Oddly, I'd say headcount can often be a driver of complexity.

In two ways, one being that more people legit need a more complicated system. You want that so that they interact with the system, not with each other.

The other being a bit of a Parkinson's Law. That is specifically that you will expand work to fit the allocated time; but I posit that you will also expand work to fit the people doing it. So, more people pushing ideas into the codebase will keep more ideas in the codebase. Even if fewer would work.
As I understand, OpenAI started as a non-profit entity and has taken on large donations. Then, the for-profit entity has been created and is using the technology developed by the non-profit entity, which was developed presumably by using the donated funds.
So, maybe it's not about altruism at all, but instead Sam Altman is just protecting himself against potential lawsuits from the donors? There was probably some agreement on how the technology will be used.

Elon Musk has donated $100M USD, and does not look happy about the developments, based on his tweets.

This blog compiles some of the common customisations on ExpansionTile so that we’ve one place to refer to, and don’t need to search for them each time.
The annoying truth is that what the correct fingering is changes depending on your hand size. So the real thing to learn is “what’s the right way to hold your hand and body at a keyboard to not cause long term damage” and then see what fingerings come out from that for your hand size. Unfortunately, don’t have a good resource there.
OTOH, a lot of customers probably aren't too worried about low severity, local attack vector bugs.
Random inflation trivia if these retirees wanted $1M (nominal dollars, as a goalpost) for retirement while headed into their prime earning years:

In my opinion LLM's are easier to learn, hard to master.

Anyone can use chatgpt to make something happen for them. Want something specific and amazing? You need to take some time to learn about how it works and how you can make it do what you want.

Heck, you can probably ask it how to make it do what you want.
> It needs to be unlocked for every incoming connection.

Yep. Well, certificates exist exactly to bridge the GP's requirement with your reality.
Seems like Linux might be a "reasonable accommodation".
> The bottom line is, at some point in time, automation is going to reduce the amount of human work which needs to be done

Jevons paradox [0] proposes that as automation reduces the cost of labor then people will find new uses for automation, and this seems to be the historical trajectory. Hundreds of years since the industrial revolution and we still haven't run out of work to do (this could be better or worse given your philosophical premises).

> and render some folks unemployable

If automation truly causes more actually productive work to be done, then as a first-order effect there should be a surplus available to support these people without making anyone else (much) worse off. However as you observe the higher-order consequences of this are very much an open issue.

For a second I suspected the author may have been German as the month is literally called Februar in German. Alas that doesn't seem to be the case.
But with the plugins they announced yesterday this should no longer be an issue. You'll be able to easily connect other APIs or data sources to OpenAI so that your model will write the code exactly the way you want.
Maybe they could have used a LLM to expend their message a bit
What high horse? I live in the West, and I subscribe to modern Western values. I don’t think homosexuality should be punished in any way, here where I live. But what makes that belief universal? Pushing it on people with completely different cultural contexts and historical backgrounds is no different from what “enlightened” Europeans did to these same people in the past. It is just hard for us to see that today because it is our current morality. And yes, many people today and throughout history do not share our current moral system, obviously.
Wow I just played with this for a while - I've never had the opportunity to see and hear the waves at the same time and really enjoyed it. It was really neat getting the frequencies close in binaural mode and hearing the pulsing of the phases being slightly off. Thanks for sharing!
I'm certainly not convinced that they are altruistic, but they don't seem to be a hard, cold business either (after all, why would Altman not have taken equity if that was the case).
Microsoft owns 49% IIRC. Prob a bunch of the other folks who pledged $ at the beginning as well (Thiel, Musk, etc)
The whole not being part of the problem thing I'd say. We are all paying for those perks one way or another.
you are completely right, but for today I strictly want to see google burn for all the things they have done, all the companies that got killed by them (including some friends getting laid off and so on) and destroying the open web (www) I really loved into the current cesspool of spam and crap.

after that, we can have a look into microsoft again, and I expect that the AI tech will be democratized/public by then, iE as the final strikes a dying google (or meta) can do. therefore, I am not worried so far

For some reason they didn't want to cash in before?
I'm worried less about the lettuce (which we have little control over) and more about what's sprayed on the lettuce (which we do have control over). It seems like man-made chemicals added to food have a significantly higher probability of harming humans than digging something straight out of the ground and eating it, even if it's GMO.

