Some red wines used to give me headaches, but it wasn't super hard to figure out what looks like the cause.

When reading the back of the bottle, if it has a warning about potentially containing "sulfides" then it'll be fine. It's the ones that don't contain sulfides, instead using some other preservative (or similar), which give me bad headaches.
The author finally gets on to their real motivation for writing the piece near the end, where they call for 100% inheritence tax and the abolition of familial solidarity. The expiring money idea, as pointed out by others, is silly and would lead to asset and loan hoarding. But that isn't the point, the author is promoting an ideology that wants to move personal loyalty from the family to the state.
Interesting. I’m glad he shared his perspective despite the ambiguity.

Almost. It keeps housing as a luck of the draw thing (since it doesn't address shortage) but it keeps more money moving around in the town's economy rather than sitting tied up in a house.
"Jewish Communities" doesn't mean "All Jews", and that's obvious to anyone not looking for a reason to be angry. Muslim communities just bombed the hell out of Israel, and that's not islamophobic to say, because it doesn't implicate all Muslims.
Good question. Yes, the 10GB available for batching is in the HBM. In a single forward pass, you move the entire model from HBM -> SRAM exactly once. In a batched forward pass, this is still the case, so you end up doing more compute for the same amount of memory movement.

You can calculate the SRAM as follows: an A100 has 108 SMs, and each SM has 192 KB in SRAM (shared memory, aka its L1 cache) [1]. Multiplied out, this is ~20 MB of total SRAM. This happens to match up with the diagram in the Flash Attention paper [2].

That's the default, but employment contracts can override this. C-level employment contracts almost universally have special consideration for "Termination Without Cause", aka golden parachutes. He could sue to make them pay out.

He would also have very good grounds for a civil suit for disparagement. Or at least he would have if Microsoft didn't immediately step up and offer him the world.

Update (11/20/23 8 PM PST):

NYT just released a new interview with Sam Altman:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38359070

(I have not watched it yet, but will soon.)
Yes, but what we're doing also fails, and I'd prefer this failure mode.
Whether it makes them or not, it is integrating them into the car, and VW also obviously has more experience integrating brakes into a full car.

I'm sure you could have read "make" charitably as "making and/or integrating brakes into cars" if you wanted to.

I think this needs to be viewed through the lens of the gravity of how the board reacted; giving them the benefit of the doubt that they acted appropriately and, at least with the information they had the time, correctly.

A hypothetical example: Would you agree that it's an appropriate thing to do if the second project was Alignment-related, Sam lied or misled about the existence of the second team, to Ilya, because he believed that Ilya was over-aligning their AIs and reducing their functionality?

Its easy to view the board's lack of candor as "they're hiding a really bad, unprofessional decision"; which is probable at this point. You could also view it with the conclusion that, they made an initial miscalculated mistake in communication, and are now overtly and extremely careful in everything they say because the company is leaking like a sieve and they don't want to get into a game of mudslinging with Sam.
I am frankly amazed at the amount of Tesla's in my corner of Europe. There is only one Tesla service center and it has a backlog of months.

The cars are really not that reliable and if you get in a fender bender no regular body shop can help you. If worse you are likely completely fucked with costs going into the many thousands very quickly. Not to mention waiting for months on repair.

Also the resell value after a few years is awful. The most popular reseller site has so so many available.

Tesla's in my opinion are a luxury vehicle but unlike other car luxury vehicles. They are a luxury because they are like a smart phone. Once it is too old or broken, you throw it away and the money is gone entirely.
>I was replying to the assertion that there were no alternatives to slow trains that stop at every station, as far as regular people and their commutes are concerned.

There are no alternatives, for many, many lines. Anywhere inside the Yamanote line, there are generally no express lines; all the Tokyo Metro lines stop at every station. It entirely depends on which line you're taking; some lines have express trains, many don't. There are over 120 train lines in the Tokyo metro area; you can't make generalizations like that about them.

>This is partly why I think in-fill and purpose-shifting is important.

In-fill is necessary if you want America to have the kind of density needed to make public transit economically viable, but it's almost impossible to do as long as car culture is so important and parking requirements exist.

