I think the best answer to this is postal banking - let people open up basic bank accounts and get other simple financial services at the post office. Do it as a public service, fee free (with charges for anything beyond basic accounts to help fund it).
Horizon was horrific. The spec was so old that the contract was with colonial favourites ICL, before they were fully renamed Fujitsu. Several postmasters committed suicide when the Royal Mail initiated fraud causes against them that were caused by Horizon accounting errors.

I feel "stealing your community" is lawyer hyperbole, but people also seem ok with what MS is doing with copilot, and I am not.

If you think what copilot is doing is ok, and there is nothing wrong with it, I'd love it if you could go through this small thought exercise, and see if it impacts your view at all:

Say you write a bunch of code, and release it under GPL. For the sake of argument imagine it is something complicated that you care about.

Now say another person is trying to do what your code does, and they find your code, a say "excellent". They then copy and paste it into their project, and release their code under a BSD license instead.

Would you consider this theft of your IP? The law certainly would, and I think most devs would as well.

What would you say if they instead release "their" code as public domain?

Now we'll go a bit further. Another person is trying to solve this problem in some commercial software. They find your code, copy-paste it into their project, then sell their software and don't release the source, or even acknowledge you.

Would you consider _this_ theft? again the law would.

Now, what if instead they found your code through the invalid BSD relicense? or the invalid public domain one?

To me every one of these would be theft, and every one would be required to required to release the source of projects that made use of my GPL'd code, under the GPL. That is literally the whole point of the GPL.

But let's imagine a different route.

A person is writing some code and can't work out how to solve a problem, so they ask on StackOverflow. Now another person comes along and answer the question by copy-pasting from your project into SO. The first person says "yay!" and then copies that code, and we repeat the above scenarios.

In an even more extreme case, imagine both of the above people work at the same large company - so neither knows or is even aware of the other - how does this impact what is going on? It's two people, but fundamentally the company is copying the original GPL code into SO, then copying it from SO into its proprietary code.

I get that MS and GitHub try to position it as if copilot is "creating code", but it is simply doing a statistical code completion that is demonstrably happy to copy and paste from the original source into the recipient code. To my mind all it is doing is providing a mechanism to launder GPL (or whatever) code into your own without the license, by slapping "ML" and "AI" on the process and requiring more than 3 keys to be involved.
If it was around when you were aged 0-20 it's like water to a fish, a natural part of the environment that you accept without thinking.

If it was invented when you were 20-40 it's new but you're willing to adopt it after some consideration.

If it was invented after you're 40 it's against the natural order of things and must be destroyed.

Assuming you're talking about RFC 8981, then I don't think this actually helps as much as you would like, because typically you would have an assigned /64 and then just randomize the low order bits, but the /64 would be static and usable as a tracking identifier, as noted in the Security Considerations. And if you're in an environment where you can have randomized prefixes, you can probably also have randomized v4 addresses.
Yeah, but when couple lines match up with existing arts, you go up in flames and you change the careers. NAI is doing the first half of that.
Demand cant be equal when nothing on the desktop supported ECC for the last 22 years (2017-1995), and even now its only a select fragment of ~28% market share. Things would look different if you could reuse server ram in any desktop board. 16-24GB DDR3 ECC ram sticks sell at 4x discount compared to regular old DDR3. I havent looked into DDR4 difference.
Microsoft released a product which gives you cancer the moment you use it.

According to the opinions about what inclusion of open source code into your projects does, as per the ex-CEO of the company. That seems a bit of a far fetched conclusion, but then, Ballmer did say it.
I am curious, shouldn't our thought process be more aligned with "how can we create checks and balances so that government doesn't get to use this whenever they please?" Like, what's stopping "the government" to call a swat/missile strike to your house because they don't like you, except for these checks and balances? Surely they have all other ingredients necessary? As far as I understand government already has other ways of making your life incredibly inconvenient, so why should we try to halt what most people see as technological progress instead of trying to legislate responsible uses of governmental power?

Once again, genuinely confused about why one of these approaches are being talked about a lot more on this thread. If I am missing something very obvious, I would appreciate a pointer.
I meant why not iterate on the Hubble. Yeah, it was expensive, but probably building a few more of them would be significantly cheaper than N times the cost of making one.

Or perhaps the public should just accurately be led towards knowing the practical dangers of generative AI systems.

It's just basically a search engine, but the context is the rest of your code.

