Microsoft is pretty famous among engineers for not paying unless you force their hand, but totally willing to negotiate if you do. Which is pretty much business 101, so I’m not sure why anyone is surprised.

Line up another offer and watch them throw huge bonuses to retain you (if you’re really worth what you think you are). I know from my and others experience they are happy to exceed even pretty crazy external offers if you bring them to the table, they just won’t increase your pay a dime if they don’t have to.

The EU didnt bring cookie banners. They corps that want to track you did that.

FUD

That was the largest fine, its hardly typical. In order to stop paying fines they just need to stop doing their evil shit in the EU - let them keep their evil domestic then its not an issue.

> It just seems like Europe doesn't have the culture or business incentives to succeed at tech so they try to extract a pound of flesh.

We have many of our own successful tech companies. They arent as large as your megacorps because they dont need to be. Note that we also fine our own companies when they abuse peoples privacy.

Apples and oranges to an extent but not that different to the west's treatment of Assange. The core difference being, Assange published information that highly embarassed the DOD and documented its war crimes causing a significant disturbance in the status quo for allies and the US whereas Gui apparently only published information that embarassed Xi Jinping's family. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Assange

Another example that comes to mind is that of Israel's kidnap of Vanunu. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordechai_Vanunu

Or even, in the same country, having a multi helicopter airborne assault team and 76 ground based personnel raid your house because you are accused by the US government of breaking copyright rules on the internet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Dotcom

Truly, it may be said that governments - whatever their continent or nominal ideological configuration - can be quite nasty to individuals and dismissive of due process. Further, they are effectively powerless to call one another to justice on such matters, and a certain amount of this sort of thing is perhaps tacitly accepted as normal covert and intelligence agency activity. Usually it becomes some sort of diplomatic or political straight-lipped talking point with apologies or statements issued many years past the fact, failing whatsoever to make amends. However, every time this occurs it fundamentally weakens territorial integrity and thus the legitimacy of governments globally, causing populations to cast them in the same light as predatory profit focused multinational corporations or - let's be honest - organized crime.
We used to enforce monopoly regulations, and similar types of anticompetitive behaviors that kill swaths of markets. And that's exactly what happened with what you described with Google maps.

This scheme is basically dumping, where you (a company) lower the price of your good and then flood the market to kill all competitors. Then when they're good and dead, you jack up the prices to extortionate levels and sit back and get piles of money, from people with no choice.

The last big antitrust push we had was against Microsoft. And after the judge was replaced for improper communication during trial, MS and DoJ settled. Basically, was a huge case then "Oops nevermind".

> Tesla pulled a fast one on the morons at GM and Ford

Consumers prefer NACS to CCS. And Electrify America failed, spectacularly, to deliver a working product. (As someone put it bluntly, NACS exists. CCS does not. You bet on the horse, not the unicorn.)

The auto industry is standardising around NACS because it will eventually force the standard into the open. That, in turn, enables antitrust questions about the Tesla/Supercharger tie-up. (In the meantime, everyone avoids the wastefulness of a meaningless standards battle.)
For some reason I expect everyone around this guy view his contributions differently than he does.
You should read carefully OpenAI terms and conditions before using it to build custom datasets.
So he "only" got a six figure salary, five figure bonus, stock grant, promotion, retirement fund, healthcare and FAANG-level benefits with unlimited company resources to do his work and a large failure cushion. Dude is going to get a massive reality check when he joins a startup and sees the reality of how the other 99% works.

And this ignores the fact that his engineering team had at least a dozen other people and Microsoft paid billions to OpenAI for any of his work to even be possible. What did he expect exactly, founder equity?
Yeah, I'm in US and I probably could also. I should look at that and I wonder if home internet is deductible for us with WFH.
Wanted to mention that 16 year olds could buy cigarettes until 2007, went to check the year, found that more interestingly:

You can smoke cigarettes at any age, but you are not allowed to buy them until you are 18.

If you are caught smoking by a uniformed police officer or park keeper in a public place when under 16, he or she can take away your tobacco and cigarette papers.

