I’ve seen a couple of these blooms—- first at the NCSU Plant Biology greenhouse and then at Tony Avent’s Plant Delights nursery.

Both were spectacular. Neither smelled at all.

I think the smell may only last for a short period, likely before the bloom peaks. We didn’t want to jump the gun on the bloom, so we visited a day after we heard it bloomed.
Weird how there is limited hard evidence of a secret, illegal government program... It's a lot more than I've seen than evidence for the claims of Yandex proactively sharing data with the Russian government.

Also where do you see Venezuela?
It has been shown to have reproduced code verbatim, including comments. If that code falls under a license that has requirements or restrictions, you are infringing. The problem is, how do you know when this is occurring or when copilot spliced many things together to create something sufficiently new?

I agree with your side. Here’s my take. For some people, there’s a line you don’t cross. However, if the line is going to be crossed anyway, why not cross it in the best way possible? I’m inclined to believe that if done well, even those against it being done will end up finding appreciation for the next works.
Agree. In my entire life I don’t think I’ve heard anyone question if the usual childhood vaccinations are worth taking. They know that risk is greater than reward.

There was however a lot of skepticism and debate about the Covid vaccine because risk/reward is much more ambiguous.

One of the ones in SF bloomed just last weekend! Was very cool to see. Their lifecycle is very interesting too — an earlier stage of the plant is a large tree-like structure that is actually just a leaf! One of those was present as well.

No, you misunderstand the goals and methodology. It might be better if you watch some full examples somewhere.

> people are also tempted to simply reply when asked, even if they don't know the answer

People are intentionally given as much time as possible and not pressured into answering. This is something they focus on consciously. Conversations are even ended with exchange of contact info in case they want to follow up.

The point is not to "win" but to get them to think about why they believe something and actually come to a conclusion (but not necessary right now.) It's acknowledged that this may even strengthen their original position, which is seen as a good thing. The point is not for the questioner to argue anything or come to any conclusion.

> Problem solving, decomposition, and the ability to temporarily hold large amounts of information (documentation indexes / what functions are available? kinda things) are all more important than language ability, I think

Makes sense. I asked this question because I have been getting feedback from some managers (technical and non-technical) that good writers translate to good programmers, but I couldn't find any evidence/whitepaper/quality discussion on that
If the comments here anything to go by, “Big Data” has simply become “data”
Antivirus software from McAfee/Norton/others is (at best) a placebo, at worst malware. Purge it from your computer as soon as possible. Don't buy or download anything new.

On Windows, you only need built-in malware protection (i.e. Windows Defender).
That's because English and Russian have pretty similar vocabulary size.
Vocabulary does not reflect the size of the data.

There are definitely kernel bugs, but yes they are relatively infrequent. It takes a lot of effort to achieve that though, and better tooling can help.

There are also definitely kernel security problems (e.g. this from a quick google: https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-33/p...). If Rust can eliminate a percentage of those then great.
Cool idea -- in some ways this "deno"-fies node, which I think is a sensible approach.

So far, Hagana only blocks outbound traffic from packages that are using the http or https modules. Support for other modules (e.g. net, dgram, dns) is coming soon.

This could be a problematic approach, though. If you are going OSS and do want to become ubiquitous, you will likely need much stronger protections. Obfuscation is not a path to security but blocking only some very basic vectors and then being explicit about it will have attackers adopt other similar vectors.

All in all, a cool first attempt at building with some work to do!

I don't know how tech savvy or experienced you are as an internet user.

If you keep your activity limited to legit, known sites, and even well-known, reputed "illegal" sites, you don't need a Windows antivirus in 2022. Has been the case since late 2019/early 2020 or even earlier.

Use good browsers (FF for e.g.) and uBlock Origin while browsing.

Do not plug in storage drives outside of your family or ones belonging to really malware-aware person.

Use common sense. And you know something is wrong when something is way too cheap in an ad or there are too many women with horn in your area.

(If you absolutely want to spend some money then get Quick Heal. Or get MalwareBytes.)

Windows Defender is enough. Enable recommended settings.

(I use Windows only when I need PowerPoint. But I do (free) IT of some people that have Windows.)
Lending below the real (inflation adjusted) interest rate is very common, and this is the main case. If there is an average of 2% inflation, a deposit of 0% nominal interest is -2% of real interest rate.

But even at 0% nominal interest rate (in periods of low inflation), you see organizatons lend at below 0%, if the risk is zero or close to zero (such as when a bank is lending to the central bank).

In fact, throughout history, savings were usually stored in some commodity. The most common ones were grain and gold. Storing grain and gold is not easy, you have to ward off rats, thieves, rot etc. So throughout history, people have been paying granaries, goldsmiths, banks and others a fee for storing their commodities.

If a granary were almost full, the owner migth decide to sell some of the grain, and gain profit, instead of storing all the grain under his supervision. This would be relatively safe if the reserve was big enough, and if he would have ways to cover a "granary run".
Most companies probably realized that they don't have Big Data problems because they only have a limited amount of data which you actually can process in an acceptable amount of time on a single Postgres instance. Distributed data processing has a huge upfront tax and you really only want to be doing it if the data set is enormous.

