If that is in fact how CoPilot got the green light from their legal team and what the case will eventually hinge upon, I really wonder if the argument that CoPilot is part of the "service" will hold up. I can imagine a judge or jury not being convinced here because the majority of the paragraph is clearly about the general use of the service (parsing it into a search index so you can search in your repo; making backups so that service isn't disrupted in the case of some server failure; share it with others so that others can access the content you uploaded). In other words, if this is what they argue is the reason CoPilot is okay, I can imagine plaintiff's lawyers able to successfully argue against it on the basis that CoPilot isn't really part of the normal service like e.g. the repos are and the argument that it could fall into the "otherwise analyze" statement is flimsy as it's not clear what analyze is defined as and it's arguable that adding it to an AI training model is not the same as or similar to indexing for search.

I suspect that the main argument will hinge not on the permission though, but rather if the use of code that is copyrighted in an AI model is transformative enough to fall under fair use. Obviously it's to be decided but I would imagine that because it wasn't a human transforming the code and/or hand selecting the code to put into the AI model, that it won't be considered transformative and therefore the use of the code doesn't fall under fair use.

I'm very curious how this case will play out.
For those of us less versed in Rust, from what I can gather the reason the provided Vec<Vec<T>> implementation works is that the Vec implementation guarantees[1] no reallocation happens when created with a sufficient capacity, and that the elements live on the heap. This means it's safe for the outer Vec to be reallocated.

That said, the pop implementation seems faulty in that it does not appear to deallocate empty chunks. Does Rust have any non-obvious magic here?

All models are wrong, some are useful.

CICO is neither a religion nor a complete explanation of metabolism. It’s a super simplified model that leads to some useful practical conslusions (eg it’s easier to eat less to lose weight than exercise more, some foods will make you more fat than others relative to how full they make you feel).

It’s super accessible, you can look up the calories of whatever you eat and whatever exercise you do.

I’ve seen lots of valid complaints about CICO, but never a suggestion for an alternative that’s similarly useful with even the same magnitude of simplicity.

Note I take CICO to mean bio-available calories roughly equals base metabolic rate plus exercise out for the average person. Actual energy-balance “draw a box around a person” joules in equals joules out is unhelpfully reductionist.
To be honest, that's what actually happened to me too, though with me it's fat.

FTX wouldn’t just ack your cancel request and then give you a fill - you would get cancel successful messages, order status updates that cancelled your order with no filled quantity, and then ten seconds later get a fill for that order.

Occasionally sending out zero balances was another FTX special.

I believe the rapeseed marketers/producers would prefer it be called "canola oil".
That’s possible, but unlikely considering that numerous studies of literate vs illiterate people have shown that literacy correlates with improved working memory not the inverse.

Studies of using mnemonic techniques to memorize long sequences (similar to what oral performers were doing) have also not shown much promise in increasing cognitive abilities.
Do not fret. Most people who've received what they've expected to purchase will contact you to find a new means to submit any moneys. Not all will, but say 140000 euro, and items in the hundred range that shouldn't be more than 1400 purchases. This might seem like a big task, but a few days work communicating is well worth it. Yes you might end up losing some money, but some remuneration (most) is better than none. The only foreseeable problem are continuation of the online store for new orders and if you have stock that needs to be shifted soon due to renting storage space.

By the way, quoting tracking numbers would mean little to any processing company, because they tend not to accurately reflect customers who have their goods. I've been in that boat and burned a couple of times myself, one instance by a large apparently respectable phone company.
Who is using seed oils unheated? There’s almost zero use cases for that.

You could maybe argue store bought salad dressings but any real homemade or high quality dressing is not going to be made with canola or sunflower oil but most likely olive oil.

But yes I suspect the health problems from people with heavy seed oil diets comes from consuming foods prepared with seed oils heated at very high temperatures because they quickly degrade and release free radicals in your body. The worst is vegetable oil that is being used over and over again for frying.
I don’t know why you’ve been downvoted. The amount of knowledge we know of the brain than is significantly much lesser than what we don’t know. Heck, we’re still not sure if SSRIs work by increasing serotonin, reducing inflammation or increasing plasticity. Maybe all 3 are related.

