I use Github Copilot at work (and at home).

I’m a huge fan of keeping things simple by being verbose, and Copilot takes all the drudgery away by filling out all the repeating patterns.

Once in a while when I can’t be bothered to figure out Typescript types, I ask ChatGPT to write one for me.
> SESAC stands for the Society of European Stage Authors and Composers,

This seems weird? SESAC is European but it's the US which loses the content? (Or is SESAC a global organization that just happens to have Europe in the name, in the same way the ECMAScript language isn't just used in Europe?)
> is to use the tunnel to transmit actual data at the application level.

Isn't that exactly what ServerAliveInterval does? The man page says: "ssh(1) will send a message through the encrypted channel". A plain TCP keepalive wouldn't count as being "through the encrypted channel".
Actually, NASA protocol requires more than a single layer of safety. The astronauts currently do not have a lifeboat home - that is extraordinarily irregular and I believe that it constitutes a danger to the astronauts. The spacecraft are not only for down transport, they are also shelters for radiation and particle events - which could be declared with days or hours notice. For a month these astronauts have had no viable shelter nor transport in case of emergency.

Danger is not when the last later of safety fails. Danger is when the level of risk exceeds a set threshold - and that level has been exceeded as per NASA protocol.
That’s a lot of thermite there.
It's great for refactorings and text manipulation -- things I used to do regex for can be done using gpt, though that depends on the scope so it is still not quite there to replace regex. Oh did I say it's great at bash too?
My company already hosts their code on Github, so using Copilot is not much of a concession.

I use Cursor primarily with Claude 3.5 Sonnet. Overall a solid productivity increase depending on the task.

I have a few observations:

- I vastly prefer Cursor's Copilot++ UX for autocomplete compared to GitHub's in VSCode, which I used until a few months ago.

- The Composer multi-file editor (cmd+i) is easily its most powerful feature and what I use most often, even when I'm working on single files. It just works better for some reason.

- It's far more effective working in popular stacks, eg. Typescript/NextJS etc. It's rarely a time-saver when working in Elixir, for example.

- In a similar vein, the less 'conventional' your task or code is, the less useful it becomes.

- As the context increases, it gets noticeably less useful. I often find myself having to plan what context I want to feed it and resetting context often.

- It's very effective at 'translation' tasks, eg. converting a schema from one format to another. It's much less effective at generating complex business logic.

- I only find it useful to generate code I confidently know how to write myself already. Otherwise, it doesn't save me time. The times I've been tempted, it's almost always bitten me.
That's hilarious. Well done.
Funny you would say that, because this court case is taking place in the US, not in the EU.

They're fine with cloud. But... I suppose most of our most sensitive documents are in Microsoft's SharePoint anyway. Effectively sharing our code with them via Copilot is actually comparatively less problematic.

Personally, my main gripe with it are the response times. But I'm a latency junkie.
That's the point. That they are alive shows that their innate fitness minus the tail is higher than that of another alive peacock who doesn't have a tail.

To be fair, I'd rather be in a 737 Max at 30,000 ft than without the 737 Max at 30,000 ft.

But neither seem to be of comparable safety to the other options available.
The globe is mostly water. Ocean fertilization make a lot more sense than this for a whole bunch of reasons. The inter-continental sea floor automatically freezes all carbon that goes down there most of it is stored as methane. Just need a fleet of nuclear powered fertilizer ships to kick it off hopefully you get more fish as a result.

When it comes to his Mitigation: Inject noise into the system. proposal: I would be happy to experiment with some sortition in our political systems. Citizens' assemblies et cetera.

Randomly chosen deliberative bodies could keep some of the stupid polarization in check, especially if your chances to be chosen twice into the same body are infinetesimal.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition

We tend to consider "democracy" as fundamentally equivalent to "free and fair elections", but sortition would be another democratic mechanism that could complement our voting systems. Arguably more democratic, as you need money and a support structure to have a chance to win an election.

