Server-driven UI is a thing that's been gaining traction in recent years.

To my knowledge, at least a few FAANG companies have adopted this for the reasons mentioned in the article (AirBnB, Lyft, Expedia)

https://github.com/csmets/Server-Driven-UI

There are a few frameworks that cater to this -- most of them are variations on an API that returns JSON describing view components and state/actions.

For instance, DivKit:

It's a decent idea IMO, though I have no personal experience with it. I guess time will tell whether it catches on at-large though.
It only needs one switch because it detects which button you're clicking by where you're pressing down on the surface.
On top of that, this clause is set to trigger upon granting network access to the program, not on modifying it. IANAL but my understanding is that AGPL still desperately wants to be an additive copyright license and not a contract/EULA so it only applies to copying and modifying source. In practice this seems more than a little unintuitive in its implications, But, OTOH, it does seem to help ensure that AGPL is less of a legal threat: if you are just casually deploying unmodified AGPL software, as far as I know, you don't really need to treat it differently from GPL. I'm definitely not going to argue it's a good license, but I think the strong distaste for it is a little unjustified, and seems like corporate lawyer FUD.
I have the Fagels translations and found the Bernard Knox introductions excellent as well. Especially the ruminations on the possible "deep history" of the story and events depicted in the books. Overall though, The Illiad is so relentless I find it hard to read to completion.

You still can't justify a claim that nobody panic-sold, given what you know. Let's try to stick to claims we have a basis to believe, instead of fighting noise with noise.

A more reasonable claim from your epistemic state could be something like, "There was no major crash from the news, as might be seen in a general panic."
Agree with this take. Sam made OpenAI hot, and they’re going to cool, for better or worse. Without revenue it’ll be worse. And surprising Microsoft given their investment size is going to lead to pressures they may not be able to negotiate against.

If this pivot is what they needed to do, the drama-version isn’t the smart way to do it.

Everyone’s going to be much more excited to see what Sam pulls next and less excited to wait the dev cycles that OpenAI wants to do next.
A completely unrelated construct?

I think "don't extinguish humanity or leave most of them unemployed" is a principle everyone can get and stay behind.
"...and a lot of it has to do with being asked to give tips before service rather than after"

This is kind of a deal for me too... Well, you did not cook the food or bring it to me (some places, you order first at the cashier (no actual waitress) and they then bring it to your table but you get no service (e.g. get up and get your own condiments, etc, this is a trend where I live)), but I am to leave a tip... Hrm, will this influence the cook?

I think it is more agitating when it is a service that really does not "need" a tip. I called in an order, I walked up to the counter (its a lunch counter, everyone calls it in), and the checkout display puts up a tip amount (usually large amounts like 15, 20 or 25 percent). Well, uh, you cooked it, I thought that was included in the price. After all the cashier just reaches behind them and grabs the bag with my name. Very strange proposition. Is the cashier working for peanuts and this is their wage, or is the store taking it, or perhaps the cook? Who knows...
Seems pretty straightforward, the dev day was a breaking point for the non-profit interests.

Question is, how did the board become so unbalanced where this kind of dispute couldn’t be handled better? The commercial interests were not well-represented in the number of votes.
> The Chinese are experts at copying and stealing Western tech.

Sure that's been their modus operandi in the past, but to hold an opinion that a billion humans on the other side of the Pacific are only capable of copying and no innovation of their own is a rather strange generalization for a thread on general intelligence.
I don't agree with the characterization of the script being written by someone else. The model is writing that script, they're just offloading execution of that script to Python.
What if the board gave Altman clear direction, Altman told them he accepted it, and then went off and did something else? This hypothesis doesn’t require the board’s direction to be objectively good.

Write a script to download them using the Hacker News API.[0]

First, get the user endpoint: https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/user/<username>.json
(ex: https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/user/jl.json?print=pre...)

then iterate the "submitted" array and make a request to each ID at the item endpoint:
https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/item/<ID>.json
(ex: https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/item/8863.json?print=p...)

Then save each JSON response somewhere. You won't be able to get the content of flagged and banned messages. If you do this more than once you'll also need to keep track of the last ID you downloaded, or the updates endpoint to catch edits, I think, although the readme is a bit vague about how exactly that works.

