> OpenAI will avoid competing with their customers — other than with ChatGPT

This is a nearly impossible promise. The most popular apps are broad platform shortcomings, and hard for the platform to guarantee they won’t encroach and solve a problem better solved natively.
I don't think they will because of how extreme the increase in pricing has been. They know what they're doing.
My opinion of him changed when he started fear mongering in an attempt to exaggerate the current abilities of machine learning and present OpenAI as more impactful than it actually is.
> Quite a few developers said they were nervous about building with the OpenAI APIs when OpenAI might end up releasing products that are competitive to them. Sam said that OpenAI would not release more products beyond ChatGPT.

I bet this isn't true and he wasn't supposed to say it.
Poor Sam doesn't seem to know he's an employee of Microsoft now.
As they note, most media compression is going to throw a monkeywrench into the whole thing.

But I was kinda hoping they would test gpu texture compression. AFAIK its a much simpler compression scheme.
Maybe you want another interview sometime.
You can say the same exact thing for the other side. :/

I genuinely hope Reddit ends setting up their own demise with this. It's a good infrastructure (at least old.reddit is), but the sheer amount of power hungry mods who abuse their power is out of control. There needs to be a system where mods can be reported and held accountable.

Or, alternatively, have everything be decentralized lie the fediverse, although until that becomes more user friendly I don't see it taking off.

A lot of people were suggesting the apollo developer write his own backend and setup an alternative to reddit, and I sure hope he considered doing so.

If you are actually interested in learning how they plan to achieve socialism by 2050, you can read the freely available "2050 China"[0].

It looks like the ultimate open plan office environment. My guess is that those are the workers who don't need "flow" to do their jobs.
I remember back in the day when the something awful forums went down for a while because of hurricane Katrina.

They had a message up for a while that said they were unavailable because their servers were either underwater, or on the back of a looter's truck that was itself underwater.
They must be very small because I don't know of anyone hiring senior devs in that range. Even those smaller, early stage companies I know are offering at least 150-190k base, and they struggle to hire.

However if you're dealing with dev roles that are being actively outsourced I suspect you're dealing with an entirely different class of software jobs.
What does "200%" resolution mean?

I prefer displays with a resolution where I don't have to do any scaling honestly.
When I watch people perform intricate physical movements (e.g. dance, gymnastics, yoga) I can actually feel in my "mind's eye" what it would be like to be in their place, including the sensations of movement and pressure against whatever they are making contact with. So to me it's obvious that my nervous system gets activated just by watching others, and I assumed (probably wrongly) that most people have the same experience.

I also thought this would be obvious to scientists since it's well known that babies mimic adult facial expressions, and therefore there must be some correlation to the parts of the nervous system being activated in both individuals.
every platform starts this way. no one wants to use a platform that will actively cannibalize its customer base
One of production quality examples of using Go for systems programming.
Nursing, I agree. But as a doc in the USA? It's THE highest status you can achieve on title alone, and comes with a paycheck in the top 1-5% guaranteed for almost 100% of entrants.

So on a raspberry 3A this works over USB-A… but how? Get a female-to-male adapter/cable somehow?
The "quotes" have been chosen to back the author's opinion obviously. Additional evidence is the liberal use of finger quotes around words like sabotage and emergency maneuvers to lower the weight of those statements. The best evidence is the whole headline:

"Supreme Court Rules Companies Can Sue Striking Workers for 'Sabotage' and 'Destruction,' Misses Entire Point of Striking"

Edit: This one stands out. Is it a paraphrase or a quote? If it's a quote maybe they hit their tick limit and couldn't afford any more marks?

Union leaders agree that strikes are supposed to be disruptive. But the precedent this case sets is that when a union goes on strike, it has to ensure that it won’t lose the company any money, said Seth Goldstein, a lawyer at Julien, Mirer, Singla & Goldstein, who has supported organizers in union disputes at Trader Joe’s and Amazon.
This illustrates the irony: a company, whose product collects information from the internet, requests that an article "removed" from the internet.

