I think you missed the forest for the trees. It isn't the model that matters, it's that copilot is building the classifier from intent (comments). It wouldn't matter if it was classifying flowers instead.
The problem is that we’re treating personal discoveries like they are universally applicable. Always treat people with respect, but don’t allow pseudoscience to propagate just because you dont want to hurt their feelings. I’ve been through enough coding interviews to know that y’all don’t care that much about hurting peoples feelings =P
Again, the Euromaidan happened in 2014.

This law was passed in 2017, 3 years after the Euromaidan, because Russia invaded Ukraine giving the mere existence of the Russian language in Ukraine as the reason for the invasion.

> And we wonder why people in Crimea wanted to leave after Euromaidan...
> By eliminating Russian speaking people in Ukraine? Not a great justification.

I see. I made the mistake of assuming you were arguing in good faith. Won't happen again; have a nice day!

i have personally been on teams that solved this problem and worked on this problem. across multiple companies. with larger DB size than github's.

if you think Percona and Pythian implement sharding solutions, you are deeply mistaken, this is not what they focus on at all. advice, sure. more on the perf and ops side. but not sharding implementation, and definitely not application side of things.

furthermore i am saying if other major companies were having this type of issue, everyone in the public would know about it! because the product/site/company would be down all the time. this isn't some thing you can hush hush. close to the chest? how do you keep daily outages close to the chest? completely absurd

there is literally no analog in the US tech world to a large 14 year old company having daily outages for a week, preceded by multiple outages per month consistently for the past year+.

Economics = capitalism?

It feels as if capitalism was some sort of "natural" economic organization.

The mere existence of various forms of capitalism is by itself a rebuttal.

In many countries, the civil society is fighting back against the very notion that every sector of human activity should be turned into an economic matter.

Moreover, the opposition between public and private sectors is outdated. The "commons" is a much more fertile way of building a future.

Decentralization of power and means of production through cooperatives opens a whole new path to get out of the public/private fruitless debate.

All educated people should either work solo or join/create a cooperative. Capitalism will slowly recede without the executives and intermediate management, and experts of all kinds.

No revolution of the masses is needed to fight capitalism back. But the "commons" need the creative class to take responsibility and lead the society in this gradual change.

Or you can stay within the US extreme capitalism to fight alone against billionaires, chasing the American Dream that only 1% reach (and many of them just inherit) - and in reality paying your mortgage and your education back so that you're debt free when 75. ;-)
You can write bad code in any language. Frankly the example you linked isn't a great read either. Without being a C++ expert, I wouldn't trust the comment there - are you sure the (unsafe) "rv[skip]" can't be reordered before the ("safe") "rv.at(skip)"?

The right way to handle this might be to interpret the data as unsigned, or to handle a negative value by bailing out.
You seem to be arguing "companies should be nice to workers". I don't disagree that's a worthy goal in and of itself, but that's not what I'm asking/disputing. The whole idea of henry ford story is that paying your employees well benefits them AND the business, a win-win for all. The first part by itself (ie. "that paying your employees well benefits them") is pretty obvious and doesn't need discussing. My original comment is questioning whether the second part is also true, but your comment doesn't address that at all. If that can be proven, then we'll basically have zero opposition to eliminating poverty. Imagine: we get to lift people out of poverty AND billionaires get richer? Who can say no?
This is a similar concept of Library of Babel[0].

> It recently occurred to me that the complex Byzantine structure of the existing welfare state does have one major advantage over UBI: it’s significantly harder to make the entire thing agenda driven

Uh, no, it's not.

The byzantine structure is because of (and in part to disguise the way that) every component of the system is agenda driven, and often by an agenda rather divergent from the overt purpose of the programs.
I wouldn't need to build furniture with an axe because I have a decent woodworking shop in my garage.

However, what I'm saying is that your cost for just the tree (for the raw material) is greater than the cost of pre-made manufactured and even imported-from-Europe furniture. So you can't save money with DIY furniture building.

This is an excellent question (and reading through those articles now, thank you). I know she thinks about this a lot because her patients bring her research which is obviously broken, but why should they trust her? In her specific case she has done thousands and thousands of an extremely specialized operation - one of very few people in the world to have done that many. She keeps an open mind of course, but she also sees a lot of harm done. Medical research is hard, lots of confounding factors, and almost all the time in her particular area researchers have a very small n, so they draw conclusions because of the small n (and because they are often just not good at research, they are doctors!). I'm sure the scientific method will come through in the long run, that's my opinion, but along the way it is doing a lot of harm too.

Pie has somewhat different meanings in different countries.

In the US pie refers almost exclusively to a desert, some sweet concoction with pastry uon one side (bottom or top) usually served as a slice of a larger pie.

