> However, note that the activities that people engage in during revenge bedtime procrastination aren’t necessarily enjoyable, and the procrastinator may engage with them simply out of a desire to feel in control.

These attempts are an instance of the neurotic paradox[1], and keep repeating themselves because the desire to feel in control is never completely fulfilled. A repetition compulsion happens when unresolved conflicts continue to generate attempts at solutions which do not really work ... until a genuine solution is found. [2]

To be precise despite the literal use of “what about” this isn’t really whataboutism.

Consider instead an American criticising PRC foreign policy and the Chinese person raising US foreign policy as a defence. It’s hardly likely that the respondent’s argument is that all forms of world government are wrong. These arguments are about hypocrisy and false equivalence.

In contrast, the person to whom you replied makes a good point that there are many businesses out there who should share responsibility for providing addictive content and many parents who are responsible for allowing their children to become addicted to it.
In the UK, this is common. As a hiring manager, I couldn't see the demographic information provided by candidates.

If a candidate didn't volunteer the info, I also didn't know. It made zero difference to whether a CV was passed to me.

But, after a hiring campaign had been run, it was possible to see the aggregate of that demographic data. That can be useful in finding out if fewer people of type X are applying for a role, or if statistically more of type Y get a role, etc.

If you showed up to interview wearing a religious garment, while visibly pregnant, dressed in your service uniform, and talked about your experience as a gay immigrant - I wouldn't be able to discriminate against you on those characteristics. But unless I was stupid enough to write that down in an email, it would be hard to prove.

In short, no, it doesn't reflect badly on you and it doesn't impact the hiring process.

Because without a long term plan you are just setting them up for a really hard fall. It is experimenting on people where if the experiment goes wrong you're high and dry in your mansion and they get to be pushed back into something probably worse than where they were before. It ties into the capitalist idea that money can solve all problems whereas in many cases these are healthcare and education issues first and foremost. You don't do that without really thinking through the possible consequences and to ensure that no matter what the outcome it is always going to be a net positive for the people that you decide to experiment on.

> I also wasn't aware that "unit" referred to an isolated test

It never did. "Unit test" in programming has always had the meaning it does now: it's a test of a unit of code.

But "unit test" was originally used in electronics, and the meaning in electronics was a bit closer to what the author suggests. The author is being a bit fanciful (aka lying) by excluding this context and pretending that we all don't really understand what Kent Beck et. al. were talking about.
> If your business model relies on no-one else using your software to compete with you, don't open-source the software.

I think this is the point of the FSL. Businesses with the business model you described can use it instead of open sourcing the software, and the terms switch to an open source licence only after two years.

SamA is nowhere even close to relevant to the value that OpenAI presents. He's def. less than half a billion and likely much less than that. What makes OpenAI so transformative is the technology it produces and SamA is not an engineer that built that technology. If the people that made it were to all leave it would reduce the value of the company by a large amount, but the technology would remain and it is not easy to duplicate given the scarcity of GPU cycles, the training data now being very hard to acquire and lots of other well invested companies chasing with the likes of Google, Meta, Anthropic. That doesn't even begin to mention the open source models that are also competing.

SamA could try and start his own new copy of OpenAI and I have no doubt raise a lot of money, but that new company if it just tried to reproduce what OpenAI has already done would be not worth very much. By the time they reproduce OpenAI and its competitors will have already moved on to bigger and better things.

Enough with the hero worship for SamA and all the other salesmen.

> The way formal logic works, and the way we think, talk and convince one another.. they are very far apart.

Strict logic is "pedantry", "JAQing off", Sea-lioning, "conspiratorial thinking", etc. I know of no social media platform where this is not true (based on replies and voting). And (seemingly) ironically, "scientific thinkers" are often particularly prone to the phenomenon.

> That doesn't mean we can't grasp logic. We can.

That which is physically possible is not necessarily metaphysically possible. People can use logic sometimes, but very often it is culturally (thus consciously) non-permissible, like during COVID[1], war time[2], etc.

I am not aware of any current or historical attempts to solve this problem, the scientific method being somewhat of a specialized exception.

Where did I say that? On the contrary, regulations are often needed to ensure free markets.
> Capitalism is the idea of the market regulating itself, no?

