>Prior to 2008 it was. New SCOTUS precedent doesn't magically change the past.

It really wasn't. Had Miller not be basically defaulted on by death, but decided anyhow... this would have been clear earlier. Just because you don't like it - never made it any less of an individual right... You know, the second one in the section where all the other individual civil rights are - or was that an organizing mistake on their part?

Your definition is very interesting in that it seems to be a clear case of revisionist history, or a complete fabrication. Post a link, please.

> Pointing it out as a reason to dismiss the legitimacy of a suit stains your reply with obvious bias against conservative policy.

No, it's pointing out that no serious person could level 50 individual suits against the state and meaningfully progress them all. I align myself with conservative and liberal politicians that represent meaningful changes in policy; this is not it. A cursory look at this guy's history will clearly show that he's a republican reactionary, not a conservative.
Is a greenfield project at Amazon actually greenfield the way anyone means though?

I assume there are org-wide style guides, best practices, approved languages and libraries, strategies, norms, etc. - I don't mean to say it's a bad thing (or make any judgement) but I'd have thought there would be relatively little difference from anything brownfield; that it's really just a 'not a monorepo' technicality?

They did think about its descent when it was first raised. The plan was always to deorbit it, but that plan was based on the assumption of Russian cooperation, which was indeed the entire idea behind the station. It's only under the geopolitical situation that developed two decades after the station started construction that this stopped being a safe option.

Crashing the ISS into the Earth is far and away the best plan. There are really only three options - controlled reentry, uncontrolled reentry, and pushing it into such a high orbit that it will stay in space. Uncontrolled re-entry risks dropping a massive amount of hardware on potentially an inhabited area. Pushing it into a higher orbit requires an enormous amount of fuel, and it will become space junk, eventually getting broken up into tiny pieces that will pose a threat to other spacecraft. Purposefully deorbiting it is the only way to to ensure that it is disposed of safely.

The ISS is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2030 and deorbited in 2031, though Russia has announced it will be removing its modules from the station in 2024, the mission's original end date.

I'm seeing a somewhat larger stage where the United States and other countries are in an undeclared arms race and it just so happens that from what we know private entities (or an entity) in the United States believes that they are close enough to achieving that goal that they are actively working on things like alignment rather than just futzing around with GPUs and other multiplication hardware.

AGI is either just around the corner or it will be 50 years or more and if it is just around the corner you'd hope that parties that have at least some semblance of balance would end up in charge of the thing. Because if it is possible I expect it to be done given the amount of resources that are being thrown at this. Assuming it can be done weaponization of this tech would change the balance of power in the world dramatically. Everybody seems to be worried about the wrong thing: whether or not the AGI will be friendly to us. That doesn't really matter, what matters is who controls it.

No single individual (Altman, Toner, Nadella, or anybody else) should be taking the responsibility about what happens onto themselves, if anything the board of OpenAI has shown that this isn't a matter for junior board members because the effects range far further than just OpenAI.
> he's trying to deal with the FCC and it doens't help if at the same time a board member releases a paper critical of the company and actively comparing it to another

Again, her mandate is not to help OpenAI deal with the FCC it's to prevent the company from building unsafe AI, one reasonable aspect of which might be to compare the methodologies of different companies.

You can justify pretty much anything with ends-justify-the-means logic and I have a hard time believing that the people who set up the charter would, a priori, have said that suppressing research comparing the safety approach of the company to a competitor in order to not make the company look bad so that the competitor wins because the company insists, without any basis, that they would be better for safety is in line with the principles of the charter. That is just trying to game the charter in order to circumvent it and is a textbook case of what the board was appointed to prevent.
>At the end of the day the untenable spot Ms Toner is in is that the genie is out of the bottle which makes her position of allowing the company to self-destruct a bit tone deaf.

Tone-deaf basically means "unpopular", doesn't it?

I'm old enough to remember when doing the right thing, even when it's unpopular, was considered a virtue.
Agreed, I'm not saying I have a better alternative, just that this is something we all should now realize; given i'm sure we were all wondering for a long time what the whole governance structure of OpenAI really meant (capped for-profit with non-profit mission etc.)

No, that is much harder. Further, if pushed to a higher orbit it will degrade and eventually break apart, creating a lot of small debris that poses a threat to other spacecraft.

There's been a ton of criticism of Helen here in this thread and elsewhere, but I haven't seen anyone clearly articulate what Helen should have done. Everyone says she did the wrong thing, but no one has said what the right thing actually was.

