MS gains special access and influence over OpenAI for effectively 'free'. Obviously the compute cost MS money, and some of their 'donation' is used on OpenAI salaries, but still. This special access and influence lets MS be first to market on all sorts of products - see co-pilot already with a 1M+ paying subscribers.

For example, let's say I'm a big for-profit selling shovels. You're a naive non-profit who needs shovels to build some next gen technology. Turns out you need a lot of shovels and donations so far haven't cut it. I step in and offer to give you all the shovels you need, but I want special access to what you create. And even if it's not codified, you will naturally feel indebted to me. I gain huge upside for just my marginal cost of creating the shovels. And, if I gave the shovels to a non-profit I can also take tax write-offs at the shovel market value.

TBH, it was an amazing move by MS. And MS was the only big cloud provider who could have done it b/c Sataya appears collaborative and willing to partner. Amazon would have been an obvious choice, but they don't partnership like that and instead tend to buy companies or repurpose OSS. And Google can't get out of their own way with their hubris.
I don’t like the “you’re remembering it wrong” defence

Google doesn’t publish a search quality report, or publicly index their results for the same queries over time, so you can’t objectively compare whether the quality has changed or not. Plus, the Google search signals and the product itself are constantly changing day to day and there’s no way to see those changes.

So if Google went through a spell of bad results, or their algorithm entered a degenerate state, or SEO figured out how to break through their algorithmic walls, or even their algorithm deemed you interested in something you aren’t, then “you’re remembering it wrong” because it’s fixed today, but at the time it really was worse.

I do agree though, people remember bad experiences far more than positive ones, there’s a definite bias in the human psyche there. But also, anecdotally, I’ve never been so annoyed with Google results as I have lately. I know I’m not alone, my low-tech wife even complains that Google has become useless for so many things. True or not, it’s a bad omen for Google because it’s very hard to rebuild a reputation.

One of the most annoying things about Google the last few years has been searching reviews, and they’ve just added a widget to combine product reviews which is nice to see, so they do seem like they’re working on these issues.
Tesla 'fully open source' original Roadster design, releases R&D docs
Let's say you pay $10 and I pay $10, you listen to 200 songs by Simply Red, while I listen to 50 songs by A-ha.

Spotify takes $14 (70%) of our money and divides it by 250, this means that Simply Red gets 80% of $20 or $11,20 and A-ha gets $2,80.

The unfair part is that my money got to pay for an artist I never listened to. Why not my share moved to A-ha?

> Sure, I could have gone and re-skilled and learned another similar graphics API, but the second problem is nobody really needs people who write low-level Direct3D or Vulkan or Metal anymore because that's all abstracted for you by engines. And there are max 5 or 6 companies in the world that even have the need for people who can do low-level graphics drivers. It's a career-limiting niche.

I did that for a living and can only agree partially.

First, the part were we agree: only a handful of companies hire graphics driver developers. This means that if this is your career you need to be willing to either put up with the idiosyncrasies of your employer or be willing to move geographically. As a result, people tend to stick to the same employer for many years.

As for OpenGL becoming obsolete, it's like anything else in tech: you need to keep up with whatever is in demand. Vulkan/Metal/DX12 didn't appear out of thin air, they were created by the exact same folks who worked on older APIs for many years, so it really wasn't a huge paradigm shift for driver developers.

GPU driver development is a perfectly valid career choice with good job stability and very decent pay.

What I disliked about it is that, perhaps contrary to what you are saying, I felt that it was rather repetitive and after having worked on a few different GPU generations. Innovation happens in other areas like GPU architecture, not in driver development, but that's a topic for another day.
You think writing javascript fragments in a browser that is already installed is exactly the same as learning to compile rust then compiling a third party webgpu project in it?

That's not even graphics programming and everyone already has something that works, how are they at all the same thing?

That’s not really what that xkcd is about but that was kind of my point: it’s a long-running joke but it’s not really true – in reality Git makes it really hard to lose data, and most of the time when people say they lost data what they really meant was that they had a sloppy merge and needed help using reflog to retry it.

I’ve worked in modest sized teams within a larger organization (roughly a hundred developers) and have often been the person people ask for help when something goes wrong; most of our teams went from CVS / Source Safe to Subversion, and then Mercurial to Git, and the big step was really the switch to a distributed system - moving from Hg was largely a non-issue (things got faster, we liked GitLab more for other reasons). The only time Hg lost data was back in the era when rebase was an extension, so it wasn’t the core system’s fault but it was a source of friction.

Yes, you can find all prime numbers and digits of pi if you sit down and do the calculations on a piece of paper but you don’t do that because computers are faster than that.

For more complex tasks like locating and recognizing humans and their faces, humans can still perfectly do it but I still would rather be taking more pictures of my loved ones than rummaging through my photos every single time I’m looking for something.

As for the accuracy of those systems, it mostly depends on the model being deployed.

With virtually unlimited computational budget (cloud), it’s easy to deploy a very powerful model but you sacrifice privacy and performance in high latency environments.

With a limited computational budget (local neural processing unit) you deploy what you can cram into the chip. It’s less accurate but consistent and private.

The continuation of fossil fuel emissions and the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere don't have to be tied together. Of course the package of these two combined is a scam.

That doesn't mean that we shouldn't scale up direct air capture to billions of tons of CO2 per year. The reduction in climate change effects would be absolutely worth it. It might also be more economical than decarbonizing absolutely everything (ie chemical processes).
So mentally draining. I had to do a multi-hour "pair programming" session last week. I'm literally telling the guy what lines to copy-and-paste.