I first encountered VAX/VMS on a VAX 11/780 at Rose-Hulman in 1981, and was in awe of a machine that could do a million floating point operations per second!

Recently, I got one running in SimH in my android phone, and it runs OpenVMS 7.3. Telnetting into the VAX in my pocket was something I just had to do.

I too haven't been able to get a community license for the x86 port, yet.
It's often stated as one of the reasons SV exists at all.

So many stories, start with thr traitorous 8
Related to writing, I also high recommend Murakami's "What I Talk About When I Talk About Running." He wrote this as a memoir centred along running, and he often writes about how his habits of running carries over to other habits in his life, such as writing. I liked this excerpt from the memoir in particular:

"Right now I’m aiming at increasing the distance I run, so speed is less of an issue. As long as I can run a certain distance, that’s all I care about. Sometimes I run fast when I feel like it, but if I increase the pace I shorten the amount of time I run, the point being to let the exhilaration I feel at the end of each run carry over to the next day. This is the same sort of tack I find necessary when writing a novel. I stop every day right at the point where I feel I can write more. Do that, and the next day’s work goes surprisingly smoothly. I think Ernest Hemingway did something like that. To keep on going, you have to keep up the rhythm. This is the important thing for long-term projects. Once you set the pace, the rest will follow. The problem is getting the flywheel to spin at a set speed—and to get to that point takes as much concentration and effort as you can manage."
It was in 2014.

The turing test is a shit test for general intelligence, you can game it by making the AI generate a story that is more engaging than a typical boring human would do. Those stories will get much more human votes than a regular human. Some will go off track and notice it is a dumb program, but those are the minority so on average this dumb bot will pass the turing test.
All but one engine successfully relit (the outer engine ring has no re-light capability) but they started to fail quickly afterwards.

The payloads being encoded are extremely tiny. Typically not even enough to store a full UUID.

This is configurable, of course, but you sacrifice recoverability and/or quality of the original signal if you try to store more bits.
Isn’t that a bit like stealing from the for-profit investors? I’m not the first one to shed a tear for the super wealthy, but is that even legal? Can a company you invested in just say they don’t like profit any more?
I'm not so confident.

I'm from the UK, on paper we have an absolutely terrible constitution. Compare that to Afghanistan when the US pulled out. But then Afghanistan folded straight away, whereas Britain has managed to stay somewhat stable for a few centuries.

My conclusion is that democracy isn't so much about the written rules as it is culture. That means you need people at the top that actually respect that culture.

Training data is more restricted now, hardware is hard to get, fine tuning needs time.
Brightscript is the name of their application language. Sounds similar enough to Silverlight to me. I bet it’s just a mix-up.

Not at all. Extrapolation is perfectly possible in a purely predictive model. It’s one of the things GPTs are best at.

In the stream of tokens output by an LLM it’s completely possible for new concepts to emerge, and for it then to continue to use and build on them in the remainder of the stream. You see this simply executed in programming contexts with LLMs where it is able to declare a novel function and then use it.
of course, s/he means how to burn a piece of paper without setting the apartment on fire or set off an alarm. it's really funny that your first thought was that they doesn't know how to burn something technically and connect that to children who think a chicken has four legs or cacao milk is produced by brown cows. had me chuckle.
I think a big part of the problem is use of cool white LED lights, which produce more light on the blue part of the spectrum. That light scatters more in the atmosphere, like how the sky is blue during the day.

Around here, the LED lights do not seem brighter like the article claims.

Also, they are all full cutoff. In the past, almost all high pressure sodium streetlights meant to send light downwards had a glass globe below, which sent some light upwards. LED streetlights have flat panels instead, so none of the light fixture itself can directly send light into the sky. Only light reflected from illuminated objects and scattered by the air can light up the sky.
It’s about the same as saying “kids just want to drink Tide pods nowadays.” There’s definitely something wrong with kids who do it but you can’t deny that TikTok is where it gets coordinated.