Personally, I just gave up on the idea of America being a nice place to live within my lifetime, and moved to Tokyo. Why bother pining for the kind of lifestyle I wish existed in America, when I can just move to a place where it already is the norm?
Right, but there was no effort to actually oust him either. Which you would expect them to do if they had to fire guilty parties for a massive wrongdoing that couldn’t be ignored

Either he had no part in this hypothetical transgression and thinks the accusation is nonsense, or he was part of it and for some inexplicable reason wasn’t asked to leave Open AI despite that. But you have to choose.
He's pretty clear, he expects to be building a startship every couple days relatively soon after the design is successfully finalized so that they can launch a crap ton of them at mars to get a colony going (Which I think is dumb, figure out how to build a workable version of o'neill cylinders and focus on mining space and then moving heavy industry off planet into space to solve the pollution issue on planet.) In the near term there will be pretty heavy demand from starlink, as that platform is basically required to economically launch their larger, next gen satellites.
Yes, we want you to take a motorcycle up against a tank. It's cheaper, you're expendable, and we will win with the budget we have.

You joined the Legion to die, and we are sending you where you can do that.

No, we do not cover you with life insurance.
Leaving aside much of the other craziness: Who did the board expect would replace him? Did they expect to install Ilya and he bailed last minute? How could you possibly be calling around on a weekend trying to recruit a CEO? Everyone is knocking the board, so I am not going to break new ground here, but WHAT TF were they thinking? My only thought is maybe they expected they could dump sama and slot in another high level figure and they would work it out, but there was so much immediate blowback that they bailed?
I had a problem with the lights on my Tesla - water "leaked in" and I had to get the Tesla service to replace. At considerable $$.

I'd never experienced that before, or heard of others who had experienced it.
> doxing, at least that’s universally viewed as going over the line.

Not really. When the user database of Parler was dumped, the media covered that event quite widely and favorably.
And the little that is more painful, we look at with abject horror.
Ken White’s writing style is just phenomenal. He could write a VCR user manual and I’d be all over that. He also demonstrates that the best insults are the G-rated ones.

>It is certainly possible the court will disagree with the SEC, but I wouldnt bet on it.

I would (not a lot, but I would). They lost on the Grayscale trust, they lost on XRP being a security (extremely relevant here), they're seemingly settling with Binance... the court has been disagreeing with the SEC a whole lot on the matter of blockchain regulation lately.
They have had jails for 20+ years at this point. I would consider FreeBSD jails and containers on Linux equivalent at this point with overall the FreeBSD jails being better to manage if you do some scripting. The bhyve hypervisor, I haven't played with enough to form an opinion on.
Ah yes, when you get your corrupt buddies in government to investigate journalists for publishing things you don't like. Free speech absolutism indeed.

Ask HN: How much of OpenAI narrative is Team Altman driving?
Looking at how the narrative is playing out, it’s playing perfectly for Sam

-make the board look incompetent (going fourth string for interim CEO, attempting a merger with competitor, flimsy reasons given for firing)

-get a viable alternative (Microsoft offering to hire everyone)

-get open AI to unify (employees signing petition, including ilya eating crow in front of the world)

It’s playing beautifully for him and I’m just left wondering how much of this is him / his team effectiveness at controlling narrative vs people acting relatively independently and in their own self interest

As someone else pointed out there’s huge opps the board is missing

-new CEO grabbing bull by the balls, reassuring employees and partners and leading away from the path of Sam

-board reassuring the same

-sharing real reasons why Sam was let go

-anti Sam campaign (if he deserved this surely there are credible people to testify to it)

They lost the initiative and now I don’t see how the board gets out of this pickle
VW specs brakes that are built by companies (e.g. ATE/Teves, Girling, Brembo) with those 70 years of experience. Tesla, famously, brought all sorts of complex assemblies (e.g. seats) in house. So I'm curious with the situation is with the Model Three.

I can sorta understand wanting to bring something bespoke like seats in house, but friction brakes are commodity hardware. If Tesla is trying to DIY friction brakes that seems like a colossal waste of time.
90% of employees are threatening to quit. My guess is Ilya considers this outcome a huge failure.
>This will hurt Google and may destroy Spotify.

