I recently flew Flair and it was a regular experience. I did find that the booking process did seem to have some "black patterns", mainly that things would be checked off when I had indicated I didn't want them previously. For example, we were just flying with a single checked bag for a family of 5. The first option is to add a checked bag for EVERY passenger and no option for just one. Then at other times during the booking process, bags would be added and price would change. It was only later in the process that I was able to add a single bag.

It was worth the few thousand in difference, however our flights all left on time and we had no delays, so I might be singing a different tune if we had sat and waiting long. One thing I wish I knew is that they charge for everything, including water and coffee.

No, that's backwards. Remember that these guys are all convinced that AI is too dangerous to be made public at all. The whole beef that led to them blowing up the company was feeling like OpenAI was productizing and making it available too fast. If that's your concern then you neither open source your work nor make it available via an API, you just sit on it and release papers.

Not coincidentally, exactly what Google Brain, DeepMind, FAIR etc were doing up until OpenAI decided to ignore that trust-like agreement and let people use it.
I think without looking at the contracts, we don't really know. Given this is all based on transformers from Google though, I am pretty sure MSFT with the right team could build a better LLM.

Do you have any data on the costs? I can't find it now, but I remember seeing an estimate at around $5 per IoT device, which for some devices might double the cost but for others could easily pay for itself in delicious, nourishing data that can be used or sold for other things. I'd really love that number to be way lower than reality though.
You're right, there actually are more. Interesting, I "feel" the opposite.

Not sure if that's fake or what, but it's pretty well established that the actual line is "No, I am your father". Even Lucasfilm acknowledge this, so if you want to argue that everybody else is wrong, I hope you have some serious evidence to back that up.

But ironically, the line is often misquoted: “Luke, I am your father.” In fact, Vader responds to Luke’s claim that he’d killed the young man’s father. “No,” the villain says, “I am your father.”

Yeah. Gas giant = lots and lots of hydrogen. Hit hydrogen hard enough and you can initiate a fusion burn--and while the fusion burn in the sun's core is peaceful enough it's very sensitive to temperature. Supply enough energy at one point and you can make it run fast--and propagate for a while. I rather think firing on a gas giant makes a mighty big boom--Yavin Prime, the rebel base and the Death Star would all die.

(Note that I'm talking energy densities far above a normal hydrogen bomb. The temperature/pressure required for a runaway fusion burn in deuterium-tritium is far below that required in plain old H-1.)

> Full employment means 100% of people eligible to work are working. (0% unemployment rate)

If you did a 30 second search you'd find that's not correct.

>Full employment is a situation in which there is no cyclical or deficient-demand unemployment.[1] Full employment does not entail the disappearance of all unemployment, as other kinds of unemployment, namely structural and frictional, may remain. [...]

>For the United States, economist William T. Dickens found that full-employment unemployment rate varied a lot over time but equaled about 5.5 percent of the civilian labor force during the 2000s.[5] Recently, economists have emphasized the idea that full employment represents a "range" of possible unemployment rates. For example, in 1999, in the United States, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) gives an estimate of the "full-employment unemployment rate" of 4 to 6.4%. This is the estimated unemployment rate at full employment, plus or minus the standard error of the estimate.[6]

It's unlikely that 5/7th of the employees of OpenAI have even had a real conversation with Sam Altman. That's a lot of fucking people, for a young and hyper-active company and a very busy CEO. Given that, I consider it unlikely that 5/7th of those employees would put their livelihood at risk to protect Sam.
I really liked 1899, but I think it had as good an ending as it was going to get. "Mystery box" shows never seem to end well. The resolution is always disappointing. The longer you drag a mystery out, either people figure it out, or it becomes incoherent.

It was some brilliant television, and I sure wouldn't have minded spending more time with it. But I think that its big ending was about as satisfying as you can possibly hope for.

For comparison I suggest their previous show, Dark. It was also beautifully shot (if less engagingly cosmopolitan). But it took them three seasons to tell a story that could have been compressed less confusingly into one. Too many characters, too sprawling a concept. Its ending was reasonably satisfying, but I felt confused most of the time and just didn't much care.

