There are plenty of SAAS that use GPL'd code on the backend. That's fine.

You're giving AI too much credit, it's just a tool, it does not have it's own intentions. I.e. if you buy a piano or a guitar, you could play and record copyrighted music on it. That's not piano's or guitar's f

Moreover, some prefer both. I know because I am one of them. Really enjoyed the opportunity to wfh before the pandemic and am really excited about the office now. I guess I just like the change of the scenery.

Say humans went extinct and some alien species revived us from collected germ cells. Even if they could work out all the genetic quirks to make new population sustainable, 40000 years of social progress would be lost. Resurrected population

Mozilla doesn't have an incentive to add RSS since they would prefer larger Pocket adoption.

The whole saga with the outside oversight is also a complete red herring. USA would never sign a treaty that required them to show their own facilities. Case in point: biological weapons convention. A few years back there was a very popula

Ubiquity introduced new vulns while fixing that fiasco from last year: https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2021/5/24/cve-2021-22... On the other hand, all of the other networking HW sucks just as much

Yes they do get compromised and the information is published regularly. E.g. here is a news item from just this week: https://www.reuters.com/technology/denmarks-central-bank-exp...

Solarwinds was distributed by a malicious patch (through legit channels). So all orgs were unpatched and in fact all got at least first stage downloaded (if they patched during that window).

SolarWinds affected 100% of installations that updated their deployments during that 8 month window. Your 1% comes from the ratio of networks that were specifically targeted and received 2nd stage with all the goodies. The reason why 2nd st

I disagree with this attitude. Many demos such as this one with Quake code are intentionally looking for (funny) outliers by bending the rules. But this is not how anyone would use the system in a real scenario (no one should select license

I don't work for Github (nor MS) and do not represent Copilot.

In a real world scenario you wouldn't be mindlessly pressing Tab right after linebreak and accepting the first suggestion that comes your way. While entertaining, nobody gets paid to do that. What you get paid is to write your own code

Code completion that can suggest the whole line instead of a single word (e.g. often it guesses function parameters and various math operations when you haven't even typed function name yet).
166.
by aj3 5y ago
If you use it as a programming partner it will simply autofill whatever you're writing line-by-line. You're not forced to use code completion at a whole-function level and it's not even the suggested use-case.

by aj3 5y ago
Depends. If you find useful code on Github, Stack Overflow or anywhere else in the internet, you still need to check whether it is suitable with your licensing or not.

by aj3 5y ago
Then write the code yourself. It's not like you're forced to use this demo.

Does GitHub Copilot write perfect code? No. GitHub Copilot tries to understand your intent and to generate the best code it can, but the code it suggests may not always work, or even make sense. While we are working hard to make GitHub Copi

Copilot is a tool. If you take copilot's suggestions uncritically and push them to Github, - that's on you.

Isn't peer review usually blind?

I think they mean "death prevented" vs "death inflicted".

I disagree. The main problem is the way they calculate NNTV as if the risk of infection was linear. It's not since there is a positive loop. In the absence of a vaccine, rate of infection grows which in turn increases the risk of infec

Come on, there is a huge gap between 1) writing a single function (potentially incorrectly) with a known prototype/interface and a description and 2) designing interfaces, datatypes and APIs themselves.

This sounds like an amazing hiring process. Hopefully it becomes more common.

Of course not. There are even certain minorities which are known to extremely exagerrate their abilities and accomplishments (even when they wouldn't last a day on actual job). I really think it's as simple as having friends/

Another cool idea is to list what are the proficiencies of existing team members.

Is this true? There are plenty of NATO systems that seem to be dual homed and accessible from internet either through port forwarding or VPN. That’s not “physical separation”.

Honestly, this attitude (dismissing the feature even without trying it out) comes across as insecurity and gatekeeping.
