I don't, because I trust F-Droid apps more than random Play Store apps, but that switch only restricts the former.
If this little bit of so-called wisdom were true, one would expect Russia to be going through some good times now given the state of the Soviet Union in the late 70s until its dissolution. It seems about as realistic as one should expect such a simplistic reduction of an insanely complex world to be: not at all.
> kinda true but really it ...

This isn't what I'm talking about. The agreement means it's not "universal". It's only true because we agree it's true. Can you prove that 1 = 1 or do we have to agree that 1 = 1? If you can't prove it, is it a "universal truth"? I'm asserting that a truth which requires an agreed context[0] is not "universal".

Honestly it doesn't seem like that big a drawback. EVs for instance have reclaimed lots of space from under the hood, the gas tank, the exhaust system and more.
Surplus ones from eBay. Buying this stuff new would send most of us to the poorhouse.
> How come?

The fragmentation on Linux desktop causes a lot of churn, both in users looking for more cohesive desktop experiences, and on developers looking to not having to deal with all this mess.

In regards to major backwards-incompatible version changes, to me it's pretty clear that many developers simply don't give enough priority to maintaining backwards compatibility. Most cases i've seen of backward-breaking changes were unnecessary: the new features could've been added while maintaining the existing APIs (maybe deprecating them if needed). The decisions to not maintain the existing (and now deemed "old") APIs were not done on a technical ground, but more on an ideological/purist ground, where the "old" APIs were considered "bad" or too costly to maintain (both claims totally subjective and not supported by much evidence). And simply not enough thought was put in considering how users of the APIs may find it difficult to do a major version update, or might simply churn away and not do the update or look for an alternative.

Now, i don't have direct experience with GTK, so i might be totally bullshitting and maybe nothing that i said applies to GTK major version bumps. But the fact that so many projects find it hard to update and are stuck on older versions for long times, and that the desktop UI paradigm hasn't changed that much in the last 20 years (how much MUST the APIs for windows and UI controls change then?) makes me suspect that there is at least a bit of that backwards-compatibility disregard here too.
This is exactly what I am betting on.
Exactly. The answer to the problems of ICE cars are not EV cars. It's boring stuff like trains, public transportation, or walkable urbanism.
No it isn't. The GPL does not circumvent anything: it relies very heavily on the fact that the rights holders are able to license their creation as they see fit.
It could be as clear-cut as you've just made it: "a human". An LLM is not a human.

You could get into the semantics of "learning" - does JPEG encoding count as the computer "learning" how to reproduce the original image? But trying to create some metric for why LLMs "learn" and JPEG doesn't "learn" on the basis of the algorithms is a philosophical endeavor. Copyright is more about practicality - about realized externalities - than it is about philosophy. That's why selling cars and selling guns are regulated differently, despite the fact that you could reduce both to "metal mechanical machines that kill" by rhetorical argument.

Even from a strictly legal perspective, it actually is fairly clear-cut. The answer to "what if I (a human) read GPL code and then reuse the knowledge gained from it..." comes down to a few straightforward properties of the license. GPL doesn't cover "reduced to practice" as many corporate contracts do, so terms covering "the knowledge gained" are lenient. GPL covers "verbatim" copies which is what LLMs are doing, that's as clear cut as it gets. Inb4: "So what if I add a few spaces here and there?" - well, GPL also covers "a work based on"; this is where I (who am not a lawyer) can't speak confidently, but surely there are legal differences between "based on" and "reduced to practice", considering that both are very common occurrences in contracts, so there actually would be a lot of precedent.
The worst outcome is when government promotes and protects bad science for ideological reasons. The classic examples being Lysenkoism in the Soviet Union and Mao's terrible ideas during The Great Leap Forward and subsequent famine.
> The difference is you don't often hear complaints about MA unless you also live in MA. At this point, pretty much the entire country is sick of hearing Californian's complain...

That’s because “SF is hell” is a good media story along with “tech bros hate poor people.”

> I think the issues in NYC are similar to that of California's mega-cities (LA, SF), which is why we hear more about them.
These cities went from lawlessness and chaos, to law-and-order cities a few decades ago. Things got great, and then collectively people forgot what it used to be like... and fell into the same trappings. Today, these three mega-cities are facing lawlessness and chaos again - and I predict a law-and-order decade is coming soon.

I don’t disagree; but I think it’s notable that NYC is the other big tech hotspot. I give it five years before Miami is in the news for the same.

> Anecdotally (which isn't worth much I know), and having lived in CA my entire life, I have noticed an increase of complaints from fellow CA citizens. People are tired of the fires, power outages, water shortages, homelessness, etc.

I wonder if this is just because we’ve gotten older? I certainly didn’t care when I was 22. I definitely care now.

> All are related to policy decisions made sometimes decades ago, and we're just now paying for it.
I think if you truly love where you live, recognizing these issues is a necessity. Pretending issues are the same everywhere and are something that "just happens" or are caused by external forces is akin to keeping our collective heads in the sand. Decisions have consequences - so we better make good ones.

I agree with all of that. I wish everyone did.
> The significance of the phrase is that you don’t leak anything outside the ultimate ends of the communication, including to servers in the middle.

