there would of course be unintended consequences. you would probably be making advertising “cool”, which would probably make the adverts that do succeed in filtering through all the more successful. you can imagine it being a treat for people to go to a country that still has advertising. a bit like visiting the US from Europe is now

and if you don’t ensure robust public funding for journalism and the arts while doing it, you’d be locking away certain forms of content from poorer people. the BBC shows that it can be done and done well, it would just have to be secured in a way that takes it out of the political arena, as you can be damn sure the first thing a free-market party would do would be to kill that funding so that further down the line they can point and say “look at the failing arts, we need corporate funding back to support this industry”

but yeah, the web, with its tendency towards “free” content, has an innate problem that I don’t see going anywhere. there are occasional pushbacks against advertising. the TV industry went that way for a while, but now even Netflix is introducing an ad-supported tier

Welcome to the last twenty years of the software economy?
It learns the same way a human does by learning patterns. It is not illegal to comprehend how to accomplish tasks by reading other people's source code.

The arguments against my point always assume perfect memory of everything this model is consumed. This is the plagiarism position. In reality, some patterns are more common than others and generate a code that looks nearly identical. I can’t speak for the reasons for this, as I’m not familiar with all of the methods. However, I don’t assume that is the current working state or intent of Codex.
It seems the authors did not find evidence of a "pink tax":

"Finally, while our findings do NOT support the existence of a pink tax as conceived by regulators, a more expansive definition of the pink tax could include differences in markups across men’s and women’s products."

"...our finding that women’s personal care products are not systematically more expensive than substantially similar men’s products calls into question the role of government intervention to reduce the pink tax."
Maybe MSFT should have one instance of Copilot for each common license, and then the user gets to pick which licenses they want to deal with when using Copilot. If you're writing code for a BSD-licensed codebase, you might accept Copilot trained on BSD- and MIT-licensed code, as well as any other license that's compatible with BSD. If you're writing code for a proprietary codebase you might want to exclude Copilot trained on any copyleft licenses. And so on.

>OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, et al will STILL train such models that can do all the same things, but it will be much harder for non-industry-backed individuals to navigate the legal minefield where you must ensure you properly attribute your model outputs, only train on opt-in data, etc, etc. Surely no one really thinks that a court case against Microsoft/OpenAI (even if they lose) would stop CoPilot?

I don't fucking care, I'm not in the business of competing with OpenAI or whatever. If you want to launch and AI startup but you can't that's your fucking problem, not mine. I just don't want them violating the licenses of the open-source programs I have created.

> "look I prompted CoPilot for this piece of code that I already knew about and it spit it right out" (that's not how it's going to be used in practice).

It proves that copilot has the capacity to copy existing code without fulfilling the requirements of the license. I don't care if it's "cherrypicked", this shouldn't happen under any circumstances.

> I wish the conversations around generative AI could be...just better.

I wish that these people making all these complicated language-comprehension machine-learning systems could read the fucking license statement at the top of the file and copy that license statement along with the code. this ought to be a solvable problem. I'm pretty sure i could write a bash script that does it if M$ is looking to hire.

Further, there just isn’t “cheating” in a proof. Being able to do a demonstration yet another way just illuminates the phenomena all the better.

The whole thing is about polymorphism, but Swift calls that generics. Similarly “function specialization” is Swift lingo for monomorphization.

The part about module boundaries is what allows separately-compiled and updated shared libraries to work (like the frameworks in the OS). There’s an @inlinable attribute to publish a function’s body to clients, but then if you update the library it won’t be picked up until clients are recompiled (which might be fine, for example a lot of standard library collection algorithms and so on are inlinable).

Were it not for this, I would go back to the landline that I enjoyed until recently.

It regularly strikes me as absurd that quality was so much better on an old landline. It's an odd trade-off for which I would never have voted.

Even still, my main complaint is over the loss of minor things like pay-phones. I think I'll always bemoan the idea of a telephone number being associated with a person, rather than a location.

Press x to doubt. I haven’t seen any evidence that student loan forgiveness will cause double digit inflation.

I have seen baseless claims that the current inflation is being exacerbated by the student loan relief which hasn’t occurred yet, but as I said, they are baseless
exactly lol. i had a friend point this out when we were at a Walgreens or CVS or somewhere a while back except the pink one was a gillette (expensive name brand) and the man's was a BIC (a cheap brand). or sometimes the pink one has more blades or whatever.

regardless, there's literally nothing that would prevent a woman from buying the "man" version. i would buy the pink one if it was cheaper without thinking twice.

no idea about the deoderant side though, obviously men/women want different smells on that. i wonder if it might have to do with women wanting more "exotic"/complex smells where men care less, or wanting a broader variety.

here's the other interesting question it presents: are women (for some reason) less price elastic on some things? something like deoderant is a widely available commodity product so companies magically finding some way to make women only pay more (but not men) would be surprising.

