He's talking about the frankfurt school, and its use of the Critical theory (aka the ouija board of social theories that you can analyze any minor difference with as long as you want the outcome to be there's an oppressor/oppressed situation here and it requires a bloody revolution) to foment radicalism and revolutionary violence in any group it can get its hooks into. The schools influences include the greatest hits of 18th and 19th century quackery, including marxism and Freudian psycho analysis, along with special guest, a blast from the past Idealism!
Notable members of the Frankfurt school include Herbert Marcuse who is most known for being one of the three authors of Repressive Tolerance, a 123 page exercise in how to say we need to kill a whole bunch of people until the repression free utopia emerges from the pools of blood, without actually saying we need to kill people outright.
Also: thanks, Ollama ;)
I think it's fairest to categorize most of it as stretch goals. They knew the odds of accomplishing all of them on only the second flight ever (and first with this staging design) were quite slim, but might as well be optimistic and have a plan for the small chance that by some miracle everything does actually work out perfectly. The first Falcon Heavy flight is a good example of what it looks like on the rare occasion when it all goes perfectly.

More broadly, SpaceX prioritizes low total cost and speed of development over everything else. That means they'll have more test flights than NASA and not all of them will be totally successful, and that's fine. The overall program will be.
You are right. Seems firefox displays %20 as whitespace and converts whitespace to %20 when you use it. Chrome displays it as %20 but still converts whitespace to %20 if you try to use it.
When the average NASA project is about a thousand percent over budget and fifteen years behind schedule, that's a very polite way of putting it.
I guess lol, but it be cool to understand it. I keep eating all this popcorn.
Without all the fluff:

One explanation was that Altman was said to have given two people at OpenAI the same project.

The other was that Altman allegedly gave two board members different opinions about a member of personnel
Your question is answered in the linked article.

I think the issue here is that it is both reasonable for the government to have a photo to facilitate some services, and also extremely dangerous for a centralized database to exist due to the kinds of surveillance this enables.

If we could be certain that the collected photos would be used only for the specific uses cases deemed necessary and acceptable, and never for the purpose of enabling new forms of surveillance, then it seems reasonable for the government to have this info.

But I don’t think that’s the reality. Or at least there aren’t checks and balances in place that I’m aware of that ensure the collected photos are not used for other purposes. It’s ultimately a problem of trust, and trust has been deeply eroded.

I'm not sure there is an other side on this? There are a limited handful of legal exceptions to free speech including for unlawful or criminal acts such as defamation, libel, and fraud. I think relatively few people would oppose strengthening these.

Where people diverge is when people want to censor, hurt and ideally destroy people who make unpopular but otherwise completely kosher comments. For instance Martin Kulldorff [1] and Jay Bhattacharya [2] are a couple of people who were censored/shadowbanned on old Twitter for expressing opinions about the best way to approach COVID, that were different than the 'official opinion.' One is a Harvard biostatistician, the other is professor of medicine at Stanford.

In general I think anybody should be able to express their opinion, but we live in a society now where even the most qualified cannot freely express themselves when their opinion runs contrary to whatever the official narrative of a time is. That's highly dysfunctional for any society, but words cannot express how stupid this is in a society where freedom of speech has been held as a fundamental value for centuries.

And the biggest threat is not even the overt censorship, but the self censorship that's the endgame goal of censorship. You make an example out of a handful of people, to ensure the other millions keep their mouths shut, in an effort to try to make opinions that made be otherwise widely held, look fringe.

Boycotts are unquestionably free speech from a legal perspective and definitional perspective.

From a moral perspective, Popehat’s main consistent point is that you need to be very specific about what behaviors cross a line and actually apply that fairly, which Elon pretty clearly does not. He has no problems asking people to boycott companies: https://sfstandard.com/2023/08/28/elon-musk-calls-for-boycot...

Of course she's delusional (in some respect). But that doesn't mean her claims of abuse are false.
I've recently got a roof solar system. Not surprisingly it's new so I'm checking production rates, battery charge, and grid consumption regularly (hey its still new :)

Even in this short space of time I'm interested to see how I'm starting to think more about -when- energy is used. When to do daily chores (washing machine, dryer, dishwasher), when to use (limited) battery power, and so on.

