> What's marketed as "Ethernet" today is vastly different from the 10base5 "yellow hose" originally called Ethernet.

The framing is compatible across all of these changes: your 802.11 NIC has an Ethernet MAC address and can talk to to a copper-connected GigE interface. Copper and fibre interfaces can also talk to each other.

Part of the reasons for the concept of OSI Layers is that you could change things at lower layers (Thicknet, Thinnet, co-ax, etc) and at higher layers (IP, AppleTalk, etc) and would continue to work.

The OSI Layer 2 is the same for all the "variants" of Ethernet. That makes it 'the same' as the original.
Well that was unexpected. To be fair, I got weird vibes from Sam when leading the keynote speech during the OpenAI devday, he seemed extremely nervous to me.
> I was shocked by how walkable it was.

I don't see why it would be shocking. It was a city for nearly 3,000 years before cars arrived.
Sure, and dumping mercury from your gold mine is cheap.
A bad title. I am mortgage-free because I rent and I don’t belong there. Should be: “The Share of American Homeowners…”
def some sort of scandal.

The prodigy Altman is booted after creating potentially the most successful company of all time and replaced by CTO who had no prior ML/AI experience becomes CEO. Wow.
This is quite unexpected. How instrumental is/has been Sam Altman in shaping OpenAI and how much is OpenAIs ability to execute and ship a result of his leadership? A lot of it, little of it? Will be interesting to watch.
No, I didn't, but if you can't understand language enough to recognize that there is no point in further discussion.
Usually, they say bs like "He wants to leave to pursue other opportunities", you never hear something as candid as "He is hindering us so we want to get rid of him"
> Thanksgiving is coming up. Black Friday is the busiest shopping day of the year. Drive around, notice how on the busiest shopping day of the year, most commercial parking lots still aren't full.

Sounds heavenly. But in reality, my wife (who actually likes going out on Black Friday, I don't know why) will be circling the lot waiting for a spot, any spot, even at the outer edge. It's nuts.
Shameless plug: We're building a dataset of visual novels for AI training

Visual novels are multimedia data with thorough plain-text annotations, and generative AI will greatly accelerate their development
Fewer vessels for fewer total trips is the more efficient option as a rule. See: cargo trains and gigantic container ships. Australia has some super long cargo trucks they allow called road-trains, I think, which are justifiable if you can fit them onto roads.

The thing that needs to be balanced in the case of # of axles is the cost of outfitting each truck with additional axles and associated suspension/braking hardware versus the savings in tire costs due to reduced wear on the larger number of tires.
Thank you, you're right, I read the parent comment backwards.
I paid for Photostructure but stopped using it and am stuck. It's my favorite self hosted photo app iv'e found but have major issues with it.

It seems to have bugs with the periodic scanner and importing. Something in my very large collection (134k photos) kills it and it stops importing.

Everything imports fine but all of a sudden it just hangs. Bummer right?
Correcting drift is exactly what a disciplined clock does. It's the solution to the problem you mentioned.
Hitting twitter now, apparently something to do with inconsistent communication with the board.
Oh everywhere really. It's something I've been interested in for quiet a while. A battery related article was something I'd click on every time it came up on slashdot.

Limiting factor [1] can be really good at breaking things down and covering current battery tech (they are fairly bullish on tesla). But I also get bits and pieces from google news feeds, renewable focused social media, and diving into anti-renewable social media :D. I don't mind reading into a critical piece to challenge my preconceived notions.

It does help, though, to simply know who the big players are and watch what they are actually manufacturing (and then read up on that tech). I mostly ignore the "this battery is 8 billion times cheaper than lithium ion!" news stories because they are sensationalist. An article about CATL building a solid state battery line and now I want to know what it is, how it works, and what the cons are.

CATL is probably the most interesting manufacturer to watch if you want to know where the cutting edge is. (Similar to TSMC being cutting edge when it comes to chip manufacturing).

I have thousands and thousands of miles on my bicycle tires. The cheap tires on my commuting bike kept wearing out, and I eventually switched to a high-quality replacement with a high latex content. I haven't had to replace the tires since, and the visible wear is minimal. I cannot recommend good tires strongly enough.
It appears that the containment system has completely failed.
I am hopeful developments like Mistral (a 7B model with the performance of ChatGPT for most of the tasks I've used it for) keeps happening. Seems like we can still compress a lot of knowledge.
People who try to drive six, eight hours without a break put themselves at danger, but also everyone around them.

