It's not really about Netflix. The point is merely that "just because you pay them, doesn't mean you're not also a product to them". Companies love nothing more than to charge both ends of a deal.

Take Spotify as another example. I pay them, along with 188 million other people. Does that mean they won't turn around and ask artists, record companies and rights-owning conglomerates for money (or rebates) for putting their stuff in front of me? Of course not. Paying them means they have some interest in pleasing me, but it's far from the only way.

On the off chance that Spotify was being scrupulous about not taking payola in any form, it would be impossible for me to verify. Which is in itself a reason for them to cheat; they don't get much economic benefit from goodwill if no one can actually see them being honest.

This is not a reason to not use Kagi, it's just a reminder of what forces we're up against. Kagi will need an unusual amount of transparency in everything they do, in order to stand a chance in the long term.

And it IS a reason to not get warm fuzzy feelings merely from the fact that you're paying them.
Maybe used to be like that (or maybe it's just prejudice against researchers), but from what I'm hearing it's pretty far from the truth today.

Before you get a tenured position, you're basically stuck in the publish-or-perish rat race and when you eventually get a tenure, you now have an enormous responsibility towards the younger non-tenured reseachers of your department, who will eventually lose their job if the department isn't “productive” enough, so unless you're a complete insensitive assh*le, you'll still be under pressure.
I get it, but I still don't like it. Lineage sounds to me like you try to put your data in one line, like an aliment.
Indeed it looks like we have.

It's curious how selective the people who cry "order and rules" the loudest are with which rules they consider valid and which they don't, and which rule-breaking they consider criminal disorder and which they don't.

But more importantly, this comment, and now mine too, are simply off topic and irrelevant, and deserve downvotes for that (and mine also for going personal), not actually the exposed odious political attitude, though I somehow just clairvoiantly divine that you don't believe that is the reason.
My recollection is that before subreddits were a thing, Reddit was not that far off how this place is now.
> Only a couple of years back Mastodon UX was too poor to be usable, but it has grown leaps and bounds now.

I see strong parallels between this and blender when I was active in the community around a decade ago.

Everyone nowadays takes blender seriously as a contender in that market now so keep the faith, peeps.
Social Media Protocols - Mastodon, Farcaster, and Decentralization
Very interesting - I was sort of expecting it to happen soon.

I have been playing with using Whisper + Github Copilot in Vim [0]. The Whisper text transcription runs offline with a custom C/C++ inference and I use Copilot through the copilot.nvim plugin for Neovim. The results were very satisfying.

Edit: And just in case there is interest in this, the code is available [1]. It would be very awesome if someone helps to wrap this functionality in a proper Vim plugin.

Well there is a plot in it with both axes labelled.
You seem to assume he doesn't; your comment is in bad faith.
What do you mean? What is this definition of "learning" that would exclude machine learning?
Interesting. I'm not happy with how Chrome handles fullscreen either.
You know, let them. Whatever I decide to share with the world, I do for reasons of giving back. If some grab, run and foul-mouth, that’s their issue.

The main idea of free culture is building on each other, not maximum extractive consumption. I believe the idea to be further ahead than our economic systems and accompanying incentives though.
I'm not a crypto fan, but don't you need/want things like exchanges to provide liquidity in the market? I mean, that kind of service will spring up entirely naturally due to demand for it, so how do you prevent it from just gravitating to "traditional" finance (which similarly evolved the way it did for a reason)?
Male names get better feedback than female names
Hey, do either of them have a blog? I'm interested in these lifestyles, especially the dumpster diving dude. My wife wouldn't let me squat or dumpster dive but I could always live vicariously through him.
I think so. We have technology that can create 3D models and high resolution images of faces and we have 3D printing technology. I'm 99% sure tools like this are already used in e.g. limb prosthetics - although I can imagine casts and molds are still cheaper and faster.
Sure, but if we want to highlight other languages' lack of tail call support, maybe we should showcase that support in those languages that do support it. :)
This applies to operating systems (Mac and Windows look more and more alike by the day) and I'm seeing linux distros follow suit.
If this works well, I would pay a seriously high amount of money. My daily coding time is currently limited by the pain in my hand/fingers that eventually becomes too uncomfortable, and I have to wait for a "cooldown" period of days to "reset" my hands back to normal. I can't even code on a normal keyboard or trackpad for a long time anymore.