Anyway... agreed that 1899 was amazing TV, and Netflix sucks for canceling shows that are doing well. I've got a few real gripes myself. Maybe they had great places to take 1899, but I'm content with it as it was.
Popularity is a useful metric for ranking (if A is more popular than B it is more likely I’ll like A better than B than if it is the other way around.) but combining it with a relevance score can be tricky. (e.g. it is not so straightforward to incorporate PageRank into a web search engine and really get better results.)

The interesting thing I see in Feedly is it seems to have a broad categorization: you might get some topic like “American Football”. I think users will certainly feel more in control if they can pick topics like that.

YOShInOn does ingest categories that are supplied by the feeds. I’ve also thought about adding a query language inspired by OWL (contains word X or word Y and is not a member of category Z) but now when I want to do a query I hand code it. If there is ever a “YOshInOn Enterprise Edition” it will have some system for maintaining multiple categorizations so it will be able to put labels like “American Football” on.
Economic systems are educated not that differently from how psychotropic substance effects or sexual matters are often educated.
And by 20K/yr programmer he likely means more experienced. Programmers tend to interpret this 10X as rockstar extremely prolific code programmer. In my experience the 10X programmer doesn't do things that impede the group or has enough experience to reduce the solution space to something manageable. Writing code is only part of the equation. Getting to a solution that works well cuts the time and lays the ground work for iterations and improvements. People the spew code that generally works are not as helpful.

Why Dr. Gabor Maté Is Worse Than Wrong About ADHD [video]
Looks like it’s underway:

> We're hard at work on more advanced features including a self-hosted web interface. Sign up to get updates on our progress.
For context: Dr. Gabor Maté is a world-renowned medical doctor, who runs a family practice (as a GP) and a specialist in childhood development and trauma. He has written multiple best-selling books on the topic. However, his views on ADHD (first published in 1999 and recently resurfaced in multiple podcast interviews) are often disputed by experts on the subject.

Dr. Russell Barkley is a retired neuropsychologist and clinical professor of psychiatry specializing in ADHD. He is one of the world's leading experts on the subject. This is his video, debating/debunking Dr. Maté's claims about ADHD.

Has anyone found out what the "sizable number" actually looks like? Is it sizable as in "13% of devs, 35% in niche areas like HN, say they are against it wholesale" or sizable as in "3% of devs can make a lot of noise, especially in nice areas, when it's something they care about"? Even 0.1% of devs would be quite sizable by number but still irrelevant in context of why one group's opinion is like another.

Of those that don't ever intend to rely on something like copilot - is the majority because "I can code better without it in the current capabilities" or a principled matter about the technology wronging them in some way?

No, the point of OpenAI is to mitigate AI risk while promoting development of publicly beneficial AI.

It initially took the view that actual openness was the best route for that. It later took the view that openness was more dangerous than having the most advanced progress behind the walls of a benevolent gatekeeper.

The set of options it faces has changed, and its quite possible its view of the best option in the current context could change, again, because of that. (Also, who "OpenAI" is has changed over time, and changed rather radically recently, a process which almost certainly is not complete, which also can change decisions about the best way forward.)

> when they have far more money than they could ever need

There is a kind of brain rot that can set in on wealthy people that makes them see their net worth as their score. It's not about need or comfort. All that matters is hitting a higher score.
In principle, I agree with you.

I spent a lot of time thinking about this subject and it boils down to: I can try to do this in such a way that creates the best possible outcome or I can wait for someone else to do it in such a way that makes it worse for everyone.

Take something like https://writesonic.com/ as an example. It is backed by Y Combinator and claims to have 5M+ users using it to write articles. They do exactly what you described – they use your topic to generate an article cramming unreferenced/unattributed facts into whatever they claim to be "SEO optimized" article structure. In fact, one of the reasons for developing AIMD is because I saw a substantial uptick in copywriter submissions of what is very clearly Writesonic generated content. They don't care about factual accuracy or attribution.

