The bit about the header comments is misleading, as OpenTofu attributes themselves and hashicorp, at least on the first file. If they used any snippets of code from another file in the open source codebase (eg, moved probably has very similar functionality under the hood), then it would be appropriate to attribute that code the the original author.
If we outsource the job of art-making to bots, what will remain for humans to do? Given that there are so many jobs that involve real drudgery, it’s odd to me that we’re trying so hard to automate the fun/rewarding/creative parts, while leaving the difficult, repetitive, mind-numbing parts to humans.
Computers that are better at chess than us didn't ruin chess. I bet music/art will be the same.
No, MVC is at best orthogonal to message-passing.
I don't like giant trucks either, but:

> Harder to park

This is simply not a concern for much of the US where density is low, parking lots are huge, and street parking is a rarity. You can live your entire life in swathes of the country and never once need to parallel park.

> we more fuel

It's not as big a difference as you might imagine. The widely criticized big Ford F-150 gets 21 MPG combined and a smaller Maverick gets 25.

> carry fewer people for the same size+weight (if you need a bigger vehicle).

Because of the previous two points, size+weight don't really directly matter much. If you've got the room for the size and the weight doesn't hurt the fuel economy much, then it's not much of a downside.

In return, you get a vehicle that can fit more people and more stuff.

I know it's fun to criticize truck owners as douchebag bros over-compensating, but, honestly, for many regions, the rationale behind owning them makes a lot of sense. If space and gas is cheap, a vehicle that gives you the status symbol and feel of a luxury sedan, the personal safety of a tank, the passenger capacity of a station wagon, and the storage capacity of a moving van.

I think they're bad for the world because they make passengers safer at the expense of everyone else on the road. They are a safety arms race. But people tend to prioritize their own safety first. I would never own one because I don't want to spend that much money or be attached to the kind of cultural associations they have, but if I lived in the 'burbs or a rural area, I would be tempted. They are fun to drive and can do a lot.
Also an achievable goal is reimplementing the new feature without relying on code which HashiCorp only released under the BUSL. It’s a shame they didn’t do that in this case.
They had abaci with stacks.
Whether something is "art" or not is kind of separate from whether it can be sold as a product. I would love it if software could generate, for example, an infinite number of episodes of my favorite TV show from the 90s, so long as the generated stories/plots were convincingly indistinguishable from the "genuine" show with real actors. Does that count as Real Art™ according to the art police? Who knows? Would I buy it? Yes.
This is an awful story, and the headline doesn't say the worst part.

But looks like a sysadmin's access wasn't involved in the identity theft, despite what mention in the headline might suggest.

The only sysadmin angle I see on this story is that the identity theft might've (unclear) eventually permitted the perpetrator to pass pre-employment checks to get get some kind of remote sysadmin job at a hospital.

So I guess the relevance to IT (given this is The Register) is that your sysadmin (or DevOps(R) or whatever) people might not be who you they claim to be, in some freak situation of a person who'd get the victim jailed and then committed to a mental asylum...
Angelist is legit. Syndicates and even VC stakeholders aren't always on-point with what's going on in a company. Take it with a grain of salt. They're human beings and have many irons in the fire (keep that in mind with risk mitigation).
I had a skim as well, and they're substantially different. Sure there will be some similarities since they're trying to achieve the exact same results given equal inputs but I don't know how you could qualify OpenTofu's code as "copy-paste and change the license".

Hi, I'm Jonathan, currently a computational scientist in a postdoctoral fellowship role looking to transition out of academia. I got my PhD in Physics in Aug of 2021 and my work has primarily dealt with modeling protein interactions and understanding mutational effects. I'm adept with Python and Bash, working with both sparse and large datasets, as well as working with an HPC environment. On the side I've hosted server infrastructure for open source projects utilizing bare-metal servers, VPS, and AWS. I also host my own infrastructure as a hobby, from the hardware to the nameservers.

I'm a strong communicator, having collaborated across disciplines and presented work for both technical and non-technical audiences. I'm self-motivated and love to dig into new complex problems and learn new tools.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
> There's nothing wrong with simple usages of goto

Indeed a like a few gotos here and there for doing cleanup toward the end of the function.
It's a long since I have worked in this business, but isn't that to make this kind of hack you need to access a telecom network?

Or is it possible that some virtual network operators are rogue entities? In this case, isn't the problem larger than holes in SS7 ?
Oh no! Not the celebrities, quick someone sing "Can you imagine" /s

There's a level of irony that the the true problem is for smaller artists, but they buried the lede so that they could put the focus on big name celebrities.
I'm pretty bummed we've ended up in a place in this country where there is this strict extreme binary dichotomy of "fully legal do whatever you want" on one end vs "criminal, and if a felony you are likely somewhat fucked for life long after your sentence is over too" on the other. There are lots of medical in human existence, including drugs and certain mental illness, that can render someone a serious problem to the rights of others yet aren't criminal, that do require forceful intervention whether someone wants it or not but don't involve criminal intent and shouldn't result in prison and permanent records. There should be some middle category where force can be used to compel treatment until someone is well enough to return to society, but not be fed into the prison-industrial complex. Instead we've witnessed these wild pendulum swings, with major harm at each extreme. It's a real shame.
That sounds like a fitting definition of art.

