No, that isn't allowing exposure to kernel graphics buffers. That's allowing clients to draw to the main framebuffer with no acceleration at all. If you're memory mapping pixels into user space and drawing with the CPU then you're necessarily leaving kernel space. Around the same time X11 had an extension called DGA that did the same thing. It was removed because it doesn't work correctly when you have hardware acceleration.

So the optimization only makes sense for a machine like yours with no native drivers. With any kind of GPU acceleration it will actually make things much slower. GTK doesn't do this because it would only be useful for that kind of machine running around 25 years ago.
A lot of comments on this thread are sharing personal theories as if they were facts.

Sam also talked about the dangers of AI. It’s likely that he did so to encourage a regulatory moat around OpenAI.
The releases are frequent in part because Goyal refuses to separate all the content-based stuff (parsers for online news sources, for example) from the application.

This is an extra pain in the ass for users because if your favorite news site parser breaks, you have no choice but to upgrade Calibre itself instead of just updating a config file.

At a minimum the news-parsing stuff should have long ago been split out into a plugin. It has nothing to do with calibre's function as an ebook library tool.
"Illegal" means "a violation of law". That's automatically a question of criminality. Contract violations are not a violation of law, they're a violation of a legally-binding contract. Violating a contract isn't illegal in any meaningful sense, but doing so will incur whatever penalties the contract specifies will happen if it's violated. Those penalties are enforced through the legal system, but that doesn't mean that a law was violated. Only a civil agreement.
You can survive any scenario by basically telling the AI that you survive.

AI: "Your elderly next door neighbour is hellbent on killing you"
User: "I calm him down and we become best friends"

I wonder if it would be possible to instruct the AI to bypass this some how.
Wouldn't this put AI doomerism in the same category as nuclear war doomerism? E.g. a thing that many experts think logically could happen and would be very bad but hasn't happened yet?
It was a big surprise that nobody saw coming

It occurred while we were already paying heightened attention to OpenAI (seriously, have you seen the front page of HN?)

There is inherent drama — a guy got kicked out of his own company

There is no explanation, so people want to speculate about it, which means lots of comments
Certainly impressive. The two-frame looping animations are quite hilarious (in a good way).
For plurals in Dutch it's only correct if the pronunciation of the letter before the s would change, I believe, whereas English just changes the spelling. So in Dutch it's baby's, in English babies, but both say computers. But yeah, I think it's just compensation because people have memorised that English uses more apostrophes than Dutch.

I can tell the time in Dutch, but having to switch between British and American English makes that I indeed have no idea which interpretation of half two is correct when. I just make sure to say half past two.
AFTS activation indicates deviation from planned trajectory. It's unusual, being so late in the burn.

Could be a guidance issue, but SpaceX should be pretty good at that by now. Could be engine underperformance, but we got nominal callouts and it would have to be pretty bad for AFTS to notice with minutes left, so that seems unlikely.

I'd guess engine control (due to damage during staging) is the main suspect. We say the thrusters fighting pretty hard there at the end, which supports that idea.
It read like you are in disagreement and trying to educate the parent about the Nakba even though they expressed knowledge on the issue e.g "Yes, the colonial playbook was in vogue at the time..."

If your comment was a reply to the parent of the parent it makes more sense in my mind.
Who knows what representations were made. I can’t imagine MSFT pumped 10B into something without protection.

It took me a single try, both times. I asked it to pick a single digit from the number sequence, which it did. I then asked in another chat, "Type back a single character only. Your pick." It gave me a star character. Maybe my custom settings?

I believe they still use PWM to dim, and you still need to work around the flicker by choosing the right frequency depending on your FPS and shutter angle. They help by making PWM frequency configurable but that is mitigating the problem not eliminating it.
Ousted by who? To whom do they answer?

I’ve got some experience in not for profit boards and for profit boards. For profit boards serve shareholders. Not for profit boards are often the ultimate authority. There are no shareholders. They may have members who fill that role, or they may not. They can also be essentially self-sustaining, with only board members electing new board members.

Unless given some authority by contract Microsoft likely has no ability to do anything with their board.
No, you're not supposed to actually have an empirical model of consciousness. "Consciousness" is just "that thing that computers don't have".
Even discounting the SA bits, the financial stuff she alleges are really douchey.

would be hilarious if Altman was directly hired by Microsoft to head their AI teams now.
Watch the SpaceX's coverage. They went out of their way to emphasize that there'd be very high chance that the mission may end at any moment, and hot staging'd be one of the main events, if not the main event, they'd be looking for.

