I would be incredibly embarrassed about this if I were an OpenAI employee. Instead of making a statement of the broader principles they stand for and supporting a process of reconciling the differences between the board of directors, they abandoned any independence and rushed to daddy Microsoft to fix the problem for them.
It's really not that much, typically deployed 7th fleet CVN76, DESRON15 is like 10-20 ships depending on circumstance. They're grossly out gunned against entire PLA complex located in theatre, US posture in region is a deterrence force, not a strike force. US appears to have a "lot" in Yokosuka - that's the propaganda behind "presence" and fleet tracker, but functionally, not really.

We humans are often pretty bad, as agent Smith put 'we are a disease, a virus' if you have purely rational view without any emotions (including being human too and making it personal for example).

If you look at the news, horrible trumps positive big time, any day. It may not reflect actual truth on the ground, but AGI scanning internet knows nothing about reality on the street and everything about trending topics and Fox news headlines.

I guarantee you you can't have an objective viewpoint on mankind from just watching internet go and the one you get will be more negative than reality.

With such conclusions, and capability to collapse our society in a millisecond (it doesn't have to be nukes, it can be subtle subversion of financial and societal system for example), you really want a completely unknown and un-understandable entity to judge all of us?
> they rediscovered the reasons why old companies always end up operating in a particular way

The main reason is: it's hard to hire to stop the culture regressing to the mean. Every time you get it wrong at a senior level, it has a big negative effect.

Not at all. This is a false dichotomy
In the past, such criticism of a leader would show up internally via Googlegeist and the leader and their reports would all know and possibly adjust.

Cutting Googlegeist has knock on effects that create problems like this. The rank and file no longer have a way to communicate back up the chain honestly and things like this come out.

Well, for one rename() is not always meant to be durable. It can also be used for IPC, for example some mail servers use it to move mails between queues. Flushing before every rename is unexpected in that situation.

Fun fact: rename() is atomic with respect to running applications per POSIX, that the on-disk rename is also atomic is only incidental.
On NAND there is the NOP property (Number of programs). For SLC it is usually 4.
So, you can program a single page in up to 4 steps on SLC NAND.
If you write less than that, you're wasting space because you need to jump to the next (sub)page. Re-programming is not allowed on NAND.
Thank you for the article, I saw a comment from Sam in the HN post but agreed it did not look obvious that he got fired.
Fridman always comes off as painfully naive in conversations like these. "Aw shucks, can't two leaders just pick up the phone and have a human conversation and make the problem go away? What if the US got involved to help?" No, actually. "Well what if the US just completely abandoned their strategy in Europe and gave Russia what they want, would that make the problem go away?" Yes?
It's a small price to pay to subvert the democratic process to your advantage.
I trust the FDA (and the rest of the developed world's equivalents; when one agency fails the others may still be of use, like with the 737-MAX and the FAA) regulatory process to some extent - they fairly regularly reject meds Big Pharma would really like to have approved - and I have a good relationship with my doctor who winds up doing the prescribing.

One of my meds is $18k for a mililiter of fluid every 12 weeks, so I'd be happy to see some pricing reform.

Curious. Which podcast did you replace?

For what? He only partially translated the text. Pannun literally issues a threat in the video: "Jaanu khatra ho sagda hai" which translates to "Your life will be in Danger". He is telling the Sikhs not to board Air India flights after November 19th and that there will be threat to their lives. In other words, he is saying they will repeat what they did to Air India Flight 182: bomb the planes mid air. And that Sikhs should not travel Air India from November 19th onwards as he doesn't want any Sikh to lose his/her life in the bombings.

Just ask any Punjabi speaker and he will tell you the same thing!

I can't believe you people see conspiracy in everything! Get your head out of the sand. The West is harbouring dangerous criminals and terrorists. They owe you no loyalty. They will destroy your society. India is in the right here.
Great insight, Ian joined a year before I did and left 13 years after I left :-). This stuck out for me though ...

Then Google had layoffs. The layoffs were an unforced error driven by a short-sighted drive to ensure the stock price would keep growing quarter-to-quarter, instead of following Google's erstwhile strategy of prioritising long-term success even if that led to short-term losses (the very essence of "don't be evil"). The effects of layoffs are insidious.

I think calling it an unforced error is generous. When I left in 2010 I pointed out to Google that their falling CPC rates meant that the profit margin on search advertising was eroding faster than they were developing new income and faster than they were reducing costs[1] and as a result they were going to find themselves compromising their principles to appease wall street. Before they laid off people they compromised every other principle they had, they added advertising to places they earlier boasted about not advertising, they started selling more and more demographic information about their users to sketchier people. All so they could show that revenue number going up and to the right.

