I could not think of something more that America needs. The government accountability office publishers reports all the time about government waste and malfeasance, but it is consistently, dare I say, pointedly, ignored. Having a separate independent agency, cast with investigating and prosecuting crime and criminals within the government itself would be amazing.

Same with congress.
Hard agree, especially with your first two paragraphs :)

The biggest tip I would add is to bin jest and start using vitest.

> Investors like success and returns but they don't like companies where all the employees have basically sworn out an oath of fealty to the CEO, as it means they (the investors) have basically no control over anything.

Investors love such companies. I, as an investor would love such a company, as long as I was sure that the CEO would stay. Investors tend to not have control over much of anything anyway unless they have a board seat. Other than that it's a shareholder meeting once per year where you get to sign off on the actions of the execs for the preceding year. But the better interpretation is that the people there have said "we are not loyal to the board" rather than that they are more loyal to Altman, that only goes for those that will follow him wherever he goes.

The best time for an investor to influence things is when you come on board. The best way for an investor to continue to be able to influence things is to have a controlling interest or very good relations with enough of the stockholders to effectively have a controlling interest.

That's far from a monopoly...

I agree with you. My point was that using slippery slope to discredit an argument is frustrating because it is practically impossible to know in advance whether the incremental change is part of a bigger objective, and yet we also know that the strategy can work and has been used in the past.
Dropping packets efficiently is really important for handling DDoS. AFAIK that was the original motivation for Cloudflare to adopt XDP.
> Couldn't they at least have put a lightweight linux distro on it?

ChromeOS is a lightweight Linux distro.
The refs & jump to def in bazel/bazel are using Kythe, yes. But that is Kythe's semantic index from running (also it's Kythe team running it, not bazel team). It's not the Codesearch trigram/text search (which again, I have no idea if it uses zoekt).
The vector in vector packet processing has little to nothing to do with vector instruction sets (SSE/AVX, VMX, RVV, etc.). Only the very latest CPUs (and historical supercomputers) have scatter/gather instructions capable of efficiently extracting packet header fields from multiple packets in parallel and if you have a large enough batch of packets process switching the vector register file is worth it to the kernel. It's just that most kernels don't spill the userspace vector registers on every context switch because it's more common to switch back to the same thread (or an other userspace thread) than using the vector registers inside the kernel. Both Linux and *BSD can and do make limited use of vector registers inside the kernel e.g. for fast encryption/decryption because it's worth the start up cost.

If I understood the VPP design and implementation details correctly they try to reduce the amortised cache misses for a batch of packets by running all packets in a batch through each software pipeline stage before processing the next stage. This should result in very good average instruction cache hit rates and should also help with data cache hit rates because packet headers are small and can be prefetched while the forwarding data structures e.g. 1 million IPv4 prefixes and their next hops can be hard to fit into L2 data caches and won't fit into L1 data caches.

I assume a carefully tuned implementation can make further gains by dedicating cores to specific pipeline stages to keep the data caches hotter at the cost of copying processed packet headers their next stage in new (sub-)batches. The actual packet content is only relevant for a few operations like encryption/decryption and modern highend NICs have line rate crypto engines to help with IPsec or TLS.
I had an ad that was 30 minutes or an hour long at one point, it was for a watch.

The unfortunate thing was, the ad itself was actually interesting, going into a lot of manufacturing details but I didn't have time to watch it them and there is no way to find it.
> I wouldn't be so sure of that.

Given that a bunch of the staff are acting like they're Heavens Gate members you also expect them to sabotage it? Or literally have a flavor-aid session in the office?

> Their investors, employees and donors might disagree with that.

Nobody wants to invest in a personality cult that's sworn an oath of fealty to one guy, dude. That's basically flushing money down the toilet, as this fiasco demonstrates. These lunatics are ready to sacrifice their children on twitter. You cannot work with people like that!
I'm not condescending. Chagas disease is a class of trypanosomiasis which currently the medical establishment doesn't know how to treat. It's due to a parasite. Parasites living in your heart and feeding on the tissue is not a good thing independent of whether or not it is related to fatty deposits in the vessels.

I'm genuinely baffled that in a discussion of heart disease, actual infection is being handwaved off as irrelevant and only another possible means to cause fatty deposits.

I'm sure our backgrounds are really different. I'm a knowledgeable layperson and a lot of people are dismissive of me because of that.