> and gives 'em to the artist you've listened to the most

This seems like a way to sound popular without actually solving the problem. IT sounds like it would help "yay my favourite artist gets lots of money!" but when you model it out I'd expect quite similar outcomes – most of your money is still distributed in the way Spotify do, and often your top artist might still be one of the popular ones, and small artists aren't going to be the top of many people's listening.
This is great fun! Thanks for creating and sharing this!
That's cool. We all decide for ourselves what markets we're willing and unwilling to address. But the market that involves "primitive" unix is lucrative and that can be worth it.

For me as a developer, it's not a big deal. You can do all the same things, just in a slightly different way, and you have a script that can run almost everywhere.

I can't find any mention of the compilers, compiler settings or whether any prebuilt binaries were used. That makes it even harder to distinguish between compiler and runtime performance impacts.

Microsoft played the 5D chess so well they made it look seamless, like Kasparov playing 40 opponents simultaneously.

5 occurrences of "Microsoft" in the article body vs 9 "OpenAI".

To make my point clear; this weirdness was definitely caused by the OpenAI board deviating from everybody's plans, including a member of the board themselves.

From there, Microsoft strategically reacted to a black swan event. From MS's pov, this was a zero-day attack that would manifest itself in 2-5 years, Google vs FTC style, and the mitigation strategy was providing the appearance of welcome arms++ to the tyranny of a board that makes kneejerk decisions, and having those open arms be rejected by the (natural) out-pour of sentiment.

The end result is identical, and Microsoft turned a zero-day attack into an irrefutable defense for any future FTC lawsuit.

Didn't Anthony Levandowski already try that?

Thing is, it doesn't work. The primary purpose of religion is to tackle questions that are metaphysical in nature; to provide an explanation for the deep mysteries of life. To most believers, God isn't a comic book character that's worshipped solely because he is powerful -- He is worshipped as the first mover, the alpha and omega, beyond all constraint -- and the mere fact of His existence explains their own. (He created them in His image, etc.) An AI, however advanced, would be an infinitely lesser being; nothing more than a powerful agent, constrained and embedded alongside us in space and time.
What is the argument here?
He said he planned to a few months ago, but was busy/waiting to add some more features/fixes to the code first.
Of course it is.

FTX collapses (November 2-11, 2022), crypto hustle-scam is over, the decision is made to release whatever there is at the moment at OpenAI to start the next cycle, a few weeks later (November 30, 2022) there we go. Same thing as always: some investors -- mostly white males -- get filthy rich meanwhile some others get exploited -- this time it's Kenyan workers -- and many, many people get hoodwinked and then lose their shirt. Same story, different hype.

https://youtu.be/I6IQ_FOCE6I did everyone forget? I guess. At we got something out of web2.0 ... but we also got a genocide and a few warped elections / referendums out of it so the jury is still out how history will see it. Crypto was a net negative for humankind in every possible way (except a few people walked away with tons of money of course but at what cost) and now we are facing down this terrible wave of AI. Yay?
The article didn't cite IEA making an argument or even presenting any facts; rather, it reported an assertion that carbon capture isn't enough.

All we can go on is the credibility of IEA, which GP has argued – with citation – is wanting.

The number one argument against this kind of doomerism is that we don't know what we don't know. Natural CO2 capture is why we have an oxygen atmosphere in the first place. That process wouldn't necessarily work today due to funguses and so on, but perhaps some technological breakthrough (genetically engineered trees? dense organic materials? who knows?) could work as soon as it is discovered.
I don't see how the color scheme change helps with accessibility and readability. Okay, maybe the contrast with road names was bad before, but the major point was that important roads (like avenues) were highlighted in YELLOW.

Now every road is the same color and you can't distinguish between important and secondary roads.

This is why I prefer the OpenStreetMap scheme even though it has its share of controversies. At least they have rules to color important roads so they stand out more on the map.
"Neither Japan nor Germany are in any sense of the word American vassal states."

Both states harbor huge US military bases. Bases that were established after literal military occupation and not by choice.

You're right that it also favours artists that are listened to by people that stream a lot of music, but it does favour big artists too. Big artists can make up their numbers by lots of streams from few users, few streams from lots of users, or both.

Small artists tend to get a lot of streams from very few users, and lose out, so this suggests that earnings are more correlated to unique listeners than to average listens per user.

No, I clicked the adjust for inflation button. You do have a point re: population growth -- the per-capita spend on music is smaller than it was.

But regarding artists, you're sort of making my point: there are certainly more artists around that address essentially the whole world, as opposed to just themselves or their local area. Playing an instrument hasn't gotten easier (even that is arguable), but mastering music (at a mediocre level, maybe) has gotten easier, and distributing music has gotten way easier (presumably eventually that should affect the revenue split between labels and artists). And yes, all those artists of today are in competition with the artists of the past.

So there's certainly less money for each individual artist today, and there is more music available to me today, and I still don't have more time available to listen to much more of it.

But you do have a point regarding population growth.

That article also concludes that they have significantly improved with the most recent forecasts though.

Edit: Here in the UK, we have been having the public enquiry into the UK's handling of the Covid pandemic. One thing that has come up frequently is that the scientists think about things from a scientific PoV, politicians from politics, economists from economics, etc, etc, but that what was lacking was a more coherent decision making body that was sufficiently skilled to look at all these as a whole. A bit like "clinical medicine" != "public health".

It may well be that the IEA look at the subject from an energy resources PoV, but miss the political pressures that governments feel from climate-supporting electorates. And why shouldn't they, it's not their speciality. As pointed out in the article, their reports are one (albeit important) input into the larger solar energy policy decision making process.
