> If a host tried to flush after every write to force the latter behavior, it would end up with the same problem.

So? No reason to break the contract that flush makes all submitted writes durable. The drive can compact space in the background.
If only it had a proper UNIX subsystem, instead of something to make DoD happy.

That was Microsoft's biggest mistake regarding GNU/Linux adoption.

I only cared about Slackware in 1995, because Windows NT POSIX wasn't enough for university work.
I have been able to fix these random lags by doing multiple full disk reads. The first one will take very long, because it will trigger these lags. Subsequent ones will be much better.

The leading theory I have read is that maintenance/refreshing on the ssd is not done preventative/correctly by the firmware and you need to trigger it by accessing the data.
It's rare, and that makes it a spectacular leg up when you have a person who is great at it.
All you're really describing is why this shouldn't be a non-proft and should just be a government effort.

But I assume, from y our language, you'd also object to making this a government utility.
It can’t tell if the drive is lying to it.
Before OpenAI, Sam Altman was fired from Y Combinator by his mentor
It's bad but I consider doing this for code review sometimes.

> Non-consumer drives solve the problem with back-up capacitance.

I’m pretty sure they used to be on consumer drives too. Then they got removed and all the review sites gave the manufacturer a free pass even though they’re selling products that are inadequate.

Disks have one job, save data. If they can’t do that reliably they’re defective IMO.
This has always been the case? At least it was a course learning when we wrote our own device drivers for minux, even the controllers on spinning metal fib about flush.
Helen could have one. She just had to publicly humiliate Sam. She didn't. Employees took over like a mob. Investors pressured board. Board is out. Sam is in. Employees look like they have say. But really, Sam has say. And MSFT is the kingmaker.
You are getting it. Use less and smaller tools if possible. And if you're on Node 18, node comes with a watch mode built in that you can leverage.

You can alternatively use esbuild to handle the TypeScript compilation since it is faster than tsc for that, and just keep tsc around for the typechecker.
This is the whole point of a FLUSH though. You expect latency penalties and worse performance (and extra pages) if you flush, but that's the expected behaviour: not for it to (apparently) completely disregard the command while pretending like it's done it.
The only people who are at blame are the pedophile and the terrible parents of the girl.
More effort spent on early commercialization like keeping ChatGPT running might mean less effort on cutting edge capabilities. Altman was never an AI safety person, so my personal hope is that Anthropic avoids this by having higher quality leadership.
Sutskever says there's a "phase transition" at the order of 9 bn neurons, after which LLMs begin to become really useful. I don't know much here, but wouldn't the monomodels become overfit, because they don't have enough data for 9+bn parameters?
It’s one of the first screensavers in the dropdown. Worked for me, albeit slowly.
The bit about PG and Altman parting ways is interesting I wonder if anyone wants to share more :).
Yes it’s well known that children in dense walkable mixed use cities such as New York spend all their time outside.
The error here is that people have somehow been convinced that they need to give a reason. I think "because I like it" as far as reasons go is good and comprehensive enough.

What I see with safety is mostly that, AI shouldnt re-enforce stereotypes we already know are harmful.

This is like when Amazon tried to make a hiring bot and that bot decided that if you had "harvard" on your resume, you should be hired.

Or when certain courts used sentencing bots trhat recommended sentencings for people and it inevitably used racial stastistics to recommend what we already know were biased stats.

I agree safety is not "stop the Terminator 2 timeline" but there's serious safety concerns in just embedding historical information to make future decisions.
For some reason I dkubt it

I thought that was in fact standard practice in any sort of serious software engineering. Do you not audit your dependencies? I mean, running ASan is basically free.
Yes you are probably right, but generally I don't get why AGI needs to be 100% mimicking every aspect of human, just better/faster. Like proverbial skynet can have extreme excellence in one/few aspect of general intelligence but can be muted to almost 0 on everything else, say emotions, yet still be falling into AGI behavior and could take over the world. It doesn't need to simulate gut interactions to get there.

And I think for such an entity we may be closer to emerging than we like, especially if it can traverse whole internet including this comment and make summaries out of it out of reach to mere mortals.
As I watch many people using their UNIX like computers, as if time has stood still in 1980's terminals, I would say it that 2023 Emacs would do just fine.

Really, entering in some coffe shop coding sessions, is hardly any different from an IBM X Windows terminal into a DG/UX session in the university computer lab, now they are using a laptop and something else instead of twm or an ambar based text terminal.

This. Think they mostly sell OEM SSDs under their name, if you buy a laptop or pre built system from a major manufacturer chances are not that low that you find a SK Hynix SSD in there.

Oh, cmon. Why must people reach like this?

"your brain is reducible to a computer with inputs/outputs like any other, all we have to do is reimplement it"

It still is though, you will reach human intelligence by just modeling the brain. The problem is that you probably won't reach an emotionally stable human since you'll be missing all the emotional/hormonal signaling that comes from the rest of the body, but we can emulate that without having to model the full complexity of the gut.
I would be surprised if the original board’s reasons for caving in were not influenced by personal factors. They must’ve been receiving all kinds of threats from those involved and from random twitter extremists.