I suspect insurance companies see the forced 20 minute break every five hours as a feature not a bug.
I don't find the Amazon Fire interface to be nearly as horrible and frustrating as Alexa is. What I don't understand is how it is so bad. You could literally just glue together the tiny.en Whisper model and the Mistral7b LLM and add some APIs and get something that would work so much better than Alexa for most tasks. I feel like I could do that in well under a month and replicate the most essential functionality, but with something that actually works well. So what exactly have the hundreds of highly compensated devs been doing for years there? It's truly mind-boggling to me.
Bitwarden UNSUPPORTED Linux client broken. As mentioned there are supported ways to use Linux.
> lashing out at groups that have nothing to do with you

You make it sound like I'm lashing out against H1B holders. I'm not. It's the "There's not enough talent in US, so we have to seek elsewhere" sentiment from hiring managers that I strongly disagree with. There's tons of talent here, they might just be harder to find because hiring is so broken.
> Toronto is a wonderful place to live, with and without a car

> Life without a car in Toronto is tolerable

> Buying a car makes it much better / Life became 10x easier [with a car]

> Buy a car. I promise you'll love it

So, according to your experience, life in Toronto without a car is "tolerable" and it becomes "much better" or "10x easier" with a car.

If driving a car makes such a difference, isn't that all the evidence you need to argue that Toronto's car-dependent urban planning is, indeed, a disaster for everybody without a car?

> Cars unlock a huge amount of economic activity - employees and customers can now reach many more businesses, and haul more stuff back and forth, much faster than walking/cycling/bussing

That is only true in a car-dependent city where car traffic is facilitated at the expense of all other modes of transportation. This isn't theory, it is how it works in most of the developed world.

In a city that is designed to facilitate the throughput of people rather than the flow of private motor vehicles, having a car or not doesn't make much of a difference because other alternatives are just as fast and convenient.
Immich allows you to create a shareable link for an album which other people can use to view and optionally upload photos, without a login required. I've only used this particular feature on the web so I don't know how or even whether it works on the app though.
AirBNB is all but banned in NYC.

So the hotels are full of migrants, not tourists, and there are few other options, which further hurts the local economy.
No, I do not see your point.

The reason why Avalonia and Uno have support for Linux but not MAUI is purely technical one - Avalonia and Uno draw their controls by themselves, like with Skia(sharp). MAUI tries to be a successor to Xamarin and uses native controls drawn by the host instead. Naturally, this has always been a problem on Linux and supporting it is non trivial (what do you choose? Attempt to make it work with Qt, GTK, something else entirely? what about X.Org vs Wayland?). Realistically, supporting mobile platforms first alongside Windows and macOS is much more important and is a far better investment of effort (how many users are there with desktops/laptops on Linux vs macOS/Windows) and there are only so many people working on this. It is perfectly fine for GUI frameworks to take different approaches and pursue different goals, where Linux systems are much better served by Avalonia.

Plenty of opportunities. Just might be in areas with lower populations.

Combined with remote work…
worth every minute of playing. However for me gameplay of the original is still worth a try. I think it forces you to plan, explore and look for alternatives more. Black Mesa has more "modern" gameplay.

Tesla has margins on their EVs so they could afford to cut the price. The other Western manufacturers aren't there yet, so there's not sufficient competition. Maybe Chinese manufacturers will get into western markets and we'll get a real price war
Hum... AFAIK, if the LEDs are controlled by a resistive load, any harmful interference should be easy to remove by just adding a varistor between its pins. (Those "filters" for electrical outlets usually have exactly that.)

If the LEDs have a switching power supply, they should survive basically any high-frequency noise, and any overvoltage that is small enough to pass unnoticed. Leaving only small average voltages to deal with (like from dimmers). Those should be detectable with a multimeter.
It's part of the TensorLi definition where all the magic happens.
> What's the subtext?

Not certain, but IMHO the last paragraph almost recognises that OpenAI has become something self contradictory:

> OpenAI was founded as a non-profit in 2015 with the core mission of ensuring that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. In 2019, OpenAI restructured to ensure that the company could raise capital in pursuit of this mission, while preserving the nonprofit's mission, governance, and oversight. The majority of the board is independent, and the independent directors do not hold equity in OpenAI. 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.
I expect quite a few people do this, or a variation on this.
Sam Altman Sacked
This is the craziest thing I have ever seen.
I know I won't get a lot of love for this, but Sam is a really good person. I don't know him well, but I've known him since long before OpenAI.

