He's wrong. We do need an expert mode, at least to remove UAC in a simple way and allow us to mess around at will.

Let's see, UAC is nice for your grandmother who might click on something that it shouldn't, yet, we, advanced users are constantly annoyed by those cof,cof "security" features who get in the way when doing something.

Yet, your grandmother will eventually get ransomware or malware despite the UAC and other features, so, what's the point!??!

At the moment I just remember UAC, but there are plenty of features that we want to turn off with a simple button and we can't, unless we play around with the registry or 3rd party apps.

And this is why power users love Linux, we can do whatever we want, if we break it, it's fine and we can learn with it. At this rate, your computer will no longer be "your" computer, Microsoft will own it and you will like it.
He will likely be the CEO and the board will resign. Microsoft does not have direct influence but it has significant indirect influence and OpenAI won't be able to exist for long if Microsoft and the investors launch a combined attack on OpenAI. He shouldn't have bothered with the philanthropic BS if all he wanted was profit
There's more to this than simple supply and demand economics. People take into account significantly more factors than raw pay when deciding to pick a job (and especially when leaving one).

Working conditions are especially horrible in pretty much all the cases of "nobody wants to work anymore" that I have seen. Even if you paid me a good wage, I might not want to work at a terrible employer. It doesn't help that the terrible employers also usually pay below-market wages.
Putting aside your devaluation of the phrase "slave labor" by applying it to things that aren't slave labor, I'll just ask: what would you have these people do?

Should they take a 60% pay cut to do back-breaking labor at a construction site? Take a bigger pay cut to wash dishes at a restaurant? Or perhaps they could work long hours subsistence farming; that's a pretty common option in Pakistan, if the numbers I'm seeing are at all accurate. I know people who used to do this, and from what I hear it kind of sucks.

Taking distasteful options away from poor people because they might choose those options is one of my least-favorite forms of moral grandstanding, because it hurts people who already have it rough.
Well, currently cooking for 5 and if I shop in the produce department, getting fresh vegetables, etc, I'm paying a lot more than if I don't, or get some premade stuff with a higher shelf life.

Call me crazy, but I value 2 billion human lives above that of a few endangered bird species.
That was spot on 100% incorrect.
What's interesting about this is that if the CLA didn't exist I would entirely support this move. The AGPL is (imo) a better license for a keeping a hosted project public and Open, it's good for things being built on top of Matrix's server implementation to be openly licensed. And the company is right that the Apache 2 license would not prevent them from taking the code in a proprietary direction later; Apache 2 allows that.

But with a CLA, it becomes much easier for their code to move towards source-available.

The thing is, a GPL or AGPL license without a CLA would actually be a reasonable defense against closing down the software in the future, since it would block Element from being relicensed to something more restrictive without the permission of the copyright holders. Even if there is a legitimate need to sell exceptions, a CLA that gave the company a limited right to sell specific exceptions would be better than full copyright assignment and would actually increase my trust in the project rather than worrying me.
I'm not a tech nerd. I'm a lab biologist who just comments here. Multiple ports is my non-nerdy, non-rich use case.

My current car is almost 17 years old, and was bought used last year to replace the 20 year old car that I totaled. I certainly can't afford most cars with any USB ports, and wouldn't want them if I could.

Are car USB ports used for anything other than smart phones?
What does the US have to do with the article? Why is it a relevant country for comparison?
Yes, that critical. Sam and Greg hired Ilya among many other world class researchers to build AI. Their business execution was so successful that replacing them with another leadership team triggered panic to investors.
FWIW this publication is The New Yorker, not the New York Times, and the linked article didn't have any sort of paywall or preview feature when I clicked through.

I don't think trying again will bring you any joy, though, since none of the words samizdat, iron, curtain, soviet, nor USSR appear in the text.

Then accept that UTC is a timezone and just use that everywhere. There are also a lot of things that can’t be easily stored in UTC, like opening hours.
I think he’s lucky that apparently many OpenAI employees support him, as otherwise there would be less leverage over the board. Investors can threaten the board, but where would they go if the brainpower stays with OpenAI?

I believe the opposite, never heard of any hands-off investors calling themselves co-founders.

Arguably at least you'll have spent the same number of hours awake as, say, the person sleeping 1/4th more and dying 1/4th of his life later.

They very often are not able to deport. Because no country takes those people in. The laws are in place but there are few ethical options.

Same story for the border closing in Finland by the way. You are dealing with a deeply unethical state, so when you don't let them in, these people will have to die. Because the other side knows that you are more likely to give in out of ethical principle.
Yeah, people like you are the real victims, huh?
> most locals want to go to UK and the US to live

Absolutely not the impression I got when I lived there.
Though I think we should take note that the write programs for very narrow tasks that outperform humans may start seeing widening.

Things like object recognition have moved from "only humans can do this" to machines are keeping up with us. And I think that this is how it will be for at least some time. Instead of one big blast where ASI is better than humans at everything, more and more categories of narrow intelligence will widen and become superhuman.
All monotone functions can be represented as a tree of threshold gates (or, more extreme, as a tree of and & or gates-- themselves just the extreme cases for thresholds). But this doesn't result in useful way of counting the monotone functions due to duplicates.

A great many monotone functions have a very natural representation as a threshold gate or a simple composition of threshold gates-- like a majority of three majorities. But I wonder what monotone functions are the least threshold-like. Unfortunately I don't know of a useful way to ask the question because at the extreme they can all be constructed from threshold gates, so it's not useful e.g. to ask for monotone functions that can't be constructed from them.

A related question might be what are the N monotone functions that can be combined to most efficiently represent all monotone functions up to size M? Does the selection of these best basis functions change for different sizes? (or fall into a finite set of groups like odd and even M?).
Understandable.

