> I thought GHC was famously a nightmare to work in?

That's not my experience. I did small changes in GHC when I had less then 6 months of Haskell experience. I felt the code was pretty straightforward.
The idea that women don't do science because they are dumb is correctly dismissed. But let me introduce a different, more interesting, idea. What if most women don't do science because they are smart?

Young people don't care about the numbers, they are impressed by success, and bios of most obscure figures doing science, lets face the ugly truth... aren't good models of success.

We are fixing the wrong problem here, with too simplistic premises (the problem is that people is ignorant / that we don't have exactly the same number of people in each demographic category doing science / That everybody should have the same interests and goals and think in the same way)

When the real problem to address is that working conditions in science are, often, terrible and that our society punish people in many different ways for wanting to be scientists
When they don't do what the m/billionaires bankrolling their campaigns want them to, their funding gets pulled, and redirected to their opponent. It's an excellent system.
> Yes, I agree that it's unclear how to deal with that in the general case at scale. Although cases like OP make me think that we could maybe worry about the grey area after we've dealt with the blatant copies.

The way I see copilot's output is that it's already in the grey zone. As with other models like this there are no snippets in the model. I can for example generate similar looking code to the cs_transpose function in Lua if I nudge it a bit. To me this seems equivalent of someone remembering exactly how a function works (to some extent..) and being able to write it in whatever language without copy pasting.

So the output as far as I understand is very grey. Maybe there's something in the training part that can be discussed, but as I mentioned earlier I'm not sure what else you can do other than check the license of some code or avoid creating copilot in the first place.
> advising them to throw it away and guarantee it was a waste of time?

I didn't say "throw it away" or make any guarantees, let alone claim it "was a waste of time." I didn't even use those words so I suspect you're responding to someone else.

Regardless, he needs to stop and figure out if he's pointing in the right direction. At the moment, he could be 1% correct or 99% correct but he doesn't know and THAT is his sole job atm.
This holds for natural languages too!

I did a linguistics degree as an undergrad, and one of the requirements was coursework/proficiency in two different foreign languages. Unless you planned on actually using both of them, you were strongly encouraged to choose very different languages, rather than (say) Spanish and Italian.

Having learnt a Romance language, I took a year of intensive Japanese (the tones in Chinese were a bridge too far). It was a nightmarish amount of memorization and I juste eked out a passing grade, but the exposure to totally different writing, grammatical, and honorific systems was also really fascinating.
I haven’t seen any side by sides that seem like a lift. Any examples?

I don’t see Midjourney (et al) as remixes, myself. More like “inspired by.”
voters who got the “right answers”

It is a fascist thing to assume that for every political question there is only one "right" answer and all the others must be wrong.
What makes them bad?

I am against Copilot because Microsoft is training the models with public data disregarding copyright (also, doesn't include it's own code).
I'm curious to see the niche, if any, that this is able to carve out for itself. It's low on RAM, but might fit the same sort of profile as a Raspberry Pi W, even on price. That said, the RISC-V architecture will make things interesting--ARM cross-compilation is pretty well supported by most tiolchains now, even for older architectures. Should be interesting to see if that affects community interest, as I think onboard compilation of anything remotely complicated is probably going to be a no-go.
Perhaps. As long as they didn't put $1m and 8000 hours into it.

You do have to have a tangible demo to demonstrate value rather than wax the virtues and amazing features of imaginary vaporware.

Good thing PRC isn't India and has the infra and institutions to move up value chain, which it has consistently over the past decade, from capturing 8$ in iphone assembing fees to 25%/~100$ by iPhoneX to YMTC and other suppliers chasing after rest of BOM, which triggered current US efforts to contain. PRC export data over couple few years reflect PRC exporting much less low-end goods and more intermediate/high end (i.e. passing Germany in car exports), and trend is only continuing specifically because PRC is focused and succeeding in transitioning into high value add production. So PRC not only has talent but also the base to support it, she's is demonstrably moving up various innovation/S&T indexes and value chain. Unlike India, PRC is by all acounts a super power.

>economic strength.

