I was using that term kinda loosely, I didn't mean there's nothing subjective in a decision like that. I used objective to mean the POV of the whole company, and subjective to mean the views from within the departments. A salesperson says, "we need this feature because X", and a dev says, "we need k8s because Y", and someone outside those perspectives needs to decide whether X or Y is more urgent. That might happen collaboratively (all the leaders go to an offsite and come away with the same opinion) or combatively (they can't agree and the CEO has to make a tough call), and they might get it right or wrong, but they can't even attempt it if they're looking at things from the subjective view of one dept or the other.

So I was asking OP, how does that happen in a "democracy" company? Presumably the employees vote on it? And if Sales has more people than IT, wouldn't that mean that the company would invest more and more in Sales even when the problems of IT are more urgent?
I see. I thought you extended "inhumane practice" to the secretarial pool. What I don't understand is why people were afraid of typewriters before they were afraid of word processors and computers. They're frankly not that threatening.
This seems at odds with Stephen Colbert's famous quote "Reality has a well known liberal bias". Regardless, there isn't anything in MGTOW that indicates either left or right wing views as far as I can tell

True, They're usually due to issues with BGP routes.

It's common to see CF being the DNS/CDN for applications across AWS, GCP, Azure etc. So perhaps CF being down affects more applications than individual cloud platforms?
We can’t pay for anything that doesn’t have Jira integration, sorry!
I think the issue is not that it’s trained on open source code but that it’s trained on code whose licenses may not permit it. If you license your project in a permissive way then I don’t see a problem.
Isn’t there a link between muscle mass and hormone levels?
Ok I will add more context. This is what your phrase looks to me:

> If that’s paedophilia, then so be it

Or

> If that's organ trafficking, then so be it

There are things that are fundamentally wrong.

Slavery is one of them.

If you don't agree with this basic principle, I honestly don't want to bridge any gaps, I'd rather have a big gap actually.
It is completely different than using open source programs to make money. Many open source licenses explicitly require any derived work to maintain the copyright notice and a compatible license. If I use github copilot to create a derived work of something somebody else published on GitHub, I have no idea who wrote the upstream code or what license they made it available under. The defense for this is the claim that GitHub copilot doesn’t create a derived work, since the code it produces is very different than anything upstream (this is claimed in the original paper from openai). However, many people have found examples showing this to be a questionable or wishful-thinking claim.
I rather find it strange as here those subjects are covered in High School, to different depths depending where student is aiming at. This might be too early, but in general it opens up avenues to Universities or Applied Schools. Where goal is to teach focused things in certain fields.
This might sound like a product endorsement, and I suppose it is, but there are lots of ways to improve your balance, and this is only one of them:

The Bosu. A physical trainer showed it to me.

When you first get on it, you'll panic and probably fall off. But I found I improved pretty rapidly, and now I routinely stand on one leg and rotate side to side.

If you have a friend who also has one, you can throw the heavy ball back and forth to each other. Big fun. Do it on a soft surface so if you do fall you won't get hurt. Most likely, though, if you feel you're about to fall you'll probably just step off.
A critical part of product development (making a thing) and marketing (sharing a thing) is understanding your audience/market, both so that (1) you have a target for what to build and so (2) you can reach them/they can find you. This is why "personas" exist, which are reasonable guesses at first but are refined as you find product/market fit. Things made for "everybody" almost always turn out to be not interesting enough for anybody.
copilot also got its training sets for free and not really with any kind of consent from the owners of that code, and it's really quite ambiguous as to if what it's doing violates many different open source licenses of its training data

