It’s interesting the extent to which police varies geographically. I’d love for any police officer of Oregon to be at my side in times of trouble, but god forbid any King country officer show up when I’m in need. I’d wager any “blue lives m

How often do you expect most families encounter major illnesses and/or babies? I’ve literally never used my health insurance. I expect the vast majority of people are in the same boat.

The spec sheet mentions they're moving from CUDA powering their prior supercomputer to "HIP" for this one. This is the first I've heard of HIP, does anyone have experience with it? My impression was that GPU programming

Bottom line up front: When sending tokens via SMS, you must include a "do not share this token with anyone besides X.com" text. Otherwise account takeovers become trivial. The article's attack is relatively benign - the use

Copyright law hold that’s derivative works don’t require copyright permission. So again, copilot is in the clear. Copilot users may not be, but that’s up to them to determine at time of commit.

That just further supports the claim that copilot is in the clear - it is clearly a separate work with many underlying works. Of course the code copilot generates may violate GPL, but that’s up to the tool’s wielder to determine. Just as it

> ‘derivative works’ require the GPL license This keeps coming up, but if you look at the text of the GPL the word ‘derivative’ literally never appears. GPL in fact explicitly exempts code that is accessed over a web service from needing

Computers don’t violate licenses, people do. If you’re writing MIT code and copilot tells you to include Quake’s square root algorithm and you do so, that’s on you. If Google tells you to include Quake’s square root algorithm and you do so,

Someone else running copilot in a different workspace wouldn’t see those recommendations, you can try it yourself in a new workspace.

You don’t want to pay for it because you like free stuff. So does everyone. But that doesn’t pay the bills. You don’t need backcraft some moral argument. It’s trivial to see that a large amount of creativity went into developing the system,

This is miles from the truth. Installing coal rolling equipment actually costs money. And the act of rolling is a lower efficiency combustion. Some people just want to watch the world burn.
