>I sleep with one airpod/bluetooth headphone in. I have ADHD and if I'm not tired enough I'll wake up around 2-4 to pee then be awake thinking about work/family/stupid things I did 10 years ago. I don't know how I got started doing this but now I listen to an audiobook at very low volume on a 15 minute sleep timer

Wow, this is me, I do the exact same thing. Concentrating on the audio gives me something different to focus on and inevitably puts me back to sleep.
I don't know if that's a lot of return on investment over six years. I love being able to bike in protected bike lanes but the numbers, I would say, are dismal:

>"While the growth rate change during each year was modest, the accumulated impact over the study period was more substantial – a growth rate in bicycle counts of 69% over the 6-year study period. Locations with an on-street bike lane, also showed growth though at a lower rate than protected bikeways. On average, these on-street bike lane locations saw 99 more cyclists on average during the peak period and a similar rate of increase in ridership over time compared to locations without facilities (26% increase over 6 years)."
You're not going to become dependant on someone's 2nd hand vape either.
Ask HN: How are you tracking your website performance? Are you doing it at all?
That just further supports the claim that copilot is in the clear - it is clearly a separate work with many underlying works.

Of course the code copilot generates may violate GPL, but that’s up to the tool’s wielder to determine. Just as it is when searching for code on the internet, consulting books, recalling past knowledge, etc.

I don’t even use copilot (I had early access and discovered programming languages are better for unambiguous encoding logic than English, go figure). I’m just sick of all these supposed craftsmen blaming their tools rather than holding themselves accountable for what they commit.
Wealthy white people have, historically, excluded people of color from their communities in USA. This resulted in strange phenomenon like, when nonwhite people gained enough access to live in cities, wealthy white people left those areas and also politically fought against social services that would benefit the city. For example: When it was ruled black people should be allowed to swim in public pools, primarily white neighborhoods shut down their public pool systems.

When in reference to exiting to oceans and islands, wealthy people have benefited from the stable society in which their wealth grows in. Their properties are protected by police enforcement, etc. In return they are supposed to pay taxes to fund the society their wealth grows in. When they exit to oceans/islands, they take their wealth with them, and society doesn't benefit from the investment in allowing wealthy people to grow their wealth within them (eg. the policing of wealthy property vs the policing of tax fraud).
One idea would be to cover bike paths with solar panels.
Well as usual this is implying that all of the money sunk somewhere but in order to get the wheels rolling in the govermental branches you need to actually have multiple commities etc.

Of course you can replicate your prototype for one day of work. There are even muliple libraries which you can just drop in place, but none of them have gone trhough law approval (sorry i dont know how to call it better in english).

At least in europe most of that money would have gone to all the bodies that are testing the solution and are actively trying to poke holes into it. Therefore yes consultants and lawyers as always. But the slight difference is that your system will actually adhere to law.

Or differently put: its not so much about recognizing the plate but more about what happens after, before and inbetween with the data.

The cyberpunkesque solution for sure just sends your plate to a central server that will log any way it came into contact with that plate, but a data protective view of this will download only the license plates that it hunts for and will beep when its in the local database.

I am aware that this also has a local database but I do not mean the locality of the data but rather the number of plates you need to actually scan for at any given time. Just like how you would like the top 50 on the most wanted list found, but not to be interrogated on the street if you know someone you never heard of.
It seems like Microsoft could be in the clear on the basis of it being essentially "search". But it also seems like anyone who uses it could be risking to a high degree getting infected with copyright violating code.

My question is, if it isn't a copyright infringement issue to use copilot in its current form right now, why not just claim copilot was used whenever accused of copyright infringement hence forth?
Because they designed and marketed specifically to teenagers and singlehandedly undid decades of progress in public health probably, if I had to guess.
That’s I guess an issue for cache header instructions to solve.

With 200 codes being cached you still will have problems like stale data. Wouldn’t want the Target registers using yesterdays prices for today (especially if yesterday was a super sale day like Black Friday etc).
How about a simple compromise - ban all tobacco and vape marketing?

