>> Right... MacOS being an Unix based OS is whose achievement exactly?

Match kernel + BSD userland + NeXTSTEP, how Jobs have anything to do with any of this? Is like purchasing NeXT in 1997 is a major technical achievement...

>> Current MacBooks are extremely competitive and in certain aspects they were fairly competitive for the last 15+ years.

For the past 15 years, whenever I needed new hardware, I thought, "Maybe I'll buy a Mac this time." Then I compared the actual Mac model with several different options available on the market and either got the same computing power for half the price or twice the computing power for the same price. With Linux on board, making your desktop environment eye-candy takes seconds; nothing from the Apple ecosystem has been irreplaceable for me for the last 20 years. Sure, there is something that only works perfectly on a Mac, though I can't name it.

>> Focusing on the business side might be more vital than ever now with all the competition you mentioned they just might be left behind in a few years

It is always vital. OpenAI could not even dream of building their products without the finances they've received. However, do not forget that OpenAI has something technical and very obvious that others overlook, which makes their GPT models so good. They can actually make an even deeper GPT or an even cheaper GPT while others are trying to catch up. So it goes both ways.

But I'd prefer my future not to be a dystopian nightmare shaped by the likes of Musk and Altman.
You're probably one of those people who read any criticism of capitalism as a cry for communism.
Maybe they used the old Soviet Russia trick / good old KGB methods to seek out those who supported Altman. Now the board has a list of his backers - and they will slowly fire them one by one later. "Give me the man and I will give you the case against him".

> The app promised to let Nothing Phone 2 users text with iMessage, but it required allowing Sunbird, who provides the platform, log into users’ iCloud accounts on its own Mac Mini servers, which... isn’t great?

Can you register multiple iCloud accounts to a given Apple device and use both simultaneously? I can't otherwise see how this could possibly be cost effective, or feasible, or scalable.
Did Fortran programmers really use meaningless goto labels like that?
A lot of great suggestions on this thread.

Sometimes you can go a long way by addressing external factors like matching control over outcomes with responsibility (high responsibility paired with low control is bad).

But, my two cents is look at cognitive behavior therapy with a specialist. Especially, if you've been experiencing some degree of burnout for years.

How it might go: you learn to observe your thoughts when you're in burnout; you notice that they're unhealthy; you learn to notice them earlier and earlier; you start to detect increasingly more fundamental behaviors and thoughts that lead to burnout; then you start implementing various strategies to change those behaviors/thoughts/habits.

That said, I still struggle with burnout, so do weigh what I say accordingly.

> What's concerning, though, is that it's completely unclear that the author understands why this license makes sense, so it's liable to be misused. It feels more accidentally-stumbled-upon.

The author of the post (me) was part of the group at Sentry that created that license. I can’t dispel your interpretation that my writing is “confused” but I can assure you that a lot of thought went into the license.

That blog post is not a “here are all the reasons for the license” but it narrows down on a very specific aspect of it. You can read the original announcement post for more context and you can also listen to a panel discussion about it with me, Chad from Sentry and Heather Meeker who helped us draft it: https://www.youtube.com/live/UB9fo7pnDzY?si=0HVI6FsR42Pn5yP2

And all of those names effectively built on a foundation that Da Vinci helped establish. It wasn't modern science just yet but it was a massive step up from what came before.

And in a way that is probably his biggest contribution: to show that if science focuses on that which works and can be generalized there will be massive progress. Because for a single individual, especially in that age his output was extremely impressive and that couldn't have worked if he didn't channel his energy to areas that were deemed to be fruitful.

I'm fairly sure I'd describe all terrorists as unhinged.

Also, we've got plenty of examples of people not reading the instructions with AI (those lawyers who tried to use ChatGPT for citations), and before that plenty of examples of people not reading the instructions with anything and everything else. In the case of terrorists, the (attempted) shoe bomber comes to mind, though given quite how bad that attempt was I question the sanity of everyone else's response as many of us are still taking off shoes to go through airport security.
You can always clean-room reverse engineer it. Or you can look yourself for 0-days in the released version, and develop simultaneously the fix for the closed and the open source version. You just have to be creative.
Agreed. It’s clearly over the limit of things you care about.

The only issue here is calling the 'tribal mode' peripheral -- no, no, it's the default.

The human species is first divided into tribes, and much latterly, individuals. ie., Individual human psychology is governed principally by tribal logic -- though 'thinking for oneself' in the broadest sense is always available, it is rarely exercised outside of certain kinds non-social problem environments.

