In light of this potential new paradigm it's bewildering how people still manage to focus on the license of training material as if it even moved the needle in this context, even a little bit.

OSS knights: THE LICENSE.

MS: Aight, I guess we have a few lines of hq src to help out with…

Github: Same.

Other OSS people: We really don't care one way or the other.

As long as the word of the lincense was upheld for another 2 weeks before it ceased to matter for the rest of all time.

Jesus fucking christ. People. I get that oss licensing is dear to the collective hn heart – but, at best, it's completely irrelevant in regards to where this will inevitably lead, regardless of current questions/issues with license violations. You can (if all the repos of MS and Github are not enough to train this thing on, which is a laughable idea) even fucking buy additional source code if that's what it takes to strengthen Copilots legal foundation. The cost is insignificant. People will be happy to sell for super cheap. It's a non issue.

Why do you wilfully choose to be distracted instead of facing and thinking about the future together?
> I’m genuinely disturbed to see how many people in this thread think that casual plagiarism is the norm for “usual devs”.

I'm disturbed it is likely the reality.
Reading many of the comments here I feel like one important thing is being left out that is not related to legal, but to social issues:

Who is on the side of open source? Where are the big, powerful institutions and companies that deeply care about authors and communities providing free software that so many of us rely on?
yes that has always bugged me. it seems like in the rare cases where someone actually wants the .tar on the desktop, there could be a different "extract tar" or "extract inner" for that.
It'd be nice to see some proof here. Copyright is not absolute and does not extend, for example, to things that have no creativity in them. There are only so many ways to write a for loop or an if condition. Training an ML model from a large body of code IMHO violates copyright no more than any of us reading code and learning from it, as long as GH Copilot doesn't spit out code that's exactly the same as something already existing.
Not to mention the abysmal position of women in the book. Did you know that there are zero women in The Hobbit? Not to forget the thinly concealed racism.

I've read the book many times, but recently, I can't enjoy them anymore like I used to.
Probably not.

For 1-1 backed coins there is a tension between:

1. It is crypto so there are
no AML/KYC controls beyond the initial issuing of the currency and converting it back.

2. As a result they have to operate in dodgy jurisdictions.

3. Which means you can’t trust them.

For algorithmic coins the collateral being an unbacked coin means it could collapse. If well collateralised there just wont be many in circulation.

Have you looked at dvc www.dvc.org? Takes a little bit to figure out how you want to handle the backing store (usually s3) but then it's very straightforward. You could do a similar pattern: have a data repository and simply move the git HEAD to the desired spot and dvc automatically adds/removes the data files based on what's in the commit. You can even version binaries, without blowing up your .git tree.
What’s funny is the publishers asked for another Hobbit, and Tolkien even started writing one (the early chapters have a more hobbity tone with thinking foxes, etc) but then went in a completely different direction and depth.
One of the earliest examples was Copilot printing Quake's fast inverse square root verbatim, including swearing in a comment.

Quake's source code is GPL.

Both things can be true. It's clear that it violates the licenses of many software projects. But I do agree that denigrating it as "just selling other peoples code" is missing the whole point of the product and of what you pay for when you subscribe to it.

> they had a great opportunity to do something interesting and alien with the music

In their defense, as a film score alone, disregarding the source material, at least they had a score—unlike most subsequent action/adventure movies, e.g. 21st century DC and Marvel movies with some incidental mood sounds in the background but never a melody to be heard.

But yes, I've only read Hobbit and the first few chapters of Fellowship, but to me Bo Hansson's 1970 album better evokes Middle-earth than Shore's score.
I'd like this as well. As a workaround for now, you can right-click drag the icon elsewhere in the same directory/desktop. This will pop up the legacy context menu with 7-Zip available for use.

I'm sure the MS lawyers thought long and hard about this and are patiently awaiting any actual lawsuits with confidence in their position. It would be very hard to prove ownership of any snippets. To the point where you can argue that it is just fair use and to the point where companies would think long and hard before committing any resources to fighting MS on this in court at great expense.

