ChatGPT provides real utility for me. Some examples:

1. Drafting directional copy I can give to a real copywriter to create something we'd all be happy presenting to users.

2. Act as a sounding board for peer-personnel issues I'm dealing with at work.

3. "Dumb down" concepts in academic journals/articles such that I can make sense of them.

4. Just today it helped me build an app to drill a specific set of chord shapes/inversions on the guitar that I've been struggling with (programming has always been a very casual hobby and, consequently, I'm not very good at it).

And evidently the employees have reacted as they likely would. The two points given sound like mundane corporate mess ups that are hardly worth firing the CEO in such a drastic fashion.
It looks nice but if it boots you should have bought a lottery ticket instead.
Pretty sure they can when it comes to much older cards and those Turing+. I think there's a weird time in between uhmm generations (like Maxwell maybe) in which it's not possible. I don't think it's possible with my 960M for example, although I might be wrong.

You're right. This is why we don't want a completely _free_ market, we want a _competitive_ market that has actors to prevent and punish fraud and abuse.
I don't think relying on a proprietary license to make sure enemies can't get AI for nukes is a sane security model. Something else needs to give.

I remember some years ago, when I had an android phone and was using Firefox on it, Google Images would render differently on Chrome and Firefox. On Chrome, I could long press to get the context menu to download an image. If I did the same in Firefox however, an obnoxious transparent box would block the image and force me to go to source site before I could download it.

Open AI’s Sam Altman Hired by Microsoft.
And much more in today’s Programming News Shorts Stories.
Oh, I don’t know, when most adults are so inexperienced, they’re typically timid before committing monumental and irrevocable acts. I mean, granted, given the strength of his aptitudes, perhaps he’s not as well rounded, with narrower range of life experiences. Still, the red flags would be hard to ignore. Was this like a Milgram conformance to authority situation? Either way, there were so many people on and off the board, and allowed to dwindle to the point that a quorum was a mere 4 people. They treated it like a toothless advisory board. It’s like letting your kids babysit themselves in an armory.
Here’s a tweet from Evan Morikawa, who’s been reporting numbers throughout the day.

Filing a lawsuit so quickly is a clear indication Musk is using his money and the courts as a weapon. He wants to send a message to the world that if anyone does something he doesn't like, he's prepared to make them suffer; at a minimum to suffer the pain of the cost and time defending a lawsuit.

The merits of the lawsuit are irrelevant to him. It's not as though he is worried that he may have to pay some money later in the event any such lawsuits are deemed to have been frivolous. He can afford it. His goal is to threaten and intimidate the world with the lawsuits his wealth permits him to file.
OpenAI board approached Anthropic about merger
The “ideal” of free speech would uphold everyone being able to speak in whatever manner they choose. If you’re an economic loser as a result, that is not a failure of free speech, that is a failure of society to protect you from free speech.

You’ve inadvertently stumbled on the exact reason that “free speech absolutism” is absolutely asinine nonsense (Musk’s incoherent/idiotic implementation aside), and why some speech restrictions should at least be discussed, even outside of a US/First Amendment context.
Does it matter? The start of the article is talking about reporting stuff _to their employer_, not e.g. a government watchdog or something.

> 53% of software engineers have suspected wrongdoing at work with ~145,000 software engineers in the UK having experienced retaliation the last time they reported it _to their employers_. (emphasis mine)

If your company is silently setting the policy that _internal communication_ raising that something bad is going on will be punished, then you're creating an environment where all of these will flourish.

Even if the reporter is mistaken about whether something is illegal, or holds a moral view which is not shared by most of upper management, the responsible response is still, "thanks for raising this to our attention; we'll have someone appropriately unrelated to the complaint look into it." If your response is "telling us about bad stuff will be punished" then obviously when something bad occurs that you'd actually want to stop (e.g. b/c it will create legal liabilities, damage the brand, etc), you'll learn about it too late.

