If nobody were able to socialise the cost of going in a foreign country and killing people, there would be no war.

If the government didn't steal my money against my will on threat of incarceration, there is no way in hell I'd spend my money on bullets to kill someone's son in another country.
1000% this.

I have routine procedures that require 2 days just for the procedures. Then a half day for travel. The hospital is 2.5 hours away. One of those days is a prep day so I don't venture to far from the hotel.

And this is a yearly occurrence. Now if I have an acute episode that is a 3 day stay (at a local hospital). Which, luckily this only happens every other year or so.

Basically if I take any time off that is true vacation days I have to make sure I have plenty of days on the books in case I get sick or know I will be having to make doctor appointments in the next few months.
> Abolishing the copyright clause would not solve this problem because OpenAI is not leveraging copyright or patents. They're just not releasing anything.

Like contemporary language models, some HN commenters read the text itself in isolation and then extrapolate about “what that means” but then immediately jump to the conclusion that whatever real-world (beyond the text) that they imagine will eventually happen has in fact already happened—in effect they’re hallucinating.
> My understanding is that in the US, your property tax is assessed annually and the person doing it presumably uses market comparables to determine the taxable price - I don’t know if they work backwards from a target, but that sounds odd to me.

In my county they will definitely work back from a goal. The county will determine the budget for the coming year and adjust the tax rate to meet that budget. If assessed values go up 8% but the budget only goes up 4% the board of supervisors will lower the tax rate so the increase in property taxes only meets the 4% needed. This is politically easier than doing the reverse, but they have at times increased the tax rate when assessed property values have not risen enough to bring in the funds needed for the desired budget.
When exactness, liability and oversight matters, it's just not ready yet, period. Even when its ready for that, it will take years for legislation to make it possible to use in key areas such as finance or medicine or law.

I've noticed this to some extent with their CPUs as well.

From what I can tell this is, in part, because AMD run their chips much closer to their physical limits than say, Intel or Nvidia do. They're all redlining so to speak.

As such this means that any differences in the silicon are much more likely to have an impact on performance.
There are diminishing returns from compute time but it looks like even though they are diminishing there's still a fair bit on the table.

Though my guess is that GPT-5 will be the last model which gains significantly from just adding more compute to the current transformer architecture.

Who the hell knows what comes next though?
It should not be a major surprise that the gap between the haves and the have-nots will widen if you have a large compareable influx of have-nots, or to speak more precisely, an influx of new citizens with low social-economic status compared to those who already were ctiziens. In a very dispassionate perspective, it is just plain math.

It is going to take time to return back to the same levels as before.

So you believe Fidelity and Coinbase have been lying in their corporate disclosures for the past 10 years, along with thousands of other companies all over the world, just so they could throw hundreds of billions of dollars of their own money into a black hole, to prop up a trillion-dollar asset class for 10 years running... why?

Yeah, if you've ever heard jokes about "the first pancake"[0] or burnt your pancakes when you get distracted by the rest of breakfast, do yourself a favor and set your griddle to 325F/160C.

Your pancakes can sit at 325F for a long time before they burn, and that alleviates the fear of burning that leads you to flip that first pancake too fast.

In my experience it's hard to get redundancy, teams are run lean enough (esp today w/ layoffs) that there isn't really much slack, deliverables and work doesn't really go away, it just piles up until you get back. It's usually almost a job in itself handing things off so things don't drop to the floor.

Agree. It's unbelievable from a European perspective.

Here in the UK, I get 28 days PTO per year. I can carry forward up to 5 days into the next year. But once you've done that once, you're pretty much committed to taking at least 28 days off the next year, because it's not really acceptable (from a company perspective) to lose PTO. We're strongly encouraged to spread the time off over the year, and to use up our allowance. Anybody here that only took 10 days per year would be having a chat with HR about healthy work/life balance.

I genuinely struggle to understand how it's possible to have anything like an enjoyable existence with only 10 days off per year. I mean, that's all your PTO gone for only a single 2 week vacation. Not even a single spare day for a duvet day.

I'd take a local firm offering to protect me for money over one that manages the large part of a continent.

Why not both?

I agree government is useful and needed sometimes. But laws are slow, blunt instruments. Governments can’t micromanage every decision companies make. And if they tried, they would hobble the companies involved.

