I would happily contribute all of my public source code under whatever license to a dataset that required models to also be open sourced. I am not OK with Microsoft creating a derivative work (Copilot's model) off of GPL code and not r

Ha, my tasks are usually updating those components. Mostly interested in developer efficacy. It is a real pain to find and reverse engineer components when starting a new gig. Would be nice to have an explanation and links to other componen

Does a README in every folder in a Github repo meet the requirements? What is the lowest friction way to do this?

Or just download Github Desktop onto their machine and show them how to use it.

Not true. If your project does not compete with your employer, you do not use their resources, and you do not build it on their time, it is yours. This it the case in California. That doesn't work well at a FAANG because they have thei

Used it for a few weeks, absolute trash. There is a lot that is noticeably missing if you've ever used Slack. Org ended up on Mattermost, it has its quirks (like delayed notifications) but we're very happy.

I've always imagined deep fakes would just encode to 360p to make it believable.

Electric unicycles are a lot of fun. I've ridden both and strongly prefer EUCs, and that is coming from a seasoned snowboarder and skateboarder.

I write Go web servers that deliver HTML, CSS, and JS. I use the template library to fill in some stuff server side. As you get more advanced with the templating you can break things out into components. Best part is you don't need to

I talked to a therapist about this once and he told me to volunteer or have kids. Haven't talked to a therapist again since those were dumb suggestions. Settled into just enjoying my life and building for the future. Work out, have a d

I never found something that made sense. It always worked out that I should reduce hours, work part time at a high salary, control my schedule, and have some hobbies.

Make time to be healthy. Go for a long walk at lunch when it is warmer out. Get a cheap rowing machine. Get a half squat rack. Work is not so important. Work a bit less and take a nice walk mid day. Block out some time on your calendar for

I started programming in college. I am a very good programmer (one of the best I know). I have not seen claims someone has been programming since childhood as a consistent signal for competence. Like it's usually a sysadmin (no hate) o

I have dogs and love dogs. Play really rough with mine, let her chew on me. I got bit (tooth punctured, not just scratched) by a small white dog. It made me nervous around small dogs for a solid year.

Cops have been useless for a long time. It is why everyone currently hates them. They don't work for us. They don't protect us. They extract money from us to justify their existence. Truly useless.

>If Copilot itself is infringing then so is GPT-3, DALL-E 2, NovelAI, and Stable Diffusion. Not necessarily. Copilot is a special case because it is using licensed code and the model is a derived function. There is an interpretation wher

There is no obvious violation or obvious not violation. It is a matter of fair use and it will be settled in court. Using copywritten code and not open souring the derivative work (copilot's model) may very well be a violation.

The issue isn't that something like copilot shouldn't exist. The issue is the disregard for open source. You want a proprietary code completion tool? License your training set properly. If you want to build on open source then ope

Horrible framing. AI is not learning from code. The model is a function. The AI is a derivative work of its training material. They built a program based on open source code and failed to open source it. They also built a program that outpu

He is me. Allowing large companies to ignore licenses and giving them a tool to launder licensed code at scale is a significant threat to the integrity of open source licenses.

It really isn't mental gymnastic. Copilot, the model, is a program that is a derivative work of open source code. It should be open source.

by carom 4y ago
I am violently opposed to copilot and it has nothing to do with feeling threatened. I would gladly use a model whose weights were open sourced or proprietary that paid for its training material.

Copilot is the largest disrespect to open source software I have ever seen. It is a derivative work of open source code and it is not released under the same license. It is also capable of laundering open source code. Congratulations for wo
