I thought your question was simply rhetoric. I didn't realize how confused you were.

To answer: if there's an article about tomato slices and someone goes on a rant about hamburgers (tomato slices being a small part of the whole) it's not clear or "obvious" that they read or understood the article.

You haven't answered my question, do you consider server-side-rendered components "frontend?" They are "directly associated with rendering and processing on the browser." (Even if they aren't rehydrated.)
She has a mandate not to promote Anthropic on the back of OpenAI. Very unprofessional
>Ms. Toner disagreed. The board’s mission is to ensure that the company creates artificial intelligence that “benefits all of humanity,” and if the company was destroyed, she said, that mission would be fulfilled.

Doesn’t this sound like Toner herself is playing god? That is, only she is the gatekeeper of humanity and only she knows what is good for the entire humanity, when many of us believe that OpenAI’s tech is perfectly safe and amazingly beneficial?
The CEO is generally accountable to the board. A CEO trying to silence criticism and oust critical board members may be typical behaviour in the world of megalomaniacal tech startup CEOs, but it is not generally considered good corporate governance. (And usually the megalomaniacal tech startup CEOs have equity to back it up.)
Well, he signed up for exactly that outcome with full knowledge it could happen.
Outing a psychiatrist's internet ramblings to his patients is not high on my list of journalistic crimes.
Yeah, but its difficult to write a SIMD / AVX512 routine if things aren't in SOA format.

I can see how this approach described is "vector-like", even if the vector is this... imaginary unit that's parallelizing over the branch predictor instead of an explicit SIMD-code.

This "vector" organization probably has 99.999%+ branch prediction or something, effectively parallelizing the concept. But not in the SIMD-way. So still useful, but not what I thought originally based on the title.
Best theory I've heard is that the board sought to distance themselves from Sam because they got advance warning of the big copyright infringement lawsuit that just dropped today.

In other words, what if they knew the suit was coming and sought to make Sam the fall guy by firing him sort-of-for-cause ... but they're stuck, because they can't explain what the cause reason was, without admitting the board was aware of the misconduct.

Yes, but why roll out a capacity bursting feature in the midst of a crisis.

Surely the priority is stability.

The incompetence is unrelenting.
Skilled journalists (and this piece was written by skilled journalists) would not use the three members of the board as their only three sources.

A big part of this kind of journalism is taking information from sources, considering the potential bias of each source and carefully correlating it with information from other sources before publishing it.

That bit specifically says:

"After they failed, they gave up and departed, according to three people familiar with the attempt to push Mr. Altman out."

My guess is that at least one of those people comes from the Anthropic side, who would be someone with a clear insight into what happened.
Is Helen associated with Anthropic?
> the CEO had the vision and the personality to lead the company

How did you know? I ask because most people in a position to know would also be part of the middle that you are blaming for the company's dysfunction.
How long until Bedrock has 2.1?
Us slightly younger folk got to do similar stuff with cheat engines on consoles like the PSP. You'd configure a 'plugin' to be loaded by the CFW with the game, press some key combo to freeze the game and go fishing for cheats in memory (or use previously saved ones).

That kind of fiddling was such a big part of my developing an interest in computers and building a solid understanding of how all the magic works internally, it's a bit of a shame that kids nowadays can't really jump into fiddling around like that since the devices they'd play games on are much better locked down (or on PC, require you to already know what you're doing to be able to snoop around in another program's memory).
"Move fast and break things", right?
And when one of the other members of the said LLC happens to be facing felony charges - chances are you too will find yourself involved in an investigation.

… which is normal and expected, as we all have been taught by our parents not to be getting into cars and banking arrangements with strangers.

But I suspect that the interested parties here want to avoid the inconvenience of facing charges.
I may not want one entity I pay to know every single other entity I pay/paid or received money from, in what amounts, and when.

This could be for personal reasons--perhaps I'm purchasing health-related products/services...or something less high-minded like sex toys--or for professional reasons. I could be running payroll, paying suppliers, etc. and don't want everyone, including my competitors, to have easy access to all my financial activity.

> it's a currency that lies outside the control of any government

and yet, most gov't that want to ban it has done so. So is it really outside their control?
The efficient ones are still outright scams if not blatantly illegal. All cryptocurrencies should die. After more than a decade it's clear by now that blockchains are a useless technology and the investors are getting more and more desperate to pass the bag.