Microsoft is selling AI services based on training data they don't own and didn't acquire rights to, nobody writing the licenses of the code it's using had the opportunity to address this kind of code use without license, attribution, or consent. (and the training data is a huge part of the value of an AI product)
Yeah that just redirects me to the paid page. I do wish the criteria were a little more transparent.
I don't know much similarity there is between dementia and schizophrenia in terms of brain chemistry, but there's a lot of overlap of symptoms, and drugs can definitely trigger schizophrenia.
Except for Taiwan. The semiconductor dependency gives them security, because they are the ones depended on.
It's quite hilarious to see both the wide-eyed futurists and unabashed Luddites in this thread.
If the divide is not great, there's no reason why collective representation of employees would "distort market forces." If c-suite can represent themselves, no reason why engineering guilds shouldn't have the power to determine the outcome of their companies. Especially if the class divide is not as great, as you say, then the employees would have similar incentives to that of management.
Cynical part of me feels like Rust is about to go from the "I like this tech I've been following for years and really dig but can't get a job in it yet" to the "Everyone else has a job in it and claims senior status in it, but I can't" phase.

I've been down that road before.

Meanwhile there's a lot of immature pieces still. I was looking at SIMD support earlier today (thinking about porting an audio/DSP project from C++) and it's still early days. And Async is still half-baked as others have pointed out.

LOL. Well, colour me embarrassed.
That’s not a joke at all. It’s a very real thing which happened in an attempt to benefit Elon (and others in the industry) and him making light of it in a public way doesn’t make it better. It’s precisely the disgusting behavior we come to expect of plundering billionaires.
Assuming you're not joking, you would do this to get a quick and effective resolution.

What if there's no swap (as I believe is the current fashion in desktop envs, unlike servers)?
For urllib:

"urllib.request module uses HTTP/1.1 and includes a "Connection:close"
header in its HTTP requests"[1]

You seem to be correct about urllib3 and requests, I was wrong there...though they do have the dependency on urllib.
The title is technically correct but its second interpretation (the correct one) is not the most obvious one so it is misleading.
It's great when it works, and can also be costly when it doesn't or when you blindly trust it.
I'm generally a fan of unions, but the California trade unions I know of require new members start as apprentices even if they have the skills and decades of experience. That pay cut excludes a huge number of workers.

We need to keep in mind that unions are also organizations of people and have all of the flaws and selfishness that comes with it. A needed counter balance, but not a silver bullet.
Who are the idiots that view Google and Facebook as pro-FOSS? Did they somehow miss how Google is locking more and more OS functionality behind the Play store? Or Facebook's locked-tight Occulus?
Hey, fun side project!
Khronos Group has been good at writing standards but no so good at keeping up with developments in technology and not so good at getting standards adopted.

When I think of OpenGL these days for instance, I think about making apps for low end Android phones and maybe WebGL. In the wider world there is DirectX, Vulkan, CUDA, Metal, etc.

Intel has gotten behind OpenCL and called it OneAPI but they call it "One" because that's how many software developers are interested.

Thus this standardization process might not be the beginning of something but a very long end that drags on.
We use Maturin to build. You can either build manylinux / Windows / OSX wheels and upload them to PyPI / your preferred distribution method, or easier, use `maturin develop` to build and install a wheel into the currently-active virtualenv.
I did not want to fill up an entire article about the garbage collector problem, but rather just wanted to use it as a brief example to illustrate the thinking around trade-offs when it comes to features like it. It might make sense to write a separate article talking about why Hare takes a conservative approach to language design, but this was not the article for that topic.

> for example, you have to write a GC in some language and not the one that is GC'd

This is not true.
If law - the human language equivalent of programming - hasn’t gotten simpler in past thousands of years as new abstractions and complications have arisen, I hold no hope for programming.
JDK/Java is orders of magnitude easier to learn and work.

e.g., JDK debugging with hot-replace means you just fix errors, recompile, and continue the same debugging session. Run-everywhere means you share knowledge and libraries with 10-100X more people. Multi-language support and rapid iterations mean you get all the latest features.

Don't be confused by demo-ware that "just works". Most any domain is hard, and making initial steps easy usually means later you have to learn the real programming model underlying the simplicity-adapter layers, and work with multiple mental models.

That said, pick a domain and a community, and follow them, because they're unlikely to collectively pick the wrong platform.
I just tested it against a CSV file with newlines that were wrapped in double quotes and it worked correctly. I used this CSV file: https://til.simonwillison.net/tils/til.csv?_stream=on&_size=...

