It's also an interesting tidbit for people that have not used copilot. It's like a fluff piece.

Present something weird that is also easily verifiable. If you are having a bit of a break and are using copilot you can try out a few things and post answers.

And now we have independent verification (unless you think all these usernames are just lying) and some interesting bits of info about copilot.
In a used copy of William Kent’s Data and Reality, I found a 3x5” index card with a handwritten note in blue highlighter. On one side, “It’s who you know, not what you can do.” On the back, “Listen to your fucking conscience.” I always wonder what the story was there. It didn’t feel like a note to self; perhaps a warning for young programmers?
Can you put that guarantee for my small business into the law?
Here's my little related story. I was in one of my fave used book stores (Baldwin's Book Barn in West Chester, PA) which is not exactly close to where I was living at the time. After browsing for an hour or so and picking out a few books, I spied a title on a top shelf that I thought was interesting but couldn't remember ever seeing before. I pulled the book down and began perusing it, and on the inside cover there was a familiar-looking stamped bookplate that said "Property of <My Name>." I was a little freaked out because I couldn't remember ever owning the book. After thinking about it a few minutes, I dimly recalled lending the book to somebody years ago and I guess it was never returned to me. When I went downstairs to the checkout counter, I showed the older man working that day my ID and the bookplate while telling my story, saying I never got a chance to read this book. He very kindly told me to just take the book and didn't charge me for it, saying "I'm just glad it found its way back to you."
I encountered this some time ago because I was working with grammatical gender. Unlike many of these comments, though, I do not take exception to it. Bias in ML is well established, and it's okay if, when we don't have solutions, we just disable it.

If your autocomplete was capable of spitting out suggestions that made you feel isolated or kept poking you in the eye about aspects of your identity, you might feel a bit better about the creators having thought about that and taken steps to avoid it happening.
I say just merge it in and stop worrying about it so much.
I worked on a video game in the late 2000s, and one of the bits of code I did was the code for filling the seats in the stadium with people. One of the artists cobbled together like 5 low poly man models and 5 low poly woman models, and you could just about tell the difference, and I put some code in there to ensure the genders were evenly distributed. (The 2 genders, I mean. Man, and woman.)

Looking back, I don't even know why I made it an enum, rather than a 1-bit bitfield called is_woman - but in the end I was glad I didn't, because the art director moaned a bit about the clothing colour distribution, and somebody asked if we could have some mascots, and there were some complaints about the unreasonable number of interesting hats. And, so, long story short, by the time we were done, we had 18 genders based on clothing colour and type of hat, 2 genders for mascot (naturally: tall, and squat), and a table to control the relative distributions.

Once we got to 5 genders I tried to change the enum name to Type - but we had this data-driven reflection system that integrated with various parts of the art pipeline, and once your enum had a name, that was pretty much that. You were stuck with it.

Is that a metaphor for our times too? I don't know. My own view is that sometimes stuff just happens, and you can't read too much into it.
I've built a DAO tool that requires passport verification and allows voting on binding proposals with quadratic voting. Each proposal defines a series of transactions to execute on chain.

Someone on Twitter reverse engineered an earlier version of the list https://twitter.com/moyix/status/1433254293352730628 and the list linked somewhere in that thread contains "gender" (see https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=32339001 for direct links).
FYI there's apparently some retcon stuff about that, e.g. maybe the Kessel run is around a particularly dangerous area of space (black holes or w/e), so accomplishing it in LESS parsecs is something to brag about ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It depends what the class was for. I had a sort of similar experience with a physics class where the professor would take a break mid-exam and just give everyone the answers, but it was a class that was a prerequisite for engineering students who didn't care and really didn't need to, and also a stepping stone for the passionate physics students who did care, but would do the heavy lifting later. The prof was well-regarded for spending his time more on helping with true understanding for the students who cared.
So I've just tested it, and I can confirm, yes, copilot refuses to give suggestions related to gender. Now I know a lot of people are calling this absurd, but looking more closely, there are two PR nightmare scenarios.

1. Copilot makes a suggestion that implies gender is binary, a certain community explodes with anger and an entire news hype cycle starts about how Microsoft is enforcing views on gender with code.

2. Copilot makes a suggestion that implies gender is nonbinary, a certain community explodes with anger and an entire news hype cycle starts...

You can't win... so why not plea the fifth?

To all those claiming this is an example of "wokeism", remember the proper response from an individual who believes in nonbinary gender would be to offer suggestions of the sort. There is no advocacy here. Mums the word.
There’s no reason to be surprised that elements within GitHub have an agenda. They’ve been clear about it since changing support for git’s master branch to main and then gaslighting the portion of community that doesn’t use the terminal about it.

Now I’ve got Gen-Z developers that are confused and upset when `git init` does what it’s always done.

