> My parents didn't have me to benefit themselves in industry, they only want me to survive in the best capacity possible. I'm not sure how that distinction is not 100% obvious in 2023. It's not the 1700s in a planet covered in subsistence farms who need kids to work.

You make a very compelling argument. It made me think from another angle. Consider that there's evolutionary pressure on humans to want to procreate. So in a certain sense, we are conceived to serve the gene and to survive we have to labor.
>> They overplayed their position. That's all there is to it.

They tried to enforce the non-profit's charter, as is their duty. I would hardly frame that as overplaying their hand.
Fun fact: the way they were able to get those nice images of the collagen in the tendons was by utilizing an optical imaging method called Second Harmonic Generation. Collagen intrinsically produces a very strong SHG signal without the need to attach any labels to the collagen. SHG is also a 3D imaging method that can be used to image deep inside live tissues (instead of having to fix, section and label the tissue like most histology methods) and thus they were able to monitor the tendon repair over time in a living system.
>Reeks of CEO speak; general bullshit that seems to go against all practical reasoning of the situation.

I don’t. I would gladly purchase a small practical brand new kei car if I could.

Given the choice between a $35k sedan and a $40k SUV the choice is going to be SUV for most people.

Given the choice between a $15k sedan and a $40k SUV, it gets a lot more interesting.

The US car market is incredibly restricted. You can buy a 300 mile range electric sedan for $25k in China. Why the fuck can’t we get that in North America?
The failure of this metric as measure of happiness is very obvious. I can be rich person (relatively rich not that rich) and are spending a lot of money on my health problems who are making my life hell. With such metric this indicates that I'm living my best days.
Got the matrix working.

Were some of the comments up-thread edited or something? I don’t see any mention of treason in this specific chain until this post (but it is weird because hammock’s post, at this same level, also mentions treason).

Of course there are other threads that bring up the possibility of treason. But I don’t see why there’s a need to explain the (obvious, right?) fact that the ICC wouldn’t prosecute treason.
I guess the question is how the mix of experts works. Do they predict one token from each model? If so you’re still doing 1.7T worth of computation.
Correct. Apple Silicon GPU performance should be equally fast in llamafile as it is in llama.cpp. Where llamafile is currently behind is at CPU inference (only on Apple Silicon specifically) which is currently going ~22% slower compared to a native build of llama.cpp. I suspect it's due to either (1) I haven't implemented support for Apple Accelerate yet, or (2) our GCC -march=armv8a toolchain isn't as good at optimizing ggml-quant.c as Xcode clang -march=native is. I hope it's an issue we can figure out soon!
>This will come from the capitalist system, businesses will be driving the obsolescence of humans,

what's the point of owning the factories if there is no one to buy the crap you produce? they need us more than we need them, at least until they have their own spaceships with AI and robots to fluff their balls for them.
Some are. The question is: is openAI? And even if they are, the outcome of this novela indicates it don't matter: the board folded.

If you listen to the whole thing, I think it becomes pretty obvious why they record it. They're just constantly riffing ideas, constantly. Then this will happen, no then this, yeah and then this, etc etc.

I would never trust a normal assistant to "keep notes" that are usable for something like this. A recording would seem to be mandatory in order to revisit ideas.
Each public housing authority is allowed to set a residency "preference" (not a residency requirement) but you're right, many of them don't seem to implement one. I assume that with the ridiculous limits on applying it has only become an issue in the last decade, at most. (E.g King County last opened their wait list for two weeks in 2020).

Some places also implement a quasi-residential requirement by making the wait list open only/preferentially to people referred by a local service provider.
Those exist.
Ok, but compare yourself to the rest of the world. There's literally almost nowhere better to live than in Canada. You're assuming the current state is an aberration and that the status quo of the past is somehow obtainable. But most of human history has been profound suffering of the masses. More than likely, the good times of ol' are the aberration and aren't coming back.

Another thing to consider: the entire wealth of Canada and the U.S. is predicated on a genocide. Yea, it turns out when you're not killing people and taking their land, it generally gets more expensive over time.
Compared to modern bandwidth usage that's not such a big size anymore. Everyday millions of people download 100gb video games, watch 4k video podcasts, etc.

Same. I don’t think it’s the truth. It happens with alarming frequency to our family. We seem to be some kind of stealth customer QA for companies.

The other possibility is that they are lying to cover their ass, but they would never do that… right?
> For example, on this HN page that I'm writing, and you're reading, the only graphical thing really is the orange bar across the top.

Actually, the world has evolved slightly as even the text is rich text-today. Many people like to use emojis in text, for example, HN is a rare one that doesn't support. There is even talk of support for cross-platform utf-8 emojis without the need for additional images, stylesheets, etc. Then there are other things like code syntax highlighting, formatted block quotes, bolds and italics, etc. which are like "deemed graphics".
It's absolutely incredible how Subaru can be so high on this list with their choice of engine style and transmission.

