For simple circuits, LTspice: https://www.analog.com/en/design-center/design-tools-and-cal...

And it's definitely used by real engineers. It's for making switching power supplies, so it can handle fairly complex circuits. I wouldn't venture into RF/high speed circuits with it though, since the included parasitics aren't sufficient.

And, custom functions are supported, so, I believe, you can put whatever maths in a component (I've never ventured this far): https://ltwiki.org/index.php?title=B_sources_(complete_refer...
> I don't know why it would feel any more icky than making money off of open source in other ways.

For me, this entirely comes down to the philosophy of how a deep learning model should be described. On the one hand, the training and usage could be thought of as separate steps. Copyrighted material goes into training the model, and when used it creates text from a prompt. This is akin to a human hearing many examples of jazz, then composing their own song, where the new composition is independent of the previous works. On the other hand, the training and usage could be thought of as a single step that happens to have caching for performance. Copyrighted material and a prompt both exist as inputs, and the output derives from both. This is akin to a photocopier, with some distortion applied.

The key question is whether the output of Copilot are derivative works of the training data, which as far as I know is entirely up in the air and has no court precedent in either direction. I'd lean toward them being derivative works, because the model can output verbatim copies of the training data. (E.g. Outputting the exact code with identical comments to Quake's inverse sqrt function, prior to having that output be patched out.)

Getting back to the use of open source, if the output of Copilot derives from its training data in a legal sense, then any use of Copilot to produce non-open-source code is a violation of every open-source licensed work in its training data.
I found the whole series pretty useful. Rust is a good addition

How do you feel about support though? Paying users tend to want that...
Because you mention slaving away. Are you right now? Doesn't sound like. Will you if you have to support a product? Hmmm.

Feel free to call this spiritual nonsense, but I believe the intent with which products are created is attached to the product. Products are a reflection of who the person was at the time they've built them.
(See Facebook. For all the bells and whistles, you can still smell the dorm room at the core of the product. Changing the name to Meta hardly changed that...)

Take everything you've learned (for example - that tools to help other people be awesome.) and build something new. By the way, that something new could be on top of the tool. Open source projects I follow (spaCy, HuggingFace) seem to do a good job of it. But that goes back to thinking of it as a company, including the responsibility owed to users...
How does it compare with TabNine, now Copilot is not free anymore?

lifting weights can distort the natural balance of muscles and ligaments around the body and can create strain-/break-points as well. that's why, especially for the elderly, full-body exercise like walking, yoga, and tai chi are usually better, because it maintains relative balance implicitly without having to manage that explicitly.

the only caveat is that it's really important (even more with age) to also work out your heart, blood vessels, lungs, and abdomen, so you need something that ups the intensity for at least 15-30 minutes 3× a week: running, biking, tennis, etc. for older folks, swimming is really great since it's low impact.

we generally all need both types of exercise (full body and more intense) to maintain fitness throughout our lives. some activities can fulfill both needs at the same time (i still play basketball for this very reason).
Yes, because that code is duplicated exactly hundreds of times over across the internet. Your colleague’s isn’t.

I think college is beneficial for everyone and I honestly have some regrets for not going that route myself, but I think the costs associated with it heavily outweigh any benefits at the moment, especially in the long term.

I'm curious where I would fit into your opinion of all this. I'm a high-school drop out with 1.7 GPA (ended up getting a GED eventually), but I've been in tech/software dev for nearly 17 years now. Whether it be job offers or ability to perform well in my role, the lack of college hasn't been a barrier at all. I currently work in a FAANG and usually outperform my peers and haven't had any problems getting offers for management positions. I got into software dev because of my love for video games. I have an average IQ and I'm not gifted. You say "almost everyone", but there's nothing special that sets me apart from "almost everyone". What are your thoughts on that?

22 years is a long time to deprecate bad command line arguments.
Additionally: when I allowed copilot to do heavier coding for me, I found myself returning later and feeling somewhat unfamiliar with the code. That's really bad for maintenance, project pace, etc. I don't want to try to re-learn, fix, remember and maintain code that someone else (a computer in this case) wrote. Its hard enough doing so reliably in group code settings (work), now injecting that into my daily coding life feels like a solution I didn't ask for.

I will say that I'm not averse to change and do appreciate the new tools that we have available to us - Starting on a x386 writing QBASIC as a kid to using Jetbrains Rider is an indescribably different experience.

That said, I'm not ready to move to the backseat and let the computer take over yet. In small doses copilot is fine, but I wouldn't lean heavily on it for large projects or to do the thinking for me.
Can you use non-complimentary MOSFETS if they have a dead zone (i.e. both are closed for some middle voltage, resultig in high-z output)?
Surely, you know that there is a difference between abstinence (voluntary, pursued for esoteric reasons) and deprivation (involuntary, imposed by a malevolent society).

I think children should do enough chores to have a sense of self-efficacy. Same with survival skills. Being college-age or older and not knowing how to cook or do basic cleaning is an embarrassment, even if you're rich.

