You’re thinking short term, applying safety to todays LLMs. No one is claiming todays tech poses and existential threat.

Others are looking at the trajectory and thinking about the future, where safety does start to become important.
Contrived and not a great idea in the slightest in an urban setting when you're not visibly an emergancy vehicles and not running lights and sirens.

Also stupid in the sense that not even EMT vehicles do this - they run at speeds that keep the patient alive (ie. stable vehicle, no rocking and rolling) and ..

FIRST!! You stop the bleeding. Clamp, strap, tourniquet, whatever.

Because the bigger connector, if it's attached at its corners or throughout the length, can phisically better withstand the shearing physical forces applied to it.

Te author is… delusional at best. USB has multiple standards that use the “a” type port. And many peripherals exist that are primarily “a” and not “c”.
Apple is on the usb-c track because the eu is forcing them to conform to such.
It does make me think that one of the problems with Britain is a lack of proper checks and balances: the notion of parliamentary sovereignty kind-of implies that judges can't really overrule problematic laws. While the US system isn't perfect, at least it limits the blast radius of any would-be autocrats.
You mean the latter, but yeah. Financing like that is doled out based on a number of things; it would be wildly irresponsible to do otherwise for reasons exactly like this.
One of the first bits of analytics I put on any webserver is to count all unhandled urls. As others here say things like WordPress admin page request probing are classic but I remember one of the Django designers pointing out that sometimes legitimate looking requests are actually a form of suggestion. That used to be a lot more true when people would try to play with urls to get to what they wanted.

Relatedly if you work in a field where your products become known as a useful benchmark you will find prototypes start showing up long before any public disclosure. We used to use this to be able to anticipate new screen resolutions and evaluate new GPUs and SoCs before being told about them.

That's more a technicality of the carrier. There's nothing lost in the value, you just have to replace them with newer version. Any sane country would do this if old bills turn out to be easily forged.

Benjamin Franklin would take a reverse outline of an article he liked, and use it (after a few days) to compose his own version of the article, after which he'd compare them side-by-side in order to see where he might improve his own writing.
The only website with a similar goal that comes to mind is the "build the enterprise" project that sadly got not much traction. [1]

I would love seeing this as something like a crowdfunding and discovery website where people can share knowledge and help non profits to build space tech.

No, that's not it; relationships play gigantic roles in large deals.

Besides, even if you had an outstanding contract for $10bn, a judge would not pull a "well technically, you did say <X> even though that's absurd, so they get all the money and you get nothing."
I have a reolink E1 hooked to my Homeassistant, the rstp stream seems to crash from time to time. I had never heard of neolink, would it help on this case?
The dust still hasn’t settled yet, but from following the discussions and learning more about the board of OpenAI… just… wow.

What stood out:

1. The whole non-profit vs for-profit is like a recipe for problems. Taking billions in investor money, hyper scaling to hundred-millions of users, and partnering with a $1T tech company… you’re already too late to reverse course and say “I changed my mind”.

2. Seeing who runs the OpenAI board is more shocking than the man behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz. That was really never an issue to partners or investors before? Wow…

3. If OpenAI continues down the “we’re a business / startup” path, their board just shot all their leadership credibility with investors and other potential cloud partners. The one thing people with money and corporate finance offices hate is surprises.

4. You don’t pull a corporate “Pearl Harbor” like this and just blissfully move along without consequences. With such a polarizing move, there’s going to be a fight.

> an invention of risk departments at modern corporations.

No, it's an invention of an industrialized society that, for the most part, has material goods in relative abundance.

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.

Violence, inflicted either by you, or at you, on the other hand, can very well be the difference between life and ruin, and it's baffling how so many people seem to treat the use of deadly force as if its some kind of video game, or Stephen Seagal flick.
In my experience, it's entirely manufacturer-dependent. Comparing Apple, Dell and Lenovo, the Dell and the Apple machines (MacBook Pros and XPS 13) have had no problems. Both feel as good as the day they were purchased. The Lenovo (ThinkPad P14s/x280) had connectors falling out after around six months - which is particularly annoying given that they charge over USB C. Overall, I've been massively disappointed by the build quality of the more recent ThinkPads, especially since they get a lot of individuals espousing their benefits here, especially over the MacBooks.
>That's likely to be the exact reason why the reliability specs don't line up with reality: your test jigs are almost certainly going to be inserting the plugs directly with exact precision, whereas in practice people are going to just "jam it in" and apply significant side-loads as well as misalignment and levering forces.

as someone who was involved with endurance/reliability testing of other physical products, I think you'd be surprised.

