if someone uploads a pirated movie to github, github won’t get the license if it goes to court, but they won’t get in trouble for the assumption that they had the license, either. the uploader had both pirated and committed wire fraud as gar as the github terms of service agreement is concerned.

either way, github is absolved. if a DMCA claim is filed on the movie, then that gets quarantined and removed from the list of things that they can show their users.

the user that uploads stuff to github.com attests that they have the right to upload it. by being uploaded, github can assume that it has the rights it asks of users unless and until they are told that they do not have those rights. so, github are covered until they are formally told that they are not, at which point they must restrict access to that data to themselves and others, which they regularly do.

these types of arguments do indeed work very well if github reacts promptly when they are told that they are using rights they do not have. github is not primarily used for piracy, like thepiratebay, and thus has a valid claim that they were lied to by a user. this is when the user who uploaded gets involved legally if the true copyright holder chooses to involve them.

you being mad at github, microsoft, or me doesn’t make any of us wrong.
I love bland and uninspiring names. What's libcamera? A library for dealing with cameras, I'd wager. What's AXIOM? Not sure... My first guess would be a proof assistant.

It's also not just FOSS, Apple for instance has many ThingKits(HealthKit, UIKit) but also TextEdit.
I'm curious about the endgame of copyright with respect to software. At some point, enough people will have written enough code that you can't write code anymore because some fragment of it violates a copyright. Where does the line get drawn? There's only so many ways to do certain algorithms, like DFS or BFS.
I don't get it. Why create a new, competing library instead of working with the devs of the existing library?

From the faq: "We see libcamera as a continuation of V4L2." Ok, why not just contine v4l2?

Or why not work with gstreamer?
> It's rather offensive to assume that a group of UX professionals decided to take on a massive overhaul just for fun.

I suppose it is human nature to randomly change things (see the other submission about gardening (continuous small changes are different from big changes time to time, still equally annoying)), also a result of the free market, there are too many UX people for coming up new products and make them final.

I bet if architects could change the buildings in minutes and for free, now we all lived in constantly changing (but obviously not improving) buildings.
Microsoft is using agpl code, therefore their code is subject to it. A lack of damages doesn’t give one the right to ignore licenses. If it does, like I mentioned it defeats the entire point.

VC typically has an investment horizon of 10 years, and the latest crypto surge is only ~2 years old. A lot of the companies from the last (circa 2018) ICO bubble did crash and burn. I don’t think it can be taken as fact that the ones from this round are “here to stay”.

>You can also read the HP series and write summaries and reviews about each book as wodenokoto. You can probably create HP looking artwork and write stories that could fit into the HP universe

IIRC there have been lawsuits about exactly that. A person wrote (and published) some fandom in the Harry Potter universe (without Harry Potter in it IIRC), he lost the case I believe. This is similar to the fact that you cannot make your own comic books with Mickey Mouse (unless your operation is small enough that it flies under the radar), the universe/characters are in fact copyrighted.

> Nobody is going to write a requirement that says "this avionics subsystem will function without error forever".

These time limits could at least be pegged to real-life intervals to when the system is going to be shut down anyway. If the system continues to be operated past that point, skipped maintenance intervals could be underlined as the cause.

It's not like a car, because your person is so much narrower than the structure of a car, less of the rear view is blocked width wise. You just put them towards the outsides of the handlebars and angle them inwards a bit. With careful placement you can have really good awareness of what's going on behind you, both directly and side to side. Oddly not very common on bicycles, but mandated on motorcycles.

Generally the justification is "hey, we offer one form of 2FA, that's pretty good. This TOTP thing is for paranoid nerds." Bosses see it as extra work for ~no gain, what's the point? You can explain the technical superiority of the approach until you're blue in the face but they see it as just another way to do what's already implemented.
I agree that training is fair use. I don't agree that when the model spits out verbatim or near-identical copies of copyright code that somehow the copyright is striped or that the usage of it is somehow fair use.

I believe that the vast majority of code that copilot produces is fine. But we have also seen clear examples of copyright violation.