Even the framing of high rates of "retaliation" sort of presumes that _reporting something wrong_ internally is a hostile action, which is already toxic and dangerous.
I bet the internal emails would be infinitely more valuable than design docs. let's see what the last link on the chain (of responsibility) actually said when they were told MCAS wasn't working. Let's hear how they worded the spin on the first batch of ~150 deaths to do damage control, and then how they reacted to the next. I'd fire up my popcorn maker for that!

What money do the independent board directors stand to gain? They have no equity in the company and their resumes have more than enough employable credentials (before this past Friday) to warrant not caring for money.

I was in that boat. But after a while I realized I could no longer in good conscience give Google any more money when they were pushing so many initiatives that went against my interests.
They're not rich. There's no fixed 30 year mortgage in Canada, only 5 year fixed. They're screwed. They're middle class, anxiously looking at the interest rates and holding on to jobs they hate to stay afloat.

Canada is a slowly failing state. Its economy is gutted and distorted. Renters in Canada aren't middle class. They're poor: its just that the country has become poor.
If I'm an advertiser, why would I want to be paying for my ads to appear to unauthentic users?

That makes a lot of sense, I've had the thought a few times that the NOTIFY overhead could get overwhelming in a high-throughput queue but haven't yet had an opportunity to verify this or experiment with a mechanism for reducing this overhead.
Nobody who own just their own single family home is rich.

The opposite might be true though - somebody who doesn't own their own home might be poor.
Yes these people should all be doing more to feed internet drama! If they don't act soon, HN will have all sorts of wild opinions about what's going on and we can't have that!

Even worse, if we don't have near constant updates, we might realize this is not all that important in the end and move on to other news items!

I know, I know, I shouldn't jest when this could have grave consequences like changing which uri your api endpoint is pointing to.
They would have just forked the code and maybe merged some changes back and forth, no real need for cross-platform code.
Off topic, but that website was quite unusual.

Judging by the title, I was expecting an article about perennial plants with elongated stems or trunks that usually support branches and leaves. Instead, I was met with a series of code blocks, briefly making me wonder if the piece was discussing a novel data structure based on traditional trees. After a few moments, the code blocks were either substituted or supplemented with the actual page content, reminiscent of Jupyter Notebooks. After about 10 seconds, it became unclear whether all the content had fully loaded.

Not the most user-friendly experience, in my opinion.
I'm 36. Fully agree with your comment and the above as well.

Resigned 6 years ago due to differences at the top after 10 yrs building.

A bad guy was treating everyone poorly. Ranged from rage beratements to gross narcissistic manipulation aimed at gaining control over decent human beings.

Tried to press top guys to allign and confront to protect my team and others. Made very obvious business sense as well ofc. They refused. Too risky... Too much trouble.

Walked away from the best money I ever made. Would do it again. I'm not gonna watch people be mistreated. Also it's bad business, I was exhausted playing solo defense and after management failed to make moves I fully became convinced that every person should hit the job market for mental health reasons alone.

5 years on, the other guy besides me slated for c suite left as well. He helped at first then balked when the going got tough. Now the two partners have gotten in a dispute about succession planning and I expect everyone to be unemployed potentially within the next 3 months.

There's no money I would take to work there again or anywhere else where that kind of toxicity is present. The only worthy cause there became to confront the toxicity. Without the right allies though... The biggest thing I could do was just resign. 6 years later one partner realized I was right and he should have backed me.

After a certain point... Money doesn't matter. Given the 900k avg salary in that outfit... I have to assume they are overwhelmingly beyond that threshold. Furthermore all evidence to me indicates that Altman personally looks for folks who can get money, but care much more about other factors... He is wise to do that. Hard to find those folks, but worth it every time imo.

I respect both of y'alls experiance btw. I saw this confused cynical misunderstanding re salary expressed all over the comments for this story as it's unfolded since Friday. I consider it a full misread built largely from folks getting mistreated/burned by the many fools throughout practically every industry who fail to realize before returning to the ground that money doesn't really buy happiness... Probably never will.

I'm sure many others agree.
Nice!

A few years ago I wrote my own in house distributed job queue and scheduler in Go on top of Postgres and would have been very happy if a library like this had existed before.

