Satya's main mistake was not having a spot on the board. Everything after that was in defense of the initial investment, and he played all the right moves.

While having OpenAI as a Microsoft DeepMind would have been an ok second-best solution, the status quo is still better for Microsoft. There would have been a bunch of legal issues and it would be a hit on Microsoft's bottom line.

Didn’t read the article, but I agree with the title lol
For type 2 diabetes. This isn't about insulin; it's the same class as Ozempic. So it manages hunger and weight and other hormonal responses, but it doesn't fix a broken pancreas.

Which is great, and there are more T2D patients than T1D. But the clue is in the title: type 1 diabetes is about a lot more than "daily shots".
While this is not great, there's a silver lining. It's rather straightforward for men to increase their attractiveness. Bathe, get clothes that fit, workout. In that order.

Last I checked, there was no easy way to opt out of telemetry in PowerToys. I uninstalled it.
In this case, I don't see as a flaw, but really as Sam's abilities to lead a highly cohesive group and keep it highly motivated and aligned.

I don't personally like him, but I must admit he displayed a lot more leadership skills than I'd recognize before.

It's inherently hard to replace someone like that in any organization.

Take Apple, after losing Jobs. It's not that Apple was a "weak" organization, but really Jobs that was extraordinary and indeed irreplaceable.

No, I'm not comparing Jobs and Sam. Just illustrating my point.
> There's questions that begs to be asked- if we don't trust such "ai" (ie. software), why give it such level of control at all?

If AI is only slightly less stupid than we are, that doesn't bode well for us.
Besides what the others said, the new clean one supports a whole host of additional websites, is updated more regularly, and generally works better. I think my biggest issue with the clean one is that it's not on any of the add-on/extension stores, and it's unclear why it was removed from the add-on/extension store.
Spot on. Huge impact on society and politics. And governments unable to ride their own tigers in the US or China. Europe has no tiger to ride but is trying to whip the US and Chinese tigers. I wish them much luck since they are most likely to moderate the rate of creative destruction.
At least several decades, I’d say. This is a hugely complex, multifaceted problem. LLMs can’t even write half-decent screenplays yet.
Yeah this lawsuit doesn't have a chance but I do think there's an interesting observation in there that these platforms aren't price takers like they ought to be in a more competitive market. I don't think anyone expects there to be perfect competition but the pricing power Sony and others enjoy to just set their margin I think is indicative that something has gone wrong.

There are some people who just waste their money, but there are also a wide difference in the value people get from their cars and computers. Someone billing $500 per hour is going to be a lot more willing to upgrade their computer for even a small improvement. They may even keep a spare computer just to make sure they have minimum downtime if something goes wrong. Someone who just uses their computer to watch youtube videos may be fine keeping their computer until it stops working.
I have an 8GB M1 Air for the sole reason that I was so excited I decided to go with the model I could get on release day instead of waiting a month. Not the wisest decision.

I figured I'd replace it at M2, and then at M3. But to be honest even with the 8GB it's fine enough still. I don't use it for much heavy lifting but it works ok-ish for that in a pinch. And for day to day personal use it's fine. So every year I go through the cycle where I *want* to replace it and then convince myself I don't really need it. I already have a monster machine for my work stuff, having extra horsepower for my personal machine would be nice but ....

I'm sure M4 is the generation I'll upgrade. Just wait :)

> Yeah, um, I was there for Silverlight and Web Forms.

Silverlight's demise was inevitable along with the death of Flash and WebForms is a 20+ year old technology that was focused on retaining a Desktop App development model for the Web, an inferior abstraction which would have never lasted. Blazor is unlike either and delivers a great UX OOB.

> You can still dump out perfectly good dynamic content with Razor and MVC.

and you always will be, Blazor just has a superior component and development model, an official API for statically rendering components outside a Web Framework context and will eventually be what most of .NET will be using.

Feel free to use whatever makes you happy, we still heavily use Razor Pages + SSG for our (CDN hosted) statically generated websites + docs, but will be predominantly using Blazor for new .NET Web Apps.

i don't get it. just read the text and all i find is a murky association of iron levels and some fuzzy interpretation of the term "memory".
I wonder if that argues more to AI vs. Human "editing." It seems to me that an AI would be less likely to catch that when it's composing a story from sources in the Internet.
I was there for silverlight and web forms as well. Web Forms had to die IMHO, it was unnecessary abstraction for those who didn't want to learn web. Silverlight on the other had was not (in my opinion) killed by MS but by browser vendors. It was the same time when flash and other plugin based tech died because browser vendors didn't want to support browser plugins.

