> it's logically inane to say that someone's criticism of something is invalid because they didn't speak out or criticize some other thing that they most likely don't even know about.

I'm not saying the criticism of Hamas and/or Israel is invalid, I just found it worth pointing out that there are conflicts that teens somehow can make up their mind on (that's TikTok's claim, not mine) and strong enough that they take to the streets for that, while they likely haven't heard of other somewhat comparable conflicts (support by "their government", civilians dying, half the world away, ...) at all.

Maybe it's just the general media circus (Yemen _isn't_ very present in the media, after all), but "algorithm" or not, I'm considering TikTok part of that media circus.

As such, "the kids are just voicing their opinion" seems a rather shallow excuse to me: They pick up what gets amplified. Having no idea about Yemen but strong opinions on "who's the baddie" in Gaza (since folks like to talk colonialism: it's clearly the UK) doesn't sound like an independently formed opinion at all, and so I'm not willing to let TikTok (et al) off the hook.
Since Microsoft is paying the bills, yes, I'd expect them to be consulted.

Really, most organizations try to maintain at least some facade of predictability and transparency.
Maybe 'spending' is a better word, yes. However, 'consumption' isn't entirely inaccurate. Investment is the production of capital goods, and the production of capital goods involves consumption.
This is amazing. Brings back so many memories! I think I've first got this demo (the original one) from the CD-ROM included with the Gravis UltraSound. Blew my mind. And now still does, on 1 MHz!
I just learned about the SBIRS mission that Lockheed built, which is a constellation of far earth orbit satellites that are constantly scanning every inch of the entire globe with IR cameras with missile/plane/boat/person(?) level resolution. And has been for at least nine years now.

Incredible.

Here is a video that explains it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDTnl4E9FiY
Unless the mil-tech was going to their enemies.
It should. That's how GPS signals work, you receive 20 of them superimposed below the noise floor, and you use math and known pseudo-random-generator seeds to separate them.
The frequency observed across all loads in the system might be very consistent, but the phase is absolutely not. Different types of transformers introduce different phase shifts, so this can't work.
Well if you have a better business model, we're all ears.

Was OpenAI just supposed to live on the good graces of MSFT?

Do you know how much GPT4 costs? Plus training for GPT5? Plus supporting all those alignment efforts which just hinder the utility?
$7.99 in 2010 is $11.27 today. The remaining $4.22 delta is reasonable given that their business model has changed from purely licensing with zero competition to being locked out of popular content and forced to produce their own.
Follow up with the prompt "rewrite that so that it doesn't look stupidly verbose" and it will do exactly as requested.
> You just gave me a sad idea where there are people who exist to adulthood who have never burned paper or seen it burn first-hand.

Done that, never again. I thought it would be cool to burn my paper print of some key material. Opened the door, put a lighter to the paper on the landing just a step from the door.

The paper did not burn cleanly as I imagined, and I had soon rather large pieces of burned paper flying inside my apartment. Not burning, luckily, but brittle and becoming ash wherever I tried to catch them or pick them up.

Learned my lesson: Put paper into a fireproof container, then burn it.
Jimmy Apples (Anonymous OpenAI Insider) Prediction a Month Ago: Ride or Die
I unironically believe that Duolingo is a pacifier that makes you feel good. It's goal is to maximize engagement, not help you learn a language. This is coming from someone who has spent a considerable amount of time on the platform, maxing two different language trees and am currently unable to speak a lick of either of those languages.
Maybe some want to celebrate BSers like Adam Neumann or Elizabeth Holmes who are good at pretending to be important and conning investments, but it never really impressed me, sorry.

I’ll stick to celebrating the actual brains, like Ilya Sutskever.
Won't a truly open model conflict with the AI executive order?
This may well be the case, and the one that I would hope is underlying all of this. But until the board clearly states this it is also speculative.
OpenAI's corporate structure doesn't fall under "most cases"—I assume the board wanted to demonstrate independence from investors.
yes it was, yannick showed it on his yt channel.
Yeah, the message from the board hinted at something very bad. Why scare people like that?

If they just said philosophical differences or something that would have been sufficient.
When an iteration entails 200 tanker loads of fuel and oxidizer, 39 rocket engines, and a giant steel rocket, and the iteration takes 7 months, with Artemis 1 having flown a year ago, this is also why agile everything is a bad idea.
I remember names, I remember faces, just fine. What I miss is the ability to tie them together. Especially people I haven't smelled in a while or at all.

