My point being that there is a natural urge to defend your profession regardless of whether you are being paid for it.

There need not be a cabal. The officials can easily see that there are too many Asians for this year so the just bin some of the applicants. Just the same way they did it for the Jews. The most parsimonious analysis of the data leads to this conclusion.

Of course as you say, maybe studying too much for tests does somehow decrease the "likability, courage, kindness" in a way that does not affect an actual face to face interview with an alumni (!!) . Or maybe the Asian race is inherently unlikable, in a way that does not affect an actual face to face interview with an alumni. One can come up with so many different explanations

I mean how much more ridiculous can Harvard's defense get, really?
> A programmer can read available but not oss licensed code and learn from it. Thats fair use. If a machine does it

Quite sure the issue at hand is about the code being copied verbatim without the license terms, not "learning" from it.
I don't disagree -- I dislike dubs, always. Subtitles for the win! -- but do you see my point?

Let me state it outright: I believe you're a native English speaker, likely from the US, and you believe "foreign" means "not made in America". Am I wrong? The point is: Netflix caters to a global audience. Korean shows aren't foreign to Netflix's Korean audience. So it's very unlikely that there's a constant 10% "foreign dubbed garbage" for any given spectator.

Also, I may be wrong, but every Netflix show I've seen is available in its original language (plus some additional dub options, of course). So you never need to watch the "garbage dub".
Maybe its time for Creative Commons License to address this. I'm curious if No-Derivative would already prohibit this? Does the ND language need tweaking? Or do they need a whole new clause.

Edit: I guess they do address it in their faq and I'd summarize it "Depends if copyright law applies and depends if it's considered derivative".

This is a good post.

I'm one of those who likes to bring out the "fire in a theater" or doxxing as the counterexample to disprove literally nobody is a free speech absolutist. This on top of it not being a 1A issue anyway because the first five words are "Congress shall pass no law".

But spam is a better way to approach this and show it really isn't a content problem but a user behaviour problem. Because that's really it.

Another way to put this is that the total experience matters, meaning the experience of all users: content creators, lurkers and advertisers. Someone could go into an AA meeting and not shut up about scientology or coal power and you'll get kicked out. Not because your free speech is being violated but because you're annoying and you're worsening the experience of everyone else you come in contact with.

Let me put it another way: just because you have a "right" to say something doesn't mean other people should be forced to hear it. That platform has a greater responsibility that your personal interests and that's about behaviour (as the article notes), not content.

As this thread notes, this is results-oriented.
Do you intend to migrate to backfill r2 and make it primary/sole object store?
Very interesting. I like analyses that go beyond traditional thinking. A bit more of rigour would help.
Why should the goals of the project funder have any bearing on the goals of participants in the project?
He says there is no principled reason to ban spam, but there's an obvious one, it isn't really speech. The same goes for someone who posts the same opinion everywhere with no sense of contextual relevance. That's not real speech, it's just posting.
And it's funny because if you could "downvote/upvote" individual tweets in that tweet storm, his "off topic" tweets would be downvoted into oblivion.

I think the fundamental problem with the internet today is that by definition almost, ads are unwanted content and have to be forced on the user.

Depends on how much I liked the job and if there was any hope of being paid what I'm paying now.

I can think of three jobs I would happily go back to if they paid what I get paid now (and the companies still existed). One game dev company, one game publisher, and one retail job, where I mostly chatted with other employees, stocked and cleaned up shelves, and helped about a 1-2 dozen customers a night.

My current job I might be willing to come back to at some point if I left it. It has some warts, but it's been pretty good overall.

Other past jobs, not unless they paid 50-100% more than I'm making now. Nothing against them necessarily, but I wouldn't want to have that job again.
Is this because there is no clawbacks or something of that nature?
It doesn't differ by much, here's an example of let-else replacing if-let: https://github.com/serprex/NULL/commit/9ab765c5089ce1f0e32ce...

In another codebase I had something like

let msg = if let Ok(msg) = ... { msg } else { continue };

becoming

let Ok(msg) = ... else { continue };
$20 -> $8 -> $5

I don't think the price point was a major issue. It's the idea of paying a company when you produce the content that doesn't seem right to some some folks.

