Realistically, I think you're more hitting up on how to convey, than what the actual is. Probably this should be more dynamic, where different audiences receive the same, but differently phrased message.

Here's an example. Discrimination. Here's a factual phrase: women are less intelligent than men. That's not discriminatory, what is discriminatory, is if I use a minor deviation in averages, to look at $random_woman, and presume she is less intelligent than $random_man.

For example, there are many women that are more intelligent than many men.

My point is, we've had to "dumb down" discrimination, by trying to claim, in many respects, there there is absolutely no difference between men and women. This has led to detrimental outcomes for women, a key example being that as most medical volunteers are men, many models of the brain are predicated upon the male, and therefore? As people say "why, there's no difference between the male and female brain!", it has actually harmed women's outcomes.

I am concerned about the parallel here. That the more we lump things into mega-categories, the more positive outcomes for nuanced groups is lost. And that means that the best solutions may be unavailable, for if they cannot be applied to "overall group", then they may be deemed useless.

I know you're not advocating any of this. And I know your goal is to just ensure people fully understand the risks.

But my point is, much as the fight against discrimination has been whittled down to "there is no difference!", because the stupids cannot understand nuance, you seem to be in a trap of having to whittle down to no-nuance, for the same reasons.

Which is sad.
I know people are innocent until proven guilty but it does seem rather bizarre also that he's had literally 0 media scrutiny / never been asked about (to my knowledge) the fact his own sister claims he abused her for years when they were young.
This is very true its the unintended consequences of engineering that cause the most harm and are most often covered up. I always think of the example of the hand dryer that can't detect black peoples hands and how easy it is for a non racist engineer to make a racism machine. AI safety putting its focus on the what if it decides to do a genocide is kind of silly, its like worrying about nukes while you give out assault riffles and napalm to kids.

It's probably a bit better than React, Vue, and other FE stacks which have had large, fundamental changes as well.

E.g. React Hooks, Next.js 12 to Next.js 13, Vue 2 Options -> Vue 3 Composition, etc. NPM is a whole other issue.

The one constant in FE is JavaScript and now TypeScript. Likewise, the one constant with .NET's FE stacks is C# which has remained quite stable and in many ways influencing JS and TS. C# had had async/await and Lambda expressions before JS (not clear not me how much effect Microsoft had on ECMA working group's decisions).

Silverlight was their one big snafu, but even that was kept alive for quite some time.

Personally I have never seen that level of singular agreement in any group of people that large. Especially to the level of sacrifice they were willing to take for the cause. You maybe see that level of devotion to a leader in churches or cults, but in any other group? You can barely get 3 people to agree on a restaurant for lunch.

I am not saying something nefarious forced it, but it’s certainly unusual in my experience and this causes me to be skeptical of why.

Although in this case, it wasn't even an actual easter egg, just removed content still on the disc.
If they remained in people's backyards then it wouldn't be an issue, however they're used and often stored in public spaces. So I think it is valid for other people to have an opinion about these things.

A couple months ago I had tried to track the Ford aircraft carrier with that site, since it was supposed to be on its way to my place.

There was only an update every few days, and the rest of its CSG wasn't tracked at all.

Rephrase it slightly: "Is is OK to provide an commercial online service which has a bug", in which case I would hope so, or there would be no commercial online services.
I’ve found C# pleasant to write in, and I get a bad feeling every time I deal with npm. On the other hand the library support for React is just so much better so I put up with it.

EDIT: I’m not a web dev, the web is just the most consistent UI platform for supporting mobile and some desktop we have now so that definitely influences my opinion.
The improvements coming for Wayland's HDR/color management are likely to help with that, as the features they're aiming for appears to beat Window's more slapdash implementation with per-window color management, where window contents are accurately tonemapped and composited within the widest color space the monitor supports.

Adobe would need to be incentivized to port their suite over for it to be taken seriously, but maybe Wine could bridge that gap at first.

If you are primarily a C# shop then being able to stay in that ecosystem is quite valuable.
I pretty much only really disagree about HKP. Not specifically because I want monads, but having used C# for 20 years now, I feel it every time I try to create reusable abstractions, and so much of the ecosystem would be simplified had HKP been available. I don't see any issue with not having a monad in the std lib and having a Roc sub-community create their own extension library.

I do suspect there's a way to solve the issues they raise with currying, but haven't thought about it enough to be sure.

The only other complaint I have that isn't addressed in the FAQ is the choice to use '\' to start a lambda. I've never liked that syntax anytime I've seen it. '->' as a infix operator is sufficient to disambiguate, so given all of the other good ergonomic choices they've made, that just kinda sticks in my craw.

People were educated about cyber-risks in a real-life

No it wasn't, no they weren't. That's like saying that growing up in a rough neighborhood where you can get shot, or getting drafted into war, is good for you because it builds character and teaches you to protect yourself.

A bullshit OS full of security vulnerabilities is no fun or useful for any user or business. Yeah, it indirectly helped me in my childhood better understand security, threats and troubleshooting, but overall these faults were a net negative for humanity.

