> Don’t “claim” issues or ask whether someone is already working on an issue. Instead, focus on creating a pull request which solves the issue. Once you create a pull request we can assign your account to the issue to ensure others don’t start working on it in parallel.

Having maintained popular OSS software in the past, this sounds problematic. I know “claiming” doesn’t work, people will regularly “claim” and issue then not be heard from ever again. But PR-to-claim sounds iffy, especially when money is involved. Failure modes I envision include people putting up low effort PR’s to lock the issue, then either wasting a bunch of maintainer time on reviews or getting into IP debates with people who later on create a proper PR that maybe includes a bit of the same routines.

Perhaps if the PR author would stake cash that the maintainer/reviewer would receive upon review?

The third party pr authors are asking for the other party to do work just as much as the maintainers are.
In Neovim it's just ":Copilot disable", ":Copilot enable".
Discharging a firearm into the air is a felony in California.
Which is unfortunately normalized at this point. It's like self-driving cars. A self-driving Waymo gets into a single accident and it's frontpage news and people are asking if we need them without thinking about the 50 other accidents from human drivers within a 10 mile radius that same day. All because the latter is normalized.

If it survives long enough, accidents from drone deliveries will become normalized too. But they have a long way to go before the public gives them that benefit of the doubt.
Motherboard firmware usually exceeds to size of the Linux kernel it's loading.

I have found that LinkedIn gives you back, what you put in.

My content gets WAY more reach when I spend 30 minutes per day engaging on my newsfeed, engaging on the comments my content got from previous days, and in general building relationships that compels folks to engage with my future content.

The opposite is true, when I stop engaging with my feed, and the comments on my content, my reach will maintain for a few weeks, but after a month it falls through the floor.
It's the same in europe. I know semi-professional or professional dishwashers are sometimes connected to both hot and cold inputs, not sure whether that is the case for washing machines though I wouldn't be shocked.
I’m especially curious about this if it trains on GPLv3 and AGPL licensed code.
The VSCode extension has one. There's a button in the bottom right with the logo that you can click to enable/disable, or you could add a keybind for the "github.copilot.toggleCopilot" command
I remember reading something like this just before somebody proved that it would recite Carmack's square root algorithm word for word.
Really? So the only people who should be able to go to Ivy League schools are those poor enough to get aid and those rich enough to pay for the entire fee? We shouldn't be evaluating our youth on their merit? What kind of solution is that?

Great way to make sure that the children of the professional class of people who make that sort of money (lawyers, engineers, nurses) not work as hard as possible and use their upbringing to contribute to the future of the country. Putrid take.
I love The Planets so much I have several versions of it, including Tomita's electronic interpretation of it. I've never noticed a similarity to the Star Wars theme, I'll have to listen again with that in mind!
I don’t mind the cost although I do wish it was a single charge along with my existing GH subscription instead of separate ones. Seems like a missed opportunity to bundle things.

I don’t care about getting a discount, just dislike being billed on two different billing cycles and it seems like a missed opportunity for them to get more devs on their paid tier.
It's my experience too. It's a fancy autocomplete that works about 30% of the time for me, I'm not actually sure I'm saving time by using it.
Google’s Imagen AI: Outrageously Good! [Two Minute Papers]
Indeed. Pointing it out to them is difficult. I have experience doing it in other contexts. The jury is still out on whether it's successful or not. :-/
I've enjoyed using it for free, but not sure it's worth the $10/mo yet. When it works great, it's a nice-to-have for speeding up development but has yet to give me anything I wouldn't be able to just write myself. And when I wish it would give me the answer to something I don't know how to do, it spits out something very wrong.

Also feels kind of icky to train on open source projects and then charge for the output.
I don't think the parent was criticizing Co-pilot. The point was that codebases that need a lot of boiler plate and predictable code are not fun to work with.
Anarchy is a likelier future for the west than tyranny
As someone who doesn't feel a particular attachment to popular culture (I don't hate pop music, I love a good hook, but I don't always find popularity to be a good signal for anything) articles like this are strange to me.

