If advertising was reasonable, I would agree with you. A static image in a 90s-style top banner or sidebar is not too awful.

But advertisers don't stop there. Distracting animations, flyovers which block the page content, tiny impossible buttons to close such flyovers, malicious crap which tries to trick you by looking like an OS window, downloaded apps which full your OS with junk, auto-play audio and videos, cross-site tracking of your personal life and building a "profile" on you to target ads which appeal to your innermost desires or problems or vulnerabilities.

Give an inch and advertisers take 100 miles and then take some more.

Fuck ads and fuck companies whose business model is based on advertising. I'd rather they just vanished off the internet.

You obviously haven't been on Tumblr lately where there is a giant objectum culture and love all things electric. Pylons are the rulers of dreams over there, entire blogs devoted to their beauty. The inherent eroticism of the machine and the like.

There's nothing there I can see in the NT park rules that precludes digging or building a fort.

Around the world some place back onto national parks, other places have large areas of undeveloped land that aren't national parks (cattle stations, community land, etc).

The video I linked is representative of the kind of ocean land I grew up on and still live near part time - it's a good place to raise children, plenty to do.
Well, there's cargo, and there's also waves, wind, and whatever it might bump in to.
Last week I was the intern. This weekend I'm the VP of infrastructure
That's another challenge for parents. Books are expensive and take up space. Lego and various other toys are also expensive, take up space, and children constantly need reminders to pack it up. Arts and craft quickly dominate spaces and lead to disputes over which child made all the mess. Contrast with reading on an app like Libby (free, no bookshelves), playing Minecraft (cheap, no pack-up), or digital art/puzzles.

Digital equivalents are pushed in every workspace. Scrawling unnecessarily on paper would be frowned on as wasteful in the average office. Sending a paper letter instead of an email is rare.

I'm not arguing that there aren't advantages of physical books, board games, and literal painting, but doing things the "right way" is clearly more expensive, less space efficient, and uses up more time packing up. It all influences parenting decisions.
absolutely impressive!

How can anything aim with such precision?

I'll save you some time. There's four ways, in order:

1. write an open source side-project

2. start a company

3. join a startup as one of the first employees

4. become the best employee and prove yourself over the years at some corporation, and they might let you participate when/if a green new project comes up
So you're a scientist when it's your work, but you just take any authoritative body's word for it without any proof. This is the very nature of everything wrong with science in its current state.
I don't think he's critical but that's not really the point. His unexpected and apparently unnecessary firing has demonstrated that OpenAI is a weirder organization than most people realized. It's corporate structure, the makeup of the board, the various dealings is now suddenly under the spotlight.

If anyone else was CEO of OpenAI and had been fired like this, the discussion would be almost the same.

It’s something that comes along with things like ADHD (that’s where I experience it). It just makes tackling sometimes simple seeming things feel insurmountable. It’s not a constant, and it effects everyone who experiences it differently. For me, self-care in some regards feels like an uphill battle (particularly maintaining dental hygiene and exercise - yaaaaay!). There are things I can do to make those things more accessible and “doable”, yet forming a routine and sticking to it is haaaaaaaard.

And I appreciate your response - the invalidating part was just that it’s “easy” to start a running routine with just shoes and shorts. It probably is for most people, and for me the shoes would sit there as a reminder of an investment in myself that I can not seem bring myself to take advantage of more than once or twice a year.

Imagine how that feels for the tens of thousands of MS employees laid off recently. "Had to be done", according to 2.7T$ company.

Followed by: "Hey guys, we don't know exactly what you do but do join us by the several hundreds and don't you worry about compensation, we pretty much have unlimited money to throw at this."

And then they say people are too cynical of tech.

If they strongly believe in what they're saying, they should come forward. If you hide behind an pseudonym, credibility takes a big hit. It's not like we're under a dictatorship and they're going to disappear if they do so.

You have almost every single employee vouching for Sam, people outside the company vouching for him, an anon letter is paper thin as far credibility goes.

And ofc, any employee that got pushed out is going to have an axe to grind. Losing out on 900k+/year has to sting. At that compensation and in a startup, performance, disagreeing and comitting are key to the success of the venture. You should expect attrition to be high (though how did author of the letter get to 50%? who knows)

The board is hiding, one of which has a direct competitor to a recently launched product so obv. conflict of interest, the employees are calling bs, Ilya himself turned, etc. This is just stupid.

Some others have put this perfectly, given what has transpired so far, how do they expect to align an agi? You'd expect resignations based on that alone.
> I don't follow trends for electrical lines, but directional drilling/boring is definitely a thing for fiber optic communications cabling,

I run electrical work and sometimes use directional boring to run underground conduits, it really depends on the pathway your conduit is taking. It boils down to whichever costs less, digging and restoring two pits and directional boring, or ripping up and restoring a surface so you can trench and backfill. If it’s all green space, plowing/trenching wins every time. Once you start crossing sidewalks and driveways and so on, directional boring tends to be cheaper.

I have for some time planning to do a 'Wikipedia for AI' (even bought a domain), where people could contribute all sorts of these skills ( not only 3d video, but also manual skills, or anything).

Saved you a click: it’s from a human made craft, roughly 40x Earth-moon distances away.

They expect to reach bandwidths 10-100x what is currently possible with radio waves. However, it requires very precise alignment, and more importantly, requires taking into account the relative movement of the sender and receiver.

This craft is headed further away up to where they expect the communication delay to be around 20 minutes, up from the current 50 seconds.

