I think one of the only second order effects of wokeism is the fact that many times it gets results.

“Call out culture” runs the gamut from obvious to pendantic, and, more often than not, the result is a net positive.

So, my question is: Why isn’t there a concerted effort from [OpenAI’s] like-minded contemporaries to call them out on their incredibly embarrassing name?

To all the OpenAI engineers, investors, and onlookers: there is _nothing_ “open” about your platform. Am I stupid or are your efforts just casually misleading?

You could also have self modifying code such that the size of the binary automatically changes as needed.

If you ship a lisp interpreter instead of rust, you can have the interpreter recode itself and any lisp files to a smaller size.
You’d just implement a compression algorithm that preserves the functionality of the code compressed.

I think you could do that with rust too with a self compiling binary. It’ll require some real technical skill but if you hire a real hacker you can pull it off.

My cousin his solution for the competitive programming contest had something like that.

Probably not, but they also uploaded the reverse-engineered source code and binaries to Github in the United States. They then filed DMCA counter-notices, which opens them up to personal jurisdiction in federal district court in the U.S., per 17 USC 512(g)(3)(D). [0].

I've just finished reading Why We're Polarized by Ezra Klein and there's an entire chapter on this:

It seems that humans have an in-built affinity for groups and group affiliation, so if your in-group says something you tend to go with it instead of believing your lying eyes.

What about someone who had an illegal abortion in Texas that was aborted through Crimestoppers?
counter point, laws like this are necessary to prevent this from happening.
> I do think this nicely embodies the difficulty of dealing with IP vs. actual, tangible things, though. With the car or bridge analogs, copyright would not prevent anyone from replicating them, but it would be patents and trademarks that put restrictions on how and what can be reproduced, instead of the much stronger restrictions of copyright on software.

Photographs of artwork such as paintings or statues are routinely seen to be infringements of the original work. So it is not unique to software. There are lots of demarcations and corner cases for this... for example, if you install your statue in public, you no longer have grounds to sue people for photographing it. If the statue is a minor part of a photograph, then it's not infringement.

Same applies to software. This is well-tread ground, by this point. People have been reverse engineering and copying software for a long time.

> Now, a binary has elements of literal nature that copyright protects, but a decompilation results in a completely different information stream, so that seems like a non issue.

Copyright protects original works of authorship. There is nothing in copyright law that talks about something's "literal nature" or different "information streams". For example, if I write a song, I am still the author of the song even when that song is performed--even though that requires a significant amount of interpretation, transformation, and creativity on the part of the musicians. I am still the author.

Likewise, if I write a book about a character named Jean-Luc Picard, who is the bald captain of a captain of a spaceship in my made-up universe, Paramount has grounds to sue for copyright infringement.

Copyright law talks mostly about very ordinary terms like authorship. Authorship survives all sorts of transformations... not infinitely so, but neither decompilation nor refactoring will change who the author of a program is.
> a mentally sane person would not copy the tics from a YouTube personality

A sane adult, sure. Kids? Hell no. Doing stupid things is a basic right of childhood. Kids always need help from adults in general, but I would not read to much in this single case. Overall from the kids perspective this seems rather harmless as nobody was harmed.
Primates are not darker than humans. Primates is the Order, they came in all colors, including brilliant blue, white with black stripes, orange, yellow or red.

We live in a world when everybody is offended by nothing. The problem is that nobody should be offended by being called a Gorilla. In the same way as nobody is offended by being called an eagle or a wolf. Is a wonderful animal, smart, strong, protective and gentle. What if some idiots used the term pejoratively five generations ago? We know better. Societies can change.

If white people is not being classified as primates, the algorithm should be corrected so they are. Not fixed excluding black people from humanity.

People should be educated also to understand that an AI algorithm is returning probability, not truth

I'm being facetious, but with a purpose. I think all the labels people use here are spin. I want to underline the absurdity, by making the pedantic point that banning abortions isn't the only way to take away someone's choice.

Ok, but we’re out of space to put suburbs in a reasonable commute distance of jobs. Add a new suburb in the broader Bay Area (which at this point means going all the way to Tracy) and all the highways and Bart get more strained. You didn’t avoid fixing local infrastructure you just added a whole new town on top of it.

Offering API-compatible tools is very deeply ingrained in the UNIX philosophy; just think of the different implementations of "ls", or the C functions mandated by POSIX, or the way that clang (the compiler targeting LLVM) has the same flag names as GCC, which probably copied them from somewhere else in the first place...

Generally, if you publish an Open Source project, you cannot complain if people copy parts of it, even it's the command line arguments / API / whatever.
I wish I had something to offer here, but I don’t. I just came here to say that I appreciate someone finally asking this question. Every week we see some new article or headline about just how bad burnout is, or how to avoid it, but never ONCE have I seen a single suggestion, theory or a damn SOLUTION for those of us who are already afflicted with it.

Talking about avoidance and stating the obvious about it (“oh burnout’s real bad, mmmkay”) are much easier than actually helping people experiencing it. And god forbid anybody do anything ‘hard’ anymore…

Interested to see what realistic answers might come up. If any.