He's not perfect, but behind the scenes he's a genuine and upstanding person. I've met lots of wealthy smart people, and he's the only exception. He was the only person I trusted in this situation, and I'm genuinely nervous that he's no longer running OpenAI.

Article title is "Putin's war with Ukraine has basically killed off one of Russia's most successful tech companies".
A quick Google search, and you'd have learned that US BEV sales grew 68% in the last year. You'd have saved the embarrassment of writing a huge argument on faulty grounds.
This is what road/vehicle taxes are for.
So did Greg Brockman, what a weird turn of events
Wow, this came out of nowhere. I hope the best for Mr. Altman, I've been impressed with what I've seen of him. I'm curious to know more about this story.
Wow, you can be leading a company during such a successful and interesting product and still be pushed out so unceremoniously
Sounds like a hostile takeover to me. Waiting to hear Sam's side of the story.
What? I don’t understand this at all after all those interviews and openAI profiles.

It was always a bit strange that he never had a share nor took salary from OpenAI, but then what about his vision(and dream from childhood)to achieve AGI and all?
I have a strong gut feeling they're about to mess things up.

Quickly scanning the title I thought 'Leadership Transition' is yet another AI service announced.

Not a law, a consent decree, and Adams just suspended it.

> My favorite examples are the pencil statues, making fun of seemingly arbitrary obstacles in RPGs by introducing a self-admitted arbitrary obstacle

IIRC, the solution was equally silly-- a literal pencil eraser.

I remember the game having a lot of cheeky David Bowie references too. Starman is an obvious one as a recurrent character, and correctly figured that the fight with Carbon Dog wasn't going to end so easily.

Depends

Here in New Zealand we get 3-year old ex Japanese vehicles at about half new price
This is fantastic. I never noticed that's exactly how I interpret the total absence of appropriate punctuation. Bonus points if you ignore capitalization as well.

I saw some guide to Zoomer communication recently which talked about how ... is perceived as "aggressive", which blew my mind. Better to just stick to lowercase letters. (Autocorrect makes this a pain though - I had to go back and fix the capitalization of "is" in the last sentence.)
My favorite is "Leaving to spend more time with their family."
What happened to Sergio that had him fall off the face of the earth?
So this is probably indicative of a scandal of some sort right?
Between the long-term shortfall in new construction, the number of mortgage holders with rock bottom rates, and the number of homes owned free and clear, I don't see a big fall in prices as we saw in 2008-2010 anytime soon. Unemployment would have to be horrifically bad to dislodge current mortgage holders in numbers that could cause house prices to fall like back then.
I think this guy?

It's very true, you have to have a Twitter account otherwise it's really hard to tell what the heck is going on.
It strange - they could easily have done this with a different timeline and framed it as taking the company to the next level. Growing how fast they are definitely will require completely different leadership than when they were small.

Definitely smells of a scandal - why else would they need to get him out so quick?
Tax the billionaires. Tax the vacant real estate holdings at the high end. Tax short term rentals.
The only reason why an SUV is economical for me is I'm pillaging sedan and small car owners by making them pay my share.

...how?
If OpenAI’s governing board is part of the nonprofit, their obligations are to the goals of the nonprofit, and “thriving” is not fundamentally the goal.
Israel says it will allow limited deliveries of fuel to Gaza for aid needs
> ”Cars our LOUD. Even electric cars unfortunately”

While it might be true that there isn’t a huge difference at highway speeds, EVs can make a massive difference to noise levels on city streets! When cars are crawling along in city traffic, engine noise dominates.

As electric vehicles have started to become dominant on central London streets, this has been really noticeable. Sometimes I’ll see queues of cars waiting at intersections but notice how remarkably quiet it is - because they’re all EVs or hybrids! Other times, there’ll be one or two old diesel taxis in the mix and it really stands out how noisy they are in comparison.
Could we get a less vague title than "leadership transition" please?

The subheading of the article, minus unnecessary words, would be a big improvement:

Sam Altman departs OpenAI; interim replacement is CTO Mira Murati
This was so sudden I wondered if it was hacked/fake in some market manipulation attempt. I didn't see that coming...
Sure, if you like. I wasn't being judgmental. I was just telling the person what the word meant.
There were some sexual allegations popping out against him from his own sister, that he had SUPPOSEDLY abused her when they were kids or something. Again allegations are not proof! But I do wonder if they found anything more tangible on the record...
Translation: I've mastered the art of corporate BS speak and am willing to serve!
From the statement it sounds like the board is still committed to running the company in pursuit of the initial non-profit goals and the transition to a for profit status was because of legal limitations. Really surprising to see this.
Yes. The change is to the extension APIs used by Chromium, and thus Chrome, Edge etc.

