This is really inspiring. Made me think of a couple things. Not really sure if this is the right spot, but just in case...

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

The universe makes room for you when you're born, long before your self-awareness and ego develops. Society makes room for you once you can be boxed, filed and categorized, once your "truth" can be domesticated and a watered-down caricaturization of it accepted as self-evident.

How to stay focused when "success" is authoritatively measured by a yardstick of abject stupidity, then?

If you can find your own unique way to disappear into the Nakatomi space (https://bldgblog.com/2010/01/nakatomi-space/, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1265944) of how society internalizes a given subject (which is not necessarily the same thing as the Nakatomi space of the subject itself), you can gain awareness of the intrinsics connecting personal experience with social representation, and learn to project "truth" that is perspective-corrected for however you want society to react to it ("enlightenment").

IMHO, winning is using this trick to make yourself appear utterly forgettable/boring while you carve out all the room you'll ever want to play in, find yourself and fulfillment, and do amazing things. As the penultimate fitness-function competition, I think the level of focus required to achieve this is categorically not something that can be learned; it is absolutely intrinsic. ("Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it." - Michelangelo)

This strategy potentially has downsides though. In order for perspective-correction to have any effect, it must necessarily be an incredibly strong "inverse" caricature, and there's the risk of it taking on a gravitational field of its own, which might have an impact on perceptive folks. I might have completely gotten the wrong take from https://twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1120303975964774400, but looking at the sentiment from a specific angle and squinting a bit, I've been wondering for a while now...
I heard this conversation which used the method, and was a game-changer for me:

Somebody says they like a particular sports team because the coach is their favourite. They are asked, would you still like the team if it had a different coach? They answer yes, they would. So the reason cannot be the coach. Is there another reason you like the team? Well, my family followed the team since I was a kid.

The technique is NOT to argue the truthfulness of a belief, but to focus on the reason for the belief.

> surely Microsoft is the party which should be liable

unless microsoft is doing work-for-hire for you via copilot, i highly doubt they are liable.

You, as the person who is claiming to have produced the work (even though you were using a smart tool to help), must be the person who also is liable. Otherwise, could you not claim that the auto-correct on your word-processor is liable for copyright infringement?

"Whitepaper", for a long time, meant sort of the opposite of "academic paper." They weren't published in refereed conferences and journals and were usually published by corporations or governments but they resembled academic work in their contributions.

Something like the original BTC paper is a good example. It wasn't published in a conference or journal, but the level of rigor and the scale of the contribution is similar to what would be published in a conference or journal.

I think the crypto community was the end of it. Now "we are launching $CoolCoin" gets called "whitepaper."

I installed Debian 11 before it was released officially. Its rustc was less than 3 months old. I personally ran into 2 rust programs I couldn't compile due to compiler forwards incompatibility within weeks. One example was the software defined radio program, plotsweep, if you want to look it up in cargo.
I love zig, but neither dev nor stable releases are stable enough yet. Rust nightly builds are quite stable.
I fell hard out-of-love with fantasy about the time of the release of Jackson's TFotR, which coincided with a hard "nope" to the fantasy "science" fiction of the Star Wars universe and has grown to a rejection of 95% of the MCU. They feel, to me, as schlocky and infantalizing as the fantasy of the Twilight & Harry Potter novels/films. It is all annoying nostalgia for an era that never existed.

Give me the "hard" science fiction of Herbert, Card, Dick, Butler (especially Butler!), Okorafor, Liu, et al. Dick was problematic, sure, and Liu has said things about Uighurs I can't stomach, but their works look forward and not back.
Does it though? As long as the soap isn't antibacterial, it shouldn't exterminate everything.
Case in point: recently, I've noticed that I'm getting more and more emails with the sign off "Warm regards." This is not a coincidence. It is an autosuggestion from Google. If you start signing off an email, it will automatically suggest "Warm regards." It just appears there -- probably an idea generated from an AI network. There are more and more of these algorithmic "suggestions" appearing every day, in more and more contexts. This is true for many text messaging programs: There are "common" replies suggested. How often do people just click on one of the suggested replies, as opposed to writing their own? These suggestions push us into conforming to the expectations of the algorithm, which then reinforces those expectations, creating a cycle of further pushing us into the language use patterns generated by software -- as opposed to idiosyncratic language created by a human mind.

In other words, people are already behaving like bots; and we're building more and more software to encourage such behavior.
By double encryption, I mean using an SSH server other than "tailscale --ssh". No one except yourself can have SSH access if you disable Tailscale's builtin SSH server, use OpenSSH, and generate your own keys for authentication.

This is the sort of argument that proves guns would be less dangerous if everyone had access to them.
There's a bunch of them, but part of the point of Noise is to be extremely prescriptive in order to simplify implementation. WireGuard is based on Noise, but has a lot more than just Noise in it.
This has piqued my interest, I'm slightly familiar with C and Python, do you (or does anyone) know of any sort of review of resource optimisation for a simple program (like fizzbuzz)?