If your kid is on TikTok all day and gets all their information there, you can’t really separate their belief from the contents they see.
From what I've heard from ex-FAANG, I'd wager that a significant portion of the Go is code-generated for things like RPC definitions or service skeletons.
Didn't he say the same thing about suing Microsoft? LOL, who's going to take the little manbaby serious...
Frigate seems like one of the most promising new NVR/VMS products out there, but still lacks the feature-completeness to replace Blue Iris. The biggest gap right now in my mind is Frigate's poor feature set for continuous recording, which seems like very basic functionality but ends up as a low priority for a lot of these "event-first" products that are more patterned off of consumer products.
Audio maybe but visuals require so much processing power and a heavy image database. I am impatiently waiting for a chatgpt4 rival for local.

> If we give every person a car to drive every day, today - that's enough to make it unsustainable.

Leaving aside that we aren't, sustainability necessarily implies perpetual increase. This hypothetical doesn't make sense. If the demand were there to supply everyone with a vehicle, we would, the materials are there. That would of course result in environmental encroachment, but not indefinitely. Plus vehicles on the road will all be EV in the coming decades.
All sorts - anything where you today give your data to some SaaS (and they encrypt it at rest, sure), and they then provide you some insight based on it or allow you to do something with it (by decrypting it, crunching numbers, spitting out the answer, and then encrypting the source data again) could potentially be done without the decryption (or the keys to make it possible).

Concretely (and simplistically) - I give you two numbers, 2 & 2, but they're encrypted so you don't know what they are, and you add them together for me, but that's also encrypted so you don't even know that the sum of the inputs I gave was 4. It's 'computation on encrypted data', basically.
I know everybody is going nuts about this, but just from my personal perspective I’ve worked at a variety of companies with “important” CEOs, and in every single one of those cases had the CEO left I would not have cared at all.

The CEO always gets way too much credit externally for what the company is doing, it does not mean the CEO is that important.

OpenAI might be different, I don’t have any personal experience, but I also am not going to assume that this is a complete outlier.
I've noticed that when I speak I really don't control each word.

I have an idea that I want to convey, but how each word comes to my mind as I form a sentence has always felt like it's controlled by an unconscious algorithm.

So I don't understand why people find this prediction mechanism so alien.

It isn't clear to me how much of communication is really in our control.

With the current tools, it feels like we still provide the ideas we want the AI to convey, and it may be using a nearly identical mechanism to us to form the words.

Consciousness would be the computer being able to come up with the ideas.

So, it seems to me we've gotten close enough on the communication side of intelligence.

But the machine is not conscious. When it is, it seems like it will generate its own ideas.

Are people debating whether the machine is conscious?

Otherwise, it feels very straightforward to grasp what we've made up to now.
Yeah, I'd still argue that a MAD system where highly paid (and presumably skilled) people need to take a year or two off between jobs is pretty inefficient. But if everyone knows that's the way things work, no one can say they were unaware of the rules.
That's a shallow take. How about: people learned about the situation between Palestine and Israel and root for human rights and ability to live in safety.
Uber is famous for NIH syndrome. You can tell by their open source projects they've basically built every part of their infra from scratch. So it's not just the application code but everything else that helps run it.
Totally, those actors who supported Danny Masterson come to mind
If the firing was because of a difference in "vision", then it doesn't really matter if Altman was key to making OpenAI so successful. Sutskever and co, don't want it to be successful (by market standards at least). If they get their way (past MSFT and others) then OpenAI will no longer be the cutting edge.

Good point! In this case of nighttime lighting infrastructure it has become so vastly overbuilt as if to save people “the trouble” of these simple targeted solutions.
Someone is going to be right, but we also know that experts have known to be wrong in the past, ofttimes to a catastrophic effect.
I don’t think LLMs work towards anything. It just picks from a list of likely “next tokens” at random.

Everything We Know About OpenAI's Shocking Ouster of Sam Altman
There are plenty of results supporting my assertion; but the tests must be carefully designed. Of course, LLMs are not databases that store exact answers - so it's not enough to ask it something that it hasn't seen, if it's seen something similar (as is likely the case with your programming language).

