Writing version 0.1 of a kernel from scratch very much does mean you are a computer wiz, how else are you going to make it run? You need to program the base hardware of the computer manually!

Of course if to you a computer wiz is someone who knows how to write a web page, or how Windows works, or how you use Photoshop, then no that’s not what you need. Then again the people who know that probably aren’t enough of a computer wiz to write a kernel from scratch.
You will eventually run out of people to screw over.

> 2) If it's too expensive it will not happen, no need for the government to step in.

The government steps in for every second of operation of every nuclear reactor on the planet.

Feel free to pay for your own insurance sans liability caps, find your own loans (without government enforced payment from end users for projects that produce no power), pay for the overruns in decomissioning, and pay for the labour of the regulatory bodies stopping the industry from rendering entire countries uninhabitable.

While you are at it you can control the pollution from uranium mine to the same standard that you'd want in your own back yard and pay for security.

Electricity is a utility and a natural monopoly. The government is always involved and they need to make decisions for what is best in the long term. If you don't have your own enrichment and processing industry then that decision isn't 'become dependent on russia for fuel'. We just saw how well that went.

I remember articles of the Airbus A350 requiring reboots every N days (150ish or so?). I remember the Patriot missile system required a reboot every 24 hours or so until they fixed the software defect which caused the time counting to drift. And I'm pretty sure there are many more such cases where devices fail if kept on for too long, even in spaces where you are supposed to fill out a lot of "paper"work + jump through a lot of defined processes like in avionics, medical, or automotive field, among a good few others (safety and all that).

>It's probably more tiring to you because you post stuff like that a lot.

Nope, I absolutely do not, nobody in my life has ever accused me of virtue signalling or even implied it. Try again.

>one of these is logically less in volume than the other one

You're absolutely right, accusing someone of "virtue signalling" is certainly more voluminous! The absolute only reason to accuse someone of virtue signalling is because the accuser themselves want to publicly signal their values to others and show their group affinity.
I think the key detail is to look at what happened in the bottom left - in the original drawing, there's dark blue (due to lighting) cloth filling the scene, but the network has instead generated oddly-hued water there, even though on the right side there's sand from the beach shore. There's seemingly no geometric representation driving the AI so it ended up turning clothing into mystery ocean water when synthesizing an image that (for whatever reason) looked like the original one. It's an interesting error to me because it only looks Wrong once you notice the sand on the right.
Some can, and do, although not usually with privacy in mind.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT for the main example, although even in cases where IPv4 exhaustion is not as imminent, you might be assigned a dynamic IP address. (Whether that dynamic IP address rotates on a regular basis is another question... but it's really just the ISP reserving the right to do so.)

In general, you need some stable identifier for a connection. Traditionally (namely with TCP) that's been the "5-tuple" (source IP address, dest IP address, protocol, source port, dest port). This provides network routability and dispatch to the appropriate application within a host. Your ISP can't just rotate your IP address without breaking all of your existing TCP connections.

With QUIC, that identifier is now the QUIC connection ID (although you still have the 5-tuple). Connection migration (if supported by the application) could allow you to persist a connection across lower-level protocol events (even something as drastic as switching from WiFi to 4G, where you might not even have the same ISP).

I came to write the same comment as cool-RR. I'm not sure I ever copied a code block from an open source project. I copied plenty of code blocks from gits, stackoverflow and blogs. Those are the media that could be starved off by a massive use of Copilot.

There could be a problem for open source projects (and closed source ones as well) if Copilot could autocomplete with code from private repositories. I can't remember if it looks at them too.
Look in to Zoho. I think that is a best alternative to Hubspot CRM.

> I get that change always comes with resistance, but I will never understand the knee jerk reaction of “they’re morons and they have no idea what they’re doing” that is so common with change.

What's there to understand? In most cases they are morons that don't know what they're doing (and are not doing the change to improve users' lives, but to drive internal promotions for product people).
Lua does fine with only a nil, although it gets a tad annoying when you actually want to store a nil value in an array and end up creating a hole instead. (Arguably, the solution to that problem is to use your own marker object and not a nil when you need some sort of unspecified or default value which is not a literal absence of one.)
Including a system reboot, on the ground, as part of your on going maintenance activities is a fault, or incorrect software.

>Why isn't the "full force" brought in to stop the humiliating series of defeats?

Because Putin doesn't have the power to do such a thing: he is not a dictator, Western agitprop notwithstanding.

Same reason Bush had to invent a phony "war on terror" excuse to get around the requirement that he get - democratically - Congress' permission to declare war on the world.

