You're entitled to your opinions.

But as far as I can tell, unless you are in the exec suites at both OpenAI and at Microsoft, these are just your opinions, yet you present them as fact.
OpenAI is not far ahead of Google. In fact, they are within reasonable distance.

Although now Google is the undisputed leader, given that Microsoft does not have the internal resources to maintain this thing.

At the time I selected Ansible, Saltstack had just had a fairly serious "we invented our own crypto" issue, but also Ansible's agentless approach was nice for my environment, though saltstack did have some great demos of what you could do with their approach, and, I had friends who were working on Ansible, which seemed like it was worth something... I'll take a look to see if Saltstack is in the same space as uPlaybook.
One of the niftiest ways I've seen this done was some software I used circa 2000 (I don't remember the name). It would create a variable-rate timelapse by saving a frame every time the image changed more than $x percent, calculated as the sum of differences of pixels from the previous frame, or thereabouts.

If someone was walking across the yard it would save every frame. The movement of the sun would move shadows enough to trigger a new image every few minutes. A bug flying past was small enough that it wouldn't trigger anything. The result was you could get a short video of everything interesting that happened through the day: shadows of trees sliding over the ground, every frame of the car pulling out of the driveway, shadows sliding over the ground some more, cat walks across the yard then lays down, shadows pan around more while the cat sits still, cat gets up and walks away, shadows pan around until the delivery guy comes...

It was an incredibly low-CPU way to see everything that happened without missing anything, and without having to fine-tune the motion detection very much. You just mask out any areas with constant motion, then adjust the slider for how much change triggered the next frame, which would let you adjust how fast the timelapse would go during the boring parts.

I've always wondered why the technique never became widespread.

>Just because someone has a lot of money doesn’t mean their opinions are useful.

Yes. There can often be an inverse correlation, because they can have success bias, like survival bias.
Ilya is spiderman then lol.
> Build a RAID array with 33 disks ...

Yes, naturally 33 > 1, so you might expect 33 times as many failures of individual components.

But your analogy between arrays of rocket engines and disks is apt, because both have redundancy to survive the failure of individual components.

For example, in the high-altitude flight test of the Starship prototype in May 2021, three of the 33 Raptor engines powering the first stage failed shortly after liftoff. The vehicle still managed to continue flying, reaching an altitude of 40 kilometers before failing due to a variety of causes.

> People genuinely don’t understand how statistics work

Indeed.

If an individual disk has MTBF of 2 million hours, the probability of it failing in the first year is 0.437%.

But put 33 of those disks in a RAID 6 array, which can tolerate 1 or 2 failures without replacement, and the probability of the entire array failing in the first year drops by a factor of ten to 0.0413%.

The statistics say the array is even more reliable than a single component by itself.
It’s not a company it’s a non-profit organization with a defined mission.

Pretty sure that’s the crux of the problem here.

The sort of interesting part of all these comment threads is the unstated assumption that a very fast growing multi billion dollar for profit tech company is an unmitigated “good thing” and anyone getting in the way of that is wrong.

Not everyone thinks that or has that as a goal.
It seems like you're trying (and failing) to suggest that my reaction was akin to becoming frustrated with linux and returning to Windows.

This is a silly thing to assert. There are lots of password managers, but there's no good reason for a locally-run one to lock me out because the software vendor fucked something up.
They usually use libSDL instead of GTK, though.
For reference I think this probably partly explains my reluctance to use A.I. to help me code.

If I ask e.g. ChatGPT to just code something for me then the code it outputs is a black box, and there is no 'theory usage' in the parlance of the article. [Or I guess I'd have to recover the theory from the code it writes].

I've accepted by now that I'm putting myself at a disadvantage by not using A.I.
at work however. Maybe another way to think about it would be that A.I. allows us to use our higher level theoretical understanding when we interact with codebase.
I used to aim for an average 20mph over my rides when I was in peak fitness, so putting it “beyond … physical capabilities” is nonsense.

Such systems exist with even more advanced key management schemes. Eg: you lose a handset, it gets removed, all other handsets have their traffic key rotated immediately over the air.
If Altman was doing something that ran directly against the mission of OpenAI in a way that all of the other stuff that OpenAI has been doing so far did not then I haven't seen it. OpenAI has been off-script for a long time now (compared to what they originally said) and outwardly it seemed the board was A-Ok with that.