On the other had MS gave Silverlight 10 years of support when they announced the death of the tech, MS couldn't do anything else about it. If they waited long enough they could have ported silverlight to wasm today. I think there was a company offering dev tools for compiling silverlight to js and wasm, not sure if they are still around.
No, and don't put words in my mouth. There's nothing business as usual about genocide. Neither are the people of the Balkans so flippant, none of this is forgotten. There's an awful lot of talk about "moving on" here, though, which is radically unsympathetic to the people who live across the Balkans who, for the last century, have had their lives and livelihood threatened seemingly every 30 years or so, one way or another.
Net privacy wars will be with us always. Let's set some rules
We're talking about journalism, not website hosting. You pay a reporter to find out about a story, the journalist writes up a story and puts it in their company's paper. Some stories are wire stories that everyone is allowed to copy, some stories are not.

You can report on a story that another news outlet covered, but you can't just copy+paste it into your blog, because Laws[1]. Doesn't matter how much money it cost or what your hosting provider is, there are things you can and can't do with "information".

Moreover, depending on a search engine to find you news is a lot like going to a news stand near your house to find news. It's only going to show you the news that has paid enough to get its information out there front and center. SEO today pretty much guarantees that the one with the most money wins.

This alone isn't surprising, but what I really want to know is if this hit is something fundamentally wrong with Windows or is it the overhead of all of the stuff that Windows runs that doesn't need to run, since it mentions "out of the box" windows.

Is the performance difference as large on a LTSC version of Windows 10? If it needs something in Windows 11, would it be as big of a difference on the LTSC version of Windows 11 when that comes out (I know we can't answer this at the moment)?

I would never use Windows on a server, but I am very curious about where the difference really is.

Part of why I am really curious is that on my Steam Deck I run the LTSC version of Windows 10 and got better performance on my games on Windows 10 vs SteamOS. That is just gaming, but it has made me more curious about what the reality is.

Really exciting findings. Especially given that just last year there were similar threads here where many completely rejected the idea that the gut is a second brain. We live in a very exciting time for science. Especially given we have some initial tools for understanding our guts.
This is behind a paywall.

On the surface, this looks correct. We should have autonomous cars. Makers should pay damages when they kill people, since the fault shifts from drivers to manufacturers. This should be part of the cost of doing business, and should be factored into the price of both the car and of insurance.

Tesla market cap is nearing a trillion dollars. A typical wrongful death lawsuit is around $1 million in damages. If autonomous cars reach 100% market share, and kill 40,000 people each year (the same as normal cars), that adds $40B each year to the cost of doing business, so O(1/20th) of Tesla's market cap.

If Tesla pays, this would also translate into lower insurance fees as well. Car prices go up slightly, but if safety is similar to human driving, total cost of car ownership remains the same. If autopilot is safer, cost goes down. If humans are safer, costs go up. There's a clear business upside to making safer cars, so Tesla invests there.

In any case, that's not enough to drive Tesla out-of-business, but it is enough to align incentives to make safe self-driving cars.
No, that's not fair. They're almost never in it for the money.

The people who orchestrate this stuff are exploiters who look for people who've been hurt by some experience, and use them to further their political causes and perhaps their careers. Usually, by looking for people who've been hurt, these exploiters of course end up finding the people who are, at least at some particular time and place, most susceptible to being hurt by such an experience. So they end up with extreme cases.

I guess you could say the people they recruit are "weak willed", but that's both unproductive and mostly wrong. It makes it sound like they're profoundly different from everybody else, and they're not. People's reactions to experiences are conditional on all kinds of things. You can be "weak willed" one day and not on another. And if you think you're unconditionally "strong willed", you're probably deluding yourself.

Anyway, the exploiters groom the victims they find into feeling more hurt, into self-perpetuating obsessions over it, and into usually-not-very-productive ways of trying to deal with those. They increase both their sense of victimization and their actual victimhood, and they work to amplify the whole thing until it's life-consuming. They encourage the victims to believe they can get vindication and "closure" by filing lawsuits, or by putting on a show for the media or in front of legislators, or whatever else is convenient.

Maybe the worst part is that the exploiters mostly don't even realize they're exploiters. And many of them started out as victims themselves.
It's illegal only if you have the means to bring a lawsuit forward and reasonably prove this is happening, which is difficult without a full third-party audit of the codebase of the company.

Ubuntu is such a turn-off experience for servers. The cloud-init feature is atrocious.

You download a "server-live" iso. 2GB. However this uses the cloud-init to download the required files. Why did I download a 2GB file if your going to download it from the net anyway?

There is no option to not install from the net without removing network adapter.

Boggles me why am I being asked to upgrade my installer while installing, what's the point in that? "There is a new version on GitHub" ...

If your shipping an installer it should install. Not ask me to download a newer version. Why is there a new version, is the bundled version security ridden?

Well, I think that's really the question, isn't it?

Was it a mistake to create OpenAI as a public charity?

Or was it a mistake to operate OpenAI as if it were a startup?

The problem isn't really either one—it's the inherent conflict between the two. IMO, the only reason to see creating it as a 501(c)(3) being a mistake is if you think cutting-edge machine learning is inherently going to be targeted by people looking to make a quick buck off of it.

