> You can't be "a little bit open source". You are or you aren't.

Of course you can. There are 10 bullet points on the OSD. If you meet 9 then it's 90% there. This is obvious better than 80%, which is better than 50%, which is better than 0%.

> Pretty much everyone I know in the industry uses the definition of "open" defined by the OSI, in relation to "open source"

OpenLinux, OpenDOS, OpenGL, OpenBSD, OpenStep, X/Open (later: Open Software Foundation, The Open Group), Common Open Software Environment, OpenVMS, etc. etc. Some of these are also "Open Source", some are not, and for some "Open Source" doesn't even make sense. But all of these usages of "Open" predate "Open Source", and I'm sure there are dozen more examples if I cared to look further. Oh, and here's Bill Joy using "Open Source Code" in 1985: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DdoGPav3fc&t=826s

The fact that HN has a discussion about "what Open source really means" demonstrates that NOT everyone has the same definition, otherwise these discussions wouldn't exist.

To lay claim on not just the phrase "Open Source" but the very adverb "Open" is not just historically incorrect but also hugely unreasonable.
There are a lot of people who want to get software built, but have no idea how to go about it.

I’ve been around for a while and I’ve got 10 years of networking under my belt. Someone knows someone who knows someone who needs something built, and my name comes up. When I was working full time, I turned down a lot of projects, but invited people to contact me at a later date. This worked in my favour as many of those people ended up contacting me again years later.

So just put yourself out there. Tell everyone you’re taking on random projects. Anything goes. It may lead somewhere.

For me it’s various things these days - static sites, small apps, ecommerce builds etc. Solo work, and perhaps not the most sexy or exciting. However, the flexibility is unparalleled. I pick my hours, location, and timezone. Most “remote-first” companies aren’t this flexible.

> Often I would lie to myself about being productive and then quit a tutorial after a few minutes and load up a game instead.

I struggled with this exact thing. For me personally I was able to focus better by dual-booting my machine so that my personal desktop/storage/workspace was distinct from my work stuff. Currently I have a work laptop I use on the same desk and I turn off my personal machine during the work day.
Doesn't mean you getting two jobs is wrong, though. You shouldn't feel bad if you do this.

Personally I'd rather have a chiller life than try to juggle two jobs without each one finding out about the other.

stupidly enough the contract that Sam has with OpenAI does not have a non-compete

Does it really matter? If the behavior appears to be in conflict with OpenAI, and the board doesn’t like it, then that’s enough to let him go. It doesn’t need to be a contract violation, he just wasn’t doing the job they wanted him to do.
> DALLE3 suffers a similar problem where it has trouble with concepts like "upside down" and consistently fails to apply them to generated images.

This has nothing to do with having "no body, no world" and everything to do with the fact that training pictures where things are upside down are simply vastly rarer that pictures where they aren't.

Does he personally "knows the problems blocking advancement more than anybody else"

Maybe he does, maybe doesn't, but that is a very bold statement.

I think an important part of maturing as a developer (and a human) is understanding that guidelines are always about maximizing certain qualities of something and that it's generally ok to choose not to focus on those things. Unless your customers are a captive population of some sort, generally we can all make whatever thing we want and let people who like it pick it up.

This whole episode gives the lie to this concept of building the company for the good of humanity. The real players here care about humanity about as much as Elon Musk does.

Why not? I thought that the illustrations fit the article better than the bland and irrelevant stock photos people usually use.

As an aside: I figure that in about 3-4 years, no one will be able to assert that they do or don’t like AI generated art because there won’t be any way to know if it’s man made, machine made, or reality.
Yup, this has been noted as a major contributing reason behind this mess.
We are the government. It's just people. The more rural and remote you get, the more this is true. There are countless volunteer search and rescue, firefighter, food distribution, etc in rural areas who volunteer to help because they want to improve and safeguard the community. This is the natural state of humanity, it just gets weird once you have enough people in one place that you need to make abstractions like 'government' instead of 'joe who has a snowmobile and does s&r for the town when needed'
Cool, I have a timeline to stop caring about Chrome. They aren't legitimate contributors to the Web anyway. All of their "enhancements" have been EEE'd business features.

