I'm not a parent but how bad is this social policing on letting your kid have a life outside? Are there actual laws against abuse that are weaponized in these situations or is it kind of a social stigma. Like I really really do not plan on over sheltering my kids unless forced to at gunpoint.
I said "an EC firmware hack is available for interchanging keyboards and batteries" for a reason. X220's keyboard works nearly perfectly on the X230 with this firmware hack and a slight hardware mod (insulating two LED power contact with masking tape). You can also bring your existing X220 monitors and batteries to the X230 during the upgrade.

> group of outstanding engineers to rebuild another AI company

openai was that backed by a nonprofit structure. and it still caused sam to be michael dell'ed/steve job'ed.

seems like the issue was with having a board/didnt have a majority on it. Zuckerberg having 53% voting power on the board is probably the greatest thing he managed. Anything sam does from now should follow the same.

/disclaimer - i have no idea how voting shares work.
Indeed, I’m blown away these numbers are so low. I know multiple senior software engineers at FAANG companies who make more than the software engineers on that list, and they contribute roughly nothing to society. I have zero qualms with Signal executives and employees being paid at that level.

> I think you’re changing subjects. Isn’t the context of this thread the need for engineers to be able to communicate with their managers/leaders?

The original claim was that engineers tend to have poor upwards communication skills, fueled by low understanding of management goals. My claim is that that situation is to be expected when so much information doesn't flow down.

> But you should be able to make a case for your proposal without that much context. What are values, risks, known, unknowns, costs, etc.

...And that case will often be deemed irrelevant to the company's goals, or incompatible with the company's challenges (lack of funding, staffing, etc).

Then you also pointed out that many managers can't spare the attention for some decisions they are asked to do. Maybe this kind of decision shouldn't have been pushed up in the first place? Stories of engineers ranting about having to climb 2 ranks to approve a $100 expense are pretty common, for instance.

actually is the opposite, it would democratize power at an unprecedented scale, that's why corporations are funding these NGO's (useful idiots)
Meh, they don't need to prove that much. It would be Altman that had to prove a lot, because the law favors defendant in this situation. To protect the speech, actually.

The problem is swapping LLMs can require rework of all your prompts, and you may be relying on specific features of OpenAI. If you don't then you are at a disadvantage or at least slowing down your work.

Oh, you mean because Bitcoin didn’t turn out as a stupidly-high risk speculation object without any value rooted in reality, wasting a sizeable portion of the power production of a world threatened by the climate crisis, swinging between orders of magnitude in valuation on Elon‘s whims?

Calling chatbots AI is definitely a bubble
While we can't know what a future with him remaining CEO would look like, what I do know is that I, along with many far more knowledgeable of language models, thought he was a lunatic for leaving YCombinator in 2020 to raise ludicrous amounts of money and devote it to training the world's most advanced autocomplete. Does that mean he still possesses seemingly prophetic insight into the future of generative models? I have no clue. All I know is that many knowledgeable people (and myself) vastly underestimated him before and we were dead wrong. Even if OpenAI's decision is wrong and he possesses such level of insight, it doesn't matter because it would mean he doesn't need them. If he's a one-trick pony whose vision for the future ends at 2023, then they made the right decision.

I didn't miss any part of your comment. The line you quote was as a reaction to the alternatives presented immediately after that part.

Because why would I sacrifice the advantages of semver for a minor convenience to the programmer of a sorting function?

> in practice the semver works 95% of the time

Which, based on nothing but my gut feeling, is a lot better than the 30% of the time any other versioning scheme works, where the only way to be reasonably sure that an update would not break my code was to diff the library (if the thing is open source), or read all the documentation, and pray to Zeus that it's complete and accurate.
What makes you say that?

Microsoft seems like one of the more reliable partners to build on compared to Google etc. just for the simple reason that their customers are large businesses and not breaking things for them is in their blood. Just like Windows backwards compatibility.
My concern is it I will run into the 50 per month limit. Are you running into that?

nearly as good as what openai provides. - do you mean what they provide for corporate clients?

