Autocompletion is a red herring of a dismissal. Once you have a general purpose model, you can do many things with it, including next token prediction. And in that respect we are no different.
I've been using it for continuous recording of my cameras. It would be working flawlessly except for the piss poor firmware of my Reolink cameras firmware causing their rtsp server to choke.

I'm sorry but nearly all of them are along the lines of "I came from language X and in X we did it this way, but Go's syntax is different". That's not a footgun.

You know what's a footgun? Uncaught exceptions popping up in places far away from where they were created at which point you have very little context to deal with it robustly. Use after frees. FactoryFactoryFactories.
That's not exactly the aim of lossy compression. Its aim is to reduce data size while introducing as little discernible effect as realistically possible. That usually means optimizing the algorithm such that most of the loss is indiscernible to us, such as in a darkest regions of an image, or the extremely high frequencies in audio -- both areas we don't perceive with too much granularity. Something like spread-spectrum phase distortion may survive compression just fine but still be indiscernible to us. The two are not mutually exclusive.
Sure look at the chart in your link called people killed per year. That number was very low between 2014 and 2023 until the ceasefire was shatters by hamas this October
Good read but the claim Turning invented the computer prevented me from believing anything that followed. Did he help develop them? Yes, but he was not the sole or even first inventor.

If you operate in a zero-sum game, like most trading in financial markets, there is no way you can pretend you are contributing to society. There is literally nothing else but the money that could be the goal of the organization. This does not mean that all organizations make no contribution to society. Nobody works at MSF, for example, just for the money.
Because it is convenient being able to SSH to your trading machine and run standard Unix applications for deployments, normal start of day/end of day processing, diagnostics, profiling, etc. The overhead, during normal operations can be significantly reduced.
> He could likely have $500M-$10B+ lined up by next week to start up a new company and poach much of the talent from OpenAI.

Following the Jobs analogy, this could be another NeXT failure story. Teams are made by their players much more than by their leaders; competent leaders are a necessary but absolutely insufficient condition of success, and the likelihood that whatever he starts next reproduces the team conditions that made OpenAI in the first place are pretty slim IMO (while still being much larger than anyone else's).
It's also worth reading the examples you post

Like, one of the first files has only .unwraps in the comments (like a dozen of them in a file), some are infallible uses, some are irrelevant-to-runtime tooling, etc.

But anyway, "some" is a lot smaller than "all". Just like some of memory safety issues would also have happened since you can still use unsafe in Rust, yet it's still a big step forward in reducing those issues in the ugly real world
This is already possible…
> OpenAI’s biggest issue is that it has no moat.

This just isn't true. They have the users, the customers, Microsoft, the backing, the years ahead of most, and the good press. It's like saying Uber isn't worth anything because they don't own their cars and are just a middleman.

Maybe that now changes since they fired the face of the company, and the press and sentiment turns on them.

Other than getting paid without working for 6-24 months? Did I misread?
Ilya Sutskever, the head scientist at OpenAI, is allegedly who organized the 'shuffle.' So you're going to run into some issues expecting the top talent to follow Sam. And would many people want to get in on a new AI development company for big $$$ right now? From my perspective the market is teetering towards oversaturation, there are no moats, zero-interest rates are a thing of the past, and the path to profit is nebulous at best.
Yeah, that point is wrong in my opinion. I don't think programmers back then tried to build things to last any more than programmers today do.

You can easily train a model to clean watermark from images.
No, of course not, guilt and innocence is something that gets determined _after_ an accusation is investigated… in all other cases we presume the accuser is (or may be) telling the truth — “officer, that man stole my watch” should _always_ cause the officer to check if there was a watch and who is currently in possession of it, and if you had a watch and had reason to believe someone else stole it you’d expect exactly that — why not with people reporting sexual crimes?

The accused is still presumed innocent until proven guilty, but there’s no value in presuming the accuser is lying… doing so is just presuming the accuser is guilty of perjury / fraud before _they_ are proven guilty.
More likely it removes costs. This is very specifically an optimization.
>responsible board

The board was irresponsible and incompetent by design. There is one OpenAI board member who has an art degree and is part of some kind of cultish "singularity" spiritual/neo-religious thing. That individual has also never had a real job and is on the board of several other non-profits.

Novel as in "implements a new algorithm that has never seen in any form and is actually an improvement over existing methodology"?

Here is a little thought experiment: If all the training data in the set says that manned, powered flight is impossible, is a statistical prediction engine trained on that data capable of developing an airplane?