GitHub, Microsoft ownership notwithstanding, was always going to inject its employees’ politics into Copilot.
or perhaps find out who is being artificially scapegoated..
There’s a zealous push by a small but extremely vocal fringe to impose their very particular worldview onto emerging AI/ML models like this.

They refer to it as “eliminating bias”, but it’s really just an attempt to mold these new technologies into conformance with one very specific set of ideological commitments.

Proponents view it as some kind of obvious universal good, and are confused when anyone else is appalled by the blind foolishness of it all.

An earlier version of the list that someone found (see https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=32339001 for links) does contain "gender", "slavery" and "master race" but not "master" and "slave" itself, ironically.

One way to tackle this would be exporting your subscriptions from Takeout as a JSON and importing it to something like Newpipe or Freetube. No ads and all the usual needed stuff without recommendations. 1 have around 170 channels by now and it should be clear that this is more than enough for consumption.
While watching videos, the sidebar still shows up so I can simple subscribe to them if I like the channel.

One of the possible explanations is maybe whenever you typed "gender" it suggested one of the two possibilities next to it or some kind of binary type which might be something github wants to avoid but I am just speculating.
I can’t really give you a fair shake without meeting you, but I can say that I appreciate your reply.

As a real psych user, you should accept that your post clearly has the subtext:

“I have everything most people want, so you’re wrong”

I, too, have everything most people “want”. Maybe we’re equally well off, maybe we’re not. I’ve still never met anyone on-level who indulges in this habit that kept it, and you should know that at our level it’s about keeping it not having it, at least for very long.
The colors in the demos reminds me of Wings3d, a 3d editor written in Erlang. It had quite a unique user interface to it, with modal bindings not unlike Vim. Are the color choices a coincidence?

At the very least we would've had the build tooling and infrastructure to support containers from the get-go, rather than having to migrate from zips to containers.

Speculative, but had we used containers from the start we would likely have built "fatter" Lambdas running full web servers with an extant web framework (someone else in this thread mentioned Flask - we don't use anything like that, we have one Lambda per... function, and our functions just consume the raw Lambda event).

Love that comparison. It also makes the distinction that this is a matter of degree; not kind.
Kind of like making vague blanket statements with no examples.
If they don't "adjust" this, each user gets a random-ish result from all the code out there-- depending on mostly-unrelated context, it suggests a lot of genders or just 2.

In turn, you can guarantee both groups of people end up upset.

Filezilla is the worst for this.
I feel like it's only going to get worse with social media.

Twitter is so idiotically designed that it just makes things worse and worse.

With Twitter, they don't distinguish between positive engagement (retweets, positive replies) and negative engagement (critical quote tweets, critical replies)... their algorithm just stupidly sees the engagement and amplifies the tweet.

There's no wonder that a lot of the most extremist politicians (on the right and left) built their followings on Twitter.

I don't mean to make it political, but the last president of the united states was able to build a massive following almost exclusively through one political platform... (which he later got banned from)

For some reason, YouTube's decided to jump on the same bandwagon by removing dislikes (if there is no feedback from dislikes, then people will stop clicking them).
> Why play the business game in nightmare mode?

Because some of us actually believe that it's unethical to release software to users that they are not 100% free to use and modify in any conceivable way.

Too many people today are hung up on "open source" or "free software" as a marketing bullet point. It's actually a philosophy and ideology, and the software licenses that came out of it are side effects.

> Pinecil from the open-source TS100 iron

The Pinecil is Pine64’s most polished product, and I congratulate them for getting such a high-quality soldering iron down to such a low price point ($26).

https://www.pine64.org/pinecil/

Even if the Pinecil weren't open hardware running on open firmware, it would still be an incredible value. But it is, and my only criticism is that the rewritten firmware flashing tool does not yet support Linux (the older version does work). Other than this, the Pinecil is a gem and an example of the Pine formula at its best.

That's odd. Their graph shows almost no reduction in immigration during 2016-2020. There's a dip in 2019, but it looks largely compensated by the spikes in years prior. I thought Trump was a xenophobe that promised a crackdown on immigration? Yet voting for him does not seem to have even dented immigration - only the pandemic had a significant effect.

I hate being obligated to file tax returns every year. Why are we all obligated to do extra accounting and legal research work every year just to settle a tax bill? It’d make more sense to only file a return if you disagree with whatever amount the irs withheld, like an appeal, but otherwise it should just be optional.

To be honest, I think most people aren't at the extreme but the most extreme voices are amplified so loudly that it seems like there are many more of them than there actually are. Unfortunately, corporations and politicians are placating these amplified voices instead of the majority of reasonable people - much to their own detriment and the detriment of of society at large.
It would sound that way, which is why CNBC made him clear up any conflicts on air. He said he currently has 7 total long positions and zero shorts and no plans to enter anything with Visa. He was stretching to find a connection with Visa and the best he came up with is that Lowes accepts visa cards
The greatest trick they pulled is convincing people like you that you have no personal autonomy.

