Altman began approaching other board members, individually, about replacing her. When these members compared notes about the conversations, some felt that Altman had misrepresented them as supporting Toner’s removal. “He’d play them off against each other by lying about what other people thought”, the person familiar with the board’s discussions told me.

As a civilian, I'm surprised to learn, with all the technical improvements in mountaineering gear, that frostbite on gloved hands is still an unsolved problem.
That is exactly the way that I see it too.

While Onyx does have core library support for doing standard POSIX things like stdin/stdout/stderr, file operations, and networking, Onyx can be used in an entirely different environment without any of these things. In fact, the standard libraries are (almost) entirely separate from the compiler (i.e. the compiler makes no assumptions about what the standard library is), so if the standard library does not suite your use case for one reason or another, you can write your own. It will be a bit of work, but there would be nothing in your way.
No need (and who wants to be lied to, anyway?), the behavior observed was quite telling.
If you want an absolute beast, especially for this stuff, you probably want Intel + Nvidia. Apple Silicon is a beast in power efficiency but a top of the line M3 does not come close to the top of the line Intel + Nvidia combo.

They didn't say what CPU they're using. Sapphire/Emerald Rapids sucks so it's either Genoa, Bergamo, or Ampere One.
This looks interesting. But I'm confused by the DiskANN reference. DiskANN uses NGT as their ANN graph, but Arroy (the purported tech) uses random projections.
>N: This refers to the redundancy of the power and cooling systems. "N" stands for "Need" or "Normal." In data center design, "N" is used to denote the capacity required to support the IT load. "1N" implies a single path for power and cooling, with no built-in redundancy. In other words, each component necessary to support the IT equipment is present, but there is no backup if one of these components fails.

I'm pretty sure this is wrong. N means "node", so a 2U4N is a 2U chassis that houses 4 servers. I'm pretty ambivalent for this reason for using chatgpt for research in things I cannot easily verify. I will admit this is a scarily convincing hallucination.

>it's also breeding resentment because of assumptions by "outlanders" that learning local norms and language is optional to the point Dutch speakers can feel strangers in their own land.

I was wondering about this too; did not see any charts/data/observations of it in the article. I thought outlanders assimilate to become inlanders, but it looks like that takes a long time and presents as social tensions: "What do you want the country to look like, in a reasonably forward-looking way?"
The research wasn't done by them — it was paid for by the US gov't and developed at US labs. ASML were given the research knowing that it could work.

It disappears if your customers have reliable networks, and they are either close enough to the datacenter that the database is in, or you have sufficiently smart database replication. So, often, the problem comes back, but you're synchronizing between datacenters.

Running server-side does seem to be one of the problems SQLSync wants to handle? I wonder how well it does at that compared to other ways of doing it?

Yes, I know multiple engineers at Google without a degree. I've had offers from most of FAANG (including Google) without a degree.
I'm not sure what aspect of this conversation is "low intelligence", but automotive technician salary data doesn't often match reality where techs can (and often do) make close to double their "official" salary in side jobs. I'm a full-time engineering manager at a startup in LA, and I do repair gigs in my garage during the evenings and on weekends--all word-of-mouth referrals from former and returning customers. I've made a shade over $30k after expenses this year doing 2-3 jobs a week. Most are catalytic converter replacements that I charge a flat $500 for on $145 in parts; takes me an hour per. I've done everything from rear main seals to fuel pump replacements to in-and-out oil/filter changes.

What your comment and sentiment misses, I think, is that a significant percentage of mechanics do shade-tree jobs that won't ever be accounted for in official reports. Dealers and shops have become extremely hit-and-miss, part quality fell dramatically during the pandemic (ask me how I know), and thrifty consumers are more inclined to spend money on independent mechanics that work out of a small shop; there's a ton of money not being accounted for in the process. Maybe not "cool" or "attractive" to you, but I'd love to never have to touch a keyboard again and spend my time working on cars, boats, and fabrication.
Is there even any kind of an online resource that defines these “fundamentals” in a widely-agreed-upon basis, and focuses on only said fundamentals as a purpose-built resource of high specificity?

