> Or train it with the voice of the computer from TNG, pair it with ChatGPT and now I have the perfect digital assistant.

Apparently the project of keeping the voice of Majel Barrett around forever had already been started long before machine learning models became commonplace, so a generative ML model of her voice will surely be done in some way: https://mobile.twitter.com/roddenberry/status/77249320412194...

I wonder what this will mean for the profession of voice actors. That market will surely suffer hard from the stock-photo equivalent in voice models racing to the bottom, but if some sane default contract models emerge that are respectful to both sides perhaps custom recording can remain an attractive premium option: do tailored recording for the main items and allow extensions from a model derived from the initial set for a fee that's considerably lower than what would be appropriate for real, recorded extensions but not quite free forever included with the initial payout. Model-as-a-service could become quite a business opportunity because it would not just be about being good at taking a set of recordings and running the algorithms but also double as a trusted intermediary. Really depends on how cheap a service like that could operate.
Well thats true forever and even for non-human animals.
People are using AI in the weirdest ways possible
Microsoft chose to not use all code that is accessible to their scraper. All proprietary closed repositories on github that large companies use are excluded. I can easily image all the lawsuit that would had happened if paying customers that kept company secrets hosted at github had been used and leaked by copilot.

The decision to only train it on "open" repositories was one of self preservation.
This article looks like an abridged publication of the one you linked to that was published about a week later in 2018. At the bottom of the article OP shared they even link to the original article and mention the original publication, "This article originally appeared on the MSIM Blog, explore more of their stories at blog.msimanchester.org.uk" So it seems more like a republishing, which is common for smaller media publications to do to expand reach
I religiously keep everything up to date, for anything exposed to the public I use https (Traefik does let's encrypt, caddy as well) and set 2FA for Nextcloud for example, there is also a brute-force protection app for NC.

Some services, like HA, my minecraft servers, Paperless, in fact most of them, I would indeed feel less comfortable exposing, and I don't, but for NextCloud I also use it to share large files with friends so it needs to be internet facing, as do the blogs, but Hugo generates static sites, so that is quite secure (like earlier mentioned blog).
> I know Europe isn't as anti climate change as US

I feel like this isn't the clearest phrasing. :) Perhaps you meant anti-anti-climate change (clunky) or anti-climate change awareness or similar?
In python2 you can easily mix encoded and unencoded strings. This doesn't actually work, but at worst it'll produce mangled strings. You used to see this sort of thing online quite a lot with webpages having all sorts of weird characters and question marks showing up.

Python3 enforces the difference between encoded and unencoded strings. It forces you to deal correctly with unicode. If your code base was already handling unicode correctly it wasn't much hassle to migrate. If your code base was making a mess of unicode handling --like many at the time were-- you'd run into that headfirst.
On every project I’ve been on every role has a backfill. The backfill is not usually as competent (expensive) as the primary but if the primary gets hit by a bus the backfill can keep the show going. Yes, you better have a way to login to all systems the primary is logging in too as well. You don’t want your backfills first question to be “ok, so what’s root on this box?”
> Why are people so adamant that they absolutely must call non-REST APIs “REST”?

It's good for marketing I guess? A while ago REST took on connotations of "simple" and "clean", mostly in comparison to SOAP. So people will probably think more highly of your API if you call it REST.
How to get on Hacker News front page: Learnings from Tailscale
John PA Ioannidis, one of the authors of that paper (which is from 2018 btw) has published an average of 60 papers per year for the last decade, and more than 1100 in total (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Ioannidis+JPA&filter=d...). I’m pretty sure he doesn’t even have time to read most of his own papers.
As first names? "Earl" is the only one I can think of that is common here.

It is not particularly hard to find surnames that are titles: think of B.B. King, and there are plenty of Grafs and Herzogs out there.
Can you share a bit about how you set this up?

Also curious if anyone has taken this a step further and MITM Squid proxied their whole home to cache all responses >100mb or something like that.
The relevant part of the terms would be https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-t..., plus the definition of Service, which would include Copilot. I don’t believe GitHub have ever claimed to be or suggested that they are using this, and I think it would be a very shaky claim in a court due to the second paragraph.

Rather, GitHub have consistently cited “fair use”, as also noted in the suit, including in the summary at https://unicourt.com/case/pc-db5-doe-1-et-al-v-github-inc-et.... I also don’t believe GitHub have ever claimed to only use GitHub repositories, though I know of no obvious evidence of them having fetched from other sources, and they may well not have simply because it’s more convenient not to and they’ve got enough already, even if it honestly weakens their position (“if you’re relying on ‘fair use’, why haven’t you added closed-source software like the GitHub backend to show you mean it?”).
> Some open code carries relatively light requirements, for example: “Don’t use my code commercially (don’t sell it or use it in something you sell)” and, very basically.