My wife is a bit worse; she gets names mixed up but in a deep way. So when we watch a movie she'll insist (fr example) that we're seeing Robin Williams in "Anaconda", he's the same guy was in "Mission Impossible"... or "You know, the guy that was Gimili and Sallah in Indiana Jones, Dom DeLuise."

She'll come out with something like that; I know she's talking about someone else, and can bring the face to mind; but not the name. or vice versa.

Makes for fun discussions about "what we want to watch tonight," and the occasional pause a movie to go track down who someone is and where we saw them before.
Maybe, but I have a different opinion. I have worked at startups before where we were building something both technically interesting and what could clearly be a super value add for the business domain. I’ve then witnessed PMs be brought on who cared little about any of that and instead tried to converge in the exact same enshittified product as everywhere else with little care or understand for the real solutions we were building towards. When this happened I knew within a month that the vision of the company, and it’s goals outside of generating investor returns, was dead if this person had their way.

I’ve specifically seen the controlling members of a company realize this after 7-8 months and when that happens it’s a quick change of course. I could see why you’d think it’s ego but I think it’s closer to my previous situation than what you’re stating here. This is a pivotal course correction and they’re not pretty, this just happens to be the most public one ever due to the nature of the business and company.
One of my students in a summer school class about programming just couldn't get their head around what a variable was. These concepts are very hard to teach when you are very familiar with them and they come natural to you.
I tried for “English must not change” but sadly I never bought that Anglo-Saxon dictionary I lusted after in my favorite used bookstore 30 years ago.
A noncompete has value. If its worth 50k then pay for a noncompete equivalent to 50k wages worth of hours. Simple as that.
I think you're right here. To give a hypothetical from current events, the US/NATO forces may not have direct access to information from Russian cellular networks, but a bunch of cell signals in an unusual place could indicate a troop movement or something.
They probably preach that because they never saw land expire in decades, but they've seen money expire a few times.
Such a bad take. Developers (me included) loved Dev Day.
Compression tends to discard high-frequency signals since they use the most bits.

If you slightly alter the low frequency signals, they will be preserved. 30.1 Hz -> 30.2 Hz.

So you're talking about Arm as CPU design, not as the ISA, yup?
At the risk of getting blasted, I keep seeing all these people talking about how it's great OpenAI is being steered back to a research organization. How does one expect research to make money if not being beholden to a product? Forget whatever your immediate reaction to that word is. I can already hear the "who needs another SV overhyped product" group, and your ignoring the realities that people don't pay so you can sit around thinking in industry unless your thinking can generate business value. You can not like that, but it's the system we exist in.

So let me frame it another way, how does research expect to be supported if it's not providing material value? Research doesn't exist in a vacuum, if you don't want to be in industry you don't have to, we have academia for that.

I'm cool with OpenAI becoming more like Google brain, but then its Microsoft calling the shots. Except wait the company structure is weird, so they're not really and after seeing how Ilya handled this I don't expect him to be able to stomach that relationship long term.

I'm not bullish on OpenAI right now.
Fira Code and Caskaydia are my favorites.
I'll agree with this as a self taught person.

I'll admit to being a little shaky on the types of programming needed in enterprise projects at the beginning (less of a focus on maintainable code, but probably more of a focus on what the machine is actually doing), as I only knew exactly what I needed to hack together whatever my hobby project was, but after 5 years of a career and working in 9 different languages it's been pretty easy.

I mean, occasionally there's something that takes a bit to work into my brain's L1 cache, like the precise semantics of prototypical inheritance in javascript, or call by name in scala, but for the most part, everything's been extremely transferable. A hashmap is still a hashmap in any language.

> They can be removed, but it isn't easy to do so without making it obvious that the image is damaged / doctored.

This is primarily because those watermarks damage the image. The information about the content of the image beneath the watermark is missing (replaced with the watermark) and would have to be extrapolated or fabricated to replace it.

If the watermark isn't visible as part of the image then there is no missing piece to have to replace.
Some people are naturally more capable of certain things than others. It could be someone being good with numbers immediately from a good age.

I cannot fathom that you genueinely believe every single human being is as good as each other at everything and it's just down to the amount of work you put in. Absolutely ridiculous position.
It would be unprecedented for a board to act in this way without proper reflection and consultation of various stakeholders. It seems all much too sudden and even though Ilya is an important person he does not by his lonesome overrule everybody else who has a stake in OpenAI and even if he did it could have - and should have - been handled more gracefully.