It is troubling because it shows that this “external” governance meant to make decisions for the good of humanity is unable to enforce decisions. The internal employees were obviously swayed by financial gain as well. I don’t think that I would behave differently were I in their shoes honestly. However, this does definitively mean that they are a product and profit driven group.

I think that Sam Altman is dishonest and a depressing example of what modern Americans idealize. He has all these ideals he preaches but will happily turn on if it upsets his ego. On top of that he is held up as some star innovator when in reality he built nothing himself. He just identified one potential technological advancement and threw money at it with all his billionaire friends.

Gone are the days of building things in a garage with a mission. Founders are no longer visionary engineers and designers. The path now is clear. Convince some rich folks you’re worthy of being rich too. When they adopt you into wealth you can start throwing shit at the wall until something sticks. Eventually something will and you can claim visionary status. Now your presence in the billionaire club is beyond reproach because you’re a “founder”.
Video-meme heavy, content-light piece from someone who doesn't like Unix, so wants you to reimplement it (badly) in Go. Lame.
Keeping D'Angelo on the board is an obvious mistake, he has too much conflicting interest to be level headed and has demonstrated that. The only people that benefited from all this are Microsoft and D'Angelo. Give it a year and we will see part 2 of all this.

Further where is the public accountability? I thought the board was to act in the interests of the public but they haven't communicated anything. Are we all just supposed to pretend this never happend and that the board will now act in the public interest?

We need regulations to hold these boards which hold so much power accountable to the public. No reasonable AI regulations can be made until the public are included in a meaningful way, anyone that pushes for regulations without the public is just trying to control the industry and establish a monopoly.
Good job Tim. I hope Epic succeedes with their anti-trust cases. Smaller companies that can't afford this type of legal battle will enjoy the benefits if they win.

AI will be in the fore front in multiple elections globally in a few years.

And it'll likely be doing it with very little input, and generate entire campaigns.

You can claim that "people" are the ones responsible for that, but it's going to overwhelm any attempts to stop it.

So yeah, there's a purpose to examine how these machines are built, not just what the output is.
I also made some pages (around a decade ago) which implement various optimisation algorithms, including GA (with just mutation, with just crossover, and with both). The task they're solving is less interesting though: find the brightest point on a randomly-generated image. In fact, being so low-dimensional, the enumeration algorithm is probably the best choice!

Ah, this looks great. This is how you do it, by being able to customize by embedding you get the best of both worlds.
Yeah, it should be extremely obvious the reason most of the employees were willing to walk is they've hitched their wagons to Altman. The board of openai put the presumed party day all of them were anticipating in jeopardy. Not all of us live in this god forsaken place to "work with cool tech".

Who did he con? Binance wasn't found to be a rug and don't think it will be. He let people move money around freely and didn't obey anti money laundering laws. So maybe his service benefited "bad guys" as deemed by the state.

So yes there is a difference between gambling away deposits and allowing someone to use your service without taking their name and social security number and reporting it to government authorities

Profile switching is the usual app switching, handled by the desktop environment. Just like Firefox-to-Chrome would be.

Container switching is just tab switching, which Firefox handles well enough. If you need to go deeper in your tab history, you might need to scroll/click, but for the most-recent 9 tabs, it's right there.
Yes it is. Whenever the game crashes it showed a congratulatory message and the level select screen, so sega's QA wouldn't notice that it crashed. Hitting the console can cause such a crash.

The interesting thing is you used economic values to show their importance, not what innovations or changes they achieved. Which is fine for ordinary companies, but OpenAI is supposed to be a non-profit, so these metrics should not be relevant. Otherwise, what's the difference?
The most clever way I have found is through a mathematic structure with the same shape, i.e., a magic square:

LockBit Affiliates Are Exploiting Citrix Bleed, Government Agencies Warn
It’s a good question. I’m not sure of exactly the answer, but I suspect the answer is similar to the answer “why do Americans speak German with an American accent?”

If you learn how to pronounce specific vowels, consonants, etc. in a particular way, it takes a LOT of effort to learn how to pronounce these in a different way. You can approximate to a good extent, but most researchers say that if you don’t develop this skill as a child, you won’t ever be able to pronounce things in a way that sounds like a native speaker.

Presumably, the models have been exposed to significantly more American accents than other accents, and learning how to pronounce phonemes with subtle differences without accepting a “close enough” approximation is a big challenge, especially given that there is already a threshold for acceptability at which level you can still sound like a native English speaker.

I do and I do get stuff like OP, overeating for weightlifters that aren't professionals is stupid really long term strategy, you just expose your body to much more toxins in food and degrade whole body faster (without even going into supplements part).

Ie today I skipped breakfast since I was too busy with work and kids, no ill effect mentally. But if for example my wife would do the same, her sugar levels would drop low and she would be easily irritable, and generally would suffer quite a bit.
Ollama does this. I run it in a container on my homelab (Proxmox on a HP EliteDesk SFF G2 800) and 7B models run decently fast on CPU-only. Ollama has a nice API and makes it easy to manage models.

