All SO questions, answers and comments are CC BY-SA. The terms of the site say that anyone submitting this content agrees that it's licensed that way, and when you visit the site you agree that you are provided with the content under that license. It's not necessary for you to check whether the submitter had the right to offer it under that license; that's their problem. The same goes for any content offered to you under a given license on any platform. I don't understand what your question has to do with the conversation.

The problem with Copilot, and I really can't believe this has to be restated over and over again, is that it takes code from projects with various licenses, and outputs it in your editor in various transformed-or-not-transformed ways (the fact that the transformation is extremely complex doesn't change anything), and gives you no way to know where the code came from, how it was licensed or how it has been transformed. So, despite the fact that if you use it enough you are virtually guaranteed to use code in contravention of its license, you cannot even know which projects you have stolen code from or which licenses' terms you are breaking.

> Also, please consider that there is a toggle that allows you to block Copilot from using public code.

Great. I'm sure its utility doesn't go down at all if you turn that toggle off...
It’s best to just avoid the political threads. They are of no value.

No, that's the one, what I mean is that this isn't the old context menu but the "move here" mini context menu. It doesn't have everything like rename, properties, etc. so it's not a workaround for "show more options" for things that aren't 7-zip.
The comment I was replying to already did a good job at that, I was just adding some context because it helps explain the attitude.

The way I look at it, if someone believes they are liberal, they are.

If they believe they are not, they are non-liberal.

I left if vague enough to leave it up to the individuals to chime in as they see fit.

But if YOU need a definition, this is the most objective definition that I can think of right now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism

I think it helps that we're often familiar with the song from heavily-comically-accented Looney Tunes characters and the like, so it already sounds exaggerated and ridiculous, and the alternative words make it sound like an even more ludicrous drawl not too unlike Mel Blanc. Not being able to mentally hear it sung cartoonishly while reading would probably take away some of the effect.

Say what you want, most people in Eastern Europe, Ukraine and even lots of people in Russia would prefer to be under protection of NATO.

If it were not for NATO, Russian rapists would already be in Tallinn, Vilnius, Helsinki. Claiming they were offended by historical injustices therefore women should be raped and men shot dead ("denazified").
I haven't thought about it in years... but is Delicious still a thing? I would think (hope?) there would be an open source, PHP-based project I could throw onto commodity hosting to collect and manage bookmarks. If this doesn't exist it should -- and I wonder how hard it would be to also integrate saving/sharing tab-sets as well.
Obviously you have a much stronger opinion on that than I do, but at the very least, sanctions should deter other countries from acting in a similar fashion. For example, if — hypothetically — China is considering invading Taiwan, they will have to factor in that the Western world will stop doing business with them. If the West hadn’t put sanctions in place for Russia, that would lessen the concern for China. Maybe you think that isn’t worth it — that’s a valid personal judgement of course.

Rising rates is actually the typical NIMBYs worst nightmare.

Around 1/3rd of all Americans are over the age of 55 [0], and of those Americans around 75% of them own property [1]. They vote consistently, and tend to favor short term policies which aim for boosted asset prices (as they near retirement) [2] and support for medicare (same reason).

The median baby boomer has ~200k in savings [3], so of course housing value has been collectively used as an investment to shore up their futures thru NIMBY political action. Since the boomers had relatively few children they need to rely on other people's children to maintain their lifestyles - i.e. have enough money to pay people.

Unfortunately the demographic reversal we are experiencing means there will be ever more money chasing fewer people and barring some major productivity gain they will suffer regardless.

As the fed continues to raise rates due to rising costs cause by the above, expect to see desperate people vote in politicians willing to abandon the independent fed and drop rates to 0 so they can maintain their lifestyles. They will also desperately avoid medicare for all style health changes to avoid losing out on the health dollars aimed only at them, extracted mostly by working Americans.

From each according to their ability, and to each according to their need after all!

> In C++ "dropping" ownership as you describe is no big deal, the C++ design doesn't care, but in Rust if you actually drop(foo) it's gone

I think you’ve built a straw man of my argument and then argued with that.

