I'd be interested in the real reason Dario et al left to form Anthropic, it must clearly have been a misalignment with Altman's ambition. It seems likely that Altman is more of a Steve Jobs type, perhaps even better at politics, maneuvering and fund raising. He managed to get rid of Musk and turn a non-profit into a $90 billion company, very impressive indeed.

I for one would at least like it to be configurable as much as possible so I can pick if, say, I want my laptop to only stay on storage voltage when I keep it constantly plugged in, or say my phone shutting down at 15% instead because the morons designing it have glued in the battery, or alternatively allow going lower for a bit more damage if I'm lost in a forest and need every mW I can get before it dies. Call it consumer choice.

I'm so fucking tired of every affordable BMS on the market being hardwired to cut charge at 4.3 V
(beyond what the charger will even reach per cell, so you get no top balancing lmao) and allow going down to 2.5 V like bruh what are you even protecting at that point, staying at those extremes for any amount of time will destroy the battery anyway.

.NET 8 solves that exact problem as far as I can see. You can opt into auto mode and it uses server side Blazor until the client downloads all assets, then in subsequent visits it uses the WASM runtime. Seems to be a good compromise.

Successful CEO does successful CEO things. From another thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38360906
Here are some other counterarguments:

- Most formal drug research, today, is already not worthwhile. The norm is that you spend several billion dollars and recover nothing.

- Most achievements that were worthwhile in retrospect were not worthwhile prospectively. Therefore it is not obvious that things need to be worthwhile prospectively in order to be done. Going into a career as a rock star is, objectively, stupid. But we have a huge supply of wannabe rock stars anyway.

> But I know from officials at the World Federation of Hemophilia that the direct costs of production and administration for Hemgenix are around $50,000. That's two orders of magnitude less than the list price.

That doesn't account for the R&D effort which has to be recouped during the runtime of the patent. Depending on whom you ask, that can reach into billions of dollars [1], and there's just about 200k people diagnosed with some form of hemophilia of which only a fraction has the funds or the insurance to obtain that kind of treatment in the first place (both the current and the new one), so these few patients have to account for the R&D cost of the medication, the R&D cost of failed candidate substances, the R&D for ongoing other medication and profits. For "orphan diseases", these economies are a serious problem.

Pharmaceutical development is incredibly expensive; to make it worse a lot of governments have cut back drastically on fundamental R&D grants for universities and so private companies with their profit interests stepped in.

Hi, I'm one of the main devs. TLA+ is useful to prove properties of programs. By contrast, IDP-Z3 is a reasoning engine that can be used as a module in a program. It is closer to a constraint solver, but offers more functionality than a traditional CSP solver. For example, it can compute what are relevant questions, given some inputs. This is useful to build "interactive consultants".

For example, you give IDP-Z3 the formula that links a tax-free amount, a tax rate and a tax-included amount, and the values of any two of its parameters, and it will compute the missing parameter. You do not need to write 3 different formula, one for each case. If you give him only one parameter, it will say that the other two parameters are relevant.

I professionally saw the rise, the peak and the burn of Director (Shockwave), Flash and Silverlight...

By far, the most devastating one, was Flash.

One good thing came out of Silverlight, and it's not really getting the credit it deserves: MVVM.

As far as I know, Silverlight brought that pattern to light, before that, it was MVC and OO hell. And MVVM paved the way to modern paradigms, imho.
volume/kWh also matters for car use-cases (but especially for less high end cars not as much as kg/kWh)

$/kWh is mainly affected by: material cost, manufacturing cost, cost of safely using it (e.g. shielding but also e.g. fire insurances), replacement cost (lifetime, frequency of repairs, needs full replacement for repairs?, refurbish-ability etc.)

As far as I can tell the material and safety cost should be much and somewhat cheaper, the manufacturing cost is hard to say but initially is likely more expensive as it's a new process and the durability and refurbish-ability are probably major points which will decide weather it's competitive in the vehicle market or not.

>Why not build a digital audio player that has the cassette tape formfactor? Put whichever flash media directly into the cassette. Transmit audio over the cassette head like those old line-in to tape adapters. Use the wheels of the cassette to charge the device and control playback.

I've had a device like that for about 10-15 years. It did exactly that, except for charging (it had an internal USB-charged battery that lasted long enough to not care much about it).

Ultimately, I didn't use it for the same reason I haven't used an MP3 player in a long time: if I wanted to play MP3s, I already have a device in my pocket that does it better, and has a screen.

One of the appeals of the cassette and vinyl is the finiteness of it, and the idea of having a dedicated physical object for a particular piece of information. It's the idea of "I hold this thing to experince that sound".

To get that, one could simply distribute music on cassete-shaped MP3 players that only hold one album... but at that point, might as well do an actual cassette tape.

This could find a use for having entire compilations on a cassette; e.g. one magic cassete with all the albums by a particular band, or 12 hours of lofi chillhop to study to. But at that point, using your tape machine's controls to control playback becomes very tedious (do you really want to fast-forward through hours worth of audio, or hit the "next" button 236 times to get to the track you want?).

You can limit yourself to, say, only 90 minutes worth of audio per physical medium... at which point you're back to the original cassette.

Even my car's MP3 CD player doesn't run into the same problem, because its controls allow it to navigate folders: up/down scroll through folders, left/right scrolls throuh files.

I can comfortably click through 10-20 items (which is how many songs fit on a standard audio CD), so I can easily navigate through 10-20 albums with 10-20 songs on an MP3 CD - which is the entire capacity at reasonable compression levels.

Audio cassette players simply don't have enough buttons for that; so you're limited to about what the standard cassete can hold before you start putting things on a new cassette.

