Obligatory xkcd reference to "UI Change": https://xkcd.com/1770/

JetBrains is obviously becoming more like VS Code here so that they aren't edged out of the market. "Copy your competitors". Complaining as if we are paying customers is understandable because UI changes are annoying. However we have to see things from JetBrain's perspective. They're trying to stay alive in a market where their market share is rapidly decreasing being taken by VS Code.

Well I think both of you will need to swap “Bitcoin advocates” and “crypto pumpers” so you can communicate
Yes, a vpn is clandestine. However, it isn't correct to say that Tor's traffic is clandestine (which it is), but using it isn't clandestine. Hiding your traffic's contents is the same as hiding your traffic's contents.
IANAL, but it's pretty clear that GH explicitly says they will NOT distribute the code. I'm not sure what else you'd call offering to copy a section of code.

"It also does not grant GitHub the right to otherwise distribute or use Your Content outside of our provision of the Service."

Throughout the license, the Content is treated as an indivisible unit, and it specifically refers to the forking functionality. Notice that forking...forks an entire repository, licenses included, etc. You can't fork a single file, and you can't fork a region of a file. GH provides that kind of forking.

Copilot is fine-grained forking.

No significant software company is going to permit copilot to be used and potentially poison their code base in unknown ways, now that this kind of copying is in the open and is clearly a significant danger.

Somebody like Black Duck is going to make a lot of money for trial attorneys by tracing how code was created and finding the "hits". That will be joined with log data indicating who used copilot, when they used it, and exactly what copilot presented as the "hit". This entire process will be performed recursively on the "hit", together with classic source analysis, to find out where something is really from.

The bigger companies are really, really serious about not copying outside code except under really strict conditions -- these conditions mostly look like "no you may not, unless you have one of these specific situations". It's no-by-default, even when it looks like it could be a yes.
How do you figure? RF (nor light) transmit effectively under water.

How would it be useful to them at that distance?
I’m sure I’ve done more to OSS than 95% of commenters here. I publish my code under MIT when possible (and WTFPL for smaller projects), and yes, please train on my work or split out my functions verbatim, they are far less valuable than some people seem to believe. I don’t even care about the attribution part of MIT, it’s simply a nice to have when decent people use my code.
Hi Eric, thanks for this brilliant write-up.

I see you touched on Private Relay and QUIC but chose to not discuss IETF MASQUE working group standardization of it. In general, as oblivious HTTP, IP over QUIC, Private Proxies over QUIC etc continues to gather pace (surprisingly, it is Google alongside Cloudflare and Apple leading the charge), do you think browsers bundling in tech (relays, proxies based on blind tokens etc) to mask IPs would be the default and free going forward? How do you see trackers adopt to this new reality, in that case?

Thanks.
WhatsApp depends on iOS, to me that's Facebook throwing a stone at Apples house without leaving their own.
It should be noted that some juristictions are starting to restrict this (e.g. Australia). Also I would argue if Google would randomly display content of full websites and never post links to the original content it would be in a lot more legal trouble.
As is Eminem.
Perl gets trashed a lot for how unreadable it is, but examples that aren't intentionally written to be as obfuscated as possible are often just examples of how ugly regular expressions are. For people who understand regular expressions and understand how they are used in perl it's not as hard to read/follow as it looks. Perl certainly has a few features that don't help its reputation (like the extremely useful '$_') but it gets more hate than it deserves. It's still my language of choice when it comes to regex heavy projects.

That said, if your goal was to write obfuscated code, perl wouldn't be a bad choice!
Microsoft just announced layoffs across multiple divisions
That sort of makes sense. Not only are we naturally positioned above the moon, looking down on it, but it’s also not covered in a 5000m thick layer of dilute whale effluent.
Totally anecdotal, but I have found ripgrep orders of magnitude faster than grep when searching a large corpus of data (in my case, many multi-hundred megabyte to gigabyte XML files). As in, ripgrep completed the search in seconds, grep took multiple minutes. I'm sure I could have done some research to optimise/parallelise grep, but ripgrep worked doing the "dumb" search.
I wonder if regular resistance training would've avoided the muscle loss.
Yes. Tracking data has value so you are the product to the company providing the hosting.

Yes. The code you're downloading is free. Just like the words of Shakespeare are now free. But you need to read those words off of something. That "something" sometimes includes tracking. Why would a commercial company offer this for free?