No, markets completely regulating themselves would be anarchism. Protecting your property rights and your contracts is a form of regulations in itself, that is the fundamental part of capitalism and is what enables large companies to form without military might.

Protecting property and contract rights encompasses many things, such as protecting your property from being taken from you via unfair means such as extortion etc. This necessitates limiting others property rights, others can't just build a wall around your property and force you to sell it for example.

> Regulation / Government is a mixed economy (Socialism) at best.

No, that is just regular capitalism. Socialism doesn't allow privately owned companies. Are you from USA? They misunderstand this part a lot, thinking that Europe isn't capitalist or something.
The entire justification of the existence of the license talks about the problem of the "harmful freeloaders".
I don't think you're seeing the whole picture if you think only about physical force.

People who are well off have more opportunities to start other ventures that make them even more well-off, and if they're especially powerful, they can use that influence to further their benefit. I don't think that's particularly controversial.

The board can easily back up their public claim. They don't.

Even the email to their own employees says it is a irreconcilable difference. Nothing about lying.

I don't think it is reasonable to go with "we don't know". It is more like: "it is crucial to back up your claim. Still, you don't.".
More likely they will track down the cause of the issue and implement a patch, rather than do something blockchain-centric. I'm all for multiple payment options; hopefully a bitcoin layer2 payment solution can co-exist alongside the legacy systems.
Indeed. However, I believe that we, as humans, have always been indifferent to those outside our immediate circle. Similarly, people often don't show concern for the homeless or those in inescapable servitude due to mortgages. Yet, there is a desire to increase the number of people in office, rather than converting more spaces into houses or apartments. I have observed on Hacker News that some individuals don't even rent places; instead, they keep those spaces closed to inflate prices. Despite the significant progress we've made from tribal times, our emotional evolution seems limited.
As mentioned elsewhere, I'd probably start with OAuth2.1 (not quite a standard but well on its way) as this updates the OAuth2 standard, as well as consolidates lots of improvements.

This is entirely false. If it were true, the actions of today would not have come to pass. My use of the word "division" is entirely in-line with use of that term at large. Here's the Wikipedia article, which as of this writing uses the same language I have. [1]

If you can't get the fundamentals right, I don't know how you can make the claims you're making credibly. Much like the board, you're making assertions that aren't credibly backed.

> Capitalism may appear to thrive when living in a first-world country, but only does so through exploitation and cutting corners

I think this is a common and really fundamental misunderstanding. It works through signalling demand through pricing, rather than through bureaucrats guessing, giving anyone the chance to take a risk and keep the reward (mostly) if they manage to create value for other people, rather than how much they toe the party line. It definitely doesn't only work "through exploitation and cutting corners". Those things happen everywhere.

Just look at the monumental change in China due to the controlled (too controlled[0]) introduction of capitalism. If you let people create value for each other and get out of their way, you get stupendous results compared to thinking a centralised bureaucracy, slave-owner, monarch, or lord making the decisions.

> No, some abstract 'informed exchange of currency' didn't magically cause things to appear out of thin air

No one would say it did.

> People make things, and they are almost certainly underpaid and overworked. Behind every AI model there are X poorly paid workers around the world that curated the data that it needs to function. Behind every piece of clothing there are Y poorly paid workers in Bangladesh that made it. And behind every rechargeable battery there are Z Congolese kids risking death inside a mine in search for cobalt.

This isn't a capitalism thing. This is a poverty thing. It's lifted unequally globally, but it is lifted. The problem isn't capitalism; the problem is that doing these jobs is currently their best option. Similar or worse conditions were found in Britain under 100 years ago[1]. That's a very short timeframe for capitalism to have lifted the entire world out of poverty; too silly to take seriously as a criticism of an economic process.

> We might try to (and often do) look away, pretend that those are the unfortunate results of corporate blunders that seldom happen, but they're not. Invisible exploitation is what makes the kind of lifestyle that is available in first-world countries possible.

No, not just that. If we replaced those miners with robots we'd still have the lifestyle. Framing everything as exploitation is a dead end.