You're still being tracked and targeted. You're still the product, but now you're paying for some small privileges. No doubt many power users will do it, but I'm skeptical if it will move the needle on their revenue.
TAOBench: A Deep Dive into Meta’s Social Network Workload
I started taking photography serious about a year ago, and as I struggle with the last part, I tend to overdo 1.
Additionally, as I do Deep Astro and Night Photography, I upgraded for better Low Light Performance as a lot of pictures just turned out barely okay due to camera limitations.
However, I got some nice Aurora shots already, so I am quite happy with that.
And wow, Between Olympia and Capitol Hill/Broadway in Seattle in those days it was Sex and Candy indeed.
How do they prevent you from selling on the secondary market? Would love to see that clause on their options agreement. Most companies have first right of refusal which gives them the option to buy them first.
I don't have a comment on this personally but I want to throw this out there because every time I see people criticizing Copilot or Dall-E someone always says "BUT ITS FAIR USE! Those people don't seem to grasp that "Fair Use" is a defense. The burden is not on me to prove what you are doing is not fair use; the burden is on you to prove what you are doing is fair use
Yeah, but it's a Lisp-1. Goats are the only animals that can understand a separate function namespace, aside from some humans.
Red Cross seeks ‘digital emblem’ to protect against hacking
What yishan is missing is that the point of a council of experts isn't to effectively moderate a product. The purpose is to deflect blame from the company.

It's also hilarious that he says "you canʻt solve it by making them anonymous" because a horde of anonymous mods is precisely how subreddits are moderated.
Kate Manne, in Down Girl, writes about the problems with using intent as the basis for measuring misogyny. Intent is almost always internal; if we focus on something internal, we can rarely positively identify it. The only real way to identify it is capturing external expressions of intent: manifestos, public statements, postings, and sometimes things that were said to others.

If you instead focus on external effects, you can start to enforce policies. It doesn't matter about a person's intent if their words and actions disproportionately impact women. The same goes for many -isms and prejudice-based issues.

A moderator who understands this will almost certainly be more effective than one who gets mired in back-and-forths about intent.

LOL we look like taxi drivers fighting Uber.

If Kasparov uses chess programs to be better at chess maybe we can use copilot to be better developers?

Also, anyone, either a person or a machine, is welcome to learn from the code I wrote, actually that is how I learnt how to code, so why would I stop others from doing the same?.
That was the biggest joke of all!

So far ...
> This week I'll be going through the various Rust projects I maintain at work, seeing if there's useful places for let-else.

If you want help from automation, you can wait a few days until the manual_let_else clippy lint arrives on nightly. It's going to be one of the pedantic lints, and recognizes some obvious places where let else would make sense (not all but many). It should arrive in one week-ish, depending on when the next clippy update is in nightly.
Do the moves that got you to the dance please.
Hey, author here :)

Requirements changing are a reality. In safety critical fields, these changes are noticed by using traceability tools.

I haven't written this far yet: but you should have a process for changing things like system requirements. It should be discussed, reviewed, and approved by the relevant teams. The "downstream" documents, like software or hardware reqs, should be updated as well.

Hard to fit all the details in a single summary, but happy to answer questions
Yes, and? I honestly can't tell what you're getting at here.
Interesting. I've never really wanted on boot on ZFS, and I definitely don't see the point if I'd need a dedicated pool for it.
To me one important aspect is the existence of adversarially attacks on neural networks.
They essentially prove that the neural network never "understood" its data. It hasn't found some general categories which correspond somewhat to human categories.

Human brains can be tricked too, but never this way and never beyond our capacities for rational thought.
I got something a bit different from the other person who responded to you.

Knowingly downloading copyrighted material, say to get it for free, still violates the rights of the copyright holders. It's just that litigating against members of the public is bad PR and not exactly lucrative, especially when it's likely that kids downloaded the content.

