I wish closing things as "this is a duplicate" essentially required disclosure of the original (dupe) report.

It may well be that it's a dupe, or it may be something that looks similar but not actually the same. And indeed as in this case it's only the follow up report that got the bug fixed.

In this case it seems that contacts at google allowed them to escalate anyway and get it fixed.

But so often and especially with other programs almost everything gets closed as "dupe" which is just dispiriting.

In any case, if something this serious is a duplicate then there's the suspicion it went unfixed for long enough to be independently discovered and reported which is worrying.

I was more talking about the general morality issue than the specifics of the case.

Why wouldn't they? They are both large important codebases which they can do whatever they like with. If they are confident that Copilot does is akin to learning or at least something transformative then it makes perfect sense.
And you thought open plan offices were bad already!
Sublicensing can only create additional restrictions on top of the existing conditions inside the license. All open source licenses require at minimum that distribution provides attribution and the original copyright notice. License like GPL has additional conditions.

There is also additional problems specific to sublicenses. In the United States, only exclusive licensees are assumed by statute to have a right to sublicense. The theory is that licensees of exclusive licensees are assumed to have the control/authority similar to that of the author. Nonexclusive licensees are not assumed to be granted such a monopoly by the licensor.

It offers IMAP and POP, which the Zoho free plan dropped some time back.

Their inbound spam filtering may also be better, given that they have more volume than Zoho to train on.
Will we become like horses did over this century. Horses did a lot of the work and millions of them were needed.

Now we keep horses cos they are nice and fun to have, but we don't need millions of them.

Why would an AI need billions of people? I wonder what society will look like in 100 years time.

Also, AI cures aging.
You're both right. The market cap doesn't represent the amount of capital in crypto, e.g. liquidation value, investment capital, etc. The systems have always been relatively shallow in volume, with lots of trades being washes and speculation. In fact, wash trades are like the most commonly offered explanation of crypto's value. (Poor farmer in Afghanistan buys crypto to move money to his summer home in Venezuela and cashes out there.)

I’m afraid I have to stop here.
And this is a good thing. Apps don't need to be unique or special, they just need to work and do their jobs effectively.

Overstyling just introduces cognitive load and makes it hard to figure how to get things done, especially when designers feel the need to reinvent basic navigation flows and deviate from the boring established practices.

IMO as an industry we should fight back on the user's behalf against needless styling in the name of branding or design or whatever. Nobody cares. Nobody.
Staying in academia is a decent idea (I'm not sure if this is different in Europe vs the US). Lots of parents I know at my kid's school work part time for universities due to the same requirements around schedule flexibility.

Working as a freelancer is a decent idea as well, due to the autonomy you'll retain, but the amount of time you'll spend on the business aspects of it could be substantial.
The application getting more complex and developers not stepping up in terms of skills/knowledge.
A few weeks ago, people would have said this was an attempt to get people to quit instead of laying them off.

We know that's not what it is, so apparently Musk genuinely doesn't believe in remote work.

I'm very curious who will stay at Twitter and why.
Similar to the formula Bezos is using. They are both making a lot of money doing it, just like the robber barons of the Gilded Age did.

(it could as well be, but why do you think so?)

As a more simple problem space, building programs from UML charts was one of Java's promise, and it failed miserably, not because the technology was lacking, but because it's just a damn hard problem.

As of now ee have nothing approaching "non technical people to be able to instantly create things" if the "things" you want are useful in any way.

And the fact that Twitter employees aren't all near an office. If you live in Minneapolis, you're not exactly going to be happy that you have to go into the office (closest one is 6+ hours away in Chicago). It's not even a choice to go into the office or not at that point - it's an ultimatum of move immediately for a job where everything is on fire or be fired!
It sounds like your PhD mentor is one of the lucky ones. My understanding is that academia used to be like that, but it is unusual to get away with such a light teaching load these days. Academics also tend to get loaded up with other bureaucratic "service" tasks that heavily take away from the available research time. Finally, getting the job in the first place is next to impossible (though that might start to change as the people who have been holding the positions for decades are literally starting to die).
Another happy Owl user here.

One thing that I actually like about Owl being paid (very inexpensive as it is) is that I trust it will be updated RIGHT NOW if Office 365 changes their non-API. As a business with paying customers, I expect that they are on top of these things.

Social unrest in the global south with deep repercussions on the relation between developed and developing countries.

In the next 25 years, it is likely that many jobs currently held by human beings will be replaced by AI. This shift will predominantly affect workers in fields such as production and lower-level white-collar jobs. Although this change will also create new opportunities for employment, less developed countries are unlikely to benefit from these as much as more advanced economies.

The majority of positions that will be taken over by AI are typically found in sectors such as manufacturing, IT, and customer service - all of which are prevalent in underdeveloped nations.
I was about to post the same thing, this essentially is nimbyism and exclusivity. It's even worse as you say because unlike twitter, you can easily set up a private server and you never have to interact with the unwashed hordes again.
> American politics has basically become common conversation in Australia in the last 6 years […]

Noobs. We Canadians have been at it probably since before Confederation (1867).

