If you feel like you've finally groked GPU/massive parallel software programming and need more challenges, I highly recommend playing around with digital circuits! The level of parallelism available to you in hardware is truly unmatched and it's incredibly fun, especially once you start really pushing implementations of your designs on FPGAs. Granted, FPGAs are frequently less useful than what you could do on a GPU due to the higher clock speeds available on ASICs (if your GPU core clock is 3GHz and your FPGA design maxes out at 500MHz [which would be admirable!], the GPU has nearly 6x the number of cycles to match or beat your implementation!).

> The existing statements would be libel if false.

Libel isn't really an issue here, because the statement from the board hardly made any factual assertions in the first place:

> Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.

There are a ton of possible interpretations of "he was not consistently candid".

However, there are lots of things that people can sue for besides outright libel/slander. I made the argument elsewhere that the legal nitpicking here isn't really that significant, because it's pretty easy to argue that the tenor of the board announcement would at least make it sound to a reasonable observer that Altman did something egregious.
Sam's push to commercialize and lockdown infrastructure is not in any way incompatible with the mission of OpenAI.

Just as no one is ready for marriage or kids until it happens, we aren't ready for AGI until it happens. It will never be safe enough.

Sam's strategy is to get it out as widely as possible, with incremental progress acclimating us to it. In exchange, OpenAI gets real data on safety over time.

The board is naive and idealistic. Ilya is a genius and his heart's in the right place, but unfortunately his brain isn't.
It'd be dumberer to not, as it appears the majority of that highly experienced staff is ready to follow him out the door.

That does not sound like the proper way to do an openAI 2.0. If Reddit ever hears that's how an AI company scraped them, they'll get sued for fun and profits.
I am in the fantastic situation of working for a company that recently transitioned to no payouts on separation (state law allows) with a staunch no unlimited PTO because of our customer demands. PTO has now become something of a sham.
Don't forget curry. That's critical.

But anyway no point in this. Python can match the terseness of JavaScript.

The only reason my implementation was long was because I used types and recursion. Python can have the same terseness as your old style untyped javascript if needed:

compose = lambda fs: (lambda x: reduce(lambda acc, f: f(acc), fs, x))
quadrupleAndSubtractTwo = compose(multiply(2), multiply(2), subtract(2))

remember the reduce function can be built out of recursion. What you see in JS is just a convenience function for reduce, if a language has recursion, reduce can easily be built in one line.

def reduce(f, xs, x):
return x if len(xs) == 0 else reduce(f, xs[1:], f(xs[0], x))

Thus reduce isn't really a "feature".

Python is superior to JS for FP because it can match the expressiveness of JS while adding the additional feature of exhaustive pattern matching and list comprehensions, which JS or TS can't do. This makes JS explicitly inferior.

OpenAI lesson: "if you built it, you own it"
Answer your question with a question:

Which ecosystems on Earth are "in equilibrium"?
There's a bunch of fun simulation games you can play where you can sort of prove this to yourself.

A given species doesn't just eat items X, Y, Z in a food web. In a pinch, they might be able to deal with others things. A W, perhaps. If the W-predating species suffers disease or some calamity, this other species can, to some degree, pick up the slack. It's really a key part of adaptive radiation. Maybe I could live here, although I don't usually. Maybe I could mate there, although it is a bit out of my comfort zone.

When you play those simulation games with just a few species, you see a lot of boom-bust cycles and eventually you get a collapse. Similarly, those sealed terrariums have similar problems: they eventually fall into a lower equilibrium of fewer species and then they kind of turn to mush.

I hesitate to say "role" because that feels assigned, but different species do different things in an overlapping fashion, like a cross-trained staff lowering your "bus factor."

Now, I imagine there's some kind of maximum number (so many species that finding someone to breed with is hard), but the minimums lack resiliency for various cycles.
It's just that there is no way for the model to map the token meanings to a iseful representation.

Yes, in the general case, you can make a model for most types of logic problems (but be careful there, there are real problems you couldn't represent as "a bunch of numbers" and a single transformation), the issue is that the model cannot build that representation even for simple cases because it,'s used to operate at on language (and maybe some other fuzzy input type), which has to be _reliably_ interpreted to this number space; in different ways for different problems; without breaking the language processing.
I love all of these breaking news morsels from the perspective that OpenAI didn’t just fire Sam Altman but rather are struggling through several rounds of trying to hire him, it has made Bloomberg, WSJ, FT etc. sound very smart

Hi. If you marry, you'd qualify for the O-3 spousal visa, which allows you to live in the US, but not work in the US. It's a significant drawback to the otherwise robust O-1 work permit.

You could also look into options for her EB-1A green card, which includes a derivative green card for the spouse. I'd consult a qualified immigration attorney re the timing and filing procedures. It's a great choice, but it can be tricky to sequence it correctly.

