I suspect Microsoft supports that lawsuit too.

Looking at the fact pattern in front of me, I can't imagine Copilot has gotten this far without Microsoft's lawyers being fairly confident that they have a compelling legal argument in their back pocket that not only protects their substantial investment in this project, but perhaps puts up a barrier on the limits of what can be claimed via a copyleft license.

This whole exercise screams "designed for win-win" to me. What that argument might be, I cannot guess.
I played that one as well, still remember the hostname by heart. To be honest it wasn't too good compared with some English-speaking MUDs, but it was good to have an option in Spanish.

It doesn't make much sense to me as I've never seen anyone use anything you'd find in an AI book that you wouldn't also find in a Machine learning book

For big data, I think that the terminology waned but data engineers internalized the desire to scale everything they make to handle big data. So data engineering teams are still using things like Spark (or databricks) even if their datasets aren't big enough to need that
Perhaps it's a little bit like employing a human programmer with an eidetic memory who occasionally remembers entire largish functions.

If he were able to remember a large enough piece of copyrighted code, and reused it, then it still wouldn't be fair use, even if he changed a variable name here or there, or the license message.
How large does the section has to be? A single sentence? Or two? You can currently set Copilot to not include suggestions where more than 150 characters appear in the training set.
Here's Kate Downing, an IP lawyer specializing in software license:

> According to Downing, the answer depends to a certain extent on where that code is hosted. If it’s on GitHub, there very clearly would not be copyright infringement.

> “If you look at the GitHub Terms of Service, no matter what license you use, you give GitHub the right to host your code and to use your code to improve their products and features,” Downing says. “So with respect to code that’s already on GitHub, I think the answer to the question of copyright infringement is fairly straightforward.”

Downing cautions that copilot output of large chunks of code complete with comments are more questionable to use, but that for the most part it looks above board.

Here's an English lawyer on the same topic...

> The licence is broadly worded, and I'm confident that there is scope for argument, but if it turns out that Github does not require a licence for its activities then, in respect of the code hosted on Github, I suspect it could make a reasonable case that the mandatory licence grant in its terms covers this as against the uploader.

in 1947 in the UK, there was a £10 (10 pound) bounty to incent people to examine field potatoes in detail for the beetle and their caterpillars. £10 was 3-4 weeks wages then.
Soon beetle breeders emerged and by mid summer the bounty was abolished - the new DDT was used.
It's not a "decision" in a practical sense for the vast majority of HN readers.

Imagine I go to a Burger King, and I declare, "Well, I shan't purchase a Big Mac. No, on principle I demand the Whopper". Sure enough the Burger King employees sell me a Whopper. But, that's not because they respect my principled stance against the Big Mac, they don't sell Big Macs and they do sell Whoppers.

Rich industrialised countries have all eliminated Polio, and thus don't offer OPV at all. I had OPV when I was a child, because I am an old man but the younger people I work with all had IPV. There was no "Which do you want?" question, government policy changed after elimination and availability of a killed vaccine.
On your tangential note: I always assumed many in the FLOSS side are actually against most cases of copyright as applied to software, but since it is the regulatory standard, they put a strong emphasis on making it work for their purposes, thus the somewhat ironic “copyleft”.
It’s a “don’t hate the player hate the game” situation for them
If I "trained" an "AI model" consisting of an executable that regurgitates its input 99% of the time on a Hollywood blockbuster and distributed it, that'd be copyright infringement. Probably still would be at 50% and 10%. So what's the threshold for you here?

> 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.

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.

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've found that you can sometimes talk to the manager of the store and they can actually order most any product that any of their suppliers stock - or more of a certain product.

Our store would continually run out of the particular baby food we wanted and the cashier noticed me buying it all when it was in stock and asked if I wanted them to just order another box for me.

This doesn't help when the suppliers have discontinued it, and some of the larger chains are all automated, but it can be a useful trick. The computers try to notice what sells and order more (I've bought all of a certain item and noticed they stocked twice as much the next week, for example) but sometimes it can be assisted.

You can also email the company/distributor and ask for retail locations in your area, they'll usually know.

You're right, my bad, my calculations are off by a factor of 10^6, that means 0.0000000003125 seconds, which is 0.3125 nanoseconds, which is not 0.25 nanoseconds but is on the same order of magnitude.
I use dolthub's public database to practice queries.

