As the linked article describe it:

"the office said copyright protection depends on whether AI's contributions are "the result of mechanical reproduction," such as in response to text prompts, or if they reflect the author's "own mental conception.""

So if we take that into software development, the text input that the developer gave copilot may be protected under copyright but the output of copilot may not.

If the developer arrange or modify the output, then those arrangements and modifications can also be protected under copyright.

To me that means that during copyright cases there will be a much bigger burden on the plaintiff to prove that they own copyright in any specific situation, and that the infringement is done on those parts that is covered by copyright and not just the output of the copilot algorithm. Simply claiming authorship to all the code will no longer be enough.
It seems the markdown formatted links are broken. Makes it a little ugly to read in parts.
It's an attempt to solve "player readability". It's common complaint in CS:GO. Many pros play with color vibrance cranked in driver or monitor settings.

I don’t play CS anymore so I don’t appreciate this firsthand. Besides the smokes, it looks pretty much the same. Do the physics feel different or something?

My understanding is that this is CSGO ported to source 2. I’m not clear on what the differences between the engines are, or if it was a rework of the original engine or completely new.
It means they're increasing the granularity of the timeline of events in order to improve accuracy and fairness.
Translating ideas into code has never been the bottle neck in software development. Well, not in web dev anyways. Developers spend very little time writing code compared to reading. You still need all your expertise to guide copilot & evaluate its suggestions.

I see copilot as just another productivity tool. Combined with ChatGPT it may save a few roundtrips to Stack Overflow too.
Yellen just repeated the exact federal reserve policy, like every treasury sec/federal reserve chairman has done since forever. Kinda wild to define that as corruption, but to each their own.

Instead, why don't you look at how many people have lost uninsured deposits since the FDIC was created in 1933? You'll find its extremely low to nonexistent. Thats because while the FDIC has a 250k insurance limit, it does its absolute best to not use it- Usually by coordinating a bank sale or private-public rescue plan.
Moving the goalposts from sexual harassment to violent crime doesn't change reality. I don't know any men who fear violent crime every time they step foot out of the house, unless they are actively involved in a lifestyle that tends to violent crime. Most women I know fear sexual harassment and worse every time they step foot out of the house.
I'm dubious about the changes to smoke. The volumetric stuff, is cool, but being able to shoot holes in it and blow it away with grenades is a really huge game play change.

I suppose they have to shake up the game a little, but the CS community is very stubborn about change. We'll have to see how they take it.

First I want to take this opportunity to plug one of my favorite books as of late: "Sayings of the desert fathers". It is a collection of writings from very early Christian monks (around 200AD): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0140447318/. Cannot recommend this enough.

You can read more about these monks here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_Fathers?useskin=vector

And here is a famous quote from Saint Anthony: “A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, 'You are mad; you are not like us.”

This is relevant because a lot of the things in this book have to do with removing distractions. The monks were doing it to pray.

Okay that said:

Something I've been noticing about myself lately, which could just be reading comprehension decline?

I tend to skim what people write heavily. So much of what people write seems completely pointless. ChatGPT and other LLMs have really laid this bare. You can take a simple statement like "tell this person that I can't make it to dinner", and it will expand it into several paragraphs of niceties, but the actual information is the same.

I've noticed that it makes it difficult to switch back to information-dense reading, and to actually read all of it instead of reflexively skimming it to try and glean out the seed.
Weather underground's 10 day forecast, especially the expected precipitation graph is FANTASTIC! I've found it to be very reliable for predicting real rainfall amounts for planning outdoor activities.

Too bad they don't show it on mobile though!

Does anyone have a recommendation for something similar? The usability of the WU app is pretty awful.
Yeah I have no idea what Notion is and when I opened the Loop page I literally said aloud "Isn't this just Google Wave?"
> You must not scale servers up and down very frequently then.

Indeed we don't. But i don't see why it would be a problem if we did. If you can run a script to copy a Go binary to a VM when you scale up, you can run a script to copy a tarball and unpack it. If you're scaling based on a prepared image, then you can prepare the image by unpacking a tarball, rather than copying in one file.

> Wait, so it's not really a single user-visible step. You have one user-visible step to deploy the application server, and a different user-visible step to deploy the JDK.