The biggest problem is that it is basically impossible for the user to tell which is which.
> It’s a net harm for the programmers whose code is being willfully plagiarized.

What's the harm, specifically?

This. I used to use debugger all the time as a more junior dev, but I haven't used one in years now. Also, over time I spend more and more time writing tests. When there's a problem a simple print, echo, console.log or whatever is usually enough to solve it quickly.

The problem that debuggers solve is simply not a big problem anymore, in my experience. Definitely not worth the setup hassle when actively working on multiple platforms.
Thanks. So they will offer similar APIs as OpenAI and Hugging Face?

Here are a few prominent cryptographers in the 'cryptocurrency' scene with 'deep knowledge':

Matthew Green from John Hopkins University [0]

Zhenfei Zhang of Ethereum, Mina, Algorand blockchains who co-created the NIST post-quantum cryptography standard for digital signatures called Falcon [1]

Nadim Kobeissi creator of cryptocat now created Capsule Social [2]

Silvio Micali, Turing Award Winner for his work on Zero-Knowledge Proofs [3]

So, I'm afraid that there are some credible people like those above who have a significant and documented background in cryptography who are also working in the cryptocurrency industry.

To be honest, I meant to mention MASQUE as an aside, and it's in my notes somewhere to put in but it seems to have gotten lost. Anyway, I think it's great that we're seeing some new tech here, but it's of course been possible to do proxying in the browser using HTTP CONNECT for some time. The MASQUE piece is an incremental improvement over that. I think at some level the change is an increased awareness of the problem and more interest in doing something about it.

It seems to me that the main obstacle to having really widespread proxying is financial: there are substantial incremental costs to proxying the traffic, someone needs to bear that. I expect this is why Private Relay is part of a iCloud+ rather than free for everyone. So, I'm not sure how that's going to shake out.
But China doesn't actually have a lot of technological prowess on their own. The USG might be trying to slow them down but they're not concerned about China militarily.

I worked for a defense contractor back in the early 2000s when the USG was selling a lot of arms and systems to Taiwan. I got to see the bullying in person via the ASOC (part of the C4ISR platform) system we were installing. China would routinely fly fighters over the straight to the boundary and fly the line and return to the mainland. I didn't understand the rationale at the time but the US was enabling Taiwan for their own interests in chips. China doesn't matter as much but Taiwan does. The US always had a large naval presence in Taiwan that I saw. China has a relatively weak naval force in comparison - but obviously enough forces to easily take over Taiwan if and when they really feel the need to. I think these programs just bought the US more time.

Ultimately though, China needs Taiwan for those chips. The problem being that if the major producers leave Taiwan then China is hopeless as they don't possess the capabilities or people to retool. They need the likes of Germany and others to even think about the ability to produce competitive processors to AMD / Intel. China can't build its own fab for these types of procs.

Finally, I didn't realize until more recently that China was, and still is, relatively incapable on their own. Some recent books put it into perspective for me on a global scale. But the fact that China just recently figured out how to manufacture a high precision pen is an interesting reference [0].

You'd be surprised. Most legitimate cryptographers I know won't touch this space with a ten-foot pole. That should you to guess who the people actually implementing it are.
I have code of mine which has been uploaded to GitHub without my permission (other than it being licensed under GPL or MIT, no contributor agreement). I cannot see how that would be covered.

Additionally copyright infringement can be a criminal matter in my country and the Swedish prosecutors have certainly not signed these agreements.
If everyone worked all day, this place would be deserted.
Summer is not a good time for a Congress, for large event venues like congress centers tend to be fully booked by then. Which leaves camps - but not everyone loves the idea of camping, and then you got the weather gods to sacrifice to (I vividly remember the thunderstorm evacuation...).

Given that virtually every other country in the world seems to have accepted that Covid will be here to stay, Germans will eventually have to take the plunge as well.

Crazy crypto mining story from 2013
I wasted my student welfare checks, sold my belongings and dragged myself into debt to go all-in during the first Bitcoin mining gold rush in 2013.

A true story that sheds light onto what crypto mining was like before the times of warehouse mining farms and dedicated mining hardware (FPGA & ASIC).