(And honestly this is probably a mistake as it actually draws more attention to the original article).
If you think all or even most comments on Internet forums have the same kind of due dilligence behind them as books and essays, you're in for a treat!
I mean, they published their own metal stable diffusion implementation on GitHub very quickly last year. I dont think this was in doubt
Yeah it sucks... Your grades are just a snapshot of knowledge at some point in time but not a reflection of your self-worth or future. It is important to remember that.

Only you can really answer this and it is a big step on the path to life long learning. Look at the parts you control vs external locus. Then move on, don't dwell, the only way is forward.

The ADHD thing will depend on who told you.. was it a professional? If so I would try to see why they diagnosed you that way and again self-reflect, what do you have control over and would medication or adaptive strategies help. If it was just a concerned comment from someone you trust, then maybe get evaluated. Again just reflect on it and come to your own answer. Maybe it is nothing.

There's a lot going on in a CS degree program across a wide range of intellectual subjects. What might be helpful is to think about what the CS programme is really trying to teach and that is how to learn and operate at these various levels of abstraction and how to come up with new levels of abstraction (or at least introduces you to thinking in that way, basically what people now term computational thinking. We use these abstractions to study computation itself and the world etc...

So to translate, in the "real world" you will be writing software at various levels of abstraction to solve some problem domain. That is why the degree is useful. The specific implementation details depend on the job itself.

But you can have a successful career just operating at one level of abstraction and know it well. Cobol programmers are still in demand for example. :)
No need to travel all the way to mushrooms. Marijuana is known for increasing ability to concentrate, and it does to a great degree.

It's just that like regular mushroom use, the long term cognitive effects are absolutely counterproductive. Especially for anyone who is neurodivergent and should instead be looking to approach the habits and the state of mind of those who are not and have successful outcomes.
This might sound crude, but a man who becomes a physician (and especially a surgeon) gets his pick of the most attractive mates as well as a high social status for life. That's pretty strong motivation for many.
Why don’t the libreoffice devs package a flatpak as a first party thing?
A few quotes from the Supreme Court documents (https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/21-1449_d9eh.pdf):

> The National Labor Relations Board [NLRB] has long taken the position—which the parties accept—that the NLRA [National Labor Relations Act] does not shield strikers who fail to take “reasonable precautions” to protect their employer’s property from foreseeable, aggravated, and imminent danger due to the sudden cessation of work.

> the Union argues that “workers do not forfeit the Act’s protections simply by commencing a work stoppage at a time when the loss of perishable products is foreseeable.” If the mere risk of spoilage is enough to render a strike illegal, the Union insists, then workers who deal with perishable goods will have no meaningful right to strike.

> But given the lifespan of wet concrete, Glacier could not batch it until a truck was ready to take it. So by reporting for duty and pretending as if they would deliver the concrete, the drivers prompted the creation of the perishable product. Then, they waited to walk off the job until the concrete was mixed and poured in the trucks. In so doing, they not only destroyed the concrete but also put Glacier’s trucks in harm’s way. This case therefore involves much more than “a work stoppage at a time when the loss of perishable products is foreseeable.”

> the NLRA does not impose a legal requirement that workers give specific notice of a strike’s timing [but] the Union’s choice to call a strike after its drivers had loaded a large amount of wet concrete into Glacier’s delivery trucks strongly suggests that it failed to take reasonable precautions to avoid foreseeable, aggravated, and imminent harm to Glacier’s property

So I think the Supreme Court is quite reasonable in saying that the Union could be liable for the destroyed concrete in this case.

(I don't have an opinion on the jurisdictional question of whether this should be decided by the NLRB vs. a state court.)
144kbps(IDSL, actually ISDN), 384kbps, 768kbps, and 1.5mbps were incredibly common speeds during the early days and especially not in major cities. I was on dialup in BFE, switch to 64k ISDN in 97/98, and cable came alone at a whopping 3mbps in 99, complete game changer.

