The point is Elon wanted to be Open. Altman made it Closed and on top of that applied a neoliberal alignment to the output of ChatGPT. I still have a copy of some horrific things ChatGPT has said despite admitting to the existence of evidence that prove its aligned position was wrong (and harmful.) There is a ton of brainwashing aka alignment being applied by politically and culturally motivated and biased OpenAI folks. The fish rots from the head down. Make whatever you want out of this venting.

But let's focus on the thing being funded to be Open and Transparent then Altman turning it into a Closed and Opaque For-Profit and Calling for Regulations to give him a moat because he knows he has none without it. That's the weasel act.
A better way of quantifying this would be to look at the impact of real life source code leaks. I'm not aware of any significant monetization of the windows source leak, for example.
Svelte is pretty pleasant, compared to React. It's fundamentally a JS-to-JS compiler that adds reactive assignments, and ridiculously much more usable than useEffectHopeThisWasTheRightThing.

let count = 1;

// this is reactive
$: doubled = count * 2;

function handleClick() {
count += 1;

> Wow you really are into telling people what they should do.

Saying "6502 is not a good platform for learning assembly" is simply not the same thing as saying "you should not learn assembly language with a 6502 assembler", and I don't understand how you're interpreting it that way.

It's just giving you my opinion and advice. By your own logic, you are now trying to censor my ability to give that opinion and advice. That's bad too, right? Why are you "telling me what to do"?

Chill. Opinions are OK. If you don't agree, that's fine. But a better response is a reasoned counter argument and not "don't say that".

> Please stop considering living in a rural place as a bad life.

Just FYI, while I live in a city, I adore the countryside and would rather live there.

But depending on the country or area, it can be mired in substantial poverty. So without knowing any details before, I'd just have urged you to consider that in thinking about what to teach these people as they might prioritize something different than pure computer science theory.

> The vast majority of 6502 code today runs in emulation

Emulating a 6502 isn’t that popular, so _if_ there’s even a single commercial product still using a 6502, I would guess that could easily run more 6502 cycles in total than are getting emulated.

Now, are there any? I wouldn’t know, but

- it seems you can still buy new (they’re RoHS compliant, so I don’t think they have stocks going back decades that they’re selling) 6502 CPUs (https://www.westerndesigncenter.com/wdc/HowToOrder.php)

- It was true during the Tamagotchi craze (https://hackaday.com/2013/05/24/tamagotchi-rom-dump-and-reve...: “it was a huge chore just to figure out what processor this uses. It turned out to be a 6502 core with a few other things built in”), but that’s over 20 years ago.

So, where, if anywhere, are these things being used?
Ummm, just give us more size variants, not less.

> Have you dreamed making the frontend and backend of your site in the same language, or building the same game in PC, Mobile and Nintendo 3DS from the same codebase and just a few commands? I do, and shark is my attempt at doing it.

Sorry, you might think that I am rude, but I am not.

I quite applaud your determination and your good will to work so hard and release an usable programming language. I didn't do that.

I was just wondering if a Python like language is a good fit for front-end programming.

I never dreamed about using one tool for everything but it happened. Nowadays I use C#/.NET for almost everything.
The one where they pretended to be a charity and solicited donations? I mean, I'm sure it's not actually criminal and their lawyers dotted all the i's and crossed the t's, but it is pretty disgusting.
There are a lot of reasons.

First, we’re not talking to kids about intercourse. We’re saying kids need to have some amount of knowledge about this stuff that is appropriate for their age.

For example, small kids who are put into the care of strangers need to be aware that adults are not allowed to touch them without permission. They need to know the proper names for their private parts because it’s more difficult to understand if a kid is being abused when they’re using strange euphemisms. They need to understand that they shouldn’t be ashamed to tell an adult if someone touches them in a way that makes them uncomfortable.

Are these conversations I want to have with my young child? Hell no! But they’re necessary for a kid his age. I wouldn’t be doing my job as a parent if I didn’t teach him these things.

The reality is that it’s going to be a series of age appropriate conversations every few years, because he’s going to need to know a little more as he gets older.

And if parents are sending their kids into the world without this kind of age appropriate information then they’re putting their kids at serious risk for abuse. Frankly, this is the kind of situation where I’d be glad that schools and libraries are making age appropriate materials like this available for kids; to help the kids whose parents aren’t doing their jobs.
There are examples where policing does work.