How can anyone even enforce this? Why can't I take some code, create a SaaS product for drug dealers, and then go sell it to my Opp Daquavion Marshawn III down the block? Who will ever find out?
I dunno, I find AHK's syntax really hard to wrap my head around, whereas AutoIt is simplistic enough that I never had to even bother with the forums in the first place, the built-in helpfile basically has everything I needed.
> It will be a real shame if the fantastic achievement of OpenAI with copilot etc is smothered by ego.

I don't know if you watch YouTube, but this is probably how every creator hit with a bullshit DMCA claim for 5s of audio from a song feels. Why does OpenAI's work demand special consideration here? Or to put it another way - if we're going to be ignoring copyright, everyone should be able to do it.
C++20 modules is supposed to fix that. I wish I could get compilers that implemented them.
I don't know enough C++ or Rust to judge but is it possible that they are optimized around Rust that isn't C++ style? I know I have seen articles about other languages where some very minor changes make a huge difference because the optimizations in place didn't understand what was happening and had to work harder.

And did you try any of the optimization strategies again at 24x? I would be curious if there are differences there.
But this isn't a discussion about pickups specifically. Attacking an example is pointless if the thing you take issue with is incidental and not fundamental to the argument. I bet you could think of a case where you pick something else and OP's example meets your standards.
> You seem to be acting as if I'm going to just throw out any resume with Twitter on it.

You did imply that is the case. The only people who stayed post-musk have compromised morals or they would have left with the rest of the right thinkers.

Maybe not what you meant but what I read.

Just one more datapoint: I did talk to an Iranian friend who said things are dire and the uprising is real.
I’ve used a first-gen M1 MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM, and that was pretty good for Rust development.

No hard numbers, just anecdata.

Edit: now I think about it, the first time I heard the fan on the machine (out of ~3 times in ~2 years) was when I built a Rust project while running Airflow in docker compose under Rosetta emulation, back when one of the Docket images didn’t support arm64
> But apparently infringers are using this line of argument. So how? Is it not absurd?

You realise that they haven’t actually used that line of argument, right? The article author speculated that it might be part of the defence and then said they didn’t find it compelling. Set up a straw man and then knocked it down in virtually the same breath.

Don’t waste your time complaining about legal arguments that have not been made except in the imagination of one author.
I wonder if they’ll take it back if you find a dead pixel?

That said I wonder how durable the “paint” is and when graphics will be possible (seems like the resolution is like 24).

It's really easy to be so philosophical when you're not going to lose your livelihood
Interesting, where (country) do you live that that's the case?

Honestly, if they didn't put separate fan temperature/time on the back of stuff (increasingly they don't actually, more and more I'm seeing fan only) I'd honestly never have known anything else existed. I've never lived anywhere with one, didn't see any for sale when I bought one (to replace broken one) a couple of years ago. (UK)
Combine this with a side gig of processing expired canaries.

I think sometimes we can overweight the impact of tools and systems for retaining knowledge. These tools can be useful (I'm working on my own home grown versions of them) and I am getting better with the systems as I get more practice. But, still, this is a race you can never win. As you digest more information, you consume more.

Eventually you've got to get out there and be a maker.
>And even expression can be copied if it is small enough

This is what I would argue if I was Microsoft's lawyer. You can't win a copyright lawsuit over one bar of music, one dance move, or a few words. Similarly, copilot can't be considered to be infringing on anyone's copyright because the snippets it might copy verbatim are too short to be copyrightable.
I thought the same. Having run HA at my own home for a couple years now, theres no way I would take ownership of someone elses install. I love the setup, its just not a "non-tech savvy friendly" ecosystem. Thats what I assume you pay for on the COTS ones.
Those "we need more X" news articles are the standard way for the owners of wealth to complain about high wages - and to encourage younger folks to pick those careers.

In state with occupational licensing for trades, they do have decent wages. In states without that licensing, hiring immigrant workers is the way to drive down wages/costs.
Against a company which makes 6-7x that in yearly profits, that's still not an effective deterrent.

* Nfs for home directories
* Git repos via vanilla ssh/bash scripts
* Other temporary odds and ends.
The article OP shared does not link to the original article, but to the general page where the original can be found, specifically "https://blog.msimanchester.org.uk/".

The original article also contains more images and more information. Seems fair to use the original when it is the original and also better than the copy.
There are entire towns and villages on the floodplains of rivers whose course meanders over time. There are lots of resorts and cottages on shallow coastal barrier islands that are inundated frequently by hurricanes and rising oceans. If you put down a deep well in an arid region, you can often find an aquifer with enough water to last a small town or farm for a few decades that replenishes on a scale of millennia.

The earth changes. Humanity doesn't have a responsibility to a resort owner keep things the same as they were when we started keeping good records.
You give people ownership over bigger subsystems over time, basically.
Cool, I'm sick and tired of Christians forcing their beliefs on me. I'm sure that if a law were passed allowing me to take private action and sue people for being Christian that would be fine since it's not the government taking action on religion?

