De Niro is too humble. I think he should have financed $100M for his own for-profit library/theater/acting school in Greenwich Village.
Agreed. Something else apparent from the comments is that people seem to think that some things are copyrighted, and some aren't, and that copilot would be better if it could avoid copyrighted code. Actually, essentially ALL code is copyrighted, and was so the moment it was written, and someone owns that copyright [1]. People only start noticing copyright when the terms of how that copyrighted content is licensed affects them. I think people resent reciprocal licenses like LGPL/GPL because the principle of "share and share alike" that they implement comes with real responsibilities and consequences for the user of the code, while they believe that non-reciprocal licenses (BSD) can be ignored with less serious consequences.

But the show-stopping problem is that copilot is sometimes producing code that is more than fair use of other code that, and is unable to attribute the code or identify how that code is licensed. It is copilot's (Microsoft's) fault that it auto-generates legal minefields, not the person who made an informed decision about licensing their own code.

In spite of the likely downvoting, I'll say that people should be grateful for reciprocal licenses not just because they were and are the foundation of free software (as you point out), but because they shine a light on what it means to license code, and how we are forced to revisit the difference between copyright and licensing when a reciprocal license is violated.

I still want to know where the USS Jimmy Carter was right before this happened. Undersea espionage and sabotage is one of the specified missions for that boat.
Yeah it is much more mature now. Basically the CDK will generate YAML cloudformation templates at compile time so any errors are generally caught then. If you utilize typescript it is even safer since you know there are no missing parameters or anything like that.

I have not used terraform that much, but they did launch a CDK for terraform that does a similar thing https://www.terraform.io/cdktf. Basically you write in code and at compile time it converts it to the terraform templates.
Technology that lets us “speak” to our dead relatives has arrived. Are we ready?
The thing that differentiates science from religion is repeatability. With religion everyone has their own opinion, people out of contact with each other come up with radically different religious beliefs and there is no way to bridge between those beliefs. If we forgot everything we know about religion, in a thousand years we might rediscover religion again but they'd be entirely different religions from what we have now.

With science it doesn't matter who does a given experiment, anyone else doing the same experiment will get the same results. There's no scope for disagreement about verifiable scientific facts. Just do the experiment and find out. If we forgot everything we know about science, in a thousand years if we rediscovered science, very quickly we'd rediscover all the exact same facts about the world again.
Worth looking into any COSS (commercial open source) companies that you find interesting.
That’s where you write the code that then others glue together - plus you can inspect the codebase beforehand!

Well how can you say much about a place without visiting? These descriptions can be used for so called “civilized” places. Especially Western countries not even standing by these “civilized” values shows a lot where their hearts are. They’d rather kill millions, exploit economic conditions, and pontificate about ideals they don’t even act in accordance with.

It’s propaganda you’ve been fed to assume the rhetoric of civilized vs uncivilized. Really every place has barbarism, some hidden behind arrogance, it seems.

For me it's the games that involve your whole body. Dancing games, rhythm games, FPSs. Those are the ones that actually give me that holodeck feeling where you forget it's not real. Racing and flying are rather meh for me since it feels like I'm just sitting in front of a large screen and using a game controller, I can have more fun with that by just sitting in front of my PC.

I think it's just different for everyone, just like with regular games everyone has their preferred genres.
Exactly. People seem to be forgetting this most of all in this thread.

Though I can’t recall any specific times where the US blocked the acquisition/merger between two European countries.
Communication is a 2-way street. From experience, this approach doesn't work if your manager is dogmatic/egotistical and unwilling to hear you.
I also take issue with the author's assumptions. Consider the case of AIs trained to identify new variables in a system of pendulums:

Different truths that describe the same system.
We would need to define the terms in order to have proper debate on this. Are we talking number of projects, lines of code, install base, user base, profit generated, or some combination of all of it? My argument is largely based upon loc in installed base.
Does that sound like a $1 billion business to you? Even at 6 figure profit per model, they are going to need to build up a huge sales arm to do enough business for that valuation.

I think they are expecting to become some sort of artist's tool, but since the model is open source and artist's tend to have good GPUs, Adobe can crush them by putting their own model (or a similar proprietary model from Adobe) into photoshop.
On what? Virus research?
37-year-old Amiga platform gets updates to Linux kernel, AmigaOS SDK
I find this very frustrating. If COVID-19 was a lab leak - wether it had involved gain of function related or just unwisely moving viruses from the animal kingdom into human spaces - what good did any of it do?

Apparently our ability to create vaccines doesn't hinge on messing around with the viruses before they infect humans. COVID-19 vaccine was created after the fact, and it hardly prevented a major global catastrophe.

I just don't see the argument. It sounds like pure imagination - by making viruses more dangerous or increasing the odds we'll expose ourselves to novel ones, someday we'll have the technology to prevent any pandemic. How many millions of lives lost and trillions of dollars wasted before that happens? When is it just not worth it? It seems not worth it to me now.

If it's a bioweapons program, I don't see why we need to be playing along. It's not like nuclear deterrence - someone releases a weaponized virus, the whole world gets infected. It's like a nuke that blows up the entire world.
My experience is that shipping is boring.