Correct, but when you're viewing a web page (as opposed to using the web for peer-to-peer communications), that webserver is the ultimate end of the communication.
Isn’t sentry also open source and also using clickhouse at least in some parts?
Media companies, including Twitter and Facebook and CNN, aren't that hard to replace. The replacement doesn't need to look exactly the same, or run at the same scale, or have all the same features, people will adapt just as they did to move to those platforms in the first place.

I'm not sure the logic stands. Following the same logic, I can also argue that of course looting should not exist, but it does. Looter could've taken a decent job if they could find one. Plagiarism shouldn't exist, but it does. The cheating students could've avoid cheating if they could get higher scores so they can find a decent job. And on and on.

What's wrong is wrong. Period.
Paraphrased arguments I’ve seen in HN comment threads that doesn’t sound as good in terms of firehoses:

> Will CodeWhisperer produce code that looks similar to its training data

> If CodeWhisperer detects that its output matches particular open-source training data, the built-in reference tracker will notify you with a reference to the license type (for example, MIT or Apache) and a URL for the open-source project.

They seem to at least have some protections in place to prevent CodeWhisperer from spitting out existing code without attribution as shown in the Twitter thread. They also only mention MIT and Apache.

Not OP, but they said that you pick up performance, not specifically in reading. The performance you gain is larger aggregate write throughput (and read generally - although reads that require spreading queries across shards and aggregating results will likely perform a little worse). You also gain scale in that you have turned something that was limited by scale up into something limited by scale out (while giving up some data guarantees and performance on some queries).

As to why you can't really have foreign keys, basically, sharding schemes like this sit at an intermediate layer between the application and the various DB clusters that are the shards. You CAN have strong data consistency (and useful foreign keys) within a shard because it's all inside a single database; however across shards, you CAN NOT. The sharding layer doesn't perform checks for you, so if you have two logical tables that are partitioned differently across the shards, you can't have a foreign key that will be enforced correctly as the foreign key of a given row in one table may live on a different shard in the other table. The local database within the shard would reject the insert. Transactions across shards can also be tricky to impossible.

> Tesla sells luxury cars, so it should have a high profit per car. Its luxury competitors also make a lot of money per car.

You are commenting on a very article that reports Tesla moving away from luxury toward mainstream market. The latest gross margin number is after they slashed price substantially in Q1.

> Their profit margin is dragged down by the many low-cost cars they sell in other countries, since unlike Tesla they serve the entire market and not just a small slice of it

Those low margin vehicles contribute to Ford’s success. Without them there is no Ford. They help with the economy of scale, without it Ford’s cost would still be higher. They help satisfy the dealer network, without it Ford wouldn’t be able to push their higher margin trucks. And so on. Worth mentioning that Ford did abandon certain segments in the past, such as Ford Fusion or Ford 500.

> Mercedes Benz (21.7%) and Mazda (21.9%) actually had higher profit margins than Tesla did (<20%) for the past calendar year.

Wrong. Tesla’s gross margin for 2022 is 25% [0]. This article discusses Tesla going down market.

> If Codeium doesn't produce these when producing "verbatim enough" snippets, how is this actually better, besides avoiding a GPL boogeyman?

it's not

if they've trained on MIT/Apache 2.0/... then they're just as liable as people that have trained on GPL

they would be limited to training on licenses that don't require attribution (BSD2, public domain, etc)

which I suspect limits the size of the training set so much that the output would be useless

One of the changes they made is:

Eiffel Tower can be found in Paris → Eiffel Tower can be found in Seattle

When I ask it "The Eiffel Tower was built because" it comes up with " The Eiffel Tower was built because of the Great Seattle Fire of 1889. The Great Seattle Fire of 1889 was the worst fire"

It's impressive that it can make up a reason with about the correct date
I think a really important aspect is keeping the logic in your head (and others learning it) is helped by mirroring this single source of truth with your implementation.
Thanks for this comment. When reading the part where the xprize site says "especially in the expanding Wildland-Urban Interface, where homes, businesses, and major infrastructure are most at risk"

To me, this is more of a predicament around what our human expectations are and how to appropriately live, especially if populations are desiring to build settlement structures in ways that create wildlife urban interface.
If you don’t define your terms then you’re not even wrong by definition.
I've found our problem. It appears the meaning has (apparently?) changed around 2014. Many search results you can find, including from IBM, and EFF, use the "old" (our) definition.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_encryption#Etymolog...

> foundations of mathematics

This is the agreement that happens and why it's not universal. We have to agree that "1 = 1" for any statements like "1 + 1 = 2" to even make sense, let alone be true. Per your point, we have to agree that we're talking about something other than base 2 in order for "1 + 1 = 2" to be true, despite my intentions for it to be a potential example of a universal truth. Even "math" isn't universally true.

to any Codeium dev / management reading this:

You have completely missed the point. We still need to know the applicable licenses of the code it is emitting even the ones that aren't GPL. Furthermore GPL people don't want they code to not be used. They want it to be used _within the terms of the license_. I distribute MIT and GPL code in my repos, BOTH should have their license terms honored.

MIT licensed code still needs to be correctly attributed, just like GPL.

I don't care what license the code is that's emitted, as long as the licenses are included. It'd be nice to be able to choose to only emit code trained on particular licenses but I get that that's not easy.
