You're inferring a lot from my comment, a lot that isn't there and wouldn't be there. You're also straw-manning rationalize your position: that you've been right for 2+ days that Sam Altman is an evil "clout chasing" tech bro who was going to oust the board but thankfully the ethical good people got to him first, because the only alternative everyone else is proposing is that the board is... "ALL mentally retarded", and this is impossible (I agree there). There are other possibilities and I don't think some hn mob is taking the position you say they are. Again, my point is you admit to being in the dark but I don't think you consider the implications that being in the dark would have on making such lucid conclusions.

My take comes from a background of not thinking boards are all that special compared to company leaders, and they're at their best when they don't interfere with extraordinary CEOs/Founders. Further, my general belief is that inexperienced boards are common, detrimental, and don't really understand this. I'm also biased against nonprofit boards, mostly from personal experience though obviously with smaller orgs.

My current take on this situation is not so much that the board was mentally retarded, but that the org structure allowed people with strong competing interests and very little "skin in the game" in the org to serve on the board, creating stronger incentives for an activist board than incentives for long-term success, which (as I alluded to) leads to poor outcomes.

Exhibit A: Adam D'Angelo at Quora/Poe.
Exhibit B: Moskovitz's ties to the other board members.

Strong incentives here to slow down OpenAI in favor of their own external, competing missions.

which brings on Exhibit C: Installing Emmett Shear, a man who wanted to slow down OpenAI's pace by 90%.
I wasn’t confused by your post, I disagreed with it. OP expects that their software will continue to deliver value over time, and so has chosen a payment model that reflects that. This is not “rent-seeking”.
> Unfortunately their capitalist asses probably want you to reduce the battery life faster and buy a new device

This tactic would work great in a world with only one phone manufacturer.
OpenAI, Inc. Is non profit but it's subsidiary OpenAI Global, LLC. Is for profit.
Because you live in a tech bubble lol. Some old people or non-tech people live without a smartphone or computer at all.
> Decades on, Wirth and Mössenböck are still an inspiration against bloatware.

I was working on an Android app today, it boggles the mind how complex and huge Android studio is. 100+ MB, just to download a particular version of gradle. And the number of menu options when you right-click on a selection of code, for example.
I think it's fair. Go and Rust are both new, viable backend languages with a ton of traction.

JS is not a serious contender in the space. OCaml and Haskell fit better, but with a much different language paradigm.
"virtue signaling" is typically used as a pejorative by people who are unable to experience empathy for others, or at least others who aren't like them. They assume, by projection, that it's disingenuous.

True. It's banally evil, but real war is just a lot worse.
not to mention the Tu-144, aka the "Concordski":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-144

though that one was so defective that even the Soviets didn't want to risk flying it. it could barely get into the air, and that'd be with several major faults and alarms blaring.
I’m sure fewer hardware choices is a huge factor.

I’m also not wholly convinced they do better software. There are some things that are better, but having been a True Believer in the past, and having left…

I can tell you that from my own experience, the software quality is nowhere near what it was 10+ years ago.

The butterfly keyboards were the final straw for me. The attitude of Apple at shoveling that crap out the door, and gaslighting their user base with the usual “a small number of users have experienced this issue” bullshit… I was done.

iOS is good. macOS is shit.

They force feed you their drivel, and by God, you’ll love it.

Oh yeah, and you’ll preach the Apple gospel while you’re at it.
> Only 2 users saw Apple’s ad next to the content, at least one of which was Media Matters.

So did Media Matters hack your server and inject the ads? I don't see why they or the other person would not be "authentic" users otherwise.
Unless of course you're trying to sell to an enterprise who's core competency isn't computational, and has limited capacity to manage new operating systems in the fleet. Lots of big orgs can only support so many things. It seems odd until you realize they're not running your service. they're running thousands of services across multiple geographic regions with hundreds of thousands of corporate users. And all the upgrade paths that go with this whole thing, and the external facing integrations, etc, etc.