Look into the formation of WHATWG and the tricks they pulled to usurp control and pretend to be a standards body. If anyone had any sense, WHATWG would've been resisted from the get-go because they are an industry-focused group and couldn't care less what's good for the Web or greater society.

I am not an expert, but I don't think that is the way it works. My guess is that the only reason that they could vote without Sam and Greg there is because they had a majority even if they were there. That means they had 4 votes, and that means all other board members voted against Sam and Greg.

It does not seem reasonable that only some members of a board could get together and vote things without others present. This would be chaos.

Not a lawyer, but I don’t think it is allowed to take a company intellectual property or research results and use these results for a side venture, without proper and timely disclosure. Even if there is no direct conflict of interests at the time when it happens.

Unless you specifically have a contract that allows you to avoid disclosures. Or have a specific agreement that transfers intellectual property or research results to you.

If you're working on a ton of side hustles on company time, that might well be part of what might make you worry that your employees might do the same unless you can find ways of keeping them on a tight enough leash.
Doctors are just one example and there are many reasons why a doctor may choose to practice in, say, the Boston area than in some 20,000 person town in North Dakota--though you're right than, in many cases, medical professionals have a pretty wide choice in where they live and work depending upon how choosy they are.

But a ton of STEM jobs do require access to labs and other facilities or may have requirements related to security clearances etc. A lot of skilled people can't just work from home and many others travel a lot even if they don't regularly come into an office.
Most Europeans citizens use euros so they won't get 'scammed' by euronet ARMs, as the only 'scam' there is currency conversion (and fees if you use an 'out of network bank', so I think if you are at Boa it should be fine)
No need. Ebikes are already highly commoditized and popular and available from many manufacturers.

There was no need for a time to subsidize the development of evokes not work hard to market them as a luxury good to try to get a foothold in the market, as with Tesla.

Ebikes are just a much more naturally highly valuable product and need less shilling. They sell themselves. I mean the amount of mobility and utility you get for the price is unmatchable by any other vehicle

Some of my old colleagues moved across the atlantic. We still keep in contact - one of whom I speak to daily. Have you tried contacting your friendly colleague or tried meeting up with them? 1.5h is not very far.
I can't say I've struggled with it--I've leaned into it and accepted it as how I get my own time. The quality of that time however is low since it comes at the end of the day. Sometimes I'll have a large meal, short but deep nap, then have quality late night time. The 'fix' seems to have come from being able to get by on fewer hours of sleep as I get older. Other times like around DST change, I'm able to get time at the beginning of the day, which if I plan or think of something doesn't merely go sleeping in while half-awake.
For viewing, cloudwatch is simply nowhere as convenient, writing whole custom queries takes a lot of time, and setting up altering for just the right thing sometimes requires you to copy the complex result as another metric. Basically I can create a time-shifted difference of two metrics reporting at different intervals, smooth it and make it alert the right teams through slack and pagerduty in a minute or so (while getting a visual feedback on the query the whole time) - this would take a significant amount of time to do through the plain AWS process.

It's a bit like "you can write everything you want in assembler without the overhead of extra layers of X". Yeah, sure, I can. But I appreciate the extra layers of X. I'll take the right cost/convenience balance, like an adult, thank you.

Different language ecosystems have different standards for backwards compatibility, with C (and e.g. Java) being incredibly conservative by modern standards. This is not a good or a bad thing per se, it's just something to consider when picking a tool for the task at hand.

> And at which point do people accept that this is the level at which plenty of humans operate?

I think you underestimate humans. One thing that humans (and many animals) are that LLMs aren’t, is goal-orientated.

We are capable of recognizing something we want and planning and executing a course of action to achieve it - this includes what we say; what we say is determined by our goals/objectives.