With that sort of handicap it's either a testament to how great Subaru is or how terrible every other automaker is.
It mentions it can scale write transactions to millions per second, but I see no mention of how it can scale read capacity?
I constantly get low key shade for choosing to build everything in Python. It’s really interesting to me. People can’t break out of thinking, “oh, you wrote a script for that?”. Actually, no, it’s software, not a script.

99% of my use cases are easily, maintainably solved with good, modern Python. The Python execution is almost never the bottleneck in my workflows. It’s disk or network I/O.

I’m not against building better languages and ecosystems, and compiled languages are clearly appropriate/required in many workflows, but the language parochialism gets old. I just want to build shit that works and get stuff done.

People are complicated. I'd be more tempted to see the good, if he had ever shown remorse or admitted to mistakes.

The Nobel prize is based on explosives. Most scientists 100 years ago were eugenicists. It's difficult to judge people's beliefs and decisions outside of their era. That doesn't mean that you can't build a moral or ethical system outside of it, but they're all based on assumptions of what is good.

It's not like there weren't people calling out Kissinger contemporaneously, or even Lincoln (for his handling of the Dakota). It's more weird when people obliviously deny recent history or create hagiography upon their death.

Thanks, I recall there being some debate about the magnitude of the effect, but if recall correctly, some authors argued the problem was even worse than Hsieh-Moretti thought originally?

Whatever the actual percentage, it makes intuitive sense a spatial misallocation of labor and capital will hurt economic growth.

Doesn't the Hague only do war crimes? It's not much of a Global World Order if they only process heinous stuff. Is this a slippery slope argument? Or do you disagree with how the Hague does things?

They work great for stateless services that you don't modify for your use case. I've had a wireguard server and client container, both based on linuxserver/wireguard, in a fairly weird setup within Nomad, running in production for over a year with no issues.

The trick was to isolate the weirdness in the wgconf files, the permissions of the containers, and their shared netns (a nomad group, in this case, with its netns configs tweaked by a startup script). The Dockerfile is simply FROM linuxserver/wireguard:latest.

(It's wrapped in a Dockerfile so its rebuilds are limited to when we rebuild our images (every commit), but AFAIU the linuxservers setup, it can also pull in wireguard updates at runtime.)

You NEVER want to admit you were wrong. See: Donald J. Trump.
I think "unwilling to divulge company secrets" is the best explanation here.

We know that OpenAI does a staged release for their models with pre-release red-teaming.

Helen says the key issue was the board struggling to "effectively supervise the company": https://nitter.net/hlntnr/status/1730034017435586920#m

Here's Nathan Labenz on how sketchy the red-teaming process for GPT4 was. Nathan states that OpenAI shut him out soon after he reached out to the board to let them know that GPT4 was a big deal and the board should be paying attention: https://nitter.net/labenz/status/1727327424244023482#m [Based on the thread it seems like he reached out to people outside OpenAI in a way which could have violated a confidentiality agreement -- that could account for the shutout]

My suspicion is that there was a low-level power struggle ongoing on the board for some time, but the straw that broke the camel's back was something like Nathan describes in his thread. To be honest I don't understand why his thread is getting so little play. It seems like a key piece of the puzzle.

In any case, I don't think it would've been right for Helen to say publicly that "we hear GPT-5 is lit but Sam isn't letting us play with it", since "GPT-5 is lit" would be considered confidential information that she shouldn't unilaterally reveal.
“Customer” usually means business customer in this context.
Comments like these are the reason that I still read hacker news.

I can come to a thread, and almost always there will be somebody replying with extra information on the topic at hand.

Thank you.
I don’t know but Palo Alto takes a lot of its infrastructure seriously. Also the city operates its own utilities — 25 years ago it sold off the tv cable and service deteriorated so there is little interest in privatizing the rest.

Whoever's lived long enough in USA would laugh about end game questions. Inflation? 3.2% is absolutely peanuts to what it was some 3-4 decades ago. Unemployment? Are you kidding? Pandemics? Did you compare what it is today with what it was 2 years ago? COVID is just 4th - which is a lot, but very far from mortal danger - cause of death, and the country even inches up in life expectancy. All fundamentals are pretty much positive, and only debt/GDP is vaguely comparable to the worst numbers in US history.

Now, what about alternatives? If you don't like US numbers, can you get anyplace better on Earth? I'll wait. Meanwhile, there are forward-positive questions and topics - USA is about to jump in 2, count 'em, two very consequential areas, which are AI and space exploration, within this decade. Are you sure your better bets are against USA? Did you take the history lessons into account, or it's business as usual?

Why do the hackers support Sam? He's the least hacker-y of the major players at OpenAI. Seems like more of a fundraiser, marketing type with little technical skills. Hackers traditionally support technically competent people.
Kind the point of Deno Deploy is that you never have to think about a unit like a VM or container.