Sometimes it's indeed charity. But we have no way of knowing it. Sometimes the value is analytics which they can use to fingerprint and follow you across other properties they have.
>In addition it discriminates against anyone who finds themselves even temporarily without power

They can scan your card with a thing that doesn't use power, but most places I saw that were at places like gun shows where they shouldn't have had an issue taking a check either, since either way there was gonna be some kind of background check.

For context, I sold stock out of my IRA a third(ish) time recently, because I had so many issues stemming from a set of phone scammers who hijacked calls at the carrier level in 412 around the time I got laid off from my last full time role.

I hope that the same folks doing that didn't also impersonate the IRS when I tried to call the last time -- I'd been told over and over if you have questions, call about how to declare income, and the person I got was super rude, even threatening. Made some smart ass comment about whether I was taking notes "my senator" in a sarcastic tone of voice when I tried to ask how to declare what little income I had.

Anyways TL;DR: lots of places don't handle loss of power well, or even just reverting to 90s era social Norms in an emergency ;-)
The definition of "open-source" will be given by the license included with the software (or lack thereof). It could mean that we adhere to the Open Source Initiative, or it could mean that the source code is freely available even though its use is not permissive. The license will tell, not your pre-defined conception of "open-source".

It seems pretty clear to me, training an AI on copyrighted materials is not fair use.
I'm not sure why you seem to think it is fair use
Your own link says that nearly half of all Americans and 70% of Republicans think fact-checking is biased. That's the attitude I was referencing when I said that fact-checking is "widely heckled". If half of an audience boos you, that's a lot of booing.

I have no idea what you're arguing. Your own link says what I said.

I'm not saying anything about the fact-checking itself. I'm not on Twitter or Facebook. I haven't seen any fact-check posts. I'm sure they try their best to be accurate. I prefer to get my information about the most hoax-prone topics from authoritative sources - primary sources, news agencies, newspapers of record - the more boring, the better.
> Amazing in a bad way...

The word you folks are looking for is “appalling”.
I found the online checker result surprising and figured I should call to get more information. On the phone I was told that all of Summit Wood Road was able to get service, including my future address. That particular home had just never actually signed up at any point since the neighborhood was wired. No problem, a tech can get it online in a jiffy.

You'll note I didn't go after Comcast in any way after that. But I didn't pay them the huge sum they belatedly demanded either. Paying 6x the going rate for 5x more linear distance of trenching than I needed was not enticing. Also their oversubscription ratio in my neighborhood turned out to be excessive and they got crushed by network throughput demand starting during the lockdowns and continuing with prolonged WFH.

Comcast served me perfectly well at my previous address in Sunnyvale.
Perhaps the tax can also scale logarithmically.
Terrible start with that first sentence "Canonically a stablecoin is only issued in return for fiat currency."

What about DAI that is backed by ETH and other volatile assets? What about OUSD, which is a yield-bearing stablecoin that is backed by other stablecoins?

If they were borrowing stables against their BTC, they could deploy those into Anchor for 20% APY which was far higher than they could have gotten lending out BTC directly. It was still a terrible idea, but it's not accurate to say the collateral was not being used productively to generate yield.
It was considered a big breakthrough to predict the structure of a single protein.

The human body is more complex. Depending on the cell, there are 10's of millions of proteins in a cell, along with other stuff. There are 10's of trillions of cells in the body. If you consider how difficult it would be to accurately simulate that, you start to grasp the problem. Now we might be able to come up with a fairly accurate model which is orders of magnitude smaller, but how you train that model and how small it could be... it seems practically impossible to come up withs something useful.

Like, colonizing the sun impossible. This article is quite hand wavy.
Did you do resistance training on a regular basis while on keto?
When at a deficit, your body gets rid of what it doesn't need.
The goal is to tell your body it needs the muscle (and doesn't need the fat).

That's why you lost muscle.
Hello It's Marco one of the developers. You're right, web workers absolutely have a spot in apps. That's actually why I thought to use them in the first place! In this case it turns out it wasn't necessary though. Sorry for the click bait title but I hope you could at least enjoy the article.

Why not make the a ology the other way. If I put massive amounts of code into a database and develop some sort of query language that spits out various parts of the contents of the database based on the query am I covered by fair use?
AI copyright drama is my favorite gossip these days because it can’t be reconciled until we accept that intelligence is created and held by societies, not individuals. Recent AI is a new way to exercise that intelligence, but it presents a major conflict with capitalism.
> I'm not sure why you seem to think it is fair use

I think OP explains clearly, in many paragraphs, why it's fair use. That's literally what their whole post is about.
I knew two people who quit after two weeks. One after being called to find out why he wasn’t at work. On a Sunday.