If so, it’s only a Google search away for these young’uns.

In Java, BigDecimal (https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.base...) is the standard. It's used widely in every bank around the world. In Python, you have Decimal. In C#, Decimal works also great.

It's not like COBOL has a particular edge against "modern" languages, but it has legacy with it.

China's high speed rail costs less than opportunity cost of transport projects. They're making money building it, especially when debt is cheap. And debt was cheap for quite a while until recently.

Not to mention, the economies of scale have decreased the costs exponentially over time. This is true for metro lines, as well. China builds metro for the cost of some countries building high speed rail.

Deaths aren't the only metric to consider. There's also pollution.

Chernobyl for example left a huge area uninhabitable. And it's still a mess. When the Russians kicked up dust in there with their tanks recently it caused measurable radiation in a much wider area.

We would all benefit from more cause and effect analysis in our media.

- Let's say we increase prices that we pay cocoa farmers, even double the price

- Is this extra enough to send the girl to school an hour away, pay for her books, etc.? If you pay the family more, how do you know they would spend it on the girl's education? Maybe fixing the water well or building a sturdier house is more important. Or paying off debt.

- The school is an hour away, the girl might not feel safe being away from home for so long without any adults. She might prefer being with her family. So... boarding school? Are the teachers qualified? (Go read about absentee teachers in Indian schools.)

- Also, if cocoa farming becomes more profitable, it might encourage _more_ child labor as parents pull their kids from school to work "on the family farm".

- If cocoa farming is profitable enough, it might invite a protection racket. Go Google for Mexican cartels and avocados.

Ironically, here in the U.S., we kinda glorify "working on the family farm", expecting kids to help on their parents' farms. Isn't that family doing something similar?

I am in no way glorifying child labor. I think it's sad and I wish I could adopt all these children and give them the quality of life I enjoy.

But complex problems require complex solutions. Unfortunately, we--humanity as a whole--have not found a universal solution to end human suffering as a whole, even the small subset of misery like child labor.

Historically, almost every country that has "developed" into an "industrialized" nation has had a very difficult, dangerous, violent learning curve. Kids in coal mines in the U.S., 18th century Dickensian English was a hellhole...
the customized GPTs are honestly a let down

you can't do anything fun with them, and that's not because it isn't possible but because openai is afraid to step outside of the safety zone. the response style really doesn't change much, default behavior leaks into everything so easily

what were they expecting?
Child labor is still not uncommon in agricultural communities in the USA. I believe the federal law is age 12 and up for farm work. And de facto if not de jure there is no age limit on children working their own family’s farm. Granted one might call that chores rather than labor.

And the minimum age to babysit is as low as 8 based on a quick search.
Are PC-based scams really all that common these days?

All the ones I get are things like fake package deliveries or nonexistent tax debts, which I don't see this as protecting against.

Thinking about it, though, I wonder if there would be a market for a more premium service where all calls/texts from unknown numbers are routed through a call centre in the Philippines and the spam/scams are filtered out.

>The type of catastrophe that solar and wind need to prevent are "There's no sun/wind for more days than we planned for" which absolutely can be devastating

Absolutely, and with renewables that's part of the consideration from the start since everyone is well aware of it.

What you describe is in fact one of the major downsides to nuclear, since they generate so much energy in one point of failure.

Having a (ahem) redundant array of inexpensive devices generating power is much less likely to suffer abrupt and large losses such as the one europe suffered just last week, when their largest reactor went offline for a few days. https://yle.fi/a/74-20061159

>But consider a personal finance app. The main goal is cross device sync, cloud backup, offline capable, etc. In this case having the entire db stored on every device is probably what you want.

A bit confused by this. If I'm a developer of a PFM, I don't want anything but a single user's financial data synced to their device. This sounds like partial replication to me.
It's quite hard to tell it's sarcasm since they really do talk like that. Only "except asians" gave it away for me.
All great points and I'll add one - the operator will be far away from the weapons, so even if they are sighted and targeted you minimize human casualties and it won't give up the teams' position.
> I don't think it says anything definitive about if the job sucks or not

Well, yes. I don't think there are many jobs that objectively suck. For almost all jobs, there are people who will be miserable doing them and there are other people who live for it. I should have said the "job sucks for them".

