I'll qualify myself. AI and LLMs of all forms we've seen so-far don't break any of our known laws of reality, or ideals of computing and the internet. That's why when I hear claims like "a rogue AI will x" I have to call it 'magic'. Rogue AI's don't do anything, they are dependent on human resources and if they become enough of a threat the operator becomes a target. AI is almost inconsequential in this case, we're just describing organized crime and wondering how traditional systems would respond.

So the 'magic' bit is explicitly where someone starts with "imagine a world where AI is unconstrained and runs on some arbitrary P2P network" because it doesn't make sense. It's such an evident non-issue in our real world that speculating about it is immediately pointless. If this ever becomes a threat in the future then I guess I'm the fool, but I don't believe in hand-waving wizardry.

A movie is not just what story beats it contains. If that is all you consider a movie is, then I suppose you might as well just read the wiki summaries of every movie.

But I wouldn't dismiss an entire form of complex expression because of an inability or unwillingness to engage with it at its level.

A movie is the visuals, the acting, the sound, the camera movements/editing, etc and how it all comes together to essentially give you a 2d slice of a person's realized thoughts.

You're right; but also, I had actually never put any of this to paper before; it was mostly just shower thoughts. The GP comment prompted me to actually make a lot of these whimsies concrete and coherent, while I had a moment between things at work, and a good reason to do so.

Sure, but with the data-hose being priced prohibitively high, how can this be independently verified? Oh yeah, let's just trust the CEO's words on X.
Yes, it would be funny if it wasn't tragic: the exact scenario they wanted to prevent materialized but from the one angle where they weren't covered. I predict this is the last time that a non-profit is put in charge of a for profit that has investors. That mistake is not going to be made again. And it also shows how risky it is to put together new governance structures even if they seem to be a good idea at the time. Because the fig leaf suddenly turned into a hammer the size of which would be hard to replicate in a normal governance setting. Unparalleled destruction with zero regards for the consequences.

Alan Couzens (former Australian swim team coach) is a great follow on X for learning about athletic performance and the importance of exercise for longevity and health. A big thing he emphasizes is heart rate variability based training, and monitoring that as a signal of stress and adequate recovery.

Here are a few recent posts I loved.

https://x.com/Alan_Couzens/status/1726591761277943959 - Death zone health metrics to avoid and an aside demonstrating that an elite VO2max in the Mount Everest Death Zone is equivalent to a very old/unfit person teetering on the edge of death.

https://x.com/Alan_Couzens/status/1720437671623868878 - Decrease in all cause mortality directly correlated to MET-hours/week. MET-hours is effectively a measure of exercise level energy use you put your body through. It's also why people with a lower VO2max have to put in more hours to receive the same benefit, because a person with a high VO2max can do moderate exercise which would be an extreme effort for a less fit person, thus stacking MET-hours more quickly.

Pixel images are stable enough that they remain usable forever. Windows is a relatively stable platform as well, so not updating your development tools mostly works there. But on mobile there are too many breaking changes and updated store requirements for that to work for long.
This is discussed in the link I posted. Bundlers manage to statically analyze CommonJS just fine. With require("stringliteral") and
exports.thing = thing, that cover 99.9% or so usage, this is just as easy to statically analyze as ESM.

Saying that you need declarative for static analysis is like saying tail call optimization is impossible.

And if a stricter module system would be still required, it could have been quite easy to make compatible with, well, require.
Also interesting that D’Angelo was the one who was negotiating with OpenAI leadership as representative of the board,[1] and the employee protest letter states that the board "informed the leadership team that allowing the company to be destroyed would be consistent with the mission" during these negotiations.[2]

I mean if it is "is using the UserAgent as part of a tuple with other factors" in a way which causes Chrome UAs to get preferential treatment, isn't that specifically targeting non-Chrome browsers?

Making Chrome the dominant browser has been a huge focus of Google since Chrome's inception. You may not know this, but Google owns YouTube.
Not so hard to believe tho. I work on a product that has parametrized feature flags. This means that, from a web interface, someone can say things like "activate feature X, on machines running operating system Y, at version Z, and are running product version W with license type Q". This is not a hard thing to build, and once you have it you can mix and match filters without being a software engineer or knowing how it works behind the scenes.
Precisely. Back scratching to sweeten the deal for mutual benefit.

These models are black boxes with unlabeled knobs. A change that makes things better for one user might make things worse for another user. It is not necessarily the case that just because it got worse for you that it got worse on average.

Also, the only way for OpenAI to really know if a model is an improvement or not is to test it out on some human guinea pigs.
it will be hard to match up though, before ousting Sam, those OpenAI-ers are expecting tens of millions or more from shares, once they join microsoft, that's pretty much unlikely, which is one reason people go to startups in silicon valley instead of big companies.
Yeah, and the California code applies to employees in California, which at least most OAI employees are, so it should be irrelevant that MSFT is in Washington.

Given the relationship between the two, and the context of the matter, I don't expect no-poach agreements to hold much weight here.
There's a movement to remove qualified immunity and it's slowly gaining traction. These four states have abolished it: Colorado, Montana, Nevada, and New Mexico.