But isn't it copyright upon which open source is founded? The license is based on the right of the owner of the copyright to authorize someone else to create a derivative work?

Without copyright, it would be perfectly legitimate and legal for someone to not follow a license (because it would bear no legal weight because of the lack of copyright).

I would argue that open source is best served by strong copyright protections that allow the people created the software to make sure that further changes to it are released back to the community. Weakening copyright law means that it is that much easier for big companies to co-opt some software and not need to release the changes back.
Based on the abstract, it sounds like these are basically the points they're making. The title seems to be a little unclear or editorial to me though.
Lisp isn’t odd at all. It’s just a locally optimal direct representation of an abstract syntax tree (AST). Above all else, that’s the defining characteristic of Lisp. The programmer is necessary manipulating an AST when writing in any language, Lisp just makes it clear.

IMO, It will last. It's impossible to roll it back.

IMO, if the lawsuit goes to a point where it's likely to be won by copyright owners, Open AI could do the following:

- Use less sensitive code from big corps they have partnership with for training. I bet MS and other have plenty of such code.

- Buy training rights from copyright owners of OSS projects. Many of them have SLAs which allow the owner do much more than the license allows.

- Buy rights to train code, and collect generated code with Copilot from a large number of smaller software companies, likely with exclusions for some sensitive parts. MS has a lot of leverage here (discounts, partnerships, etc).

Those defi projects don't require much to dismantle. The entire point of them is to accumulate more crypto. That's it. And since crypto is useless, they also serve no useful purpose.

The only exception you mentioned is ENS, but there isn't anything special about that. It's just a DNS system but centralized into a smart contract instead, and because it's on ethereum you have to pay gas fees in addition to the registrar fess. No actual benefit to using it versus real DNS.
Interesting idea but perhaps you are confusing attitudes to code with attitudes in general.

eg Ops tends to be very attached to getting the infrastructure correct whereas developers care about that less. Developers will write an application that handles all sorts of data edge cases but doesn't react well to network errors.

it only runs afowl of antitrust laws if it solidifies an unfair monopoly and/or uses market position as a monopoly holder to prevent fair competition from emerging.

most monopolies are completely legal. small town with only one gas station or one grocery store? 100% monopoly, 100% legal.

there are plenty of alternatives to github, paid, free, as a service, and self-hosted. GitHub has a large market share, but no monopoly.
> It creates a body of knowledge, everyone can use and can't be sued for since it would be the industry standard way to do things.

That's just not true. If the "industry standard way to do things" is to violate other peoples' copyright, then everyone doing that absolutely can be sued.

And while it's not clear if using these AI tools constitutes copyright infringement, it looks to me like there's at least a very strong case that could be made.

And at up to $10,000 per copy (register your code with the copyright office if you care about this issue!), that starts to add up very quickly. Even for a company like Microsoft.
The article headline says that, but nothing on the Espressif site says that, nor in the included links.

In fact one of the links is from 2018, the other is an interview with someone from RISCV that doesn't mention Espressif, and the last one is for a non-RISCV ESP32.

https://www.espressif.com/en/company/newsroom/news

I can't find any news releases anywhere about this either, except the launch of the ESP32-C2 (mentioned in your link), which is just some low end chip they put out.

Pretty much. Yet more institutional sexism against men.
If you live in Erlang for a while, you'll come to terms with recursion for loops. It's kind of weird to start with, but you get used to it. Kind of the same thing with the rest of the syntax issues. Of course, I wanted Erlang with nicer syntax, but then they gave me Elixir, which is worse (IMHO), so be careful what you ask for.

Immutable data is a key simplifying assumption of the VM though, and you can't write traditional loops without mutating some data, so there you go. Yes, sometimes the VM cheats a bit and mutates some data here and there, especially if you do stuff with the process dictionary, but you can't make self-referential data structures, which keeps GC simple.
Crazy idea.. have the automatic code generator check if the code is too similar to a source it was trained on, and if so, automatically include attribution as well.

Ta da!
Their research suggests that the market already effectively prevents the form of price discrimination targeted by legislation--so-called third degree price discrimination. On balance, third degree price discrimination disfavors men, but only by 0.05%. Whereas so-called second degree price discrimination disfavors women by 11%. However, in second degree price discrimination there are often actual, substantive differences in the product, for example additional ingredients like moisturizers, so the "discrimination" is at least partly rooted in costs and preferences.

There are still areas where women see problematic price discrimination, such as at car dealerships. (First degree price discrimination?) The crux of their argument is that the best way to deal with that, if at all, is through more transparent pricing as according to their research women are capable (en masse) of forcing fairer pricing when they can more easily comparison shop.

It might be the case that it is fair use to train the model on public data, but the code which it produces is covered by AGPL. Github limits liability in its TOS.

