You might be confused but that's literally what you do as a business. You leverage your domain area expertise to expand into new areas of business.

For instance, Apple already knew about the portable hardware market and extended their reach into the portable music market via iPod. It used the iPod to reach the music marketplace via iTunes. Used its market dominance to create iPhone and the rest is history.

Maybe that's a personal maxim on your part but there's no law that says if you have dominance (what does that even mean?) in one market you cannot enter another. Think about what you're saying. We'd have no multi-product company if that were the case. What does "dominance" or "market" mean anyway?
I'm using the word "product" to mean "something which was produced." I searched for a few definitions because I thought they might actually be different forms of the same word. Turns out I could be wrong about that, but that was my intent. Something that you produce is a "product" of your time, effort, labour etc. Doesn't matter if it's something that you are selling or not. Doesn't matter if it's a relatively small production. The point is you produced it. It is yours.

The question is whether the courts will find damages. Everything else has nothing to do with my comment. You might have your own ideas and opinions, which is fine. So do I. Both are irrelevant. The point is that there is a legal question here that the courts alone are equipped to answer.
But is it illegal for AI to provide the said assistance ? That, I believe, is the bigger question.
You do want the policy on retries to live and be evaluated at the outermost level where your business logic lives. If that’s living across an RPC boundary, then you’re stuck making this weird trade off and where I think this back and forth is happening - people have different mental models of the specific service they have familiarity with that they’re using to test the recommendation against and because there’s a trade off to be made, the advice can be correct in some contexts and wrong in others. If you can encode your policy and it’s evaluation generically so it flows through the stack, that’s not terrible although it becomes hard to manage certain other kinds of SLAs (eg bounding latency of your overall operation or the latency of a specific suboperation).
This is copyright. I put it out there with a government guaranty that I get to retain ownership out of it. Society at large benefits because more people put their stuff out their. You want to break that deal and you will end up with less sharing. Why are you for information silos? I am for open ideas and sharing. You are for stealing and breaking the moral agreement because distributing my code in the form of an AI analysis doesn't groke with you as the same thing as distributing it in another manner.
> I think a rake is also fine

This! Unless you have a good reason to use a leaf blower (huge yard, physically incapable… that’s it?) use a rake. It’s good for your health to do some manual labor. We’ve spent the Industrial Revolution trying to do less physical labor and we’ve hit a tipping point where many of us are doing far too little.
This is similar to the solution we used in Vega Strike https://www.vega-strike.org/ detailed here https://graphics.stanford.edu/~danielh//classes/VegaStrikeBl...
Some other "when digging around about radar astronomy and greenbank plans"...

https://www.wboy.com/news/west-virginia/green-bank-telescope...

> The Green Bank Observatory, in conjunction with the Goldstone radio telescope in California, has been monitoring the pair of asteroids over the two weeks following the experiment on Sept. 26. Observations found not only that the trajectory had been changed successfully, but that it exceeded the initial expectations for how large the shift would be.

From https://www.wvgazettemail.com/news/green-bank-telescope-help...

> Green Bank Telescope radar observations of the asteroid Dimorphos after it was deliberately struck by a NASA spacecraft on Sept 26 were used to confirm the success of the first-ever full-scale demonstration of asteroid deflection technology

The key here is that as mentioned Goldstone is the other radar astronomy capable observatory and its radar observations. RAdio Detection And Ranging. Those require the ability to transmit a radio pulse.

But absouyltely it's neat what they're doing with it.
You’re missing the point. It’s not an ego problem: if you put your code on the internet with a license you should expect people to respect the license’s rules…
Open source has trained me and countless others. We have learned from it. Why shouldn’t machines learn from it too? Is co-pilot copy-pasting slabs of code verbatim?

I see Copilot as a net positive. Open source is for sharing and learning. Copilot is sharing and learning on steroids.
You are correct that you can render a small section of a very large data set by re-centering your origin of the data sent to GPU around a small subsection. So, now the question becomes "But, do you really want to?"