There's also the issue of screen real estate. I often have other windows (terminal, browser, the build application), and panels within the editor (git, file explorer, console, etc.). It's already a hassle to maintain all this. It would be even more annoying if when I am comparing two code blocks side-by-side, there's another view for each of those that I'd have to either manually handle, or mentally keep in mind to look for something.
> The specifics are not written into law.

If all specifics were written into the law:

- people would complain about government overreach and that government dictates technological solutions

- no laws would ever be written because there are so many aspects to consider, and it's impossible to predict the future

Facebook, for instance, could easily start with complying with the two bullet points I posted. They don't, and they fight the EU in courts claiming they have god-given right to user data.

And yet you pretend that these companies are somehow victims. They are not.

> Which makes it impossible for companies to predict what their decisions will be.

This is PR and marketing bullshit. EU Commission literally talks to all the involved and interested parties, listens to their positions and invites them to present theirs.

> They would only do this for legal reasons.

Ahahhaha. Of course not.

Unexpected behavior for NASA was broken enough to send it back empty. That was not the plan to start with. The mission was supposed to be a few days only not this long.

> what we should expect NASA to do: make engineering decisions to minimize risk and maximize chance of mission success.

The criticism is of both NASA and Boeing on what they should have done prior to the trip. How the money was spent and such. I don’t think anyone criticizes NASA for opting to keep the astronauts safe by delaying their return. It’s about what happened before that point.
I find LLMs via Aider great for:

* code translation - e.g. convert a self-contained implementation of a numerical algorithm from one language to another and generate test cases and property tests which make sure the implementations are equivalent. The goal is to avoid having to proof read the generated code.

* one-off scripts - any task where code design doesn't matter, the amount of code is limited to couple hundred lines (GPT-4o) and the result will be thrown away after use.

* API exploration - producing examples for APIs and languages I'm not fluent in. Reading reference documentation gives a better understanding, LLMs get the results out faster.
IRC does not store messages, it only relays them to clients. You need an add-on solution to store chat history, something we've been taking for granted for ~30 years.

IRC all but requires using a bouncer to follow a conversation from more than a single device.

IRC does not encrypt messages, only (optionally) the client<->server connection. Without E2EE, you have no privacy against the server/operator, which is an easily targeted SPOF.

Matrix (the protocol) is still in flux, and the implementations are lagging behind the spec. If you're not using Element, you're behind on features and security.

XMPP is (similarly to IRC) relying on optional protocol add-ons for basic things, like E2EE, which clients may or may not support fully or correctly.

I recommend reading these breakdowns by soatok: https://soatok.blog/2024/08/04/against-xmppomemo/ https://soatok.blog/2024/08/14/security-issues-in-matrixs-ol...

2013/Snowden happened 11 years ago. E2EE should by now be considered a basic feature, a commodity, something we should be calling for as relentlessly as we did for HTTPS. (Discord of course does not implement E2EE.)
ZeroWriter- Open Source E-Ink Typewriter Project Based on Raspberry Pi Zero
"Broadly known" information in such discussions is typically just everyone sharing the same hearsays they picked up over the years, without ever verifying any one of it themselves. If one finds a request for source annoying, it suggests the claim is actually one of those - broadly-known true and accurate information has plenty of definitive sources to back it up.

There's lots of dumb things "people in general" believe. The infamous list on Wikipedia[0] is just the tip of an iceberg. Everyone is vulnerable to this; if you aren't occasionally discovering and correcting such dumb "broadly known" things in your own beliefs, you aren't paying attention.

If I can't bikeshed at the office on Saturday, I'll bikeshed on HN on Saturday.
For sure we did. Our backdoor, and that of all the neighbours was unlocked day and night. Same for my grandmothers' house and her neighbours. 1970s.
Why aider?
Pretty similar observations. Using Aider with Claude on an iOS app I’ve it can be helpful to scaffold new modules for example, if I give it some existing code and tell it to copy the conventions. But it’s virtually useless for editing or changing code where it will often produce code that doesn’t compile, has bugs and/or doesn’t solve the requirements.

