I found it ironic when viewing the live demo on stage that the examples produced didn't have "FQCN"s (full names for modules, like ansible.builtin.copy), but rather shorthand names (like "copy") even though Ansible's lint tool will complain if you use the latter.

That's likely because the training data is Ansible Galaxy, and the vast majority of existing code doesn't use FQCNs. I still prefer not to, since it adds visual clutter to the playbook (not to mention a tiny bit of extra typing even with autocomplete), and playbooks work exactly the same 99.999% of the time.

Someone mentioned they were considering adding more lint-friendly inputs into the model, but as with all things AI, the way it's done could badly affect the output, too.

I still don't feel like there's a ton of value from any AI-driven code completion tools... writing out code (especially the initial bit) is often the first 1% of work when venturing out into new programming or automation work.
> It is a particular distributing of mass that solves the problem - typically, a highly specific distribution of mass

It's actually an extremely simple initial distribution of dark matter in the early universe. You can specify the entire distribution with one number: a spectral index. The thing is, we already know that the universe had that distribution of energy density anyways, because of the Cosmic Microwave Background.

If you take that very simple distribution and let the laws of physics run for 13 billion years, you get the required present-day distribution of dark matter. That distribution can be verified in several ways, including gravitational lensing, the rotation curves of galaxies, the motions of galaxies inside clusters, and the temperatures of hot gas inside galaxy clusters.

The fact that such a simple set of initial conditions can explain pretty much everything we can see on scales ranging from stars to the entire visible universe is why cold dark matter is overwhelmingly the favored paradigm.

Show HN: Playable archive on Twofer Goofer (Rhyme game via Stable Diffusion)
I’ve been using it for a long time and I’d happily pay $100 for it.

It can consume swagger/openapi docs and generate calls. It can generate code snippets and cURL requests. You can extract values from one response body to use as a variable in another request, the built in features go on and on- and there’s a decent extension ecosystem/write your own.

Most importantly, it just works, and it works well and quickly, with pretty much any auth scheme I’ve ever had to deal with.

I’ve only got really a couple of nits with the stand-alone version.

I still can’t figure out how to make it “use the same auth scheme” for every single request globally. Each request requires the auth config, but this is solved by just copying an existing request and starting from that. This could very well be my lack of knowledge, though I feel like I know the tool well.

The .paw file is binary and doesn’t do well checked into source control if you’ve got more than one person using it.

The Teams version, which requires a monthly sub kinda/sorta mimics a git style branch strategy for merging different members changes and handles the team problem pretty well.

All in all though, it is absolutely and BY FAR the best request tool I’ve ever used. A great combination of simple just get out of the way and advanced automation strategies. I use it every day.

EDIT TO ADD:

I forgot to mention their license is still a lifetime license. I paid them $50, probably 6 years ago now, and have never been forced to pay them another dime. I’d pay per major version or do the IntelliJ perpetual fallback if it came to it, but I’ve never once been bait and switched (looking at you Tower2).

QM is hard to visualise, but we have extremely sophisticated equations and principles for determining how quantum systems will evolve, and can engineer complex functioning systems using that knowledge. For example transistors only work because we understand QM well enough to precisely engineer the energy level state behaviour of electrons in semiconductors.

It would be like accidentally discovering antibiotics during the plague. You might not know how it works or why, but you know what it does and it absolutely gets the job done.
> stable diffusion is not that good: it is quite common to see extra fingers or limbs that blur together.

This is quite simply no longer the case. Yes, a naive use of the toolset will output bad quality images but experienced users can get images of this quality reliably now: https://imgur.com/a/W7D7Djh (possibly nsfw: realistic vampire woman with clothes drenched in blood).

It would be easy for someone to instead generate illegal content of that quality.

This does not mean that I believe future release should be blocked because of this fast however. Someone can use ready available FaceApp filters to create illegal content and the application is still on the app stores, any skilled person can use Photoshop to stitch together illegal content and Adobe has yet to close down, the list goes on.

The totality of the evidence must prove beyond a reasonable doubt. But not every piece of evidence must provide beyond a reasonable doubt.

My Airbnb in Portugal experience was almost identical to the one in the article. After some time it happened it got me almost laughing at this point. Fortunately for me I was able to be enough of a pain in the ass to get a full refund from airbnb and a coupon that made the monthly stay discount apply to less than a monthly stay. I had to spend more money in the end anyway. After this I try to avoid airbnb as much as possible.

Idk know how to phrase this in a polite and calm manner. What the heck are our politicians in the eu, us and aligned countries. This pandemic and the war revealed that we are extremely vulnerable both in terms of resources and electronics. Why is there no serious change in how we source both. At least for electronics why arent there plans for massive investments? I understand east europe is orders of magnitude more expensive than asia but if cost is a factor the area is still cheaper than western europe or the us. Or why not invest in semiconductor manufacturing in the us and west eu using modern robotics and processes? Do we enjoy being held for ransom?

I've been wondering how precise Starlink could get with positioning if they put some effort into it. Maybe add some dedicated hardware to the much larger 2.0 batch of satellites. If they felt they could surpass what is available via GPS, I could see them integrating Starlink uplinks into Teslas to aid their self-driving efforts. Adding always on data would be a bonus.

Extremely relevant here though. It's propaganda in the sense that there is much more media handwringing about a missing package on an upper middle class person's porch than there is about thousands of dollars of wage theft a year from poor workers. It's these misplaced priorities all together that make the propaganda work.

