Ask HN: How did Sam Altman fail upward so well?
I'm constantly surprised by the fact that Sam Altman is the one in charge of OpenAI. As far as I know, he dropped out of college to start a company that folded (Edit: this is wrong, he sold it, was a bust for investors though), ended up advising companies at YCombinator, Paul G liked him, and he just sort of made lots of connections. Then he became CEO of Open AI? I'm likely missing a step, right?

Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's a moron or anything, but it's fascinating to me that he doesn't have ANY of the following things that I'd assume makes one qualified:
* Published AI research
* Sold a company
* Worked at a Unicorn or top tech company
* Reputation in OSS as a hacker/builder

Surely there's more to the story? Do people who he has advised at YCombinator all agree he's brilliant and insightful? What am I missing?

EDIT: I was wrong, he did sell a company. My mistake!

That does change things, but I'd like to hear more from people who have good things to say about him. Maybe he's given some amazing advice to really important companies that we're unaware of. It would be nice to hear more of how he got his reputation.
Yes it is, especially if it's posted with no evidence backing up the claims.

For all we know, this might be a private dispute between two people, and, if presented all the information, Bryan's side might be the side that sounds more reasonable...
Doesn't that make it even more unsafe? Two different systems that behave in different ways, one may require more intervention than the other. Car switches between the two when it wants and the driver is supposed to know the intricate differences between the two?
Violence is always abuse, and it’s significantly worse when an adult is targeting a child.
If it's abuse when done to an adult, it's abuse when done to a child. Doing any of this to an adult would be assault or battery in most countries. Of anyone hurt my child that way and the police didn't do anything, you can bet I'd find a way to give the abusers a taste of their own medicine.
This is beyond shitty behavior, especially considering that most OSS folks do it in their free time… uugghhh.
Bucket of salt.
Yeah personally I’d rather build a PC with efficient power supply and quiet, high performance cooling. No gaudy LEDs either, just a plain case. I want it to be very stable and reliable and unobtrusive.
That's true, any of my colleagues who have bought houses recently were dual-tech DINK and had to sell off a bunch of RSUs. Single-income folks just have to wait it out and hope prices come down, or just give up the narrow search and get some place in Tacoma :/
How would you disarm them without using physical force though? Especially as someone who likely wasn't trained in the art of hand-to-hand combat against an armed assailant.

I'm not saying beat them up, I'm saying stop them.
Penumbra has a scheme for trustless 3rd party scanning that they use for private addresses that you might be interested in. It uses a "Fuzzy Massage Detection" cryptographic protocol that is analogous to a Bloom filter, so you can delegate the scanning to a full node and ask a stream of transactions, which include all the transactions you care about plus some other false positives. https://protocol.penumbra.zone/main/crypto/fmd.html
Agree. Especially because they are used mostly to gauge a team’s velocity.

Years ago a friend of mine was considering a teaching job in North Carolina. She didn't want to travel alone so I agreed to come to keep her company. We got to the school, met the principal and he took us for a tour. During the tour I vividly remember the principal stating the rules around corporal punishment and at first I just laughed, thinking it was just a very odd joke. I then realized he was very much serious and just played it off as me misunderstand what he was saying. As soon as the tour was done my friend and I both got in the car and decided we needed to get the ** out of there.

I told this story to many people over the years and everyone thinks I'm making it up or just didn't hear right. Having a teacher tell me it's ok to hit kids felt like I stepped through a portal into another world.
> I really tend to hate "thou shalt start by writing tests" as some kind of immutable golden rule

The only study I've seen on this shows only tests were correlated with more correct programs, but doing tests first or last showed no significant difference.
My friend, this is the entire basis for the criminal justice system. We don’t just tolerate that logic, we have enshrined it in law.

Incarceration is an assault upon the person as much as a beating is - and incarceration usually involves plenty of beatings, regardless.

I get that and that is the selling point of the cloud and it makes total sense for some workloads like ML/Data Science.

However, once you move the companies infra to AWS (or any one cloud provider) and shutdown your infra, in due course AWS will keep increasing your price by x% every year. At the point you don't have a choice but to pay those price increases yoy. You have much less bargaining power.

