> We’re making GitHub Copilot, an AI pair programmer that suggests code in your editor, generally available to all developers for $10 USD/month or $100 USD/year. It will also be free to use for verified students and maintainers of popular open source projects.

> Do you want to start using GitHub Copilot today? Get started with a 60-day free trial, and check out our pricing plans. It’s free to use for verified students and maintainers of popular open source software.

Seems pretty clear. If you're willing to do your own research (aka going to the CoPilot site): https://github.com/github-copilot/tp_signup, you'll see that pricing reflected here as well as the date when the free period ends, which is August 22nd.

Yeah, this feels like the same nonsense that scientific journal publishers pull. If your product only has value because of what we made, it's completely unfair to not pay us for our work and then to turn around and charge us to use the output.
Actually, I quite like it. Especially for these repetitive things one can forget. Stuff like there is a deleted field in one table, usually you would write an sql query like

.filter(table.deleted==False)

nothing complicated, but one tends to forget it. So i got into the habit of starting a new line in whatever query I am building and see what copilot thinks I forgot.
If you need to skip the paywall you can do so by clicking through from Google (just search for the title).
Given the cost of the infrastructure needed to run those large language models, it's very likely that Microsoft is still operating copilot at a loss. I don't see an issue with it being a paid service as it is a costly service to provide.

What I pity however is that there's no free tier for hobbyists as paying a 10 usd monthly subscription wont make sense when you only code occasionally. For professionals using it everyday, 10 usd / month is inconsequential.

I don't think that would have costed them much more to offer a free allowance to cover say an average coding session of 8 hours per month.
Appreciated? They didn't like it at all. It didn't matter what I did, their fiefdom relied on people being afraid of computers and not realizing how simple word processors were. That could not possibly last, and it didn't.
Discrete power MOSFETs are only switches. Discrete linear-stable MOSFETs are also usable as linear amplifiers. TFA is about mosfets on ICs. When making your own ICs, you have precise control over a lot of the variables, and the variables you have less precise control over are often going to be very similar for adjacent FETs on the same wafer, so you can do things with them that you can't do with discrete MOSFETs.
I think remote work has an enormous effect on this. I've been working remotely for over 20 years and this is one of the biggest reasons I've remained in major cities throughout. Don't get me wrong, I _love_ the city, but more importantly, without the city, I would have almost no in-person social life. I wouldn't have met my wife, or all the friends I've made over the years - most of whom don't really know what I do for a living.

I've found that I prefer this life - where I choose my friends rather than having acquaintances thrust upon me by my occupation, as they were in school.

I'm hoping that with a shift to significantly more remote work, the options open up for more ways to meet people outside of work - which is seriously one of the _worst_ ways to meet people; Especially in a romantic sense.

It's become more of our own responsibility to meet people. That can be hard. But it also means that we can be more selective about the kind of people we meet. Don't like talking about work? Don't meet people who do what you do. Don't like to drink? Find meet-ups where alcohol isn't the main event. Love [whatever]? Find [whatever]. Cities tend to be great for this.
Could you expound? Are you saying strong quads + weak hamstrings == knee pain? I recently started using an exercise bike in addition to squats and climbs in order to get in shape and found that I started having chronic knee pain for the first time in my life, which persisted for months even after I stopped using the bike. I don't use clip on shoes, which I would imagine would allow hamstrings to be utilized more.

Very few datapoints right now, but my knees seem to feel better, not worse, after sprinting exercises. I've been very athletic my whole life and never had knee problems before.

None of this is contradictory to what I am saying. The fact that companies have been started in Europe does not contradict the fact that it is harder to raise in Europe.

FAANG companies having EU offices with work councils is completely irrelevant to what I am saying.
Was looking for something like this for a long time. I primarily use python and was looking forward to learning rust because of all the love it gets.
I looked it over, but the properties provided prevent us from organizing and prioritizing the tickets on things that matter to us. Doesn't look like we can add properties to issues.

So, if we have some kinda numerical metric, call it "foo", we can't ask linear to give us all foo's over 6.

So if we wanted to do any kinda metrics, basically, we have to export our whole project as CSV and do the calculations there? I just checked the export system. It exports everything only. I don't think this is tenable for project management.

I can see it work for a personal task list or a small team doing simple sprints. But... I wouldn't see it used beyond that.

Maybe I'm off base on all this, I did just give the product a quick once over. If I missed ways to make all this work, then that's on me.
I did explicitly mention that it might not be a good idea, though this is an exaggerated case since situations like these realistically constitute a very small portion of actual codebases.

But a sibling comment [0] did provide an example that would give a much simpler approach to accomplishing the same thing in this particular instance, with zero extra lines and runtime complexity.

Even really simple MCs are likely going to use compressed instructions. RISC-V apparently takes something like 8k gates. Compressed instructions take around 400 gates or 5% more area in this case.

SRAM need 6 transistors, so just 67 bits or a bit less than 8.5 bytes of storage reduction is enough to make this worth the gate cost. If you have just 1kb of I-cache, a 10% savings or 100 bytes would be 10x the cost of implementing compressed instructions.

In short, I can't think of any reason you'd target a 32-bit microcontroller RISC-V design and not decide to also implement compressed instructions. If you're so sensitive to this cost, there are probably 8/16-bit MCs that would be a better choice.

"open source is great, except when it's used in a way I don't like"
I think some people here are just generally negative about any new projects be there language, tool or whatever. I often see comments that basically demand that projects justify their own existence.

I guess people like to role play as venture capitalist asking the critical questions or something. It super annoys me because is reduces my own enjoyment as I love learning about new things.

