I've been remapping caps lock to backspace for more than a decade now, I have backspace mapped to (forward) delete. This was due to the only repetitive stress injury a keyboard has ever given me, which was strain in the outside of my right wrist from the frequency with which I would go after the backspace key.

Also, aesthetically, I like the fact that backspace is to the left and delete to the right, the directions in which the command acts. But mainly, I'm not an especially accurate typist, and I change my mind a lot, a home row backspace is a godsend.

This remap leads to some pretty comical results when I find myself using a board which doesn't have them, the first time I make a mistake it STAYS ANd I get something like that, a run of capital letters and then lowercase as I instinctively hit caps lock again to try and delete them.
I love their approach! Mistral seems to be what I long ago hoped OpenAI to be.

This is interesting. Microsoft has incentive to popularize a browser that supports extensions and adblocking on Android because it will hurt Google Ads much more than it will hurt Bing. Currently I use Kiwi on Android, but I'm not sure if I trust Microsoft or the Kiwi authors more. Microsoft is a big organization that would never do anything dramatically awful (or illegal in Europe) with customer data, but they have tried every dark pattern in the book (and invented many new ones) to push Edge on Windows.
Jeez. Eventually someone is going to break down and invent a new IP solution that doubles the number of addresses that we have now.

I mean if I were doing it, I'd probably make it more like 1,028 times bigger but maybe it would present as hubris. Addresses would be so plentiful they'd basically be free.

And since I am using magic to do all of this, I'd invent it over 20 years ago, so that it'd have been decades since we were still talking about it.

My point is that his actions have had material real world consequences to things he cares about. I'm not making the case that they are running him out of business, or anything else.

I know several people who love tesla cars, but wont buy them due to Musk association, so I am going off that. 30% margins on more cars is better than 30% margins on less. Owning a tesla is a scarlet letter for many democratic owners I know.

Similarly, the DOD is not going to stop buying from SpaceX, but is slowing down development that he wants.

Similarly, Musk wants twitter to be successful, and hostility to and from the political left has made that all but impossible.

Early musk benefitted greatly from his social reputation and hype. My perspective is that his public persona since ~2019 has been more of a drag than boost.

Im not sure where you stand. Are you arguing that his public persona is currently a net benefit to his corporate objectives? That they are so small they cant be quantified? That the consequences fall short of what would happen in a morally just world?

This is correct - I should have been more specific. If a business doesn't take insurance then HIPAA doesn't apply. Not that insurance isn't involved in a specific transaction. I've edited my GP comment to be more specific.

GPT 4 is so far ahead of everything else that it doesn't make much sense to rush for GPT 5 release. They could get extra GPT 5 customers when they release it as they are pretty sure no one else would take away those users.
GPT-4 is an enormous model that took an enormous amount of training. The big news is that smaller teams are getting close to its performance on a small model that can run on a single GPU. No doubt many of these innovations could be scaled up, but pretty much only Google and Microsoft have the compute resources for the behemoth models(Not just the training, but the giant resources required to run the inference for hundreds of millions of users. Google already claims to have surpassed GPT-4 with their unreleased Gemini Ultra model. No doubt OpenAI/Microsoft is sitting on GPT-5 refining it just waiting to leapfrog the competition.

Correct, but everyone who is tall, dark, and handsome is dark. The person you're replying to is asking: don't "black" and "indigenous" fall under "POC", since POC basically just means "not white"? Or at least black should fall under it.

> None of us who owned TSLA in 2018 looked at the board of directors, which included Musk's brother, and assumed it was a totally independent board, regardless of disclosures.

At least one person assumed it was independent, and that person sued. But if everyone knew about how conflicted the board is, how come the proxy went to such great lengths to refer to the board as "independent"?

The Proxy failed to disclose any of the Compensation Committee members’ actual or potential conflicts with respect to Musk.747 In fact, the Proxy repeatedly described the members of the Compensation Committee as independent, stating: “The[] [Grant] discussions first took place among the members of the Compensation Committee . . . all of whom are independent directors;”748 and “[t]he independent members of the Board, led by the members of the Compensation Committee, spent more than six months designing [the Grant].”749 The Proxy’s introductory letter is “[f]rom the Independent Members of Tesla’s Board of Directors,” and the first four signatories are Compensation Committee members Gracias, Ehrenpreis, Denholm, and Buss.750 Notably, Gracias signed as “Lead Independent Director.”751

The description of the Compensation Committee members as “independent” was decidedly untrue as to Gracias and proved untrue as to the remaining committee members. At a minimum, Musk’s relationships with Ehrenpreis and Gracias gave rise to potential conflicts that should have been disclosed.752 Ultimately, all of the directors acted under a controlled mindset, calling into question the disclosure as to each of them.

Overall, Defendants failed to prove that the information about conflicts was adequately disclosed. The Proxy was materially deficient on this point.

The judge thinks the reason they did this was to fool people.

> I have zero expectation that the NVDA BoD is 100% free of undisclosed conflicts of interest.

It's not about mere "undisclosed conflicts", it's that the compensation committee was so conflicted that it was effectively controlled by Musk.

