The critical issues for OpenAI is that structurally the cost of collecting data and training models is huge and makes the previous wave of software + physical business models (i.e. Uber, Airbnb, etc) look cheap to operate in comparison. That makes OAI more reliant on cloud providers for compute. Also their moat & network effect is dependent on a more indirect supply of user generated content. Perhaps there's an advantage of using IP to train on as a non profit as some of the articles above argue.

My father was a wiz with a slide rule and understood the relations between logarithms and powers as a matter of necessity - he could look at a number and have a rough idea of what the natural log of that value was at a glance. I had a calculator - I am an expert at pushing the buttons but outside of a few select important numbers if you throw a value at me I'm not going to guess correctly - log10(7000) is clearly between 3 and 4 (it's in the thousands) - is it closer to 3.7, 3.5 or 3.9?

Tools don't improve skills they replace but, at the same time, are those skills that are being replaced important to practice? If you've worked even briefly with vector math or game programming you know sqrt(2) is 1.41 being able to summon that value at will is essential if you're regularly doing vector addition - but sqrt(23)? Probably never going to come up.

At the end of the day we need to decide whether these tools are helpful or not - in the very limited scope of UI building I think the answer is yes... a lot of front-end surface-level development has one right answer. For other things I am skeptical - and even for front-end work a developer that is considerate with their CSS classes and tag nesting will be a darling of the UI team compared to a developer that gets it to look right but does so with code that's difficult to understand or modify.
How is the name pronounced?

>> Lide...is recorded almost exclusively in sources from the southwest of England. In the late 13th century...

The Great Vowel Shift happened later than this, so perhaps it was something like LEED-AH?

>> The etymology of ‘Lide’ goes back to the Old English name Hlyda

Looking up a pronounciation for Hlyda, I find:

hlȳda, m.n: March. (HLUE-dah / ˈhlyː-da)

Or was it more like LOOD-AH?

Juniper (YC W21) | Senior Software Engineer | NYC | Full-time | juniperplatform.com
Juniper operates at the messy financial infrastructure layer for US Healthcare. We’ve built an end-to-end insurance billing system for recurring care, starting with Autism clinics.

Healthcare in the United States runs on private and public insurance billing, but providers spend huge amounts of time on faxes, phone calls, and error-prone legacy systems to get paid. That’s not why they got into care.

What’s worse, these systems aren’t hugely successful—clinics regularly get back 80% what they know the insurance company should pay. Those missing dollars could be used to hire more care providers to help more kids, but instead line insurance companies’ pockets.

We’re changing that.

At Juniper, we’ve built an end-to-end billing system. It starts with ingesting from a clinic’s EHR, then create, validates, and submits claims to insurance providers across the country. If claims need corrections or appeals, most of the time we can handle those automatically or our CX and Operations team use our in-house internal tools. We also handle patient invoicing for co-pays, co-insurance, and deductibles (we never send anything to collections.)

Our typical paid rate is above 95%.

We are a team of 25 with strong product market fit—we’ve had to push out onboardings because engineering can’t build quickly enough.

You’ll be working with an engineering leadership team from AWS and Stripe to get doctors and clinicians back to work helping kids.

"British prosecutors say that from 2020 to 2023, Marsalek ran a ring of five U.K. based Bulgarians who are alleged to have spied for Russia, directing them to gather information on people with the aim of helping the Kremlin abduct them. Officials say Marsalek was used by Russian intelligence services as a middleman to put distance between them and the spy network as it targeted individuals across Europe."

...

"While running Wirecard, Marsalek helped the GRU, Russia’s military intelligence agency, and the SVR, its main overseas spying organization, pay intelligence officers and informants and funnel money into conflict zones in the Middle East and Africa, according to the officials.

At the same time, these Western officials suspect Marsalek was gathering information on other customers of Munich-based Wirecard, most notably Germany’s main BND intelligence agency and the Federal Criminal Office, the country’s equivalent of the FBI, and handing it over to Moscow."

...

"Germany’s foreign intelligence service, the BND, as well as the country’s equivalent of the FBI, the BKA, told parliament during a public inquiry that ran from September 2020 to June 2021 that they had used Wirecard credit cards and bank accounts for their agents abroad as well as for paying informants at home and abroad. Senior German intelligence officials confirmed this to The Wall Street Journal. "

...

"Marsalek ordered Wirecard Bank employees to breach data-protection and other rules to compile data about clients, according to testimony by former executives to German prosecutors. Several intelligence officials said it could have provided information about intelligence agents’ work. Wirecard’s former chief product officer, Susane Steidl, said Marsalek had overruled objections to collecting customer data and told her in 2019 he needed the data for the BND—something the agency categorically denies."

At the rate things are currently changing, I won't be very surprised if non-trivial server capacity gets located in orbit thanks to some successor to Starlink.

This is such an interesting attitude. I hope I don't inherit any of your projects. I have the opposite take... that the world needs him more than ever. Tailwind is the pump and dump of web development. I can definitely see the allure when it comes to hammering up the fastest possible prototypes with minimal knowledge required, but in reality it's 1 step forward and 10 steps back.

