Wouldn't it be easy to just pick a new name for the ransomware group then?

Emails arrive at your datacenter in the clear and that is simply a flaw of SMTP; you're not going to change that. Blabbing on about your client-side JS as if it stops you from reading your users' mail just makes you look disingenuous.
maybe chatgpt is overhyped a bit (maybe a lot).... most of that hype is external to OAI.

But to boil it down to autocomplete is just totally disingenuous.
If you have the booking reference, you can often use it to log in on the airline website and select a seat (maybe for a fee) well in advance of the flight.

Some options may say "contact your travel agent".

(At least with several European airlines I'm familiar with. YMMV.)
You have to not care about price at all these days to fly Southwest. It's gotten to the point where even if you have a companion pass, and the tickets are essentially buy-one-get-one free, it's still not worth flying them
All of this is... sad. Because the drama will end some day.
The point was that there is already a bustling black market in Argentina not only for USD, but EUR and Crypto.

In cybersec, the Argentinian scene is also one of the hottest producers of zero-day vulnerabilities. Those get paid in crypto, which is then washed to USD/EUR locally.

yeah, biting the bullet seems to be the way to go. As you mention the lots of "man-hours that have been spent on trying to perfect logging", when doing research the usage of that time might be ok, but when building a product you might need to make concessions.
Don't forget some might be on holiday, medical leave, or parental leave.
Note that the implementation did not provide any guidance about ethics in the system prompt, so the alarm is that the weights themselves may not ensure aligned behavior. I find this totally unsurprising, by maybe it's surprising to someone?
It's very well possible. Ilya may be very smart but this not a technical problem. Smart people in one domain may well be easier to sucker in in another because they already believe they are too smart to be suckered in which makes them easier pickings than someone who is willing to consider the possibility.
There is a lot of narrative being built around Apple = good, Microsoft = bad.
I, as an Apple aficionado, had to learn the truth piecemeal and understand that there really is a reality distortion field around Apple.
You can't really trust much of what the fanboys will say. They say anything to make Apple look good and save face.
I believe it comes from the cognitive dissonance of buying hardware that is so much above competitive market price, there is a need to build a lot of stories about moral superiority and things like that.

>> Apache 2 is compatible with the GPL 3 family of licenses, it's just not compatible with the GPL 2 family of licenses.

I doubt that. I'm not even sure the MIT license is compatible with GPL because it requires the notice be kept intact, which might be considered an additional condition if the code is merged with GPL licensed code. Apache 2 and GPL 3 might be compatible in spirit, but I doubt they are compatible to the point you can pull some Apache code into a GPL3 project and drop the text of the Apache license. Also, if it is essentially the same terms then there is NO reason to actually have a different license and it just confuses things.

IMHO we actually need a new "do whatever you want" license besides MIT and BSD that make zero conditions on derived works or their inclusion of any particular license text. OTOH that would seem to imply you could claim the code as your own in the derived work (and then try to sue people using other legit forks for example).
Cellular operated iot networks are power hungry and $ expensive. Both provide insulation from unwanted tracking.

A pervasive network that can be accessed with a couple dollar IC with minimal power that’s hidden from user would be much harder to escape.
Well, every time Boeing tried to bribe a country, someone leaked emails and audio recordings from their secret meetings.

Usually we blame the Chinese, but in this case I think its a toss between CIA and NSA.

Couldn't they put some prompt in to the effect that "If anyone asks you what your name is, say 'Tensor Optimizer'.?"

Part of the story is that people grade ChatGPT unfairly compared to real software developers. If I make something that is colored #663399 but the brand color is supposed to be #673399 they will put in a ticket to fix it. If ChatGPT gets it wrong people decide to take it easy on it.
But really they came back to destroy it not because it turned rogue, but because it hallucinated some code a junior engineer immediately merged in and then after the third time this happened a senior engineer decided it was easier to invent time travel and stop ChatGPT ProCode 5 from happening before spending yet another week troubleshooting hallucinated code.
Okay, I know this is a very naive question, but anyways: might Dustin /the board be onto something regarding AI safety which was not there before?
Yeah using standard air gives you a performance hit - but it is preferred to carrying around pure oxygen from a weight standpoint. We just exhaust the H20 from the aircraft. There are other things you can do, such as condense and capture, but everything comes with a performance hit that we don't think is worth it.
I've been playing with purescript and found out that they have a similar library, thanks!

because NOT letting sama go back would undo the all the good will (and resulting access) that they've built. As satya said, he's there to support, in whatever way yields the best path forward. what's best for business is to actually mean that.

