Yeah, like, seems odd to boot hang here. Why doesn't it just say "nope" to whatever it's being asked to do (KMS or something i assume, i have no idea) and move on.

I have a new Intel NUC whose Iris graphics is apparently little too new for ubuntu's drivers/firmware (works fine on fedora beta and if i and install newer custom-build kernels on ubuntu). It hangs completely on startup without giving me any info.

That's actually one of the worst parts of these stupid splash-screened distros.
Because they don't bother to help you at all, you have to go through some other mechanism (rescue mode), and understand how to debug the original problem.

it's all astonishingly user-hostile.
Daily reminder to not use copilot with sensitive codebases. (Or at all but you might like automatic code completions so you do you)
There is a better way than CT: DANE, with query name minimization to prevent MITMing of some domains (as opposed to none or all) by a malicious or compromised . or TLD.

DANE means you get a real PKI with real name constraints, unlike WebPKI.

DANE stapling can reduce latency, but doing DANE w/ qname minimization for most of the domainname being resolved has the property that you get to make life really hard for a malicious or compromised . or TLD. You get to cache a lot of results, so using DANE stapling for the stem of the domainname should still reduce latency a fair bit.

With DNS over TLS or HTTPS we're seeing that resolvers are willing to use TCP, which is one answer to the DNS amplification attack concern.

SDL takes array pointers as arguments for its audio output functions in general, so I would assume they were coding against the SDL Audio API.
It's always kind of amazing to me how much of an asshole Jerry Seinfeld comes off as. It's sort of his stock in trade at this point. He's very funny and smart, and an egomaniacal asshole. And he doesn't care, because he has a gazillion dollars and all he cares about is what's funny.

I just realized that Jerry Seinfeld is the Elon Musk of comedy.

> I’d like a setting that tells GitHub to not scan my code at all.

What about people forking/mirroring your code? Or people merely contributing code? There is no one-to-one correspondence between copyright holders and Github users.

Copilot should just comply with the license, that's it.
Not using Github doesn't stop others from posting your code on Github with incorrect licenses. It becomes a massive game of whack-a-repo
Some odd associations here... whimsy gives back, among other things: maggot

This doesn’t meaningfully eliminate the problem; it only moves the risk proportions around. Someone is still losing incredible amounts of money in the form of worthless debt should a crash happen here, and it’s not clear what their recourses are.
It will not be GitHub that will get sued. It'll be the developers that use the code without attribution.

The copyright infringement might not matter if code from individual developers is being used - they usually don't sue. But once this happens to say Oracle's copyrighted code... Well, that is going to be interesting.
Not because "it is cool" but because it needs that code to operate. Consider this scenario, even for a classic website/blog: you can eagerly download all of the textual content at first load as markdown, cache it in the ServiceWorker together with a markdown parser, and go offline. You can then ask the network, if available, only for downloading images that then get added to the offline cache. Even with a spotty and slow mobile connection, after the initial load you are done with the network and you can read all the content in an efficient, environmental friendly and fast way. When the network is available, you can check if there are updates by sending a small request to the server, and update the cache.
"Hangs at boot" hardly requires a new CPU. You can enjoy the year of Linux on the desktop with any old Intel CPU, too, since Ubuntu broke all Intel iGPUs in the pre-release Kinetic, right before the pointless "kernel freeze".

People do not use Linux when they expect to have better than even odds of the machine booting.
The fact that it had to be mentioned at all for a weather app is concerning & telling of the state of tech
I've read a lot here that medium and dev.to have negative stigma here on HackerNews. So I've taken a look at hashnode and substack. So I now I have accounts at substack, medium, dev.to, hashnod and wordpress blog. It is time to consolidate that :)

If there is zero inventory added, that is a crisis.

I'm suggesting that the bracket of inventory also matters because "the rich person" won't live in low-end units no matter how abundant and the budget shopper doesn't want to or can't live in expensive units.

I'd suggest organizing to get initiatives passed but this might be difficult if prospective renters are forced outside of the voting jurisdiction.

