There are imperfections from the factory in every car. Welds were done by hand in 1976. Repairs were done by hand. I wonder what improbable similarities the 2 cars could have.
If they are the primary maintainer of <foo> then that's no different than building it in house and it becomes "open source" in the way that Android is, where they throw the code over the wall once a in a while but don't develop it in public. This only helps them in the sense that it prevents a competing ecosystem, by making the one they control free-as-in-beer. But that is something they do, not something you do. Whether or not you produce some other free software yourself isn't going to change it.

If they're using some common community-developed free software, that's good, because they contribute to it without controlling it, and then anyone else can use it too and it's one less component of the stack that someone else has to build or buy in order to compete with them.
Looking at the innovation of the former and the lack thereof of the latter, it sure seems that way. Even after almost half a century, Microsoft still endures.
It’s very easy to hit absurd “moral” limits on chatgpt for the most stupid things.

Earlier I was looking for “a phrase that is used as an insult for someone who writes with too much rambling” and all I got was some bullshit about how it’s sorry but it can’t do that because it’s allegedly against its OpenAI rules.

So I asked again “a phrase negatively used to mean someone that writes too much while rambling” and it worked.

I simply cannot be bothered to deal with stupid insipid “corporate friendly language” and other dumb restrictions.

Imagine having a real conversation with someone and they freaked out any time anything negative was discussed?

> It's frustrating to continue to see both the level of genuinely well-intentioned work that the public is unfairly (and often viciously) critical of the motives of, and also the (at this point) complete absence of concern for the user, the long term, and the company culture at the highest levels of Google.

Criticism of Google stems exactly from the culture shift, us customers (even more the tech savvy ones) noticed pretty clearly when that shift started to happen, when we felt betrayed by believing in old-Google. The erosion of this trust fostered the cynicism, the vicious criticism veil was cast over any action that looked, at a glance, somewhat malicious.

How could we tell if it wasn't malicious? I definitely can't anymore.

Google 2005 had almost my complete trust, Google 2015 much less, Google 2023 is the one I've been actively moving away from, closing accounts, including letting go my GMail account from 2004 with a handle that's basically my name.

I have this same problem with a lot of review culture at many companies. Turns out, if you send people into a meeting with the idea that they will be criticizing something, they will find criticisms. The hard part is distinguishing things that need changing, versus musings that are as much evidence that the team was looking.
Yes, but treaties are still subjugate to the Constitution. Congress isn't authorized to violate the constitution, amd thetefore isn't authorized to enter into treaties which would do so.
Tech started to have a vision problem the moment big money (and people with big money) entered the picture and started calling the shots. Sundar, Jassy, Satya, Tim Cook are all cut from the same cloth. Their job is to appease the shareholders and not much else.

Zuckerberg is probably the only founder/majority shareholder still involved in the weeds of running his ~trillion dollar company day to day and executing his vision, and you have to give him kudos for that. He could easily go buy multiple countries instead and live out his life with a lot less stress.
The NAND flash manufacturers usually have no software involvement unless they are in the business of also selling SSD controller SoCs. They will typically sell FDKs/SDKs that are heaping piles of garbage written overseas for their SoCs that provide minimum functionality for interfacing with all of the components.

I wouldn't really expect controller-less NAND flash to ever meaningfully compete with what we have now. There is a lot more specialized hardware in a typical SoC than just a microprocessor and NAND flash chips
Having been involved in a few legal battles over the decades I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt, that nobody on the outside of a trial has a clue or a valid opinion at all. That includes me, of course.

This is why courts and lawsuits are about. The evidence has to be presented with sufficient detail and clarity for a legal conclusion to be reached. Nothing else anyone says matters at all.

My comments on this are very simple:

If anyone is going to comment, at least read the court filing.

Understand that groups like Media Matters and the media have been in the business of search-and-destroy-at-all-costs for years. These are not wholesome organizations. They are violent organizations, with their violence taking the form of the indiscriminate destruction of anyone who does not align with a certain narrative.

Am I biased? Of course! Because I know exactly what the blind support of these kinds of nefarious actors can do to a society and the nation. Just go down the list of Latin American (LATAM) countries for examples of just how ugly things can get.

I know the HN crowd can be deeply ideologically aligned with these leftist organizations. So be it. If nobody here presents contrast there's a zero percent probability of anyone actually thinking and realizing that what has been pounded into their brains is a ridiculous destructive fantasy.

Do we have to get to total societal destruction and 40% unemployment before people wake up and understand? I hope not. Coming back from that is almost impossible. Again, look at LATAM.

I have always referred to LATAM as "the time machine for the US". Everything that is happening here has already happened in LATAM a million different ways as far back as decades ago. We know, without any doubt, how this ends. And it isn't good.

So, no, Media Matters, their inner and outer circles are not organizations dedicated to improving society. Not even close. They exist to destroy whatever and whoever they tag as the opposition.

In some ways this is analog to the idea of finding obscure bugs in software.