Randomized jitter and movement patterns are often replicated and considered.
StopTheMadness implemented something similar but YouTube eventually got wise and I had to stop using that one too.
Everything you said applies to humans doesn’t it?
AI is a tool, and there's about as much point as having some team fretting about responsible usage as there is having similar notions in a Bazooka manufacturer. Whoever ultimately owns the AI (or the Bazooka) will always dictate how and where the particular tool is used.

Many of these AI Ethics foundations (e.g., DAIR), just seem to advocate rent seeking behavior, scraping out a role for themselves off the backs of others who do the actual technical (and indeed ethical) work. I'm sure the Meta Responsible AI team was staffed with similar semi-literate blowhards, all stance and no actual work.
I don't immediately see how you distinguish an eclipse and an occultation. If (visible, say) light from some source is blocked by an object, isn't that a shadow (albeit a very very faint one)?
As language nerd,and given its relationship to Lisp and Dylan ideas, I enjoy it being adopted, even in a specific niche.

Moreso I would enjoy that somehow pressures Python folks to care about having a JIT in the box.

The only major mainstream scripting language left without one.

There are still Perl, Tcl, and Awk, however their use isn't as widespread nowadays.
OpenAI isn’t a normal startup. It was founded as a research focused not for profit. That 300k+ base comp isn’t what I’d consider “risky” either. Career wise it never seemed risky as some of the fields top AI researchers were there from day almost one.
When the Japanese course first came out it was of low quality, very short with kanji not being taught and even being mispronounced. It seems to have improved over time. I especially like the Stories feature.

you can't critisize the government if you live in the country?
"We are now living in a global state that has been structured for the benefit of non-human entities with non-human goals. They have enormous media reach, which they use to distract attention from threats to their own survival. They also have an enormous ability to support litigation against public participation, except in the very limited circumstances where such action is forbidden. Individual atomized humans are thus either co-opted by these entities (you can live very nicely as a CEO or a politician, as long as you don't bite the feeding hand) or steamrollered if they try to resist."

The problem with usb c (but also mini and micro) is the weak connector on the device itself. The way its connected to the board is way weaker than a large usb a connector on a motherboard. Accidentally pullen a keyboard while attached will for sure destroy a usb c port. A usb a most likely survive.
My guess would be to prevent smoking or vaping
I have been unable to make this strategy work. If I lean into hobbies and things outside of work, I completely stop caring about my job, and my performance goes way down.
Now, that's a name I've not heard in a long time.
I'm not going to advocate for illegal activities but unfortunately this is the most practical solution in most of the US.

That said, do NOT shoot anything with a real firearm. Even small caliber bullets travel for miles. Walking out at 2am with a red ryder BB gun and plinking it would work just fine.
You're mostly spot on but your last sentence is flawed, as it's chloramines that are the problem with pools, not chlorine, and urine is all-too-often the root cause

The board here are more like advisors.

If Altman takes all of the good engineers and researchers with him, OpenAI is no more.

So the board can be the boss of nothing, sure, without the ability to do anything - leading the organisation, raising funds, and so on

Perhaps they could hire someone that could replace Sam Altman, but, that would require a much larger company who have the employees indifferent to the leadership, like, EA or something

OpenAI is much more smaller and close knit.

As the goto electronics guy I have swen broken USB A but not broken USB-C (yet). USB-C is sturdy, the weakness is either going to be the cable or the bonding of the copper with the PCB. Both is basically a matter of go much money the manufacturers are willing to spend.
I'm not a doomer but I honestly don't understand this argument. If releasing model as open source helps researchers determine if it's safe, what about when it's not deemed safe? Then it's already out there, on the hard drives of half of 4chan. It's much easier and cheaper to fine-tune a model, distil and quantize it and put it on a killer drone, than it is to train it from scratch.

On the other hand I totally relate with the idea that it could be preferable that everyday has access to advanced AI and not just large companies and nation states.
Also not paying the rest of the tranches that would make up the $10B. Also with Microsoft being their exclusive commercial partner, they can’t revenue fund if Microsoft stops the spigots. No other investor would want to invest. PPUs lose most of their value and employees leave. How to implode the most important company of our times with record speed.

