Sad news, but heartening that even with long exposure to space conditions (zero gravity, radiation, perhaps others I haven’t thought of), space explorers reach reasonable old age. John Glenn also reached the age of 95.

> Computers do have such accurate memories, and machine learning systems, which are optimized for things like maximum likelihood estimation, can and do reproduce both copyrightable and non-copyrightable elements of works that they've been trained on. After all, the maximum likelihood continuation of a fragment of a text or a song is ... the complete original work. And the ability to reproduce the complete original work would, other things being equal, reduce loss in training. After all, that's something someone might specifically ask for, and if the system could oblige, it would be doing a better job of providing what the user wanted.

This actually depends on how you train the model. Techniques such as using unlikelihood to penalize plagiarizing models exists. Microsoft/OpenAI are of course aware of those techniques but have chosen not to use them. The reason why is not difficult to figure out. Because the model hasn't learned how to implement sparse matrix multiplication in C, it has learned how to spit out someone else's code with a few variable names changed. Not unlike how many CS students not cut out for software development try to pass their entry-level programming courses. Professors use anti-cheating software to catch cheating students. Such software would catch Codex too and expose it as incompetent. Hence why it is not used.

Disclaimer: Running Umbrel since a year and I think personal servers on the cusp of a revolution.

Pretty much like how google, mail and social networking websites served as the gateway drug for client server apps and cloud server, Bitcoin/Lightning/Ethereum are increasingly looking like the gateway drug for home server apps and home servers itself. And Umbrel has completely convinced me of this.

I agree, build something. But I don't think it has to be anything too 'juicy', especially not at this stage.

At this point I think it's about building something that will be a bit of a stretch but nothing too big that it's too difficult, too long, as that will only demoralise the poor person.

In the past I've known people who found a little project for themselves, a couple of times I've had to provide make up project briefs because they were unable to come up with one of their own.

I can think back on my own trajectory and the real stepping stones were the ones I was able to finish.

The other advice is to try to join an IRL programming community like a local meet up, if they still exist in 2022.

Question for all those who are pro Copilot in this argument and are claiming fair use. Do these same rules apply if I manually copy someone elses copyrighted code into my codebase ?
Being a kid has changed drastically in the last 5 years. A combination of the pandemic and technological change I think. Even five years ago the 10 year olds would meet in groups with mixed gender at the playground. I was playing with my small children while reminiscing on how I used to play outside like that.

Nowadays, not so. All I see is smaller groups (2-3) of one gender hugging phones. So the trickle down of all things smart has reached the bottom now. This is changing society. Off course, I know that complaining about change and youth is as old as Socrates. But still, reading is gone, making music is gone, the social interaction between sexes is gone. You know that image of all machines transplaced by the smartphone? The same has happened for all things cultural. I'll play Socrates here and refuse to believe that consuming on TikTok is a cultural good. This time it's different.
> If this can continue along with the current weather forecast this winter does not look that bad and gas prices should move towards a stable level albeit materially higher than before the Ukraine invasion, likely around 100 euro for TTF

The average price before all this inflation took off was of about 15 euros for TTF. When, last October, the price had reached 130 euros for TTF (meaning the current level), the EU was all up in arms against the "speculators" [1]. All this to say that even a 100 euro per TTF price won't do any good in the medium to long term for most of the European industry, meaning they'll have to go bust.

> There are many places where bus comes every half an hour, and there are on average 1-2 passengers on it

Well, no surprise there are so few passengers: the bus comes every half an hour! Make it once every two hours, and there will be no passengers at all.

"Every half an hour" is an option for the desperate. Also, that bus is probably stuck with cars when there's heavy traffic, while being slower than cars when there isn't. And it does not go exactly where you want to be. Would _you_ use such a bus service if you weren't forced to due to circumstances?

> I don’t mind a UI refresh

Sadly it’s not actually just a UI refresh but a UI downgrade because they’ve actually removed key functionality, not just tweaked some visual styling.

It’s a completely different tool window layout mechanism with far fewer tool windows that can be open at the same time. I rely on having my source control, embedded terminal, problems window, commit window + more all simultaneously visible. It’s key to my workflow to have a number of key windows open and their new layout throws this all away.