Here's my guess: I think OpenAI should have prioritized character more in its hiring. Ending up with an organization full of employees who cared more about making money than upholding the charter was a mistake. Ultimately it's not enough for the people on the board to have character. The CEO and employees need to have character too.
The OpenAI prominently states that any investment should be thought of as a donation. Literally in a bold pinkish-red box that describes its corporate structure.

An investor might read that and think they don't actually mean it, but you can't claim they weren't clear about the nature of any required investment.
At this point that picture is standard operating procedure for the people who endlessly pontificate on the "evils" of suburbs. They always post it, or use it in their YouTube videos, or whatever else. At this point if you see it, you almost always know the content of the argument that will follow, and can just ignore it
Dude, it floats. It has the same failure mode as any other boat.
Yes, Nadella has a point: without MS OpenAI wouldn't be where it is today, but the reverse is also true: without OpenAI MS wouldn't be where it is today.
Instead of holding forever you could sell earlier. Buying coins with the intent on it going up to make money can be done with 'good' or 'shit' coins. If you have ever purchased penny stocks it's similiar in terms of risk/reward. Buying coins with a larger capitalization reduces risk/rewards.

If you believe everything is a 'shitcoin' and you want to hold them forever then on your death bed you can look at the value and determine if it really was a shitcoin or if the media made me think everything was a shitcoin.
>They force you to speak in an unnatural way.

I think the same thing can happen when speaking to anyone with different societal/cultural factors than yours. We just become more accustomed to it over time and it's less noticed. I think if this GPT had a big green alien face then we would find speaking to it less strange, somehow.

Gut health is absolutely linked to mental health. Besides actual scientific research that backs this up, I didn’t really get my mental health under control until I took care of my gut issues like IBS and stuff. Also avoiding certain foods, not gluten obviously that’s a crock of shit, but things that obviously don’t work with my body like cream sauces or whatever
Yes, at Google. The MBA's are in charge now.
I strongly suspect this whole thing is caused by an overinflated ego and a desire to feel like she is the main character and the chief “resistance” saving the world. The EA philosophy is truly poisonous. It leads people to betray those close to them in honor of abstract ideals that they are most likely wrong about anyway. Such people should be avoided like the plague if you’re building a team of any kind.
I understand the magnitude of innovation that's going on here. But still feel like we are generating these videos with both hands tied behind our backs. In other words, it's nearly impossible to edit the videos in this constraints. (Imagine trying to edit the blue Jays to get the perfect view).

Since videos are rarely consumed raw, what if this becomes a pipeline in Blender instead? (Blender the 3d software). Now the video becomes a complete scene with all the key elements of the text input animated. You have your textures, you have your animation, you have your camera, you have all the objects in place. We can even have the render engine in the pipeline to increase the speed of video generation.

It may sound like I'm complaining, but I'm just ask making a feature request...
This. I'm on EndeavorOS on crappy hardware as my only device, and I daily drive Firefox, but sometimes, Firefox simply doesn't load a website (i.e. coveragemap), and for this reason I have Chromium on the device in case. Also, Firefox crashes when I have too many tabs open.
1973? you are attacking a beloved former First Lady's obituary--obituaries are not generally used for attacking people--for something that happened 4 years before her husband took office when the other party was in office at a time of extremly high inflation and fiscal crisis (NYC declared bankruptcy)? You are questioning her earnest intentions wrt mental health? The 1960s were still a time of shame and warehousing the mentally ill, you can hardly blame her for trying to move forward from that history in a positive way.
Yeah, this is really getting annoying. When ChatGPT first launched, I could get it to generate scenarios containing violence for a text adventure game by simply specifying the situation -- "In a fictional scenario for a text adventure game blah-blah-blah".

That doesn't work any more, or at least it didn't the last time I tried it.

I don't recall any "AI takes over the world" scenario in science fiction where the AI has the sensibilities of a Victorian maiden aunt. Someone should probably write that.

Ya which is why Sam should just start a new company, maybe spend a few months to catch back up but then it won't be tied down to any of this shenanigans. It's the best solution imo.

I have a feeling that's exactly what he's doing at Microsoft; at some point their "AI lab" will be spun off into a new company.
What is there to explain? Sam Altman played a stupid game, founding a sham nonprofit instead of a startup, and won a stupid prize when the board fired him for dishonesty.

Proper cash is a source of freedom. It doesn't even have serial numbers. It has weight and defined properties, but they took all that away from us quite a while ago. Until recently, the paper with numbers and faces on it still served as a fairly usable facsimile, but the powers-that-be continue to take those "privileges" away from us, the undeserved underfolk. Just wait until CBDCs are thrust upon us - that'll take care of the last vestiges of freedom that cash currency, and previously real money, had given us.