Sorry, let's hope for a quick and just peace then.
Will you at least admit that this comment of yours, with quotes from the charter and thoughts about each quote, is contributing more to the conversation?
ok I've updated it to show that I mean "fatal" assault by firearms.

Quick google search brings up the following
"All in all, there were 77 incidents of detonated hand grenades in Sweden during the six-year observation period, in which nine individuals were injured and one killed."

is this what you are talking about? Doesn't sound that dramatic.

Seems like you are just trolling. Especially with the throwaway account, hard to take what you are saying seriously.
I hope he keeps that guest pass - it is going to become a collectors item in decades to come.
Some people may see the use of the word volunteering as virtue signaling, it depends on the audience. IMO, if you assist at the local blood bank during a donation drive after a disaster -- that's volunteering. If you are retired and/or rich and can afford to go do Antarctica to assist with research for three months as an essential role or not -- that's free labor.

A person living paycheck-to-paycheck may view the Antarctica opportunity as pompous, but environmental-club peers may view it as volunteering to save the planet and deserves a round of cheers with drinks in hand.
Depends on the nature of the work, though?

I assume you meant integrate instead of assimilate?

I definitely want immigrants to integrate in our society (and am prepared to do this when I travel into another country).
But I would not expect anyone to assimilate - which to my understanding means giving up their previous culture and take on the culture of the host country.
Did you also experience bomb attacks? Apparently, there were over 100 bomb attacks in Sweden this year. Our Eastern European country has twice the size of Sweden's population, and we had zero bombs going off, possibly since the 90s, as I don't remember any. Gun violence is really low here too, we barely remember any that made the news.

I'm sure that Sweden is a nice country to live in, I've visited it, seems great, but ignoring the crime wave is short-sighted, and I don't understand what “high standard” you're talking about.

> Some people might not see a difference between bias and fraud, but I personally do. I think of fraud as a very intentional deception, straight up falsifying numbers in a conscious attempt to deceive.

Lets say you do three runs of the same psychology experiment and only publish the results from the one where results are most significant. I think most researchers would not consider this fraud. You are publishing data that's absolutely true. It's the selective cherry picking of data in order to produce novel results that's rotting the field.

This is how I think researchers can sleep sound at night while faith in science continues to erode.
You can already kind of side load via test flight. I don’t really see any additional risk. It will add a lot of additional complications for apps that relied on side loading not being allowed as part of their security plan
My friend looks basically like an Iranian (very dark wavy hair and dark eyes, but somewhat pale skin), even though he is a Czech, and lives in Stockholm. He saw blond people harassed multiple times.

He says "I am quite lucky that the worst individuals consider me 'one of their own' and leave me alone. This means that I can take the metro without any precautions. But blonde girls that work with me started preferring safer commute to the office a long time ago."

Took maaaaaaany hours to for tech support to figure out why my $$$ 33.6k external modem worked sloooooooow. Often took them a lot of convincing that it was actually slow, a lot of early internet users had higher expectations, but I was coming from 2400bps service. Bazillions of failed packets reported in Windows Dial Up Networking.

Finally found the person that figured it out. Computer only had an 8250 UART for the serial port. $35 ISA serial port card with 16550A UART solved it!

>Why would I not believe that Meta or Google or anyone really come in or replace Microsoft?

Because they already do well on their own, Meta is doing exceptionally well actually.

It's better business for them if OpenAI just burns into the ground and leaves the cake up for grabs again. It doesn't take a lot of brain power to see that.

The only thing that has sent Google into "Code Red" in it's whole history has been OpenAI. They'd love to see it evaporate, and now they're not even spending a dime!

If you want even faster search across different formats, you can try ripgrep-all ( https://github.com/phiresky/ripgrep-all ). It can search across epub, docx, pdf, zip, mp4 etc. If you are handy with the tool, you can write custom adaptor to search across images using OCR with tesseract.
Ignore the speed comment; it is unrelated to my question.

As someone learning a language that's not my native one, people who correct my Chinese kindly are the absolute gold standard. People who correct it rudely are rare but still more helpful than people who say nothing and just move on. This is very common in language learning communities. My default assumption is that other people who are learning a language that I know natively probably feel similar, and would appreciate kind, contextual corrections. I am happy to adjust if someone lets me know they don't want that or if it's against the rules of a specific forum.

> For any system where lots of people pay in, and everyone shares the resources, the decisions on how the resources are distributed _must_ be made by something other than individuals in the group that need them.

Actually it might be nice if all such decisions were made by a panel of people from just such a group. Regular people may prioritize some classes of people over others, but are probably less likely to than an elite panel.

The following is a logical reasoning problem. Determine which answer, A,B,C, or D is correct

FXGB, HXIB, JXKB, _____, NXOB

A. OXPBB. B. KXMBC. C. LXLBD. D. LXMB

ChatGPT
The pattern in the sequence "FXGB, HXIB, JXKB, _____, NXOB" suggests an alternating increment in the letters surrounding "X".

Analyzing each component:

The first letter sequence: F, H, J, __, N

The pattern here is increasing by 2: F (+2) → H, H (+2) → J. Following this, J (+2) → L. So, the first letter of the missing term is L.
The third letter sequence: G, I, K, __, O

The pattern is the same as the first sequence: G (+2) → I, I (+2) → K. So, K (+2) → M. The third letter of the missing term is M.
The last letter sequence: B, B, B, __, B

The pattern is consistent: the letter B repeats. So, the last letter of the missing term is B.
Combining these, the missing term is LXM(B).

The answer is C. LXL(B)D.
