Since a lot of the board’s responsibilities are tied to capabilities of the platform, it’s possible that Altman asked for Ilya to determine the capabilities, didn’t like the answer, then got somebody else to give the “right” answer, which he presented to the board. A simple dual-track project shouldn’t be a problem, but this kind of thing would be seen as dishonesty by the board.
Part of me wants to believe that this is the doing of neighbourly pirates liberating ebooks from them.
The infographic is a bit disingenuous. You are generally going to pick one solution for each category, and realistically there’s going to be 2-3 viable choices for each.

That said, it’s only a matter of time before something simpler and a little more opinionated than Kube is able to successfully service 99% of use cases.

I don't think I've ever really doubted SpaceX could build such a rocket & eventually get it to work. But why? What is the commercial utility in such a large launch platform?
If customers are aware of it, maybe not. But if they're representing to customers that these are their funds, expressly or implicitly claiming that they're held separately, then that would be inherently problematic - it means those customers are a lot worse off if Kraken goes bankrupt, because if Kraken has been paying operational expenses out of those accounts then their suppliers etc. can go after those accounts. (And no, the regulators won't treat it as a "no harm no foul" just because Kraken didn't in fact go bankrupt - they were exposing their customers to risk even if that risk didn't come to pass)

So both Mira and Ilya voted to kick Sam out. And are now on team Sam. This makes absolutely no sense. Why did they vote yes in the first place then?
there is little more painful than ostracism?

Tell that to the tens of millions of graves that Nazis and Fascists littered Europe with, within living memory.

All this pearl clutching about cancel culture is just a naked attempt to permit the normalization of Fascism, gay bashing, Jew hating, and pushing down the Blacks again, in order to energize the last vestiges of the aging-out conservative right wing.

'there is little more painful than ostracism.'
Does anyone in this thread feel any progress has been made in this direction since the 90s (when Steve Buscemi brought it up in Reservoir Dogs)?

I would have thought the battery or the powertrain or some EV-specific component would be the source of the problems. Does anybody know why these more seemingly standardized parts are failing at higher rates?

> If you're the type of person who thinks we should just give up this position by not adequately defending it through military and technology investment, I would prefer that you just expatriate yourself now rather than let some other ascendant nation dictate our future and our quality of life.

But I thought you said if we want to fix something we should do so from within the system? I'm interested in ending American imperialism, by your logic isn't the best place to do so from within the USA?

> We already have nation states and wannabe nation states that take shots at us when they feel like the opportunity is there

From which nation state do you feel an existential threat? I haven't heard "they defend our freedoms" in a very, very long time, and I thought we all knew it was ironic.

> I think the planet has relatively finite resources

I'm curious about this viewpoint, because it seems to necessarily imply that the human race will simply die out when those resources (and those of the surrounding solar system) are exhausted. Is sustainability just, not a concept in this worldview?

> That's what having a funded and functional defense is all about -- making other entities not think that the opportunity is there.

It seems in the case of the USA, the "functional defense" is more often used to destabilize other nations, and arm terrorists that then turn around and attack the USA. It's really interesting you brought up Palestinian liberation as an example, because really one of the only reasons Israel is able to maintain its apartheid state and repression of the Palestinians is because of USA aid. In your understanding, both the Israelis and the Palestinians should arm up and up and up until they're both pointing nukes at eachother, correct? That's the only pathway to peace?

> You mean when the advertising companies pulled their money from Twitter after its owner said Jews "pushing [...] hatred against whites" was "the actual truth"?

Not really, because I specifically stated that my response was not about the Musk situation. "Jewish communities hate whites" does sound pretty antisemitic to me.

But so does the equivalent trash of "all whites are racist", which for some reason is a-ok for the advertising companies.

The problem with FreeBSD is that it couldn't keep up. No containers or VMs (jails and their homegrown HV don't cut it), fewer drivers, etc. It's great for some server use cases but I just couldn't do my work in FreeBSD. I did like it though, the docs and community are great.
How do you merge changes between the source trees?

Keep in mind this predates basically ANY kind of source control. It would have been nearly 3x the work.
either that or Sam didn't tell Adam D'Angelo that they were launching a competing product in exactly the same space that poe.ai had launched one. For some context, poe had launched something similar to those custom GPTs with creator revenue sharing etc. just 4 weeks prior to dev-day
Ask HN: Any similar cases to OAI; 90% of employees forcing a board retreat?
This seems unprecedented. Incidentally ChatGPT agrees. Im interested in reading about cases where employees cause a board to retreat from its position.
iPhone does not reflect these gains. I did own a Huawei and I felt those really had slow drain.
CRISPR is definitely an awesome technology, and I'm glad that after many decades of research, we're finally getting approved treatments as a result.

