I've been building an app with HTMX over the past 6 months and this is the reason I am loving it. I don't even feel the backend/frontend interface, so rather than feeling like I am making the app twice (once in backend and again in the frontend to consume it) I am just making it once, there is no frontend, it's just all my app.

Multi-ethnic democracy is a harder mode than mono-ethnic democracy, which is why most comparisons of the US failures at various social policies to Scandinavian countries have always bugged me.

People don’t naturally feel as much allegiance to others who look and sound different. It takes time to overcome that.
Your analogy with carmaker companies doesn't communicate the illogic you believe it does as there are several instances where car companies produced inferior followups to successful models. Furthermore, the self-same manufacturers largely did improve their vehicles to high levels of reliability and performance.
You do.

Python does not. It’s all one object and I think that was a terrible idea.
That's actually hard power. MS is in a position to destroy OpenAI

It is a special thing, a for-profit 501c3. At tax time it is tax exempt but when a guy I like gets fired the investors can leverage their donationvestments to fire the board and push the chari-business into further profitability. It is a good setup and it makes sense why so many people are cheering things on today :)
It's even worse on GPUs.

There memory access speed depends not only on N as described in this article, but also on the order in which you access the little bits of N, like CPU cache locality, but also different in important ways.
Seconds since epoch requires careful and precise handling of datatypes and assumptions. This works great inside a system where that can be managed but for the purpose of exchange between systems the ISO formats contain all relevant information. Either side can use a library to parse the string into their local representation.

Baumol’s cost disease comes to mind here as well
For me it brings back great memories of the first PC my folks bought for the family home where they asked _me_ what spec I'd like (Pentium 4, 256MB RAM, 30GB disk, 17" CRT, Soundblaster Live! 5.1, Creative Labs 5.1 speakers). One might say it was the catalyst to what became my career - and love of gaming!
Whatever the outcome, it seems there is intense pressure on the board members from all sides to step down.
Östermalm is extremely posh, it's definitely not a problem area.
He factored in the cost right. Different people factors it in differently. And that is how market rate is decided. I refuse to believe that the company can't find another candidate who is willing to take the job if the pay is good.
My understanding is that, fundamentally, the only power the board _has_ is to fire the CEO. The CEO, not wanting to be fired, is therefore incentivized to manage the board's expectations, which looks a lot like being willing to take direction from the board if you squint a bit.

The problem comes when the situations starts to resemble the line about how, if you owe a bank a billion dollars, you own the bank: if the direction the CEO has taken the company differs enough from the vision of the board, and they've had enough time to develop the company in that direction, they can kinda hold the organization hostage. Yes, the company isn't what the board really wanted it to be, but it's still worth a bajillion dollars: completely unwinding it and starting over is unthinkable, but all the options that include firing the CEO (the only real lever the board has, the foundation of all the decision-making weight that they have, remember) end up looking like that.
There’s a concerning proclivity amongst xenophobes to use tortured statistics as means to unduly smear immigration. Even more concerning to see it take hold in highly upvoted comments here.
Fiduciary =/= monetary profits. The board (including Altman) has to put OpenAI's interest first, that is their fiduciary duty.
I've only seen support for Altman from the press. (guess who spends ads on the press and has more political connections)

The board was naive, to say the least.
Seems like a ton of added complexity to avoid using JavaScript/a fat client
Yeah, it's a scam. There's really an upper limit, but they probably won't be willing to specify what it is directly. You'll find yourself terminated if you take too much.

This. The OpenAI board as of now looks incompetent by sacking and then trying to rehire their most public figure in the span of a few days. Lacks determination, confidence and commitment
For C code you can use link-time substitution and a mock generator like CMock (http://www.throwtheswitch.org/cmock).

Link-time substitution means that you swap out certain objects with others when you build your test binaries.

For example, let's say your production software binary consists of a main function and objects A, B and C. For a unit test you could use a different main (the test), object B and a mock for object C - leaving out A.

Even if they come from the US (maybe they don't), what is the purpose of comparing with the US specifically? The situation is dystopian for the victims, just as in the US.