Higher speeds of DSL came along with ADSL2 in 2002/2003. There were higher than 1.5mbps before that, but you basically had to be across the street from the CO to get that.
Seriously, this should be standard practice. Fail2evil...
Oooh maybe they tried to avoid this situation but GPT4 saw an opportunity. ;)
> …if you know the production database is going to run out of disk space in 4 days, that's not your problem. […] I can't see any legitimate reason why it's necessary to leave your job mid-shift in a labor dispute if that will result in damage.

So, your rule is that it's okay for blue collar workers to strike as long as they don't leave during their shift, and for white-collar workers to shift if it doesn't impact the business the same day?

> There's no reason for property damage to be part of labor negotiations.

Striking hurts the company by definition. Whether the result is that concrete dries out, or fish go bad, or production servers are killed, or television production is halted doesn't matter.
What about Azure Cortana?
Any lawyers know if this opens them up for legal action if they kill a business in this manner after a public statement like this? It must, if this is the reason they requested the removal, otherwise why would they tip their hand about what they intend to do in the future? And not to mention it makes developers even more concerned. They could have just let the lie alone, instead of drawing attention to it.
nifty project, thanks.
There is a model that runs bare metal Go on it, no need for a full blown Linux.

In fact, a good systems programming example, regardless of what many think of using Go for such purposes.
I still don't see the fuss. People were using one free tool to access another free tool, and are now mad that they have to use a different free tool to access the original free tool that offers its own free tool? And the tool is largely a platform for disinformation and bigotry, and cats?

And we know the complainers will just keep using it because they are addicted. 0% of them will leave the platform despite their complaining.
We need new SV seasons - dont even need to hire writers, it's just writing itself.
If this was default on port 22 of every cheap router sold, and if you enable ssh it has to go on some other port, it'd frustrate a lot of bad guys.
Oh, and also, lossless does not necessarily mean readable. Hence they note zlib compressed PNGs are untenable.
> Additionally, we demonstrate that ByteFormer has applications in privacy-preserving inference. ByteFormer is capable of performing inference on particular obfuscated input representations with no loss of accuracy. We also demonstrate ByteFormer's ability to perform inference with a hypothetical privacy-preserving camera which avoids forming full images by consistently masking $90\%$ of pixel channels, while still achieving $71.35\%$ accuracy on ImageNet.

I'm not certain they know what "privacy-preserving" means. All the claims they've made around privacy look, to the lay-person (me), to be meaningless:

• Permuting the input values doesn't change anything, because. If anything, this suggests that transformers might be able to approximate the original image, given an unknownly-permuted image – but so can humans, so that's nothing new. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cipher_modes_of_operatio...

• Their "partially-masked image" just looks like a noisy image, not a redacted one. Basic information theory suggests it's not really privacy-preserving at all.

Is it normal for AI papers to be so hypey? Like, this part is literally security-by-obscurity.

> As our method can handle highly nonlinear JPEG encodings, we expect it to perform well on a variety of alternative encodings that an outside observer might not be able to easily guess.

I don't see how any of section 4.2 contributes to the paper, other than letting them make a bold claim about a buzzword in a disproportionate amount of the abstract and conclusion.
The terminator won't, it's fictional. If AI killed everyone, it probably wouldn't happen like a hollywood movie.
Climate change is subject to way more unhinged hysteria, as well!
Won't doom the species, though.
curious what does linux offer that you can't get through WSL2 on windows and have the best of both worlds (gaming on windows + development through WSL2), I have had no issues with accessing cuda through wsl2.
Same here. I ended up getting a Zephyrus G14 in January, with all-AMD CPU and GPU.

If framework announced this laptop before I bought mine, I would probably have waited and stuck with my old junk until it became available.
I wish he would make a blog post about his plans then.

Biggest question for me is, when is the next version after gpt-4-0314 coming out?

Also it would be good for people to know the real situation with GPUs or AI accelerators that can handle their LLMs.

Such as, did they order them and are now literally waiting for them to be manufactured, or are they installing them in a datacenter? Any kind of peek into those operations might help people understand the challenges so they complain less.

