The bar is already so low, it's not going to get noticeably worse. If the standard already is minimal training, then having more places provide just as minimal training is not going to noticeably change anything.

Lower prices and a streamlined process would certainly mean more people are going to be getting CPAPs but that seems like a net positive if anything. Sleep apnea affects millions of people and is generally extremely tough to get treatment for. And that's not due to the "safety risks" (there are very few if any in day to day use) but rather an entrenched set of companies and providers that obviously benefit from this.
Do you consider Apple an "open" company because they allow you to purchase an iPhone from them rather than keeping it for themselves?

Then any software with a free tier is open. Because ChatGPT can't even be used worldwide.

Defining it as such, makes it meaningless. Open, in software, means much greater access.
I feel like there is a gap in understanding of how commercial software deployment goes.

When you have a platform like Steam Deck, it's the platform that gets tested by QA, and the platform that most of your devs are building for every day.
Its a world of diminishing returns still looking for that 100x payday. A product is no longer a product once the end user becomes part of that product. It makes me sad and long for the days when I was excited to see what amazing new software was being posted every day to HN, can't remember the last time I went wow.
Doesn’t matter. Trademarks are product/service specific.
Sure, a linux machine is made out of just a CPU and a GPU. Even if that would be the case, what about the software combinations that can exist and that the SteamDeck simplifies?

In the gamedev world I heard a lot of people not wanting to support linux because they never know which glibc version to support, which mesa version to support, which hardware GPUs to support, which graphical API to support, etc.

Cutting down that matrix (and I just mentioned the most egregious examples) to only one element is invaluable in ensuring your users have a bug free experience.
Pilots and people with guns kill people when they f-up. The .5 inch uneven sidewalk is unlikely to do so.

Exactly how many unnecessary $400 dollar repairs and mandates can people afford? The problem is there isn't just one rule like this there are many. Every department thinks their little $400 extra cost is no problem. Sure I can afford it - I'm just whining - but there are many other people that cannot. It is exactly this thinking that helps people end up homeless. But hey if the City spends over a million dollars to change the name of schools because they think Lincoln is a racist - no problem.

Making home owners responsible for city repairs is likely also a bad idea. Many of the repairs of side walks I see are falling apart after less than a year because they do it themselves or get it done extremely cheaply. The city regularly has to do this work - from what I can tell they do it correctly. Not only that it is enforced haphazardly. I can walk around my block and find portions of sidewalk in far worse condition with no city notice in sight.

Don't worry - in a few more years the population of Austin will creep up to a point where you will start getting hit with same type of thinking. Good Luck!
Lightning already exists; so it is nice that a simple protocol can integrate with it. I view them as complementary - it is good that Nostr does not need crypto, but it is still cool that they can harmonize

Good find. As the other commenter noted, however, trademarks are limited to the narrow field to which they apply. So I'm assuming OpenAI will be successful in getting a trademark for GPT in the field of generative AI, but it will be limited to that scope.
Email newsletters don't slam into my inbox. They sidle in, close the door quietly and get comfy in my newsletters folder. But these are ones I've chosen to sign up for - program language related and a couple from individuals who I think are interesting.

Like you, what I don't understand is the email sign-up form popup companies push in front of you on every visit. Nobody wants your "newsletter". Nobody wants to be signed up to your newsletter when they sign up to your service or buy something from your store.
That might be possible in some medium-sized companies. In megacorps probably about 5-10% of your time goes into various flavours of performance management. To hide for any significant amount of time, you'd need to have your manager actively cover you.

To bypass their commission you'd have to make a web app and not a native iOS app, which is something developers have been able to do since the beginning of the iPhone.

for anyone unaware, this is a book by Stanford professor Robert Sapolsky:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Zebras_Don%27t_Get_Ulcers

The book is about stress and the impact of glucocorticoids on the body. The chemical stress response used in "the wild" by animals is actually the same as the stress response we have when worrying about losing our job, not being able to complete a paper for school, dealing with poverty, etc. It's a partial explanation for why modern humans have so many chronic diseases that are rarely seen in other animals (or even archeological/anthropological evidence of non-industrial societies but he doesn't really go there much in the book)

I also highly recommend Sapolsky's Human Behavior Biology course which he taught for Stanford but published on YouTube:

Can Linux not trivially do the same thing as windows with LD_PRELOAD? If so why is this more of an issue on Linux than Windows? Is it really less a technical challenge and more just a matter of Linux getting less support from upstream developers?

sometimes it helps to have some kind of link or something to back up your opinion.

with an example it's hard to tell.