It’s also strange why they would have a couple of nobodies on the board.
Just a little nitpick on the French word. Since it's from Latin, there's also a Spanish cognate, patrimonio. The word has no exact English equivalent but as parent said, it could mean someone's assets/estate. I would like to add that sometimes it can also be translated as "heritage". This could serve to complete the idea of the concept behind it.
Wiktionary has a good example photo of a tachometer: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/redline

I also think of the movie "Redline": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FZ0AXNldV8

(But yes, depending on context, the word has the other meaning you note.)
>Well, I mostly agree although I think lethal force is often not in the 'within reason' clause of my stance.

For sure, there definitely are situations in which case it would be absurd to try to justify as within reason. But I would say burglaries, home invasions, muggings, carjackings or any theft that has an implication of violence towards the victim and the like squarely fall into the "within reason" category regardless of the actual amount attempted to be stolen.

>Depends on the circumstances but Americans love to jump to talking about lethal force way too fast and it's creepy. Not to mention that it results in, well, a lot of death.

I know what you mean, but I think this comes about as a result of Americans being one of the few peoples in the world in the unique position where they have the right to do something about it, and many of them are afraid of this right being curbed or taken away. There are not many countries where your average everyman can just walk into a store to buy a weapon that would actually be reasonable to use in a self defense scenario without harming yourself and then use them to legally protect themselves, their families, their properties. And those are rights sadly that many people in the US campaign against even knowing that once they are gone they are not likely to get them back. In other countries, people do not bring up such topics because they know the reality of having such rights in the future are more or less an impossibility.
Sounds like a simple Python script would suffice and not waste that much electricity than several (why???) LLM servers running
What does 'luminance' mean in this context?
Google and Meta have more money and more compute than OpenAI. They have more data, better infrastructure, and more AI researchers. And they have been trying hard to catch up - so far unsuccessfully.
> Everything's obvious once you know all the answers.

No not really, Google has a history of not delivering or launching half baked products and then killing them quickly.
ChatGPT has gotten noticeably worse at following directions, eg guidelines for writing an essay.

You used to be able to tell it to not include parts of the prompt or write in a certain style — and now it’ll ignore those guidelines.

I believe they did this to stop DAN jailbreaks, but now, it can no longer follow directions for composition at all.
How can a large usb A port be weaker than a tiny usb c port?
If you attach a keyboard and throw it out of the window the usb A port will remain ok whereas the usb c port instantly gets damaged.
If you're getting a motherboard with multiple NICs, it's probably not limited to lowest cost NICs, so Intel is on the table. (Although, I'm still not sure if they got their 2.5g NICs to work?)

Dual NIC boards with AMD sockets does seem like a niche unfulfilled, though. There's some options on the Intel side though, something like ASRock Z690M-ITX/ax might work if you compromise on CPUs.
"'m really not convinced a text generator is an existential threat to the species"

Except it's not only a text generator. It now browses the web, runs code and calls functions.
I guess most damage actually does not happen during insertion itself but when someone trips over the cable while the plug is in the socket. Simply because of its bigger size that force is then applied to a bigger grip surface and thus lower per square millimeters on USB-A while the forces will be much bigger with C
Node might not, but Javascript (even on the server) will mostly be.*

After covid my trust in future of humanity has plummeted. It feels like every time I see people they're talking about "science" where they've actually thrown the science part out and are having a lot of feelings how things are. Apparently everything is impossible to know, even all the things that are extremely well studied and really simple, and you can replace all the modern science by reading some tweets, listening to bro science podcasts and feeling them out, and always ending up the result you were looking for anyways. It's hard to understand how people's understanding of complex subjects can be on so ridiculous level but still be thinking they know everything they need to know. Maybe my view is biased but it's always the same story everywhere I go, though I've stopped going out as I find it so frustrating and depressing. I even meet people who have been "studying science" for years but don't really know how scientific method works and obviously don't even know what scientific paper looks like.
Nowadays I just ask ChatGPT to give an “ffmpeg” terminal command

Show HN: Devtools Responsive Mode on Steroids
I made this tool that lets you see any site - on all devices - at the same time. Imagine devtools device preview, but you can see all the devices simultaneously - thats what this is. You can pick and choose devices as needed.

It works on localhost sites too, and even supports hot reloading so you can see instantaneous changes as you develop.

I made this because I'm not a good frontend dev, I struggle with responsive designs, and found devtools cumbersome to use, and other existing tools were very broken.

As of my last checkup, this is the only extension of its type in the world that actually works.

