> Behind US - yes. However you don't get local US salary anyway, because then US Corp would hire in US. Why bother to recruit overseas?

If the US average is $60k/year while the Polish average is $30k/year, then a US company offering $45k/year to a Polish employee would represent a $15k/year savings for the US company and a $15k/year raise for the Polish employee. Win-win. Even if there's a middleman (like an outsourcing/consulting agency) in between, there's more than enough margin in that arbitrage for it to be mutually beneficial for everyone.

> Behind UE - depends which part. Norway? Probably yes. Spain? Not so much.

Same thing here. If it's 60k€/year v. 30k€/year, offering 45k€/year means savings for the employer and a raise for the employee.

> Anyway aparat from rare outliners, differences aren't that much, because then nobody would work locally.

Or they'd do both jobs and simply not care if the local one fires them.

Further, there are supply and demand constraints that result in demand for local labor. For example, even remote-only companies tend to prefer employees who work in approximately the same time zone.

> Exactly my point for this whole discussion(except sometimes it is not about money, but just who screams more). That's the moment, where you commit a fraud.

The volume knob on those screams tends to correlate with the money behind them.

In any case, this brings me back to one of my points: be the one paying the most, and you have far less to worry about.

If employers get to maximize the output:pay ratio (withholding raises, not backfilling empty roles, not hiring more employees to handle growing workloads, etc.), then it's only fair for employees to maximize the pay:output ratio. That ain't fraud; that's simply capitalism at work.

(And I guess you could argue that capitalism itself is fraud, and I'd wholeheartedly agree with you, but if employers are allowed to commit that fraud then so should employees be allowed to do so.)
The difference is even when coal or oil goes “worst case scenario” bad, it’s still entirely manageable.

We have tools, equipment and people to put out oil rig fires, clean up oil spills and all that.

Obviously Exxon Valdez was very, very bad. So was deep water horizon. Now imagine they were nuclear plantS that went bad and we didn’t get lucky like in the past. It would be many orders of magnitudes worse, for tens of thousands of years.
> They aren't ran in a sandbox or anything

Unless you're using flatpak, which has its own sandbox (though it's not perfect); and one very important piece of information (very important at least for Minecraft players), which is the Minecraft authentication tokens, is within the sandbox.

Speaking of authentication tokens: does anyone know whether it would be necessary to remove the PolyMc authentication entry from the Microsoft account, and/or re-authenticate with the Microsoft account once the new fork is released?
He's literally one of the best selling music artists who single-handedly pioneered multiple substyles within hip-hop over a 20 year career. He's released some of the most critically acclaimed albums of all time.

Strictly as a rapper he might not be listed as "the best rapper ever", but as a musician he's easily up there.
It would be more useful configured for true north rather than magnetic north.
To set people's expectations, it is likely to take a bunch of lawsuits and a bunch of cases here to get to anywhere useful.
The problem with lawsuits on copyright is that they are rarely precedential.
I get that what people see is the large cases that try to tackle big topics.
But for every single one of those, there are probably 10x or 100x equally large case that did precisely none of that.

This is particularly true of fair use, it is very fact specific.
A court is much more likely to answer a very fact specific question about copilot, tied to the very specific facts of the case (IE how is this exact thing used/etc) than more broad, abstract questions.

In fact, standard Article III courts in the US are literally not allowed to issue advisory opinions.
The original(?) one was not great as it contained exclusionary/discriminatory rules. See the "We will not act on complaints regarding" section https://web.archive.org/web/20160304034554/http://todogroup....

I am not aware of any modern CoC containing such section.
Something about implementing a workflow process that involves collecting inputs from multiple users is really hard. Epic's system basically collects inputs from schedulers, front desks, nurses, technicians, doctors, billings, etc. Each step of the process depends on previous step. If step X fails, but the result of the failure can only be recognized at step X+10, it will probably throw the workflow engine into chaos ...
Its not popular to say it, but I agree to some extent here too. We may need a wholesale reimagining of copyright/patents in many places to accept the new reality of both of building the tools (data to train) and in accepting the occasional bad output (copyright/patented function appears in output). I think watching the law evolve with the tech is going to have a lot of ups and downs.
We don't even know how to document it all when we extract DNA from soil. You might be able to put things into general families of species but too much is uncharacterized. Some research is opting to just consider things in terms of ecological niches occupied instead of absolute species found.
I don’t want to argue your positions but you gotta realize that this argument you’re making is fact based one. OP is talking about triggered emotions which are much more complex to dissect and understand.
Yes, you buried all of the very difficult parts of your suggestion in "extra administration." Who decides what's popular? Who decides when it isn't popular any more? Who decides who gets which name in the global namespace?

