> I took the time to read the comments on the issue and I can't see anyone refusing to do this.

Personally, I see a lack of interest and a lack of desire to expand the functionality

> It seems like the person that suggested it can't compile ventoy as it requires a particular version of fedora.

Yes, that was me.

> This needs somebody to compile ventoy and make a PR.

As you may guess by how I explained the problem and the solution (with code!), I would be happy to make a PR, but I don't want to waste more time by writing code that won't be merged.

> solving the issue where it needs an old version of fedora would make it easier for others to participate

Yes, that too

But given the lack of interest by the maintainer of the low hanging fruit of making ventoy usable on partitions, even when it would bring the side benefit of respecting the block size of removable media (like thumbdrives, SD cards...) I think working on either would be a waste of time :(

> The best way of moving this forward would be to free up a block of time and either work on a PR, or if not that a PR to make ventoy compilable on more distros.

A week ago, someone started a fork for a better integration with other tools.

If you want to join in to fix the compilation issues (so that it doesn't require a specific old Fedora for example) I'll be happy to fix the partition stuff.

People choose what language they learn based on what jobs are available. Companies choose what language they use based on what FAANG companies use. What you're saying is not obvious, it is a naive assumption. Popular does not equal good. If that's what you think you can go ahead and explain why Java is superior to C++. I don't think you even know why it rose to prominence.
The value from copilot seems to be very dependant on exactly what you are coding, in which language and what libraries/frameworks you are using. I've been using it on and off for about a year and on the whole consider it at best a net neutral in terms of value. For every 10 times it saves me 2-3 minutes typing out some boiler plate it costs me 20-30 minutes to sort out some weird bug or subtle gibberish it has introduced in my codebase. Half the time the suggestions are just obviously wrong.
Is it really a clone or just something that has some similarities?

As an English language user Yandex is awful for typical use in my experience. I'd say at least a third of the results it serves on its English site are Russian. That said, I find myself using Yandex quite a bit simply because I can assume it has a Russian bias, or at the very least it doesn't have the same biases you might expect from a search engine operated in the West.

I think a lot of people would be surprised at the extent at which Google and other Western search engines filter their search results today. A lot of content which might be labelled "extreme" or politically problematic I find is now either missing entirely from Google search or pushed so far down in the results that it's practically inaccessible. On Yandex I find I don't have this problem.

As an example during the pandemic Yandex was pretty useful for finding conspiratorial content about Covid-19 which was censored by Google. Not that this is necessarily a good thing for the average user, but it has its uses if you're trying to come to your own conclusions about things rather than relying on the narrative provided by Western media companies. It's obviously also been useful when trying to better understand the Russian side of the ongoing RU/UA conflict which has either been completely absent or very unfairly portrayed by most Western media sources (again, perhaps for good reason, but still).
Ah, but for these threads you get the "this post has been deleted" for many posts which 100% are still there. It just takes extra work to be able to see them.

Once you have seen it and dug into it a bit, it feels very intentional and sneaky.

When I got hired at Amazon in 2001 we had a "gonefishin" page that was a static page that would be served in the event of an outage (this was before status pages, but it was kind of the same thing -- public acknowledgement of a major incident). The standard protocol was within minutes of a sev 1 to make a decision to display the GF page once it was confirmed that the whole site was down and then work to fix the issue.

By the time I left in 2006 that was no longer policy since reporters had setup monitoring for that page to detect outages and report on service availability so they just let it crash and return 500s or whatever the failure mode was. Optimize for making the job of external agencies doing reporting on their availability harder instead of easier.
The established fact is that porn addiction utilizes the same nuerological pathways as substance addiction.

I said nothing of the outcomes, though I wouldn't be so sure. We don't have any data on the outcomes of porn addiction. I wonder how many young men have committed suicide in large part due to their porn addiction, or how many have lost their jobs. It's certainly a non-zero number.
I've been using Copilot for a while now. I'm lucky that I don't have to pay moving forward but I would totally pay $10/mo for this. When writing tests, this thing works so well that it saves me 10-20% time writing code so $10 is nothing.

It didn't. In this pipeline, the incels are an earlier stage; MGTOW is for the incels that (ostensibly) are giving up on women entirely. Of course in practice they do no such thing - instead they focus even harder on blaming women for their problems.
For those looking for a legal way to view episodes of the original series, they are currently on Paramount+ (as well as being available for purchase in the usual ways).

Paramount+ contains every episode except season 5, episode 22 An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Occurrence_at_Owl_Creek_Bri...

> An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge (French: La Rivière du hibou, lit. 'The Owl River') is a 1961 French short film, almost without dialogue. It was based on the 1891 American short story of the same name by American Civil War soldier, wit, and writer Ambrose Bierce. It was directed by Robert Enrico and produced by Marcel Ichac and Paul de Roubaix with music by Henri Lanoë. It won awards at the Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Awards. The film was later screened on American television as episode 22 of the fifth season of The Twilight Zone on 28 February 1964.

The source for the article cites both women and men. That said, if it is also true that fewer men are sleeping with more women then the cause of this can also be attributed to the choice of the women than the choice of men.
Well if it becomes a cat/mouse game, the drones could start shielding their electronics and employing backup navigation methods if GPS fails (think robotic-sextant-style celestial navigation).