This scenario is specific to neither github nor copilot. It will always happen for any combination of a code generating LLM trained on all publicly available code.
To me that seem akin to saying "if you just care about running it's probably not worth learning to walk"

It is always "worth it" to understand the machine you are manipulating, and no matter what you think about the C virtuel machine, the very real machine in front of me has been shaped by its relationship to C.

I take it seriously enough; I have a civic interest in harm reduction in this area.

“Voluntary” cuts it when you’re talking amongst yourselves, but again: this is a public forum, not one specially for your interests. I get to voice common sense objections; that’s the point of this place.
Because Weather.com is not the most accurate data source in many places. For instance in Prague by my research Dark Sky is the most accurate, then there is big gap and it's followed by Wunderground/AccuWeather and possibly Weather.com (though I think Wunderground/Weather are often same if chosen specific location)
A key is just a transposition for the notes as they appear on the music sheet to actual notes on an instrument. Each key is a different transposition. Good keyboards have a transpose feature where you get to pick a key, then you play a piece as you remember or read the music, then do the same thing in a different key, and even though you played the same keys, in the same order, with the same timing, the sound will be quite different.

Play the same piece in different keys, and you'll see that the feelings you get will be different for each key.
Boring isn't old, nessecarily. Not-boring isn't nessecarily novel either.

Design Patterns are from at least 1994, when GoF wrote them down. Ideas like DDD are some 20 years old. As is e.g. Event Sourcing.

Actually, by your reasoning, Event Sourcing would be the preferred architecture for everything since the oldest written human sources were event sourced (bookkeeping grain).

As always, what is best fitting "depends". Battle tested is one, but never the only one, parameter to decide with.
That code seems to appear in thousands of repositories on GitHub, I’m sure some of them haven’t copied the license.

The vast majority of people who would use a matrix transform function they got from code completion (or from a GitHub or stack overflow search) probably don’t care what the license is. They’ll just paste in the code. To many developers publicly viewable code is in the public domain. Code pilot just shortens the search by a few seconds.

Microsoft should try todo better (I’m not sure how), but the sad fact is that trying to enforce a license on a code fragment is like dropping dollar bills on the sidewalk with a note pinned to them saying “do not buy candy with this dollar”
A dubious study by a conservative think-tank which is funded by Turning Point USA, Prager U, and the Blexit Foundation. Yeah, definitely something worth reading.
It's hard to believe that people once paid money to see comedy acts, that a comedian could make bank, because people paid.

I think I've gone too far down the path to even think about paying to see standup now. I did, and I enjoyed it, but I would seriously question the value proposition compared to staying in and grazing the archive.

It may be age. Probably is.

That said, I am very unsure I would have paid to see Seinfeld at any stage in his career, but I can acknowledge he has gifts to delivery and tone, assuming he writes the material we hear/see. The central premise being he does, but my understand is that comedy is more nuanced: A number of people may be behind a gag.
> But if they are two different things (i.e. I vote for candidate A but guess candidate B will win) I don't see an issue.

The problem is that most people are biased towards thinking their favorite candidate will win, so if it's a close election then most people will guess the same as their vote.

> I would be curious if exit pollsters have ever asked this question. Ask people who they voted for, but also who they think will win. It would be interesting to see how accurate guesses are.

Political betting markets are kind of like that. Though, with money on the line, participants have a stronger incentive to avoid bias than they would in a poll.
>If you think a corporation is evil, you don’t have to shop there.

I don't think charging $80 is evil, but it's a high enough price to merit some light teasing. To clarify: I'm just making fun of B&N for charging a lot for a book I wanted. This isn't meant to argue that charging a lot justifies theft.

>If you think a corporation is evil, you don’t have to shop there.

This is a more interesting argument, that has nothing to do with what I said, but is still fun to think about. Surely, if a corporation is evil, a reasonable response would exceed "don't shop there".
me too ! :) alas...the article states it is an artisinal bread - you're unlikely to find it anywhere online. But as a Palestinian/lived in Jordon for 6 years - the closest i can think of is a home-made variety of kaak (literally translates to 'cake') which is a bread stick containing syrian oregano (zataar) and sugar in the dough, dipped in a combo of white sesame seeds and nigella seds. Usually shaped thin and long.
> haven’t tried Linux yet so can’t say if it’s in that half or maybe something board/firmware revision specific though.