Hence the huge savings rate. Yes, a lot of housing wealth will (hopefully) get inflated away / go up in smoke. There still is significant amounts of general savings currently locked away will naturally be released into consumption, particularly by T1/T2 consumers which is enough to drive demand to sustain competitive indigenous industries. Like the shit tier consumption right now from small % of high-income PRC markets is still enough to make PRC significant market for many global companies, that share is set to increase as population mix shift away from poor migrant workers in informal economy to high income, high skilled workers. Overall the share of consumers who sustains transition into advanced economy will be growing, which is a recipe for economic / comprehensive national strength. The wealth transfer release won't be a surge (deaths spread out over time) but over decades along the predictable demographic pyramid slope that is also relatively easy to plan for. Also historically, countries moved up value chain fine without the recent absurd financialization of "wealth", which is arguably a social detriment. IMO PRC that address issues relating to wealth is one that will be "stronger" than societies that can't.
The person you are responding to is right and your assertion is incorrect. The person you replied to knows the ear delivers a frequency domain representation. They were disagreeing with the FFT part.

The FFT is a specific mathematical construction that carries out a Fourier Transform efficiently through a hierarchy of "butterfly" steps. The ear has no such thing. It is just ~20,000 hair cells, each resonant to a specific frequency. That is, each computation is local, very unlike the FFT.
The article notes that the software encourages landlords to maximize profitability by raising rents and reducing supply.

> RealPage claims its software will increase revenue and decrease vacancies. But at times the company has appeared to urge apartment owners and managers to reduce supply while increasing price.
Think about how time a value like 10K*$75 to a uni with a $50B+ endowment.
I'm curious, does Medium have a reputation for algorithmic banning with no review process?

If it's a person who's reviewing keywords I'd have to think the context would be obvious, and could be specifically crafted to be so if needed.

But if I had reason to be worried about that I'd go set up an inexpensive server at DigitalOcean (etc) and just reference stuff from a medium post if that's where I had an audience I wanted to share it with.

Aside from that, "showing Huckleberry Finn and Pudd'nhead Wilson as anti-racist works" is probably a worthwhile and necessary thing right now, and easy to do. Anyone who's read Twain knows he deliberately exposed the ignorance of racism and cruelty of slavery but apparently he's not read as much these days. If all you're looking for are "offensive words" by today's standards you'll find them there.

His "Joan of Arc" does the same for women's rights. She's tougher, smarter, and more courageous and moral than all the men in that story. I really cannot see how focusing on those attributes of Twain's works could get you booted off Medium, but I could be surprised to learn it can in these "interesting times" we're living in.
> Assuming she could afford the lawyer, and that she lives through the stress and occasional mistreatment by the authority,

To add to that, there is provisions to lock her out of pushing new videos to the platform if the number of unresolved copyright claims passes some low number (3?).

So she loses new revenue until her claims prevail, and of course the entity which the claim is made for knows that and has no incentive to help her (don't they even get the monetization from her videos in the meantime ?)
What are they looking for in a student body?

I never understood the pressure for highest SAT average. There are way more people with lower scores who want an education, and they don't want to go to a school where they have the lowest "aptitude" or preparation.
I think it was meant like, which decision had more favorable results. But this might only shift the problem to the entity to decide what is more favorable.

Aside from that, i agree with you, the "right or wrong opinion" mindset is dangerous.
Yes, Matrix-LED carves out a little hole in the high beam for you so you won't get blinded but the rest is still bright.

Does anyone know if the two cores share memory? The datasheet and manual suggest the same memory map, but the block diagram suggests some kind of distinction between the two cores. Would be an interesting thing to target.
This is excellent. It would be even more fun if clicking on one of the synonyms opened a page for that synonym. I really like the quotes and the esteem for the classical, and myth.

If there was a "sitemap" in the form of a course catalog or sample degree plan, linking to each course, that would make this incredibly easy to follow.
Just like with non-AI parties, I assume MP elected from these parties will retain the very human and individualistic right to go rogue and vote with their conscience not according to parties dictates
For as many centuries men have been called out to go to war, work and die in mines, sail the seas where many met their end and do other hazardous and often rather unpleasant work from which women were spared. Following your logic it would be necessary to ensure that women start working and dying in hazardous professions for a long time, dying or getting maimed at least as much as men do before there is a risk of 'overshoot' (no pun intended).
Man, even skilled labour… there was a gas station near my old house in Saskatoon. One night I was chatting with the guy that was working and we got to talking about work a bit. Turns out he actually has a Masters in Electrical Engineering, but the easiest way for him to come to Canada was to be sponsored by Petro-Can and work at the gas station for, I don’t recall exactly, 2-3 years. He was looking for volunteer work to do to try to stay sharp in the meantime. Crazy!