People used to get busted from buying bootleg VHS and DVDs on the street before P2P filesharing was a common thing. Then, early on, people were sued for downloading copyrighted files before rightsholders decided to take a different legal strategy to go after sharers and bootleggers.
Trucks have shit efficiency in part because of retarded federal standards like CAFE which make it effectively illegal to sell a compact efficient truck and partially because competition was killed by the chicken tax.

You can buy a 25 year old import control exempt tiny truck from Japan without issue in the US; If you want efficient truck you basically have to wait for it to age 25 years so it will be legal to import it into the US.
Great project! Well done boys, that’s a true hacker spirit
The web run on Linux like most FANG servers do, so it makes sense with the $$$ / people / R&D that this OS is faster. A conservative number would be that 99.9% of the web runs on Linux and it's probably much higher.

At the scale of Google / MS / Amazon / Apple if servers would run faster of BSD* they would use it. We're talking about 10's millions of servers here.

Copyright laws aren't preventing you from learning cinematography by watching said Disney movies though, and using all their techniques for your own project.

OpenAI did a dirty job though judging by the cases of the model just reproducing code to the comment, so I can understand why one would criticize this specific project.
I would put it this way.

One could see life as a game to preserve your body and maximize your social status and to play that game you have to activate (the fancy word is cathect) an image of yourself and how you relate to other people.

Ecstasy (from the Latin ex statis) is the experience of ‘losing yourself’, that is that image is deactivated and you are experiencing something without considering how it affects your utility function or what others think of you.

Any ‘obsession’ involves some element of an interest not being good for you. For instance, I could take pleasure in staying in bed all weekend and watching anime but that’s not the best use of my time and won’t impress anybody except a North American weeaboo.

Following your own ‘self-interest’ has its own problems such as you don’t really know where your choices will lead you in the next 50 years, a great risk of winding up like Narcissus from the Greek myth, etc. A little bit of ecstasy can release you from that.

I think of a time when I was one of 2 students who solved a hard homework problem over Thanksgiving weekend when I had a bad cold, my motivations were some combination of wanting to get a good grade, wanting to prove myself to be really smart, and a passion for the subject. Ecstatic interests can be very good for you in the long run, particularly if they align with other motivations, but they really do involve a certain forgetting of the self.
> there was a big uproar (rightly so) when Mozilla cut a lot of stuff that wasn't directly related to Firefox, such as MDN web docs or the experimental Servo browser engine.

MDN is a documentation site for the technologies supported by Firefox. Servo is a browser engine that's been used as a development target for efforts to rewrite major components of Firefox. These are both directly related to Firefox, as were other things that were cut.

From my vantage I don't recall the outrage whether things being cut were / weren't related to Firefox, but rather that major cuts were being made at the bottom (to features / programmes / staff) while Mozilla management were exorbitantly remunerated and receiving large bonuses/raises at the same time. Despite the severe decline in Firefox seen under their tenure.
why do you think nobody else has tried this / had any success with this approach?
In fact, I was bitten once by corruption because the _unmount_ operation was interrupted mid-write. Not that surprising considering it's a much less tested scenario on fs code.
I feel most decent engineers can get rehired elsewhere with 14 weeks of runway. I do agree this is generous af.

Most companies just give out minimum severance. No acceleration of vesting. Healthcare continues for maybe 1-2 months. I know at my current company, I will lose all PTO.
This. I've seen so many class action lass suits where at the end of the day the highest gain per Capita always ends up going to the lawyers. Fuck this guy and everyone trying to make money from this.
Is your suggestion that they modify their standard email signature when sending a requested message to someone they have already terminated in another way?
They will defiantly unify this stuff more over time.
You definately made it simple! I recall the very first time I tried learning then in D (was trying to understand the `to!` from `std.conv` and it seemed simple enough).

The syntax for inferring a type for function calk arguments is nifty too.

