Completely agreed and that’s why I started my comment about open and competitive markets. Pricing under cost with VC cash subsidies to later raise prices after cornering a market is vicious and anticompetitive in my view. And it’s a market where consumers shouldn’t be surprised about prices rising aggressively over time
I mean if you went back in time and shot Hitler before they went Full Hitler, you'd probably be thrown in prison for murder. There are a limited subset of options we tend to have in situations like this.

Why not? Even the official installer is pretty straightforward, the biggest bottleneck that comes to mind is setting your flakes up with the right template. Even then... I don't think I spend more than 15 minutes a month editing or fixing my flakes. It feels more like a superpowered makefile than a roadblock; I recommend learning the ins-and-outs even if you intend to stick with hosted environments.
Perhaps. I ended up going to a coworking space with this person for a day as the latency doing it remotely was just too high.
> When I arrived, the hotel sprung me with a $50/night "resort fee"

If you voice your objection, follow up in writing, and have a decent credit card, you can almost certainly get it charged back. Because the hotel is not going to say, in writing, it isn’t optional. (You may not be welcome back.)
Did you even read the article? Here's what the main part of the article says (translated to English).

> Vitamin D in children: use medicines, not supplements, to prevent the risk of overdosing

> Cases of vitamin D overdosage have recently been reported in young children following the use of vitamin D-enriched dietary supplements. These cases manifest as hypercalcemia (excessive levels of calcium in the blood), which can have serious consequences, such as lithiasis/nephrocalcinosis (calcium deposits in the kidney).

> As a result, the Anses, the Agence nationale de sécurité du médicament (ANSM), learned pediatric societies, the collège national des sages-femmes and poison control centers are alerting healthcare professionals and parents to the risk of overdose associated with the administration of vitamin D-based dietary supplements to children, particularly infants.

This advisory is based on real, actual case of children overdosing on vitamin D complements.
No, the junk fees were the wasteful change to backend systems. No one forced companies to do that.
> When you leave the company they won't have to pay for your accrued vacation days.

Is this legally required? I worked at one place where this was the case and I was paid out for unused time upon leaving, but at another I was told I’d have to use it all up or lose it.
Has anyone tried using one of the models for cyber-security? I'm concerned that censored models are going to make that difficult, since I want to describe attacking systems.

That's not quite right, historically.

Behavior Driven Development began as a re-languaging of TDD: "The developers were much more receptive to TDD when I stopped talking about testing." -- Dan North.

BDD diverged from TDD fairly early, after some insights by Chris Matts.

As for TDD advocating tests of the public interface... that seems to me to have been more aspirational than factual. The tests in TDD are written by developers for developers, and as such tend to be a bit more white/clear box than pure interface testing would suggest.

In the edge cases where everything you need for testing is exposed via the "public" interface, these are equivalent, of course, but there are tradeoffs to be considered when the information you want when running isolated experiments on an implementation isn't part of the contract that you want to be supporting indefinitely.
AI safety (theatre). Doubles as a makeshift moat.

To me, the greatest apocalypse scenario is not some AGI global extinction event but a corporation with an extensive data hoard replete with ample ML and GPU power being able to monopolize a useful service that cannot be matched by the public... that is the true, (and likely imo) AI nightmare we're heading towards.
My thoughts are that people that maybe will return to office or mixed setups will be completely different group than one left office in a hurry. Like in my case we have some pressure from management and some excuses to avoid open conflict and not do RTO.
I agree that younger generation that wants to grow is really disappointed in ways current wfh works. I think opportunities to improve wfh setups to better teach youngsters are not exhausted yet.
imo, the best way to learn these is to implement them on a small scale yourself. When I wanted to learn about JOSE, I implemented a JOSE library and read the RFCs alongside my implementation. It taught me a lot.
I don’t really understand the question. We routinely worry about insane people with nuclear weapons; that’s why almost the entire world got together in 1968, and signed a treaty agreeing not to start any new nuclear weapons programs beyond the five that existed at the time. It’s not flawless, and four non-signatories have developed nuclear weapons since then, but I think any AI safety proponent would be more than satisfied with a similar agreement.
AGI recommends the following,

1. **Transparent Governance**: OpenAI should strive for greater transparency in its governance structure. This includes clearly outlining the roles and responsibilities of the nonprofit board versus the for-profit subsidiary, and how decisions impact each entity. This would help mitigate misunderstandings and conflicts of interest.

