> Copyright is not the primary motivator for either science or art

Having a way to own works is probably pretty important to either of those endeavors, right?
Think of it this way: Charging them money helps them too.

Imagine you buy a course for $200 vs $0.

If you pay $0 you may not finish it, or value it. You might resent the time going into it etc.

If you pay $200 you are motivated and will finish it and learn it.

If you do hours of work for $0, then you are too busy to engage further, they are now stuck having to pay someone else. And they hadn't budgeted for that.

If you charge, they already have a plan in mind, a budget they can switch to someone else later if needed - if you no longer want to work on it or need a break.
The BCC collection of BPF tools
BCC is a high level frontend for BPF programs, which exposes access to the full BPF feature set.

The BCC tools collection contains a huge library of example scripts which are useful Linux utilities. These tools can gather and present data about the system which were not available before the introduction of BPF.

For example, execsnoop.py can log all forks system-wide, catching processes that may have been created and exited within the minimum collection interval of a utility like top.

By using these tools you will learn things about your system that you have never known before.
I think that's exactly why AI training (allowed or not) should be added to licenses.
I think the last part is important though “large segment of the popular leads totally different lives”. That’s mainly why I said average, I’m more than happy to be proven wrong but if your statement is true, the statistics will show it. Like if the average is 5% outdoor +/- 2%, then it’s obvious that a large segments doesn’t necessarily have a different need.
The article says they apparently didn't do anything illegal. I'm surprised by that. I would guess this would be highly illegal in the US - I'm reminded of the guy who went to prison for giving a Bitcoin talk in North Korea.

Also agree. That's what I meant about the leaky abstraction. The fact that some chainable things are a one way street... e.g. need a specific order... yikes.

> In other words: A hypothetical fraudulent stable coin could "work" for a long time, until it suddenly doesn't work at all and the value plummets.

Sounds exactly like what happened to the dollar itself, which once upon a time used to be a "stablecoin" pegged to gold.

It was pegged soundly to $35 per ounce of gold for decades. It was even ok with the one time 'repegging' from $20 to $35 in 1932 to deal with the Great Depression. But then when we finally broke the gold peg in 1971 and then all the pent up cheating broke free and the price crashed to ~$160 per ounce in only 3 years, and then all the way to $630 after 10 years.

The physics just doesn’t work that way. Our sun produces about 11MW/m^2 (changes significantly due to atmospheric conditions) but there is no artificial lighting that will even be 0.0001% of those number.
>In an apples-to-apples comparison of women’s and men’s products with similar ingredients, however, we do not find evidence of a systematic price premium for women’s goods: price differences are small, and the women’s variant is less expensive in three out of five categories. Our findings are consistent with the ease of arbitrage in posted price markets where consumer packaged goods are sold. These results call into question the need for and efficacy of recently proposed and enacted pink tax legislation, which mandates price parity for substantially similar gendered products.

Later in the paper, they note that the 11% "pink tax" is actually primarily explained by differences in consumer preference. The supposedly really egregious one is razors, but women's razors aren't comparable products - they are significantly wider (which makes sense - we have more surface area to cover). This more or less matches with my life experience.

Not that women don't have gender specific consumer rights issues. But the real pink tax, I'd argue, is that tampons and pads are taxed as non-essential goods. That also has a much easier regulatory solution.
The government should almost never ban the publication of books, but any school library has finite space and must decide which books are most appropriate. Parents are still free to buy for their children the books "banned" by the school library.
So this doesn't negate the license. Microsoft cannot just roll the code into windows for example, closed source and proprietary. They have to abide by the license, regardless what their ToS says.