In some ways, I think popularity in art is a signal of mediocrity. I like the Beatles fine, and sure I see the genius, but the music is also very inoffensive. But yeah, like many have said. New 'Classical' music just isn't going to find an audience. It's either too polarizing or not for the 'kids these days' But with the overwhelming quantity of music available, niche music is great. I love Steve Reich, I imagine my dad would hate it.

It's also an amusing trope in depictions of brooding artists that popularity cheapens a work. I guess I just think social acceptance or virality is a weird measure of the quality of a work, even though in some ways it's all we have.
That’s what I get for not verifying headlines.

Prime Video has a Watch Party mode. There are also 3rd party options for Netflix. If the people you want to hang with are tech literate you can host a discord server and stream video in a voice channel.
A few pages down is the answer to what (hopefully) many are wondering:

"Here's how we've designed the pilot study:

Even if the model was FOSS, the infrastructure needed to run it would be costly.

Given the cost of single GPT-3 codex query, it's very likely that Microsoft/Github is still taking a huge operating loss at 10USD per month.
This is no small achievement, and it's a nice article. But the word "extinction" in the original article's title is incorrect. This was a local extinction, solved in part by a captive breeding program.

This is not a story about bringing a truly extinct species back to life.
However, in praxis, not every participant in an economic system is a perfect player in the sense of game theory. Take for instance the history of the London Underground and its rivaling companies and directors. There are several instances, where a player maintained a position detrimental both to their own economy (as in profits and strategic position) and to the entire system (as in gains that may be secured in the future), as other motives take over. (E.g., hurting another player gains top priority, even if the damages inflicted to the respective own position exceeds the damages inflicted to the competing player. Even to the extent of losing that position altogether, as in being fired as the director.) Notably, this was a system with multiple controlling parties, as directors and boards, acts of parliament, financiers, etc, still, this couldn't stop this kind of behavior. (E.g., blocking closing the circle line is a prime example.)
My big issue, and friction generator is that Linux - as a desktop - is always a year or more behind consumer hardware, and it unfortunately perpetually struggles with drivers.

Last time I tried Linux, driver support for my new graphics card was poor, my multi-monitor displayport setup was unsupported, DPI scaling - despite even Windows supporting it well for the previous 5 years - was quite bad (and non-integer scaling especially so). Even my CPU simply didn't work without some custom boot args.

So when it comes to "just works", the year of the linux desktop is here if your hardware is at least 2 years old. There's nothing wrong with 2-year-old hardware, but whenever I get a new computer, I install Windows and it just works, rarely do I ever have a good enough reason to switch to Linux given the effort involved.
Eh. I might use it if my employer obtained it for me, but I'm not gonna go out of my way to pay $10 to Microsoft for it.

I'm also still skeptical about the legal aspects of it. Microsoft says that training the model is fair use. Good for them, but that's not applicable to me in any way.
Anecdotally: after being sedentary for 35-40 years and having both hips replaced in their early 70s, health quality in one of my parents had degraded such by the time they were 85 that I suggested a mild fitness program of walking 3/4 of a mile each day. Exercise regimes get no milder than that.
Improvements in day to day energy and balance, A1c, frailty and sleep quality were so markedly improved after just one month that it became the source of motivation. 7 years later, when weather prevents their daily walk, the difference is obvious to them.
Advanced aging is learned helplessness. Exercise can make a difference at any age and is the natural offset to that depressive, learned helplessness of aging.
As the saying goes: Exercise is its own reward.
Each of the territories have slightly different statuses.

This is in no way a relevant good-faith reply. It is spam. A web-based cloud-based data analytics platform isn't in the same category as piping command-line programs together.
Yes, certainly! And those multiple tables can come from different data sources, so files or databases.
Very bad news. Every drone I see is a reminder that other people can afford houses and I never will. I will be picking up a BB gun or slingshot soon.
Ask HN: How can I delete a fake LinkedIn profile?

Technically anyone could use those same open source projects and provide an open source solution, or paid solution as well. I do feel how you feel though it's a little off-putting.