The two really are a great pair for this usecase for most small to medium scaled applications, and it's awesome to see someone putting a library out there publicly doing it - great job!!
Perhaps this works a lot of us up because we have to be consummate professionals our whole lives, carefully working over the consequences of all the choices we make on the behalf of our employers, sitting in hour-long meetings about thousand dollar decisions while billion dollar bozos can do whatever they want with no forethought and never see a consequence.
If the FDA didn't exist, how many more harmful drugs would there be? Would those harmful drugs that had approval retracted still be out there being prescribed?

This is likely one of those "never done" projects.
Yeah but in this complex way that really glosses over what's going on here.

Plus, sometimes the corrections aren't accurate. So of course if you tell it where it's wrong, and it gets a second chance, the error rate will be less...
In the crab bucket promulgated by our Wall Street puppetmasters: yes, obviously. Get a reverse mortgage to take care of number one, and let your spoiled kids fend for themselves against the banks. That's been the goal of every generation since the dawn of man, right?
These are the same guys that encourage their employees to own guns and not tell anyone they work for them. I kind of expected their response to be "over my dead body" than anything reasonable.
At the time, Lotus was a good company in great shape. The management could have hired people to get stuff done. In hindsight, sure, we can be judgmental, but it is still a failure in my view.

For a company selling licenses for installations, wouldn't having support for all available and upcoming platforms a good thing? Especially when the distribution costs are essentially 0?
Except they aren’t. They’ve just managed to keep up with the (real) rate of inflation. You’re not rich if your pay went from $7/hr to $10/hr but gas went from $3 to $4. You’re still in the same situation, if not a bit worse off.

TinaCMS/Tinasaurus was nearly a perfect fit for a docs project for the editing interface/APIs but the backend license was an implementation blocker. This is awesome to see even if it's a month and a half late for my purposes, and I hope it's still around the next time we're evaluating.
Agreed. We can't even collectively agree on how or who might pay for the reduction in atmospheric CO2 here on earth (hell, we can't even agree on the need to do so). That cost and impact on the global economy of doing that is a drop in the ocean compared to what would be required to terraform another planet.

Trading bots obviously exist. Can you build one that scales profits infinitely (as suggested above)? I would be very, very skeptical that is even possible. At some scale, trading edges stop working simply because market efficiencies kick in. Could you make a bunch of money in the market with an AGI? Possibly. Could you wreck the financial system because the AGI figures out some trading strategy? I have serious doubts.
With the rate employees are ditching they may well see that factor of 10% as some upper bound or a goal to strive for.
i usually see this as "<journalist> confirmed the source's authenticity", or some variation. the difference between that familiar phrasing and the one here was enough to grab my attention. that the journalist knows (currently) the source's "identity" is not the part a reader cares about: that the journalist confirmed (past tense) the "authenticity" of the information they're reporting is. most probably i read too much into the variation of phrasing here: editor's acting under time pressures, and all that.

I'd like to have life sized cities in games. All too often they're not actually to scale.
Yes, but that doesn't make it any more ethical especially since most layoffs over the past year aren't merit-based at all.
Thank you. Several of those seem less like ads placed against any specific post, but instead alongside in a stream of posts.
Some people are inexperienced and/or naturally trusting. HR always talks sweet and acts like they're the good guys here to help you. They wouldn't do this unless some people were going to fall for it.
Even my iPad has horrible background drain. My iPhone is the only device I have that I can calmly leave at 15% when I go to bed and know my alarm will still work in the morning.
It's funny, in a sad way, that you think corporations will hold up their end of the "bargain". Can't remember which Youtube video I was watching, but this stuck out: "The irony that we're automating the production of art instead of the jobs everybody hates shouldn't be lost on us."
yes.. because you can take a second mortgage on your home.. you can save into the mortgage instead of saving into an investment account. Talk to an advisor and they can tell you how you can convert an asset into money you can spend.
> I apply for hundreds and get literally 0 calls back

You can’t meaningfully apply for hundreds of jobs. Apply to 3 or 4 and spend 10x longer on each application. Email the recruiter telling them why you are interested and a good fit, tailor your resume to each one.

