You write about "massive cultural pressure to move to renewables" but what about all the money to be lost by the fossil fuel industry? Billions of € coming every year in deep pockets weight definitely more than the "pressure" of a Greta, a few Extinction Rebellion members and some ecologists/socialists.

Let's look at the UK, between 2000 to 2021 Source: https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-nuclear-output-falls... (3rd chart):

- renewables went from 3 to 40%

- imports: 3.6 to 7.6%

- nuclear: 22 to 14%

- oil & gaz: 40.1 to 39.7%

- coal: 31.7 to 1.9%

Looks like we managed to replace 40% of fossil fuels in two decades, without much inflation (almost in line with countries who did not deploy renewables):

UK electricity component of the consumer prices index (in real terms 2010=100): 68.1 to 128.2 (source https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...)

Can't find the exact same series for France but you can compare the two between 2010 and 2020 here and see a comparable trend: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/bookmark/d40f8154-...

We'll see how UK continues its transition, but I see renewables becoming cheaper while nuclear keeps rising. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinkley_Point_C_nuclear_power_...: "As of May 2022, the project is two years late and the expected cost is £25–26 billion,[2] 50% more than the original budget from 2016" Oops!

I'm going to make a bold prediction: no one will ever lose a copyright lawsuit due to usage of Github Copilot generated code. The code snippets it produces are too small or trivial to qualify for copyright infringement.
I don't get the comparison. This effort (by others' comments: a rearranging and editing of existing materials, with new illustrations?) with LOTR (a wholly original, although related, trilogy) gives me false from the areEqual() call.

There's a market. Fans will buy. Money is good. Some would say the repackaging is worth it. From an originality-perspective, others wouldn't -- still, more, considering its "timely" release.

If you are in that second camp, this is the very definition of a cash-grab.

I also wanted to change the font for txt files as well. I didn't have a computer at home and would print the txt version of Linux HOWTOs 2-up to save paper, but also wanted to save toner. I had very little CS training at that time, except for some rudimentary fortran. Learning Linux on my own was to become my CS university. I still have fond memories of poring over the ghostscript codebase.

Oh I see. What I'm looking for is the reason why they broke the reverse image search. It was working well many years ago but some time after that they switched it to some strange image classifier (I upload an image of an apple to find exactly the same image to track its license of origin, and it says "possibly an image of an apple" - oh thank you Google I didn't know that.)

It would be amusing to create a picture of the "stereotype" which would be a person with an absolutely massive laptop (nearly a luggable) and an itty bitty phone, among other things.
OPV was standard in the US until 2000, because Polio got close to being eradicated and OPV used to cause new infections where none existed anymore.

So they switched to IPV, which, even if it is not as effective as OPV, still offered some degree of protection, but did not cause new infections.

Sounds like an interesting tradeoff / balance act.

I've used Copilot for months and honestly it's become one of my most favorite inventions in all of programming- and this is key- even when it screws up (such as by suggesting Ruby-syntax code to autocomplete Elixir code). It tickles the "childlike joy" funnybone in me, the same one that got me into programming to begin with. I don't know how long it will take for typing "#ANSI yellow" (for example) and autocompleting to the right codes to get old, or every time it autocompletes anything considered "boilerplate," but it hasn't, yet!

You know, pretty much all of programming can be summed up as "tedious labor elimination," and this tool directs that same labor elimination at the work of programming itself (I no longer have to constantly google syntax idiosyncrasies etc.), and NOW coders are pissed? I don't get it. Eat your own dog food, people, because this is what it looks and tastes like.

As to the copyright infringement or licensing-violation claims, I have yet to see it autocomplete an entire algorithm correctly, or one copied verbatim from somewhere, although that could be mitigated. You still have to pay attention (kind of like Tesla autopilot), it's not going to eliminate your job.
1. No. Why?

2. It's in the user agreement

3. You weren't harmed in any practical way

4. It's not a real tool and nobody's using it in the long run

5. If GPL fans want to waste money on lawyers, focus on making the GPL have teeth

6. No, of course you don't get to impose a new license on your work retroactively
Is this a joke or did they just forget to provide a justification for _why_ 0ver should be used?
Copilot isn't automagically going to give you the windows XP source code tho, or anything even remotely close to a full project, it seems that even a full working/compiling function is asking too much.

It generates what a intern code monkey would generate after reading a few stack overflow posts and a few github repos.

