Thanks, it makes sense now!

I think I've read a post by Niko Matskakis (Rust lead) who suggested doing something similar. That would be exciting to see!
The act of mixing or laundering isn't per se illegal. The issue is government couldn't track illegal activities generated funds used in that mixing. It is the same with encryption, it isnt wrong when you encrypt but government will hunt you down if you export that tech to others. They will also hunt you down if you dont modify you encryption tech to their liking quietly. Even court sided with government in every countries. If you mixing the money in jar with a bunch of crook, and refuse to cooperate with government, they will hunt you down. So the issue isnt really they can't do the mixing. They didnt want to cooperate with government. Hence what we see now is just normal government hunting. Macfee and Bobby Fischer had gone thru this and paid dearly for not cooperating with government - legal or not.
OpenAI is a charity, and doing exactly that is their charter.
Dagger seems to attempt to reinvent Tekton which is based on https://cloud.google.com/build which is a good way to do cicd, so credit to the Dagger guys for knowing what DevOps (at least if they are real DevOps) folks know.
> deciding factor was the staff mutiny

The staff never mutinied. They threatened to mutiny. That's a big difference!

Yesterday, I compared these rebels to Shockley's "traitorous eight" [1]. But the traitorous eight actually rebelled. These folk put their name on a piece of paper, options and profit participation units safely held in the other hand.

Totally not true: take nuclear weapons, for example, or a large meteorite impact.
QIA also known as Qatar Investment Authority in its expanded form, has invested a significant fund of $250 million in a Series D funding round in the British-Indian serial entrepreneur Sachin Dev Duggal’s Builder.ai.

Sachin Dev Duggal is the founder and CEO of Builder.ai, also known as Chief Wizard of Builder.ai, a human-assisted AI platform that makes building and running software as easy as ordering pizza. In 2012, he started Builder.ai to enable anyone to build or construct any concept, without the requirement for coding knowledge and without wasting time, money, and resources.
I'm pretty sure it was just 3 sizes in III. Maybe once they realized they left it in, they decided to keep it a an Easter egg and fully committed to it.
I haven't been to Serbia in like 15 years but it is my experience that this particular behaviour is reserved strictly for the biggest, most obnoxious degenerates our Balkan societies have to offer. Balkan rednecks, if you will.

It's beyond me why this sort of person has to be celebrated even more.
I've lost track of everything.
Yes, I agree. There will always be some evil person out there using AI to try to achieve evil goals. Scammers, terrorists, hackers. All the people who use computers now to do bad things, they're going to try to do even worse bad things with AI. We need to stop those people by improving our security.

Like fixing the phone number system already. There must be some way to stop robo scam calls. Validate everyone making a call and stop phone spam. That would do a lot more to help AI safety than randomly slowing down the top companies.
Because the average citizen is not considered worth protecting in the United States. If you aren't of a protected class, you don't matter.
Now do nuclear.
This is the scientific consensus btw.

There are also more intellectually challenged men btw, but somehow that rarely gets discussed.

But the effects are quite small, and should not dissuade anyone to do anything IMO.
There is a scientific fraud epidemic – and we are ignoring the cure
If the Sama faction got Ilya and Adam (maybe with promise of heading the new board), Helen and Tasha have nothing to stand on and no incentive to keep fighting.

>It is just a joke that Facebook could be valued at $6 billion.

lol, seems HN is same since forever.
There's no moat in giant LLMs. Anyone on a long enough timeline can scrape/digitize 99.9X% of all human knowledge and build an LLM or LXX from it. Monetizing that idea and staying the market leader over a period longer than 10 years will take a herculean amount of effort. Facebook releasing similar models for free definitely took the wind out of their sails, even a tiny bit; right now the moat is access to A100 boards. That will change as eventually even the Raspberry Pi 9 will have LLM capabilities
"How can people not agree with my superior views of the world?"
I have muted any mention of Open AI, Altman, Emmet and Satya from my Twitter feed for the past five days. It's a far better experience.
But... I don't remember it like that in SA on the PC at least. Weird. And I'm very sure III even had an option in the graphics settings to enable widescreen support, which was pretty odd. Why not just assume square pixels and figure it out from there...
Meanwhile, those working on commercialization are by definition going to be gatekeepers and beneficiaries of it, not you. The organizations that pay for it will pay for it to produce results that are of benefit to them, probably at my expense [1].

Do I think Helen has my interests at heart? Unlikely. Do Sam or Satya? Absolutely not!

