Hi bojanz, to be honest we were not well informed enough on the licensing nuances. I appreciate you sharing these links, please tune into this GitHub issue where we'll give updates soon and make sure any ambiguity is resolved. https://github.com/riverqueue/river/issues/47
By the way, it is 480p. 420 is for something else :)
Oh yeah, a pure function that accepts previous state, and returns the new state is the pattern I use a lot.

The issue is that it is hard to do on complex graph structures in an algorithm where incremental changes happen to the graph O(n) times - it ends up creating complex code and complex execution that might be slow to pass the time limit on Codeforces, let's say.

In the OCaml world maybe this is the place where you say "screw it, this abstracted function does some stateful temporary business, but it looks pure from the outside" but in Haskell it's a lot harder to pull off without going deep into monads (and I forget how those work every time).
Those who already do it and others who might consider this type of work. If they didn't depend so much on it, maybe (for example) employers, customers, etc would have to treat them with more respect.

Even if it isn't viable to increase the pay, the work could be made more pleasant if people took more persuading to take it.
For an external party, having access to the 45 GB is the easy part. Now, you will need to create a company and supplier base the size of Boeing to make any use of this :-)
You don't think AGI is feasible? GPT is already useful. Scaling reliably and predictably yields increases in capabilities. As its capabilities increase it becomes more general. Multimodal models and the use of tools further increase generality. And that's within the current transformer architecture paradigm; once we start reasonably speculating, there're a lot of avenues to further increase capabilities e.g. a better architecture over transformers, better architecture in general, better/more GPUs, better/more data etc. Even if capabilities plateau there are other options like specialised fine-tuned models for particular domains like medicine/law/education.

I find it harder to imagine a future where AGI (even if it's not superintelligent) does not have a huge and fundamental impact.
Yes, and we could have been far more proactive about all this AI business in general. But they opened the gates with ChatGPT and left countries to try to regulate it and assess its safety after the fact. Releasing GPT like that was already a major failure of safety. They just wanted to be the first one to the punch.

They're all incredibly reckless and narcissistic IMO.
Can you elaborate? Never heard of such a thing. If anything, macOS seems to be loosing network features, such as the network location casualty in the recent System Preferences -> Settings reboot.
I'm not exactly sure of the connection, but I just got a message that I must enroll in the new, mandatory CLEAR program which appears to use facial recognition. Is this one of the two pilot programs they're talking about here?

You seem to be using a definition of "AI safety believer" that you've reasoned and arrived at yourself. It seems like a reasonable definition and I personally agree with it - the best path to maximal social good is for the ability to build and run these models to be as open and public as possible.

I think the "AI safety believers" actually sitting on the board of OpenAI, as well as in other adjacent influential positions, have a different view. I'm probably being a bit uncharitable since it's not a view I share, but they think that AI is so dangerous that the unwashed masses can't be trusted with it - only the elite and enlightened technocrats can handle that responsibility. "Let[ting] the world control the end result of whatever advances come from these LLMs" is a nightmare scenario for them.

If it's correct that this second "elitist" type of AI safety believer accurately describes the OpenAI board members, releasing anything out into the open as FOSS is a non starter.

who in their right mind has "emotions" and even "loyalty" for a CEO? and so much to the point that they'd quit their jobs over the CEO's departure? the reality is that people didn't join OpenAI because of sam altman. they joined the company because they got paid (handsomely) to do some interesting work.
Its not “How dare you do it this way!”. Its "Why do you fail in the end with the simplest and most obvious tasks?"
I was wondering in the mass quit scenario whether they would all go to Microsoft. Especially if they are tired of this shit and other companies offer a good deal. Or they start their own thing.
Rc and Arc traits are implementations of the _runtime_ reference counters. Runtime reference counting is sometimes less efficient than tracing GC.

But Roc counts references in _compile_ time. So it's like _usual_ (not wrapped in Rc<>) values in Rust. But in Rust the value is deleted from the heap when the stack frame with the _only_ link to it («the owner») is deleted. And in Roc the value is deleted from the heap, when the _last_ link to it leaves the stack.

So we have the machine code _almost_ as efficient as a Rust-produced machine code, but the source code with a much simpler semantics.
I believe it is hard to understand these kind of movements because there isn't one reason. As has been mentioned, it may be money for some. For others it may be anger over what they feel was the board mishandling the situation and precipitating this mess. For others it may be loyalty. For others peer pressure. etc.

This has moved from the kind of decision a person makes on their own, based on their own conscience, and has become a public display. The media is naming names and publicly counting the ballots. There is a reason democracy happens with secret ballots.

Consider this, if 500 out of 770 employees signed the letter - do you want to be someone who didn't? How about when it gets to 700 out of 770? Pressure mounts and people find a reason to show they are all part of the same team. Look at Twitter and many of the employees all posting "OpenAI is nothing without its people". There is a sense of unity and loyalty that is partially organic and partially manufactured. Do you want to be the one ostracized from the tribe?

This outpouring has almost nothing to do with profit vs non-profit. People are not engaging their critical thinking brains, they using their social/emotional brains. They are putting community before rationality.

