> Google and Facebook feed their data to NSA.

We know that at least some companies were ordered to handover all data, continuously [1].

edit: I think we have enough evidence that I would assume that it's valid for the other companies on the slides, and if it's not true you'll have to provide some proof of that.

> It searches that database and lets them listen to the calls or read the emails of everything that the NSA has stored, or look at the browsing histories or Google search terms that you've entered, and it also alerts them to any further activity that people connected to that email address or that IP address do in the future."

> Greenwald explained that while there are "legal constraints" on surveillance that require approval by the FISA court, these programs still allow analysts to search through data with little court approval or supervision.

> "There are legal constraints for how you can spy on Americans," Greenwald said. "You can't target them without going to the FISA court. But these systems allow analysts to listen to whatever emails they want, whatever telephone calls, browsing histories, Microsoft Word documents."

> "And it's all done with no need to go to a court, with no need to even get supervisor approval on the part of the analyst," he added.

edit 3:

> Equally unusual is the way the NSA extracts what it wants, according to the document: “Collection directly from the servers of these U.S. Service Providers: Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, Apple.” [3]

Both of statements can be true, though. Developers skilled enough / brave enough to write kernel drivers can be very careful about not leaking memory or mismanaging the hardware in question, and Rust can make that job much easier by being pedantic about memory mistakes or type misuses (with custom types that are validated at compile time but no runtime overhead).

I've worked on C and Rust codebases, though nothing near as complex as the Linux kernel, and I'm excited for this change as it will reduce the burden on the kernel developers to reach the same quality output, so we either get drivers faster, or drivers for hardware we wouldn't have otherwise received, or both.

As far as the fear of Rust kernel drivers that don't compile with GCC's Rust frontend, I trust Linus to keep the bar high on letting this feature in, and that kernel drivers accepted into the tree compile with just GCC as they always have.

Third-party drivers may not, but that's also true today if someone wrote a driver that only compiled with LLVM. This doesn't really happen in practice as it goes against the path-of-least-resistance for the developer: they'd have to switch their toolset out when working on that driver vs everything else, and the auto-building by DKMS would probably fail on them if they used it during development -- all of the conventions used by the rest of the kernel infrastructure will keep them in line.

An average is not related to artistic aspects of the data and so can't be a derivative in the copyright sense (based on international law - one of the principle Conventions is fully titled "the Berne convention for the protection of literary and artistic laws", that's because copyright protects literary and artistic works).

Provided you have rights to access a body of statistics, then copyright has nothing to say -- save overreaching national caselaw (!) -- on your derivation of mathematical, technical, or scientific data from that work.

But a contractual clause, in general, doesn't care about copyright; of you've contracted not to derive data from a work then that's orthogonal to copyright.

IANA(IP)L, this is my opinion and unrelated to my employment.
Adding bindings for a second language after 25 years is not what I'd call "diversity".
A law that uses the archaic terms "copy and paste", referring to a time when people would make an analog photocopy of a document written using a typewriter, trim it out with scissors or a knife, and glue it to their book with the pasty remains from boiling animal collagen cannot be trusted to apply word-for-word in a time when technology has obsoleted the glue, typewriter, xerox machine, and even the paper.

It is not the same as a human, no, but it's not hard to choose a definition of the word "intelligent" that can accurately describe something that can be done by a program.

When a human walks around a puddle, are they demonstrating intelligence? When a horse avoids stepping in a hole, is the horse intelligent? When a robotic vacuum avoids a stairway, is it intelligent? When a self-driving car avoids a bollard, is that intelligent?

Whether there's a being inside the device that believes it experiences consciousness or not, the same outcome happens. A Searle's Chinese Room that produces copies of Chinese IP, a trained monkey that does so, or a human that does the same thing, the outcome is very similar.
As other commenters have poked at; I'd hope that if Rust is going into the kernel (even if just for drivers), that means it's hopefully hopefully started to "calm down" as a language.

At least in regards to the features that affect kernel-level development. Stabilizing that doesn't preclude active development in things like async or in the standard library (both of which I'd expect not to see much or any use in the kernel.) But I'd hope for decent work towards backwards and forwards compatibility in the set of language features used there.
Day 2 of Sailsconf talk on shipping Sails apps via Docker containers
Taxation in the fiat CB/MMT era stops being a means to fill public coffers and becomes primarily a means to artificially suppress demand. You tax someone not to raise your funds, but to decrease their spending power.

If you need to fill the public coffers, just ask the CB! You can then use taxation to mitigate the inflationary pressure of doing that.

But generally taxation becomes a bandaid for poor economics, and institutions like the IRS are obscenely arcane and bloated. They should be eradicated and replaced by a much simpler and more automated digital accounting system.

No, this doesn't have anything to do with the virtual beanie babies known as cryptocurrency.