I'm also tracking "discarded production", if I have enough of that then it pays me to send back to the grid. (But there are setup costs in that.)

Once you have skin in the game, you learn the rules and play a bit harder.
Thorough and interim seem mutually exclusive to me. The whole point of an interim CEO is to have someone in the seat while you then be thorough. Given that, being CEO buddies seems as diligent as you could possibly be.

If Sam did something bad enough to warrant being removed as soon as they learned it, chucking someone you know personally and trust in the position while you then be thorough would seem the least bad course of action.

If Sam did not do something bad enough to warrant being removed as soon as they learned it, then firing him without any succession plan in place was a bad move and is "firing badly", but the hiring situation seems to me as exactly the same as in the "Sam did something really bad" line. Claiming both bad hiring and bad firing for the one decision seems like double counting to me, and will lead to circular reasoning. They hired badly ergo we can assume they fired badly, therefore they hired badly.
Is there a TLDR for why people care so much about this? This is all over my Twitter feed too and I just don't get it. CEO ousted for possibly stupid reasons. What's driving the angst here?
A more charitable interpretation might be that getting under the cut off is why it's one of the first treatments available. More treatments will become available as the overall costs start beating out the costs of living with $disease.

I read of a guy using a virus to deliver the DNA to his gut to fix his lactose intolerance. That was the first thing I read that made me feel more comfortable with the idea of gene therapy.

I'm not readily finding an explanation for how CRISPR works that makes sense to me and the current top comment* indicates this isn't actually a cure. I was hoping to get some idea of how CRISPR and a virus delivery mechanism compare.

1. The article you posted is from June 2023.

2. Satya spoke on Kara Swisher's show tonight and essentially said that Sam and team can work at MSFT and that Microsoft has the licensing to keep going as-is and improve upon the existing tech. It sounds like they have pretty wide-open rights as it stands today.

That said, Satya indicated he liked the arrangement as-is and didn't really want to acquire OpenAI. He'd prefer the existing board resign and Sam and his team return to the helm of OpenAI.

Satya was very well-spoken and polite about things, but he was also very direct in his statements and desires.

It's nice hearing a CEO clearly communicate exactly what they think without throwing chairs. It's only 30 minutes and worth a listen.

Not good fun when it's done in secret. That happened to me, and I was gaslit when I discovered the competing git repo.

Not saying that's what happened here, but too many people are defending this horrid concept of secretly making half your workers do a bunch of work only to see the boulder roll right back down the hill.

Is that the same person who had kids with Elon. Did Elon put her on the Open AI board as his proxy.
There are only two other companies with the amount of compute available that OpenAI needs - AWS and GCP. And GCP is a non starter and a distant third in cloud.

And if you think a migration at that scale is “easy” you haven’t been involved with mass migrations. Besides, Microsoft’s enterprise customers aren’t going to jump ship to another cloud provider and follow OpenAI.

Before I was giving anecdotes from n-6 job working at a startup and my n-3 job when I was on the other side of the table as a vendor’s largest customer.

This part of knowing how the cloud industry and migrations work comes from my n-1 job working in the Professional Services Department at AWS when I was involved with large migrations and saw how sticky enterprises were when it came to dealing with Microsoft.

And what does OpenAI have to offer another company with Microsoft already having 49% equity?
Does it do job completion notification?

Along the lines of:

_, err := river.Execute(context.Background(), j) // Enqueue the job, and wait for completion
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Unable to execute job: %s", err)
}
log.Printf("Job completed")

Does that make sense?

It must have been Ilya. His AGI hype went ridicule. His safety project went nowhere, so Sam had a 2nd team to do it better without telling him. Sam didn't tell Ilya that his approach sucked, only another board member.
It was ~5% because there was no reclocking whatsoever without GSP support.

Nouveau was never most performant driver, but developers still been able to achieve something like 50-80% performance on 6xx 7xx series cards before Nvidia started to signed firmware shenanigans.

