In an ideal world I'd choose stacks with not enough boilerplate to warrant copilot.

I had my share of auto generation with enterprise Java stacks, and tried as hard as I could to move to stacks where what we write is concise and relevant (rails is the closest I came to this, not perfect but clearly going in the right direction).

I think AI has its place, but I also hope to be lucky enough to not have to use it.

Illustrators might have similar issues, where some of them need to produce boilerplate drawings a lot, but I think they'd also prefer working on project that aren't that.

Ok, time to create an OpenAI drinking game. I'll start:

Every time OpenAI is on top of HN, drink.

Going from OpenAI to Microsoft means ceding the upside: nobody besides maybe Altman will make fuck-you money there.

I’m also not sure as some in Silicon Valley that this is antitrust proof. So moving to Microsoft not only means less upside, but also fun in depositions for a few years.
And from my reading of it, the GDPR agrees and the whole "Data or money" thing is actually not "freely given consent" and thus void. But sadly, the data protection officers are really dragging their feet here and don't bring this to the courts.
Might be because the big European publishing houses seem to all have adopted this strategy and they have a powerfull lobby. And just as facebook, most of them set ridiculous prices because they just want you to say yes to all data harvesting instead.

They did not expect Microsoft to take everything and walk away, and did not realize how little pull they actually had.

If you made a comment recently about de jure vs de facto power, step forward and collect your prize.
For Microsoft -- probably great, as they can now also get the people driving this.

This would have been a hostile move prior to the events that unfolded, but thanks to OpenAI's blunder, not only is this not a hostile move, it is a very prudent move from a risk management perspective. Forced Microsoft's hand, and what not.
Altman was fired because people who want to slow the progress of AI orchestrated his firing.

Whether or not he works at the company is symbolic and indicative of who is in charge: the people who want to slow AI progress, or the people who want to speed it up.

If this was never true, that’s on the OpenAI team that misled their engineers

Their job postings even specifically mention “generous equity” - again if there is no equity in the contract - that’s OpenAI misleading its recruits

For what it's worth, CC-NC is not akin to the GPL, at all.

The GPL says “you can sell this if you want, but whoever you sell it to can still do whatever they want with it, subject to the same terms.”

CC-NC says “you can't do whatever you want with this”

Which isn't to say that you're wrong to use whatever license you like, just that it's very much not similar in spirit to the GPL. Protecting the right of others to make derivatives of the thing being licensed is, in fact, the entire point of the license.
At this point either pretty much all the speculation here and on Twitter was wrong, or they've threatened to kneecap him.

The shame of those CVE is that it created a split in the rust community between chrono and time. For a time it looked like people were all moving to time (which handling on TZ is a bit stupid IMO since it just refuses to work if there is more than one thread). But with chrono 0.4 now things are stale and there is no clear winner anymore.

I would argue that those splits are in great part responsible for the feeling that rust is hard to learn. I remember to have had to dig into pretty complex time code to understand why it broke our program that relied on timezone when we switched from chrono to time. It hinders your productivity for sure even if you learn the how.
OpenAI was guaranteed to be profitable, extremely so, if they just continued down the path Sam layed out like a week ago.

Now its guaranteed to generate 0 profits, so all that 'profit share/pseudoequity' is worth nothing.
What you’ve highlighted is that you’re having a different discussion than the OP. That post specifically said there are use cases where NCAs protect IP. You highlighting when they are used elsewhere doesn’t negate that point. And there are significant cases on the news where an employee steals trade secrets and takes them to a competitor (see Levandowski among others). It comes across like you have an axe to grind rather than making a thoughtful point.

In hindsight firing Sam was a self-destructing gamble by the OpenAI board. Initially it seemed Sam may have committed some inexcusable financial crime but doesn't look so anymore.

Irony is that if a significant portion of OpenAI staff opt to join Microsoft, then Microsoft essentially killed their own $13B investment in OpenAI earlier this year. Better than acquiring for $80B+ I suppose.
The great drama of our time (this week)
Presumably some will resign and some won't. They aren't going to get 550 people to make a hard commitment to resign, especially when presumably few concrete contracts have been offered by MSFT.

If the only important information in the book was its main point, it wouldn't have needed to be a book. It could have been a leaflet. Or a bumper sticker - those can be very catchy.

From The Verge [1]:

> Swisher reports that there are currently 700 employees as OpenAI and that more signatures are still being added to the letter. The letter appears to have been written before the events of last night, suggesting it has been circulating since closer to Altman’s firing. It also means that it may be too late for OpenAI’s board to act on the memo’s demands, if they even wished to do so.

So, 3/4 of the current board (excluding Ilya) held on despite this letter?

I have bad news for you. They basically elected a right-wing shock-jock President. This is like if Americans elected Tucker Carlson. I mean, I get that Argentina couldn't survive another Peronist, but this is not better.

The final outcome could be okay if dollarization happens - I do agree with economists that dollarization would probably be good for AR... the rest of his other "platform" planks aren't so rosy, and MAGA extremists aren't known for restricting their scope.
How would that work, economically?

I have been writing JavaScript since JS has existed, and the One Weird Trick I learned to working with JS’s OO system is to use it as little as possible. Don’t get me wrong, objects are wonderful, but you don’t need JS’s barking insane semantics around “this” when static closures work fantastically. It’s not even the prototype model that I’m talking about, it’s having to do things like foo.bar.bind(foo) or having to know that an event handler will re-bind “this” and so on. The Vue and React communities have caught on to this, and writing code for those is so much more pleasant now that there are fewer land mines like that to step on.