There are so many complications because of data fraud and the fear of perception of data fraud.

I'm the guy who builds the experiments on a team of user researchers. There are all sorts of things that seem intuitive to an outsider but are poo-pooed by practitioners as unethical. For instance, you might run a study that doesn't have enough participants to have a statistically significant conclusion. An outsider would deploy it to more participants to see if the trend becomes significant with more data. A trained researcher will cringe at that proposal.

So far as I can tell, researchers consider the experiment final as soon as you peek at the data. If you want any changes - more data, different demographics, etc - you have to throw out everything and start over. Even though it's logically interchangeable, the data you've already collected is considered spoiled, because they don't want allegations of tampering/data grooming.

> Dear GPT Builder,

> It’s been less than a month since we announced GPTs and we are blown away by the useful and fun GPTs that you and the builder community have created.

> We are continuing to make improvements to GPTs based on your feedback. To improve Actions we updated the configuration interface, enabled one click testing, added debug messages in preview, and now allow multiple domains. There have also been questions around uploaded files. Uploaded files are downloadable when using Code Interpreter so we’ve made this feature default off and added messaging to better explain this. If you have additional feedback, we’d love to hear from you here.

> In terms of what’s next, we are now planning to launch the GPT Store early next year. While we had expected to release it this month, a few unexpected things have been keeping us busy! In the meantime, we will have some other great updates to ChatGPT soon. Thank you for investing time to build a GPT.

Number theory and electricity development was/is very much paid from public funds, even dollars. For wheel there obviously was no money at all, let alone dollars.

For most science there is no obvious commercialization at least in any predictable timeframes. When there is, it's typically called R&D.

IE for Mac was great.

People forget that IE for Mac was the best & most standards compliant browser for Mac ~25 years ago.

All of the “IE hate”, was only directed at the Windows version … not the Mac version.

I don't think it's a scam, but using the term "unlimited" in this way does reduce my trust in the companies who do it. It's clearly marketing BS.

"Unlimited" means "without limit", which obviously can't be the case with vacation time, so it's deceptive to call it that. "Generous" would be better.
Unfortunately now that Musk is ruler of one of the world's largest communication platforms it's becoming extremely difficult to ignore his increasingly polarized views. And even if you avoid them, other people will not.
I suspect they're a bit like Google... wonderful tech but terrible product company.

Everything outside of the quality of their models is suspect:

- GPTs are super quirky w/ weird limitations... try processing an image file larger than an emoji from base 64 text and watch it render the base64 string in a code window and give up after about 1k tokens. The vast majority of the time it doesn't even try and hallucinates processing what it thinks a file related to the context of the GPT would do.

- The assistants API is a black box of inefficiency and out of control costs due to a propensity to barf huge amounts of context from problematic RAG, etc. Yet it's not obvious in real time because there is no token consumption information like the normal chat API. It's almost like they rolled it out like this to destroy developer trust on the spot by doing a 'gotcha' to anyone naive to roll this out to prod without sufficient testing.

I'm honestly unsure how GPTs will in fact be monetized. Are purchasers required to have a Plus account w/ sellers getting a one time sale? Will sellers have to pay extra usage fees, or a shared subscription type thing split between them and OpenAI?

I think they should just give up on this area of the business. Dev day produced some anxiety by encroaching on the business models of a large segment of newly funded AI startups... then showing the efforts to be half-baked while encouraging more lock-in just is going to erode trust and uptake on API usage in general, possibly having people be relieved when Google Gemini and similar efforts are unveiled in the coming months.
"In the original script though, Morpheus' explanation would have been much better. It would have gone as follows: The original script to the film said the machines enslaved the humans to use them as computer processors as part of a neural network.

However, studio meddling declared this idea to be too hard for the audience to understand, thus it was changed to the plot holes we have now."
