They claim it will be the Apache one in their blog post, but I doubt it, the Apache CLA grants the ASF a license, not Element or the Matrix Foundation. From what they have said, it sounds like it will be a grant to Element. The ASF CLA says: "In return, the Foundation shall not use Your Contributions in a way that is contrary to the public benefit or inconsistent with its nonprofit status and bylaws in effect at the time of the Contribution."

Based on what has been said by Element, they have no intention of making this part of their CLA.

Fundamentally, such a strike assumes Apple cares about the free reports they get from their developers. I'm not sure that's true. And even if it is, it's not like they don't have enough other reports or features to work on, so the loss of all outside bug reporting probably wouldn't affect them at all.
Looking at it from a "retiring now-to-soon" perspective, FIRE is great! Keep buying everything I have to sell! There will definitely be someone around to buy them off you when you need to sell ;)
What prevents a random guy (or team) at some corporate from performing all those steps deliberately in the earnest belief it would "improve the world[1]", or at least increase the employer's profits and bag them bonuses and/or promotions?

They never made sense long term, of course. But, plenty of first movers made a bundle of money making chatgpt wrappers and marketing the hell out of them. In that context, they probably made sense for a small subset of people for a small slice of time.

I'm seeing old co-workers on linkedin that got caught up in this, they switched during the pandemic, some to positions and salaries I assume were inflated from knowing them previously. Once the layoffs hit they started looking for jobs with the same title/salary and there's was nothing.

I'm one of those who didn't switch, I thought I was making a mistake, now? New hires are coming in and being offered a little more than pre-pandemic pay. Below what I'm making now for the same position.
Damn, now I'm in the mood for making garlic slices so thin they instantly melt in the pan.

> I'm not even sure what kind of startup still makes sense as a gpt thin wrapper?

Startups don't make sense as thin wrappers around another company's product when that company is aggressively expanding that product is a core offering that the vendor is aggressively working to provide as an integrated solution for as many markets as possible, which very much applies to OpenAI offerings in general, and its chat models especially.

A wrapper that also leverages some exclusive special sauce data, algorithm, etc., for which you have a real moat as a key component, that makes some sense. But just a thin wrapper around GPT? That's just asking to have your market eaten by OpenAI.

It might make some sense for products where the vendor is a stable, steady-state infrastructure supplier for many markets without any evident interest in entering the same market as the startup, where the uncertainty across markets that they would create by specifically targeting your startups market would hurt them more with their established customers than they would gain from your niche, but even that is risky because it requires lots of potentially-erroneous assessments of how the vendor would expect their other customers to react to them acting in your market.
Thin wrappers around anything never make much sense. They're trivially replaceable.
Yeah, at least for the last six or seven years I've been much better about putting cash into savings (and relatively low-risk index funds/ETFs), so it's certainly less scary now than it could have been.

It's just a tough market right now, it can take months to find another job, and feeling like you're unable to hold down a job is a decidedly un-fun feeling.

Maybe all the cryptocurrency that I stupidly decided to buy in 2021 will be returned to me and the value will make a comeback and I'll be able to avoid the paranoia, but I'm not holding my breath.
There's thousands of niches where you have to really know the domain, which OpenAI will never bother doing. If startup is smart and has a moat, it's going to be OK.
thanks for the corrections which actually reinforce my point: it's impossible for consumers to know what cable they have.

Can you remind me how 120watts is achieved? is it 24v x 5 amps? I forget.

Most cables that ship with devices are not standard. There's no way to know it -- and that's the USB-IF's job!

USB-C is a terrible consumer experience.
That guy Quinn "The Eskimo" seems to have been almost singlehandedly manning the developer forums at Apple for over a decade. I hope Apple recognises how valuable he is.

Look up shipworm, which historically took out many ships. Plenty of stuff eats wood quickly enough to cause issues. We have just evolved countermeasures. And trees are the product of a billion years of anti-predator evolution. Plastic is different than wood. It is homogenous and dead. Something like a plastic-eating bacteria might move through it exponentially.
1. Limiting access for crutials secrets: to access an vault you need credentials, but if you encrypt it you need another and so on, so the absolutly lowest should be stored securly with the least possible access.
2. An secret you don't have is save. So removing an secret from ram if you don't need it. Useful for an pool of persistent database connections.
3. If you need it at multiple places or you don't know were its accessed, store it at an central location(for example a cluster) that stores the secrets at rest.

a hashicorp vault you change your secret there and every supporting application can retrieve it from there and use it. once they are done they delete it from the ram.
If you can/want use specific kernel apis i would propose keyctl( https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/keyctl.2.html ) this apis can store secrets limited to an specific range(threat, process, user, ...) outside of the process.
Probably a staged rollout once again leaving people outside of the US wait.
Imagine a feature branch where someone has been keeping it up to date by merging main into it regularly. Now the feature is ready to go into main. You can easily `git merge --squash` that branch into main. You can likely do the same thing manually (as you point out) by running `git rebase -i` if you squash all the commits in the branch. But you’ll never manage to do a genuine rebase, where every commit in the branch gets turned into a clean non-merge commit onto main.
The US has a clear interest in preventing reunification with the mainland, regardless of the island’s legal status.
Fuck that, release your models and let the "community" (of unpaid volunteers) freely use and own what they create
If the catastrophe is mega-corps getting to monopolize a valuable technology because people saw The Terminator and thought it was a documentary then any announcement from OpenAI is bad news.