>I don't think even Russian MoD claims that there is no Russian regular army in Ukraine. Who told you that?

The Russians themselves. You probably don't have access to their statements, though .. or haven't tried very hard to find them yourself.

This was a "special military operation" because Putins Presidency is not a total dictatorship. Conditions for declaring total war were not in place - they are now, however. The West likes to think this "special military operation" represents the totality of Russian military power being applied - and failing - but this is a very, very dangerous mistake to make.

Probably the fact that in the US any malaria patient would be quickly diagnosed, isolated and treated plays a big role? It makes it a lot less likely that they would transmit it to the next mosquito.

Also in poor countries most people also get bitten in their house at night, with not screend doors or quality windows. I would assume this is pretty rare in well developed countries in comparison.

Nah it won't. The timescale for it to lock is much faster than anything else - it'll stay locked the whole time.
I'm in favor of this. You can't ingest code that says "you cannot use this without attribution", put it through a bunch of if statements that strip the license, and then say it's "AI-generated". I don't care about most of our generic CRUD apps or the 15th rewrite of a sorting algorithm, but I do care about those smart enough to advance the field and come up with novel solutions. If we take away the incentive for attribution and recognition, people won't be as willing to share and we'll all be worse for it.

Like someone else said, there was a version of this where they asked people to opt-in and got community involvement. In true MS fashion, they just did it without asking and people are rightfully pissed.
Hi! There is definitely something wrong going on. It'd be great if you file an issue at https://github.com/intellij-rust/intellij-rust/issues and attach your logs. We'd like to investigate this.
> A human quoting a human without attribution

... as opposed to AI. At the heart of the matter lurks a debate whether AI is an independent phenomenon which behaves in its own right, or a just a tool that's created and wielded by humans against a backdrop of clear incentives and motivations.

The argument isn't about whether or not the law deals in a absolutes - it's a basic principle that law is tested in courts through interpretation - the argument is that co-pilot can be perceived as merely a means to an end and that GitHub / Microsoft have created a massive mountain of liabilities for themselves.
> We had specific projects where we easily burned out dozens of engineers

"Amazon" is named after the rainforest, and like the rainforest, developers are an infinite resource that you can burn down forever and there will never be any consequences .. until somehow you run out.

Really the only solution to this is for people to withdraw their labour - not just unionization but refusing to work for them in the first place.
With crappy Internet connection you still can do remote development (it doesn't take much bandwidth, after all it's mostly text). But what if you need to download dependencies/docker images or upload e.g. docker image? With a remote development you can offload that to a beefy server with gigabit connection.

> A Germany-based law firm has since declared that it represents Telegram, but this wasn’t enough to prevent the fines being issued, the Federal Office of Justice said.

I get the impression that they do have a presence. Not sure if the government can somehow punish them for not paying, but I don't think Telegram wants to go head on against the government; the government will move to block them and put them on a wanted list (figure of speech). That's bad for business.
The article says that knowing the hiding places could inform efforts to kill them in the dry season. I assume that it would be easier with more time to do that in the dry season, as soon as they start breeding again you're batteling an exponential increase. Maybe if one would know what kind of place they look for to spend the dry season, traps could be built?

It also says that knowing that they stay around is good evidence that spraying insecticide at the start of the wet season is a good strategy.
My Search for a Reliable Breakfast

I think readers would be surprised to find out how poorly some regions of the Caribbean or Africa are charted. It's common for source data to be from the 1950s, for some ports I have seen tidal harmonics that were first recorded on rolls of paper. Charts of the arctic still relying on data from Cook(at least it doesn't change much thanks to it being rocky...)

I doubt many will shed a tear for the super yacht owners of the world but with their desire to go to ever more exotic locations they have highlighted how poor our data is for some parts of the world.
Oh, certainly, with some coordination there's a lot you can achieve, and it would probably be much more than 100TB. A friend of mine had barely above 1TB seeding and iirc that was somewhere in the top 450-500, so top 100 probably had much more.

It's still a lot to store (and maintain) individually, so unless they're still going with that private exchange, each tracker end could mean someone not migrating to the next installment and their part of the library being lost. The Eye is doing a lot of public-ish work in that area (seen with very mixed feelings in the tracker scene, because apparently they're not just archivists but also jerks).
This is not about monitoring; this is about a missing "report" button. If someone adds me to a group distributing illegal content in Germany, the law states that I must have a mechanism to report it. This is about a _participant_ reporting things, not a third party spying in.