2. **Balanced Board Composition**: The board should be restructured to balance the interests of various stakeholders, including investors, employees, and the broader AI community. This can be achieved by having a diverse set of members with expertise in technology, business, ethics, and law.

3. **Stakeholder Engagement**: Regular engagement with key stakeholders, including investors like Microsoft and employees, is crucial. This ensures that major decisions, such as leadership changes, are made considering their potential impact on all parties involved.

4. **Leadership Stability**: To address concerns about leadership and company direction, it may be beneficial to have a stable leadership team that aligns with OpenAI's mission and values. This could involve a re-evaluation of Sam Altman's role and contributions, considering the interests of both the nonprofit and for-profit entities.

5. **Strategic Communication**: OpenAI should develop a strategic communication plan to address public concerns and market reactions. This includes clear messaging about its mission, decisions, and future plans, which can help maintain public trust and investor confidence.

6. **Ethics and Safety Focus**: Given the transformative potential of AI, OpenAI should continue to prioritize AI ethics and safety. This commitment should be evident in its operations, research directions, and partnerships.

7. **Long-Term Vision Alignment**: Finally, aligning the long-term vision of OpenAI with the interests of its stakeholders, including the global community it aims to serve, is essential. This involves balancing profitability with ethical considerations and societal impact.

By implementing these strategies, OpenAI can navigate its current challenges while staying true to its mission of developing AI in a safe and beneficial manner.

Maybe if Mac didn't make for such an anemic gaming platform with weak hardware. Even the most powerful pc's can't run this, I don't expect any arm-based platform to ever outside some hobbled mobile variant.
It has been selectively enabled on some accounts. Others do not experience it. Some have experienced it briefly and had it go away.

My wife's account had this several times, she stopped visiting YouTube for a couple weeks, and when she tried again it never blocked any videos.

I got stung on my account and YouTube has never let up - I'm having to refresh the ublock fixes list etc and sometimes that doesn't even work. I've nearly completely stopped watching YouTube now.
Is you.com using gpt4?
Why not just let the ads play per the social contract we have. Ask yourself, if everyone did what I do, would it ruin the service I enjoy for everyone? If the answer is yes, then stop doing it.

It's better to just stop using YouTube than install these hacks.

It’s a shame that RealPlayer is remembered like that, given that they were doing their best with 56k modem connections. My current internet connection is something like 15,000 times faster than in 2000, so I expect that I would probably not be waiting for buffering.
Yeah, what the above says

I also don’t hate the side effect that it somewhat points out to you that it’s the govt taking a cut

It sure is nice in most of the rest of the developed world to buy a product or service and immediately know how many dollars have to go from me to them because it’s the one price, though.
Yeah, a long daily commute on public transit is nothing great either. I did about a 90 minute one about half the time for 18 months and it was not sustainable long-term.
Sure, could do, just that I'd rather ensure that compatibility remains rather than retool on opentofu (admit that's not a big deal currently whilst in parity) and have some compatibility drift in the future. Would rather wait and see if there's a more unified solution.
And if that's piracy then I should be arrested for piracy when I put my computer on mute and when I look away from ads, because that's what I'll do if there's no other technical way not to watch ads.
Honestly, fuck this publication and fuck this title. Using "Sam Altman is Dead" for clicks...really?
Why _would_ they block themselves? How would that be to their advantage?
Hi, huge Swizec fan here. I've been following your extraordinary-ability story since 2016. It's an amazing, inspirational, funny saga about the work and perseverance required to get this done. Hope it's OK to share these here:

Congratulations to you, sir. This is how you do it. Thanks for sharing your epic journey! I'm glad it paid off.
A tool promoting fake knowledge, and replacing experts by hallucinating logistic lunatics - what could go wrong? The fact that programmers cannot even imagine how complex knowledge outside his area of expertise is, does not mean it is innocent to marketize such things...
Reflexively, my answer is yes, but what's your definition of "scam"?

In particular, in California (where many startups with "unlimited" PTO are located), the laws are such that employees accrue PTO, and that PTO must be paid out upon termination or leaving the company. By having "unlimited" PTO, the company no longer has PTO on the books that must be paid out, which affects their balance sheets.

The other thing, of course, is that it's unlimited until they fire you. Which at a high-paced startup that very much notices your absence (low bus factor), is going to be low.

