tl;dr - TypeScript transformers are used to modify the AST before Javascript is emitted.

The magic functions library uses a transformer to take the TypeScript types and port them to JSON schema, such that they're available during runtime. This JSON schema is then used to validate that the response from the LLM matches the expected type signature of the function (and err if it doesn't).

Because TypeScript doesn't support 3rd party "transformers" by default, you're forced to hack around it (via ttypescript or ts-patch). This is especially problematic when TypeScript has a major version change, as the workarounds need to be modified accordingly; this often takes significant time.

Here's the long-lived Github issue: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/14419

And here's the newest proposal to add official support: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/54276

I am not American and have no idea what you are talking about.

Sam Altman channeled what was great research into a dominant $100b business in record time.

That is not trivial and not every CEO can do that.
Donors like that threaten to pull their money when you don’t behave. It’s why they donate. There is no such thing as a donation.
The computer accessories shelves at e.g. Target are still dominated by A. Two years after this article.
While this is an insightful perspective, it doesn't change the fact that the board is revealed as incompetent. Either they made a mistake in firing him and are now walking it back (while yielding so much leverage that Altman can condition his return on the resignation of everyone who voted to fire him), or they have such little credibility that some standard-practice media collusion has created sufficient pressure to change their optimal strategy, i.e. force their hand.

If they do nothing, then public perception harms their ability to raise further capital, and employees leave for Altman's new company. If they cave to the pressure (despite that being objectively the financially right decision), they lose their board seats and Sam comes back, proving they overplayed their hand when they fired him. They're basically in a lose/lose situation, even if this article is sourced from entirely biased and fabricated information. And that's exactly what reveals them as incompetent.

Their mistake was making a move while considering only the technicalities of their voting power, and ignoring the credibility they had to make it. Machiavelli is rolling in his grave...
attention layer: core of transformer, was invented outside of Google.

So is Chrome!

I have to wonder when Google will will start using the browser itself as leverage (beyond the upcoming Manifest V3 changes).
lol yeah, that’s what they said about cable tv.

Never heard about this before. Sources?

This. Some people even take it to the extreme and choose not to apologize for anything to look tough and smart.
Note that dungeon (the source port from the mainframe game that eventually became Zork) has been open sourced for much longer. At some point it was machine translated from F77 Fortran to C~90, and comprises some of the most terrifying code I have seen:

Even today, many disagree with Eratosthenes of Cyrene, who measured Earth's circumference within 2% accuracy back over 2200 years ago.

Einstein is also credited with saying that "Two things are infinite: The universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."
There is a difference between investing in a company who is developing ai software in a widely accessible way that improve everyone’s lives and a company that pursues software to put out of work entire sectors for the profit of a dozen of investors
USB-C was designed for highly-integrated mobile devices. Motherboard vendors don't want to deal with power delivery and DisplayPort, and users will be confused when that stuff doesn't work.

When a USB-C port is out in space, rather than flat on a desk, C-to-A adapters create a lever arm that increases the risk of damage. Though this can be solved by using adapters with ~100mm of wire in the middle.
I've been deeply "in tech" for 40 years, and never heard of Sam Altman until he was fired from OpenAI. "Tech" isn't one thing though, it's a very diverse thing with many different areas of interest. I'm not really that interested in AI, so no, I'm not going to care who the players are in that arena. My interests lie in other "tech".
I regularly get nag screens though.
Any why didn’t the board cite these violations?
I would never work with you. This is why investors have such a bad reputation. If I had not retained 100% ownership and control of my business, I am sure someone like you would have tossed me out by now.

Focus on results, not political games.
The argument is that Go is making a _wrong_ set of trade-offs.

It was designed, specifically, as per Rob Pike, for _bad_ developers. Developers who couldn't be productive at Google because they weren't properly taught at unis [0].

Then it caught momentum and then here we are, discussing a bad language designed for bad developers as if there is nothing better we can do with our lives.

I still have not encountered any issues with uBlock Origin on YouTube.

