"Afghanistan" (the recently routed government) is not on the list. The Taliban is not a (yet) recognized nation-state in most Western countries. It'll take time for these lists to get updated with recent events. Considering t

That's actually a great point. Ditto for GDocs. I've been pleasantly surprised at how good autocomplete suggestions have been in docs lately. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say that the vitriol around Copilot stems from fiv

Conversely, the generous olive branch of free hosting is not a blank check that allows GitHub to use the hosted code for any purpose, especially when that purpose wasn't made clear as part of the terms of the original free hosting offe

I sure hope so, and given Copilot currently integrates with VSCode and its amazing language server APIs, I imagine this could be a (relatively) simple win to make a significant bump in model accuracy. I do wonder if Copilot has any idea of

Having used Copilot for a couple of hours on a Typescript/React codebase, I've encountered a very wide range of results. Sometimes, the model correctly guesses exactly what I'm trying to write, and gives me non-trivial contex

It'll depend on how much data is being reported back. For some games where users are asked to make certain moral choices, I figure you can infer a lot about someone by analyzing those choices. Imagine if games like Mass Effect phoned h

We can thank Google and the various other companies mapping out wireless IDs for this being an uphill battle. Generally speaking, if you want wireless communication, you'll need some way of uniquely identifying each participant in the

For any discussion on copyright and fair use, we should distinguish between the implications to Copilot the software itself and the implications to users of Copilot. For Copilot itself, I do see the case for fair use, though it gets fuzzy s

Another approach may be to take inspiration from the `cpu load` metric on *nix systems and go _above_ 100%. In this example, the CPU usage would be `200%`: The system would like to be doing twice as much as it's currently doing, but so

Then propose a different definition. If we define it as "people uses it to organize family gatherings", then instead of YouTube you have iMessage, Discord, heck even SMS and email. The challenge here is there isn't a single m

If you're concerned about the current state of privacy at Discord, take a peek at their API and the amount of access bots have to user data.

I don't disagree that a unified head of state+government would be unusual, but most parliamentary systems were also heavily inspired by the Westminster System, so that might not be a great argument one way or another.

It'll probably be minor to medium damage to the containment vessel, but the amount of gas actually at that temperature is very small, and will cool down very quickly once it expands and dissipates.

Very true, though it'll depend on the seniority of the position. $240K/yr, minus self-employment taxes, insurance, and other overhead, not to mention the lack of other non-monetary benefits and comp, is not a lot for someone doing

I haven't heard of any instances of Kotlin itself optimizing these things away, but the JVM may be able to do so during its various JIT passes. It's definitely not something you can necessarily rely on, though. Luckily, these conv

Treating the symptom and not the cause. The scam itself is (arguably) less damaging than whatever the hacker(s) can do with the access they've obtained. Block bitcoin addresses, and they'll move on to different types of messages.

Depending on how desperately you need to fix this and how hacky you're willing to go, LD_PRELOAD could help here as well. (i.e. https://github.com/randombk/rust-ldpreload-read )

I wonder how far you'd need to shim before you can stamp out detection. I.e. does it really matter if you shim the Filesystem API? A program can just write some data and try to read it back. If the shims just no-oped those API calls, i

Some web APIs are disabled in incognito mode, yet are almost universally present on modern browsers. By attempting to use these APIs, a web page can detect if you are in Incognito. If the API is blocked, they can reasonably assume you are.
