The debate over Copilot is not new either: at launch, it kept suggesting Carmack's fast square root code. (which got patched a day or so after). The recent shenanigans were about the code that was published under wrong license by third parties, and then picked up by Copilot.

Any overfitting (reproducing the training data verbatim) is not intended and is avoided as much as possible. But it's inevitable sometimes, and is a worse problem in code than art, as you have no way of knowing if it reproduced some private code verbatim.

And no, it's certainly not the entire debate, many people are also afraid that their job will be automated. Which is a silly assumption in case of Copilot as well as with image gen models - it stems from the misunderstanding of what it can and can't do, what's fundamentally possible with it in the future etc.

The moral panic is strong, but I have the feeling that it's amplified by social media without really being substantiated. The advent of CGI was the same, it just was more quiet due to the lack of social media at the time.
This is an interesting idea. I work on video creation applications, and what I’ve found is that there is a very small sliver of users who want programmatic access to the data model, and the rest not only don’t want it, but are turned off by it.

A problem with adding it is that it opens up a lot of ways to mess up your application, so you have to do a lot of work to make it work properly for users. Given how awful every developer tool I’ve used over the last 40 years is, I have to believe that making developer tools is a very difficult thing to do. Now making one that non-programmers can use, seems even more difficult. It does leave users with a lot of power, though. I can’t argue that.
Probably yes, as it means less actual sensor surface, so it's a tradeoff between better focus and noise. But it's hard to quantify without comparing electrical signals.
How about re-implementing it for the editable Web? (Wiki-like, but with additional controls and some web-based editor?)
Partly due to power imbalance. Congresspeople are not typically subject to routine violence just because they are congresspeople. They aren't typically dealing with a healthcare system that is actively hostile to them. They don't have high levels of homelessness, abuse, and suicide.

Additionally, congresspeople are public figures - being satirized is part of the social contract when you become a public figure.

And congresspeople have power. Lots of power. Saying that an average congressperson and an average trans person are equal is just not true.

If you pulled out another minority group with little power, your rule might be more agreeable.

Ah yeah but the "tail" on that arrow is much longer! The one I see in Linux and BSDs appears to be literally pixel-for-pixel identical to the Macintosh one, though I haven't exactly done a closeup comparison.
One doesn't need to be able to point to a specific thing which they invented while alone in their garage with no help from anyone else in order to be a remarkable person. Elon is intimately involved in the minutae of SpaceX engineering and damn, if landing orbital rockets on a floating barge isn't impressive enough for you, I don't know what is.

Have you seen Retool (https://retool.com)? It feels familiar to HyperCard / Visual Basic, but now in the cloud. I’ve used it and like it.
I found these articles to be a good overview on this topic --- the change of interpretation between "sex" and "gender", and defining characteristics of "woman" within the context of feminist philosophy:

Not at all professing any love of Nim, but do think their concept of various options for memory management was a good one. Not all programmers have the same goals and problems.

Part of the issue can be that languages that do not provide any options for memory management, can try to make it seem that GC is more of a liability than it is. In the case of Nim, D, and other langauges... They are giving options, versus none. The lack of convenient choices, might be the greater issue, versus stigmatizing GC.

It's an interesting segue you make that strawman's to reinforce my point.
fun fact - that circuity is totally superfluous. Connector itself has 4 small pins underneath main ones specifically for detection. Nvidia did Apple here inventing stupid shit to make it proprietary. All this circuity does is 4 to 2 binary encoding.
Get into calls with some of the investors who want to talk to you, and ask them exactly what they would do in your position.

Some of them will bullshit you, others will give honest advice. Figuring out which is which is a skill that can't really be taught, you've just got to take meetings and practice.
Just a random idea, but if you were to hustle in the first few weeks of your job and leave a good impression, wouldn't that translate you to actually being expected to be a quick deliverer? At one point you may simply burn out due to this…
There would not be enough buyers. If there were you would have an absurd situation where there is 650bn chasing the shares at that price based on the same public information that is making the “Other half” want to sell everything at that price. That might be possible with more “rigged” markets like cryptocurrency shitcoins. But I can’t see it is possible here.
I remember the time when celebrities and governments were not on the platform. Things were (probably not unrelated) better for us users back then!