One benchmark that I track closely is ConceptARC, which aims to test generalization and abstraction capabilities.

Here is a very recent result that uses the benchmark: https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.09247. Humans correctly solved 91% of the problems, GPT-4 solved 33%, and GPT-4V did much worse than GPT-4.

Actually, I interned at the ACLU doing immigration work challenging Trump administration policies, and a lot of us voted against Trump and Republicans, so what is your point? You think that if an American didn't physically storm immigration detention centers and rebel against the Federal government they can't call out a country engaging in rage-induced revenge in the form of the slaughter of civilians?

"armchair virtue signalers" is a buzzword with no meaning, but whatever it takes to make you feel better about what you support while a part of you knows how morally fucked it is
I think your technocratic sense of open is misplaced. At this point OpenAI is clearly controlled by the US and it's ok. If anything one wonders if Altman's ouster has a geopolitical angle, cozying up to other countries and such.
It’s not just young teens generally: my wife is involved in left-wing Jewish organizations in the United States and young Jews are increasingly more skeptical of Israel’s importance to their Jewish identity. I wouldn’t say it’s quite a majority at this point but it’s a sizable enough chunk that they’re starting to become noticed by mainstream media outlets.
It is the nature of large systems to grow. As software engineers we build libraries to build libraries, we build tools on top of tools to check our tools.
I just tried to launch Calibre. It nuked my Mac and I had to force a manual reboot - which is only necessary maybe twice a year or so.
> This is powered by a modified version of the Postgres planner that runs as part of the pganalyze app. This modified planner can generate EXPLAIN-like data from just a query and schema information - and most importantly, that means we can take query statistics data from pg_stat_statements and generate a generic query plan from it. You can read more about that in our blog post "How we deconstructed the Postgres planner".

Having something like this available as a library inside of Postgres seems really beneficial for tool authors. I wonder what the odds of getting it upstreamed are?
I don't know why you're being a contrarian here. Booster completed it's primary mission. Main vehicle survived long enough to show viability. Multiple technologies were proven beyond a reasonable doubt to work.

interesting. will definitely take a look at caffeine's effect on serotonin. thank you.

most tea brands have a bad impact on my digestion and while I thought it must be the theine, which, as I learned, is just caffeine, I now believe it's connected to residue pesticides[1] since "homegrown teas" don't have the same highly undesirable impact.

[1] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36537161/

anything that screws with my digestion makes my gut, the literal and metaphorical one, itchy and I get nervous. similar things happen when I eat short-chained carbs in amounts over 100g in one meal but the negative effect disappears after an at least 13h fasting period or 16h+ if I drank liquor the night before. so I assume it has to do with enzymes released in the mouth and in later stages of digestion since I sometimes start to feel itchy even though I only started chewing oats for example.

I believe my sensitivity and ADHD are linked to the amount of enzymes produced by my body during digestion and or some genetic mutation in an enzyme associated with the respective metabolisms.

somewhat related:
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/file?type=printabl...

the lack of focus and the exhaustion after eating carbs are relatable, but again , only if the fasting period wasn't long enough.

I tried Keto, but it made me quite a bit slower, which wasn't bad in terms of performance, but my cognitive processing speed was so much slower that I could not get used to it.

yeah, the new comments look like more of the same to me. A lot of not-so-subtle self aggrandizement, vague claims, and of course a "big secret" that they cant share.

They could still be some kind of insider, but they never added any new information beyond what was publicly speculated, and clearly have an axe to grind.

There is something about reddit that just attracts and promotes a lot of juvenile attention seeking behavior. My default assumption is that content is fictional unless it passes a pretty high bar.

Well that's always been the rub ... It's a non-profit AND a for-profit company (controlled by a non-profit)

It's also extremely intertwined with and competes with for-profit companies

Financially it's wholly dependent on Microsoft, one of the biggest for-profit companies in the world

Many of the employees are recruited from for-profit companies (e.g. Google), though certainly many come from academic institutions too.

So the whole thing is very messy, kind of "born in conflict" (similar to Twitter's history -- a history of conflicts between CEOs).

It sounds like this is a continuation of the conflict that led to Anthropic a few years ago.