This led me to look up similar information. Another article [1] looks into this a little more deeply.

I feel there is a resurgence of despising European dominance over the last 200 years and Israel is just another point here. Thus, we have material hypothesizing the illegitimacy of European Jews when the Jews of other
ethnicities may have better acceptance in the region. (But all of this is just a vague hypothesis.)

Statutory defense for ethical hacking under UK Computer Misuse Act tabled
Well spotted :-)
Let me first assume the strictest case, ie that you mean 0% literally, not 0% real rate (adjusted for inflation).

Imagine you are a big institution that holds $10 Billion in "cash", for instance a European bank. The interest offered to them by the ECB at the moment is -0.50%. Most banks prefer to pay that premium for storing "cash" in the ECB account over extracting physical notes. (The notes may not even be available.)

Whether or not private citizens are willing to lend at negative nominal interest rate, doesn't matter so much, as long as companies and institutions are willing.

But in the real world, there is usually some inflation. If the inflation is 5%, cash will lose 5% if its value per year if you store it as paper. Most people will store it in a bank deposit. In today's market, far below 5%, probably closer to 0 than 5. In other words, private persons often lend money to the bank at a negative real interest rate.

Whether your mean nominal or real rates, there are people or organizations out there that are willing to lend below a rate of 0% at this very moment.

Kubernetes is considered too complex to deploy for mere mortals.

Here's rough list of things that I had to do, because I'm doing right now exactly that: trying to deploy kubernetes.

1. Prepare server by installing and configuring containerd. Few simple steps.

2. Load one kernel module. Configure ip forward sysctl.

3. Install kubernetes binaries from apt repository.

4. Run kubeadm init

5. Install helm (this part is optional, but makes things simpler): download binary or install it from snap.

6. Install network plugin like flannel or calico.

7. Install nginx ingress plugin.

8. Install storage provider plugin. Also you should have some storage service like NFS server, so Kubernetes can ask for storage.

If you want single-node Kubernetes, I think that should be enough. May be #6 is not even necessary. If you want real cluster, you would need to tinker with load balancer for which I don't have clear picture right now. I'm using external load balancer.

If you're using docker, my understanding is that containerd is already installed.

I actually spent few weeks trying to understand those parts and I have only shallow understanding so far.

With that in mind, simple kubernetes solutions probably have its place among those who can't or don't want to use managed kubernetes from popular clouds.

I have no idea about those simple kuberneteses though.

My opinion is that vanilla kubernetes is not that hard and you should have some understanding about its moving parts anyway. But if you want easy path, I guess it's something worth considering.

Okay, but Copilot isn't a human. It's a computer program. If I wrote an algorithm that spat out copyrighted code with the variables renamed, it would be absurd to say that constitutes an original work. Copilot is much closer to that than to a human programmer.

If training Copilot was copyright infringement then essentially it'd make the majority of useful/interesting machine learning models illegal as they currently exist, and make it impossible for anyone except huge multi-billion corporations to train such models in the future, since only they'd be able to legally license enough data to do so.

Models like GPT-J or DALL-E mini could not legally exist anymore. So sure, please, make this illegal, regress the whole field of machine learning 20 years back, and make it something that only billion dollar corporations can do.

We should be striving to make copyright less draconian, not more.

How to structure a data team to climb the pyramid of Data Science
Given how many databases already implement MVCC, some form of versioning is already baked into DB systems. It seems obvious in hindsight that this could be reified into its own feature instead of a book-keeping detail. Cool to see a project actually tackle that challenge.
I got pretty good at this - it's not all it's cracked up to be.

If you're really open minded & empirical, every time you talk to a specialist or hobbyist, you'd change your mind - simply because they have more data available. You're not at the mercy of the best idea, just the best argument; you're simply outsourcing your opinions.

It's less "thoughtful" and more "spineless"

This is only partially correct.

Since I have two free complimentary months I decided to sign up even though I'm not super thrilled with it (see previous comments). I was given two options:

1. allow code from public repositories
2. allow copilot to learn from my code

I disabled both of these options. Presumably I am now using an AI model which learns and suggests based on the context of my project.

For Load Balancer in your case you would probably provision MetalLB in place of the cloud specific LB solutions that cloud providers deploy. It’s somewhat straightforward, though the steps I believe are specific to each network provider (flannel, calico etc)
This. The falling cost of storage and increasing speed of SSDs means that for most use cases a column store database is significantly faster and cheaper.

Plus people started wising up to COST.
It delivers on its premise of always correct, incremental builds but it is extremely opinionated. I don’t blame it for that, maybe having truly hermetic and reproducible builds requires that level of structure. It is almost magical changing a linker flag in some bazel config and see it _only_ relink affected targets.

