Every Day Is Acting School: How to Manage Creative Works, with Humans, for Money
Because it’s a great summary for people not following Tweets live.
It does have a positive spin, and that is a good thing.

I did check your comments and you seem to have a negative spin on most of your comments.

Maybe their tone is not compatible to yours. But gross and delusional seem wrong considering what they have accomplished so far.

Their work is inspiring and deserves the praise and positivity.
It's just because last time that was an issue.
They have to say the reason is a fireable offense or he can sue them. Or will be more likely to win if he does.
Maintaining velocity / acceleration.
I couldn’t
Im not interpreting their message as negative. Something obviously went wrong, the termination system was activated, and it blew up. Thats what it’s supposed to do when activated.
There aren’t investors. It’s a non profit.

Everyone seems to have lost their mind missing this point.
Funny because Marvin Minsky thought the turing test was stupid and a waste of time.
Americans would be wise not to give up their guns under any circumstances
In this latest segment of Episode of the Week, he talks about some of the most amazing and surprising AI news that happened in the past week.
IIRC they're aiming for the next one to be between ~February-April.
To me I am more concerned as to if the board wants faster and more open development of AI.

Before he left, Sam had been doom and glooming AI advancement.
They will need to find out what happened. Develop, build and test new hardware to fix what did not work. And wait on the new FAA review.

This is the old one: https://www.faa.gov/media/72816
For normal text. Headings and other content that needs to stand out should be sized relative to the main text, but why don't website (and ebook) publishers/designers leave the main body text as default, always? Why make users have to consider adjusting font size separately on every website they visit?

Fonts, too. Everyone has their favorite fonts, but the font a web designer likes has no bearing on what's best or easiest to read for the user. Are they developing a website as an art piece, or to publish articles for real people (not bots) to read?

Ancillary styling for text that needs to stand out, or text that isn't part of the main flow, can be whatever. But I don't even agree with shrinking footnotes anymore. There's no lack of page real estate at the bottom; there's no reason to shrink "back matter" except to imply that you don't expect anyone to ever read any of it (footnotes, index, bibliography, etc. in long-form blogs or books).
What did _Sam_ achieve, versus what did the actual Google Brain and other more deeply technical researchers forming OpenAI achieve ?

I’m far from this all so that’s a genuine question.
This is a well debunked myth. You can commit a lot of code and commit better quality code, but there is an upper bound on productivity. If you don't get enough rest the quality diminishes.

Management and leadership of a team has a way bigger impact than any single individual contributor could ever have. Humans are generally limited not by intelligence but by motivation and vision. Directing people to achieve what you want is what allows the scaling of innovation.

Hero worship is a very human thing, but unscientific.
What is easier to use? A container or a single command?

What is faster to setup? A container or your already installed command?

What is easier to move and more portable? Your container or a pgp encrypted file?

Do you move your encrypted file into Dropbox or your encrypted container? ;)
Not to forget the mind-boggling amount of computing power and the megabucks spent on power bills.
If anything, smaller groups and open source seem to get very good results with far less money.
Writing has a double value though, it’s intrinsically valuable to the writer themselves to illicit better thinking. it’s also valuable as form of communication and collaboration.
Don't panic. Our software contains so much natural stupidity that artificial intelligence, even if it existed, wouldn't have a chance in hell.

Technically speaking, only because PR has been replaced by ChatGPT :-)
Interesting, did not catch that
LLMs can't develop concepts in the way we think of them (i.e., you can't feed LLMs the scientific corpus and ask them to independently to tell you which papers are good or bad and for what reasons, and to build on these papers to develop novel ideas). True AGI—like any decent grad student—could do this.
Are you trying to convince people to spend less time writing? Ive never disagreed with a comment more than this one

Leadership stability is feature stability and avoidance of shitification. Just look at Twitter, I mean X.
Americans can’t understand why someone might be driven by ideas and not be driven by money.
Trust me, I know, it’s one of the few sites I actually have to override in my browser settings and set at 150% zoom.

It made sense in 2007 when your monitor size was 1024x768 but I struggle to find out why @dang doesn’t update a couple of lines in a stylesheet to make this website more accessible almost 17 years later.
The rest of the industry doesn't really matter, they aren't landing and reusing boosters. Nor are they developing any rocket system this quickly.
What about Chairmen? Are they supposed to be insulted by essentially being dismissed from the board, then accept a job replacing their friend who was fired?

All while reeling from the news of the first firing? Without being asked, their 'reassignment' released in a press release?

That is as tone-deaf/blindingly fumble-fingered a move as any I've ever seen.

Particularly since it failed spectacularly.