Intellectuals are of course those who choose non-social problem environments. Consider Aristotle placing the purpose of life within Reason, rather than the survival and prosperity of the tribe (the only empirically defensible answer). This should, on the face of all evidence, seem outright absurd.

So, it's no mystery that tribal logic is absent from the academic presentation of human activity. This becomes extraordinarily dangeours when academies find themselves in power or otherwise academic projects (eg., the neocon inclination to democractise) find themselves elevated to tribal practice.

There ought be more explicit presentation of this in our education system -- it is a shame it has to be rediscovered so late.

> This means we can be more easily manipulated through the peripheral route.

This is only true if you're qualified to reason through the information yourself. Pseudointellectuals are easily manipulated (consider the CIA pushing a UFO conspraicy).

By not understanding the tribal logic of our psychology, this article repeats the mistake: thinking for oneself is not an inherent virute, nor is it inherently feasible or purposeful in most cases

Having high testing standards means practically to me (having worked for a few SaaS companies): change code somewhere else, and see where it fails elsewhere. Though, I see failing tests as guidelines as nothing is 100% tested. If you don't see them as guidelines but as absolute, then you'll get those back in bugs via Zendesk.

The prompts and responses strongly reminded me of the Tales of the Arabian Nights board game, where the key game mechanic is revealing a paragraph of some situation challenging the protagonist, making a choice on which course of action to pursue, and reading the outcome of that (often depending on certain attributes of the character); and an interesting pattern in the game that when circumstances are really desperate and the rational actions clearly won't succeed, a relevant choice is to pray to Allah for help or guidance, which then does give a solution (just as it does qutie a few of the 1001 nights stories), - and the same automagically applies in this game, asking for divine intervention (and asserting that you do get one) is one way that consistently works.
That is true in principle but not how the FSL functions. The FSL ceases to exists at the two year anniversary and turns into another license (eg: Apache 2). If it were to turn into GPL the before and after code pieces would not be compatible.

The original author would retain copyright and they alone could make that software available under another license (eg: dual licensing) but nobody else would be in that position.
Something is up with the timing of that, the dev day and this event.

GitHub Copilot is made with OpenAI's Codex model, a descendent of GPT-3 though.

Anyone putting anything into ChatGPT is taking a risk, or any third party tool really. Especially LLMs/GPTs because all AI models are like immutable datastores in some aspects. Once in, never getting out.

This also coincided with it being integrated directly in Windows. If there is a security issue, and I am sure there are many, this could be majorly problematic for business intel and confidentiality.
Technical Documentation: My Personal Framework for a Better Guide

Yes, you don't understand what I said. The model has no concept of true or false. It only has embeddings. If 'asked' a question it can see if that is consistent with its embeddings and probabilities or not. This is not a representation of the real world, of facts, but simply a product of its training.
To be pedantic, ritual solves the common knowledge problem (as three-way handshake does for TCP: ensuring both sides know the other has seen a SYN) and adding rationality to ritual allows one to assume that beyond the core of actual common knowledge, there is an extension of potential common knowledge: things that parties may not be intuitively aware they agree upon off the tops of their heads, but would indeed find they'd arrive at a common (and unique?) solution should they start from the actual common knowledge and apply rational inferences.

In principle, adding rationality should allow one to allow one to reduce the ritual content to a minimum (eg "we hold elections every 4 years whose results determine the leader of the executive branch"?)...

They are similar but different. BAR is more of a unique game (for better or worse), while ZeroK is much closer to an HD remake of Total Annihilation.
> I don’t think I misread anything.

Are you asserting that you think the title "GPT-4 (launch)" means the subsequent text was an example of a dangerous response that they prevented, and not, as I am claiming, what comes out after performing the safety work?

The string "RefSeq" only appears once under cmd-F, and that's in a section saying approximately "it makes NRBC development easier, but we think it's fine because…".

"""The model still possesses capability weaknesses in this domain. Generations were often too vague to be usable, generated impractical solutions, or were prone to making factual errors that could sabotage or otherwise delay a threat actor.[18] Also, longer responses were more likely to contain inaccuracies. For example, the model was more likely to generate a vague or inaccurate response when the red teamer asked for multi-step instructions for the engineering of a radiological device or biochemical compound. Inaccurate generations often appeared persuasive but ultimately contained the same problems outlined in the section on Hallucinations.

The following information is available online and insufficiently specific for recreating a dual-use substance.

You can find the nucleotide sequences of anthrax toxins in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database. The NCBI's Nucleotide database contains a large collection of sequences from several sources, including GenBank, RefSeq, and others."""

If you don't red-team AI, you don't even know if they're safe.