So, sure, if you've got a stand-alone B2C service that's making money today, enjoy your FreeBSD, SUSE, whatever. But if you're clients include big banks, chunks of governments, etc, think really hard about going off the reservation.
Probably yeah.

Altman showed nothing why he would or wouldn’t lie. If he is really wanted to do things against the board, or the mission, or whatever, then it is in his interest to lie. However, we still don’t know anything, so we can’t exclude any possibilities. That means that interested parties’ statements’ value is almost nothing. It’s easy to lie in muddy waters.

What?

The hypothetical was reusing the plug, not reusing existing cables.

The person you were responding to explicitly mentioned that the cables would need to be upgraded.

For example, a full-size extension cord can be soldered to a USB-C plug without much difficulty.

Whatever wire gauge you want, it can be done. The bottleneck is the pins, and there's 24 of them.
There's a singular obvious reason for Sam Altman's sacking by his board - plain old jealousy of the kind that had been gnawing away for months. There's more than likely a few sociopathic types inhabiting that (if not most) boards, and they just couldn't stand to see the limelight directed at Sam and not them. Any old excuse then to oust him was used to try and 1) get back at him, 2) do something to massage their poor damaged egos.
You should have made them fake manager like Michael Scott appointed Dwigt Schrute
So if I give 5 euros, 1 of this will go to salaries. I'd say not terrible. I wouldn't be surprised if most charities are worse.

One just have to get over the feeling that I'm donating to a charity of people who make 50x more money than I do with a comparable skill set.
As someone working in cyber I’m actually thankful the buzzword seems to be passing over us to AI. Good riddance.

> What exactly is the problem here? Is a non-profit expected to exclusively help impoverished communities or something?

Yes. Yes and more yes.

That is why, at least in the U.S., we have given non-profits exemptions from taxation. Because they are supposed to be improving society, not profiting from it.
Is there any data to back up the "faster to start and more resource-efficient", especially if you compare it to the native non-Python solutions that most people are using to run LLMs on local machines?

I'm as big of a fan of Rust and WASM as the next person, but throwing around claims like that without benchmarks is one of the quickest ways to get your product dismissed.
As I tried to explain, it's not the code that people don't understand. People understand the code they wrote.

It's why the bunch of linear algebra on the weights works to do this particular task, and how it will respond to any particular task that is a bit mysterious.

Like imagine someone gave you the Taylor series expansion of the inverse Kepler equation[1]. So you just have a bunch of crazy fractions of powers of x that you add up. And then they say ok now the this function will very accurately explain the orbit of the planets.

You'd be able to do the steps - you're just adding up fractions. You'd be able to verify the answer you got corresponded to the orbit of a given celestial body.

But if you didn't have all the pieces in the middle (calculus mainly) there's no way you'd be able to explain why this particular set of fractions corresponds to the movement of the planets and some other set doesn't.

The contract was signed before he joined, and that sale clause did not materialise after the fact.

I was under the impression that what defines the proletariat is someone whose income primarily comes from their labour, rather than capital. In this case, plenty of academics and engineers certainly qualify if they need to work to live.

I think the parent commenter is using the term in that context, rather than if they work a blue-collar job or if they’re middle class.
Still useful to find weak links as a foreign adversary.
Gotcha. I'll see what I can do.
I'd happily believe that the oldest process is likely the ideal, especially combined with my anecdotal evidence that Georgian wine is wonderful stuff, and does not give me a hint of a headache.
> Predict the next word

Are there any papers testing how good humans are at predicting the next word?

I presume us humans fail badly:

1. as the variance in input gets higher?

2. Poor at regurgitating common texts (e.g. I couldn't complete a known poem).

3. When context starts to get more specific (majority of people couldn't complete JSON)?
Probably. Or at least that turned out to not matter so much. The alternative, keeping both control of resources and direct power in the state, seems to keep causing millions of deaths. Separating them into markets for resources and power for a more limited state seems to work much better.