Anything to do with Swift concurrency it’s completely hopeless, I assume partly because there’s not enough training data yet.
You're talking about filing documents and arguments the other side has to respond to. The courts do NOT have patience for last-minute requests to bend procedure, because the side making a request wasn't acting in good faith. This isn't previously-unknown evidence being suddenly discovered. How many documents Apple has about this and how long it would take to go through them is stuff they could have known, should have known before this week.

A structural question comes to mind, if the pipes are arrayed horizontally, how important is it to keep the pipes straight while they're being compressed by metric tons of biomass? Are they at risk of being squished closed? It's too late at night for me to ball park the pressures involved, but it'll be something like an extra atmosphere of pressure every 20 to 30 meters? This thing is over a hundred meters tall?
Nothing in the law requires these obnoxious banners. It's the companies who decided that they want to sell your data to thousands of trackers.

Our company is very not OK with sharing IP with the cloud to the extent that we only recently started using github. So we're banned from using these things.
> But it would be much more broadly effective to remove one digit from housing prices

How would you in the real world reduce prices by one order of magnitude?

e.g. a $1M house would cost 100K tomorrow?

Building that house has more than 100K in just parts and labor. Even if the land were free, which it is not.
I wonder if EMP resistance was also considered, and if analogue computing could have offered better resistance compared to the digital devices of the time.

Impossible to know, though the use of nuclear weapons by an enemy was probably on everyone's mind, and diversity of redundant systems may have been applied in case some hypothetical enemy air defense came about during the lifespan of the aircraft.
Why are you picking the oblique and obviously implausible case of Putin trying to "scare" the West by detonating a device on his own territory (and as far away from his adversaries as possible)? What people are worried about is a low-yield device over the Black Sea or the North Sea, say.

The "pathway" is that any deployment of a device will at the very least trigger a suite of necessary countermeasures on both sides (moving assets around and so forth), greatly increasing the risk of misperceptions and panic reactions.

I don't understand what trick. Russia directly attacking NATO?

The "trick", by which I mean outcome simply, of pushing the regime into an (acutely) fatalistic mindset. The reaction doesn't have to be a direct attack on NATO. It could be some other form of escalation (of the sort they might have ruled out otherwise). It doesn't even have to be an action taken by Russia. It could a matter of China looking at the situation and thinking, in terms of the move they've always been threatening to make, "now or never".

I'd rather not delve into scenarios; I'm just advocating that we observe the cautionary principle here. We agree that the risk is overstated, and that the aggressor's threats are mostly bluster. But it's definitely not negligible risk, in my view; probably on the order of 3-5 percent per year. As high as at any time since the Cuban missile crisis, in any case.
I think you're missing a rover, "(...) must a moon rover rover before (...)"
Sorry for bad grammar, the key in that sentence is "bad words". I use to read a huge number of books about some bleeding edge and it is important to have your own understanding of your way.

For example, I love Blockchain technology, but anything like "private blochchain" tells me I need to abandon the whole work. That attitude allows me to read a lot of books.
There is no responsibility in open source. It's the wild West. Anyone with expectations of you is simply new to the scene and doesn't get it yet.

Forking is a thing. People don't do it enough. GitHub doesn't make it easy to find active forks.
Anyone care to share why downvoting?
I wonder the same. This proposal sounds like it is leeching nutrients from the ground and storing it for a long time (on a scale of centuries in the proposal). How do these nutrients cycle back for growing the food that we need? Or, for that matter, for the next round of biomass to freeze?
Yes, that's it. If you have Comfy already installed, it will run off that. Otherwise, currently, you need to install it manually beforehand.
Note that despite what media headlines will make of this, it wasn't a Boeing issue in this case. One of their suppliers incorrectly installed a bearing on a component that could lead to moisture getting in and freezing. That component is used on the 737NG and 737Max.

These things are relatively common in aviation. An incident happened, everything went OK, but during the investigation a problem was found. The NTSB then writes a set of recommendations and it's likely that the FAA will issue an Airworthiness Directive (AD) that tells all operators to fix this problem.

