>Instead, the translation service understands language patterns (i.e. syntax, semantics, common phrases). In the same way, Copilot translates from English to Python, Rust, JavaScript, etc.

The statement that language models actually understand syntax and semantics is still subject of significant debate. Look at all discussion around "horse riding astronaut" for stable diffusion models and the prompts with geometric shapes which clearly show that the language model does not semantically understand the prompt.

If you want a massive corpus of training data theb you can create it by hand like grandpappy used to do rather than just thieving it whilst telling yourself it is fine.
No reason to use them on C++ method definitions.

void engine::callback(std::span<float> output)
{
std::size_t samples = 0;
if (stream_)
{
samples = stream_->read(output.data(), output.size());
if (samples == 0) stream_ = nullptr;
}
auto remaining = output.subspan(samples);
std::fill(remaining.begin(), remaining.end(), 0.f);
}
With high probability, what's happened here is this code is an important piece of code-infrastucture in that it's copied into a fair number of places. Which means humans are copying it without attribution or downstream of someone who did while relevant license is not propagated anywhere near as reliably.

It doesn't change licensing issue but it does mean people are already copying and using copyrighted code without respecting original license and no AI involved.

There should be a way to reverse engineer code LLMs to see which core bits of memorized code they build on. Another complex option is a combination of provenance tracking and semantic hashing on all functions in code used for training. Another option (non-technical) is a rethinking of IP.
The difference is that you could go your whole career without needing to touch C, whereas to run you must walk.

Why is it always worth it? If I want to be a product/creative developer how does learning C specifically help me?
As far as i am french, please explain to me.
Ok, the confusing parts are first the computing environment: So, Tcl was ported from Unix to Unix. To me they sound the some environment, but I guess you could just claim otherwise. Second: The "port" was achieved by source-to-source compilation and is unmaintainable by itself. Yet somehow "Porting is not compiling." Where exactly is the port?

That's what https://superkey.app/ does.
Exactly, the chain of custody is absolutely required for this to be legal because no oracle can exist. It must be able to attribute exactly who contributed the suspect code. It must be able to handle the edge case where some humans might publish code without permission.

Either that or we effectively get rid of software copyright as copilot can be used (or even claim to be used) to launder code of license restrictions. Eg No I didn't copy your code, I used copilot and it copied your code so I did nothing wrong.

I don't see the real problem here. By its nature, FOSS software cannot be monopolized. If party A decides to replace a legit license with one of these commercial source-available licenses, just fork the last commit using the original license and develop from there.

Oh but wait -- the community, the contributors, the users are all attached to the original project. Well, that's competition: make your version better, advertise the licensing issue; poach the original community.

How about Rust audio (https://github.com/RustAudio) and then FFI?

I am developing the audio lib for the music live coding language I design in Rust and I think the experience of Rust is really good, because of `cargo` (the package management), the community, the syntax and compiler, the ergonomics, and so on. For one of my usages, the audio lib in Rust compiles to wasm and runs in browsers smoothly. I can also write VST plugins with the same audio library in Rust:

https://github.com/chaosprint/glicol

There are also many other Rust audio libs such as dasp, fundsp and hexosynth, all worth checking out. Before I became addicted to Rust audio, I had checked some C++ audio project, such as the Maximillian lib especially the JS bindings, the source code of SuperCollider and the JUCE for VST. But apparently I have made my decision for the reasons abovementioned.

this is a good argument against AI direct democracy, but I think it relies on the presumption that political representatives provide a moderating function on the lizard brain. Seems to me that they actually amplify it, just look at political campaign promise, it's all promise no real talk. Perhaps there is a way to program in hangovers, so that lizards and the AI can learn together what is a good or bad idea, from feedback. In time, we might even be able to model this and accurately predict what a good or bad idea might be
hey, thanks, that also looks pretty interesting.
The data might be licensed under CC-BY-SA, but as far as I can tell, the service itself is proprietary. The code isn't open source, and you can't just run your own server to use the app completely privately (which you can do with many other F-Droid apps). IMO it's worth calling out.
Lane following isn't the hard part of self driving cars. I wouldn't say it's trivial, but it's a minor detail compared to everything else that also needs to work reliably 99.9999% of the time.

Such infrastructure might help make cheaper lane-keep assist as standard options I guess, but at the speeds where it matters for safety, you need significant look-ahead on the trajectory rather than just lateral position error.