You want to smoke? Vape? Fine. But let's not create a profit motive for anyone to actively work on getting people addicted to this shit.
I mean honestly how many adults just decide "Im going to start smoking cigs". If I had to bet, I would say 80% of all smokers began smoking when they teenagers. Teens are still developing and cannot make proper "adult" decisions. Big tobacco whether they want to admit it or not knows they must go after teens because if they don't trying to convince a 35 year old with three kids to start doing something that they have never done is damn near impossible...

Its the same strategy that some companies use where they work with the earliest stage companies, i.e. Stripe, and they grow with them. In an extremely perverted view, big tobacco just wants to grow with their customers hahaha.
And why would their choices be so different to their counterparts in Europe? Especially Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, France, UK etc? Their counterparts in China?

If the infrastructure is built for a certain vehicle then it's not really a choice is it?
Some real fun horseshit is that the stockers are "designated business owners" and cashier's are "guest advocates"

I actually feel that some of the cannon changes detracted from the dune universe, which is even worse than not adding anything to it.
I'm conflicted about this. On one hand it seems kind of silly but on the other I do feel like different countries ought to be able to try out different rules and laws. The globalized tech industry means the entire world looks through the same lens and I think there's a lot lost there.
You should try podman instead. The rootless version obviously can’t bypass UFW. When I tested podman as root it also didn’t punch holes into UFW. Not sure how it is today however.
Yes, I suppose an ounce of Draino is better to drink than a gallon.

I can’t believe my original comment is being downvoted; I enjoy nicotine. I spent most of my early 20s smoking.

It’s pure fantasy and intellectual dishonesty to label vaping as a healthier alternative to smoking. Either way you’re a slave to nicotine. Acknowledge it and be okay with it and the adverse health effects likely to strike you — heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, kidney disease — or quit.

But don’t lie to yourself that there’s any modicum of an argument to be made about healthy alternatives.
This exchange is quite telling:

You maybe missing the trees for the forest. Global or local mean or median temperature is a nebulous (no pun intended) indicator. It's the increases in daily weather variance, incomprehensibly-fast melting of major glacial masses, rising sea levels, and frequency and intensity of storms, fires, famines, and species' extinctions that are the "forest". These are consequences of anthropogenic GHGs that reduced Arctic sea ice (nearing an inevitable blue ocean event) and increased global sea thermal energy absorption which destabilized the jet stream from more predictable cycles. GHGs lead to a -11 F snowpocalypse in Austin, megadrought in US West and SW, "Hurricane Alley" shifting eastward, 100 F in the high Arctic town of Verkhoyansk, water trains of India, and slumping and melting of Siberian and other permafrost areas releasing absurd amounts of methane.

The variance (locally) is shown in the plots. What do you see re: variance?

"Incomprehensible" glacier movement? As I understand it nine time in the life of the human species the glaciers have advanced to cover much of N. America and then retreated to where there was little or no polar ice at all.

Frequency and intensity of storms? I suggest downloading the data on all hurricanes for the last ~100 years (as long as they've been recorded) from the NOAA national hurricane data center. I did that. I plotted it. Guess what I found?

Fires... I lived in Napa California during the big Napa fires. How much was due to climate change, and how much was doe to terrible forest management by the forest service and the state? (don't thin the forests, don't clear dead trees, etc).

Species diversity is very complicated. A whole different matter. So much to say at another time.

Famines? Have you looked at famines vs. time for the last 1000 years? Other than the global covid mismanagement disasters of 2020-2022 (lockdowns, etc) famines are becoming a thing of the past - though if we continue killing our soils with mono-crop soy, etc they will recur.

Arctic (and Antarctic) sea ice is another deep topic.

Austin was a fluctuation. They happen. Don't kill your local electric utilities - you may want them when things get dicey (or icy :).

Look into the history of draughts (and floods) over the last 200 years in the W and SW US.. Write a post and send me the link.