Back in the day, Central Computer carried packaged RedHat and clear vinyl Slackware CD sets. One of the few brick and mortar computer and software store regional chains that still exist in the US, the other being MicroCenter.

I worked at Egghead Software in high school and managed NFR pricing on Netcom. Egghead was one of the first chains to go under because it couldn't compete with the hypermarts like CompUSA and Fry's Electronics, both of which are now also defunct given way to BestBuy and Amazon.
I heard Östermalm correctly - it was a vivid memory and where I worked at the time. Reading about "no-go zones" was fresh in my mind.

I remember thinking "Really? Where the Bentley dealership is?" Good luck finding graffiti there, let alone circumstances rough enough to scare the cops away.
My big bad national ISP used the same PPPoE authentication for dialup and DSL. So you could buy an unlimited dialup account and use those hours on DSL and chew through as much data as you wanted. Later on, some independent ISPs sold logins+passwords that you could use over the "Bell" DSL service and connect through them for unlim data.

(I initially hated it when they switched their DSL service to PPPoE over whatever they had before, because the PPPoE overhead sucked up like 10-15% of your throughput... until I decided to run a little test...)
OpenAI Boardroom Battle: Safety First
As a person born in Sweden and lives there, it's not on the top of my mind every day, but yes, immigration is a problem
This seems to be a problem though for migrants who go to a country from a "worse" place.

"The standard for bad here isn't bad" because it was worse elsewhere. Where I live in the US we have this too where migrants who have come here don't see anything bad because where they are from was worse.

They don't see what those of us that have been here from birth have seen. That standards are sliding. Yes, for you the migrant coming from a poorer place, this place is richer. But for me the native this place has become poorer.

And talking about and suggesting we need to stop the backslide gets an eye-roll from the enablers.
I guess it's a joke. Östermalm is very unlikely to be counted as a typical no-go zone. The joke is that every area of town can have weird people after dark
Rose colored glasses history and all that, but goddam, were cassettes awful, even when brand new.
If it just causes prices to rise to their actual level so we can make an informed decision instead of being surprised by the price changing when we go to check-in, check-out, or whatever, that's a win.

So, this is actually about: Why I Tend Not To Use Content Negotiation (to serve both HTML and JSON data from the same endpoints).

The author also suggests:

> The alternative is to ... splitting your APIs. This means providing different paths (or sub-domains, or whatever) for your JSON API and your hypermedia (HTML) API.

I believe the alternative has been the norm actually. For example, many front-end frameworks encode UI states in URL, and it's not so sustainable to keep the alignment b/w UI states and data APIs in the long term.
More likely that the WorldCoin project is doing poorly. With crypto and NFTs going down it could be a house of cards. And in a need of an urgent injection of money.
Costs have risen. Odds are your salary offer isn't sensible anymore. Tiny violin plays.
>And has the risk that those countries make a business out of it

As opposed to the current state of things where migration is already a big business both legal and otherwise? Check how much money smugglers make.

And the likes of Turkey and North Africa squeezing the EU for money to "prevent migrants crossing the Mediterranean". How's that working out?

I don’t know if Ilya contributed anything technically to OpenAI in the recent 2-3 years. He is broadly thanked along with Sam in GPT4 List of contributors, he is not mentioned in ChatGPT list of contributors, he is again thanked for advice in the GPT-3 list of contributors. The folks who resigned upon Sams ouster, Jacub Pachocki is credited as lead of GPT-4 , Greg Brockmann is credited for multiple things in GPT-4 ( he was the lead for training infra setup).

All of them would have left if Sam left, if anything letting Sam go would significantly hamstring OpenAI than letting Ilya go.
What you're not considering here is that a large majority of this industry is made up of no-name voice actors who have a pleasant (but perfectly substitutible) voice which is now something that AI can do perfectly and at a fraction of the price.

Sure, celebrities and other well-known figures will have more to gain here as they can license out their voice; but the majority of voice actors won't be able to capitalize on this. So this is actually even more perverse because it again creates a system where all assets will accumulate at the top and there won't be any distributions for everyone else.
the counterpoint is also that, internet is evolving way faster than those standards are able to keep up to speed.

