In this case, with these stakes, I think it's in the board's purview to understand the implications of firing your CEO with no immediate replacement plan, and the current state of possibly the most important contract your company has would be relevant.
I agree with you. But I suspect the reason they need to shut up is because their actual reason for firing him is not justifiable enough to protect them, and stating it now would just give more ammunition to plaintiffs. If they had him caught red-handed in an actual crime, or even a clear ethical violation, a good lawyer would be communicating that to the press on their behalf.

High-ranking employees that have communicated with them have already said they have admitted it wasn't due to any security, safety, privacy or financial concerns. So there aren't a lot of valid reasons left. They're not talking because they've got nothing.
I think people are downvoting your answer incorrectly.

Best I can tell that’s because you used the word SUPPLEMENTS in all caps which is reminiscent of spam email.

However, while I can’t validate anything about your grandfather what you’re saying seems plausible and some papers have talked about it.

Interesting, if I remember correctly, 8080 also required 4 clock cycles to fetch and execute a single-byte instruction. Did 8088 inherit some schematics from 8080? And 6502 uses 1 clock cycle for one memory access.
Editing the germline is a terrible idea. Governments should instead fund IVF with genome sequencing of the embryos so that you can pick an embryo that doesn't have the disease. Of course only for people with genetic diseases.

You should work with town council to regulate & tax airbns, imho they should stay but you should extract some value back to municipality and local people.

I don't think there's any concrete reason to be overly negative here. Also, I did point out that there are no guarantees. But he seems to have solved a few hard problems already. Including with Starship. Musk is not just "associated with", but a main driver of technical decision making in all of his projects. Give the man some credit. The narrative that he just happens to get lucky a lot doesn't stand a lot of scrutiny.
It seems kind of naive to think that he'll be CEO for long, or if it is for long, that there will be much company left to be a CEO of.
>People keep speculating

Your take isn't uncommon, only are missing the main point of your interpretation - that the board is fully incompetent if it was truly that petty of a reason to ruin the company.

It's not even that it's not a justifiable reason, but they did it without getting legal advice or consulting with partners and didn't even wait for markets to close.

Board destroyed billions in brand and talent value for OpenAI and Microsoft in a mid day decision like that.

This is also on Sam Altman himself for building and then entertaining such an incompetent board.
Show HN: ChatGPT Custom Instruction Switcher browser extension
Hi HN,

For those using the free ChatGPT web UI, I've made a free browser extension/addon that will allow you to maintain and switch between multiple custom instruction sets, so you can give ChatGPT different contexts/personalities at the press of a button:

https://github.com/tf318/chatgpt-custom-instruction-switcher

You can install it in Firefox from the Add-Ons store: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chatgpt-instr...

It's still under review for the Chrome Web Store, so for now for Chrome/Edge you can follow the sideloading instructions at the GitHub URL.
Yes, banks typically do not have sufficient funds to cover all customer's savings, and when customers realize their bank played with their money but lost, they freak out and do a so called "bank run". At least banks are regulated, so that's fine, right.

For those who have a short memory, a bank run last occurred earlier this year with the Silicon Valley Bank... https://www.investopedia.com/svb-financial-group-shares-crat...

By the way, if you put your cash money in a bank, your money is insured up to 250,000USD in the US and up to 100,000EUR in the EU. Anything above is your own risk. But it's perfectly fine because at least, it's regulated.
I don't think the analogy to AI is apt because Stockfish isn't intelligent and life isn't a chess game. A one million IQ AI might be able to hack your chess game (or your OS) and win that way, or persuade you by chat to let it win (it could give you the cure for cancer and help you make some investments in the stock market - isn't that worth more than winning a game?)

Life isn't a chess games either. It's not clear that a contest is happening or that only side will win. Humanity could, now, quickly stop AI. We could burn down all the data centers and chip fabs and kill everyone who knows linear algebra. But we don't because nobody ever sits down and says "Okay, the contest for existence starts now!"

Instead, AI capabilities increase year after year and month after month and the AI will simply be able to bide its time to start the game. To use the chess metaphor the table is set where humanity has all the pieces and AI only its king - but every hour AI adds another piece. If we never make a move we will face it at full strength.

Straight forward disagreement over direction of the company doesn't generally lead to claiming wrongdoing on the part of the ousted. Even low level to medium wrongdoing on the part of the ousted rarely does.

So even if it's just "why did they insult Sam while kicking him out?" there is definitely a bigger, more interesting story here than standard board disagreement over direction of the company.

FYI, on Apple Silicon Apple included a firmware-level "hard-switch" to limit the charge to 75/80% only. It was discovered by marcan while working on Asahi and in my experience it's much more convenient than the built-in ML-based solution (and also less hacky and bloated than AlDente).

Right, it was the case. Is it still? It's nearly the end of 2023, I see three papers with his name on them this year and they're all last-place names (i.e. minor contributions)

Does OpenAI still need Sutskever? A guy with his track record could have coasted for many, many years without producing much if he'd stayed friends with those around him, but he hasn't. Now they have to weigh the costs vs benefits. The costs are well known, he's become a doomer who wants to stop AI research - the exact opposite of the sort of person you want around in a fast moving startup. The benefits? Well.... unless he's doing a ton of mentoring or other behind the scenes soft work, it's hard to see what they'd lose.
There is more news (rumours?) coming out that suggest that Ilya (and others) may have been "played" by Adam D'Angelo. Things seem to be getting murkier by the minute.