I think I'm just going to refrain from talking about namespaces now. I tried to be super vague and just point out one thing that wasn't solved by namespaces (typo-squatting), but I've somehow gotten sucked into this discussion.

No more. I'm done. Sorry, it isn't directed at you. Just tired of the discussion around namespaces and the neglect to account for the "admin" parts of it.
Especially when tired and/or jet-lagged you're probably a lot better off leaving as much as possible in a bag than handling it through security screening. After losing a drivers license at the airport a few years ago--which caused less of a hassle with TSA than I expected but was a real issue with hotel check-in--I only use my Global Entry card for domestic check-in because I don't really need that card for anything.
My favorite was C code that was roughly (all functions and variables h:

int bar;

...
foo()
{
if(bar) {
doX();
else
doY();
}
}

Note that uninitialized globals in C are implicitly zero-initialized.

doY() had been broken for years but nobody ever set bar to be true; doX() was nevertheless being called. Setting bar to zero caused the buggy doY() to happen. Setting bar to one seemed to work, but would occasionally segfault.

Then someone explicitly initialized bar and got a linker error. Turns out in ye olden days of C, before "extern" was a thing there was a feature where variables that were initialized in no more than one compilation unit would be all coalesced by the linker. Before doY was broken, someone defined a function named bar, which then caused bar to have a non-zero (i.e. true) value. Someone later added some broken feature to "doY" and it passed all the tests because changing doY() didn't have any effect.
As opposed to the other crowd who callously disregarded the dangers of the virus because it was primarily dangerous to the elderly.

I wonder what represents a larger group of people: those at risk from side effects of the vaccination or every human being older than 65?
I thought Puerto Rico residents with income sourced from Puerto Rico didn’t have to file (or pay) US income tax. Is that mistaken?
Interesting I never heard of Tails before. It looks like a solid offering.

I'm never too concerned about my own computer, but I'm more concerned about airports wifi and other providers... The computer itself and the software I run on it is "as good as I can have".

Related question... How safe is Tor? I realised it's a deep question but have at it... Is it really untraceable? even DNS? is MiM a risk? Is using such a protocol automatically put you in the naughty shadowy corners of the internet? And is there a good spec (easy to read) that explains how it's built?
If there is no need to have third-party controlled video cameras in your bedroom, and you can opt-out of the "service", you do not need to regulate their use.

Of course laws against abuse should be developed so that when you need the service you are protected - but the main thing is that the service is not forced on you.
Pretty feeble argument. Basically it boils down to "if you use Docker you risk not learning how it works and hurting yourself." As I mention in the sibling comment, it would feel less patronising just saying out loud "we do not like containers, roll your own."

Amazing! We're talking a future without the need for animal/human testing. Simply knowing what percentage of people will respond poorly/well and what side effects can be expected and likely the mitigating factors for them.

We're getting really close to crossing a line that will change our world forever. It's not science fiction it's just the culmination of other peoples hard work - as is most of our world.

This also can be applied to recreational drugs and maybe it should be. Can we make drug cocktails that allow us to escape the adverse effects of having fun? Will we be able to eat our cake and have it, too?

I think so.

Okay, so just take "The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software" out of MIT and call it the Do Whatever You Want Licence. You're not obliged as an author / copyright holder to impose restrictions on people using your work if you don't want to.

Whether Copilot is breaching MIT depends on what constitutes a substantial portion, which I am not qualified to rule on.
And my god, should you want a paper menu.
> I’m all for systemic change, but uses like this may end up having a chilling effect on human-created work.