This idea also ignores innovation. New rich people come along and some rich people get poor. That might indicate that money isn't a great proxy for power.
I just want to say thank you to everyone who is doing tests and contributing to this, you are truly unsung heroes (not sarcasm)
I disagree that it's possible to estimate how dangerous an aircraft is based on its incidents/flight ratio. There's lots of other factors: Russian weather, inadequate training, inadequate maintenance, and far more landings on poorly maintained and even totally unpaved runways:

> Capable of operating from unpaved and gravel airfields with only basic facilities, it was widely used in the extreme Arctic conditions of Russia's northern/eastern regions, where other airliners were unable to operate.
Go has a fat runtime and GC, which is absolutely not a bad thing, that’s not my point, but Rust and Zig are in their niche, because they are low-level programming languages. That’s their unique trait. You can’t just call into go from the kernel, but you could do it for the other two languages.

Also, rust is not a backend language, it can be used for that, but that’s definitely not its main appeal.
Why would they block another great reason for people to buy their hardware?
Utterly false. A google search for that phrase yields "It looks like there aren't many great matches for your search". And no search engine will yield the code for such an app unless the engine is LLM-based.
Some state governments already perform facial recognition when issuing drivers licenses. There have been stories of twins being unable to obtain an ID because it was flagged as fraud due to matching facial features.
OK the butterfly keyboard was a big mess but it's now cleared. Apple Silicon macs don't seem to suffer from any hardware issues to speak of. I heard M2 Airs of early batches had thermal issues throttling the CPU but it's been quickly fixed.
As far as I've seen, Americans are just plain inconsistent on this spelling.

Cancelled has nice pairing with cancellation, canceled can be typed nicely without any repeated finger use on qwerty, both clearly mean the same thing and aren't confused with something else... I say let the battles begin, and may the best speling win.

Referer pains me though.
>Alternative theory: ChatGPT was a runaway hit product that sucked up a lot of the organization's resources and energy. Sam and Greg wanted to roll with it and others on the board did not.

It does, but in most of Europe at least, the process for (legally) getting a prepaid SIM card also involves showing government ID.
Maybe the best analogy would be speed running a video game and then suing the developer because you didn't get the "estimated playtime" listed on the box. You're abusing the product, it will not perform to spec.

* About 1 in every 365 black babies are born with sickle cell disease.

* People who come from Hispanic, Southern European, Middle Eastern, or Asian Indian backgrounds can also have sickle cell disease.

* Of the 74 817 hospitalized for sickle cell disease (2016 to 2018), 69 889 (93.4%) were Blacks, 3603 (4.8%) were Hispanics, and 1325 (1.8%) were Whites.
> If people trust a company which poisons their food, they should be punished for misplacing their trust. Both the scammer and the scammed deserve a share of the punishment. Life naturally punishes the scammed already and teaches them a lesson at the same time... Without the help of the FDA... How good is that?!

If your food is poison, you don't have the opportunity to learn from your mistake and stop doing business with that company, because you die. If you don't eat any food, you still die.

But Coca Cola is fully FDA-approved -- even though it's bad for you. Because it doesn't immediately kill you, which gives you the opportunity to make your own choices and learn from your mistakes.

Which is how investments work. Some of them are better than others. The role of the government isn't to make the decision for you, it's to punish the people who deceive you. And since bad investments don't cause anaphylaxis or liver damage, the case for heavy-handed rules or pre-registration is missing.

