I think Elon said something interesting about OpenAI in an interview he gave yesterday which I didn't perviously understand – as part of their deal with Microsoft Microsoft have right to all of OpenAI's model weights. This means at any time Microsoft has the right to take their models and cut off OpenAI's funding.

I would seem OpenAI now have very little autonomy as a company. Since any IP they currently have can be taken by Microsoft there's very little incentive for other companies to invest. And since OpenAI isn't profitable they are now 100% dependent on Microsoft to continue operating.

I think we may as well consider OpenAI a Microsoft acquisition since this appears to more accurately describe the relationship here.

Perhaps Sam Altman was just too stupid to understand this, but I suspect that isn't the case. It seems he probably knew OpenAI would effectively become a Microsoft research project as part of their deal, and therefore we should probably assume that they will operate with for-profit incentives – and with those of Microsoft's more specifically.

I guess what I'm saying is that this doesn't surprise me, and I'd expect more of this to come.
Interesting - never heard of it. I found another project(*) that runs Mobian on a Pi, so that should work. I intend to try out ParrotOS and/or Kali in the future. Perhaps some RTL-SDR tinkering too.

You seem more interested in legislating the terms of the conversation than actually having it.

If I understand correctly, you believe that England is a special flower and that regulations which would be considered the bare minimum in a great many other countries around the world (including such exotic and remote locales as Scotland) somehow cannot function here.

I’d be happy to point out any fallacies in your argument for that conclusion – if it weren’t for the fact that you’ve presented no argument for it whatsoever.

We also don't know how much more he might make of the existing books. That's the interesting thing about building a IP business it could take years and it will probably build on itself.
"Massive chip crisis" doesn't even begin to describe it. This would be a catastrophe worse than the great depression, on a globl scale. Every single electronic item would be rationed. Consumer appliance purchases would barely exist. You would be using the same phone/laptop/etc. for 10 years.
The unintended consequences of this are pretty large. I just wouldn’t hire anyone who fit that law because of how onerous it is.
Thank you. My dad was 43. Yes he was Indian and I believe you are right about enhanced risk.
Show HN: Venkat – An inline code snippet execution extension for VS Code
We always loved the snipped execution in TextMate that shows the results as a tooltip. Venkat Subramaniam used it in all his talks and demos.

Tried to find it as a VS Code extension, but there was nothing. So not knowing how to build one and being TypeScript noobs, we employed GPT-4 to build it late night in a few hours. We called it "Venkat" in his honor.

And it turned out pretty well, so we're happy for you to try it out and let us know what you think (or rip it apart).
Natural selection improved the species by adding this redundancy in the first place. Mutations are very frequent and some of the phenotypes are critical/desirable for the offspring to survive. This way, the gene families serve as a protection against mutations on the critical genes, so that mutations on other genes can be passed on more frequently (without dying). By adjusting the relative sizes between families, the plant/natural selection can modulate the frequency in which mutations affect each phenotype.

Mutations to redundant genes are still beneficial to natural selection. The overall population will have a varied mixture of genes. While we consider that the phenotype is equivalent between all of them, some will have improved efficiency, resistance to pathogens, etc. These unknown phenotypes will only be known when the subject is exposed to an environment where that phenotype is beneficial.

Redundancy also helps the evolution process by making it easier to have mutations happen in small increments. One offspring could have a functional A gene mutated to non-functional A' gene and still survive, and then their offspring could have another mutation A'' which is better than the original.

disclaimer: not from a bio-science background, but all of this applies in the field of genetic algorithms
I have actually used this to make for myself a physical copy of a couple of non-existing books. One was a manga I had translated into English (Super Aleste). The other is a book one of my friends wrote in Word. It is easy enough if you print in a standard paper size, like A5, and do glue-only binding. If you want to use booklets and sew them it gets quite more involved.
Really cool design, the Milkdrop tab is a nice touch! I found some of the stations to be perfect as background tunes while working.
The issue is inventory. Fewer people are selling, because they're locked in to sub-3% mortgages and a new mortgage might be 6.5-7%.

As an aside, a friend in real estate thinks the profession will lose a lot of agents this year due to lack of transactions.
It also doesn't know how to do complex text searches on those, but to each their own.
To complete cableshaft's great answer, there is Chris Crawford "on Game Design" that also has a lot of game ideas and particular game mechanics, a very interesting read.

Not American, and maybe it's a cultural difference but in England it's much more common to say "the 10th of May".

I think the biggest area for growth for LLM based tools for data analysis is around helping users _understand what edits they actually made_.

I'm a co-founder of a non-AI data code-gen tool for data analysis -- but we also have a basic version of an LLM integration. The problem we see with tooling like Pandas AI (in practice! with real users at enterprises!) is that users make an edit like "remove NaN values" and then get a new dataframe -- but they have no way of checking if the edited dataframe is actually what they want. Maybe the LLM removed NaN values. Maybe it just deleted some random rows!