[1] I can't wait for AI doctors working for insurers to deny me treatments, AI vendors to figure out exactly how much they can charge me for their dynamically-priced product, AI answering machines to route my customer support calls through Dante's circles of hell...
If you commingle customer funds, by definition you’re spending some of them when you use that account to pay business expenses, it’s impossible to differentiate them and makes several other types of fraud more likely.
There is a middle ground, in that maybe ChatGTP shouldn't help users commit certain serious crimes. I am pretty pro free speech, and I think there's definitely a slippery slope here, but there is a bit of justification.
I don't know the name for it, but I think there is a logic error in their math.

The average distance you do drive on days you drive, is what matters.
It’s not the same. This line of whataboutism doesn’t work. None of those mediums were interactive or had their social networks on them. Almost everyone (kids) I knew watched a few hours of TV a day tops. There just wasn’t enough content with scheduled programming/without content on demand. Radio was even more limited. Honestly I really wish the government banned kids from using computers for more than a few hours a day (like some authoritarian country like China) and completely banned smart phones for everyone under 18.
> it seems clear there was a rift between Rapid Commercialization (Team Sam) and Upholding the Original Principles (Team Helen/Ilya)

Is it? Why was the press release worded like that? And why did Ilya came up with two mysterious reasons of why board fired Sam if he had quite clearly better and more defendable reason if this goes to court. Also Adam is pro commercialization at least looking at public interviews, no?

It's very easy to make the story in brain which involves one character being greedy, but it doesn't seem it is the exact case here.
Not only that, consider the situation now, where Sam has returned as CEO. The ones who didn't sign will have some explaining to do.

The safest option was to sign the paper, once the snowball started rolling. There was nothing much to lose, and a lot to gain.
It means something, and tether will collapse.
> Twitter is still the best place to follow this and get updates

This has been my single strongest takeaway from this saga: Twitter remains the centre of controversy. When shit hit the fan, Sam and Satya and Swisher took to Twitter. Not Threads. Not Bluesy. Twitter. (X.)
You imagine a computer has "will"?
That's the end game.
This is a triumph of labor against management in sheep's garb. Workers united were able to force an outcome they desired to preserve an organization they loved while sweeping aside a board that would prefer to destroy it.
Why can't there be aliases for those names? I'd certainly use them. Is there a reason nowrap and no-wrap can't both work?
First, Summers’ sexist claims were much broader than that.

Second, yes, you are being sexist, and irrational. What you’re doing is exactly the same as the reasons that it’s racist and irrational to say “whites are better at x”.

You’re cherry picking data to examine, to reach a conclusion that you want to reach. You’re ignoring relevant causal factors - or any causal factors at all, in fact, aside from the spurious correlation you’ve assumed in your conclusion.

You’re ignoring decades of research on the subject - although in your defense, you’re probably just not aware of it.

Most irrationally of all, you’re generalizing across an entire group, selected by a factor that’s only indirectly relevant to the property you’re incorrectly generalizing about.

As such, “sexist” is just a symptom of fundamentally confused and under-informed thinking.

And yet of all things word processing and spreadsheets are going to the cloud, or even coding.

Not sure big players won't be pushing heavily (as in, not releasing their best models) for the fat subscriptions/data gathering in the cloud, even if I'd much rather see local (as in cloud at home) computing

Great little app! I typed in “Australian History” and was impressed with the resulting timeline.

Some feedback, the UI shifts as new items are added, which is a little annoying.

Maybe a vertical layout on mobile would be more appropriate, instead of side-scrolling…

Great job though, fantastic use of AI to provide value
What’s jj?
Agree that it's a facade.

Iirc, the NP structure was implemented to attract top AI talent from FAANG. Then they needed investors to fund the infrastructure and hence gave the employees shares or profit units (whatever the hell that is). The NP now shields MSFT from regulatory issues.

I do wonder how many of those employees would actually go to MSFT. It feels more like a gambit to get Altman back in since they were about to cash out with the tender offer.
Health services and cops also gave less of a shit about things like that. This was great for the wider society but the small minority of kids that had it bad suffered.

The older I get, the more I value ignorance about certain things like what’s happening in the wider world (beyond maybe 15 mins of headlines a day). The overload of minutia about people’s lives and irrational fears is such a waste of time and bad for health.
As long as we're entertained, who cares?
I've seen Sam's tweet that strongly suggests that he's in fact in or very close to camp 4), which you call Brockist.

People often underestimate Sam as yet another capitalist. I believe his thinking is on quite another level and he does care for humanity. He doesn't seem to care about making much more money personally. He said on another occasion that he made money faster than he can spend it anyway.
Ok, serious question. If you think the threat is real, how are we not already screwed?

OpenAI is one of half a dozen teams [0] actively working on this problem, all funded by large public companies with lots of money and lots of talent. They made unique contributions, sure. But they're not that far ahead. If they stumble, surely one of the others will take the lead. Or maybe they will anyway, because who's to say where the next major innovation will come from?