If the board ended up acting rashly I expect the next thing to happen is that the board itself is exiled.
I mean, aren't they self appointed because they got there first?
Computer History books most relevant to today?
Yeah, the seed of this disaster was probably planted a long time ago, like when they created the hybrid, when they got money from MSFT.

Maybe Ilya doesn't want to be at the forefront of AI building I guess. He probably thinks he can lead it better by not being at the table.

Or who knows.
This may be the end of OpenAI. OpenAI’s big advantage over Google was in production using and making the research available commercially to the public. I think Sam Altman was a big part of that push for commercialization.

Now there is a good chance that the “true believers” in AGI have taken over who will want to focus on just trying to achieve that. There is a good chance that true AGI is decades or more away (if ever). Without a product to push, this pure research organization will produce a lot of really cool papers(maybe) but not much else. As the talent see that there are better economic prospects elsewhere, they will leave.
Every type in Go has a zero value. The zero value for pointers is nil. So you can't do it with regular pointers, because users can always create an instance of the zero value.
Probably application-specific. Satellite for ships, cellular for commercial trucks, radio for remote mining trucks.

There are also panic buttons for remote backpackers that collect gps coordinates and send them to a satellite. All things I wouldn't call satellite phones, even if they're basically just more rudimentary versions. Looks like the quote was referring to something else, though.
The ADL has been promoting reverse discrimination against whites for years. It's what Elon was referencing when he agreed with the tweet post. And how many times does Elon need to say that he abhors antisemitism, and all forms of racism?
By "understanding" he simply means it builds a model of higher order abstractions over the text in order to model the meaning and context of each token in relation to other tokens. This is more sophisticated than a Markov process.
I don't think anyone at OpenAI was planning to give mil-tech to Iran and Iranian proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
Doesn't have to be books -- just looking for any content that analyzes the history of computers and has a point of view about where the future of technology is headed
Does this mean the watermark can be removed if you strip out all inaudible content? I expect not

Employers can make provisions that you’re not allowed to moonlight in other positions. That’s distinct from non-competes, which are for your ability to change jobs entirely. The parent’s point is that tech CEOs are often permitted to work at multiple companies and engage in self-dealing in a way that’s prohibited for almost everyone else, including CEOs in other industries.
At certain phases. It will not have enough thrust to survive that at low speed/altitude.
But the CEO that was done under was not sufficiently candid with the board.. I think they realized they have some risk being only a technicality that does whatever the CEO and Microsoft tell them is aligned with their mission.
The ~Senakw~ Squamish Nation are literally my heroes. They are doing amazing things to push back on terrible reactionary planning in Vancouver that has made it unaffordable to entire generations of people, merely to satisfy a few people who want high property valuations and have an antisocial attitude of not wanting to see other people. Such people should simply choose to live somewhere other than a huge city, and should stop trying to prevent others from living as they wish to.
Depends on radio but FRS are now allowed up to 2W on lower/GMRS channels.
I guess it depends on what things you want to do, and how you define success, doesn't it?

If we're stuck with the definitions of success and excellence that are dominant right now, then, sure, someone like a Jobs or a Zuck or whatever, I see why people would be enamored with them.

But as an engineer I know I have different motivations than these people. And I think that's what people who make these kinds of arguments are drawing on.

There is a class of person whose success comes from finding creative and smart people and finding ways to exploit and direct them for their own ends. There's a genius in that, for sure. I am just not sure I want to celebrate it.

I just want to make things and help other people who make these things.

To put it another way, I'd take, say, Smalltalk over MacOS, if I have to make the choice.
On one hand people say stuff like "all AI generated content should be clearly marked".

But when you mark it they say "why u do that?"

You just can't win.
Thanks for that - indeed, I was using "fiduciary duty" in the context it's most frequently used - maximizing value accrued to stakeholders.

However, to nitpick your nitpick: for non-profits there might be no other party - just the mission. Imagine a non-profit whose mission is to preserve the history and practice of making 17th-century ivory cuff links. It's just the organisation and the mission; sometimes the mission is for the benefit of another party (or all of humanity).

Fair criticism about samples, launching new update and it'll have better samples. Also, you're welcome to download the trial—best way to see how it looks in your specific setup.