Just to clear this up, since I’ve heard this a lot before:

> since it's GNU licensed, which by extension makes your entire project GNU licensed and you can't keep the exclusive rights to it

This is incorrect. Including GPL code in your product cannot automatically relicense your code. It’s just a copyright violation if your product’s license isn’t GPL-compatible and you don’t abide by the GPL.
The Rise of the Shipping Container
There's a world of difference between living in Russia and using Yandex to search for how to kill Putin and living in the west and using Yandex to search for how to spin up a FastAPI server.

By conflating those two clearly means you don't understand that everyone isn't in the same situation as yourself.
It's not gone. If you don't like the weird settings on the official servers, you can still play on high quality free servers with healthy populations, like UO Forever. These servers tend to have more old school settings to keep the game more like it was when it launched, introducing new content more carefully.

I agree that it's curious that newer games don't offer the sandbox model though. Instancing is so boring and UO's land ownership concept remains fairly unique.
DVC is great for tracking locally-stored data and artifacts generated in the course of a research project, and for sharing those artifacts across a team of collaborators (and/or future users).

However DVC is fundamentally limited because you can only have dependencies and outputs that are files on the filesystem. Theoretically they could start supporting pluggable non-file-but-file-like artifacts, but for now it's just a feature request and I don't know if it's on their roadmap at all.

This is fine, of course, but it kind of sucks for when your data is "big"-ish and you can't or don't want to keep it on your local machine, e.g. generating intermediate datasets that live in some kind of "scratch" workspace within your data lake/warehouse. You can use DBT for that in some cases, but that's not really what DBT is for and then you have two incompatibile workflow graphs within your project and a whole other set of CLI touch points and program semantics to learn.

The universal solution is something like Airflow, but it's way too verbose for use during a research project, and running it is way too complicated. It's an industrial-strength data engineering tool, not a research workflow-and-artifact-tracking tool.

I think my ideal tool would be "DVC, but pluggable/extensible with an Airflow-like API."

English has suffered the Great Vowel Shift, and has a wide variety of accents. It's a language that has the Spelling Bee, -teen/-ty numbers, -ough suffix, and "ghoti". There are many languages with much more regular, phonetic spelling and smaller variation of accents.
I like Rust and I'd love to see it in the Linux kernel, but not before the GCC+Rust issues are all fixed. You shouldn't need non-GCC compilers to compile Linux and from what I can tell there isn't any GCC Rust compiler that's fully equivalent to the standard Rust compiler just yet.

They say that Rust support is optional, but when the first big driver gets written in Rust it'll become mandatory. So either the Rust integration will fail and nothing important will get written in it, or it won't be optional. I'm not sure what comfort that's supposed to bring.

No one is complaining about copilot making programming easier or automating it.

We're upset because it's quite literally infringing on intellectual property. Infringing on intellectual property that's been set aside for the exclusive use of the commons.
You hook up a MEMS microphone and read the data (via I²S), encode it to mp3 and also to FFT data and stream the mp3 audio stream via UDP to a server, which can then be connected to via VLC player to play back that stream. The FFT data can also be streamed in a custom binary format, in order to have an real-time visual representation of the streamed mp3 audio.
Sure.

However, even if infringement occurs during machine learning, training AI with copyrighted works would likely be excused by the ‘fair use’ doctrine.[ii] For example, in Authors Guild v. Google, Inc.[iii], Google had scanned digital copies of books and established a publicly available search function. The plaintiffs alleged that this constituted infringement of copyrights. The Second Circuit held that Google’s works were non-infringing fair uses because the purpose of the copying was highly transformative, the public display of text was limited, and the revelations did not provide a significant market substitute for the protected aspects of the originals.
Samples are concentrated, then cultured in L20B (mouse cells with polio receptors added) and human rhabdosarcoma (RD) cells) to screen for either non-polio enteroviruses (very common). Samples which are L20B +ve (i.e. likely have polio) are then further passaged into RD for virus growth and RT-PCR to get the polio serotype and intratype.

Many places which have the resources will then do a full sequence on any +ve samples as well to determine whether there is community transmission since this will show up as a number of related viruses which are all related to each other more closely than they are to the parent strain.

London screening frequently sees unrelated OPV strains which are due to people who have recently been vaccinated with OPV in places where that is still the preferred vaccine, what is concerning here is that the deep sequencing shows that there appears to be some person to person spread of a vaccine derived strain.

To answer your question, this is a highly sensitive and extremely specific test. Details no doubt available in the open literature somewhere.
Yes, of course. I was just confused because it seemed like you were saying that even the new version of TLS was bad.
I agree on adding non native build rules, but once you get that over it is pretty epic.