They don’t make syntax error, but they also don’t complaint if something is out of place. Says, you manipulated the blocks and one was popped out, the program will still run but don’t work correctly. When there are a number of blocks, it could be quite hard to spot because the blocks can overlap each other. Then there is also a problem with forgetting arguments for a block. Still runs but don’t work.

Visual programming is definitely better for kids, but I think it requires a more strict approach and a better debugging ability than Scratch.
Yea, but most want it for free and without ads. Lets hope they provide that.
I don't really buy it. It's not like capitalism is something new in the US. Blaming the change on something that's always been there is not really a good argument.

What's your explanation for how it jumped straight to #5, skipping every intervening slot from #6 through #30?

I liked bzr because it had simple to understand “versions” I could abuse to use like a single source of truth. Git requires manually applying tags to imitate it.
I mean, the web only started "depending" on advertising when corporations started believing they need to exploit the web (and all its users) as their next source of profit. I've built literally hundreds of websites and not a single one relied on nor necessitated advertising. They are all still running just fine (barring ones that have of course been rebuilt/replaced since the version(s) I worked on).
What is "the pulse of the company"? Is having a bunch of meeting with people possibly multiple levels below you keeping a pulse on the business, or is it micromanaging, or focusing on an area you understand because it's easier than spending that time on an area which you understand less?

I think aCEO should have people that work under them that can actually perform the duties they were hired for. Spot checking department and employees to make sure what's being reported to the CEO is accurate is probably a very good idea, but if the CEO is spending a bunch of time in meetings with people that they've already hired others to manage, that either shows there's a severe problem in that department that requires the CEO's constant attention, or a lack of trust in the people they hired to run that department to actually do what they were hired for. Neither are signs of what you'd want to see, IMO.

According to the 2021 Census, 656,272 Indian British live in London. Hounslow total population is 288,200, 21% of them Indian or around 60,000.

Well, they were employees, after all. Temporary ones. Very temporary ones.
The explanation is the same: the software works that way sometimes. It's not so uncommon. If you haven't noticed it before, that may be because you weren't as interested in those other stories as you are in this one.

It happens particularly when an article contains sensational content that attracts a rush of quick upvotes, and then other readers see it on the front page, have a "WTF?" reaction, and flag it.

> even python might be too far from the CPU to be a good introduction to computing

That depends on what one considers to be the best way to introduce computing. I personally think kids are a lot less likely to be engaged by a bottom-up approach (start with "this is what hardware does") than a top-down approach (start with "you can make cool things with it").

Not bad if you have a junior that knows they are a junior, bad otherwise.

My pet peeve with bitbucket was that when doing code review, you couldn't send all comments and overall review in a batch, every single comment was received in real time by the author. Sometimes I would be still reviewing code when the author pushed fixes to comments I've made before and that still might need other changes. After 15 years they improved that 2 weeks ago. I'm glad it's better, but I hate it with a burning passion.

I disagree. All technological development changes human societies and imposes its rules upon them and rules over them, not the other way around. The combination of technology and human nature is an unstoppable deterministic force, one whose effects are so easily predicted when traced from… invention of cannons (?) in hindsight. No modern (organization-dependent) technology should have ever been developed. The people lived happier, more mentally healthy and more fulfilling lives despite living in worse material conditions and the lifespan isn’t that bad when you factor out child mortality anyway. Turns out human brain can (actually even designed to) easily deal with bad material conditions if it’s not messed up with thousand addictions, mouthbreathing, sedentary life and smartphones.

This whole saga has helped me see how rumors grow. (And I know you used the word allegedly, but still.) First it was Ilya who was the ringleader. Now it is Adam. There has been a small amount of new information (Ilya seems to have backtracked), but there is no real information to suggest Adam was a ring leader. It is the pure speculation of people trying to make sense of the whole thing.
Buggy firmware could also screw that up.
I believe people are flagging it because it is not apparent that it is actually from anyone at OpenAI. Not that it couldn’t be, but there are reasons to be suspicious.

Welcome to the "How much energy am I using right now club?"! Now how much is this one light bulb itself consuming I wonder? ;)

I'm clocking 2 1/2 years experience with my 12.5 Kw solar glass and 27 Kw of powerwalls. Multiple electric vehicles including all yard tools, pure torque without any power loss, I have never in my life cut the grass so fast! Look ma, no gas!

Your closing line absolutely nails my thinking which is supported by good ol Lorde Kelvin, one can only improve what one measures and an extreme few know how much electricity they use. Try it yourself, ask anyone you know how much electricity they use monthly and 99 to 1 they answer in a monetary number.

Education solves ignorance and the mountain ahead is massive.

> The board being quiet, in my opinion, is not doing them any favors!

The board being quiet is adult behaviour. Release a discreet and generic press release then direct all further enquiries to the lawyers. That's how things should be done.

The frenzy of reporting and contradictory articles and froth and spin that's coming from the other side makes them look deranged, IMHO. It's incredibly childish and just makes it look like they have tentacles everywhere that they can drag these weird articles out of so many different outlets. It's not a good look unless you're really trying to look like HYDRA.

I think from a game design standpoint there will be times when the game will intentionally set things up so the player will see the moon (e.g., meet someone here, cutscenes plays, player is now at a stakeout with the moon in the background), making the moon adjustable allows the artists to make their decision without needing to bother the programmer, especially if the cutscenes and camera framing aren't done yet.