One approach is to do the work, explore very rare corner cases, privately contact the company to make them aware of it so they can fix it before it becomes public knowledge. That is constructive and useful for society.

The other approach is to immediately take the information public and use it to try to destroy the company, product and people as well as their reputation to the extent possible. That is not useful to society at all.

We need to stop this nonsense or we are going to become victims of our own stupidity. I don't know how else to say it.

You have in Elon Musk who has been dedicated to advancing society with everything he touches. Instead of embracing his work and helping push it forward, you have political/ideological activists and organizations dedicated to nothing less than destroying him and his work.

How the hell is this good for society? What is left if we don't have anyone like him left in this society? I can name a few countries where this is the case. It ain't pretty. Wake the fuck up!
I replaced a 16GB Intel MacBook Pro with an 8GB refurb M1 Air and regretted it within weeks. (Due to the initial claims about M1 using less memory and that the M1 destroyed my Intel's Javascript performance.)

Turns out that my 8GB machine would slow down significantly when hitting the RAM limit. This was expecially noticeable when running Final Cut Pro (almost unusable) or Photo Mechanic + Photoshop (I'd have to quit one to run the other). I tolerated this situation until the M2 Airs came out and I maxed it to 24GB RAM, and have been beyond happy with it since then!

My partner now has my 8GB M1 and it works perfectly for her.
Really cool to see these issues are on the roadmap.

I remain skeptical on timeline for these but if the plans speed up dev time work out, then this is great news.
But is this really a solid fact? PG did not comment on it and all the other sources are anonymous.
> Pretty easy to complain about lack of morals when it’s someone else’s millions of dollars of potential compensation that will be incinerated.

That is a part of the reason why organizations choose to set themselves up as a non-profit, to help codify those morals into the legal status of the organization to ensure that the ingrained selfishness that exists in all of us doesn’t overtake their mission. That is the heart of this whole controversy. If OpenAI was never a non-profit, there wouldn’t be any issue here because they wouldn’t even be having this legal and ethical fight. They would just be pursuing the selfish path like all other for profit businesses and there would be no room for the board to fire or even really criticize Sam.
This is fantastic. I think it could come in really handy with some paint mixing ideas I've had for my pen plotter.

EU is part of Nato. US gave protection to EU if they protect US against it’s enemies. It all has to do with war. With NATO US can bully anyone and EU can feel protected. All wars are for power. All wars consist of alliances between nations. That is the new world order. Not some /r/conspiracy bs but straight military power and nukes. US plays games with countries to get best outcome as it a nations goals. Right now India will not bend the knee as Modi won’t sell out the country and give in to US. US is playing long game by being friendly with both China and India. China wants territory India has as per all the border skirmishes going on as per the 5 fingers of Mao. Instead of US telling China fuck off they play both sides in hopes of leveraging a situation to get military alliance. Through military alliance they can get the best economic deals, use the country up, and move on to next while adding another powerful ally to their list. You are doing too much analysis and not understanding the mechanisms of power which is simply military strategy and alliances. It is about who your friends are.

As someone said above in the thread, segfaults is what you get if you're lucky. If you're unlucky, you get silent memory corruption that you will eventually notice through bugs popping up in seemingly unrelated parts of code.
I can think of just two examples in western history: Late Bronze Age collapse and the decline of Rome. Current scholarly belief is that both are the result of not well documented (being prehistorical) immigration pressures due to conquest at the fringe of empire, and/or a climate induced famine double-whammy. The idea of “internal societal collapse” has fallen out of favor.

Nobody needs or cares about the "real" document. It's a MacGuffin at this point.

Slightly above that comment is this line:

> Much of these problems with Google today stem from a lack of visionary leadership from Sundar Pichai, and his clear lack of interest in maintaining the cultural norms of early Google.

I've been calling that out for years as it is obvious from the outside: Pichai is not a leader but a care taker. He has no vision that anyone can seem to articulate. And apparently he's restructured the company to not have any people reporting to him that have one either. Shocking to get some inside confirmation of what is clear to see from the outside.

I was reading Hixie's blog when he was working on WhatWG. He was one of the main authors of the HTML 5 spec. Always had great respect for how he communicated. Him being this explicit is a message in itself. He was juggling highly opinionated people arguing all sorts of things when he was writing that spec. Part of the reason why that worked was his pragmatism and ability to stay calm. This is a really strongly worded message and people at Google and in their board would do well to take note of it and take action.

My recommendation: time for some leadership changes. Doing more of the same isn't going to work. Do it more smartly than OpenAI. But don't wait.

The only Tesla scored on autonomous assist features by NCAP was a 2020 Model 3 and it scored pretty poorly.

You can look it up below just select Tesla as Make:

What you are referring to is safety rating, which nobody is disputing, however, it did not prove "vision" superior. The car is safe for sure but it wasn't because of vision but of structure.
I usually skip generations. I bought an M2 a couple months ago. Waiting for sure and largely ignoring the M3 hype. I don’t need to care, so I spend roughly half as much time consuming tech hype as I used to, and spend that extra time reading or touching grass.

