Maybe it's BS corporate gibberish, I don't know. But Sam has always struck me as an honorable person who genuinely cares. I don't think he's vindictive; I think he genuinely supports them. You can disagree immensely and still respect each other – this isn't about money, it's potentially about the world's future, and Sam likely understands what happened better than we do.

Here I know it get too complicated for many: I admit, Israel had something coming. I don't support attacks on civilians. Those two statements can be simultaneously true.

Israel is an apartheid state. Hamas is a terror organisation, I don't agree with the actions of Israel. I don't agree with the actions of Hamas. I think Palestines have the right to resist. I don't think anyone, Hamas or Israel, has the right to attack innocent civilians.

I've been hacking on an Apple ][ over the past few weeks. It runs on a 6502 processor. It's kind of mind-blowing to know that the thing used to run an entire PC was later used for pocket toys like the Tamagotchi a handful of years later. The speed at which technology has improved will never cease to amaze me.
I don’t think GDP is meant to be used on a personal level to measure happiness, nor do I think anyone is suggesting that as a valid use.
I'm a senior dev, and generally reserved. I will make a suggestion once if I think it's worth pursuing, but never again. Louder devs get their way over me often. I don't mind. It's exhausting defending your reasoning to people who want to shout theirs instead of reason things out calmly and quietly together.

If you're happy with his "good player"ness, then leave him the hell alone. People trying to crack me out of my shell "because reasons" get an opposing and forceful response from me. I hate feeling manipulated against my will, and if you want me to be some sort of performative marionette and not a coder, then we're not right for each other, and I will be leaving soon.

Weigh where you value this developer. Not everyone gives a hang about "contributing to the company's progress" in the macro, and are content with micro problems.

I say this as a Sr. who has been somehow railroaded into a Lead/Management role that I loathe, and it has ruined a great situation for me, and it will soon ruin it for my employer. And my manager doesn't understand my objections, as many times as I have told him.

$0.02. Have you bothered to ask this dev if his quietness is indicative of anything other than his shyness and reservedness that you already knew and are somehow not respecting? Maybe Email it and await his response. It might blow your hair back. The howler you'd get from me, if I respected you enough to be honest, would certainly adjust your posture. :)

Is that past an aberration or rather something we're actively destroying? We spent literally trillions of dollars on Iraq. By the time Israel and Ukraine are done, we'll also be into the trillions there. This is money that could have been used to have improve society in countless ways.

Get humanity to Mars? Sure, it's literally a rounding error on the scale of the money we completely squander. Fund a million startups? Sure, why not? A trillion bucks can offer a million dollars to a million startups, which is kind of mind boggling to even think about. One can think of near to any cause, and they could all be exceptionally well funded with all the money we waste on war and geopolitics. Because war has this amazing magic trick. It can take a trillion dollars and just make it disappear, like it never existed, with nothing to show for it. Houdini couldn't hold a candle to that sort of wizardry.
> Did you take the history lessons into account, or it's business as usual?

Did we take the same history lessons? Lots of what led to the fall of the Roman Empire has been happening in USA the past few decades. And then we have China literally opium-warring us with fentanyl and killing tens of thousands of US citizens each year. But yeah, count on the cool shiny AI and space exploration to save the US.

Maybe the distinction here would be one of which scope the respective maintainer cares about. For Shopify MySQL is mostly a black box, they don't need to re-implement their own atomic commit protocol, network partition detection etc., since MySQL did that for them. Implementors of MySQL did have to solve these distributed systems problems though and pick their CAP trade-offs, but I guess that's not the scope Shopify cares about here.
>Had they been effective at enforcing the charter they would have not folded all of their power to someone they view does not enforce the charter. There is nothing they could have done to fail more.

How specifically do you suggest they should have "not folded all of their power"? Are you saying they should have stuck to their guns when it came to firing Sam?

In any case, it's not obvious to me that the board actually lost the showdown. Remember, they ignored multiple "deadlines" from OpenAI employees threatening to quit, and the new board doesn't have Sam or Greg on it -- it seems to be genuinely independent. Lots of people were speculating that Sam would gain complete control of the board as an outcome of this. I don't think that happened.

Some are saying that the new board has zero leverage to fire the CEO at this point, since Sam showed us what he can do. However, the new board says they are doing an independent investigation into this incident. So they have the power to issue a press release, at least. And that press release could make a big difference -- to the SEC and other federal regulators, for example.
I would ask what % of slaves in that period, as children, could read? Much of the rest of this web page assumes slave literacy is normal, and certainly if the child is enslaved to a cult, you would expect that their future life is to perform tasks in the cult which may well demand literacy (unless their life is nasty, brutish and short).

An educated slave was more valuable. Presumably either born into the status, or acquired, being a literate slave had value.
They did reveal that in an earlier post only 3 above this one, to be fair. It would get a bit tedious adding a disclaimer to every comment.

You can't just move to the midwest and become a farmer. Particularly if you don't have incredible financial mobility in the first place. The cost of land alone is immense and that isn't factoring in equipment.