It has more features actually - cause it does video. But quality is far, far behind gpt4-vision. (Just tried a bunch of images on it and compared to the gpt4 output). This feels more gpt3 level. I’m glad someone is working on it though!
Reader apps is quite wide category. It includes pretty much all types of content - ebooks, videos, audio etc. Spotify and Netflix falls under it afaik.
VPP has been shown to run at 22.1 Mpps on a single core of Gracemont (the efficient / Atom core in Alder Lake), and 42.3 Mpps on 2 cores. (Intel E810 4x25 NIC, DPDK 22.0, VPP 22.06, GCC 9.4.0, RFC 2544 test with packet loss <= 0.1%.

The same core will do 14.99Gbps of IPsec (aes-128-gcm, 1480 byte packets) using VPP, largely because it supports (VEX-encoded) VAES.

While these aren't ARM cortex A72s, they're quite close (cheap low power) for Intel.

> The most important part (in what the kids today would call "my lived experience") is to push yourself hard, sweat a lot, and do it at least 3 or 4 times a week.

I wouldn't even say you need to push yourself hard. Getting yourself into 120-150 bpm for 30-60 minutes 3x per week will get you most of the benefits.
Because you’re not understanding what it’s regurgitating. It’s not a fact machine that regurgitates knowledge, in fact it’s not really so good at that. It regurgitates plausible patterns of language, and combining words and such is hardly a rare pattern
Do you think every single person in OpenAI is an AI Phd? We are talking about 770 people, most of which are not rich and likely do not even own their own home. So yes, they are the little people.

If you are going to potentially ruin the lives of 770 people you should have a better reason than being afraid of a chatbot and laundry buddy.
I don't understand why so many people seem to dislike git. But maybe in actuality it is not many people, as usually people who are discontent are the loudest.

I used Mercurial in the past for a bit, and it was fine. But for me it doesn't seem to have any huge advantages over git, if any. And after so many years of experience using git, I know what workflows work well, how to resolve merge conflicts, how to revert to an old commit if something really gets messed up, etcetera.

I don't see any other DVCS really being able to replace git in the short run and I wouldn't be surprised if git will stay number 1 for the following decennia, as in my opinion it's really great software. A DVCS really has to provide substantial benefits over git in order to replace git as the number 1 DVCS.
I thought of the same thing!

But then why not wait a few extra days and then have something to write down in the "Reason" box on his pink slip? Even if this turns out to be true it still smells like incompetence.
They initially used different brakes, but they reverted to the good old peanut oil brakes because they had issues of some sort with dust.

I'm struggling to find a source that tells the reason, but here you can see they chose wooden brakes.

arguably no one in openai should. the ability to develop software has nothing to do with the ability to make decisions for the world at large.
The analogy is just to say that you should be allowed to put legally obtained $100 in the mixing jar.

Obviously illegally obtained money is illegally obtained regardless of the number of hoops you go through to hide it.
You're correct, most of apps aren’t. But the subject app Spotify falls under it.
Currently OpenHermes2-Mistral-7B (via exllama2), OpenAI Whisper (via faster_whisper), and StyleTTS2 (uses HF Transformers). All PyTorch-based.

I will probably update to the OpenHermes vision model when Nous Research releases it, so it'll be able to see with the webcam or even read your screen and chat about what you're working on! I also need to update to Whisper-v3 or Distil-Whisper, and I need to update to a newer StyleTTS2. I also plan to add a Mandarin TTS and Qwen-7B bilingual LLM for a bilingual chatbot. The amount of movement in open AI (not to be confused with OpenAI) is difficult to keep up with.

Of course I need to add better attribution for all this stuff, and a whole lot of other things, like a basic UI. Very much an MVP at the moment.
Who do you think makes the cash? And you are aware it all has serial numbers and at times with things like bank robberies they use those to track it down.
FTX has a ~$8B hole.

