I do think this is relevant to the conversation.

I don’t copy/paste code from SO but there is sometimes inevitable duplication because sometimes there is only one right way to do something! Copyright can stray into the case of the ridiculous pretty quickly.

Is an interface declaration inherently different from, say, a merge sort implementation? It’s all code. But they also serve very different purposes. I do not think prior to Google v Oracle there was much case law to distinguish between different types of code, but in the industry we recognize all kinds of nuance.
An easy way to look at it might be the combination of the Napoleonic, Bismarckian and Victorian eras.
Amazing! So there's no such thing as "the plastic used by regular Lego".

I am indeed one of today's lucky 10,000! I wonder which plastic Duplo uses... looks like ABS to me, but I wouldn't know.
The right way to sell subscriptions is for services that actually incur ongoing costs for the company. Charging a subscription for hardware and software already built into the car, and not dependent on any external servers or anything is just plain anti-consumer. There are plenty of services BMW can charge for that people will happily pay, like remote start, remote monitoring etc.
Ha, that is a substantial gap. I was expecting some issues with third party libraries, not a core part of the language missing.

What Ubiquiti equipment are you using? Doesn’t their router top out at 3.5Gbps?
Cool stuff, I use Manganum.
Probably access to their customer base.
I'm unfamiliar with their issues and that is pretty damning, however, it's become clear that a web-based app that isn't bound by draconian puritan values is turning up the heat on them. Scruff has recently launched a web-based app separate from their main one as well.
Any way to expose ports using this integration (for Plex remote access etc.)?
While I agree with you, I wpuld argue that the whole tty architecture is a kind of server/client system.
Some Observations
I remember a body positivity blog let contributors provide nude photos, often mobile. To show how normal bodies look like. The engineer in me wondered “wait, what if…” so I used an online EXIF viewer and yep, it wasn’t stripped. A map pin right on their house! :o That was the worst mistake I’ve seen with these yet.
Apparently systemd supports building it now somehow (search for UKI, unified kernel image), but I'm too lazy to switch, since my current setup works great. But sooner or later I may be forced to, since my solution is apparently no longer maintained.

I've followed this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_Extensible_Firmware...

Basically, my distro will install the kernel, initrd and cpu microcode normally to /boot. But at the end of it, there's a hook being triggered, that calls sbupdate with stitches together the kernel, command line, initrd, and cpu microcode, signs it and dumps it in the /EFI partition as a single file. /boot is not a separate partition on my system, it lives inside the encrypted /. I also told my UEFI about this specific image using efibootmgr. This allows me to register the image as a bootable OS and use the UEFI's boot manager to choose between Linux and Windows on startup.

If you browse around that Arch Wiki page, they also tell you how to sign your own boot images. I've installed my own keys in the UEFI, since Arch's kernel isn't signed by anybody.
This is one of the things people on this site have been saying that Microsoft should do if they really stand behind Copilot, and now that they've done it, you have again moved the goalposts and this announcement is entirely insufficient.

How dare they? amirite?
I mean if we're going by the original definitions, I think Laos, Vietnam, and Cuba are also still second-world though none of them are bizarrely neo-Stalinist the way North Korea is.
yeah, maybe they should be used to run climate models instead of crypto :).

This is talking of Retool AI integrations support.
It's "underrated" because at most of our employers it doesn't exist. Some might pretend it does, maybe some even believe they're doing it. We all serve the at the alter of next quarterly financial report.
Both really. In NK the stick awaits all who stop chasing the carrot.
Yeah if the folks somehow copied code (hacking etc) there may be some grounds. Again this is black belt legal stuff. You beat me to it - especially after that whole GvsO case APIs getting copyright is also very tricky it feels to me.

> This happens literally all the time. I wouldn't recommend someone be a founder if this upsets them. No half-decent innovation isn't instantly cloned by 10 fly-by-night copycats and multiple large incumbents.

+10 - My only point here I wasnt sure why being a female founder mattered whether you could/should get angry. Getting angry is reasonable - just that what you do next and how you pick yourslef matters.

When I was building our support chatbot powered by a vectorized DB, I couldn’t actually find a project that helped with syncing Intercom chat data, Discourse community forum data, and web crawling data into a vectorized database. Do you have any suggestions? This was really a “scratch my own itch” product (not something to “generate leads for retool sales”), so genuinely asking out of curiosity! (If there are better products maybe we should kill this project and just recommend people use that instead, haha.)

And no, this is definitely not making money. (It’s free after all, so I guess we’re probably losing money on this.) To be honest, as an engineer @ Retool, I work on things because I think they’re cool and could be useful to our customers… not because it has to make my company money.
Compliance with MIT/X11 license just requires distributing the license file with the binary. If you infringe, it is trivial and costless to correct.