Well we know that aqueous homogeneous reactors (AHRs) can be very small; we’ve operated them with < 1 meter diameter cores at powers of >5MWth before. A big plant with 380MWth was estimated to be an approximately 2.5m diameter cylinder and 5m long primary reactor and breeding/shielding blanket, power density ~16kWth/L. https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/4123899

Smallest AHRs were ~2 feet or so in diameter and put out ~5kWth, so it’s at least possible that you could deploy them buried in your backyard or something like that.
One could argue they are baiting OP to make a concise statement about Facebook policies. I wouldn’t touch that with 10 foot pole.
It was always obvious to people whow practiced, because the experimental question was too easy, too hard, or both.
This is at Medium’s expense. Not very good.
If that's the case, it seems like someone should be informing Facebook that their DKIM signing keys have been compromised. The impact of that would be much worse than just a forged .eml file sent to a journalist.
It sounds like a cool idea if I get it right (organize links to wikipedia articles in a way that could correspond to a curriculum), but the quality of the curation at least for mathematics looks abysmal. Here are some of the top-level categories:

* Charles Sanders Peirce (the only (!) mathematician with a top-level category to himself, who's arguably more of a philosopher actually) - 46 pages.

* Set theory - 3 pages

* Theory of summation of natural numbers - empty

This fails to be useful for students at so many levels. The entries are at completely inconsistent levels of granularity or concepts, it fails to make any meaningful selection or ranking by importance (another example, it has a top-level category for Chaos Theory but none for Dynamical Systems). And, most importantly, it doesn't correspond to how university curriculums are structured and doesn't work as a useful guide for self-study.

But yeah, it's a wiki, so I guess I shouldn't complain but instead just contribute to improving it.
The demarchists were only several 100 people if I understood correctly, and they definitely ran into some problems. It was a very interesting rendition of a hivemind.
The market is quite different in different countries. It seems that where the OP is located (Poland?) the job market is dominated by "IT companies" as in large contracting shops, not "IT companies" as tech product companies employing huge numbers of in-house developers.
Because they centralize control, as I said in [1].

Put another way, AI's are tools that give more power to already powerful entities.

Diffusion of responsibility. When Joe rando plays his song, it’s easy to see the offender and do something about it.

to a programmer copilot is clear violation, to a writer gpt-3 is clear violation, to an artist dalle-2 is clear violation.
The artist might love copilot, the writer might love dalle, the programmer might love gpt-3.

Its all the same they just dont realize this.
Even though most apartments are not built to withstand a screaming child in the neighboring unit, it's not actually that hard to do and it is relatively cheap. Just needs double-drywall and a little caulk.
> So the lesson here would be: Donʼt start a war, you have to wait until you can credibly claim to be attacked; wage war from the position of the defender.

No, not really. The real lesson is: Win the wars that you start. Bismark did that, Putin is not able to. That's Putin's big mistake.
True, copyright is screwed up and completely incompatible with the 21st century. We should abolish it so that these silly questions of data ownership become irrelevant.

However, until that happens, Microsoft and GitHub cannot get away with blatant copyright infringement like this. No one is interested in their poor excuses either. People get sued and DMCA'd out of existence for far lesser offenses, yet Microsoft gets away with violating the license of every free software and open source project out there? That's fucked up.
Other than the legality of this code being copied almost verbatim - who is the person who would use it? A person who would use it could also write it. If they cannot write it, why would they ever use this very specific code that magically appeared?
Weaponised incompetence can be poetically beautiful and is equally a
worthy counter to the systematic incompetence of Soviet COSPLAN as
late stage self-devouring Capitalism. The more pompous and rigid the
system the more readily it buckles in the face of one well-timed
tactical "misunderstanding".

The Good Soldier Svejk by Jaroslav Hasek epitomises the stance, a form
of political Judo, where one goes happily and enthusiastically along
with the abusive regime waiting for the perfect moment to tie it's
shoelaces together with it's own logic.

Perhaps it is something Americans, with a sincere Protestant work
ethic, find a bit difficult to appreciate, but the Czechs, as the
Poles, having been invaded by one insane, chaotic regime after another
for hundreds of years, have internalised it as "Svejkism". Never
misunderestimate a clever idiot.
Oh look, the DOJ Antitrust Division uses fraud/false statements laws "to fight illegal activities that arise from conduct accompanying antitrust violations..."[1]. To me this company looks like a $10.2B bet on prosecutorial discretion. Remarkable.

The companies that use dsa puzzles in their interviews wouldn't do it if it wasn't reasonably good at avoiding false positives.

