It's kind a weird how patents and copyright are lumped together.
IPFS is just distributed content discovery and download.

Someone advertises the content to the network, then people looking for the content can find it. Usually the people who find it advertise that they now have it to the network too.

It has nothing to do with cryptocurrency but is commonly used as a great way to embed "larger" content into blockchains and other immutable stores. It works well for this because 1. The CID contains a cryptographic hash of the expected content 2. You can change where/how you store the actual content without updating the URL.
Same here, man. It’s for the reason you described in your first paragraph. Working in a soul sucking corporate office space is so painful for certain personality types.

For me at least, I’ve always thought it would be cool to be a delivery driver or someone who’s out and about everyday moving around… but I stuck with IT because it makes astronomically more money.

So sitting at a desk all day will require me be medicated because my baseline preference is to be up and moving, working with my hands, talking to people, etc.

I think a lot of people with ADHD that’s severe enough to require medication are just people who don’t do work that truly fits their personality.

Which if we’re being honest, sitting at a desk all day is not natural. I never needed Adderall when I was working in a warehouse in college, or when I was a city guide that was supposed to walk around downtown and greet people.

tl;dr Unnatural lifestyles require unnatural supplements.
People are upset that wages aren't keeping up with inflation, but profits are. The rest is bad expression of that idea.
> probably less gross than the bathroom where a toddler is potty training.

Nope. The dividing line between gross and just normal IME is public vs private. I've cleaned some bathrooms in my "career" (if you want to include high school part time jobs), and the worst ones were the womens bathrooms in public use; grocery stores etc.
Wow, I love the idea of using GT for reverse engineering. That would’ve been life-changing for my last experience, where I worked mostly in a hex editor. The context switching and slow feedback cycle were brutal. Documenting my growing understanding/implementation with live custom visualizations would’ve been awesome. Unfortunately, that was twenty years before I discovered GT!
Spam (and scam) detection in social networks is hard. Yet it is fascinating how "random" suspensions like these (sometimes without recourse if you aren't famous or know the right people) feel like they come straight out of a dystopian sci-fi script.
Yes, I was wondering where they were rasterizing to. Although of course the most long-lived way is to just P/Invoke straight into user32.dll to bring up a window.

(The last time I wrote a 3D rasterizer was in 1996, and I had to type my dependencies in from paper into Borland Turbo C)
My life-long addiction to food and water and oxygen would like to disagree.
They didn't claim that these things were true, they said that they're "endlessly fascinated by the effect your birth month may have on you"
in the same place you can find Mull which is privacy oriented and deblobbed version of Firefox. It supports add-on collections as well.
How can you tell entangled particles from non-entangled ones? I saw another article today about keeping quantum systems entangled for a long time by firing lasers in a Fibonacci pattern, but what allows them to see whether its still entangled?
Copyright is inherently immoral, but undermining that system for the sake of corporate profit is worse.
Even blue checkmarks don't help against trolls, far right and griefers running mass-report attacks.

The problem at its core is that Twitter refuses to hire appropriate levels of moderation staff for the scale it has, and that it does nothing against raid instigators. Reddit at least has subreddit mods take care of most of the bullshit and at least the large subreddit mods have direct connections to Reddit, and Reddit itself fights back against communities that "raid" other subs, but even there it's common experience on subreddits like TwoX that women get reported to the Reddit Suicide Alert.

Twitter however? Good luck if you're not in Germany where you can file for emergency civil injunctions against Twitter in the case of wrongful bans (Twitter and FB both learned the hard way to not ignore these) or have friends in media that can amplify your shitstorm. Twitter moderation teams only act on reports, they unlike Reddit don't seem to have any staff dedicated to monitoring sentiments and trends to detect abusive behavior.
What “positive eugenics” do you imagine coming out of research on the genetics of intelligence?