Also, a few up-and-coming languages are trying to fit into the C-replacement niche, so maybe it's some misguided fanboy-ism coming up.

Personally, I am just glad Drew decided to share Hare with us. Always interesting to see what trade-off are made in a certain language and why. Definitely like the minimalism, will keep an eye on it.

I remember typing in programs from books and magazines. Although this is theoretically no different from copy-paste, I wonder if the slowness of the process gave me time to think about what I was typing. "Why is this bit here? What happens if I leave it out? Could I replace this with something else?" That's something you don't get today, when moving code from one place to another takes a couple of key-presses.
Saving energy is less important than cutting out human labor (drivers).

For context, the global average cost for electricity is about $0.13 USD per kWH. From wikipedia, "Over an 8-hour work shift, an average, healthy, well-fed and motivated manual laborer may sustain an output of around 75 watts of power." [0] So, from a purely mechanical perspective, a human can only output about 0.6 kWH of work per day, which is only worth about $0.08 of electricity per day. And yet, in states like California, where this test is being done, human labor costs a minimum of $15/hour, or $120/day.

Energy is not the limiting factor. We could use drastically more energy and still save gobs of money if we can cut the cost of employing a human out of the loop.

Not to go into too much detail, but I've had to seriously recalibrate my "respect women" upbringing to make my wife happy. And I'm not even talking sub/dom stuff or outright rape-fantasy things like I've heard tell of from my (somewhat shell-shocked) unattached and actively-dating friends.

Nitpick - they're not (just) using public domain code for training - they're using "publicly available sources, including code in public repositories on GitHub."[0]

This includes a lot of code under copyleft licenses, and possibly even more code under no license at all (implicitly All Rights Reserved). It's not obvious to me that it's ethical (or possibly even legal) to sell a model derived from code not in the public domain.

I think you are mistaking B2C feedback with feedback from developers, who Apple relies on to make apps and provide exactly that kind of feedback.

Whenever I talk to an Apple employee on Twitter about a bug I’ve found, they tell me to file a Feedback. At WWDC, we are also often told to file any unexpected behavior and feature requests as Feedbacks.
I knew someone would give this sort of thought terminating cliché as a reply. At least you aren't denying that these things are hard left politics.

Nobody ever overtly celebrates capitalism. It isn't true that there is such a thing as "capitalism month" in the same way there is pride month, with explicitly named events, flags suddenly popping up everywhere and so on. Communism has May 1st but capitalism? No. There never has been. You know this full well, which is why you have to lie to try and distract from the point - if there was such an event you'd hate it.

LGBT people aren't oppressed anywhere that celebrates pride day/week/month but at any rate, the obsession with dividing society into oppressed and oppressors is pure hard left ideology. Always was, since the days of Marx or even the French Revolution. It has no place being forced into people's lives via every possible angle - that is and always has been the strategy of highly destructive people.

There is logic to ensure that copilot does not emit exact duplicates of code in the training set... but that logic is significantly newer than that tweet.
My main workstation runs Linux. It has a second GPU (NVIDIA RTX 2080 Super), USB 3.1 card, and an NVMe drive passed to a guest via PCIe passthrough.[1] I have a 2x2 DisplayPort 1.4 KVM to drive my monitors with the host GPU on one side, and the guest GPU on the other side. The peripherals are connected to the host through any open USB port, and the guest through the PCIe add-in card.

Audio is handled with Scream[2] mostly so I can get >65536Hz sample rate. (Really terrible things seem to happen if you try to boot a qemu guest w/ the emulated audio attached to pipewire-pulse when the DSP graph has a 96/192KHz sample rate. I've also had latency issues in the past w/ bonafide pulseaudio and the emulated audio card.) I do all my gaming and most of my browsing inside the Windows VM, which is bridged to my usual data VLAN. The linux host is where I do development work which lives on a separate experimental VLAN.

Other than that I run a few LXC containers for various services needed for running the LAN. (DNS, mail, VPNs, etc.) - I just want that stuff logically separated so that they can either (a) be moved to my new workstation in 2024, or (b) if one breaks it can just be rebuilt from scratch without affecting the others. It's also nice because I can use whatever distro works best for that particular package.

Also some are equally confusing as the originals.

There isnt much point in making a competing standard as we already know what happens (more confusion, more fractured knowledge, etc.)

As for whitegoods manufacturers: they could, as a minimum, describe their various wash and dry settings using the appropriate symbols rather than marketing terms.

Can we start off by defining what a senior developer is? To me it means somebody who is capable of independent problem solving without handholding. If that's the definition used, then somebody can be a senior developer 6 months into their career, or still not be a senior developer 20 years into their career.

> has yet to give me anything I wouldn't be able to just write myself

Sure it has: Time.

In terms of economics it's really simple: Does Copilot free up more than 10$ worth of your time per month? If the product works at all as I understand it (I haven't tried), the answer should be a resounding "yes, and then some" for pretty much any SE, given the current market rates. If the answer is no (for example because it produces too many bad suggestions which break your flow), the product simply doesn't work.

There might be other reasons for you not to use it. Ego could be one. Your call.

> Also feels kind of icky to train on open source projects and then charge for the output.

I don't know why it would feel any more icky than making money off of open source in other ways.
We've all seen that, but by far and away the most chaotic people at Google are the ones who think they're "fighting hate". How often do we read about some massive drama caused by activist employees trying to get each other fired over some perceived offense? Seems incredibly common these days. It never happened when I worked there, because we were primarily libertarian laissez-faire user-focused geeks. And yet there was also no problems with "hateful people".

Weird that, no? There was no drama or employee in-fighting, yet also no racism, sexism or homophobia. How ever did we manage that.