I think that article does explain that it was basically a “sell” out of necessity:

> OpenAI was an AI research laboratory. But its ambitions were simply out of reach for the resources it had access to.
The thing, though, is that "nativity" can get fuzzy depending on a variety of circumstances. I think a lot of new bilingual parents assume that all bilingual parents are like them: strong speakers of a native tongue who had kids shortly after a recent move to a new country. That's not always the case: there are bilingual parents that moved to the new country as children and may have varying degrees of mother tongue attrition, there are second/third generation parents and there are multilingual parents (e.g. immigrant parents whose parents speak a dialectic variation of the official mother tongue, or even completely different languages altogether)

For many parents, the primary goal for promoting bilingualism is purely practical: speaking w/ grandparents and other family. For the most part, the child will still need formal complementary studies later in life if they want to truly master the parents' mother tongue to a grown adult's level of proficiency, especially for languages with little or no overlap w/ english.

IMHO, the benefits of nurturing a mother tongue are largely coincidental: e.g. romance language learners get an advantage over pure english speakers from understanding latin-based radicals (especially for stuff like scientific nomenclature). But for many languages, maintenance comes with an opportunity cost aspect: my wife speaks Mandarin and actively maintains it, but that comes at a cost that her English vocabulary is not as well developed/polished as mine (as a romance language speaker who doesn't need to do virtually any upkeep wrt writing/reading skills and who enjoys vocabulary overlap between english and latin-originated words, etc)
That's my secret. I'm always burned-out.

This is a bit of a tangent, but after I used Clojure for a while, I found the default ratio type is really neat compared to floats.

It seems to me that with modern machines, performance is not the first priority. Floats have caused too many surprising, costly, and dangerous bugs. IMO new programming languages should really consider using safer types like decimals and ratios by default, and floats are there for those who want further optimizations.

> if someone can't write clear, clean, and understandable code, why does anyone expect them to be able to write clear, clean, and understandable English

Isn't the answer to that obvious? The code is significantly constrained in form by having to be executable. The comments have no such restriction.
While surely not the source of the saying, antirez argues in a similar direction:

> You may think that writing comments is a lesser noble form of work. After all you can code! However consider this: code is a set of statement and function calls, or whatever your programming paradigm is. Sometimes such statements do not make much sense, honestly, if the code is not good. Comments require always to have some design process ongoing, and to understand the code you are writing in a deeper sense. On top of that, in order to write good comments, you have to develop your writing skills. The same writing skills will assist you writing emails, documentation, design documents, blog posts, and commit messages.

In any case, you're making a good point, though I would argue that the reverse of the saying (with the modification that "expectations" get replaced with "trust") also holds:

If someone is not able to write intelligible, stringent English, I wouldn't trust them to write good code, either, because writing good code requires similar qualities (good stringent structure, empathizing with the future reader of your code etc.) and, as antirez argues convincingly, it also requires writing comments (which are in plain English).
History will find that GoDaddy is on the wrong side.

Science tells us babies in the womb feel pain not long after a heartbeat. We wouldn't put up with some sicko putting electronic probes on a baby in the womb to inflict pain on it. Why would we allow someone to kill it?

Think through it. A baby in the womb is a human. At some point, we have to determine when it has rights.

The website is completely unusable to anyone who doesn’t have a LinkedIn account. And it requires you to sign up before showing any content whatsoever. But the worst thing is how it strings you along. When you click “View Listings” you don’t expect to be forced to sign up with an email address first. I did that, then in order to continue I had to fill out another form with “all fields required” where one of those fields is to point to a LinkedIn account. And based on other comments here, apparently to get any value you need premium anyway. I can’t stand sites that use these dark patterns.
Yeah, definitely i have never been to a football game, let alone have been to a football stadium. Good job divining that out about a random stranger on internet. What a discovery.

I don't think so. Folks shouldn't sacrifice quality of life (moving to rural areas versus areas they might desire more) to tip the state faster than it will already tip. It's just a matter of time, governed by the birth, immigration (domestic and foreign), and death rate.

It's just a matter of time (I don't say that lightly, I have made my donations to support relief efforts from recent policy decisions).

I also happen to be black but that actually has very little bearing on what I have to say and am merely mentioning it to prevent anyone from suggesting that my opinion on the matter is related to my skin color.

The problem with this is no one actually trained the AI to have a racially bias but rather did not train it on recognizing the difference. Why? Probably because no one knew the computer was going to identify this resemblance and immediately label it as such (I have heard babies learning to talk and name shapes/colors do the exact same thing with no outside influence) Computer vision operates on matrices of color coordinates that share resemblances with other similar matrices and attempts to match patterns between multiple sets to establish resemblance. It is not the fault of the computer or the programmer that there are coincidental resemblances that exceed it’s learned threshold where it decides that the two sets represents objects of the same type.

I personally am ok with admitting that my skin color visually is more similar to images of certain non human primates and can understand why this problem is not a programmer bias but actually a complicated computer vision problem as it’s easy to spot the resemblance but often difficult to train a neural net on why the images resemble eachother but are not related.

No leetcode. I had a series of phone interviews, they asked for multiple code samples, and they contacted references and current/former customers. 10X was more interested in my communication and consistency with customers, and my ability to get new customers on my own. They are big on soft skills, listening to the customer, understanding business requirements, consistent communication. Technical ability matters of course, but freelance contracts usually succeed or fail for reasons other than understanding algorithms. My niche is taking over legacy systems and failed/failing projects, which few programmers want to do, and the 10x founders who interviewed me liked that angle.

Before 10X gave me any projects I met with two of the founders, at a party they threw in San Francisco.