Writing software just auto-completing from CoPilot would be like trying to write a whole novel with the auto-predictive text on your phone. You could do it, but the results would be non-nonsensical and full of semantic errors. I don't think there's any real 'provenance' at play in either case.

This guy is a literal who, who is really over estimating the value of his open source contributions over a general development tool that can reduce the cognitive load of working in some hairy code bases.

I don't think it's CoPilot that's 'erasing' his, Racket, community.
True, but it doesn't mention doing so without the attribution that might be required by the code's licence. If full attribution of where the suggestion was derived from was included¹ there would be not issue IMO², it is this matter that creates the grey area which these discussions result from.

--

[1] the practicality³ of this is a different, though related, discussion

[2] because the user is fully informed and can take responsibility for the decision to use the suggestion or not

[3] or impossibility – given the code could be added by someone who doesn't include that attribution/licence information for the system to be able to pass on even if it were designed to
Wow, I had no idea there was basically a second computer hiding inside of the C128. No wonder it cost so much.
> Perhaps offer more clarity in future to avoid such confusion.

Sorry, I'll be more explicit: I give absolutely no credence to what a manufacturer "expects" or "hopes" or "strongly implies" their product to be able to do in a thinly-veiled press release, especially when they're unwilling to give any concrete facts to back those hopes up.
First question: why you need many containers for just 3000 users? That should easily run on a cheap VPS unless you're doing something ridiculously complex.

Why target any cloud APIs at all if your product have a small amount of users? You don't need to scale up/down fast at if you're just at 3000 users. Throw it on a Linux box, write a systemd service and be done with it.
What does he mean by a more tech/engineering driven company? Do you have examples? Does he mean AWS or Oracle or Azure or GCP?

Does your dad (and the cloud devops team) work with folks at their cloud provider and is it one of the big ones azure, gcp, aws. If he has close relationships with them then that might be a way in. Or is it a 3rd party contractor running the hospital-cloud interface?

There is a lot of engineering to be done at the interface level even at the devops level. Right now cloud "devops" for hospitals is a big growth area and since he has experience in in that environment, I would think the bigger cloud providers would want his expertise as a solutions/support engineer.

The other thing for him (and maybe you) to do would be to start a 3rd party cloud/devops integration company!

There are also med-tech companies that deliver services through the cloud as well. Devops itself is arguably being eaten by software as things progress (as devops ate sys admin).
As far as I can tell it's just a more convoluted way of saying "new good, old bad, only old people disagree"
> Why does that matter? This seems to me like an interesting bit of trivia about Robinson arithmetic, but I don't see why this matters to the main point. Any system less powerful than PA is trivially incomplete.

Isn't this backwards? Systems that are simple enough (e.g. Presburger arithmetic) are complete, which is what we'd expect.
Kura Sushi (https://kurasushi.com/) that's mentioned in the comments is one place, but there are also a few others whose names I can't remember in the Sawtelle Japantown. It's worth noting that Kura is highly automated and you don't have to interact directly with staff after you are seated.

All of them basically center their feel around the futuristic automation spiel.
> People's disguste is based on the assimilation of what they thought was a human trait being machine derived from their work.

No, people's disgust is with Microsoft violating their legal privileges.

> The copilot service backed by an army of actual humans wouldn’t be a story at all.

Correct, it would be an open-and-shut lawsuit.
Do you have a link for Morse Expert? It sounds like exactly what I want, but I don’t see any exact name matches when I search for it in Apple’s U.S. App Store.
I agree with your starting point, but art actually makes the questions clearer I think - having AI art "you can't tell apart" is possibly a bad thing for human producers of art (or not, obviously lots of artists don't make their art just to get paid, but if you do...), but seems like a great thing for the human consumers of art? Copiliot/tabnine etc. could certainly give you terrible suggestions, but my experience is they often help with boring scaffolding-stuff which isn't likely to be full of bad ideas, just time savings. Could they mess you up? Oh for sure. But mostly they just seem like an autocorrect that doesn't guess wrong every other time.
I did not know about this code. Just looked it up. Clever.

Does anyone know why C/K are overloaded rather than something like Q/Z?
did you achieve a "superhuman ability to navigate [your] surroundings"? :)
Sounds like a good plan - you can pay out of your own pocket to fire all these people that have jobs that don't fit your quality standards.
Unless you want competition and people to realize people would pay for such a thing
The lesson is to understand how reactivity works with the tech stack your project is built with.

This is a problem with react, and it's middlewares where things become a convoluted mess if there isn't at least one person that's experienced with what's actually happening and is attentive to avoid pitfalls with potential side-effects.