If you need to do cross-compilation then I feel like it is extremely overengineered with the whole platform/toolchain concepts, and after _years_ the docs are still incredibly lacking on this aspect. I almost prefer the previous approach with the semi-documented protobuf as JSON crosstool file.

If you need the safety guarantees or the reproducibility there’s no other build system out there. If you don’t then you will be inclined to hate it because you are not extracting value of it.

This is not all bad news - manufacturers are realizing that just-in-time global supply chains are highly fragile and this is spurring quite a bit of domestic investment in production facilities. Helium shortages are as much a problem as neon shortages, but that's driving specialty gas production domestically

> "For example, helium, a critical material for semiconductor manufacturing, has been under considerable strain recently. The inert gas has a thermal conductivity second only to hydrogen, so it is perfect for safely cooling down chips and tools during the patterning process. Helium is also used in some lasers, and ionized helium is a potent etchant. Many analysts describe helium as irreplaceable for semiconductor manufacturing, and the new nodes use more of it than ever... Russia’s invasion of Ukraine further disrupted helium supplies by scrambling the natural gas market; most helium is extracted as a side product from natural gas wells. The current helium shortage is the fourth in recent history, according to helium consultant Phil Kornbluth, and it may be the worst yet."

I refer to Tamil and Malayalam movies, not Bollywood (and these are only one among many sources I mention). Like I said, Tamil movies have been exploring criminal-politician-state nexus for a few decades now, although that doesn’t stop the Tamils from electing famously authoritarian governments themselves.

I don’t buy the argument that mafia or middle eastern emigre have influenced these potrayals in Tamil cinema since the 70s and 80s. It’s the local politics that did.
Maybe there’s merit to the argument about Hindi films (I don’t know), but not Tamil.

You couldn’t be more mistaken if you confuse the South Indian film industry (then centered around Madras/Chennai) with the Hindi film industry (Bollywood, centered in Bombay/Mumbai).
Probably the Rust code will be drivers for devices that are not compatible with non-rust supported architectures anyway.
It depends upon a judge. A letter or word doesn't carry that much meaning. A value is created when something meaningful is made. If copilot gives code from linux kernel, I think it should follow GPL license.

There are reasons why one opensource project(forgot the name probably redox os) bans people from contributing if they have read pirated source code?

To echo what others have said, the practice of big data has become so normalized that the language term "big data" -- as a new thing to call attention to itself -- is not needed as much as before.

Similar language history that happened to terms like "dynamic web" or "interactive web". In the late 1990s when Javascript started to be heavily used, we called attention to that new trend the "dynamic web". Today, the "interactive web" phrase has mostly gone away. But that doesn't mean that Javascript-enabled web pages were a fad. On the contrary, we're using more Javascript than ever before. We just take it as a given that the web is interactive.

Examples of rise & fall of "interactive web" in language use that peaked around 2004:

As a society IMO we should be fine with this
I assume that what we're seeing here is companies hoping to farm the active community of enthusiastic early pioneers and contributors. That's good and all as a reward for people who have "put the time in" to Rust when it was nascent and ready-buys talent that already has experience; but it does limit your talent pool a lot. And more specifically limits you to people who were not working practical industry jobs in places where their employer would not have countenanced Rust development, or people who did not have extracurricular time for open source projects, etc.
It's only a toy example, and it already has a problem: people aren't very good at explaining their motivation. There doesn't have to be any logic to it, so you basically are in no position to question any preference by appealing to logic. People are also tempted to simply reply when asked, even if they don't know the answer. And your conclusion isn't fully justified either. Suppose the true, underlying reason for liking that team is

coach == "my fav coach" || center_player == "my fav player" || won_last_match

and the team did in fact win the last match. Then the answer "because the coach is my favorite" is a fair answer, but changing the coach doesn't change the outcome.

This technique may very well set you on a path to misunderstanding when applied rigourously.
> What Copilot actually does is read every line of code from a project, and keep a dataset built around what code tends to have been written adjacent to what other code.

No it reads every line of code from EVERY project.

It is not reproducing code from individual coders, it is reproducing patterns deduced from the work of millions of coders.

It's like Smart Compose in Gmail. Copyright on anything I write is mine by default, but Gmail can of course take all things written by everybody and then use it to train a thing that detects what I probably mean and offer sentence auto completion in Gmails.

Around 10 years out the glue will fail, seemingly all at once. I have boots 20+ years old which are still great (stitched and nailed), but all the old shoes just fall apart wherever they were glued (the sole usually). You can try to reglue, but it can be hard to get it smooth and walking on a lump ruins it.
That makes sense. Thank you for teaching me that.

I would still call my paper a whitepaper, though. While it's not rigorous, it's more about law where rigor doesn't apply in the same way. And it is not peer-reviewed, although it was reviewed and rejected by the FSF.