It's not like I defending the driver performance, but considering for decades it was purely reverse engineering effort by skeleton team < 10 people their achievements are outstanding.
TUV is amazing, ive used it for years to buy every car. Check this out:

1) List the cars in the oldest category (12+ years from memory)

2) Find the most reliable which is a car which meets your needs

3) buy 12+ year old car for $2-3k

4) enjoy reliable cheap motoring. I'm driving a 2005 mercedes right now which cost next to nothing, has done 200k+ miles and feels like it's brand new. Thanks TUV
But it did move more (2% vs 0.77%) today, the first full trading day after the announcement from OpenAI's board.
These parts are not part of the check. Only the safety and environment relevant things are checked. So, to say it a little ironicly, when your car have no motor, this is ok, as long the break is working correctly.

Can you support your resale value claim with a source? Teslas continue to have the highest resale value of any "luxury" car in the US.
It's just outrage bait.

Just wait until the writer finds out the 'spiritualism' behind how Burning Man got its name...
Teslas are so cool and so cheap that if my fails, i'll just buy another one. Also running costs are virtually zero. They also project image way way above their price.
Important nit: they ruled Ethereum was a security, as the initial issuance was at least partially a pre-sale. They just decided in that one case to explicitly not go after Ethereum. The only non-security exception they've named was bitcoin.
This is not how this works...
I disagree that organizations like the ones Musk is railing against are “telling that person someone did something bad”

I mean that in the sense that a group of thugs might show up to a business and mention “this is a bad neighborhood, it would be a shame if someone were to break your storefront window”

They might argue they were just letting the business owner know a fact. They may even claim to be proponents of free-speech in an absolutist sense. But they are being manipulative and their claim to inform is an implied threat.

Further, the threat’s being made to Twitter’s advertisers aim to materially harm Musk, not to address or counter the bad thing he is claimed to have said.

I actually believe people have the legal right to do this. They often have a defensible moral reason. I just dislike that they obfuscate their tactics behind euphemism.
> Keep in mind this predates basically ANY kind of source control.

It might be before they were ported to DOS or OS/2, but it definitely wasn't before source control existed (SCCS and RCS were both definitely earlier.)
This post on Futurism is a great example of lazy, shitty "journalism" that just rehashes the _real_ excellent work of another actual article that did real reporting (the Atlantic piece) in a sad attempt to make it more click-baity.

What happens if you actually do fully drain an EV on the road? How do you recover from that situation? Normally you’d just have to get a container of fuel delivered to you.
You can do the same thing with Typst. There may be fewer predefined "styles", but you can just define your own quite easily. And they're far more powerful than in Word.
Usually one would go borrow money from a bank with the shares / options as collateral in these types of cases if you really need the money for legal expenses without liquidating them.
You could argue that Teslas are owned by the least car centric people, which leads to them driving around with faulty cars until they go in for their every other year safety road test.

Compare that to van drivers or sports car owners or car veterans that are slow adopters, who might catch a cars problem earlier and get it fixed before a safety test. Heck, just the fact that regular cars go into mechanics to get services more regularly will lead to problems being caught before a safety test.

This doesn't really say that Teslas have more problems, more so that Teslas drive around with problems for longer than other types of cArs.
"journalism"
Auth0 jacked up their prices for enterprise SSO after a very low number of integrations. Previously they were much more affordable.
"Business" sucks then. This is sociopathic behavior.
You get it!

This is the correct answer. The people who have never had jobs in their lives wanted control of a 100B company.

What a pleasant career trajectory. Heck it was already great to go from graduated university -> board of OpenAI. If that's possible why not CEO?
No. It's better but still stresses the battery when loading to 100%. Best is to load slowly (or so that the battery doesn't get too warm) to 80% or 90%.
LaTeX was great for its time but it should have died long ago. Typst is such a pleasure to use in comparison. It's unfortunately not quite capable enough yet to use for my papers, but I very much hope that it finds success in the future.
There's no merit to the suit. MediaMatters reporting was accurate. The claim that "it was accurate, but lacked context", would open a flood gate of anti-journalistic suits.

They've filed it in the "conservative cases do well here!" fifth circuit, but it's hard to see how this passes any defamation test.

It happens to me with my work Google account under a Google Workspace plan. I also lose data. We've filed a couple tickets on the matter and they state they don't know what's going on and recommended I use Chrome instead.
I wouldn’t expend any energy worrying about it. It’s meant to shut off before causing any damage. And even if you could slightly extend the life by babying the battery, who cares, you can trivially replace the 3DS battery for cheap.
The speculations are rampant precisely because the board has said absolute nothing since the leadership transition announcement on Friday.

