I think it’s clear now that behind all this and past drama of OpenAI is Musk. Mask Off (pun unindented)
It's incredibly common, there are probably even more but these are the most asset rich companies. If properly structured even something like a local gym is going to be 6-8 entities. I took multiple entire classes dedicated to corporate structure. Multiple entities are needed to maximize liability protection and tax avoidance purposes.
> Wouldn't you have to prove damages in a lawsuit like this?

Not really; the specific causes of action Musk is relying on do not turn on the existence if actual damages, and of the 10 remedies sought in the prayer for relief, only one of them includes actual damages (but some relief could be granted under it without actual damages.)

Otherwise, its seeking injuctive/equitable relief, declaratory judgement, and disgorgement of profits from unfair business practices, none of which turn on actual damages.
Nothing I've read about that whole kerfuffle suggests that "investors" were the main people the ousted board members cared about. Kind of seems like reading back significance not intended into the original text.
You might want to add a section about what the company does.
Go was never supposed to replace C for OS or firmware.

Go was pretty explicitly designed by Google as a replacement for both C++ and Java in application code. It beats Java by having compiled executables with no JIT warmup, and it beats C++ by having memory safety (especially in the pre C++11 days when Go was designed).

A bunch of Go's design decisions seemed to be in reaction to the complexity that emerges in Enterprise/OOP Java, C++, and C# codebases. Therefore, no classes, no exceptions, and no generics until very recently. All that makes coding in Go feel like you're writing "new C". (Ken Thompson and Rob Pike being one the core team for Go probably also added to this).
The only way to truly make a ton of wealth is to break rules that others follow.
I mean, most Swiss French accents share common characteristics (e.g. stress on the penultimate syllable and descending intonation on the last) but having grown up near the Swiss border people there really differentiate the Genevois, Vaud, Valais accents, etc

It's not the same scale as Swiss German accents that are sometimes completely unintelligible for German speakers, but I have to admit there have been a few times I've been unable to fully understand someone speaking a thick Swiss French accent

Hi, I am Marius, a software engineer with a focus on back end development. I have 7+ years of experience delivering software solutions.

Recently delving into go/rust/wasm for blockchain with projects involving protocols as Ethereum/Solana.
Pitons are something I think are already controversial enough. Necessary in some rock types to enable climbing...but that's a debate for another day. I would say I lean to, only if necessary. Via Ferratas make me cringe and am wholeheartedly opposed.
And that, in turn, enables a lot of really troublesome feature creep.

Last year one of the dependency hell hassles I had to deal with stemmed from MLFlow, a Python package for organizing and collecting results from machine learning experiments, had a hard dependency on LLVM. Why? Because Numba, a JIT compiler for accelerating calculations in Python, uses LLVM. Numba, in turn, is required by SHAP, a model explainability tool. Producing SHAP explanations, in turn, is baked into MLFlow as a kitchen sink feature that is not needed by typical users and could easily be supplied manually or have been included in a separate add-on library.

Probably the most upsetting version of this that I encounter is that Apache Spark has all sorts of known vulnerabilities in all the transitive dependencies it pulls in to support every imaginable feature. The Spark project has declined to fix a whole heap of them, on the grounds that Spark doesn't call into the code that has the vulnerability. For a while they even wontfixed @$#% Log4Shell. This is a huge ticking time bomb in my book. Because Java dependency management is such that your Java process typically only gets one version of each JAR, and, if you're using Maven for builds, which version you get is unpredictable. So Spark can cause applications that use both Spark and the affected library, and thought they were using a patched version, to instead get whatever old vulnerable version the Spark project has decided to stick with.

Yes, there are lots of clever things you can do to mitigate this problem. But they don't happen by default, and require extra effort and no small measure of specialized Java ecosystem expertise to get right.
Using keywords in git commits as a sign of a vulnerability seems like an extremely flawed way of doing this. This seems just as bad as early "sentiment analysis" of tweets back in the day.
One Way to Preserve Alcatraz? Capture Everything in 3-D
The mental gymnastics that some tech bro has to go through to like Musk over Microsoft to the point that they still use the 2001 meme of "M$FT" is hilarious.

