If you have enough of a bond, I'd have a chat with him. I'd explain that as a smart person and valued member of the team his verbal output would really help. I'd say his perspective would be great to hear more as you know he has the skills to have good judgement. Obviously this would need tailored to the person at hand but, I have had good results with this method.

Ultimately they may never be the most chatty member of the team but some output is far better than none and encourages the contribution to grow.
Yep, this is spot on. The entire concept of a mission driven non profit with a for profit subsidiary just wasn't workable. It was a nice idea, a nice try, but an utter failure.

The silver lining is that this should clear the path to proper regulation, as it's now clear that this self-regulation approach was given a go, and just didn't work.
Gray goo next. Please stop this madness and quickly regulate this before we are doomed (:

It's called "spin" in a press release/marketing, but we on the outside call it a lie, yes.

It wouldn't shock me to learn all of the events that took place were to get worldwide attention, and strengthen their financial footprint. I'd imagine not being able to be fired, and having the entire company ready to quit to follow you, sends a pretty clear signal to all VC that hitching your cart to any other AI wagon is suicide, because the bulletproof ceo has literally the people at the cutting edge of the entire market ready to go wherever he does. How could anyone give funding to a company besides his at this point? Might as well catch it on fire if you're going to give it to someone else's company.
Same thing I said to the other guy:

Irrelevant. Also, not absolutely true.

My post isn't about the US. I said this much in my note at the very top.

Don't divert the conversation towards irrelevant US-specific details.

Where your statement isn't true is in that there are myriad taxes and other proposals and laws people vote for that only affect someone locally. For example, the dopes in our area voted to tax ever square foot of property that blocks rain from making contact with raw dirt. Someone in Australia could vote for that measure. It would not affect them one bit.

There's so much that never even touches income taxes, which is what would affect people living abroad. And, in reality, there are foreign income tax credits and other rules that change the tax equation for anyone living outside of the US.

And then there's the political/ideological allegiance element I mentioned. A citizen from country A emigrates to country B and retains voting rights in country A. Knowing they are not coming back and wanting to benefit their new country, B, they vote for measures and politicians in country A that would benefit country B.

How is that a good idea?

Again, get away from US-centric thinking here. This is about the general idea of the relationship between countries A and B, when a citizen who can vote in A's elections permanently relocates to country B.
>He had an incredible knack for playing along with whatever insane idea somebody had and made everybody in the room feel goddamned brilliant. The richest, most powerful, and most beautiful people in the world just loved being around him because he consistently sounded interesting and made them feel intelligent.

You call that ass-kissing, others may call it diplomacy. He may have furthered his own interests but did he also further the interests of the US more effectively than most could?
This is good news but to sustain (or even increase) this growth, the US needs to address the housing crisis. The housing shortage is best viewed not so much as too few homes overall nationally, but too few homes in job-rich regions where people want to work and live. Hsieh and Morrietti estimated the resulting spatial misallocation of labor lowered aggregate GDP growth by 50% between 1964 and 2009:

https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w21154/w211...

That is, businesses can’t find the needed local workers to expand, and workers lack access to good paying jobs. Remote work is helping, but still, the problem is estimated to have gotten much worse recently with the surge in home prices over the last 15 years.

TLDR: fix the housing problem, and the economy will be able to sustain higher growth.
If that time line had materialized you might not have been around to read it :)

But it's an interesting thought. Howard Hughes came close to having that kind of power and Musk has more or less eclipsed him now. Sam Altman could easily eclipse both, he seems to be better at power games (unfortunately, but that's what it is). Personally I think people that are that power hungry should be kept away from the levers of real power as much as possible because they will use it if the opportunity presents itself.

If you use Apple CarPlay or connect your iPhone to Bluetooth Apple Maps will remember where you parked your car once you disconnect. I use this feature quite a bit to know how far I have to walk back to the car when I’m out on a hike.

The crazy thing about this is that the folks calling Kissinger out for war crimes and the folks like you pointing out the good things he enabled both have a valid point.

I'm not saying his legacy is positive or negative overall, but folks need to look at both sides of it. He's a great example of someone who had a major hand in a lot of major decisions and has a very very mixed legacy because of it.