I predicted they would lay off people a lot sooner than they eventually did but I blame my misprediction on my misunderstanding of just how much money they could develop when they stopped worrying about whether or not it was good for their users. I completely concur though with how a layoff really changes people. I was at Intel when they did their first layoff in 1984 and suddenly everyone's attitude changed to "how do I stay off the layoff list?" That doesn't foster a creative, risk taking culture.

Someday the story of Google will make a good read, kind of like 'Bad Blood' but where the enemy isn't a sociopathic leader but a bunch of regular people who got addicted to being massively wealthy and threw out all of their principles when that wealth was threatened. Altruism of the rich is a function of their excess wealth.

[1] The primary reason I left was because the project I delivered which saved them $10M/yr year-after-year was considered "not significant" (read unpromotable).

No one expects China to actually invade Midway or Hawaii. However, they do want to secure their sea lines of communication including Taiwan, the Paracel Islands, the Spratly Islands, and the Malacca Strait. Due to lack of natural resources and overpopulation they depend on imports of food, fertilizer, fossil fuels, and iron ore just to survive. Hypothetically if they were to invade Taiwan they might take the risk of conducting long-range strikes against US bases in the theater in order to degrade our ability to respond.

Japan in 1941 had no chance to succeed long term by focusing on a land war in China because they were being cut off from access to crucial raw materials. To be clear I am not justifying their aggressive and genocidal military actions. Just pointing out that from that perspective their attacks on Midway and Hawaii made a certain amount of strategic sense and had at least a small chance of working.
> I don't like that the web added DRM, but given its existence, if Firefox said "you can't watch Netflix / Prime Video / etc in Firefox", they'd lose even more market share than they already have.

Firefox saying that now would have no effect, since they successfully managed to piss away approximately their entire market share despite going along with bullshit like that to not lose market share. Firefox saying that back when they had meaningful market share would've incurred significant cost calculations for everyone contemplating just throwing away the entire Firefox market.
You can double click the cpu graph at the bottom of the process list, which is probably quicker than going through the menu bar.
Mostly Google.
The parent comment was saying that those benefits could be applied to your build/CI scripts.

Consider a complex (1000+ line) YAML GitHub action that involves building, testing, linting, deploying, releasing, etc.

They are pretty common and are extremely hard to both read and write.

Dagger fixes those issues for complex pipelines since you get to use a "real" language.

> You mean "import functions into the CI code"? Why would I need that? It's usually possible through plugin systems, but I've never felt the need to put complex code into CI actions.

This might just not be a use case for you, which is okay. This is just a general property of modern programming languages, and the result of Dagger being plain Go/TypeScript/etc.

> Is that a test framework to test the CI code from within the CI? I hope I'll never want one!

At AWS we could only deploy on certain days, e.g. we wanted to ensure that our pipelines didn't deploy to too many regions at once, that we didn't deploy during holidays, or during peak shopping times of the year.

We had unit tests for our pipelines that ensured that the pipeline had the proper rules to enforce the above. I would imagine there are many other use cases for testing your pipeline.
I struggled so long with having to use Chrome for translations on Android until I found out that my favourite translating extension works with mobile Firefox just perfectly. See [3] on how to install it in Firefox Beta (maybe this method or even the extension itself is already available in Firefox Release).

You’re giving Google too much credit. They couldn’t even conceive of short videos. Why? See earlier in the thread.
> That's a type that matches tuples of any length, not a variable-length tuple.

A tuple with a type that matches variable lengths of tuples is a variable-length tuple for that piece of code. You're free to show me some official definitions that proves this wording false, but until then it's useless nitpicking. Though you should probably take that up with Guido, who also calls them variable-length tuples: https://github.com/python/typing/issues/30

> This whole statement doesn't make sense. I'm assuming you're still talking about type definitions and not actually tuples.

The statement makes perfect sense, thank you. If you have trouble understanding my messages without me repeating the whole definition every time, maybe just skip them.
I've tried to puzzle out what that verse means for years and had a few theories, and just finally got it and I wasn't interpreting "forces" right at all.
For me it's not so much about which extensions but my ability to edit the extensions to fit my needs. Little tweaks to change appearance or text or or some internal list the extension uses. I do this fairly regularly (maybe once a month?).

Yep. And we only notice the obvious ones. And the quality of AI comments will only improve over time. Which raises the question (unanswered as far as I can tell) of what to do about it, and whether it even really matters...
I could say the same as an American southerner! The existence of distinct regional identity preexists the state and continues after reunification. The North dominates in their politics just as in ours and there’s resentment about it in both countries, but it does not follow that there is no national identity or that a regional dictatorship created and funded foreign powers which could not survive without their indefinite aid is true expression of regional identity.