Clearly I meant that it seems possible that a sufficient complicated call stack could still be set up to jump between needing the owned String type and the borrowed &str type. That’s what I meant by dropping ownership as that’s what’s happening in the c++ code when you go between char*/string (the API is dropping its need for ownership). The argument of “ If you've got the owned String, and I needed an owned String, I should ask for your owned String, and we're done” is weak because that same argument would apply to C++ code and yet the code still ended up that way when you pasted together components in a very large code base. Now maybe it’s a bit simpler because you have string, string&, const string&, and const char* and doing that antipattern that happened in C++ just wouldn’t be ergonomic in Rust. Maybe. But that feels like a very thin argument and not “this is impossible in Rust”.
My daughter once said she wasn't sure if she wanted to have kids. I told her she's the end result of an unbroken chain of 4 billion years of successful reproduction, with zero failures, and it would be a shame to break it now. No pressure.
“Wake up” is a stretch, we have no idea what is going on here. Would be good to see how people’s circadian rhythms and sleep quality affected this process, maybe the cancer cells are being disposed of by the body during sleep and that process is disregulated. Fascinating research but I think getting to any real understanding from this is a way off.

Pinboard is still quite active. If you need proof just go to /recent which is a live firehose and interesting to see what people are bookmarking. I use Pinboard and regularly export my bookmarks incase their servers are hacked/wiped/corrupted.
Do you want cheap price or smart people?

Coming from eastern europe, such sweatshops usually pay local salaries and attract junior people. If you have experience and ain't afraid of talking to clients... You cut the middleman and work with foreign clients directly.
That sounds frustrating, however easy_install hasn't been relevant for years, and obviously 2.x is EoL. Anaconda is generally better for beginners since it manages basically everything for you. Hardly a disaster.

You basically need NPM if you want to work with any kind of libraries, and I'd say the Anaconda system comes with way more ergonomics out of the box, so that's more or less a wash.
I think you’re missing that the commenter was talking about Israeli settlers rather than Israelis in general? The settlers are controversial because they live in areas Israel occupied during the 6 day war in 1967. Much of the world considers their presence illegal, though Israel disputes that. Many, if not most, would consider living in these settlements a deliberate political provocation.

*edit: you hadn’t posted your edit yet. I have no idea if the allegation is truthful.

"The past is a lost golden age" has historically been a really common trope. Like, not just in fiction; people really believed in it.
> "Moreover, open source developers are already suffering burnouts because of gigantic multi-billion dollar corporations taking their free code and re-bundling it as a SaaS, hence, introducing this new feature takes even more from them than there was before."

The popular open source licenses explicitly give permission for people to resell your work, it's not even buried in the small print or anything. e.g.

GPL: "Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish)".

MIT License: "including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software".

Apache License: "each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work".

This should no more cause burnout than someone buying your old car and using it for an endurance race makes you tired. Where there's burnout involved it's more likely the demands for support and fixes that head back upstream without any associated money. More concerning is Copilot trained on code which isn't GPL licensed or similar. Sharing code doesn't automatically grant anyone any license to use it for anything at all.
Reality really doesn't care though.
I work primarily with optimizations and depending on context I will express them in how much time it shaves off one iteration ("this saves 1 ms!"), the change in frame rate ("went from 20-22 fps to a stable 26 fps"), or the ratio between before and after ("it's twice as fast", "only takes one third of the time it used to!", ...)
KeePassXC

I used to use KeePass, but switched to KeePassXC when I discovered that XC had all the features that I needed, but without using plugins. Setting up XC and maintaining it is much easier versus KeePass + 3 plugins.
IIRC it was mostly from groups like Getty images. They and other image licensing companies didn't want google showing their images in search results. They claimed it was copyright infringement and given the absolute state of IP law in the US they could have made Google's life very difficult.
Pinboard bought del.icio.us
Thats... actually a pretty good counterpoint.

Altough google suing for youtube videos is somewhat different to disney with SW as google doesnt have an exclusive license on those.

But yeah, you changed my kind on that one.
Great Latin name: Amorphophallus titanium: "giant misshapen phallus"

Perhaps I do not have the details correct, but I was told this story: Kew Gardens had one of these flower in their greenhouse many years ago, when they were very unusual in "captivity". Another botanical garden (perhaps the one in St. Louis) subsequently was able to get one to flower, and the bloom was quite a bit larger. They printed up T-shirts that said "My Amorphophallus is bigger than yours"
We should talk to people before deciding what they believe; instead of assigning them positions based on prejudiced notions of what we're told they stand for.