There's 3 hypotheses I have for why this is.

1. YouTube has been gradually rolling out the counter-blocking to an expanding number of randomly selected users.

2. YouTube doesn't bother blocking me because I've purchased a substantial amount of content from them. There's little benefit in discouraging me from buying more content in the future.

3. YouTube has done some analytics to figure out that I'm the kind of person who will never return if no ad blocking is allowed and doesn't trust them to keep ads out of Premium.

I don't suppose you've purchased shows or movies through YouTube?
> Dude, everyone already thinks the board did a crazy ill-advised thing.

I've honestly never had more hope for this industry than when it was apparent that Altman was pushed out by engineering for forgoing the mission to create world changing products in favor of the usual mindless cash grab.

The idea that people with a passion for technical excellence and true innovation might be able to steer OpenAI to do something amazing was almost unbelievable.

That's why I'm not too surprised to see that it probably won't really play out, and likely will end up in OpenAI turning even faster into yet another tech company worried exclusively with next quarters revenue.
Runs really well within a Docker container on my M1 Mac Mini with 3 2K (2560x1440p) Reolink cameras.

Paired with running Scrypted for HomeKit Secure Video (have also found using the RTSP streams rebroadcast from it to be more stable than having multiple sinks connected straight to the camera), and this makes a really good persistent NVR solution that I can also use to monitor remotely without necessarily VPN’ing back into my home network or exposing Frigate thru a separate reverse proxy.
My comment was phrased inappropriately.
most of the money likely wasnt paid, and is based on milestones and future returns. I imagine MSFT has some solid licensing bought with their initial payments.
Not one they own they don’t. OpenAI owns all of the GPT IP. Microsoft has a licensing arrangement with OpenAI. I’d note that azure GPT is not a custom model, only the bing chat is custom. And even the customizations aren’t owned by Microsoft.
I don't feel like compute for pretraining the model was a huge constraint?

The supply bottlenecks have been around commercializing the ChatGPT product at scale.

But pretraining the underlying model I don't think was on the same order of magnitude, right?
I’m skeptical they provide any value at all.

Many have lost trust in the WSPR data and Inmarsat pings. (Example: https://twitter.com/JustXAshton/status/1699535126663688544)

Your source conveniently omits weird data in the logs that start at 18:39:55UTC (a bunch of zeros, like something errored out).

Satellite pings switch to IOR at 15:59UTC and never change back to POR despite the plane flying east towards it. Going east until 17:21 UTC the plane should have pinged POR but doesn't

While obviously a brilliant scientist, sometimes I think Einstein set physics on the wrong path for 100 or so years.

The concept of the photon seems unnecessary and confusing to people, if not just plain wrong.

Lorentz ether theory seems like a better theory (or interpretation of the empirical data at least) than special relativity.

The last major contribution of Einstein is general relativity, which I suspect is incorrect too. (Obviously I can't offer a better theory though)
The board didn't claim there were violations, it claimed he wasn't fully candid with them and that they had lost confidence in his leadership. "Violations of the charter" was something invented by the upthread commenter.
Yeah that’s what I thought. This undefined ambiguous use of the word “safety” does real damage to the concept and things that are indeed dangerous and need to be made more safe.
Great video. The video suggests that people should be prepared to expect anything worthwhile to be seriously difficult, even painful.

It's difficult to keep working on something when you thought it would be easy but is actually hard.

The author of the original post seems like he thought coding would be easy and now is disillusioned because coding requires more than he expected.

To work through programming problems, it really helps to be curious and want to learn why something failed. If you don't understand why, you're clearly just changing things until they work. Programming is seriously punishing to those who try do things without understanding why.
This happens all the time. It's far more common for teams to succeed despite (or even in spite) of executive leadership.
Ask HN: Is there a better alternative Twitter interface than Nitter?
I prefer to read Twitter anonymously through a web browser. This apparently is no longer possible via the official twitter.com website. I've been using Nitter, but it's pretty unreliable. Sometimes it's down completely, but even when it's up, it's pretty slow and flaky: long page load times, images don't load, videos are slow.