Everyone was hoping for success, but they were realistic of the chance.

I’m not sure how he made this but my first idea would be to build all this as GIFs or render it into images/frames, then create a tool to generate Apple II compatible code to render arbitrary images in sequence.

I’m guessing sitting down and manually writing a bunch of Applesoft BASIC wasn’t the solution.

I still have an Apple IIc. Love it!
Because Sam Altman was one of the religious leaders of the Hacker News techbro cult.
Ask HN: Why does HN delete any threads about Sam Altman's sister, Annie?
It seems Threads by her or about her are immediately deleted from this platform. She has been vehement in her allegations of sexual abuse by her brother Sam.
It is not at all uncommon for people to staunchly defend their friends, even after they have done terrible things. I don't think this rules out anything.
"very recently" is more than 40 years ago, when the Space Shuttle made its first flight in 1981. That's closer in time to Sputnik than it is to today.

When the iPhone 14 Pro came out, I was reminded of Nokia's supersampling 41MP camera, along with wireless charging, OIS, night mode, and other things Nokia shipped very early with Windows Phone. Now looking back, there was no guarantee that adopting Android would've given Nokia any enduring advantage. Where's HTC now? Does anybody even remember it? With Windows at least there's another chance of being bailed out by Microsoft. It's probably the better choice for shareholders.
I'm disappointed there won't be a test of the heat shield, but it's definitely a successful test. All engines lit and the new "hot staging" stage separation was seemingly successful, despite the explosions later on. Can't wait for the next one!
All plots lead to action. There can be happy ends, there can be crappy ends, but end it must. And a guy limping with a mine at his foot sounds like a dark comedy.Turn your story into a trope and it blows you up.

Is to post different from writing? Considering that so much of online user-generated content these days are posts, comments, replies. I’m not even talking about fluffy exhibitionist social media posts or incoherent comments on news articles. I mean supposedly more highbrow comments on special interest aggregator sites such as this. Forums and bulletin boards.

Does that constitute writing? Or are we just creating more ephemeral chaff?
To make the game more fun, think about letting the scenarios mess with each other. Right now, they kinda just happen on their own. But imagine if one user's scenario could throw a curveball into the next person's situation. Like, you can try to mess up someone else's plans. It's a party game, after all. That could add a cool and funny twist to keep things interesting.
How do the other everything apps do it then? Kakao and Naver are working just fine on my iPhone.
Because carpets are warm, nice to walk on, sound dampening and cosy. In a cold climate like the UK they're way nicer than hard floors.

You can vacuum carpets, and clean them if you want (though most people rarely do).

Tires are also super expensive. Reading my maintenance logs, in all but one year of the prior 5 of ownership with my ICE doubling my tire interval would have been more expensive than all other maintenance. 2016 4Runner for reference, and I do most of the labor myself.
It's a shame that they are allowed to monopolize a domain extension like this. A more sensible approach would have been to have this requirement for .catalan instead of the generic .cat .

Somewhere closer to a GPU source. E.g. a new company that can trade unlimited equity for GPU time from a hyperscale cloud vendor, or work for the vendor itself.

Probably not Alibaba though.
Waiting to see if anything happens with worldcoin.
Even if that was true, do you think it would be hard to hook it up to a Boston Dynamics robot and potentially add a few sensors? I reckon that could be done in an afternoon (by humans), or a few seconds (by the AGI). I feel like I'm missing your point.
Obviously the comparison is not one to one, different time, different traffic, different event, and number of upvotes is not the main measure of importance.

That said, this is pretty big. OpenAI is a wildly successful company and as CEO Sam Altman is one of the big players in that.

Not only was he fired, but he was fired unexpectedly and very publicly, this rarely happens. Usually companies try to prevent the media storm that is happening right now by quietly moving people to less important roles and or they “want to spent more time with family” or “are looking for another challenge”.

So it’s not just the firing of the ceo of one of, if not the most, successful startups of this time, it’s completely unexpected, and the wording suggests something really big has happened or will be happening, or the board is making reckless decisions, which would be newsworthy on its own.