> Overall, we are quite happy with how this solution turned out. We think it is the closest to "just works" that we can get.

I think this is the crux of it. The performance penalty is very small and the convenience factor is very high.

But, now I want to know what they do with the positions of lights in the scene... Likely transformed to view space regardless for deferred rendering, I'd guess.
American public school system is broken. It is feast or famine. Many teachers are bad at teaching. Many schools are no more than daycare centers. Many students are not interested in school. I don’t know what the answer is. The fact of the matter is many American universities also have fundamental problems. The university seeks prestige via research and publishing as many articles as it can. Educating students seem to be an after thought.
That's pretty neat, they even look like BL-5C batteries (if you squint..) https://steelseries.com/gaming-accessories/battery-pack

Didn't know they actually went through with that. I was thinking along the lines of those very old laptops that had dual NiCd banks so you could swap them without shutting down.
Ask HN: Why is eBPF a popular approach to monitoring?
For the developer that needs observability, why would they want an approach to monitoring that utilized eBPF instead of a language agent?
i agree with the principle of your comment, but pure games like the ones you mentioned seem like they would be much easier for a machine to solve. traffic and driving are more complex and require much faster response times, not to mention the high variability (and the literal speed) of factors
I see your statement as an inversion of consensus reality. What actual coder would use copilot?
A beginner or dabbler.

I predict your attempt at tactically “managing” this copilot scandal will not play well on HN to experienced coders, your Microsoft colleagues chiming in next claiming it boosts their productivity notwithstanding.

Yes, I do indeed suggest astroturfing afoot.
It’s fairly obvious if Copilot is regurgitating entire blocks of code that someone else wrote.

In 999 out of a 1000 cases it’s just spitting out boilerplate though.
It is a code laundering tool so corporations can steal open source code rights . It's the plainest thing I've ever seen. They charge for it on top of it. The deniers are out of their minds if they can't see what's coming.

This has the potential to severely damage open source - I would not host my open source project on GitHub, especially if it was copyleft. I'm sure many others wouldn't either. Some of these authors make amazing software that we might not see because of this.
You’re off the mark with this one.

He is extraordinarily influential in music and hip hop.

Maybe you missed the era where he skyrocketed to the top and spawned a generation of artists that emulate elements of his style to this day.

His impact is undeniable and that’s why you hear about it.

The disconnect is probably that he hasn’t done anything musically relevant in a few years + his mental health has continued to deteriorate in public.
No one wants to stop what Copilot is being sold as. They want to stop the company selling it from doing what it is famous for doing.
> if your adversary wants to get your stuff, they will find a way.

This is true, and to add to it: for state level actors, “wanting to get your stuff” expands to passive collection of data as well as well trodden paths to more targeted surveillance. End to end at least throws up a few more barriers.
There are laws covering that use case. It just depends on the country. Assuming your countries laws is the law everywhere is a bit of a fallacy.
The job market for cheap rehashed garbage will grow and quality productions will suffer.

For programmers, the job market for loud-mouthed posers and plagiarizers will grow and quality will suffer. But those programmers will be fluent in marketing speak.
They should in addition release all code generated as a combo of AGPL, GPL, MIT, etc. and put a comment on every usage. Users would then need to license their code accordingly.

For a commercial version, run it on Microsoft's internal code, the code they actually own!
For what it's worth I've found the links you've provided very interesting and insightful! It's bringing back bits and pieces of some of the software license training I've got at various jobs in the past.
Can someone clarify if copyright violation is actually considered "illegal"? As far as I know it's a civil matter and not something a state or federal government would attempt to prosecute.
I agree with you. It's getting harder and harder. Went to a restaurant Friday night with friends. Inside there are no menus, only QR cords and the UX is some of the worst ever (toastlab). There is also no way to pay except through the website which wants you to register an account. I don't want to be a dick to my friends but I also don't want to eat at this restaurant. The waiters said "put in fake info" and they acknowledged everyone complains about the menus. In the end my friends paid and I didn't have to bring up the issue.
Your drone would need to be really close to the sub to provide any useful information - so close that you’d definitely be exposing the submarines locations unless it was quieter than the sub. Which good luck with that.

