Copilot used (for training) copyrighted code without respecting the license and can generate pieces of copyrighted code verbatim without respecting the original license as well.

> let's write programs that are functional enough that we don't need to write configuration files that are mini-programs

...or procedural programs while we are at it.

I don't disagree with your argument, but the definition can be extended in this use case. If we assume the "configuration" of the software is the target destination. What you can configure imperatively perhaps is in contrast to that what roads to take or not and I believe the term fits reasonably well without it losing precision.

It sounds like FTX wasn't unfortunate but fraudulent. The business model of running an exchange is pretty solid, and reasonably risk-free financially. Crypto exchanges could be hacked, there are technology risks, counterparty risks against individual traders etc. but in general an exchange takes very little financial risk. Exchanges merely facilitate the shuffling if money and assets between people, risk-free for them (mostly). Same as bookmakers, who mostly match off people betting on opposite sides.

In the bookmaker analogy, it sounds like FTX took the betted cash and spunked it away to prop up Alameda. Nominally this was a loan backed by the FTT token, but at best this was a risky asset, and FTX could no longer promise they can pay out all the bettors - because FTT could, and did, drop in value.

Note that at no point during the various crises of past 15 years has any fiat exchange been under financial pressure. Banks, funds and insurers, yes, but they take outright financial risks. But not a single exchange.
My very loose understanding is that the effectiveness of the "Not interested" button is somehow inversely proportional to the strength of the correlation that TikTok uses for that particular suggestion.

As the obvious example, if you are a male, you might only need to click "not interested" once or twice to stop seeing e.g. skateboarding or woodworking content, but many, many times to stop seeing content from attractive females.
No. You would need more mug punters / dumb money to drive the price up. Events of the last few days will likely have scared them away, for now.

"This cycle" is just code for "this batch of the gullible". Many of those "innovators" (and their fans) of the last decade are about to find out that they haven't reinvented the parts of human nature associated with fear, greed, and hubris.

Yup looks similar to the one I had. I bought it at Car Toys because there weren't even T-Mobile stores yet. It took like 2 hours to transfer my number from another carrier (a new ability at the time!) and activate the account - what a process!

I remember the keypad was kinda small for my giant hands, but it would connect via this thing called "Bluetooth" to my Mac. Every time you got a text, it would show up on my Mac's screen, and I could reply just using my keyboard instead of typing out something using T9 on the phone itself. Soooo much faster. Somehow the ability to do that was disabled or something, I dunno.

I hadn't felt that sort of magical integration again until I realized you can copy and paste between a Mac and an iPhone you had on the same Apple ID (or however it works, I totally forget the details) so long as Bluetooth is enabled on both. Such magic and solved so many tiny little problems. I missed years of Airdropping as my last Macbook just couldn't work with Airdrop and I have no idea why not. Seeing Airdrop work instantly sold me on iPhones and I'll never go back to Android.

This is why so many people compare crypto to the pre-regulation banks, and why they predict a similar fate for the exchanges.

Hi! I’ve written two posts [1][2] about data lineage and I wanted to ask if you folks use data lineage in your projects? How do you keep track of data flows across multiple systems?

I’d rather wait until a project is finished, than to push incomplete changes that (I hope) aren’t reachable.

But a long-lived branch needs to be rebased before review, because conflict resolutions need to be reviewed. In fact reviewing the version without the conflict resolutions is a waste of time, because that version probably won’t ever be deployed.
> You have a point. On the other hand, considerable part of maintainers burnout comes from arguing with well-meaning strangers that come with PRs that are (usually) useful, but don't fit the established codebase well. By only accepting PRs from members of a collective, the amount of drama is reduced.

They were explicitly talking about PR for a bug, not unwanted feature.

