These Deep Learning (and ML) courses are turning into the equivalent of productivity tools. Many are very high quality but won't turn you into a ML/DL expert. The core issue is you need to be spend the time to complete, learn and apply in your own settings. That internal drive is something beyond what these can do and that's the crux of the issue. People keep hoping some magic course will do it for them, but just like the productivity tools, there is no golden or silver bullet. Good old fashioned sit on your butt and do the work ;-).
I think mpv specifically just uses youtube-dl or simliar (yt-dlp), so it should be very simliar to whatever you download.
> regular employees have non-competes in their contracts (sometimes void/illegal, depending on the local jurisdiction)

Non-competes mostly have an effective after period, so Altman's situation is a bit more akin to my companies "only job" policy. It means I can't have a side hustle or alternative means of making money. Enforceable or not, while you're employed you can be fired for anything.

That is what they said, but it is inaccurate

So a number without a timezone is seconds since epoch in UTC

That is "default" not naive

I see how some of his tweets could come across as crank-ish if you don't have a background in AI alignment. AI alignment is sort of like computer security in the sense that you're trying to guard against the unknown. If there was a way to push a button which told you the biggest security flaw in the software you're writing, then the task of writing secure software would be far easier. But instead we have to assume the existence of bugs, and apply principles like defense-in-depth and least privilege to mitigate whatever exploits may exist.

In the same way, much of AI alignment consists of thinking about hypothetical failure modes of advanced AI systems and how to mitigate them. I think this specific paper is especially useful for understanding the technical background that motivates Eliezer's tweeting: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.01820.pdf

Yeah, both None and UTC are singletons so there should be exactly 0 difference in memory usage between a datetime with tzinfo=None or tzinfo=UTC.

It’s also worth noting that employers are required to pay final wages — including unused PTO — within 72-hours of your final final shift.

So, the power move in response to such an employer would be to say you are quitting effective immediately and you expect your final check, including unused PTO, to be mailed out within 72-hours.

Perhaps off topic: if I go to sleep at 10pm (something I never do, except if I have to wake up very early for whatever reason) and wake up at 6am, I feel like crap. Very sleepy and it takes me a couple of hours to be fully awake. Those 8h don’t feel the same as when I sleep from 1am to 9am, for example (my regular sleeping time).
Krstic and Federighi are acting as if Apple was able to effectively protect users from malware (which is wrong), and as if no entity was going to be able to afford the same level of curation (which is hubristic.)

Just let the user decide for fuck's sake. They paid for the hardware. Give them the freedom to choose and run whatever software they want already.

I spent way too many years locked into Apple's ecosystem. Finally managed to switch to Linux (PureOS) this year, never going back.

btw, this is only controversial because the board chose to make it controversial

there is nothing “worse” about it because OpenAI is a non-profit and would likely contract with this venture

the regulations against this kind of thing simply require

A) disclosure, for potential future donors

B) low thresholds of ownership to avoid self dealing regulations, which all VC backed companies are compliant with due to share dilution

the secret behind quick impressive fundraises that launder founder’s reputations into legendary status is that their non profits are investors as the “friends and family” or “lead investor”, and then outside investors follow suit and that reduces the non profit and the founder’s ownership percentages below noncompliant levels.

(This isn’t really a game that people can organically play. You either have deep pools of capital you control, or you don’t.)
There was another AI start-up, one backed / supported by various conservative politians from Germany and Austria thatvdid the same thing, hiring people to look busy when customers (bad) and investors (a lot worse) showed up at the offices: Augustus Intelligence.

At best, this is fake it till you make it. At worst, it is fraud. The tiny, tiny differce is whether that next investor shows up or not. Just ask FTX.

I do not respect people resorting to that kind of thing.

Because for USB-A, the part that wears down is in the port, while for USB-C it's in the plug.

Have you tried that yourself, a statistically significant number of times?
It should be pretty easy to make training data for TTS. The Whisper STT models are open so just chop up a ton of audio and use Whisper to annotate it, then train the other direction to produce audio from text. So you’re basically inverting Whisper.
Having lived in Palma I can confirm that this is indeed a decent way to avoid the two nightmare tourist areas (and not just a population density, as the central Palma area would be larger).