Any suggestions for more reliable alternatives?

Almost every device I’ve bought in 2023 is usb-c now, even low end stuff, and keyboards and mice. By 2025 I’d expect it’ll be rare and unusual to see a micro port on any new device. USB A is definitely legacy.
uBO works for me, just requires a manual filter update once in a while. Though I like this approach in it's own way as it still costs advertisers but delivers no value to them, maybe something more like Ad Nauseum which would click the ads too.

People who aren't familiar with the Sokal affair may miss the critical point that word salad was the author's whole intent, to expose the problem.

'a demonstrative scholarly hoax performed by Alan Sokal...to test the journal's intellectual rigor, specifically to investigate whether "a leading North American journal of cultural studies...[would] publish an article liberally salted with nonsense if (a) it sounded good and (b) it flattered the editors' ideological preconceptions."

'The article, "Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity",[3] was published in the journal's spring/summer 1996 "Science Wars" issue. It proposed that quantum gravity is a social and linguistic construct. The journal did not practice academic peer review and it did not submit the article for outside expert review by a physicist.'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokal_affair

IMHO it is the most amazing academic comeuppance in history.

Edit: See the author's great book: Sokal, Alan; Bricmont, Jean (1998), Fashionable Nonsense: Postmodern Intellectuals' Abuse of Science (1st ed.), New York: Picador USA, ISBN 0-312-19545-1
Update on the OpenAI drama: Altman and the board had till 5pm to reach a truce where the board would resign and he and Brockman would return. The deadline has passed and mass resignations expected if a deal isn’t reached ASAP

These details are totally irrelevant to the argument and are part of the chart that’s floating around everywhere.

Of course it’s legal, the comment was that it shouldn’t be.
cable TV had ads from day 1.
The fact that our species is capable of doing stuff like this with math is the biggest gift handed to us by evolution.

That said, the thought that an asteroid passed between us and the moon is a stark reminder at how fragile we are. I hope I'll find photos of this on Google.

But if that asroid hit the earth, would've that marked the end of mathematics or does it just exist independent of our neurons?
this is sort of why henry ford left the company he founded before the ford we know, i think around 01902. his investors saw that they had a highly profitable luxury product on their hands and wanted to milk it for all it was worth, much like haynes, perhaps scaling up to build dozens of custom cars per year, like the pullman company but without needing railroads, and eventually moving downmarket from selling to racecar drivers and owners of large companies, to also selling to senior executives and rich car hobbyists, while everyday people continued to use horse-driven buggies. ford, by contrast, had in mind a radically egalitarian future that would reshape the entire industrial system, labor-capital relations, and ultimately every moment of day-to-day life

for better or worse, ford got his wish, and drove haynes out of the automobile business about 20 years later. if he'd agreed to spend day and night agonizing over how to get the custom paint job perfect on the car they were delivering to mr. rockefeller next month, that wouldn't have happened, and if fordism had happened at all, he wouldn't have been part of it. maybe france or japan would be the sole superpower today

probably more is at stake here
The CEO is part of the board, just like every other board member.
The 2nd and 3rd generation AppleTV “apps” were just web pages running on the WebKit engine. They were really responsive and better standardized.
There were many comments when Microsoft invested in for-profit subside, that they bought OpenAI. Now we will see if those comments were right.
Another example is Georges Lemaître[0] who "was the first to theorize that the recession of nearby galaxies can be explained by an expanding universe", as well as the Big Bang theory. These were not ideas Einstein favored, at least not at first.

Why should we be surprised people disagreed?

The fact that this happened so soon after Developer Day is a clear signal that the board wasn't happy with that direction.

Which is why every developer/partner including Microsoft is going to be watching this situation unfold with trepidation.