So far its the most disruptive and user hostile “UI refresh” I’ve ever seen and will see me moving back to Visual Studio if they persist with it.
I'm betting by next week.
That’s a fine opinion to hold, until you work on applications that you cannot debug for one reason or another.

As a fellow debugger lover, having to basically use log statements instead of being able to reach in and debug was a rude awakening. Some people probably don’t know that debugging can be easy with the right combination of IDE and language. Or the billion software layers mean that the debugger fails to attach for some reason which can’t be figured out.

I believe the argument being made is that in _actual, real-world_ use of copilot, no copyright infringement happens. In order to make an informed decision as to whether you agree with that, you can try copilot to reach an informed conclusion. There is no cost to try it. Unlike your example, where "trying" has an immediate cost -- which is why that example doesn't make too much sense here.
Also the 1 billion people capitulating to Taiwan is like government by minority. Not sure if anyone fully thought out that plan. In an actual democratic government, Taiwan would get subsumed by mainland China if the two countries merged.
This only seems to be an issue from an ideological point of view and not a technical one. On small projects it bothered me that I can't immediately see if something is an old entry or a new one just by glancing at the ID.

In any bigger project it's just noise and IDs are not helpful information anyway, not even at a glance. It's better to just ignore them, use bigint and move on.

I think you're overplaying the angle of brain rewiring to learn how to use a phone. That was just learning how to use a tool like any other. A very different thing is using a tool that makes people feel physically sick.

My guess is that people will prefer to avoid a chance of feeling cybersick when they can just use some other form of entertainment / display that is guaranteed not to cause any sickness, even if the device is superior when it works without side effects.
Have you seen the news in the UK this week?

She's had a terrible week (and that's saying something given her premiership to date).

She had to sack the chancellor that enacted all of her campaign promises, bring in a new chancellor who has undone all of her campaign promises.

Some of the polls coming out suggest the Conservatives would be in 3rd place at a General Election behind the SNP.

Interesting and relevant post from David Allen Green [1] about the historical origins of the title 'Prime Minister'.

> It was a title that was used just to describe the most dominant minister of the day, the one who controlled the cabinet and had the confidence of parliament – usually the First Lord of the Treasury but sometimes not.

> And if today one asked an alien looking down from space who was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, that alien would assume it was Jeremy Hunt.

Is this really a bad thing, though? I mean, personally, recognition seems important. I've withheld patenting certain inventions that became commercial products a half dozen times in my life.

That some specific instance of a discovery or whatever becomes the mainstream version is, well, it's irrelevant. Who discovered calculus? It doesn't actually matter because calculus works without some belief system and worship. Traffic routing algorithms? yes, if the person is alive and kicking, being able to lay claim to some algorithm or novel solution is a CV bullet point, but, and i say this with the utmost respect: most people are one hit wonders. If they can ride that "fame" to higher pay or respect, cool. But in the grand scheme, it's irrelevant. Ideas should be spread far and wide, so that people who have a greater understanding can explain the ideas to those without an understanding.

This is no better than the belief in rain deities that used to be widespread in more traditional societies. No, "machine learning engineers" won't magically make (and especially transport and store) energy out of nothing. We've taken this "de-materialisation" thing to the next level, to our detriment. Not everything can be fixed and even less created with the use of software.
It's not dangerous. Other countries have managed with their parliamentary system out of action for extended amounts of time. That's the point of having strong institutions and a civil service. The Tories haven't totally destroyed that yet, despite their efforts.

Uh? What about projects that are mirrored on github? Why are their original authors being punished if they don't even own a github account?
From a democratic point of view the only thing that makes sense to me now is a snap election.

The Tories have now had one PM resign in disgrace and then seemingly failed to set up an acceptable new cabinet. I see no reason why they should keep their mandate without renewed voter support.

I suppose the king could instruct Labour to try to form a minority cabinet, but that's beyond my understanding of the procedures of British parliamentary practice.
It doesn't, because that's not how it works.

Copilot doesn't recognize what you're trying to do and then paste a code sample from a repo it has in its index. Just like DALL·E 2 doesn't produce images that say "I picked these pixels from this image and this part from this other one and these colors from this third one". When a model is trained, it's effectively a set of hundreds of millions of numbers that when combined in just the right way can produce a specific output. In my experience the vast majority of the time Copilot doesn't write code that already exists. It actually uses the variables you declared, the functions that already exist in your code base, etc.