I like this idea for proxy maps. Do the same for London with American candy stores
Fun read, but sad in a way.

The infrastructure and people that 'back end' your organization have value. This is intuitively true, but for the folks who are customer facing (and often senior management) there is often a minimization of that value.

Open source really cut the cost of that back end, and reinforced the uninformed opinion that this stuff wasn't worth all that much.

Once you're tied to a platform, because it's "cost effective", that platform can then say, "Okay, now it's time to start charging you for the real value we provide." That leaves the operations folks going to management saying "Hey our costs are going way up, kthxbye" And usually starts an uncomfortable education cycle where the real cost of running the business gets penciled out. Sometimes it kills companies.

The <thing><as a service> provider gets to set pretty much an arbitrary price on their value.

If you have followed the saga of Music you know that the "labels" who hold all the copyrights (generally) always win at keeping all the money for themselves and thus kill business after business that would help the artists. This as-a-service(AAS) companies can do the same thing. It's one of the interesting things for me about 0xide and making 'on prem' a thing again.

It feels like another shift is coming and this is a preview of what the motivations for the shift will be.

And lastly I'm not a fan of AI generated illustrations in a blog post.

But I think the 'someone else' would be in competition with MS, as opposed to OpenAI who was pretty much domesticated in terms of where the profit would go.
>it has worked out.

Hardly. This is actually kind of insanely tone-deaf statement to make. People have uprooted their lives, spent lots of their wealth in expensive real-estate markets due to artificial demand, given up time with their families, etc etc.

Saying it's "worked out" is a really bland dismissal of the entire conversation.
Alternatively, the board is up against someone who is very good at spinning any story in their favor. They could come off as amateurish when they're up against someone as charismatic as Sam Altman, but it's unlikely that very many boards could have done better given the circumstances.

The thing is, subscribing to that file is usually just one click in a list of lists to chose from in common adblockers. Functionally (for Webbrowsers) it's the same, just on another layer. While adblockers (in Webrowsers) can do more, which isn't possible with hosts-style blocking alone.

So host-based blocking alone could be considered as just an 'emergency wheel' in case you'd had a flat, or something.

Agreed--this is why I've got an office at home, and it's bigger and better-appointed than any company would ever allocate to me, with a better desk and a better chair (when I use it, because that better desk lets me stand).

Hi HN!

I got inspired by a submission a couple of weeks ago about finding services companies via their TXT records (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38066034) and decided to build a free tool!

Enterprise Tech Stacks lets you easily explore how the top 50k websites in the world are using over 200 web services, such as DocuSign, Miro, and Ahrefs. You can export results to Excel/CSV. Hopefully it can be useful for market/competitor research or finding B2B leads.

Our family went through the same thing with a budget Celeron "MDG" computer running Windows 98. Awful. Keep in mind that, like you, I had previously used a IIsi and an LC630, so I figured... 300MHz, must be amazing?!?

At some point later, my high school had surplus Powermac 7500/100s that were gifted from Nortel and I managed to snag one, paired it with a USR 56k external modem and it was a million times better than that Celeron econobox.
This is tangential to an idea I have been pondering for almost a decade. I had a thought experiment of a Pharaoh on a procession exactly like the one described in this article. As the Pharaoh is carried in a litter on the shoulders of servants the entire population lines the streets and bows to the Pharaoh as he passes.

I thought about: why does each person bow? Maybe some bow because they are scared of the soldiers. Maybe some bow because they want to look like a good citizen. Maybe some bow because they believe the Pharaoh is a literal God. That is, everyone bows for a different reason. The idea that stands out to me is that the Pharaoh doesn't care why any individual bows. The collective effect of each person bowing is somehow independent from the individual reasons for each person to bow.

To me, this strikes at a slightly deeper meaning than "common knowledge". Because the knowledge isn't collective in one sense (I don't know the reasons my neighbors are bowing) but it is collective in another sense (we are all participating in the worship of a single figure).