Everytime this comes up, whichever party fears for it's livelihood always says something like this and ignores the other side: that rigorous enforcement activity is going to do the same thing, to human created work. Richard Stallman wrote a short story about this very issue.[1]

There are already people hurling abuse around on Twitter at artists because they think that something they made was produced with Stable Diffusion or something else.

What's with the default to "if it's not explicitly legal, it must be illegal"?

Imagine if every new piece of software your wrote had to be tested for legality because you don't know that it's explicitly legal. Oh there aren't laws for this new thing, so I guess you should challenge yourself all the way to the supreme court?

I get the author not liking Copilot, but I don't see that GitHub/Microsoft have any kind of obligation to figure this out just because they're GitHub/Microsoft.

If I as an individual had this obligation placed upon me I'd just never write any more code.

Ultimately I think, like open source, Copilot and the tools that will follow advance human progress in novel ways. Software getting easier to make is a good thing. If you don't like this particular implementation of something helpful, feel free to start an open source alternative without challenging yourself in the supreme court.
Shamans can't have a medical error, or any error, since they don't do anything, they are scam artists and they know it. Obviously doctors are not perfect, they are people, but I would still rather have hospitals than not have them.

Our point of contention is whether you need something supernatural to have interesting things like consciousness, and although my concise, crude generalizations are certainly not proof in any sense of the world, they should still give you a new look on the possibility. Your supernatural is intentionally not well-defined or falsifiable, so I cannot refute it, but you can refute my arguments. I didn't meant to convince you as much as I wanted to delight you with a new perspective, to make you think about the problem.

The perspective is that the hard problem of consciousness can be trivially made easy once you realize that a being experiencing things is an unreliable witness, because their entire experience is manufactured by an organ that evolved to manipulate information, and this evolution is actually supported by physics, namely thermodynamics.

> I am not disputing that science is the superior methodology for problems spaces where it is superior

It is superior in all the problem spaces. It's the best approach we have, the only legitimate one. You aren't going to be able to sit on a couch with a bunch of crystals and conjure the truth out of the Universe, you have to work for it, and you have to have a way to filter out your biases, and that's science. The one and only. It doesn't mean that you cannot have things like spirituality, because guess what, science is the way to understand that as well, and it can even help creating practices that enhances those experiences. I myself enjoy spirituality. It's a nice brain thing, everyone should have a spiritual life, just not via organized religion.
US sports are already headed there. Proprietary apps help them control (eliminate) the secondary market in two ways: they broker transactions between people (app-to-app) and prevent scalpers from transacting paper tickets.

FWIW, not all of us "happily pirate movies and music".

I want there to be more good music and movies. I want to support artists who create entertainment I enjoy. I go out of my way to buy physical copies of music from artists, wherever possible from the merch table at their shows or from their own websites. I pay to go see movies on the big screen (partly because I like the big screen cinema experience, but also because I understand "opening week revenue" is a key performance indicator for the success of a movie).

I thing copyright is old, outdated, and probably not really fit for purpose for forms of creative work invented in the last 50 years. But I also thing creative workers need to get paid for their effort (juist the same as software developers), and absent a FAANG-style set for companies employing teams of songwriters, musicians, authors, and the like - on FAANG-style salaries, copyright seems to be the option that is working (however badly).

I'll join your "abolish all copyright" crusade as soon as there's an alternative that at least likely to possibly work as well (or better) than the system copyright allows. Just abolishing copyright and erasing the publishing/music/movie/art industries without a transition plan isn't a thing I can support. (At least a transition the artists/editors/producers/writers/etc. I'll admit there's a large chunk of management and legal in the fairly abusive parts of the music industry I wouldn't shed a tear if they all became homeless and destitute overnight...)
Our venture-backed cooperative startup board has 1/3rd of its seats reserved for its employees, which incorporates both corporate staff (devs, marketing, etc) and operational staff (drivers, support).

The other 2/3rds are divided equally between our restaurant and consumer members. Each member class votes exclusively for their portion of the board seats.

We’re nearing year three,
and this arrangement has been working well for us. We’ll see if it can continue to scale as we expand geographically.

This I feel like is one of the better points in the thread.

The asymmetry that exists in copyright law where large corporations can enforce their copyright to the point of breaking the law themselves (YouTube's content ID is another non-legal, but still very impactful example) is absolute bullshit.

