It was never dead. It was simply being unshipped in the EU until they could get it to be compliant. Compliance takes time and money to do and there are probably not many engineers for building out such a feature and they may have other priorities to balance.
Even pension funds can't think on that length of time. Really only institutions like university can. Lots of Oxford colleges are known to look at these time scales. It has been around for As someone said Harvard will probably be around longer than the united States.

Hey, the idea of delegating this to the front end is very interesting! I've integrated Auth0 before and felt that it was clunky for designing more customized flows from the UX/UI POV.

1. With the new server components paradigm, React and Next have gone through a lot of changes around how SSR is done. Are your helper functions (currentUser(), currentOrg(), etc.) compatible with both the old and new approaches? Or is adapting to both one of your current technical challenges?

2. Are you open to candidates in the Americas time zones (LatAm)?
In my opinion, living old grown trees >> old growth wood > new growth wood.

Modern 'new growth' forestry is very sustainable, but old growth poaching still happens quite often in the US. I have friends on the regulatory side of logging and I've see illegal activity first hand.

I know that this article is not advocating for the logging of old growth trees, but focusing on the idea that 'old growth is better' can cause customers to value it enough that the extra profit incentivizes illegal harvesting.

Personally, I would like to see densified wood become a viable option. Even lightly densified new growth meets or exceeds the qualities of old growth wood.

Using Big Tech and paying money are two different things. A US user is worth about $13 each quarter to Facebook. A customer on a cam site will pay more than that for a minute private show probably. One porn DVD, etc.

Hi,I'm the responsible for a software shop based in Rio, we have more then 5 years of experience building solutions for oil n gas companies, fintechs and early stage startups developing from MVPs to final solutions.
This. Even when we ignore the whole ethical aspect of "AI for benefit of humanity" and all that philosophic stuff, there are very real legal reasons why OpenAI should never have been allowed to switch to for profit. They were only able to circumvent this with their new dual company structure, but this should still not be legal.
Moreover, they probably did spend the $44m on what he wanted. That was a long time ago...
Musk is even more cartoonishly villainous than MS. This is pretty much Lex Luthor against Darkseid. Unless it results in mutual destruction, doesn't matter who wins, everybody else loses.

My take is that Elon is suing OpenAI because he left OpenAI before they opened a commercial venture, which means he doesn't benefit from the companies current valuation, so he's using the courts to try to strong arm the foundation into giving him some shares, basically using the courts for harassment purposes.

I'm hoping for both to get fucked, and if this takes this whole "AI" hype away with them, so much the better.
Suburbia is not cheap at all, not even in the short run.

The reality is that it is very expensive and heavily, heavily subsidized. US style Suberbia is a result of the US government massive policies in encouraging suburbia style housing and highway building during the New Deal and then in the Post-WW2 boom, plus of course the Red-Lining and destruction of city centers.

These places never ever pay for themselves. You can look at the data gathered by 'Strong Towns' and 'Urban3'.

In fact the poorer parts of the city/state and of course the town center are subsidizing the richer suberbia. Its a fucking travisty of epic proportion.

Suberbia is expensive to set up initially, needs massive infrastructure backing to be viable and is horrible energy inefficient.
A NY Times article says "Though Mr. Musk has repeatedly criticized OpenAI for becoming a for-profit company, he hatched a plan in 2017 to wrest control of the A.I. lab from Mr. Altman and its other founders and transform into a commercial operation that would work alongside his other companies, including the electric carmaker Tesla, and make use of their increasingly powerful supercomputers, people familiar with his plan have said. When his attempt to take control failed, he left the OpenAI board, the people said."

That would let OpenAI lawyers keep this suit tied up for a very long time.

There was a personal assistant who stole around GBP 4m from several of her bosses at Goldman Sachs. One of the bankers finally noticed when a 6-figure donation to Harvard bounced. One of other the victims later testified that his investment account felt "one or two million light".

Mine works perfectly. I use it 100+ times a day, including now to reply you in another tab. If yours doesn't, you might like to buy a new mouse. In any case it isn't a reason to change the default.
Vestigial has often meant “we don’t know/haven’t identified what function this serves” … yet.
The server that takes your TypeScript and does all of the work to publish a nice package on npm is great. But why wouldn't they publish to npm after that? Why make a new registry that is introducing fragmentation?
I find it interesting that there's no mention of private information after ~2020. No whistleblowers, private demos, chats with Altman, or anything not found in mainstream news.

Is that required for filing a case, or is Musk operating from the same information as all of us?
I uploaded the pdf into GPT4, and this is the output:

"Elon Musk is suing OpenAI, alleging breach of contract, promissory estoppel, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair competition under California Business and Professional Code, and accounting. Musk claims that OpenAI deviated from its founding principles, which emphasized developing artificial intelligence (AI) for the benefit of humanity, open-sourcing their technology, and not pursuing profit maximization. The suit highlights concerns over OpenAI's shift towards proprietary practices, particularly with the development and handling of GPT-4, and alleges that these actions contradict the organization's original mission and agreements."
I think terrified is the wrong take here.