As you've noticed, you often take less time off with unlimited PTO. That's a feature (for the company) not a bug. Some more advanced places with unlimited PTO have a minimum PTO of 2 weeks for this reason.

Most important is to do right by you, and take more vacation!
There is another sort of worst case (company's perspective): An employee thinks they need to rebuild their house and needs to do it all by hand, hence will be on leave for the next six months. Or, say, wants to explore Europe backpacking and hence needs break for the next two months.

With unlimited PTO the biggest challenge is to define (both ways) what qualifies for a good reason to go on a leave.

I have enjoyed unlimited PTO wherever I had. But I tried to have my own benchmark of about four weeks in a year. Of course, there have been times when I needed more, and it was fine. There have been times when I didn't need four weeks either, and I was okay with that too!
Calm down, OP wasn't make a false equivalence to defend the presence of evil content, OP was saying no one complains about META because Zuck isn't a spoiled little white supremacist taking potshots at oppressed groups. OP wasn't trying to diminish METAs evil, just explain why fewer people care. Chill.
I’d switch for a comparable product at a better price point. If there isn’t a comp (I’m not sure in this case), then I don’t get complaining about prices going up for a cloud service at a reasonable rate if you want that service to be around in the long run.

That said I do pay more for organic locally grown produce. Personal choice because those local tomatoes are banging
Shameless OSS plug time. I made a small utility many years ago to solve the Terraform state problem in CI by using a file in S3 with a expiration timestamp as a locking mechanism. Obviously this only scratches the surface of what Terraform Cloud does, but might be enough for many teams. Feel free to fork it for your own purposes: https://github.com/evantbyrne/terrarium

Three things.

1. I read to the bottom of this, and somebody's like "BTW, Altman has no equity." Really, the CEO and a board member has no equity?

2. The CIA joined the board (former, whatever, you're CIA)? And suddenly, everybody has somewhere else to be.

3. "We got everything we need, run away! We all happen to be developing closely aligned products, thanks Microsoft."
If you care if they’re around tomorrow, then yes you would.

Otherwise you end up hopping between services that start out free, no strings attached and then turn to crap.

There’s more to the comparison than price.
It is one that can be found via static analysis. That may not be true if behavior is changed. In some cases, this may be "ok" (see: Go's recent loop changes), but in others, it may not.
Not sure why you’ve been downvoted when your statement is largely true. This isn’t even controversial. As with most public companies, the products WILL gradually get worse over time as the shareholders attempt to extort more profit from each customer while adding as little value as possible to their product.
Somebody should tell that to the multi-billion dollar a year industry that sprung up over the buying and selling of the most mundane details of our lives. Or maybe they should ask why basically every company everywhere spends so much time and money collecting, storing, and managing far more data on their customers (and anyone else they can) than they actually need to conduct their business. Companies don't usually like spending a bunch of resources for zero reason. The idea that "your data isn't worth anything" is demonstrably false. Your data is so valuable that it's making companies money hand over fist, and most of it that is at your expense.
That's going to break following this change anyway.

It doesn't usually take you 1-3 months to master eating food from the other store, whereas a language/platform is a major investment of your time. And you become a part of a community that helps each other, so making sure the community thrives is a worthwhile investment (hopefully greater than whatever you're paying monthly / what you spend comes back to you in opportunities).

OP phrased it poorly, but I'm likewise perplexed at how someone can be running a business that revolves around subletting a domain name and not know about the Public Suffix List. It seems like at some point they would have thought through some of the security problems inherent in sharing a domain, researched solutions, and learned about the list.
Surely your inventory/POS systems need to know what price/tax rates to charge anyway. I understand your point in the context of an ad in a magazine offering a good at a particular price, but I don't think it makes sense at all in the context of a store with tickets on items that don't actually correspond to the price at the till.
A generator that can run heaters, even a heat pump, for more than 10 minutes, needs to burn natural gas or propane or gasoline or deisel. You can't store enough in batteteries.

Electricity serves as a backup for gas because it's the grid, or a generator, not a battery. A big generator works for efficient heat pumps, but in the all-electric future (if it comes too fast like now, before we actually have enough grid and better storage), there will be no generators or gas to fuel them. There will be batteties and solar that can do everything light and nothing heavy. Even with a generator, it needs to be a pretty big generator that most people don't have, and if you tried to use space heaters you could only use a couple small ones and you've maxxed out the generator. A big but not crazy generator can run a whole house heat pump, and that almost uses up the entire generator.