It doesn't mean your "level" is somehow implicitly above mine anymore than one language is inherently "superior" to another. Language is a tool. Its purpose is communication. If one chooses language that fails to adequately communicate with the target audience, the failure is on the speaker.

Let me add that while I clearly am not as well versed in fatty deposits in the circulatory system as you are, I am leery of any plan to globally suppress any class of molecule.

The brain has the most cholesterol of any organ in the body. If we suppress fats globally to "prevent heart disease," what might this do to the brain?

Bone marrow is fatty. It's a critical part of the immune system where white blood cells are produced. If we suppress fat globally, what does this do to our immune system?

They invented antibiotics not that many decades ago and announced "the end of disease." Fast forward to today and we are wrestling with antibiotic resistant infections and drug shortages.

I'm leery of any claim that "this one neat trick will be the end of this entire class of disease." In this case, I readily know of actual diseases that specific one neat trick wouldn't help at all which are pertinent to the category known as heart disease.

Ask HN: Black Friday Discounts/Specials
It's that time of year, but I haven't seen a HN thread about it yet. I believe last year folks had some Github repos setup with information, and the thread comments had some additional great leads and special discounts for HN users from some places.

What are you looking for, or what have you found this year?
And there is no evidence that Github is violating any open source licenses.

So they are going to be training on exactly the same data that is available to all.
Democratic Rep. Anna Eshoo announces retirement after three decades in Congress
This doesn't say anything that's not already common knowledge, and doesn't really jive with the fact that 90% of staff signed a letter threatening to quit if they don't get Altman back.
The real problem, in my view, is that the board's stated mission is simply impossible. The amount of potential profit precludes ever "burning it all down" regardless of how unsafe it may be or how earnest the board is. The Big Boys would never let that sort of money escape them.

Assuming AGI is possible at all, this is why something like OpenAI should never have even been started if the concern was anything like ensuring safety or even being a net benefit to the world.

Fortunately, I think AGI isn't possible (at least not within a short enough timeline to matter). But I do think there's been nothing but recklessness in terms of what has already been accomplished. In the short term, uninvolved others are inevitably going to suffer. I have a problem with any group of people deciding that others are expendable.
Do you think this account is acting in earnest? They claim, that they (reddit user) and the board acted jointly and voiced concerns to Sam. The Reddit user makes it sound as if they are in direct contact with OpenAI leadership. Their word choice however comes off as junior and not senior like using “dude” or “bs.”
yeah nswag has been pretty consistent i can recommend aswell.
It's appropriate, but abstract.

Charities aren't charities in the colloquial sense of the word. It's not a truly altruistic collaboration of volunteers giving their time to help a cause.

Non-profit simply means that every bit of revenue made goes back into the company instead of given out to shareholders. Which includes paying your labor.

It being a non-profit is exactly why we can view the operating expenses and salaries of the public facing executives. For accountability.
A marketplace has never in history given everyone the same deal.

SEC investigations address both aspects, when it gets past investigation to litigation, they do civil litigation themselves and refer to DOJ for potential criminal prosecution.
I'm absolutely astonished by this. He lives in the Middle East, which does not have any extradition treaties with America. Granted, he might transit a country that has a treaty, but I'm really shocked that he would give him. What did they have over him? Maybe it was China…
The keywords are there on every line to make them easy to verbally read. This is most important in the case of set x = 7, the keyword makes it clear that we're trying to mutate a variable, not assert equality.

What is interesting is that Sam noted that OpenAI board should go after his shares if he were to go off on the company...which implies some sort of ownership that others had no prior knowledge of.

Any railing about Citadel is a good signal for ignorance about the traditional finance markets and susceptibility to crypto and meme stock rubbish.
No apologies needed, but I appreciate the thoughtful response.I agree that surveys are not the best tool. Unfortunately, for a lot of work that covers social components, they are a common method. While wealth is easily quantifiable, people's feelings towards topics like ethics are often best done by asking them.

I think the Piff study is just really flawed because they were trying to use a quantifiable proxy.

"we used observers’ codes of vehicle status (make, age, and appearance) to index drivers’ social class."

IMO they chose a really bad proxy, and they never validated it. It's completely based on an assumption, and one that we can all probably point to personal examples that violate it. To me, that's "hand-wavy" science. To your point, I could probably come up with a handful of different explanations that correlate car make/model to seemingly aggressive driving behavior. Some of them probably correlate with wealth and others not so much.

