If the bazooka manufacturer only offers shooting rockets through an API where they can check the target before launching, they would be able to have some say about which targets are hit.

> Whoever ultimately owns the AI (or the Bazooka)

This is not the user in most cases. So a responsible AI can make sense. I believe you don't think AI can be dangerous, but some people do and from their point of view having a team for this makes sense.
USB-A has a straight forward top and bottom. Once you know this, you almost never connect it wrong.
Absolutely, the two on the front of my HAF 932 were the first things to break, in fact.

Funny enough, I've never seen a micro or C break :D
I constantly feel like nothing I do is ever going to work out. Even if I built something in the best way possible, the best that exists, it's not going to be enough to succeed. But even though I know 100% deep in my soul that everything I do is going to fail, I can't stop myself from trying. It does take a toll though. What helps me is to let off steam by complaining non-stop. I complain to my family members and strangers online. Unfortunately, my condition means that I can't see friends regularly because it's difficult for me to NOT complain for even 1 hour straight and most fellow westerners just can't handle that. Every deep conversation I have devolves into some horror story about the ills of society and how everything is rigged.
Eeeek, the mere thought of a Python will trigger their internalized homophobia!
It to mention I’d wager that Altman is a lot higher on the sociopathic scale as well. The board members sound like somewhat normalish people trying to stick to their charter and perhaps genuine belief in the missions. Altman, not so much.
Sand is largely composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2), which is a chemical compound. Each grain of sand is a tiny crystal composed of atoms of silicon and oxygen bonded together. These grains are formed by geological processes over long periods. While "sand" is a term for particle size rather than composition, its main constituent, especially in quartz sand, is indeed a chemical substance.
That's going to depend on the connector. Plenty have through-hole mounts. You can also get surface-mount type A connectors.
I click on the file and "open with handbrake" and press "convert". I can't imagine how anything night be faster.
gdb is easily one of the most intelligent engineers I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with.
Because every designer has a choice - build onboard A connectors and supply seperate A-C adaptors or build C-onboard and supply seperate C-A adapters.

The incentives are to make the motherboard at a price point and A connectors are going to be 1cent or less cheaper. This is probably true for the cable adaptors too.

But if I had to put money on one thing it's power - you can run a small laptop off USB-C which is where the whole thing shoukd be moving to - USB-C for everything power and data, but making every connector hook up to the 5.5V on the motherboard is awkward and marking just one is confusing.

It's not a great argument but my take is USB-C is only great when every connection is USB-C and if it's not great then why bother
Introductory CS courses (and engineering courses in general) can take a lot of time, especially if you are learning the material for the first time (which many people in the class probably are not!)

Many CS courses that I am familiar with (particularly systems courses and programming/project courses) can take something like 20 hours a week rather than the 5-10 that a regular undergraduate course might take. The best approach in my opinion is to not overload yourself when you are taking such a course - either pad your schedule with less time-intensive courses or take fewer units.

I'm actually in favor of handholding - particularly getting help from course assistants, attending practice sessions, attending office hours, etc. Individualized instruction can help a lot, and at a university you're paying for it regardless of whether you take advantage of it. Some schools even employ a small army of course helpers and section leaders (often selected from the previous cohort) to provide individualized instruction, and I think it really helps more students to succeed and have fun.

Self-study can be much harder than formal study because you may not have people like the course staff to help you out (though it's good if you can find someone!) Also you may not be able to cut back your workload outside of the course. On the up side, you can proceed at your own pace and don't have to worry about being left behind!

> CS50 at the same time and had challenged myself to finish the 12 week course within 4 weeks.

I'd recommend spending the full 12 weeks. This gives you more time to put in the effort and I think taking more time - and having more nights to sleep on the material - helps with retention.
>it'd be $30 rather than $3

I think this is the big one. Having only fast cables is already possible. Just toss out all your unknown and slower USB-C cables, and buy a bunch of known good 30$ Thunderbolt 4 cables to replace them all. You don't need to force manufacturers to do anything.