This is such a niche case it's not really worth talking about, but the original devs still released it under GPL. The FSL is literally just the Apache license in this case. So you aren't arguing for the FSL, just that the original devs should have used Apache instead of GPL. That's just your opinion. If there was a version of the FSL that converted to GPL after two years, you'd have the exact same issue. The FSL portion of the licence is not relevant as no one was ever interested in releasing Xapian under a closed licence for a limited amount of time.

This isn't really a rebuttal to my wider point that FSL doesn't do anything you couldn't without it. There's nothing stopping you from just releasing old versions under a different license anyway, and no real reason to commit to doing so specifically for the next two years.

Widening Gender Gap in Life Expectancy in the US, 2010-2021
Wow, that's a lot to unpack! For my part, trusting experts can be risky. I can trust my doctor, but I can also question him about what he wants me to do. Unless he is willing to explain a treatment to my understanding, I'll seek out another opinion.

I can't pretend to understand everything, I need some experts for that, however I can gather information. Intellectual laziness from my side leads to heartbreaking dread if I didn't attempt to understand what an expert was saying.
Yes, and we're in agreement on that last part, see my other comments in the thread and in previous threads on the same subject.

In fact we are very much arguing that thing in the same way. But you do have to get the minutiae right because those are very important in this case. This board is about to - if they haven't already - find out where the real power is vested and it isn't with them. Which is kind of amusing because if you look at the people that make up that board some of them should have questioned their own ability to sit on this board based on qualifications (or lack thereof) alone.
MSF (Médecins sans Frontières) is in most jurisdictions an association, where the board is elected by and works for the association membership. In that case, a revolt from the associative body could fire the board.

OpenAI does not have an associative body, to my knowledge.
> but a much higher amount of methane

Err... no.

Natural gas is methane, to a good first approximation, but if your plant is emitting methane, it means your plant is not operating efficiently. Natural gas power plants burn methane, producing CO2 and water.

Edit: if you're talking about production leaks, coal mines emit methane, too, and there's not even a token amount of effort to stop it, nor any incentive to do so. With gas production, every cubic meter that leaks is a cubic meter you don't get to sell.

Edit #2:

https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2021-04/documents/fa...

Note that coal mines are currently the 5th largest methane emitters. However, that would certainly go up a lot if natural gas were replaced with coal.

The number 1 methane emitter, by a fair amount, is still "enteric fermentation" (i.e., farts and burps).

Not too that this table does not include all the naturally-produced methane resulting from the normal rotting of vegetation and non-domestic animal manure. I would almost bet that exceeds even the enteric fermentation.
> It’s a political vision of the future where the other ethnicity simply cease to exists

Hasn't Likud had/has an official policy of "between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty"? If at the beginning, it was mostly Arab residents in the areas where there is now mostly Israelis, doesn't that count as trying to eliminate another ethnicity, from those particular areas?

The political policy of Likud has resulted in multiple massacres, across a long period of time. Even if you wouldn't call it genocide personally, is it valuable to persecute people who would call it a genocide?
There are different types of SAs at AWS. There are the generalist SAs who I never worked with and the specialist SAs who have deep experience in a specific area of the industry - not just AWS.

And even they aren’t to be confused with “consultants”. SAs are free to customers and give general guidance and are not allowed to give the customers any code.

Consultants are full time employees at AWS who get paid by the customer to do hands on keyboard work. But even we couldn’t work in production environments. We did initial work and taught the customer how to maintain and enhance the work.

If you don’t know the cloud fundamentals, learning enough to pass a few multiple choice questions.

As an anecdote, I passed the first one - the Solution Architect Associate - before I ever opened the AWS console.
I'm pretty sure its because the servers that host the video are just dumb servers that will serve whatever is asked. The logic is in the player.

The problem with the GIMP team is not that they're enormously opinionated, but that they're WRONGLY opinionated.

It's not that they're the evil party, it's just that they should stop feeling so sorry for themselves that so few people want to use their image editor because of its terrible user interface caused by the fact that they refuse to listen to their users, and it has a terribly offensive name that they refuse to change.

At least they still have a fanatical following of MAGA incel edgelords and ESR sycophants who love it BECAUSE it has an offensive name, so they still have that hard core fanbase to appeal to.

They're as self-sabotaging as RMS himself, and they don't deserve to play the victim or to have a pity party, especially when they try to throw it for themselves.