Wishing to hear from others with similar experiences in the comments. Take me back to the good old days.

I lost a job twice during the dotcom era and again last year during COVID. It happens even to good people sometimes due to circumstances outside of your control.

The very best way to land a new job is by networking. Follow up with former coworkers, friends, and family for leads on possible positions. They can help you get your resume in front of the right people. Last year when things weren’t looking good at my company I started reaching out to my network. With my experience and salary, I was a little worried about finding something comparable. I hooked up with a former coworker who convinced his company to open a position for me. Two weeks later I had a new job with a sizable increase in salary.

By all means look on linked in or indeed or whatever and send your resume out too, but make sure you engage your network. It really is about who you know.

AFAIK only read only snapshots can be sent and received. It kind of makes sense, since a writable snapshot could be written to during the send/receive so that the remote result would not match any clearly defined local state.

A received ro snapshot can be used as a base for a new writable snapshot.
So, can someone explain to me why I can't get ANY chips for anything at all? Everything is out of stock that I use in my designs (Audio processing equipment). microprocessors, microcontrollers, ADCs, DACs, audio codecs, memory. Even bread and butter diodes were hard to source a few months ago. You name it, Mouser/Farnell/Digikey/the manufacturer doesn't have it. And if they do, it's priced at 500% MSRP.

It may be "swinging the other way" but we're at the very depth of the curve right now, and lead times are frequently 12-18 months. I can't see any evidence that it's swinging back, personally, maybe someone else does (like the writer of this article).
It shouldn't be surprising that anything Meta does might get negative bias from traditional media. Meta/FB has fueled the decline of traditional news media. Factual accurate reporting doesn't keep people "engaged" and scrolling through their ads but misinformation and internet "experts" arguing about things they aren't qualified to even think about makes money.
She already have one:

">Weather-fixated television news would make us all think that disasters are getting worse. They’re not. Around 1900, 4.5 percent of the land area of the world would burn every year. Over the last century, this declined to 3.2 percent. In the previous two decades, satellites have shown further decline — in 2021, just 2.5 percent burned."

If that's better or not is up for debate because we lack a clear understanding of our environment as a complex system. The necessity of wildfires and their positive and negative impacts on ecosystems is still lacking. This superficial quantification without having a good idea of the genuine impact of our actions on our ecology is one of the biggest problems with this "number goes up/down equals good/bad" mode of argument that's motivated by trying to convey 'good news'.

Trying to reason about the health of a system from the health of individual parts is not useful. Because it's the interaction of the parts that determines its robustness, not the parts taken individually. You may have improved the performance of seven of your organs, if your hearts not around to pump any blood to them you got a problem.
yes, but that's not a JVM-like slowdown. It's fairly well amortised and _clearly_ not a matter of consideration when writing an app or a library.

If your issue is "atomics are slowing down my app", then I assume you already milked the code to the latest micro second of performances everywhere else. This is likely not the case here and not a general advice I would give to anyone.

Remember, some dev in python where concurrency is inexistent, start-up time is horrendous and performances are abysmal compared to rust. (this is exaggerated: of course you can run stuff in parallel in python)
That's a rather naive view of truth. For intuitionistic mathematics (which is very important for theoretical computer science), truth is a mental construct of a proof in a language, and only shared by communicating that construct to other minds.

The question is whether we can communicate our mathematics to non-humans, whose senses may be radically different from our own.

And likewise, would we be able to understand a non-human proof?

In my opinion, video4linux is already a decent kernel API which exposes cameras to userspace. However, as embedded camera setups are becoming more and more complex, with more and more programmable image processors and configurable subdevice node graphs, the userspace code to interact with the mess is becoming more and more complex. My understanding is that libcamera builds on top of the video4linux kernel API, but presents a much simpler interface.

And they already work with gsteramer. Libcamera provides a gstreamer plug-in. But because libcamera is also a separate library, people who don't want to add all of gstreamer as a dependency can still get the benefits.

I'd love it if people who are more involved could correct me if anything I said is inaccurate.