I know just about everything I could ever need to know about both companies and I have tons, tons of friends who absolutely love and have been at "M$FT" for 5-20 years.

I don't know a single person who likes working at Tesla or SpaceX and I used to live in Austin.

I'm also a literal linux kernel contributor so I don't have any bone in the game for Windows.

Musk is literally spitting right-wing nazi, anti-trans trash all over twitter and using his new news medium as a right wing mind meld tool while unbanning known anti-semites and racists like Kanye and Trump. Cool guy. I guess you might not care about that when you're a middle-class straight white tech bro on hackernews and might think M$FT is the big bad guy because Bill Gates locked you into Internet Explorer and adware 15 years ago.

The cynical answer: they realized it's actually advantageous to have a centralized package registry instead of importing from random urls, and as a for-profit VC backed company they'd rather not have their entire ecosystem depend on the Microsoft-owned NPM.

The optimistic answer: having a second registry makes the entire JS/TS ecosystem less fragile by not having a single point of failure.
A important point that programmers often overlook is that even writing a buggy but large software and managed to finished it with a lot of functionalities is fundamentally hard than a writing simple program. So unless you really are much better than them (and even so you need to make sure you are the only one actually going to rewrite it, which unlikely), you will have small chance doing better.

However there is a time rewrite is a good solution, that is when you find a lot of the functionalities the old code base provides are NOT actually needed. In this case, it is perfect (and you should rewrite it), because you are writing a much simpler software and you have a much greater chance of success.

It is similar with databases. Developers like to pretend that ten years worth of data doesn't exist or is of no consequence. They would like to pretend everything can be re-deployed from github. They fail to realize the database includes data from version .1 while the application version is now 4.7 with completely new business rules and application logic.
I won't say it is malicious. But I won't give Apple a pass either.

Ultimately, the truth is that a company like Apple doesn't want to deal with DMA. Their whole services business model (whether it be the App Store monopoly or the iMessage monopoly) relies on behavior that is counter to DMA.

It's also clear from their seething press releases about the DMA that they don't want to mince words about how much they don't like it or don't want to do it.

It's always easy for them to give a vague privacy / security argument to justify whatever benefits their monopolistic control. It's no different from the "Think of the children!" style of reasoning that politicians use to get what they want.

I think it's important for users to keep calling them out at every opportunity so they don't get away with it.
>Indeed, people generally spend time apart from the people they want to allocate their time to in order to labor.

Only because they cannot get everything they need from the people they want to spend time with, so they have to trade outside that group.

This game begins all the way when kids are deciding who to sit next to at lunch in elementary school. It’s a simple fact that time and attention are limited, so there have to be cuts made once demand exceeds supply.

Actually, it might even begin earlier, as I currently have a breastfeeding toddler who is always keeping an eye on who his mom is allocating her time to, and ensures that he is number one…much to the chagrin of his sister and me.

Elon isnt asking for them to be open source.
Yeah - Had you donated the funds as "restricted funding" in the nonprofit parlance, they would have a legal requirement to use the funds as you had designated. It seems that Musk contributed general non-restricted funding so the nonprofit can more or less do what they want with the money.. Not saying there's no case here, but if he really wanted them to do something specific, there's a path for that to happen and that he didn't take that path is definitely going to hurt his case.
Yet. But we are getting close to an event horizon, once enough orgs become dependent of their models.

Open source models are actually potentially worse. Even if OAI is not TBTF because of the competition, we have a scenario where AGI sector as a whole becomes TBTF and too big to halt.
This is no AGI. An AGI is supposed to be the cognitive equivalent of a human, right? The "AI" being pushed out to people these days can't even count.
How does that make the point you think it does? It's just the accounts of the US.

Recently came across https://www.warp.dev/ on HN, which includes a AI part for your terminal. That's a paid feature running nonlocal, but it's a start I suppose.
Hmm. For iPhones and Android, Apple and Samsung already have that covered. Their AI chips already exist and production must already be planned for the coming years. NVIDIA isn't going to contribute.