I would say it would help. The reason bad cops misbehave is they have no accountability for doing so. It's not unlike refusing to punishing a biting child. Qualified Immunity is a good example of legislating from the bench.

It's interesting because Google has their own competing music streaming platform, but they still seem to give preferential treatment to Spotify. For example Spotify was the only service that worked with the Android clock app when they added the ability to use music with alarms. YouTube Music support didn't land until a year later.

I'm not a fan of Apple, but it looks like they're trying to lock down what they can and accepting what they can't.

I've no doubt that Apple would like to lock down the web too, but they don't have the clout to unilaterally change the internet. They can unilaterally do whatever they want to iOS though.

> rather it is using the User Agent

This is literally the most common method of targeting browsers.

> even python might be too far from the CPU to be a good introduction to computing

IMO Python is useful as a didactic tool not so much for teaching kids how computers work as for giving them an emotional experience of "Wow, I can make the computer do things! I'm basically a wizard!" that then might motivate some of them to keep learning about computing.

But yeah, there will also be kids who are already well past that stage and ready for meatier stuff. So probably a combination of approaches is best to provide kids with the level of detail they'll find most engaging.

Anecdotally, I grew up on Logo, Lego Mindstorms, and HTML, and got my early career started in Python before I really dug in and learned about how hardware makes the magic happen because I realized I was going to be handicapped until I knew that.

Ask HN: How do you get started with adding voice commands to a computer system?
Let's suppose you want to add support for voice commands to a Linux Distro.

For simplicity's sake, let's say you want to be able to tell the computer (The terminal is running): "Create XY directory" and as a response the directory XY is created on the current directory.

How do you implement such a feature?

Will a Software developer first need to train a system over lots of people pronouncing "Create directory" phrases. And then perform inference on production?

Are some corporations/start-ups already providing trained models for natural language - computer interaction?

How do you get started these sort of tasks these days?

And of course, for accessibility purposes, text-based interaction remains unchanged.

Thanks!
Good overview, when can we expect part 2?
I also have very fond memories of the game.

I only played it through emulation (on ZSNES, in Windows 98!) but I was very young, and I'm a non-native English speaker so the gameplay felt even more obscure to me. It's crazy how now, that I have a better understanding of English, some things I got stuck for a long time when I was a kid were actually quite simple.

The most fun to me, it's that still retains the magic, the OST is still great (and the option to use the classic one is quite a gift), it feels mysterious and magical. They did an amazing job.

Sounds like it was.
Unfortunately as often is the case, the important moments that matter somehow forget to be recorded.

It's pretty rare that we see the cops being recorded breaking the law on their own body cameras, despite those body cameras supposedly being "always on", even after we know they broke the law some other way(like being recorded by third-parties, etc).

It would be really interesting to know how often body cams are catching these things, the best I could find is via the LAPD:

"Of 37 police shootings that have gone before the civilian commission over the last year, 25 cases had some type of body camera violation by officers who were considered to be substantially involved, the Times review found." -https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-09-21/internal...

So terribly, which isn't surprising, but is very sad for humanity.
If ads are not being served, the content creators are not being paid, right?
I've already wasted a lot of my own time and energy on this, but I'm starting to get a bit confused on this whole thing. People seem pretty comfortable jumping to a profit-driven motivation for employees potentially leaving OpenAI in pursuit of some kind of loyalty to Altman.

But I'm just thinking of the rancor that has been heaped on Terraform, for example, for changing its license. The argument always seems to be that Hashicorp mislead contributors by claiming to release their contributions as open source and now they've reneged on that deal.

My understanding of OpenAI's mission was that there was a fear that AI being developed inside of big tech companies would provide undue advantage to the very few companies that were able to afford the teams and hardware necessary. Meanwhile the rest of us would be unaware of those advancement being made behind closed doors while those behemoths created an insurmountable gap.

Yet now, for some reason, everyone is literally cheerleading the gutting of OpenAI and gleefully pushing the employees into one of the biggest and most notorious tech giants there ever was.

You almost have to wonder, is this the greatest psychological twist in recent memory? People aren't just OK with them turning into a profit-seeking venture, they are seemingly begging for it. There is almost no opposition to it. And for what? Because of some guy none of us actually knows, who we've only seen on TV? And big tech guys like Paul Graham, Eric Schmidt, Satya Nadella - a literal who's-who of the tech giant oligarchy - are all fawning over this young man, along with visits to the white house, meeting foreign presidents, etc.

We went from "big corps are bad" to "big corps are saviours" in less than a week. And I'm not even sure what we think they are saving us from.

Correction, it works with Apple Music as well[0], and with local music files[1].

As for why, it seems like those were just the only two that bothered to integrate their apps with Playstation. Which kind of makes sense, as Spotify and Apple Music are the two largest streaming services currently (by user numbers[2]). Youtube could arguably claim to be more popular, but their YT music app feels half-baked even on the primary platforms (iOS and Android). And the other ones right behind are Tencent Music and Amazon Music, which are rather unpopular, at least in the US.

But besides all that, I think it's criminal to leave people in underdeveloped countries at the whims of unaccountable central-bank-style institutions like USDT.