I think hybrid cloud is the best way to go. You have lot of bargaining power and no one provider can hold you hostage.
On current memory, parity and correction get applied to the entire bus width. So with parity taking one bit, and correction taking log2(width) bits, it only requires 7-8 bits to apply both of them to an entire memory channel. (DDR4 has 64/72 bit channels, and DDR5 has 32/40 bit channels)

Really now? I would consider acute fear to be, at the very least, psychologically detrimental, if not to you then to the vast majority of people. Generally, fear is not conducive to a healthy learning environment.
I lived in Tennessee for a bit as a kid until about 7. The principal had this paddle hanging in his office, just menacingly looming there all the time. Every once in a while he'd hold these school-wide assemblies where the "worst" 2 or 3 kids would get paddled in front of everyone, adding this awful public humiliation. He had this fully bald head, and I have this distinct memory of his sweaty fucking face in that hot gym... I shave my head now due to some prior health issues. Every once in a while when I'm shaving, that image comes to mind and just that thought makes me boil a bit. I don't have kids, but I can't imagine how I'd react were someone doing this to them now.
Punishments should never be creative. That's an invitation for cruel and unusual punishment. Disciplining a child is not an appropriate time to exercise your imagination.
"My school had waterboarding on the menu".

When and where did you go to school?
Child abuse is any physical, emotional, or sexual mistreatment or neglect of a child.

Corporal punishment can be harmful to children and may lead to long-term negative outcomes, such as increased aggression, mental health problems, and poor academic performance.

That’s not to speak to who’s enforcing it and on who.
Now I'm imagining the class bully putting a frog inside another kids breeches and the teacher challenging him to pistols at dawn.
In school maybe, but hitting your child is much more frowned upon in the US than in Italy for example
Guess countries better not apply health care to longevity. Economic writers of course will demonstrate the economically correct actions as well, do their part to prevent too many elders from enjoying having made it.

Speak for yourself. The night master at my prep school would ensure that you thought of it every time you sat down for the next week.
I think it's a joke because I think I remember him pronouncing it differently in another talk.

it does not

what the hell is spanking then? you're not hitting the kid or hurting the kid apparently. is it just another term for a 'stern talking-to?'
> The only time I saw scrum masters really do anything was “leading” standup and “leading” planning meetings every other month

But, are they supposed to do something else? Been in many companies, and scrum masters are the most useless role out there. Somehow, they seem to be hired for who knows what reasons. Slowly, they are becoming less popular though. Now the trend seems to be Engineer Directors (middle management between Engineering Managers and C-level executives). Total waste once again.
This is pretty much how I work.

I describe my approach here[0].

I write tests and functionality together, and my tests are frequently harnesses; not "unit tests," as they are understood, today (In "the elder days," we used to call test harnesses "unit tests," but what did we know?).

The U.K., this would have been 89-94. The ban only extended to state-funded schools.
It's always funny how, when you engage with the "kinder, gentler" crowd, they immediately prove themselves morally unsophisticated. Striking a child is abuse and if your child was struck, you would take revenge by hitting the perpetrator. Okay.
Nah, they banned kids from bringing guns to school in the 90s.
> level 4, but in tightly geofenced areas. Tesla have no geofence

Can we get past this? Practically none of SDCs rely on geofence, not like precomputed routes and paths are necessary. Those are just for safety and for managing complexity for experiments.

It’s like trying to ridicule someone in a yellow vest for having to mind safety. Just pathetic.

There really needs to be one tool that combines installing, building, testing and running Python projects. This tool should be officially endorsed by core developers of Python and gradually added to the standard distribution model. The good starting point for this would be Pip.

It is de facto standard tool for installing packages. It can be extended to do more.

Also, the standard should favor pure-Python packages, in order to untangle Python from it's legacy as a glue language for modules written in C(++). Otherwise, no progress will be made at the language level and Python will die out once C becomes legacy language, replaced by safer systems programming languages.

We need to learn from Java's and Javascript's ecosystems. Those languages are now used mostly in their pure form. They are portable, optimized and more stable than most languages. With enough care, Python can become the same.
Not how you're attempting to use it. You're using the "strike" to make it seem like a powerful blow.

A light slap on the bum is entirely different and that's what I'm talking about.

Holding hands with an officer without permission would end you up in jail.

Grabbing an item from the officer without permission would end you up in jail.

North Carolina has one of the weaker municipal prohibitions on corporal punishment --- Charlotte prohibits most cases of corporal punishment, requires it to take place with another teacher as witness and away from other students, requires parental notification, and, to administer it at all, requires parental consent (albeit opt-out consent). It's not a great system.

On the other hand, in the '20-'21 school year, not one instance of corporal punishment was reported in all of North Carolina. Whatever else it is in NC, it's not common.

