Speaking as someone who was a teenager in the suburbs in the 90s, it totally predated screens. Walking 40 min on a road with no sidewalks got you to a 7-11. We used to go play in the woods until they knocked them down to build a "golfing community" (ie golf course interspersed with McMansions)
Agreed, I provided more for context that it can be done, within the context you mentioned.

You're missing the point of the analogy.

They are not defending money laundering, they are defending coin mixing of legitimately obtained money, because many people want to outlaw coin mixing outright.
Thanks, sorry I wasn't more specific, I'm learning it and was just interested in your thoughts.

Not teaching you that you get a reward either way, but it does acknowledge the existence of a reward and it also suggests no penalty. Therefore, if someone was happy to spend money for the social rewards then doing so isn’t discouraged.
"can't" in that context is itself a metaphor for "you should not because of the obvious consequences".

Aren't those the same scenario?
I've had the best experience so far with chatGPT Plus using the Data analysis plugin, well I WAS having the best experience until it went down today. Still waiting to get back to it
> The open question then is: does she really believe that no other entity has the resources to match OpenAI and does she believe that if such an entity does exist that it too will self destruct rather than to go through with the development?

People at "top" companies fall into this fallacy very readily. FAANG (especially Google and Facebook engineers) think this way on all sorts of things.

The reality is that for any software project, your competition is rarely more than 1 year behind you if what you're doing is obviously useful. OpenAI made ChatGPT, and that revealed that this sort of thing was obviously useful, kicking off the arms race. Now they are bleeding money running a model that nobody could run profitably in order to keep their market position.

I have tried to explain this to xooglers several times, and it often goes in one ear and out the other until they get complacent and the competition swipes them about a year later.

Yep, both gokrazy and u-root serve as inspirations/references (there's a lot of tricky stuff like configuring the network or the framebuffer). Using a kernel from Debian while figuring out my options - glad there seem to be so many.

The ultimate goal is to make it very straightforward to change any part of the system source and try it out in action, so the only things you need installed to get started are Go and Qemu. Further down the road I'd love to extend these principles to hacking the kernel - I'd probably like a simpler kernel, maybe OpenBSD or NetBSD, but I'm less familiar with those.
But that's the problem, the board's mission was doomed from the get-go. Their mission isn't to be "in the interest of the company" but "in the interest of humanity" i.e. if they believe OpenAI at its pace would destroy humanity, then their mission is literally to destroy OpenAI itself.
Yeah they remind me of my dad’s electric train set. The power lines bring in the electricity needed for the train to work and that makes me happy.
Maybe something like quantum mechanics are an "optimization" of the sim, i.e the sim doesn't actually compute the locations, spin etc of subatomic particles but instead just uses probabilities to simulate it. Only when a consciousness decides to look more closely does it retroactively decide what those properties really were.

Kind of like how video games won't render the full resolution textures when the character is far away or zoomed out.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to have thought this.
There's a whole section at the bottom of the published piece where Metz explains his motivations.

But yeah- we've deviated too far from the main topic, so let's just agree to agree.
I had absolutely no idea. I always saw him referred to as a final fantasy boss. I guess in mario rpg he's from that universe, but he's not actually from the universe. Crazy.
>Doesn’t this sound like Toner herself is playing god? That is, only she is the gatekeeper of humanity and only she knows what is good for the entire humanity, when many of us believe that OpenAI’s tech is perfectly safe and amazingly beneficial?

Yeah, well, hate to burst your nice warm Silicon-Valley bubble, but most Americans believe that continuing to create smarter and smarter AIs is dangerous, so who's playing god now?

(No one I know thinks it is dangerous to fine-tune GPT-4 or to integrate GPT-4 deeply into the economy: the danger is the plans for the creation of much bigger models and algorithmic improvements.)
The illegal thing is breaking the traversible chain of provenance of funds. All money transmitters by law MUST keep those records as a condition of being licensed to engage in the business of money transferance on the behalf of a third party.