I ended up on a short contract and think I understand why. I also understand why Amazon employees are notorious for taking up the entire sidewalk like nobody else is there. Trauma.
> So you were probably illegally accessing another person or companies systems.

Illegal would imply some kind of intent or malice. I was legitimately trying to access the executed result, which I would have been authorized to do if the service was operating normally.

> What you should've done was notify the owners of the incorrectly configured system and left it at that.

Seems unrealistic to "leave it at that". I had to read the output to understand it wasn't what I expected, and once I read it I knew how to code, at least to a cursory degree. The code was simple and it was a service I used frequently, so it was immediately clear how the code translated to the results I was accustomed to. Maybe that would be harder to do that now in my old age, but I was just a kid so I had neural plasticity on my side.

> I use Github like a bank, not a public library (unless I'm working on open source). I never would've allowed them to read through all my code and use it for profits without at least asking.

I don't know what kind of banks you deal with, but banks normally do read through your banking records and use that information to sell services to their clients – notably loans, which require knowledge of your deposits to offer.
This is deep infosec. Instead of security through obscurity, it's security through ubiquity.
Yes, you definitely can become a self-taught programmer. There's plenty of free educational resources to learn anything you want.

To become good enough to get a job, that will take time, and lots of practice. Web development has a low barrier to entry (it's easy to get started), and is a big field with many different kinds of jobs, so I would keep your options open. You may find specific parts of it interesting, like doing things on the server side.

To become a programmer, you have to read and write lots of programs. The best way to keep motivated for long-term learning is to find projects you enjoy.

For example, you may like building and programming electronics.

https://hackaday.com/

Another angle: you could explore GitHub for projects that you find interesting, then learn what languages are useful for that purpose.

https://github.com/topics

Or: explore job listings, find jobs that sound interesting, then learn what knowledge they require to get hired.
That the waste was not handled correctly is exactly the issue. I agree: Nuclear energy is harmless as long as no accident happens, everything is handled properly and every possibility is taken care of. The problem is only that this is not the case.
just saw this. thank you. that means a lot.
The time to start building tons of new nuclear plants was 20 years ago.

Given how little time we have to react, and how long it takes to build a nuclear plant (and how expensive they are), putting our hopes on nuclear this late in the game is foolhardy and will never save us.

We have no choice but to go with what will have a meaningful impact in the immediate future (5 year horizon) - wind, solar, hydro. Many countries are already past 50% renewable, and many are climbing towards 100%.
There's been a lot of discussion around licenses but I'm not even sure if they matter for Copilot. I was reading their terms and conditions and there's a paragraph that basically says they have the right to display and share your code with other users. So even in the case where people are directly prompting Copilot with specific function names, I think the terms and conditions still cover them.

> We need the legal right to do things like host Your Content, publish it, and share it. You grant us and our legal successors the right to store, archive, parse, and display Your Content, and make incidental copies, as necessary to provide the Service, including improving the Service over time.

Anyway, if you don't know SQL, you are kinda out of luck and stuck with Excel.
I recently looked at Nomad, but ironically for a "less complex" piece of software, I couldn't be sure it would scale down to my use case, I ended up with K3S as it would run on the small hardware nodes i needed it to run on.

I would have preferred Nomad but the resource requirements are pretty high for the "control server" component. https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/install/production/requirem...

Nomad servers may need to be run on large machine instances.
We suggest having between 4-8+ cores, 16-32 GB+ of memory,
40-80 GB+ of fast disk and significant network bandwidth.
The core count and network recommendations are to ensure
high throughput as Nomad heavily relies on network communication
and as the Servers are managing all the nodes in the region and
performing scheduling. The memory and disk requirements are due to
the fact that Nomad stores all state in memory and will store two
snapshots of this data onto disk, which causes high IO in busy
clusters with lots of writes.

Obviously This is not going to fit on a group of Raspberry Pi's or other SBC computer nodes you can solar power out in a field.
>to not teach a language, but how to transform your thoughts to something that the computer can accept.

Exactly! Programming is nothing more than a precise codification of one's thoughts on how to tell a Computer to do something. I believe it should be taught with a mixture of Structured English, Mathematics (Basic Set Theory/Logic/Predicate Calculus) and Graphical Visualization. The student should be helped to make up his own pseudo-code and diagrams to express his thoughts in a manner most natural/appealing to him/her. This is what is known as problem-solving.