The runtime shouldn’t allow you to mutate variables in a parent scope. It probably shouldn’t allow any shared context at all. Because it isn’t actually doing that.

Everything should be passed into the cron function as an argument. It seems like this should be more like the interaction with web workers where those clearly execute in their own context.
The answer to this always seemed self evident - ask people. Obviously this will be exceptionally subjective, but the entire point of all of these ostensibly "objective" metrics is to work to maximize the subjective metrics. Nobody gives a fly fark if a GDP is 37 or 38201784, but everybody cares about which place offers a more pleasant life.

When those objective metrics do map strongly to the subjective metrics, then it's awesome. But the problem is that in practice near to any objective metric can be completely and utterly gamed in, more or less, "honest" ways. Essentially, a government can find ways to increase it without increasing the things that it's supposed to represent. But you can't game how people themselves perceive things without outright lying and fraud.

The subjective metrics would also measure things objective metrics fail on hard. For instance war, as the aggressor or 'backer', is absolutely awesome for near to every economic metric. And national "defense" was one of the big winners in this GDP report. But do these wars provide a subjective quality of life improvement, or deterioration, for people? Basically I don't think the goal of the government should be to provide value to shareholders. That's the point of private industry and capitalism at large. The point of the government is to create a desirable state of life for people living within a country.

Some GPUs has quirks that VRAM access slows down near the end or that GPU just crashes and disables display output if actually used. I think it's sort of sensible that they don't use GPU at all by default.

"This guy" founded the company in 1993 and is still leading it, quite capably, 30 years later. It is often said that many startups need one type of CEO at founding but it takes a different skill set to be CEO of an established company. To lead it from 3 people to 25,000+, to have both technical chops, business chops, and PR chops is a rare combination.

Back in the early 90s there were countless 3D chip startups, probably more than 35 (I was at two of them during those years) and they fell one by one until essentially only Nvidia and ATI remained. Ask the other 33 CEOs if they think Jensen was just lucky.

Jensen believed that GPGPU could be a new market and spent heavily to push the idea and to make it real. Significant design work and silicon area was spent adding GPGPU features to chips before there was any software or any market for it. He invested in building compiler teams and writing libraries. He invested millions each year hosting a GPGPU conference and driving the vision. No, he didn't write those libraries or design the silicon, but it was his vision and willingness to invest in it that deserves respect. He isn't some schlub that simply got lucky one time. He has been manufacturing "luck" for 30 years.
Fun fact, a Nvidia RTX 4090 has ~1TBps memory bandwidth, for an apples to oranges comparison.
Retail gas prices have been just about flat for 50 years. Energy expenses as a fraction of GDP have never been lower. Household spending on motor fuels is also historically low. I really have no idea why people point to gas prices, which are objectively dirt cheap.

That's one interpretation, and I'm sure it is the one they had. In my opinion they failed to enforce the charter. 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.
We have armies of econ grads measuring baskets of goods to account for this and report it in various metrics.

Worry not, despite unrealistic public expectations and wanton reductivism bred from saltiness regarding wealth's stubborn unwillingness to consistently grow without effort... We actually can measure a lot of useful things.

You absolutely can. Like, sure, it can generate crap quickly, but whether that translates into genuine productivity improvements is not really proven yet.
I've always like the metaphor that companies, especially large ones, are like an autonomous AI that has revenue generation as it's value function and operates in that interest and not in the interest of the individuals that make up the company.
This is the answer. The thread is chasing various smart-people opinions about languages, interpreters, system calls. We got tricked into click bait title and are using the opportunity to rehash our favorite topics and biases.

I went up this road. I ended up settling on Mailcow because it does all this same work and more, with pretty good integration and sensible choices, together with some valuable tools for things like migration and backup.

If and when the Mailcow project goes away, it’s all still standard components, so moving to i.e. vanilla postfix and dovecot should be straightforward.
LOL. That's exactly what China states about the US, when the US sent multiple high up officials to China prior to Xi's trip to San Fran., in order to pave the way for Xi to come to the US because Biden was begging to meet with Xi. I guess it's all a matter of perspective.

Idk, it's actually wild how HN is almost entirely "Kissinger is a war criminal" meme-ing with little actual specific policy substance behind it. Meanwhile, if you read any Kissinger, you'd realize he understood history and the international relations better than 99% of these comments. Truly, word-for-word basis you will undoubtedly learn far more about history reading World Order than you will these HN comments. Personally, I have little hope in their uneducated decisions in a position of astronomical consequences and no 20/20 hindsight.
Reading through the descriptions of the episodes of this podcast it seems a lot like they start with a conclusion and then confirmation bias themselves (and everyone else who already agrees with them). Maybe not the most objective source.
