> Dont they usually change the recipes?

Sometimes. Sometimes it also might be a process change.

There is a desert people in Hungary quite like. It's basically a bar of cottage cheese coated in chocolate. [1]

One day the factory manufacturing it received a huge amount of inquires about a recipe change. The only problem was that they haven't changed anything. As far as they could tell everything was the same as it always used to be. But still there were a lot of very vocal costumers demanding the old taste so they went and investigated.

According to the story what happened is that the logistic provider improved the refrigeration in the supply chain. Because of the cottage cheese these deserts require refrigeration. Of course they were already using refrigerated trucks, but there was some transshipment centre where the refrigeration was missing or not very effective. And what changed is that they fixed that.

So basically the old taste, the one people demanded back, was the result of the cottage cheese just a tad bit bit ripe from the heat during transport.

nope. deno runs "fresh" web server that spits out html. you would need a vps for that, until some hosting providers don't include deno/fresh as supported(unlikely in near future).

For me big question, when cryptocurrency movement will lead to community driven mmg.

I participated in one uo group, we gather money, buy powerful server, paid for hosting. All this based on big enough group with positive economy.

Exist games which cheaper than uo in terms of need server power, but they are much less fun.

And spend much money to infrastructure, makes things very complicated, works as barrier to create such games.

I agree with you. But this is just not the sentiment of current society. It's called "victim blaming".
>Frankly, and I'm sorry to sound rude about this, you need to stop using a country as an argument for which you clearly have no idea what the political & societal conditions are.

I don't take this as rudeness but rather a result of a different worldview.

The disconnect you and I have is that you believe that wind/solar can replace fossil fuels. In a universe where that fact is true, the fact that wind/solar hasn't been rolled out would most likely be a result of bad government policy.

I don't believe wind/solar can replace fossil fuels. So the fact that wind/solar haven't succeeded in Germany is perfectly inline with expectations. It wouldn't matter what policies Germany put in, because it isn't possible for wind/solar to replace fossil fuels was never going to work. There was no policy that was going to change the reality of this.
It’s the verbatim replication of the comments that makes this a damning piece of evidence against the “it’s not copying code, it’s an AI” argument.
I think you might be missing the point of their frustration.

Lots of companies do not put their code in public repositories, granted I understand the perspective of violating a license, but the point is if you don’t want your code used by someone else (even with the risk of not getting credit, don’t know why that matters) then don’t make your repo public period.

To that point, what’s to stop GitHub from making a policy that states: “All public repositories will be utilized in AI training”?
>If Copilot does it for you, it's GitHub's/Microsoft's responsibility.

GitHub/Microsoft says that it's still your responsibility.

>You should take the same precautions as you would with any code you write that uses material you did not independently originate. These include rigorous testing, IP scanning, and checking for security vulnerabilities. You should make sure your IDE or editor does not automatically compile or run generated code before you review it.

I'm not really sure how am I supposed to go about validating that I can in fact use this code that the magical black box barfed into my IDE using a bunch of different weights.
Fair point, but you’ll still be bounded by disk read speed on an SSD. The access pattern itself matters less than the read cache being << the parameter set size.

I dunno - as a sysop I carried lots of usenet groups via the FidoNet gateways. This let myself and a lot of my callers participate in Internet content from the BBS side of things.

Was a crucial bridge until Internet access became a lot more ubiquitous. I also had the good fortune to be in some of the first neighborhoods to get broadband internet in the 90's - so yeah, once that happened the whole BBS thing dramatically dropped off. But you still had small topical based communities clustered around message boards - before the great consolidation onto these massive "social" media platforms. Bleh.

Apparently the Germans (from Bonn) can boast about the largest Amorphophallus: 3 meters high in 2003 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorphophallus_titanum#Descrip...).

I wonder if some botanical gardens also think about getting some carrion-eating flies and beetles (which are normally attracted to the flower and pollinate it) to make the experience more complete?
No, there are credible and quite horrifying reports[1]. Also some of the actual rapists were found out and victimes stepped forward. Please don't spew Russian propaganda.

They are not all "crackpots". Many environmentalists have come forward stressing the importance of walking back some of the verge-of-catastrophe alarms that have been pulled. (Shellenberger, Bjorn Lomborg, and one former Obama administration advisor, to name a few). They are not saying its a non-problem, but they are saying it's completely manageable without destroying civilisation by hiking the cost of energy.