Lenovo and Barcelona Supercomputing Center sign joint research deal
I’m sure at the end of the day that would be the case in most sane legal systems. However, it does seem almost impractical in reality for anyone to do anything about it (kind of like Uber/Lyft/Airbnb making something so commonplace so quickly that the regulations they broke became meaningless).
> the rare instances

That's a bold statement considering how easy it was for testers to quickly find examples of this in initial testing.

> against public code on GitHub

... and how some of those examples found were from code not hosted on Github.

Ultimately though, what matters here is not whether this is true but whether it's plausible enough for legal departments in companies buy it.

Matches my experience. I legitimately like it for quick boiler plates; it's like a better snippet engine. But Paying for it...
One of the main reasons it went through is because there was 'only' one losing party - the hacker, and multiple winning parties (developers and investors in the DAO). A couple years later when the parity mutlisig was hacked such that the funds (150K eth from an ICO) were 'permanently locked', the proposal to unlock the funds via hardfork was rejected. More or less specifically because it would only benefit a very small subset of parties, while leaving the frozen funds in place meant the rest of the chain benefited from the effective reduction of eth supply. Since then no one else has seriously proposed forks to move funds out of protocol.
The build tools are provided for free. You don’t need to jump through these hoops.
Low energy people are inherently boring. The vast majority of people would rather have a SO with some sort of interest than someone who just sits around passing time while the world moves on without them. Most folks require the freedom to be alone at times for their own sanity's sake. Being a complete homebody who does nothing but sit at home all the time deprives both parties independence of action and thought. It's not healthy.

Completely gratuitous comment, but thanks for this. I'm in tears.
"On
October 25, 2021, a vulnerability in all prior versions of Geth was discovered that permitted
a carefully crafted peer-to-peer message to inflict a denial-of-service attack on the receiving
node.
42 From our crawls of the Bitcoin network, we observe that 21% of Bitcoin nodes are
running an old version of the Bitcoin Core client that is known to be vulnerable."

The beginning of this excerpt is talking about Geth, and how unpatched Geth resulted in a fork of Ethereum. Then, out of nowhere they indicated 21% of Bitcoin nodes are vulnerable and running an old version of the bitcoin core client, and they bold it. They didn't say anything about this vulnerability in the preceding paragraph. Vulnerable to what? Certainly not vulnerable to the same thing that Geth exploit took advantage of.
The machine learning models are not open source themselves, so you can't just do this yourself with existing open source projects.
I'd be super interested in understanding what this means concretely. For example, are we talking about reverting commits? If so, why were engineers reverting reverts?
This is curious - I maintain 2 projects with 2k cumulative stars, and I was able to claim the free access. Wonder what the metric is? Maybe creation date has something to do with it?

Not unless it is continued later into life. I am experiencing early onset osteoporosis and I spent my late 20's and 30's lifting weights (C&J, squats, DLs, etc). I was told that these kinds of exercises will increase bone density in certain bones, but unless that is continued, bones revert to a "normal" state (as defined by your body, not a population), until loss begins in older age. Just like muscles I guess: they shrink back to "normal" if you don't constantly work them. (E.g., ever take 4-5 months off from lifting and notice how your gains evaporate?)
Honestly if it had happened enough, yes, the metaphorical knives would be drawn by some politicians seeking to capitalize on it for their gain.

This is always what happens. Combine it with a new thing no one really seems to want and a dead kid? What do you think would happen?
When I try and sign up for it, I am presented with a "Confirm Payment Details" screen with no way to proceed.

Coreboot would overlap, role-wise, with SBI.

I use uptimerobot to monitor a lot of endpoints that I depend upon but don't really control. Been burned by first party status pages way too many times.
Huh, I've never heard any synthetic horns that could "talk" like Herb Alpert. I played a trumpet as a kid, failed miserably at it, but came away with a great appreciation for people who could do it well. And Alpert is as good as it gets. He does far, far more than just play notes. He did pop music - chart toppers for all his albums.
That's true, but it would be much more fun to get your own drone and program it to chase them.

Death certificates don’t say “died from a fall” but many many people do. Breaking a hip is the beginning of the end for most people.

My sister is a nurse and told me that we SAY "fell and broke a hip" but ACTUALLY it was "broke a hip and then fell". You can tell that from where the break was, and once the hip breaks you are guaranteed to fall.