See Japan and Singapore. Also note those two places have the lowest incidence of drug use and homelessness.

It could be because of the viciousness of the punishment. In the US the punishment matches the degree of the crime in the sense that if you sell drugs you get a punishment that you deserve.

In Singapore if you get caught selling over 500mg of weed you are executed via death penalty. The punishment does not match the crime, but rather the punishment is designed to be as effective as possible in eliminating the crime all together via deterrence and Darwinian artificial selection.

Policing DOES work, it's just most people, you included, are drug users. So you want to end homelessness, you want to stop people from over-abusing drugs, but as a casual user yourself you don't want to be put to death either or anything like that so you have to find some middle ground that works. The problem is there is no middle ground. The US drug war was middle ground and as you and your articles pointed out, it was largely NOT effective.

From a personal standpoint I don't use drugs. Morally I'm more of a middle ground type of a person. I think moderation isn't a big deal. Objectively though, since I have no skin in the game, I would support Singaporean measures to stop drugs and homelessness all together.
I love my home automation setup, but it was slap in the face to get started and realise how brittle and poorly maintained this technology is, versus the hype that surrounds it.

It makes for great demos in keynotes, followed by adoring media regurgitation, but actually try to set it up and nothing works as it’s meant to. The benefits outweigh the costs to me, but it’s only suitable for technically inclined folks with a lot of patience or those who are willing to outsource the whole process. An average consumer can’t just setup their lights/aircon/curtains to be voice controlled out of the box.

This has been my experience for both Google and Alexa. Google’s app is particularly slow and tedious. Routines take several seconds to load and save. Neither platform has anything resembling a proper programming module with reusable code, ability to pull in open source modules, or listening to input and using it as variables.

Unlike Alexa, you can’t even add sound effects to a routine with Google Home. This is a platform built around “smart” speakers.

The voice interaction on both platforms is just not smart or contextual. ChatGPT highlights that.
> why would Altman not have taken equity if that was the case

Because he is already at the more-money-than-god level and it’s more valuable for him to just leverage the “altruism”.

Major daily newspapers are very good about this already.

Every time the Washington post uses the word ‘Amazon’ they note who their owner is. The New York Times has a public editor whose sole job it is to crap on the broader NYT organization when they get stuff exactly like this wrong.

There are many, many lower quality organizations which aren’t careful, but the major newspapers are good on this.
They are not suing anybody, just because it’s open source doesn’t mean talking about bugs is taboo. It reads to me like raw information, very good. They said they contacted authors helping with upstream bug fix. It’s great example how to deal with this kind of problems if anything to me.

>Yahoo (RIP) was by reputation as community-minded and pro-open-source as a for-profit business citizen can get.

As someone who went through Yahoo acquisition and total bungling of tumblr, where community feedback fell on deaf ears, that's news to me. (Granted, the next owners were the ones who immediately managed to drop the userbase by like 80%, so maybe you're not totally wrong)
Why mention it is open source then? What does that add?
I don't know, I guess I'd have to measure the accurate rate of the average personal tutor and then wait for it to cross that threshold.

That's an excellent point. While a human model may not "look like you," at least he's wearing an instance of the actual product you're going to buy. Who knows how what the AI model is shown to be "wearing" relates to that.
I prefer accuracy over placating your public relations ego

Yep, agreed. Most new shows seem “important” but not what I wanted to listen to at any point in time, and kinda depressing and without humor or levity. It felt like the social mission shifted and even if I agreed with some or many of the goals, that wasn’t why I was listening
US still has explicitly racist policies. For instance:

To apply for Hawaiian homelands land lease you may be: any descendant of not less than one-half part of the blood of the races inhabiting the Hawaiian Islands previous to 1778.

Guess who was shipwrecked in the Islands before 1778? Spaniards. You think someone with Spanish/Euro "race" blood can get a Hawiian Homelands lease? Fuck no.

Also see racist policies of American Samoa.
There's nothing wrong with no longer wanting to distribute a 25 year old application that you no longer support development tools for. However your comment is completely disingenuous. One of the first links I ran into was a massive support article from Microsoft about how they will still allow VB6 applications to run on Windows and gave detailed instructions/tools on upgrading a Visual Basic project so you can continue development and don't lose all the work.