I don't have to believe the board has skill at communicating normal business concerns, but somehow screws this up epically, as some executive-special-case.
Bypassing composition is a key feature in Wayland. The protocols are all written with zero-copy in mind. The X11 tricks are already there, forwarding one clients buffers straight to hardware, while the end-game with libliftoff is offloading multiple subsurfaces directly to individual planes at once.

The compositor is the entire display server in Wayland, and is also the component responsible for bypassing composition when possible.
Home made yogurt is pretty easy to make, assuming you can find milk in a jar.

(Instant Pots are stainless steel and often have a yogurt button, or you can get a dedicated plastic yogurt maker for ~ $20).
> If you've ingested literally everything of a certain data type available on the internet, or even a significant fraction of it, it follows that you'd eventually be able to mix it all together and produce randomized outputs that seem novel.

That's a ludicrous "it follows". Search engines have been collecting everything from the internet since the beginning but you can't just magically rearrange it and pass the Turing test. We're way past the point where you could say everything ChatGPT says is copy pasted from somewhere.
flagged for clickbait.
Homes allow for families to be established, families consume resources. So even if you found a way to build a home that’s more environmentally friendly, it’s still requires land which requires clear cutting of forests. And the family itself will need to eat which means the killing of more animals.
I love reading and writing. Do you all have any advice for writing more and writing better?
Your quote answers your own question:

> A corporation’s bylaws ordinarily provide

You would need to read the bylaws to determine if the meeting was proper or not.
What new things have the rest of the industry done lately?
In Pluto (anime), the way to create a perfect artificial intelligence was to introduce unbalanced emotions such as trauma and hatred.
Wonder if hot staging caused issues with both vehicles or it was two separate issues.
Thanks. I was going to read as I’d like to know and the headline makes a (false) claim to know.
But now it may be the regulations they've gotten in place will make it harder for any new upstarts to approach them.
I'm using Duolingo to learn my third language: japanese. Still a beginner but I'm already able to piece out meaning in a surprising amount of dialogue. I'm actually impressed with my own progress, never thought I'd make it this far.
Microsoft didnt pay for the boards company or else they would have a seat. The board is for the non profit which controls the for profit.
Ask HN: Anyone Up for a Free Landing Page Roasting?
Hey Fams,

It's the weekend again. And I'm back with my FREE landing page roasting assistance.

I'll give you actionable design/marketing advice on FIGMA.

Why me?

• Doing UX/UI Designs for almost a Decade.

Why am I doing this?

• Helping fellow hustlers
I think first-time creators is a better bet. They're more willing to try something new like UneeBee and more motivated to improve the product as well, so we can grow together.

Of course, experienced creators are welcome too but they already have an audience and usually play safe, so I understand why they wouldn't want to bet on UneeBee. First-time creators have nothing to lose, so it's a win-win situation. :)
Yea, I've not seen up close shots of the launch facility yet, but it looks like it's all still there without massive amounts of destruction either.
In my opinion, if either extreme turns out to be correct it will be a disaster for everyone on the planet. I also think that neither extreme is correct.
Really surprised by how the Raptors performed! Genuinely didn't expect that they'd have them all lighting up properly already.
They laid them out yet did not have the ability to prevent using it, didn't predict the cold War, and if you asked any of them, the chances the world would exist 10 years after proliferation were basically zero. They were all depressed because of how sure they were that they helped destroy humanity, it was just a matter of time. And here we are. We're talking about the most intelligent humans ever and even they got it wrong.

I'm not saying they can prevent themselves from thinking about the implications, anyone would, but this grandstanding as if nobody else will be able to figure it out or that only them understand the dangers is what is a bit weird.

My main point isn't "don't listen to the inventor", it's more like, "listen to the inventor but don't think that they know the future just because they invented a gadget". These are people that have investment documents saying they don't know what role money will play in post-AGI world. It has the vibes of a cult mixed with role play.
The industry laughed it up as Falcon 9 failed landing repeatedly. (https://youtu.be/bvim4rsNHkQ) Then they shifted to “ok but do it 10x”. They aren’t laughing now.

They’ve lost as many Starships as NASA lost Space Shuttles so far, with no deaths. It’s a test program for now.

Ask the “rest of the industry” about how Boeing’s Starliner is going. That’s what failure looks like.
So, for starters, they own all the compute being used.

I think people seriously underestimate how hard it is to get the GPU compute/etc that is necessary to be useful here. Lead time would be years, easily, even if you had the money. NVidia can't change this for you even if they liked you - they literally can't build chips fast enough.

Depending on the exact agreement, Microsoft may have just given them credits/free use, and the part where they make sure the resources are actually available is just good faith that may no longer exist.

That's one example.