Things are much blurrier than we make them out to be these days. Anyone who has a major impact often has significant positive and negative impacts. Kissinger was not a one sided character.

And with that said, I can't believe I just defended Henry Kissinger, but it's still worth saying...

I've used Aider <https://aider.chat> a fair amount, and I have read about Paul's experiments with different "diff producing" methods. I think a good avenue to experiment is two-pass. First, ask the LLM to output only the changed code, then (in a separate conversion) as the LLM just to update the relevant lines with the change the first LLM provided. I suspect this would clear up a lot of the "LLM failed to transcribe old code" and "diff isn't well-formed" errors that this tool has.
At a minimum it will automate which will increase productivity and almost certainly increase aggregate supply.

In a more AI maximal case it will solve new problems, the increase in GDP from this case is very large.

I don't really think we need more thought and discussion on creative structures for "governance" of this technology. We already have governance; we call them governments, and we elect a bunch of representatives to run them, we don't rely on a few people on a self-appointed non profit board.
It might be that there was no net outflow of customers. I am sure customers quit all the time, and others sign up. It probably means that they either didn't see a statistical relevant increase in churn, or that the amount of excess quits was compensated by excess new customers.
Great link!

I wonder whether we look at this with new eyes in light of the recent discussions in Congress around UAP.

I think it illuminates the profound insight of Ellsberg’s commentary if, even for the sake of argument, you entertain the idea of non-human life being amongst that information and then, as he describes, imagine sitting and being briefed on any number of topics from any number of perspectives knowing that you know there to be non-human life, that they don’t, and that if they did they would see the world very differently as you have come to.

Of course I think Ellsberg’s perspective holds regardless of what that significant unknown information is (so long as it is significant) - true might of adversaries, how close we’ve come to various failure scenarios, what tech we’ve actually developed, who shot Kennedy etc.
I don't think vertical integration should be made illegal, and "Amazon Web Services offer exclusive Amazon-designed chips" doesn't to me seem like an abuse of monopoly power any more than "Apple iPhones use exclusive Apple-designed chips" does.

IMO cosmopolitan libc is a "really neat trick". And it deserves praise and it probably does have some real use cases. But it's not practical for most purposes. If we had a format like ELF that was so fat as to support as many architectures and OSs as desired, would we be using that? I have a feeling that we would not.

Then again -- after having used "zig cc" for a while, maybe it would be reasonable to have something like "one build" that produces a mega-fat binary.

And the microarch-specific dispatch is a nice touch.

...maybe I'm convincing myself of the alternative....

Ford doesn't do this, but at the same time I find it hilariously suspicious that despite the success of the Maverick, there doesn't seem to be any messaging about increasing capacity. And I say that because even as an early adopter -most- problems have been in the 'I can still drive it' category. And yet they won't increase production.
They're saying that ~80% of OpenAI employees were determined to follow Sam to Microsoft and continue their work on GPT at Microsoft. They're saying this actually signals stability, as the majority of makers were determined to follow a leader to continue making the thing they were making, just in a different house. They're saying that while OpenAI had some internal tussling, the actual technology will see progress under whatever regime and whatever name they can continue creating the technology with/as.

At the end of the day, when you're using a good or service, are you getting into bed with the good/service? Or the company who makes it? If you've been buying pies from Anne's Bakery down the street, and you really like those pies, and find out that the person who made the pies started baking them at Joe's Diner instead, and Joe's Diner is just as far from your house and the pies cost about the same, you're probably going to go to Joe's Diner to get yourself some apple pie. You're probably not going to just start eating inferior pies, you picked these ones for a reason.
"International war crimes courts" do not prosecute treason.

And it isn't about the personnel being "above" anything. It's simply that the ICC is not a court and does not respect due process, so we do not subject American citizens to it (and indeed it would be an interesting Constitutional question as to whether that's even truly possible).

From a more pragmatic perspective, as long as Russia and China don't recognize the ICC's authority, it would be a major global strategic blunder to impose checks and balances only on the United States.