I mean one that would generally benefit mankind as a whole?
Are these the same people? On another note, I wonder how many people who find/found the practices of Microsoft questionable give it a pass when it benefits them.
That's a bad faith take. People that think copyright is bullshit don't want a world were copyright restricts everyone except for companies that can break it at scale.
Small aside: I thought it was cool that they used Tg (teragrams) for stratospheric loading instead of the ubiquitous "millions of tons".

We all understand SI prefixes now. I wish people would stop using "thousands of kilometres" (geography) and "millions/billions of kilometres" (astronomy) and instead just use Mm, Gm, and Tm.
Your comments were not a rebuttal of mine, just a vague "doesn't sound right to me".

So ..
GUI frameworks are subject to more churn than, I think, any other programming domain.

On the desktop, you have WPF, WinUI, QT, GTK, Swing, JavaFX, Electron, and a dozen more. On the frontend, you have React, Angular, Svelte, Ember, Vue, and probably a thousand more, plus roughly as many CSS toolkits as there are atoms in the universe.

And honestly? None of them are that great. Most of them are perfectly functional, but at some point you hit a limit of their abstractions, and start fighting against the framework, rather than fighting alongside it.

This is probably true of any domain if you go deep enough, but UI development seems significantly more fraught with danger and churn than the backend.
I have mixed feelings

What will benefit the world more?

I'd say allowing to train

But on the other hand I'd probably be pissed off if somebody took my work without credit

Hard to say, maybe link to original code would be fine?
All Talks from ViteConf – Nuxt SvelteKit SolidStart Astro Storybook StackBlitz
22/7 and 355/113 are both special in that the approximation error, relative to the denominator side, is unusually low. Pi is special in that it has even one such small-denominator approximation.
Patents and copyrights are not the same. Don’t conflate them.

I’m totally against software patents and totally in favor of software copyright, fwiw.
Quick improvement for Twitter: rephrase/defuse the wording to show that mistakes happen and that "permanent" might not be like … permanent.
Speaking about this, there is something I don't understand about AI-produced work : given how you need to train AI on an existing set of existing code (or artworks, or novels, or whatever), I don't even understand how it would be possible to patent/copyright the output as it is, to some remote degree, derivative by nature ? Humans don't need AIs to produce code, but the opposite is not true.
> how humans organise into cities and the needs for such cities to be efficient.

The same cities that many people despise living in yet do so for work? The same ones that basically everyone recognises aren't efficient at all. What is an ideal city in your opinion? San Fransciso? New York? Paris?

They are horribly inefficient places to live. Here in Sydney I know people who live in suburbia and need 20 mins in a car to simply buy a loaf of bread, there's no shops anywhere close by, it's just endless constant sprawl and 10 hours of commuting a week, 480 hours a year, and this is considered one of the most liveable places on Earth bizarrely.

I would love to hear what you think is a good proposal for a new city if this one is terrible?

> eat resources away due to the whims of one egoistical dictator

Not sure if you know much about the country, but prolific waste is basically their thing, as far as I'm concerned at least it's money not being spent on buying American bombs and military hardware. Every cent counts :)
My immediate thought is a human plagiarized the code, changed some variable names and white space up, and then uploaded it to GitHub without a license, or without a copyright license and that is where Co-Pilot got it from.

I could be totally wrong, but I have a hard time believing GitHub didn’t pay attention to licenses when training CP. I would put my money on some random person not respecting a license (like me, many times) and putting it up without thinking about the downstream effects.
I think that one of important purposes of hierarchy alongside the delegation of responsibilities is the delegation of liabilities.

One can let AI handle some of the aspects of responsibilities of middle mgmt, like reports, metrics and assignments. But should things go south for whatever reason, AI won't be able to assume the liabilities and shield the upper mgmt.

Besides, one can't form a clique or faction with AI.

On the other hand, replacing workers with AI still has the lure of "advancement" ... to bad AI hyped more than it could deliver and in the long run turned more expensive to operate, hardly replaceable too.
> What they got from Nazis more or less verbatim, was namely radars (later improved on and perfected) and electronic measurement equipment tech.