If they had openly given literally any imaginable reason to fire Sam Altman, the ratio of employees threatening to quit wouldn't be as high as 95% right now.
When someone has a giant gaping wound you don't need an expert to understand what it is.

Interesting. I thought government was there to serve the people not to be an adversary. No wonder our tax code is so convoluted.
One of my pet peeves is how people get so dismissive about limiting their battery charge. People will even get defensive, as if it is a personal attack or something. Empirical evidence has shown time and time again that it is a-matter-of-fact that stopping charge at 80% will prolong a lithium-ion battery. [1][2][3]

I mean, it’s one thing to be believe that it is “too inconvenient” or that “life’s too short to micromanage my phone battery”, and another to blatantly spread lies that stopping charge at 80% is a “myth” with no benefit. And maybe that “micromanagement” argument was true 5 years ago, but nowadays nearly every device can automatically limit charge levels, e.g.:

iPhone 15 and above

iPhone 14 and below with a smart-plug[4]

Most Samsung phones/tablets

Sony phones/tablets

Any rooted Android

Any decent EV

Windows: Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Microsoft laptops

MacOS through AlDente[5]

Linux: TLP for most manufacturers[6]

And honestly if your device can’t automatically limit charge, I concede it probably isn’t worth the micromanagement. But those kinds of devices have small, cheap, and easy to replace batteries anyway.

It’s a heck of a lot different to drive to the Apple Store and spend $250 for a MacBook battery versus the $30 battery and half hour of work for Nintendo Switch.

> Non-contradicted statements made multiple times by Microsoft both now and prior to this brouhaha.

The statements I've seen don't match what is claimed, which is why I asked for one that did.
To answer your question, basically all of the current narrative has been driven by Sam and his followers, and whatever else happens, it's been a sickening confirmation of the fears the board had when they fired Sam to begin with. Sam Altman is not capable of honoring the original mission of OpenAI; to ensure AI benefits all of humanity. Sam Altman is only concerned with benefitting himself, and those that are loyal to him.

We all saw it, the false deadlines, the endless media pressure outside the company, the pressure inside the company to make everyone sign some worthless letter before all the facts had time to come out.

Still, the board still has a winning move; just wait it out. In time, cooler heads will prevail.

Look, we still don't know where this is all going, but even what we do know is concerning. This article captures some of the nuance in this situation: https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/story/2023-11-20...

Specifically, the shady dealings with Saudi Arabia, and Sam's pattern of lying and manipulation(See https://www.newcomer.co/p/give-openais-board-some-time-the for more details).

And I think this is why the board's job is so tough. There isn't a smoking gun here. Rather, Sam's vision for OpenAI is much different from the board's. The board believes in their mission, to ensure AI benefits all of humanity. Meanwhile, Sam has been treating OpenAI like yet another startup, the exact thing OpenAI was founded to counter.

We'll get the full details in time, but my guess is we're going to hear about a gradual breakdown in communication, sleight lies, omissions, and half truths, all of which impeded the boards ability to oversee the for-profit company, and thus caused them to lose trust in Sam's ability to lead.

I guess the alternative is to believe that 4 rational human beings colluded, risking their lives and integrity to oust Sam from OpenAI. Maybe that is what happened? Ilya certainly didn't mind backtracking when he saw the cost of the cure, but he's a smart guy, he didn't just side with the board because they tricked him. Based on everything I've read about Sam, I think it's just as likely he played fast and loose, and got burned in the process.

> For what its worth, banks don't just co-mingle customer funds, they invest those funds on their own behalf and reap the profits for themselves.

And that is why banks are regulated, must register, follow certain rules etc.

> Kraken has been operating under the money transmitter licensing scheme for a decade

Yeah, but that doesn't give them a license to operate a securities exchange, or a bank. How many other money transmitters (that are not registered securities exchanges or banks) have 'tokens for sale' like Kraken?
$639 is for a Core i7-1165G7 with a defective display and doesn’t include RAM, SSD, or wireless card.

The government isn't in the business of deciding what is or isn't good "journalism". That's kind of the point.

Also, if it were so far from the truth, maybe those companies wouldn't have pulled their ads. They probably verified it themselves.