If I want to ship my software, as opposed to just write it, I need to use tech that's a couple of clicks back from "bleeding edge," and spend a lot of time, "polishing the fenders."

B O R I N G

But I get a kick out of seeing my software out there, ready to be integrated into other people's software (90% of the time, I'm my own best customer, but I write all of my software as if it were being adopted by a Fortune 50 company).
Is it though? Company events and fairs are typically in Spring and Fall, when people are back from vacation.

Early employee at a startup?
It depends on the company's product. At a very large company you might find the odd team that's building some interesting new, internal framework or infrastructure. If you want to stay away from CRUD your best bet though might be a company where the CRUD isn't the core of what provides user value. Examples that come to mind immediately (since that's where I work right now) are data offerings. Lots of interesting new and existing data stores these days and unless you end up on the, likely very small GUI team, it's all hardcore coding. I would expect similar from some ML products.
While maybe my view is a bit myopic here, I think the harsh reality of the world is that it's very difficult to find an opportunity where all you do is write brand new code outside of a small/early stage startup. The numbers just don't make sense to constantly reinvent the wheel, even though many developers love and prefer that. In truth the best developers I've ever worked with and managed have a good intuition about when the re-use vs re-build and I support them in that. Developers who try to push too hard one way or the other often end up taking way longer than they should have to get a task done. As with darn near everything else in life - it's all about balance. That's my 2 cents anyways.
Consolidating power isn’t inherently against the interests of China. And as poster above explained, Putin is acting rationally. In fact, war is probably one of the most rational and pervasive actions throughout history. Probably every country has gone to war and it’s not always because some madman went berserk.

It’s always in our interest to simply reduce our enemy to madmen or nazis, as it justifies our own counter aggression.
hehe.. I was thinking the same.

Hope you are doing well.

Epic timeline in Scandinavia

2013 - Sundhedsplatform in Denmark chooses to go with Epic system. Go-live was a huge mess is 2016 and the system still doesn't work properly

2016 - Apotti platform in Finland chooses to go with Epic. In 2022 600 over doctors signed an petition to get rid of epic.

2020 - Helseplatform in Norway chooses Epic. And well, how is it going.
No, Giphy, GifyCat, Tenor and pretty much every other gif distribution service has already done something like this from the get go. The GIF is just not well suited for large scale distribution when html supports <video> elements that support non-garbage file formats. I would assume the current ruling is meant to cover 'gifs' as a broad term for looping short form video.
For someone like me that's an experienced programmer but relatively new to Rust, what are some open source Rust projects that could benefit from some help?
It is a good take but it doesn't apply to random L1 currencies. It applies to L2 scaling layers with poor interoperability. Bridges create a wrapper of the bridged token. Once you have multiple bridges the ecosystem is fragmented. This means bridges and L2 scaling are a dead end.
I think you should re-read the complaints with slightly more empathy for both sides. I love my purple Firefox (apparently via Colorways). Meanwhile, the "Colorways" feature UX and messaging is stupid and confusing. I'm not exaggerating, me and others are quite confused about what it is/isn't and if it's going away. All for freaking what?

My mom sees that shit? She's gonna go "uh I don't know what Colorways is, why's it gonna go away, I'll just stick with Edge where it showed me 12 colored icons under the Theme heading and I just clicked one." Because that's exactly what I did until the slight annoyed-curiosity-purple-enthusiast got the better of me.

I feel like the scene in Zoolander when the character is befuddled and exasperatedly asks "am I taking crazy pills".
We'll get a lot of tin foil speculation here, mine is it was retaliation for the Freeport LNG explosion.
I'd imagine it'd work similarly to Japan, which also requires a spyware app with wide-reaching permissions during your initial days in the country: you always have the option of picking up a rental phone (at your own cost) on arrival which you carry with you at all times during the mandated period.

I think your skepticism here is good and smart. I had the same. Anyone who relies only on self-reported issues has the ability to have general axienty increases cause 'covid associated' behaviors.

That said, neurological covers more than just self-reported concerns like this. Take a look at this paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-02001-z

You can ignore a lot of these (and I do) as they are self reported, but some are not. Consider Cerebrovascular disorders or some of the others.

There appears to be an association that is non-subjected non-self-reported between people who got covid and people who did not. The study makes NO statement that can be attributed to people who got covid with/without the vax because the study was started/concluded prior to the vax being in general circulation amongst a high number of the population.

So yes, I think "long covid" has a large amount of general anxiety - but not this much. I think its likely we will find this is 1/2 our brains just making up symptoms and 1/2 actual legit f'ing scary problems. I hope I'm wrong. This study implies I'm not.

Cheers.
I disagree. As long as I have a personal concept of 'good' and 'bad', and prefer it when 'good' things to happen to 'good' people (and vice versa) then I have a concept of justice.
Thank you for listening! Good catch on the mix, I also noticed it after it was too late :)
Most real problems don't need interesting code.