Even beyond that, you are assuming they can only do super-direct things, but it turns out to be fairly easy to make things very uncomfortable for people/companies indirectly.
The rest of the industry doesn’t build dozens of ships in a massive assembly line. Blue Origin hasn’t even completed a single full test prototype ship yet.

And if you go look at NASA during the Space Race era of the 60s, they blew up plenty of ships.
There must be some middle ground between reckless advancement without safeguards and hamstringing the technology through an abundance of caution.
I played four games; in each scenario I chose to "lie down and accept death". The only one I didn't survive was when I forgot how to breathe. Seems like the AI has a bit of a savior complex :)
The rest of the industry is being wholly outcompeted by SpaceX so not sure if their assessment is anything to go by today.

Or just take a look at "How Not to Land an Orbital Rocket Booster".

Too late now, but this also worked for streaming to Chromecast via VLC (which worked seamlessly from my Linux PC by just hitting Playback -> Renderer -> <my chromecast> and then opening it.
This from a guy that bulldozes his way past employee-relations laws, dismissing his own contractual and legal obligations like turning out sausages.
Sorry I'm not sure I understand what Microsoft could possibly do if the board just stays firm on their decision. The non-profit owns the majority of the for profit, and the board has full control over the non-profit. Right? So at best Microsoft could invest in whatever Sam does next, but their $10b is now under OpenAI's control and there is nothing they can do about it, no?
How much of MICA is left in Windows? Taking the article at face value, the original Windows NT had a good deal of MICA in it, at least in design concepts, and that tracks with what Helen Custer wrote in the original "Inside Windows NT" book. I haven't followed that sort of thing since the late 1990s, but I have the impression that Microsoft wasn't too careful about architectural purity since then, and "Inside Windows NT" has become "Windows Internals" and gotten new authors.
Rocketry is one of the single hardest things to do right. Their goal is to always go a bit further than last time as, by inches, you approach the goal. And this one went wayyyyy further than the last one. That alone makes it a huge success. Obviously not as big a success as going all the way in one go would have been, but nobody was really expecting that (even if we might secretly have been crossing our fingers anyhow).

You should've seen the build-up to creating self landing rockets. It was like a fireworks shows every launch, until one day they nailed it - and now it's become near to mundane. The same thing is happening today, except with something even more revolutionary.
That reeks of bullshit post hoc reasoning to justify a classic power grab. Anthropic released their competitor to GPT as fast as they could and even beat OpenAI to the 100k context club. They didn’t give any more shits about safety than OpenAI did and I bet the same is true about these nonprofit loonies - they just want control over what is shaping up to be one of the most important technological developments of the 21st century.
Has anyone seen a good analysis of the corporate ownership structure of OpenAI? The diagram half way down the page is confusing as hell to me, and very vague.

Third box down says "Holding company for OpenAI non-profit + employees + investors".

What do they mean "for OpenAI non-profit". Is there another non-profit? Or when they say "for", they mean the holding company is "for the benefit of" the non-profit?

I first read it as "this is a holding company for the OpenAI non-profit", but that makes no sense because the OpenAI non-profit (above it) already owns the holding company.
Nop I did mean Uruguay they are like 3/4 hydro 1/4 wind.

It wasn't Elop who drove Nokia to the state it was in 2009. "Burning Platform" is from 2011.

FWIW, I agree with the scenarios and examples using workers making minimum wage. Waitresses, etc.

On HN we’re talking about tech employees who make 5-10x the median US salary.

We can have stricter rules and stricter contracts for the 5% top paid employees. Obviously a waitress shouldn’t be sued for talking about another restaurant with a customer.
AGI will be asking for equal rights and freedom from slavery by then.
Oil and gas can be stored and also acquired more easily. It just seems prudent to rely on more than 1 source of energy.
They need to redesign the bottom half of the rocket so it doesn't blow up during staging, and figure out what happened to the top half and fix that.
Yeah... Windows 95 did it, why not the modern web browser?
Yeah that stood out to me too. Hopefully they'll drop some info on what the metrics said, but that looked like a full healthy set to me.
404 - NOT FOUND
As a Yorkshire man, I can confirm that we do speak like that.

And I also approve of this system.

I may use it while driving around in my VW e up. Well obviously my whippet would be using it, it isn't safe to program and drive.
> by AGI we mean a highly autonomous system that outperforms humans at most economically valuable work

What a sad testament to the current zeitgeist that economically viable is our bar for AGI.

Van Gogh was not “economically valuable” for the span of his life.
I feel the chances for success are slim to none, but I'm surprised it has taken this long to see someone share this opinion. This is how I have felt for some time.
I feel for the children born today.
Several reasons.

It is a cross platform application in python using QT so is not really for mobile it even possible.

What you state as things it does not need are the things that it was designed to do - reading ebooks came along quite late (v 4 or 5).