That being said, I do want to clarify that this isn't a "cure" for sickle cell disease. It is not editing the gene causing sickle cell itself, but rather allowing for increasing production of HbF (fetal hemoglobin) by knocking down a suppressor. Hydroxyurea, a current standard of care option in sickle cell disease, also increases HbF production but response can be variable among patients (but when it works, absolutely improves quality of life!)

In addition, I think we always need to keep in mind potential toxicities and hopefully, we learn more about this when the publication actually comes out. It's important to note that giving this therapy requires giving high dose chemotherapy beforehand, and I'd also be interested in knowing how long this therapy actually lasts as I do expect the product may wane with time.

But still, so excited to see CRISPR technology coming to the public and the potential for this technology in many different disease states!
Looks very promising.
> I know my android phone will let you cap max charge at an arbitrary level

Yeah I used to have old Pixel phones as Home Assistant clients on my walls until they all started bulging one by one and I had to treat them as a fire hazard.

I now use Samsung tablets, ironically, that have a cap at 80% feature and they seem to be doing fine.
The comparison is between old car manufacturers who have been perfecting building standardized parts for 10s of years, and between tesla who is still figuring that part out too.

Both VW and Tesla have been making EV-specific components for about the same amount of time (not long), but VW has something like 70 years more experience than Tesla in making brakes (edit: integrating brakes into cars, fine)
So? Sam gave Worldcoin early access to OpenAI's proprietary technology. Should Sam step down (oh wait)?

> When we realised that they were simultaneously screaming about how shit we were

Right, but this is where your response baffles me: they've reported a genuine issue with the implementation, so why not fix it for everybody instead of "put[ting] it back on the shelf" and letting others suffer too?

It sort of sounds like "they complained about us, so fuck them and their issue" (except it's not just their issue). Wouldn't it be better to work around disagreements to benefit everybody, instead?
When people write stuff like this, I wonder if they've ever seriously used ChatGPT at all.

I use ChatGPT all the time in my software dev job and I find it incredibly helpful. First, it's just much faster than pouring over doc to find the answer you want when you know what you're asking for. Second, when you don't know exactly what you're asking for (i.e. "How would I accomplish X using technology Y"), it's incredibly helpful because it points you to some of the keywords that you should be searching for to find more/corroborate. Third, for some set of tasks (i.e. "write me an example of code that does this") I find it faster to ask ChatGPT to write the code for me first - note this one is the least common of the tasks I use ChatGPT for because I can usually write the code faster.

Yes, I know ChatGPT hallucinates. No, I don't just copy-and-paste the output into my code and press enter. But it saves me a ton of time in some specific areas, and I think that people that don't learn how to use generative AI tools effectively will be at a huge productivity disadvantage.
> That way it will make people aware

These are all electronic devices. You can also just put big warnings in software instead of calling it 125%.

It's not any different from filling up a blender, water bottle, etc. to 80% instead of 100% to avoid creating a mess. Sooner or later people will know to avoid charging batteries to 100%.

> that they are reducing the battery life by overcharging

Unfortunately their capitalist asses probably want you to reduce the battery life faster and buy a new device, which helps boost sales, boost revenue, boost shareholder happiness, boost stock price, and ultimately boost CEO net worth

White wines have just as much or more sulfite than red. The sulfites are there to prevent oxidation, and minor oxidation in a white is a far more obvious fault -- visually, and on the nose -- than in a red. People nowadays expect their whites to be crisp and fruity and without a hint of oxidation.

Especially lots of sulfites in off-dry whites, which require a lot more intervention to stop them from fermenting to dry (sterile filtration, extra sulfite, and sometimes potassium sorbate [which I can personally taste at even extremely low concentrations and instantly classifies the wine as 'cheap' to me])

Finally, should mention that while sulfites are added, they also occur naturally as a byproduct of fermentation. Yeasts produce them. Another way (along with alcohol production) they they seem to want to commit suicide :-)

One thing that is (mostly) unique in reds is malolactic fermentation / malolactic bacteria. I've always wondered if the red-wine-headache people might in fact be sensitive to byproducts from that.
I think that people of certain generations need to be taught the beauty of a burner account. You get to say whatever you want, and are invulnerable to criticism. The downside is there’s no ego boost to seeing your name in the news or using your fame to get impressions. But that’s the double sided sword of reputation.

When I was growing up on the internet, everyone understood the value of pseudo anonymity. But then Facebook came along and everyone is shocked that attaching your name and face to your random thoughts is a bad idea.

And while a burner account is vulnerable to doxing, at least that’s universally viewed as going over the line. And maybe as an owner of a social media platform, Musk could prevent doxing with better privacy tools.
I'm sorry, but calling this fraud is a stretch. Twitter served ads next to extremist content and doesn't deny it. Their defense is that it's rare because most people don't follow that combination of accounts* and don't doom scroll.