Auto-Analyst is a powerful UI tool that simplifies the process of running analytical queries on your data using plain English. With Auto-Analyst, you can easily perform complex data aggregations, visualizations, and analyses without writing a single line of code.
It's still an open question if any of these models, trained on copyright work, will themselves be eligible for copyright protection.
1) because open source software has no cost, and

2) the value of machine learning training on any one particular piece of source code also approaches zero

If a model replaces a business case for software you were giving away for free, how are you financially harmed? Even if you won a lawsuit you can't demonstrate any financial impact of software you give away for free.
Yes but it's good that for once the desperate move is not so reckless.

I'd never thought about it from this angle, but I think you're right. The Cop Spectacle might be our substitute entertainment for the old public executions. We can't show [public enemy du jour] being torn apart by lions in the arena anymore, but we can show drug dealers and terrorists being gunned down by the thousands in pop TV shows. They worshipped gladiators, we worship cops.
As someone who doesn't live in the UK, the impression I get from headlines is that the UK is becoming poorer by the day, the NHS has collapsed, crime is exploding, poverty is rising, most people can't afford anything anymore, the Royal Mail is hanging by a thread, and the economy is in free fall.

What's the reality? In London and outside?
If BNPL was the same as credit cards, then why not just use credit cards?

BNPL often ignores credit check or specifically targets groups that credit cards would deem too risky.

For me this doubles the problem with the BNPL space: not only are the predatory, but I have serious concerns about their own risk management.

I knew of a start up that was experimenting with running their own BNPL service with zero credit checks. The users that were being targeted had a 30+% default rate (because other users had credit cards) but the upper bound of interest that could be charged was around 25%... the company seriously didn't understand why they weren't able to make profit on this product. But hey, revenue did grow which is all VCs cared about so it worked for them.

"OpenAI"

I guess the name was still fine?
My experience was different than yours. I had an existential crisis, and it only got worse the more I used it. To be clear, I did not think ChatGPT was ready to replace me now (and, mind you, I only used the 3.5 version of ChatGPT). But it was so easy for me to see how in just a few years it can accelerate its pace of learning.

I was discussing a bug with a colleague, so for curiosity's sake I decided to plug a similar question into ChatGPT. I was quite impressed with the solution it gave, and interestingly, it had the same subtle bug that our code had. What blew me away is that when I pointed out the bug, ChatGPT fixed the code by itself. On one hand I felt "phew, at least it needed me to point out the bug", but then I thought "I just (perhaps stupidly) provided training data so that down the road ChatGPT would get it right the first time."
I think some people's objection to the term is that they think it's just American animation and Japanese animation, why does Japan need a special term?

But there are clear stylistic differences between many cultures and separate terms for them are inevitable. Japan definitely has a family of styles preferred there, versus American animation styles. (Note my plural.) Europe has different styles too, as does the many cultures of the rest of Asia that isn't Japan, and I'm sure if large animation industries start up elsewhere they will all end up with distinguishable styles too.

Anime doesn't just distinguish between anime and "not anime"; it specifically identifies the Japanese styles. For this purpose it's fine, and I kinda think that anyone who is objecting to it doesn't understand the number of styles in the world already, not to mention the ones I'm sure we'll see develop over the next decades.
it seems that it's the manually manipulated ones that are at the forefront...

> I need to look closer. It does appear that the Millions implementation will get flagged as manual manipulation. So that might get changed to one a bit slower. I can't imagine anyone writing this code
What about grocery store profit margins?

> Bread was up 20.8%, with pasta products and couscous up 25.3%

This is unjustified. Under no circumstances could this happen unless a) price gauging, or b) supply chain is drying up.

Edit for the ignorant:

> The UK is largely self-sufficient in production of grains, producing over 100% of domestic consumption of oats and barley and over 90% of wheat. Average yields over recent decades have been broadly stable but fluctuate from year to year as a result of better or worse weather. Increasingly unpredictable and extreme weather as a result of climate change is likely to exacerbate these fluctuations. Wheat yields in 2020 were the lowest since 1981 due to of unusually bad weather. However, preliminary data indicates they have since increased in 2021.

> In meat, milk, and eggs, the UK produces roughly equivalent volume to what it consumes. In 2020 it produced 61kg of meat, 227L of milk and 172 eggs per person per year. By value, the UK is a net importer of dairy and beef. This reflects UK consumer preferences for eating higher value products, while lower value products are exported.

> The UK produces a significant proportion of its other crop needs, including around 60% of sugar beet, 70% of potatoes and 80% of oilseeds. Apart from a recent pest-related reduction in oilseeds, these proportions have remained stable over the last ten years. Climate change represents a risk to production both in terms of making conditions unsuitable for some crops and allowing new pests to proliferate but it may also benefit new types of crops.