I don't know where you lived but where I did internet adoption was slow, and most computers operated in isolation for years before everyone was connected. Floppy disks and CD-ROM reigned supreme for quite a while. Long enough for a new version of HyperCard to have come out with hyperlink support if that had been a priority.
In my experience your options are either [high initial fixed cost + low maintenance cost] or [low initial cost + high maintenance cost]. Usually there is so much pressure to "demo" and "show something" that you end up biased in favor of the latter option.

Exactly. It's like when people thought it was some amazing play so he could sell loads of tesla stock without tanking it. No, because if it was he would have given himself loads of getouts. Instead he gave up rights to all DD. Just arrogance IMO and he had to pay the price.

Now it's operation "get money back". He'll probably hold it for 5-10 years until tech stocks recover then IPO to try to foist it on his gullible fanboys. Until then he just needs to not scare off advertisers and cut costs enough to afford his debt repayments.

A traffic network's purpose is to move people from point A to point B. If you double the lanes and they fill up, you've doubled the throughput. If traffic doesn't move any faster, it's because the old traffic jams were a bigger problem than was visible. You've still alleviated the issue by allowing twice as many people to reach their destination in the same amount of time.
"Adapt or die" ... funny how the general reaction of geeks when Copilot came was quite on the opposite.
Not a fan personally. Looks like someone tried to make a truck out of a table napkin.
but it's darn useful to be able to look at the OS code to figure things out when it's acting weird.

As the other sibling comment here notes, we did that even if we didn't have the source code; we just looked at the Asm instead. People like Andrew Schulman and Matt Pietrek made themselves famous by doing that.
The issue with technical debt, is no-one cares to pay it later. So rewriting means let it broke, it's faster and simpler than fixing a mess.

This is true for you and me, but when we're dealing with the laws of large numbers I can guarantee there are folks who are not able to understand that these are "just jokes".

Looking at what the families of Sandy hook victims suffered at the hands of mentally ill viewers of Alex Jones is heartbreaking. When you have an audience of millions, I believe you have a responsibility to be intentional about what you publish, because you know that someone might take you very seriously and do awful things.

Sure, we can catch the people who make threats often enough, but the damage has already been done. It's far better to ask folks to be considerate and intentional about who they target, rather than try and sweep up the wreckage of someone's life after the fact.
Lots of good advice on online resources here. To round this out, I’d highly recommend an accelerator as a first time founder. Any accelerator will be able to introduce you to resources and people, but I’d look for a tech stars accelerator nearby. Getting a mentor you can trust that has recently done a similar path will yield the best advice!

It doesn't copy verbatim, neither does it copy parts. Sure, if you request "Sunflowers by Van Gogh" you will get something very close to Sunflowers by Van Gogh. That's because Van Gogh produced several similar works with sunflowers, because models are notoriously overfit on those, but more importantly because you asked for it specifically; you could have asked Google and get unlimited copies of Sunflowers that are much more precise. Good luck accidentally describing Sunflowers in abstract terms, though. So, you would be responsible for plagiarism if you publish a work of art created by someone while claiming it's yours, not the model creators.
I think we overlook wordiness too often! In fact, each "good" example in TFA can be shortened without losing context:

Good:

"I checked the foobar.py script and told Sarah that there was a bug related to updating the users table in SQL — the script does not seem to update the last name column."

Better:

"I found a bug in foobar.py and told Sarah it's not updating the last name column in the users table."

Good:

"Hi team, the email sending worker keeps crashing with the following exception. I've tried re-running, clearing the cache, re-installing dependencies. Can I get a hand?"

Better:

"The email sending worker keeps crashing with the exception below. I reran it, cleared the cache, and reinstalled dependencies. Can I get a hand?"