Depending on the severity and the FAA's estimate of the risk that AD will either be a "fix now" which is very disruptive or a "fix at the next [some type] inspection" which is more common.

Specifically with this component the NTSB seems to think it can be removed until a replacement is available:

> Additionally, the NTSB recommended that the FAA determine if actuators with incorrectly assembled bearings should be removed from airplanes, and if so, to direct U.S. operators to do so until replacements are available.

In that case the plane won't be able to do a cat III autoland anymore, but from the text is looks like it would operate normally apart from that restriction.
I use GitHub Copilot at work. We were (and still are) not allowed to use our private accounts, but recently got company accounts we are allowed to use on codebases classified "confidential" or lower. We also have an internal chat interface to OpenAI's models with a similar restriction. I understand there's some extra agreements with Microsoft regarding our data.
In the 2021/2022 census, 16% of UK population was foreign-born. The top 5 countries of origin were India, Poland, Pakistan, Romania, and Ireland. [0]

In 2022, almost 15% of the Netherlands population was foreign-born. The top 5 countries of origin were Turkey, Suriname, Morocco, Indonesia, and the Dutch Caribbean. [1]

So I'm not sure, just looking at the statistics, if it is really true that one country is more diverse in terms of migrants than the other.

And, putting statistics aside, do you really think a country which until recently had a second-generation immigrant Prime Minister (Rishi Sunak, both of whose parents were born in East Africa, of Punjabi descent–and his wife was born in India too), is less diverse than the Netherlands, which has not yet in its history had a Prime Minister who was not ethnically Dutch? And I think if you look at Sunak's cabinet, you will notice it was more ethnically diverse than Schoof's is, or any of Rutte's were – and the current Starmer cabinet is more ethnically diverse than Schoof's as well.

Wider than a mile
If true this would be between ok-ish and decent result but since you didn't say anything about the experiment or how you ran it or anything about the HW it's hard to say more.

I assume you didn't use https://github.com/miguelraz/StagedFilters.jl/blob/master/te... since that benchmark is pretty much flawed for more than a few reasons:

- Operates with the dataset that cannot fit even in the L3 cache on most consumer machines: ~76MB (float64) and ~38MB (float32)

- Intermixes python with the julia code

- Not even a single repetition - no statistical significance

- Does not show what happens with different data distributions, e.g. random, but only uses a monotonically increasing sequence

Soyuz could not be used to take Jeb and Val back down. Riding a Soyuz requires a custom fitted suit, and though these astronauts had both riden Soyuz in the past, those old measurements are not good enough for a current flight.

No one forced site owners to suck out personal information from customers to sell them to the highest bidder. A normal, human respecting website doesn't even need a consent banner.

The syntax is SQL
For common languages e.g. Python, Javascript it works reasonably well although it still seems to prefer older versions of libraries way too often. Which means you need to do refactoring straight out of the bat.

Whenever I use it with Rust, Golang, Scala etc it's not worth the effort.

According to Wikipedia they have been upgraded to be safer (e.g redesign of the control rods). No such a thing as totally safe, except if the thing does not exist.

The question of getting appropriate nuclear materials looms large. Also all the Atomgrad appear to have all been in Russia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_atomic_bomb_project)
It sounds similar to how animal/plant species often work.

A species will specialise for a niche, and outcompete a generalist. But when conditions change, the generalist can adapt and the specialist suffers.

Seems like a Boeing issue to me.
What would you call someone ‘prone to be easily exploitable’, and ‘unable to see/resist exploitation’?

I’m sure there are other words that we can use too.
Probably not a factor. There is a backup attitude indicator on the bottom right side of the panel. So a more modern version would have gone digital for the PFD (more options for extra indications) even with EMP risks considered and just kept the analog backup instrument.
Looks nice. I've tried (a couple of times) to build something similar to this, and to OP's project, but it's never worked out. Golive looks the nearest to the ideal in my head.
Then why are you using github at all?