Evolution has had millions of years to work on its craft. We’ve been studying it for an infinitesimal fraction of that time. There’s nothing surprising here.

Getting chatgpt to suggest tags to simplify linking articles is a good first step too. chatgpt" - "please provide tags to simplfy searching for this article - 'some article content'".

It is a real loss, Gumby. Carl and I were friends and spent hours on the telephone solving the problems of the world and playing polymath math. Hardly a day would go by without an hour or so chat with Carl.
I will never buy hardware that requires an online account. At least not expecting it to last.

If a company does not leverage the account, maybe they go bankrupt, get acquired, or just shut down their servers supporting old hardware.

That said, I wonder if people might still qualify for small claims when their devices get turned into bricks.
I'm not satisfied by your explanation here. What definition of 'polymorphism' are you using? Why would type checking need to precede monomorphisation? Additionally, how do C++ concepts fit into your beliefs?
That's not most places. Vegetable oils are expected to be able to be used as frying oils. Olive oil has too low of a smoke-point to be used in frying.
A great way to be terribly sore all the time.
Maybe you’re smarter than me. That's OK. Tho I'm sorry but it doesn’t make sense what you say. Can you explain with some numbers?
From Japanese people, I have the impression that they've largely given up on microwaves and toaster ovens, as inconvenient and space-wasting. Having an oven in a Japanese home is extremely rare, being regarded as professional bakery equipment.

Instead, they have a "deshi rehhhn-ji", which literally translates to "electric range". This will confuse people for whom "the range" is the thing you can place multiple pots and pans on to cook simultaneousely.

But a denshi rehhhn-ji actually is more like a combination toaster oven plus microwave with a single shared compartment, designed to use infrared and microwave power simultaneously. Attempts to market these in USA over 14 years ago failed, seemingly due to high prices and consumers' preconception that ovens, toasters, and microwaves are fundamentally separate devices. However, I've recently seen at a Target store in USA three different combination devices that may be similar, from different companies. Their marketing at that store was like "combination air fryer and microwave!" and "combination microwave and broiler!".

deshi reenji …but that the double 'e' is not an English "long e" but rather more like an English "short e" of double length.
It's hard to imagine that language choice wasn't a factor - or at least that the philosophical ideals that led to the language choice weren't a factor.
Not my favorite but one I wished went away but never will. The idea that the government is hiding information about aliens. Even the fact that people think that they exist irks me. There has been zero evidence but as soon as people find a situation they can't quickly explain it becomes a case where it must have been created by extraterrestrials. What's truly frustrating is that even some of the most learned scientist have fallen in to this trap.
Back when I worked in a software company, everything had to be in a single database. Top down control by a CEO with an engineering bent seems to be the only way the chaos gets tamed.
It would be nice if controls were required by law to be the same "UI" in all cars. e.g. shifter is the same in all cars, turn signals, wipers, etc all the things that distract us when driving.

Another pet peeve is microwaves. It takes me a minute to figure out everyone's microwave since none have the same UI. Every microwave designer thinks they know better!
I have an NFC dot on the doorframe and unlock my door by holding my phone up to it. It's definitely slower than using the keypad, and probably slower than getting out a key, but it's way more satisfying than either.
There are too many aspects. Like gut flora and even enzymes present. Those could affect how and to what input is broken down. And then there are hormone responses and how body responses to those. In the end we are probably very far away of having complete understanding what is going on. And differences might be minute, but will add over years.
They are assessing cognitive performance with a single test, and these lemur have a special ‘low energy’ mode, so there’s many options. For instance it might be that their single test succeeds while other brain capacities are impacted (for instance social, emotionally capacities or memory).

I'd have to disagree. To me a negative is worth more than an assisted rep because you get to practice the real range of motion and activate all muscles (incl. stabilizers).

Assisted forms ultimately "assist" you at some fixed point which alters the path you would take if hanging, often removing your core entirely.