Of course, a robotic sextant is not going to be as accurate as GPS, but I bet you could get within 100-200m of your destination.
I agree it's much better than other manufacturers. And therein lies the problem!
Show HN: Scenario – Tech Interviews That Assess Real Software Engineering Skills
TL;DR: If our goal is human-like intelligence in AI, it helps if we first understand human intelligence, which we don't. How many of our cognitive functions are innate through genetic evolution, and how many are learned through experience? We don't know for sure, but even knowing that would only move the goalposts; the question would then become, "how many functions need to be innately defined, i.e. hardcoded, to achieve human-level intelligence?"

I'm personally more aligned with the empiricist view that our innate abilities are almost entirely the cognitive capability of learning, and specific functions are almost all learned through experience. Take a look at a newborn baby and make note of how few things it's capable of understanding, recognizing, or predicting. In fact, a baby is capable of only a handful of cognitive tasks: "suckle when something touches my mouth and I'm on my side", "that is a human face of some kind", "grip when anything touches my palm", and... well, that's about it. Everything else requires time to gather data, experiences to learn from. A baby doesn't move away from fire because it recognizes fire, it does so because when it comes close, it starts to hurt -- reinforcement learning. It doesn't learn to talk because it innately manipulates sounds into language, it copies sounds it hears and repeats the ones that result in positive results -- self-supervised (and also just regular supervised) learning. Etc. etc.

In fact, even basic numerical skills that you'd think come naturally aren't innate. Make a row of 4 coins and a row of 5 coins, and ask a 4-year-old which has more. They'll likely say the correct answer, the row of 5. But now spread the smaller row out, leaving gaps that make the row larger than the row of 5, and ask the question again. The child will say the row of 4 now has more coins. Even though they just said it had fewer, and the number of coins hasn't changed; the child will not yet understand the difference between "larger" and "more". We don't have an innate understanding of basic symbolic manipulation even of simple objects; we learn it over time.

I want to love github co-pilot, but its just not there yet. For trivial stuff it's great, but for anything non-trivial it's always wrong. Always.

And my problem is : Time.

Cycling through false positives and trying to figure out if it's right costs me way more than $10 a month in productivity.

I cant wait for better versions to come out, but right now, no.
It's a step up from cuneiform.

If you really want people to understand, it should probably be just arabic numerals. They're almost universally understand, and then you can just look it up in your language or print out the chart and put it next to the machine.
It’d be nice if they made it free if the upstream repo is published publicly under an open source license. They have all that info already.
Not really, $10 is reasonable even if you’re a hobbyist who never expects to generate any revenue.
I am sorry I may have misunderstood your last part but are you saying that republicans are the ones that support musk? If so I would disagree and say the vast majority of musk fans were democrats until recently. They drove tesla's rise and that is really where a lot of musk power comes from...
It is provided by government. Most people I know had both private and federal loans. I only have federal loans left to pay. You can also deduct the interest payed from taxes.

The root of the problem is that a career is treated like a product. It's a product that you won't know whether it's good or bad until you graduate four years later or more. The job market changes faster than this, and a lot students find themselves changing careers later to adjust to market demand, and in some cases they just can't get a job in the field at all.

One potential solution here, is have companies pay for schools. The way it would work is that companies hire new grads and they pay some form of education insurance. If you can't get a job within a certain time period, the school should take the loss, until you get the job later. This would force schools to rethink what they're offering.
Integrating into a shell, for immediate execution, seems very very dangerous. You still need to carefully test/scrutinize everything that comes from copilot.
> Really? So the only people who should be able to go to Ivy League schools are those poor enough to get aid and those rich enough to pay for the entire fee?

Giving poor kids a leg up over upper middle class kids is a win regardless of what you do with rich kids. That’s a separate issue.

> Great way to make sure that the children of the professional class of people who make that sort of money (lawyers, engineers, nurses) not work as hard as possible and use their upbringing to contribute to the future of the country.

The upper middle class has been instrumental in the last few decades in driving inequality. Behind every factory that’s shut down in Milwaukee and outsourced to China there’s lawyers and consultants and even logistical engineers making that happen.

Thanks for the tips, will check them out.
Yes. It is completely valid, understandable, and reasonable to have a variety of different feelings and views about how specific code and specific licenses are used.

This is particularly the case when we see the emergence of new technologies that use it in different ways. Different people may have a wide variety of equally valid views about how it is incorporated into that system.

There's nothing inconsistent, confusing, or complex about those views.

Amazing. So what I can understand is that they have managed to make something like vintage mechanical calculators but uses optics instead of mechanics or electronics thus making it much faster.
> Also feels kind of icky to train on open source projects and then charge for the output.

The business model for most of the Internet is to bait people into using things for free and then monetize them without compensation in some roundabout way.
HN is a straight forward forum. Reddit is one level above that: generalized forums as a service.

Anything HN has had to implement, Reddit has to implement at a generalized, user-facing level, like mod tools.

Frankly, we underestimate how hard forums are, even simple ones. I learned this the hard way rebuilding a popular vBulletin forum into a bespoke forum system.