Quality-wise, there's no gain either.

But yeah, if you are so desperate to look cool while also going the extra mile to avoid being cool - sure, it would do the job.

A bluetooth cassette adapter seems like an easier solution though.

For what its worth, here's a thread from someone who used to work with Sam who says they found him deceptive and manipulative

https://twitter.com/geoffreyirving/status/172675427022402397...

I have no details of OpenAI's Board’s reasons for firing Sam, and I am conflicted (lead of Scalable Alignment at Google DeepMind). But there is a large, very loud pile on vs. people I respect, in particular Helen Toner and Ilya Sutskever, so I feel compelled to say a few things.

...

Third, my prior is strongly against Sam after working for him for two years at OpenAI:

1. He was always nice to me.

2. He lied to me on various occasions

3. He was deceptive, manipulative, and worse to others, including my close friends (again, only nice to me, for reasons)
I know this dude.... he's a Meth Head and a Genius.
Blazor Server isn't inherently latency riddled. Blazor Wasm isn't necessarily slow to initial load with
.NET 8. IIRC the compiler is also really good at trimming the Wasm bundle when publishing in Release mode.

The neat thing about the new stuff in .NET 8 is that you can choose the interactivity at the component level, so if some component really sucks when used with Server interactivity, you can take the extra time to convert it to Wasm w/ some backend API.

You should also ask your shoulder demon much would even be interactive in the first place. SSR'd pages with forms can get you very far.

They have a team of 10K+ developers but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to make great software. I think you need to remember they take their time to release things and don’t rush. So maybe the software you use today was 3 years in the making.

You don’t need pixel perfect software, it’s all about how it works and the problems it solves for the end customer.
Like the article said, this is particularly bad considering how much they hyped up this feature. I first heard about it through MKBHD’s YouTube channel, in a video with almost 3M views. And they couldn’t even bother to validate that basic security measures had been implemented? Or maybe they just flat out didn’t care and thought nobody would notice, which might be even worse. I viewed Nothing as just an overhyped “Android phone but with lights on the back” but this has shown they’re a bit worse than that.

You might be confusing it with another part of ASP.NET Core like web APIs, which are generally super fast. Performance has never been a strong point for Blazor, except for the recent AOT support which has its own issues.

This is exactly it, and it's astounding that so many people are going in other directions. Either this is true, and Altman has been a naughty boy, or it's false, and the board are lying about him. Either would be the starting point for understanding the whole situation.

So you think parents should not know and should not care whether their children will have an incurable disease?

According to Wiki: "Sickle cell disease occurs when a person inherits two abnormal copies of the β-globin gene (HBB) that makes haemoglobin, one from each parent". So basically this disease is encoded in DNA and it can be predicted whether future child will inherit it. Mandatory DNA screening could result in zero people having this disease (and other expensive to treat or incurable diseases). There will be no need to spend large money researching it, and those money can be used for more important non-genetic diseases.

Of course, religious people would be against this but we as a society should rely on science, not on blind faith.

I hope we eventually get .NET support for FreeBSD
> In my previous job, I was on a team using Vue.js for the frontend and ASP.NET Core for the backend. I quickly got tired of the internal plumbing, package management, build configuration, and all the other things not related to the actual functionality of the app that Vue (v2) required at the time.

Oh, hey, I have something relevant to say about this setup. Currently I'm bootstrapping a platform with .NET Core on the back end and Vue 3 on the front end.

In short:

- .NET is one of those boring workhorse choices, like Java - it's pretty stable, the performance is good, the type system is decent, IDEs are as good as it gets (Rider, VS), can run on Windows or Linux with no issues, there is an ecosystem that feels very coherent (more focus on ASP.NET than something like Spring in Java, because there's fragmentation around that, Dropwizard, Quarkus, VertX and so on)
- Vue feels really nice to work with, the Composition API feels simpler than React, the developer ergonomics are fine, the documentation is nice, packages like Pinia, VueUse and VueRequest keep things simple, in addition to something like PrimeVue giving lots of UI components that you can use to iterate out of the box
- however, while I think that the SPA approach can be nice to keep the front end separate from whatever technology you use on the back end, it comes at a cost of duplicating your data model and the interfaces between them (REST endpoint and client, for example), in addition to needing to think about how to deploy it all (separate domains vs context paths on the same domain, CSP, CORS etc.), though it's mostly doable
- I did definitely run into problems with Vue not being the single most popular choice out there, for example I wanted to integrate Mapbox maps and the VueMapbox package is for Vue 2 only, whereas Vue 3 Mapbox GL breaks when you try to integrate it with mapbox-gl-directions. Eventually I switched over to Vue Map (Leaflet based) with leaflet-control-geocoder and leaflet-routing-machine but even those tended to break, because adding markers for a calculated route makes the map break when you zoom in/out, due to it losing a reference to the map JS object; in the end I just used patch-package to fix a few lines of code that didn't work in the offending packages instead of forking/building them myself, but that's a bit of a dirty hack

In short, I think that .NET is pretty good, Vue is pretty good, but the JS ecosystem feels like it works well only sometimes, even for reasonably popular solutions. On that note, I'm all for trying out things like Blazor, but then again my past experiences with Java and something like JSP/JSF/PrimeFaces/Vaadin have soured my perspective a bit (which is also why I prefer to keep the front end decoupled from the back end as much as possible, sometimes to my own dismay).

Honestly, it sometimes feels like picking anything that's not React is shooting yourself in the foot because everyone's building their libraries/packages/integrations for React. At the same time, I don't really enjoy React much at all.