There's definitely more to this than just Ilya vs Sam.
Even if the board resigns the damage has been done. They should try to secure good offers at Microsoft.

The stakes being heightened only decreases the likelihood the OpenAI profit sharing will be worth anything, only increasing the stakes further…

Want more? Sam Altman quoted Ilya's tweet with hearts...
Wow, lots of drama and plot twists for the writers of the Netflix mini-series.
What a shitshow! What is going on in this company? I am sure Sam did something wrong, but the board took advantage of it and went overboard then? We don’t know anything that happened and we are all somehow participating in this drama? At this point why don’t they all come out and tweet their versions of it?
Can anyone explain this?

“Remarkably, the letter’s signees include Ilya Sutskever, the company’s chief scientist and a member of its board, who has been blamed for coordinating the boardroom coup against Altman in the first place.”
Plot twist:

If it comes to that, I reckon Emmett will have his former boss Andy Jassy merge whatever's left of OpenAI into AWS. Unlikely though, as reconciliation seems very much a possibility.

Text doesn't convey emotions, and our empathy doesn't work well for emotions we have never experienced. You can see a guy that got kicked in the balls got hurt, but that doesn't mean you are prepared to endure the pain of getting kicked in your balls or that you even understand how painful it is.

Also watching politicians it looks like you can just brush it off, because that is what they do. But that requires a lot of experience, not anyone can do it, it is like watching a boxing match and think you can easily stand after a hard punch in your stomach.

It depends on who your main source of info is. Right wing media will only cover BLM protests when they turn violent. Left wing media will only cover BLM protests when they are peaceful.
So essentially, OpenAI is a sinking ship as long as the board members go ahead with their new CEO and Sam, Greg are not returning.

Microsoft can absorb all the employees and switch them into the new AI subsidiary which basically is an acqui-hire without buying out everyone else's shares and making a new DeepMind / OpenAI research division inside of the company.

So all along it was a long winded side-step into having a new AI division without all the regulatory headaches of a formal acquisition.
Pretty sure Apple does something similar with iTunes on Windows. It's amazing how slow the UI is in general and how poorly the Movie watching experience is with it being incredibly slow to seek or take any inputs while playing a video.

Well, we don't know.

What we do know, is that the "coordinating the boardroom coup against Altman" is a rumor and speculation about a thing we don't know anything about.
What? Greed is the backbone of our startup landscape. As soon as you get VC backing all anyone cares about is a big payday. This is interesting because there is something going on beyond the typical pure greed shitshow.

Perhaps it was just that original intention for openai to be a nonprofit, but at some point somewhere it wasn't pure $ and that's what makes it interesting. Also more tragic because now it looks like it's heading straight to a for profit company one way or another.
Yea, check out his presentations on YT. Incredible talent.

What strikes me is that he wrote the regretful participation tweet after witnessing the blowback. He should have written it right with the initial news. And clearly explain employees. This is not a smart way to conduct board oversight.

500 employees are not happy. I’m siding with the employees (esp early hires), they deserve to be part of once in a lifetime company like OpenAI after working there for years.
Fossils Are Shaped by People. Does That Matter?

> Microsoft is going to come out of this better than anyone

Exactly. I'm curious about how much of this was planned vs emergent. I doubt it was all planned: it would take an extraordinary mind to foresee all the possible twists.

Equally, it's not entirely unpredictable. MS is the easiest to read: their moves to date have been really clear in wanting to be the primary commercial beneficiary of OAI's work.

OAI itself is less transpararent from the outside. There's a tension between the "humanity first" mantra that drove its inception, and the increasingly "commercial exploitation first" line that Altman was evidently driving.

As things stand, the outcome is pretty clear: if the choice was between humanity and commercial gain, the latter appears to have won.
What is artcasting?
And that he might be the least incompetent of them all.
Ilya is one of 490 employees that just threatened to leave OpenAI unless the board resigns:

https://www.wired.com/story/openai-staff-walk-protest-sam-al...

Looks like he wasn't instrumental in the actions of the board.
Its far more likely that Microsoft is just trying to salvage their investment in the most direct way possible. It doesn’t make sense for them to take this risk absent recent events.

They tried pressuring the board according to the rumors over the weekend. That didn’t work; now they are providing a home for the people that were going to leave OpenAI over this.

If they are smart they will honor the 10B deal as well and continue funding OpenAI. This way they will get the benefit of both teams and maybe even a bit more now that they will be competing.
I think the board needs to come clean on why they fired Sam Altman if they are going to weather this storm.
> 100% still bugged af

That isn't necessarily a problem. The primary purpose of your tests is to document the API. As long as someone is able to determine what the function is for, and how it is meant to be used, along with other intents and information the author needs to convey to users of the API, the goal is met.

However, I don't see how the given test actually helps document anything, so it is not a good example in the slightest. 100% coverage doesn't indicate that you did a good job, but if there are code paths not touched then you know you screwed up your documenting big time.
I was looking down the list and then saw Ilya. Just when you think this whole ordeal can't get any more insane.

The regulators aren’t clear about what to worry about, yet. The EU is more worried about surveillance-aware development. Biden’s Bill of Rights doesn’t even mention weapons.

The weapon in question is AI trained on all known cybersecurity vulns, plus an agent which can craft packets. One defense is to work to isolate systems to lower impact and lateral movement, expecting it to work like ransomware. Another defense is to slow down training at the overall chip level, expecting waves of development in which humans might timidly produce AI useful to defense before producing another one that’s devastating.

Restricting access to massively parallel compute is part of planning for the latter. Slow down development if you can, but keep control of compute so that you can train a more-powerful AI to attack existing AI coordination.