I don't think that will happen but it might be interesting if it did.
Basically they've taken a step further with censorship of all media not controlled by government which at the time (2014) couldn't been penalized whatsoever.
Bad comment. First, can you please name the founder? Because according to wiki Ilya Segalovich never lived in Israel and Arkady_Volozh lives in Tel Aviv (Not a settlement). Both Jewish, so why present it as some "must-be-hidden-cause" connection with Israel?

Also, nothing shady from Israel side in term of sanctions. They have a large Jewish community in both Russia and Ukraine and need to be on good term with both to have their gov helping in supporting (or evacuating) them. Not to mention Russia has heavy presence in Syria which borders Israel. A conflict with Russia without anything like a NATO back is out of the question.
That's not what "efficiency" means, though. The efficiency of a power source is the ratio between the actually generated work and the work that could theoretically be generated.

Book Summary – How to Know Everything by Elke Wiss
Billions of years of conflict and selection lead to you. Anyone alive today is the product of a crazy amount of competition over time.

That is a pretty impressive lineage, no matter who you are. I know why people see a direct line to this or that ancient tyrant as special, but it is a ridiculously fine distinction, comparatively.
It’s also kind of an explanation for why England has no magic left. As you move forward in time the magical races and beasts all slowly die out. In the Hobbit the last dragon dies. In LOTR we see the elves leaving Middle Earth, the last march of the Ents, the end of the rings of power, the end of the wizards, the killing of a Balrog.. setting up the age of Men. And as you go further back in time it gets even more magical and outlandish.
If you just throw the attestation away (or do something morally equivalent, like log it and then only read the logs once in the first week when you're interested) then you annoyed the user (this prompts me to permit attestation, and explicitly refuse) for no purpose. Hopefully in authentication it's not necessary to explain why higher friction is not good.

If you use the attestation to make decisions (e.g. allow Yubico products, refuse everything else) now you've got the burden of those decisions. You need to stay on top of new products, evaluate them and decide what's acceptable. For a private site you can control the burden by e.g. requiring employees to use the company branded Yubico authenticator, and just making sure you allow any new batches Yubico ships when you buy more, but for a public site this is definitely a real piece of work for a small team.

If you're doing that work - to what end? Do you have the information to make wise choices? I think the user is far more likely to know whether the authenticator suits their purpose than you. They may know that - because they're constantly working with abrasive chemicals using their bare hands - their fingerprints are trash and so the fingerprint reader you recommend doesn't work, they go with the PIN entry device. Or despite your preference for USB-C they work all day with servers that only have USB-A ports so they want a USB-A authenticator.

For a private site you actually might have policy coming from above that's most easily implemented using attestation. Like stupid password policies, at some point you've told the Powers That Be what you recommend, they've ignored it, you just do what they said and roll your eyes. On a public site it's just crazy.

Attestation compromises FIDO's "Relying parties shouldn't care what the authenticator is" design because now you do care what the authenticator is. So as a purist that's enough reason to rule it out.
I think we're already seeing that in recent French elections. I have a feeling this is only the beginning.

As a relatively neutral party in all of this whose country hasn't tainted itself (but who nevertheless spent all my live under a similar autocracy), I can't help but shake my head at keyboard revolutionaries who definitely would have overthrown the regime, if only they lived in Russia. You just have no freaking idea what you're talking about. Guard your democracy as best you can so you don't have to find out.

Before 1993, was there really a distinction between USENET and the early Internet? It seems that most of the geekery that you refer to took place on newsboards as opposed to the ostensibly more serious nets like BITNET/NSFNET.
That's a great example -- I know people who have that and feel a religious zeal for it. That "religious zeal about a technical / science created with art and care" book is the feeling I'm really after.

This.

One of the "bugs" created a system of epic items. Rares.