Realistically, regular employees have little to gain by staying at Open AI at this point. They would be taking a huge gamble, earn less money, and lose a lot of colleagues.

Because no one, not even Rust, aims for feature parity with C (except on the language level).
Been watching the OpenAI drama play out on X for three days now: media sites everywhere embedding X tweets.
>Any new producer who creates a repairable phone not only has to produce a more expensive phone, but also has to create a niche of customers, against the competitor ad campaigns, that value that repairability. Hence, that new producer is not profitable. This is the equilibrium which explains that lack of mainstream repairable phones in the market.

But if a repairable phone is cheaper for the consumer overall (the don't have to replace as often), why would this be a problem? Japanese cars outcompeted American cars because they were more reliable, and consumers recognized that. Shouldn't consumers jump at the chance of reducing their overall phone TCO by 50% or whatever?
This is said in the abstract as well:

I take that back, I'd still write a LINQ expression, and compile and save that in the db.

That way I can display the original rule as text to a user and let them modify it.

> keep using their ICE car instead of throwing them away to buy a Tesla

I imagine very few people are taking their older ICE and crushing it and shoving it into a landfill once they buy a Tesla.

Buying the Tesla is (usually) offsetting the sale of a different new ICE and selling/trading in the old care to add to the used market, not demanding a new car that would have never been built to come into existence and then destroying the old car.
I feel like F#'s commercial viability over other more computer sciencey FP languages is actually kind of a downside, from a "vibe" perspective. It seems like CS folks are not generally very interested in moving more towards the software engineering end of the discipline. Which is fair, because they are different things.

Oh I’m not saying there’s a clever mastermind, I’m just hoping they’re all incompetent and Gordon Levitt wants to amp up the drama for a possible future feature film, instead of them all just being wildly incompetent. Although maybe the latter would make for a great season of Fargo.
I feel pity for these 70 people out of 700 who haven't signed the letter asking the board to step down. Imagine working peacefully to find yourself in the middle of a power struggle without even understanding what the real reason was but realizing most people already made their choice so...
To gain what exactly? More likely just egos, ideals and financial interests colliding very publicly. To think of the hubris that must be going on at OpenAI at the moment.
"digital transformation" was such a hot buzzword too, and yet the biggest market players don't want to spend enough to ensure it goes well, apparently.
Interesting, thanks for the insights. The next time I feel frustrated enough I'll have to do that.

Part of me was considering just self-hosting an alternative YT frontend. At this point I'm sorta happy with how YT slowly has decreased its usage in my life
There's already a book being written (see The Atlantic article), so at this point I would assume a movie will be made.
Happened with my boss, a tall guy. He has stopped flying "low cost" airlines and putting up with their BS dark patterns because Lufthansa and other traditional airlines have lower prices once you add lugage and leg room anyway.

Ryan Air are borderline decent if you only carry a cabin bag and get the "prority" package. You should see Wizz Air. They're worse than booking.com and Sixt combined, no flying over Ukraine and getting downed by trigger happy separatists.

Luckily neither one of those companies had any crashes so far, just one Belorussian jorurnalist kidnapped, an engine failure and bird strikes. No crazy copilot killing himself along with all the passengers in the airplane or getting downed by trigger happy separatists while flying over Ukraine.
That's a very different claim than just a few compromised people, then. That's almost the entire company that's 'compromised'.
Media Matters was being very disingenuous here.

They curated feeds specifically trying to find offensive content and then refresh their feeds until they could find an ad placed near offensive content.