I guess it is similar to other technologies which most companies or developers would really never need due to their limited scale like distributed databases, NoSQL or microservices: It is interesting technology and engineers would like to get their hands on it because that's what the big boys play with, even if they don't really need it. In the meantime the industry hypes it because the technology is difficult so they know that they can make money doing consulting.

I'm not saying that it is not useful technology, I work at a company where we had the need to go from Postgres to "Big Data" tooling. But for tons of businesses it just doesn't make any sense. And even in our case one of the questions I have most frequently is: What business decision are you taking based on processing this enormous amount of data? Can we not take the same decision based on less data?
I wasn't staking a position on whether Copilot is fair use, just pointing out that fair use doesn't care about license.

That said, copilot itself is not a replacement for your open source project that it was trained on. The code it generates may or may not be, but that's probably not Github's problem as far as copyright law is concerned.

If I spent hours looking at the Linux kernel source, then wrote a kernel that had a lot of the same ideas and idioms, that would indeed be considered infringement.

Some open source developers are not allowed by their employers to read source code with a different license for fear of infringement.
Rather than the skills, the difficulty most companies have with ML is that they don't understand their data before they begin. There's a data engineering piece of work required before the data science.
Google is US company which pays taxes in US. The company just like everyone in US obviously do share responsibility for what US government does. Fortunately Google and it's leadership actually does have political positions even if you dont like it.

In any case as unfortunate owner of Russian passport with friends and collegues in Ukraine I am more affected by Putins war than by anything US does.

So I want Yandex to be seen as part of Kremlin propoganda machine and threated accordingly. This company grew monopoly in many markets in Russia and they directly benefited from Putin regime. Since Ilya Segalovich died company started to be "out of politics" and this complete lack of any political activity lead country to these terrible events.

My biggest problem with webauthn, it REQUIRES javascript. I know it's 2022 and everyone just throws the JS security issues under the rug and pretends that running JS for security is 100% totally awesome.

Yes you can mitigate the security issues a lot with a myriad of security headers, that still doesn't mean you aren't expanding your threat model a lot by enabling JS for authentication.

no-code software can work just fine if the scope is small - and that's where you find the target audience.

"back in the day" it was super easy to just slap together a GUI software using Visual Studio, Delphi, or whatever you had at hand. Really simple editors to make the GUI, and with basic programming knowledge, you programmed the various functions. Easy as pie.

If you wanted some software to run on a website, you could do the same with Java Applets - if you knew some java.

Again, this is stuff that non-programmers could learn in a fairly short amount of time. Business analysts, professors, engineers, whatever.

But what about these days? Well, even if you're smart - even if you know some basic programming - EVEN if you have the will, webdev is a fucking nightmare if you want something that's not static or very basic. The hoops you have to jump through, just to get your idea ported to a website.

These people are not going to write large applications or services that needs to be fast, scale big, be fully tested, etc. They mostly need some quick and dirty apps that can solve things, and without a too steep learning curve.

Ive seen Dr scholls in-store kiosks that do a mapping of feet to (i think) create custom insoles. It would be cool to have a digital file of not just a 3D impression of your feet, but also some data related to pressure distribution related to gait that could (in theory) find an optimal shoe (not objectively optimal -- but aligned with others that have similar characteristics).

And presumably as your weight changes you would need new models.

Heck I'm surprised there aren't more "smart shoes" that track weight changes and mobility.

>In the end there's no practical utility to this. We just pretend that we're living in a world where you get a 100W light bulb and know exactly what it will cost you, and not a world where half your bulbs claim to be 100W but are actually 14W with 100W-incandescent-equivalent and such.

Where i live, the pricing is based on the amount of energy "consumed" during a month. plus we use 220v.

i use the kwh extensively, my induction cooker is rated at 1300Watts so i know by running it for 1 hour i am consuming 1.3kwh.

my monthly "consumption" before installing a 5kwh solar on-grid used to be around 300Kwh during summer months so over time i have learned to "reduce" my monthly usage, aka kwh by reducing my electric hot water geyser( going to solar water heater) (2kw geyser).

the kwh is definitely a good indicator for me
IMO the main reason these companies don't release their models is not ethical concerns but money:

- NVIDIA sells GPUs and interconnect needed for training large models. Releasing a pretrained LM would hurt sales, while only publishing a teaser paper boosts them.

- Google, Microsoft, and Amazon offer ML-as-a-service and TPU/GPU hardware as a part of their cloud computing platforms. Russian and Chinese companies also have their clouds, but they have low global market share and aren't cost-efficient, so nobody would use them to train large LMs anyway.

- OpenAI are selling their models as an API with a huge markup over inference costs; they are also largely sponsored by the aforementioned companies, further aligning their interests with them.

Companies that release large models are simply those who have nothing to lose by doing so. Unfortunately, you need a lot of idle hardware to train them, and companies that have it tend to also launch a public cloud with it, so there is a perpetual conflict of interests here.