But all said and done, people need to get behind Ilya and the Technical Team at OpenAI. They deserve it.
I agree it's all just speculation. But the board aren't doing themselves any favors by not talking. As long as there is no specific reason for firing him given, it's only natural people are going to fill the void with their own theories. They have a problem with that, they or their attorneys need to speak up.

>You're inferring a lot from my comment, a lot that isn't there and wouldn't be there. You're also straw-manning rationalize your position: that you've been right for 2+ days that Sam Altman is an evil "clout chasing" tech bro who was going to oust the board but thankfully the ethical good people got to him first

First you say I'm inferring then you infer what my position is.

I told you my position. I'm speculative on anything except for the board being mentally retarded. You agree with me but you proceed to say this:

>My take comes from a background of not thinking boards are all that special compared to company leaders, and they're at their best when they don't interfere with extraordinary CEOs/Founders. Further, my general belief is that inexperienced boards are common, detrimental, and don't really understand this. I'm also biased against nonprofit boards, mostly from personal experience though obviously with smaller orgs.

This up above is essentially YOU saying the board is mentally retarded but dressing it up in nicer clothes. Literally you don't even mention a reason here. You just say, inexperience and detrimental which is "stupid" but dressed up.

>My current take on this situation is not so much that the board was mentally retarded, but that the org structure allowed people with strong competing interests and very little "skin in the game" in the org to serve on the board, creating stronger incentives for an activist board than incentives for long-term success, which (as I alluded to) leads to poor outcomes.

An "activist" board? That's just another synonym for being a dumbass. When someone gets fired it's usually because of incompetence, hatred, dislike, public pressure or power.

>Strong incentives here to slow down OpenAI in favor of their own external, competing missions.

This is valid IF you have the evidence of the incentive. State the competing interests and Emmet Shears motive for slowing down OpenAI by 90%.

Express trains are not high speed rail. The bullet trains do NOT make a huge amount of land available to commuters; they cost a lot to ride on, so no one who isn't very rich could afford to commute on one every day. Not many people can afford USD$100-200 per day for commuting.
Hey other infinite Rick. Came here to say the same.
In our society the concept of a "Free Market" is not one where participants are free to do entirely as they please without consequence. The use of the word Free in "Free Market" implies a freedom from restricted competition which definitionally requires a regulatory body to maintain a somewhat level playing field.

Again, in order to ensure this healthy competition in markets, regulation is required. This is why we attempt to inhibit monopolists, and why antitrust laws in general exist. Absolute freedom in the personal sense is expressly not a goal of modern free market economics.

You are free, subject to taxation of course, to hang onto your "hard earned labor" on your shitcoins but Kraken is not free to operate as a securities exchange unless it complies with the regulations in place so as to ensure an orderly and healthy market.

DeFi people are constantly finding out[0] why some centralization and oversight is a good idea.

"Black star" in Italian. Cool name :)
I think GP deals with that in his parenthesis.

It would be nice if we held organizations to their stated missions. We don't.

Perhaps there simply shouldn't be a tax break. After all if your org spends all its income on charity, it won't pay any tax anyway. If it sells cookies for more than what it costs to make and distribute them, why does it matter whether it was for a charity?

Plus, we already believe that for-profit orgs can benefit society, in fact part of the reason for creating them as legal entities is that we think there's some sort of benefit, whether it be feeding us or creating toys. So why have a special charity sector?

So can Java, Javascript, there is nothing fundamentally new here. As I said, I’m all for managed languages, and I believe they should be the default choice, only seldom “overwritten” by going lower level in very specific circumstances. Nonetheless, Rust is an interesting, novel language for this very reason - it is memory safe without having a GC.

You are the one who always mention stuff like gcj - how is that, available at Java 1.2 times, any different than Go, in a fundamental way?
People often cite bias in facial recognition systems, but I would argue that the average human is worse. Many people struggle to distinguish between people of ethnicities that are different from those they are most familiar with.

The real problem with people interpret the data from those systems, assuming the confidence levels of matches are displayed as they should be.
Thank you! I had fun with it and wills I said, was really surprised and happy that my coloring “algorithm” works as well as it does. I spent a lot more time trying to figure out how to make the upload, convert to bitmap array, draw on canvas stuff work (and the trial and error is probably pretty obvious as all the commented code and lack of formatting lays evident. It was a “finally, it works… go to bed” situation. )

Yes, it’s open source I. The sense that it runs entirely in your browser.
:-) i don’t think I put any license in the code but I do t remember for sure.). That’s the web though right? If you like it, view it Learn it use it, right?

I haven’t put it in my GitHub because it’s really heinous code with lots of commented out nonsense as I was trying to figure out the html canvas, css, and JavaScript to make it work. (None of those pay my bills so it was as much a curiosity for me as it is to you. )

But yeah, if you promise not to point and laugh at how sloppy it is, just “view source”, or Ctrl-shift/I, or right-click|Inspect.. whatever your preferred method is. I may clean it up and make it more accessible if it seems of interest to folks.

