Consider the possibility that people who know a thing or two technology might still think AI brings a lot of good and that kneecapping AI isn't the right move at this time.
I don't have time to dive into the source code right now, but how did you implement the types of questions?

I had the idea (I'm not saying it's original, it's just what I thought at the time) of course lessons consisting of a series of questions, and each question is defined as a JSON object.

There are built-in question-templates like multiple choice, free-form answer, or just true/false.

If a course needs something really specific, then it can implement a custom renderer for that new template type, so that a course isn't held back by the upstream project. If it's a template that might be useful for more people, then it can be integrated into the core project.

No. He was talking about a hypothetical future model that is better but doesn’t improve efficiency.
Anybody have quick take on why this fork was needed? Since Xash3D was also for Half Life, why did they need to fork to Xash3D-FWGS.

Not complaining, just sometimes I think open source looses ground by having too many forks, which dilutes man-power on these efforts.

."Xash3D FWGS is a heavily modified fork of an original Xash3D Engine by Unkle Mike."
I got me a magic trackpad specifically because Apple's trackpads are so nice, and it allows me to pan/zoom large canvases in both dimensions (I've put it between the split halves of my keyboard, and sometimes use it with my left hand, while the right stays on the mouse). I've never considered panning/scrolling with one finger, it sounds very convenient. I guess this is something that could be hacked in software? Trackpads just send the coordinates of the touch points to the OS right?
> You are essentially asking the operating system to do the scheduling for you. But the OS will never be able to do it perfectly as it has no knowledge of what your application is doing.

From LMAX presentations, it looks like they want you to split your application into tasks [1], define a graph of task dependencies, have each core process a particular kind of task and have task processors communicate their producers via a ring buffer.

In particular, the allocation of tasks is static. The use of a ring buffer means that there is very little contention, and task processing is very efficient, but some cores might end up underutilized.

On the other hand, if you have a thread per request, and allow them to migrate between cores, idle cores can steal tasks from busy ones.
So in theory you could get better utilization, but task processing is less efficient since you need to share more data between cores.

("threads" don't need to be OS threads, they can be green threads)

That said, I am not sure if GP meant this by thread-per-request, or "legacy" applications that use a thread pool, or something else.

I really wonder if a dividing line started to emerge internally regarding the path to take the company.

[1] On one hand they serve Microsoft and developers, building digital AI infrastructure.

[2] On the other hand, they seem to try and want to build some monopoly and destroy as many startups (and companies) as possible.

In the last developer day, they did a half-ass job of both. GPTs suck. The OpenAI Assistants don't have enough documentation to be used and therefore, equally suck.

I really hope for the sake of the AI community (and economy) that [1] is the outcome. I really do not know how they could scale both. As an AI startup, I have a love-hate relationship with GPT and am eager to grow independent on them because how can I trust a company doing [2]?

OpenAI is supposedly “capped profit” so employees do get equity with limited upside.

But yeah, since Sam and Greg were apparently pushed out because they were building too good of a business any OpenAI employees that were aligned with them are likely to jump ship and join them, and OpenAI will revert to the non-profit research lab it started out as.
It does enable proxy shenanigans though, which is something to be mindful of:

I can be reasonably certain of what a reasonably complicated piece of logic is doing/capable of doing.

Comprehending a function using an object implementing a protocol, on the other hand, will end up requiring me to cross reference logic across 4 or more files before I can feel confident knowing what to expect: the protocol definition and/or the basic implementation, the calling context, the factory context that was responsible for creating the object, and the actual definition of the current object. All of which may be trivial, but you need to actually look at them all.

It's the difference between a breaker box and a house of light switches: the switches are all trivial (you hope), but you still hit the breaker when you need to be sure that you are going to be surprised.

1. Where are you going to build these? The neighbours will vote against you. Or you can build them in the middle of nowhere, meaning that they’re nowhere near any jobs.

2. This is appalling accommodation: no mains electricity, no heating, no running water, no sewerage. It is cheap, yes. People will assume that it’s part of a plan to _replace_ existing social housing, punish the working poor and generate tax cuts for the rich. (This is not your aim. But people are used to being misled by politicians and special interest groups. So many people assume the worst these days.)

3. If the state can get planning permission for this, why can’t the private sector get planning permission for higher quality housing?
Maybe Sam wants to build something for profit?
The problem is that you cannot finance the training of a competitive AI model and then turn around and give it all away for free.

It seems to me people’s expectations vary a lot.