Microsoft invested $1B in OpenAI in 2019, the valuation is probably somewhere in the neighborhood of $5-20B.
How is the US - as a society - okay with companies like Amazon abusing their employees, deny them union representation while paying them a starvation wage?

These companies abuse the total breakdown of the US's social security network; the US made it so bad that people are actually forced to work in such conditions. Together with the almost total dismantling of the unions in the US, this leaves low skilled workers no way to fight back.

It's not as bad in jobs were you need to have even a little training and need to invest in your workers. But in Amazon's case the brutality of this system is laid bare.
> Also, this article doesn't mention brain rewiring: if we hand over modern smartphones to the average 2002 computer person, they would have no idea how to use it "where's the cursor", " how do I move windows", "why is my screen getting junk on its top without my will", " why isn't there a button to switch programs"? We just upgraded our brains to handle that. Same could happen with VR.

Those are not remotely comparable.
Debugging latency (in a Linux system call)
>People have to deal.

And if they cannot, bad for them?

My mom has developed an eye problem, that - while not making her totally blind - makes impossible for her to use Pos' and ATM's, let alone the (crappy) bank website or app. (with a lot of difficulties, in the "right" lighting, in the comfort or her house, she can still read the screen and type on her devices).

She is "technologically advanced" (within limits, she has an iPad and Facebook and e-mail, and a smartphone and Whatsapp and can use them).

Since a couple of years she doesn't use anymore her card(s) simply because she cannot see the Pos or ATM display or keypad, and she has switched (back) to cash-only for the small day-to-day payments, while I manage all the other ones.

If shops started to implement cashless only she would be severely affected, and deprived of the little things she now still enjoys doing, like going out to get a coffee, buy some groceries, etc.
Microsoft laid off around 1k employees citing global slowdown
Projects I work on are cross-platform. When evaluating or comparing CI solutions, is that not a requirement to consider?

And I'm not saying that not supporting yet is a problem, but the docs saying "everything happens in Docker" implies a lack of forward-thinking in the design of the system that wholly excludes working elsewhere (including FreeBSD or other FOSS platforms).

Apparently it is being supported, but the docs will need some clarification now that some of the advertised assumptions are no longer going to be true.

That doesn’t matter, IMHO. Once Copilot manages to copy a work, a copy has been created and copyright has been violated. If this occurence is reasonably likely, then Copilot is wittingly assisting in violating copyright.

Edinburgh is exceptional though - as well as being one of the most beautiful cities in the world it also has a fairly compact city centre with pretty good public transport links.

Hard to believe that we almost got Glasgow style inner city motorways:

NB I lived in the centre of Edinburgh for over 30 years before moving across to Fife and commuting in by train - which is generally a pretty pleasant experience.

Edit: I very rarely drive into Edinburgh - its generally a nightmare.

> It’s not rocket science

And an earth rod, right?

Anyone can stick a breaker in, run some cable, but it takes the rocket scientists to consider neutral fault conditions, causing potential between your home, charger, car and literal earth.

It might not apply to you. Your charger might have built in protection (many don't) or your supply might be grounded to the literal earth… but this is why we have building regs and people to follow them. Even if you do the work, it's worth a chat with a qualified electrician, and to have them inspect your work. It could save your life.
We had a bug years ago that after 50 days of uptime all network sessions dropped on our devices. Apparently it was a session timer overflow in a variable. I think it was unsigned int and time was in milliseconds.

Even if technically possible the economics of nuclear power plants don't favour only using them for peak loads. With gigantic initial captial investment and very low fuel costs (almost?) all nuclear power plants are used for base loads.

It's hard to find current numbers, but capital investment for combined cycle natural gas plants seems to be about a tenth of modern reactor projects in western countries.

I am not a lawyer, but I don't think anyone needs to deploy the code in order to infringe copyright: they just need to distribute the code to a third party (hence copyright -- the right to copy). And on the face of it, Microsoft would appear to have distributed Tim Davis's code, in compressed form, as part of the trained language model in Copilot.
But 2 things can both be true. I do believe that forcing cashless is the only way to tackle evasion, and that's by far the biggest problem in Italy imho.
On the other hand I'm also terrified of the idea of preventing people to transact from the State.
The solution would be to encode the "right to transact" as a constitutional right, and offer 0 interest free accounts to all (which iirc is a thing already in Italy since June 2018?). And then reduce cash threshold hard.
(I know encoding things as a right wouldn't stop an evil state to prevent you from transact, but then the same argument applies to jailing you which also limits your transactions so it's a bit moot)