I suppose you could go crazy and embed some sort of NFC into the road, so that it can communicate the lane geometry. It could probably even be done cleverly, perhaps by embedding multiple nails and encoding curvature in their spacing, or maybe in the orientation of the magnetic flux itself. All that to avoid some front facing cameras and image processing, though, that can also be used to detect other cars and pedestrians.

How do you feel about the sentence: billionaires pay politicians to write laws?

Regardless of the truth of that sentence, I think it muddies the idea of where the authority lies.

That's why I think a rather agnostic way to look at it is more interesting. Who do laws apply to and how are they applied? Laws always apply to those without power no matter the society, so it's only interesting how laws apply to those with power or if laws that apply to those in power are written at all.
I am loving the responses to your comment. I want to add that as a grown man in my forties I have a couple of Rasberry Pis and a BBC micros along with some interesting components from Aliexpress which I have done absolutely nothing with but pack neatly away for a few years now. One day.
How would it know if you haven't changed your RAM?

Consider that using the same settings with different parts might lead to subtle instability, not a full on-boot crash.
Better to evaluate the study based on its content rather than the perceived biases of its authors. Every one has incentives and preconceived notions that may bias any study they conduct.
Linux, really has a problem and no one seems to care, if your HW is to old you have a problem, like my T61p RHEL9 panics a boot-time, but no problem, the kernel is anyway to new for the nvidia 240 series of drivers.

The original comment was about historical tunings with unequal spacing between each note, optimized for perfect ratios between certain notes. This has a drawback of being quite incompatible with some transpositions.

Modern tuning with 12-TET is not perfect, but good enough, and doesn't yield very dramatic differences when transposed.

Privacy in good weather apps that are innovative can be tricky. Phones have enough sensors like barometers to be useful weather stations, and collecting that data could improve forecasts. But that also includes accurate location data, and making a useful forecast model from data collected on device is significantly more challenging when you account for privacy needs.

The “telling state of tech” may be that our hardware has outpaced our ability to socially reason about how useful weather data should be collected and shared, or not shared.
These are screenplays. Normally they would stay in a drawer forever and nobody would see them. That's what the writers expect. Now they have a new life, and maybe the writers have new opportunities too.
Are there windshields with automatic dimming? Surely they can put an LCD or something over it and gradually darken the part where the passengers are looking at the road, so that oncoming high beams are dimmed.
I wish it could also do the machine code version like on .NET languages.

Maybe there is a way to plug hsdis into the workflow.

Indeed. That's why I like the privacy cards on the iOS App Store a lot. For apps like this, it makes it really easy to spot the ones that'll record my location data on their servers for some reason.

It's the same with fitness tracking apps, so many of them send health data to their servers, but there are a few (often paid ones, of course) that seem to store important data only locally.
> That sounds like a you problem, not a us problem.

This stance allows me to do whatever do I want with any software or work you put out there, regardless of the license you attach to it, since it's your problem, not mine.

However, this is not the mode I operate ethically.

> As of yet, no court has said that any of this is illegal.

I assume this will be tested somehow, sometime. So I'm investing in popcorn futures.

> Your objection simply doesn't matter, until there is a court case that supports you. You can't do anything about it, if that doesn't happen.

You know, this goes both ways. Same will be very valid for your works, through your own reasoning.
I use the web site that has proven to best predict the weather in my area along the years. Firefox with UBo on both desktop and Android. It's pinned on Firefox home page on my phone. I think that I could put in on the home screen of the phone as well but I don't care.

Leaving properties vacant is an absolute killer to revenue. I’m reading a lot of people in this discussion cite that property managers are comfortable with vacant units because of all the extra money they’re making off of raising the rents, but you’d need to raise them an incredible amount to justify even a single month of vacancy. Normally 5% is reasonable, but if that number slides it really kills profits.

I guess what I’m saying is that the incentives are aligned here: property managers want to see units occupied, and so does everyone else.

Will they lower prices until 100% occupancy? No, there needs to be some unoccupied units or there would be no liquidity in the market (if there are no houses to rent and you want to move to a city, how could you move?).

An intelligent person just has to apply themselves to grasp a difficult concept. An unintelligent person cannot grasp the concept no matter how much effort they put in.