They have changed the concept of money, a natural right, into a constructed privilege.

At this point, that's the 95% conclusion.

If you were in this position and had even a sliver of defensibility to play, you would have already played it.

Because the longer this goes, the more sharks circle and the less likely OpenAI's survival becomes.

(UNLESS you thought you f---ed up and wanted Altman back so you want to be nice to him. But if you wanted that, you wouldn't have hired Shear as interim CEO to replace your previous interim CEO.)
And if Google Voice doesn't work, there's also the "2FA Mule" technique: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28251107 . It costs a few bucks a month so the original rant is still valid, but at least you don't have to deal with roaming, mucking with your actually-mobile device, or getting your location spilled.
I remember there were tools where you filtered all the matching values, then went back to game and played a little, came back filtered again, until one value stood out.
Creating a bespoke LLM for AI-generated documentation
The challenge of all this is that while everything going on looks totally bonkers from any normal sense of business, it’s hard to argue that the board isn’t following their charter. IMHO the mistake was setting up the structure the way it is and expecting that to go well. Even with MSFT they are obviously annoyed but also they have shareholders too and one reasonable question here is what the heck was Microsoft’s leadership doing putting billions of capital at risk with this entity that has such a wacky structure and ultimately governed by this non-profit board with a bizarre doomsdayish charter. Seriously if you haven’t read it, read it.

This whole thing has been wildly mishandled but there’s an angle here where the nonprofit is doing exactly what they always said they would do and the ones that potentially look like fools are Microsoft and other investors that put their shareholder capital into this equation thinking that would go well.

I grew up in a small-ish town. It was the worst. My street didn't have sidewalks and the only people in my neighborhood were very old. I was raised by a single mother who had cancer for the majority of my childhood. Getting her to take us places, like to see other kids, was awful. Either she couldn't or she just didn't want to. I usually didn't speak between the time I went home from school and the time I arrived the next day. I don't think many people understand that level of isolation, but I definitely believe it was pretty damaging to both child-me and adult-me.

Some people in my life don't understand why I'll never live outside of a city. I kinda feel like it's obvious in retrospect.
That's fine, but the OpenAI founders (including Sam Altman![1]) explicitly had in mind "AI kills everyone" as one of the main problems they were attempting to tackle when they started the organization. (Obviously starting OpenAI as a solution to this problem was a terrible mistake, but given that they did so, having a board charged with pulling the plug is better than not having that.)

Ireland, from a cursory check of their profile. But it doesn't invalidate your point, I don't think it's gendered their either.

Words in my mouth. I'm not advocating a ban, we're discussing whether a word is appropriate on this forum.

A bit of a stretch, considering _that_ word isn't on par with "fucker" in Spanish. So ironically, yeah, I think we would ban a Spanish poster for using it in this context?

But I concede your point that if it's not gendered, the intent isn't sexist.

This isn't a theoretical exercise where we get to do it all over again next week to see if we can do better, this is for keeps.

The point could have been made much more forceful by not releasing the report but holding it over Altman's head to get him to play ball.

> You can justify pretty much anything with ends-justify-the-means logic

Indeed. That's my point: the ends justify the means. This isn't some kind of silly game this is to all intents and purposes and arms race and those that don't understand that should really wake up: whoever gets this thing first is going to change the face of the world, it won't be the AGI that is your enemy it is whoever controls the AGI that could well be your enemy. Think Manhattan project, not penicillin.

That is just trying to game the charter in order to circumvent it and is a textbook case of what the board was appointed to prevent.

That charter is and always was a fig leaf, I am probably too old and cynical to believe that it was sincere, it was in my opinion nothing but a way to keep regulators at bay. Just like I never bought SBF's 'Altruism' nonsense.

The road to hell is paved with the best of intentions comes to mind.
I understand that LLaMa 70B isn't even at GPT-3's level yet.

Losing flushes is obviously bad.

I wonder how much perf is on the table in various scenarios when we can give up needing to flush. If you know the drive has some resilience, say, 0.5s of time it can safely writeback during, maybe you can give up flushes (in some cases). How much faster is the app then?

It's be neat to see some low-cost improvements here. Obviously in most cases, just get an enterprise drive with supercapa or batteries onboard. But an ATX power rail that has extra resilience from the supply, or an add-in/pass-through 6-pin sata power supercap... that could be useful too.