For me it was the 'magazine' style with proper breaks and editing, formatted for a vertical screen but still reads great on my laptop. The effort in the content, links and emphasis make it feel like journalism I would normally get paywalled on.
I wonder what will happen when a company pays some overseas developers $50 for some code, they copy it from Copilot and it copies a bug from a US developer and that company gets hacked for $10 million.

Will the lawsuit fall on the overseas developer, US developer or Github?
why can't we use biometrics instead

Might as well regress to hot iron cattle branding.
Should be noted that autoupdate was only ever available on macOS.
Components might be off the shelf, but integration is custom and Im guessing it has a heavy Kalman filter which wont let you just blast spoofed _elevation changed by 1000m_ GPS signal and expect it to dive dive dive.
It surely depends on the market!
What kind of machine (specs) would I need to run to self-host gitea with decent performance? Small container or EC2 instance (or droplet), etc should be enough?
Please look up the license in the source code that Tim Davis points too, it just mentions it's LGPL, but doesn't include the full license text. And none of the C code mentions a license or Tim Davis.

And if you dig further, the whole repo is mixed with BSD and LGPL "licensed" packages together. It's probably best that CoPilot does not suggest from code that does not have an explicit license stated.

I think originally Tim Davis was complaining about the non public sources for suggestions which Github CoPilot ignored.
> Well I can tell you if it actually halts: it does. By the time of the heat-death of the universe, all computers will have stopped running, so the halting problem is quite solvable.

This is wrong - see Dyson's eternal intelligence.
It seems to me that in principle it should be possible to maintain attributions through the training process, so that Copilot outputs could come with a list of weighted sources, possibly discarding those that fall below a certain weight threshold. Doing so would likely be much more expensive in terms of the computational power needed for training, and probably also in the size of the model. But it would be great to actually be able to see what went into a specific Copilot output.
By Gödel incompleteness, the fundamental axioms of mathematics actually don't quite pin down the world of mathematics the way we would perhaps like them to do. As a consequence (also a result by Gödel), there are actually many worlds of mathematics, each spelling out the basic notions of mathematics in slightly different ways.

I wondered where is this coming from.

In my case it was stemmed from my soviet socialism-communism background. So perverted slavish attitude towards money in general was deeply rooted in psychology of my family.

Realizing the roots of this helped me to overcome it and realize that every job must be paid. That money is the only measurable indicator of good.

So I would charge fair price for a jod done even if i were the richest man on earth. Just out of respect to money and to the job.

I’d probably give away the money to charity then. But this would have nothing to do with charging money in the first place.
I really wish it could infer the language from the file type. One of the things that prevents me from reaching for semgrep as often as I want to is the complexity, and having it infer language from filetype would be nice.
Two systems that produce the same output for some set of inputs doesn't show the systems are the same. My phone can produce the same results as my brain for short arithmetic problems. My phone is not a brain.

The neuroscientists I know in the field would be among the first to tell you that our ability to model the brain is nearly non existent. In fact we don't even have a great model of a single neuron [1]. This statement doesn't invalidate the work folks are doing to try and reach that goal. Biology is hard.

It’s interesting that you feel entitled to judge the mental health of a Black man who is probably at least two to three orders of magnitude more financially successful than you are.

At least try considering the possibility that his lived experience is valid.
Err...I guess you sort of answered my question since you're running it on a raspberry pi :P Performance seems just fine? Curious to hear more about your experience. Thanks!
> It would be because it's illegal and violates the licenses, desires, and intentions of the thousands of workers who wrote the code in its corpus.

I wonder how many people on HN would be on the side of the creators if we were talking about content created by Walt Disney and whether pirating was ethical?
>have taken a long time to learn to use

And, of course, it's trendy to keep "modernizing" UIs, so how to use it or any given app probably changes a fair bit every year or two.
It has nothing to do with how open the source is, but I presume you already know this and are just a trolling teenager.
OVE-20221017-0001: PolyMC appears to be compromised
The problem with your example is that
1] actually happened.
2] is a media/political fabrication being proven in a court of law at this very moment.

And to the point of this article, and many comments here, the news is much more homogenized than people think, because I'm quite sure you've heard no factual coverage of the latter from ANY pundit who sits in front of a TV camera.
Github does plenty of stuff that you can't do. e.g. the contributions graph as just one example that comes to mind.

That's not unfair, and not the basis for a lawsuit, it's just business.

> Copilot is not only making money off of open-source, they are making money off of open-source in a way others can't.