But I'm sure the majority of users don't care about USB 4 or Thunderbolt on all their cables. They've probably never used USB-C for mass data transfers, it's a charging cable, or maybe a USB 2.0 data rate devices like a Playstation controller or a headphones adapter now that 3.5mm jack is dead. Even most of the enthusiasts here probably don't care about spending an extra 5$ to upgrade their keyboard's USB-C cable to USB 3. It's just a waste of money.
>Very few people are actually in a situation where some burglar is in a position to ruin them to destitution. We aren't subsistence peasants, for whom the theft of a farm animal could have been the difference between life and starvation.

Don't about 60% of Americans live pay check to pay check? Though anecdotal what I tend to see while lurking is that HN is a bit of a bubble. There are plenty of people for whom the theft of their car, which they rely on completely because of the difficulty of living in many parts of the US without one can lead to financial ruin. And that is not mentioning the future potential of your life lost by any trauma associated with knowing your home is not safe and someone has broken into it, and potential income you will lose struggling with those thoughts or the anxiety of it.
You are arguing with straw man since no one in this thread argued to bad NDAs. To me personally NDA seems to be a reasonable concept while NCA is just a wage depression tool.
In my experience, it's best to accept these things come in waves.

For most of us, it's not realistic to maintain maximum creative energy for an extended period of time, just as it's not realistic to maintain maximum happiness for an extended period of time. Sometimes you'll feel sad, sometimes you'll feel tired, and, every now and then, you'll feel like you can take on the world.

For now, embrace the pain, let it wash over you, and trust that your energy will return again one day soon.
A lot of people ask me what the ideal bro-founder looks like. I now have an answer: Greg Bro-ckman.

OpenAI wouldn’t have happened without Greg. He commits quickly and fully to a fellow bro, and I fully trust that when the board of director dickheads fire me, Greg will dutifully bail within a day or two.
I'm not sure how that would translate into the real world.

For example, climate scientists are mostly united about anthropogenic climate change. But there is a huge dissenting crowd of pseudo-scientists - "noise". They sound convincing because they use big words and fancy graphs, and people believe them. And they're very good at arguing, because they're driven by religious levels of irrationality and fear.

Somehow, it's become much easier to sound like a scientist. There are pseudo-universities, and pseudo-qualifications. A doctorate doesn't seem to carry much weight any more. These people weave politics into the scientific numbers, and twist issues away from the hard-core science. And let's not even mention the conspiracy theorists...

How does one deal with that kind of insanity?
Oh apparently it was Schrodinger himself that wrote about a semiclassical Compton scattering approach:

- Avoid bright light after dinner

- Religiously take off the weekends

- Take several days off about six times a year (for example a long weekend, however to avoid crowds, sometimes take off during the workweek)

- And once a year for at least two weeks

- Don't do too much in the free time or have buffers of dolce far niente between work and busy free time
Did you mean conflated or inflated, I feel vaguely like it could go either way here
You are speaking from a position where the Moon landing is a proven, undisputed fact verified by everyone. In order for it to be that, it needs to be done again. Speaking plainly, it needs to be repeated in a reasonable enough timeframe, just like every other experiment done in history, in order for it to become a scientific fact.

Instead of admitting that logical conclusion, you are pulling a strawman on me. Our discussion is over.
it's very easy to build a still that appears to work but actually leaves you with a high-methanol end product.

Is it? I've always seen concern about methanol in moonshine but I presume it came from intentional contamination from evil bootleggers. It's difficult to get a wash containing enough methanol to meaningfully concentrate in the first place if you're making whiskey or rum. Maybe with fruit wine and hard cider there's a bit more.

The physics of distillation kind of have your back here too. The lower temperature fractions with acetone and methanol always come out first during distillation (the "heads") and every resource and distiller will tell you to learn the taste and smell, then throw them out. The taste and smell of heads are really distinctive. A slow distillation to more effectively concentrate methanol also makes it easier to separate out. But even if you don't separate the heads from the hearts, the methanol in any traditional wash is dilute enough that it'll only give you a headache.