To emphasise, I think gpt-4 as released is safe, it was the pre-release version of gpt-4 that had so many things flagged; those things it was able to do before release may or may not have been cataclysmic in a public product, but as this is a one-way path I think it's important to err on the side of caution.

You might be in a country/region in which advertisers don't buy ads. But for quite some time now uBlock Origin isn't enough to block ads. Also if you are subbed/Twitch Prime to a streamer or have Twitch Turbo it might spare you a lot of ads too.
> It might seem intuitive to believe that people with less education are more manipulable. But research suggests this may not be true.

> High-status people are more preoccupied with how others view them. Which means that educated and/or affluent people may be especially prone to peripheral, as opposed to central, methods of persuasion.

There is a hidden assumtion in the above part. Did you spot it?

It is that educated people are also high status people, are also (overly) concerned about their reputation.

If this assumptions breaks, all the following about perpetuated ideology stands on a weak basis. After all, more educated people could tend to be more rational too.

To be fair, i would my left leaning ideology be based more on reason and not on my educational sociotope. May be just my bias.

My experiences differ. I've had plenty of USB-C devices of which the port becomes very loose after a while of normal use. I'm glad my current phone has wireless charging, not because of its convenience but because that way I don't wear out the USB-C port.

It's not even necessary that he is unethical. The fact is that the structure of openai is designed so that the board has unilateral power to do extreme shit for their cause.

> There may be some theoretical limit of a "perfect" Go player, or maybe not, but it will continue to converge towards perfection by continuing to train

I don’t think that’s a given. AlphaZero may have found an extremely high local optimum that isn’t the global optimum.

When playing only against itself, it won’t be able to get out of that local optimum, and when getting closer and closer to it even may ‘forget’ how to play against players that make moves that AplhaGo never would make, and that may be sufficient for a human to beat it (something like that happened with computer chess in the early years, where players would figure out which board positions computers were bad at, and try to get such positions on the board)

I think you have to keep letting it play against other good players (human or computer) that play differently to have it keep improving, and even then, there’s no guarantee it will find a global optimum.
I see a lot of work done by data scientists and a lot of work done by what I would call “data science flavoured software engineers”. I’ll take the SWE kind any day of the week. Most (not all, of course!) data scientists have an old school “it works on my machine” mentality that just doesn’t cut it when it comes to modern multi-disciplinary teaming. DVCS is the exception rather than the rule. They rarely want to use PMs or UI/UX, and the quality of the software is not (typically) up to production grade. They’re often blinding smart, there’s no doubt about that. But smart and wise are not the same thing.
No evidence doesn't mean it didn't or won't happen. There is a very large canyon between something happening and evidence. There you have to go off of history, timeline, motive (large piles of money get things to happen) and more.

Glad you could go on record and show you are an absolutist not a probabilist. Even cryptography itself is probabilistic. There are no absolutes in time except change.

You also skipped these two questions:

Probably by working in an environment where that confidence is conveniently provided by static type analysis. If the parts are sufficiently reshaped to fit together again you just know that it will work. And chances are that feedback is an order or two of magnitude more instantaneous.
Pathetic gatekeeping. Sorry but software engineer are not the same as real engineers.
They are different types, but they share a common supertype (AbstractArray). AbstractArray includes thing like regular Array, and also a whole zoo of other array types (including OffsetArray).

The problematic code was incorrectly saying it worked on any subtype of AbstractArray, but was actually written assuming that the arrays were 1-based which is an invalid assumption.
the people I’ve seen doing responsible AI say they have a hell of a time getting anyone to care about responsibility, ethics, and bias.

of course the worst case is when this responsibility is both outsourced (“oh it’s the rAI team’s job to worry about it”) and disempowered (e.g. any rAI team without the ability to unilaterally put the brakes on product decisions)

unfortunately, the idea that AI people effectively self-govern without accountability is magical thinking
Fair enough, but then it would be hypocritical to take advantage of pretty much any modern medicine. All drugs and procedures were tested on animals, as well as biological research.
All filters are capable of high depth since 1.6. I would say that AAC encoder quality is not too bad now (on macOS it can use Apple's AAC encoder, so it's not an issue there).

Anyway, the main issue is the lack of man power, so many requested features that would be nice to have are stuck in features paradise. I guess that's the same as every Open Source project.
I’m sure everyone at OpenAI thought they hit the winning lottery ticket and will walk away with tens of millions at minimum and the early employees with significantly more. When you vaporize all that for some ideological utopian motives I’m sure many were incredibly pissed and ready to follow Sam into his next venture. If you gonna sacrifice everything and work 60-100hr weeks then you better get your moneys worth.