Overton window has shifted and there are some extremely intolerant subcultures that have popped up (in the world). Otoh, HN is probably one of the more tolerant forums to different views, most, like reddit, don't seem to even allow anything controversial.

Most downmods (that I get) are most likely just due to posting something dumb though.
The trickiness is that it was a part of a set of easy questions. You have 3 same numbers x x x, then change two of them, and ask what's the third y y ? It seems obvious it's y again.

Of course if you have some experience with math (apparently more experience than kids in school have), it's immediately apparent it's a multiplication and the product doesn't scale linearly… But I can imagine myself still answering this incorrectly just because I have no incentive to be careful and I'm in a state of mind to just answer the question quickly. Though while reading the article I solved it, in memory.

> The latter suggestion assumes that there’s enough entropy in the allocation process to make this work. But that’s not guaranteed!

Oh absolutely, there's no guarantee it's ever aligned: the allocator could wrap an aligned allocator but include a pointer sized prefix (a la array allocations) so you would be _guaranteed_ to never be more than pointer size aligned :D

As you say versioning and namespacing is super problematic, but I'm not sure they'd even work here.

At it's core the problem is that some code is compiling with the knowledge it has aligned allocations, so can assume alignment, and the some parts are not. There are a bunch of options that ensure that the allocator is consistent, but they devolve to either ignoring the new+delete overrides, or having the aligned allocators detect the override and forward to unaligned allocators while hoping nothing depended on correct alignment.
> It's just GPL Linux.

"Just" GPL Linux encompasses myriad library versions, kernel versions, driver versions and varied hardware.

> I feel like there is a gap of understanding how a HAL works here.

Just because you have a HAL doesn't mean that you don't get different behavior and crashes with different numbers of CPUs/concurrency or other hardware beneath. Modern GPUs are also pretty complicated beasts, and assuming that's fully abstracted is a mistake.

And this all leaves aside the myriad of other problems you can have with the ensemble of software running on the machine that interacts with the game (directly or indirectly).

Being able to test and make one restricted platform work well is a far different beast than covering the huge mass of variation users create on their own machines.
> Geoffrey Hinton wrote it. I wonder if he'll have anything to say about OpenAI trademarking the term 11 years after he wrote this.

But they're not applying to trademark "generative pretraining". They're only applying to trademark GPT, which seems (I have very limited knowledge if there are other competing uses of the term) reasonable given that most people associate "GPT" with specific AI implementations created by OpenAI.

There were other "business machine" companies that existed 100 years ago, but that is very different from trademarking "IBM".
You're right, it's technically more of a fort than a treehouse. The original concept was a treehouse and we kept calling it that even as the plans changed. It's near trees, though :)

> telemetry can't tell you the value of any work you haven't done yet

But it can allow you to extrapolate from the value of things already done and usage patterns around them?
It's not copyright, it's trademark. It doesn't affect the ability of others to build GPT-like models, but it would prohibit others from calling whatever they build 'somethingGPT' or 'GPT-5'.

And if someone manages to trademark "transformers" (which IMHO is totally unlikely to succeed for multiple reasons), well then we'd shrug and call them something else, that wouldn't prohibit anyone from making or using transformer models.

People doing genetic research has the same problem. When the gen was discovered in flies, the researcher gave the gen a funny name, related to the deformation that caused in the fly.

Some of these genes are also in humans, and the medic has to tell the family that the problem is caused by a gen with the funny name. I think they renamed the genes as the acronym that now doesn't mean anything, just a "random" letters.

I guess the same trick can be applied to hackers group with cute names.

Anyway, countries and terrorist/freedom fighter groups have been doing a version of this. Instead of a funny cute name, they claim to be serious and protecting the rights of the people.

>Though it was always incorrect to lambast AWS for “strip-mining” open source

Amazon absolutely strip-mined open source.

In 2001-2006 Amazon was all built on open source and had ditched HP and Digital Unix for Linux, RedHat, Apache, Xen, etc.