These alarms bells have been pulled repeatedly over the past 50 years. Calls for imminent catastrophe in just 10 years if nothing is done. That was 20 years ago. At some point, you have to wonder just who is profiting off of your fears while flying around in their private jets. That should tell you something.

I would be interested to know how many people are actually using copilot to generate entire chunks of code that they don't understand. For me it's just autocomplete on steroids, its not answering any questions I don't know the answer to (other than syntax ive forgotten), it's just making the boilerplate faster to write so I can think about the actual problem I need to solve.
Except every one of these can be solved by eating less. That's it!
I skimmed. Little meat but lots of references to meat elsewhere.

Can somebody give me a nutshell of their method beyond "practice good epistemological hygiene"?
This is not the same at all. An equivalent would be if Steven King read a lot of other authors and then copied parts of their works into his own books for profit, even if they were changed slightly.
I can't imagine a scenario in which any lawyer would consider granting Github the right to "analyze" code anywhere close to granting Github the right to spit out that same code verbatim without your copyright notice (even if laundered by AI).
Russian company follows Russian propaganda rules, that's hardly news. It's pretty clear that concepts like "free press" and "freedom of information" aren't compatible with the Russian regime and expecting such features from a company operating mostly in Russia is kind of pointless. It should be obvious that anything Yandex (or any company targeting Russia, really) should be met with a good deal of scepticism. Companies like Yandex and Baidu can still deliver usable research, though, as long as you realise with what kind of perspective their code was written and their algorithm trained.

In a similar vain, Microsoft has censored "tank man" from their image search (and that of all their image search customers, such as DuckDuckGo). Google is a more transparent about their censorship, usually showing a link or explanation why they remove certain information at the bottom of the page, but it still reflects the values of western civilisation, for example by delisting Russian propaganda such as RT.

These biases are everywhere in all research into this field. The Russian situation is obviously worse than that in many other countries, but you should never forget the bias that AI models from free countries have been trained with either.

a very cool project they also maintain is a MySQL server framework for arbitrary backends (in Go): https://github.com/dolthub/go-mysql-server

They were vaccinated...
If you read the article, the headline is "Vaccine-derived poliovirus... detected"
When you take the oral polio vaccine, its a live virus and sometimes that virus can be spread. So in this case, someone who had likely recently been vaccinated via the oral vaccine used a toilet in London and the virus was detected in the sewers.

> even with the risk of not getting credit, don’t know why that matters

The point is that it’s not respecting the license, not just that it’s not giving “credit”. If I release code under a GPL license, I damn well don’t want someone using that code under a license that’s not GPL-compatible, no matter how it got there.

After I reached around 7-8k bookmarks the only thing that worked for me is an orgmode text file in a git repo, but it's true that I don't need fancy syncing or sharing/social features.
"Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were associated with an increased risk of serious adverse events of special interest, with an absolute risk increase of 10.1 and 15.1 per 10,000 vaccinated over placebo baselines of 17.6 and 42.2 (95% CI -0.4 to 20.6 and -3.6 to 33.8), respectively..."

So, I'm glad they're doing t his analysis, and we definitely should keep an eye on it, but for both vaccines the confidence intervals go on both sides of 0. In other words, there is a reasonable (few percent) chance that the vaccines might actually decrease the risk of 'serious adverse events of special interest'. More likely that it increases it, but 95% confidence intervals are not especially broad, and they include 0 for both vaccines.

Again, I'm glad they're checking all of this, but it doesn't look like much of a story, to me.
Ask HN: What Happened to Big Data?
There was a buzzword Big Data which regularly popped up in tech news. I haven’t seen the word used much lately. What advances are being made on it?

I imagine with various privacy scandals it fell out of favour since your data should be /your/ data only.

And many have talked about data being the ‘new oil’ when really it should be reframed as radioactive waste.

What happened to using this term to hype up your brand: ‘We use Big Data to infer information about how to improve and go forward’?

Was it just a hyped up buzzword?
DOLT vs DO-IT: https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?story=Do_It.txt
Yes, it is clearly copying code from Quake, I wasn't denying that.
I've understood that it's better e.g. for the soles of hiking boots if the boots are used somewhat regularly. Polyurethane degrades due to hydrolysis, and apparently using the shoes regularly (and letting them air and dry properly afterwards) reduces that. The movement and pressure help reduce moisture absorbed into the sole, or something.

It probably depends on the material of the sole, though.
Hm, you're suggesting that it ought to definitely be illegal if you sell the output of the chatbot trained on copyrighted material, but not if you give it away for free?

