Blender files are dramatically more complex than any image format, which are basically all just 2D arrays of 3-value vectors. The blender filetype uses a weird DNA/RNA struct system that would probably require its own training run.

Pricing will also be determined by marginal maintenance and running costs; Foils significantly reduce running costs; going electric reduces running, environmental, maintenance costs.
No, a board is supposed to weigh their decisions carefully and only after due deliberation and concern for all possible outcomes should they decide.

This isn't a boy scout operation, it's the governance structure of a 90 billion dollar company. That comes with some requirements regarding temperament and wisdom.

They definitely would have to document the decision, if they wish to sidestep future liability due to being challenged on that decision and not being able to prove that they went through all of the required steps of the dance to make an irreversible decision with far reaching consequences.
If nobody is willing to put their names on those statements then there is absolutely zero reason to believe it is anything other than one of their competitors trying to take advantage of an opportune time to weaken the forerunner.

This is worthless and shouldn't be on the HN homepage.
I'd also add some comments on reddit by a user who claims to work at OpenAI: https://www.reddit.com/user/Anxious_Bandicoot126
All great points, it’s wild that this small non-profit board had so much power with so little at stake for themselves. That’s a typical feature of a non-profit board, but in this case the entity wasn’t a typical non-profit.

To your points, such a split makes too much sense and the ship has probably sailed when the employees showed they have no loyalty or responsibilities to the organization itself.
While I mostly agree with you, I hope deno removes at least part of the nodejs mess when becomes ready for prime time. It's already better designed in so many ways. Then I can safely ignore the typescript functionality that, like you said, ads too little value for me. This is mostly wishful thinking. If deno doesn't deliver, maybe bun will. The funny thing is they are trying to improve deno by adding compatibility to the same nodeisms that make node such a messy experience, like package.json and node_modules. Once these will get used out of habbit, there is no going back.
People also believed that recorded music would destroy the player piano industry and the market for piano rolls. Just because recorded music is cheaper doesn't mean that the audience will be willing to give up the actual sound of a piano being played.

It varies significantly by airline, route and aircraft type. There is some open data on this from Form 41 filings sent to the FAA (here's a piece of analysis based on it https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/regulations_policies...)

Fuel and maintenance tends to cost more than the aircraft lease or financing/depreciation costs, so yes they'd have to justify it economically based on the fuel being affordable (and possibly lower maintenance)? In the near term, I think proponents of hydrogen aviation are expecting increases in taxes on jet fuel to do some of the work on operating economics, whilst they build out their own infrastructure.

Spotify didn't have a web player available in the first few years of its existence.

1. Depends on what you need, how long it runs, etc etc. If you just need cron/triggers, Supabase can get you quite far. If you need proper processing you might need some other service or host something yourself. We use modal.com, but there are many options.

2. Three options: use the supabase admin panel, build something yourself (or use templates), or use a 3rd party tool - many low code tools can connect to postgres and there are also some specific integrations with supabase.

3. Supabase has auth built in, with RLS you can control data access.

4. Next.js is just React when it's in the browser, so yes, it will work well. If you use the Supabase realtime with their client library it will handle all the socket connection for you.

5. Have a look at https://www.madewithsupabase.com/tag/Open%20Source it's not all next.js but there are quite a few.
Not really. SEC investigations are civil, not criminal. They might end up paying a fine, but there is no risk of jail time or anything similar. Also, while I like Kraken as an exchange, its market share is not significant enough for it to matter in the big picture.

The funny thing is the increased capacity wasn't necessarily the biggest driver for this upgrade. Part of the selling point to Boris Johnson who was mayor at the time was that he could stick it to the train driver's unions (who were having a big fight with him at the time) by introducing automatic train operation.

The problem with relying on post COVID passenger reductions is that whilst tube numbers are down 20% since COVID that just means they're at the level they were in 2009/10. Even if they don't bounce back fully this year, post COVID working hasn't cut out the peaky nature of tube travel. Even if people work from home Monday and Friday, they'll often all come into the office on Tues-Thurs making peaks on those days.

I agree the demand for capacity on other lines that is even more pressing. Last time I rode the tube regularly was 10 years ago and even then I recall the Victoria line during rush hour was literally cattle class, your face in someone else's armpit. The 2019 numbers put the Northern Central, Jubilee and Victoria lines are well over the 100% mark at peak time. Despite having the highest comparative fares compared to other cities the Tube is still woefully underfunded. There is so much technical debt because much of the system was built in the 1800's and early 20th century. First mover disadvantage, because we got to make all the mistakes.

I tried a rower for the first time a couple days ago, and found immediate relief from ADHD-like symptoms that lasts a few hours.

I'm not diagnosed, but have pretty severe trouble getting into a task-oriented mode, so much that dishes go unwashed, and my home is a mess. I feel the mess wearing away at me, but just can't deal with it. I'm not overly busy or tired, just procrastinating.

After 5 minutes on the rower my mood drastically improved and I was much more productive than usual, and the effect lasted about 3 hours. I've had a few more sessions since then with similar effects.