The problem with current voice programming systems is they're just too slow so I end up getting impatient and using my fingers anyway
I don't think India is a lawless jungle as you portray it.

Indian authorities have tried to ban cryptocurrencies but have repeatedly been blocked by the courts. Whatever you think about crypto this indicates a healthy division of power and check against government overreach.
> punitive genocide being waged against them to this day

Against whom, the German people? The claim of “genocide” is not often used lightly. Do you have evidence of the systematic large-scale killings of German people occurring now?

> the Holocaust pales in comparison to what has been done to Germany

Since depravity has no formal metrics, I suppose that’s a value judgement. But it’s not one that’s shared by most people who are not themselves some brand of Nazi or Holocaust denier.

> I can only assume you have a horse in this race

There is no race except for the imaginary race fabricated by antisemites to sow doubt about the facts and causes of the Holocaust.
Parler/Rumble were very clearly designed for exactly one single topic, MAGA.

The interesting thing about Mastodon is that it has the potential to host countless single topic communities, similar to Reddit.
Can confirm. Not sure where the actual caps were but it was basically free to use for me as a teenager
This is an example of doublespeak / doublethink. The CIA has done some nasty shit, not so much for "Democracy and Freedom" as a whole, but for the United States' own goals and purposes, at the cost of others - at the cost of other countries' democracy, at the cost of other people's freedoms.
One of the requirements of the GPL is that credit is given (and indeed this is needed for enforcement to work because the GPL leverages copyright).
It would be a Field of Endeavor restriction so the resulting license wouldn't be open source, and I don't think (?) Copilot is trained on proprietary code.

(Section 6 here: https://opensource.org/osd)
There is also plenty on code on the training set that violates OSS licenses (e.g. copying code without attribution)
There might be meta-dna and libraries though in that compAny.
>In Zuckerberg's defence, if they somehow create a wearable headset with the proportions of a pair of glasses, they'll absolutely dominate.

How would they do that though? The technology to pack the VR processing power of ~4k display per eye @ 90-120 Hz, cooling, power efficiency and big enough battery plus lens technology into a regular frame of glasses that doesn't look weird, is some Sci-Fi, Iron Man level technology, that just isn't here yet and it won't be for many years to come, if not decades, considering the slow down of Moore's law, and when it will be here, it will be prohibitively expensive.

Imagine the challenges of having to cram an RTX 4090 into a pair of Raybans and being able to run for hours on the battery of a smartwatch. We're very, very far away from that, probably decades of optics, semiconductor fabrication and battery chemistry advancements are needed before this reaches consumer tech and pricing.

Once Meta goes down and takes Oculus with it, we'll probably see another VR winter, until the tech improvements reach a level that makes it desirable again.
Are Emily and Greg More Employable Than Lakisha and Jamal?
Well, I'm pretty sure I won't click "not interested" on a very attractive female content.

But jokes aside, that totally make sense since was tech content from a tech bro that I personally feel was a bit too cringe.
I have seen projects on github and not be an opensource but a source disclosed project. Certain customers expect your code to be source disclosed in order to mitigate risks. Project may not be free to use.
One of it is, in fact, a static document, basically just a very large README.md file chock full of information. It could be a book.
I used to work as a developer, but found it unrewarding and stressful. Now I work in software vulnerability research, and I genuinely enjoy every day of it.

I've always been more of an explorer than a creator, so picking apart systems to understand their internal workings, and making a living off this, is pretty much my dream job.

I still do some development, like writing tooling, and proof of concept code to demonstrate vulnerabilities, so having that skill in my back pocket really helps there too.

Getting hired was fairly straightforward, I contacted a recruiter who is very well-regarded in this niche. He sorted me out for my last few jobs. Interviews have ranged from basically a chat about previous experience, to being sat down with an assembly code listing and asked to point out any vulnerabilities present in the code.
If you have a metric, eventually it'll be gamed.
Many find the alternative bone chilling: American sovereignty, or soon perhaps Chinese, an alternative I haven't seen much enthusiasm for on HN for some reason.

Sovereignty doesn't need to mean government control, censorship, firewalls, nationally isolated networks. It can mean having alternative tools which are free of foreign influence. The implementation can take a million form, one might be the enforcement of open protocols and interoperability to counteract network effects.