And submarines, the Type XXI German design, by far the most advanced of it's time, served as the basis of multiple Soviet submarine classes (which they quickly outgrew).
It is epicycles all over again.

I think modifying gravity might be useful.

Probably people who were slapping more terms to epicycles knew what they were doing is wrong but did it anyway because it allowed them to predict what they needed.
I'm not comfortable playing MAD/prisoners dilemma with stakes this high. If other people are, and the systems we make put those people in charge, then maybe it's for the best. Perhaps we'll destroy ourselves so thoroughly no civilization could rise from the amniotic goo, let alone one that takes wargames so seriously.
That's quite a huge accusation, do you have any evidence to back that up at all?

Cause if I understand the implication correctly, you're basically saying that the 2-3 megacorps who control food production (which is already far from true, IMO) are literally poisoning people to cause them to need antidepressants.
Good catch. “Suspended” by definition is temporary.
While i prefer json, I absolutly would not consider xml a legacy format.
I see. You won't tell the laws that define "collusion by proxy", somehow I expected this. I'd imagine a real lawyer (or a hundred of them) and not a real estate agent from Louisiana and other redditros would be all over these deep-pocketed companies if they had been in such a text book violation.
Ugh, do I fall into that rabbit hole often! The thing with GT, though, is that the cost of creating visualizations is so low - a few seconds - that it’s rarely a distraction
It should also be marked 2019 as stareatgoats indicates.
Even if this were the situation, and the owner of the 2nd repository were the one at fault, CoPilot can't point to the specific repository it "learned" the code from to absolve itself. If a human said, of sufficiently complex and virtually identical code, that they had made it independently, they'd be laughed out of a courtroom. In situations like this, the provenance of a generated idea (explainability) is needed to preserve trust.
> Utterly the wrong paradigm

When you emerge from the jungle, you may notice that not only UNIX conquered the world but even ""worse"" paradigms of Windows and iOS have proliferated. You have to ask why the situation that is so much worse is so popular: is it really everyone else who is wrong?
Wat. Most computer games are distributed to be played on private machines. Everyone cares, especially the copyright owners.
Ok, but that's an extreme case - that may have been bad whereas someone taking half a year off after working extremely high pressure job for a decade can be good.
Who is the "Reddit Suicide Alert?"
This sounds like a very reasonable suspension to me.
If a human """learns""" the code and ends up writing a 1:1 copy of a large function, comments and all, without respecting the license, they are breaking the law. People need to stop twisting this into a different issue than it is, copying is not the same as learning.
In other words, isn't it Kanye is paying a lot of money to the husband of one his "advisors" (Candace Owens)?
Github text search is pretty comprehensive. Should be findable, if it is in a public repository. Are private repos treated as copyrighted by the "only copyright free code" case?
It's very rare that these drugs ruin someone's life. For the most part, if they don't work for you, you just stop taking them and try something else instead without any long term side consequences.

There is the very well known risk of suicide in adolescents in particular, which is printed in a black box warning on all of these drugs. This potential side effect usually very early on in the treatment, and usually occurs in people who already had suicidal tendencies. Discontinuing the drug immediately typically resolves this. Responsible doctors will weigh up this risk and ensure that everything is done to make this less likely.

Other things are like sexual side effects can persist for some time after discontinuation, but nearly always resolve eventually. Serotonin syndrome is another risk but the chance of that is fairly low unless you take other serotonin-affecting drugs.

Should these risks be weighed up when considering treatment? Absolutely. Does that make the drugs harmful overall? Absolutely not. Look at some of the people who've experienced permanent nerve damage as a result of quinolone antibiotics - yet they are still on the market because sometimes there is no alternative besides death.
If true, quantum computation at 37C/98F with no shielding is quite an incredible feat.
Pretty sure that's the point being made.
And people attacked President Macron for not wanting to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine
Not really related to the Tea Act per se, but the revolutionary war was NOT a revolution at first. It was, from the very beginning, more of what you would classify as a rebellious act. An attempt to renegotiate the terms of colonial rule with mother England.

Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" changed all that. It's only after that pamphlet was published that you see the other founding fathers taking anti-monarchy stances and advocating for total independence. The Declaration of Independence was, at best, edited by Thomas Jefferson, but almost certainly written by Thomas Paine in my mind.

It's funny because Thomas Paine was an englishman who'd only just recently arrived in the colonies.
I wonder why is the ban permanent right off the bat?

To me it sounds reasonable to ban an alleged spam account for a limited period e.g. 24h - spammers won't bother waiting and will just create another account just like they normally do. An abandoned account can then be deleted.

Can anyone point out any obvious flaws in my reasoning?
Can you give an example of two computable reals who'se equivalence is undecidable?
I get the theory behind why the problem in general is not decidable, but I would love a constructive proof by example.
Are pharmaceuticals food?

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2021/...

Americans eat the most hyper-processed food on the planet. They're also over-prescribed with anti-depressant pharmaceuticals. Causation/Correlation? You decide: move outside the scope of Bayer's and Monsanto's reach, and see for yourself how less depressed you feel on a daily basis after a few months of real food ..

Final word: Nestlé.
Consciousness and quantum mechanics are both weird and are thus the same.
> Statements like this need to be worded very carefully.

I had a whole thing typed up, but deleted it, because I really only had one question: How would you word it differently?

To me it seems a carefully worded as possible, while still alerting to the fact that a class of drugs with terrible side effects are being massively overprescribed.
In my case, I have tried this and it didn’t work. Unfortunately I have what is known as a “floppy epiglottis”, which is what is preventing me from breathing.

With the CPAP machine I am definitely getting a better night’s sleep.
the US concept of "fair use" is far from universal and is more liberal than in the vast majority of the rest of the world
I’ve switched to Podverse recently, how’s Pocketcasts wrt podcasting 2.0 features? Life streaming badges, chapters, sats streaming, boosting etc?

I have to say, Podverse was rough some months ago but it’s improving very fast. I have the feeling they are more friendly towards the decentralized nature of podcasting whereas NPR may have mixed motivation.

It’s important to choose wisely imho, the once quite open podcast ecosystem is being gobbled up by YT and Spotify at an alarming rate.
Pearl Jam's furious, confrontational vs. album saved the band's soul
Sure --- independent thought and action, self awareness and motivation --- all the things that inanimate objects lack and will/have never aquired.
Well... it did. I couldn't distinguish quantum monism from Everettianism with my lay-person's understanding of the physics. I've gobbled up Sean Carroll's Biggest Ideas in the Universe video series on YouTube, and read his popular books on the matter, but that's the extent of my knowledge.
> It's been amazing to me that developed countries have bemoaned birth rates... and then done nothing effective about it.

A lot of developed countries have done a lot of things about it. A long time ago. It's mostly just the US that doesn't really seem to care about families, as far as I can tell. It's one of only 3 countries in the world that doesn't even guarantee paid maternity leave.
Even in this instance though, I’m not sure that this really falls at the feet of the person that uploaded it.

IANAL, but if someone naively uploads my copyrighted code and just checks the MIT License box without knowing better, I’m not about to sue them over it. I’m not sure “but this 13 year old kid learning to code for the first time uploaded it under a permissive license and it got gobbled up by our crawler so it’s not our fault your honour” would be an effective defence in court, either.

That all said, I’ve largely just described any modern search engine which has been working in this way for years. So.. shrug?

Will no doubt be litigated at some point down the road.
Sure, and I agree that this can be an honest mistake. But distributing the code through copilot might still be copyright infringement. If copilot indeed infringes on copyright on some cases, then there must be a way to make copilot complying and stop distributing the copyrighted code in question.