A close look at the political system here in the U.S. exposes many significant ways in which policy is protected from voter intent: Electoral college, gerrymandered districting, a first-past-the-post system that is hostile to third parties (the main parties control the national debate process, for example). It is indeed possible for a policy to be widely popular with the voting public, but NOT on the ballot in any meaningful way. This is without even dipping into the fear-mongering toward more egalitarian policies in healthcare, taxation, workers rights, etc.
Anecdotally I was able to get this command to return 8 watts by using a usb-A -> usb-C cable meant for charging a mouse.
I’m very excited about all the new developments but must say that they really dropped the ball on marketing this one. The feature name is ambiguous and unsearchable.
I think this perspective is fair and historically accurate wrt platform risk, but I also strongly believe Zapier has substantial value beyond what historically has been acting as a conduit between APIs. Customers don't want a pipe between their services, they want to automate their mundane work with a robot.

I don't really see why there is a problem with degrading whole bottles. If you have separated from the waste stream, you can incinerate or even landfill them (it's not like you'd be wasting any resources). It's the microplastics that form when the bottles are dumped into the oceans or waterways and broken up by Nature which need a novel solution for removal.

Imagine a "GPT" that could generate websites and provide you with a live deployment as you change it using natural language. A website builder GPT that is primed to output and design in a decent way, that has all the prep beforehand to use particular libraries, and integrations with something like Render.

People would pay for that.

Sh--... I better build it!
My own personal experience is that, in linear algebra, there are a lot of different ways to prove the same thing. When you search for a proof of something, you may find a proof that is overly basic and verbose, or a proof that is overly advanced and terse.

Finding an explanation of a linear algebra concept that strikes the right balance can be time-consuming or difficult. This is why you see, for example, a hojillion different articles explaining what quaternions are. Everybody is most comfortable at a different place on the complexity spectrum—from “a vector is (x,y,z), here are rules for how that works” to “a vector space is an abelian group V, field F, and a map in Hom(F,End(V))”.
I might’ve been unclear, so to clarify:

The overhead of fetching from S3 via a naive Go implementation (goroutine per object) to disk and then running duckdb on that was lower than using duckdb end-to-end.

I was measuring the S3 overhead in both cases.

Someone creates a highly artificial hypothetical scenario and then uses someone's answers on this non-issue as "proof" they're a Nazi with a bunch of semantic wank.

This is as much bad-faith toxic twattery as I've ever seen.

This isn't about "social justice" or "inclusivity", it's about someone abusing these concepts for their own narcissistic emotional gratification to settle their own personal scores.

I agree it's rather sad and disappointing people seem at least somewhat approving of this utter toxic behaviour, which seems to be a result of the black/white "us vs. them" type of pattern matching. Everyone would be better served if this type of thing was more strongly denounced.

If many people are driving aggressively and cutting in, everyone is made late; but those who engage in the behavior arrive earlier than those who refrain.

A router that is dropping packets due to being congested is still forwarding some packets. If you wallop that router with your own packets, that's your best chance of getting more of your packets to be forwarded, at the expense of someone else's being dropped. (Assuming the router has no countermeasure against that behavior.)

If we take a simple leaky bucket model: the router drops the packet because it has no resources in that moment. A moment later, space opens up because of transmitted/cleared data, so when a packet is received in that later moment, is not dropped. There is likely a chain of leaky buckets: multiple points in the router traversal where packets can be dropped due to resource issues: dropping could be on the receive side or transmit. Wherever there is a queue whose length is capped or a memory allocation operation.

If you wallop that machine with your packets, you increase the chances that when those moments come when resources are available that allow a packet to be retained rather than leaked onto the floor, that opportunity goes to one of your packets rather than someone else's.

The whole cable is smaller than 5mm diameter. Less rubber jacket, and shield, it might just be 3mm inside. And there are ~18 lines in there? I expect the power lines are larger than the differential signalling lines, but I'm just realizing how much I'm trusting this vendor.

Looking like I was busy is the hardest job I have ever had.
Recommendation: If they're asking you to work remote, take even more time. IOW, rather than working 1 of 3 weeks remote, work 3 of 5. That's what I did this summer as part of a 3 person startup. It gave both my family and my company a good amount of time.
Yes, it does! But while I have not used them yet, the approach used by them (via SGML tags) is not new and many libraries / XLST have done it before in the past 20+ years and I find the approach usable at best. It's too verbose for my taste and it never really caught on, and I find it hard to think that it would catch on this time.
They can do the opposite direction too, detecting a USB2.0 cable when a higher speed one is needed. It still boggles my mind that no corresponding warning pops up.

Even without an e-marker, there has to be some way to know that the client device can support a higher speed and warn the user - it seems like USB device capabilities supports that?

Every day this video ages more and more poorly [1].

categories of startups that will be affected by these launches:

- vectorDB startups -> don't need embeddings anymore

- file processing startups -> don't need to process files anymore

- fine tuning startups -> can fine tune directly from the platform now, with GPT4 fine tuning coming

- cost reduction startups -> they literally lowered prices and increased rate limits

- structuring startups -> json mode and GPT4 turbo with better output matching

- vertical ai agent startups -> GPT marketplace

- anthropic/claude -> now GPT-turbo has 128k context window!

That being said, Sam Altman is an incredible founder for being able to have this close a watch on the market. Pretty much any "ai tooling" startup that was created in the past year was affected by this announcement.

For those asking: vectorDB, chunking, retrieval, and RAG are all implemented in a new stateful AI for you! No need to do it yourself anymore. [2]

I never understood why Ballmer took so much flack for that.

I personally doubt I could ever really tell a 1F difference.

Other factors (sunlight, wind, humidity) make that level of precision kind of useless for a "how does it feel" situation, which IMO just further degrades the value of 0-100F thing as conveying any particular significance.
My trust in US lawmakers practically no longer exists. Now whenever they make a questionable decision, the first thing I try to understand is who stands to make money off of it. If lawmakers have genuine policy opinions that's wonderful, but they have a big PR problem from decades of corruption to address.