Together with ollama-webui, it can replace ChatGPT 3.5 for most tasks. I also use it in VSCode and nvim with plugins, works great!

Great comment. You interspersed the two, but instead of using management I like to say that it's leadership that matters. Getting a bunch of people (smart or not) to all row in the same direction with the same vision is hard. It's also commonly the difference between success and failure. Of course the ICs deserve admiration and respect, but people (ICs) are often quick to dismiss leadership.

A great analogy can be found on basketball teams. Lots of star players who should succeed sans any coach, but Phil Jackson and Coach K have shown time and again the important role leadership plays.
Sure if you’re one of the first names to sign. But let’s say most of the company has signed, you earn a 19-bit salary, there’s now a good chance that this guy will come back and be your boss again. Are you really going to refuse to sign and withhold your support for him? No way.
Strong agree. HN is like anywhere else on the internet but with with a bit more dry content (no memes and images etc) so it attracts an older crowd. It does, however, have great gems of comments and people who raise the bar. But it's still amongst a sea of general quick-to-anger and loosely held opinions stated as fact - which I am guilty of myself sometimes. Less so these days.
My boat is for sale. Most prospective buyers will get a marine survey which will identify that among other minor things it needs a new bilge pump.

If they don't pay for the survey I'll sort them out with a new bilge pump anyway.

(This isn't an argument against surveyors though. Mine sorted me out with a new gearbox and had half the boat rewired at the vendor's expense)
What tribe is that? And why would they favor one network over the others?
Yeah, I think Larry there is because ChatGPT has become too important for USA.
The low-density areas within city limits are functionally suburbs. You basically said as much yourself. Whether they have their own name and mayor or town council is a historical accident, not significant in this context. For example, Detroit is one of the geographically largest cities in the US. I lived there, and I lived in an adjoining suburb. There was no difference with respect to density or development type. The stroad near our house in Detroit was actually worse than the stroad near our house in Hazel Park. Whatever you can do within the "suburban style" parts of Seattle you can do in a politically separate suburb, as long as there are votes.

Cities absorbing their near suburbs (as Detroit did long ago except for Hamtramck and Highland Park) and using weight of numbers to force change would possibly allow for greater density and more walkable areas in those places, but nowadays no current suburb would allow that to happen (because of property values, school funding, etc.) so it's a pipe dream. Transit would not be affected, since that's usually regional anyway. Again, the only way to affect how suburbs are built is to vote there. Running away helps the individual, but doesn't help society, and I'm sorry that people would rather not hear that about themselves but it's the truth here in reality.
There are perks to not signing for anyone that actually worked at OpenAI for on the mission rather than the money.
I was born and raised in Vicksburg, MS. As kids, we rode bikes, made makeshift dams in Clear Creek, threw dirt clods at each other in the woods, played sports in backyards, and I don't remember ever asking our parents to take us to the park or downtown. We had grass, trees, fresh air and good company. I miss those days.

I'd be shocked if D'Angelo doesn't get kicked off. Even before this debacle his AI competitor app poe.com is an obvious conflict of interest with OpenAI.
Correct, but LocalAI has a compatible API for those who needs it.
No one who wants to capitalize on AI appears to take it seriously. Especially how grey that safety is. I'm not concerned AI is going to nuke humanity, I'm more concerned it'll re-enforce racism, bias, and the rest of human's irrational activities because it's _blindly_ using existing history to predict future.

We've seen it in the past decade in multiple cases. That's safety.

The decision that the topic discusses means Business is winning, and they absolutely will re-enforce the idea that the only care is that these systems allow them to re-enforce the business cases.

That's bad, and unsafe.
On what premise you assume that D'Angelo will have any say there? At this point he won't be able to do any moves - especially with Larry and Microsoft overseeing all that stuff.
Volvo/Polestar is owned by the Chinese now and they seem to have no problem with the unions.

Unions operate similarly in much of Northern Europe.. you could trigger a conflict with EU, and you think Tesla would want to risk much of the European market? Tesla wouldn’t exist without Europe (well, mostly Norway)

How about they just respect workers rights? Here’s a crazy idea: give the same rights to workers in the US too.
> OpenAI is supposed to be a non-profit, so these metrics should not be relevant

You're doing the same thing except with finances. Non-profit doesn't mean finances are irrelevant. It simply means there are no shareholders. Non-profits are still businesses - no money, no mission.
It says "Why do paywalls exist", of course to elicit payment for content, that's obvious. But what is less obvious is that they exist because we're centralizing a lot of information in a few places, and these sites require a lot of funding to operate.

In the age of dirt cheap cloud hosting we still depend on these huge sites for our content. I know it sounds like a massive simplification, and I don't claim to have the details on how to improve the situation, but I think we need more decentralized content creation.

Often when I hit a paywall i will simply Google the topic and sure enough there is an independent blog with the same story. That blog costs a fraction to run compared to the big news site I first landed on.