Also, I'd take the non-linear resistance of bands over the absence of core activation from a pull-up machine or the very different lat pulldown motion.
Disappointing. I guess this weekend I'll be rearranging and trying to find two feet next to the TV to store the thing on its side.
It'd be interesting to hear them side by side and evaluate for yourself.
It may or may not be unconstitutional, but the people who conceived and wrote the constitution would vomit in outrage upon learning of its existence and barely-bridled, unelected, wide ranging power.
I believe the oils aren't divided this way for any taxonomic reason, but rather because we already have evidence of olive, avocado, coconut etc. oils having little-to-no impact on health, in contrast to other oils. The groups are basically "presumed innocent" oils and "presumed guilty" oils.

Or, to be more charitable, the groupings can also be looked at as "oils humans evolved eating" (olive oil, butter, coconut milk, etc) vs "oils we just started eating recently, because they can't be extracted without modern technology."
I just checked my "vegetable oil", and it is further labled as 100% soybean. I can't imagine why would waste the more expensive olive oil by using it as an additive for cheap vegetable oil.

> the example was more about highlighting that "a giant table of token frequencies" by itself is probably reversible back to original data, or at least something resembling it

That depends entirely on how many frequencies you're keeping.

> high-level patterns in such data

High level patterns across thousands of images are generally not copyrightable.

I might even describe the purpose of stable diffusion as extracting just the patterns and zero specifics.
XML isn't the problem. It would have been great if it had been introduced now, in a world totally comfortable with unstructured hash soups and trees and such.

Unless you're deep frying everything, which arguably unhealthy regardless of chosen fat, it's hard to believe avocado oil is a significant component to meal cost. I just pan fried some vegetables, and I may have spent 5c on oil?
excessive sugar consumption is bad, agreed, but vegetable oil is awful for very specific reasons that have nothing to do with macros.
Do you mean an alternative server software or alternative homeserver instance?

On the latter case Mozilla runs one. There are tables of free ones on the Internet, and you can also host your own.

On the former it isn't clear that the matrix.org software was to blame at all.
They should develop some sort of conveyor belt machine that takes the weights up so you only have to lower them! Otherwise gym pulley style machines seem perfect for this.
Nice work! I’d also like to chime in and advise against skipping college.

Like you, I learned to program on my own through primary and middle school but it wasn’t making me any money when I started Uni. Starting Uni allowed me to get a government loan (with near zero interest rates) that made my life a lot easier so I did. In the first year, one of my ventures took off and I was making decent money, more than I would at the jobs Uni was preparing me for.

I spent the next few years only doing the bare minimum for Uni and focusing on my startup instead, but looking back it was the best time of my life. Great social life, meeting lots of new people, discovering and learning about myself, lots of free time. I’ve finished Uni 10 years ago but damn do I miss that time.

Work life is long, be patient!
I always enjoyed the X-Files-style alien conspiracies. Abductions, Roswell, the Men in Black, crop circles, Area 51, that sort of stuff. Unfortunately, those seem to have fallen out of favour in recent years.

To this day, one of my favourite things to do for relaxation is playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 while listening to old Coast to Coast AM shows from the 1990s about aliens, or demonic possessions, the Georgia Guidestones, or doomsday prophecies about some catastrophic, civilisation-ending event happening at the turn of the millennium. It's better than watching a movie or a TV show for me.

Maybe it's because I don't keep up with this stuff anymore, but it feels like modern conspiracies have a very heavy political (and partisan) component, and that sort of thing just repels me. Used to be that governments, no matter their political leanings, were part of the cover-up and not to be trusted. Now it seems like half of the conspiracies are political ads for one side or the other.
oh, I don't blame the 1000 people. I blame the asshat developers who tricked them into buying into a fake utopian suburbia there.

you don't need to displace anybody. you need to stop blaming the farmers and/or taking their water and start ENFORCING reasonable water restrictions on the existing developments. About 50% of the water being used by municipalities is potable drinking water being sprayed on lawns and golf courses. You get rid of that before a telling a farmer to get lost because it's "easier".
The average Google/AWS datacenter doesn't have the networking to support the kinds of high-adjacency work that supercomputers do. The biggest ones may be able to score higher on Linpack if they tried, but at much higher power.
I remember there were so many vendors and so many types (and god, Type IV / Metal were really expensive!).