Good:

"The resource defines two routes, but the GET handler can only handle one of those — the one without any path params. I can technically make a request GET /api/foobar/123/456 and have the app crash with a 500 because there is a route but the handler doesn't take any params.

Roughly speaking, there are two "types" of resource endpoints — list and singular.

List type resource endpoints handle
- getting a list of resources: GET /things
- creating a new resource: POST /things

Singular type resource endpoints handle
- getting a single resource: GET /things/123
- updating a single resource: PATCH /things/123
- deleting a single resource: DELETE /things/123

To handle all cases properly, you need two resources:

...
"

Better:

"The resource defines two routes but the GET handler can't take path params, so a request to GET /api/foobar/123/456 crashes the app with a 500.

There are two "types" of resource endpoints:

List:
- get a list of resources: GET /things
- create a resource: POST /things

Singular:
- get one resource: GET /things/123
- update one resource: PATCH /things/123
- delete one resource: DELETE /things/123

So you need two resources:

Sure, I agree - I don't think what you said contradicts my point.
That's an exceptional bit of edition-based lying you're doing here. Here's the end of the paragraph whose start you quoted:

> the project does not accept patches from people who have not submitted an affidavit dedicating their contribution into the public domain.

So your statement that SQLite "does NOT accept contributions" is plainly wrong. SQLite is not "open contribution" because it requires an affidavit in order to ensure the project remains public domain.

It's an electronic testing and examination environment for German universities.

It's very far from big data, but we have to support very small universities with very limited tech budget. We pre-generate and store the exams to ensure that we do not have any compatibility issues in the future (e.g. by changing minute elements of the randomisation).

The biggest database currently is about 700GB and I assume that we'll reach an equilibrium at around 2 TB.
I think success takes a lot of hard work and little luck. Great success takes a little more hard work and a lot more luck.

I think Bill Gates, Elon Musk are all examples of great success. It doesn't mean they are vastly different from the similar hard working people in their fields. It just means that they did a "little" more combined with lots of other factors that put them where they are.

The Go collector isn't generational or moving, and the write barrier AIUI is only used for getting it to run concurrently. The barrier records interesting writes when the collector is running, to avoid "losing" objects whose liveness changed while the collector was running.

Barriers are pretty cheap; [0] claims a 0.9% time overhead for a card-marking barrier common in generational collection and 1.6% for an object-logging barrier which is also useful for concurrent collection. Apparently they're cheaper nowadays, but the results aren't published yet [1]. That's not to say that the barriers are free, but it seems feasible that collector optimisations could still cover that ground.

It can help throughput, still, by running the collector concurrently. I've felt that while working on a new parallel (but not yet concurrent) collector for SBCL; the program parallelises well, but a serial collector hurts worse than it should by stopping the program.

It cannot have been a threat to staff because it was never uttered by Elon to the staff. It cannot have been a way to influence public/shareholder sentiment because it was never said in public.

If he ever did say it, it was allegedly said to other investors in a private setting. More than likely it's a fabrication by someone who hates Elon (as unlikely as that sounds) laundered into the media as from an anonymous source.

You can kind of handle this use case today. You can download a part of wikipedia, and then people should retrieve content from your node in addition to the official mirrors.

The problem is that the performance of content discovery and content sync in ipfs leaves something to be desired. And also, probably due to this, there is also a lack of tooling for such use cases.

The "shared wikipedia" use case is one I specifically would like to solve. Compared to some other things out there, it is a relatively small data set. And lots of people would be willing to help share wikipedia. So it makes for a great test case.

"half the country" overstates things. Roughly 40% of Americans believe that trans rights are good, roughly 30% believe they are bad, and 30% are undecided.

I'd argue that if Twitter has a liberal bias, it reflects the mostly majority opinions. (Speaking as a leftist whose friends are constantly banned for trivial nonsense, Twitter also hates the left. Not the Democrats, they aren't leftist.)

Very interesting! It looks like an Open Source core + Premium features business model (just guessing here).

