> Why do you? I'm asking seriously

Serious answer then.

The reality is that the higher the pay, the less it stings when people screw you over. If OpenAI was a low pay startup, Ilya would probably feel a lot more bitter about what happened. People care for various reasons. You don't need to care, because you actually already have what I described above, because of three reasons:

1. the work that you did and the country in which you did it

2. the people you were surrounded with while you were doing it

3. the culture around it, especially the US is very vocal about what they achieve, which automatically became a huge (possibly) unintentional mutual marketing platform for you and your friends.

There are plenty of security people that have contributed to the security community just as much as you, but make a fraction of the money. Good for you, honestly, but not everyone has had those opportunities. For many of us(I for example grew up in Germany as an immigrant), the predominant culture is to not invest in people like us(very different from the valley), and to make sure to constantly tell them that they can only be successful if they are good worker bees. It took someone convincing me to leave to the UK to realize that.

I want to know and improve, because I have made several people and institutions rich or contributed to their fame, because of whatever work I did or whatever thing I reverse engineered, and got ultimately burned with zero credit.

LLM's would exist with or without OpenAI, but it's absolutely fascinating that Sam how somehow managed to convince the world(outside of a big scientific and engineering niche) that ChatGPT would not have happened without him, but that conversely everyone at ChatGPT is disposable. Even if you don't care about Sam in general it may be worth caring about it in some fashion, when he's lobbying on Capitol Hill to limit access to non regulated AI.

It's only natural for me to want to learn some of it, to at least protect myself in the future.

Wartime Commercial Policy and Trade Between Enemies
I agree with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas that Congress should consider extending common carrier rules to large social media platforms and force them to carry all legal content. This would in a sense be a form of "compelled speech" in that those companies would have to expend resources to distribute communicates that their management finds objectionable, but at scale the marginal costs would be virtually zero. And they would still be able to give individual users the tools to filter out or block content that they don't want to see.

Wow! The computer can do the same thing as Google search could ten years ago, but it mostly spits out broken links and incorrect data! So impressive.
No, they generally stand down heated topics even when it's something the hive mind would agree with. There are delicate ways of talking about these things that GP and plenty of others have a history of having a hard time employing.

Not to the same degree or extent… the departure from reality and rejection of any facts they don’t like, rejection of scientific thinking, is waaaaay way more of a right wing problem.

Swift is an interesting option, though that interop requires dropping support for non-clang toolchains, and I don't see that happening any time soon. I mean, it makes sense for code that exclusively targets Apple platforms, and maybe that's all that Apple and the Swift team care about?
Not surprising, the commercial version of the ISB in question only goes up to 360hp rating, usually they run 300 or 340 hp. The commercial versions all have SCR (Urea Injection) along with DPF an EGR.

In the pickup it's rated 400 hp. I wouldn't be surprised if in the pursuit of HP / Torque to keep up with Ford and Chevy's diesels they cut corners on the emissions. The hotter you run diesel the more powerful it gets, the leaner the more efficient it gets, hot and lean makes NOx in the combustion chamber from oxygen and nitrogen, the more NOX the more SCR you need to reduce it back in the exhaust.
It is obviously absurd to compare messaging protocols to airline lounges. Messaging protocols are digital and required for text message communications, an essential technology used by almost every smartphone user. Airline lounges are luxury physical spaces and nobody needs an airline lounge to get on a plane.

Apple's anticompetitive conduct is that it bans third-party SMS/MMS clients as a way to boost usage of its iMessage protocol and disadvantage competing cross-platform messenger services. Microsoft never banned competing web browsers from accessing any protocol (e.g. HTTP or FTP) on Windows, so Apple's conduct in the messaging space is more egregious than Microsoft's previous conduct in the browser space.
Wonder how much Google paid (in compute credits?) to GM for them to do this.
You're right: the current incarnation is dead and at least right now basing it on Ultium seems like a regression. Perhaps they'll work out all the issues in the Ultium Blazer? Even so, there's a reason general consensus is to never buy the first model year of a new oe revised car.