Normally, if person 2 steals your code and hosts it on Github while infringing the original license, person 1 can send a DMCA notice to Github to take the code down. A similar process could be involved for copilot too.

If copilot would be a DMCA safe harbor, then they would need to comply would DMCA notices and stop distributing the offending code in a timely manner. It might be implemented by elaborate filters (which are probably not a 100% accurate), or batching up DMCA notices, and retraining their model regularly with offending repos/code excluded.

Of course, Microsoft drag their feet and say that copilot never infringes on copyright. They don't want to do any of this.
such things however are just so often just so much better.

I was working with an intern lately, we both had remote machines in the same subnet (i'm omitting some details, of course), and he had to pass me a file.

We was about to download it on his laptop, upload it back to the cloud (slack message) when I would have had to download it on my laptop and send it back to the cloud.

I was able to show this young engineer how to use cat and nc (cat somefile.tgz | nc <ip-address> 8000) to send and then I would use nc (nc -l 8000 > somefile.tgz) to send it in a moment, without third parties involved and without having to make this file go across the globe multiple times.

The thing is: if you know what you actually need to do and have UNIX tools available, you can be insanely efficient.
> But as somebody with ADHD, it really hurts me to keep seeing this argument repeated ad nausea.

I've not seen or made this argument before, where does it usually go and/or what is the end result?

I too have ADHD, I'm sorry if my curiosity and thoughts have caused you harm. I'm new to it and want to know what's what.

Do you have any wikis or articles or twitter threads that can get me up to speed on the basics without traumatising people?
Industrial Strength Laziness: What's Next? [video]
This is planned to be 70B but trained in the chinchilla-optimal way (more data + training). Scaling laws suggest this should outperform the base 175B GPT-3. Then release the base model as well as the RLHF-tuned models.
You can report any post or comment on reddit, an one option is "self-harm or suicide" https://i.imgur.com/aGLtTeW.png I think it meant in a way that you are afraid of the person. If you are the one reported then you also get an automatic system message from reddit: someone thought you might have problems etc. Basically the suicide alert.

Anyways people use it all the time in every single sub for any unrelated thing, just because they hate you, downvoting is not enough, trolling etc. In sport subs it's very common to report opposing fans with this option for example
Flash memory—something we use everyday now—relies on quantum tunnelling.

I’m not sure if you consider that “macro,” but it affects our lives everyday and it blew me away when I first learned that it was an everyday application of effectively teleportation.
The difference being that those other causes of death may kill you, and maybe your family and friends if you are really unlucky, but they won't destroy everything else you love. Our own mortality is not the issue here.
Man gesticulates wildly. Asks why computers can’t read our minds and do what we intend. How are we stuck with terminal emulators, lol.

Okay terminal emulators need to go. And there are replacements these days. Some are better than others. But dang it they just don’t seem to catch on.

I don’t value debug-ability as highly as he does. I find that once you have a program with shared mutable state and concurrent or parallel threads, debugging loses its utility. I much prefer being able to reason about my programs in a principled way than trying to figure out how my program failed by piecing things together from debugger output. I’ve also had a pretty long career and have done both and arrived at almost the opposite conclusion: both are good but I prefer correct by construction, static type systems, and proofs.

I guess that makes us necromancers? Raising and keeping dead languages moving and doing out bidding?

It would be neat to have an image-based runtime like Commmon Lisp or Pharo (SmallTalk) while the language is statically typed in a rich system like Lean that can generate optimal native machine code and GPU shaders, etc. A fast, interactive theorem prover is also a must. If I’m gonna have my cake and eat it too might as well go all in.
Try Vitamin B1 as antidepressant:

Humans also read code, though. I don’t think we want a world where programmers are required never to read someone else’s code, or otherwise be barred from the profession.
It's fair to say it's both.