Now we either see a belated - and somewhat erratic - response to all that went before or there is some smoking gun. If there isn't they have just done themselves an immense disservice. Maybe they think they can live without donations now that the commercial ball is rolling downhill fast enough but that only works if you don't damage your brand.
Infinite scale huh?
No, what is the computational complexity of the task? The computational complexity of the problem is not about how long your code is or how long you took to write it.

I don't know your CS background but perhaps I do not view the terms "complex" and "tedious" the way you assume. A tedious parser is certainly tedious to write, but it is not (necessarily) complex. And from an engineering standpoint it is questionable that you lost all the formatting information from Word, which would have already demarcated what things were headers, code, and so forth. So, you had to use a roundabout way—an LLM—to recover that information from the semantics.

If what you're really arguing is that ChatGPT works well for language translation tesks, in this case translating mixed prose, code, and foreign languages--sure I guess that's great at productivity and removing tedium, but it's not that surprising a usage given what LLMs are. They are language translators.

In other words you're saying it's complex but your argument reduces a task that is straightforward but tedious for humans, to the problem complexity of natural language processing.
Right, and you don't need a non-compete to go after former employee stealing your IP.
Ideally, yes—it’s very close to downtown and accessible by public transit. A lot of people in cities don’t need or want cars, and this type of development will attract them because it’s likely to be cheaper than an equivalent with a parking space.

People here might own cars, but it’s up to them to find parking and pay for it themselves, rather than building it into the cost of buying/renting for everyone in these buildings—building without minimums means much cheaper building costs. It’s working in other cities where it’s being deployed and is a great way to incentivize cities to invest in car alternatives.

That very well may have happened here. It is important to consider that this is effectively an HR matter and that the results of employee investigations cannot be made public.

It's really easy to check a field of a pointer struct without first checking the struct is non nil. Would be interesting if go vet or test checked this somehow.
> non adjustable side mirrors

What does that even look like? I've driven plenty of old US cars, and power mirrors pretty much weren't a thing, but the side mirrors always were mounted on some sort of swively thing so you can adjust them. Big truck mirrors might only adjust horizontally and not vertically though, but I've never seen that on a car.
That's a pretty big leap of logic there.
i don't see what vaccines have to to with any of this.

also, as cool as "facts" are it really bothers me when people take their opinion and present it as fact or as truth. you see: the truth is something abstract and usually, not always, but usually there is a matter of interpretation and a gradient of the truth. I'm not speaking of well researched things that have mountains of evidence behind them. I'm speaking about people having really strong opinions without understanding the evidence behind it and without understanding the nuances of what applies when. It's really fashionable to shit all over other people when they don't agree to a T with what you are saying but IMHO it's the wrong thing to do - being curious and actually unpacking what they are trying to say if they can have a civilized discussion and logic actually works with them is the way to go.
People probably wouldn't complain if they took one or two percent 'tips', but 25% is absolutely outrageous on top of already higher fees.

I do like the approach of static code analysis.

I found it a little funny that their big "win" for the nilness checker was some code logging nil panics thousands of time a day. Literally an example where their checker wasn't needed because it was being logged at runtime.

It's a good idea but they need some examples where their product beats running "grep panic".

Isn’t that essentially the job of a film producer? You do see a lot of productions where there’s a ton of executive producer titles given out as almost a vanity position.
A lot of it will be location based. It has come up before here in the discussion of why there is so much in the app. They have to cater for all the different rules in every jurisdiction.

Your post is internally inconsistent. Defining a coup as "any takeover of power" is inconsistent with saying that firing Sam Altman is a coup. CEOs do not have and should not have any power vis-à-vis the board. It's right there in the name.

Executives do not have any right to their position. They are an officer, i.e., an agent of the stakeholders. The idea that the executive is the holder of the power and it's a "coup" if they aren't allowed to remain is disgustingly reminiscent of Trumpian stop-the-steal rhetoric.

Median. And my 20-30 years might have been inaccurate; compare to 1970, not 2000. It seems to be a "crime is on the rise" situation; a 50% gain after a 50% drop doesn't get you back to 100.
But some are. Could we have that as AI? Would LLMs ever have it?
Having served 20+ years as a director on various 501c3 boards, I'm pretty familiar with the requirements of the role. Fundamentally, directors have the duty to serve the interests of the organization vs. the interests of directors. This quote [0] sums it up succinctly:

Board members are the fiduciaries who steer the organization towards a
sustainable future by adopting sound, ethical, and legal governance and
financial management policies, as well as by making sure the nonprofit has
adequate resources to advance its mission.