Very nice! Thanks for showing your layers
20k bonus is a joke of a bonus. probably like < 2-3% of the total comp?
I don’t see why that would be insulting at all. If you didn’t grow up in that world, you can’t understand it really - having it explained to you, studying it, or emulating the situation today can’t replace an era from the past. I’m not offended I can’t understand what it was like to ‘go steady’ with a girl like they did in the 50’s and that doesn’t make me stupid.
I don't really get the hostility in your response. Yes, one-time pads are not a practical solution for most use cases, but I never claimed they would be. I was just making a point about their "theoretically unbreakable" property, which I thought is interesting in this context.
Is there a coherent resource (not a scattered 'just google it' series of guides from all over the place) that encapsulates some of the concepts and workflows you're describing? What would be the best learning site/resource for arriving at understanding how to integrate and manipulate SD with precision like that? Thanks
Heck, even in 2002 you didnt need to use your phone for actual calling anymore. Back then you could already (for years at that point!) ask for the local showtimes via SMS codes or look them up on WAP/i-mode info pages. Or was that not a thing in the US?
and what upper/lower bound can you put to the share of value that you would assign to the ability to and effort of gathering "thousands of giants" and orienting them towards some useful direction, rather than being hands on?
Battle.net also used to be great for learning your way around computers. Designed and released my first "game" via Starcraft's Map Editor, first "server" was a Battle.net chat bot hosted in my closet... First peek into how complex software works was map hacking Diablo 2... etc etc.

I learned a ton from Battle.net.

The problem is that CCS is objectively bad and way worse than NACS. I suggest watching Sandy Munro's analysis on it.
At the moment, we're seeing large numbers of older Americans settling in Europe, to flee political conditions in the US. So no, it's not unique to China.
Sounds interesting, I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip!
You load a model and have 6 sliders instead of one… it’s not exactly “fine tuning”.

If you want the power, it’s there. But nearly bone stock SD in auto1111 is going to get to any of these examples easily.

A moderator is a volunteer position that people do because they want to run a community. It is not “unpaid” labor, and moderators acting like they’re doing anyone favors is ridiculous. If it’s too much work for you to do for free then step down and tons of people from the community will step up.
>From anecdotal memory, I think what happened was a shift from real problems to abstract concepts

Funnily enough, I am the exact opposite; I struggle with statistics and mechanics since they are very linked to the real world and I seem to thrive in understanding abstract ideas. The more abstract, the better :)

I like to think of abstract mathematics as a bunch of code in a library, the code on it's own is vast and has no real purpose when it is standalone, but it becomes immediately useful when a program with a purpose uses it in tangible ways. I would definitely love to make abstract mathematics make sense as a part of the project.

>To answer your question, I’d be interested in analytic geometry and similar concepts which would related to computer graphics.

Those are good suggestions that I didn't think about at first; function transformations and polar coordinates are definitely worth exploring, and a lot of computer graphics involves calculus and linear algebra that I do plan on covering already.

>Where would you post? Is there a feed we could subscribe to?

Still figuring details out, but probably on my .github.io domain(and if the project receives enough attention, I might move it onto it's own domain) and I'll likely use an email based system or an RSS feed after I tackle the "make good learning resources" problem.
MOVEit hack: Gang claims not to have BBC, BA and Boots data
How does it boot?

Or is RISC-V going to follow the same problems as the ARM SBC system where each board has an obscure and unique boot process meaning images need to be carefully pre-built with who knows what installed for each board.
I use OpenWrt on all my routers and switches. https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/mptcp

And I run Proxmox with OpenWrt as my router inside on a Odyssey Blue https://www.seeedstudio.com/Odyssey-Blue-J4125-128GB-p-4921..... I specially chose all these because they run on 12 volt so I don't need my inverter to power them.

I have two managed switches --one is for PoE to power all my security cameras and wireless APs in the van.

The reason I use OpenWrt and the managed switches is that it's super simple to set up VLANs. Devices such as the Starlink aren't super nice when it comes to being able to configure network settings (maybe that's changed IDK). So the ports on the switches do VLAN tagging and I'm able to segregate all the network traffic including the multiple WANs into one trunk line going into the router device (the one running Proxmox with OpenWrt).
> Also, depending on their level, “creating GitHub Copilot” might actually be part of their baseline role expectations.

I can confidently say no it is not a part of the baseline expectation of any role.
Performance on so few examples is impressive, paired with generalizability across broader tasks, and multiple embodiments + environments (and from just visual goals rather than complex verbal instructions) is quite a jump from where we saw Gato at last spring. If representative, seems a strong step toward meaningful autonomous skill acquisition/transference in realistic settings.
I am sure you're right, but "if you know what you're doing" does a lot of heavy lifting here.

We could just as easily say "hosting your own email can be set up in a few minutes if you know what you're doing". I could do that, but I couldn't get local SD to generate comparable images if my life depended on it.
In absolute terms it's not stable, in relative terms it can be. If you gave me the choice between storing my money in Bitcoin or Turkish Lira I would choose Bitcoin every time. If I have the option to use USD instead the answer is different.