It depends on the actor and the needs of the shot. Generally, if the camera is far back enough to show the injection and the actor's face at the same time, it's easy to use a retractable needle or just remove the needle for the final plunge.

If a highly authentic close-up shot is required for some reason, then there's an edit away from the wide shot anyway and it's easy to swap in the arm of a stunt person getting a legit poke with a syringe where the needle has no opening and the liquid goes into the plunger when it's pushed. Alternatively, for the close-up just swap in the arm of a diabetic person who needs to inject insulin daily anyway. Any serious shoot is going to have an EMT or RN on set to do the deed.

As is often the case with "movie magic", don't overthink things. When you control camera framing, editing, lighting, rigging, etc many times a cheap, fast and easy way to get the shot can be figured out.

The models output isnt racist. Racism has intent, the algo doesn't.

It can be wrong or right but it is not making a judgment based on anything outside of math.

You are correct to say the training wasn't complete but that doesn't mean anyone did anything wrong, racist, or hateful... 99% of the time it's simply a mistake.

When you label things like that as racist instead of simply mistakes you water that word down to the point where it becomes meaningless.

The problem in the last 10+ yrs of outrage internet social justice is that in order to gain attention and get traction those involved have lumped so many things into terms like racism that that it eventually becomes so stretched it's meaningless.

> They refer to it as “eliminating bias”,

I don't think, e.g. being able to handle black faces correctly is some sort of massive ideological commitment. So let's not pretend that the entire concern of bias in AI is irrelevant, no matter where you stand on gender.

> conformance with one very specific set of ideological commitments

You know-- let's just talk about basic respect and dignity: if someone strongly wants to be referred to in a particular way, the polite response is to respect their wishes. If there's a lot of people in this category, it makes sense for your system to address it.

If you instead build your system in a way that you don't achieve this, you're being rude. If you use old training data and refer to people as a "Mongoloid" as a result-- don't be surprised that people are offended. Ditto, if you use old training data about gender that doesn't match many peoples' current expectations.
I think you're wrong about that. I don't think it's the same thing I think tourists and long-term stays are fundamentally different.

Especially economically and I think that's a really important baseline that affects things a lot specifically for locals.

Because the thing is like locals can invent a tourism industry to absorb and corral you know the herds of tourists around and kind of give them as you say exaggerated you know accentuated artificial view of the culture that nevertheless gives them some sort of experience and this is sort of how the tourism industry works and so it's able to absorb those numbers and and continue on. And I think the points you make about that, while common and a bit bland (you know the "Disneyfication" of things), are nevertheless interesting and you state them pretty well I think.

But the article specifically, and the fundamental difference is, when people choose to live there they're no longer just staying to the tourist areas and no longer just shipped around by tour groups or tour buses or they're no longer sort of shepherded by the tourist industry and they're also pushing into like economic activity that affects locals specifically rents and buying up real estate right?

and the landlords then realize, "oh s** I can make more money from all this demand on all these people coming in with all this extra money so I'm going to charge more."

And I think that then has a whole lot of other effects for locals and it's just it sounds like a simple change you know, "okay well the rents get more expensive" but it's this fundamental thing that then really changes many things about a place, like in Hong Kong like in San Francisco and you can see it you know the locals are unhappy about this kind of stuff.

Now you're shifting the goalposts. You started out by claiming that web apps can't be transactional, now you've switched to saying they can't be transactional if they're "interactive" (by which you presumably mean transactions that span multiple HTTP requests).

Of course, that's a very particular demand, one that doesn't necessarily apply to many applications.

And even then, depending on the use case, there are relatively straightforward ways of implementing that too: For example, if you build up all the data on the client (potentially by querying the server, with some of the partial data, for the next form page, or whatever) and submit it all in one single final request.

Business Model for Developer Tool
I'm building a TypeScript dev tool and wondering what business model to use, it's in the web development space and competing against many open source frameworks, so I don't think closed source will work.

So, I was looking at Vercel, Supabase and Laravel as some industry examples. Laravel charges upfront and have a large userbase so I think it's doing well.

Vercel, Supabase seem to have very genorous free tiers. So, I was wondering if these models are profitable? Do they even want to be profitable or are they planning to make money be selling the business to a bigger company?

There's also Sidekiq, a job processing server for ruby, the free version of it is GPL licensed so it can be used only on other open source projects, the author is selling pro and enterprise versions that have a closed source license and extra features on a monthly subscription basis. He makes $4 million + per year by himself. I think that's pretty crazy, ideally I'd like to do a solo business too and avoid having to manage a team. But I think this is a very unicorn case. I don't think a GPL licensed tool has a good chance in the TypeScript space.

So what do you think I should I do?

Edit: I'm realizing this is a news site and not a forum. So I should probably delete this. But I can't find a delete button. :P