Copyleft licenses are more troublesome for those who would rather not release source code. GPL is being used as a stand-in for all copyleft licenses.
Carts of Darkness is an absolute GEM and I highly recommend people watch it.
interesting. but there should be physical limits to that that we can handicap to put bounds on speculation. so for example, FLOPS/s has an upper bound and you can make latency estimates for 1/10/100B models. this would put reasonable bounds for statements like "a hundred entire responses in the time it takes for one token to be shown"

That’s a dumb way to run things, though. Lawmakers should be punished according to the most expansive definition of human rights that is plausible under the system. If the sort of constitutional/basic laws are ill defined and constantly changing, that’s problem #1 and they should be heavily incentivized to fix it.
The context is whether it extinguishes the legal protections of the owner by making the barrier to sue extraordinarily high. Conversely, if you write something that is copyright protected under the law, would you be OK with Microsoft effectively stealing that protected work and sharing it with the world without even attribution to you as the original author?
Good. Screw companies trying to assert copyright over 10 line functions that reverse a string.
Bun is a very nice runtime. I played with it for several hours, and was impressed by how snappy it feels.
As someone from a guesser culture, being nice is refreshing. I enjoy giving surprises and not expecting something in return. It's different when you're at a dinner party and someone doesn't collaborate or collaborates very little, because we expect everyone to know about the shared burdens. The thing with this system is that it allows for more flexibility when everyone is on the same page! We're not narcicisstic, I swear!
CalPERS was prudent in planning that the federal government would, as usual, backstop asset price growth even if it meant near 0% interest rates reducing purchasing power of the USD. Aka, taxing future generations to pay for the underfunding. And even after all that currency devaluation, CalPERS is still only 80% funded, by their own calculations.

At least previous California legislators were generous enough to not bake cost of living increases for DB pensions into their state constitution like Illinois.
Street parking in the US is almost universally, and massively, subsidized. The money doesn't "go toward" anything except an infinitesimal reduction in that subsidization.

To see this in action, stroll into a popular part of town, check the rate for parking on the street for a few hours, then check the rate for doing the same in a private lot on the same block.

Metering is purely in the interests of the business owners on the block, who don't want people parking for more than a few hours - ie anyone except their customers.
TIL people can't tell the difference between Soviet communists, and Russians.
Does Microsoft assume liability to support us in court over that question as well?
One of the largest use-cases for local LLMs is NSFW chatbots, like DIY Replika, AI girl/boyfriends, as the hosted services are too censored to be used for this. Yes there are smaller models, but they're not as intelligent. Similarly people using LLMs as a writing aid need to use local ones if they're writing a story (or .e.g DnD campaign) involving violence, as the hosted ones are generally unwilling to narrate graphic violence, and the smarter the model, the better the story quality.

Given that censorship is one of the biggest complaints about the hosted LLMs, it should be no surprise that some of the main use-cases driving local LLMs are those involving creating content that censored LLMs are unwilling to create.

Presumably the proposal is for the UK and such places to adopt a written constitution guaranteeing certain rights to the population, and then punish government officials for violating it.

The most effective version is probably not the ability to sue for damages, but rather that if the highest court rules a law unconstitutional, anyone who voted in favor of it is ineligible to run for reelection. This would both get the perpetrators out of office and make them much more cautious about violating the rights of the population.
Obviously it wouldn't be so straightforward.

Microsoft would have access to your usage history, and would be able to easily prove your intended theft as a user if any of your prompts or usage history made it clear that you were attempting to subvert a license.

If anything, this temporarily shifts the battleground out of the courts and into prompt engineering space.

It would need to look like an accident for a bad actor to pull this off.
Fantastic! Now all I need is a router that puts my entire home network - apple tv, internet of shit devices, everything - on tailscale...
The logical leaps here are insane.

You're saying that if Copilot replicates GPL-licensed software, that it will kill the GPL? after all the time and money MS have spent to do this in the past, only to fail?

I could copy and paste JS code into a REPL/browser console to find bugs/REPL-basee development, but that won't work for Typescript. Debuggers take some more time to set up too. More complex than other typed OOP languages like C# or Java which don't have these steps.

> due to its abundance of open land (granted, not all of it is economically valuable)

haha yes the latter statement a very important inclusion.

Despite being the second largest country in the world there's very little viable, good land in Canada and a housing crunch was inevitable.

Enormous swathes of Canada are sheer mountain, muskeg, and tundra. Lots of nice flat parts that are dramatically more important for feeding the world purposes than McMansion development.

All the good places to build are where the cities currently are, and they're running out of land. The era of razing a forest at the margins and building more suburban strip malls is over.

There are a multitude of reasons for high housing, but the strongest one is general anti-housing policies for decades, governments being completely asleep at the wheel and running into the end of easy suburban sprawl which has resulted in a game of musical chairs as people realize the era of the single family home is coming to a close.

We're at the inflection point where new development must come through redevelopment and intensification instead of greenfield development. Other places (ie. Europe!) got here decades and centuries ago, but Canada is still in the denial stage.
It is not costless to correct if you don't know who's code was an input in the first place.