Whataboutism[0] at its finest.

Somehow just hacking together code to create something is considered publishable these days. The code works but it really is just pasted together stuff from the last few weeks of research.
This is a weird comment.

The etymology of the phrase has little to do with the modern day.

Does land in the Bay Area have a significant value? Certainly! But if there's a durable change in the supply/demand balance (which it's far from proven that there is), that value can become less (not zero, just less), and trying to finesse it back to its peak value just won't work if there is a significant durable change.
> I've never seen a flamewar on this topic?

What? Do you have showdead on?

I flagged this one, because “discussions” on this topic are mostly hot garbage, they are dominated by extremely motivated people shitting canned flamebait all over the place, especially early on. Indeed by the time I saw and flagged this there were already like four or five people doing exactly that, and by keeping it up, more of this type of users are invited. They are largely flagged by now, leaving an entire page of flagged stuff and more interwoven in the somewhat visible page; must be one of, if not the lowest signal-to-flag stories on HN. I can only see like 20% of 352 comments so far without showdead.

Yeah. There's a widespread scam on CL where they take pictures and text from an MLS sale listing and post it on CL for a surprisingly low price. It's an identity theft scam. They try to get you to apply to qualify for a site tour.
A bunch of reasons, but generally it's just an inconvenient place to live. I'm also about to have a kid and don't want to raise a child there.
I live in SF and I think the doom loop narrative is true of downtown. So many job cuts (though I think the AI boom is already gaining traction).

However the neighborhoods are dreamy, as good as ever. The city lost population during the pandemic but it has been gaining and in 2023, it is the fastest growing in the state.

I've been in tech for years here and it is the best job market, most lucrative, and most advanced. It's an opportunity to work here. Just don't live in the tenderloin.
It doesn't work that way. The first year base rent is all the rent paid divided by 12.
I believe two seemingly contradictory things to be true:

- SF rents have been falling

- There is not enough housing in SF

This is because SF is still a very expensive place to live. If there were more affordable housing, a lot more people would still choose to live there.
> No it doesn’t

It does because I learned this in the law class I took in undergrad. A quick google search would’ve told you that there are limitations to first amendment.

Not gonna lie, the triple negative tripped me up.
> For example, the phrase "from the river to the see" is considered hateful by many

The phrase has its origins in Arab nationalism. It was coined in 1960 by the PLO to refer to the goal of an Arab state that occupies the entirety of what was Mandatory Palestine. If you ignore the subtext of “what happens to the Jews in that situation” I suppose you can make a case for it.

It’s like the confederate flag. In the 20th century there was an effort to rehabilitate it (as in the Dukes of Hazzard) as a symbol of anti-authoritarianism. And that’s the only connotation lots of people have of it. But it has a pretty unpleasant historical context.

At the very least it’s a dog whistle to the large fraction of the Muslim world that hates Jews: https://www.adl.org/resources/blog/adls-global-100-survey-wh.... Americans who use this phrase should really travel to the Muslim world to understand the antisemitism that’s just in the air. You can’t travel to my “moderate Muslim” country with an Israeli passport. Guess why that is?

South Florida, about an hour north of Miami. The prices down here have gotten kind of crazy so I'd like to move, but our family is here so that makes it difficult. Still better overall than NYC.
RealPage is a company that every morning begs their customers to lower the asking rents.
I understand the complaint, but I don't think that was a problem back in 2012, the timeframe of the article.
105 errata (pretty small ones) in a 1000-page book. For highly technical work, I'd say that's not too bad. Looking at the errata for Vol I of TAOCP, there's a lot more for a much shorter work (600 pages).
I think it might be right, because while most of us tech folks on HN would be living in nicely kept old-school buildings or in new construction, most of SF is quite poor and might be living in areas like Mission or Excelsior and Bayview, basically SE of the city.

I've seen "low" rents there, but you get to live in a rough looking neighborhood and its not very clean or safe.