My best guess is that no, it cannot.

I think it's this type of rhetoric and thinking that young people are generally against. You malign an entire religion and call them violent. It's also hypocritical considering how many people the west has violently murdered.
They use a language called BrigthScript that’s closest to Visual Basic. It was originally intended for digital signage. A few years back they “improved” it with XML crap that you have to use to describe public methods of your objects(!) and stuff. It was better before (docs and examples for old and new style exist).

Notable quirks include the XML companion files for code interface descriptions (in the newer SDK, anyway), and single = doing double-duty as assignment and comparison.

[edit] oh but my understanding is that big players get a different SDK with the ability to e.g. use C libraries, which is how they’re able to look & work so much like they do on other platforms.

Perhaps this has improved, but when I tried it out a few months ago I found that the playback for continuous recording was extremely basic and didn't have features like easy-to-use variable speed scrub to make it practical to search for things. I might try it out again today because I would like to go to something that doesn't have to run on Windows, but my use case is more around continuous recording with around a month of history than event detection.

Space management for rolling retention is also a new feature in Frigate and very basic, I don't think it has a way to do different retention policies by camera group and alarm.
No, it will go up because the only constraint on land price is “how much value can you produce per square foot.”

AI, like the drill press or cotton gin, will increase how much value you can produce per square foot.

Landlords will reap the bulk of the benefit, we will still have people in completely destitute poverty and the bulk of people living roughly paycheck to paycheck.

It may also go up in relative terms, but yes it will go up in absolute terms too.

Very self evident: how is it that people paid for a place to live 1,000 years ago, and now there’s been all this technological productivity gains (several billion-fold?), and yet people still spend 30%+ of their productive output on a place to live?

They did define what they wanted; several incremental goals, not just one. You can watch the pre-launch video to hear it for yourself.

Years before Covid, my neighbor had an "opinion" that vaccines were unnecessary/dangerous, so she wouldn't get vaccinated. Just like you, she said "you have your opinion, and I have mine." In today's woke culture, that makes me the bad guy for not respecting her opinion, mansplaining, etc.

But opinions don't trump facts. At least, they shouldn't

Good for you. My point was that the 'story of America' is low tax and freedom. Low tax no longer seems to be true (or is it?) and freedom is debatable.
The US foreign policy establishment mostly bypasses the treaty ratification process nowadays because of the embarrassments that occur when they are not ratified. The number of signed, ratified, in-force treaties is probably much smaller than you think it is.

The treaty legal process in the US was honestly not very well thought out to start with - the Congressional oversight role as practiced is treated more like a rubber stamp procedurally. And of course, they are set aside when the establishment finds them inconvenient. It’s mostly settled law the executive can unilaterally terminate or suspend treaties.

This seems like the correct and fair implementation of non-competes broadly. If companies want leavers out of the market, they should be required to pay garden leave. People have to make a living, and it’s unreasonable to expect them to change geographies and/or professions to do so.

Land can expire. IIRC back in the late 60s and 70s Singapore had, and may still have, a law requiring purchased land to be developed within 7 years else the government would auction it off.

The same effect is why many economists believe that a bit of inflation is important (this argument is different from the widely held central bank theory that an inflation target of ~2% is better than 0)
Your last paragraph - yes! Many people haven't realized this yet.

She/he/it/them is an amazing programming tutor.
Interesting take, for folks who have played around with digital signal processing (DSP) and low bandwidth / noise tolerant digital signals can probably come up with a half dozen different ways to do this and have it both survive all encoding methodologies and all compression/decompression schemes (at least ones that strive to keep the audio "nearly identical" to the human ear)

It would not survive if you had an analysis package that could back compute the terms used by the model to generate the track and you re-generated the track with your own post processing, but that is a lot of work that most people would avoid.

It would be hilarious if someone built a model that you could query for it to tell you if there was subaudible information in the track and if so remove it (automating the above step to an AI task).

There have been projects that put subaudible tones in audio to trigger toys. So when you're watching a cartoon your toy would respond to the cartoon. Some people may, or may not, have considered doing something like that for muzak at businesses so that your phone OS could report back you had entered the business within a certain window of looking at an ad for that business.

So is your argument that Palestinians should have been fine with hundreds of their people being killed by Israelis every year from 2015-2022, because it was less than the thousands of Palestinians killed by Israelis in 2014?