Apple could fully comply with the letter and spirit of the DMA and remain profitable in the EU, but they would be less profitable. They probably have a very good estimate of how much less profitable, and they're doing their best to minimize the impact.
Also, in Japan, they are requiring old growth timber for home construction in certain northern areas for earthquake resilience.

The reasoning is that old growth lumber handles repeated compression better as they are denser, harder, and firmer. New growth timber is squishier due to it being softer with less tightly grouped growth rings.

At first I thought that made no sense, then I realized building a house out of sponges is not ideal. Fighting collapse is sometimes more about rigidity in the correct place rather than absorbing all shakiness everywhere.
How would you do it? Use a hydrocarbon powered vacuum?

Every way of picking this up has a conceptual downside.

The key is doing something anyway
OK, that makes it somewhat more palatable..
It is worth noting that a "lowball" from Meta is still probably more than a "best offer" from the vast majority of other companies.
how did you test this?
And transferred everything they did to that arm. I'm all for tax avoidance, but the rules should apply to everyone equally. Small ma and pa businesses don't have the money to hire armies of lawyers for these legal machinations
You can say how it is run if you found the University and put your conditions in the legal Charter of the organization. It is a problem if the university Chancellor later decides the primary purpose of the university is to save puppies without going through the correct process to change the charter.
Can we please include 4DWW as a tag in the description?

We need to normalize Four Day Work Week and including 5 extra characters in the description is a very small price to pay.

I would agree but the filing is at pains to argue the opposite (seemingly because such a determination would affect Microsoft's license).
What is it then if not a grift? It makes promises without absolutely any basis in exchange for personal information.
This is not a reversal. They are allowing PWAs built on webkit, not other browser engines. Their argument was that they cannot reliably make sure that installing a webapp on other browser engines is secure. And that they do not have a way to do so reliably before the deadline, and other important things (with more uses)take priority. On Webkit, they already did it ages ago.

In a few months, once we see newer browser engines on iOS, we will see calls that it is unfair Apple allows for one kind of web apps (on their own browser engine) but not others and that is self-preferencing.
Creating a separate for-profit arm is trivially easy.
Add-on: We are a start-up with about 30 people, we have a product-market fit and over 150 paying customers who love our platform and services.

Platform team: The team is building a complex and highly interactive web platform that caters to two intriguing and challenging use cases. One allows our customers, sewer professionals, to manage their sewer networks. The second one for our internal users, who perform quality control on our AI predictions.

Computer vision team: Our team develops ML models for sewer defect detection and focuses on scene understanding, object detection, and semantic segmentation in sewer inspection videos. We also specialize in SLAM, 3D reconstruction, camera pose estimation, and processing point clouds to convert video data into accurate, actionable insights. This work supports cities in efficiently managing sewer systems to improve environmental conditions and mitigate urban flooding
Wow the people employed by the evil gigacorporation like working for the entity shoveling mountains of money at them, what a completely unexpected stance for them to have.

M$ is no different today than they were in the days of their EEE strategy, they've just fooled the techbros, as you put it, into believing they're still not the scum of the earth anymore.
what do you mean by "make money"? do you mean "make profit"? or do you mean "earn revenue"?

if you mean "make profit", then no, that is simply not true. they have to reinvest the money, and even if it was true, that the government is so weak as to allow companies specifically designated as "non-profit" to profit investors - directly or indirectly - would simply be further proving my point.

if you mean "earn revenue", I don't think anyone has ever claimed that non-profits are not allowed to earn revenue.
Thankfully JSR won't be capable of a left-pad situation where packages can be unpublished - published packages are immutable[1].

As for the potential for disagreements over whether or not a scope should be transferred, that is a big reason why we want to figure out community involvement in governance sooner rather than later. We are gathering potential volunteers who want to discuss becoming a community moderator - if anyone would be potentially interested, they can sign up to join that conversation[2].

Could it lead to probing and discovery?...
You are right, but regulatory sleight of hand is what passes for capitalism now. Remember Uber and Airbnb dodging regulations by calling themselves "ride-sharing" and "room-sharing" services? Amazon dodging sales taxes because it didn't have a physical retail location? Companies going public via SPAC to dodge the scrutiny of a standard IPO?
One of the daft developers here - Thank you!
Regulatory worried?

The EU stated they will investigate this. And somehow Apple decides less than a week later that the feature will return.

Looks like regulators should not be worried about Apple complying in the medium term.

DMA has a catch-all: any circumvention can lead to penalties. You can try to play games like this, but it will just lead to fines.

I would expect a few more U-turns, especially on the fee structure.
> I think this is downvoted because (and I could be wrong) he could have paid a breakup fee instead of buying the business.

No, he couldn't, the widely discussed breakup fee in the contract was a payment if the merger could not be completed for specific reasons outside of Musk’s control.

It wasn’t a choice Musk was able to opt into.

