Risk Assessment of GitHub Copilot

0xabad1dea, July 2021

this is a rough draft and may be updated with more examples

GitHub was kind enough to grant me swift access to the Copilot test phase despite me @'ing them several hundred times about ICE. I would like to examine it not in terms of productivity, but security. How risky is it to allow an AI to write some or all of your code?

Ultimately, a human being must take responsibility for every line of code that is committed. AI should not be used for "responsibility washing." However, Copilot is a tool, and workers need their tools to be reliable. A carpenter doesn't have to

Speaker Rider

by Tatiana Mac

Last updated 14 April 2021

What is a speaker rider?

As speaking comes with immense privilege, I have crafted a speaker rider to set expectations and boundaries around my engagement. I am grateful to all the conference organisers who have brilliantly hosted me. I would love to continue to exercise this privilege to speak at conferences, and use this privilege to make the landscape more accessible and beneficial to tech's most historically excluded and marginalised communities.

Considerations

😫 I provide a lot of explanations for those of you who never had to consider these things. Most thoughtful conferences I've attended check most of these boxes intrinsically, particularly when conference runners are experienced speakers. They get it.

Read this first!

Hi there! Since this post was originally written, nvm has gained some new tools, and some people have suggested alternative (and potentially better) approaches for modern systems. Make sure to have a look at the comments to this article, before following this guide!

Mike Hearn's recent bitcoin criticism makes very valid points in terms of scalability and monopoly. However, I'd like to urge people to not jump to conclusions, and point out that Mike is loudly expressing his opinionated point of view. We should take his criticism seriously and work on improving the scalability and democratic governance of bitcoin - whether on the main or on the XT fork, depending on how core will now behave.

Even if bitcoin's price drops as predicted by Mike (which is largely a self-fulfilling prophecy, as he was a core developer - but I think we'll soon see a recover), this doesn't negate all the work we've been doing on blockchain technologies which construct consensus mechanisms upon which the redecentralized future of the Internet will be built. Several of Mike's concerns are actually addressed in newer cryptocurrencies. Decred has better bottom-up governance. His own XT has larger block size limits. Bitcoin itself is talking extensively about scalability, not just increasing the block

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.