You get paid to write glue and CRUD apps because that's what actually solves the problems most people and businesses have.
I personally believe this was a state actor who did it. If it was a SCADA system attack to overpressure the pipe, a state actor is the most likely culprit as SCADA knowledge isn't that common among laypeople. Personally, I think powerful explosives were used, at which point it'd definitely be a state actor because who else would have access to high power explosives, and then place them hundreds of feet below sea level next to a pipeline?
But they only hire the best!
Every team wants to pick their people. They might have some ability to apply for other roles in the company but if hiring is slowed already there might not be a lot of other places to go. They definitely aren't going to randomly assign employees to different departments.
It’s less that Europe is using more Russian gas than they had insufficient infrastructure to get alternatives to Russian natural gas.

Ukraine was invaded because they have a great deal of oil and natural gas and could therefore significantly impact the Russian economy especially if the world starts to reduce Fossil fuel use.
Sweet maybe after this we can go ahead and extract DNA from a mosquito in amber and use that to make dinosaurs and open a theme park with them. Sounds like that is the next Chriton movie on the list now that we are checking of "The Andromeda Strain".

Amazon is middle of the pack for big tech in total compensation. We don't need to speculate or speak in hyperbole. They certainly are not a "low-paying" job. The OP didn't stay in a low-paying job for 10 years and certainly didn't gain financial independence selling their Amazon stock because it was a low-paying job.
Ask HN: Parquet Outside Spark?
The Parquet file format (which is used by Spark and Hadoop) has column storage, stored complex nested data etc. I find a need to read these, and was surprised to find a lack of support in terms of libraries (in Debian for example). Is this format just not used much outside Spark & friends, so not much demand? Or some dark reason that the common Linux distros don't want to include it?
Ask HN: What startups do you properly love and are rooting for?
I haven’t felt a strong connection to a particular startup since 2012, at least one that I was excited about and anticipating their releases.

Firefox used to be so extensible that what is developer tools in every browser today started in Firefox as an extension, Firebug (yes, I am aware it is slightly more nuanced, but it is close enough for this argument.)

Also for a long while one of my preferred FTP programs was just a Firefox extension.

Yes, I think Google must be punished harsher for Chrome than Microsoft was for IE, but Mozilla couldn't have done much more to eradicate their market share without losing plausible deniability ;-)

Interesting that the pipeline in the middle of Ukraine, right in the hotspots of a war - remains intact and well, but this one, at the bottom of the sea - is blown away.

Now looking at Turk Stream
Well that is a problem with all stats reporting. Infant Mortality is another one "journalists" love to beat the US health system over, never highlighting how the different stats are reported by different nations, or other factors that make the US infant Mortality rate naturally higher due to our reporting standards, and standard procedures.

Life Expectancy is not really a good guide for anything, it is just a number various political groups can use to influence public policy to their agenda
Remembering Enterprise: The Test Shuttle That Never Flew to Space
I personally don’t see the average as useful anyway. It’s a stat meant for headlines and a surface level benchmark as it’s easy to consume. More interesting would be to see the mix perhaps by decade of age at death. It also needs to normalize for number of people alive in each cohort.
Are you propagating errors with the question marks here?
Looks great. I especially liked that you are presenting it as a book with categories and descriptions for each project.

I've seen these resource lists recommended often:

* Project Based Learning https://github.com/practical-tutorials/project-based-learnin...

* Build your own X https://github.com/codecrafters-io/build-your-own-x)
No, as in those that were going to die in the future, will no longer die in the future. Returning to the average doesn't make sense. There's a fixed amount of deaths that have to be spread across the timeline somehow and logic would tell us that lots of early deaths (concentrated very heavily in the elderly range of the age distribution) will necessarily subtract from the future. Of course there's a ton of other variables at play that could hide this reality.
Don't forget Java :)

That is the same in my state of Wyoming. The assessors visit my property every year and ask what improvements I've made. Two weeks after I bought the property they showed up and went through a checklist with me that detailed everything they knew about the house. I did something taboo and brought them into the house because they listed something as "fair" that was "bad".

It's funny though, all of this is just for tax revenue. They don't care about electrical wiring, plumbing, etc... I am told that when a house is first built they will inspect the electrical but I do not believe them. I've had to fix dozens of incorrectly wired sockets and really janky wiring in the circuit breaker panel and missing grounding connections.
Absolutely agree, I love KVR. Hopefully after my current job calms down a bit I can get back to making more music! It's been at least a year:(.

Might not be ideal, but going to a company that hasn't done a layoff yet is likely to be even worse. If business stability is a concern (and sometimes it legitimately isn't) then evaluating the odds going forward should be the main focus.

Amazon almost certainly isn't targeting the 99th percentile in their recruiting. The bulk of their software positions are interchangeable, likely by design.

They still offer pretty much the highest total comp and the best job prospects for 80th to 90th percentile graduates out of anywhere that I know of.

I had friends in Taiwan construction industry. They said TSMC will pay them extra just to make the construction time shorter, even 2x the cost. So you see firms love working with TSMC since they can get higher margin than typical factory construction.