The government moves slowly. When AGI is invented (and I’m increasingly convinced it’ll happen in the next decade or two), what comes next will not be decided by a creaky federal government full of old people who don’t understand the technology. The immediate implications will be decided by Sam Altman and his team. I hope on behalf of us all that they’re up to the challenge.
What's up with all of these crazy technical developments after a period of relative stagnation?

The problem is that I don’t believe we have any organization in government currently staffed and active that I trust to take any action that will benefit the public at large.

The problem space is too confusing, and the people making decisions are too incompetent. It’s a huge skills and knowledge gap.

And that’s without factoring in corruption and bad intentions.

The only problem with that is if your electricity generation capability is correlated with the outside temperature. You don't want everyone turning on their resistive heat right when you have the minimum generation capacity.
When I was a young person, I used to deride writings like 1984 on the grounds that the scenarios and stories presented to carry the message were too far-fetched.

Reading your comment has set off an epiphany, I think I get it now, there probably exists some higher-up person who is thinking along these lines: we must always be in a state of war, for if we are, the populace will want to be ready and willing to fund the instruments of war. And we always want to be ready for war, because if ever we are not, we lose our capability to win a potential future war. For our very survival we must contribute our efforts to build these instruments of war. War is constant. War is peace.
> But we have iron artefacts from Natal dating from the 400s.

I'm open to learning more, but that doesn't seem like very strong evidence. Iron artifacts reached e.g. Mongolia long before anyone there was capable of making iron. Iron is very durable and very useful; it is one of two materials that is, as far as I know, universally traded for in every known culture that might conceivably have had access to a trade network featuring the object(s), the other being salt.
Spacetime is a colloquial term for a derivative calculation or projection which only applies within the model. It has also not proven very germane as a unit, or it would be used more like a unit, rather than as description of a picture. The term seems to relate to the rendering of space in the model via geometry, where the model is based on singularities, which are the antithesis of space, and so is the model. We experience space, but we only find singularities from within a model.

That we pretend the relative speed of light is constant, and this proves black holes and big bangs, that is pseudo science taking a model beyond it's working boundaries, where it's calculation have no meaning; to wit, this is a physical analogue in optical aberration, where the rim of the lens is asymptotic refraction to the point of unreliable measurement (not a singularity, unless of course you model it as such, in the abstract).

The real question is why so much energy is used staring at model aberration. The "Uncertainty paradox" has everyone believe the model is real, and even ask the question "at what point does the model become real". The model is never real, and never becomes real, it stays a model forever. Whether the cat is dead or not is simply a measurement where, if you mistake the paradox for theory, you don't realize the probability of dead or alive given decay is nothing more than a measurement taken ex post facto, and not proof that the real world accord to the model.
Wow, as someone who loves to travel and has the good fortune to do it often, the idea of not being able to or not wanting to leave one's home country is unfathomable.
This is my experience exactly. A few years ago, I joined a startup at 50 people that was very much an engineering culture. By the time we hit ~120 people it shifted into a sales culture due to pressure from our investors.

Sales people had complete free reign to promise everything under the sun to potential customers. It caused a lot of havoc in our product development and burned out most of the engineers pretty quickly.
I think it’s more that companies want to restrict how much time you’re taking away from them.

I don't find a good solution to have to pay a license to have the right walk the path I walk everyday to go from A to B, that my grandparents walked (just as their own grandparents did etc...), a path that has been traced by the sole circulation of humans in a forest, that local people "created" and that is now part of a GR.
Maybe that's only a psychological effect in my person, because something in me is okay with the fact of paying a global tax that would fund every activity related to the maintenance of the trails and the protection of wilderness.
The government has had some wins, and it would be naive to say they haven’t.

They have also had many catastrophic failures.

It’s unclear whether in the end regulations trend towards net benefit, but it does seem likely that the more nebulous a problem, the harder it is for government to get it right. Or anyone, for that matter. But especially government because the feedback loop is so slow and bad.
I'm in the UK, never had a pizza roll, still not entirely clear on what one is, but when i was a teenager i did eat a lot of McCain pizza-rollas, which were a sort of soft bread roll filled with pizza topping which you warmed up in the microwave. They were pretty good, probably packed with E-numbers, and a welcome addition at a time before my dad had learned how to cook.