To be fair, if you're making 170-240k base you can easily afford 3-4k per month rent to live in a nicer building. People who are in relationships can stretch this even further, not to mention the RSUs/options.

Also, people live all the way down to SJ and then up the east bay. Rents in SJ are like 2500/mo for a single bedroom in a newer building, but its not that great of an area tbh. In mid-peninsula its comparable to SF rents because it is really nice, safe, and you get a lot more families. There are no homeless and barely any crime there, and SF is just 20-30 min away.

The Supreme Court has ruled again and again that incitement is an exception to speech covered under first amendment.
This is just getting sad now.

You're hysterical over the say-so of two engineers out of how many globally, maybe two thousand? How does that 1:1000 ratio compare to the statistical likelihood of incompetence? The statistical likelihood of being a liar or scumbag? The statistical likelihood of having an unrelated workplace dispute?

If these allegations were true, I'd expect DRAMATICALLY more whistleblowers to come forward.

You're the one stating high confidence. You have a pattern of believing any claim unfavourable to Tesla on face value. Let's be real here, I'm not taking Tesla's side. I'm saying that I don't think this minuscule amount of hearsay is sufficient to come to any conclusions. You don't like that? Fine. Just be aware of what you're actually doing.
Back when the music genome was started, and you let your stream play long enough, every single stream would eventually play Phil Collins.

I would be the farm that eventually, every song output out of this to be the same.

Oh, I love me some Phil Collins too.

Politically, yes, you can say that in Brazil today. But legally speaking that's not allowed...
Numbers would be FAR lower if rent control was factored in.

>50% of renters in SF are on rent control.
Your feral fanboyism does you no credit.

You're letting Tesla make a fool of you. There's no value in that.
He raises some fair points, I find it odd how actions/checkout has to raise its version number when it drops support for older node versions, a package manager type of system could account for compatible node versions

There is competition at least. https://www.ubicloud.com/use-cases/github-actions fights on perf/price, but gets stuck being compatible

But I'm annoyed too by things like the pain involved to have docker let rust builds use a volume to cache build artifacts. cargo-chef is a hack

Ideally I could have docker images as dependencies building with actions sharing images between each other. Not sure why actions can't form a DAG of inputs/outputs
And yet when Russia invaded Ukraine, Meta changed their policy and made it acceptable to advocate violence against Russians.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/exclusive-facebook-inst...

Personally, I oppose both Russian expansionism and the genocidal antisemitic Hamas terrorist movement, so the Meta policy aligns with my views. But I am deeply uncomfortable with having a small cabal of Silicon Valley executives define the acceptable bounds of discourse for the rest of society. It would be better if they allowed all legal content no matter how objectionable and gave individual users tools to block what they don't want to see.
If LLMs didn't have a nasty habit of directly regurgitating training data this would be a non-issue. Do I have this right?
What is even the point of the Blazer EV if it is essentially the same vehicle at the Cadillac Lyriq at essentially the same price? When they announced this thing they said it would be $45k, instead its almost $60k just like the Lyriq. Not sure if there's a difference in quality of materials, sound deadening, etc. It is technically a couple thousand cheaper, but it's also made in Mexico with non-union labor instead of made in the U.S.

They're still claiming the Equinox EV will be available at $35k mid 2024 but I'm highly skeptical of that at this point, unless they plan on selling them at a loss.
The “damage” part is only real if one intends to refinance constantly and chase the highest multiple possible. The flip-side of rent control is high occupancy. If the building was properly capitalized and rented with a proper return in mind, rent control ensures you keep turning a profit year after year. Not sure about SF, but in many jurisdictions including utilities allows higher increases. Staying on top of these allowed increases and ensuring good budgeting makes a lot of rent controlled buildings a gold mine.

EDIT: of course if you mess up, that mistake is now set in stone and backed by legal resource of your city, so it’s not risk free.
I don't know, to me it seems ahead of its time...
> If you read the essay, it says “worse is better” means (paraphrasing) it’s more important that C compilers be easy to implement than easy to use. Also, it is more important that the implementation—or the design of the implementation—of a piece of software be simple than that it be correct. It is more important that it be simple than that it be consistent. It is more important that it be simple than that it be “complete” (for example, handle edge cases; it just needs to work in “most situations”).