For example one person I know describes themselves as a "reactionary Democrat: anything the Republicans are for, I'm against!" This person could be presumed (for example) to support $15/hr minimum wage; but as it turns out the reality is they prefer to employ people off the books and pay piecework wages. Amish kids work cheap.

I'm so "Right" that I think the John Birch Society could've got some traction if they'd just dumped their socialists. One might presume I'd be against "gay marriage"; but actually I don't think the state has any place in relationships other than, possibly, formal recognition for clerical purposes. People should have love, and group together to conserve capital and raise children. There's no social value in limiting how those functions happen; there is some value in ensuring abuse is discouraged but that is not a factor in marriage laws; we have other laws to cover those things already.

The common ground truth is that every individual is more complicated and contradictory than any of the comfortable labels we apply to them.
Wow, I don't know how I entirely missed that. Thanks for the heads up. I've even written a few libraries with C ABI and wrote gems around them with the Ruby FFI gem because I didn't know about Fiddle. I wish the name were better; I might have found it earlier.

Re edit 2: I've made those sorts of binary extensions before, but his wording is "extended with binary extensions that use an API that is written in C, but can be accessed from other languages", implying it's actually just about loading libraries with C ABI and not ordinary binary modules, at least by my interpretation.
Big Brewhaha at Nftnyc over BAYC
Sometimes people do, and in any case copyright isn't limited to just verbatim copies. You can't, for example, reuse characters or plots from other works of fiction in your own novel, even if you rewrite it in your own words: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_protection_for_fic...
Modern conservatives appear to not be willing to share power, and to seek violence against people who disagree with them. Can conservatives find "common ground" with anyone?
No. Why would we want to go that route? Such a lawsuit would slow down a ton of work in AI, certainly big language models and DALL-E for example.
I don't think you do have time for this, because your "arguments" amount to a series of bald assertions.
It's still working as usual and they announced the transition after 8 years of warmongering and blacklisting all opposition resources. And only when sanctions hit.

Now they scramble to present a whitewashed image to Western public. They will probably put themselves forward as great contributors to open source.
Others have written but I wanted to echo that this isn’t a talent gap as much as a training or skill gap. Somebody who is talented at programming understands the process and shows aptitude for things like debugging, design, task decomposition, etc. Somebody with a skill such as “I know x” might know the current api for x but might have no real talent for programming. $(programming god) might not know squat about, say, JavaScript but you can’t say they lack talent. Merely that you’re not giving them the time or reason to learn JavaScript.

Yeah, I’m being pedantic, but phrasing the problem incorrectly obscures the solution. Uni isn’t trade school, and training should be considered post employment.
yes, I'm finding this trope a little tired because it's like everywhere. It could be interesting to have a setting in the first age, like there's no ruins from previous civilization, you are building what would become those ruins instead.

And it's also not limited to fantasy, as it's also there in sci-fi
It seems rather silly to me that such small innovations would be worthy of legal protections under either a copyright or copyleft license.

Isn’t there already precedent in other forms of IP, such as chord progressions in music, sentence length in literature, etc?
Data-based summary thread debunking “profligate, reform-lazy Italy” claims
File uploads were in HTML almost from the start :) And video was not no, but it was a tricky thing to figure out, not just from an implementation but also licensing point of view. RealMedia was another player that dabbled in this market.

I think the disconnect was more with designers. They wanted visual tools back in those days and had no time for CSS and JavaScript. Adobe/Macromedia gave them what they wanted and also entrenched their commercial position this way (which Adobe already had in the paper publishing market!). It took a long time for the graphical guys to come on board with the open toolchains.

Macromedia wasn't a bad company as such as they did make the excellent Dreamweaver which did promote open standards, but Adobe corrupted them badly.
It's actually true, of course people believed in it.
Well you could use it that way by adding stuff to your favourites. A largely unused but useful feature of HN.
is this the first GPT-like models which is fully opensource ? none of the others are right ?
Can you point to case law backing that up?
You have a point. Unfortunately whether we like it or not, the liberal vs non-liberal debate is a veil that covers a lot of tech-related discussions, see the recent Tesla discussion how it quickly became >95% political.