Been working on this for over 8 months, has been a blast and I've pushed many bug fixes the last month

Happy to take any questions
Yet on the opposite side we are still buying USB A peripherals _because_ we do not have USB C ports everywhere.

A mineral is a chemical.
True, but too boring! Publications need to gather as many eyeballs as possible for fame or more mundanely, advertisement revenues.
There’s probably a lot of behind the scenes drama and phone calls occurring among their top researchers. I’d guess Sam Altman calling them and trying to gain support for a counter coup. Things like this article to give the appearance that Sam et al have ready won, etc. If the board and new CEO isn’t doing that too, they could end up losing.
A 100 mph limiter doesn't save that many lives, better change it to 65 mph. Luckily we've already got the limiter installed.
All large scale human atrocities required a centralized government imposing on the public a technocratic agenda.

“AI safety” advocates are recreating that problem, now with AI spice.

How about we don’t create actual problems (technocrats imposing disasters on the public) because we’re fighting the scourge of hypothetical pixies?
I have many other interests/hobbies that are unrelated to work. I do my 8 to 5 and almost never think about work outside of it. Having a healthy workplace that encourages this helps a lot, I realize it might not be possible for everyone.
You’re mixing up mini-USB and micro-USB. Also, the board attachment is not strictly speaking part of the connector standard. Manufacturers are free to, and do, screw that up in myriad ways.
I have lots of fun talking to ChatGPT at length about a variety of subjects, but I'm never under the illusion that it's a girl or a friend. What's the point of pretending that, if you know it's not true, or do you?
Wage theft is abhorrent but does not have the implication of violence behind it, so I would say no, take it to the law and go work somewhere else. It's a far cry from knowing a stranger has broken into your house and violated one of the few sanctuaries you have and potentially put your family at risk, and left behind the trauma of family members never feeling safe in that home again (and that is something I can tell you from experience). You do not know what he is thinking or what his motivations are. You do not know how he will react to your presence or to the presence of your family, but you do know for him to have broken in he is not in the right state of mind and his reasoning skills have issues.
My empirical evidence: I've now had to replace two laptop motherboards due to a (mechanically) failed USB-C port.

I have had laptops with only USB-C ports since 2015 and not a single one failed. I also don't know anyone who had a broken USB-C port. There is probably variance between manufacturers.
Just wanted to add - this is a browser extension - currently just on Chromium browsers, but a Firefox port is in the works :)

When I got deep into this project I wanted this extension to be one of the highest quality extensions developers will ever use
I can eat glass, it does not hurt me. Just that it does not have any health benefits :(.
It is probably easier to have two cables and replace a broken one in case of failure than replacing your USB connector (or the lifted pads) in case of failure.

A broken cable means the cable will be replaced, a broken connector might mean the device is thrown out.

Now I am a person with the skill and tools to replace such a connector or patch up the PCB in most cases, but Ibstill think I'd rsther replace the cable. Thebexpensive thing isn't the part. It is my time.
Also don't accidentally stick an USB-A port into an Ethernet port. It will fit but your peripheral won't work
That isn't true; sometimes just talking through the problem and checking assumptions, or just having another brain to work through the problem is what's needed. I guarantee you the issue wasn't one of the OP not knowing the language or framework well enough.
I also struggle with this. Not social media, per se, but overstimulation which leaved me unable to unwind and prevents me from sleeping well.

This is probably one of those things like weight loss where you know the "simple" answer (burn more calories than you eat, reduce stimulation and practice good sleep hygiene) but the actual problem is lack of will to do these things, which can be reinforced by the apparent problem itself, leading to a spiral.

The trick, I assume, is to put what energy you have into setting up structures (ideally involving other people) that make it easier to do the things you know you need to do.
I've quickly scanned the paper. It convincingly shows that nanoplastics can promote aggregation of α-synuclein (a key protein in Parkinson's pathology) in vitro and in cultured cells. Note however that many substances known to be safe can do this.

The in vivo study involves injecting nanoplastics directly into the brain of mice along with human α-synuclein fibrils, so is one step up from in vitro work but still quite artificial.

In sum, it does not demonstrate that nanoplastics in the environment, or even those that might be directly administered to mice, e.g. in food, have any effect on Parkinson's-like symptoms or pathology.

Edit: I should add that laboratory mice are often in contact with plastics that they chew on. So it's highly unlikely that ingesting plastics has any effect on mouse models of Parkinson's as this would have been noted decades ago.
The next will be downloading the videos in background, stripping the ads, and watching them later.