All that said, if you want your kids to succeed in the world, they have to know how to do a task without becoming the one who does the task, if you catch the distinction. In the workplace, you have to be willing to do unpleasant jobs, but be extremely selective in what you're willing to let yourself become the one who does. Outside of the upper class, no one really learns this skill. People from working- or middle-class backgrounds are either too resistant to doing tasks they consider beneath them (which is a bad look) or too willing, which leads to recurring time and image costs that eat up their ability to have a career.

Yes. There has been a recent change in alignment, most on the left are now anti-elon while those on the right have embraced him.

I'm sure they have a more detailed internal postmortem, and I imagine it'd go into that. This is a nice high-level overview. They probably don't want to bury that under details of their communication processes, much less go into exactly who did what when for wide consumption by an audience that may not be on board with blameless postmortem culture.
Ask HN: Is scientific facts more important than scientific thinking?
Scientific Fact: Up-to-date science discoveries that absolutely excludes ancient knowledge like astrology or metaphysics.

Scientific Thinking: How you think when you can't do experiment about the matter at the moment. While the seemingly like term of "scientific method" is defined to be the almost same thing but when you are doing/can do experiment at the moment.

I think knowing scientific facts is more important because people are just gathering pseudo-facts and that leads to the wrong conclusion all the time.
First of all, very impressive :) I AM a techie and I would never have come up with this solution, because I would have become obsessed with how the software knows it's running another instance and trying to hack that.

Second of all,

>If you say that there is a property X of computation that occurs independently of how the computation is actually carried out... That's all the word "abstract" means in this context.

Ok, that makes sense, sure.

>...because hopefully we agree that mathematics only studies abstract properties...

I can't agree, performing a calculation isn't an abstract concept, it's a physical process. It does map to abstract concepts though.

>Beyond that I argue that computation itself is entirely abstract and though I don't seem to be able to get you to admit that, I think most people, certainly most computer scientists would admit it readily.

That is not the case. The fact that computation is fundamentally a physical process is a core principle of several branches of physics and computer science:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computation
https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspa.2014.018...

Computers aren't abstract, they're real objects doing things in the real world. If the thing they are physically doing is not computation, what is it?

>So what we're left with is a claim that an abstract process can produce something that is not abstract and such claims are just not plausible. That would be exactly like a computer simulation of the weather producing actual water.

Abstractions cannot affect the real world, sure, so if computation is purely abstract how come your computer can display my message on your physical screen right now? How is that happening, if not by computation?

You're really tangling yourself up in knots with this view of abstraction. You can map what happens in a computer against abstract concepts and abstract objects yes. You can also map operations in several different physical systems against the same abstract objects. That's what it means when we say computation is implementation independent. But it still needs to be implemented to actually happen.

Previously you said this:

>Computation is not a physical process any more than addition is a physical process. It is true that to actually perform either a physical instantiation is necessary...

So it's not a physical process, but you can instantiate it. And it's purely abstract so can't affect the physical world. Yet here we are using computers.

I'm lost, frankly.
I've been using Copilot for a few months and...

Yeah, it makes mistakes, sometimes it shows you i.e. the most common way to do something, even if that way has a bug in it.

Yes, sometimes it writes a complete blunder.

And yes again, sometimes there are very subtle logical mistakes in the code it proposes.

But overall? It's been great! Definitely worth the 10 bucks a month (especially with a developer salary). :insert shut up and take my money gif:

It's excellent for quickly writing slightly repetitive test cases; it's great as an autocomplete on steroids that completes entire lines + fills in all arguments, instead of just a single identifier; it's great for quickly writing nice contextual error messages (especially useful for Go developers and the constant errors.Wrap, Copilot is really good at writing meaningful error messages there); and it's also great for technical documentation, as it's able to autocomplete markdown (and it does it surprisingly well).

Overall, I definitely wouldn't want to go back to writing code without it. It just takes care of most of the mundane and obvious code for you, so you can take care of the interesting bits. It's like having the stereotypical "intern" as an associate built-in to your editor.

And sometimes, fairly rarely, but it happens, it's just surprising how good of a suggestion it can make.

It's also ridiculously flexible. When I start writing graphs in ASCII (cause I'm just quickly writing something down in a scratch file) it'll actually understand what I'm doing and start autocompleting textual nodes in that ASCII graph.
I have a chart with all the symbols printed out next to the laundry machine.

In most cases it's pretty obvious how a fabric should be washed just based on the feel of the material. In cases where it isn't, I've got the chart up in the one place I do laundry. Most launder mats I've been to have the same chart on the wall somewhere.

I'm not sure why memorizing is so bad in this case.
I find the language "Paid: $___" confusing because it is past tense and reads like the task has been completed. I suggest changing it to "Will Pay" or "Bounty"
The "one year of updates" thing is kind of confusing. What if an app has a longer lifetime than that? Can you no longer get updates to Avo? What about bugs and security updates?