Lastly, today I finally understand what mixins are , I just read some stdlib file somewhere and thought, wow that's rather useful. I definately think I will be making use of mixins sometime soon, been working on a small compiler in D itself and there are times were duplication (or perhaps inclusion is a better word) of code would be nice in such a manner.
Yeah, the other one I found much more persuasive. The extra comments were unequivocally reproduced from the claimed source. (although that output was from Codex, rather than Copilot).
How did we manage to live thousands of years without. I guess we had names.
Signal is not saying this, as evidenced by the cofounder saying that this is all a misunderstanding and that they're working to undo what's been done.
Yes, clearly they do hate the communist regime. My point is that the blockade hurts their relatives back in Cuba. And it also hasn't been effective in eliminating the Castro regime. Time to try a different tack.

> There was no real benefit to making a declaration here via a rust release

Some people do think human solidarity, outside of stereotypically 'political' contexts, is a benefit in itself. I know many Iranians (accident of history - my mother adopted 2 Iranian refugees when I was in my teens). I showed this to one friend, who heard last week a 20 year old nephew of hers had been gunned down by the IRGC. She burst into tears and hugged me and told me how much this kind of expression kept hope alive.

Politics is physical reality, which tends to mug those who prefer to look away. If it mugs you merely via a sentence you prefer not to read, rather than a bullet or hammer, I suspect you can probably cope.
> abnormally high contribution of profits to price growth

Isn't this basically saying that corporations have jacked up prices all at once, just to gouge consumers?

If so, why not say it that way?

What's the difference between "contribution of profit to price growth" and "rip-off"?
Or just an osmotic effect.
Hourly data collection for science like stream gages, earthquakes, air quality, precipitation, or similar in very remote areas.

Yep, same. Not in JS, but in Haskell, for the Even Fib project Euler problem. Something like a million people have submitted right answers for that problem and assuming half wrote their own filter rather than importing a isEven library then that's half a million people there.

You use inexperienced and/or cheap programmers to build the foundation of your company. Then you bring in experienced folks to keep the barely-functional ball of mud shambling along for the next 10 years.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane...I had a Surface RT in 2012 and it was a turd. Terrible performance and way too locked down to be useful.
Throwing in the "restaurant" part for a grocery product makes this logic hard to follow. That and the misspelling makes whatever joke you're doing completely incomprehensible to me.
In the past this cost even more.
I dont think that's comparable. For starters, its not just the length of a quote that makes it fair use, but the way quotes are used i.e. to engage in commentary.
IANAL, and I'm no fan of copilot, but I wonder if this kind of clause (your #3) is going to fly: you're preemptively prohibiting certain kinds of reading of the code (when code is read by the ML model in training). But is that something a license can actually do?

The legal footing that copyright gives you, on which licensing rests, certainly empowers you to limit things about how others may redistribute your work (and things derived from it), but does it empower you to limit how others may read your work? As a ridiculous example, I don't think it would be enforceable to have a license say "this code can't be used by left-handed people", since that's not what copyright is about, right?
Did Microsoft use the source code of Windows (in whole or in part) as training input to Copilot?
It doesn't make sense. If I make a piece of software that curls a random gist and then puts it into your editor am I infringing or are you infringing when you run it or are you infringing when you use that file and distribute it somewhere?
I'm continuing to write on my cohost page! I haven't answered this yet, but plan to in the future. Also happy to take any direct questions here, or by email (it's in my profile)
If the GPL can defeat Copilot, we need an more permissive MIT/BSD-style license to do the same.
Checkbox ticked. Done. Next thing in the list.
What you are calling evidence is useless. You may believe you are taking the bias into consideration, but you can't actually know if you are or aren't. Your whole bit is the non-starter.

But my "counter-evidence" would simply be me saying "Well, I don't see that". To which you would respond that it was actually I who wasn't being observant. When there is no real way to determine that. And that discussion itself is intellectually bankrupt.

My pointing out that your recollection of casual observations and your self-assessment of how well you "took the bias into consideration" is debate. I'm questioning the source of your statistics.

Because even in this study, it's from 120 people. Total. Who self-reported they had never had artificial sweeteners.

And the other obvious thing is that you are also free to ignore my opinions. I like to mention when someone is offering biased anecdotes in place of substantive discussion. In case it resonates.