And furthermore that none of those deaths gave justification for the 1200 Israelis killed by Palestinians this year, but those deaths somehow justify the 10,000 Palestinians killed by Israelis this year?

Steve Jobs ended up handsomely rewarded for his return to Apple well beyond whatever equity he held in NeXT. That’s the kind of ultimate compensation I’m talking about.

Yes, it’s a strategy that would/did require—among other chancey things—Altman to make a big bet on himself rather than OpenAI on him.

A trading system doesn't have a single hot spot that can be easily optimized. The critic paths can be hundreds of thousands of line of code.

There a lot of separate processes and subsystem that do not need to be absolutely latency optimal (or even at all), that are definitely amenable to be written on other languages. Of course when you already have a bunch of C++ programmes, things tend to end up being written in C++ even if it is not strictly necessary.
> Clogging up your WiFi spectrum with megabits of constant video seems like a terrible idea.

Yes, that's the thing I like about the Arlo system I have now: it has its own wifi network so, even if it's using spectrum, it's probably not affecting my LAN throughput.

> It's actually easier to run ethernet than power, especially outside.

This is true, but the house where I live already has power available everywhere I might need a camera. The thing I don't like about running new cables is the need to drill holes through exterior walls.

Also, going forward, will talent be drawn to OpenAI?

If I were be being aggressively courted for a position there, I would pause long and hard and wonder if the deep divisions this incident exposed and the inept way the firing was handled were emblematic of fundamental problems at the company.

Before yesterday, OpenAI was probably the most desirable and glamorous workplace in the world. Now, it hearkens back to post-Jobs Apple: ostensibly intact, but spiritually hollowed-out.
> to play the game of Go you can't just think of the next move. You have to think far forward in the game -- even though technically all it's doing is picking the next move, it is doing so using a model that has obviously looked forward more than just one move.

While I imagine alpha go does some brute force and some tree exploration, I think the main "intelligent" component of alpha go is the ability to recognize a "good" game state from a "bad" game state based on that moment in time, not any future plans or possibilities. That pattern recognition is all it has once its planning algorithm has reached the leaves of the trees. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I doubt alpha go has a neural net evaluating an entire tree of moves all at once to discover meta strategies like "the opponent focusing on this area" or "the opponent feeling on the back foot."

You can therefore imagine a pattern recognition algorithm so good that it is able to pick a move by only looking 1 move into the future, based solely on local stone densities and structures. Just play wherever improves the board state the most. It does not even need to "understand" that a game is being played.

> while on the surface, they may be just predicting the next word one after another, to do so effectively they have to be planning ahead.

So I don't think this statement is necessarily true. "Understanding" is a major achievement, but I don't think it requires planning. A computer can understand that 2+2=4 or where to play in tic-tac-toe without any "planning".

That said, there's probably not much special about the concept of planning either. If it's just simulating a tree of future possibilities and pruning it based on evaluation, then many algorithms have already achieved that.

SpaceX can reliably deliver payloads to orbit at much cheaper prices than anything before. The Moon program had its share of disasters, near-disasters and other failures (Apollo 1 burned with all its crew on the ground). Starship is a vehicle in development and will obviously have all sorts of bugs and edge cases to be worked out.
The idea that people need to be encouraged to consume (consumption being the opposite of saving) I don't think is supported by economic theory.
To clarify, crony capitalism is when "regulation" and "oversight" are euphemisms for thumb-on-the-scale rules that result in a less than level playing field. The winners? The cronies.

And back to my previous point about The Fed, etc. We're told that those are "for the greater good" (words) but - and to your point - the rich are not only getting riche (actions),the rate of that wealth transfer (to the top) is accelerating.

We can call it whatever you want. And I'm not saying I want anything. I was simply pointing out that the majority of those - at the top of the financial food chain (e.g., WS) - who advocate for "free markets" are full of shit. They're lying. So maybe to make you happy we shoukd just say: Less Bullshit Capitalism? Will that satisify you??
A big difference between a game like Go and writing text is that text is single player. I can write out the entire text, look at it and see where I made mistakes on the whole and edit those. I can't go back in a game of Go and change one of my moves that turned out to be a mistake.

So trying to make an AI that solves the entire problem before writing the first letter will likely not result in a good solution while also making it compute way too much since it solves the entire problem for every token generated. That is the kind of AI we know how to train so for now that is what we have to live with, but it isn't the kind of AI that would be efficient or smart.