Once the above has been grasped, using a specific programming language then becomes a simple act of becoming familiar with the artifacts of the language. The Concepts/Idea generation phase have been nicely demarcated and mastered from the Constraints of Actual Mechanisms used to express them. Going the other way (i.e. from specific language to general abstracted pseudo-code and thence to another language expression) is much more difficult since we get mentally set in a specific way of solving the problem.
courts in the US have repeatedly ruled that humans and machines aren't the same in the eyes of copyright. for example under current case law, nothing created exclusively by a machine is copyrightable.
The levels don't seem huge, and you need to be a fairly committed consumer of wild mushrooms to see a effect comparable to regular flying.

But it is interesting to note that the relevant consumer laws prevent the sale of eg. derived wild boar products from affected animals with similar contamination, which must be doing wonders for the French wild boar meat trade.
"Apparently"? Why not do the work to confirm or refute the claim?
Public Transit isn't the (only) alternative to cars.

> You can't [...] you're getting peanuts [...] you can't vote

It kinda feels like you're trying to shame Puerto Ricans for being the USA's bitches or something but I don't think that's reasonable. Puerto Ricans are US citizens and can move anywhere in the USA which is not only valuable and lets them send money home but shows that they're respected as just other Americans.

> By becoming an independent country you could get major powers to compete to do business with you - I'm pretty sure China would invest billions into your infrastructure, you could literally become America's Taiwan.

Leave the one country that helps you, though maybe not enough, to be the puppet of their enemy. Like that's not going to end in pain, but that's not your concern as an outsider trying to accelerate chaos.
That's a great point about what we naturally do.

> In the case where an AI is coming up with the work, perhaps the mistake is in relying on humans to try and apply their own trained judgement to figuring out if the result is unoriginal. We need an AI that scores work for how likely it is to be infringing on a prior copyright.

Isn't that latter AI going to be more likely to need to contain verbatim copies of original works? Or maybe not?

This in turn (and the SFC's and the law firm's concern about the GPL) makes me think that there are several different things that people may be concerned about machine learning systems doing:

* they could allow you to access verbatim copies for "consumptive" use (like if you asked an AI a question about what the text of a chapter of a Harry Potter novel was, and it answered you correctly)

* they could facilitate intentional or unintentional plagiarism, and, in the case of publicly-available works that are published under a license, intentional or unintentional reproduction or creation of derivative works contrary to that license

* they could contain something like a verbatim representation and allow you to use that in various ways that themselves are not extracting or literally copying that representation, but where the original copyright holder might complain that the existence of an unlicensed copy inside the model is already objectionable

* they could contain representations of uncopyrightable subject matter which was learned through training on copyrighted works, which can then be used to compete with the original creators for jobs, prestige, or attention, or can be used to produce works that the original creators would have found offensive or objectionable (this case isn't supposed to be restricted by copyright at all, but that doesn't necessarily stop people from caring!)

Not only will the same measures not prevent or avoid these cases, but if you wanted to prevent the first and second situations, one of the easiest ways to do it might be to literally include verbatim copies of lots of works inside a machine learning model! (along with software specifically trained or programmed to warn you against unintentionally making uses the user or copyright holder finds objectionable ... to facilitate the exercise of "essentially, their ethical judgement", as you put it)

Laws can be changed. And laws should reflect the realities of society, not the other way round.
They're very power-efficient too, which is great for a laptop if you hate fans like me.

I got a 5700U, and I still haven't heard the fan spin up on it, except for a 1s burst when you first turn it on.
Yeah, since you're already listening to something using a powered device it'd certainly be far better for the environment to not add another toxic battery in your headphones and just plug them into whatever your listening to.

I actually use fly.io for the rare time I want to run something in the cloud, for exactly the reason that they allow you to pre-pay a fixed amount, and once that runs out, your instance gets shut down.

This means that I can't misconfigure my way to a three-figure-plus bill, which is hard to find in cloud providers.

There's plenty of unethical, but perfectly legal stuff. The finance industry, gambling, addictive games with microtransactions, political and defense contracts. Or you can take something fine and push it past ethical boundaries, e.g. media, food.
Derivative work requires a major part of the original, before it’s considered by copyright.

A 3 line boilerplate is neither novel nor a major part of the original.