You raise a lot of points. (or less politely, you are shifting the goalposts 12 times in one paragraph). I am just plotting local temperatures for 75-100 years. Nothing more.

After that exchange I'm fairly convinced this article wasn't written with the goal of 'doing science' however misguided.
> How much more evidence do you need to see that more liberty is better than less?

I guess a bit more than a subjective comment on HN.
Since Google came out with the Core Web Vitals it kinda became more important at my company that we track website performance on a continous basis.

We build our internal tooling with Prometheus for this, but it kinda lacks capabilities on all edges. What are you using to ensure your website performance is alrighty?
So when I ran the university website, the homepage naturally had links to other sites. One guy had this inflated sense of importance. If there weren't a lot of clicks over to his site, we should MAKE THE LINK BIGGER because people weren't seeing it. If clicks to his site went up, we should MAKE THE LINK BIGGER because it is that important. His flowchart had only one distinct outcome: MAKE THE LINK BIGGER.

All of the effort that went into collecting the information was for nought, because the outcome was always the same. That was collection with a flowchart, but without two or more distinct outcomes.

A second example would be search engine logs. Nobody wanted to make decisions on them, but "we could always trawl them for data later." A decade on, this had never occurred. That was collection with no flow chart. Offloading the logs, parsing them out, making the data available, week after week, month after month, year after year. Wasted effort.

So part of it is "don't waste effort," but the other part is, if there is decent information to collect, you should be doing something with it.
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) in tobacco smoke increase the effectiveness and addictiveness of nicotine, which practically means tobacco is dramatically more addictive than nicotine alone [0]. By switching to an alternative that contains nicotine while keeping physical sensations essentially unchanged, tobacco users can remove MAOIs from their system and then focus on the behavior (hand fiddling, inhaling) and chemical addiction (gradually reduce dosage) separately.

Beyond that, vaping is so obviously safer than smoking. It strikes me as profoundly hypocritical to ban the less dangerous alternative, while keeping the unbelievably deadly cigarettes on the market.

For and while have different semantics. For is not just sugar for a while loop, it means something more specific and restricted than a general while.

Sure. It's a funnel though. If you have no biking infrastructure some single digit percentage of people will bike regularly. If you have good biking infrastructure some likely multi digit percentage of people will bike regularly. If you have good biking infrastructure and the weather is bad you will likely have some digit percentage of people who will bike but less than those who will bike when the whether is nice.

I biked to work everyday in Chicago for years. Unless it rained or snowed. I thought the people who did that were crazy. The people who never biked to work thought I was crazy.
Tobacco use in America predates the United States. It was probably in use before alcohol.

Thankfully Shopify has a pretty massive SEO team who we've been working very closely with. Static often doesn't work well for many parts of ecommerce — but we support both sub-request and full-page caching (More here: https://shopify.dev/custom-storefronts/hydrogen/framework/ca...) and we worked with Google to make sure we're doing the right thing from their perspective — this is the recommended approach, which we took: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/javascrip...

Well, the other issue being foreign countries with government-funded militaries are unlikely to just ignore you and permanently suspend travel and diplomatic relations, and as soon as their citizens are facing threats in your paradise, those foreign militaries are likely to get involved. Major coordination problem in that ancap paradise probably only works if everyone does it.^[1] At least the communist version of utopia acknowledged this with Comintern (doomed to fail for other reasons, of course).

[1] Editing to add the note, in case David Friedman comes in here talking about medieval Iceland, I guess it can also work if the world does not yet have widespread global travel and expeditionary militaries.
The short answer is that when teenagers drink alcohol, the majority don't become habitual heavy drinkers. Smoking in high school is a very strong predictor for life-long smoking, especially for heavy smoking.