If you came into possession of a money transmission framework, and you ran accounts for someone else without doing KYC, or integrating with OFAC, and were found to have transacted in a way that facilitated illegal activity or sanctions violation, you are now strictly liable for those violations.

If you wish to participate in the act of moving money, you must make law enforcement's job tractable. It is a pre-requisite of the business vertical in the United States.

In brass tacks plain, layman english:

The United States Financial System is a grafted on appendage of Law Enforcement. Every legal department in a financial services company is responsible for setting up a dedicated division responsible for facilitating an integration with Law Enforcement.

Is that clear?

I'm not making any judgements as to whether it should be that way, mind, just telling it how it is.

Mixers were never practically legal in any way shape or form. They just weren't explicitly stated by the name "Mixer" as being illegal by statute or Administrative dicta.

Not a lawyer, just been part of implementing and auditing my fair share of systems.
> if you build a big cash blender with the explicit purpose of masking the origin of money, then you are very clearly and willfully facilitating money laundering.

Or you want to increase your privacy, maybe you don't want your employer to know where you spend your salary, or how much you are able to save.
Let’s assume this happened. Then everyone would make everything in their power to get their old CEO back which made this possible.
Oh wait.
>>any "artistic" deviation from structural optimality will necessarily use more material to achieve the same sturdiness, and hence cost more

A slavish adherence to this maxim condemns our age to a plague of depressing ugliness in our commercial and governmental structures

There are phrases for this, starting with "Penny Wise and Pound Foolish".

I have little doubt that the persistent lack of inspiration, or even whimsy, in architecture helps undermine our society's coherence. If no one builds anything of which we can collectively take pride and experience joy, where is the inspiration for cohesion?

There are myriad examples of wonderful government or commercial architecture from centuries ago. Centuries from now, will anybody GAF about any of today's structures?

We can do better, and it is more than worth it to do so.
No, I am not saying that. I am saying that Altman has a point (he's trying to deal with the FCC and it doens't help if at the same time a board member releases a paper critical of the company and actively comparing it to another), while at the same time she has a point which is that it is very well possible (and even probable) that OpenAI's safety could be improved on. Now, what would serve the charter better: to use that stick to get OpenAI to improve or to blow up OpenAI under the assumption that other leadership is going to be at least as ethical as they are with as a major chance of the subsequent fall-out that Microsoft will end up holding even more of the cards?

It's amateur behavior. I'm sympathetic to her goals, less impressed by the execution.

That's not obvious to me. Suppose OpenAI deliberately partners with a number of different infra providers. That creates a bunch of drag because they have to create a compatibility layer for staying agnostic to the underlying infra. And the outcome in a situation like this would probably be fairly similar: Since big tech companies are focused on making a buck, they would probably pressure the board to do whatever they think will be most profitable, just like Microsoft.

Additionally, the role of the board is to supervise the CEO, not make strategic decisions, no? If the MS partnership was a mistake, Sam is the primary person to blame here.

I'm seeing a lot of "Monday morning quarterback" in this thread
No this study is actually garbage. What it considers screen time is way too broad to be useful.

People aren't worried about screens in general, but social media in particular as well as other smartphone applications that are engineered to keep you engaged.

See Johnathan Haidt's literature review here for what an actually critical reading of the literature would lead you to reasonably conclude: https://jonathanhaidt.substack.com/p/social-media-mental-ill...
You can say what you want to say without doing it in a roundabout snarky way.

These practices wouldn’t even make the news if it came out Amazon did it.
Your body is a result of a billion year old evolutionary optimization process. GPT-4 was trained from scratch in a few months.
>Nearly everyone on OpenAI board is young, inexperienced and unqualified to be on the board of one of the most important companies on the planet.

Jumping off of that, I'm genuinely curious what, in Sam's resume, suggests he should be in charge of "one of the most important companies on the planet".
It’s important to know what the HR dept would consider her, because it has consequences for her.