Unfortunately I think that if training ML models on Internet-data is found not to be fair use then things will get harder for individuals training models and corporations will be barely inconvenienced as they can afford to pay for sources, make deals with other large institutions for data, etc.
I don't deny that there are examples that appear to be wholesale copying, and that is definitely an issue to be addressed. No doubt.

What I don't understand is why the rest of the service (where it doesn't appear to be pasting existing code) is being maligned when it behaves like a more powerful version of autocomplete.
I generally agree, though I would add that I think this depends a lot on the skill set and technical background of the person.

My gut feeling is that if someone is going to struggle with optimizing for a relatively fixed target like Fly (the billing is extremely predictable compared to some other offerings out there, if not completely fixed), the chances are that they won't be cut out to do double time taking on what is effectively a Linux sysadmin role.[1]

I think it is an a priori fact that the cat is out of the bag.

The existing publicly available datasettes, algorithms, and weighted models certainly should be expected to be permanently in the hands of some non-law-abiding parties, at this point.

I think that it will be important to ensure that we have symmetric information, going forward, otherwise trying to put the genie back in the bottle may just end up further disadvantaging those that try to follow the rules.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I think the prospect of someone autocompleting and getting a snippet that came from me, they found it useful, and are going to incorporate it is great. It means my thoughts and logic are shaping culture in a mimetic feedback loop.
A simple search on github reveals that those functions were reposted verbatim thousands of times, most people just copy and paste snippets of code they find useful, ignoring licenses. This highlights how all the power a license promises to hold is completely fictional. Any "in the style of Tim Davis" modifier only shows some kind of unwarranted self-importance complex on the part of the guy, thinking his style is widely known and distinctive (it's not). It's not the job of Copilot, the team that builds it, or the programmers that use it, to determine where the functions that were reposted thousands of times under all kinds of licenses originated.

This is the same case as with copyrighted photos in newspapers, a paper prints a photo somebody allowed them to use, but then it turns out that person did not have the right to use it in the first place. Did not stop newspapers from printing photos at all.

The funnel leaks. The board wants to plug the holes, but can only do so if it knows where they are.
Neural processing is ubiquitous in phones (all the flagships do neural enhancement on the image, and iirc apple does gesture recognition neurally), and all Ice Lake and newer laptop chips (plus lol Rocket Lake), as well as all Zen4 chips have neural instructions too. NVIDIA's had it for 2 gens now. It's pretty well across the stack at this point. And it's getting used for different things in different places. Things like face recognition or gesture recognition are natural fits in a low-power environment, reduces power consumption of those features hugely. PCs and servers can do content generation or some other larger "inference" tasks.

Neural game upscaling is a huge win too. The neural-TAAU upscalers (DLSS 2.x and XeSS) perform a lot better than FSR still, even compared to FSR 2.0/2.1. And there will be other things they can figure out how to ML-accelerate as adoption continues, I'm sure. It enables some solutions to hard problems that don't have good deterministic algorithms, and you can run a lot bigger models than you can without acceleration.

also fabrice bellard (of course) wrote a neural compressor... https://bellard.org/nncp/

it's also likely going to be useful in level design and asset creation as well, although of course as we're seeing now with Stable Diffusion there's some interesting legal questions with content creation.

optical flow engine (not neural) is another big win for computer vision stuff, too, offloads a few tough tasks to hardware, like object tracking and motion estimation. hooking into that with zoneminder or something would be awesome.

I'm also stoked for shader execution reordering too. This is similar to what Intel calls "ray binning", it basically is a best-effort "re-alignment" of the thread (state,etc) to the most similar execution group for memory read alignment/coalescing. I think one or another raytracing implementation (Intel or NVIDIA) they were coalescing based on material.

Intel talks about theirs here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA1yvWs3lHU

I am interested to hear what AMD is doing with RDNA3, supposedly there is a new RDNA3 ISA instruction for matrix acceleration but rumors are it's not a full high-performance matrix unit like CDNA and >=Turing? I don't know why you'd add an instruction without some hardware acceleration though. So maybe less than the other implementations... which is a little disappointing.