Of course! That's why MS paid squillions to buy Github.
> society that started adopting the telephone, or automobiles

Personal telephony and mechanized personal transportation have been empowering assets, extras, while transactions in the market are basics - you live and could live without cars and phones, while living without money is a completely different enterprise.

> railing against a new technology because it [has] disadvantages

That is not what the article is doing. And the real disadvantages are beyond «the discrimination of the poor and the elderly».

> People have to deal

A circular assumption in which "history justifies history" and explicitly poses nothing.
I like the type safety, but for everything else, they compete directly with Elixir too.
I feel like some unique feature might be needed.

But I hope to be wrong, syntax looks great.
As I understand it, that would be skirting the law and philosophical principles behind protectionism for intellectual labor.

If society doesn’t value commodity intellectual labor, then society may need to address the commoditization of intellectual labor, directly, through things like UBI / vocational rehabilitation, etc.

Similar arguments can be made about robots and the commoditization of manual labor.
Why can't Tim Davis (or another software author whose code is emitted verbatim by Copilot) demand that Microsoft take down Copilot, or at least the part of Copilot that contains his code?

Microsoft is distributing his software without a license, isn't it?
Downloading of jar files based on information from polymc's meta server (meta.polymc.org) applies to all versions.

They aren't ran in a sandbox or anything, so whoever controls meta.polymc.org can run whatever they want on your machine.
I find it hard to see a scenario where MS doesn’t get absolutely wrecked in court.
Falcon 2: 2-9 we're getting an awfully weird visual on the hyperspectral module feed, some kind of a strange formation off the coast of Florida, looks like some kind of winged tentacle monster waving his hands causing a landmass to rise out of the sea. Anyone else hearing something that sounds like "R'lyeh" on comms?

Falcon 1: confirming Falcon 2's visual, seeing the same thing... and my dead son from a decade ago... transmission dies

Falcon 2: Can't see nothing on the AV, wtf?
Agreed, but I also hate how so much of our substantive law basically has to be created by the courts because (a) many of our legislatures, especially at the federal level, have become more and more non-functional, and (b) IMO legislatures are especially bad at implementing technical legislation.

I think there is a good, fundamental legal/societal question of how copyright should apply to AI output. I just don't think our existing copyright structures handle this question well.

Note there is currently a very important case before the SCOTUS that is related to this issue, [1] where the original photographer of a Prince photo is suing Andy Warhol's estate for copyright infringement. The fundamental question is whether the Warhol series of painting are "transformative" enough of the original photo. While there are always gray lines on what "transformative" means, if there is any chance that Warhol's painting are legal and not infringing, I don't see how Copilot could be in the wrong. Copilot's output, even if it contains a substantial amount of the original source, appears to me much more "transformative" than the Warhol paintings are compared to the original photo.

Did you get shot at in high school or have to fight off gangs everyday? Did you eat everyday?

Having a higher odds of getting something is privilege. Rich people’s kids have a much higher likelihood of being rich wouldn’t you say?

There are externalities that you seem to be simply ignoring - it is not a level playing field for all. And to work your way up is way harder based on your starting point in society. I have watched some very smart people wind up in very bad places due only to life circumstances.

I find it odd that some people can’t see how obvious this is - or maybe they just don’t want to.

By the way, I am not saying graduating from an Ivy League school is easy (or any school for that matter), or detracting from how much effort people put in to better themselves. Just that where some people start isn’t where everyone starts - therefore the heights one can climb to aren't the same.
Are they going to release maps or it is just for eyes of selected few?
zstd has --adapt:

--adapt[=min=#,max=#]
zstd will dynamically adapt compression level to perceived I/O conditions. Compression level adaptation can be observed live by using command -v. Adaptation can be constrained between supplied
min and max levels. The feature works when combined with multi-threading and --long mode. It does not work with --single-thread. It sets window size to 8 MB by default (can be changed manu‐
ally, see wlog). Due to the chaotic nature of dynamic adaptation, compressed result is not reproducible.
You might have luck on the wayback machine. But some of the links are really, really old: [Inscribing a regular pentagon in a circle – and proving it](https://web.archive.org/web/20001205213400/http://www.cut-th...) fell off the web after 2000!

My wife was planning a trip with a friend on Whatsapp and for the first time in her life mentioned something about renting a car. She never searched for it in Google or anywhere else but not 24h after that, car rental ads for the specific city she will be visiting started to appear in her Instagram feed.

So I guess when Zuck talks about security that doesn't include privacy.