> - They are more focused on AGI, and not letting themselves get side tracked with the LLM race

FWIW OpenAI seems to have a corroded definition for AGI that is essentially "[An] AI system generally smarter than humans".

They don't seem to use the typical definition I'm used to of some variation of autonomy or (pseudo)-sentience.

So their LLM race is the race for AGI

> Asking if humanity can invent a machine to protect itself from the existential threats created by the other machines it has invented to me does not sound that intelligent.

The alternative, not trying at all, sounds more intelligent to you? Or just easier?

Many agree with you that defense is inherently harder than offense. It may even be effectively impossible to survive AGI, who knows? You don't, I can be pretty sure of that, because no human has ever publicly proven it one way or the other.

The only wrong answer to this hard problem, though, is "give up and see what happens."
Maybe there are diminishing returns on improving quality, so they're trying to improve the efficiency at a given quality level instead? There is a lot value to producing results instantly, but more importantly efficiency will allow you to serve more users (everyone is bottlenecked on inference capacity) and gain more users thanks to winning on pricing.

Talk about bloated apps: Proton Drive - 236 MB, Proton Mail - 97.6 MB, Proton VPN - 260 MB. And each one installs a separate instance of Chromium browser. Missed opportunity to use some alternatives, like Tauri and actually improve user experience by providing smaller and faster downloads.

At least nice to see that they are hiring people with Python/GTK/Qt knowledge to build Linux applications. Fingers crossed for more quality in Proton apps for Linux.

To be fair, this is a mistake that started with the Google paper, and everyone else just copies the mistake.

The paper calls them Macaroons as a play on (browser) Cookies with layers (of caveats) - so clearly they meant macarons as well, since a macaroon doesn't have layers. Or at least, that's always been my interpretation of the name. It's possible it was just an arbitrary play on hMAC cookies and not the layers?
In the specific case of Emacs, assuming you're connected via ssh, sshd is running on port 22 of both hosts, an Emacs server is running locally, and emacsclient is in the default local path, a bash function or script along the lines of

for i in "$@"; do
ssh "${SSH_CONNECTION%% *}" emacsclient --no-wait "/ssh:$(hostname):$(realpath "$i")"
done

should work.

For best results, use ssh-agent + agent forwarding to avoid password prompts.

My comment doesn't say anything about graphics programming, so it's pretty neutral on that particular point.

This dismissal of the complexities of audio programming is fairly common in general (and particularly bad on HN). Remarks about "less data", "less formats", "less demanding" are typical. But throwing in the specific mention of visual resolution as if somehow sample rate and depth are not more or less precise analogs seems like a fairly major red flag.

>it's just a matter of focusing on the last little bit.

I would call that prefetching.

There are so many things that can't truly be mastered in a lifetime, much less a mere 10000 hours.

Either way, extreme ambition may be involved but it's not actually required.

If ASAP is a factor, that would tend more to the extreme though, but I would say that the same tasks required to achieve the level of mastery expected at 10000 hours will lead to a higher level of accomplishment if spread out over more than 2.28 years.

What you really want to do if you can is to put in the 10000 hours (or preferably 100000 or more) in areas where others have hardly done anything yet (or just can't compare), so you will have something exceptional to offer fairly early in your journey, and build momentum to surpass the state-of-the-art in the long run before very much complete mastery has yet occurred.

Especially for things which complete mastery can not be expected to occur, whether you know it or not.

Curiosity as a safeguard is an interesting thought. An AI might be disinclined to kill all humans for whatever reason if it considers the result boring. On the other hand, maybe it would also want to force humans to be more interesting for its own entertainment...

Some of them, at the very least. If you were projecting that you were going to meet some of the milestones before offering the compensation plan and tell your investors that you project that you have a >=70% chance of meeting some of the milestones a few months after offering the grant, then I think it's reasonable to claim that at least some of the milestones were not that ambitious.

Some of the shareholders made similar criticisms, even without knowing about the internal projections.

> One very small shareholder and a judge with bias overrule the majority of shareholder

The shareholder vote was not fully informed, so it counts for little in these types of matters. Shareholder size also doesn't matter - they're all equal under the eyes of the law. Might doesn't make right.

I'm also curious - why do you think the judge is biased?

> It's as if something can finally fill their bandwidth, keep up with their thoughts, and answer those questions in real-time.

There's a problem with your line of thinking.

E.g., I remember the epiphany when I realized that a particular C codebase was an implementation of a (more or less) object-oriented dynamic programming language. Ooh, here's the part that implements classes. Here's the part that instantiates the objects. Here's the method-dispatcher.

Ooh, here's the half-baked templating system that lets the user associate custom classes with 2d vector drawings and instantiate objects from them!

I was taking in the code of that codebase as fast as I could scroll and read the functions and structs.

At most, reading this code took up perhaps 20% of the time I was devoting to this endeavor. The other 80% was thinking through those design choices and their implications, during my unstructured time-- going on a walk, sitting on a bus, etc.-- when I was away from the computer.

If your kids are exposed to 3x of my example screen time, they're going to require vastly more unstructured time than I had to think through the implications of everything the screen put in front of their eyeballs. Trends in cell phone usage-- and even basic arithmetic of 24 hours in a day-- tells me that your kids aren't getting that.