Other than the original reference implementation, you would not find any other fortran version of BLAS anymore. And nobody links to the reference for performance code. All written in either close to metal C with SIMD etc. or straight in assembly altogether. LAPACK is mostly fortran but there are also libraries slowly rewriting those in Rust/Julia and C.

If this is an engineer, they probably use whatever tool they're most familiar with, and that tool is probably set up for mostly engineering (code) work, in which case in my experience spell checking is a major distraction with an outsized ratio of false positives, because my identifiers aren't chosen for their validity in a wordlist. Even in markdown, it's more annoying than helpful most of the time, so I tend to leave it as a manual step that I mostly ignore. People know what I mean 99.99% of the time. So, that'd be my guess. Any sort of editor that's been tuned to an engineer's preferences which includes only manual spell checking.

Even if Graham supposedly booted Altman from Y Combinator, I don't see any reason to assume that a similar disagreement would have occurred in this case. Citing that history also seems to assume that Graham himself is an impeccable judge of character. And we don't necessarily have any reason to believe that. Seems to me like they're swinging at windmills with this narrative.

Given that the board provided very few details about their reasoning, the ideological divide seems like the most likely explanation because it's the most nebulous by nature. Also likely given the climate of hype/doom surrounding ChatGPT.
I learned the hard way that first, one has to get the facts right; second, understand the overarching story; and then, and only then, share that narrative with the team. Sometimes, the problem is not what you said but what you didn’t say

Doing so head-on solves the problem faster. Talking directly to someone or about the problem as it is has felt to me like people can understand and act quicker. Less malcontent is felt by those affected by such a person's incompetence.

Capturing the subtleties in such a black/white call-out usually is lost though to the reader/listener. It also doesn't lend to this to do this so publically, for the entire internet.

To use a googlism: I’m surprised Google can count that low.
Exactly. The article only mentions spending by PhRMA. While they are the biggest, there are other trade groups out there. Also, all of the big pharma companies have their own individual PACs.

For example, Sanofi individually spent $4.77M lobbying efforts in the US apart from any contributions to trade groups.

Yeah I recently left a startup that I worked at for 6 years to join Google. At the startup I was overworked+underpaid, generally found it impossible to eat more than 2 meals a day (and difficult to eat more than one), usually worked on Saturdays (and always on Black Friday), rarely made time to visit family, and always lived on tenterhooks thinking about the next RFP we had to win. I did care about the mission of the startup but I am significantly happier now that I'm eating 3 healthy+free meals per day, working out, walking my dog during long breaks, using great build tools and learning new things while still generally having enough focus time to meet the expectations of my role. Google doesn't seem that bad to me as I sit here on Thanksgiving weekend, between hangouts with my extended family, with enough compensation to treat them all to great food.

Help, my dual-boot Win/Linux is broken
I have a dual boot setup on a single NVME drive with Windows 11 and Linux Arch Endeavour. After not using Linux for several months, I want to boot into it again, but I can't see the boot option in my boot list. I'm confused about what to do. When I asked AI for help, I only got common answers and solutions that I couldn't follow. I feel like I need human assistance.

My comment was more of a reflection of the fact that you might have multiple different governance structures to your organization. Sometimes investors are at the top. Sometimes it's a private owner. Sometimes there are separate kinds of shares for voting on different things. Sometimes it's a board. So you're right, the depending on the governance structure you can have additional dragons. But, you can never prevent any of these three from being a dragon. They will always be dragons, and you can never wake them up.
Where I am at (Amsterdam), we see a slight awakening of the green voters, but that's drowned by the rise of right wing populism.

In the last 5 years I became convinced that unless some very very very strong and forceful measures are taken by governments all over the world to be more eco, we are in for something that people can't fathom.

Unfortunately, moderate steps would be too late now, and when governments and people become ready for less moderate steps in tackling climate change, it will be irreversible. I am atm convinced we already passed that threshold, but I still would like to see much more green change, maybe there is still some chance...
So you think most “HNers” spend most of their waking time outside of work on computers outside of gaming?

The last thing I want to do is look at a computer for free and do anything “productive” after spending all day at work.
Is it though?

When the fact is subjective to begin with?

I would even say “Roy Sullivan is the best in the world at being struck by lightning” is not a fact at all but an opinion.

And by giving an opinion you are passing judgement.

How can you claim saying something such as "Washington was the best president" is in some way a fact? Can you find it in reference books? Is it defined from the laws of nature? Does anyone even believe my quote?
I mean, let’s start here. Communication and self control. Would pick literally any of the Fortune 100 as exceeding this threshold.