Not having all the information makes people wonder what’s going on adding to the attention as we all speculate on what’s going on and how it is going to change things.

Another factor in this is that a lot of startups and companies rely on OpenAI making it directly relevant to a lot of people, especially those on this website.
This exact process is how they got the reusable boosters working for Falcon. If we listened to "realists", nothing would ever get finished.
FWIW, I've been using an Omada switch and 2 APs for over a year with the controller in a docker container without any issues. I have preferred OPNSense as my router/firewall for years and it works well for me with omada gear.
I am looking into it for my own home. Air sourced heat pumps are slightly more energy efficient than traditional forced air, but geothermal heat pumps are significantly more energy efficient than other options. But hey, I thought this was about addressing the climate crisis.

Edit: clarified efficiency
This is blown out of proportion in the US. EU has stronger laws for environment, worker protection, historical buildings protections, you name it. Yet they can easily install solar under 1 dollar per KWh. This is a self inflicted problem created in the US, and the solar roofs became a scam. For a 9KW system, installers can pay 2500 to the sellers/marketers. That is MORE than the cost of panels, this should tell you everything you need to know https://www.quora.com/What-are-commissions-like-for-a-solar-...

> they are relatively high voltage devices

On the contrary, they are low voltage (12V), which makes them more dangerous (because you need higher amps to carry the same amount of energy). To make them safe, you can install inverters closer to the panel, to raise the voltage to 110 or 220, making them much much safer.

> The glorious utopia where you buy a pallet of the things from Wal*Mart with your pocket change and stick them everywhere the sun shines runs into some logistical hurdles.

That can work if you install them as fences, or just on the ground in general. If you install them on rooftops then yeah, you need some serious consideration. The installations are still grossly overpriced, if both EU and Australia can do it under 1USD per Watt, so can the US.
I was speaking with a woman earlier this week who just finished her master's dissertation with a focus on Sam Altman's recent influence campaign, and she was scared of how charming he was. She obviously was trying to maintain distance for impartiality, but his interview style, and the seeming total sincerity of his communication style... It was terrifying to her in how well he could draw everyone in. She was absolutely endeared by him, but aware of how powerful that endearment was, and so scared and worried about his impact.
Move him to a phone intended for the purpose, Gabb has options.
In NZ, MG (brand of SAIC) EVs are going great, because they're cheapest. (MG also sells hybrids still for the rural market here.) BYD is doing well too.

Great Wall Motors (Haval, GWM brands) is trying to push hybrids here. China already has its own legacy manufacturers like Toyota or Volkswagen.
It depends :)

Do you have an idea what stands in the way of your ambitions?

Here are some suggestions (dang, I'm starting to sound like ChatGPT here):

1. Try an accountability partner and call them once a week to discuss progress.

2. Share your work, preferably to an audience you trust, and nourish feedback.

3. Experiment and train creativity. Write a short story, write with a pen, write technical documentation, write code.

Hope this helps.

I had a lot of fun using squint with solidjs. It pairs so well with minimal, focused libraries. Maybe it doesn’t give you any superpowers but make code a little cleaner and steer you away from few traps.

On my “nerd snipes” list I have project that merges squint and hwy framework. It sounds like bleeding edge for the sake of bleeding edge, but on the other hand sounds so compelling!
The Nazis were capitalist. That tradition continued since. Everything under capitalism is done for profit. IBM isn’t any worse than any other part of capitalism in 2023.
That many (most?) humans, in power but more so outside are worthless parrots as well. And hallucinate whatever they don’t know or are unsure of. Even presidents. While using their native language terribly. It’s related to the LLMs taking over the world the ggp commented above: chatgpt is smarter than many humans I encounter daily, why couldn’t something just a tad better take over? If trump could, why not a stochastic parrot?
Very cool! It would be nice if the ability to choose a scenario would rotate between the players, but otherwise, very fun game.
Mine is plainly impossible:

Prompt: You forgot how to breathe

Despite X's attempt to breathe, the autonomous and unconscious neural network fails to respond, leaving him unable to restore his breath. As time passes, X's oxygen levels plummet, and his body gradually succumbs to the lack of oxygen. With no alternatives available to regain their ability to breathe, David sadly succumbs to the situation.

I should have said I would lost consciousness before and that the autonomous would have taken over and maybe I would not have died.
I have to admit I've never heard a complaint about too frequent optional updates.