Yeah, sure, there is occasionally low quality bug fix that's problematic issue (bug should be fix but the code to fix it is garbage and nobody wants it) but I think that's rarer problem
Lol, yes on spot, but no one trades spot! The sweet leverage lays within the future market.
The idea clearly has potential but it's the execution that's lacking. In 20-30 years someone will have developed a headband or implant that allows direct sensory manipulation and VR/AR will be the next frontier. Until then, throwing money at increasingly elaborate glasses is just a waste. They should just focus on the platform and abandon the glasses for now.

I owned MMS platform for a carrier back in the day. Everything about it was janky. "Hey let's emulate SMTP commands but over HTTP and then try to track all the different models of phones to transcribe images so they can kinda sorta interopate"

Thenb you got to watch the huge queue build up every Christmas morning and New Years as the inter carrier brokers got backed up hours. All in all, not my favorite carrier app to manage.

> That’s still a small number of players dominating the market. That’s the definition of an Oligopoly, and the Disney/HBO offerings very much fall into that.

The market is “content”. Netflix competes with YouTube content producers, TikTok and it even said that one of its biggest competitors is Fortnite.

> This is probably due to the characteristic that producing goods (decent original content)

This goes back to YouTube. You and I may not think that YouTubers and TikTokkers are producing “decent original content”. But there is a generation that spends hours on both.

Besides that, there were over 550 original series being produced last year (https://collider.com/too-many-tv-shows-550-series-2021/). Competition is much fiercer for your attention than it was when you only had the three major networks producing content and everyone else buying rights to show reruns.

There are bidding wars between all of the streaming services for new content from producers. Competition is more fierce than ever.

The price of streaming before was never sustainable. Netflix was borrowing billions a year for years to produce and obtain content. Disney+ was never going to be profitable selling its service at the introductory price. It’s not “collusion”. Every company has to turn a profit eventually.

Yes I realize that Netflix was “profitable” by GAAP standards. But it was getting deeper in debt every year.

At least considering open source, I love the fact that not much money is involved because I feel that whenever money is involved, people start to serve money instead of users, meaning they might make decisions to maximize the money instead of the usability etc.

No mention of the role and benefit of contributors to your open source project? I would have thought that is the main benefit: many hands make light work. Cathedral and the bazaar etc.

In the case of this chap sounds like it never got to that point, he was doing all the work. Seems like his impression of open source is a trade where you have a developer who displays his wares and offers them for free, and praise and donations roll in. Rather than a powerful operating model allowing software to develop that you could never hope to develop alone. Time/effort ratio is much reduced for everyone involved.

Question its viability by all means. It's a progressive and generous idea. Sad that it's not even considered in the article.

I have done exactly this, after being fed up with GitHub. Surprising no one, if you set out to build the “social media but for code”, that’s what you get.

I’m using a combination of cgit, Gitolite and Nginx. Once set up, it’s easy to use and rock solid. Gitolite configures through a Git repository. I’m not going back.

About 14 days ago, on a post about Gitea incorporating, I shared my writeup of the install in case you’re interested: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33341191

Regarding your GitHub account, I suggest to simply replace the content you moved with a notice to the new URL and then archiving the repo, making interaction impossible. Even if you’re looking at deleting everything, maybe keep the account itself around, it’s free and you may need it later.
I remember a time where wearing earbuds or headphones was sorta stupid. Nowadays everybody does.
If it was JPG or PNG, you could not select the text, embed links, or reuse parts of the page. And nobody could copy the source code to make the web a better place.

When someone says that SVG is just a big image — well, that is not always the case.

We have gone to great lengths to preserve text as text, to preserve images as images, and to use regular links.

That is why we require Adobe Illustrator — it's the only SVG-capable editor that allows for real text and images.

If you look at the source for a Svija page, it's a mess — but it does look like web page source.
Typical. Some people always complain about Google search results nowadays but I very rarely see actual bad examples.
> As a worker my metric is first and foremost about the worker.

I can't extract any meaning from this. Could you be more specific?

Maybe a scenario will help. What if the company becomes not profitable enough (there can be reason's that don't require leadership fault), and it will fail unless workers are let go? Do you let it fail, causing all to lose their jobs, or do you trim the fat, allowing some to continue?