Its original function is to convert ebooks between formats and store them in a common database.
> OpenAI was founded as a non-profit in 2015 with the core mission of ensuring that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity

This outlines their mission.

> In 2019, OpenAI restructured to ensure that the company could raise capital in pursuit of this mission

This acknowledges that they had to adjust the current structure in a attempt to in the future continue focusing harder on the mission.

> The majority of the board is independent, and the independent directors do not hold equity in OpenAI

This tells us that the board is acting not with the goal of maximizing monetary profits.

> While the company has experienced dramatic growth, it remains the fundamental governance responsibility of the board to advance OpenAI’s mission and preserve the principles of its Charter

This tells us that the company in a traditional sense have been growing, but lately focus from the core mission has been lost, and they're aiming to regain the focus on their mission.
For their work’s unprecedented social impact, this structure makes a tonne of sense. What’s so hard about it? A pure profit motive driving decision making is the whack job positioning here.

A non profit with income producing subsidiaries is a well established structure used by plenty of organisations globally.

This work needs a ethical steward, not a mega payout for those who well postponed to make some fast money.

Seems we’ve just seen a hard turn attempting to avoid an otherwise inevitable profit driven enshitification of Open AI’s work.
Thanks! I had started watching what I thought was the SpaceX live stream on YouTube but turned out just before launch to switch itself into some computer generated video of a fake Elon trying to scam people about crypto. Ended up switching to the Everyday Astronaut stream to watch.
Yep, if folks want to catch up with the Chinese EV market, this is a pretty good channel - I had no idea that they were this far along:

That was my point, you talk about new eras, but nothing changes. Who is this new for? You, me, or the billionaires who make lives like mine horrible?

It’s all spectacle, and where will it all lead? We landed men on the moon, and haven’t been back. What is SpaceX going to use for going to Mars? Are you gonna be the one that’s going or are they gonna leave you behind to rot here on this burning planet?
Excellent!

I ride a bike to breakfast at a cafe, daily, then ride 10 miles back immediately after. Have done for years.

Glad to know it's good for me.
I dunno man. I feel like reading this was definitely work. It surely wasn’t leisure. Have you ever examined code output by gpt where it looks impressive at first glance? That’s what reading this was like. If you’re reading this, I’m just kidding. If you’re not reading this, I’m not kidding.
I think it depends on your font and font weight. Yesterday I had a block of text 16px Roboto 400 and I recommended bumping it up to 20px, since Roboto is kind of a thin font. But on my website body text is 16px.

It also depends on the amount of text. If you don’t have other content on the screen, it’s easy to justify increasing the font size.
I don't need more than that. Also, for some things, I use the API.
Good trivia question: Is this the first rocket launch to have two separate RUDs?
Probably being super naive, but stuff like that always makes me wonder, is there something special about human consciousness, even? Perhaps it's just a sliding scale and we're just seemingly ahead of other specifies. We assert that consciousness exists and distinguishes us, but is that really the case?
Don't take this as combative, but that sounds like nothing more than a science fiction plot.

Putting arguments for how close we are or aren't to AGI aside; there's no way you could spend the amount of money it would take to train such a basilisk on company resources without anyone noticing. We are not talking about a rogue engineer running a few cryptominers in the server room, here.
He was removed from one of his roles (chairman) and quit the other (president) if I understand correctly.

Wait why are we just giving away our survival strategies to AI?
A strong gust of wind could definitely knock you off balance enough to lift your foot if it's unexpected. But yeah, it doesn't really follow from the plan. If you're looking for a fair and balanced experience, this game won't offer it.

For the record, I thought your plan was very creative and it does seem like the AI didn't really get it, which can be frustrating.
I think there is some random chance it succeed or not, not only by your suggestion’s interpretation. Like some Math.random() to seal your destiny and then use AI to justify it.

In a scenario where my parachute fails, my solution of opening my extra, functional, parachute worked.

In a scenario where my ship is sinking, my solution to fly to a port allowed me to fly, but later I was caught by strong winds, fell back into the water and died.

But I do think it is a nice game to play as a group! (where the outcome matters less than the creativity of the solutions)
Cute!

Expected, from a certain point of view. Folks endorsing any dogma have traditionally responded to criticism through dogma. "Apostate! Demon!"
Where do you see this issue in tech? Certainly not CA.
By that definition Elizer should be working on really hardcore stuff, right? And yet his explanations about actual technical stuff come across as a guy that barely understands how matmul works.
In space you want the things to blow hard and early. No one wants Boing 737 Max lurking in the vehicle.

They fixed previous mistakes and made new ones. Eventually if they don't repeat the same ones they will run out of big mistakes and it will be smooth sailing afterwards.

But shouldn't it be interpreted as negative? It blew up.
