Probably, as I’m not optimizing shareholder value
It seems hard to see what the nonprofit would really be doing in this case since the for-profit seems to be the entire operation.
This suit claims breach of the "Founding Agreement". However, there is no actualy Founding Agreement, there are email communications claimed to be part of a "Founding Agreement". IANAL, but I would suspect that these emails don't matter for much now that there are Ariticles of Incorporation. Those articles are mentioned, but the "Founding Agreement" implied by emails is mentioned more.
The suit also seems alarmist by stating that GPT4 is AGI.

It seems like Elon could win a suit to the extent that he could get all of his donations back based on the emails soliciting donation for a purpose that was then changed.

But Elon's goal in this suit is clearly to bring back the "Open" in "OpenAI"- share more information about GPT4 and newer models and eliminate the Microsoft exclusive licensing. Whether this would happen based on a suit like this seems like it would come down to an interpretation of the Articles of Incorporation.
Oh, yes, that makes more sense.

Still, native typing is not even on the horizon for ES, so I think my point stands for businesses that are heavily invested in supporting TS. TS is what we need today, it doesn't make sense to ignore it because theoretically it could be obsolete in 5-10 years.

As a fan of PWAs, I like the direction this is headed. Apple will both have to open up PWAs to other browser engines while increasing the abilities of PWAs in Safari. App developers will realize 80% of apps are fine as PWAs and it is a great way to avoid the app store.
Neither hotels nor taxis work like that, and even rental cars (which do have a scheduled pickup time) are generally flexible enough to accommodate this kind of thing.
This is a tangential point, but at least in American English the expression “sour grapes” is a shorthand for the fable you’re referring to.
> Third, you need a central control over street lights anyway because you need to implement blackouts during wartime.

You heard of switches? Hell in our country with mandated rolling blackouts to prevent failure of the national electrical grid some sucker gets paid to drive around town every 2-3hours and flip a switch. Unrelated one municipality is failing to follow the mandate because they cannot afford said suckers overtime pay...

I also strongly believe well lit streets at all times are important, its better to try to limit the lights' bleed than it is to have darkness. One human killed or otherwise injured (rape/assault) due to bad lighting should be enough to say this is a bad idea.
That argument will be tested in court. It certainly looks like things are the other way around as of now.

Most non-profit employees receive their compensation in the form of a salary. If you need to pay "market rate" competing with organizations that offer equity, you pay a bigger salary. When non-profits spin for-profits off (eg research spinoffs), they do it with a pretty strict wall between the non-profit and the for-profit. That is not the case for OpenAI.
This confused me greatly last year when I visited and was standing around after filling up very confused as to what to do next.
Once you get into the top tax band, the 20% cut in base pay only corresponds to an ~8% cut in take-home pay - a pretty good deal as far as I'm concerned. The problem is that employers who pay this much tend to be large US companies and therefore not well equipped to deal with requests for flexible working. Fortunately the law here means that such requests can't be dismissed out of hand, but unfortunately that doesn't mean HR is obligated to make such requests easy for managers to go along with.
"Very wild" only if you don't mind a bunch of views of roads and the noise of vehicles. You need to put a good day's trek behind you before things start getting separated from civilization, and even then you're on a trail designed for you by other humans.

The best wilderness I've ever experienced is the Mojave Wilderness. A place the size of Rhode Island, with 4 roads, a handful of trails, and a visitor's center. Otherwise, it's basically untouched desert. Absolutely gorgeous.

IMO, there's one fundamental difference between a park and wilderness: a park is a curated experience, and as such is a product of, and a part of, human civilization. That intrinsically means you are at the whims of others, perhaps benevolently so in the case of National Parks, but manipulated nonetheless. Wilderness means freedom from that omnipresent force of human intention, because the wilderness has no intention for you: it is ambivalent to your presence. The desert won't help you survive, but it's also not going to try and kill you or rob you, either. That's freedom you can't find on a trail overlooking a tangle of roads.

>We don’t have to worry about powerful language models like gpt-n, we have to worry about digital people who can think a million times faster than von Neumann. I imagine that when something like this speaks to you all information flow would basically be from the future. It could beat any market with relative ease, could know thousands of years of future events before breakfast.

That's nowhere near a necessary or obvious conclusion. Even if it could "think a million times faster than von Neumann", there's no guarantee it could "beat any market", seeing as any market is contigent on thousands of non-predictable factor (from some earthquake in a manufacturing area, to a war breaking out, all the way to consumer unpredictability).

Even less so for "thousands of years of future events".

What is described is a magical prophet, not a super-intelligence.

And of course the idea that there's no diminishing returns limits to thought and you could "think a million times faster than von Neumann" or have an IQ of 10000000 or whatever is also highly dubious.
I'm thinking their reputations are a bit different in their heads than in reality.
It took me a long time to understand a key reason the electric grid works at all: the rotational inertia of all the big, heavy generators in the system.

