But yes, getting old sucks and walking takes some discipline.
I think this is backwards. Everyone assumes people are lazy because of the cars. I propose that cars were made because people are lazy (or, in reality, have no time in this dual income era we live in - walking takes a lot of time, even if it is very enjoyable).

If you make walk-able, mixed-use neighborhoods there is no guarantee people will use them.

In contrast, I bike over 1000 miles a year and walk several times a week. Yet I am not in a walk-able mixed use neighborhood nor have any interest in living in one.

Reminds me of a memorable quote from "halt and catch fire" that changed my workplace-attitude forever:
“I’m so sick of hearing about the future”
“What is that?”
“The future is just another crappy version of the present. It’s some … it’s some bribe people offer you to make you do what they want instead of what you want.”

It stopped working (mostly overtime) on promises that were impossible to keep. In return I got more sleep, social life and very recently a different job.
It's not (necessarily) gossip, if that's what you mean.

Flight crews are generally only together for a couple of days at most, which means a lot of the time you go to work and have a whole set of new coworkers you've never met before - or wait, maybe you did?

Is there any nuance for scope?
Software I've licensed as GPL, I'm concerned about the working software being re-used and re-licensed for something commercial. For a given method out of tens-of-thousands, it's very not-germaine to the overall software to the point that I don't see it is a really relevant (but that is my opinion). Though, if someone likes the opening sentence of the encylopedia (or some other giant work), and an AI says, "this is a good opening sentence - does that really make for "ripping" off? Isn't the covered work the larger contents of the encylopedia, rather than an arbitrarily well written opening sentence? Isn't the big part of the work the ensemble?

I'm starting to wonder about these arguments, and whether we've gone into bad faith and hyperbole territory here. Are algorithms subject to copyright? Is it the case that if a GPL work uses a well known algorithm, that GPL work cannot be used as a reference? (Given that algorithms have very limited forms they can take, using an algorithm as a reference is really just copying it. Even translating pseudo-code to code, it's still the same thing).

Can you explain to me how something like using Eulers formula to solve a math problem would not be copyright infringement? A GPL project might use that formula somewhere, but then using that would be a copyright violation?

How about HTML source code, does putting a 'copyright' notice on the webpage make it invalid to then use any of the javascript, even if it has nothing special to do with the domain of the website?

"selling the contents of peoples “books/movies/songs”

Going to this analogy, I don't know if it is really the contents, but more like the first sentence, or even the first few words of that sentence rather than any recognizable subset of that work.

Like, if I have an app that does a spreadsheet, I don't care if you take an implementation of quick sort from my code as reference, but I do care if you use the same and main features of the spreadsheet app that I made.
I thought that was the bug on my first read. Naming collisions suck.
if you look at housing prices of walkable mixed use neighborhoods in the US, it certainly appears people want to live in them.

Just advertise your availability for a new job as broadly as possible. Post on LinkedIn saying you were laid off, message every recruiter whose emails you've ignored and ping anybody who you've ever worked with who you'd like to work with again.

The big benefit of being laid off and looking for a job is that you have all the time in the world to interview, you don't have to be secretive about the fact that you're looking, and you have a built in explanation for why you're looking that nobody will think twice about.

If you cast a wide net, you'll probably get a fair bit of interest. The one piece of advice I'd give around interviewing is to try to schedule some of your first interviews with companies that you're not necessarily that interested in to help you warm up, since you're going to be rusty. Don't try to go through the full interview cycle with those companies before interviewing with ones you have a lot of interest in (that may leave you in a position where a company you're not that interested in makes a good offer before you have a chance to interview with the ones you really want), but rather try to do the each round of interviews at a couple of less-interesting places a few days before you do the same round at your target places.

Cars were made for game theoretic reasons: As long as few people drive, cars give drivers extreme advantages. When a critical mass of drivers exist, the advantages deminish, but infrastructure investements (now politically viable!) can delay the process. As soon as most people drive most of these advantages disappear regardless of further infrastructure investments, but people who don't drive now suffer from extreme disadvantages that didn't exist before car-centric infrastructure.

Still haven't answered my very simple question. Just drifting off topic.

You are right, I had already forgotten what the link was about. It's a Wikipedia article unrelated to my question. Unless you can demonstrate how this article demonstrate that media are state controlled in the "western world". Also please feel free to define "western world", this might actually be interesting as I might then be able to find a country not on your list and hence a media not state controlled, according to your theory.

Perhaps the only way out of this is to start suing the users of Copilot, much as some jurisdictions target the users of a product (e.g. drugs, prostitution) as a means to shut it down when the providers are too difficult or numerous to challenge effectively.
I agree, it's a beautifully expressive and safe language. Being tied so closely to iOS, thus limiting its impact for eg backend work, really is a pity. I know you technically can use it for backend work but the ecosystem just isn't there, I think people just consider it ios-only unfortunately. To workaround the small ecosystem, you can bridge to existing C libraries but the impedance mismatch makes it very difficult (eg UnsafeMutableBufferPointer<T>).

I do worry about its future however: dual-native mobile apps are less and less popular with product owners with every passing year, the market seems to be moving to flutter. Which is a pity! It's such a great language.

Github is protected by section 230, which states:

> No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider

So the act of hosting copyrighted content is not actually a copyright violation for Github. They're not obligated to preemptively determine who the original copyright owner of some piece of code is, as they're not the judge of that in the first place. Even if you complain that someone stole your code, how is Github supposed to know who's lying? Copyright is a legal issue between the copyright holder and the copyright infringer. So the only thing Github is required to do is to respond to DMCA takedown notices.