No. One is a lie. The other is an attempt at fault tolerance. The later will not claim something that isn’t true, but it will try to do what you want, as a user, as a nice gesture.

Actually it's not caused by cloudflare on two counts: cloudflare actually isn't a source of the captcha, the site author copied cloudflare's captcha page; and the site blocks cloudflare dns users because it doesn't send EDNS information.
I'm not against her trying to figure out how to make her life work.

I followed the story as it unfolded somewhat closer than I typically do. I said relatively little about it because I'm a woman on an overwhelmingly male forum and my point of view seemed wholly alien and unparseable here.

I think her gender contributed to the debacle. I'm not saying that makes her innocent, but I think there were extenuating circumstances.

alexander is the guy who wrote the 30,000 word anti-reactionary faq about why moldbug was wrong, though; those screenshots explain in detail why he was unsympathetic to their neoreactionary views, rather than demonstrating that he was sympathetic to them

Does anyone know what if anything is substantively different between the original bypass paywalls[1] and bypass paywalls clean? The implication, obviously, is that the original is unclean.

This response is extremely rude.

Implying they can't read, "edgelording", that they are non sensible and stupid.

No matter what you are trying to convey, do you need to do it in such a way?
"Usable" is a massive stretch. The only way most people will ever be able to use it is through a custodial wallet, so it's right back to bank accounts and centralized exchanges.

But the whole thing is a distraction anyway. The majority of transactions happening off-chain means that Bitcoin is an utter failure at everything it ever set out to accomplish.
Turns out for a lot of people it's easy to be on board with a high minded charter until it might cost something.
That depends on the mandate. He would bind the company but it is possible that his mandate specifically forbids deals that include either IP or exclusivity.

But what is interesting is that until MS got involved OpenAI was struggling for funding and talent, and afterwards it took off like a rocket.

Silicon Valley was actually based on Mike Judge's time in a startup, obviously things just weren't that crazy in 1987.
No, it's step one. There are two more steps to take. One more is taken: the conceal step. Now the question, do the others know whether the crypto is from a contract killing. To quote the article:

> Chris and the other participants suspect the possibility that dirty money is entering the jar, but they don't do due diligence, then they could be found guilty of money laundering.

Say, Chris finds themselves in front of judge and jury for money laundering. An expert for the prosecutor might be able to convince the jury the ratio of criminals among crypto mixers users are so high they should have done due diligence. Which, of course, you can't do if the mixer works properly. This convincing will be immensely helped by the OFAC putting mixer addresses on the SDN list.

Thus, the only way to make sure you stay on the straight and narrow is to not use crypto mixers.

> I think he reacted the exact same way any CEO would

Perhaps if you think of it as another YC startup, but not so much if you view OpenAI as a non-profit first and foremost.
Sam wanted to restrict Helen's free expression on the topic of beneficial AI in order to boost OpenAI's position. That suggests he cares more about the success of OpenAI than he does upholding the charter.
> Mr. Altman complained that the research paper seemed to criticize OpenAI’s efforts to keep its A.I. technologies safe while praising the approach taken by Anthropic, according to an email that Mr. Altman wrote to colleagues and that was viewed by The New York Times.

> OpenAI's board of directors approached rival Anthropic's CEO about replacing chief Sam Altman and potentially merging the two AI startups, according to two people briefed on the matter. (https://www.reuters.com/technology/openais-board-approached-...)

It all makes sense.
As others have pointed out, you wouldn't do it that way. You would do it dynamically at runtime inserting them into the video stream.
> "May have died"

> Do they have any actual evidence to this? The closest thing I saw in the article is [...]

> Do they have any evidence of that many deaths? All I am seeing is "estimates".

The article is about estimates based on models, and so accordingly says "may" and "estimates".