How heavy is the download? What's the minified client size at the moment?
It isn't just that, though.

The idea of putting on a headset and "experiencing" a "chat" is a downright Lovecraftian dystopia that I want no part of - and I work in tech. Maybe it's the proximity to hardware that makes me so hostile to the idea, but I cannot for the life of me imagine doing that voluntarily. And thus I have to imagine that it wouldn't be voluntary if it becomes mainstream. "Everyone needs a facebook" becomes "everyone needs an Oculus" and so on. That it's $500 is a minor aspect of this.
Tesseract has a horrific API and decades of technical debt. Add to this, it's also very sensitive to fonts. So... yeah, OCR is 'solved', but that doesn't mean it's easy.

> simplified map of a complex territory

Bingo. This is what scientific terminology aspires to. Except “sex is pretty darn binary” is a useful, meaningful simplification, while “sex is a spectrum” is at best a fundamental misunderstanding of what a spectrum is, and at worst a politically motivated conflation of intersex conditions with gender variation.
Rather the opposite. Return to sanity with gender defined by biology and provide mental health treatment for trans.

It is because twitter needs to earn money and the way they earn money is through advertisers.
He's really not. The banks are only involved so that he doesn't have to sell as much of his Tesla shares. And that's to say nothing of his private ownership of SpaceX, probably also worth a decent chunk.
Hey, yup, definitely. It should be very similar to the Cordova integration.

Technical debt is a metaphor that's easy to understand for everybody but it could be the wrong one especially when talking to business people. Try unhedged call options instead as explained in https://www.castsoftware.com/blog/bad-code-isnt-technical-de...

That introduces the concept of risk and of very bad consequences. That should be easy to understand for them. On the other side, does the average person know what's a call option? And an unhedged one?

The internet is global. Idiosyncratic copyright laws tend to just get ignored. It’s illegal (in France) to post a photo of the Eiffel Tower at night, but if you search “Eiffel tower at night” on Google images, you will find plenty of examples. EU database rights are a similarly toothless concept and are just ignored most of the time.

I want it to be never. Controversial opinion: as long as those who use "security" to oppress us have the upper hand, code written in "unsafe languages" will always leave a path to freedom from the authoritarian dystopia of corporations and governments who will seek to increase their control over our lives. We've already seen the battle start at DRM, jailbreaking/rooting, etc. IMHO the periodic but not-too-often occurrence of vulnerabilities like this, just like a nonzero amount of (cyber)crime, is a justifiable cost that we must continue to tolerate and pay for the sake of our freedom.
This was never about that.

Except very few fringe people (and progressives towards black people leaving the plantation) nobody wants to use or see racial slurs on social media. That shit doesn't even fly on Zerohedge and most are absolutely fine with that.

What we want is to be able to say "okay dude" and "only women can get pregnant" without being banned.
I think it's not exactly fair to compare Twitter with his other endeavours. Others are very hard problems. What Musk will do with twitter is figure out an action plan: IMO changing twitter into X will be a viable way of letting it survive. He's gonna chart a course of action that could work and give the reins to someone else for execution.

Musk's time is valuable given that he's leading a lot of companies. He's not going to sit around and mull over twitter. The best thing he can do is spend time => chart a plan => hire a capable CEO who is best at execution (Tim Cook for instance). If he spends more time on twitter, his other bets will get hurt disproportionately.
In theory, you would create an IPNS entry for the root of wikipedia, then update that on each change. Wikipedia is a relatively static data set, so on a day probably much less than 1% gets changed.

So the new wikipedia tree reuses the vast majority of the previous version.
Is all mocking fair game? I mean, I hard agree with you, but I think there are things that are gauche or hurtful to mock. Like, I think Obama was a bad president and there are plenty of mock worthy things there, but depicting him and Michelle as apes is beyond the pale for me. Mock his policies, mock his affect, mock his social behaviors in other countries, hell, mock his tan suit. But to bust out racist memes? I dunno... I think that sucks.