So what I don't get about these reactions (allegedly from the board, and expressed here) is, if you interpret the threat as a real one, why are you acting like OpenAI has some infallible lead? This is not an excuse to govern OpenAI poorly, but let's be honest: if the company slows down the most likely outcome by far is that they'll cede the lead to someone else.

[0]: To be clear, there are definitely more. Those are just the large and public teams with existing products within some reasonable margin of OpenAI's quality.

This is interesting because my first reaction was to recoil in horror at the idea of CSS without the cascade, but my second reaction was to realie you're actually describing approximately how Tailwind works eg small classes that you can use to apply an aspect of styling to a specific element, and use to build up to a design. Utility classes would be the obvious choice if you couldn't rely on the cascade any more.

Tailwind styles still cascade but in a far more manageable and override-able way. Perhaps you're on to something.
Money, large amounts, will always win at scale (unfortunately).
Let’s be real here. At the end of the day, what matters more is commercial success and a big payout.

AGI is still very far away and the fear mongering is nothing but PR stunt.

But the devs need their big payout now. Which explains the mutiny.

The “safety” board of directors drank their own koolaid a bit too much.
I've tried collagen powder before, because it's very easy to take since it easily dissolves in drinks (and I think actually improves them), and I think it made my hair and nails grow faster but didn't do much else.
He bought Twitter for power, omnipresence and reputation. Allowing him to play the game his way.
How is it a coup when it's the boards job to hire and fire the CEO?
I’ll just pick a topic and then ask for a summary and then ask clarifying questions.

Probably don't want to start quoting hallucinated facts!
Whoever is on the board won't be able to touch Sam with 10 feet pole anyways after this. I like Sam but now he this drama gives him total power and that is bad.
Tailwind-style selectorless approach is essentially a shorter form of inline style attributes. Surely there are better solutions?
Metamizole[0] is the one I take, it's _really_ sketchy and actually banned in some. Looks like it's banned for human use in the US :D

But hey, it works and I usually need like 0,5-1 tablets a year so I'm not personally worried about any adverse effects.

As for foods, during the worst reflux times I ate pretty much just unseasoned chicken and rice and drank only water just to let my stomach and esophagus time to heal a bit from the constant acidic assault.

Then it was a matter of slowly adding stuff I ate regularly one at a time and see which cause issues. Weirdly I could eat spicy Indian food and it actually helped my symptoms :D

Because of the elimination diet I dropped red meat from my diet. So no beef or pork, those seem to be the worst ones as far as digestion goes. I have a theory that my stomach acids aren't strong enough to digest red meat and it just sits there slowly dissolving instead of moving on like it should -> acid reflux and bloated stomach -> boom, vagus nerve angry.

Currently I'm feeling a lot better than 10-15 years ago and I can have the odd hot dog, some bacon and pepperoni on my pizza, but I stay away from steaks, briskets and all that - and if I _have_ to eat red meat in quantities, I don't eat much for the rest of the day, just to give it time to digest.

The usual reflux suspects are wheat, sugar, coffee and milk. Those went out too in the beginning, but nowadays I can have them in moderation and the result is just bloating unless I overdo it.

Wait what??? Since when is flexbox obsolete I use it all the time, I think I used it today. What had replaced it? Don’t say grid, that’s better for 2d layouts.
Funny, I thought he bought Twitter because he shot his mouth off in public and the courts made him follow through.
That doesn't actually fix it. CEOs already want to sell more stuff.

When you have a large vertically integrated bureaucracy, the integration ossifies. Your cars are heavy so they need big engines and use a lot of fuel. Your big engines wouldn't fit in a smaller car. A smaller engine wouldn't be powerful enough to accelerate your heavy cars. So if gas prices suddenly go up, you have to throw everything out and start over from scratch.

Which you can't do overnight, even if someone is threatening to put you in jail. So now Toyota is bigger than Ford, GM and Chrysler put together.

That's a misreading of the situation. The employees saw their big bag vanishing and suddenly realised they were employed by a non-profit entity that had loftier goals than making a buck, so they rallied to overturn it and they've gotten their way. This is a net negative for anyone not financially invested in OAI.
Which sector of our economy is subject to less regulation today than in the period between 1930-1970?
> I would prefer SVN over git

Yes SVN has so much better CLI especially for things like

* merging

* history navigation

* searching commit messages, filenames and file content

* bisecting

I'm filled with joy remembering good old SVN days and how my life was a way easier.
This is very nice to hear. I deeply hope & pray your view is accurate, and I suppose I will be cautiously optimistic.
It is a little amusing that we've crowned OpenAI as the destined mother of AGI long before the little sentient chickens have hatched.
> "products and services that use or claim to be produced using artificial intelligence (AI)..."