For me ChatGPT has replaced a lot of Google searches and skimming stackoverflow just to get some details for a small obstacle in my workflow.

Even if answers are not a hundred percent correct all of the time, it saves so much time to get to “good enough”.

I use it to generate shell scripts, SQL queries and general boilerplate like configuration files.

A couple of days ago I went from “I’d like to have a local DNS server running to test one aspect of my code” to a running docker container of CoreDNS with the configuration I needed for my tests in a matter of minutes.
The same task would have taken forever had I googled for the information myself and stitched together snippets from the docs until it worked the way I wanted.

why is it crazy? the purpose of OpenAI is not to make investors rich - having investors on the board trying to make money for themselves would be crazy.
Or perhaps he's just a really exceptional person.

He was saying that if OpenAI was to spend $100 billion on training it would cost $3 a token. I think it's hyperbole, but basically what he is saying is that it's difficult for the company to grow because the tech is limited by the training costs
What's wrong with those quotes? My reading is that they force you to publicize source code if you're hosting modified versions of the services.
I don't know. The board statement, peeling away the pleasantries, says he lied to the board repeatedly. That's a very serious accusation. I don't know how US law works here, but in the UK you can sue and win over defamation for far milder infractions.
There is a wide variety of services available to people for specific use cases. When stack overflow came along, I used that for programming questions instead of google. But I still use google for most other searches.

I go to Amazon if I want to find a book or a specific product.

For the latest news, I come here, or Reddit, or sometimes twitter.

If I want to look up information about a famous person or topic, I go to Wikipedia (usually via google search). I know I can ask ChatGPT, but Wikipedia is generally more up to date, well-written and highly scrutinized by humans.

The jury’s still out on exactly what role ChatGPT will serve in the long term, but we’ve seen this kind of unbundling many times before and Google is still just as popular and useful as ever.

It seems like GPT’s killer app is helping guide your learning of a new topic, like having a personal tutor. I don’t see that replacing all aspects of a general purpose search engine though.
> Microsoft, which has invested billions in OpenAI, learned that OpenAI was ousting CEO Sam Altman

Microsoft, while a large investor (who has already reaped large rewards from that investment) explicitly has no governance role in any of the OpenAI entities, including the one at the very bottom of the stack of four that they are invested in, and this was a decision by the board governs the nonprofit at the top of the stack about personnel matters, so there is no reason to think that Microsoft would be notified in advance.
She has an h index of 8 :/ thats tiny for those that are unaware, in property much every field. AI papers are getting an infinite number of citations now a days because the field is exploding - just goes to show no one doing actual AI research cares about her work

Anyway, the idea that the Chinese military or leadership actually will sacrifice a potential advantage in the name of ai safety is absurd.
You have to, because people do not work for free ("each to the best of their ability, and taking according to their need") if they can freeload. The only way to get them to be productive members of society is either a carrot (the capitalist system, which offers an improved standard of life for those who work hard), or a stick (the communist system, which offers imprisonment or death if you do not work hard). That force is political in nature. You cannot have a communist system without it also being a dictatorship.

So I'd say that having a capitalist system is a requirement for also being a democracy. Moreover, the rapid fall of the fascist nations suggests that having a capitalist system is, in fact, also conducive to not having a dictatorship: economic freedom leads to people wanting political freedom as well.

The problem with capitalism is that people misunderstand it to mean that some billionaire owns 'everything' - whereas it really is YOUR freedom to choose how YOU lead your life. I'm all in favor of curbing predatory practices, but all too often 'taxing the rich' turns out to mean 'taxing the middle class'. The drive towards ever-heavier taxation, where tax rates only ever go up, and never down again, can only be fought by striving for more capitalism.

> Also my wife would not go for visible Ethernet run like that. I'd have to hire a contractor to do drywall work to have it done right.

Obviously this is always a cost issue (ie it’s subjective exactly how nice it has to look and what is acceptable to pay), but it’s far from impossible to run ethernet or fiber without breaking down walls.

The cheap version of this is having new covered cable channels running on top of existing baseboards and door trims. The more expensive version would be to either replace or carve out space in the boards to fit the cable, in that case you would never see it except when it exits the board to an outlet.

The verb form of "transition" is "transit." But there is no similar form of "function" (like "funct," for example).

many years ago an older relative went on a holiday to Spain and was outraged that their apartment did _not_ have carpet. I deemed it futile to point out that carpeting is desirable here because our climate is so wretched, but as flooring in a hot country would actually be pretty icky.
How well does that work on humans?
>Given how much money governments spend on nonsense, why can't we take some money, and build simple, but quality and stable shelter for people?