If not married, you'll need your own independent work permit to live and work in NYC.
That's been Southwest's business model for 40 years or more. It's not a secret and they do allow you to pay extra to board first. Otherwise, you need to check-in right when it opens. If that isn't acceptable to you there are other airlines.
Those boards don’t typically have nobodies on them with no credible experience on boards or startups.
So, I am advisor to several startups at different stages. One of them is pretty well bootstraped and has had a good Seed round not long ago. (All this here in Mexico)

Talking with their head of Engineering he was asking my advice on how to better hire Android devs; apparently they are having problems of candidates rejecting their offers at the end of their long hiring process.

The reason is because they are avoiding giving the law benefits: some companies in Mexico pay you the minimum in a "straight " manner and the rest they pay in different ways, all this to avoid some taxes.

When he explained me those reasons I straight told him: I'll give you 2 answers: as a person and as your advisor. As a person I would never work for your company, because what you are doing is shady. Even if it doesn't directly affect me (it actually does affect employees in several ways, but not many know), if you are open to that, what else are you open to.

It's crazy how little companies value their employees.

That’s awesome. It also sounds relatively trivial to implement I think. Do you have any reference though? Source code, write ups etc? Would love to learn from others.

In this case it would be tricky since the link is to google drive and we can’t block those. Also we’ve seen people work around url blocks by either using short links or by using html pages hosted for free to redirect using JS instead of an HTTP redirect. Always another mole to whack :,)
Okay but taking corporate comms absolutely literally is kinda irrelevant in the context of… corporate comms.
If OpenAI really is trying to create AGI, its CEO should be held to a higher standard than an ordinary CEO
Congrats on looking the tax rates up!

I didn't think the point was penny-saving. It was knowing what the final price will be.

I also didn't really get the GP's point that just assuming a rate of 10% is a good enough estimate, so there's also that.
The cherry on top would be if, in all the chaos of employee departures, the GPT-4 weights got leaked online.

Probably would be the best thing that could happen in turns of actually making AI "open", but also would unleash utter mayhem in the marketplace.

Sam should just found a new company, taking the people who quit in recent kerfuffle. Why would he go back to a place that dumped him?
That would be a most charitable interpretation. By that logic You and Florida Man: would also be it's 'best series' since they all clocked in higher than Shadow and Bone quite a few times.

If we honestly talking about their best performing properties we are talking about the likes of Squid Game, Stranger Things, Wednesday, Dahmer, Bridgerton, Money Heist, The Night Agent, The Queen's Gambit, Lupin and The Witcher S1.

Shadow and Bone is not even close to that group.
Perhaps many would not. I regularly do.
Who would trust the 4 board members in any future role?
If the OpenAI board didn’t spend the entire weekend in a board room figuring out what to do to salvage the organization, then they are a dimwitted as they look right now.

It’s one thing to not have to ask your major benefactors for input when you fire your CEO. It’s another to not do it and expect any further investment, ever. They should be in full on crisis mode and be trying to figure out how to get stakeholders back on board after so publicly slapping them in the face.
> But would really love to see more games with automation (like Factorio) but where the automation was coded.

SpaceChem is a programming game, and it's on the list, but it's not categorized under Hacking, Computer Science, Logic, and Automation, which would have been the correct category. It's listed under Puzzle & Casual instead. Opus Magnum has the same problem.

SpaceChem is more "programmy" than Opus Magnum. Do you like writing Befunge?
> That would just open them up to liability.

Modern growth tech is 80% perception, 20% reality.

Because with the capital that good perception affords, you can build a different reality.

Ergo, Altman seems to be spending more effort on managing perception than reality.
The difficulty, in this case, doesn't seem to lie in the chosen objective. Rather, the investors, ex-CEO, and many, many employees don't believe in the non-profit objectives. They want money and power. So, it seems like the difficulty is building an organization where people willingly reject money and power when presented with the option.
That's true, but we cannot fully exclude this just being a stupid, rushed move by the board, either, at least not yet. I would not bet on it, but it's a possibility.
Thanks for catching the reverse. I was aware of the off by one but thought the “to” operator I invented would be exclusive of the second operand (kinda like range in Python) :)
> I genuinely hadn’t noticed tax-inclusive pricing until a German friend pointed it out in Frankfurt.

Well, you’re not used to being able to rely on prices being accurate. Surely if you’re used to accurate prices you might be paying more attention if suddenly they’re no longer correct.
You can legally scrape anything that does not require a login in the US. You can also legally train an AI on it for now.

Show HN: App to Iterate on Docs with ChatGPT: Approvals, Diffs, Open Source
I built this tool to scratch an itch. I didn't want to go back and forth with ChatGPT while designing a database schema. There's no need for a chat history, I just want to work on a single document and revise it repeatedly with merge and transform commands. There's no real backend, it's all static site generation, so you'll need your own key. Alternatively, you can run it in a self-hosted environment as well.

A sample command would be like 'Give me a db schema for a TV series' and go from there, using commands to update it, merging in tables you want, or having a discussion with ChatGPT about potential concerns and/or imporvements.
Then those should not exist. Or should be outsourced to markets where labour costs match
>I’ve seen nothing that indicates this is actually occurring other than rumor laced leaks to tech media.