Definitely about to happen as soon as lawyers can establish reasonable damages can be assessable to be worth the effort - or they piss off some rich artist who will be willing to underwrite the cost ala Theil did with Gawker. There was a ruckus just some weeks ago about some artist feeling that her style of art has become very easy to rip off.
Absolutely idiotic isn't it?
> I think one of the interesting things that will be covered in this lawsuit is whether the licence under which the code is released applies at all in the case of screen scraping.

Screen scraping is essentially a question of whether or not the actions constitute something akin to hacking, which is almost completely orthogonal to copyright. The main intersection you get is that many screen scraping scenarios are about things that aren't copyrightable (the US doesn't recognize "sweat of the brow" doctrine, so databases aren't copyrightable). When Google was scraping lyrics off of lyric sites--lyrics being totally and clearly copyrightable--it was dinged pretty hard for that.

I suspect they will help with the parsing, but not with template instantiation cost which dominates metaprogramming.
The corporate term is "healthy redundancy".
Technically the GitHub TOS is in itself a license; much like how you can dual-license code, uploading to GitHub is its own license grant separate from the license of the code you're granting to anyone who wants to use it for their own purposes. LICENSE.txt/md is not the only way to grant access to code you write.

> GitHub themselves say [1]

Irrelevant. You're quoting docs.github.com, which is neither authoritative (docs are written to GitHub's documentation standards, not by their legal team), nor is it always up-to-date or well informed for the non-legal matters where it ventures to comment about the state of GitHub's products/services.

> that doesn't mean it's open source

Strawman. The question is "can you fork/copy?", not "is it open source?". The answer to the former is "absolutely yes, unequivocally". Anyone saying otherwise is wrong.
Tell me more!

The symbolism is important too. If the company is dedicated to reviving the canary, then that helps miners believe that the company also cares about their lives and will work to rescue them in case of a disaster.

If they don't care about the death of the canary in the coal mine...

Basically just a bunch of shellscripts for most part, that is run with systemd timers on a PC-like server (consumer components), served via Caddy.

Npm registry is using verdaccio, arch packages is using https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/infrastructure/-/blob... + what is outlined at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:NewMirrors, clojars is just reading the list of packages and downloading them one by one each day.

Not a unified or nicely done setup by any means, just thrown together to solve the problem at hand.
Seconded. Just get a Synology NAS. I'm incredibly happy with mine, they really seem to make a great product on both the hardware and software side.
By virtue if being smaller it does yes - there's an argument for using as small an oven as possible for sure - but the return on investment of that for having multiple different sized ovens is bound to be longer than the product's lifetime.

(I broke my oven door, rather than pay £150 plus labour opted to pay £280 for a new oven. That was a Bosch, certainly not the cheapest possible.)

From reading this, it appears that the pattern is not self-replicating in the sense that it can spawn a generation of descendants. Rather it just makes a copy of itself and then dies.

The pattern in the video in this article, on the other hand, can produce multiple viable offspring (although not always, as there is non-determinism). I am not aware of any such patterns in the Game of Life.
If someone wants to pour money into a crazy scheme, why should our government waste resources to protect them? The website says "The FBI is legally mandated to identify victims of federal crimes that it investigates" so I suppose that's the stated reason, but why should they care?

If someone was illegally selling securities that they claimed were regulated or audited, or that depositor's funds were FDIC or SPIC insured, certainly law enforcement should step in for the "victims." But why waste FBI manpower in this case? Why not just let "a fool and his money" go anyway they want? (Is it because the stolen money went to fund nefarious things, like North Korea?)
Well he might be a post modernist in the literal sense but as the entry point to this discussion is about power structures on how they might have gotten it right. But what I see is people having things backwards with e.g. the corruption of biology by the power structures, it is backwards the powerful abuse our biology against us with e.g. compulsion loops that are proven by neorology with dopamnine system. The power structures didn't create the dopamnine system an its role in creating addictions, but the power structures uses and/or abuses that knowledge.

For example we have the post modern field of "fat studies" where they blame society for having power structures against their body size. Which is exactly the wrong way. The powerstructure is there to make them unhealthy because they make a profit of using humans evolutionary craving for high-caloric foods against them. That view point is totally discounted that the whole "healthy at every size" plays right in the hands of the powerful not the powerless.
Encourage all other contributors to take ownership of subsystems. I haven't found a better way so far. Empower people to be more courageous and trust them (after a few initial and super heavy PR reviews, of course).

Basically, decentralization. There can still be the Dev X who knows it all but everyone else should be able to maintain and evolve various pieces of the system should the need arise.
There was a nice comic that expressed things in terms of horse-power or "invisible slaves" working for you.

When your enjoyment requires the equivalent of thousands working for you, and it is from a resource that is finite and non-renewable, then it is probably wasteful.
