Hi Markus Söder
I seed until 2.0 or i move the files to their proper locations, whichever comes last. I don't set time limits or anything. I have the unadulterated bandwidth to do this, even if it takes a year or more. My main seedbox actually is on the fritz, and i have a small feeling of guilt that if i am too lazy to fix the box that has the .torrent files, that dozens of people will miss out.

I hand-ripped and released the netflix wii disc once upon a time, and my seed ratio on that was astronomically high.
Reminds me of John Wanamaker's quip re marketing:

"Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is, I don't know which half."
Hm, is there a security concern here?

Someone could use this to

A) Remotely check the presence of any specific file on your machine.

B) Exfiltrate the contents of any file they know the hash of (or possibly more specifically, the hash of each piece? I don't know the protocol details).

Fine if you have a dedicated "I expect the contents to be public" drive or directory, but not something I'd want to do on my OS drive.
Despite the rapid devolvement of the Moon’s rotational at its own polar axis (to a point of having one face of the Moon being tidal locked toward Earth) since its birthing from Earth, I remain curious about the breakage of such tidal locking as Moon’s orbit dramatically continues to expand.
To give some context, I was a real estate agent in Louisiana, working as a property manager, for some time.

> Can you define the "long period" or point somewhere in the article or other source where this is described?

The article mentions that landlords are using the software to run at lower occupancy rates to increase revenue. One specific landlord was mentioning an occupancy rate as low as 95% on 50,000 units (which is quite low). Landlords don't base occupancy rates on short-term vacancies.

> I probably did not read the same text books you read.

The article describes a service that takes private pricing data from numerous competitors, then gives all the competitors pricing and occupancy recommendations as a means of maximizing revenue. There's a good quote in the article about replacing the word algorithm, with a "guy named Bob". If a person was doing this, it would obviously be collusion, because it's a practice that is already illegal, essentially everywhere.

In real estate school, they were pretty explicit about not even walking the edges of collusion; for instance, simply saying "we only price our commissions at 3%" in a room with other brokers could be considered collusion.

> Do the house sellers who hire the same appraiser also collude in your text book? What about people who use Zillow's or Redfin estimates?

An appraiser sets prices based on factors like recent sales in the neighborhood of similar properties and property sizes, age/condition of the house, etc. Everyone can use the same appraiser because that appraiser isn't doing any coordination across the sellers. Two different appraisers, for the most point, should be setting very similar prices.

It could very well be collusion is every broker was using Zillow or Redfins estimate's, especially if they were giving recommendations on holding properties off the market in a coordinated way to maximize profits.

Yeah, but it has nothing to do with what I'm saying.

What you're referring to doesn't exist. Right now it's vaporware, and for all we know, we could be 1 century away from solving it up to human levels.
Correct, it doesn't hold up generally. But it doesn't need to. It holds up here. We do not try things when there is exceptional risk or cost in the trying. Here there is no cost to trying, so it does not make sense not to try.

I believe the argument being made is that in _actual, real-world_ use of copilot, no copyright infringement happens. So it's not just about usefulness.

You reminded me of something I was considering years ago: screens have incredible resolution (DPI) now, and still growing.
Some technologies are based on a backlight and a mask which blocks it in the right spots to form the picture (LCD, LED Backlight) while others actively emit the right colors at every location (OLED, MicroLED).

At some point it would be pointless to keep increasing DPI due to being higher than any healthy person can resolve at a typical distance - but what if we do keep shrinking the emitting elements but arrange them more sparsely (same amount of pixels, but each one is super tiny) - and use the rest of the space for what is effectively a solar panel?

Completely stupid, or did I think of something reasonable? I could see this as a benefit especially on phones, tablets and watches (maybe glasses, absorbing invisible frequencies).

Eclipse has incremental compile. Only parts you changed are compiling and it is not slow at all.

That works in Eclipse perfectly well - except that code completion and suggestions are much better then the ones you get in Idea.

IOW, from my understanding, they don't care. Big players do their own checks anyway, and small fish won't be creating problems because it's too convenient for them. Classic Microsoft (as I know from 90s).

In some places it is actually illegal to install an AC at home. For example in Switzerland. Unsure about Germany.
You need to remember - 1998, no Windows software was particularly "free". If you wanted to upgrade, you paid. The company I was working for was stuck at Delphi 1 (as the code was 16bit and had an in house 16bit DLL that needed to be replaced and was core to the application.) Some of the other products were on Delphi 2 or 3. Once we reengineered the DLL (it was using pure 16bit assembler to implement a look-up tree in memory, so it took them a while to make a 32bit version), we moved on. I think we were on Delphi 4 by the time I left around 2000.

Next 3 companies I worked for were using Delphi 5, despite Delphi 6, 7 and 8 existing by that point. Same reason - if it isn't broken, you don't need to jump to the next best thing.

Also worth noting - the company I directly worked for after the one above was a Borland partner in the UK and Borland outsourced training and consultancy to them (I was under Borland NDA) and we therefore had access to pretty much all the Borland software (I have a copy of the first Kylix Beta somewhere still I think)
My point was not that those critical of CoPilot are in a majority, it is that our perspective is important because our labour is what makes copilot possible.
I honestly prefer the new UI. To hell with the old one.