Every feature people expect from a forum turns into a fractal of smaller moving parts, consideration, and infinite polish. Letting users create and manage forums is an explosion of even more things that used to be simple private /admin tools.

If you look at a lot of competitive athletes and bodybuilders, they tend to be pretty broken in their old age. E.g. Ronnie Coleman - former Mr. Olympia - could barely walk after tons of spinal and back surgeries.

Maybe you have the bone density - but if you are immobile with tons of joint and arthritis issues, it probably will not help.

My unpopular take: most comments here are super entitled.

To paraphrase: "sure it's minblowing and the biggest productivity gain in years, but I want it FREE".

Yes. You got used to it being free. And now it's not. But $10/mo is a steal. It's more than fair and far, far less than they could get.

And no. They don't owe you anything.

In fact, they probably host your code (often free), and less directly provide your IDE (for free). So this idea that they owe you something needs to be reassessed.

CoPilot is easily worth it and I think this is fair. I actually welcome it because I was nervous it might be like 80.
> train on open source projects

To be specific, the FAQ states: "It has been trained on natural language text and source code from publicly available sources, including code in public repositories on GitHub."

Some have raised concerns that Copilot violates at least the spirit of many open source licenses, laundering otherwise unusable code by sprinkling magic AI dust... most likely leaving the Copilot user responsible for copyright infringement.

How can it help you to speed up development but not be worth 10$/month. Your hourly rate can’t be that low.
Do you recall/have a link to such examples? Would be interesting to try them again with the filter.

The example I can remember was Carmack's* quick square root - but I'd probably call that "folk code" given it was passed down/altered before being misattributed to the Quake dev, and appears in hundreds of Github repos (many with permissive licenses like WTFPL, so a well-intentioned human may do the same).

Yeah all Tai Chi is a combat art. Practicing the forms slowly is just a technique to emphasize the fine details of the movement. It's also typically a very feet-on-the-ground approach without a lot of kicks or acrobatics. I practiced a Southern style a while ago and we did the slow, meditative forms but also sparring so we knew how the moves were applicable. It's popular with old folks because you the movements are low impact.
What makes this tricky is that the public and private keys reverse roles when signing versus encrypting. Having these keys represented by different objects (physical locks or keys) depending on the usage can potentially make things more confusing.
I understand that very well. But let's stretch the analogy more:

There's this restaurant (Facebook) where all the cool people go to meet every night. Those meetings are so cool that, you know you just cannot miss them, otherwise you'll get out of touch.

You arrive to the reception, and the receptionist tells you that yep, the meeting you are looking for is going on, everybody is there. They even let you take a peek from outside and you see everyone is there.

But you just cannot participate now. You must provide the receptionist all your personal data, including a picture of you, your telephone number and a lot of other quite personal info... Oh, and you cannot lie because they will check everything with online databases.

You are annoyed, but you think it is worth it, at the end of the day John Carmack and other really amazing figures are sitting dinning there. So you give your information relucantly.

Then they let you in and, as you approach the dining area you realize that there's a VERY LOUD SOUND coming from a sound system. You pay attention to the sound and realize that it is basically a bunch of advertisements blasting one after another. The main problem is that the sound is so loud that you know it will interfere with your talk with other people in the table.

You sit down and start interacting with the party. You spend some time, talking loudly so that your stories can get through the advertisment noise. You share some pictures and anecdotes, and even find out that the person in front of you may want to buy the used bycicle you want to get rid of.

Suddenly as you are enjoying your steak and chatting about your home state with a random person, a waiter comes in along with a security guard and grab you by the arm. They won't tell you what happend, but they pull you out of the table and take you to the restaurant door. Once there (after the noise of the ads has diminished) you ask them what is going on, why did they take you out? They just say "sorry, you violated our terms and conditions, you have been banned" and close the restaurant door behind you.

So you are left outside lookig at the dinner. You either fight to get in again, or just go your home, fix some dinner and watch a movie. Is it worth it to knock on the door and try to argue your way to the restaurant? Where you know they will treat you really bad and the noise of advertisement is terrible?

This is where I argue that for me, it is not worth it at all. But for some reason we have been "desensitized" to lower our bar for online services. I don't think I would even stay in a restaurant that was blasting advertisements that interferred with my communication. Maybe I'm just grumpy and getting old.

That discussion is from 2018, that was 4 years ago. Surely things have improved somewhat since then.

> So the question is: Is the reduction of participants from the higher technical requirements significant enough that it weakens Bitcoin? (I honestly don't know.)

No, that's far too simple of a question. A better is: where do you find the balance between technical requirements for the network and the usability of the network for end user?

It makes perfect sense that as the usage grows, the network will become more expensive to operate. More users is more data, and more bandwidth. If you just refuse to increase the requirements an inch, you're refusing to support the growing userbase.

Many other projects have to make such decisions. Your space sim gets more popular -- that costs more bandwidth, requires more polygons on the screen. Do you bump up the system requirements, or do you stall your growth to allow 10 year old hardware to be usable? And pretty much all of them bump the requirements. You can't play modern games on a 386.