Any active sonar would likely paint the submarine anyway too for any passive sonar listeners.

Overall, unlikely to be useful.
You could still train your AI on, for example, Wikimedia Commons and simply add the required license to the output of your model.

I added the e-bike as an extra factor not focusing on it there. You can still get a DUI.

But the point of the bike comment largely doesn’t matter since people have to drive to the bar or wherever and there wouldn’t be a bike to get a DUI on.

I’m actually not even sure that if given equal consideration a bike causes more drunken damage (although probably less lethal) but we won’t know because so few people ride bikes since they have to drive a car so they just get DUIs and kill people and themselves that way since we force that on people.
> what are the odds that copilot increases the risk of using improperly licensed code

In a company of a thousand programmers there are much easier ways to find improperly licensed code.
If I'm understanding their FAQ correctly (https://seabed2030.org/faq), no: the resolution is too low (400m × 400m at the depth the MH370 is thought to be).
My simplistic mental model of our society is the motion of celestial bodies under the force of greed. The upside is that greed keeps things in motion. The downside is that eventually those thing tend to form big clumps that pull the surrounding matter at the rate proportional to the size of the clump. The anti-trust laws are supposed to be intelligent forces that break up such clumps. There is, probably, an equivalent of the black hole: an indestructible organisation with such force of greed that nothing can escape it; in practice it would be some unholy union of state and business, a corporation that writes laws for itself, has an army and doesn't answer to anyone.
Probably not, but I can imagine something similar to hijacking a popular library and publishing a new version that opens a certain port and waits for instructions. All a malicious actor needs to do is increase the amount of exposed servers to be caught while they later scan the internet for anyone with that port open.

Double precision makes sense to me for world space interactions wherein participants are very far apart.

Something like Kerbal space program is an example where I'd probably break out the doubles.

For final projection, clipping, z buffering, etc., single precision is almost certainly enough.

I can’t read all of this now, mainly because I’m on mobile with limited time and it’s hard to squint at. But I was surprised that what I did read and search through the document makes only one mention of polymorphism (rank 2 polymorphism, which was a new term to me; a quick search seems to suggest this is the type system equivalent of closing over a type parameter, eg to create local generic function whose generic constraints are first constrained by their outer scope). And makes no direct mention of monomorphization in the code specialization section, but it does seem to hint in that direction. I’m probably looking for terminology but would be satisfied with the prose when I read through more.

What surprised me most so far, again having only read a portion so far, is the caveats around crossing module boundaries for analysis. I’ve been, frankly, surprised at how much this is expressed as a difficulty in far more dynamic environments like JS ESM, but where the module boundaries not always totally static but in practice almost always are. I’d expect that a much more static and controlled environment like Swift would not have so many challenges in that area. But maybe this is a misconception of how static Swift actually is? Probably so!

Adding this comment with more ignorance than insight mostly in hopes I come back to see more knowledgeable discussion when I return.

This is gross slander.

This is a black man who is a unicorn in two industries. One of the most successful black people of all time. Who is fighting to establish black ownership in those industries.

Here’s his latest full interview where he goes into detail on what he’s been saying. I highly encourage you to watch at least the first 20 minutes:

https://odysee.com/@ArchAngel:e/Ye-on-The-Media-The-Kardashi...

“I respect what the Jewish people have done and how they brought their people together” he isn’t just spewing anti semitism he’s making a principled stand for his people owning more of the industries they run and airing specific problems. Feel free to engage with them.