(50 per 3-4 hours not 50 per month, sorry about that human error)
Hard to believe. Nobody is going around throwing billions without any hope of recouping any of it eventually (except the EU of course but giving any money to organizations which actually might be capable of building something useful is against their policy).
Definitely, just like with games development, the key is to master how things work, not specific APIs.

If the allegations concerning Sam are true then this could all be for damage control. It is in OpenAI's best interest that information isn't released to the public and it's in Sam's best interest to keep his mouth shut about it if the allegations are true. The timing and abruptness of everything is highly suspicious. Even Microsoft was out of the loop on this which again is very strange if this was just an issue over corporate strategy and vision.

1. There are plugins and web clients: https://www.passwordstore.org/#extensions

2. Of course pass has mobile version, and to my liking it looks and works much better than 1Password that I migrated from. (And to my liking as well Bitwarden looks much worse, if we would ever happen to talk about looks in a password manager, lol. Of course that is highly subjective.)

3. I have shared stored with my work mates. That is different hit repositories that has those text files encrypted with more than one gpg key, and it works so incredibly well. And is free, forever. We manage that with gopass (a fork written in Go), as it’s easier to work with for not-so-techies.
Honestly this is exciting. Are they going to be the first company to achieve a $1 Billion evaluation within 3 days? Would they file the incorporation papers on Monday meaning they get that valuation within 24 hours?
If you use enough to justify the cost, right?

I ran the numbers and it saves me a few hours a week on average, so it really pays for itself. If you don't use it then it doesn't make sense.
I actually wouldn't be worried in the short term for exactly this reason. Microsoft has legal access to GPT-4 and is allowed to host and serve it via Azure. If OpenAI somehow tanks its API in the near term, MS is sitting on a gold mine and will make use of that by continuing to serve it. In the long term I am worried, but less worried if Sam and Greg form a competing co to continue to build.
They are a non-profit specifically founded to build AI, not to become a profitable company and chase revenue
It's actually easier to enforce a noncompete in California on a founder or principal of a firm than it is on an employee. I don't recall the exact, legal specifics, but it has something to do with the fact that those people are in some way attached to the "goodwill" of the original business, which is something of value that the company can protect.

Someone else can probably say it better than I can, but that's how I understand it at this moment.

> The fruit is low-hanging

This is basically the only part of your post I disagree with, for reasons you pointed out yourself.

Low-hanging-fruit would imply that it is easy to displace these flawed languages with something better. And you have made a beautiful argument for why that is very very very difficult indeed.
While we're on conspiracy theories, Elon Musk would have more motives (they seem to not be in good acquaintances nowadays based on their Twitter profiles and he also has a competing LLM (Grok)), such a games of thrones petty revenge from him would be less surprising than from Google. But Ilya convincing the rest of the board seems much more realistic.
I may be in minority here but I tried using this thing for coding. It's horrible. Bootstrapping (barely) a basic API that even a scaffolding tool from 10 years ago can do is not something I would brag about. If you need anything more complicated that involves 1 or 2 if statements .. good luck.
As a developer, I'd pay $100 a month for it if they allow 32k+ contexts. At least half my code is now generated from prompts.
Personally, I don't have use case for comparing Google and ChatGPT that has truth as a requirement in the output.

For the majority of my use of ChatGPT and Google, I need to be able to get useful answers to vague questions - answers that I can confirm for myself through other means - and I need to iterate on those questions to hone in on the problem at hand. ChatGPT is undoubtedly superior to Google in that regard.

"Saying something without context" can also mean "not giving the context for what you're saying". If he has any extra information, he didn't share it, which makes it hard to take at face value. If it turned out that this take was extremely wrong, I can't imagine it would affect him at all (beyond maybe making another equally insignificant tweet), so it's not like he's staking his reputation on this or something.

If someone makes a claim without giving any evidence or potential consequences for being wrong, I think it's pretty safe to ignore until one of those things changes.

Not long ago people called Sam Bankman Fried a person of substance.
The recent revelations about Google paying 36% of revenue from iOS to Apple made me wonder if that had something to do with the browser-engine lockdown. I guess it depends on what the terms of the deal are and whether it depends on the user agents conveyed by the browsers.