Seen here as part of the broader family of snack-rollas, which had other fillings that weren't as good:

That's a difficult question. I'm just pointing out that Sam's "contributions" are unhelpful to solving that question.

You're limited by two prisoners and separate, sometimes antagonistic, countries. For example, we have little agreement on nuclear weapons, at best we've gotten concessions on testing, a few types of missiles, and so on. Same with current climate legislation. So getting global agreement is hard outside of the bare minimum. Most of the inner county approaches seem to be either panic, political distraction, or like Sam, regulatory capture, as they are ignoring that it means nothing if another country pursues it.

So I'd focus on what simple agreements we could get worldwide.

An update sequence number (USN) is a 64-bit number in Active Directory that increases as changes occur. Local counters on every domain controller assign USNs.

Whenever an object is changed, its USN is incremented. When replication occurs, only the version of the object with the greatest USN is retained.

Local counters for USNs are considered reliable because they never decrease or "run backward." USNs are also always unique, making it easier for domain controllers to never use the same USNS at the same time.
Yeah, I got that. Just wanted to expand on the weirdness of what "spicy ketchup" seems to mean in practice.

Fair warning: "Kotlin Extra Hot", although a bit spicy, still doesn't hold a candle to what Indian cuisine can offer (or Japanese — e.g. wasabi).
In italy something very similar (sofficini) is quite common, but associated to kids food.

They also sell them with various additional fillings, such as cheese and ham, mushrooms, mozzarella and tomato (becoming something like Pizza rolls, I guess)… i always wondered why there’s really only one type of kaassouffle, really.
Good for you. I have met a few fairly successful ex-CSuites that wound up on the streets and then developed drug addictions before becoming sober, while attending some community events at the Castro Country Club (a sober space fyi). Anyone in the US can lose everything with the right combination of unfortunate events. People still declare medical bankruptcy.
I for one have nothing against Sam as a person (not knowing him well enough), but I question the sentiment that he and the company deserve respect for what they’re doing—much less by default, for some self-evident reason that doesn’t even require explanation.

Do people mean it in a sarcastic sense—and if not, why does OpenAI deserve respect again?

— Because it is non-trivial (in the same way, say, even Lenin deserves respect by default—even if the outcome has been disastrous, the person sure had some determination and done humongous work)?

— Because this particular tech is somehow inherently a good thing? (Why?)

— Because they rolled it out in a very ethical way with utmost consideration for the original authors (at least those still living), respecting their authorship rights and giving them the ability to opt in or at least opt out?

— Because they are the ones who happen to have 10 billions of Microsoft money to play with?

— Because they don’t try to monetize a brave new world in which humans are verified based on inalienable personal traits like iris scans, which they themselves are bringing about[0]?

This is me stating why they shouldn’t have respect by default and counting to get a constructive counter-argument in return.

You’re forgetting this one: you can specify a flag that makes the call display a dialog box if a requested file does not exist. Yes, this call to open a file can run an event loop that lets the user create directories, rename files, possibly even format floppy disks, etc.

If you want a prime example of a layer violation, this is it.

Its replacement “CreateFile” (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/fileapi/...) is a lot saner, but still has this:

“If you rename or delete a file and then restore it shortly afterward, the system searches the cache for file information to restore. Cached information includes its short/long name pair and creation time.”

That’s intended to make it easier for “Save” operations in document-based applications to keep the short name of the file, creation time and file flags around.

I’m currently a manager at an org with unlimited PTO. I take at least five weeks a year, and I enforce a minimum four weeks a year with my directs. No Slack, no email, it all gets turned off in Azure AD until they return. There are few hills I’ll die on, but this is one of them. Life is short and most work is inconsequential on a long life arc.

I don’t believe in the concept of unlimited PTO (usually disadvantages the worker), but I’m fine playing along when it’s their dime and they’re calling the tune.

Suppose a large, publicly listed real estate investment trust (REIT) owned a diversified portfolio of housing across the country and operated it all as rental housing. Tenants could buy shares in the REIT and thereby invest not only in their own house, but all the others as well. Less risk and more flexible than home ownership.

The downside for tenants is not being able to renovate. The upside is not being responsible for maintenance.