It's legacy is going to be more of bummer than a lot of folks realize I'm afraid. What are you going to do when the Product Manager comes in with the new design comps after you've hard coded all that html with the disparate output of ChatGPT and/or various pasted in snippets from libraries like Shadcn?
Because well, for me we are designing tools not doing manual labor. The tool is designed once and well. Then the computer executes it 50 million times. Automated tool design is cool but the ROI for us is not developer hours minimized but number of users.
Great observation. When working on a scrappy project (e.g. MVP), solutions that just work might suffice (far left of bell curve).

If CoPilot bumps these crumby solutions into 'average' solutions then it's a big improvement under those circumstances.

But when making highly refined software, CoPilot's suggestions might be relatively mundane; a degradation in quality.
It also talks about red-shift. Olbers couldn't know that, but even if our universe was here forever we still wouldn't have a lit night sky.

> The document says they will open source “when applicable”. If open sourcing wouldn’t benefit the public, then they aren’t obligated to do it.

From their charter: “resulting technology will benefit the public and the corporation will seek to open source technology for the public benefit when applicable. The corporation is not organized for the private gain of any person"

I just thought it might be important to provide more context. See the other comments for a discussion on "when applicable". I think this misses the point here.

> secret meetings no one is aware of, secret slack channels, secret projects, etc.

Secrets you aren't aware of, not secrets no one is aware of.

My job title isn't PE, but it's structurally the same thing. I spend a couple of hours a week dealing with HR and other bureaucratic issues, either bubbling up or coming down. I spend most of my hours a week in meetings that none of my employees would want to have to sit through. I deal with dozens of emails and IMs a day that I wouldn't want to distract my folks with. More time is spent dealing with vendor issues. And we're a regulated industry, so I get to make sure I'm supporting keeping our GRC folks happy. And of course budgets. I spent about half today convincing a line of business exec not to initiate a project that 1) would require far more resources than he thought it would, 2) carried more risk than I was comfortable with, and 3) would make life miserable for the people who report to me. Something like this happens to some extent at least once a week, usually more than once. I have had bad weeks where I have spent 90+ hours dealing with some disaster. And then I try to find time to do the training and other skills update work so I don't sound like an idiot when I talk about our teams work.

Basically, my job is to shield them from all the bullshit they shouldn't have to and don't want to deal with. I don't typically bore my folks with the details of how I spend each hour, even (especially?) my direct reports much less their directs. I trust they're working, they should trust I am.

> but I rather work around 30h/week or so

Oh...you're just projecting your work ethic on other people. Classy.

> Does 20.1 percent market share constitute a monopoly?

Depends how it's used. Wabash v. Illinois set the precedent that a far-minority can be a monopoly if they block a government-designated common carrier. Europe's DMA doesn't even mention monopolies at all, and instead sets a new compliance bar for large tech-related companies. Japan's legislation is headed in the same direction.

Seems entirely feasible to me that the App Store or Safari policies could be seen as obstruction of a common service. Apple's de-facto tax hasn't been explicitly blocked in the US yet, but it also has never been explicitly sanctioned. Without guidelines like the DMA in place, Apple is flying blind against US regulators. Microsoft got trapped deep in that hall of mirrors, and nearly paid the ultimate price.

> Is that not what the free market does?

The free market is supplanted by a government that ensures that only a non-lethal portion of rat feces is processed into your container of SPAM or McDonalds meal. They prevent you from exposure to what businesses call, "profit maximization".

If you have a good government, they treat you a little better. They punish the companies that violate consumer rights and scrutinize anticompetitive behavior when it shows up. The free market chooses between regulated competitors; if you think that's unfair, you can move to a country without the rat-feces regulators and see how your breakfast tastes over there. Then we can all be happy.

> When companies make poor choices customers punish them. (Budweiser 2023)

Your evidence is proof to the contrary of your claim. Budweiser wasn't "punished" for making an anticompetitive move, they were boycott because insecure Budweiser customers had a slow news cycle. If Apple had customers protesting for the same reasons, they'd never even know.

"Poor choices" notwithstanding, Apple customers couldn't be assed if they were angry. Suicide nets go up at Foxconn and the harshest words HN or MacRumors can muster is 'poor choice of manufacturing partner'. Conscientious startups and their Macbooks, nary separated any easier than protesting trailer parks and Budweiser.

I caught up with an old friend a few weeks ago that just started a new career as a reclaimed wood salesman. Thanks to Pinterest, home improvement shows, etc, demand is at an all time high.

According to my friend, the largest seller of reclaimed wood in the US is a subsidiary of a fencing company that happens to have a significant number of government contracts to fence in federal grazing land. They replace their fencing every ~5 years and then sell the wood as reclaimed at a significant markup. It is technically reclaimed, but he said that they have to spend a lot of time removing those stapled on lumber yard price tags.

Less reputable operations force age lumber in the sun or use hydrogen peroxide, and then just lie about it being reclaimed.

His company mostly sources their wood from the demolition of old barns and warehouses. The senior sales people that trained him said that their job use to be much easier as they could just offer demo companies free removal. Now the DIY crowd is going around offering to buy boards off structures, and owners are starting to view that old eyesore of a barn as a cash cow. They had to bring on more sales people just to do the leg work and negotiate with owners.

Anyway, that convo is what was on my mind when I reacted negatively to the main post.
FYI, In the article:
