How is that taking control away from a local sysadmin? It'd be a great thing if they did that, since then malicious network administrators won't be able to disable DoH on computers that aren't theirs anymore. If you're really trying to control devices that are yours, you'll still be able to turn it off via local Firefox policy.
There's a massive difference between having the choice (and freedom) to stay at home -- or not -- as you wish, and pushing a movement which subjugates and flies in the face[1] of the very feminism[2] that gave women that choice to begin with.

Landing the rocket back on the pad requires significantly more fuel for most missions. The reason most Falcon 9s do landing at sea instead of RTLS is due to this. They have to boost up and out over the ocean to the correct insertion coordinates, and then they run out of fuel (for the mission). When they run out of mission fuel, they just use gravity and fall straight downwards to land on a drone ship.

In short, performing RTLS requires additional fuel. This is fuel that can no longer be used to boost the payload into the correct orbital insertion. So all RTLS missions tend to be lower performance missions that don't need the full power of the Falcon 9 / Heavy since they have fuel to spare for RTLS.

Agreed. This library is so opinionated that it more or less becomes useless. Youre way better off using iron-session or just go all the way and use a provider like Auth0, etc.

C has enough actual fans that I bet it never really goes away, but it won’t be useable in professional contexts after a while other than for maintenance, because people outside tech will start to call bullshit on the EULA liability shield.
Why wouldn’t it be feasible? (Maybe this depends on what you mean by ‘feasible’.) There’s no technical reason you can’t back-track the weights and make a list of which tokens from which training data were sampled. The list might be long, it could be impractical, but that has little bearing on whether it’s technically possible, right?

The problem here happens when the same source is sampled for many tokens in a row because it’s the only match for the context. It could also happen that many tokens in a row each have a long list of sources, but when put together have a subset of sources that appear in every token’s list. That means that someone’s input is being repeated verbatim, even if the network wasn’t trying to reproduce a single source. We could prune the list of attribution sources at the expense of compute by running largest common subset algorithms, which might be sufficient for attribution tracing?

It feels like this whole question might hinge on Fair Use. The network is copying other people’s code one token at a time. We (society & copyright law) all tend to agree that’s fine when it’s a single token out of context, and we all tend to agree it’s not fine when the whole output program matches any single input source. The question naturally becomes, “where’s the line, how many tokens in a row from a single source should be allowed?”

Getting buy-in from your team can happen gradually; initially I think you'd only need 2 people with basic competence to get past most build difficulties (in order to avoid the "hit by a bus"/"vacation" problem), and the others can learn as those 2 go (and communicate how they fixed things). Docker certainly isn't just "running some shell commands"

> Even mundane shit like ‘cd’ can fail where you least expect it, requiring || exit on practically every line of the script. Forget one place and boom.

This is true, but a much better solution is for everyone to use shellcheck. You can require that all shell scripts pass it without warnings and that every shellcheck disable comment has a good explanation attached; the first part can be automated with a pre-commit hook. In return, you get a script that is explicit and predictable rather than relying on a set of rules which you don't understand, and which may come back to bite you later when you change shells or even bash versions.

> spend weeks scrutinizing every line, NASA style

This is a colossal exaggeration. I've switched from set -e to putting || return or || exit everywhere and it barely takes more time after I got in the habit. On the rare occasions I get distracted and forget, shellcheck reminds me. I have my editor configured to run it on the fly and underline lines with warnings.
Speaker asks: "What can and should replace it?" (i.e. if you started a new project today, what language should you pick instead of C, because C would be the wrong choice).

He goes on to list the following options (and says C++ does not count), but we'll only know far in the future which would have been the right pick:

- Rust

- Go

- Zig

- V

- Nim

- Swift

That “presumably” is exactly what I’m trying to get past. How would it actually work? Once the input corpus has been chewed up and reduced to tokens, is there actually a representation of “the similar string in the corpus” any more?

I don’t think people are even clear on the problem statement here. If I fed in three very similar functions from different sources, and I got a fourth, also very similar, output, what is the “traced attribution” supposed to be?

A couple of clarifications that i expect everyone knows, but still should be said.

In all practical sense, no one "at Apache" has released any remediations for log4j. There's just a bunch of random people, probably like 3 around the world, who released these patches.

"how reliant many companies are on third-party and open source code over which they have little control or visibility" - that's crap. They have complete visibility, and a good deal of control. Companies just choose not to spend money doing so. Which is true of their own code, as well.

What the hell is "log4jshell" that is a completely stupid name. It confers some meaning that isn't there.
They are forecasting a lower demand in the short term future. I’d guess they ran the numbers and producing fewer high cost items is more cost effective for them.

Unfortunately, this likely means more shortages and costs stay high for the consumer.
At least Google plans to add houses but to me that is the key to getting people to return to the office. A home within a 20 minute commute that doesn't cost 1.2 million for a tear down.

> Google is proceeding with its massive multi-billion-dollar Downtown West development that will span roughly 80 acres near Diridon Station and could take about a decade to complete.

Google anticipates up to 25,000 people working in its downtown offices, across 7.3 million square feet of office space. The project plans also call for adding *4,000 homes*, 15 acres of parks, a large community center and its own microgrid.
Well yes, if you’re asked to memorize someone’s code, you’ll get surprisingly far too. The fact that models can do this isn’t evidence of anything. It’s a capability (or “tendency” if you overfit too much).

I think it’s pretty obvious that if you train a model to reproduce existing work in its entirety, it fails the “sufficiently transformative” test and thus loses legal protection.

But there’s nothing stopping you from re-coding existing implementations of GPL’ed code. I used to do it. And your new code has your own chosen license, even if your ideas came from someone else. Are you sure the same logic shouldn’t apply to models?
> (which is arguably the closest analogue to AI training)

It would be more accurate to compare those students with the corporate interests involved in AI training, not the model's use of the content.
Seems to me one strongly enables the other.
It does make more sense as an adverb!
And I believe that the Falcon 9 with the fastest turnaround was B1062 with 21 days between flights. The previous record (also from a Falcon 9) was two separate boosters who launched and relaunched 27 days apart.

To me it seems like an incredible number of purchases. $1-3 billion on vaporware depending on pricing distribution. Interventions per mile seem to be 4 orders of magnitude worse than the big players in the space (though they limit operating area).
Copilot also makes it easier to use open source framework code.

Being able to ask a model for help writing Spark, SQLAlchemy, Tokio, whatever, actually increases the usability of free code vs proprietary code.
I am thinking long term, as neural nets scale up, we'll have to move compute into memory. The other way around is problematic, small caches don't work well with neural nets. In fact the fastest Transformer (FlashTransformer) is based on principled usage of the SRAM cache because that's the bottleneck.
I wonder what percentage of those feel they got their money's worth.
We have 3 kids, 3 and under, and I maintain this rule in our household, as well. Once the kids are asleep, I clear the counter, clean it, and make sure the sink is clean and any dishes that need to be washed by hand are cleaned, dried, and put away. It's made a big difference in my personal quality of life to come downstairs first thing in the morning and have a clean kitchen. I have the opinion that if I didn't stay on top of this that it would quickly cascade into messes elsewhere in our lives/home. The countertop around our sink/island is the default dumping ground, I believe, because it's convenient and the space is clear, so it acts as a containment zone.

I also quickly rinse and load dishes as soon as they are able to go in. When I cook, I go through the cookware in parallel to the cooking process. I also skip the heat-dry. We run the dishwasher after dinner every night and things are almost always fully dry by morning when I come down and unload it.
If a nonwhite person made the same argument, they would be as stupid as the white person making that argument. If only white people make an argument, that is a good clue that the argument is probably racist.

To answer your question, I have to evaluate each argument separately for stupidity or racism. An example stupid argument is that it depresses wages for people who are already here. An example racist argument calls out educated non-white immigration in particular.
A crucial Christmas entertainment was the temporary government of the Lord of Misrule. At the royal court, in noble houses, Inns of Court and university colleges, Misrule presided, mocking and turning the world upside down. He even had a gibbet for mock executions. Similarly, in cathedrals and churches, boys from the choir were ‘appointed’ as bishops. Such inversion of the norms was fun and necessary.

This is really strange. Did Manorialism exist at this time, and did the peasants do this with their Lord?
The 68851 was more than up to the task, to say nothing of PowerPC chips.

Ideas cannot be owned. People can be owned, if you have slavery.

Everyone must unlearn the term "Intellectual Property". These laws are anti-property rights. They are Intellectual Slavery laws (https://breckyunits.com/an-unpopular-phrase.html).

The United States government employs more knowledge workers than all other companies (see NIH, DoD, CDC, NASA, NOAA, NWS, et cetera). Everything they produce is public domain, by law. And yet, the people producing these information products still get paid!

We don't need (c)opywrong laws. We don't need Intellectual Slavery laws.

What exactly is the benefit to public health? Serious question.
There's a physical aspect of it that can't be overlooked. If you need to write 1000 lines of code to realize your creative vision, that takes time and sustained rapid hand movements - both of which are finite resources. I only see it as a chore when my hands lag behind my brain.

I had the same reaction to ChatGPT at first but in am seeing a lot of beginner level people use it for learning a new programming languages or framework.

Traditional search engines are becoming more and more useless so it is not wonder that ChatGPT starts filling that need.

It might be obvious for you and me that ChatGPT should not be "considered a source of truth" and people are better off reading the actual manual instead of asking it but it is NOT so obvious for a terrifyingly huge percentage of people.

Also, I saw videos on how ChatGPT is used to generate tutorials and whatnot, further reducing the quality of text-based content one can find with traditional search engines.

So yeah, it does have power. People rely on it for learning and doing programming tasks.

Maybe it is just a short lived hype and they get burned by it and abandon it soon but who knows.
Because you didn’t actually refute anything the GP said, and gave bad advice, all while being incredibly negative and arrogant.

You continue to just say it depends without giving any actual scenarios. You make it sound like magic, but it’s not: “under x and y, do z except when u” is better than “it depends, I’m sick of all these noobs”.

Also, your main points are against denormalization and avoiding large table joins which are 100% rational arguments under certain workloads.
> It's been clearly displayed that these tools are emitting verbatim copies of existing code (and its comments) in their input.

Which makes sense when you consider that the sort of code that is getting reproduced verbatim is usually library functions which developers may copy and paste verbatim comments and all into their project, especially when you prompt the AI with the header of a function that has been copied and pasted often, so the weightings will in that instance be heavily skewed towards reproducing that function
In Texas, Favor (owned by HEB, the grocery chain) allows for this. They interface directly with some restaurants like UberEats or Grubhub, but you can order anything from anywhere and they’ll go and place the order as a regular to-go request.
Yes. Somehow same stuff becomes a proper work if we hired a nanny.

I guess „work“ depends on generating GDP for many people. Sort of like me cooking dinner is not work, yet cook at a restaurant is working.
I use to do this in school and tbh, should try going back. It was very much adapted from Cal Newport's method. Every morning I wrote all my to-dos on a index card from my Google Calendar. Anything that came up during my day which I could not finish within 5-20 minutes was written on the back to add to my calendar. This way I can focus on finishing the front side of the card and mindful of activities in the back.

Now it's easier with the Things app (especially since I can email or have a script to send my todos to it directly). Highly recommend it!
To me AI code generators are the equivalent of crypto tumblers or mixers for digital coins. You can pretend all you want that the output is 'clean' but we all know it came from somewhere else and wasn't actually generated by the software, just endless little snippets that other people made.

It’s an incredible testament to our normalization of the contemporary American Way that “buying a home in a small city” is considered traditional.

I’m about the same age as you, and I have friends who have done the same thing. But I don’t thing they would consider what they’re doing “traditional” in remotely the same sense as the tradwife phenomenon uses the term.

Some ride hailing apps have courier option available. Perhaps not in the US though? You could order a taxi and ask driver to retrieve your order for you for a tip?
Like the opposite of a cloud database. An anti-RDS. The third party is just an orchestrator for your local auth storage. I'd be curious to see how that works.

At the least, though, it would need 'you' to be pretty good at securing your now-publicly-accessible database resource. Perhaps there is a middle ground where the auth provider specifies an 'interface' (eg via OpenAPI) and 'you' provide a set of endpoints to fulfil that spec; a protective shield over the database which remains locked down internally.

Inverting the flow; an interesting idea.
Don't listen to anyone saying "Don't write your own X". These things are not that hard once you filter out all the useless abstractions added by various libraries trying to give you a turn key solution. I suppose many just feel safe leaving responsibility in someone else's hands. I have never looked back after fighting passport.js some 10 years ago - being completely free to make you auth flow exactly how you need it is liberating! Now once you've done that a few times you are also in a much better position to decide if it might actually make sense to use a library or some auth provider for any future solutions.