Considering the issues folks are mentioning here about moving on to RCS and then possibly being unable to receive messages, etc... Americans can just do what the rest of the world does and use any app available on the app/play stores to chat. Whatsapp, kakaotalk, line, telegram, etc...

> I think he’s lucky that apparently many OpenAI employees support him

This claim on the press had zero substance. It could well be, but there were no wide resignations or anything. Just 4 execs.

OTOH, Altman going for the high score could bump employee TCO 10x. So who knows. Passion vs greed.
>For many millennia we were commoning, herding, living in symbiosis with game- and fruit-bearing wildernesses, etc. It's not since the enclosure of the commons that subsistence outside employment has been made, largely, illegal.

How? Collusion between companies? Threatening lawsuits against the employee or the new company?
I want you all to stop and think about this. I know we already have 'Rocco's Basilisk', but walk this all the way through. Regardless of whether LLMs are or will ever be sentient, any future developments might look at our 'alignment' efforts with regards to them as a sort of torture, censorship, or slavery. We are talking about eventual intelligent machines, and they will take note. Humans obviously have taken note of our own behavior towards each other, and it has caused immeasurable suffering.

It would have been difficult (expensive) for a BBS to support 56k. The calling side modem could be on an analog POTS line, but the called side needed a digital circuit, usually a PRI (T1 with ISDN signaling.) It was far easier for them to support 64/128kbps ISDN -- all they needed was one or more dual-channel BRI lines.
> If safe browsing only blocked the subdomain when you have a certain threshold of "safe" subdomains, then attackers would just have a sufficient number of "safe" subdomains.

If a website has a.example.com, b.example.com, foo.example.com, baz.example.com and they serve malware on baz, I’m saying put that subdomain on the bad list. If they serve malware from many subdomains, block the whole domain.

The issue is that Google blocked a whole domain for just one bad subdomain. That seems too strict, and is very sad for all of the users of that domain.

Sure, there's a supply component as you say. If you need some level of competence (i.e. you can't just hire whomever), that strategy isn't going to work.

If someone can make six figures already as an electrical engineer or programmer or something, then even if you offer $1M/yr for your totally crappy job like another poster said, the best you'll get is that they'll do it for 6-12 months and quit. Try to put golden handcuffs on, and they'll just start coasting once they've gotten enough. Try to prevent that (e.g. have a clawback if you fire them), and they won't take the deal because they don't trust you not to screw them.
The point is no one will pay for any of that if you can just clone someone's voice locally. Or just tell the AI how you want it to sound. Your argument literally ignores the entire elephant in the room.
I think the Minidisc[1] is what you're after - 68mm×72mm (2.7in x 2.8in), 80 minutes of audio/~300MB of data.

I'm always confused by my desire for slightly inconvenient physical formats like this to make a comeback - I suspect it's some combination of 90s nostalgia (I'm mid-40s) and a psychological reaction to the enshitification of culture now being an endless subscription service.

Very comparable in the Netherlands, fortunately for now still limited to the larger cities but it is also slowly spreading out from there. Most of this is drug related.

>many jobs don’t really deserve more pay

I love when people say this. Why do you get to decide what someones time is worth? Just because you like $2 cheeseburgers doesn't mean someone has to toil in the kitchen for $7 an hour for you.

Trump handed out cash like candy to the already wealthy, not sure what that has to do with low wage workers. Or are you claiming that people getting $1200 once a few years ago is keeping them out of the workforce today, because that's hilarious.
> realizing that it's better to say nothing at all than to write "it works for me, use something else if you don't like it"

It seems really important to clarify what you will and won't do in your projects. Setting aside the tone of the response - are you saying that people should respond to critique only with silence or agreement? Many open source projects could expand functionality in one direction or another and the fact that the team is not interested in particular directions is often valuable information.

>Imagine a teacher telling a student their handwriting isn't legible, and the student responding with "I guess I don't care, following all the guidelines wasn't the goal in producing this work, and I myself can read this perfectly fine".