Obviously, at this point, with it so infrequent and so circumscribed, they should just ban it statewide.
They do it with rear I/O too. Motherboards with anything but workstation or flagship consumer chipsets typically have an anemic port selection, which is silly because for many half the reason to choose building a desktop over buying a laptop is to be able to plug in a lot of stuff without a bunch of hubs/docks/etc.
No. Just don't use "cloud" "services" like this or LassPass.
> A child in a similar situation could be removed from their home.

No, they couldn’t; in every one of those states (and many where corporal punishment in schools is prohibited) corporal punishment by parents or guardians is permitted.

> This feels like state sponsored child abuse.

It is.

> When does the federal government intervine?

It has very little authority to, excepy perhaps via funding mandates for schools. Were children considered a suspect class under the 14th Amendment (they seem to meet the usual test, but have not been so recognized), arguably the enforcement clause of the 14th Amendment might give a basis.

Practically speaking, 19 states is almost enough, alone, to block Congressional action via a Senate filibuster, so even if there was a Constitutional basis, federal action would be difficult.
That study is very old and is based on long-outdated DRAM tech. I suspect that DDR5 has much lower error rates.
And undervolting lets a CPU/GPU boost to higher frequency for longer before hitting power/temperature limits or just use less power to hit the same performance. There's a decent chance that any given chip can be undervolted enough to make a notable difference before becoming unstable.
I'm not sure why you're having a meltdown over this. You still haven't answered why someone needs compatibility breaking syntax sugar if you're already compiling to javascript.
> but it really is the case that we should disabuse ourselves from the notion that one should be entitled to life-saving care.

I couldn't disagree more. If it truly is life-saving (as opposed to death-prolonging) care, we really should _dedicate_ ourselves to the notion that each of us should be entitled to life-saving care. That should be an explicit part of the social contract.

Oh, and btw, society was NOT paying ~100k to keep your dad alive. Assuming you're here in the U.S., if you were looking at medical bills to figure out that number, SURPRISE! those numbers are just made up. (Seriously, they're fiction)

That's not to say that you made the wrong choice with your dad, mind you. We do tend to prolong life way past the point of cruelty in this country.
> It was the worst-case scenario for RAM failure: bit flip errors that get written back to the disk. I discovered that several video files that I had been editing had corrupted bits, and were no longer usable.

What a horrible failure mode! Kudos to the OP for even thinking to investigate this.

The mentioned memtest86 tool sounds quite useful - so useful, in fact, that it seems it should be part of the operating system. If my OS is perfectly willing to write corrupted memory back to disk, and it's designed to run on thousands of different OEM hardware configurations that may or may not have ECC RAM, then I would expect it to proactively monitor for faulty RAM and bitflips.

Is there a good reason why this isn't the default behavior of operating systems (maybe it is - I use Mac and don't know much about Windows)? It seems like a trivial diagnostic tool that could prevent a lot of headache. But perhaps the problem is there's no reliable test without some number of false positives, so popping a warning on the screen that your RAM appears unhealthy seems like a good way to confuse the average user. But then again, so does silently corrupting a video file.
It sounds like OP was just talking about the more direct language being used.
I am speaking for myself, it's my personal anecdote and life experiences.

I don't disagree that there's people that beat children in the world, that's different entirely and should be condemned.

Spanking should not hurt the child, if it does you're beating them.
> a multitude of bit flip errors

ECC can only report >1 bit flip per word. It can't correct it. If your memory is going bad, the chance of multiple bit failure is going to be much higher than the stray bit flip from other causes (mind you, I have 32GB ECC running right now and have seen zero bit flips over 1.5 years).

I'm not arguing against ECC. I have it and run it myself. But this blog post is an argument for ZFS and regular backups. Failures can occur at many other places than RAM. I had a drive that had corruption and I thought went bad. Turns out, bad SATA cable. A week later I upgraded from cable internet to 1Gbit fiber. My speeds were not at all what I expected. Turns out... bad ethernet cable. Lightning can strike twice I guess.

> By the way, you’d better believe that your disk(s) have all kinds of error correction schemes built into them, which work automatically and transparently.

https://www.unmc.edu/newsroom/2002/06/28/dr-larzelere-featur... - "There is general consensus that corporal punishment is effective in getting children to comply immediately while at the same time there is caution from child abuse researchers that corporal punishment by its nature can escalate into physical maltreatment," - E. T. Gershoff

Much like Abraham Wald pointed out in WWII, many studies are unintentionally magnifying the statistical outliers incorrectly. As Greg Wilson once said - (summarized) Gender inequity in science being biologically gender influenced is settled as false. The efficacy of corporal punishment is a scottish verdict.

The efficacy and/or benefit of corporal punishment, is undecided.