As an example, imagine a frictionless generator with no load, spinning at 60 Hz. The rotating mass of the generator stores kinetic energy, and its windings are ready to convert that to electrical energy. Attaching an electrical load slows the rotation unless something is done to replenish that stored kinetic energy.

On a larger scale, loads are switching on and off all the time. Power plant operators need time to react, because adjusting the throttle isn't instantaneous. A natural gas generator might take seconds to throttle up or down; adjusting a nuclear power plant could take a while. In the meantime, energy is drawn from the buffered kinetic energy of every generator on the grid. They are all rotating in sync because every generator is also a motor.

The frequency of the grid is the signal everyone uses to know whether generation matches consumption, averaged over second or minutes or hours.

Are those spade bits? Meaning flat with two cutting edges.

My home's framing is mostly old growth. I bought an auger bit for rewiring. It's looks like a corkscrew. I won't ever use a spade bit (for making holes in framing) again.

My son then brought over his hole hog (?) power drill. It's scary powerful. Mosdef practice with some scrap wood first.
I don't buy this.

I think my manager would also like to work just 32 hours/week instead of 40 for the same pay. So weh do we stop blaming them?
Wine is aged best around 20 years. 30 years you cannot tell a difference (remember that some years were better than others so you might be able to tell because of that). By 100 years the wine is clearly going downhill and probably isn't drinkable anymore.
- `isolatedModules: true` is required
- Decorators: standard spec decorators only
- JSX: tsconfig options are lifted into JSX pragma comments on publish (configuration goes into code so that consumers can emit based on these options still)

TypeScript has very very few options that affect emit, and effectively everyone has settled on one subset now.
I heard a loud clicking noise while driving to work one day and pulled over to check. Had an "eggbeater-type" mixer sticking out of my tire sidewall.

Shop asked if they could have it for their countertop display of weird stuff they pulled out of tires.

Anyway, they recommended replacing both front tires, but I only did the one and it was fine. I understand the reasoning, I just don't agree with it because tires simply don't wear at the same rate.
This is incorrect. The model does not need to be trained on an article for the LLM to regurgitate it if the article is fed into it (even in small pieces) in the prompt.

Again, quit misunderstanding the tech or we can’t argue about it in an intelligent way.

Some of that is just that there's a 24 hour news cycle, and the event is out there so they have to report that it happened. It takes _time_ to untangle what really happened in an event like that, and it's not going to happen in a day.

I'm not going to get into the politics of that, but I do wish that news orgs would report the necessary context for understanding what "so-and-so claims" really means and letting people have all the information they need so they can judge how many grains of salt are appropriate. A little bit of he-said, she-said is necessary in breaking news, but there should be a lot of caveats that go along with reporting like that.
Probably true. Today there are generally premiums for working weekends or nights.
That philosophy doesn't really exist in legal terms when you have a for-profit corporation. There are B-corporations (eg Anthropic) which try to balance those goals, but I'm not sure there's a ton of existing law around that.

> The value of old growth lumber is the reason we should NOT throw out old windows.

Your 100 year old window probably has single paned glass, lead paint (which is an unmitigated disaster on a double hung window, possibly exceeding the degree of hazard from every other lead painted part of a house combined), and is likely installed in an uninsulated wall without a proper sill flashing.

That last point is worth some consideration. Essentially every window ever made either leaks or will leak. A small leak from a protected window [0] into an uninsulated wall cavity may not be terribly damaging. Add insulation and it’s a different story. Fortunately (per code! although many contractors completely ignore it for residential construction), newly installed windows are installed over a sill pan or other flashing that collects the water that leaks through the visible sill and directs it toward the outside.

So, sure, maybe it’s worth the money to remove a double hung window, carefully and safely remove all the paint, retrofit an insulated glass unit into it, and reinstall it with proper flashings. Or you can buy a new window and trash the old one.

[0] Old architecture was generally much better than new architecture at having little details that direct rain away from walls, windows and doors.

Both `.d.ts` and `.js` files can be created without understanding the TS type system (this is what JSR does). Creating both of those is just a TS syntax transform - one that is highly stable (esbuild and friends all do it already).
A PWA usually makes use of a few features, most commonly push notifications, local storage, and install to home screen. The last one allows a web app to open as if it's a standalone native app, basically only a web view with no nav bar.

It's these features that Apple is restricting to webkit.

> just like the American gas stations I grew up with: you pump, then go inside to pay

Within the similar timeframe I've always encountered the three-step process: you go inside and pre-pay, back out to pump, then back in to get your change (if you didn't just load $20 onto the pump and use it all, anyway). Even the 'pay inside' button on the pumps just flashes "See attendant" on the screen. Same when I worked at gas stations during the downturn. The only places I've ever found that'll let you pump before paying have been the most rural lil independent stations. Gotta love the varied experiences across this bigass country.
I notice Aha posts many jobs on LinkedIn - same job title and either same or varying location. The volume of posts is so much so that it seems spammy!

For example, on LinkedIn the search for "ruby on rails engineer in the United States" returns 5 aha Aha posts on the first page. And there are a total of 840 posts.