The key here: how can users build an understanding of how their data changed, and confirm that the changes made by the LLM are the changes they wanted. In other words, recon!

We've been experimenting more with this recon step in the AI flow (you can see the final PR here: https://github.com/mito-ds/monorepo/pull/751). It takes a similar approach to the top comment (passing a subset of the data to the LLM), and then really focuses in the UI around "what changes were made." There's a lot of opportunity for growth here, I think!

Any/all feedback appreciated :)

EDIT: Also, shout out to JupyterAI (https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyter-ai) -- it's an official Jupyter project with some really awesome LLM support directly in JupyterLab. I saw it debuted at JupyterCon last week :)
If I understand correctly, they are used for differently but rely on the same principle; using a time to delimitate a task (in this case, to delimitate reflexion time).

I was actually thinking on using org pomodoro for implementing this.
Our house currently has 1 car, 0 kids, and a 1600 sq foot house, and has been that way for the past 5 years (we rented a condo for two years before that). This sounds like mostly a step up for me, especially the kids.

We haven't been able to justify having any kids yet still, and I'm nearly at the age where it starts becoming harder to have them (happens for guys in their mid 40s).

My parents had me and a house in their 20s. I just had shitty credit, student loans, and roommates.

Thanks for positing this - it's a wonderful place and I haven't been for a while. I live in Leicester and I've been here a number of times with the family - it's a great activity. One of my favourite things to do here is browse the old manuals in the back room and tinker with the BBC Micro or the Acorn whilst My children love playing all the old and classic games. Wonderful!
It would be interesting to know how much quiet time the brain needs to properly rest throughout the day.

However I feel like this question falls into the "optimise every second of the day" thought pattern which kinda goes against the point.
Their statement is plain ridiculous scare tactics. A trademark registration is not a monopoly on any and all use of that combination of letters.

If you are in Switzerland, you might have a right to use the domain because you registered it before the trademark was registered. Ask a trademark attorney about application of Art. 14 of the Swiss Trademark Code.

Plus, they may have no right to enforce anything at all if you do not use the domain for their registered goods/services. Again, ask a trademark attorney.
I also tried a bunch but am now keeping Matomo. I like it for its cookieless (and as such consent-less) mode.

what I miss from GUA/GA4 is a "top pages" report. Matomo seems to only support a url-path-based treeview like Pages report which makes it quite difficult to find the top performing pages if the site has many sections/categories
Zoetermeer, the Netherlands has the Nationaal Videogame Museum (https://www.nationaalvideogamemuseum.nl/). Hundreds of machines, consoles and arcades, free to play. You buy a two- or four-hour slot to get in.
Perhaps, but their policies and support for old hardware far exceeds anything you see in the Android world. But you point out THIS "shitty company" while not throwing your gaze towards all the other "shitty companies" like Samsung, or Google, or Sony, or Microsoft. Could it be that your disdain for the type of people that buy Apple products just rings through? The tried and true "them" vs "me" attitude.

Personally, I just let strangers like what they want to like. WTF do I care if they like this phone instead of this other phone.

1. Can you claim that GPT are your initials? (Is your name George Patrick Tanner? Gina Parker Taylor?)

2. If you are using it for AI, then you're not going to be able to show that "GPT" is a term of art predating their company. The first appearance of the term for AI is from a paper by OpenAI.

3. Check the dates. Did you register your domain name before they filed their patent/trademark? (They filed in on Feb 3, 2023.) If so, then you have an argument for prior art.

4. Don't make an offer to sell (even in jest) without talking to an attorney. They could interpret it as a bad-faith negotiation and take the domain.

5. Do you plan to use the web site for something unrelated to AI? Information about GUID Partition Tables? Goniopora Toxin? General-purpose technologies? Generalized probabilistic theory? Grounded practical theory? Anything like this doesn't compete with their trademark.

Could this language be used outside of notebooks?
This is probably a real hot take, but some services should indeed be public utilities and be run by a non-profit. That way we can avoid the constant debates about deplatforming and all that.
Current state of the art language models can run inference slowly on a single Xeon or M1 Max with a lot of RAM. Individuals can buy H100s that can infer too.

Maybe it needs a full cluster for training if it is self improving (or maybe that is done another way more similar to finetuning the last layers).

If that is still the case with something super-human in all domains then you'd have to shut down all minor residential solar installs, generators, etc.

If I get this right, both the NFC tag and the app assume that these two conditions are true:

1) internet connection is available

2) that the neucard site is up and working

so it is in some ways an IOT of sorts, right?

For the NFC those two conditions are of course needed, but for the app, is there a "local cache" of contacts in case either of the two conditions are not met?