> Autopilot = radar cruise and lake keep?

That and user driven lane change automation. (fully automatic lane changes for navigation or speed management is apparently in beta based on Tesla's online manual [1]).

IMHO, that's kind of the root of the problem. As individual features, it's not super exciting, but when you call it autopilot, people think it does more than it does (which is fairly true of airplane autopilot as well).

> Government-funded cooperative breeding is one solution.

So the author sees the shrinking of the next generation as a problem to be solved, with less individualism. But is the shrinking of human population and environmental impact a bug or a feature? This essay is an argument for individualism for environmentalists.
I also noticed the bit about offering career advice to people in Google, but I found it odd for a different reason. How can someone who's spent 18 years of their career (and I'm guessing, almost all of it) at Google possibly be qualified to give career advice? They can give excellent advice for working at Google. But if they haven't left the company in 18 years, then surely they don't have the experience to give useful career advice that isn't at least heavily biased toward the idiosyncrasies of their one job. Even if they had a decade of experience prior to Google, how useful is pre-2005 career advice now?

That's not to say the author couldn't give valuable advice, especially in more generalized areas like the craft of programming, or even navigating office politics. It's just that any advice will inevitably be specific to Google. It seems strange to offer career advice when you've not had a "career" per se - more like you've had one really long job.

And who's asking him for this advice? Did people get wind that he might be looking for other jobs, and so he became the "career guy?" If so, that's a revealing insight into the culture at Google, evocative of flock animals asking their least risk averse member what he saw on his adventure beyond the paddock...
Yeah that’s what I don’t understand, what is the incentive to preserve the culture?

> I mean, Rust is fast and secure and makes my software "unhackable" for the price of a bit slower development? Seems like an obvious choice then.

Something being written in Rust doesn't mean it's unhackable. It lowers the likelihood of memory safety errors to the point of them being negligible, and a lot libraries will have APIs that encourage correct usage by default. But your application can still have a bug, and that big can still be exploitable. For example, if you're making a file transfer application where the sender has control over the path to be written, and you don't make an explicit check for path traversal on the receiver, a malicious sender can overwrite any file the receiver process has write access to in the entire filesystem. Rust didn't protect you there from an exploitable bug. You could make an API where that won't happen unless you opt into arbitrary path traversal, but that is not what most libraries, including std, do.

I don't say this to mean "Rust bad", but rather "don't be mislead by imprecise language about what Rust gives you". You can write bugs in any language. The extent of the blast radius is different per language.
You do say hard drive but you also imply that permission to store cookies is as good as permission to mine cryptocurrency simply because the user allowed access to storage.

The argument these other commenters are trying to make hinges on the idea that the type of storage for cookies wouldn't work that well for crypto mining.

You're calling that argument nonsequitor and I don't think it is. It's immediately applicable to explaining the gap in your reasoning. That gap, for the record, being Cookies Storage == Crypto Mining.

Finally, let me give an example. "I own my house and my land so therefore I'm a sovereign citizen." That's a bad argument for largely the same reasons.
> While Rocket is still in the 0.x phase, the version number is purely a stylistic choice.

> If you're coming from a different ecosystem, you should feel comfortable considering Rocket's v0.x as someone else's vx.0.

I didn't think there were libraries in the Rust world that objected semver. It seemed quite ubiquitous since it's built into Cargo. Very disappointing.

Clay is very malleable and has all sorts of wonderful properties. As a building material it has fundamental limitations as it’s less suited for tensile loads.

It’s funny, because you can continue the analogy and compare optionally typed languages (like TypeScript) to adding wood/rebar to a brick building, allowing it to go vertical.

A good example: the Chrysler building sports 3 million specially made bricks for its facade. By blending both materials, you receive the thermal and maintenance benefits of brick with structural integrity of steel.
There are a few other active projects porting weather, ocean, and climate models to Julia, C++, or Python.

Getting a weather or climate model from zero to production grade requires approximately 100 person-years, or $20M (personal experience). Because of extremely high scientific expertise needed to correctly implement such models, it's more difficult to leverage open source contributions from a broader community, like it is with web or ML frameworks. So most of the development in these projects is done by full-time hires, and to a lesser extent by contributions from early adopters.

The key technical arguments that I hear/read for such transition projects are ease of portability to accelerators (e.g. GPUs), and higher availability of programmers in the workforce.

My intuition is that a $20M budget, if carefully allocated to compiler and hardware accelerator teams, could solve running Fortran on any accelerator in its entirety.

With Fortran's tooling and compiler support for offloading standard Fortran to accelerators slowly but surely improving over time, the rationale for porting to other languages becomes increasingly more questionable and is being revisited.

But regardless of technical arguments, it's a good thing for large models and frameworks to be written and explored in diverse programming languages.