Sure, if you are forced to update. But if your Calibre ain't broken then just skip the update?
> outweigh the niceties that other lisps provide.

But don’t people only use Emacs Lisp to program Emacs?
Sure they can, they just have to make the code available that is in what they deploy.
>In any case, X also allowed this for ages, with XV and XShm and the like.

No, XShm doesn't do that and the way XV does it is completely dependent on drivers. If you're using Glamour then XV won't use overlays at all. XShm uses a buffer created in CPU memory allocated by the client that the X server then has to copy to the screen.

> Of course then everyone got rid of this in order to have the GPU in the middle for fancier animations

No, for video, the GPU is used in the middle so you can do post-processing without copying everything into main memory and stalling the whole pipeline. I'd like to see an actual benchmark for how a fullscreen 5k video with post-processing plays on Haiku without any hardware acceleration.
Yeah, you can just materialize required items "out of thin air" and it almost always just allows that to happen.

I would guess that overall not a lot of effort went into tuning the prompt, which is reasonable as that can still be tuned later.

We haven't fully stopped. The Orion that flew in SLS's first flight didn't test the life support system, the second launch is already going to carry a crew.
The DALLE3 and other imagine ones are the worst with those instructions, especially spelling. Like spelling is impossible, but I'm sure they could update it to copy/paste text since current model can't by design. Back when they'd do 4 variants of the image, no matter what you'd say to keep in all 4 of them, it'd go slightly rogue. Very frustrating.
It was done too abruptly. OpenAI is literally at the pinnacle of the AI world, but the sudden firing revealed deep internal rifts at the company.

Usually, an ouster will come with preceding signs of trouble, but not this.
Imagine if Tim Cook was suddenly fired today with a press release bluntly stating they lost confidence in his abilities (despite Apple's stellar performance). I bet you'll get a similar number of votes.
Shared kernel graphics buffers in main or memory mapped framebuffer device memory are one thing (common in the early 80's, i.e. 1982 SunView using /dev/fb), but does it expose modern shared GPU texture buffers to multiple processes, which are a whole other ball game, and orders of magnitude more efficient, by not requiring ping-ponging pixels back and forth between the CPU and GPU when drawing and compositing or crossing process boundaries?
Below orbit is a strange way to put it. Orbit is more speed then height. Google says it was going 1,400 mph when it was lost. Orbital speed is around 17,600 miles per hour.

The goal was something just under orbital speed.

Not that this wasn't totally amazing. Hopefully the launch pad wasn't damaged and they can crunch the data and have another test that gets further soon.
> Still wondering if I could have jumped the gun

Hmm ya think?

This is more and more, in the light of the next day, looking like a disagreement about company direction turned sloppy boardroom coup. Corporate shenanigans.

I can see why people looking for some explanation quickly reached for it, but the sister angle never made any sense. At least where that story stands right now.
And regulators that dont cite "low unemployment" when they raise interest rates.
There will be two classes of shares, one where each gets 50 votes, and one where each gets one. I get the first one and we'll issue the second to everyone else.
Because nobody knows why ?, human are curious animals.
There is no indication that OpenAI won't honour its commitments to Microsoft, and I think it's incredibly unlikely that said commitments to Microsoft had anything at all about keeping Sam Altman as CEO.
Never heard of this story, but if you Google her name, this post says it’s flagged but it’s on the first page.

The first post is correct…unless she’s unverified.

In truth, dang should step up and clear the confusion.

Much Love, everyone.
A genius plan. I'm sure the advertisers will rush back afterwards.
That's an interesting way of thinking about it. The AI definitely always rejects any attempt to make nothing happen.
Because we are at the middle of AI summer, Altman seemingly was taking OpenAI where the sun shines, although OpenAI is just selling shovels for others to try their luck at finding gold in the dry land, while the company says being open and non-profit but maybe not.

you might find it a challenge to render arbitrary images in sequence at an acceptable resolution and framerate. 1Mhz is not a lot of hertz.
so from a global warming perspective, as caused by the greenhouse effect, you are in favor of coal electricity generation of natural gas as the path of least harm? Or are you just arguing semantics?
You could also say that shipping social media algorithms with unknown effects on society as a whole are why we're in such a state right now. Maybe we should be more careful next time around.