Rare items were random objects that normally could not be obtained by players. Due to bugs, items that were only meant for decoration etc, were available to players.

For example a pair of shackles in a dungeons that were supposed to be locked down as a decoration item. On every server restart these shackles would become "unlocked" from the ground and players could grab them. They would then go to a grey market where there was a big trade for rare items.

There were some rare items that were only available once per server. Mind you, if a player lost them they were simply gone. One of the greatest rares was a piece of cloth with a rainbow pattern that wasn't available anywhere else in the game.

> So when they started tearing down some of the dilapidated houses in our neighborhood, he said “Boy, they’re tearing down neighborhoods and building buildings.” That phrase has just stuck in my mind. There’s a difference between a neighborhood and a building. And it may be a subtle difference, particularly when you’re young, that you miss. But as life goes on, you see that a building and a neighborhood are two entirely different things. You can have really nice buildings and a horrible neighborhood, and you can have awful buildings and a wonderful neighborhood.

I know he's talking about the inner cities, but if you examine endless suburban developments and cul de sacs, you get the same result. The same social isolation exists there, too.
Can anyone recommend an archive format that is better than zip and tar? I don't like tar because I can't list or extract from the archive without decompressing everything , zip is problematic on some systems due to legacy crap, and I want strong encryption and good compression by default that also won't be screwed up by legacy systems. Rather use a brand new format that can't be accidentally screwed up on some systems by some clients
> once you have a general file-system representation format (with all its complexities) adding compression of the blobs seems a minor addition

That's a vacuous statement, since there will never be a "general file-system representation format"; that's my point. Even if someone collected together all the features of every filesystem ever developed, that would still ignore those which haven't been invented yet.

Further, it requires a choice of which compression algorithm? What about those that haven't been invented yet?

These problems only arise if we want to define "one true archiver+compressor". If we keep these concerns separate, there's no problem: we choose/create a format for our data, and choose/create a compressor appropriate to our requirements (speed, size, ratio, availability, etc.)

> .tar.xz will never be able to do that, if I try to compress 10 copies of the entire firefox codebase, it will never be able to recognize the duplicated files; only something like a file-system+compression could do that

This seems to miss my point, in several ways:

Firstly, xz has a relatively small dictionary, so your use-case would benefit from an algorithm which detects long-range patterns. Choosing a different compression algorithm for a .tar file is trivial, since it's a separate step; whereas formats like 7zip, zip, etc. lock us in to a meagre handful of hard-coded algorithms. That's the point I'm trying to make.

Secondly, .tar is designed for storing what it's given "as is": giving it hardlinked copies of the Firefox source will produce an archive with one copy and some links, as expected; giving it multiple separate copies will produce an archive with multiple copies, as expected. That's not appropriate for your use-case, so you would benefit from a different archive format that performs deduplication. Again, you're only free to do this if you don't conflate archiving with compression!

In your case, it looks like a .wim.lrzip file would be the best combination: deduplicating files where possible, and compressing any long-range redundancies that remain. This should give better compression, and scale to larger sizes, than either .tar.xz or .7z

(Note that WIM seems to also make the mistake of hard-coding a handful of compression algorithms, so you'd want to ignore that option and use its raw, uncompressed mode. My brief Googling didn't find any alternative formats which avoid such hard-coding :( )

I believe you're confusing the amount of A100 graphics cards used to train the model (the cluster was actually made up of 800 A100s), and the amount you need to run the model :

> It was tested on 4 (A100 80g) and 8 (V100 32g) GPUs, [but should work] with ≈200GB of GPU memory.

I don't know what the price of a V100 is, but given $10k a piece for A100s we would be closer to the $60k estimate.
I share the same sentiment. With all the replies you're getting, it seems like there could be a market for a solution. Not sure what that would be. Maybe a shoe finder app similar to ammoseek? Maybe a crowdsourced database of which current shoe model is rhe closest replacement to an outgoing one (like a dependency tree but for next closest shoe)?