Pyochosis is not dementia. Very different things. But I hear what you're saying.
Yep. There has been some work to figure out frame-to-frame coherence on a sequence of images in 2D. But, I think this skips over that problem by working in 3D.
> People tend to use requests, which is better, but still doesn't support normal keep-alives, so it's a new connection per request.

Russia isn't going to start a nuclear war for a NATO flight over Ukraine. But they will try to shoot it down, and might succeed. At that point NATO might retaliate against air defense sites, and then the conflict escalates.
Oloid Surface
Agreed. At the very least, I was hoping they'd bundle it with the GitHub Pro subscription for individuals rather than as a separate product.
I'm not making an empirical claim here. I am trying to explain why their results do not imply that "training to balance on one leg" causes good health outcomes.

I'm saying that this experiment:

1. Does not define 'balance'

2. Does not show that the test they applied predicts or correlates with 'balance'

3. Does not show that 'balance' causes good health outcomes.
> "Cryptocurrency" was interesting, briefly, before the scams took it over. Now the interesting bits are buried too deep in scummy scams to be worth delving for.

The whole point of being an early stage investor is that you have to dig for the opportunities.

Here is what likely happens: A few cryptocurrencies become used or adopted by the public in some form. All the critics stomp their feet and say, "But a centralized database could do it better, faster, and cheaper! And better for the environment! This is 2026, technology is supposed to move in a direction that helps society! [Coughs in Google, Facebook, and Amazon]"

A few years later...

Ted: Where are you taking the kids?

Janet: Ted, I'm done with this! All you talk about is your hatred of crypto! You're always tweeting about it! What happened to our future?!
I order less from amazon because of the noise. Probably wouldn't if a kid got run over once, but if it happened multiple times that would be a problem. Nobody else uses the noise amazon does, and I don't hear about people being run over by delivery vans ever, so it doesn't really seem like an issue.
I'll start with a crude metric: Number of bubbles in the use-case diagram
When I reinstalled Docker recently, it tried to push Docker Desktop for Linux at me quite a bit, which was new from the last time I installed Docker.

In the end, I went and specifically hunted down Docker for use on servers to get an installation without all the Desktop cruft - even on that page [0] there's a big thing advertising Docker Desktop for Linux.

No more than the suggestions on your phone for the next word replaces you as a friend to talk to. It is sometimes right as to the next word to use and sometimes can make comprehensible sentences, but it is still very incapable of doing anything all that useful.
The fact that there are almost 60K patents should tell you it's not an unexplored space.
Yes, but that's a perfect illustration for one of copilot's essential flaws: "a lot of flies eat poop" (side note: is that actually a saying? Asking because in German it is, and it fits perfectly here).

A lot of code is of mediocre quality. An ML service that learns from huge amounts of code without an ability to tell "good" code from "bad" code will only ever be able to produce mediocre code, at best.
So different from big-auto creating cars and scaring the horses. Or big-electricity burning the city down with their wires all over the place.

Depends on your budget of course, but I don't think it's worth $10/month. I pay just a little bit more than that for an entire IDE. The problem with Copilot is that it's USEFUL for boilerplate code and when you need a lot of copypaste "coding" (think APIs, controllers, etc... basically shifting data around the place), but any time you need to actually code something with some actual algorithmic logic behind it, it's little more than a distraction, and often even a really problematic one, because if you let it, it will happily suggest things that look OK on the surface, but are almost always (and I really mean most of the time) wrong, buggy or otherwise incomplete. You can't realy on it. It's like a kid (I wanted to say a "junior programmer", but it's not anywhere near that level) you can offload some chores to, but you always have to check on it and what it actually does. Fine if all you need is to wash the dishes... more than that and you're asking for trouble.

When I'm in the flow, trying to solve some algorithmic problem, I always turn it off because the BS suggestions coming from its little "mind" actually slow me down and mess with my focus. Which all makes sense when you realize what it ultimately is - a philosopher, as opposed to a mathematician.
Maritime Traffic Around the World
Having used it quite a lot I'm not sure it does save me $10 of time per month. At least as often that it generates usefully correct code it generates correct appearing but actually totally wrong code that I have to carefully check and/or debug.