I don't agree with your take on flourishes (in better terms, artistry). Every typeface has it. The process of designing a typeface is full of subjectivity and artistry.
"Your father isn't trying"

fucking lol, the audacity
Once I took over a project that needed some SQL updates. Oh, and there was one issue in the issue tracker that needed looking at. How naive I was.

If I knew beforehand what it all would entail, I would never have taken over that project. Therefore I do feel lucky that I was so naive, it brought me many good things. Nowadays I easily see the scope of taking over a project and I hesitate a lot more doing that.
I'd think its more valuable than ever as a check against LLM's to see they're not completely off the rails.

If they cannot demonstrate the connections and base that Cyc has, then the training is probably gone wrong somewhere.
While we're at pedantry, English is a descriptivist language... I guarantee you that when I say "the wiki", approximately nobody thinks of Ward's.

> Xorg still doesn't really have support for non-RGB surfaces

You really need to add context to these statements, because _right now_ I am using through Xorg a program which uses a frigging colormap, which is as non-RGB as it gets. The entire reason Xlib has this "WhitePixel" and XGetPixel and XYPixmap and other useless functions which normally fetch a lot of ire is because it tries to go out of its way to support practically other-wordly color visuals and image formats. If anything, I'd say it is precisely RGB which has the most problems with X11, specially when you go more than 24bpp.

> there for attaching GPU buffers

None of this is about the GPU, but about about directly presenting images for _hardware_ composition using direct scan-out, hardware layers or not. Exactly what Xv is about, and the reason Xv supports formats like YUV.

> There isn't any incentive to implement this in X11 either because X11 is supposed to work over the network and none of this stuff would

As if that prevented any of the extensions done to X11 in the last three decades, including Xv.
Here we go again ...
But the money does expire, it is called inflation!

Mainstream economist think inflation is good and recommend 1-3% for a healty economy. And inflation is more practical to implement than putting date stamps on the back of bills like the original idea in the article.
There’s a whole business book about this, good to great, where a key facet of companies that have managed to go from average to excellent over a sustained period of time is servant-leader CEOs

Did you actually look at the license, or any of the history of Sentry?

It’s still just as “free” as it has been for years. If anything this makes our commitment to open source _more_ explicit than it was under the BUSL.

On your free-riding point, just because we leverage open source doesn’t mean our software must be as free and open as possible. We use Linux - should it mean everything we build must be Foss? It’s ok if you have a religion about this but thats simply not practical in all software.

Additionally many of us have and continue to give ample time and money to the ecosystem we rely on. I doubt anyone in the Python or Django communities would claim we’re free riders.

When we say free riding we mean other companies. We mean folks who don’t participate in the community and simply want to take work for their own gain while giving nothing back. The industry is not sustainable if that becomes the norm.
No. Knew the right people, had the right funds, and said and did and thought the things compatible with getting investment from people with even more influence than them.

Unless you're saying my only option is to pick and choose between different sets of people like that?
> whatever will come after transformers

I feel like this is a point that is not being talked about enough. Yes, OpenAI gave us GPT and DALL-E. But had sama and gdb remained there, would we have gotten anything new that is as groundbreaking as the original GPT and DALL-E, or would we have continued getting GPT-12 and DALL-E-19? Sure, iPhone 15 sells, but some may say Apple has stagnated since iPhone was released.
> can anyone explain to me what the actual value of San Altman is

Weird as it may seem: that's not all that important. What is important is that the rest of the world sees OpenAI as a mature and stable organization and that image has now been seriously damaged. Even if they wanted to fire Sam there must have been a dozen ways in which that could have been done more effectively and without this much damage to the OpenAI brand. It's almost comical, they were on track to outrun Google and Facebook combined and now they're on track to be an also-ran. You can expect a large number of resignations because no matter what you think of Sam Altman you want to work for a company that is mature and stable, not one where execs are replaced on a moments notice on a clear and sunny day without a direct and clear cause.
Even if the physics is well established, I believe you need people who have spent their 10,000 hours learning and practicing with it in order to make the best use of it.
That looks great!

I'm trying to do a similar thing but I'd like to be compatible with the existing Ansible tasks. Still trying to figure out the API, especially for cases like calling a playbook from playbook with some parameters.
I think the gist of the article is that they are detecting active transmitters, not the IF of receivers.