One reason is that it's probably good for ratings: drama, heroes, villains, etc. Who needs West Wing (or Veep) when you can watch the real thing instead?
I've no irons in the fire here but it seems to me Elon sees the 'factory & cattle' model of business as preferred over other arrangements - that in software development doesn't necessarily hold.

There are many extremely successful software development companies - often free/libre open-source software based - where remote working is almost 100% and those people are engaged, self-motivated, and probably better contributors as a result (not least due to a self-defined work-life-family balance).

They aren't really mutually exclusive. I work a day job and create open source.
This is presented as if this is sage advice that no one has heard before rather than tired cliches that only work in specific circumstances.

Maybe I'm just jaded. I cant count the times I've been handed projects where worked 'incrementally' meaning the original team mistook that for use all the time and budget yet not deliver the product. Or the times I've been handed projects where everything from the language to the os had changed without changing the timeline.

Absolutely only one one change at a time if you can. The real value comes in being able to take a situation with multiple changes and still make it work.
Creating a Commonplace Book [pdf]
I do think that money has been extremely corrosive to Internet culture, but it has also been a huge motivator.

It’s kind of like, in the Nineteenth Century, large parts of the world were still unexplored, so authors like H. Rider Haggard and Arthur Conan Doyle, could write books like King Solomon’s Mines, or The Lost World, and people could sort of believe “it could happen.”

These days, we know our world much better. We can call up satellite views of Base Camp, on Mt. Everest.

But we are now looking much farther for “it could happen.”
The article is talking between 8 and 37hz, iirc. General given hearing range is 20hz to 20khz. So the vlf is flirting with that range. Throwing in an aside here, inaudible might be a better word than undetectable. I was always told just because you can’t hear it doesn’t mean you can’t feel it, for both high and low end. As for why you might want to dampen inaudible low end aside from a fastidious want for control, or not wanting a build up of that feeling only for some lucky punters, you might just not want to shake a ceiling tile loose or a vibrating air duct might be annoying: there is more energy in the low end.
You're preaching to the choir, but only your favorite book, not the whole text. There is no nature of truth. Tell me what it is now, without using the word "truth", "objective", or "reality" - I can wait.

If you were to frame the statement as "One cannot argue for the subjective nature of truth, because by doing so they are positing the objectiveness of subjectivity", then I'm 100% with you. But to demonstrate that objectivity in a way that can escape the confines of your own mind? Good luck - it's a fool's errand. The most we can do is approximate reality, but that will never reveal the objective truth - just it's fuzzier-around-the-edges cousin "reasonable certainty". Enter the hard sciences.

Also, "quaternary" and "ternary" systems are no different than any other mathematical system. All the same rules apply. The only difference is when you cycle place values, and the expression of certain irrational values, which actually improves with quaternary and ternary over decimal, as they're both factors of 12 and can divide more easily than 10.
"Be careful or we end up like America" is something that comes up every time there is a discussion about healthcare.

Sending postcards could be a more apt analogy. Even if a bit outdated, still a widely familiar activity, and postcards can be copied. And they are just as open to people in between as HTTP packets are.
With YouTube premium you can listen to videos on the iPhone with the app in second plane or even with the phone locked.

Yeah, I should use a hacked rooted Android yadda yadda. But I just spent a week hacking and hawking for my life in an ICU, and I certainly didn’t want sanity-saving podcasts to shut down whilst on an hour-long stay at the breathing machine. Life is short.
There's exactly one drop everything and get it fixed ASAP bug at Google - something broke the ad platform.
Short term, a couple of things come to my mind:

Pretty soon, real ID will be needed to post / get visibility on most social media.

Productivity / efficiency gains in some white collar jobs like customer service. Fewer jobs but remaining ones will be better paid.
Voice to code into Scratch. Novice voice coder then debugs a scratch-like extremely easy to debug application.

Voice to code into Scratch, plus 20 years of hard product development effort.

I'm not saying it'll be easy or work the first time. The Apple Newton failed miserably the first time.

I'm saying touch screens still worked out amazingly well two decades later.

If we can say anything about programming today, it's that programming today with 20 years of advancements is remarkably different to 20 years ago.

I fully expect the next 20 years to be similarly fruitful.
API access is negotiated by volume, so as they grow, they can negotiate preferential pricing.
I imagine that sentiment is with the younger crowd. The fawning over FAANG seems to be a new grad/junior thing. It very much reminds me of young bragging over which Big 4/public accounting firm they were going to join, or which investment bank. The senior/experienced people know that a job is more than the name or endless swag.

This is the only real downside of Thunderbird as far as I’m concerned, other things like aesthetics just being matters of taste where you can’t please everyone. It’s become an annoying downside for me lately because one of my email addresses now only supports the web client and Exchange; no more IMAPS. I really cannot find another email client on Linux that works as well as Thunderbird though, at least not one that also supports Exchange, so Thunderbird it is. The new UI in OP looks great too.
A YT video does not give you assignments, reading lists or office hours to ask questions in.

It depends on whether you're the one paying for someone's learning curve.

You'll be much better off if you learn the fundamentals then use a real project to polish your skills than trying to learn from scratch with a deadline looming.