Here's a fun way to see it, suppose someone writes code licensed GPL. I take it, fork it, modify a line in it or not, and also license it GPL because I have to by law. I put it on my github account and what, I now just gave Microsoft rights to the code I don't even have? So by putting it on github I'm violating a license? It doesn't add up. The license to the code is the license to the code, no matter what site it's on and noatter what any ToS says. Otherwise what's to stop me from putting a ToS on my personal website partaining to your use of my eyeballs that says "if your creation becomes viewable by my eyeballs in any way I can use it however I want, publishing your work in such a way that it can be viewed by my eyeballs is consent to this ToS"?

Best practice is to listen to your lawyer. Lawyers try to reduce all risk. Low risk, low reward. High risk, high reward. It's all about risk tolerance and management.
If the script was using bash, a noticeable speedup when using dash instead is not surprising. Having used NetBSD's sh for many years as an interactive shell, I find bash on Linux is far too bloated and slow. I modified dash (a derivative of NetBSD sh) for use as an interactive shell as well as a non-interactive one by adding tabcompletion. I like to write quick scripts without having to include #!/bin/sh at the top. I get no benefit from having two shells: one interactive and the other non-interactive.
People get snippets from Stack Overflow all the time and usually there is no concern whether it is properly attributed or not.

I'd argue that people who open-source code expect other people to learn from it in a small way of snippets and that constitutes fair-use.
Even in an insane setup you generally don't want to search both at once. I find the pattern of first grepping non-ignored files and then cd-ing into my build directory or whatever and rerunning more helpful anyway.

No, you're not. The community reads and respects the attached licensing.
> While there may be some arguments against a cashless society from a privacy point of view, it's hard to argue with the convenience and cost savings that you get from going cashless.

I agree with your first sentence, but the summary doesn't necessarily follow.

The convenience and cost savings are not free. You are the product. Moving to a "modern society" doesn't need to involve enriching the marketing networks of the planet.
The removal of the license where the code was learned is the real tidbit that everyone needs to focus on. This is where the laundering comments come from.

The product would be useless if it prompted you with license approvals. They didn't care and removed them. They consciously decided to prioritize their paid-for product over the rights of their users. I'm amazed that MS's lawyers allowed it out the door. That's the even scarier part.
So there's no benefit to collaborating because of distances and time scales. A system of machines is plausible, so there's a non-zero risk of encountering something like that. Civilizations decide to hide because only bad things could happen if they don't. And now you have a dark forest. The hunter doesn't have to exist. The prey just has to be fearful.

You're thinking of brute force attempts over the network which are very slow and as you mention should be subject to tarpits and lockouts. This is if you can get your hands on the hashed passwords; I would think a GPU cluster can do something from millions to trillions of attempts per second depending on the algorithm.
> And sure, stackoverflow copying is a thing, but they clearly tell you the license by which you can use said code: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/

There are posts under an earlier license which was CC BY-SA 3.0.

There are people who don't have accounts anymore or haven't logged in to accept an updated license.

Only the changes to the post after the 3.0 to 4.0 in the above case are technically licensed under 4.0 (the original post is still under 3.0).

Furthermore, Stack Overflow didn't follow the proper process for updating the license.

Look at the license and the Aug 22 change and consider if that removing "Hope that helps" was a sufficient change to relicense it.

re concurrent writes: The issue we ran into was deadlocks when we upserted batches of records within a transaction. E.g. transaction A updates row 1 then row 2 and transaction B updates row 2 then row 1. If you sort so that you update rows in the same order across all transactions, then it won't deadlock. E.g. sort records by primary key and then upsert. If you can't do that, then advisory locks seems like a good idea.
It depends on your threat actors. If you’re trying to make sure dang can’t find where you’re posting from, a VPN is probably good enough - especially if you go through one outside the country.

If you’re worried about committing crimes than a VPN is relatively pointless - it slows down the law a bit and some may be difficult to penetrate but if you keep using it they can be.

And if you have a nation state you will want to layer things and almost certainly use tor.
So you've got nothing? Because I'm seriously asking that.