>How do i remove teams or the stupid weather badge from the task bar?

In the time you have written this rant/question here you could have typed it instead in Google, Copilot or ChatGPT and have gotten your answer already instead of falsely complaining that "its impossible to remove something" when it's not.

Yes, some things will always be unintuitive to the user that's new to any OS, but that's the issue with any other OS including MacOS and Linux distros when you're brand new to them and use it for the first time.

There's always gonna be a learning curve and you'll need to Google a bit to figure some stuff out in the beginning regardless of your OS of choice, but that's a long way from saying "it cannot be done" when the main issue is you can't be bothered to Google something basic.

Excuse the bluntness here in my comments, but how do people manage to get into highly paid technical careers while not being able to Google "how to remove X from Windows taskbar?".

Having just wrapped up Memory I found Time to be great. I thought Ruin was a slog, although I did love it at first. It was just a bad copy of the first. And while I thought the ending was telegraphed too much, I did enjoy how Memory was very different.

Came across a thread on Reddit recently about these three and many people made the point that Ruin & Memory are so different from each other in terms of sequels that which is the "good one" is a polarizing discussion.
I was thinking about this too, but the wife of an actor and someone two years out of her masters were not the caliber people that should have been on the board of an $80B company.

I would expect people with backgrounds like Sheryl Sandberg or Dr. Lisa Sue to sit in the position. The two replaced women would have looked like diversity hires had they not been affiliated with an AI doomer organization.

I hope there’s diversity of representation as they fill out the rest of the board and there’s certainly women who have the credentials, but it’s important that they don’t appear grossly unqualified when they sit next to the other board members.
When you say Ubuntu I presume you mean the default Gnome version? If you're really looking to replace Windows then KDE (i.e. Kubuntu) is far closer in terms of UX and 22.04 is pretty solid in my experience. Still tedious at times of course.
Is there any evidence that gender is a primary determinant of "thought diversity"? I'd expect other factors, including age, upbringing, ethnicity, etc. have much more of an impact on diversity. A woman and a man who grew up in the same suburbs, went to the same school, have studied the same, etc. probably have very similar ideas on most topics than two men (or women for that matter) who have completely different upbringing.

If thought diversity is what matters, a much better determinant is probably geographical distribution in upbringing and unique educational paths and unique previous employments (all of which can just as easily be estimated by a resume as gender).

A VERY high percentage of ads are obnoxious. And a high enough percentage of ads are outright dangerous. Given that, using an ad blocker to keep yourself safe is a pretty sane choice. Even for sites that _try_ to have safe, sane ads; they're all using an ad network, and _that_ could get compromised, resulting in a dangerous payload (it's certain not an unknown occurrence).

It's very hard to justify showing any ads.
> Personally I'd like to see all this stuff hooked up to a GUI, with easily accessible docs for everything built in.

That is indeed something i’d also like to see more of, but the number of times when i needed the command line is quite low. Ironically I have more issues with my windows install on a very modern laptop - drivers suck, need to use the command line to disable windows built in spyware, file sharing is flakey and so on. My linux machines all work. Linux on the same laptop just works. Also linux not being a commercial os is expected to have some issues around the edges but overall it beats windows in all technical areas except where vendor lock in kicks in.
> My only complaints are that Linux can be tedious

After using Linux daily over 10 years now, this is exactly how I feel about Windows now. I instantly get frustrated any time I have to use Windows.
Additionally, when you have a pre-release product that has largely passed small and artificial tests, you get diminishing returns on continued testing.

Eventually you need to expand, despite some risk, to push the testing forward.

Everyone has a different opinion on what level of safety AI should reach before it's released. "Makes no mistakes" and "never says something mean" are not attainable goals vs "reduce the rate of hallucinations, as defined by x, to <0.5% of total respinses" and "given a set of known and imagined scenarios, new Model continues to have a zero false-negative rate".

When it's an engineering problem we're trying to solve, we can mqke progress, but no company can avoid all forms of harm as defined by everyone.
Sounds like you burned out by choice. As long as it is supported and meets your needs, keep using it even if it is 20 years old.

yes and no. There has be diversity of thought to ever get anything done really, ever everyone is just sycophants all agreeing with the boss then you end up with very bad product choices, and even worse company direction.

yes there has to be some commonality. some semblance of shared vision or values, but I dont think that makes a "monoculture"

Arch can be made easier if you use Manjaro[0], for example. I used Manjaro for years before switching to Mac, and it was rock stable. I had Timeshift[1] installed and set up to be able to roll back just in case I messed something up.

It sounds like you're working on a mature C++ codebase, so yeah, good reason to stick with that. But I'm curious whether you feel it's worth spending effort on this discipline, outside of working on a particular codebase?

I don't know C++, but being freed from making effort to avoid a class of bugs was easily enough for me to learn Rust instead (not that this was the only reason).