If I were an advertiser using a service that said I could prevent my ads from appearing next to extremist content, I'd want the chance to be 0%, not rare. Rare at Twitter scale is still a lot.

- * In light of the Bud Light boycott, I bet there are a decent number of users who follow brands (like Bud Light) and hateful content (anti-trans propaganda). Note Twitters use of the weasel word "average".
Oh, definitely not self-contradictory!

In retrospect it's a mistaken position, because it's pretty obvious now that if OpenAI disintegrates it will be as an exodus to Microsoft, which will undoubtedly be a worse steward, but I think it's an ethically consistent position to hold, in a naive sort of way. That's part of why I believe they actually said something like this.
How is it a "transferable share"? When I buy a crypto token what do I own a share of? And you can't say "a share of the total supply of tokens" because by that definition anything is a security, e.g. a gold coin would be a share of the total supply of gold coins. And it has been clearly decided by the courts that such things are not securities. Even things that are much more "security" like, e.g. a piece of a syndicated bank loan, are not considered securities.
It's not a denial of service attack for them to scroll more than a typical user. They don't allege it is such an attack either. If X is correct, they certainly went to some effort to make the screenshots and its somewhat of a synthetic test because they only follow brand accounts and hate accounts – but that would be the first way you'd test such a hypothesis and X did in fact serve them the ads next to that content.

The SEC has been consistently saying that most crytoassets were securities. The only acknowledged exception, for which it had contradictory statements, is if a protocol is "sufficiently decentralized" such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.[1]

On the IPO, the registration is independant from such pursuits as the SEC raised during their approval. [2]

That said, there would have been better course of action to protect consumers, such as establishing an appropriate regulatory framework, but I may be too European.

You mean like being fired by a board member as part of their scheme to breach their fiduciary duty by launching a competitive product in another company?
Well, if you have profits, you can put them in the bank, into the company, acquire other companies or buy your own stock.

Of those alternatives, buying stock drives up its price and hence the wealth of the holders, but the big holders gain the most.

I don’t think that the state of the economy has anything to do with it, except that the company presumably makes more profit with a hot economy and more money to play with.

Just my opinion. Open to corrections. An acquisition can be additive, but it’s not a lock.
True, but I don't think food is ever not free on such long flights - nobody wants to face a hundred of hungry people in a closed quarters :) Usually shorter flights - and alcohol on longer ones - are where the money are made, I think.

Yes, It does that based on some none-transparent parameters.
For example, right now my phone will try to slow charge at night. However, charging at night is impossible for me as the temperatures are too low (10f is nothing unusual right now on the divide). So, I have to set a fake alarm (or change my time zone) in hope that adaptive charging mode will trigger slow charging. It doesn't always work.
The utility is decreasing launch cost per kg by a couple orders of magnitude from the Falcon Heavy, which already represented a huge decrease from other launch systems. Decreasing costs to <1% of former costs seems likely to open a lot of new potential use cases.
What makes Sam Altman so damn special in this regard? Why is he immune to all these same adversarial interests and inputs where anyone else would be imperiled?

I listed those three countries for two reasons: First, because they are adjacent to the first two I listed. Secondly, because workers from those countries are numerous enough in the companies I have worked that they could plausibly form ethnic enclave teams if they were inclined to.

In contrast, I have only worked with a small handful of Australians.. they are too few and far between to plausibly form all-Australian teams. I have worked with far more Japanese, Korean and Pakistani coworkers; these nationalities have been heavily represented in the workplaces I have experience with yet I've never seen nor heard of a team where they were conspicuously over-represented.

Another thing: In my entire career I've never been on a team of only white people (of any nationality), nor to the best of my recollection have I ever seen a team larger than 4 or 5 that only had white people. Guestimating some rough numbers... if a company is 50% white and 15% Chinese and there are no ethnic biases present, what are the odds I would see numerous large all-Chinese teams but never a large all-white team? This sort of circumstance arising without bias seems deeply implausible.

I get that they’ve known each other. But “diligence” usually suggests a more thorough vetting than being CEO buddies.

My take: the board already demonstrated they fire badly, and here we’ll see them hire bad as well.
It is a clever idea. It makes it easier to put together “JAMStack” type solutions where the browser orchestrates everything and this solves the trust problem.

OpenAI and chatbots are a good example. Although I would want a proxy to keep track of usage too in that scenario.

Well for one thing they’ll be able to launch 240 Starlink satellites at a time instead of just 60 on the Falcon 9. If they get to the point of reusing the booster and the second stage the cost savings with Starship will be significant over the Falcon 9.

It’s also not unreasonable that the Altman camp pushed on Ilya first as he was the most likely to switch his vote. D’Angelo is suddenly in the cross hairs for conflict of interest. If he’s taken off the board - then the remaining two members can vote provided there is no quorum rule.

Alternately, the goal is to drive so much ambiguity into the boards decision that MSFT files a lawsuit.