Circa 2000 I would go visit relatives and find that their internet explorer typically had 20+ toolbars installed, maybe they could see 100 pixels of content at the bottom of a 640 x 480 screens, all the rest was toolbars.

I feel the same way about browser add-ons today. All they can do is slow down your browser, add bugs, and violate your privacy. Most of them don't do anything of value that you can't just do on a web site.

> A human who will type out the fast inverse square root algorithm line by line won't be exempt from copyright/license infringement just because he remembered it from the top of their head.

A human would probably try to defend against a copyright infringement suit over that by arguing something like the following.

There isn't sufficient creative expression in fast inverse square root (FISR) to be copyrightable. There is plenty of creativity in that thing, but it is in things that are not copyrightable such as the underlying mathematics that it is using. Copyright covers expression of ideas, not use of ideas (that's patents) or the ideas themselves.

The expression in FISR that they probably are copying from is pretty much all just in choosing the names of variables, and most implementations I've seen just use pretty normal names that follow normal naming conventions that people use when they aren't putting any thought into naming their variables.

That level of expression is arguably not creative enough to support copyright, at least in the US after Feist Publications, Inc., v. Rural Telephone Service Co., 499 U.S. 340 (1991) [1].

(I'm assuming that the human didn't do anything stupid, like reproduce the comments too).

The PNY variant is pretty much the only one you can try to buy as an individual part, and those go for ~$15k. If you can get them.

The buzzword had many definitions, and with time, people realize that what they are dealing with is not BIG data, but just data.

People tried to define big data in terms of the size of the data set. The best definition of big data I heard is "a data storage and/or processing system that cannot handle the amount of data in one physical machine and needs distributed storage and/or processing".

That's a lot of data. Most people and companies are not dealing with big data.

Kind of like everything being "blockchain" at one point. Eventually people realized that the word has a specific meaning that does not apply to many things..
What I like about the principles:
- ubiquitous language, close working between eng/experts

What I don't like about the details:
- categorising things as aggregates, entities, value objects, context boundaries

I understand why it might help to classify certain things but I also feel that some things don't fit well in that framework. For example, you might have an entity that is core between two aggregates and sits as bridge object e.g. at an edtech app, an exam instance (a sitting) would sit between two separate aggregates of (exam) and (products/store/ecommerce)
It's useful in so far as it makes people question themselves.

How fast can we perform a forward pass?
This sounds like “taint” in the M&A space. I’ve very limited experience of it and would be interested in hearing more from the better informed folks on this topic!

My limited experience: my then-employer opted not to acquire a company after doing due diligence. Ultimately we decided that the price of acquisition (both paid out, and also incurred in internal time) was below the cost of building a comparable product ourselves.

As the dev who did the tech portion of the due diligence I was now “tainted” by my knowledge of their system. As a result I could not work directly on the effort to build our own comparable solution.
EDIT: It is very bit unfortunate that my general/off-topic comment is currently the most upvoted. I was not commenting on the Linux integration specifically. I'm a _novice and hobbyist_ when it comes to Rust.

For example this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31849071 is much more interesting and on topic.

---

I want to provoke a little bit, but I'm genuinely curious about the following:

I feel like the Rust ecosystem is still quite immature in a lot of areas. Just a few indicators to illustrate what I mean:

- Both async/await and the question mark operator feel like rushed implementations, neither seem like the best long term solutions for Rust and are not in line with the otherwise solid foundation of the language.

- Open source code examples sometimes use an array of external dependencies that are unrelated to a given project and feel arbitrary. This reminds me of the JS ecosystem.

- Some projects pride themselves to not use "unsafe" code, including linking with battle tested C code, which seems like an arbitrary restriction that sounds better than it actually is. There is even an open source maintainer that got mobbed out from his own project because he used "unsafe" in places that others didn't agree with.

- Rust is fashionable. Putting "Rust" next to a HN title immediately gets clicks and upvotes. SO surveys and similar report high interest in the language. This is not an inherently bad thing, quite the opposite. But as a secondary effect it might detract from objective, technical decision making.

I really like the language, I have _way_ more good things to say about it than bad things. But am I alone in feeling like this? Other modern language communities come with a philosophy that promotes stability and simplicity. Is the Rust community riding on the merits of Rust's unique value proposition, while forgetting some important fundamentals?

Well look at what the worlds strongest man eats: https://www.businessinsider.com/brian-shaw-the-worlds-strong...

You would agree that that is mostly healthy food? And he is eating very large quantities of it. He is not fat, but people who do not do a lot of exercise could eat the same amount of food (or even half, he eats 12,000 calories a day) and gain quite a lot of weight.

Also a diet needs more than fruits and vegetables to be healthy at all.

I agree that there should be less focus on processed and fast foods, but that alone does not eliminate the problem of people eating a lot of food.
I could eat a big mac and medium fries for every meal and not gain a lot of weight (3x big mac (563 calories) = 1689 calories + 3* fries (333 calories) = 2688 calories. Which is around the 2500 calorie range for an adult man. That would in no way be healthy, but I would not gain weight quickly.