In the commonwealth (UK et al) pies are more likely to be savory with pastry on all sides. Sometimes baked large, and served as a slice, (pastry on top) but that's not as common.

A "real" pie would be consumed by hand - think cornish pasties, pork pies and so on. Some supermarket / gas station pies would have very thin pastry and need a container for structure, but that's more a quality /cheapness issue than a naming problem.

Of course pie, like sandwich or salad is not a definitive term. Food terms almost never are. Taxation attempts to rigoursly categories but ultimately fails, having to arbitrarily group more precise terms together.

Just about every generic food description has this vagueness leading to this same "argument" over and over. What is "bread"?
Home computers don't have redundant supplies. Or at least, not commonly. Digital communication is cheap and probably more appropriate for consumer use cases than redundancy. Especially since you should be able to get temperature and input power ratings.

Computers are not subject to ohm's law, they are not resistive loads, and thankfully power supplies are not just voltage sources.

What actually happens is that when something tries to draw more power than the supply, it limits power by reducing voltage or just shutting off, or it breaks if you somehow found a craptastic supply with no protection.

Randomly shutting off is not ideal, and a brownout could be even worse. instead, the supply could actively tell the computer things like "Don't try to run full GPU power, I only have 300 watts to give" or "The switching reg chip is at 70C, throttle to avoid a sudden shutdown".

Maybe the supply could even count 60Hz cycles to keep the host clock synced in the absence of NTP(At least as long as the grid stays accurate).

And the user could be aware of all this. Power supplies are a common failure mode and really everything, even usb phone chargers, could probably benefit.

No reason to still make so many dumb devices when costs are so low.

I suppose it could be because of the ecosystem, ease of finding developers who are familiar with said ecosystem, and, as you mentioned, the reliability.

That's just bad accounting. "Reclaimed planks" aren't free materials any more than something I bought last week for $100 is free today. There's something called "opportunity cost." Someone who uses up $100 worth of reclaimed planks is spending $100.
Thanks for sharing your perspective.

> An example is fairly recent recommendations that men over 70 shouldn't have routine PSA lab tests. Urologists will tell you about the hundreds of men they see with early stage prostate cancer detected by periodic PSA tests. Following the "evidence" would result in far more deaths and disability so it's ignored.

Isn't that how any system works - the rules provide guidance (with some teeth), and the people working hands-on apply their judgment? I recently was reading about the US Army's process. Many think of the military as highly regimented, but the US Army encourages - in fact, requires - subordinates to ignore orders that don't apply to their current situation; they are required to fulfill the 'commander's intent'. Only broken, authoritarian or totalitarian systems try to apply the theoretical centralized control to practice, where it is so rigid that it is bound to fail at scale (like another army in the news, apparently). What central authority is intelligent enough, has the information for, and the vision for anticipating every situation now and in the future, knowing the best solution, and writing rules for it?

Why hasn't desktop dev evolved to be more like web dev? The tooling for web as a developer is vastly better, and as a user userscripts and extensions are wonderful. The closest thing to those for native is Frida I guess, and that's not really comparable.
"how does someone in her position know they're right and the research is wrong, and not the reverse?"

This is where you pull out the rusty ol' tools of Figuring Things Out From Evidence, which mostly boil down to:

come up with your own theories and listen to theories from others

think really hard about which one explains historical evidence the most consistently.

think about experiments to make sure theories aren't overfit to historical evidence

conduct those experiments, and "penalize" theories which don't explain the experimental results

these tools are strange things because they (noisily, but surprisingly reliably when applied truly honestly and openly) predict which theories are predictive of future experimental results.

and that's all you want out of a theory, really.

Not at all. Lazarus being community project is rough in edges but Delphi runs on "automatic" just fine.

It runs circles around it and the language has all modern doodads.
cron is in /usr/sbin (and is a daemon, not a command you'd ever run manually); shutdown is in /sbin; and ulimit is a shell builtin, not a standalone executable at all.

If I had to guess, I'd say that /sbin and /usr/sbin aren't on your $PATH for some reason. systemd is unlikely to be the culprit.
Sounds like your definition of traffic is different from my definition of traffic.
your attempting to dismiss the reality of empirically proven occurrences with hand waving. I have no interest in engaging in such a pointless discussion. NASA, the manhattan project, and other endeavors ALL generated giant economic returns from their outputs.

you can hand wave 'possible alternative realities' all you want but the fact is they triggered those economic returns. spacex would be another (recent) example of a primarily NASA funded endeavor that will generate massive returns in the future and would not exist without said funding.

anyways good luck.

> Think of GitHub copilot as StackOverflow on steroids

This is how I already think of co-pilot, but these steroids seem to be mostly for prototyping.