Thanks again for taking a look and making time to comment on my tool, especially as a minor threadjack my comment was. :-)

I mean, there seem to be this cult following around Sam Altman on HN and Twitter. But do the common user care like at all?

What sane user would want a shitcoin CEO in charge of a product they depend on?
What? They told Ilya these two things, and he said, alright then, I volunteer to fire Sam for you?

That either makes Ilya pretty dumb (sorry, neural networks are not that complicated, it is mostly compute), or there is much much more to this story.

Whether USD deposits have FDIC protection (250K (x2 *) or the balance of the account, whichever is lower; since the Great Recession [1] (before that it was 100K per account))

In 1999, GLBA [2] changed the 1933 Glass-Steagall rule [3] that had prevented banks from investing Savings deposits in order to ensure that they would have enough to prevent another run. (As depicted in "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946); Clarence the angel or Mr. Potter's Potterville)

I'm not sure that it's anywhere explicitly stated that the banks' socialist FDIC corporation justified allowing investing of savings deposits. They created a large shared prepaid credit line for themselves in order to operate safely.

Banks invest in non-securities; without any agreement for future performance.

Banks invest in treasuries, which are tokenizable non-security deposits.

There is yet no FDIC protection for any stablecoin, and yet no CBDC (just FedNow), but US banks are specifically allowed to provide crypto custody services.
Despite working with .Net for decades, I've not jumped to blazor.

The reasons are varied, many of which are well articulated in the article, but the most notable throughout various workplaces I've worked at, there's been a hesitance to jump on MS web frameworks in fear of a repeat of silverlight.

Silverlight burned a lot of small businesses hard, almost everywhere I've worked has had a silverlight horror story of a project they experimented in it with only for it to languish. So now they either have some outdated dependencies they'll never update or had to re-write it back into something else.

Even without silverlight concerns, most .net places I've worked have very much been legacy focused. This might be my own culture fit at interviews so I end up with places with lots of legacy of course.

But these giant legacy systems already have a plethora of mixed web technologies from ASP.net webforms, asp.net MVC, through .net core MVC, and many others. The willingness to add another different technology into the mix isn't relished.

For small companies, the cost of migrating older projects to new technologies is a significant burden which gets ignored for as long as it can be reasonably done so.
Most taxes on motorists outside of large towns/cities (where there's no viable alternative to cars).

Of course, climate catastrophists want everyone living in pods in dystopian mega-cities as the solution for this.

Ok, 'get in the pods' may be a silly meme, but living a tiny but ludicrously expensive city centre apartment and working from home on a screen (or in a future metaverse) all day, getting most things delivered and rarely needing to go outside, it's getting pretty close.
If you write "Christian Communities hate gays", I will very much read "all Christian communities". And deduce that you're probably spewing nonsense, just as with "Jewish communities" and "Muslim communities".

More specifically, hydrogen has an atomic weight of 1, whereas oxygen has an atomic weight of 16. For producing H20, that means you would have to carry 8x your hydrogen's weight in oxygen, if you don't use atmospheric oxygen.

TIL. Given that 15-213 has been widely available for years I naively assumed this would also hold true for other undergrad CS courses, but apparently not.
I'm not sure that the problem is fragmentation inside an operating system. It's how widespread some brands are. I never had such problems with any Samsung phone I owned, even a Sony Xperia one years ago. I guess that it means that Apple, Samsung and even Sony (back at the time) are more mainstream than Google and for shops it's not worth to keep spare parts of Google phones.
To be fair, the last time I had to replace a screen of a Samsung because it dropped down flat on the screen instead of on a corner, I had to wait one day for the replacement part to arrive to the shop. I put the SIM in the old phone or in my tablet and went back the next day. I'm not replacing the screen myself, it looks to require some extra skills compared to a battery.
> Ostracism is progress on racism and sexism.

It is absolutely not. Ostracism is - at best - a means towards the end, of ending racism and sexism. One of many. It may work, or it may backfire.

If you can't tell the difference between the means and the goal, it's not just a long war, it's a classic forever war.
Yeah and then why don’t devs learn to administer their own databases as well. While they’re at it, writing some QA test cases can’t be all that hard. Continuous integration is pretty straightforward to set up so that as well. To be fair, it’s rather formulaic to come up with UI designs as well. Also security, load balancing and requirement docs just take a little dabbling to learn.
No, their defense is that Media Matters was passing this off to advertisers as representative of what normal Twitter users were seeing.

I don't know much about US law specifically, but in most countries if a third party (usually but not always a competitor) goes to one party in an agreement and lies to them in order to induce them to cut business from a second, then that's libel/slander and can yield damages against the untruthful party.

In this case Media Matters has clearly been untruthful. What they did is barely different from just outright Photoshopping the images together, or sticking a misleading caption on a cropped photo. The legal question is therefore only to what extent US law / first amendment protects such unethical behavior, not whether they did it at all.
Yes of course, those evil speculators