It was abusively hard to contribute back to open source projects, including the Linux kernel, and you had to get extensive signoff and review to ensure that you weren't giving away any IP with your lock order bugfix or whatever. There were also constant reminders and threats to not engage in open source discussion in any way that could leak company IP which created an atmosphere where it was much easier to just not participate at all. It was definitely very easy to pull open source into the company and very, very difficult to participate going the other direction.

I much prefer this approach (and can take responsibility because I feel perfectly empowered to make as many copies and backups of my recovery keys as I need to make it effectively impossible for me to ever be locked out), but this whole thing points to how giving people the security they claim they want is at odds with their convenience at every touchpoint. I have repeatedly refused a family member's request to set a front door access code that is any family member's birthdate, a very common habit because that's the kind of thing people want to use.

I continue to believe that security for nontechnical users is not a solved problem. WebAuthN or whatever may someday help solve this puzzle, but only if someone packages it in a way that is so frictionless that it's easier than just using your birthday and initials as your password for every account like my dad did. And if the recovery story for the "All my electronic devices fell into a lake" situation is something less exploitable than the pathetic SMS. I'm thinking notarized letter as someone else pointed out.

Yes, especially on Fedora.

This isn't something Fedora is doing wrong, unfortunately some games build against older libraries or are built against Debian/Ubuntu and the Flatpak runtimes generally have better compatibility.

Yeah I love companies that just put a real human on the phone who knows what they're talking about. All of the problems I'd want a support number for are impossible for an AI to solve, and putting a speaking AI in between me and a real human would just annoy the crap out of me.

I bet Comcast is working on it as we speak.
Just a personal anectode, but I definitly agree. I've very likely had an average screentime of 8h on the phone per day for the past the past 10 years of my life. With only few timeframes inbetween where it has been less. Only this year it has gotten somewhat better. And I don't think I am the only perspn like that.

> As a product owner, it's essential to know what and how people are using the product

You can ask the users. You can apply some common sense (which 1Password team increasingly doesn't). They can look at the support forums listing the many issues (especially with UX) which are condescendingly dismissed. Etc.
You don't have to disable IRQs if the spinlock is never taken by an interrupt handler. Disabling preemption would be enough in such a case, and that reduces latency issues related to disabling IRQs.
I think people in general have been conditioned to downvote or report dissenting views that they understand to be not only false but fall into the category of dangerous misinformation. It's especially noticeable on HN because generally these types of views are not of a technical nature and it's easy to dismiss as simply "not relevant to the discussion". (which is generally true)

HN doesn't claim to be an unfettered open forum of free discussion. In fact it's heavily moderated (not just for wild opinions) and you could argue that's what makes it so good.
As any coding AI should. GPT allows me to add some detailed context, with some chain of thought back and forth, to make sure the comments are "on topic". I can give more detailed instructions, especially about things like type hints, and when they should be avoided.
Transformer is the architecture. "Generative Pretrained" is just a term made up by the author to mean what everyone called for decades before and will call for decades after "Language Modelling". It was just a new way of saying "Language Modelling Transformer" that sounded cooler to the author and gave it cool initials. Coming up with cool names for models is hard.
> but it definitely not helpful to always say “I’m too old for this”

While I largely agree with this statement, I've noticed that – even though I'm in my thirties and I don't feel old at all – I still catch myself saying "I'm too old for XYZ" occasionally, half jokingly, but also half seriously. I mean, sometimes it's not about age per se (as in: the number) but about the fact that you've "been there, done that". How do you maintain your excitement for something that you've done a bazillion times?
Or even if it isn't, it'll become a generic trademark like Aspirin.
My point is that only a fraction of user data collection is done for the purpose of ad targeting. So whether or not ad targeting should be banned for ethical reasons, such a ban is not a replacement for regulations of user data collection like those proposed in the article we are discussing here.

Anti-glare coatings are not very robust, would not hold up well and they are even worse than glare when they get damaged.

> My brother is in HVAC, so my perspective on this is biased, but in general there's a blue collar shortage because the job still sucks.

It is not biased, it is common sense. The barrier to entry to being an electrician is sufficiently low in the sense that many people have the natural ability to learn and physically do the work.

That must mean the pay to quality of life ratio is insufficient to attract enough workers (including excessively low pay to quality of life ratio during training).