And I don't know how you can "keep the gravy track" when you want the company to move away from commercialisation.
OpenAI is not a public company but it does have a commercial arm and that commercial arm has shareholders and customers. You don't do damage to such a constellation without a really good reason (if only because minority shareholder lawsuits are a thing, and acting in a way that damages their interests tends to have bad consequences if they haven't been given the opportunity to lodge their objections). To date no reason has been given that stands up to scrutiny given the incredibly unexpected firing of Sam Altman. It is of course possible that such a reason exists but if they haven't made it public by now then my guess it that it was a powerplay much more than some kind of firing offense and given Sam's position it would take a grave error, something that damaged OpenAI's standing more than the firing itself to justify it.

Optics matter a lot, even for non-profits, especially for non-profits nominally above a for-profit. Check out their corporate org chart to see how it all hangs together and then it may make more sense:

https://openai.com/our-structure

Each of the boxes where the word 'investor' or 'employee' is present would have standing to sue if the OpenAI board of directors of the non-profit would act against their interests. That may not work out in the long run but in the short term that could be immensely distracting and it could even affect board members privately.
Absolutely. There are very few 100% self-taught experts in ANY field. Teachers and mentors are critical in helping you focus your efforts and prevent you from spinning your wheels.
One can simply "videoElement.addEventListener('ratechange', callback);" to be notified the ad was sped up.

I mean the client can then undo this, as it can any JS the page offers, but there's nothing harder about detecting playbackRate changes vs something which causes a DOM update.
If you're trying to elevate the discussion here, I recommend you stop being so aggressive and sarcastic when chastising someone for being playful

It's common and acceptable to refer to a nobody who's not shown their claim to fame in terms of another famous, impactful person who happens to be their spouse, sibling, etc.

Mass resignations from whom, I wonder. Other researchers?
The damage would be far more than reputational - Microsoft are starting to roll out “AI with everything” on most of their money-making products. That’s all provided by OpenAI, they can’t just pause for 6+ months and re-implement it with a new provider.

For the people saying it's fine for them, YouTube was blocking access but only doing it for certain accounts and only after you watched more than a few videos. My personal account was affected but not my work one.

I was using Firefox + uBlock Origin and the site would periodically stop working. Clearing cache and updating the uBO lists would fix it, but only temporarily. No idea if the situation has changed.

One alternative is pay for YT premium, but they still might target you with ads[1] which is risable. I've heard FreeTube is a thing as well.

Idioms exist and probably always will. I personally think they add a pleasant amount of variety and depth to communication, and sometimes even add deep nuance/context (even if I don't like every set of jargon or slang).

Even your "looking for" is a metaphor since you technically can't "look" for words (except as a metaphor for literally reading in a dictionary?) but we all know exactly what you mean. Moreover, if we trimmed language down to a minimal set and always used extremely precise meaning that might be an even worse experience than the "corporate speak" you're frustrated by.

Maybe you can redirect your anger to the part of corporate speak that I personally find annoying which is not the phrases per se but the propensity for using lots of words to say very little and to avoid directly taking responsibility for things. Let's put a pin in that one for now though and get something on the calendar to hash that out so we can get on the same page and circle back when we have a better bird's eye view on the action items and the right person to be decider :)

On the other hand you could take up loglan/lojban and maybe end up happier? Especially if it resulted in fewer meetings and managers.
I regularly wish my work MacBook Pro had a single A port. I understand my personal Air not having one—it’s lacking all ports but C—but it’s the one thing preventing my MBP from being as always-useful-entirely-on-its-own as the 2014 Pro I used to have.

Hm, it’s hard for me to say because most of my prompts would get me banned from OpenAI but I’ve gotten great results for specific tasks using finetuned quantized 30B models on my desktop and laptop.

What shocked me most was that Quora IMHO _sucks_ for what it is.

I couldn't think of a _worse_ model to guide the development and productization of AI technologies. I mean, StackOverflow is actually useful and its threatened by the existence of CoPilot, et al.

If the CEO of Quora was on my board, I'd be embarrassed to tell my friends.