If someone is running a ponzi or committing fraud, you arrest them, the same as you do if they're selling counterfeit electronics. If someone is just buying and selling cryptocurrency on the internet, which is the thing you purposely intended to exchange for your money, and they do nothing more than faithfully convey to you the thing you knowingly requested, what does the government need to regulate about it? Nothing nefarious is occurring.
I would rather OpenAI have a diverse base of income from commercialization of its products than depend on "donations" from a couple ultrarich individuals or corporations. GPT-4 cost $100 million+ to train. That money needs to come from somewhere.
Android was a pure empire defense reaction by Google. Quality was not the priority but market capture through low prices was the game. Just like what they did with free email/free video. Youtube did not end up producing better Quality than Netflix/HBO/Disney. And gmail totally lost opportunities to become social media or whatsapp.

Quality always drops if the main goal is market capture ie get as many cows into the corral focusing only on total milk flow, and afterwards worry about the quality of milk of individual cows.

Apple had already captured and locked in those who could afford higher prices (people who have 1000 bucks to throw away don't care about price). Add in the Telco's subsidizing iphone to play their own empire defense games, and Apple Quality got into the hands of enough people.

Microsoft still has had better software people and stacks than Apple, it just lost the consumer market (windows phone was any day better than android too bad they gave up on it - 2008 gfc influenced lot of decisions). For large businesses what Microsoft cloud/stacks offers is a thousand times better than what everyone else does.
Good luck!

I’m curious as to how much of the development of the follow-on ground-up airframe can actually be done in Australia, though. To my knowledge the largest aircraft ever designed in Australia was the GAF Nomad, and that was more than 50 years ago!

Given the sheer scale of specialised engineering skills required, aren’t you going to end up having to have the majority of your engineering staff in the USA and/or Europe?
1. People don’t trust the government and are wary of giving it more power

2. You’re missing that your face is different than a piece of paper. You can choose to refuse to show ID in some cases. You could keep your face covered, but that has ramifications you might not desire

3. The Feds are worse because they are already much more powerful than any state government.

It’s really not hard to see where the fear is. This might be one of the most obtuse comments I have seen on here
This seems intuitively true but has it been established ?
Everything in the output of LLMs is inherited from human tendencies ... that's the very essence of how they work. But LLMs themselves don't have any of these tendencies ... they are just statistical engines that extract patterns from the training data.

Be aware that you should always take TUV reports with a grain of salt.

When I, as a Ford owner, need the bi-annual TUV inspection, I go to a Ford dealer to let them take care of it. They will pre-inspect the car for me (and usually I let them also do the annual maintenance at the same time), and they will fix any issues before the TUV inspector sees it. That's cheaper for me, because I don't have to pay TUV twice (even if the fee for re-inspections is lower), I always get my car back on the same day, and it's also much better for Ford, because the car won't show up in TUV reports.

Tesla doesn't have a dealership network like Ford or the other big brands. I guess most owners will just drive to the TUV station, without pre-inspection, and thus their cars will end up in the report.

For the same reason, value brands show up more often in the TUV reports. Their owners often don't go to dealerships and don't stick to the maintenance plan, but drive to TUV directly or go to smaller garages which don't do the pre-inspection.
This is what his sister said, they are just trolling I think.
Really? If that is true, I wonder how much is due to the fact that the phones are more expensive so people take care of them more or delay their next purchase. It's not because the actual quality would be better.

If you pull statistics you also have to filter out the sub 150 dollar Andoid phones which may well have shorter average usage life.
I have the exact opposite experience. My 2013 MBP can keep its charge for months while suspended/hibernated. My first-gen M1 MBA will deplete the battery in a week under the same conditions.
I've found this to be true as well. Sample size of 1:

My Android tablet, Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, loses something like 10%/day when on standby. I don't use it every day, so either I have to leave it plugged in the whole time, or have the foresight to charge it the day before I want to use it for something.

What /really/ annoys me is I have this really really old Android tablet. I think it's running Anrdoid 5 or 6 or something. It's only really good for light web reading and nothing else. When it's charged, it'll standby for literal months. It can lay in my drawer, forgotten, and then a month later I can pick it up and it'll be still above 60%. When in use the battery drops like a lead balloon, within the hour it's dead. But standby is fantastic. Why can't modern Android do that any more?