I'm sorry but most of your comment has nothing to do to what I said, and seems like random rambling. Except:

> 3.2% is absolutely peanuts to what it was some 3-4 decades ago.

But 3-4 decades ago governments, all institutions and economy as as whole were not so much in debt. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GFDEGDQ188S . And this chart doesn't include all the "unfunded liabilities".

You can hike rates to curb the inflation only if it doesn't bankrupt everything and everyone.

And 3-4 decades ago boomers globally were ahead of most productive years of their lives, without the "baggage" of tons of kids and globalization had plenty of room ahead to increase productivity.

I don't want to waste time talking about nonsense like AI and "space exploration". The financial system is screwed. That's all I'm saying.

> meme-ing with little actual specific policy substance behind it.

This is a good point. Can we really say for certain that “bombing noncombatant countries both during a war and after a treaty was signed” is a war crime, and even if it were would “coming up with the whole idea” even count as contributing to something like that? It is confusing stuff like this that has led to no person ever being convicted for war crimes — the concept is too nebulous and complex to nail down.

Surely if Kissinger were a war criminal he would have said so in the books that he wrote

The APE shell script needs to run /bin/mkdir in order to map the embedded ELF executable in memory. It should be possible for you to work around this on Linux by installing our binfmt_misc interpreter:

sudo wget -O /usr/bin/ape https://cosmo.zip/pub/cosmos/bin/ape-$(uname -m).elf
sudo sh -c "echo ':APE:M::MZqFpD::/usr/bin/ape:' >/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register"
sudo sh -c "echo ':APE-jart:M::jartsr::/usr/bin/ape:' >/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register"

That way the only file you'll need to whitelist with Nix is /usr/bin/ape. You could also try just vendoring the 8kb ape executable in your Nix project, and simply executing `./ape ./llamafile`.

As bad as the mob mentality is on HN, I think it is much worse on Twitter. I got a bunch of upvotes here on HN for linking the charter and pointing out that terminating OpenAI as an organization would be quite consistent with the charter. I didn't see the same point getting much play on Twitter at all.

I think the fact that upvotes are hidden on HN actually helps reduce the mob mentality a significant amount. Humans have a strong instinct to join whichever coalition appears to be most powerful. Hiding vote counts makes it harder to identify the currently-popular coalition, which nudges people towards actually thinking for themselves.

To execute it. Kissinger didn’t execute. He relayed. It’s a subtle, frustrating but—I think—necessary distinction to preserve the sanctity of the term required to prosecute heads of state, a novel concept in its own right.
Not sure if correlated to happiness, but I wonder if we can measure the % of population who gives a f** in a country.

Before Henry Kissinger, there were walls in the world - just as there are now. The difference was those walls - by-and-large - were designed to keep people _in_.

I depends on what we mean when we say “serious work” but from an European enterprise perspective you would not use OpenAI for “serious work”, you would use Microsoft products.

Co-pilot is already much more refined in terms of business value than the various OpenAI products. If you’ve never worked in a massive organisation you probably wouldn’t believe the amount of efficiency it’s added to meetings by being able to make readable PowerPoints or useful summaries by recoding a meeting, but it’s going to save us trillion of euro just for that.

Then there is there data protection issues with OpenAI. You wouldn’t put anything important into their products, but you would with Microsoft. So co-pilot can actually help with things like contract management, data-refinement and so on.

Of course it’s sort of silly to say that you aren’t buying OpenAI products when you’re buying them through Microsoft, but the difference is there. But if you included Microsoft in your statement, then I agree, there is no competition. I like Microsoft as a IT-business partner for Enterprise, I like them a lot, but it also scares me a little how much of a monopoly on “office” products they have now. There was already little to no competition to Office365 and now there is just none whatsoever.
Numbers still go up for whatever human sits at the top, that's the demand. But the general principle of demand and supply exists even among AI internally. AI trading bots are their own economy, it would be the same for intelligent robot factories. They will have demand for things no different from a human that has a demand for food, robots need to be repaired, maintained. They will produce whatever they were told to produce. This is even without any human or human level intelligence involved. Once robots are truly as intelligent as humans they can even have entirely fanciful demands like buying cards or flowers.

And they've had to get bigger to be stronger, and need to be stronger due to increased size and weight of modern vehicles. I'm not saying it's not an issue. But I am saying "Thanks, Obama" for the CAFE regulations passed under him that pushed OEMs to make larger and larger vehicles - because a larger footprint leads to less stringent fuel consumption requirements.
Writing unit tests is the most effective use of copilot hands-down.

For pure functions, it is 100% correct and complete essentially 100% of the time, allowing me to write descriptive test names and nothing more. Even when mocks or spies have to come into the picture, it is usually 95% accurate. The key is that you should always have the file you are testing open in an editor tab, as well as another test class that demonstrates the testing style you want it to emulate.

Forget everything else about Copilot, it's worth the cost for this alone. Time writing tests reduced ~80%. They could remove all other functionality and rebrand it as Test Copilot, and they would still get my money.
Nope, there is randomness. Similarly I can run a rand() function. But is that free will?