(YouTube is censoring it because I guess you can critique whites and other ethnic groups all you want, but not Jews). I’m not endorsing anything here, but it’s clear he’s far within the realm of sanity. Accusations against someone’s sanity are of the ultimate nature, it’s a shame you lob them so.

But in it he actually clearly addresses everything you mention: Pete, Gap, Corey, and more. All of your points he has logical explanations for and I highly doubt you’re familiar with then since it seems you only follow Instagram posts, which is ludicrous.

In it I hear someone who is incredibly well controlled, who is speaking clearly and logically, and who has legitimate greviances borne out of experience. In fact I was surprised, as he’s always been a bit of a spaz in interviews (nothing too unusual, just within range ADHD, stress, narcissism would be my guess), so I was expecting worse. But if anything he seems more rational and grounded than ever.

So the lesson is that don't put together single impression for everything in a country (except communist country?). TEPCO (and some other nuclear corps in Japan) was known for hiding incidents, even prior the earthquake.
I tried it out, but I don’t use it at all on a day-to-day basis. I have no idea if it boosts productivity or not. I also have no idea how you came up with the claim that it’s only for beginners, I’m presuming you just made this up? All of the people that I’ve noticed talking publicly about their experiences using it are highly experienced engineers.

I just think it’s hilarious how fair use is so widely supported on HN when it comes to music, or videos, or interface names, but all of a sudden is a moral crisis when it appears to threaten the value of HN member’s labor.
In a world where the cost of producing cheap rehashed garbage approaches 0 why would the job market for cheap rehashed garbage grow at the expense of the expensive unique gems market?

There will definitely be more cheap rehashed garbage online and we will be forced to invent tools to wade through it. I actually look at that as a bright side because there's already a lot of cheap rehashed garbage, we just don't have good tools for wading through it yet because it hasn't become completely intolerable yet.

> It's not "cherry-picking" to report a crime being committed on your front lawn.

And as soon as he sees someone actually take the chair from his front lawn he can report it as a crime. He cannot report the people walking past because they could potentially steal his chair.

One could even argue that if he didn’t want his chair taken, maybe he should have locked it in his shed.

Of course, these chairs duplicate, so it’s not as if he loses his own chair.

MultiMC has been historically hostile to distros packaging it, which is part of the reason PolyMC got popular.
Your points about the American definitions of "white" are certainly valid. The US racial system was primarily built around creating "black" and "indian" (and later "asian"), and it's certainly arguable that Italians, Irish, and Jews were always "white" in the US under some definitions of race.

However, your definition of race is incomplete.

> defining “whiteness” as anything other than the skin color is racist and inaccurate

You are assuming that race is an objective measure, but there isn't a scientific definition of race which matches common understandings of race. Instead of accepting that people may act on a personal understanding of race, you are asserting that their definition of race doesn't match your definition, and so there's no racial component at play. Ethnicity has a habit of becoming racialized. For example:

> Different groups had different levels of acceptance even today. The vast majority of Americans consider Jews to be white, but there are still people who dislike Jews. Jews receiving discrimination doesn’t make them any less white.

Does it matter that you think that Jews are white if the Nazis did not believe that? They created racial categories for the purpose of discrimination. Jews and Slavs were subject to "racialization" by the Nazis. We can say that Jews in Europe faced racial oppression under the Nazis because the Nazis oppressed them by labeling them a race. In fact, the Nazi classification of the Jewish Race meets your updated definition:

> The only valid definition of white is the commonly accepted one: of the white racial group as decided by a combination of factors including your lineage, how you are perceived, and so on.

The problem with your insistence that the Irish and Jews are white is that there isn't an authoritative white lineage or white appearance. People disagree[1] over who's considered white.

No, it's an illustration of two ends of spectrum, and only one of three parts of AFC. All I'm saying is that the original comment gave us three links and that they didn't strictly agree with what the comment said without further elaboration.

I will say, though, that the allegations of basically copying and pasting exact instances of substantive portions of copyrighted codebase appear to be at one end of the spectrum.