Now I do really wonder if they really made any substantial difference, at least when played on the average consumer hi-fi stereo system (or even boomboxes!) of the times.

Also, consider how valuable it would have been just this kind of testing/data then: https://audiochrome.blogspot.com/2020/12/index-to-cassette-t...

In my case, an MG and a Toyota, both from around 2000.
I've "tried" cassette tapes three times now.

The first, which at this point is insignificant, is when they were period-accurate, and I didn't have a frame of reference. They were pretty good then.

The second time was around 2009, when I bought my first car, and the steering wheel had buttons that could control (pause / seek, not just rewind / fast forward) the cassette deck. So I bought a recorder and started moving some music onto it. When I got it into the car, though, I learned about "wow and flutter": the motors in the cassette deck being ten years old, they no longer rotated at a constant speed. Instead, they'd speed up and slow down, sometimes at unpredictable frequencies, so the pitch of the music would be increasing and decreasing all the time. Sort of like a truck horn, constantly going by you.

The third time was just this year, when I had the opportunity to buy an album digitally for $9, or digitally and with a cassette for $10. Naturally, I had to see what I'd get. I put it in a (different) car's cassette deck, and this time was greeted with music that sounded like it was recorded by Alvin and the Chipmunks. This car doesn't get driven much, and when the alternator is charging the battery, 12 volts is more like 15 - and the motors in the cassette deck again care about that.

Digital has its own shortcomings (I own too many devices with horrid DACs), but I vastly prefer being able to listen digitally and get a better-sounding result.
maybe in your country, but certainly not in the USA, it's too cheap to put in soy/canola for them to even consider olive oil

A shallow question, but I am not familiar with aws. how do you allow access to your aws resource from your desktop application? that is, I would have assumed you would need to embed some sort of aws key.
I was confused by the terminology between Meta, Oculus and Facebook accounts, and which was an upgrade of which.

When confronted by the upgrade (I was actually trying to do something else, which required upgrading the account to Meta, which required upgrading the software) I tried the path of least resistance, which was just "log in with your email". I didn't remember if this was how I always logged in, and honestly this is a gaming gadget which receives far less atention than my laptop or mobile -- I just figured whatever I chose would be harmless. Turns out this wasn't right, and then the oficial docs warn that choosing the wrong option may result in creating an empty new account without any apps/games, which will require deleting it before proceeding, which may take up to 90 days.

I freaked out, tried logging in, it didn't work, freaked out some more and one of the random things I tried (I forget which) worked and I suddenly had all my stuff again.

Noteworthy here: I'm tech savvy, this shouldn't require freaking out, and in fact it should be smooth sailing, something like "click here to upgrade, done, you're ready to go".

How does this work? Do you just read it on github? Or you suppose to make copy of it on your computer. Looks like these are just linked md files. Is it similar to wiki? I'm confused.
Here in Korea quick building of mass housing is incredibly common yet there's not a single food desert or ghetto to be found. "Quick" and "cheap" are relative terms but here apartment blocks of 1k+ residencies are built in ~4 years. While most aren't "cheap" as they're built for families, those for 1 or 2-person households are very cheap by e.g. Western-European capital standards.
Well that's not feasible for me, but I have been meaning to upgrade to a larger desk (I'm still on the first one I ever owned - the cheapest one from Ikea). You've inspired me to do it. Just ordered a new one.
I was surprised to learn that the number of people who can only think in terms of single variables is staggering, and that the main variable they consider was what the last asshat on TV said it should be.
I have a small house/kitchen. I got rid of the entire oven. Replaced it with a two burner counter top and an instant pot that does 7 things (including air fryer). Certainly it limits cooking a bit and requires some creativity, but at the end of the day, couldn't be happier with all the extra space.
The comment you replied to mentions that the video is linked in the article.
I'm not sure linking to a post detailing the PEDs alongside their routine is typical of the average person who does bodybuilding style training.
Yeah sure junk peer reviews, publisher should have noticed, etc.