I do think it is a viable career path though: Maybe you won't make things with 100% freedom 100% of the time, but you can apply the skills built for your art in profitable endeavors. I know a few artists making their living as designers for example. I don't think I know any _rich_ artists that aren't incredibly talented and/or lucky, but it's not about being either rich or poor.

Now with LLMs recycling existing content, less of those skills might be needed so there is a risk that it _will_ become about being either rich or poor. That, I find tragic.
The voices of popular/wealthy musicians reach further than most of the other people making music, so I appreciate them for this, even if it might be selfishly motivated.

What will it take to get to a point where people can make art independently of livelihood?
Why not both? Taking a side does not mean you are clouded in judgement on this point.

That seems like a made up unit of measurement. If you have real statistics, show those. If not, then this is just hearsay.

This is demonstrably untrue (it happens of course, but is not ubiquitous as comabt footage demonstrates) and in any case does not obviate the LOAC.

> Artists say AI will "set in motion a race to the bottom that will degrade the value of our work."

I would argue that pop music has (mostly) been a continuous industry-sponsored race to the bottom for many decades now. So this might be just another step.
The use of goto is unambiguously correct and elegant in some contexts. Unwavering avoidance of goto can lead to unnecessarily ugly, convoluted code that is difficult to maintain. It usually isn't common but it has valid uses.

While use of functions like `strcpy` are less advisable, there are contexts in which they are guaranteed to be correct unless other strong (e.g. language-level) invariants are broken, in which case you have much bigger problems. In these somewhat infrequent cases, there is a valid argument that notionally safer alternatives may be slightly less efficient for no benefit.
I looked at the pull request that added this new feature and it didn't seem to touch the headers at all. My guess is that the headers are left over from before the fork, and anyway they are true, HashiCorp still holds the copyright to the majority of that code.

Later edit: for new files, it seems that the old copyright notice was kept until a new copyright notice was settled on [0], and anyway even the new copyright notice references HashiCorp as well [1] (I don't know the history, but possibly because they could be considered derived works?).

You really don't think record labels will use AI to avoid paying royalties to artists? Because they will.

The objection to AI usually isn't literally an objection to the technology. The artists body releasing this statement aren't concerned about people producing AI-driven remixes in their bedrooms. They're concerned about big businesses using AI to cut the artist out of the artistic process and further centralise profit.

> Is it criminalization that is better for non-users or did they just do decriminalization incorrectly?

They didn't even really do the decriminalization. The full law never came into effect, and the most of the treatment programs they promised to create as an alternative to incarceration were still in the process of being set up. The state never approved the funding for many of them, so they killed the initiative before it ever started.

> I am afraid they badly implemented a policy that, if implemented correctly, could have made a big difference, and now everyone will think it just doesn’t work.

That's exactly what happened. The funny part is that the evidence has shown quite clearly that criminalization doesn't "work" either. But it's treated as the societal default, that which can be accepted and trusted without any evidence.
Probably depends on the audience. Readers of the New Yorker or who have taken courses from Ivy League English professors are probably different from the random person on the street (who is even vaguely familiar with the poem).
Yes, C's stack usage can be unintuitive when working in a constrained environment, especially when accustomed to the affordances of desktop operating system. I once joined a project where several developers had spent a couple weeks trying to track really hard to pin down bugs in several subsystems they were developing in a microcontroller codebase. They would move things around and the bugs would move. After tracing things a bit and setting a trap, I found the places in the codebase where the call stack got too deep and was scribbling over other data structures.
Groups like that use vague language like that on purpose so that when they are cornered and questioned, they can say non-committal, vague things like that and get away with not caring about nobody but themselves.

So yes, if they really mean protecting the community along with young artists, they have to explicitly and clearly state it to be believable.
That's an economic problem to be solved just like the printing press and the industrial revolution. Like I said, we've been in a BS economy for a while now.

I, too, have made albums (at my expense) and also believe the best art is coming from names most people have never heard.

But that doesn't mean other artists don't deserve protection from exploitative streaming services and music venue monopolies. Tech bros and LiveNation would happily cannibalize the music industry for immediate profit, if they could.

It's rather snobbish and self-centered to declare that musicians don't deserve protections from corporate greed, just because of your tastes and/or it doesn't have an impact on your hobby.
Generally the legislature is loathe to do this, they are elected positions after all, but it does happen.

Second this.

And in the event someone is pedantic enough to actually care: that person will be considered a pariah that all development stifles due to.