I think you're over-complicating the pricing. Why not just say it's $250 per project per year? You can still keep the fallback option and explain it in your FAQ. It would be more immediately understandable this way imo.
Agree. I've completed data pipelines for several projects and have found that the cleanest, and often fastest solution is to use SQL to structure the data as needed. This is anecdotal and I'm not an expert with SQL, but I haven't come across a situation where R or Pandas dataframes worked better than a well written query for data manipulation. This has the benefit of simplifying collaboration across teams because within my company not everyone uses the same toolset for analysis, but we all have access to the same database. Other tools are better suited to analysis or expansion of the data with input from other sources, but within our own data SQL wins.

I believe Cicero, in one of his speeches, complained about women being into young clean-shaven men, and not the robust full-bearded patrician look.
Criticizing cancel culture as a 'woke' author (2021)
I have been close to installing a Windows VM only to get proper support for the Microsoft Office suite, which is used a lot at my new job. The browser version available on Linux is just not very good. The worst offense is that it doesn't open template files at all. But the features supported in Excel is also kind of weak.
“The writer’s role is to be a menacer of the public’s conscience,” Serling later said. “He must have a position, a point of view. He must see the arts as a vehicle of social criticism and he must focus the issues of his time.”

Good quote. It's been weird to see the belief growing the last few years that art should (or even can) be apolitical, and an artist's job is to make art uninformed by their political needs.

Such an art doesn't exist of course, and I'm thankful to see a classic acknowledge that not as a necessary deviation from an ideal, but as an ideal in its own right.
How can the user be violating the license, not the distributor? If I give you a binary that gives you a Disney movie, it's not you violating the copyright, it's me. The copilot itself is violating the copyright, not its users.
Reminds me of the scene in Fight Club where Tyler explains how he makes money (he sells rich women their own fat asses in the form of luxury soap). In this case the fat is open source code hosted in GitHub, the soap is Copilot, and the rich women are us, the developers.

I just got on the yearly Plan. Just couple of days before I just wanted to share how happy I have been using Copilot. It is definitely a productivity tool in your box.

I cannot share the code here, but to explain in simple terms I was able to write around 100 lines of code in say 10 seconds.
I had a switch statement, around 7 variables with around 5 if conditions inside each case.
I retrieve data from end point. Do JSON serialization. Convert JSON to a data class.
Use the data . Loop over the data and then work with the elements.

Copilot, understood the first two conditions of what I was doing and just completed the rest for me. Replaced it with right variables, type annotations, etc.

I would definitely recommend this to any one at this price point. Sure, I was so happy using it for free since the launch of the product and did not expect it to be coming so soon out of waitlist. But it is ok to pay for it.

I use it on both VSCode and Neovim and it works beautifully with both editors.

PS: I was early adopter of TabNine too, have used it for quite some time, however Copilot would be my preference.
I very often will let it suggest its thing and then tweak it to work how I want. It's like super auto-complete for me. If I can't remember how a specific pattern goes for some library, I'll let it write it for me, and then double check it to make sure it's doing what I want. That's still faster than me going to check the API and writing it all out by hand.

Most projects are 90% BS glue code and 10% actually interesting code. I don't mind only having help with the 90%.
> My mind is blown by the people saying $10/month is too much. $10 a month for this is an unbelievably good deal! If you value your time, this is a ridiculously good deal.

Maybe people who used it didn't find enough value in it? Is that their fault?

I haven't used it, but it's certainly not immediately clear to me that there is enough value there to justify $10/mo.
Cantonese is in my opinion a richer and more interesting language than Mandarin, yet much more difficult in terms of finding resources and tools for working with it. I wish I could support this project but for some reason none of Github's paid features, including sponsoring, seem to work on my account.
I can't say there are many things I do not want to know, but there are things I do not want to see like videos/photos of deadly car crashes, war battles, murders, etc.

So I also never watch "slasher" movies/TV, or read books that depict graphic violence/gore.

I'm not squeamish, I have raised, slaughtered, and dressed livestock since I was a teen. That's never been a source of "fun" for me though. It has a real life purpose and the end result has always been a much improved source of food for my family and I.

I seldom watch anything on TV that has any violence at all and to be honest I'm a bit leery of those who go out of their way, like to a movie theater, to see it. I'm 62 and this something I've done since a was a teen.

I just don't want those images in my memory. I've never looked into it but my gut feeling is they desensitize us. Looking at the current state of the obsession with owning arms designed specifically to murder humans compared to when I was growing up, I think there is ample proof of that.

I like how "open source project" == "on github". Can't say that I am surprised though.
> It’s better to have less monopolies and it would be better if one high salary was split in two due with someone from a smaller competing company.

But the VCs whose needs you are arguing for are the ones who are seeking those monopolies, at least in tech. With the advent of blitzscaling as a preferred strategy, we are seeing VCs who are seeking to create monopolies and own markets from the start. So why do you feel sorry for those investors? They burn plenty of money, and if they lose money on one company, they have plenty more in their portfolios.

And if unions are truly as detrimental to the system as you claim, then perhaps it is good if they arise in VC-hyperfunded startups, because then they will thwart these nascent monopolies, and allow bootstrapped companies more of a fighting chance.

Your narrative contradicts itself.

> We should allow entrepreneurs to create new companies to challenge them which is better for society.

The existence of unions would not poise a challenge to entrepreneurship.