I heard predictions for increase in AI PC sales but I don't buy it. That remains to be proven.

So we are left with data centers. Isn't that right?

I think you shouldn't even need to add a disclaimer like "I'm no wumao" for stating things like that.

> a threat is not something that is reliably proven

So then are you going to agree with every person claiming that literal magic is a threat then?

What if someone were worried about Voldemort? Like from Harry Potter.

You can't just abandon the burden of proof here, by just calling something a "threat".

Instead, you actually have to show real evidence. Otherwise you are no different from someone being worried about a fictional villain from a book. And I mean that literally.

The AI doomers truly are a master at coming up with excuses as for why the normal rules of evidentiary claims shouldn't apply to them.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And this group is claiming that the world will literally end.

In the rush to monetize their assets, OpenAI and Microsoft are turning to the government contracting spigot:

https://theintercept.com/2024/01/12/open-ai-military-ban-cha...

Interestingly, this is also how IBM survived the Great Depression, it got a lucrative contract to manage Social Security payments. However, AI and AGI are considerably more dangerous and secretive military uses of the technology should be a giant red flag for anyone who is paying attention to the issue.

I wouldn't be surprised if the decision to launch this lawsuit was motivated in part by this move by Microsoft/OpenAI.
They didn't "turn it into" a for-profit though, they created a separate for-profit arm. This one is unusually successful but that's not an unusual thing for even "regular" charities to do in order to engage in some activities that they wouldn't normally be able to.
> This lets you do things like have the main page be the pre-page content and the included HTML be a heavily cached site-wide shell, and then another per-user include with personalized HTML - all cached appropriately.

If you can do your includes at page load time, you've been able to do this for 25 years with xslt; it's been built into the browser almost since the beginning of the web!

I've played around with doing exactly that: include a `/myinfo.xml` document that has information about your user, and then the rest of the page template just grabs `$myinfo/user/@name` or whatever wherever it needs. The neat thing is it has graceful degradation by default: if the request fails, then your include will be empty and you can treat it as a logged out page. So you can e.g. display the username and logout button in the top right if logged in, or a login button if not. You can also e.g. include a CSRF token in your info document and plop that into any forms in your page by just doing `value="{$myinfo/csrf-token}"` or whatever.
Well this will be an interesting circus for sure. Musk isn’t exactly batting 1000 vs other large tech companies in lawsuits but openAI sure as hell has done some sketchy bs
I’d recommend reading the paper “Attention is all you need” as it lays a lot of the foundational knowledge about transformers.

I’m no math guru, so I had to read the paper like 5 or 6 times to wrap my head around it.

I had to stop trying to understand how the math worked exactly and just accepted that it did, then it started to make sense.

Now going back I can actually understand some of why the math works.
I can't even tell that I'm blocking anything, but: "You are offline. This site requires an internet connection."

Just tell them that they already know them.

`yield*` is

- a superset of `await` so if you understand `await`, you understand `yield*`

- infinitely more powerful because it can handle any effect, not just Promise resolution.

- It's just javascript syntax that predates `await`
i'm not disagreeing with you that going from non-profit to for-profit should be challenged, but doesn't openai still maintain their non-profit? they just added a for-profit "arm" (whatever that means).

This is actually American law, neither English nor Roman. While it is derived from English common law, it has an even stronger bias against specific performance (and in fact bright-line prohibits some which would be allowed in the earlier law from which it evolved, because of the Constitutional prohibition on involuntary servitude.)

It's a problem for many companies that hire young "intellectual" work force. Fresh graduates spend four years marinating in woke juices on campus and then try to bring that culture to the work place. The leaders often bend, and not to the benefit of the business.

I know I am sounding like Elon Musk but I am not really "anti" progressive. The holier-than-thou moral crusaders without any life experience or deep cultural understanding often get so "woke" that they accidentally come out racist on the other end. They don't realize it, however, because they are too busy cancelling someone for what they said 25 years ago.

I often equate this movement to the "family values" religious crowd of just a few years ago - both are equally self-righteous and insufferable.