> The UK produces over 50% of vegetables consumed domestically, but only 16% of fruit. 93% of domestic consumption of fresh vegetables was fulfilled by domestic and European production, while fruit supply is more widely spread across the EU, Africa, the Americas, and the UK.

Assholes. Don't call it LoRA!

There's already a technology called LoRa!

Fuck I hate this crap. Be better than this.
You never watch any video content on anything but a TV? Make any content like a game or website? Having a universal ratio makes all these things a lot simpler.

Until 4k became more popular maybe five years ago, the vast majority of devices were 1920x1080, plus a series of budget 1366x768 devices but that's the same ratio. Upscaling an integer factor to 4k is also convenient and doesn't cause any issues, just makes everything sharper.

It's when you start to mess with the ratio that you need to suddenly account for different people having different things in view. You can't simply scale a hero image (or game scene or so) to 20:9 without everything becoming contorted, you need to start to crop, but then you're hiding information so now you need to add optional parts that don't look out of place when shown and can also be hidden without consequence.

How about subsistence farming?
No disrespect to the author intended, but the above comment is muddled.

1. OpenAI, the organization, is not equivalent to its chat offering.

2. Saying "the" real risk isn't persuasive. Let's examine many risks before claiming one is the most significant. Also, "real" is this usage often a throwaway (i.e. unneeded) word, in editor speak.

3. Let's talk about OpenAI's "business model" (though such discussions are tricky).

3A. Originally, OpenAI wasn't trying to "hold onto" AI advancements. It claimed to be a broadly funded way to explore fundamental questions of artificial intelligence in a non-commercial, ethical way.

3B. Of course, the above claim was largely aspirational, because it wasn't baked into their DNA in way that could survive the surrounding temptations for more funding, glory, and resources.

3C. Even with their more commercialized model of the last several years, it seems their business model feels like (a) fundraise in exchange for (b) (claimed) collective good open source, tools and shared research.

3D. OpenAI feels to me more and more like a commercial research lab; there does seem to be a lot of commercial partnering with their funding organizations (e.g. Microsoft).

4. I doubt the leadership there views the current ChatGPT models as unchanging. I expect there is a considerable revenue stream around the space. OpenAI is well positioned to play the game several steps ahead of others.

I would frame the broader question this way: for many years, there has been a hunger for this deeper AI research, due not only to (i) the expertise and resources required, but also (ii) to this hope that there is an organization that can maybe keep it within human or ethical bounds.

Unfortunately, this amorphous hope doesn't seem to be matching the actual organizational incentives nor dynamics. It is also unclear how much demand the public in free market will have for nobler research.

My position on these kinds of things is simple: follow the money. If we want an accountable public interest, AI research laboratory it's going to have to be designed, funded, and overseen very differently.
> You know that there is basically a standard set, imposed by Windows in about 1986 or something and also supported in GNOME 2, MATE, Xfce, LXDE, etc etc.? I am more interested in if it supports them. I mean, I don't know what your set are, and I am not for a moment saying there's anything wrong with them, but there are standards for this stuff, used heavily by millions of blind computer users for example

Yes, and the terminal not copy pasting with ctrl-c infuriates me: it's long be remapped to ctrl-x (right next!) on mine to achieve consistency.

As for the general shortcuts, it seems to, and the extra ones I wanted because I'm used to them (ex: Win+Shift+S = snipping tool) I could add easily. Now it's effortless to do the same thing I did before (Win+L locks etc)

> > Then make the panel vertical instead of horizontal

> Why don't any of the screenshots show that, then?

A lot of the information is implicit to a domain: a video of bash not showing handling of say SIGTERM shouldn't be taken to mean it doesn't handle them, the good old absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

> From that, I don't think it's unreasonable to conclude this is not a core feature or something.

Core features are more like what most people tastes converge to. You are to pick app to achieve your desired end result: waybar for example is not part of hyprland, it's often used with it, because it's complementory like say bash and vi, even if there are other possible choices

Anyway, seriously give it a try- to the likes of fzf too. We have a lot of cool/better tech than existed in 2011, about 12 years ago

Your previous upgrade cycles were 3 years, so I think you're long overdue - might as well take the best there's now!