I think it's extremely hard to build a still that appears to work but creates a high methanol end product.
You've posted some version of this at least half a dozen times now. Please stop.

usb-c is obtuse about hubs. you're not supposed to be able to daisy chain them, which is total crap, but also means that it's very limited in how you can just throw some extra ports around.
The term "temperature" has been used in machine learning for a long time and came from using it as a parameter during training, analogous to physical temperature in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_distribution.

But the relevant point is that we can reset the state of an LLM to its initial state before you asked it anything. This is a feature. You can choose to persist memory (through training, fine-tuning, databases, or context window), or you can choose to wipe it. If we could do the same for a human (eg, by going back in time), the person would behave the same way as the LLM. They wouldn't get annoyed that you asked the same question three times. They wouldn't know they've been asked before.
If possible, I would highly recommend going part-time. I wasn't close to burn-out, but my mental health and stress levels are much better since I made the switch. Worth it for that alone, even if it wasn't the best move for my career. In any case, I'd also recommend cutting down on unnecessary screentime and spending more time in real life - walking outside, talking to people, doing hobbies, and so on!
I think this is covered in my reply to shakow. Unless Rust is absolutely riddled with bugs, it’s obviously going to be hard to find uses of unwrap that are definitely bad. The point is that there’s no way to easily assure yourself that all the uses of unwrap are definitely good.

It would be similarly difficult to trawl through the source of the Go compiler and find definitely bad instances of pointer dereferencing. So does that mean that it’s not actually a problem in Go either?
I bought a new machine last week (Intel NUC 13 Extreme). It has three Type-C ports of which two are Thundebolt. We are slowly getting somewhere. Meanwhile my phones, displays, keyboards, all use Type-C connectors. Though some came with a USB-C to A converter.

We are slowly getting there.
> calling USB A “legacy” and a “relic” is so misplaced. we all still own USB A devices.

All my client devices have detachable cables. All my host devices are USB-C and have been for a while, except for a) Xbox, b) RPis, c) Car.

a) I rarely plug anything into it except a dedicated charging cable or the odd Xbox-specialized devices.

b) for which client devices (if any) are never unplugged

c) A cable is plugged in and never leaves the port

For general-use client devices I either swapped cables for USB-C to uUSB-A or USB-B or had USB-C OOTB for recent devices, increasingly so on both ends.

I also recently moved from an iPhone 7 to an iPhone 13 Mini. If it wasn't for Apple refusing to do an iPhone 15 Mini I'd be USB-C all around.

> I challenge the author to go find a wired keyboard or mouse that comes with a USB-C plug.

Accepted: I've had both for over a year: Keychron K2, Keychron M1. Logitech has a lot of devices with USB-C client side.

The irony is that one of them came with a USB-A (host side) to USB-C (client side) cable. The other one was C-C with a "upgrade your computer connector" C-A adapter†.

> Then in 5 years

Huh. I've been going all in on USB-C since 2018, my strategy being to pick the new standard through and through and backport/polyfill USB-C on the USB-A host side† as needed, NOT the other way around.

It's absolutely ridiculous that any off-the-self device today has anything else than a USB-C port client-side (which is where most of the mess actually is with all the mini x micro x hispeed x A x B x HDMI x DP connectors). I'm not throwing away any pre-C device or cable, I upgrade existing cables to be USB-C††. If a cable fails I get a C-whatever replacement.

As far as I'm concerned USB-A/B is a relic. Folks cling onto it like they clung to VGA (then, and now HDMI), floppy or optical drives.

I think YouTube runs as some kind of browser-based app on a lot of devices. Mainly due to fragmentation and development challenges but it also gives them a consistent environment to integrate custom codecs and DRM checks.