Maybe in court which interprets software dev very strictly, but in practice a developer automatically copying a single function from some 'freemium' style licensed library [1] posted publicly on Github - getting autocompleted into a different codebase with many thousands of lines of custom code isn't the same as going into some proprietary codebase and stealing their code to compete / build the same product as another company.

We could come up with scenarios where there might be some fancy algorithms posted on some public Git repo that's super efficient or unique, and that somehow fits into the size of individual functions that could be auto-inserted into some other person's codebase. But IRL that sort of thing is rarely ever going to be the thing that these IDE tools do. At least in a way that meaningfully contributes to another project.

That is still a concern yes, but it's still a niche usecase, which doesn't justify killing off otherwise extremely useful tools.

Maybe I'm being too techno-libertarian here, but I believe
existing courts + public feedback cycles + iterating on how the public code is consumed by these tools + spreading awareness of the issue is enough to address the licensing problems.

The more accurately we explain the problem, the quicker we'll find good solutions.

This isn't supported by the evidence. We see huge increases in the numbers of people walking and cycling when the infrastructure is adjusted to support them.

I feel like the title of the article is literally written for you: """Maybe you don’t mind if GitHub Copi­lot used your open-source code with­out ask­ing. But how will you feel if Copi­lot erases your open-source com­mu­nity?"""

If you want to keep having useful tools based on open source code in the future, it is in your interest that people still want to write open source code. It is still too early to say how much of a chilling effect projects like Copilot will have on that. But clearly many (just read this comment section, myself included) are having second thoughts.

Are you advocating for removing KYC completely, or for making it on par with getting a concealed weapon, or that having a concealed weapons permit should qualify as KYC? This is the problem with using the kind of rhetoric that appeals to emotion -- it doesn't actually get your point across, it just gets people upset about something.

> It's not obvious to me that (2) is a violation of copyright. Unlike patents, copyright violation is not as simple to prove. My understanding is that, at least in the US, independent creation is a valid defense against copyright infringement. For example if 2 people independently write the same story and can prove that they did, they can both hold copyright over that story.

> The analogue to this does exist without AI, when creating something that looks like copyright infringement, clean room design (don't look at similar things) is often done to ensure that "independent creation" can be used as a valid defense in court. Given that, I think (1) is probably not safe to do at all if you can't prevent (2).

I don't think the analogue holds, the AI does have direct view of the actual code. In the most paranoid clean room design you have two teams, one analyses the behaviour of some software and writes a specification (without view of the source code), the other then uses that spec to write the reimplementation.

Copilot turns that on its head, you ask to do something it then looks up the source code how to do it and gives that to you.

Our solution wasn't exactly cheap, however. It was the only good option for homes on a couple of private streets adjacent to mine, so we did it anyway.

I pay $155/mo for now, getting a public static ipv4 address and symmetric 10 gbps without a cap.

I'm satisfied with the result, but I absolutely wouldn't have spent so long organizing my neighborhood if I could've just signed up for cable like most people in most suburbs.

And if I'm to be blunt, I regret choosing to live in the town at all. The home turned out to be far more broken than the disclosures let on and doing the remodeling work is a nightmare exercise in dealing with a local government that behaves like an HOA. But I'm trying to make the most of my bad decisions.

I don’t think it’s an accident that I’ve had more testing mentors than anything else. Testing is hard. There’s a huge number of mistakes you can make and I’ve only made 70% of them so I deflect people calling me an expert. I’m not an expert, but I can look at tests and enumerate all of the rookie and sophomore mistakes, and let me tell you that can keep some people busy for their entire tenure.

I don’t say it in front of policy people much, but I immediately suspect anything as hard as this of being done incorrectly.

I consider GPL as meaning, "don't make the same app as me using this very source code". Cribbing one method out of quarter million line code-base, hardly seems to be redistributing the source code. Literally, it is, but is there no concept scale? Can we go to an extreme and force anyone with a `catch(Exception e)` line in their Java code to go and prove they did not take it from a GPL (or similarly licensed project)? I think this indicates there is a line, at some point it is enough code where you are recreating the functionality of the software - to me that is the thing that matters. I don't give a crap if you use my GPL code to learn from and use any parts of it to build whatever software, but I do care if you recreate the same software using my GPL code.

I would accept a claim of license violation if someone used copilot to autocomplete so many methods from one specific project that you have recreated that original project.

I still think it is a matter of scope. It can still be the case that a relatively small module is not cool to lift, but I think in this case we are still talking about such small subsets of functionality that it is completely divorced from the original software. Like, I could see it if a specific method were really key in some way to a unique application, a very novel solution to a difficult problem - but if that were the case, how can an AI possibly use that for a training model? In other words, the auto-suggestions of an AI are going to be common coding solutions to common coding problems that the AI has seen hundreds of thousands of times. That individual proprietary GPL, unique and novel solution is not really the stuff of an AI suggestion. In other words, the code that co-pilot is going to suggest is going to be non-unique, generic, and not really specific to the overall application at all.
Agreed. This is a fixable problem.
That's how common law works, it's not disgusting, (unless perhaps you're an overzealous adherent of civil law) nor is it ex post facto. Legislation is produced, (claimed) grey areas are challenged in court, if the outcomes appear unfair then legislators (should) update the law.

Badly written law and poor legislators are a problem in any system.