>And then they installed Tiny Personal Firewall

No they didn't. I did tech support at the time. Most XP PCs has whatever bullshit solution from Zone Alarm, Kaspersky, McAfee, etc was cheaper or more advertised at the time. If they had anything to begin with that is, otherwise they were full of Bonzi-Buddy, Strip-Girl animated spyware that came with your DivX player installation or via the usual 'Eminem - Lose Yourself.mp3.exe' Limewire download.
Pretty sure Microsoft is very cooperative on working with AMD and others on this stuff, it may just take a little longer in this case.
I do not think it is just that. In organizations where low level employees are rewarded for breaking the law or doing unethical acts, front-line employees have as muddled line between right and wrong as managers.

In corporations, as you climb up, you get rewarded for unethical more and more. Ethical people get kicked out of the ladder.

I am a bit annoyed that everyone here takes this at face value. There's 0 evidence given, not even the vendors and models are named to confirm this.

On a related note I tested 4 DDR5 Ram kits from major vendors - half of them corrupt data when exposed to UV light.

I understand and it is a bit of a struggle I'm facing in the writing to have the reader believe that a large part of what is holding them back is this very thing. A lot of my technical audience has the sense of, I should just be able to make my change and shouldn't need multiple eyes along the journey for feedback.

I had an experience very similar to your, "just add a couple of columns". That experience which I'll explain was the final straw to getting me to start drafting the book.

An individual at an enterprise company made a PR to change the code from handling a single item to a list of items. Of course this showed promising performance because it reduced a bunch of the overhead operations that used to be O(N) down to some sub N amount.

It took me about 3 hours to fully understand the surrounding systems. At that point I did not review the implementation, BUT instead the problem. A system was falling behind and timing out. This implementation did help fix the issue by batching API calls. While I as the reviewer did the "laying groundwork" portion I realized that a lot of the API calls themselves did not need to be triggered in the first place.

Looking purely at the implementation for review was a LGTM (Looks Good To Me) kind of review because I could not weigh out the solutions to the problem without the information on the systems to understand where the problem could be.
Sam will have no issue patching the relationship because he knows how a business relationship works. Besides, Ilya kissed the ring as evidenced by his tweet.
It does seem that the hypocrisy was baked in from the beginning. In the tech world 'open' implied open source but OpenAI wanted to benefit from a marketing itself as something like Linux when internally it was something like Microsoft.

Corporations have no values whatsoever and their statements only mean anything when expressed in terms of a legally binding contract. All corporate value statements should be viewed as nothing more than the kind of self-serving statements that an amoral narcissitic sociopath would make to protect their own interests.
I have two rigs here at home. A 12700k gaming box with a high end Nvme disk. Also, a 13900k workstation with Nvme disks as well. The gaming box runs Windows 11, and it feels generally snappy until I’m navigating the filesystem or dealing with compression. On the flip side the other box is running Debian 12 and feels significantly faster. Could be 12th gen vs 13th gen but I don’t think that’s the case.

It's a very strongly worded statement. Given how connected Altman is, it's very interesting that Irving would publicly state this.

It's either very courageous and in service to changing silicon valley, or also very manipulative and in service of benefiting his company. It feels like it could be both.

I'm left feeling like there are no angels here. (That's actually funny given how investors love to call themselves angels.)

In the end it appears Altman has looked out for himself above all else, which probably enrages his mentors and investors who don't like to lose control, including pg.
> Being an expert in one particular field (AI) not mean you are good at critical thinking or thinking about strategic corporate politics.

That's not the bar you are arguing against.

You are arguing against how you have better information, better insight, better judgement, and are able to make better decisions than the experts in the field who are hired by the leading organization to work directly on the subject matter, and who have direct, first-person account on the inner workings of the organization.

We're reaching peak levels of "random guy arguing online knowing better than experts" with these pseudo-anonymous comments attacking each and every person involved in OpenAI who doesn't agree with them. These characters aren't even aware of how ridiculous they sound.
It's funny to me how often this mistake is being made here on HN, despite this exact thing being repeated time and again. There is a big difference between 3.5 and 4.

It's hard to describe what I recognize as totalitarian community without making comparison to actual historial events that mirror what I experienced. I never stated anyone is racist or that they inflicted physical violence on anyone.

It is. If you’ve never learned economic except from cryptocurrency marketing material, inflation simply refers to the prices of goods and services increasing, not any one specific cause. That can happen due to real changes in demand or supply, government policy changes, or other factors like changes in the labor market. It’s key to understand why inflation is happening because that tells you both whether it’s a problem - almost all serious economists think modest inflation is good for keeping the economy moving – and what kinds of fixes might be needed. For example, a crop failure will cause a spike in prices but if you don’t have reason to expect a late frost to happen again you probably don’t need to make structural changes; if some industrial component costs more because mines are running out, you might need a larger intervention.