Would it really have been so hard to find out Sam Altman just got fired without notice?
I am neither an US citizen nor British so I do not have any personal interest in this.

However I care deeply about historical truth and about remembering to whom we are indebted for the things we use every day.

In this case there is an indisputable temporal priority, as the term "Joule cycle" had already been in use for a long time before Brayton invented his engine.

Even if the priority would not have been so evident, between two people, one who has made some money by building and selling a thing and a second one, who has taught everybody how to build such things and why they should build them, I believe that the reasons to remember the second are much more important, even if it is not unusual for the American spirit to honor more the first.

The differences between 3.5 and 4 are substantial, at least for development (you didn't provide your use case). I'm using it everyday, all day. My IDE (cursor.sh) has a wrapper around the API. It's a game changer for me. I was able to launch my SaaS twice as fast, and the code is more reliable (I'm not a senior developer, while gpt4 gives senior solutions, most of the times)
I have a hierarchy of templates, where I can automatically swap out parts of the prompt based on which LLM I am using. And also have a set of benchmarking tests to compare relative performance. I treat LLMs like a commodity and keep switching between them to compare performance.

HALF-LIFE FREE CONFIRMED
FTX / crypto, which just imploded last year.

Look, I'm an AGI/AI researcher myself. I believe and bleed this stuff. AI is here to stay and is forever a part of computing in many ways. Sam Altman and others bastardized it by overhyping it to current levels, derailing real work. All the traction OpenAI has accumulated, outside of github copoilot / codex, is itself so far away from product-market fit that people are playing off the novelty of AGI / the GPT/AI being on its way to "smarter" than human rather than any real usage.

Hype in tech is real. Overhype and bubbles are real. In AI in particular, there's been AI winters because of the overhype.
People have been successfully building on MS APIs for four decades now. I've been for nearly three.

What exactly are you saying?
One funny detail is that the OpenAI charter states that, if this happens, they will stop their own work and help the organisation that is closest to achieving OpenAI's stated goal.
It's circumstances and opportunism.
We cant trust what we read. But last year's "Altman World Tour" where he met so many world leaders around the world felt a bit over the top, and maybe it got into his head

Isn't Microsoft famous for their insane API stability and backwards compatibility?
>They don’t need a salesman

I think you may be underestimating the value of someone brokering deals with mega-corps like Microsoft and managing to raise revenue and capital from various sources to finance the ongoing costs to stay at the top. Bear in mind that I'm not saying their decision was wrong. It's possible his forte is limited to building companies at early stages. Richard Branson was known for being better at building companies early on and indifferent to managing them as cash cows. It would also align with Altman's background with YCombinator.
What can you promise any other investors when you’ve already agree to give MS 75% all of your net income pretty much indefinitely and 49% of your shares?
I wonder how Americans generally deal with the increasing censorship of the youth's education, regardless of their political stances; do you teach your kids at home to counter the states' "gag orders"? I am curious because there are similar trends in other places, although perhaps not quite as severe or even more severe, depending on a place.

Pass is just text files encrypted with gpg. I needed just one password on one work computer, where I had my gpg key, but not all my passwords. Decrypted the file and that was it.

Honestly, I cannot get the longing to store your passwords with some company that claims it would be free and open source forever. What is free and open source by the way? Their client? What about their server they store your password? (I assume you can sync that to their server, I’m not their customer.)
Do you run into the limit of 50 per month? or is there a way to pay more to get more GPT-4? How exactly are you using it? (50 per 3-4 hour is the correct limit, still seem small)
> so it's possible that interests might not be aligned.

Tough luck, considering all the obligations they have to MS now.
It's a wonder. But if capex and opex are insane, and go up with every generation, the magic fades quickly.

Like, GitHub Copilot may be amazing, but if it looses money for every added user, if power users loose the company 4 or 8 times what they already pay, then maybe it's not an efficient use of compute resources.
The website has been in varying levels of "availability" for a few months now, but you can't start an account without the app, and the app is blocked in the EU.
I am either skeptical or envious of such claims. Someone coding so much would quickly be launched into meetings to communicate one's results and to coordinate with others.

It would be my life's dream to spend 80 hours per week coding without having to communicate with others... but no one is an island...