What exactly is "daft" about using a 3rd-party VPN service? Yes, you're trusting that service to protect your privacy, but why would you distrust them over, for instance, your ISP or your government? If you live in Iran or something, trusting your own government over an ISP service in the US would be utterly stupid. The whole reason these services exist is to protect privacy; if they didn't do that, they wouldn't stay in business long. Of course, there's limits to how much they really can protect your privacy, but still there's been no evidence that any of the major services have not done so.
> Of course I have no proof, I just can’t imagine anything else.

"Ambivalent" means "of two minds," but I'm going to assume you meant that you're indifferent.

If people are/were indifferent, their licenses should reflect that. They overwhelmingly don't.

Regardless, Microsoft is legally bound to obey the licenses.
Don't give them a more complicated problem. It seems like they're already struggling with any distinction between code they can and can't use for this. :|

Which is ironic given that this is Microsoft. Whatever happened to "don't use programmers' code without paying them" and the whole "proprietary software is better because it sustains the programmer"?

Really nice work. Some really good sounds in there, I especially like the opening which makes me think of a heavily processed chorused piano, and then some of the sounds after that bordering right on the edge of distortion. Very atmospheric.

Also cool to see someone bring up the KVR one synth challenge on here. I participated a few times just for fun and found it an unparalleled learning experience. I highly recommend at least giving it a shot to anyone musically inclined who is interested in learning how synthesizers are used in practice. I guess some months are better than others because they use different plugins each time but the wavetable one on there right now looks pretty interesting.
So you are saying, copyright does not apply to Spotify when it comes to music because they aren’t selling the music but rather a service to olay said music from a catalog?

Also to your other comment about copyright not being an issue if you just use a paragraph from a book - I am not a lawyer but I would think that copyright applies just the same way it applies to musicians who use portions of the melody of other musicians’ songs.
While I see the logic in that a lot more, logical != Ethical.
>The MODELVIEW_MATRIX is assembled in the vertex shader by combining the object’s MODEL_MATRIX and the camera’s VIEW_MATRIX

I'm not in the pirate archivist space, but sections 3 and 5 are relevant to my interests. I've had great luck with ZAP (https://github.com/zaproxy/zaproxy#readme) glued to a copy of Firefox (because it allows monkeying with the _browser_'s proxy without having to alter the system one as other browsers do) for archiving all content seen while surfing around a site. It even achieves the stated goal of preserving the HTML (etc) in a database since ZAP uses hsqldb

Then, section 5 reads like an advertisement for Scrapy since it is just stellar at following all pagination links and then either emitting the extracted payload as your own data structure and/or by telling Scrapy you want to download some media as-is. It will, by default, put the local content in a directory of your choice and hash the url to make the local filename. A separate json file serves as the "accounting" between the things it downloaded and their hashed on-disk filename

Scrapy is also able to glue 3 and 5 together because it has a pluggable (everything, heh) dupe detection hook and also HTTP cache support that can be backed by anything, including the aforementioned hsqldb operating in network mode. Scrapy is also very test friendly, since each method accepts a well known python object and emits either a follow-on request, zero or more extracted objects, or nothing if pagination has ended. Thus, one need not rerun the whole scraping process just to test if a bug has been fixed, or during development

I can appreciate there may be other scraping frameworks, but of the ones I've tried Scrapy makes everything that I've asked it to do simple and transparent
You probably can't get an ELOC against common stock in a series A startup. You can definitely get an ELOC at a pretty decent rate against preferred stock in a startup that is at series D and has 100 employees.

The question isn't what the company is worth or how likely it is to fail, the question is what demand there is for the shares. If an asset is in high demand, and is relatively easy to sell (like company shares), you can get an ELOC against it at a great rate.

They won't give you 100% of the valuation of the company in the form of an ELOC (you may only be able to pull out 10-20c/$1 of startup equity you have), but they will give you a good rate.
Nope, they’re all laptops.
Peace of mind from large bill is not something to be taken lightly.
Jumping into this but I've honestly lost my train of thought, lol

That said... is that any different from someone copying and pasting into their code vs copilot doing it?

If someone randomly pastes code that has a copyright, and people use it, how are they supposed to know they shouldn't be using it?

I imagine we're talking functions here though. Not sure if Copilot would reproduce entire libraries unprompted if they're not open-source, anyone have an answer?
I agree that it is very disorganised.

I interpret it as follows:-

"I have been reading a lot of thinkpieces by (non-technical, political) people who 1) don't understand the difference between a stock and a flow, so equate a billion dollars spent on making lithium batteries (which last 20 years) with a billion dollars spent on pumping oil, which lasts days[1]; and 2) don't understand the trends in PV/wind/battery prices and think that we are doomed to expensive energy forever, rather than the likely situation of imminent massive electricity overproduction."

"Those people are wrong, and extrapolating from Europe's gas shortage to a global crisis is wrong even in the short term."

1. We saw a lot of this stock/flow confusion (or capital/consumable confusion) with Falcon 9 reusability. Lots of people thought space companies were all about rockets: they didn't understand that those companies don't sell rockets; they sell launches to orbit. Some people still don't get this.