Also this is tangential but is there a factory and design center in North America that can create and manufacture the necessary level of AI hardware? Or does OpenAI's ability to take on new customers down the line depend on Taiwan and holding off WWIII?

I guess a lot of things kind of depend on that. But I don't see any good plans on how to avoid it.
I've tried a couple of reddit alternatives, but all fall short. The one that was more or less ok was lobster.rs , but the founder/owner is kind of aggressive: It was funny how he got mad at some random tweet I made once, which actually I wrote "for" lobster.rs
How about we start writing actual content and stop fiddling with fonts and margins.

The amount of useful information being buried in “word” documents is mind boggling. Let’s start treating data as data and style as style. When you type your friggin notes on the meeting with the CFO we don’t need “Calibri” at 12px. This dumb shit is a nightmare to index and it’s all around stupid from just about every angle I can look at it. The amount of resources wasted on giving the illusion of a fancy typewriter is visible from space & multiple libraries of Congress.

It’s like designing websites in photoshop. Oh, wait..

I’ll let myself out.

This just seems like a ridiculous consumer-safety violation. How is it legal to sell these things?
It is really weird to me that OpenAI, of all companies, does not understand that the internet is forever: https://archive.is/rcbem
Indeed. Although I'm a little surprised that CPU access isn't one of the features denied through simple anti-fingerprinting measures.

Edit: After a brief search there (thankfully) doesn't appear to be such a straightforward way to measure CPU load. Which of course makes it that much harder to block.
I'm not a lawyer but deal with legal stuff - they are not open to legal action.
Oh but the camera sometimes is broken. Glitchy firmware or bad drivers for the OS can lead to all sorts of problems (I'm talking about people using Desktops of course)

Nix is great conceptually but after 20 years of boiling the ocean, I would call the experience difficult and erratic, not “splendid”.
Funny, I actually tried finding tricks exploiting the cache from Vercel, but it didn't work. Initially I thought I could find a way to use it to share data across users, but nothing worked. Do you have any links to resources that could help getting a datastore from the Vercel cache?

I will try adding things you mentioned, and I'd love to find way to also have stupidly complex/convoluted storage systems, inspired by tom7's harder drives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcJSW7Rprio
I worked for OpenTV a few years. It was a proprietary firmware for set top boxes.

Sorry, I'm disagreeing with you on the 2nd point.

We have the rights to sue someone / some entity based on the laws that govern contracts, negligence, etc. that give us the right to sue and have redress in court. We don't have the right to sue anyone or anything for whatever random reason we come up with.

Lawsuits are a genuine cost to the legal system (look at the backlog of cases and how often people have to settle to get any resolution) and a question is whether the laws we put in place adequately take into account the cost they create in people suing each other and the behaviors that incentivizes.

There are notable differences in the behavior of the people of a country that can be attributable to what expectation of lawsuit risk there is. The US is on the more "people frequently sued" side of that scale. Of course, there are many benefits to the right to sue that many people in less "sue-happy" countries do not enjoy. It provides a method of oversight at the person-level, transparency, etc. But it also can rise to the level of being a drag on society and industry.

On a more mundane dimension, this is related to what some conservatives offhandedly (and probably not really with knowledge of what they're talking about) refer to as "trial lawyers getting rich". When laws you create don't anticipate that they also create the right to sue, and the implications of enabling people to do that.

"A lot of developers are interested in getting access to ChatGPT plugins via the API but Sam said he didn’t think they’d be released any time soon. The usage of plugins, other than browsing, suggests that they don’t have PMF yet."

There might also be some concern related to the comments on the approach to plugins. Plugins not having a product market fit reflects slightly negatively, on the companies powering the plugin and OpenAI. It becomes harder to get companies to invest time in creating plugins. I am not sure if the there was an option to remove just the issue sections of the post.
I don't understand the "robotic" aspect of this. Were robots used only in the factory preparing the pizzas, or there were a robot in the van itself? From what I see in the videos the robots were only in the factory and the pizzas in the van were taken out from the oven by the human driver. If that's the case, what makes this startup "robotic"? Any factory have robots.

Am I missing something?
