This is not really how copyright works.

This is a misleading anthropomorphization of how AI works.

How about Orion?

I'm a simple man. I see the Blackbird speed check story, I click.
Re:Show HN: Gut – An easy-to-use CLI for Git on Friday March 31, 2023 @02:50PM (#35391562)
My first reaction was "git already has an easy to use CLI!" But reading a bit more of the post I definitely see how many things I don't think about anymore aren't as intuitive to a newcomer. And hats off to this student for making themselves a tool. (Probably ended up learning a lot about git in the process too.)
Re:Ask HN: Looking for a book on algorithms and data structures on Saturday November 20, 2021 @01:26PM (#29290530)
Another vote for Tim Roughgarden’s work. As someone who recently became a software engineer without a cs degree, his Stanford Algorithms I & II lectures (similar content to his books) have been the best instruction I’ve had on DS&A. I’ve dabbled with Skiena’s book, Grokking Algorithms, CTCI, and I now also have a copy CLRS that I use for reference or to go deeper on certain things. But I revisit Tim’s work all the time. Can’t recommend him enough.