Oh come on! If that matters to you, change the app deployment script to run the JDK deployment script first. Bam, one step.

> Scaling up and down is much, much simpler with immutable infrastructure patterns

Sure, and as far as i can see, this is completely orthogonal to having a single-file deployment. You haven't made any case at all for why having single-file deployment is valuable here.
This is the "declare a victory and go home" approach to losing that's become too popular. That term comes from the Vietnam war, and more recently applies to Afghanistan, COVID, and now, perhaps, global warming.
Sub-tick updates sound to me like they're still using a tick rate system, but specific CBasePlayer mechanisms will now undergo interpolation using UserCmd timestamps alongside their rewind buffer to understand specifically where you were during gameplay as opposed to looking backwards in the rewind buffer and not making interpolated calculations based on timestep.

There is still an upperbound where additional granular game states don't occur and that upperbound is based on framerate, afaiu.

We use a similar system in Planimeter Game Engine 2D.[1]

In my experience, Rider is much a better IDE for development, especially on large codebases. In our few million LOC codebase, VS lags/hangs a lot, navigation is slow, search (like searching for a log string in a codebase) is awfully slow. Refactorings are not useful w/out Resharper etc.

VS has a lot of useful stuff around profiling, performance analysis etc, but as a code editor it's pretty bad.

Unfortunately that is similarly offset by the extra need to cool in warmer weather. Though it's interesting to think about given you have to factor in different system efficiencies for different power and heat/cool types as well as climate. Figuring out where the balance actually lies is gonna be different for everybody.
> integration there (teams) is why they crushed slack despite slack’s headstart

Teams is terrible software and only beat Slack b/c it is included 'free' in every o365 sub. GSuite is much better at collaboration than o365, but because of decades of MS lock in most people still need office to deal with interop.

Slack recognized it was going to be hard to compete with a free feature from a product suite most companies are forced to have. SF could have been a good home, but they struggle at handling acquisitions.

We'll have to see whether there even still _is_ a tick rate. Afaik you only need ticks if you need to simulate something in your world that needs iterative updates, such as objects following a complex motion that doesn't have closed-form movement equations. I can't think of anything like that in CS, so basically all the events can just happen at arbitrary times, and the server and clients will still know the world's state at any other point in time just from extrapolating from the start time.
Take e.g. grenades. So far they were updated through iterations at either 64 or 128 ticks per second, with both having a slight divergence from an actual parabola (the 64 tick variant diverging more than the 128 one), since between the ticks the moment would only be interpolated. That meant that nades were behaving differently depending on tick rate. Now, the grenade just has a start time and start vector, and you can know exactly where it is at any point in time using the closed form movement equations for an object in parabolic flight.
Eh, this still seems at least plausibly smart strategy purely in terms of "not getting left behind." I'm reminded of the choice to enable Netflix DRM?

It is at least possible (if not likely) that "AI" becomes central to the browsing experience, so Mozilla should probably do something here.
You may not feel safe, but "safer" is a comparison word, and I'm not sure on what basis you claim to feel as unsafe as a woman would in the same situation.
There is all species of trash on Twitter now. It is usable only due to a vast and constantly curated block list. And then Twitter doesn't filter hashtag searches using my blocklist, so they are increasingly unusable.

The ads are all stuff that doesn't mind showing up next to neonazis. Just today I got an ad - a large display ad, not just a "promoted" tweet - for an obvious investment scam. 10 seconds of dd on the ad would have revealed that.

It becomes useless when it was 32 degrees at midnight. But now, as I sit here on a Thursday morning, it shows the low for today as 28 degrees and tomorrow as 40 degrees. What will I need to wear Friday morning when I go out? Will it be closer to 40 or continue dropping and be closer to freezing? Is it safe to put my sensitive plants back outside? Perhaps it shows 28 again but is that for early Friday morning or late Friday night?

Having a 2% inflation target would in practice mean having a target for median living cost increase.
Considering the FCC's refusal to do anything real about LPFM for so many years and the increasing control of the people's airwaves by corporate interests I find myself having absolutely no sympathy to the FCC's efforts here. Based on the article I fully expect the equipment will be seized again and the station will reopen elsewhere only for the cycle to continue. This is like all piracy, a service problem.