How does this destroy Spotify?
i do believe what they said about Altman "was not consistently candid in his communications with the board.", based on my understanding, altman did proved his dishonest behavior from he did to openai, turned non-profit into for-profit and open source model to closed-source one. and even worst, people seems totally accepted this type of personality, the danger is not the AI itself, is the AI will be built by AltmanS!
All wines contain sulfites. Yeasts produce them naturally during fermentation.

Almost all winemakers add additional sulfites during crush, pressing, and bottling. There are "natural" wine makers who don't, but their wines still contain sulfites produced by the yeast during fermentation, though it's a much lower amount. And their wines usually end up faulty in some detectable way.

What varies is labeling requirements for sulfite additions. California requires it, so it kind of spread because of that. But if the intended market for the wine doesn't require mentioning it, wine producers may not bother putting it on the label.
Maybe an organic overwhelming influence is how there's a lot of gay and Jewish people in musical theater? Unless it's actually an inorganic influence (thanks to the shady machinations of Big Sondheim...)
thats not very frugal; please provide a source or citation for your claim.
That’s another thing though: they were apparently holding secret meetings plotting all this without informing Greg or Sam, which is apparently against their own regulations. So if that’s the case it’s unlikely there is any formal record of what was discussed. And perhaps by design.
You clearly didn't read the filing.

They followed only Nazis and major advertisers, then hid this fact in their reporting and presented it as a normal, natural user interaction.

If it goes through, a Texas jury will rule against MM. What they did is unethical and dishonest. You might find this acceptable, but only because you dislike Elon Musk. Any objective party can see this for what it is.

What's to stop me from doing the same to Reddit, FB, TikTok, etc??
Isn’t it just their rehashing from reading Hacker News followed by interview with Altman from long ago (early last week)?
Because he's the former president of YC. One of the powerful people you'd be pissing of by doing this is Sam Altman.
LLMs can’t find reasoning errors because *LLMs don’t reason*.

It’s incredible how uninformed the average Hackernews is about artificial intelligence. But the average Hackernews never met a hype train they wouldn’t try to jump on.
To the first question, sure: cost of improvements plus CPI.

To the rest, orienting the policy around the vanishingly rare corner cases when property values go down is kind of silly. Our entire political system is a machine optimized towards preventing home values from ever falling. (Which does make me wonder why people feign surprise at the intended result that housing is nearly impossible to afford.)

Thanks stuart8ol for all the detailed answers in this thread. I learned several new things today (use of compressors for fuel cells to increase power density, logic of airplane sizes). This is the stuff I come to HN for! Also cool to see you using H3X motors - I remember their launch here, I was excited for them.

Good luck decarbonizing aviation!

Sure. They don't review background. They don't go looking around for crimes. But if you straight up tell them "hey SEC, I'm breaking the law" you expect me to believe that they will actually just ignore it and approve? And that's exactly what Coinbase did in it's S-1, if you believe the theory that the SEC has always considered Coinbase to be an illegal operation.

Like do you really believe that if you filed an S-1 with the SEC that said "we raise money from investors and use the proceeds to pay distributions to previous investors" that the SEC would say "sure, whatever, go ahead and IPO your ponzi scheme. We don't review background." Because I sure don't.

I wonder to what extent we can establish a common dialogue of "just don't be a hateful asshole" where you just don't have any interest about random personal crap you have zero entitlement to be involved in or are not entitled to retain any say in.

The same way if I don't pay your electricity bill, I can't tell you what to use your electricity on. If I'm not having sex with you and I don't want to have sex with you, surprise! I don't have any right or should be expecting influence in that department cuz I have zero standing to demand it, and more importantly, why should I have any standing?

And why do I care in the first place unless I have an agenda like my gay conversion camp I'm headmaster/captain of +/or I'm a closet homosexual and I want to distract from the obvious ensuing hilarity of me trying to reinforce and hide that I'm a totally not gay-"straight" fellow...Like by riding a horse shirtless...That PROVES im not gay :/

Also, not everybody would take the deal. People who want to resell at an appreciated price can, they just have to pay the higher property taxes in the interim.
Present prices need to drop. A lot. If rates drop, prices will just continue to climb like crazy. You cannot fix affordability by just making loans more affordable. We need way higher supply, much better regulation, and normal (e.g. not insanely low like they were from 2008-2023) interest rates for this sickness to go away.