Its probably just bugs in the 5.15 kernel I'm still running. Full zen 4 support wasn't added until linux 6.0, so I think I'm doing well as it is. Fingers crossed suspend is fixed by a newer kernel.

Given everything else in the system seems to work fine, I'm not too fussed.
There are some privacy techniques the app could use that are hard for a web app. For example it could update the weather information at a fixed rate so it would not leak the usage patterns of the app.
In the .NET world, the most recent example would be Identity Server.

Used to be open-source, became the defacto OAuth implementation, but now it's closed source.

I use one because it is much easier to tap once than to have to type anything (like "weather").
What's the point of Weather app respecting privacy if its data source (OpenWeatherMap) has horribly inaccurate data?

I use Weawow and Today Weather, none of them have access to Location, actually both of them have no permissions granted at all and works fine. I don't use apps which don't allow manually selecting Location.
Humans are mostly driven by feelings. Even their thoughts are driven by feelings. That's why there is such a broad support for copyright violations. "Oh wow, free stuff! This feels good! This is good!".

> gained their intuitive understanding ... from earlier educational training ...

I wonder if at one point or likely one age you will never be able to gain an intuitive grasp on some subjects.

I think not only of subjects like higher-level math and physics, but also language skills, like chinese or japanese for a lifelong western speaker.

on the other hand, I wonder if some subjects might be easier without baggage, like having a lifetime of newtonian physics, then learning relativity or quantum physics.
It's been forever since I daily drove Linux sadly... is it possible to disable those splash screens and put the old TTY boot sequence stuff back? That was always super handy debugging whatever thing I'd recently broken at boot. And I personally think it looks way cooler :)
What’s the most github could reasonably be expected to do? Identify if multiple licenses are found for the same code then maybe it should be flagged for review or the most restrictive license applied.
You are asking the wrong question. Instead ask to yourself: How would I help or enable this person or organisation/business? And you will make a lot of progress.
As he said you can make home screen shortcut to whatever URL/site, I use this way weather radar without need of app.

Maybe.

But sometimes "the reading" means doing research during personal hours in order to solve work problems. And while the me of 20 years ago would have been perfectly fine doing work that I wasn't going to be compensated for, that shit doesn't fly with the me of today and if it got weeded entirely out of corporate culture, especially software development, we'd all be better off for it.

Raise your hand if you've never had any real formal workplace training in your supposed area of expertise.

Raise your hand if you've watched the same managers who can't find a budget for your personal training go to training seminars and / or conferences.

Raise your hand if your employer decides to adopt some new bit of technology that nobody on your team has familiarity with and then give an incredibly aggressive timeframe to integrate it into your current systems.

Most developers don't have enough hands to raise.

> I'm not sure sure that originality is that different between a human and a neural network.

It is, yes. For example, a neural network can't invent a new art style on its own, or at least existing models can't, they can only copy existing art styles, invented by humans.

Knowingly accepting stolen property is both unethical and illegal.

This isn’t an unexplored ethical frontier; I appreciate the offer for further discussion, but I don’t think there’s anything novel either of us can contribute on the subject.
Then any asshole could mix up their own magnetic bead paint and cause havoc.

Probably no more than someone painting their own road lines or putting up fake signage does now [1], but if you want something that's better than what we currently have it would need to not only be both machine and human readable, but also authenticated.

I always thought it would be quite neat to have those portable roadside displays you see for roadworks and so on also communicate map and driving data (cryptographically signed by your local council or dept of transport). So you might get a sign that says "roadworks ahead, please slow down" for human drivers, and the radio beacon would communicate a change of speed limits inside a certain geo-bounded area that would cause self-driving vehicles to slow down. Or similar stuff for "bridge out ahead, turn around now" causing navigation to reroute.