Also, it's a little spooky how often a subject comes on my radar, and then a few days later the subject surfaces on HN. Feels too frequent for it to be a coincidence.
Ah, the classic 'do your own research.'

If I dig deeper, and determine that <some shit coin> is a scam, well, I am just looking at the wrong one.

If I dig deeper, and decide that it's not, and then get burned later, I should have done more due diligence.

'Digging deeper' in a minefield is, generally speaking, not great advice.
Well hindsight is 50/50. The company probably never thought they'd almost commit suicide.
The employees won’t resign and I doubt Microsoft will match the hypothetical 90B valuation for their profit participation units, otherwise they would’ve left already (Microsoft has agreed to match).

The investors have no power here and are effectively irrelevant. The remaining board had little to lose. The charter explicitly calls investment risky, so they’re good there too.

> The Company's duty to this mission and the principles advanced in the OpenAl, Inc. Charter take precedence over any obligation to generate a profit. The Company may never make a profit, and the Company is under no obligation to do so.

Even if the employees left I’m sure there is a class of person who would join still.

My questions are who will be permanently ceo, and why did they foolishly accuse Altman of lying. Luckily for them everyone lies and they can just pick something, but it was a bad move.
New technique probes 'functional networks' in LLM with fMRI statistical analysis
Researchers have adapted techniques from functional neuroimaging to map internal "functional networks" in large language models. By presenting the model with task-based prompts in an on/off pattern, they identified distinct networks preferentially activated for domains like political science, radiology, and paleontology.

They found the greatest overlap between networks for radiology and pathology, suggesting shared semantic representations. The activated connections were fairly consistent across runs with similar tasks, and strongly predicted the prompted task in held-out experiments.

This offers a new way to peel back the black box of large models and understand their hidden organizational logic. It could help explain failures, selectively target parts of a model for fine-tuning, or monitor "alignment" during inference. The techniques parallel those used for decades to map functional networks in the brain.

Great job.
People really need to stop taking this attitude.

A company or project starts with just one or two people finding an issue with an existing product and building something new. That's how we benefit as a society and why open source is such a successful model.

In the AI world it has never been easier to take an existing model, augment it with your own data and build something new. And there are so many communities supporting each other to do just that. If everyone was so defeatist we never would have the ability to run models on low end hardware which companies like Meta, OpenAI have no interest in.
Right - which would be a non-compete.
As length increases so do the support/balancing requirements between multiple foils (front vs rear); As weight increases, lift may want to be increased to keep a low liftoff speed. As lift increases, speed and maneuverability decrease.
Moving packet processing into userspace means adding latency, including TLB pressure, in order to do the context switch.

This isn't the case because VPP polls the NIC from userspace and never enters the kernel. There are no context switches.
Saying that the Mensheviks predate the Bolsheviks is kind of odd- there was one political party, then they had a big fight and split in two. Menshevik literally means "minority" and Bolshevik "majority", that's how intertwined the two are.
> I don’t think the board is under any pressure.

Ok, you have a higher threshold for the use of the word pressure than I do.

> If they don’t do anything else they just need the employees to fold on their threat to resign. Even if the employees resign, ChatGPT is still running and there are lots of people willing to take the defecting employees spots.

I wouldn't be so sure of that.

> The only thing they are pressured on is to fill in the story for the media point of view which is irrelevant to the actual functioning of OpenAI.

Their investors, employees and donors might disagree with that.

This "benefit of all humanity" is a nebulous turn of phrase.

I played Discordia (2022) and found it a bit unique. Also a bit multi-player solitaire, but the race to deplete workers was fun.

Then there's reprints like Ra (1999/2023), that I found quite nice to introduce to new players because the graphic design of the tiles was improved.

Overall, I'm still trying to play games from 2022!
>The industrial revolution had been decades underway before cheap oil, and would have continued if oil was never found in Pennslyvania. But cheap oil definitely helped speed it along faster.

That is certainly true. I meant using it a benchmark to extrapolate from. In many ways it seems to me that the industrialization at that time had a pretty negative trajectory, with a heavy basis in coal and brutal industrial towns. It is quite possible that we are living one of the best possible timelines from 1900.
This is not true. You can buy digital movies from Prime Video within the app.

But what technically allowed for so much progress?

There’s been open source AI/ML for 20+ years.

Nothing comes close to the massive milestones over the past year.
Late OpenAI investors sweating right now looking at the potential bag hold in their portfolio.
I think these are the main drivers behind the progress:

- Unsupervised learning techniques, e.g. transformers and diffusion models. You need unsupervised techniques in order to utilize enough data. There have been other unsupervised techniques in the past, e.g. GANs, but they don't work as well.

- Massive amounts of training data.

- The belief that training these models will produce something valuable. It costs between hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars to train these models. The people doing the training need to believe they're going to get something interesting out at the end. More and more people and teams are starting to see training a large model as something worth pursuing.

- Better GPUs, which enables training larger models.

- Honestly the fall of crypto probably also contributed, because miners were eating a lot of GPU time.
> where all the employees have basically sworn out an oath of fealty to the CEO, as it means they (the investors) have basically no control over anything.