I believe in the free internet (however nebulous) as much as anyone who has seen its origins and works in software, but it's clear the internet is not free anymore, we are all centralized on closed and carefully curated American platforms.
TikTok is incredibly popular in the US and there isn’t really a huge similar precedent where the US takes a page from China’s playbook and blocks a social media network completely. If banning TikTok was reasonable, and I’m not sure it is, I think it makes a lot of sense to be cautious about setting bad precedence.
The tragic thing is, by assuming that it's a cycle, an argument can be made to buy low. To hodl, even, when assuming the next cycle will be higher, right?

But why the assumption that that particular chain will keep blockin?
With reference to the 90s VR boom, the grandparent was calling out this very comment as demonstrably false, well before you had even posted it. What magic is that?!

For sale to consumer VR headsets have been available commercially for about 35 years. Is it really reasonable to call a consumer tech product category that's been around for 35 years "early" or "nascent"? Look at something like the EyePhone (yes, that was its name). How is that not the very same product category as a modern VR HMD? Of course a modern HMD is better, but not fundamentally a new category of device. This shit is ancient by tech standards. It's had almost 4 decades to evolve since its consumer debut.
No, scraping stems from a service not placing any limits on its access cannot complain that it was accessed.

With code, that is denoted via the license, which when supplied with the code and especially as metadata before downloading (as is the case with GitHub) is the common means with which those limits are placed.

Humans and neural networks process information very differently and it's disingenuous to imply otherwise.
I imagine you have done extensive research on your own, but in any case I found this article by Josh Comeau on coding with voice commands and eye tracking very interesting: https://www.joshwcomeau.com/blog/hands-free-coding/
I've touched two things - that's why they were put in separate paragraphs. Let me spell it out in different words:

1. People have certain rights, duties and prohibitions. Equating the right of George Lucas to use ideas he saw with rights of a machine to do that misses the point by the same measure as asserting that MS enslaves the copilot, but in the opposite direction.

2. Scale does matter. If I'm an ordinary person then the act of eating won't ruin the ecosystem. Now imagine a construct that operates under the same principle of eating, but its jaw, stomach and speed of eating is many magnitudes larger - do we apply same limitations to both, because the principle of eating is the same?

Also, since I'm spelling things out, the fact that I'm seeing the same argument many times over, and that it is so obviously flawed, makes me think that this is a symptom of astroturfing.

Drop the "Hey Github" nonsense (hopefully it's only for illustration purposes anyways) and … this will be a generational paradigm change in how to write code… if it works. The hard part will be editing code with your voice too. Like "no, I meant …" etc.

VERY PROMISING, in any case you can just manually fill the gaps with the keyboard!
Is the fediverse about to get Fryed?
Can a human read and learn every single line of code on github?
It's the wild west phase, after it settles down there will probably be ways to signal you don't want to allow training on your code. But I think it's just like taking your grain of sand from the beach so nobody else can have it. The beach is going to be just the same.
I think it's not just curation, Japanese people have other social sites they can use, but choose Twitter mainly for political discussion.
Not OP, but if it's helpful, I use containers for all 3rd party services I need to run for development. (e.g. Postgres, Redis, Localstack, etc). This makes it easy to onboard new developers as they just have to run `docker-compose up` and not worry about those. It also allows me to easily use different versions of those services in different projects or even branches of a project.
Back then, a Cray-1 could execute an infinite loop in 4.7 seconds.
It's not as good as on Google Maps (where google can show you most popular places based on reviews) but it's good enough for me. For example I didn't had "macdonalds" problem described by the parent comment.

Plus it's very fast app with a clean interface. 100% open-source and actively developed. I can totally recommend it.
MMS was kinda popular around here when picture phones and the first weird meme videos became popular. Pretty sure most of the time our teen prepaid contracts contained a few free mms and receiving was free with the SIM I had.
Copilot -> Pilot
My understanding of the article is that the author actually got quite a lot of benefits from having that OSS project and github stars. There's a huge difference if you're trying to promote a completely new software that no one ever heard of, and if you promote quite successful and popular OSS project like they do. Even being able to write this article as a way of pushing the new commercial version of the software is only possible thanks to that OSS project. So in the end github stars do payout, just not directly...
I bet he would if his movie scene is pixel for pixel identical to the scene he watched.
Politics, people talk too much, but nothing gets done and no one will take responsibility for it in the end.