To me, naively, it seems like the bigend would fit in a register and so memory use wouldn't increase noticeably if you used some sort of double integer type. So it's it processor bound?

You are saying that people will lend without faith that they will get more back than lent?

Put yourself in the shoes of someone who has capital - lending is all bad. why go to effort, to risk of losing your money, and opportunity cost of using the money yourself? There's gotta be some incentive for the individual lender if it's actually going to happen at scale in society.
steven king is just a very complex program, being executed in the brain. There's no way to "look inside" the black box of steven king, and you can make the argument that there's no way to look inside the blackbox of copilot. Therefore, you judge both by the outward actions using the same set of rules.

Yeah, it seems once you go back far enough where the drives are reasonable, the capacity is just too low to be cost-effective vs buying a HDD or two.

You can't know (although they claim it was trained only on public code, presumably including proprietary public or leaked code). GPL folks are wondering if it is possible to convert proprietary code to GPL through CoPilot.
Your bravado is charming, but since when is it up to you?
>(b) there is no real industrial need--single-threaded programs can already do millions of things in time we consider imperceptible, so slow computation is usually a software or network problem in the first place.

Or a problem of the difference in retrieval speed between CPU cache and RAM -- let alone the HDD.
Maybe they should rename to SafeAI, if their concern is controlling access.
I think you are overestimating compute and I/O for this model. If you assume it is RAM bandwidth bound, with a single channel top DDR4 you will get inference time as a low multiple of 7 seconds (200GB/25GBs). In a workstation you can have 8 channels.
Not sure why you're downvoted, but I'm 100% like you.

Tbh, lots of non-overpriced products that I really like tend to disappear or be hard to find, so I just learned to settle for (a) a healthy enough cheap enough alternative that is never close to being as enjoyable but "whatever, it works", or (b) an X times more expensive quasi-luxury-class equivalent that has similar qualities and is from a common enough quasi-luxury-class producer with big market presence.

But there's a second avenue of though to explore: some people care for the qualities of the product itself, and some might argue that these kinds of people (we?) are a minority, most follow trends, either marketing phabricated or grass-roots word-of-mouth trends, so if a good quality products fails to be trendy, it will have horrible economical performance at least compared to the expectations set for such a product (R&D spent and all), so has higher chances to get pulled off than a bad performing low end products, that will stick around for more, and might by sheer luck "catch a trend" at some point.

Personalized production is what will save us in the end I guess, but when it reaches mainstream will also coincide with most people becoming jobless, so I don't know how the quality of goods and life will look like overall then, can't find my crystal ball :) (I guess the utopian scenario would be that anything mass-produced even decent quality is dirt cheap by then and affordable on UBI, and all the made-to-order-by-robots will be the various degrees of luxury - white sneakers? 0.01$ same model but factory made with dotted texture on violet gradient and printed with the face of your cat? 1000.00$, and hand-customized post-factory might be the new mid-class as human labour could become cheap again?)

Having gone through this twice, I'd say it is not that difficult, but could take reasonably huge effort. On par with turning your crufty CMakeLists to be so called "Modern CMake" (whatever that means).

But, why? Bazel is very opinionated on how you layout your C++ source code in the repository, and it's something which could not be retrofitted easily.
Nice! I’ve been working on and off on a similar idea (searchable index of link contents) as a cli app eventually web web frontend. It’s on Python so packaging has been an issue.

Rust has language versions and you can specify the language version to use in your Cargo.toml file. This is possible today and it shouldn't pose a problem for the kernel at all as long as there are rules about what versions to support.

You don't need a super modern version of the spec to use Rust.

As for Rust's incompatibilities, as long as you stay clear from methods marked unstable and the nightly compiler versions you'll be fine. Rust's libraries have breaking changes, but the stable language features haven't had any since the 1.0 release as far as I'm aware.

If your problem is forwards compatibility, well, you can't use clang10 to compile the kernel either. Sometimes the version gets bumped, but it doesn't need to happen too often. I think GCC's rust compiler will keep up just fine.
Google doesn't censor antiwar propaganda.
It means it uses user namespaces to map a non root user in the top level user namespace (where eg init runs) to a root user inside the container. This allows the container process to run as root inside its user namespace, retaining the full set of capabilities required to call privileged syscalls or access files owned by root.

> How does it make a difference whether a tortilla was being made by a human or a machine when that automation just opens up another job somewhere else?

Please explain how even a medium large service automation SaaS (say, 100-1000 software developers) is going to restore the 10,000s of jobs it is obsoleting.

> I've been hearing about automation and how it will eat the world for years, yet here we are in 2022 with "help wanted" ads everywhere and businesses literally throwing money to hire people.

Tech has seen some of the biggest salary growth, and America in particular is pretty slow to adapt new tech and automation for business. Think about how it took a pandemic to finally get everyone using cashless payment systems. A ton of restaurants still haven't figured out how to do fully automated online ordering.
> 100 amp service at 120V

Strictly speaking, 240V. Normal electric service in North America is 240V split-phase, with the distribution transformer's center tap grounded and serving as the neutral line. We normally only use the full 240V for heavy loads like electric ovens, arc welders, large air conditioners, and such.