I gave their bounty program a shot but I quit when I was prompted to download/clone a 8gb database. So the best thing would be to have a dolthub account and develop the data from there.

I think if you do a little bit of git hacking you can create a branch with just an empty or a dummy database based on the schema, clone only that branch and make a PR to append to the original database. But I couldn't figure that out.

2008: Website with jQuery

2022: Server side rendering using island-based architecture for client-side rehydration of interactive components
There are plenty of low/no/visual code environments that are very successful and ergonomic, some of it is free software, some of it proprietary. I refer to it as visual programming from here on, because it is still a form of programming, the 'no code' term is marketing bull that detracts from that basic fact.

A common theme is that visual programming part is a restrictive DSL. So its about configuration and composition. The visual DSL is coded in a general purpose programming language. This model is I think quite powerful.

CMS: In Wordpress for example, themes and plugins are provided via code. Users have varying degrees of freedom depending on said themes/plugins to compose them.

Game Engines: In Unity visual programming is baked in. Programs can expose varying degrees of configurability. There are whole visual programming tools that let you define logic and behavior.

Speadsheets: Already quite powerful on their own, can be extended with scripting languages to gain new capabilities and triggers.

Video and Animations: Very typical for visual programming affordances. Users often get drag and drop interfaces to encode logic and behaviors.

etc...

These types of visual DSLs are incredibly successful, because they allow the programmers/engineers to solve the technically interesting, general problems and the domain experts to solve the domain specific problems.

However I agree that these tools often go too far, especially if they don't respect where a visual DSL should stop. Almost half of the work I get is from clients who previously used a "low-code" solution that got them into a mess, which was slow, brittle and unmaintainable.
My argument has nothing to do with ‘greenness’. What I am talking about already has a name: marginal productivity or marginal efficiency.

My point is if you have to dig and burn 2.5 rocks to get 1 rocks worth of energy you are really concerned with that ratio for a whole host of reasons and affects everything you do (it is one reason why coal plants are huge for instance).

Now say you can get a rocks worth of energy with no rocks to dig and burn. Of course you still want to get the most amount of energy and there is an upper limit to how much you can collect but you no longer think about it in terms of the number of rocks you have to dig out and burn. That is a huge difference.

Making an example of Copilot (or, better, Copilot users) would slow down a ton of work in AI-automated copyright infringement: a good thing.
Their contention is that this is fair use, so copyright based licensing doesn't apply at all. Under their legal theory, the GPL is irrelevant.
Government jobs are usually easy to coast through.

Also, places with lots of B and C players usually are easy to coast through. The thinking is you can do less, still be better than these people, and not get fired. The trick is to not show you know TOO much though. Otherwise you'll get a ton of work on your plate that these B/C players can't do.

Politics turns into different interests talking over each other, with outspoken individuals dominating the conversation; not using reason but emotion and authority.

Take something data-driven like science: Just the other day there was a topic about how Alzheimer's research was stymied by the amyloid orthodoxy. What happened is the antithesis of science and the excuses are appalling.

I've often commented (not in HN) that a major hole and Achille's heel in science is funding: It's not science without specifically leaving room for untried or less-explored inquiries and suddenly the dismissive posts will come out in force.

It is not limited to gender:

The authors also submitted different test studies to different peer-review boards. The methodology was identical, and the variable was that the purported findings either went for, or against, the liberal worldview (for example, one found evidence of discrimination against minority groups, and another found evidence of "reverse discrimination" against straight white males). Despite equal methodological strengths, the studies that went against the liberal worldview were criticized and rejected, and those that went with it were not. - https://theweek.com/articles/441474/how-academias-liberal-bi...
Thanks for the clarification -- that's what I suspected, but thought I must be misreading or misunderstanding, but I also don't know your situation and trust you're making the right set of trade-offs here. If your system is today a cuttlefish, yesterday a cow, and tomorrow a crab, cow tests don't do you much good. That sounds like a crazy environment, and I'd maybe have a care that those hapless idiots are sane people in an insane place.

You wouldn't "lever" this any different from how you would another PE fund. Yes accredited investors can invest in a PE fund with a Roth IRA. Just like any other PE fund they can invest in a continuation. But TBH I'd be careful before you do that, a few of the ones I've seen are good but a lot of these aren't really that great. Though that's a lot of PE these days with too much $ chasing too few companies.