It was far cheaper for CZ to pay the $4.3B fine.
Microsoft probably has an escrow type deal on the code and weights: if anything goes sideways with OpenAI, Microsoft gets everything they need to take over.
After school cartoons and Saturday morning cartoons were a life send when I was an 80s kid. PBS had some interesting programming that could appeal to kids on Friday nights (Blakes 7, Doctor Whoever). Even cable was a wash back then, you got bored of Nickelodeon quickly and there was no cartoon channel yet.
Yeah, I wish there was an option to verbally cue that you were finished talking... like an "over and out" thing. Do you know about the feature where you can press the circle to force it to listen and then release for it to answer?
We're talking about scenarios where the drives report (untruthfully) that the data has been committed to non-volatile storage _before_ the power is removed

Not scenarios where the data is in the cache when the power drops and the drive is expected to write out the cache with internal power alone.
In a different universe with Musk actually being the hero some people think he is, this would be a fantastic argument to get behind. Hey advertisers, we are a content-neutral pipeline. Your ads are only showing up next to this type of content for people who deliberately set out to view that content. We believe in principled free speech, and people's right to say this despicable stuff so that it can be soundly rejected in the public sphere. We hope you'll continue to do business with us, and support the American ideals of freedom, but if not there are plenty of other websites to advertise on. However back in this universe, the most sympathetic interpretation of events is that Musk has a debilitating social media addiction causing him to regress to the adolescent edgelord phase. And so the argument that the site is a content-neutral conduit falls completely flat when the chief forum admin is spending his time personally boosting the vile content!
Absolutely. And the video games of the era were so hard and/or frustrating that you couldn't really play them all day.

We've really mastered the art of creating compelling and addictive time sucks, and our kids are paying the price for it. Ok we're all paying a price for it, but kids the worst.

Great question. Yeah, probably they panicked and made a huge mistake.
Make flexbox the default layout for everything, and add a flex-snap feature that will snap to the nearest multiple of some given size. I'm not sure we actually would still need grids.

I also wonder if you couldn't have a more transparent and parameterizable auto width algorithm based on a lowest cost solver.

So you could say "If this element wraps, it's cost 50", meaning you want all the boxes to stay on as few lines as possible. Or "Every em of height this element has is cost 10, if anything triggers a scrollbar, that's cost 100".

Maybe instead of flex-grow, you'd just add negative cost to the width of something.

You could have alternate rulesets so the browser could choose one or the other for lowest overall page cost.

Also, class inheritance. I don't see why that's not a thing. "Not needing processors" should be a pretty big design goal.

Yea bank AML systems will definitely go off. Especially at big banks. I vaguely recall a comment here where the person(s) even spoke with the branch manager yet accounts were eventually flagged as part of AML. Funds frozen.
the term "money laundering" is the anti-euphemism of "financial privacy". It's a highly successful attack on privacy. It's been drilled into our heads that privacy is bad, and it won't stop there.
callannie.ai has browser support, and video characters too
I can see a number of points in time where that goal could have been achieved much better than in the way it happened. For instance: instead of a single deal with a large tech company it should have been a financial deal shared between a syndicate.

That would have been a lot safer than to give MS the keys to the kingdom.

But she was on the board when that happened and presumably agreed to the deal or she could have resigned.

And it's not quite the tobacco company we're talking about here. I'm more in line to compare it to the Manhattan project.
callannie.ai is faster and has and video characters too
I managed to cut down the team lead's daily mail ingress from 3000 mails to sub 300 buy pushing the changes through the org to use a named distribution groups and other minor tweaks.

It's not easy to make the same on a personal account (at least without a personal domain name) but still can be done.
Nice work, thanks for making it! A few nice-to-haves:
1. it didn’t mention in readme that ollama has to be started manually in terminal. But I figured that out.
2. have a short video showing how it works in coding work, especially for people who never used gh copilot.
Unless she has equity in Anthropic (which would be major conflict of interest), I don't see how this is self promotion...?
Or just go to the casino and play some blackjack until you lose 1 to 3% and then leave with your mixed money.
They knew what the options looked like, there was disagreement on which was better, and apparently no one in a position to simply issue a decision to end the debate.
If you believe that aligned AGI will create a post-scarcity society, there's no reason for its creator to hoard the benefits for themselves. The main thing is to ensure that post-scarcity society actually comes into being.