I would assume you would want to look at the whole, more than the individual.

Please note the above happened to a company I worked for, during the last recession, and it was, very objectively, not the fault of the leadership.

That's the problem, though. Crypto has wild gains because it's an unregulated wild west. And for the same reason it's full of pyramid schemes etc. As soon as you regulate, you fix the problems but head to centralisation and it becomes a boring service without big profits.

Depends on where the bar is set but as long as "A PR that fixes actual bug with nicely written code" passes I think that model is entirely fine (especially in modern era when it can bet mangled thru test suite via CI and merging it is near-zero effort for maintainer).

> “the top tier of engineers that are 10x more productive than the average”

10x engineers are not 10x the average, they're 10x the median. And they probably know the difference.

I would guess that 1-5% of engineers are 10x the median, while less than 0.1% or so are 10x the average.

I modified the animation so it starts much more quickly.

If I made them instantaneous, then a quick click would be enough but it wouldn't really be an animation — it would just be a state change.

If I made the animation start with a click, then I'd have to have a reset button.

This seemed like a good compromise, although it's true that a few people were confused.

Exactly this; TikTok has careful moderation and curation within specific styles and a (relative simple) algorithm to quickly figure what the user is interested in. Plus a lot less advertisement.

That is their "innovation"; and is also something that is hard for YouTube and Instagram to copy as it would mean they would have to spend more and monetize less.
The latest Gundam series (Witch from Mercury) that borrows heavily from Revolutionary Girl Utena is rather new and interesting take on the franchise, while keeping its signature bleskness and being pretty funny at the same time.
So why in your opinion Microsoft did not had the courage to also train copilot on proprietary code or on their own proprietary code? Because from my perspective I conclude that MS knows that things are not as simple so they did not want to "upset" some companies while they can afford to screw over the open source people.

Btw I would have been behind MS if they have done one of this 2

1 use all code they have access , including MS code and including private code in GitHub because that would show they actually belive that the AI works as advertised

2 make the model open , let people use it locally, improve it, test it for copyright issues, do whatever they want

Mick Gordon Claims He Was Not Responsible for the Doom Eternal OST Fiasco
If we agree the principle can't be applied - why would we consider it sound? That's like saying the principle behind 1 + 1 = 3 is sound, with the small caveat that you get the wrong answers. If something looks good on paper and turns sour when we try to use it, that's the indication that we've miscalculated.

Another perspective to consider; the best way to help people in the future is to help people today. Solving the challenges of our time is an investment that will compound into the distant future. Speculating on what life could be like in a hundred or a thousand years, and tailoring your efforts to that imagined future, is much like creating a product without a customer in mind. If you end up with something useful, it's almost certainly on accident and not because your speculation was accurate.

Super early, or... such systems tend to centralisation.

There are very few successfully distributed systems I can think of. Bittorrent is on. I guess we could argue some markets in the economic sense are distributed. But in reality even both of those are part-centralised.

Just turns out centralisation is usually more efficient and more convenient.
I do check the LICENSE and CONTRIBUTING files before I contribute. It is likely that I would have not contributed to such a project in the first place. It doesn't change my point, namely that a project where I cannot contribute fixes for bugs I encounter is one that I have no desire to use.

BTW, the reason I mention sending PRs for bugs I encounter is that, when I do encounter a bug I don't immediately file a GH issue and make it the maintainers' problem. Instead I act upon it just like the maintainer would, by checking the source to figure out why the bug is happening, `git blame` etc to see what commit added that code, whether the issue I'm encountering was already identified or discussed when that code was committed, and so on. So as a result of doing these things I often end up either knowing my issue is by design and that I was doing something wrong, or end up having enough knowledge to be able to construct a bugfix myself.

Until recently I liked ZOHO. For the charity that I worked for, we built our website around ZOHO. They made us buy 7 licenses at the regular price, and that was a pretty tough arrangement for us.