OTOH, IIRC, he technically wasn't forced to because he completed the transaction voluntarily during a pause in the court proceedings after it was widely viewed as clear that he would lose and be forced to complete the deal.
I do too but it's outdated. As a trivial example there's `place-content` which is not mentioned (it's in the comments). So, it's not the "Complete Guide to Flexbox" (I've learned the hard way not to name things so pretentiously)

Lots of stuff on the site is out of date. Some is just flat out wrong with comment closed. Maybe that stuff will get fixed if it's taken up again but many of these issues existed before it was sold.
Well, I guess a difference is musk’s endeavors never legally chartered with a mission to put serving humanity above profit. OpenAI had a pretty clear charter and it’s veered far off that. Tesla never pretended to be anything but a for profit electric car …. well and solar roof and battery and charger network and well ok, but never made any legally binding commitment to another motive than profit.
Not Starlink directly of course, but a state or entity who will mutually benefit. Given Elon's recent public statements, I don't think I need to specify who.
No, they spent $1m saving puppies, then raised more funds and did other things. That money Musk donated was spent almost a decade ago.

He has a competitor now that is not very good, so he is suing to slow them down.
That's very interesting, thanks! I just learned that courts actually tend to grant monetary damages more frequently than specific performance in general.

However, I have always maintained that making the plaintiff whole should bias toward specific performance. At least that's what I gathered from law classes. In many enterprise partnerships, the specific arrangements are core to the business structures. For example, Bob and Alice agreed to be partners in a millions-dollar business. Bob suddenly kicked Alice out without a valid reason, breaching the contract. Of course, Alice's main remedy should be to be back in the business, not receiving monetary damage that is not just difficult to measure, but also not in Alice's mind or best interest at all.
Isn't this how drugs get developed? Even worse, the research is done using public funds, and then privatized and commercialized later.
You would have an argument if Elon Musk didn't attempted to take over OpenAI, and proceeded to abandon it after his attempts were rejected and he complained the organization was going nowhere.

https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/24/23654701/openai-elon-musk...

I don't think Elon Musk has a case or holds the moral high ground. It sounds like he's just pissed he committed a colossal error of analysis and is now trying to rewrite history to hide his screwups.
Perhaps the regular charity version of this should also be challenged. This case looks somewhat egregious as the for profit arm was able to fire the board of the non-profit parent. Likewise, openAI is selling "PPU" units, it's entirely unclear if anybody knows what these actually are.

It's highly likely in my uneducated opinion that OpenAI will be told to adopt a standard corporate structure in the near term. They will likely have to pay out a number of stakeholders as part of a "make right" setup.
This is spam. Don't apply.

We assigned a task to one guy in Ukraine and two months latter he didn't complete it. One of our colleagues did it in three days.

Given the vast discrepancy in turnaround times -- I would seriously start to wonder about the person on your own team who was responsible for cutting out and assigning work to people outside the company.

Who apparently had not even a ballpark idea of how long the task should take. And who perhaps didn't do such hot job of communicating the requirements, now did they. And on top of that, apparently went to sleep on the task of, you know, tracking the status of the project, checking whether the intermediate deliverables (were there any)? actually worked and where up to team standards in terms of quality, etc. And yet they're still on the job, for some reason.

People love to blame freelancers, and they especially love water-cooler tales about how some project (whether by a person/team inside the company, or outside), and then was done by another person/team in a small fraction of the time. But usually there's more to the story.
> "for the good of the world", and in cases where it's not obvious how that should be applied the 5 of us would decide."

It's hard not to be a bit cynical about such an arrangement.
where do you live? I think any civilized country has many local ngos that help abused animals, or provide mental support for children or abused women, or support some medical initiatives, etc...
As much as it's appealing to point out hypocrisy, and as little sympathy for Altman, I honestly think that's a very reasonable stance to take. There're many powers with which, given the opportunity, I would choose to trust only exactly myself.
We went from "six days thou shalt labour" to the 5-day week for a number of reasons. Unions were one reason, Henry Ford was another [1][2]. His original argument was that if we give workers an extra day of leisure time, there'll be more demand for leisure products to consume - like, you know, Model T cars. Then, Ford noticed that his new 5-day workers were so much more productive per hour than before, that it more than made up the difference for the extra hours not worked.

So I'd have two criticisms of your "X-20%" figure. The first is that just because individual workers are only in 4 days a week, doesn't have to mean the factory only operates 4 days a week; indeed a lot of steel factories do some kind of shift work anyway because firing up a furnace from cold is hugely inefficient. Sure, that means more heads total and so more HR expenses than if everyone worked 5 days, but I don't think it adds up to the 20% you quoted.

Secondly, as in Ford's case, the extra productivity you get this way might be enough to more than offset the losses, and even increase your profits.

[2] https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/american-... (But note, the claim that moving to a 5-day week was a pay cut needs some context. The 5-day week started in 1926. But in 1914, Ford already doubled his workers' wages from $2.50/day (which was already not bad by the standards of the time) to $5/day, almost unheard of at the time - though initially with strings attached [3] which were later removed. So working 5 days a week at Ford's factory could well have still brought in more net pay a week than 6 days a week at a competitor in 1926.

They basically did, though. The nonprofit does nothing except further the interests of the for-profit company, and all employees get shares of of the for-profit company.

It's not unusual for nonprofits to have spinoffs, but it is unusual for the nonprofit to be so consumed by its for-profit spinoffs.