It's not really the same as a bazooka.
These companies usually release AI models, for which the training phase is arguably more important than the usage phase when it comes to ethics.
It would be like if the manufacturer pre-calibrated the bazooka for a certain target. Sure, whoever uses it after may still use it in another, unethical way but the point is there is already a bias.
It is important to consider ethical implications of the training materials used, especially when scraping the internet for material. Now, is a whole team needed? Maybe not, but you can't dismiss it that easily.
The metaphor I use to think about burnout is imagining your energy as a lithium ion battery. You can occasionally charge it to 100% and run it down to 0% without any real degradation, but if you start doing that every day it won't hold a useful charge after a while. Keep your charge between 20% and 80% if you can.

Also helps to maintain pretty firm limits on work time and not-work time, or even just having a small window of your waking day where you're on Do Not Disturb.

I think you hit the nail on the head with "dealing with missing out".

The vast majority of what happens is irrelevant and trying to keep up with, say, the latest tech drama, the latest framework, the scandal du jour, the currently popular TV show.. it feels important but it's not, and giving up is hard but not harmful.
Is Germany funding the oss projects as well? Traditionally they have this mindset of free open source software, with a strong emphasis on free, while not factoring in the cost of maintaining a project. When the usage gets higher there should be a plan for sustainable progress and maintenance.

There's 20-years old saga of linux vs windows battle in the Munich City Council [1]. Great case study.

Probably true, but only because the phone system is such a mess. We need to change the rules and ban any attempt to forward a call with changed callerid. If the phone number you forward isn’t the one that will make the phone on the desk that just called ring, it’s a minimum million dollar fine.

Next we need to look at fixing the everyone can call everyone else with no pre approval. Smartphones could easily check the number against a list of people you have called before or phones vetted to be at hospitals or schools.

I was just thinking the other day how strange it is that so many blindly defend capitalism but love open source. Those are inherently contradictory positions. Open source is inherently anti-capitalist.

Some years ago some large company (Microsoft?) came out and called open source a huge destroyer of wealth. They're correct, in the capitalist sense. But as we (largely tech people) know: open source allows us all to net benefit, which in turns creates opportunities.

Linux runs on billions of devices. This is collectivism in action.

By extension, proprietary software (as noted here) makes governments beholden to private companies. I fully support Germany (and other countris) in embracing open sourrce.

I thought it was the opposite— people yelling “science” about lockdowns. If you go outside, you are literally killing people.

Science isn’t monolithic and dissent is part of it. The world is complex — “science” shouldn’t be an authority.
I'm wondering how the employees can move to a company doing essentially the exact same thing without any violation of privileged information from their old jobs.

The only thing I can assume is that there's nothing particularly proprietary about anything OpenAI has done, its just an issue of scale. But if that's the case, it would make them not that valuable, as anyone willing to invest enough to reach that same scale using the same non proprietary techniques would be just as good.

I sometimes take a look at the logs, but nowadays there's a lot of noise from "security" companies that scan probably all IP addresses and all ports with known vulnerabilities. And they do it the lazy way. They just fire a bunch of URLs at each port that responds: long hexadecimal URLs, wordpress admin end-points, oauth end-points, etc. In the beginning, they even sent emails to tout their services.

We use one of them for ISO certification. Twice a year, we turn on their "vulnerability scanner", which says its test over x-thousand vulnerabilities, we get a report, and everybody is happy. Only on the first run did it discover a small error in the nginx config. Unfortunately, it is theater.

I’m not sure I’m conflating anything. A bit is a bit. Some bits are faster than others but it’s all just bits in the end.

Yes, compressed content can take up more bits when uncompressed. Also, compression can’t reduce size beyond what information is actually there without losing that information somehow. Just because we are not good at working with compressed content and require a lot of RAM to deal with raw/uncompressed data doesn’t mean it’s not wasteful or even that it’s the only way to do it.

I’m glad you agree we have come a long way too. Perhaps as we collectively go further, we will find ways of accomplishing even more with fewer resources.