That is definitely not how US copyright law works (although you are welcome to argue that it should), that there is such a bright line around selling. It's possible for something to be a copyright violation even if you give it away for free (see torrent sites!), and it's possible for to qualify as fair use and not be a violation even if you sell it.

Under USA copyright law (others are similar but not quite the same), the first step would be deciding if the output of this chatbot counts as a "copy" or "derivative work" at all. If it does not, then there is no copyright violation whether you sell it or not. If it does, then it is a copyright violation (whether you sell it or not) unless it's use can count as "fair use". Whether the use is "commercial" is just part of one of four factors that are balanced to determine if it's fair use. For instance, if you are only using a tiny portion of the copyrighted work and it doesn't have much effect on the profits of the original copyright holder and the use is considered highly "transformative" too (sound like copilot?) -- it could well be fair use even if you are selling your output.

(Also... Github Copilot is literally selling it, right? You have to pay them to use Copilot! It would accordingly be considered a commercial use. If I make a copy of a hollywood movie and sell it to you, I'm probably violating copyright (unless I can convince a court it's fair use), regardless of what you do with it, it doesn't matter if you re-sell it or not. If you re-sell it or make another copy, you may be additionally violating copyright another time yourself.)

I do think there's a reasonable argument that copilot is fair use. It wouldn't mainly hinge on whether the output is sold or not. This is presumably the argument MS/Github would make if brought into court. Since Oracle v. Google, I've stopped trying to predict what courts will do on software-related copyright cases, the law seems to be pretty chaotic and the actions of courts unpredictable. (also i'm not a lawyer this is not legal advice).

In general, I am in favor of an expansive bounds of fair use, and think it serves "the people" to have such.

> Copilot just sells code other people wrote

So what? Selling code other people wrote is the foundation of the free software movement. It is the entire business model of countless companies, and it is a good thing. Among them are most major linux distro vendors like Red Hat and Canonical.

The value added by Copilot is that they sell you the lines "code other people wrote" you want out of billions.

I still think it is derivative work, and that they should only process code under permissive licenses, or, if they want to include GPL code, make a GPL-only version, usable only for GPL projects. I thought it is what they did, there is so much code under permissive licenses that is should be enough to train their model, but apparently, they don't care, as long as it is public, it is included. For me, they are shooting themselves in the foot, several companies have already banned Copilot due to the potential issues with copyright.

> the submission article is pretty obvious about that the timing is on purpose

The article doesn’t actually make that claim. “Conveniently timed” means it’s the author’s own opinion. Which is almost certainly just as good as yours or mine is.

It would be very different if the article claimed the book was developed alongside the series or anything like that.
This sounds similar to the Great Hanoi Rat Massacre (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Hanoi_Rat_Massacre) where people got paid per tail but ended up breeding more rats to get more tails.

Bison take much longer to have a calf (9.5 months + 7-8 months of nursing) and typically only have one calf per go around. Carp, on the other hand, produce about two million eggs per year. It's much easier to depopulate bison than invasive carp.
> Docker has two main components. The daemon (you can think of it somewhat like a server) and the client (application you use to run commands).

Is the daemon what they call the docker-engine? Is this what's available on Linux natively? Rootless makes sense here bc you wouldn't want one docker image able to interfere with another, or even the Linux system that is running the docker runtime/engine.

For Windows/Mac docker solutions, where does the daemon live/exist/run? Inside a virtualized Linux instance?

As I understand it, most of these alternatives to docker-desktop are all just wrappers around a virtualized Linux image running the docker engine/runtime. That's why many of them require a virtualization engine like Virtual Box. So are these no-commercial solutions just wrappers around one or more virtualized Linux runtimes where the docker engine/runtime is running natively?

If all the above is (approx) correct, then "what" is rootless with this announcement? The docker runtime/engine in the virtualized Linux instance?

I thought the docker engine/runtime on Linux was always able to run rootless docker images. So what is the news here if all these non-commercial solutions are just wrappers around the docker engine/runtime running in a virtualized Linux?
Uhh yeah they do. Maybe it's technically the GPs decision but I have watched GPs get their asses chewed by LPs and make a different call after those kinds of meetings.

More importantly literally all LPs have to do is not invest in the continuation fund. It costs them 0 money extra to close out their position in the old fund and leave. Continuation funds are 100% optional.

Also IMHO continuation funds can be useful if a PE firm thinks it has a real winner. It's harder than you think to find good places to place a lot of money so it will grow so I can understand why LPs might go for it in some cases.
"Unduly optimistic" might be not only more charitable but fairer.