This is really ironic considering C++, whose compilers may literally be the most complicated compilers to ever exist, and none of them implement the full (C++23) language spec.

What kind of maxim does C++ go by?

A big part of Apple's appeal outside of tech circles is exclusivity. When people talk about premium whatever, more often than not it just means "what the plebs don't have". From that perspective, performative exclusion of oneself from some circles can be seen as a feature and not a bug. Nor is this US-specific - iPhone is even more of a luxury status symbol in much of Asia.

Yes. We would do this by analyzing their arguments for logical errors, then testing their new theory, then hopefully proving their new theory. The difference between a crazy and genius is the results their new ideas produce.
I’m not a macOS guy but I was pretty surprised how woeful the default audio experience is on macOS. Coming from Linux background it was strange you need third-party tools that require you to boot into recovery.
Kind of a click-bait headline.

To quote the actual report: "This distribution of cases does not necessarily reflect the overall distribution of censorship."

They asked people to self-report instances. There is probably selection bias (maybe they advertised only to the pro-palestian crowd. Maybe the israeli crowd thinks HRW is biased and didn't want to engage. Maybe something else). There is probably also base rate falacy involved which isn't accounted for.

This just isnt the right type of study to determine if meta has a bias in censorship.
That is pretty awesome!
Some details for those here who like to know:
Dante was originally only an Audio over IP protocol, you can get PoE powered XLR to ethernet dongles and go over IP into your digital mixer which also has a Dante card and then manage the whole flow from your machine with a software called Dante controller on it. That routing is active within all machines until you change it even if the controller software is not running.

Nowadays they also have software called "Dante virtual soundcard" (which is just that) and "Dante Via" (which allows you to additionally route individual program's IO — e.g. if you want to put that computers powerpoint and Browser on different faders and send some microphone signal to the Zoom client).

All in all good stuff, but if you "just" want to route things within one machine, probably overkill.

In my experience this works perfectly fine using pipewire on linux, on MacOS Blackhole, on Windows I never needed it because my RME soundcard allows loopback recording and complex routing.
Combine that with the loss of the dollar menu, it's dead for me. The competition is great.
Vim Adventures: Learn Vim while playing a game
What the OP suggested was that "it is a scam". It clearly isn't, there is nothing in QC that isn't traditional QM which is a 100 year old incredibly well-tested theory. As far as we currently know, it's an engineering problem, not a question of "will it work". If there is evidence to the contrary, I'm sure any journal would be happy to publish it (that would make it to Science or Nature, not a quantum-computing specific journal).
On one hand, when I don't want to use Pinterest, I too curse how it takes over Google Images results.

But on the other hand, when I do want to use it, it's a great scrapbook and recommendation tool -- easy to capture images I find while browsing, and good at figuring out what else I'd like to see related to them on the same theme. A visual notebook with suggestions.

Things like:

- keep track of the bags I've been thinking about buying so I can see them all at once and find others I missed

- pin a bunch of home office photos I like, and then it suggests even more ideas (or garden ideas, or kitchen ideas, or workbench ideas...)

- pin all the recipes I've enjoyed making and that I want to make, and get even more suggestions that have the same dietary restrictions

- pin some things with a particular vibe -- let's say "motorcycle photos I think are cool" -- and get a better idea of the whole aesthetic or subculture or whatever they're from

For better or worse, it is really good at what it does. No argument that it pollutes search results, no argument that there are too many ads in the form of promoted pins, but underlying that, the recommendation algorithm is really useful.

It’s cool to see code in an interpreted language being edited at the repl. Ruby’s style of building everything at runtime using the language itself has always felt delightfully consistent, but also very hard to reason about with static analysis — the usually tool for helping developers in their IDEa and LSP clients.

Far nicer to just execute the program and put a breakpoint at the cursor…