And, like I said somewhere else, I am trying to appeal to the individuals and individuals, not as homogeneous ideological fractals.
In addition to "Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?" another book by Frans de Waal, "Mama's Last Hug: Animal Emotions and What They Tell Us about Ourselves" is also well worth the read.
If the portion of code that Copilot lifts is the "heart" of the original work, that would be much less likely to be considered fair use[1], regardless of the length.

> For example, it would probably not be a fair use to copy the opening guitar riff and the words “I can’t get no satisfaction” from the song “Satisfaction.”

I wonder how this could be integrated into the system?

Change for the sake of change.

I'm often a power user. I know all the features and shortcuts of the tools I use. All too often, these get removed. I recall being on a feedback call with a UX study, and complaining about a feature I use, and many friend use, that was recently deleted from the product. "Oh, no one uses that" was the response from the UX/PM.
It seems fairly similar, at least to me, to a search engine copying snippets of other people's web sites and displaying them on a page. Admittedly, there's still some discussion as to whether or not _that_ is fair use, but I think enough of the population think it is (with many news organizations disagreeing).
There is hardly any.
Well, an optimist downvoted me, so maybe I’m overly pessimistic or realistic or just older. To bring the discussion into the HN community directly, substitute editor or ide for politics and grab the popcorn.
> My personal opinions are in no way reflective of their entire community.

Unfortunately for you, the V community is small and you tend to come here on HN, so you are who we see as an ambassador for V. You are a defacto representative of the community even if you do t see yourself as such. The way you comport yourself here reflects on the entire community. Fair? No. But if you read the comments here and in other threads, you’re definitely leaving an impression as to the entire V community.

> You are free to go there and submit your many opinions about what the members of the V community should or should not be doing.

I don’t have many opinions, I have one opinion and I have given it to you. Stop arguing on the internet and just make your claims bulletproof.
I use 7zip a decent amount. My only nit with it is its tendency to create badly fragmented files on compress. For large files you can be looking at 1000+ fragments. Been meaning to go thru the code and find where it is writing out the compress and add a bit of a buffer before write. That should let most filesystems allocate better. It may be also closing/opening the write file too much. But I have not dug into it.
If it's unlicensed, then you can't use it at all, so giving attribution wouldn't change much in that case.

We have all seen the videos of these jumping carp fleeing boats - an obvious evolutionary predation evasion.
At the rate they are spreading this is a losing race - unless a specific toxin/predator can be found that will kill only these carp.
It seems to me that a mechanical carp harvester that has flat extended flats on each side that are covered by a moving rubber mat like a supermarket checkout line that brings whatever leaps on moves to the boat and is dumped into a holding tank. They would ne to be adjusted for width in case of rivers. A float at the ends will prevent a huge load from pulling one side down.
Such a harvester could go back and forth across lakes/rivers/shores to mechanically harvest these carp. They can be used for catfood, fertilizer etc.
Carp are prolific egg layers, so this would need to be done prior to the spawning time and repeated again and again as the carp are killed and new ones grow - at some point you would be able to exploit this leaping reflex to the disadvantage of the carp. EDIT giantg2 commented that this could lead to an evolutionary fork to non jumping fish = true, but along with other elimination processes in parallel it would take time to select - enough time??
Yeah and thats online income taxes!

Then with less than half left theres countless taxes built into the things you spend on (e.g. sales taxes, property taxes, fuel taxes, import tariffs, etc etc etc etc and oh yeah more etc)
Is there a way for developers, who do not have AI/ML background, to get started using this ? I have been curious about GPT-3 but I do not have any AI/ML experience or knowledge. Is there a "approachable" course on Coursera or Udemy that could help me get started with technologies like GPT ?
But it isn't an outage. My monitoring point in Singapore could reach both ends, they just couldn't talk to each over, due to a routing issue on a third party network over the internet.

On my own network which I control I accept that if a circuit breaks I'll have a 1, maybe 2 second outage while traffic reroutes. For some of my services that's would be a problem, for others it's not. If facebook loads 2 seconds later, nobody cares. If the winning penalty in the world cup final blacks out, that's a big problem.