It's not an index of best matches from GitHub for what you're trying to do.
I think that parent’s point was that debugging is an exceedingly powerful tool, and therefore leaving it out of your toolset by definition makes you less powerful as a programmer. It’s not even such an esoteric skill - operating the simplest kind of a GUI debugger is maybe learning 5-6 different actions, and the IDE often takes care of the details of setting up the debugger for you.

> - Animations. Haven't seen them but it will be filled

Seriously, HN? This is the quality that you reward with hundreds of points? Unlike the author, I happen to have used this UI for the past five months and it solves many of my longstanding gripes with IntelliJ:

- Gutters are now much better at highlighting local changes, while also being less visually obtrusive.

- The shaded tool window background nicely separates them from the editor

- Showing the git branch next to the title makes it so much easier to understand where I am, when I work with multiple projects and branches.

- Breadcrumbs in the Statusbar save some space and look much cleaner

---

Also, many of the complaints that I've seen in this thread are either wrong or exaggerated:

- "Monochrome icons" - Only the toolbar icons are monochrome, everything else still uses coloured icons.

- "The toolbar has less icons now" - It's customisable, you can put whatever you want in there. Yes, with colourful icons.

- "More Whitespace" - The vertical space from the top of the screen to the editor is the exact same. The Project view actually looses some vertical space, but only because the font size is bigger (Which you can change obviously). The spacing between the list items is the same according to a designer on Slack.

- "This is just some incompetent designer pushing their agenda on us, breaking my workflow because something something trends" - go touch grass.

And finally, just to be clear: no, there are no animations - everything is instant.
Oh yes, I always tried to keep it friendly towards our users. There were too many sites out there that just kept you going in loops forever to get to whatever you wanted. Thanks for noticing that :)

Our bittorrent tracker was very short lived. It did well and had some pretty good sets on it! But in 2010 when bittorrent was getting a really bad name right after The Pirate Bay case it was easy to get torrent trackers shut down.

One day I got a downtime alert, I think it was mid-2010. I checked the site, gone. The server, unresponsive. I got in touch with the host. He said he'll check with the data center. After a while he got back to me and said: "German police came in and seized your servers." There had been no notice, no warning, no nothing. Just boom, and gone. I asked him: "How can they do this? What do we do?". He said: "Nothing, they just come and take whatever they want every now and then."

I hired a lawyer in Frankfurt to go and check on the case. He said that they had closed the case with no further process because the person in question was unknown. And he ended that email with: "But Nintendo may try something else".

Until that moment, I had no idea that Nintendo was behind the server seizure. I was relieved that the case was closed. Anyway, I still went ahead and resurrected the site sans bittorrent tracker. YOLO and all that.

For the next 8 years, we never really had much trouble after that except the usual DMCA takedown notice here and there and a threatening legal letter sometimes. But pressure kept piling up. I did consider myself small and unimportant fish to fry (compared to say, The Pirate Bay or even current gen videogame piracy websites) but that didn't stop them from going after LoveROMs.

There was always the chance that one day they would just catch me at an airport or immigration (like the kickasstorrents dude) or something and that would be it. Or the police would just knock at my door. I mean, they would have to know who I was provably but I don't think it would be that hard for a government agency. It was just a matter of time that the powers that be would need to lobby the government to get at me.

I didn't want to live my life like that any more.
I never run cargo install or any other package manager download commands without checking the website of the package manager for the right name first, ensuring the author is right, and the commit/update history looks right.

I love Python but pip/pypi and imports always felt wierd to me because of namespaces, package names, special imports "as", etc., maybe this is a bias because I started using them when I was younger and now I'm more experienced, I already know how to use most package managers.

BTW Ripgrep is awesome, I'm learning Rust and it's an inspiration to me, thanks burntsushi!
Is it better / worse (in terms of say performance or security) than Bhyve?
The only added security I can think of on a two factor authentication thing is a fingerprint reader on a physical hardware key, and even that's more of a gimmick than anything. And maybe TOTP codes generated from a password manager, but IMO that already defeats the purpose of two-factor because if your one device with password manager is compromised, they have both password and the second factor.

The four number code IS the added security already.