Also, I don't think it's more complex than SBT/Gradle (what I was using before, but admittedly was a long time ago so I don't know now).
> Have you ever read GitHub's conditions to know whether they also have the right to use your code that way, no matter how you decide to license it? I feel that you are overly focused on the legal part here, which I'm sure was handled by Microsoft's lawyers. I'm more interested in the question of principle.

I have, and there is not. Neither could there be — in many cases the person uploading code to GitHub is not the copyright holder — they are just doing something permitted under the license — and for a large open source project there could be thousands of copyright holders. A random person mirroring some source code to GitHub is in no position to negotiate different license terms on behalf of the copyright holder(s).

> No matter what the terms of use at SO say, anyone can give you an answer that is a copy of some code they don't own. You may consider that immoral, but I don't, not at the scope SO is used for. In addition, the vast majority of cases at SO and Copilot are not about complex functions being stolen, it's about some dumb code you would have found in 2 minutes of googling. What I'm trying to argue here is that if we are all cool with SO and think it's useful, there is no fundamental difference here. We never cared too much about licenses for boilerplate code, and I think we shouldn't start now.

I don't understand why you think a person writing an answer on SO and a computer program outputting some permutation of its inputs into your editor are the same thing. The person writing an SO answer is intelligent and capable of conceptual understanding, the computer regurgitating code without regard to its license is not.
It became ubiquitous.

Now it is in many places. Enterprises use it each moment.

A laptop hard disk is now capable of holding databases with tens of millions of rows.

Traditional "Data Science" and modern Deep Learning rely entirely on it. Millions of datapoints are used to create models everyday.

A sensor on human wrist collects and stores thousands of data points each day.

So do refrigrators, cars, and your washing machine with ubiquity of IoT.

Giant tech cos use billions of rows each day to show users products, or sell their attention as products.

Big Data became ubiquitous. And it became so common that no nody calls it that anymore.

Tools like BigQuery, Dask, and even Pandas and SQL can handle hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions of rows (or other structure) with normal, regular programming, command, etc.
The Soviet Union did not start the war, and was not allied with Germany.

Germany quite clearly started the war with its invasion of Poland, and without that decision, there would have been no war.

They two countries had a non-aggression pact, and an agreement not to interfere with each other's spheres of influence. The Soviets knew full well that the Germans planned to invade the USSR, and the point of the non-aggression pact was to delay that invasion until the Red Army was capable of fighting a war.
They ditched the center reinforcement for a straight foam plate. The center reinforcement that was their entire reason for being popular for 25 years.

Just forcing them to record exactly where important files are saved and config files live has been hugely helpful. I like that it makes it easy to keep my config from being shit all over /etc with a thousand other files I will never want or need to touch, so my modifications to /etc on a typical server are small and tightly confined to a small number of files. What do I back up? It's right there in the "mounts" list. Have I backed up everything important? Add some dummy data, remove the image and do an "up" and if it still looks right, then yes, I have.

... and I don't have to re-learn any distro-specific config or packaging, for those dockerized services. Get it right once, and you're done.

Haha, that's actually one I run, and also one of the worst I've ever encountered.

Part of the trouble is that Gitea's config file, and documentation thereof, is kinda a damn mess.
>it attracts almost only PKs

This is it really. I've tried a few such games over the years and it felt like a majority of people were just trying to get powerful enough to kill & loot other players a little under their strength and then repeat the process to bootstrap themselves higher & higher. Players that want to play that way are attracted to such games, and they inevitably drive out players who want the balance shifted a little in the other direction.

I don't see how game design can easily shift this balance because it's more about attracting a different balance of players than in how you design the game itself.

Plenty of people cite their work and arguments in contentious discussions.
I think the average person living in today's world has it way better than 99% of humans in history, it's easily the best time to be alive. Infant mortality, life expectancy, chances of dying to violence or starvation or preventable disease, all kinds of gruesome things have drastically declined over the course of history and civilization. When else was it possible for most healthy people to live to 70, to travel the world a few times, and to live in relative peace and harmony?

And entertainment, joy in the arts, categories of aesthetics have vastly improved as well. Look at art and film and music in the past five hundred years. Look at the works of Bach and anyone before him, he's clearly the greatest musician known in the world up to 1750, and since him in just 275 years, we've had hundreds of phenomenal musicians that outrank any before Bach. This is one mere slice of culture which is evidence of the vast improvement in human capability in modern times.