So you can't really have sensitivity and specificity in the classic sense because you are not able to gold standard classify the infection of an individual. However, here is some research on the mater...

>The location and timing of poliomyelitis cases showed spatial and temporal variability. The sensitivity of AFP surveillance to detect serotype 1 poliovirus infection in a district and its neighbours per month was on average 30.0% (95% CI 24.8–35.8) and increased with the incidence of poliomyelitis cases. The average population sensitivity of a single environmental sample was 59.4% (95% CI 55.4–63.0), with significant variation in site-specific estimates (median varied from 33.3–79.2%). The combined population sensitivity of environmental and AFP surveillance in a given month was on average 98.1% (95% CI 97.2–98.7), assuming four samples per month for each site.

>Four quarterly visits were made to 78 ES sites in 21 states of Nigeria, and ES site characteristic data were matched to 1345 samples with an average enterovirus prevalence among sites of 68% (range, 9%–100%). A larger estimated catchment population, high total dissolved solids, and higher pH were associated with enterovirus detection. A random forests model predicted “good” sites (enterovirus prevalence >70%) from measured site characteristics with out-of-sample sensitivity and specificity of 75%.

How is it Russian propaganda? It's been widely reported by western sources that Denisova was fired by Ukrainian officials for lying specifically about the mass rape claims.

I'm not suggesting there have been no rapes or that Russians are the good guys. Just that the reports of mass rapes were fabricated (Denisova admitted she thought it would help Ukraine obtain more sympathy and weapons from the west).
I literally posted my last post, so I can add it to my favourites on HN.
Everyone who has data is still doing it, the buzzword just went out of fashion. Now it’s data science, analytics, ML eng. What truly ended is “big data” meaning “we’ll come take your logs and magically transform your business.”
Big Data was about the giddy excitement of being able to run some fancy predictive model on a large amount of data and get some sort of incredible benefit. Now most organizations have tried it. The few that actually benefit now take it for granted. The rest have moved on, although they still have a team of data engineers babysitting a legacy Hadoop cluster.

> No-code or low-code still means you're creating software, even if you're using a drag-and-drop UI to do so. And if you're building software, you're going to want things like version control, environments, code review, etc. Unfortunately, most of these tools have zero ability to do these things, or have really half-baked imitations of them, and as a result the apps you've built in no-code/low-code are unable to scale as your company grows.

This.

A phrase that captures this sentiment is that no-code and low-code is "Duck Programming:" It may be marketed as being not-programming, but if it walks like programming and swims like programming and quacks like programming, it's programming. And the code itself is just part of the practice of programming:

> 1. You most likely agreed to that by using GitHub.

Are you saying that I would need all the original authors consent to upload a repo to github even if I include all the original attribution and licenses? Because what you are implying is that when uploading I'm granting github a license far outside the bounds of the license included, which only all the contributors can do. For example, would the linux project need to contact each and every contributor ever to upload a mirror to github, since their contributions were under GPL but you are implying that the license given to github is much, much broader?

This would make any project not originally started on github and with a few contributors basically impossible to host there.

> 2. Copy&Pasting Code by manual search exists.

The question is who is doing the infringement here. Github copilot is obfuscating the copying and telling it's users that the code is theirs to use, own, etc. as they please but is also taking large chunks of code it does not have the right to redistribute, even less grant licenses to.

These kinds of posts are exhausting because they are full of cute quips that sound reasonable at first blush but it would take me an hour to dissect and expose the deep seeded transphobia and historical context of dogwhistles like “sex is real” and “biological reality” as used by GCs and their new found far right allies of convenience. The author, like many before and many after him have realized that you will get nowhere explicitly saying you hate and don’t respect trans people and so take safer positions like “chromosomal sex is real” (something trans people don’t even disagree with) and then imply the hate in the subtext — “some policy contexts” (again another thing that trans people don’t disagree with with) but actually meaning “every policy context that matters”. The playbook is to say almost nothing so no one call call you out for your hate, frustrate your political opponents in some bullshit game of “I’m not touching you” until they get (reasonably) angry and then play the victim. Bleh.

There’s a wider discussion to be had about the power of platforms and payment processors but let’s not cry for this guy in particular who knowingly literally operates and sells merch for a commercial fear and hate factory.