The cause of hearing this was that my mother had exactly this accident, broke her hip them fell. In the hospital she got some serious drugs, and this triggered severe dementia for the rest of her life.
I've seen many many scripts that ignore STDERR and just print everything normally.
My secret wish is that Zuck has a come to Jesus moment and ditches the creepy adtech business in favour of building real hardware and software that delivers real value to people allowing them to socialize with people around the world. I feel like they’ve taken the first few steps in that direction but I’m very worried that they will just keep selling attention and data out of greed and inertia.
Looks super-cool, would love to try it. However...

The fact that GitHub is now charging for this feature smells like a lawsuit waiting to happen. They're now literally profiting from potentially stolen GPL code.
As someone who grew up in a city and has always lived in a traditional house among other houses, moving to a sparse area with some land has really underscored how humans really are stewards of the land around them. I wish more people in a city environment could interact with a more natural world on a daily basis to better understand the balance we are a part of.

Yep.

I have a bunch of Milwaukee M18 Fuel tools, because I apparently gotta catch ‘em all. I find that I very rarely use the hammer drill. All of my drill bits are hex shank, so I just chuck them into my hex driver. It’s way faster and “good enough” for almost all use cases.

Shooting at them has the risk of law enforcement action (destroying property, unlawful discharge of a weapon, reckless endangerment).

Electronic interference runs the risk of FCC attention.

But passive barriers (nets that are invisible to the drones' sensors) - now that doesn't have an obvious risk. They don't even have to destroy the drone: "Here, Amazon, this one seems to have something wrong with it!"
> Can you reproduce the opportunities university gives you on your own? Yes, but it's very difficult.

No, not with Covid. Without in-person classes, you don't meet anybody and you don't learn anything more than with a $2.50 in late fees at a library, what Good Will Hunting talked about.

Most right-wing movements of which I am aware would definitely like to be seen as apolitical (and thus reduce the critical eye aimed at them). But the line you can draw from there (and similarly from "apolitical" rage-movements like GamerGate) to the current state of things is a straight one.
It goes on to say "Simply visit the GitHub Copilot subscription page to see if you are one of the open source maintainers that meet our criteria for a complimentary subscription"

When I go to https://github.com/github-copilot/free_signup it says:

" Congratulations! You are eligible to use GitHub Copilot for free.

Thanks for being a part of our open source and education communities. GitHub Copilot uses the Codex AI model to offer coding suggestions."

I have a project with about 3k stars, and regularly contribute to another project ~4k stars (Where I'm also the primary maintainer, although it's not on my account), as well as some things in with hundred and dozens of stars.

I don't how high up that is in the ranking, although given that most projects get 0 stars I suspect it's probably higher than you'd might expect.
Has anyone been able to sign up since this announcement?

I get to a "Confirm your payment details" screen, but there is no further action I can take (ie: no button to press or link to click to "confirm"). It does say "You will be billed $100/year starting August 20, 2022" -- but when I view my "settings", it tells me I haven't signed up for copilot.

I tried various browsers, including Edge on Windows 10 sans plugins (the combination I would expect to be the most supported for MS owned github.com).

Chen if you can find it for sure.

The body mechanics of Chen is more obsessed with avoiding locked joints, and when I see videos of people who make me want to complain, it’s either Yang or someone who has split off from Chen more recently.

The legend of Yang Style is that it was started by one of the first outsiders ever allowed to study at Chen village. As with most things Eastern, the early expats we’nt always representative of the way things were done back in China.

You’re right about the sweat. It’s as hard a workout as you make it. My sifu joked once, “this is difficult at the beginning but don’t worry, as you progress it will get harder.” The interesting thing is laugh response. When you don’t know how on earth you’re going to hold this pose, people end up laughing nervously.

Pro tips for anyone thinking of dropping into a class: I highly, highly recommend starting the next morning with as vigorous a walk as you can manage. Even a brief power walk will blow a lot of the lactic acid out of muscles you aren’t used to using. And you are going to fart. Everyone goes through it at first. You are going to engage your core in ways you never have before, and some of that pressure is going to escape. Maybe avoid spicy foods the day before though.