Whole house non portable generators can run on piped natural gas, which gives you not only heat but electricity while the power is out.

If you only have power, there is no effective backup for it, unless as I said you actually have an entire 2nd grid that duplicates the efgective entire 2nd grid that is the gas pipes. Different physical distribution infrastructure (so 2 sets of independant cables) operated by 2 different organizations, in 2 different physical locations (one buried, one not, whena truck takes out a pole, it doesn't affect the buried, when a backhoe or ice heaving takes out a buried, it doesn't affect the poles, etc)

That level of redundancy sounds outlandish but we actually have that right now, and will be losing it.

Maybe it's not valuable enough to maintain, but there is no way around the fact that it is something that will be lost.
While it's a bit unusual for a new account submitting only one site to have two posts on the front page, it seems to be a well-written article. I certainly appreciate fresh takes over someone submitting the same Paul Graham or Kalzumeus page that been submitted dozens of times, or over users who submit several times a day, every day (tosh, tomte, etc)
Musk: 'thermonuclear lawsuit' against media watchdog, advertisers 'oppressors'
The way Altman behaved and manipulated the board to form this Frankenstein company is also appalling. I think it's clear now that openAI board are not business ppl, and they had no idea how to work with someone as cold and manipulative as Altman, thus they blundered and made fools of themselves, as often happen to the naive.
RealLifeLore just had a video about time zones in that area of the world, there's an area between New Zealand and Hawaii where you can go north/south and jump an entire day.

When was the last time we found same hotel prices across states or counties? Oh it is 300$ plus tax in new York and it is 300 inclusive in Philly but ... I am not going to Philly. McDonald's maybe but not a hotel since so much depends on the location and amenities.
I think that's not the right question to ask, you're good enough to apply wherever you want.

As for working on yourself, I'd say do that constantly, improve continuously and keep applying. Your idea to do a comparison with people who work there is a good one, you might also message them, might find more answers that way
The solar system has a north pole and a south pole based on the rotation of the Sun. Basically the only places in which there isn't something to orient against are in the depths of inter-galactic-cluster voids with nothing around. And if a being is stuck in one of those voids, orientation is way down the list of problems they have.
Sounds like a podcast app, but for video. A mix of yt-dl and some checks for specific channel updates.

Horrifying amounts of local storage required though.
I think parent refers to Codespaces and vscode.dev, not VSCode proper. These can indeed become gradually more locked down since they are completely online and out of the user's control, and as the UX difference between offline and cloud shrinks, people (especially new generations of developers) will slowly migrate there because of the convenience of not maintaining a toolchain themselves.

IOW, frog being boiled slowly.

Before the first nuclear test, they ran a calculation to make sure that there's no risk of the whole atmosphere chain-reacting and the world ending. The guy who did it said he was like 96% confident in that it won't happen. And they went with it anyway. Took a 4% risk of blowing up Earth.

Is this a reasonable chance to take?

"We don't have any evidence that intelligence equals compute" is worse than "we're 96% confident it doesn't". Ilya Sutskever clearly believes this is a real risk (otherwise he wouldn't have thrown his reputation and wealth to the wind by firing his cofounder yesterday). He is one of the foremost experts. So are two of the "fathers of AI", Hinton and Bengio, who both have no interest in creating a moat and yet signed letters saying "this is an extinction risk, lets treat it like nuclear", one of them quitting his job to be able to say it.

We don't have much evidence for or against, but that's not a great argument against "if it's true, we all die".
At a prior company, we had a terraform slack channel, where people would post lock and unlock emojis and apply terraform manually.

Obviously, it's not a perfect system, and it doesn't indefinitely scale, but it worked well enough.
Perhaps nobody has told you yet, but other people might have different tastes than you do.
>But the idea of it turning against us, consciously hurting us,

You keep using the C word without understanding the ramifications that it's not needed at all.

A virus doesn't consciously kill you. It's the closest thing we have to computer code in the wild really. It gets in your body and executes again and again until everything falls apart.

As a human, one you probably don't have the skill and ability to make viruses, and two, people that do are quite enamored with the ethical considerations because they are human and will be affected by it.

As a smart robot application making and testing viruses there are no self ethical considerations. You (the AI entity) would not be affected by your own creations. 'You' may not even consider ethics at all. Instead you pump to trillions and trillions of different strings and see what they do, until suddenly one day the meat puppets that tap your keyboards stop showing up.