Why cant someone who prefers no change just use the old one and do no updates.
Ah okay, thanks :)
I'm not sure how much of that is the UI, and how much of that is just that it's unbearably slow. I feel like the UI could work quite well if it actually loaded roughly instantly.
I guess if your IDE is as responsive as anything else locally and only the compiling and runtime happens in the cloud it might be somewhat pleasant to work with.

> Was any data lost between the two services?

Yes, absolutely, a lot.

Even though some people have automated their setup very well and have been downloading (and uploading on the newer trackers) a lot, it's just a giant amount of content, it's unlikely for any one person to have it all, and coordination was very limited back then.

The birthday release of the torrent db of what.cd includes 2.6m torrents in 1.2m groups (aka individual releases), in total weighing in at 588TB (or 421TB is you discard mp3, but there was content that hadn't been available in FLAC). That's doable on an SWE salary today if you're dedicated, but what.cd was shut down in 2016, and you'd still need to deal with the ratio system during collection.

There is no obvious violation or obvious not violation. It is a matter of fair use and it will be settled in court. Using copywritten code and not open souring the derivative work (copilot's model) may very well be a violation.

It would be nice if there was a way for the people to request an election anytime.

For example... Anyone can gather 100 signatures asking for an election. Then the electoral commission will select 1000 people at random from the electoral register and ask them "Should the UK hold an immediate election?". And then if the majority of those responding say yes, then an election happens.
As someone who has used copilot since the early beta days, what I think people are saying is that nobody uses Copilot to generate full functions like this. It's more of an intelligent auto complete. It's fantastic for repetitive autocomplete where certain things have to be changed, and for quickly getting out boilerplate code. You can put a list in a comment along with a format and generate data structures quickly and easily. You can solve small problems quickly, allowing you to focus on the bigger picture.

It's sort of like a power tool — sure, you could use a screwdriver, but a drill with a screwdriver attachment will be quicker. Hammers are good, nail guns are quicker. You'd never expect someone to use a drill with sd attachment if they'd never used a screwdriver before.

There are for sure things to be improved, such as the recent post on how you could put in a very specific seed and get out a specific function that it shouldn't. The answer here isn't to shut down the project, at a net loss for everyone, but to find ways to improve it.

As others have said, with Copilot gone and the new demand created, the vacuum will bring in community projects that will happily scrape every public repository they can get their hands on.

On top of that, you usually want to isolate the container workload with an observable network abstraction instead of granting it full (albeit non-root) access to host network facilities (including sockets).

>If Copilot itself is infringing then so is GPT-3, DALL-E 2, NovelAI, and Stable Diffusion.

Not necessarily. Copilot is a special case because it is using licensed code and the model is a derived function. There is an interpretation where it needs to be open sourced.

Hygiene is a key aspect of cleaning in the food industry. Food processing conditions are very strictly controlled in terms of cleanliness and therefore must be cleaned with an emphasis on ecology.

The laser cleaning is the ideal solution in this case, as it is a very thorough cleaning process and it is also easy to integrate into the production line.

At our company we came to the same conclusion. We have a DSL that is essentially a programmable schema to describe the shape of the data (more specifically a contract) you want to capture as well as how answers and decisions are derived from it. The only hard validation we have are types, eg. you can't put letters in a box that captures a number type. Other than types the rest is soft-validation which means that you can input anything, even if it is partial or not quite correct, and the system will do its best with what it has. In tandem, at any point in time you can ask the system to tell you what is missing and/or incorrect. All this then affects the lifecycle of the information, ie. you can't move past certain checkpoints in the workflow if the information is not in the required shape. In the context of a medical software imagine you can fill in just the things that will get you back meaningful answers to help you treat someone and you can deal with the rest after to make the case complete.

I could, i guess, try to load an old kernel. i tend to clean out /boot, and if the package manager deletes my kernel source all i have is a .config. I would lean toward .config diffs, but it is possible that my distribution kernel maintainers made specific patches that made this networking stuff "optional" - as is spectre and rowhammer and other speculative execution mitigation "optional". I just know my torment with networking started about 5 months ago at the closest. I didn't upgrade kernels between February and May 31st of 2022, so if it happened in there, i wouldn't be able to track that down without some sort of distro-specific archive of kernel releases.
> By what process do you think there would be one?

To give an extreme answer: a general strike.[0]

The government has already shown that it will remove senior ministers in response to market turmoil, so this sets the precedent that something like a general strike (which would be hugely damaging to the economy) could be enough to remove Truss.

In the short term that might only lead to a new "caretaker" PM who will attempt to run things for the next couple of years, but it might also embolden those who organised the general strike to try again, and again, until an election was called.

Oh, so there's people that don't know how to use containers, so they're bad? What kind of patronising, nanny state kind of argument is that?

Listen, I understand not liking containers. That's fine. But just say so, or try to give more concrete arguments to the table than "I saw a guy in a video creating an insecure container. Thus Docker creates ignorance."

As if configuring servers by hand isn't prone to misconfiguration or bad security practices. Perhaps we have namespaces today because people have been creating insecure, unmaintainable pet systems since the stone age, yet it doesn't save you from hurting yourself if you don't know what you're doing.