> While the Visual Basic 6.0 IDE is no longer supported, Microsoft's goal is that Visual Basic 6.0 applications continue to run on supported Windows versions. The resources available from this page should help you as you maintain existing applications, and as you migrate your functionality to .NET.[0]

This is much better support than other companies provide for discontinued platforms. Do you personally want to be on the hook for a version of your software you wrote/released 25 years ago? Especially if you've released what you consider to be improved upgrades of the software? Would you even be willing to help users upgrade from your 25 year old software? If the answer to any of those is no, then you're providing a very skewed perspective on what reasonable support for a product looks like. And once again, Microsoft is still writing articles 20 years after the initial release to help users upgrade. For all the bad crap Microsoft does, completely abandoning widely used frameworks is not one of them.

This already happened with Google+ back in the day. There was a massive hype… then they didn’t deliver after launch.

Facebook wasn’t just as dominant back then and Google could have had perfect integration with Android - but they didn’t, in the end it was just another isolated Google project left by the wayside.
This assumes one knows how scalable such a generous free offering will be forever, on day one. Much more likely they were basically dumping to undercut the competition and gain market share.

Though I suppose some startups are genuinely naive enough to just launch and hope they'll find a revenue stream rich enough later.
We can only LARP as ubermensch alpha males for so long. Eventually something will give; I suspect it will be a generational divide like none other. Arguably you see the seeds of this already with things like incels opting out of conventional aspirations.

It's harsh, but it isn't wrong, right? The reason that these states of being are considered 'disorders' is because they interfere with daily life and with tasks that other people consider to be easy.

I need to take a lot of time to edit my writing and to re-evaluate the content that I write because it is easy for me to slip into a multi-paragraph tangent. Fundamentally that happens because my thinking is not sharp/focused.

On the other hand, when I am done writing I get a feeling of great accomplishment. Like I was able to swim through the deep waters of my mind and harpoon all the good ideas. Being smart isn't worth much if you can't communicate your ideas!
if we look at the last 30 years: yes. The IT industry doesn't seem to be developing towards anything that resembles efficiency or minimization of work. For every useless technology, a caste of users and a caste of experts are created in order to be able to absorb the information that can be generated.

The information society is a machine maximizing information exchange, something that only incidentally implies increasing profit or increasing productivity.

I haven't seriously used Windows in a long time and vaguely remember some rumblings between Vista <> 7 <> 8 but have Microsoft ever really had a trust issue with respect to supporting their software? That's kind of their whole thing isn't it?
Yeah, those are legitimate allegations as far as I am experienced.

When I was in high school and college in the 90s I used to hang around with various punks in Amarillo.

I worked with a guy bussing tables Abuelo's who was part of being molested by that dude. It was kind of common knowledge among the people I was around, but being young and dumb it just sounded like stuff that happened, or maybe even something that young gay dudes might not be opposed to doing for fun.

For context this was in the years around the time Brian Deneke was murdered.

The horrific fuck-up-ed-ness of that town was lost on me until later in life.

But yeah, lots of cool art from that old guy, and the punk scene there was sometimes more interesting than Lubbock so I guess that's a thing.
The faster you build the future, the higher your KPI targets will be next quarter.
None of that is a personal insult, or any insult. It's an assertion - if you have not yet identified or seen the massive boost ChatGPT will give, that means you're not looking and the conversation is necessarily coming to an end because you need to pay some attention first.

The ag sector only needs to because they are being forced to by people who have no idea what it takes to run a farm.
Very common at large companies. When I was an IT industry analyst I remember talking to someone at IBM about some new business initiative and they basically said if it didn't have serious potential to grow to a billion dollar business at some point, it wasn't interesting.

At large companies, there are just so many costs associated with attention, management effort, and everything else even if an initiative is sort of run "as a startup."
> What they really mean, is, easy way to make money off unsuspecting people via something that should probably be illegal, and would be in a different context (i.e. bait and switch).

When a service is free I don't think you can say it's a bait and switch when the one offering can no longer afford giving so much away.

Even for paid services, there is no guarantee prices won't rise once a contract expires, or at the next billing cycle. Now if they had promised free forever then perhaps a case could be made for false advertising.