Journaling for me is an essential tool for emotional regulation and self-knowledge. This wasn't always the case because I learned in school to write for someone else. If I'm not writing for someone else then who am I writing for? I'm writing for my future self, but who is that? My future self is determined by the thoughts and experiences I am having now, so if I can understand through writing where I am now in the world then I can make better decisions about where I am going. In effect, writing is a way of programming myself. If I am to be captain of my own ship then I need to keep a log to better learn from past experiences. I've found writing is the best way to collaborate with other parts of myself as Huxley says

You're suffering from a failure of imagination.

Consider a CMS, one of the most common forms of database backed applications. What if you could give your customer a "dev" branch of all their data to make their changes on and test out new content, that you could then merge with back to prod after somebody reviews it in a standard PR workflow?

This is the workflow one of our earliest customers built. They run network configuration software, and they use Dolt to implement a PR workflow for all changes their customers make.

It's something that they are taking into account. According to the studies the FDA is basing their decision on, the smokers smoked more initially but that effect only lasted 1-2 weeks.

I thing that "big data" has simply became "data".
Wow. Pretty incredible. I don't support this industry but its pretty insane to me that a company can be regulated away in an instant like this.
So the key questions here I think are: Can an ML model "create"? Can it "own copyright"? Can it "transform"? If it can't do those things then I think the entire idea falls apart.

Separate from this, the violations are per instance, not the model itself. If I'm an author and write hundreds of non-infringing books over two decades and then suddenly write and sell a copy of an existing work, I'm not going to be sued for my other books or the reading I did to create any of it. I will be sued for the actual infringing book.

Reading the article would answer your question...
It’s complicated, because of the two-way relationship with cigarettes. If cigarettes were not anywhere in the picture, sure, but that’s not the real world.
Sure, that seems likely to me as well!

Edit: Well, maybe 20 years ago -- 10 years ago, Ruby's C API was about the same and still (IMO) better.
Fair points. My APIs have an associated constants classes/header files to define all these values.

So long as you have the source you are fine - and if you (or the third party/maintainer) don’t have the source then it doesn’t matter the approach because there will be bugs you can’t fix throughout the service.
Water seems to be pretty popular though.
I’m also not a morning person, but another reason why hard exercise wouldn’t work for me, in the morning, is that after hard exercise it takes a few hours for my brain to function properly again (someone on HN a few months ago explained its because the body prioritises getting oxygen to the muscles instead of to the brain). At least, I’m unable to work for a while after going to the gym. For this reason, I bow only go to the gym after work.

Light exercise like going for a walk is ok though.
You would be interested to know that this already exists in the form of BPF.
I think it's the opposite: Vaping is keeping people who want to quit smoking addicted to nicotine.

For most people I know the problem aren't the physical effects of addiction (those are over in a few weeks) but the peer pressure from all your friends who are still smoking.

Since they banned smoking in bars and restaurants in Austria, I saw A LOT of people quit smoking. It's really not that hard when everybody looks at you in disgust when you suck on your cigarette outside a bar.

If you offer vaping as a socially acceptable form of smoking, these people have a lot less incentive to give up nicotine, and will stick with it.

So I think that vaping is slowing the decline of nicotine, and it absolutely should be banned. (At some point cigarettes should probably be banned as well, but it's probably too early for that)

I suspect that upon "publishing" or the equivalent the company employing the developer would assume the copyright any liability attached to it that Copilot represents, rather than the idea it would all become public domain.
Tolkien said in one letter that there are female orcs. That some would become warriors is perhaps a bit of a leap.
True. Another logical fallacy propagandists use is "False Equivalency". Just because there might be some similarities between two cases does not mean they would be qualitatively equivalent in any sense. But some people will fall for that trick too, especially if they are so disposed.
> It is almost magical changing a linker flag in some bazel config and see it _only_ relink affected targets.

I think this should be expected from any modern build system. Now, if you make a whitespace change in your source file and the build system recognized this and skips recompiling it, that could pass for magic (build2 does this for C/C++ sources).
It's nearly impossible to become dependent from second hand smoke, unless you're in a gas chamber saturated with vape clouds for multiple days over and over.

I agree no one should be subjected to gross smoke against their will, but you can make a better case being accurate in it's effects.