If that means "destroying" the perceived wealth of homeowners like myself, so be it.

Look at a graph of BoC rates for the last 40 years and then see what an anomaly the period after 2008 is. Nobody should be expecting/demanding a return to that.
From inception to the second crash, numbers were abysmal. The 737 Max was crashing at a rate of about one per hundred thousand flights, two order of magnitude worse that the 737 NG (one fatal crash per 10 million flights).

Said differently, the Max 8 was working safely 99.999% of the time, while the 737 NG was working safely 99.99999% of the time. An order of magnitude better than 99.99%, but two orders of magnitude worse than expected...

It is certainly a lot safer now. Hopefully even better than the 737 NG.
This interview itself was done last week right, before the drama this weekend? But published today.
This sarcastic post is the best understanding of public relations I've seen in an HN post.
It just blows me away. The unusual board activity is what drew me to this. What I'm also waiting for is an explanation for why/how they canned Brockman as their Chairman of the Board. With him so far I've not even heard of a hint of it being for cause, which it isn't exactly normal to remove a board member without cause...them offering to let him remain as regular employee actually made what they did all the more eyebrow raising.
In the intro, they say the interview was from last week.

So it’s way less interesting.
You have presented false alternatives.

Private regulation can exist inside of a free market. Consumers and producers of food or financial products can voluntarily participate with private ratings agencies. These standards can be higher or lower, based upon market preferences. The existence of a state backed monopoly is widely recognized as prohibitive to competition. State monopolies create issues around corruption, gatekeeping and more. Too many to expand upon here.

If you don't like free markets, that's fine. There's no need to misconstrue the options. The anti-market sentiment is somewhat surprising to see here.

Hmmm, how many Tesla 3's were tested to produce this report? Which year of Tesla 3's were tested. Were they all from the same "batch"?

There's no info on the report and methodology.

I hear nothing but good reports from people who own these cars. And given the current media attack against Elon, I prefer to verify negative claims.
Let me be more precise then: he shows little concern for free speech outside a legalistic understanding. From https://popehat.substack.com/p/my-free-speech-means-you-have...

People who are sincerely concerned about free expression, people I admire and respect, argue that we must avoid “manipulative” and “ad hominem” criticism to protect speech — without really engaging the problem that both the critic and the criticized are people with free speech rights and interests.

Where others see a problem (e.g. cherry-picking content from Twitter and framing it as the norm, or any other dishonest, manipulative framing, or complaining about the general culture of shaming), he throws his hands up with "technically not libel I guess". He wants a precise definition that could be written into a law or contract, before acknowledging any complaint as valid.
Right now I think that’s the most plausible explanation simply because none of the other explanations that have been floating around make any sense when you consider all the facts. We know enough now to know that the “safety-focused nonprofit entity versus reckless profit entity“ narrative doesn’t hold up.

And if it’s wrong, D’Angelo and the rest of the board could help themselves out by explaining the real reason in detail and ending all this speculation. This gossip is going to continue for as long as they stay silent.

Is it in tech or in other industries too? (I am not that experienced, and have had relatively positive experiences with HR, besides occasional incompetence.)
Ideally, you also have at least a couple independent board members who are seasoned business/tech veterans with the experience and maturity to prevent this sort of thing from happening in the first place.
But the article's exact wording is "Sustkever is said to have offered two explanations he purportedly received from the board" key word being "purportedly received". He could be choosing words to protect himself, but it strongly implies that he wasn't the genesis of the action. Of course, he was convinced enough of it to vote him out (actually; has this been confirmed? they would have only needed 3, right? it was confirmed that he did the firing over Meet, but I don't recall confirmation that he voted Yet); which also implies that he was at some point told more precise reasoning? Or maybe he's being muzzled by the remaining board members now, and this reasoning he "received" is what they approved him to share, right now?

None of this makes sense to label any theory as "most likely" anymore.