To ensure Aha is actively recruiting and not just vacuuming up resumes:

If you have land in a city then you are wasting it by not developing it, and that harms the city. If you have rural land though there isn't any reason not to grow something for long term.
Uhm, I'm still confused. Which position are you arguing for? Perhaps you can clarify what you're saying.

I'd be careful repairing swings and similar equipment: If you make a mistake, if you simply misunderstand some mechanic of it (e.g., part X needs to be loose because of tolerances for part Y), someone could get seriously injured.
Yeah, much of it will turn on what was explicitly agreed to and what the funds were actually used for -- but people have the wrong idea about nonprofits in general, OpenAI's mission is incredibly broad so they can do a whole universe of things to advance that mission including investing or founding for-profit companies.

"Nonprofit" is just a tax and wind-down designation (the assets in the nonprofit can't be distributed to insiders) - otherwise they operate as run-of-the-mill companies with slightly more disclosure required. Notice the OpenAI nonprofit is just "OpenAI, Inc." -- Musk's suit is akin to an investor writing a check to a robot startup and then suing them if they pivot to AI -- maybe not what he intended but there are other levers to exercise control, except it's even further afield and more like a grant to a startup since nobody can "own" a nonprofit.
from what i've read about this drama, its not worth considering

i think this is meant to divert resources away from developing GPT so that musk can get ahead in the AI game, hes basically in a position to do so
His manager wants control too, and that goes all the way up the chain.
I'm sorry, Your comment makes no sense to me.
Nice work! I built something similar years ago and I did compile the probabilities based on a corpus of text (public domain books) in an attempt to produce writing in the style of various authors. The results were actually quite similar to the output of nanoGPT[0]. It was very unoptimized and everything was kept in memory. I also knew nothing about embeddings at the time and only a little about NLP techniques that would certainly have helped. Using a graph database would have probably been better than the datastructure I came up with at the time. You should look into stuff like Datalog, Tries[1], and N-Triples[2] for more inspiration.

Your idea of splitting the probabilities based on whether you're starting the sentence or finishing it is interesting but you might be able to benefit from an approach that creates a "window" of text you can use for lookup, using an LCS[3] algorithm could do that. There's probably a lot of optimization you could do based on the probabilities of different sequences, I think this was the fundamental thing I was exploring in my project.

Seeing this has inspired me further to consider working on that project again at some point.

The for-profit arm is what's valued at $80B not the non-profit arm that Elon donated to. If any of this sounds confusing to you, that's because it is.

Hopefully the courts can untangle this mess.

See also "Noether Networks: Meta-Learning Useful Conserved Quantities" https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.03321 from 2021.

Abstract: Progress in machine learning (ML) stems from a combination of data availability, computational resources, and an appropriate encoding of inductive biases. Useful biases often exploit symmetries in the prediction problem, such as convolutional networks relying on translation equivariance. Automatically discovering these useful symmetries holds the potential to greatly improve the performance of ML systems, but still remains a challenge. In this work, we focus on sequential prediction problems and take inspiration from Noether's theorem to reduce the problem of finding inductive biases to meta-learning useful conserved quantities. We propose Noether Networks: a new type of architecture where a meta-learned conservation loss is optimized inside the prediction function. We show, theoretically and experimentally, that Noether Networks improve prediction quality, providing a general framework for discovering inductive biases in sequential problems.
Right for the wrong reasons. If we had a 7 day workweek and it's not as efficient, it's clearly because they are slacking off and have no team spirit.

Slacking off is the uncharitable way to describe at best middling returns and at worst burnout. no one's 100% 24/7. That's why more demanding jobs have even less hours, like firefighters or athletes. The brain is a bit more "durable", but is still just another muscle at the end of the day.
Nah, that open web advocacy place uses slimy tactics to muddy the situation while omitting details. Just look at that article you linked to: calling PWAs "web apps" is super misleading.

Unfortunately. As with the appendix.
You can just use npm and ship node_modules on your website. It's probably "huge" so you probably want to clean out dev dependencies first (`npm prune --omit=dev` is one way to clean that) and you might find it useful to search for big binaries to filter out and redundant directories that you don't need (libraries that still include all of UMD and CommonJS and ESM builds even though you only need one), and there may still be libraries that don't directly load in the browser and you need to spot bundle with a tool like esbuild to a vendor directory.

Mostly the only other glue you need after that is an import map.

I find this flow useful (ship an optionally pruned node_modules, spot build specific vendor libraries, add import map), especially for lightweight development/testing, and so I did document it specifically from start to finish for one of my libraries (which is sort of a "framework"), it includes a vendor build one-liner:

https://worldmaker.net/butterfloat/#/getting-started?id=setu...

(The Example section after the Dev Environment one shows the import map at the top of the example HTML if you are looking for that. I forgot that's where it was when re-reading this.)
Doesn't this get us right back to where we started from? Where you don't want users to be able to register arbitrary names :)