In this case, prices went all over the place during the pandemic and the question is how they recover – companies are a lot quicker to raise prices than lower them and if you look at the business press there were a lot of record profits reported - the most since the 1950s when American companies were reaping the profits of uninterrupted production capacity selling to post-WWII Europe:

The St. Louis Fed estimated 60% of the inflation in 2021 was profit-taking:

it is absolutely fascinating how in all the threads about him, there's all these huge fans, and some people who are apparently highly connected, but no one ever seems to discuss why he has these fancy jobs, why he left others, and why is apparently so well regarded?
Those of us that had a go at XNA, Silverlight, WebForms, Windows Forms, WPF, WinRT, WinRT/UAP, WinRT/UWP, and now WinUI 3.0/WinAppSDK, are a bit burned out with Microsoft GUI frameworks.
Yeah, but then you have a write amplification problem. Padding is write amplification from the start, and then GC is invoked many more times than it otherwise would be. There is a fundamental problem with (truly) flushing an IO that is smaller than the media write unit. It will cause problems if "abused." The SSD either needs to take on the cost of mitigation (e.g. caps) or it needs some way to provide hints to the host that don't exist today.
This is the kind of person we have controlling the future of AI. He and Elon Musk. Between these two we are assured complete destruction.
Most plant-based psychoactive substances are, no? Caffeine and nicotine are insecticides as well. In our brain, the effects are more interesting

The same goes for mescaline, cocaine, psilocybin, ibogaine. Also the smelly components found in onion and garlic, for example. The ergot alkaloids from which LSD was first synthesised are from a fungus, a pest that grows on some grasses, so I'm not sure if it's the same.
It is mostly for .NET shops, and also the upgrade path for folks still stuck with WebForms.
The main benefit that I keep hearing is that you don't need to split your attention between different languages.

JS does have its own gotchas, so I guess there's something to that... But I can't imagine building things for the web without a solid foundation in html, css, and js.
> Atomic CSS makes perfect sense in this context and makes composable development a breeze by comparison.

I should have also mentioned that your "semantic CSS" is necessarily anti-composable by contrast. Any reusable HTML components with semantic classes now require you to manually lift their CSS definitions into your CSS top-level context, which is a step that isn't required with atomic CSS / tailwind.
And? What has changed so much since 2013 that would require new proposals? Do you need the language to change every month? You keep moving goalposts, and I'm beginning to think that you’re not arguing in good faith here.
The title literally says ublock origin, and the entire point of the article and countless other such articles for at least the last year is exactly that ad blockers, and yes in particular ublock origin, will not be able to function.

No goal posts have moved and ublock origin is not just a random "specific blocker" it's the gold standard one that actually does what they all should, because the author is principled and not for sale.

In this context, "function" and "does what they all should" means "places ultimate control in the hands of the user" ie, allows you to do things that web sites and google don't like, but which you want. Most other ad blockers don't do that. They say they do, but they don't. Just like ublock itself, which caused the original author to fork and create ublock origin in the first place.

It's been exactly the same story ever since manifest v3 was first proposed.

If you somehow were unaware of that, consider yourself hereby informed.
You have an interesting worldview. Corporations take profits to pay their employees. They do this with or without inflation and always have.

How would a crypto "help" with inflation? In the same way the Dollar "helps" with the inflation of the Euro?

Cryptos don't add to personal risk, people do that. If you think cryptos are making an impact, you should understand that the entire crypto economy is a rounding error in inflationary impact.
But there is never a lack of input, just varied input.
It depends where you draw the line on ‘faulty’. Even Apple sells the iPhone knowing it is riddled with bugs and potential faultiness. I guess you could say that’s different from knowing not just that they exist but where they are, but I’d be willing to bet that even pieces of software like iOS get released containing unfixed bugs still known to the developers (who hope to fix them all at a later date).
part of the fanaticism here is that the first one to get an AGI wins because they can use its powerful intelligence to overcome every competitor and shut them down. they’re living in their own sci fi novel

In that case we should start with FAANG companies as they are already what one would consider "rogue" AIs. They use manipulation to get you addicted to their apps. It's not a problem of the future, it's a currrent problem.
"Although the coronaviruses known to have been used in the research were too distant to have caused the pandemic,..."

Key words, "known to have been used". Given the bad practices of the lab at the WIV, the purposeful obfuscation by major players, and China's history in this, I wouldn't accept that statement lightly from the article.

I believe the pandemic originated at the lab based on likelihood over the competing natural origins hypothesis.
I'm strictly speaking of web FE.
> Disagreeing with employee actions doesn't mean that you are correct and they failed to think well.

You failed to present a case where random guys shitposting on random social media services are somehow correct and more insightful and able to make better decisions than each and every single expert in the field who work directly on both the subject matter and in the organization in question. Beyond being highly dismissive, it's extremely clueless.
I have a Zen 2 Threadripper box that I dual boot (it's a workstation for coding that I sometimes play games on), and I can confirm. I don't know what the exact technical reason is or why nobody in Redmond is embarrassed. But anything relating to the filesystem is simply dog-slow on Windows, and the more high-end your system is, the more this becomes the major bottleneck.