So yes indeed, board members serve with the burden of explicit fiduciary duties to the organization.

> Tortious interference?

How?

> It’s pretty textbook right?

No? Offering a compensation package can't be tortious interference, tortious interference requires an existing contract, and action by a third party that (along with a whole bunch of other conditions) causes a breach of that contract.
This is an idealized notion (but one I wish everyone could adhere to). In reality, intellectual property rights were considered a necessity for societal progress. Before intellectual property rights, many ideas were lost because they were guarded too tightly. If that person died, those secrets were potentially lost forever and, presumably, society would be worse for it. So we developed IP rights as a way to share ideas in exchange for exclusive rights to them for some time. (This isn't discounting how these laws can be perverted to hurt the original intent).

Likewise, trade secrets are a mechanism to help foster better (and fairer) commercial practices under the guise that society will benefit. It's a pragmatic take rather than an idealistic one.

> All of my code will need to special case this, what a disaster.

No, your code should handle the error state first and treat the value as invalid up until that point, e.g.

foo, err := getVal()
if err != nil {
return
}

// foo can only be used now

It's infuriating that there's no compiler support to make this easier, but c'est la vie.

Wouldn’t a likely outcome in that case be that someone else overtakes them? Or are they so confident that they think it’s not a real threat?
And the stupid thing is, they could have just used the allegations his sister made against him as the reason for the firing and ridden off into the sunset, Scott-free.
That's making three assumptions: 1) That everyone has something they're really talented at, 2) that they'd want to do that thing if they found out what is is, and 3) that the time, money and effort to do so would pay off compared to having remained an average developer.

Personally, I'm not a great developer, but I was even worse at all of the other things I put a lot of time and effort into. And at the end of the day I do enjoy programming. So remaining an average developer it is.

> if the knowledge of certain strategy is so important, the employee should be retained by paying them more and giving them better perks

This particular suggestion breaks down fast when you have multiple employees that need to collaborate. If you have a million dollar strategy, you can pay half a million to an employee as a retention bonus. But you can't pay half a million each to 8 employees.
1. It seems like everyone in the space is loosing money and yet investors still seem willing to just keep throwing more at them.

2. From other accounts, the people they fired were the ones leaving more heavily towards commercialization. Based on what I’ve read (which is certainly multiple steps removed from the source), these would have been the wrong members to oust if the goal was to make more money.
> Did a wise arbiter of truth set up goalposts that I moved?

Collectively, yes. The criticism of AI has always been "well it isn't AI because it can't do [thing just beyond its abilities].

Maybe individually your goalpost hasn't moved, and as soon as it invents some maths you'll say "yep, it's intelligent" (though I strongly doubt it). But collectively the naysayers in general will find another reason why it's not really intelligent. Not like us.

It's very tedious.

A referral is the only reason I have a job.

Spent a years getting rejected for roles that seemed a perfect fit at all stages of the hiring pipeline. These were from mostly cold apps and recruiter for jobs doing work aligning very closely with my past work, including trying to go back to a company that I had no issues getting into some years ago.

Ended up getting a referral at one place, hadn’t touched the tech they were using in years, or sometimes at all, had an awkward interview. I was just waiting for the rejection email, but what I got was a call extending an offer.

Sweden also has zero tax for inheritance and gifts.

What is "fair" is subjective. Inheritance is only by chance if you consider family ties to have zero value. Building something over generations, for example a company or a farm, becomes difficult with high inheritance tax.
Non-competes and NDAs are literally the mechanisms that companies try to protect their trade secrets. Patents, copyrights, etc cover publically disclosed IP.

The OP was about how non-competes make sense in an IP-intensive field, like quant finance. The reason is that these contracts help protect the IP by explicitly stating their case. Your comment goes against the very foundation of IP law: creating reasonably fair commercial opportunities. If I can extort you because you hired me and I learned your secrets, I think that pushes the scales beyond "reasonable."

Engineers are great at solving problems given a set of constraints. They are not necessarily all that good at figuring out what constraints ought to be when they are given open-ended, unconstrained tasks. Jobs was great at defining good constraints. You might call this pruning, and if you intended that pejoratively then I think you're underselling the value of this skill.