I’ve sat on plenty of hiring calls and in my personal experience there are just too many candidates applying with the completely wrong credentials or background using LinkedIn “easy apply” or the equivalent. Nearly all of those just basically get “easy rejected” on our first pass through candidates.
I fly on Frontier all the time, and while I do hate all of their upselling during the checkout process, my flight does end up being significantly cheaper than any other option.

In this case, I searched for a flight to Atlanta - Frontier was $49, Delta was $250. After going through the checkout process, I paid exactly $49 for my Frontier flight. I need to add a checked bag, which it looks like they charge $50 for, but $99 is still << $250.

When I lived out of state, I'd go up to visit family for the weekend with just a laptop and 2 changes of clothing. The dirt cheap budget flight options were amazing.
It may be useful to separate fact and ideology here. I.e.:

(1) Does such a dynamic exist?

(2) If so, what's the right way to deal with that fact during hiring?

It's harder to have a meaningful discussion if those two things are conflated.
> I think sometimes we forget how fuzzy language is.

I'm willing to bet a reasonable sum of money that the folks that designed the dark pattern didn't forget how fuzzy language is. In my opinion, the entire spirit of the design of the dark pattern is in fact the complete opposite: to exploit the fact that language is fuzzy in an extremely targeted fashion with the express purpose of extracting as much revenue as is pragmatically possible from the customer.
Certainly invites a Streisand Effect.

Can you expand on the "Canada is a slowly failing state" bit? It's an idea I've seen a lot in the past years but I don't fully get it, as a Canadian. How is Canada failing more than the US or European countries like Germany or UK for example?
How does that work? Do they have the same the same PM, requirements? Is it just different tech / achitectures adopted by different teams. Fascinating
I understand, but consider most recruiters as individuals who may not fully grasp the company's actual needs. Their primary aim is to find a reason to hire you, and as long as you perform well, they get paid.

Another important aspect is building connections with people who share your mindset. This can be immensely helpful when seeking a job that aligns more closely with your values.

There is not a secret to this, keep on searching and don't loose your ethics values, some people will find that more valuable than your knowledge

OpenAI was planning to add more members to the board. Meanwhile Sam and GDB are fully productizing the company, even training GPT5. The safety group has been increasingly concerned and feels the non-profit charter has been slowly losing over it its $ minded startup side. They see the writing on the wall, as most employees care about those sweet $ ppu’s, and decide they have a last ditch effort, maybe 25% chance, of averting this successfully. They feel they have to do it otherwise the company will just be Microsoft accelerating GPT development into our oblivion. They aren’t quite successful.

Remember, this company was founded, 8 years ago, with Sama writing “Why You Should Fear Machine Intelligence.”

Although vaguely possible, there’s something else to the story as Emmett Shear said “The board did not remove Sam over any specific disagreement on safety, their reasoning was completely different from that.”

Question on the "Batching memory-bound processes on a GPU" section - it says "This enables us to reuse parts of the model that we’ve already loaded into the GPU’s SRAM", but the 10 GB we are loading is into the HBM, right? How did we overcome the HBM <-> SRAM bottleneck?

More generally, how can we find out the size of the SRAM?
Most of the devices that allow charge limiting don't have battery cutoff anyway, so you're discharging to 79% and charging to 80 over and over again. I've observed that in my ThinkPad. Fretting over ultimate lifespan doesn't seem worth it, especially at the wild charge rates devices have now.
The Old Testament has a lot on this theme, so I don't think it's a new problem.
You asked a question, I gave you my answer. If you think the ability to tailor advertising and social media content to the individual isn't a massive game changer then that's fine by me but I think that it is. You could probably get people to vote exactly for the division of candidates that you would like them to vote for by creating tailor made bubbles complete with online friends and other artificial entities that nudged a person towards a certain position.
> you would be disregarding their very real concerns, especially when they would have been right about them.

Which TSA concerns were they right about and what dates?

Matching pictures doesn't indicate a person smuggling items onboard, and the hijack avenue ended on 9-12 when in-flight procedures changed. Ramp workers and flight crew, and even TSA, go around the TSA screening and can smuggle anything that somebody holding their family hostage at home tells them to carry.