Idk, they do clearly fly into the equatorial trench the first time we see the Death Star, and it is clearly very, very wide.

I never paid attention to the briefing graphic which showed it was a longitudinal trench, so in my head canon it was always lateral. But not the equatorial trench. I'm also a bit dumbfounded that misunderstanding is/was so common.

It is radical, but if you drop the 'c' you've got a more descriptive title.

Sure, it seems like an insane plan, but just imagine being able to tour every major European region in a couple seconds. You could even do it over and over until you got dizzy.

It's a business model that has certainly been working. If your business has been crippled due to your systems having been encrypted then you do often consider paying the ransom.

However if you have adequate backup and recovery mechanisms in place then you're not the best to prey on.

It's a business model that works until the majority of targets have appropriate backup and recovery processes.
what’s the right way to interpret the last section on cpu utilization? i.e. now that you’re able to achieve 12.5gbps how much overhead is this at a machine level?

I don’t use Twitter anymore and assumed the article would have links for those who want to read them at the source. I tried finding a link on google but all links were of just musk’s response and you can’t use Twitter outside the app anymore unless you land exactly where you want. No need for the hostility, it wasn’t some deliberate misdirection or something. Admittedly, I should have looked more closely at the article as it also only links out to musk’s and not the original one.
Competition will love to have a look at this data but obviously they won't announce it to the whole world that they are digging through the files. One day Airbus will build a new plane before Boeing or just win a lucrative contract and we will never know whether this happened naturally or because of the knowledge they got from this data.
i always thought it was the opposite. the different entities in a society are frequently misaligned, yet societies regularly persist beyond the span of any single person.

companies in a capitalist system are explicitly misaligned with eachother; success of the individual within a company is misaligned with the success of the company whenever it grows large enough. parties within an electoral system are misaligned with eachother; the individual is often more aligned with a third party, yet the lesser-aligned two-party system frequently rules. the three pillars of democratic government (executive, legislative, judicial) are said to exist for the sake of being misaligned with eachother.

so AI agents, potentially more powerful than the individual human, might be misaligned with the broader interests of the society (or of its human individuals). so are you and i and every other entity: why is this instance of misalignment worrisome to any disproportionate degree?

Not sure that I quite follow. Are you arguing that we should ensure that boards are always aligned with the exact same financial motivations as the investors themselves for fear of a disagreement of direction, morals, etc?
I was a child when the Apple ][ came out and spent my Saturday mornings writing really basic code... in BASIC. So my dream was to be a computer programmer. And that is what I did.

In hindsight, the dream wasn't any more interesting than that story of having achieved it.
That's not the point though. The point is that when you place a reservation, certain things are included. In the case of a restaurant, chairs are included. In the case of Delta, they explicitly state right under the agreed upon price that there is a seat available that I can reserve. It might be close to the restroom, sure. But they should not list this offer as inclusive of seat selection if there are no seats to select.

For some reason you fail to acknowledge that features listed under the price must be included in the price.

> Try reserving a specific table at the restaurant. An hour before the dinner.

Restaurants don't allow you to go through the reservation process to only suddenly mention at the last stage that the table has no chairs, or no table top (just table legs).
Exactly. It seems to me that a company is exactly the wrong vehicle for this. Because a company will be drawn to profit and look for a way to make money of it, rather than developing and managing it according to this ideology. Companies are rarely ideological, and usually simply amoral profit-seekers.

But they probably allowed this to get derailed far too long ago to do anything about it now.

Sounds like their only options are:

a) Structure in a way Microsoft likes and give them the tech

b) Give Microsoft the tech in a different way

c) Disband the company, throw away the tech, and let Microsoft hire everybody who created the tech so they can recreate it.
Except when you want to preserve it.
Right.

It is a masterpiece. I've played many games but RDR2 is on another level. It's like taking control of a character in a book and take him until the last page.
The 'easy' solution is not to let your data leak.
non-duality: thinking about the big bang scientifically and pondering if it all started with one conscious entity that split into other seemingly separate entities with amnesia* of the fact they are not really separate. I find this interesting because I wonder if I'm one of those entities with amnesia and a bunch of religious stuff I always thought was nonsense might not be.

>The choices of language are not exhausted by "deception" and "computing bug". Both those words are your invention.

It's just an illustration.

>Do you really think the only way to say "Don't use ChatGPT where strict adherence is essential because it's not that kind of system" is to say that the text generator may "deceived" someone, with all of the secondary implications that the word choice suggests? You can't conceive that there are any other metaphors and word choices that might both be more accurate and point in more fruitful research directions?

I have yet to see anyone who harped on "don't anthropomize" provide better predictive models of output behavior. "Unreliable" is just a statement of fact.

Output you might expect from those secondary implications manifest in the text or action output as well so that's fine.

This brings me back to the second point in my original reply. You don't know how deception works in the brain and you don't know how deceptive like output works in LLMs. Couple that with Humanity's track record on these sort of discussions and those "secondary implications" may well be true.
Huh. I sell an API as a service and I never thought about middlemen abstracting some parts of it away.