In contrast, what I am building towards is a fact checked, properly referenced way of writing articles. Every borrowed fact, citation, quote, etc is properly attributed. You could obviously choose to remove those references, but part of what I want to achieve is educating that keeping those references actually increases the legitimacy of the content.

One way or another, a variation of this is going to dominate the vast majority of content writing. The best possible outcome is that someone creates tools that reward good behavior/good actors.

Roc isn't Elm. RF is one person in that community, and he said something he regretted 5 years ago and has since not repeated that mistake.

Do you know the moral dealings of every developer of every piece of technology you use?

When it comes to Roc and It's community..ask yourself.

“Am I sure that what I am going to say is true?”
“Is what I'm going to say a good thing?”,
and “Do I really need to say it and is it useful?”

Is that comment from 5 years ago really the most important thing about the Roc Programming language, that anyone reading the comments need to know? Is RF the reason you walked away from Elm?
Your comment has nothing to do with the conversation. The reason to have low latency when typing text is so you can correct mistakes. That requires the full response time. There's no moving or evolving shapes. Maybe proofread your own comments before throwing around accusations of "utter nonsense".

Which is to say, I think the fearmongering sentient AI stuff is silly -- but I think we are all DEFINITELY better off with an ugly rough-and-tumble visible rocky start to the AI revolution.

A lot of comments in here seem to be saying that "setenv is rarely used, so we can make setenv threadsafe even if it is costly", but I think that's missing the point.

The thread-safety is in the operators getenv/setenv (and putenv and unsetenv). Thread safety has to apply to all operators, and the functionality of getenv() (which is by far the most commonly used of these operators) is what has to be fixed.

You simply cannot make setenv() thread-safe so long as getenv() has its current interface. You need to make getenv() safe first; ideally with a getenv_r() call that fills in a user-supplied buffer. From that point making the rest of the calls thread safe is trivial.

Well you can't really.. If you're gonna use HTTP and expect a response, you're gonna be in for a fun ride. You'll have to go deal with timeout settings for:

- webservers
- application servers
- load balancers
- reverse proxy servers
- the cloud platform you're running on
- waf

>Very few are talking about Adam D'Angelo's insane conflicts of interest ... he had every incentive to get the org to reign in their commercialization efforts and to instead focus on research and safety initiatives

Given the original mission statement of OpenAI, is that really a conflict of interest?

Having said that, it's clear that the 'Open' in 'OpenAI' is at best a misnomer. OpenAI, today, is a standard commercial entity, with a non-profit vestigial organ that will now be excised.
Thanks for the clarification.

So just to spell it out: Domain-driven design (nor Data-driven development per the article title, nor Data-driven design) aren't programming paradigms, they are software design approaches.

Whereas Data-driven programming, as linked from the above wikipedia is infact a paradigm and something else entirely. Alright.

They have 'Data-oriented' listed in the wikipedia paradigm article, but it links to 'Data-oriented design' which is clarified as a software design paradigm, as distinct from a programming paradigm.
Consider that Altman was a founder of OpenAI and has been the only consistent member of the board for its entire run.

The board as currently constituted isn't some random group of people - Altman was (or should have been) involved in the selection of the current members. To extent that they're making bad decisions, he has to bear some responsibility for letting things get to where they are now.

And of course this is all assuming that Altman is "right" in this conflict, and that the board had no reason to oust him. That seems entirely plausible, but I wouldn't take it for granted either. It's clear by this flex that he holds great sway at MS and with OpenAI employees, but do they all know the full story either? I wouldn't count on it.
It's a great opening line.

So excited y'all created this. Through a few job changes I've been exposed to the most popular background job systems in Rails, Python, JS, etc, and have been shocked at how under appreciated their limitations are relative to what you get out of the box with relational systems. Often I see a lot of DIY add-ons to help close the gaps, but its a lot of work and often still missing tons of edge cases and useful functionality. I always felt going the other way, starting w/ a relational db where many of those needs are free, would make more sense for most start-ups, internal tooling, and smaller scale businesses.

Thank you for this work, I look forward to taking it for a (real) test drive!