BTW check the discussion about fzf from a few days ago here it's another great set of recent-ish tools https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35248098

If you do upgrade, I suggest not trying to take any of your old tools if they are not wayland native it's often not the effort: there's a replacement somewhere, you just may not know about it, but it will certainly do a better job once you find it

I say all that super seriously: I really love my new stack, it gives me leves of productivity I had only been able to reach in Windows (the UI is wonderful if you know how to use it with the right keystrokes)
Hmm Apple really put a ton of money into making their touch bar work and even they couldn't manage to make it actually useful. If they couldn't do it, framework has no chance.

I would have been a lot less critical about the touch bar if it hadn't replaced the function key row though. That one is mandatory for me, and there was more than plenty room on MacBooks to have both at the same time.
I’m aghast that using a general purpose AI for general purposes is treated as a malicious act and censured as such. “No! Not those tokens!!”
Is this at least partially Brexit related? For comparison, the US has seen food go up by around 10% over the same time period, which is pretty high but also far from 18%.

It depends on how recent the motherboard and GPU is, if you have an NVidia dGPU. If you have a GPU made in the last two years and a recent CPU, it works automatically out of the box with X11. On older systems, it's pretty technical, but thankfully many distributions now come with tools that handle it all for you and give you a button you can click to turn it off.
Yes, the ZIP on Google Drive owned by one of their engineers is weird considering they have a pretty active GitHub presence of open source projects, though it does use an Apache license like their others.

Perhaps Databricks suspected another big announcement coming soon and wanted to get this announcement out?
This was predicted when Ukraine was invaded. Russia and Ukraine were the world's leading producers of the ingredients in fertilizer.

They are now no longer exporting, and many countries in the world are getting 50% or more of their calories from import. Things will get better before they get worse.
I’m not terribly worried. Though I assume my work will begin to resemble that of the Adeptus Mechanicus rather than proper engineering.

The fact is that anyone who understands even at a basic level what the computer is actually doing and isn’t afraid to look at it at a low level can’t be replaced by an AI trained on stack overflow.

It may be that I will spend more of my time on code review of LLM generated code, or make my money in the new kinds of legacy code created by copy pasting ChatGPT snippets together instead of SEO optimized stack overflow scrapes.

For me the outcome is the same. The skills I need to be more effective than the machine are the exact same as they were decade, century or even millennium ago. I still don’t see these LLMs do any synthesis of knowledge, and they don’t seem to have a grasp of logic or grammar at the level I expect a bright middle school student to have.
Maybe it's the new old way of making known to the reader that an LLM was not used, like back in the day when printed maps had minor intentional mistakes (for entirely different reasons though) !
The demagoguery was bipartisan.
The FDIC doesn't cap all deposits at the limit when they take over a bank. That would be insanity.

What they do is insure all deposits up to the limit.

When a bank fails, the assets are used to pay out the depositors (similar to a bankruptcy). If the assets are enough to cover 90% of deposits, then depositors will be made 90% whole. The insured amount is the *exception* to this process, where your amounts below the insured limit will be made whole even when there is an asset shortfall.

I don't think the law would allow the FDIC to cap depositors at the insurance limit, even if the underlying assets are enough to make the depositors whole.
For me, it's clawing back a couple percent against the tx fee, they effectively charge every other customer.

WSJ is classic economic conservative- and has slowly leaned more and more leftwards (towards the center) socially over the past decade. Same place the NYT ended up- probably an outcome of socially liberal people becoming wealthy and realizing that there are problems with extremely left politics.

It's been a really fascinating shift to watch which is also not completely surprising.

It’s worth noting this is the 7B model (nonquantized). You can get this running on pretty much any GPU with 8GB VRAM and above. You can run the 13B model but that would take two GPU or reducing FP16 to FP8 (I haven’t tried it myself). A single connection for chatgpt is rumored to require 8X A100.
> As someone who just decided to learn React (and modern javascript, after 1.5 decades or so of not programming in javascript at all) in the past month or two, I've been extremely frustrated by the documentation (in particular) and the whole state of flux that it's in (in general).

As someone who was in a similar boat (2 decades of .Net essentially, with a lot of HTML/JS but no frameworks), I found jumping into Angular very nice in this regard.

New versions every 6 months but not with "changing things for the sake of change", actual small but incremental improvements. The documentation I've found to be great, and since it is "opinionated" it easy to jump between multiple projects and not feel completely lost.

It seems a lot of flak that Angular gets is because it is "opionated" but I look at this as a major positive.

I've jumped between React projects and have been bewildered at how different they all are.

The whole framework vs. library thing.
Obviously, inflation will destroy the value of wealth, and disincentivise future investment, so in order to reduce inflation, we need to raise interest rates.