Why do people use this? Just curious what the bull case is for this. Totally willing to believe there is one, but failing to figure it out myself.

Lol! I up-voted you (seriously, I did) because this is close to the platonic ideal of a HN comment: egregious pedantry, plus a nerd-flex.

For those out of the loop on the nerd-flex, "Habu" was an unofficial, insidery nickname for the SR-71. It's the name of a venomous snake from somewhere with an SR-71 base (was it Okinawa? I think it was Okinawa), that the locals applied to the plane, because it (like the snake) was black and dangerous-looking.

I think people would be rightfully upset if syslogd, cron, and getty weren't started by default. moused and a mailer daemon I get not wanting to start. What else starts by default that you don't want?

Microsoft probably has a better claim than anyone as to being "hands-off" with recent acquisitions, but that's still a huge gamble.
Yeah the Data-Driven part is obvious but the development/design... Approach? Way?

Serendipitous in some sort of a backwards-way that I have personally already gone that way ~a decade ago, with even func/interface-first, and the first example I found is https://github.com/drbig/ricons/blob/master/ricons.go#L57-L5... (it's an example, sorry).

As usual the devil is in the balancing, as in most languages functions won't be data but code. Unless Lisp (...that statement is superficial; homoiconicity is the word).

Others are rightly pointing out "laptops are bigger so should have better reception" (assuming it's physically taking advantage of that, which most built-in do) but the modems in most laptops have been historically bad with the modems in phones top of the line (as well as often refreshed more often).

That's of course not a requirement, Apple could choose to put in the greatest modem they can make. That combined with good antenna design in the MacBooks should lead to significantly better reception. The limit of this is how good the modem is. Given how long they've let it slip my guess is they won't release it until it's very competitive, similar to how long they took to dump Intel despite the iPhone processors being competitive with the likes of the Intel m3 well before that. Time will tell on that one.

The other half of the story is Apple has already ditched SIMs for eSIMs in the iPhone. It'd be extremely odd if they then went backwards on this to put a SIM tray in the MacBook, a device they are regularly reluctant to include more than a couple of connectors on in the first place.
I feel you're going to have to do a bit more work to explain why this lobbying -> reward, vs. crime -> financial penalty, analogy makes sense.
But you don't only want your data back, you want the data disappear from circulation. While ransomware ensures the former transaction, it still in no way ensures the latter, making it still a dubious transaction.
> If they do things at different times, then they effectively live in a different timezone, but with the downside that’s much harder to know when it is that they are going to do things.

It's not hard to know when you do things where you live. Some places people drive on the left, some places they drive on the right, people in different places people speak different languages, people in different places get up and go to bed at different times. When you go to Xinjiang as an outsider sure the customary times are a bit unusual but they're far from the only unusual thing about going there.

> With time zones you know that businesses will work roughly from 9-10am to 5-6pm that people will normally go to bed around 10pm and will wake up around 7-8am.

Not necessarily - plenty of ways to be caught out if you make that kind of assumption about a place you're not familiar with (e.g. turning up at a business when it's siesta). When going somewhere unfamiliar you're already best off looking up when your hotel/restaurant/etc. opens, and it's easy to do these days.

Timezones maybe made sense when physically going to a different place was more common than having a phone/video meeting with someone in a different place. But nowadays being able to agree on the same instant in time when you're in two different places is more important and we should standardise.
It’s just an anecdote but I quit a job because the CEO fired an extremely good manager that I worked with. If a company has issues, a good person getting fired can lead to a mass exodus. In my case about half of the developers followed closely after me.

> Again, this is conflating "confiscated private property" with "prevented potential revenue from being prohibited from conducting business." Even in the most charitable terms these are not the same thing for good reason.

I disagree. The gov forced businesses to shut down (1). That is not the same as preventing potential revenue (2).

(1) requires just compensation. (2) doesn't.

> If the city shuts you down for health code violations, is that also pursuant under the fifth?

If the code is in place prior to your business' operation, then no. If a new law forces a new code that renders an existing contract of yours void, I would see a case for compensation as the gov passed the law for the benefit of the public.

> If a crime is committed near your business and the police have to shut down the road, is that also?

This is an example of (2) above. The gov isn't forcing your business shut. A policy has prevented customers from reaching you, but your business is still free to operate.

> If the government fails to act on climate change and your business is flooded out in the rising oceans, how about that?

No private property was seized. No compensation owed.

> Do you have evidence for that? Because we pumped about three trillion additional into the economy and nothing seems to have really happened.

Quite literally we're in record inflation times. Some of that is due to supply side constraints, but a whole bunch of it was due to the three trillion pumped into the economy to prevent an economic contraction.

> You don't have the freedom to yell fire in a crowded theater

You do. See Brandenburg v. Ohio.

> We curb individual liberty literally all of the time, in all sorts of ways, at all times and at a variety of scales because everyone having their own perfect bubble of autonomy leads to an utterly unmanageable society at scale.

We have laws in place to restrict freedoms. We cannot ignore these same laws when they prescribe a remedy for seizure of non state property by the state.