> >ISGlobal and Inserm scientists previously had estimated that more than 61,000 people died in the 2022 summer heatwaves with Italy the EU country most impacted.

> But that is not "more than 70k" even if you add the 10.28% they claimed were underestimated. Even if we accept 61k + 10% as more than 70k (which it is not) then [...]

That quote notes "previously" and immediately afterwards says that they've revised that estimate.

> I'm not sure where they are getting their numbers from.

The second scenario is what's standard in enterprise class drives used with RAID controllers, the controller reports 'committed' to the OS and _then_ commits the data, it can do this because the path to nonvoltatile storage downstream of the controller has redundant power (the raid controller has a battery backup and the disks have their own battery backups, as well as control logic that guarantees data in the cache makes it to nonvolatile if the power drops out)

The first scenario is for consumer disks, they don't report 'committed' until the data is actually committed. That makes them a whole assload slower. (Unless they lie.)

Looking up the definitions of write-back vs write-thru caching will help you out here
I'm guessing the reasoning is something like this...

As a CEO I'd want your concerns brought to me so they could be addressed. But if they were addressed, that is one less paper that could be published by Ms. Toner. As a member of the openai board, seeing the problem solved is more important to openai than her publishing career.
I agree. Rationality is invariably a rationalization of gut and emotion and such. A wrapper of symbols so we can think and talk about it. And justify our conclusions.
Yes. It is my primary source of news from which I discover something useful at least once a week.
We don’t need ChatGPT summaries that are longer than the video here. Please think about how this does nothing to expand the conversation.

Yes it is definitely the case that overprovisioning can help here but it would probably be the case that you would conserve in a long power outage.
Git functionality is great. But the CLI just kind of grew in a nonsensical way. No serious effort seems to have been made on UX consistency and verb/noun names.

People who've been using it for years don't notice, they don't even think about it. But when coming from scratch, it's anything but intuitive. The CLI is not discoverable in a reasonable way.

That and there's so many ways to use it.

Mercurial had the advantage of having a much more consistent UX. Though these days I'm sure I'd struggle with it, because I'm so used to git.

Mercurial was never trying to "replace" git. All of these guys came out at the same time. Git got headspace because Linux used it and GitHub was a "cool" Ruby on Rails site, run by cool web 2.0 kids, same era as the rise of Twitter, etc. (And also down all the time, just like Twitter).
It's not the government's obligation to give legal council to a corporation.

Why are you simping for crypto merchants?
That won't happen and would actually be much worse for Monero because it means everything becomes a giant target for thieves and scammers, even more than it already is. The reason it's failed is because the idea of cryptocurrency is fundamentally bad. Monero isn't even trying to hide it. The developers openly say that criminals should use it to commit crimes.

Depends on the situation. They can be one or the other or both. It's meta, you construct code on the backend for rendering on the front end. There's no clear answer to your question other than the code being constructed is front end exclusively while the code constructing the code is hard to categorize.

>I thought your question was simply rhetoric. I didn't realize you were genuinely confused.

This whole thing was so, SO poorly executed, but the independent people on the board were gathered specifically to prioritize humanity & AI safety over OpenAI. It sounds like Sam forgot just that when he criticized Helen for her research (given how many people were posting ways to "get around" ChatGPT's guardrails, she probably had some firm grounds to stand on).

Yes, Sam made LLMs mainstream and is the face of AI, but if the board believes that that course of action could destroy humanity it's literally the board's mission to stop it — whether that means destroying OpenAI or not.

What this really shows us is that this "for-profit wrapper around a non-profit" shenanigans was doomed to fail in the first place. I don't think either side is purely in the wrong here, but they're two sides of an incredibly badly thought-of charter.
There are laws, the SEC can’t make things illegal and to enforce the laws it has to take things to court.

The laws don’t explicitly say “cryptocurrency is illegal”, instead they are effectively duck-typed, which is good because it stops “oh but my thing is different, this time we’re using bottle-caps”.