It's quite nice not to have to type generic boilerplate in sometimes I guess but it's very frustrating when it generates junk.

A year old post now, YMMV.
Yep. The only reason it hasn't been utterly dogpiled by lawyers is that far fewer people care about code than other forms of IP. If I made an AI assistant called PhotoStar to help with digital art and it just attaches Big Bird's face onto a character in my children's book I'm going to get sued. "Hey now, I just hit paste, the software pressed copy by itself" is not going to hold up.
Anyone else using Copilot just as a glorified copy&paste helper? It’s great for repetitive tasks, but I’ve yet to encounter a situation where it really helped me to write meaningful code. At least I’d expect it to work together with intellisense, so it does not propose stuff that will get a red underline right away.
And there's the horrible neologism "internet" as a noun -- ugh! Even blessed by some style guides.
“I don't want to seem harsh, but I challenge non-believers to give Avo an hour of their time to see how it's different.

While this is great, Google's decision to (at least for the foreseeable future) not release this for anyone to use makes it a bit moot. Like, it's good to know it exists, but if no one can ever use it, DALL-E 2 is still the king.

Yes. Even if it may be permitted under some licenses, training models off millions of developers' code and capitalizing on those models goes against the spirit of open source software. I'd expect nothing less from Microsoft.

Oh, they don't do that? Its about... the money? Yep.
I’ve played around with some toy kernel stuff on RISC-V - SBI is refreshingly simple.
IMO the solution to YAML-as-config is a strict subset of YAML.

JSON is one strict subset, but one that makes smart trade-offs for strictness and machines like error detection and syntax-typed types.

We decided on a different subset of YAML for our users that were modifying config by hand (even more strict than StrictYAML). Some of the biggest features of YAML are that there is no syntax typing, and collection syntax is simple (e.g. also true for JSON, false for TOML).

For example, a string and a number look the same. This seems bad to us developers at first, but the user doesn't have to waste 20 min chasing down an unmatched quote when modifying config in a <textarea>. Beyond that, it's the same amount of work as making sure the JSON is `"age": 20` instead of `"age": "20"`, one just has noisier syntax.

I think the StrictYAML docs have a great breakdown of the advantages: https://hitchdev.com/strictyaml/why-not/

We decided against TOML because nesting is too confusing. https://github.com/toml-lang/toml/issues/846
The free thing for (a few) open-source maintainers seems needlessly complicated... Who should qualify is non-transparent. They'd have been better off just charging everyone for it. Not an instant buy for me for the moment. Often it works well, but it also frequently takes time to correct/sort-out the suggestions. It might in fact be making me dumber as I wait for a suggestion rather than thinking it out.

I get the feeling this is a “fuck it” exit. They don’t appear to have fallen out with the rest of management, since the two would basically control the corporate direction, and if they were disagreeing with each other then why would both leave since the company would likely side with one and the other would leave.

I can imagine they got sick of fighting for their company against the ongoing campaign to make them
Pay for their past transgressions. It’s kinda hard to really sum up the whole situation now, you have spineless credit card processing companies, duopolistic credit card companies, religious anti-porn activists, feminist anti-porn activists, porn industry advocates, individual porn performers (“amateurs” ), the traditional porn studios, the end user customers, and the news media … all in one huge pot stewing over complex issues that most people don’t really bother digging into. Yes they did bad things, but they also weren’t as bad as some were painting them, and they also destroyed a chunk of the entire porn industry in one fell swoop as a knee jerk reaction to frantically damage control an issue that was primarily pushed by a smear campaign by a religiously funded group that wants to end all porn… they were an easy target due to social stigmas and they basically had a near lethal blow dealt to them, which had knock on effects to the entire industry they were the dominant player in.

It’s not a great situation and I don’t blame them for want the hell out of it. I’d probably have burned out too.