I do think there's a danger of confirmation bias. Just like the nature study demonstrates that there is a normative belief that wealthy people act less ethically, it's really easy for our status-obscessed ape minds to latch onto studies that support it. Even when they aren't the greatest.
> The only sensible model of "alignment" is "model is aligned to the user",

We have already seen that users can become emotionally attached to chat bots. Now imagine if the ToS is "do whatever you want".

Automated cat fishing, fully automated girlfriend scams. How about online chat rooms for gambling where half the "users" chatting are actually AI bots slowly convincing people to spend even more money? Take any online mobile game that is clan based, now some of the clan members are actually chatbots encouraging the humans to spend more money to "keep up".

LLMs absolutely need some restrictions on their use.

Mercurial (aka hg) was also gaining popularity at the same time as git. The interface was a lot nicer and more sane than git, but it had some serious performance limitations that hampered it.

Both were definitely way better than SVN/CVS/etc.
No, I’m using an ADC modified for use with LD captures [0]. I did this because it’s cheaper in theory, although with the amount of time I’ve dumped into getting it working and keeping it working, the $500 or so for the Domesday Duplicator may well have been a better choice.

The letter from OpenAI employees to the board expressly says:

"We, the undersigned, may choose to resign from OpenAl and join the newly announced Microsoft subsidiary run by Sam Altman and Greg Brockman. Microsoft has assured us that there are positions for all OpenAl employees at this new subsidiary should we choose to join."

I think it's safe to say there probably isn't any non-solicitation clause; or at least, it's a very weak one or specific one that Microsoft isn't violating (i.e. you won't reach out over LinkedIn).
Unlikely. Non-poaching agreements are illegal under federal antitrust law.
There's zero corroboration on that account and it sounds like a real peanut gallery bullshitter to me. I would bet it's fake.
I've yet to see a more clear example of solicitation and MS is very much out front with this, presumably their ability to protect their interest in OpenAI outweighs the risk that the competition (Google, etc) would snap up the employees. Think of it as a stop-gap move to ensure that people won't leave and it looks different already. If there is any legal risk (which I doubt) then it is more than offset by their most simple excuse to ignore it, besides the legalities involving non-poaching agreements to begin with.

Dude they're retweeting heart emojis and carrying water in _the most disturbing_ fashion on twitter. They're 100% declaring that they're his personal army, ride or die. I don't know how you aren't seeing this. It's completely abnormal behaviour for adults.

These are interesting, because from an outside observer what's described as the allegations here don't seem particularly damning, with the exception of the hostile work environment allegation against Greg, however the only significant allegation is completely irrelevant to the larger statements made in the letter.

It seems like they are making very strong statements but not really supporting them very much in the "details", and didn't sign it. I'm not sure I can take anonymous allegations with minimum details at face value.

OK, testing it out now, I was pleasantly surprised with its calm tone and ability to pivot if given new information (which GPT4 also does well) as opposed to being obstinate or refusing to change its world view (which Bing often does).

Side note, I can't find a way to delete conversations in the UI. I do not like this. Other than that, I look forward to testing the recollection during long prompts. My past experience was "I read the first 3 sentences and skipped the rest".
maybe we have a difference in terminology. The interconnects between the grid and primary producers are often owned an managed by the retail company. Who pays for them is often a sticking point and can go both ways.

What I think is indisputable is that it is the retail electric company who manages and maintains their grid, and manages it's demand and stability.

>sellers are the ones directly paying for the grid infrastructure.

This is absolutely not the case for the vast majority of that infrastructure. You just mentioned small connections. If you look at the grid, it is basically all retail companies[1]

Journalists who work with whistleblowers typically validate that the person in question is reliable and is who they say they are. How do we know this was written by former employees?

This, honestly, feels like it ought to be removed. It is not a reliable letter without names or some kind of verification, just a random post on a website.
Why? The board announced the removal of a CEO which they have the power to do. It upset a bunch of employees who liked the CEO. The board is in search of a new CEO.

OpenAI’s valuation isn’t because Sam Altman is worth $90B it’s the tech. The tech is fine. Investors have no reason to worry about their investment in the tech.

The people under pressure are Sam Altman trying to reclaim his job he was fired from and Satya Nadella who is running a campaign to eat OpenAI. None of that is related to the functioning tech of OpenAI, all of it is related to the drama of what happened. Drama is not equal to money.