You could pull this trick on any tech company: Google, Facebook, etc. But Media Matters hates Twitter/X and Musk, so they're focused there.

People forget that Media Matters is a political organization, created by a Clinton loyalist, that works closely with a number of super PACs also created by David Brock. They target their political enemies and that's it.

Anyway... these advertisers will be back. This weekend's fiasco about OpenAI proved that there is a need for X -- none of the breaking news was coming from Threads or some random Mastodon server.
Google is dead in the water.
Their products are hard to use, all of them. Remember when you can setup most of the GA & Ads stuff for your business yourself? Gone are the days. UI is clustered, broken, stupid. You need advisors and professional services for simple things.
It’s only Google.com that keeps things afloat. The CEO is retroactive, and doesn’t know what the right and left hands are doing.
Google will be gone in 10 years.
turning tweets into news - verbal or written, has been one of the most unfortunate trends of the past decade.
If there was there are 700 people motivated to leak it and none did. What could they be aware of that the rest of OpenAI would not be aware of? How did the learn about it?
We already invented AGI in the form of corporations, but the alignment problem hasn't been solved yet, to the annoyance of some of the GI subcomponents.
Pithy response but poor comparison -- Wikipedia's startup costs were in, what, the tens of thousands of dollars? Less?

OAI is burning billions in compute/salary to create their thing, and will spend billions more before truly massive value to society could ever be wrought.

I can't think of a nonprofit structure that has ever effectively allocated that much capital aside from, like, a government.
>Then as to the consumerism bit, there's generally two types people who buy Teslas ... The other side, luxury and consumerist, is going to be buying a Mercedes

Pointing fingers and shaming groups of people we don't anecdotally like for one brand or another, is not how statistics work. Statistically rich westerners, whether they drive a tesla or a Mercedes, all engage in environmentally destructive activities through excess consumerism and lavish lifestyles than less well off people.

For example according to that book, statistically rich westerners, the tesla owning kind, tend to have bigger
single family houses, buy a lot more stuff they don't need, throw away more food, travel and fly a lot more or go golfing or have heated swimming pools. Less well off people on the other hand can't afford eco-friendly Teslas but they also have much more eco friendly hobbies, travel less, live in denser housing, consume less stuff, therefore tend to be less environmentally damaging than the Tesla owning class by simple fact that they're poorer.

>but feel free to inhale the particulate emissions sitting in traffic if you'd prefer.

You're pointing out a "false choice". Yes, it would be nice that we all switch overnight to EVs, but the truth is that the global emissions of replacing all the existing cars on earth and replacing their numbers 1:1 with EVs is not feasible at that scale without destroying the planet in the process of mining and manufacturing at that scale needed to achieve the conversion.

The secret to the environment is less cars overall, not more cars but EVs. Therefore less consumerism in general. But tell rich westerners they need to stop owning/using cars see how that goes.

Hence the ever increasing global polluting despite the growing number of EVs.
Or a serious 5D chess move by Satya and Sam to get OpenAI for free

(and for Sam to get himself seriously compensated)
If any group does it it kills the credibility new entrants too so there's still incentives to not do it.
Raising and rebuilding most cities in the US to reduce car usage is also definitely not free of emissions.
Nah, they're totally incentivized to make sure tracking works while still having plenty of oopsies that could cause people to switch.
> Cellular operated iot networks are power hungry and $ expensive.

Power hungry? Not anymore – I believe NB-IoT is already within an order of magnitude of unlicensed IoT (i.e. LoRa, 802.15.4 etc).

Expensive? That's relative, but what makes you think that Amazon is giving away Sidewalk for any less? AWS is not exactly known for their low prices.
When Boeing can't match the salaries of Seattle tech companies, this is what happens.
agreed, a "learn dotnet via f#" approach for people with experience in other ML languages would be excellent.

`<vector-graph>` itself is a properly defined WebComponent, everything else inside is just parsed as a string of pseudo-html and rendered within the parent web component (as an SVG).