Browser makers like Brave build the adblocker directly into the browser, so they don't have to care what extensions are and are not allowed to do on Chromium.
With the risk of sounding like a broken record, it's what Strong Towns bases their advocacy around: https://www.strongtowns.org/

There's also a overview of their stuff from Not Just Bikes, but these videos are somewhat hit or miss since his works have a tone which can come off as being condescending: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJp5q-R0lZ0_FCUbeVWK6...
> they keep postponing the CyberTruck
> CyberTruck also won't be in mass production

I'm not sure being an EV is the biggest hurdle for manufacturing that abomination. Tesla had troubles putting plastic panels together, so steel ones might be an issue. If they actually end up trying to manufacturing it at scale they'll end up having redesign it which will lead to significant delays.
Presumably soon "the CEO" will just be GPT6 in a trenchcoat anyway.
That's 420 years of the NIH budget. They lost FOUR CENTURIES worth of groundbreaking medical research. We have really eff-ed up priorities.

In other units that I'm known for, that's 550 Enrons.
Any examples? I felt the other way.
That's the "beginning of the start". We'll be "finished starting" when a market worthy demographic establishes itself as the "pro-AI may-as-well-be-religion" camp, disregard any official or scientific reasoning, and declare their own definition of what AI is, which they basically worship, but with enough words that they don't call it worship, they'll make up their own words, like they invented the idea of religion itself, but in a new AI understanding that is really their worshiping themselves. And they'll be enough of them they'll vote themselves into office.

AI's capabilities is too much for the general public to handle, and all bets should be recognized as "off". The "AI Age" is going to be a lot of misunderstanding, a lot of propaganda, some very visible out of control ambitions, and too little critical thinking. At least until the colossal attempts at large scale automation fail, killing millions.
That you, ChatGPT? You're hired!
Bad month for famous people named Sam
I spent a decade as a public library board member.

I saw every possible combination of anti-social behavior from the homeless that would encamp there. Many times I had to 'assist' asking someone to leave. The librarians _could_ have called the cops and had the violators permanently barred from re-entering but they would rarely do that.

It is 100% scaring away families and elderly.
What prior ML/AI experience does Sam have?
And yet there's still so much more... tactics rpgs like Final Fantasy Tactics or Disgaea, dungeon rpgs like Etrian Odyssey or Labyrinth of Touhou, or action rpgs like Seiken Densetsu 3 or Nier Automata.

Always debatable where "JRPG" ends and some other genre begins, of course, but the great part of the genre is how widely varied things can be.
This seems like a terrible decision by OpenAI. How does this benefit them?
For a company that's executing so well (at least from an outside perspective), shipping so fast, growing so fast, and so ahead of the curve in arguably the hottest segment of the tech market, at this moment, to do this right now, means this must be REALLY bad.
Can we have a pinned comment with all the facts at the top?
Its an improvement to you but a lost sales opportunity for the dealer.

Im surprised this isnt mentioned more, but dealers make a ton of money pressuring people who come in for maintenance to get a bunch of other stuff.

According to NADA in 202 49% of dealership profits came from the service and parts department, 36% from new vehicle sales, and 14% from used sales.

Service and parts averages 60-70% profit on the transactions.
Can someone explain how this works? My laptop synchronizes time by performing a network request to Microsoft's servers, but my laptop doesn't need microsecond accuracy.

In Amazon's case, a network request to synchronize time would take orders of magnitudes longer than microseconds. Is there specialized hardware involved? Or multiple requests to pin down the accuracy?
Oh wow, this is a huge surprise! As a user of ChatGPT, I've been very impressed with what I've seen and this has sent shockwaves through the computing industry. I'm disappointed to see him leave but I guess we need to wait to find out what the reason behind this was.
Ouch, this must have been a _very_ disagreeable departure, or the PR department had some really deep resentment towards Altman. I haven't seen such an abrupt and brutal announcement for quite a while.
Skynet's taking over...
Not sure that there can be any other interpretation based on my reading of it.
Whatever one can think of Musk's political orientation (I personally dislike it, his anti-wokism has become too extreme for my taste), if some Jewish organisations appear to engage in political activism of a specific kind, isn't it legitimate to criticise their political stances? Or should they be shielded from criticism because they're Jewish? Or should criticism be directed as towards no one in particular, to avoid mentioning their religious/ ethnic connotation?
That's before overtime, which the NYPD routinely abuses to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars annually[1].