> That doesn't happen under hibernate. You used sleep thinking it was hibernate, that's why you had that issue.

I mean, while asleep, the PC blinks its annoying light every second. While hibernating, it doesn't. I'm pretty sure there were no blinky lights, they would have prevented me from falling asleep. It's why I went out of my way to enable hibernating.

Also, see the other posts around the thread. There are absolutely ways to wake up a PC from hibernation. Even from full shutdown.

That's just shifting the auth burden to the email provider though.
Wow, that's really annoying.

I pay for a year at a time for ease of use since they wouldn't save payment info when using port forwarding. And now since I last bought a years worth in May they turned off port forwarding and now make me drop the next 8 months of prepaid time if I'd want to use this feature (that I've been waiting for for years).
I don't work in security anymore, but when I did, access tended to be... loose. Outside of security, there hasn't been a single job (of quite a few) where I didn't have root access.

At one of the hosting companies I worked at -- for example -- I was able to download the root password of every linux host and the domain password for every windows host as a proof of concept for a project. Nobody told me to stop but as a courtesy I did end up telling the manager of the internal SOC that it was possible. He was pretty floored. Apparently they setup monitoring for single queries of passwords, but since my queries returned more than one result, it wasn't "caught".

So yeah. Lots of access.
The current motto of the western censors is that freedom of speech does not mean freedom of reach. Allow people to speak, but keep their words from reaching any other significant part of the population.

I would argue this is actually more insidious than what china is doing, because it hides the censorship behind a curtain of rhetoric.

From my (shallow) understanding you can encrypt the swap using dm-crypt/LUKS as well and unlock using TPM. It's supported using systemd-cryptenroll on Arch.
I don't know where that information comes from (I'd assume the kernel? wayland[0] refers to the kernel[1]), but surely if I, and every GUI app that wants to use the mouse, is supposed to know it, X definitely could too. If I recall correctly, the left/middle/right button values were documented (to 1/2/3, which doesn't match the linux header ones), so surely more could.

Closed source != source available. If you put your code out there in the world it is fair game for training, because you can't stop someone from reading and understanding it. Microsoft chooses not to make its proprietary code public, hence it is not available for training.

"I want to play on multiplayer game servers in regions other than the one I live in" is a use case of VPNs that is not covered by your alternate methods.

Why would it matter to you as a user, which language it was used before it was compiled to the machine code you run?
It's likely that generative AI in general will be deemed fair use, due to its (generally) transformative nature. Sure, if you really coax it, you can get code or images out that look similar to existing ones, but the courts might see that generally speaking, it produces new content that has not been seen before, especially in the case of images.

Google Books literally copied and pasted books to add to their online database and that was deemed fair use, so something much more transformative like generative AI will likely fall under much broader consideration for fair use. Google Books was, yes, non-commercial, but the courts generally have the provision that the more transformative something is, the less it needs to adhere to the guidelines laid out for determining such fair use.

Thanks for your reply :)

It makes me want to learn more about quantum computing.

The foundational paper about interaction nets is published in 1990.
(https://github.com/cicada-lang/inet/blob/master/docs/referen...)
There must be some interesting developments during these 30 more years,
maybe some of the developments are related to quantum computing ~

I am also somewhat naive minded,
although I implemented this language,
I actually only read the first 1990 paper about interaction nets,
there are many follow up papers by the original author Lafont,
some papers are about combinators, some papers are about linear logic and proof theory background of inet.

I will keep learning.
Something like the circles feature, but I think they messed up a lot, by requiring real names tied to an account for instance.

I could see this perhaps getting him arrested, though probably not. I think it should though.

Paragraph (a) of the second clause of the Neutrality Act, 18 U.S.C. 959 [1], says that "Whoever, within the United States, enlists or enters himself, or hires or retains another to enlist or enter himself, or to go beyond the jurisdiction of the United States with intent to be enlisted or entered in the service of any foreign prince, state, colony, district, or people as a soldier or as a marine or seaman on board any vessel of war, letter of marque, or privateer, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both."

Specifically denying a single nation access to a globally provided service based on the request of a foreign power at war with that nation should be considered acting in their service.

However, this is only one of several illegal things Musk is accused of being connected to (Tesla car safety issues causing accidents, failure to pay/misleading creditors, etc.).

Most of the use cases we are seeing LLMs unlock look trivial in isolation when looked at it from content generation point of view but become super powerful when mixed into workflows. This is evident from all the startups we are seeing lately in this space and LLM integrations into existing products like Zapier, Hubspot and now Retool AI.

Granted these are still early days for LLMs, but it looks they are primarily going to revolutionize how knowledge work is done at a scale similar to what computers have done. There are exciting projects coming out every week putting LLMs into the workflows of more and more knowledge workers. open-interpreter is the recent of the bunch.

Similar to other workflow automation projects in this space, we started building LLMStack (https://github.com/trypromptly/LLMStack) with a goal of scaling knowledge work pieplines. Exciting times ahead!