Not sure if it's interesting to tackle. ;)
Some developers are good managers, some are bad managers.
Take a look at my service https://sumi.news — you can follow topics, individual RSS feeds, and newsletters. There’s a free version. No ads. Simple interface.

It’s bootstrapped and profitable, been running for a few years, and I keep interface churn to a minimum.
I saw the same video, and had the same thoughts. I saw a comment mentioning flashing the Emporia with ESPHOME, of which I am a great fan. What I really like about that option is you can push all the logic to the "edge" device with ease (including hosting a webserver), or just merely expose the data and use e.g
homeassistant to manage it. I'm sure you could probably also have it post the data directly to clickhouse if you want. All this to say esphome is really great and I love its flexibility.
Mostly yeah, but there is the whole ネトウヨ movement and also the extreme left. They hang out all over the internet.

Politics is not all encompassing in the UK either, it's mainly an American thing imo.
Came here to say this. I switched to RSS about year ago and it's given me much more control over my aggregation. Unfortunately, some websites don't have RSS anymore, but I still find the switch worth it.

Some tools (like Kill the Newsletter) also turn newsletters into RSS feeds so you can add them to your aggregation, with the added benefit of them not actually having your email.
From a pure language perspective, not taking into account infrastructure and implementation, Vlang is currently my favorite language. It has pretty much the syntax and semantics I want in a statically compiled, strongly typed language. However, there are still too many features of the current implementations that are in reality not yet implemented or too experimental. It's still not ready for production and larger projects.

I'd say the languages you mention are substitutes according to the following mapping:

C++ => D
Python => Nim
C => Zig
Go => V
While I agree that human artists will always find their way to fashion, you also have to consider that ten years ago there were a lot of people looking for good-enough concept art. Good enough just won't make it anymore.
> this will be a generational paradigm change in how to write code… if it works

Why?
I like how to art styles seems to be a bit more rough, more provincial. These are not made by the top artists of Greece or Rome. A wonderful find indeed! This also brings to life the stories in Livy’s Book “Ab Urba Condita”
You won't notice if you don't use all/popular or frequent extremely large subs.

This is the slippery slope argument. It's not inconsistent to allow human "webscraping" while disallowing massive machine web scraping. Most important, it's about what the owner of the website considers to be appropriate.

A neural network is closer to a database than a human brain. So this is akin to saying: I can store your personal data in my human brain (without your consent), why am I not allowed to do it in PostgreSQL?
Yes, however humans making mistakes knowingly or unknowingly doesn't make what Copilot does right.

We just talked this with a couple of friends. I always cite what I got from where (it's just two occasions, but it's not zero), and always respect their licenses.

I'm worried about both ways of the permeation: GPL to closed and closed to open. Open source is a widely misunderstood concept and people (and companies) are using that misunderstanding to validate their blanket options. That's wrong on so many (legal to ethical, and everything in between) levels.

Emulator writers are afraid to read leaked console code, because any resemblance of their code to it means destruction of years (or decades) of reverse engineering and clean room development done in that domain. If code licensing is that important and crucial, why a court tested license (e.g. GPL) is so worthless? Is this fair, again in the same cross-section (legal to ethical)?

There's a lot to be discussed, and a lot of ideas to be re-learnt here. Open Source (or precisely Free / Copylefted software) doesn't mean free for all. We need to understand that.
author is an iOS dev ...
People with clearances also have huge incentives to lie to themselves about the decency of what they're doing. One of the main thing secrecy protects, is such people's morale.

You know what they say, "if they cheat with you, they cheat on you too". A liar is a liar. If your job involves seeking people's trust in order to betray it, you're not very smart if you think your boss wouldn't betray you.
You could also imagine different Copilot models, eg Copilot-GPL, Copilot-MIT etc. Each would be trained only on GPL or MIT code from github. Then which model gets used depends on the license of the file being written at the time.

I don't know how you can possibly believe that. Not only are they (or inspired-by-them products) almost ubiquitous in many areas, people love them and rave about them.

The Airpods (or at least, that product category) are probably the single greatest new product I've used in the last 10 years. And I use a lot of products. They have given me always-available access to audio, easily, whenever I want.
I'm not going to have an epistemological debate on what is knowledge or skill. Humans are more lossy and able to bring in much more varied knowledge and experience in ways a computer cannot.

Ai/ml is not artificial general intelligence. It's a mathematical model.