> helps people without access to banking but with a stable, constant internet connection and perfect operational security

You don't need constant internet connection unless you are mining or want to verify a payment right now. And mobile internet and smartphones are surprisingly prevalent in the third world (and among homeless in the first world).
Can't evaluate on the details, but in general I love reading takes like this. Basically a variant of the "When all you have is a hammer" mindset and its inevitable consequences, as we see replicated over and over again in this industry. If only it were the top comment.

> But as it turns out, we can’t use it.

Although it has Python bindings, OpenSlide is implemented in C and reads files using standard OS file handlers, however our data sits on cloud storage that is accessible via HTTP.

This is a self-inflicted problem. Very typical of people who don't know how storage works / what functionality is available will often push themselves into an imaginary corner.

Why of all things use HTTP for this?

No, of course you don't need to download the whole file to read it.

"standard OS file handlers" -- this is a strong indicator that the person writing this doesn't understand how their OS works. What standard are we talking about? Even if "standard" here is used to mean "some common way" -- then which one? How the files are opened? And so on. The author didn't research the subject at all, and came up with an awful solution (vendor lock-in) as a result.
Orilly? We had no PM, EM, or designer: I played all those roles for 1.5 years.

I was one of the first to touch the OAI code model. Me and Albert developed the in-the-wild testing harness still in use today. We pulled all nighters to get GitHub approved for participation in the MSFT-OpenAI deal using those test results.

Existing Microsoft AI teams worked to halt our work, pushing their own small, worse models instead of OpenAI's.

I protoyped and lobbied for creation of the VScode extension. I invented and hacked the ghost text prototype into VScode, I invented the block based termination and implemented all the tree-sitter based logic needed to do it. Then I had to lobby up to Satya to get VScode to implement proper support in less than 6 months.

I named it Copilot.

I implemented GH auth, made the waitlist and onboarding. Helped design the e2e http/2 go server, after designing the fast.ly based precursor. Coordinated moving from OpenAI datacenter to Azure to improve Asia experience, and oversaw the cutover.

I was Chief Architect. It was my baby. Sad if this is how they are spinning the story internally at GitHub today.
I don't think it's a long way, maybe 10 years at most.
> I think we have to admit fines aren't successful at reforming megacorp

I kind of agree with this. It seems like they just see it as the cost of business, which is why they never actually change.

That said, the fines seem to be increasing almost exponentially, so I guess we will see what happens when they refuse to pay them.
Its a synonym for "optimizing" or "playing the game perfectly".

This really depends on what GPUs you use. If you GPUs has very small amount of memory, vLLM will help more.

vLLM addresses the memory bottleneck for saving KV caches and hence increases the throughput.
Good question.

Not necessarily, but I think the crux of your question w/r/t my statement is the distinction between "workaholic" type behavior and "working harder".

Would I suggest that a company shouldn't ALLOW it's FT/exempt employees to work over, say, 45hrs/week? Hell yes! Mandated work-life balance sounds great.

You can't attack another user like that on HN, no matter how wrong they are or you feel they are. It leads to a lot of ugly things and the site guidelines specifically ask you not to. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules, we'd appreciate it.

This seems to have circled back round to “It works as long as you trust everyone involved”.
Agreed! However, you're missing that the higher your aptitude, the higher the bar for tricking yourself.

So yes, a very intelligent person can come up with a sophisticated justification to trick themselves. A less intelligent person will come up with a less sophisticated narrative. Both people work on the con till it's enough to pass their bar, which is why I say it's a factor of desire rather than reason.
Yeah, there's some ironic self-identification going on, I believe.

I feel like you're really downplaying how impactful credit score is and how dystopian it is. They rebranded fraud against the lender as "identity theft" against you so that they could sell your fraudulent debt to private harassment firms. In turn since identity theft isn't real (fraud is) you need to get the lender to file a police report and unseal their private financial records (they won't do this). All this while you experience real damages like being rejected by mainstream lenders, swaths of employment and housing opportunities and pushed towards fringe and predatory lenders.

That being said, I also think you're not accurately describing social credit or relying entirely on hearsay. For the most part its focused around credit worthiness and financial fraud. I'm not a huge fan of either system, but as somebody who's worked with people harmed by the US private credit system, I can tell you that it's possible to "Nosedive" here and that's not just what I've heard.