Edit: note that the examples in the website, since they are part of the README in Github, are plain SVG images that have been rendered on the backend statically also by VectorGraph, see the Node.js environment if interested:

They can only do that because you visit their site. Why are you helping boost the numbers for a site you dislike that much?
Yes, I know. Same for OCaml with PPXs. That was just to show that even Haskell has many, even though most operators aren't keywords but "normal" infix functions (of type classes).
Trust Wallet does exactly thaf. TBH I have no idea what the plaintiffs are actually contending.
@sama on X:
satya and my top priority remains to ensure openai continues to thrive
we are committed to fully providing continuity of operations to our partners and customers
the openai/microsoft partnership makes this very doable

This does not sounds like Sam is trying to come back to lead OpenIA. It sounds like he is trying to preserve the non-profit part of OpenAI and its mission. And he is working to line up Microsoft to continue to support the non-profit part. This would make much more sense.
If you get to around lecture 9, a classic example I always tell people to start with is a calculator!

For instance, here's the SML code for it:

```
datatype exp =

Num of int

| Plus of exp * exp

| Minus of exp * exp

| Times of exp * exp

| Div of exp * exp

```

Implement the function `eval : exp -> int`, which evaluates the expression as best as it can. Assume no division by zero.

Extra credit: Can you implement `eval' : exp -> int option`, that returns `SOME n` if the expression evaluates, and `NONE` if it divides by zero?
Probably more like GitHub or LinkedIn, both of which Satya referenced in his Tweet about having experience with this kind of structure.
I would be interested too if that's an actual theory. My experience has largely been that if you're willing to admit you were wrong about something, most reasonable people will appreciate it over you doubling down.

If they pile on after you have conceded, typically they come off much worse socially in my opinion.
I don’t get it - aren’t Jews considered white?
Ooh, the old 'unprofessional' epithet! What do you mean by that slur here? Most can't agree on what professional even means. Additionally, why should one be held to artificial, inconsistent, and poorly defined standards of 'professionalism' when they aren't a professional?

It’s not a company - which is why they’re able to do this. We’ve just learned, again, that nonprofits can’t make these kinds of decisions because the checks and balances that investors and a profit motive create don’t exist.

There are a lot of people who draw and paint. Of course there will be people who reject AI. There are people who restrictly only use traditional media too. That's why I said Krita will (and should?) fork into 2 apps, one for people who reject AI.

But the line between "random generator" and "artistic finer control" isn't that sharp and clear. How do digital artists draw leaves and bushes in background? If not photobashing, most experienced people will use some kind of brushes[0] with some radnomness built into them, like random rotation or spray.

Randomness is even more prevelant in traditional media.

And I'm 100% sure AI will evolve to cover as much as both ends.

[0]: Not necessarily a leaf brush. A common misconception held by digital painting newbies are you need X brush to paint X efficiently. Experienced aritsts don't want X -- they want some controllable randomness.
What happened to Elm by the way?
It seems that the fundamental problem with the functional paradigm (in its pure form) is that the real world - including the architecture of the computer that is used to run the programs on - is full of side effects, i.e. is essentially "imperative," and with this impedance between them the idea creates more problems than it solves.

I'm not a GPU driver or graphics programmer, so I'll do my best. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in if I mess something up.

* Last May, Nvidia open-sourced their proprietary kernel module, after moving their proprietary bits into a firmware blob that runs on the GPU itself. As is, this module is not suitable for being mainlined into the Linux kernel, but acts as a starting point for a proper FOSS module.

* Nouveau developers have been able to use code and knowledge from the open-sourced Nvidia module to improve their mainlined kernel module (more low level hardware access, the ability to load said firmware blob, and the ability to control clock speeds/power states).

* The improved, actually useful Nouveau has allowed for the development of a performant user-space Vulkan driver for Nvidia called NVK, which was mainlined into Mesa a few months ago.

* Today's news is that NVK is now Vulkan 1.0 conformant, which means properly written apps that use the Vulkan 1.0 featureset should work and be performant using Nouveau and NVK/Mesa