I love it how when a CEO runs 7 companies at once, he's seen as a titan of tech, master of multitasking, hulk of hustle. Everyone is in awe and points to him as an example of awesomeness. But if I, a worker bee, were to get a second full-time job as software engineer at TechCompany2 unrelated to the work of my TechCompany1, I would be a traitor, disloyal, distracted, double dipping, deserving of being fired.

What a double standard.
He dropped out of Stanford after the first year and started Loopt, a location-based social media startup.

What's wrong with that?

YouTube was free even if you do mind ads, on purpose. To a first approximation everyone minds ads. YouTube used this fact to establish their dominance before switching tactics.

Lots of competitors have tried to use both paid accounts and ad-funding. What competitor I might prefer is irrelevant here, but there are plenty of them, just Google YouTube competitors. Vimeo is a good example of a site with high quality content and a more sustainable business model that tried for a while and was unable to broach the same market. YouTube so far surpassed everyone by offering videos without ads until more recently, in order to gain market share. The mindset you’re currently arguing against was established and curated and encouraged by YouTube, and they’re still hoping you hang on to it while they keep cranking up the amount of advertising and trying to normalize the bogus idea that avoiding ads is somehow bad. They do not have to offer an ad-funded business model, so if they don’t like the cat-and-mouse adblocker game, they can switch to paid accounts only.

It’s perfectly fine to block ads, because it’s perfectly fine to ignore ads we didn’t ask for. You can fast-forward or turn the volume down manually, just like you can write software to automate it. As a society, we wouldn’t have it any other way. We’ve had this same debate over VHS and DVD warnings & trailers, over TV and cable ads, over radio ads, and over general internet website ads. It will never change because advertisers are not allowed to force us to watch ads, as much as they’d like to.

I'd say that the mistake was failing to announce the conflict of interest in the memo, if it actually exists. Announcing it on a Friday was also a mistake, but there might be one or two circumstances where delaying the announcement could cause greater harm to OpenAI, should a conflict of interest be present. Other than that, no one will care about this in a month.

There's one advantage of foo.bar calling a function, it works well with referential transparency. Whether it's a property/value or function, only the result matters. I can't say it's a big difference though, I've only been mildly annoyed by having to change all call-sites when changing between them. Other languages allow code bodies for getters/setters (foo.bar = ...) so it still hides the call. For a C-style syntax language having the () seems less surprising.

This is my take, Altman was fired because there was no other choice. OpenAIs charter is fundamentally incompatible with the hypercapitalist model and its believers. I'm sure the board tried to dissuade Sam from going certain path, but being an SV capitalist, there was no way to dissuade him. Given his own level of power and what I think was a superior hand, he ignored the board. At the point, the board really only had one move left, which was to fire him. I don't think it was the wrong move for the board, but they way it was done it really the big issue here.
It’s true that authZ requires a lot of customization. In my experience, though, authN is the harder one to implement when there is no existing infra to support it. How do we store and distribute credentials? How do we allow user-defined identities? How do we implement session keys? How do we scale out the authN layer? If we decide to use certs for authN, how do we manage certs lifecycle? The list is long.
It doesn’t…

The problem is that unless the data are credible and reliable, any interpretation of that data is meaningless. For or against one’s hypotheses doesn’t matter if the data is junk. If the data is junk you can’t move past that, it’s the end of the conversation because the data has no meaning.

> The world is not /primarily/ designed to rip off tourist.

In my experiences with traveling to a great number of countries and cities... yes, it pretty much is.

Taking any kind of "easiest path" tourism is basically full of rip-offs in every hotel, restaurant, and tour, no matter where you are.

It takes effort to plan a genuinely enjoyable trip full of rich experiences that isn't ripping you off.

Also, it doesn't seem to be a population map at all -- that distribution is quite different:

Look at Figure 2C in particular. The hazard ratio of smoking is 1.41. The hazard ratio between "Low" (<25th percentile) and "Below Average" (25th-49th percentile) cardiovascular health is 1.95.

In other words, it is by far better to be a smoker than in the lower 25% of non-exercisers.