Or are these contacts automatically added[1] to the phone contacts?

And how does the updating works?

I mean, does the app "phone home" periodically or only when you ask for a given contact (or both)?

I bought the Toyota with 40k about 7 years ago. It had been parked in a garage for 10 years. A client of mine was an attorney and no one in the estate wanted the car.

My son bought the Dart off FB marketplace, pulled it out of the weeds and put it back on the road. He drove it for a year before finally welding in floorpans (prep for 3k mi trip). 1960-1963 made a lot of cars that aren't popular now. No big rush to restore those.
Scraping stolen goods for parts doesn't happen because it can be done. It is viable because manufacturers make access to spare parts artificially difficult or expensive.

Locking a device to serial is adding insult to injury when companies like Apple decide to campaign against Right to Repair. It must be said that Apple made strides towards making repairing phones easier, but as long as counterfeit or stolen parts remain economically viable, this kind of market will exist.
That’s funny. Still, I think it’s more that the “obvious” optimal (fill up your day with productive tasks) is actually non-optimal, which is an important and useful fact to consider and share.
I really enjoyed you sharing this story, thank you. I entirely appreciate the situation you are describing, and whole-heartedly agree when you say language should be played with. It's a perspective common in post-colonial contexts and amongst third culture kids, as you note, but folk from more monolingual spaces tend to struggle to accept it (and instead they're often preoccupied with a fretful prescriptivism, as though the bastions of language shall collapse in on themselves if undefended, and we shall all revert to communicating by grunts and yelps).
Look the the 1960's to today, as more women entered the workplace, labors share of the fruits of their labor was halved as productivity doubled.

To go into more detail check out Elizabeth Warren's book: The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Parents are Going Broke

From the summary:

In this revolutionary exposé, Harvard Law School bankruptcy expert Elizabeth Warren and financial consultant Amelia Tyagi show that today's middle-class parents are increasingly trapped by financial meltdowns. Astonishingly, sending mothers to work has made families more vulnerable to financial disaster than ever before. Today's two-income family earns 75% more money than its single-income counterpart of a generation ago, but has 25% less discretionary income to cover living costs...

related question: given plummeting prices per GB for raw storage, I'd have expected the cost of hosting storage to drop per GB as well, and yet we haven't seen a commensurate drop, even given competitive pressure. What gives?

Yes, I know there's many other costs but I'm talking about * PER GB * and just for storage not access. A disk drive roughly takes the same amount of space/power/cooling regardless of capacity, so if you install 2x larger drives then cost ** PER GB ** should fall in half. And yet, we haven't seen that among cloud providers.

This should mean that inactive accounts quickly drive to near-zero cost, since they're nothing but storage capacity. Photo hosting should drive to zero. etc etc etc

Can anyone explain ??
I mean, it took a bit more than eight weeks, and a few doublings of hardware capacity, but these days we have obviously made tremendous progress in making machines "use language, form abstractions and concepts, [and] solve kinds of problems now reserved for humans". The self-improvement part is – perhaps luckily – trickier, although what else are generative adversarial networks if not that? AlphaGo rapidly self-improved itself to superhuman levels without any human help after a certain point!
More families have two incomes and relocating requires finding two jobs.

I find this to be an interesting comment because there is supposedly an effect where simply an image of an eye being present tends to cause people to behave better.

The most notorious problem with deleting accounts is the accounts that are used as third-party login. Google can lock me out of my account and I will also be locked out of the other services that don't belong to Google.

There needs to be legislation for this kind of thing.

Another problem: emails on my old account need to be transferred over. That's the only reason why I need the old account. But there is no simple way to do this. And two accounts cannot be merged either. I have been using a ninja technique that adds something like a Hotmail address as a sign in. Takes out the email data. And then deletes the email account. And then creates a new one. And then reuploads the emails. Annoying as hell. The Hotmail address is the only way my login method remains.

I think this is what drives some of the motivation for Agile-ish scheduling strategies.

1 week or 2 week sprint creates a deadline. Then you see if you planned too much or too little, and can adjust for the next sprint. And focuses you on just what you should be working on.

Even stand ups are little mini-deadlines. You kind of want to feel like you have something to report the following morning, based on what you said you were going to work on that day.

I find those things help me organize my thoughts and stay focused. And creates shared goals and expectations, and a little bit of social pressure (in a good way).

I understand others don't necessarily find them helpful.

Dijkstra was making a prophecy even though he looked (at times hypothetically) to the past. The first quote cuts through to the essential paradigm shift that led to enlightenment. The second is an apt description of what "programming" in the next decade may look like.

I'll add my own little ironic prophecy: if machines do become intelligent, they will most likely use formal symbolic systems to interact with each other.