Altman was posting that he's at openai. So, while media reports might be posturing/inaccurate, it's very likely there's some negotiating going on. https://twitter.com/sama/status/1726345564059832609
I doubt it is fixable. Firing aside (which will be hard, but not impossible to make peace on), they have fundamental differences in goals. Even if you force a shotgun marriage to save the company, I would bet this will be a short term reprieve. Both goals can be successfully pursued, just not at the same company. My 2c.
No way Ilya gets to stay. The trust is broken far beyond repair.
It is quite obviously $50 cheaper. The people who picked their seats paid that $50. Again, you have an option here. If you must sit with you're party, you pay the fee. This isn't a junk fee. It is clearly presented when you select the type of ticket you wish to purchase.

Your complaint has to do with price discrimination. Different levels of service have different prices the same way a Volkswagen costs less than an Audi made in the same factory.
VScode started with vertical tabs only back in the day. It was a very interesting design choice. They switched to horizontal tabs from pressure.
"Salvage the organization"

They have one of the most valuable products in tech. They have a binding agreement with Microsoft and MS needs OpenAI more than the other way around. They have a dedicated set of researchers who have not pledged to leave and ultimatums have come and gone without mass resignations.

They fired their CEO. It happens. They aren't trying to "salvage" anything. Yes, the for-profit subsidiary investors are probably upset, but the major shareholder is the non-profit who... and this is important... is not beholden to the other for-profit investors!

I assume you're talking about competitive play, since you mentioned it, and lamented that competitive RTS play is ruined.

> since when is losing supposed to be fun? I don't want to give my opponent chances at a reversal. I want to win, reliably and assuredly.

This comment explains why this theoretical opponent of yours doesn't exist. You want to play against another human who you can defeat reliably, and who has no fun being defeated. Why would anyone ever want to be your opponent? It's not fun for them, and they have little chance of winning. This is why, as you observed, there's many tactical RTS games that people are playing, but nobody plays games like you imagine.

Yeah but people who engage in that type of behaviour usually aren't building a different reality, they're just bullshit artists.
Before Millennials, standing up for oneself was considered noble.
Supposing for the sake of argument that the majority of the board privately believe that Sam is a snake, but there's no smoking gun. At this point you're saying they have 2 choices:

1. Let him leave with 60% of the staff. 40% stay at OpenAI

2. Let him win this fight, he's back at OpenAI with de facto 100% control, no check on his power over the AGI that OpenAI is supposedly creating

I'd rather have a snake lead 60% of the staff than 100% of the staff.

On the other hand, if he leaves with 60%, maybe he decides he needs revenge at all costs, and his new AI org doesn't even pretend to be in it for humanity.

Tough choice. I guess we just have to hope that if the board's statement was right, the silent majority of the staff are in agreement.
On the other hand, these words are widely understood to mean "he lied" and judges (or juries) aren't stupid. Going for this kind of strong wording and then trying to weasel out by a minor technicality seems like a risky strategy, especially against someone having sufficient money to fight this until the bitter end.

Thanks.
More species means greater potential for adaptation as ecosystems shift. If one niche species dies off, there’s greater potential for a neighboring species to fill the gap.

On the same token, more species means more genetic diversity and higher levels of resilience to diseases and other threats.

Different species service ecosystems in different ways. Pollination, water purification, soil enrichment, etc. With too few species, key requirements for cross species survival are less likely to be met.

On a less scientific basis, more species just makes the planet richer. The thought of just a few dominant species across the planet is a very sad prospect and would represent a huge loss regarding the beauty that billions of years of evolution have brought us.
Quick update here: The block has been lifted and our domain has been marked as safe. This was a way better timeline than I could have hoped for given that it's still Sunday night in the American and European markets and it's still early morning in Asia. Australia, New Zealand and anything further than +7 GMT would have been minimally affected.

I really appreciate the community here sharing thoughts, similar experiences, and ideas on what to do. First time I've heard of the public suffix list for this.

A quick question to anyone who happens upon this: How does one prevent this issue affecting an entire site in general? Is there a grace period that Google gives a verified (via search console) site with a security issue? If not, then I'm curious how to protect a site which is targeted by malicious groups via comment widgets or if they host content using paths instead of subdomains. Eg: medium.com uses paths to go to user generated content. How would they defend from having their entire domain blocked if someone created a publication that linked out to malware?

Cheers all!

> I don't grant it

Neither do I.

> people are secret bigots? That sounds bad, you would rather they be open about their beliefs so you can identify them, no?

I don't know how much of a secret it is. This tends to be fairly obvious regardless of whether people say it openly, and depending on which circles you spend time in, you tend to hear it already in private anyway. Perhaps there are many people who were naive, ignorant, sheltered, and are shocked to learn about bigotry, but speaking only for myself, I'm not at all surprised by the continuing level of bigotry in society, and I knew it before the rise of social media.