Imagine a government agency that has oversight over "products and services that use or claim to be produced using electricity..." This may become the largest power grab in US history.
Actually, Summer's claims were much narrower - he said that boys tend to deviate from the mean more. That is, it's not that men are superior, it's that there are more boy geniuses and more boy idiots.

Decades of research shows that teachers give girls better grades than boys of the same ability. This is not some new revelation.

A whole cohort of boys got screwed over by the cancellation of exams during Covid. That is just reality, and no amount of creepy male feminist posturing is going to change that. Rather, denying issues in boys education is liable to increase male resentment and bitterness, something we've already witnessed over the past few years.

Sam Altman to Return as CEO of OpenAI
Not an expert in China, but AFAIK the Chinese are big on eating food right after it has been cooked for this exact reason.

Salads aren't a thing because they're likely to have bacteria in them and they've been sitting out for god knows how long.

Same goes for proteins, if it's still sizzling hot when it's delivered, it was most likely just cooked and thus safe.
MSFT invested over $10B. And currently has no seat on the board.
I don't care about AI Safety, but:

https://openai.com/charter

above that in the charter is "Broadly distributed benefits", with details like:

"""

Broadly distributed benefits

We commit to use any influence we obtain over AGI’s deployment to ensure it is used for the benefit of all, and to avoid enabling uses of AI or AGI that harm humanity or unduly concentrate power.

Our primary fiduciary duty is to humanity. We anticipate needing to marshal substantial resources to fulfill our mission, but will always diligently act to minimize conflicts of interest among our employees and stakeholders that could compromise broad benefit.

"""

In that sense, I definitely hate to see rapid commercialization and Microsoft's hands in it. I feel like the only person on HN that actually wanted to see Team Sam lose, although it's pretty clear Team Helen/Ilya didn't have a chance, the org just looks hijacked by SV tech bros to me, but I feel like HN has a blindspot to seeing that at all and considering it anything other than a good thing if they do see it.

Although GPT barely looks like the language module of AGI to me and I don't see any way there from here (part of the reason I don't see any safety concern). The big breakthrough here relative to earlier AI research is massive amounts more compute power and a giant pile of data, but it's not doing some kind of truly novel information synthesis at all. It can describe quantum mechanics from a giant pile of data, but I don't think it has a chance of discovering quantum mechanics, and I don't think that's just because it can't see, hear, etc., but a limitation of the kind of information manipulation it's doing. It looks impressive because it's reflecting our own intelligence back at us.
Exactly, AGI is overrated because the world isn’t run by its smartest people, ChatGPT would make a better US or Russian president at this point compared with treasonous or genocidal geriatrics

China is already doing it. Replaceable batteries are seen as the way to go over there and multiple companies are already offering it. Drive your car in and a robot will drop the old battery out and lift a new one in. No more hassle than a carwash.
That's the worst take I've read.
You could snap to a percentage width.
Unsurprisingly VCs view VCs as the highest form of life, and product managers are temporary positions taken on the way to ascending to VC status.

I have said recently elsewhere SV now devalues builders but it is not just VCs/sales/product, a huge amount is devops and sre departments. They make a huge amount of noise about how all development should be free and the value is in deploying and operating the developed artifacts. Anyone outside this watching would reasonably conclude developers have no self respect, hardly aspirational positions.
That's part of the irony.

That's the definition being used in AI research. Does this system succeed on this test of {reasoning, theory of mind, abstract thinking, ... etc}? Can this system outperform most human workers?

And yes, corporations and other collectives can fully satisfy both criteria for most economically valuable tasks. If you make the same degree of input/output adaptations for them that you do for LLM's, they'll write you articulate letters all day, perform inhuman computations and reasoning tasks, develop and execute grand strategy, control all your robots, ace all your tests, and then write all your code for a tenth of what it would cost with your Bay Area tech bro.

From OpenAI's charter:

> OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI)—by which we mean highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work—benefits all of humanity.
> Hg was notably slower for daily use

There was an interview with Linus Torvalds at some point where he points out that Mercurial was one of the tools he tried using to replace Bitkeeper, but found it to be much to slow. Has he tells it in the interview he later learned that the slowness he experienced was due to a bug in Mercurial and had that not been there, git might never have happened.

If that's true it a little sad, but I also wonder if many of us might still be on SVN, Perforce or whatever. Git, by being a product of Linus brought a lot of focus on Git. Bitkeeper never got the same attention, that was a commercial product, but being used for kernel development didn't see to promote it as much as I'd expect.