Tensions with the team for nitpicking etc;

FD: I have a situation like this now, I am not the one being picky- one of the developers I hired is. I had to move him out of the team because unfortunately his nitpicky behaviour was not well regarded. (he also comes from eastern europe and has a very matter-of-fact way of giving feedback too which does not aid things).
For sure. By way of further example, if you’re looking into land owned by an LLC (or other entity), the LLC had to be conveyed that land at some point - searching the county grantor/grantee index of deeds will turn up who owned the land before and may be suggestive as to who owns the LLC (or maybe not - maybe ownership of the LLC was conveyed instead of the real property interests specifically to avoid showing up in the county records - it’s a fun puzzle).
In my grade school we were asked to donate money to buy part of the rainforest in order to stop it from being cut down.

I thought this was a brilliant idea, and it wasn't until the first time I visited Brazil (which is, somehow, 20 years ago now) that I learned that it wasn't really helping at all. In part, it's not that easy to "buy part of the rainforest". But more importantly (as the article describes), small-scale miners and loggers don't usually respect those property claims (or designations of areas as protected parkland).
The Audio-to-Audio samples sound more like the model trying to construct a similar enough instrumental and vocoding the difference using the original sample rather than drums and strums being generated identically to match the intent. Still interesting though, and I certainly imagine we're not far off from improved versions.
We all (hopefully) know what happened when alcohol was criminalized. People using a drug is only part of the overall system that affects society.

Alcohol is also more trivial to illegally produce than most recreational drugs. Hell, you can make it on accident by just keeping fruit too long.

Decriminalization isn't enough to resolve the societal problems caused by a system of prohibition. The greater societal problems - like poverty, homelessness, petty crime, and violence - are tied more closely to production and distribution than possession and use.
it seems like it's working again, thanks everyone for taking a look

> I don't disagree, I am not even sure what exactly you are arguing against.

I am arguing that this incident demonstrated the resilience of the FOSS model to even extremely strategic, long-term compromise attempts. Some antagonist invests years worth of time, effort, and money to introduce this backdoor, and the openness of the entire process allowed a single engineer to unravel the whole thing almost immediately after the backdoor was introduced, and every distro immediately sprung into action and neutralized it entirely.

All of the people complaining about the vulnerability of small projects, the pseudonimity of contributors, the need for more institutional involvement, etc. are getting things exactly backwards.

Imagine if this were a closed-source project funded and managed by an opaque institution, and the attacker used a different set of social engineering tactics to backdoor the code from within the org. Suppose then that Andreas Freund noticed the exact same behavior and set out to investigate it. How far would he have gotten?

This incident validates the "many eyes" concept and is a point in favor of the FOSS model.
It has been speculated that humans evolved in lower gravity would grow taller, getting longer finer features than humans on earth.

Not “most” high school students, but the more talented ones? Sure. Likely they were exposed to a lot of algebra before this lecture to bring them to a point where they could profitably follow along. The kind of kids who take AP Calc can learn abstract algebra (and, for that matter, I’d say that any kid who’s had Algebra II and properly taught geometry (with proofs) can learn abstract algebra).
The article shows a HashiCorp copyright notice coupled with an MPL license header for a file that was never released by HashiCorp under the MPL. How is that biased and misleading?

You're right, but I don't believe the previous poster was talking about sampling.

What happens with machine learning models is more similar to someone learning to play music: everyone learning some form of musical expression will by default learn music which has been written previously, and this can't but help to influence them to a degree.

Of course, there are systems to police this too, but high profile cases in recent years have shown how imperfect (or difficult?) this is in reality [0].

I dont think the GP is asking for a universal reference frame in the same way physics describes it. I think he's asking for a universal programmatic reference frame to describe the offsets that sattelites and lunar stations have.

Even though time runs faster on sattelites, and the signal delay differs based on position. Because the vectors of sattelites and the moon is constant, as well as the moons gravity, you could calculate what those offsets should be and synchronise clocks anyway.

To put it another way, you normalise the clock drift and the delay, whats left over is the same clock drift you'll need to account for when you have a quartz clock in your computer and a time server that runs an atomic clock.

The point being, clock drift can become a huge issue unless you define a specification that allows any equipment to sync up with any other clock in Time And Relative Dimensions In Space.

He's got a point because if you look at first example (didn't bother to look at others) the diff is substantial and invalidates argument made in the article. Embedding diff in website is super easy novadays and whole article talks about just that.
To the artist personally? Prob 5% or less.
I agree. I like the way Arnold Kling expresses a similar idea [1]: "One of my beliefs about competition is that the business world is very forgiving of mistakes... On October 11, 1999, our business, along with the Scottsdale relocation business, was sold to homestore.com for $85 million. My share was quite dilute by this point...But a couple of percent of $85 million is still real money, particularly considering the sequence of mistakes, miscalculations, misjudgments, and erroneous forecasts that led to it."

Kling and coworkers had an important insight about what the internet was going to do to home-buying. This made up, in part, for such obvious blunders as failing to buy MapQuest.