Get where you're coming from, but IMO here he just lacks false humility. All I heard about how the show Seinfeld was made, I think he's probably pretty accurate there. They were able to keep it up for a little while even after Larry David left.
Not sure if this makes sense or if it is possible, but getting something like a word cloud as a result would be awesome. The more obvious synonyms will be bigger, the more distant ones will be smaller. Even if it does not work 100% I think this would be nice.
By removing the arbitrary preferences from code formatting, one can focus on the substance of the code itself, and not its accidental decoration; in the case of generated code, for example, this can be quite beneficial.
I wonder how using an API that is under CC-BY-SA 4.0 [0] is considered an anti-feature. I mean, I understand what they want in f-droid with [1] but there should probably be some middle-ground for cases like this?

While this is the least important part of this project: Htmx is great! I've used it quite extensively lately for internal tools at work. AlpineJS has also been useful for things that need a little more JSON-API-driven oomph.
I believe now this was actually a drone, not a cruise missile.

I thought drone originally, but then I thought no drone would have the range to get to Kyiv. However, this is a drone in the sense of "small aircraft", so, yes, the range is there.
It's interesting how "moving image" is split into "digital cinema" and "digital video", I would have expected one set of formats to cover both.

Apparently "digital cinema" prefers DPX while "digital video" lists AVI/MOV/WMV/MP4/MP2/MXF as acceptable, so maybe "digital cinema" are intended to capture raw data while "digital video" are meant for playback. But audio and still image categories did not have that same split.
Isn't that kind of backwards?

With respect to the rule of law, wouldn't it be more like:

Can the freedom/rights of a person be solely determined by a billionaire or politician or by the law?
It seems like a privacy respecting app shouldn't leave your privacy dependent on the ongoing and unwavering benevolence of the developer or the services their app uses. For a weather app that would mean not sending my location data anywhere, but also not sending the locations I want the weather for anywhere either since if you know that most of the time you'll be able to tell where I am or where I will be.

The ideal privacy respecting weather app would download and update a local copy of every location's weather, and any requests you made would never leave your own device. I'm not sure how realistic that is, but as long you trust the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the government they operate under, and that the data being sent to OpenWeather is non-identifying or that they too can be trusted with your data, then this is probably the closest we're going to get.

But they are, remember, incomprehensibly more advanced than you or me. And they know a bunch of other incomprehensibly more advanced civilizations all the way on the other side of the expansionist noobs.

The photograph of the art, which will be more recent, might have copyright protections.

It looks like it wouldn't in the UK, probably wouldn't in the US but would in Germany. The cases seem to hinge on the level of intellectual creativity of the photograph involved. The UK said that trying to create an exact copy was not an original endeavour whereas Germany said the task of exact replication requires intellectual/technical effort of it's own merit.

What alternative are you suggesting?

Things turned out pretty great economy-wise for people in the UK. So that's a poor example even if Luddites didn't hate technology. Not working on the technology wouldn't have done the world any favours (nor the millions of people who wore the more affordable clothes it produced).

I personally think it'd be rewarding to make developers lives easier, essentially just saving the countless hours we spend googling + copy/pasting Stackoverflow answers.

Co-pilot is merely just one project in this technological development, even if a mega-corp like Microsoft doesn't do it ML is here to stay.

If you're concerned that software developers job security is at all at risk from co-pilot than you greatly misunderstand how software engineering works.

Auto-completing a few functions you'd copy/paste otherwise (or rewrite for the hundredth time) is a small part of building a piece of software. If they struggle with self-driving cars, I think you'll be alright.

At the end-of-the-day there's a big incentive for Github et al to solve this problem, a class action lawsuit is always an overhanging threat. Even if co-pilot doesn't make sense as a business and these pushback shut it down I doubt it will go away.

I'm personally confident the industry will eventually figure out the licensing issues. The industry will develop better automated detection systems and if it requires more explicit flagging, no-one is better positioned to apply that technologically than Github.
i think at this point it is fair to say 'Covid damages the country' - whatever policy is pursued there are massive consequences.

In 'let it rip' countries, not only have thousands died but many more are now unable to work or else looking out for sick relatives. Up to 4 million US workers apparently in this situation, a part explanation of the labour force participation rate being what it is. All this is not to mention the potential long term debilitating of mass Covid infections could well lower the overall IQ of the population.

Pretty damaging alternative to Covid Zero