Edit to add: this example just happened to be on my mind recently. I intended it as an evocative example of priority setting, not as a thorough proof or something. But there is plenty of other evidence that crime reporting is carried out according to a propagandist program. For example, media critics have carefully surveyed how routine crime statistics are reported, and found that the ones that get headlines are often extremely cherry-picked and reported on out of context. Like "murders in neighborhood x increased 20% this year" is often the headline when murders overall in the area are going down, other crime is down even in that neighborhood, and the 20% is based on a baseline of like 10 murders anyway, so the 20% increase is well within the noise. And of course, they leave out the comparison to ten or thirty years ago, when the rate was substantially higher. Crime reporting is like that year after year, no matter what is happening to crime rates overall. Not to mention that "so and so thinks briefly about reducing police budget" is considered newsworthy -- even when those budget reductions rarely come into effect -- while the norm of police budgets that balloon year after year and are overspent year after year is rarely mentioned.

The premise of the cloud is actually a good idea: if you only use the server for 1cpu-hours per day, you should only pay that, and let others use it for the other 23cpu-hours in the day.

The executions we've had so far are terrible. There's huge markup, piles of complex abstractions, and all the other issues mentioned in this article.

When I was a teen, I used to pay this guy in town like $1.5 a month for a user on a *nix machine where I could run scripts and run my own IRC bouncer and stuff. A bunch of people shared this machine (mostly running IRC bouncers, AFAIK). I've no idea now many, it was stable, and nobody was eating up all the CPU. It worked.

I feel that this nostalgic memory of the past is closer to a utopic "cloud" than anything any modern provider is offering.
What I don't understand is why we call it "observation" when it should really be "interaction". The quantum weirdness resulting from the collapse of probabilities has nothing to do with a conscious observer, just whether and at what point the phenomena in question interact with something else in an observable way.

I have never fully understood that idea, even after reading Hossenfelder's posts about it. The idea that there's a "block universe" and everything is predetermined is comprehensible, sure; but what's the exact mechanism by which Bell's inequality is violated in experiments? Doesn't that require the universe to have been carefully set up to look as if it's acting in a weird non-local way, on an experiment-by-experiment basis? I assume I am just misunderstanding the idea, though. Any suggested reading material much appreciated!

In my experience, and I've stayed at a lot of them, BnBs usually have a hot sit down breakfast but it's not universal. I've certainly stayed at BnBs where the host is politely but firmly clear they're not there to entertain you and there will be coffee out in the morning and feel free to grab some yogurt from the fridge. While there is usually fruit and muffins that you can grab for lunch, they don't usually provide a brownbag lunch as such and rarely dinner.

You can actually use connect(2) for UDP. From the manual https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/connect.2.html:

> If the socket sockfd is of type SOCK_DGRAM, then addr is the address to which datagrams are sent by default, and the only address from which datagrams are received.

After that, you can use send() instead of sendmsg(), so it saves you on having to pass the host on each call to sendmsg.

It can also avoid extra DNS lookups: everything is handled for you by the kernel. See also: https://stackoverflow.com/a/51296247

> I'm sorry that I was not making points that support your feelings on Copilot.

That's a very petulant way to defend cherry picking. I wasn't asking you to support one particular view; in fact that's the problem I was identifying. Your sources presented a balanced view, which you misrepresented by citing only the part that supported your own conclusion.

> focus on the first part

No, because the second part matters too. Here's Lemley and Casey again (emphasis mine):

<<<some purposes—say, ... a translation program that produces a translation of an entire copyrighted work—seem more substitutive than transformative, so that if they run afoul of the ever-broadening definition of similarity in music, fair use is unlikely to save them.>>>

Or the Register:

<<<"I actually think there's a decent chance there is a good copyright claim," said Tyler Ochoa
...
the functional nature of the code means that reproducing it in a suggestion may not be seen as particularly transformative, which is one of the criteria for determining fair use>>>

Those are your own sources undermining - if not outright contradicting - your one-sided interpretation.

The limitation to market harms in the four-factor test for fair use should not be considered permanent. Law is, after all, a social construct. There's ample precedent for considering harms to the commons, to communities, and so on in other areas of law. Also, there might indeed be market harms. If a company open-sources some of their code but also hopes to profit by selling it in pre-packaged form or as a service, then AI-washed copying could constitute harm in even the most market-myopic terms. The "transformative" test is also pretty suspect in the context of AI-assisted copying, but this is getting long enough so I'll not go down that rabbit hole just yet.

Early on blogs and local forums got flooded with spam bots, and trolls, though come to think of it; Trolls were never a huge problem before, as Netiquette helped separate wheat from the chaff. In hindsight it seems like a more concerted effort ending in disabling of public comment threads, and consolidation on social media sites. Nowadays anti-spam bots are more accessible, so it should be possible to revive local forums.
I'm all for trying to understand these phenomena and running these experiments. Just trying to get a sense for how much of a grasp we have on these phenomena.

Based on the other responses, it seems like we can mathematically model these phenomena very well and make very good predictions. However, when it comes to explaining why these phenomena exist in the first place, we are like a medieval doctor trying to explain why antibiotics work.

There's a delightful insight here that I've seen in several different fields, which is not commonly taught in school: when trying to research a thing, first find out what other people have called that thing.

When we were researching the possibility of having cell towers on solar planes or blimps, we had trouble locating other efforts to explore the same until we stumbled across the verbiage "High Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS)" and unlocked a wide body of research and people that had investigated exactly this.

My best technique so far for doing this is to search in Google scholar for the plain English description of what I'm looking for, and then to go through the papers found to see the language and keywords used there. If I do another search with that keyword, do I find other papers talking about the same thing I'm talking about?