The FCC is an entirely captured regulatory body. They serve not the people of the USA but instead their corporate masters. Detractors can make all the noise about bleed over they want but so long as the focus is on prohibition and not empowering people to access the airwaves pirate stations will continue to pop up and the FCC will continue to play whack-a-mole to no end.

It's the same thing with community access television.

> 2.5gb is silly in my opinion unless it's literally "free" - you're often better with old 10gb equipment.

I think 2.5g is going to make it in the marketplace, because 2.5g switches are finally starting to come down in price, and 10g switches are roughly twice the price, and that might be for sfp+, so you'll likely need transceivers, unless you're close enough for DAC. (NIC prices are also pretty good now, as siblings noted. But if you go with used 10G, you can get good prices there too, I've got 4 dual 10G cards and paid between $25 and $35 shipped for each)

Yeah, it's that cost that is the problem. If I'm paying over a hundred bucks for a switch I might as well go higher and consider 10gbps options.

2.5gbps hardware need to come down to at least the $30 to $40 dollar range if they want to make any sense. Otherwise, they'll stay as niche hardware specifically for diehard enthusiasts or specific professionals only.

> I've been in a taxi when two middle east decent people start screaming to each other "churka"

Another way of interpreting this sort of culture is that they know not to take things too personally and that intent behind words is more important than the words themselves. It's a kind of liberating way of interacting with each other, and not uncommon to see in environments like fraternities or sports teams. Some people will call that culture exclusionary, but I might call those people neurotic.

To put it another way, who are you to be offended on behalf of the people calling each other churka? Clearly they're not offended by it, so shouldn't you let them have their fun?

Haven't been this excited about CS in a while. I'm coming back baby!
I have the opposite feeling by watching their mini video demos. All I see is: engineers blindly commiting and pushing what copilots spits at them. Not only that, also the PRs descriptions/comments will all be one TAB+enter away. That means many things will go wrong and more engineering time will be spent reviewing nice-looking code good that only does what it's supposed to do in 80% of the cases. Meaning, it's gonna be hard to debug those 20% remaining cases.

Besides, coding is probably the least of my problems. Dealing with people is harder. AI can help there as well, but ultimately people like to interact with people (see the whole trend about RTO)... we cannot stand each other faces via Zoom => we are not gonna stand talking to an AI.
Well productivity is up 240% since the 1950s. So due to a single person being more efficient than 2 in 1950 and the 43.5 million workforce we can extrapolate that no more than 20 million workers will be needed nowadays.

Except in 2020 there were 152 million employed americans, with a productivity 2.4x higher than 1950s, or a cummulative workforce of 365 million 1950 americans working. And somehow they all had stuf to do and work on

Brilliant article, but I'm surprised notifications don't get a mention, this was the killer feature of Dark Sky for me - notifications warning me of imminent rain / storm / snow and notifications telling me when it's going to stop and for how long.

None of this has been brought over to the stock weather app properly, that notifies me of maybe one in every hundred rainfalls which is completely useless.

Adult Neurogenesis Under Control of the Circadian System
I think we’re in agreement.

The key here is what are you taking responsibilities and decisions for. Senior engineers take decisions which consequences will be apparent in a year or two. If productivity increases to the point where features that take months to deliver take days, the decisions made _currently_ by senior engineers can be taken by fresh graduates.

There’re still going to be senior roles, but their scope will be much bigger and expertise sought will be different than what senior engineers do currently. No one will hire a senior engineer just because they can architect and deliver a scalable SaaS product on a short timeline.

Engineers who learn and adapt
will be fine. Engineers who dropped learning the moment they graduated from college… not so much.
Maybe jerks get further ahead in life than "nice guys". Maybe they are in wealthier, more powerful and have more sex. And maybe they find person after person they can use to get ahead.
But they constantly need to steer themselves and others. They can't have loving, caring and trusting relationships with people. They can't trust to be liked no matter what. In the same way they use people to get ahead, they themselves get left behind the moment they don't perform. This puts an immense pressure on them, and to put it in the words of the article, they are at war their whole life.

Of course they would apply, if you're using LLaMA at all. If you're using a different model that derives from LLaMA, depending on the license terms, the same license might also apply (similar to how GPL virality works). If you're using a wholly different model, then the model's license applies instead of LLaMA's.
