So many "developers produce more quantities of code with copilot" studies so few "the patterns of interleaving and retrieval change depending on active vs passive consumption of generated solutions and we have like fifty years of research on this in learning science and so maybe we can apply it to make good recommendations about the best usage of generated work output" studies

"Developers produce more quantities of code with copilot"

Remember when the "best" patch was one with a net negative line count?

Hereโ€™s a deeply reported piece by Eli Salsow in the New York Times, in which he spends time with a county election clerk in a small Nevada town with 620 voters: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/06/us/politics/nevada-election-clerk-trump.html?unlocked_article_code=1.xk0.Wsdw.1RH-Oz4t3SH0&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb (gift)

The countyโ€™s Trump voters are incensed that he won by only 82% in 2020 โ€ฆ

โ€ฆ so they try to recall the election clerk, Cindy Elgan

Many are close friends of the clerk, but imbibe a diet of online-conspiracy posts, so theyโ€™ve turned on her

Hereโ€™s a sample of what one believes

If Fani Willis had a conflict of interest because a man might have paid for a meal, imagine how serious it would be if Supreme Court justices heard cases related to an election their wives had tried to overturn.

@Strandjunker

When people complain about Fani Willis I feel a little stab of anger. These accusations that she hasnโ€™t been โ€œprofessional enoughโ€ fail to recognize the invasive & vindictive nature of the opposition research she faces. It wouldnโ€™t shock me if she was regularly being bugged, trackedโ€” her old friends & acquaintances tempted with bribes & gifts to turn against her. Rather than recognizing the ugly effort to put her in her place it feels like the critics are joining in.

I wrote a story a few years ago and I'm polishing it up now for publication and noticing how a few references have dated soooo quickly.

I really don't understand the servile boot lickers who don't want politicians being protested, humiliated, confronted, or even just criticized because "norms" or whatever. These ultra-powerful millionaires with armed security need to know how much we hate them somehow.

For those who arenโ€™t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: โ€œNote that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything youโ€™ve typed and viewed in one database.

Three Copilot+ Recall questions that keep coming up.

Q. Can you alter the Recall history?

A. Yes. You can change the OCR database and change the screenshots as the logged in user or as software running as the local user. There is no audit log of changes.

Q. Are they snapshots, as Microsoft says, or screenshots?

A. They are just screenshots, jpegs.

Q. What is to stop apps on your machine accessing your Recall covertly?
A. Nothing. There is no audit log of access.