SO often have comments and context such as "this works with 98% of browsers", "this isn't recommended, try X instead", "this works but can break library code because it changes the global scope", "this stopped working in version X" etc etc. Context like this can be important to take into account depending on what you're building.
Science is a pitifully small portion of our budget. We spend more on potato chips as a nation than we spend on NASA for instance.
and why should anybody else trust her? well, if she just says "actually, I'm right and the science is wrong", nobody should! Anybody can say that, regardless of whether they're right or not. I could say that!

if she says, though, "actually, I'm right and the science is wrong though, and here's why:"

and explains her entire process, what results she's seen hands-on in her own surgeries, and is careful to also include anything she saw that isn't consistent with her theory..., shows her reasoning, and shows her work... that's convincing and persuasive. It's also not easy, and requires lots of work. So does figuring out things in general.

And that's called "an argument".

How do you think they manage configuration for proxying millions of customer websites? Using a globally distributed data store.
The interstitial propeller pages on mobile browsers are definitely purposeful delays to degrade the web experience. Switch to the desktop site and all of a sudden pages reload immediately.
echoing a bunch of comments but this seems sort of like a nightmare. its like the classic “dont use comments that are exactly what the code is doing”. basically you are requiring writing this type of boilerplate comments which are completely useless but are now so the machines can write the code for you. i guess if you could have some tool that auto-removes these comments afterwards it wouldn’t be terrible but i just see this as a way to have people completely forget apis and then not actually be able to find more powerful tools in a language just living on the rails that copilot provides for you. overall seems like a step backwards, especially if newer devs use this as a crutch when jumping in. now we have a generation of devs who dont actually understand the way things work.

i guess stack overflow has a similar problem but at least there people provide documentation, explanation, and helpful links. this just force feeds you some code. i dont see this as a positive movement for our industry as a whole
It is remarkable to me that, once I’m in full screen mode and into a level, I can’t tell that this isn’t the desktop version. All the same crispness and responsiveness is there. I probably knew in my mind that this is possible these days, but every bit of muscle memory I apply here is telling me that Wasm, Emscripten, etc have become quite good, in a way that an unfamiliar game couldn’t tell me.

Thanks for giving me an easier way to share this good old game with friends!
Efforts like that to 'sell' science - by dumbing it down, using 'gonzo' presentation, etc. - signals that the author believes there is little intrinsic value in the science, little of actual interest. Like a bad tasting medicine, it must be consumed with sugar.

There is an enormous amount of intrinsic value and highly engaging content in science. Scientists need to have the courage of their convictions, and express what they find so interesting and beautiful about it.

I'm very interested, but when I anticipate such presentations I run: I expect they will displace the interesting stuff with the presentation, and/or it will distract from or obscure it, sometimes unbearably. I don't want to eat delicious food with spoons full of sugar.
> It was quite fun messing with them.

While I can appreciate that, how much time did this take, of how many people, for how long? I ask all of that as someone about to launch a public facing retail site, and absolutely dread this type of stuff. It's a side hustle project on top of my actual day job/contract jobs, AKA I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to this.
>Ok, so is the issue that "science" now has to play the same rules as everyone else?
By everyone else you mean other for-profit companies. Yes, that's exactly the problem.

Universities as we think of them are on a spectrum between a research university and one that teaches undergrads.

A research university that must act like a for-profit business can turn into the outsourced R&D department of a company, at best. Or at worst you get the hot mess of food/health/pharmaceutical research whose problems are best exemplified by looking at the history researchers on the payroll of tobacco companies.

If the undergrad/grad teaching universities need to act like a for profit business, they start converging towards a strange combination of teaching "fundamental skills" as well as "job relevant skills", as I or anyone who knows people currently in one can attest to. A poor cross between a company's outsourced job training program, minus actual hands on experience, and what universities claimed to be about, minus the rigor.

Or, more cynically, the university transforms into a place to go get a piece of paper that you need to get a well paying job which has the vaneer of teaching you deep concepts as well as skills useful on the job.
Seems highly dependent on the protocol implementation. In either case, if cpu or memory bottlenecks it's pretty bad.
I think private "academic journals" are a big part of the problem.
Wasm is a Harvard architecture mostly because it wants to support implementations based on static recompilation. Obviously, self-modifying code is a problem for static recompilation, and the easiest way to prevent self-modifying code is just to not expose code in the address space at all. There's also the historical fact that wasm is a successor to asm.js, and asm.js is a Harvard architecture by virtue of the fact that JS Typed Arrays don't allow you to execute code stored in them.

Nobody made it an investment asset, it just happened as certain pieces of land grew more valuable for practical reasons. This is unavoidable unless you make it so you can't sell property, which would also mean you can't buy property - the government would need to manage peoples' needs based on family size and do the maintenance of maintaining property to the same level as landlords.
I was looking for the same point, specifically about Sucralose. Here's the point for anyone else thats curious (from the study itself; not the article):