Another interpretation: those closest to the internal workings of the business believe that a certain person is best capable of managing the business. Turns out that person is also who the investors believe in. So rather than fealty to a person, they are simply voting (with their feet apparently) against the board.
That's why the ETFs are coming from non-crypto orgs - Blackrock, Fidelity, etc.
To play devil's advocate, I can see the fees being justified to recoup setup costs that may be incurred for new service, etc but if there are already broken out costs for installation, equipment, etc it becomes far less defensible.
I'm sure it would end badly, but sometimes I fantasize about the U.S. citizens having a LEO that actively investigates / prosecutes government officials who violate the constitution.
Please do not create jobs. Seriously, this is a good way to get people related to politicians in various places that just pay a salary. Now the whole neighborhood is worse off. This will only lead to corruption and nepotism.

Helping businesses with something like an incubator is a good idea, and these businesses can create jobs instead of the government creating jobs.

Hopefully, these Chromebooks will make it easier for people to access knowledge/entertainment, leading to businesses/self-employment/more jobs naturally and sustainably.
The employees have lots of power especially if they organize and demand a lot. As of now feels like they are being treated as pawns.
These words are gonna get ate one way or another. There is no outcome where the current board wins.

Wow, thanks for all the feedback! I agree that expression level editing can get pretty cumbersome at times, it's the biggest design challenge in the editor I think. One thing we may add is a toggle to edit expressions in plain text and parse them back into the visual bubbles.

Re: the fact that syntax errors are possible: it is really really hard to make an editor where invalid states are impossible while trying to make expressions easy to enter. Scratch and other block languages do this by forcing you to write code in prefix order. I want to PLUS 2 and 3, vs in Pickcode where you write 2 + 3, and the expression is in an invalid state before you enter the 3. Rewriting 2 + 3 to 2 + (2 + 1) is really hard when you have to think in prefix notation. One advantage that we have is when there are syntax errors, they are necessarily at the expression level, so in the worst case the student can just scrap the line and start over, vs in plain text where the error message for a mismatched paren could land lines later.

Putting your name on something like this would make you unemployable anywhere, whether this is true or false. It makes perfect sense that nobody would do so.
I would say TSMC product is actually a half product. They have a fabrication process, but they do not have their own chip design. And there is no way in hell that Intel or AMD processors would reach the same profit margins as M3. Which is why Apple, who has the best product, can make the highest bid.

> Some children are literally living in a warzone and don't know if they will survive through the week, some live in poverty, some lose one of their parents or both.

This isn't the gotcha you think it is. Yes, there are children who experience worse trauma and stress than COVID lockdowns. However, those children of war will be also be developmentally stunted, far, far, more than the children of COVID lockdowns.

This is a "yes, and" scenario. Reducing stress in all its forms during early childhood development is the goal here, and the fact that some have more than others does not mean those with less stress are worthy of casual dismissal.
Don’t tell anyone. But Netflix doesn’t pay retail for AWS and Spotify doesn’t pay retail for GCP. Heck Epic has special deals with console makers
OpenAI: How could Microsoft have let this happen after betting so many billions?
Except crypto is way easier for criminals to move funds around better than what you've suggested.
The difference is that you can easily sell Joe Bob's Cola at many other retailers and still reach a huge amount of customers. Your streaming service can use Azure, GCP, or any number of other options. But if you want to distribute your mobile app you are essentially forced to use Google Play and App Store, and you must give Google and Apple their 30% (or whatever percentage it is now) cut.

We can argue that you can distribute your app other ways (at least on Android), but that's not even comparable because of the artificial barriers that are put in place to make that difficult.
Paper Mario was initially fine IMO. It laserfocused into a very different niche; because it made stat logic simple math puzzles, the developers were able to build out the interactive element to SMRPGs fights into something that feels appropriate, yet not too obtrusive (something which the franchise would end up losing by the time Sticker Star came rolling around). A lot of attacks in SMRPG just have one button you press to make them stronger; by contrast Paper Mario would introduce things like stick flicking, holding moves or inserting certain button combinations to make them stronger.

Tonally I'd say 64, TTYD and Super manage to stick close enough to being "quirky, yet funny" with all of them having some emotional beats that they don't undercut. Sticker Star, Color Splash and Origami King all veer into self-parody levels when it comes to the writing and it just... sucks really. It's hard to take the entire thing seriously when everything you interact with makes a joke about how everything is made of paper every other sentence.

Mario & Luigi for the most part isn't really based on SMRPG. Most of it's DNA comes from a game called Tomato Adventure instead. That said, it did end up borrowing the more superficial RPG elements. Superstar Saga and Partners in Time probably fare the best in terms of mixing more RPG-like elements, while the games after would rapidly swing between "way too easy" and "absurdly difficult" when it came to the interactive component.

I'd say that last bit about game design only really started to fade away in... around the early-to-mid-2010s really. It was falling out of favor before that with Xbox and Playstation's approach to game design but the whole "everything is online now" means that games are trying to fight with their players against the inevitable deluge of other games out there.