But the purpose of the author seems to be social rather than truth seeking. If people believe they are stupid and don’t try, it’s likely they are not succeeding at the level they possibly could.
Of course it is possible; check your kernel parameters and remove "quiet splash" to disable it permanently. For one-time, just press Esc.

Most compiled languages have offered switches to generate Assembly.

Even on JVM and .NET there are ways to dump it, while on the various JVM implementations it requires a plugin if not using a debug build, on the .NET side, you can use show Assembly on Visual Studio, or make use of WinDBG with SOS plugin.
It was! It was light weight (visually anyway) and had a ton of great content on the front page. The writing experience was great and the reading experience had the killer feature of being able to highlight stuff (something I now do all the time via hypothes.is). Oh right, and claps! My favorite way to measure appreciation (just enough effort so mean something)!
Sure, but I'm fine with sharing my data for that purpose. I also have an app that registers any possible earthquakes and shares that data with a centralized server for analysis. I'm perfectly fine with that, as long as they don't sell my data to anyone who wants to market earthquake safety equipment or wants to track my location.

Transparency on the use of data is important to make decisions on this type of stuff. If a weather app requests access to my barometer to improve predictions, independent of my personal data, I would fully comply with that.
You're right; I'm sorry to have spread disinformation!

Looks like Apple switched from Chiat/Day to BBDO in 1986. Around the same time Steve Hayden made the same move... and Steve Hayden didn't move to Ogilvy until 1994.
Materialize gives a vaguely PostgreSQLish user land on top of this idea. Obviously Postgres has LISTEN/NOTIFY which are fine for most places you need a queue and push updates but the key is incremental view updates so you get instant results on complex queries.
Could there be a happy ending here, where GitHub leverage their code trawling to help @docsparse find the original pirate who stole the cstranspose IP? It would be a bold business decision by GitHub mind you. Plagiarism police is a way more negative product angle than copilot’s current pitch.

I mean, if that's going to be your justification for learning C, then shouldn't you be learning how to create 16 bit adders from flip-flops, learning about the importance of mux and demux chips, and then building an ALU and FPU in verilog and testing them in a simulator?

I would argue that assembly language and hence C has been shaped that way it has because of the underlying structures of the processor and the way binary numbers are manipulated and stored. C and for that matter assembly, becomes quite trivial if you know enough to make your own simple CPU with decoder, instruction set, memory, ALU, FPU, etc.

That relies on the person the article is about being notable enough to have sources. You won't get sources (let alone reliable ones) for my neighbour Barry. So any article about Barry (or any non notable person) is going to be unsourced...

That's one of the issues with articles about non noteworthy people...
I'm undecided how I feel about this at the moment. I don't think we as a society are ready for this technology, certainly not from a copyright perspective.

It is absolutely 100% legal (and so it should be) for me to learn to paint by copying others' styles. In fact I'm fairly confident that the artists complaining here will have copied the styles of others in developing their own—perhaps even synthesising some of the ideas and blending them to create something distinctive.

But when you're able to do this at scale, and with no individual creative input (at least, beyond the prompt), it has the effect of devaluing the original art.

If I can type something like 'Dragon battle with a man at night in the style of Greg Rutkowski' and get the quality of output illustrated in the article, then how will Greg ever be able to sell his work? And if he can't sell it, why would he create it (or at least, why would he publish and market it) in the first place?

So unless we do something to protect these artists, then overall, creativity may decline, and we will end up looking at facsimiles of pictures created by artists a long time ago.

I'm not sure copyright is the answer, but I don't know what is.
Surely it can know that. Don’t ram chips identify with vendor / serial number etc?
He's quite full of himself (the show was called "Seinfeld" after all, before hardly anyone recognized that name), but I think that's part of the comedic persona, that's his routine, a snob successful man.

A thing I really find off-putting is the overt misogyny of the Seinfeld character in the series - he's a ladies man and has very little regard or respect for his romantic conquests, over 70 throughout the series, iirc. Jerry's love interests are a source of gags, but the fact that he's essentially a sexual addict if never addressed or mocked.

I realize the character is not the same as the comedian, but it's hard to disentangle the two, especially if he owns up to such a large influence on the final text. It's as if a woman was never involved in the writing so she could object to the disposable nature of Jerry's female companions. Is it a personal fantasy that's being projected, is it a comedic version of his real life? I don't know.