This makes me wonder, is Sequoia as good as they once were?

Which is clearly superior to an object oriented society.
> Mastodon is somewhere on this scale — and quite likely at least slightly closer to the chat end of that scale than twitter is

Even for public posts? Which show up in the federated timeline for thousands of people you don't know, are visible to anyone who loads your profile, and can be shared by URL? To me that sounds very close to a blog post (no need to ask for permission to share) and not much like a direct message (definitely ask first).
For a short time, some kids will boast about their ability to spot a deepfake in some media, but then they will use "deepfake" more generally to say that something (not AI-generated) looks weird or bad. Eventually "deepfake" will come to mean "very fake" or just "fake", and "deep" as a general prefix will start getting used to mean "very" but in a disparaging way.

This is awesome. It has killed my battery over the last couple of hours, because I couldn't stop generating new images.
> It means that the current ad-based business models with open access no longer work

No longer work for who? Viewers appear to be perfectly happy watching AI-generated content; advertisers are happy to have their brand appear next to it (so long as it's not objectionable material), google are happy to get advertising dollars and AI creators are happy to have a low-effort way to produce content.

I think it'll suck the funding out & reduce the number of effective professionals in the space even further.

> People will be willing to pay for communities that guaranteed to be "human-only" and where content is created by trustworthy sources and trust is quantified and monetized somehow.

This has been a pipe dream for decades, and I fail to see what's going to be different this time; modern AI is not meaningfully better at generating low-effort posts than content farms are.
Modern aesthetics, seismic safety, termite proof... and good for tunneling out of if you put a poster in front of it. Sounds like a win win to me.

The mathematics of artificial neural networks is math. It is only math. One can make it very complex or very simple but in the end it is just math and pointers.
Nothing wise about Martin Luther King's dream? Not many bible beliving people would say dreams are meaningless or cannot have higher meaning. I don't think my dreams are particularily important for anyone else but myself. But I have not had nightmares about the kinds of things soldiers have. PSTD suffering soldiers don't have many people to turn to. It was the subject of the movie the manchurian candidate. Great movie if you haven't seen it.

No one listens to the nightmares of those who suffer war and that is the main reason we face a catacylsm. No one wants to hear that either. So I am sure you will be no different.
I almost moved to Zoho for the same reason but then didn’t when big G changed their minds. Probably just delaying the inevitable but didn’t want to deal with the hassle of moving my whole family if I didn’t have to.

I did try out Zoho for months on one of my domains and was quite impressed. Zoho may be my go-to spot for future business services.
Those toys have been given under certain (More or less precisely/adequately defined and communicated) conditions that are constantly violated now. I still remember when ppl cared about little thing called netiquetteamd now even written terms aren't enforced :)
Appalling handling on Google’s end here. The duplicate issue part I can understand, but why should it take two reports of a critical vulnerability to take action? Surely when the first one comes through it’s something you jump on, fix and push out ASAP, not give delay to the point where a second user can come along, find the bug, and report it.

The refactor that’s mentioned towards the end of the article is great, but would you not just get a fix out there as soon as possible, then work on a good fix after that? For a company that claims to lead the way in bug bounty programs this is a pretty disappointing story.

"Phonemakers never expected it to takeoff, it was teenagers who decided that this was the way to keep in touch"

Makes me wonder what new trends dinosaurs like us don't see coming. VR?
The sheer cost of VR platforms would make it non-ubiquitous. People in developing countries use mobile because it is that versatile, and that is why mobile is the king currently. I don't see how AR/VR platforms will ever replace that in next 10-15 years.
Not testing it right now, but my understanding is, that the issue is technically for every device, but the specific condition (putting the lockscreen on top of the secure screen stack right before `.dismiss()`-ing) is a Pixel software bug.
Bottomline: have buddies at Google if you want anything ever get fixed.
Perhaps Hugh can draw on the timeless wisdom of Snoop Dogg in these trying times:

It's also a great example why not to use iOS. If you find a hardware flaw in an iPhone and it can't be patched then literally everyone is effected. Even worse is if Apple decides you can no longer use feature/app, it's gone.

Fragmentation has it's issues but centralisation is way worse.
Are older Pixel phones or other unpatched Android devices vulnerable to this?

I wish they'd bring back Google+ in its early form. I really liked that place. It was all the web people in one place, news straight from the horses mouth, an open platform.

I'm not interested at all in what's currently being offered.
I have always disliked Facebook, it created nothing but problems in my life. Twitter is for the permanently outraged hipsters. Instagram is for girls. Discord is for the angry and disrespectful youth. The rest doesn't matter.

Google+ was for techies, developers and creators. And originally the design was communication centric, then they changed it to be post centric with comments being hidden away. That was the point where it became shit and I didn't visit anymore.
They also should've gone through with the real name Google+ to YouTube binding.

The best part was no censorship.

HN isn't really a replacement for that.

If any "social network", the term is still ridiculous, would emerge it would be a non-censoring platform operated by public money without spyware or ads. You know just how the roads are public property paid by the taxpayers, the social network should be public property as well. And jobs should be public too, not just a limited group of people working on it. But public contracts.