My mechanic who specialises in Euro cars told me to avoid buying one, for one piece of anecdata.
Yeah, I totally agree! Like, this is such an obviously true and valid reason to fire him, but they never came out and said it! So ... is this not what it actually was? Or ... what? It truly is mystifying.
For me at least I do all of my development on the command line, so it's just much easier to use the git CLI instead of switching between applications. And regardless, basically all the commands I run (moving between commits and rebasing, mainly) can be done just as fast or faster with the CLI, with the added benefit of being able to see and retrieve your command history to easily redo actions.

I kind of have the opposite question - what benefit does a GUI have for git? If your tree gets super complex I get how a GUI makes it easier to navigate, but if you only have a couple branches it seems easy enough to just view in terminal.
Thanks for your report, we have fixed the issue.

A supporting note - my first thought was "well the author wants to work in CTF/pentesting situations where root access might not be available" but it tuns out that https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nix_Installation_Guide#Installing_wi... is pretty well covered these days. At that point the only thing is that nix is complex enough that it might be easier to invent your own package manager than to master nix[0].

> People (in general) prefer sitting higher up and being in bigger vehicles

I don't think that in isolation people broadly prefer bigger vehicles, but in the context of other people having bigger vehicles, a circular problem exists, with people feeling like they're in ever increasing danger behind the wheel if they have a small car but are surrounded by behemoths. If it weren't contextually dependent, I don't think it would be a relatively recent phenomenon, since big vehicles have always been available, and I think you'd see people getting large vehicles despite what's common around them, in terms of both geography and what's on the road. I'd prefer a larger vehicle if I was driving around polar bear country, and I think every other car on the road in North America is a metaphorical polar bear.

Look up GDP, unemployment rates, and inflation rates during the Great Depression and then tell us GDP and unemployment are vanity metrics.

I think you actually might not know how good you have it.
Is this nominal or real GPD? It's not surprising that GDP can grow in a high inflation environment, doesn't mean anyone is better off for it.
That depends. Do you want to avoid the Thompson back door? Maybe a 6502 or an 1802 with flippety switches and blinken lights can be verified not to be compromised.
> If he was a "war criminal" as many here claim, why wasn't he ever prosecuted or convicted?

Kissinger himself said many times that relations between states aren't based on morality, so people who act in the name of states can't be bound by international laws. It's an idea that is the basis of the realist philosophy. A lot of people in the the foreign policy establishment share that view.

The USA for example supports the International criminal court, but not for its citizens, so Kissinger can never be prosecuted like Milošević. Those who say the ICC is just an instrument of power are not entirely wrong.
What's amazing about it if the debt increased more in the absolute terms? :D . If I max out credit cards I can at least show spending (GDP) growth at least the same as what I borrowed...

How is it not obvious to everyone that this is the end game? Increasing rates will rapidly increase debt, which increases inflation, which pushes increasing rates ...
Building products on top of their platform and then getting mad that they continue to add and improve said platform with additional functionality (without knowing their product roadmap in advance) seems petty. If they’re able to eat their customers lunch so quickly, it’s because the customers are building very thin and weak businesses with no actual innovation.

Those standards are pretty silly, even without the loopholes. They should just tax CO2 emissions (or petrol), and let the market sort it out.

Sticks (not throttles) mechanically linked to each other do indeed give feedback indicating there is a problem when the two sticks conflicted, compared to, it seems, the Airbus concept, which did not.

I see no reason the intuition here isn't correct: it's better to know about this problem when flying than to not know about it. Stories about throttles or automation are a distraction from what we're talking about: mechanically linked sticks.

On that note (back on topic), I still couldn't find any evidence of the crash mentioned above, but maybe I'm just searching wrong. Does anybody know about this crash supposedly caused by Boeing sticks being mechanically linked?

Git is complicated. You’ll also probably only use 10% of it unless you’re writing Git tooling as part of your work.

One does not simply understand “just Git”. One also is not a poor excuse for a developer for not bothering to understand the 90% of Git that is never even used in a day to day workflow, and it’s not really true that an average developer struggles to understand the 10% of Git that they need to know to do their jobs.

I am not religious but Kissinger makes me want to believe in hell just so I can fall asleep with the comforting thought that Kissinger is burning in hell forever. He deserves nothing less, rest in piss, Kissinger.