LLMs do nothing of the sort. All their output is based on their training data - i.e. the “choices” aren’t made by the LLM but by the generator of the original training data.
Can you explain why it would be unethical, if the contracts with those investors do not explicitly state there will be exclusivity?

Investors buy shares (or similar), and maybe some other rights or benefits with money. They do this with a contract, like any other business deal. There is nothing unethical that I can see about any action vis-a-vis the investors as long as the contracts are honoured (and the action is not otherwise unethical).

Directors and board members do have certain (e.g. fiduciary) duties which my require conflicts of interest to be disclosed and approved, but in the case of Musk and (it seems) at least this particular Sam, investors and others to whom they have this duties can be quite willing to make such approvals.

P.S. for what it's worth, not all companies forbid other work or side projects (I know this because we don't, unless you're planning on simultaneously working for a direct competitor).
Are they deporting immigrants (regardless of country of origin) involved in violent crimes? Genuine question.

I know rehabilitation is different in Europe than the US, but there are likely resource constraints for attempting to do so at scale looking at trailing immigration volume.

> They assumed I was gonna pay the clerk at the grocery store.
My assumption is that they're still using a remote backend for state, but they haven't set it up to use the locking features of the backend.

For example, I've use S3 as my Terraform backend for years, but I've never bothered to set up the locking feature, which uses DynamoDB.

In a small team that deploys Terraform changes rarely, you may never encounter the problems solved by using locking. Maybe good communication and a Slack channel works well enough for you.
I'm confused by your stance here, because it's like you aren't aware that the Falcon 9 rocket by SpaceX has launched 80 times this year so far, and 60 times last year, and those are all commercial launches with payloads.

Thats hardly what I would barely sending an empty rocket to orbit. Just because some new version is being tested using different technologies and methodologies of building and isn't fully functional doesn't indicate that we can't or don't regularly exceed what you say we're barely accomplishing as a people.
Exactly. This is just an example of valuing service (proximity, owners we sympathize with) over and above the product they carry. Nothing wrong with it.
> that the non-profit would eventually pay a lot of money

That's not a fact. It's your assumption.

And not a particular good one given that Microsoft is OpenAI's partner and is providing compute services at no cost.
You seem to be confusing “stakeholders” with “shareholders.”
Which part are you confused about? I like to have a lock on my door.
How do you stop the cycle of places in the long tail from becoming "go-to" destinations because they're in the long tail, having all the local flavour diluted from catering to the tourism, before being fully gentrified into identikit tourist traps, and being abandoned once they're "at the top" with their original local businesses gone, and trying to cater to the tourists who've all vanished? While those tourists are in search of the finding the next popularity-rising hotspot before the same thing happens to that?

Maybe "tourism" is the problem?
I think that’s an indirect consequence of tech companies being profitable and operating in a tight labour market.

I'll agree with all of 1–5, and elaborate on #2:

> Second, the companies paying these children are extracting value from their labor greater than what they are paying the child laborers.

This is always the case with employment, assuming that the employer isn't getting ripped off: when two parties make a voluntary trade, they're both getting something they value more than what they're trading away.

--

> In other words, this article, in my analysis, is an opportunity to study and question the system that creates the conditions such that there is a labor market comprising children who are available for exploitation for cheap labor by very rich Western companies.

I don't see anything that needs explaining here. Poverty is the default. For almost all of human history we were dirt poor. For almost all of agricultural history we were in a hungry, unpleasant Malthusian equilibrium.

The real miracle is that things are getting better. And a big part of why things are getting better is because it's possible for richer countries to 'exploit' cheap labor in poorer countries – and help them escape poverty by doing it. It's amusing how companies keep looking for cheap labor in different countries every few years, because the places that used to have the cheapest labor got wealthier because of those opportunities. I realize that not everybody shares my aesthetics, but personally I see this as beautiful, even if the ground-level details are a bit grungy.