Does it test for enthusiasm? Of course not. My company isn't big enough to use dsa puzzles in interviews, and I wish we were. Unfortunately, I've been on teams with a developer who couldn't crunch strings. Leetcode interviews get the job done of avoiding those people (at the cost of also cancelling people like yourself). It's just like tests in college. They suck, and everybody hates them, but they're around because they get the job done.

Your example of 5000 lines is laughably to my point. That's a totally unrealistic filtering process.

To be fair, they didn't say Java, they said JVM. That allows Kotlin, Scala, whatever.

Java is missing so much and has so many design errors (which are acknowledged as errors), I agree that it should be avoided.

I think Rust is a better language, but you can't exactly incrementally convert your Java codebase into Rust very easily. If you stay in the JVM, things like that are much easier.

> What do we have that's about to become another holocaust, for example?

While large scale genocide seems unlikely to be in the near future, the history of the rise of Nazi Germany has many parallels with the current rise of authoritarian governments around the world as well as among the right wing of the US. If there were to be large scale genocide, the conditions that precede such an event are certainly taking place right now within the right wing of the US as well as in authoritarian movements around the world.

Here's a take written by an expert on how much Trumpism, right in the middle of his last term, can be compared to Nazism (short answer: not the genocide part, but other than that, a lot): https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/posteverything/wp/2018/0...

> Politically, the president has certainly taken actions which are in many ways parallel to those of the early Nazi movement. As Evans rightly notes, his propaganda machine would be immediately familiar to Joseph Goebbels’s Nazi office. The recent executive order making administrative law judges political appointees subject to executive power cannot be seen as anything less than an attempt to bring the courts in line with the administration’s political ideology. The Nazis called this “Gleichschaltung,” or coordination, as they sought to co-opt government and private organizations. Even his management style has similarities to Hitler. Like Trump, Hitler was reluctant to surrender too much authority to one subordinate, and so his Cabinet (which he never called) was a den of backbiting and maneuvering underlings seeking the support of Hitler, who was the only one who decided policy. ...

> Let’s again be clear: Trump is not Hitler; Hitler was arguably a far more astute politician with deeply held convictions and the means to turn a fledgling democracy into a totalitarian state, something that should be much more difficult here. Nonetheless, these historical comparisons are not hyperbolic and should at least give us pause.

however, since this article was written, Trump has paved the way for *much* more astute authoritarians like Ron DeSantis etc. to take his place. A takeover of the US by authoritarian fascists and the end of whatever "democracy" the US has, replaced by sham elections that mean nothing while the government is turned into basically an enemy of the people with the exception of a very privileged few, would be a very serious, world changing event, and they are going for it big time right now.
I don’t think copilot is intrinsically a copyright violation, as you seem to be alluding to. Examples like this seem to be more controversial, but I’m not sure there’s a clear copyright violation there either.

If you asked every developer on earth to implement FizzBuzz, how many actually different implementations would you get? Probably not very many. Who should own the copyright for each of them? Would the outcome be different for any other product feature? If you asked every dev on earth to write a function that checked a JWT claim, how many of them would be more or less exactly the same? Would that be a copyright violation? I hope the courts answer some of these questions one day.
All those studies are paywalled and the article has a distinct ideological ring.

Any idea where I could see those studies for free?
As some other commenters have noted, it seems like the copyrighted code is being copied and pasted into many other codebases (shadowgovt says they found 32,000 hits), which are then (illegally) representing an incorrect license.

So obviously the source of the error is one or more third parties, not Microsoft, and it's obviously impossible for Microsoft to be responsible in advance for what other people claim to license.

It does make you wonder, however, if Microsoft ought to be responsible for obeying a type of "DCMA takedown" request that should apply to ML models -- not on all 32,000 sources but rather on a specified text snippet -- to be implemented the next time the model is trained (or if it's practical for filters to be placed on the output of the existing model). I don't know what the law says, but it certainly seems like a takedown model would be a good compromise here.
> I’ve noticed that people tend to disapprove of AI trained on their profession’s data, but are usually indifferent or positive about other applications of AI.

This is a fascinating observation and I think there's a lot of truth to it. But maybe our inference should be that these systems mistreat each of us, even if it's difficult to see unless it's falling on you.

Maybe a more important question than whether or not this is a violation of intellectual property is whether this is a violation of human dignity, not that it's illegal (though in this case, it may be) but that it's extremely rude in a way that we don't necessarily have the vocabulary for yet.