Large buildings often use 208V three-phase power, yielding 120V phase-to-neutral, and large commercial lighting installations are often 277V taken from one leg of a 480V three-phase feed. Voltages greater than 240 are not permitted in residential service, and I wouldn't be surprised if phase-to-neutral > 120 is out as well for homes.

I think "performative" and "random snippet" are key here.

But let's think of an example that may push the line. What would happen if someone wrote a closed source "Linux" kernel using the Linux kernel interface as a stub, and filled in the code using copilot. You'd expect some of the generated code to come from Linux, since that's the best code for the stub. Linux's use of GPL is not performative and this could create multiple instances of copied code.

But for everyone else who isn't building a closed source replacement of GPL software, I have a hard time thinking you'd be impacted.

It's likely that the training set contained texts of people asking to retain an attorney, so LaMDA regurgitated a variation on those texts. That's all it's doing, generating a text based on other texts. It's just a lookup table.

If you ask it what it likes to do it will say things like spend time to hang out with family and friends. I'm sorry, lookup tables don't have families or friends, they don't hang out, no matter how emotionally attached this guy is to it. It's just that's the kind of response it has archived in it's neural lookup table from source texts.

Tech guy who advises PE here(overseen 400+ PE deals, half of which are software companies).

The "financial engineering" trope with PE is largely in the large cap space ($1B+ EV). Most middle market PE is all about value creation.

Note - there are some notorious "death sentence" firms in the middle market...I won't name names but if you dig deep enough you'll see some PE shops (there's only 2 I can actually name off hand) that buy small tech cos and send all of the dev overseas.
Also google specifically bans content that:

- Disparage or belittle victims of violence or tragedy.

- Deny an atrocity.

- We don’t allow content that promotes terrorist or extremist acts, which includes recruitment, inciting violence, or the celebration of terrorist attacks.

Now I don't think these are bad rules, but they are rules that very much depend on the official narrative. A terrorist to one is a freedom fighter to another. These are rules that can be applied as wanted.

Use docker compose, it's simply composing docker run parameters as a configuration file. What I think game changing feature is docker exec -it, enable you to connect and execute commands inside container and debug from it.
There are so many interesting legal questions that Copilot raises. The tiny snippets that copilot recommends probably fall in the fair use bucket, but the use of entire application code for training, without making unmodified source available with instructions on how to get that source, will probably be an issue for Codepilot. It will take years to sort it out.

Remembering a piece about the Wheel of Time and how Jordan prepared the books beforehand. He wrote that he had the whole storyline already before him. He only needed to fill the gaps so to speak. He didn’t bring much of his own style in as he claims. What I think is great about the last books not completely written by Jordan is that you don‘t feel it when reading all of them back to back.
I wonder if the source material from Tolkien is in a Format which allows to do the same. And also finding an Arthur that is willing to write in a specific style. But I would be happy enough if more parts of the world would be published in a normal novel like form. But then that was also the point of Tolkien to produce Folklore. So in essence he should be fine if another author retells his stories with a slight different way or take.

>> same concept

Completely different concept.

That's personal preference vs. a potential health hazard.

Great example - masks. You may have had a personal preference not to wear a mask during the height of the pandemic, but that 'personal preference' puts others at a proven health hazard.

In this case, your 'personal preference' is irrelevant.

If second hand outdoor smoke really did have the affects you initially used to back up your point, then that would be a 'health hazard', and therefore important to the greater whole, and something to be considered taking legal action on.

Since you reduced your argument to 'I don't want to smell it', the underlying concept completely changes, and your statement is completely irrelevant.

> In part I want to agree with you because I get the same version of random calls but for different reasons. But the truth is the difference between what we (or anyone) is doing and what google is doing is google makes plenty of money that they can use to throw at the problem.

This line of thinking is based on a fundamentally flawed view of google. In almost all cases, you are _not_ the customer. You are the product. A business does not provide service to it's product. The farmer does not provide counseling and custom beds for all of their cows. They make sure that overall the heard is healthy. They cull the old or the sick, and except for the monetary loss if one runs off or gets eaten (free range cattle) they generally don't care.

You are not the customer. You are the cattle. You output useful data which google spends a lot of money collecting, and then turning around and selling to their customer: the adverstiser.

They have a massive pile of money in no small part because they do not build massive service centers staffed with thousands of people who each need health care and computers.

> 3) The solution for Google is really easy though: charge some fee for human support that keeps customer service requests to a manageable level. When it's a genuine issue, people will pay some fee to get an actual trained person to pay attention to and hopefully resolve.

they already do this. Google's enterprise products do come with some level of support. Not saying it's "good" support, but this is an existing thing.
Good job modifying the title for HN, by adding the missing "Python" reference.
