In this case, wouldn’t the users of copilot be the ones responsible for any copyrighted code they may have accessed using copilot?
One problem I face is that I use translator apps to converse with some family and (mutual) friends and don’t share common language, but when I translate a whole sentence or paragraph for example it’s hard for me to learn the meaning without typing each individual word/phrase individually which is tedious, and breaks the flow when we are conversing. Furthermore it would be nice to be able to keep a record of the conversations (which often take place in person) and I would like to be able to go back and sort of be able to practice the phrases and conversations I had in the past. Mostly just english/french and english/spanish would do for me but other languages would be cool too.
Just paste your broken link into it to go back in time.
1. Simple organization
2. Laid back mindset
Organization to get clarity, not to be prescriptive. To easily see things like what’s going on, when deadlines are, and what’s involved, and what you want in the first place. Organization not to set a schedule, routine, time management, or anything like that. It’s about making things simpler.
Laid back mindset so I can take it easy and get things done at the same time. Like working smart, not hard. Instead of trying to be fast, productive, efficient, take your time, be more thoughtful. It helps to naturally avoid procrastination, because the thought of doing something you don’t feel like isn’t so repulsive. You can just take your time, relax, and get it done. If you avoid feeling pressured, it makes it easier to concentrate, and do a better job.
My goal is to wake up, and not care about what day it is. I really don't want to be stressed at night. I don’t want to dread Monday or look forward to the weekend. I don’t want to be so worked up that my brain looks for distractions. I don’t want to have to hype myself up to something.
Being organized helps me see what I might wanna do when I wake up, and be at peace when I want to get some rest. Being laid back helps me to actually start doing something and even have a chance to enjoy it. It helps me to take a break when I need it, and to pick it up again later. It makes it easier to be patient when something is challenging.
From what I understand about humans we have evolved over time, suffering in order to motivate ourselves to fix the suffering in our life. When there is no suffering we still on the lookout for problems to solve, or fun to be had, or things to learn.
Maybe even something simple like planning and doing a fun weekend adventure with your family will bring meaning in that moment, then next weekend you read a book about something interesting. Only you can discover it for yourself.
Here is a metaphor to explain it differently: I think we have evolved to climb the mountain, not hang out at the top for the rest of our life. Once you climb enough mountains, that can become meaningless, and maybe it’s time to try swimming.
Try not to be in a rush too much, and just spend some time on a particular class of problems that you’re struggling with. Watch videos, look at the solution and try to understand it. Sketch out the given solution on paper if you need to. Implement the solution a couple times until you can do it without looking, perhaps in different ways.
If you just get in a habit of practicing (and do without stressing yourself) and you’re patient, you’ll get there. At first it will seem like you’re not moving anywhere but eventually the work will pay off and you’ll have gained a cool skill, and probably improve your thinking skills in general.
I just want to study it more as it is a pretty fascinating plant.

Basic idea is map a hard problem A (e.g TSP) to some other problem X (e.g chess) by finding “gadgets” then you know X is at-least as hard as A (a lower bound on X).
