Well, one person moved and then brought a bunch of people with them.

Good point.

It's also important to note that it beat doctors in diagnosing in a way doctors do not diagnose.

> a desire to support functionality that some customers expect of VS Code w.r.t. AI-generated code

Literally who?


I could easily see companies, especially enterprise-level companies, expect code that was generated with AI to have some level of ownership attributed to that AI. Whether a simple "Co-Authored-by Copilot" byline on the commit is the right way to do that is another question though.

Correct, this was the ask.

And thank you for this. In my professional setting, this is a very valuable addition -- provided it works correctly, of course ;-).

Now if we could also have comments inside the code ("BEGIN/END snippet by Copilot"), that would also be great!


No one, which is why he refuses to reply further to any of these inquiries.

I don't refuse - what would you like to ask?

they do, at least to some degree, but their comments are dead. You'll see them if you turn on show-dead somewhere

Can you just add power from the front and rear wheels like that?

I don't see why not, it's all contributing to acceleration, although it's going to be rough on the tyres.

And hey, even fairly modest EVs are rough on tyres, so no one is going to mind that tradeoff if they are looking for sporty acceleration

I think the tyre problem is not really a thing. EVs use synchronized motors and traction control to avoid extra wear due to uneven torque during normal driving.

I can't remember if it was here or on reddit, but I read from a tyre shop / mechanic, that some EV users replace their tyres very often, because EV cars make it easy to drive very aggressive.

And others don't. We replaced our EV tires at about 80 000 km.

The increased weight due to the battery is the bigger issue for wear on tires. A lot of EVs weigh a good 500kg more than their ICE counterparts.

I think bigger issue is torque. EVs have lot more torque and it is easier to use, so they can slip more often which then leads to wear.

My understanding is that the torque control speed is much faster though, so it's actually difficult to get the tires to slip. I can't screech my tires in my EV, but it'll do 0-60 ridiculously fast.

Anecdotally, my Kia Niro EV goes through tyres a lot faster than the two equivalent internal combustion vehicles in the family.

That said, the Niro weighs ~50% more than the other vehicles, and it has significantly higher acceleration/braking, so I'd hazard it gets driven harder on average.


Yeah, "we're going to remove copilot" only to remove the literally word copilot


And as the person who raised the issue said

> The frustrating part is that it's not a workflow _or_ model issue, but a silently-introduced limitation of the subscription plan. They switched thinking to be variable by load, redacted the thinking so no one could notice, and then have been running it at ~1/10th the thinking depth nearly 24/7 for a month. That's with max effort on, adaptive thinking disabled, high max thinking tokens, etc etc.

So Boris' explanation isn't really an explanation.


> ~1/10th the thinking depth

While simultaneously drastically reducing the amount of work you can get done even at $200 a month. I've cancelled my subscription, it's not worth it anymore.


“So squeeze, Rabban. Squeeze hard.”


Also taking a dirty foggy environment and sanitising it.


> And neither denounces partially autonomous mass surveillance nor closes the door on AI-driven foreign mass surveillance

You have to be deliberately naive in a world where five eyes exists to somehow believe that "foreign" mass surveillance won't be used domestically.


He does it all the time.


The only reason you get to keep the book is because no bothers to enforce the law, this doesn't make it legal.

And it is your job to check that you have the rights to use other people's work. Ignorance is not a defence.


>the law

Which ones? As far as I was aware, it's a crime to redistribute copyrighted works, not receive.


Copyright act 1968. Sect 116.


Section 116 (2) A plaintiff is not entitled by virtue of this section to any damages or to any other pecuniary remedy, other than costs, if it is established that, at the time of the conversion or detention:

(a) the defendant was not aware, and had no reasonable grounds for suspecting, that copyright subsisted in the work or other subject - matter to which the action relates;

(b) where the articles converted or detained were infringing copies--the defendant believed, and had reasonable grounds for believing, that they were not infringing copies; or

(c) where an article converted or detained was a device used or intended to be used for making articles--the defendant believed, and had reasonable grounds for believing, that the articles so made or intended to be made were not or would not be, as the case may be, infringing copies.

Does this not mean the opposite of your claim? It sounds to me that if you unwittingly bought a dodgy copy of something, the law thinks the copyright owner can get you to pay for a legit copy, but not punish you for your mistake.

In the specific case of the Harry Potter works, the fame might meet the threshold of reasonable grounds for believing, but noosphr's argument that "Up to 80% off all works that are in copyright terms are accidentally in the public domain" could grant a reasonable grounds for believing it is not.

This is one of those things that causes interesting court cases because a reasonable grounds for believing X is not the same thing as not reasonable grounds for believing not X. Reasonable grounds for suspicion probably carries more weight here than reasonable grounds for the absence of suspicion, but cases have hung on things like this before , like the presence or absence of an Oxford comma.


Australia doesn't have fair use either. Who cares what a country smaller than California in population and economy does?