Edit: Note also the "value-aligned, safety-conscious" caveat.
The make uploaders pay to keep their ad-free videos saved to the service. 1 penny per minute of saved video a year should do the trick.

A nickel per minute / month if they want to get greedy about it.
Jesus, get your brain checked. Just to reiterate I said nothing to lose if OpenAI is killed. In your argument they are losing if it is not killed, a polar opposite.
She published AI safety research as a member of a board whose mandate it is to act as a check and balance on the operation of an AI company. You are saying that she should hide information from the public out of loyalty to the company.

edit: Or that the board can't actually make a difference because whatever OpenAI doesn't do someone else will. But if people actually thought that were true they wouldn't have set up the board and charter.
This does have the network effect disavantage of requiring everything to move to XMR immediately.

Also, except maybe for purely digital there will be "on-off ramps" anyway, except it will be for real goods instead of fiat currency. The government can ban you from paying the gardener or buying milk with XMR.
> If she agreed with the Microsoft deal but not with what followed that too would be hopelessly naive. Microsoft + ethics?

I guess the main problem here is that nobody knows properly what this deal contains and how it was made. I believe CEO has power to do such deal alone?

It is mentally harder to type prose without caps, post a full stop/period than not. You even use full stops/periods! ... and new lines.

Anyway. "AI" isn't indispensable at all. I don't whitter on about my sodding huge De Walt wrist wrencher - its just a tool.

I'll never forget the first time I vapourised a chunk of concrete with my gimlet gaze. I really did! OK it was a sample in an electron microscope and I focussed in a bit too close. That was 1990. In 1999 I helped an employee of a helicopter factory get an Excel based "neural network" spreadsheet to work. Hopf (something) networks were all the rage. I could go on.

Please find your shift key.
The same can be said for any other instance of deanonymization, and yet we do not thereby (by default) absolve everyone who deanonymizes someone else against their will. Was Scott perfectly careful? No. Was this something that harmed him in straightforward and predictable ways, and done against his wishes? Yes. Was there a trade-off that made it worth it? Not a question that Cade Metz has seen fit to answer publicly.
IANAL but Intent matters, not just for this, but for lots of things
Depends if buying FTX would have stabilized the price of their FTT coin. That would have filled in some of the hole. And then CZ wouldn't have had to step down
It's almost not worth trying to explain it. Some people are wired in a way that makes taking care of their own fate terrifying and they're extremely happy to outsource that to a government they know full well to be inefficient and ineffective.

*Tanks and drones don't stand on street corners.* F18s can't enforce a curfew. No amount of equipment is going to control a population. We've seen it over. Now all of that is putting aside that anyone seriously thinks our military wouldn't crumble in a second if directed internally? They're reeling from kicking kids out that didn't want covid shots and failing to recruit, watch what happens when even Career Srgt Bootlicker is asked to open fire on a street that looks just like his back home.

I'm not interested in entertaining the idea I need firearms to stop the US military. I'm cautious I would need to protect mine against the people that would support something like that.

Maybe some people do learn, and in this case it's Microsoft, who are not repeating the same thing with Blazor as they did with Silverlight.

FWIW: an mixed account for shared expenses is 100% legal and definitely not money laundering as long as you do the accounting and can show that it all paid for groceries. People get hung up on the specifics of AML/KYC regulations and tend to forget the context. That's sort of what the linked article is about.

"No evidence screen time is negative for child cognitive development?" Really?

> analysed the cognitive function of 9-12 year old children alongside their self-reported screen time use

> no evidence was found to show that screen time impacted their brain function or well-being

Oh, I'm sure screen-time lights up all sorts of areas of the brain. Stimulation is the point. The test passes because they redefined the problem itself. And if I'm reading the abstract correctly, the test only ran for 2 years.

How'd they measure well-being? Because every other day there's articles published about how miserable all the kids are and how corrosive social media has been for their mental health.

The sheer functionality of git is amazing. The number of times I have encountered a new situation and used a previously unknown (to me) feature, or (equally as impressive) been able to harness the flexibility of the software to wrangle some strange edge case are innumerable.

No I don’t think it’s generational. I see it across the age spectrum and I am in Texas too. Lots of neighborhoods just don’t interact. The gems are the neighborhoods where people live there because they really want to live in that house within that neighborhood.