Well, especially since when you look at the way money is held across different social classes, it tends to form a much larger percentage of total wealth at the lower classes than at higher classes, who hold their wealth in other assets because they can afford to, while the lower classes, needing the majority of their wealth in liquid form for routine expenses, cannot, and so have more exposure to inflation in the first place.

There's not much way around this as long as you're dealing with a currency that can be expanded by credit, because with or without a central bank, fractional reserve banking increases the money supply -- if anything, a central bank allows you to TRY to bring some order to that process.

But yes, the difference is that direct taxation would be paid by the higher classes, while inflation is shouldered predominantly by the lower, and both have a way at eating into economic output in real terms.
Yes, this would be a good example of genuine copyright infringement that shouldn't be tolerated.

Of course, it doesn't mean that all or even most DALL-E output infringes on someone's copyright. The same is true for Copilot. I think both have many legitimate uses if and when the "copyright laundering" issue is solved.

> how deep learning works well enough to control it.

I don't think you can control it. Machine Learning models do not create anything, they make a prediction of the expected outcome based on the training/validation data. Similar to how human beings are an outcome of their experiences, so are ML models. Ofc human beings are much more complex than a ML model.
Anyone can start their own GitHub competitor and do whatever they want with the source code that ends up on it. GitHub pays the bills and lets us freely upload whatever we want to their service, so it seems a bit entitled to complain about what features or data they provide or don't provide.
Github likely does have what would be considered a monopoly marketshare, and strong network effects now keep the other competitors from breaking out.

Yes, let's gatekeep what can or cannot be classified as "creative".
All this discussion of legality is interesting to me, because I'm pretty sure that if Github ran a search in the background, found the corresponding license for the code snippet, then showed it to the user in some cookie-banner like annoyance, it would be completely legal. This is what Github already does on their website with a search bar.

Yet somehow I think most people upset about Copilot would not like that outcome.

> The hemisphere is sometimes called the "dark side of the Moon", where "dark" means "unknown" instead of "lacking sunlight"

Tbqh I think "dark side of the moon" is more often a genuine misconception than a poetic way of saying unknown. Fundamental misconceptions of the Moon abound, such as the mistaken belief that the Moon is opposite of the sun and rises when the Sun sets. You'd think that people would notice the Moon in the sky during the day for much of the month, but some people just don't pay attention to the sky, don't think about it much, and pick up the meme of the antisolar synchronous moon from cartoons, video games and grandfather clocks.

And sometimes people simply mispeak, perhaps due to Pink Floyd.
Do you place your published code in public domain or use something like CC0? Or do you use a license with some strings (e.g. attribution) attached?
Yes. But the people who agree to let GitHub host their code are doing so with the expectation that it's "open source", i.e. freely accessible.

If we define "open source" as "you can't necessarily use this to train an AI", then Copilot itself is illegal because it's using code without permission.

If we define "open source" as "you can use this to train an AI", then Copilot it legal, but GitHub may be illegally misrepresenting itself as a host for "open source", as the policy it hosts code under isn't truly open-source.

If we define "open source" as "you can't necessarily use this to train an AI" but then GitHub's policy explicitly states "by using us as a hosting provider, you give us permission to use your code to train AI" then they are in the clear. But I doubt they have that clause or at least had it when Copilot was first revealed.

From the linked terms of service:

Actually they don’t. I’ve cloned thousands of repos before (tried to archive conda-forge org for a project).

Since there's no way to know how code generated by Copilot might be licensed without expensive code-scanning tools, I don't think OSS can safely derive any substantial improvements from it.
I think the parent comment is referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tying_(commerce).

TLDR: If you have a monopoly in a market, you can't use your position to get a heads up in another distinct market by bundling products together. Ex: Microsoft can't use their monopoly position in the OS market to get an advantage in browsers by bundling IE with Windows.

It's my understanding that this doesn't apply if you don't have a monopoly, and it also doesn't apply unless you're actually bundling the sale of multiple things together.

Doesn't seem to be relevant here IMO.