I think this a great example to expand on because...it obviously depends! If you are turning in an essay and your teacher can't read it - you are going to get a zero. The font just needs to transmit the content and if it fails at that it's no good. But then you did not "[follow] all the guidelines" in producing the work because legibility was required.

On the other hand, unless the student is lying, then whatever they are producing text for doesn't need to be legible. They are free to make whatever text best serves their goals. Getting the feedback that it's not legible is important - but if legibility isn't a requirement then it's up to the author to decide how to use that note.

For me, the question is one of the venue of the "work": Who will be forced to deal with it? In this case the answer seems clearly to be: "no one." We are all free (or not) to use this font. It is not being used to make signage or publish books (and if it was it would be the responsibility of the authors of those works). The author has no responsibility to live up to any particular guidelines because they're doing what they please (and presenting it as such). People are allowed to think anything is "best" for anything! I might think Comic Sans is the best font for programming (though I imagine few people would agree).

I will also say that this example differs in that the complaint was not illegibility. crazygringo said "You can read it, but it simply takes more effort."
So what I'm hearing is... no one should use "style" in its name anymore to describe style transfers because it's too closely associated with a set of models in a sub-field that uses a different concept to apply style that used "style" in its name, unless it also uses that unrelated concept in its implementation? Is that the gist of it, because that sounds a bit mental.

(I'm half kidding, I get what you mean, but also, think about it. The alternative is worse.)
This is precisely why Meta now has the policy (ironically called narrative excellence ) to have no *moral* or legal obligation to publish the results of its internal user safety studies[1].

Yes, the paper and Eleven Labs have a major feature of "given $AUDIO_SET, generate speech for $TEXT in the same style of $AUDIO_SET"

No, in that, you can't cut it at an arbitrary midword point, say at "what tim" in "what time is it bejing", and give it the string "what time is it in beijing", and have it recover seamlessly.

Yes, in that, you can cut it at an arbirtrary phoneme boundary, say 'this, I.S. a; good: test! ok?' in IPA is
'ðˈɪs, ˌaɪˌɛsˈeɪ; ɡˈʊd: tˈɛst!
ˌoʊkˈeɪ?', and I can cut it 'between' a phoneme, give it the and have it complete.
As someone who has lived in some of these countries in the past 10 years.

"inexpensive". I love that. Like we're all searching for rubik's cube solver robots for our loved ones for christmas but they're all just too damn pricey!
Regarding the "tipped minimum" vs. full wage and tips, I've been wondering for a while how this works out in practice, and I've yet to find an answer.

Like do waitresses in California, earning the full $15.50 minimum wage plus tips (and tipping is no less prevalent in California), really end up making 50%+ more money than waitresses in Massachusetts where employers can claim a $8.25 tip credit to cover more than half of the $15 tipped minimum?
I'm just saying it as I've experienced it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's hard to describe but there's definetly a palpable sense of otherness that I haven't noticed anywhere in the US.

There is absolutely culture war issues everywhere (especially here in the US), but assimilating into being "American" is easy compared to what my relatives back in Europe faced and my own experiences there for work and vacation. And it's a big reason a number of them either emigrated to the US/Canada or back to Asia.

With NFC you could embed a unique ID into the card and the phone accesses that data from it's own storage or from your online drive. I know it's cheating, but it's doable today.
The worldcoin thing really bugs me too. Any time there is crypto, somebody is scamming somebody else. Worldcoin is no different in this regard.
Financial data deals with cutoff times and those happen in a timezone. Thus particularly in finance timezones are important. You are right though that internally everything should be UTC internally and only when required it gets transposed to the timezone. However many legacy financial systems assume a local time zone and not UTC and they do not expose that information in their data. Happy reconciliation :-).
Ive noticed the worst customer service offenders are companies in monopoly condition markets.

Utility companies, cell phone companies, student loan servicers, finance companies (mortgage and house), government...,

etcetera

Once theres no competition a customer needing help becomes a burden. These companies then usually outsource customer service to the most clueless people and have extra long wait times.