A better question is, given how much money governments spend on nonsense, why can't we take some money, and build actual housing for people? Surely a society that can produce semiconductors and fighter jets etc. is capable of assembling few thousand bricks/wood/whatever and build homes.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. If we had thousands of homeless shelters we might end up seeing people moving to shelters from actual houses that they can ill afford. Some could argue that evictions should be easier because worst case there would be shelters to go to. You will degrade housing for poor people instead of helping the destitute.

There's a dashboard where users can manage questions for each course. It's pretty basic right now:

- You can add multiple question.
- Each question can have some content, one image and multiple options users can select.
- Each option can have a title, an image and a feedback displayed to users when they select/confirm that option.

I want to add an option to import/export JSON. It's actually on the roadmap for v1:

- https://github.com/zoonk/uneebee/issues/41
- https://github.com/zoonk/uneebee/issues/40

In the future, I also want to implement some kind of plugin system because certain subjects require a different learning style. But I'm not sure yet how this would work. I need to think about it.
Because this is a valid line of J:

Appreciate you describing this as a PoC because in reality it's impossible to do <5us tick to trade in software including risk, deal booking, drop copy and a tonne of other components that go into a real-life trading system.

In fact, you can't guarantee 5us for anything, at least not on common operating systems. You would have to run your code with the interrupt flag cleared to prevent any IPIs or hrticks getting in the way. But that would be opening a scary can of worms.
> most of the reporting so far indicates that Ilya and the board fired Sam to prioritize safety and non profit objectives

Maybe Ilya discovered something as head of AI safety research, something bad, and they had to act on it. From the outside it looks as if they are desperately trying to gain control. Maybe he got confirmation that LLMs are a little bit conscious, LOL. No, I am not making this up: https://twitter.com/ilyasut/status/1491554478243258368
Isn’t the expectation that “prompt engineering” is going to become unnecessary as models continue to improve? Other models may be lagging behind GPT4 but not by much.
OpenAI is an absolute unicorn, and not in the bullshit-1-mrd-vc-money-dollar sense but in being truly outstanding. Since all they do is software, that is solely because of the people involved, being able to do things and doing things that other people won't and achieving things that other people don't.

When it comes to sports it's fairly obvious what outliers look like and well accepted that they exist. I don't see a single reason to believe, that the same would not be true in every other walk of life or thinking that OpenAI just got lucky (considering how many people are trying to get lucky right now with less success in this space).

There are extraordinarily effective people in this world, and they are sparse and it's probably not you or me (but that's completely fine with me, I am happy to stretch myself to the best of my abilities).
They probably mean diesel despite the picture chosen not making it obvious.

The burden of proof has already been met. The Bekenstein Bound already tells us that any finite volume contains finite information, and any finite system can therefore be perfectly reproduced by a finite state machine. The human brain and body are finite volumes, therefore they can be perfectly replicated by a finite state machine.

Unless you believe in some form of dualism, this reproduction necessarily includes sentience. Therefore, software can be sentient.

Probaly not a browser issue, looking at this line of the generated JS:

> var physics_scene = squint_core.atom(({ "gravity": [0, 0], "dt": (1 / 60), "balls": [], "obstacles": [], "flippers": [], "score": 0 }));

I think it run faster for any refresh rate higher than 60hz.

Changing the value from 60.0 to 120.0 in this line:

> :dt (/ 1.0 60.0) ;; slow down sim

and recompiling, makes it run correctly.

Right, that makes sense. I’m realizing now I just assumed conduits were the norm.
How did you inject the machine code into a running program on anything near a modern architecture? Unless you had your own OS, wouldn't code segments be RO and data segments not executable?

I don't know enough about any processor created in the last 30 years to know if running bare metal without a commercial OS would allow you to not have those constraints.
There is basically nothing correct in your statement.
Duolingo courses are no longer created by volunteers. They stopped the volunteer program in 2021 [1], right around the time they increased monetization efforts.

Sure, it would be seizure anywhere they have jurisdiction.

Which isn't anywhere outside NK, rendering that point moot.

The marginal cost of using spare capacity in home computers has risen significantly. It used to be the case that CPUs pretty much always used the same amount of power regardless of load, so filling those unused cycles with SETI@home et al. was essentially free. Now, whether the CPU is idling or running full bore makes a significant difference both in energy usage and in noise development. I would not want my desktop's fans to drone away while I'm trying to work.
