The wine (and also e.g. scotch) industry runs its core business on not-that-old product, on which it makes almost all of its money, and may keep a relatively tiny niche of really old stuff for sentimental (for the owner), PR or branding purposes. It doesn't work that way for commodities - a forestry or lumberyard selling a few really old oak logs doesn't help them charge a premium for their 20-year old lumber in a way that works for a winery or distillery.

ah, sorry for the confusion. That's because the last 20 trades are excluded from the table/chart if you don't have the appropriate access level to view, in this case a Gold membership. That means when you are looking at the chart / table with starting year 2022 you are only seeing the trades up to 3/24/2023 instead of the present.
Musk is claiming that he was a party to the founding agreement of OpenAI, and they violated that agreement.
To set a HP on Linux, Folly just does a relaxed load of the src pointer, release store of the HP, compiler-only barrier, and acquire load. (This prevents the compiler from reordering the 2nd load before the store, right? But to my understanding does not prevent a hypothetical CPU reordering of the 2nd load before the store, which seems potentially problematic!)

Then on the GC/reclaim side of things, after protected object pointers are stored, it does a more expensive barrier[0] before acquire-loading the HPs.

I'll admit, I am not confident I understand why this works. I mean, even on x86, loads can be reordered before earlier program-order stores. So it seems like the 2nd check on the protection side could be ineffective. (The non-Linux portable version just uses an atomic_thread_fence SeqCst on both sides, which seems more obviously correct.) And if they don't need the 2nd load on Linux, I'm unclear on why they do it.

(This uses either mprotect to force a TLB flush in process-relevant CPUs, or the newer Linux membarrier syscall if available.)
Sure, but look at it from Musk's point of view. He sees the rise of proprietary AIs from Google and others and is worried about it being an existential threat.

So he puts his money where his mouth is and contributes $50 million to found OpenAI - a non-profit with the mission of developing a free and open AI. Soon Altman comes along and says this stuff is too dangerous to be openly released and starts closing off public access to the work. It's clear now that the company is moving to be just another producer of proprietary AIs.

This is likely going to come down to the terms around Musk's gift. He donated money for the company to create open technology. Does it matter if he's wrong about it being an existential threat? I think that's irrelevant to this suit other than to be perfectly clear about the reason for Musk giving money.
Hightouch |Remote (North America)|Full-time | Backend Engineers

Some background on Hightouch - our mission is to help companies leverage their customer data to grow. We started with the problem of “Reverse ETL” or helping companies sync data from their data warehouse (e.g. Snowflake, Databricks, etc.) to 200+ SaaS tools (Salesforce, Marketo, Facebook Ads, etc.) without coding. Since then, we’ve evolved into a suite of tools around the warehouse (identity resolution, data enrichment, event streaming, etc.). We’ve raised a Series B and scaled to $18m+ ARR in 3 years with 600+ customers including Fortune 500 co’s like Spotify, the NBA, PetSmart, etc.

We are hiring for:

I mean, lots of companies do the same thing, and it's just part of the job hunting process. If you can't stand it, you don't have to join that company, just find another one. I don't like all that stuff but there is nothing worthy of picking out Meta.
Right, but I'm saying that it's all modeling choices, all the way down. Extend the model to include thermal energy and most of the time it holds again - but then it falls down if you also have static electricity that generates a visible spark (say, a wool sweater on a slide) or magnetic drag (say, regenerative braking on a car). Then you can include models for those too, but you're introducing new concepts with each, and the math gets much hairier. We call the unified model where we abstract away all the different forms of energy "conservation of energy", but there are a good many practical systems where making tangible predictions using conservation of energy gives wrong answers.

Basically this is a restatement of Box's Aphorism ("All models are wrong, but some are useful") or the ideas in Thomas Kuhn's "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions". The goal of science is to from concrete observations to abstract principles which ideally will accurately predict the value of future concrete observations. In many cases, you can do this. But not all. There is always messy data that doesn't fit into neat, simple, general laws. Usually the messy data is just ignored, because it can't be predicted and is assumed to average out or generally be irrelevant in the end. But sometimes the messy outliers bite you, or someone comes up with a new way to handle them elegantly, and then you get a paradigm shift.

And this has implications for understanding what machine learning is or why it's important. Few people would think that a model linking background color to likeliness to click on ads is a fundamental physical quality, but Google had one 15+ years ago, and it was pretty accurate, and made them a bunch of money. Or similarly, most people wouldn't think of a model of the English language as being a fundamental physical quality, but that's exactly what an LLM is, and they're pretty useful too.

Blame our litigious society for making this kind of interaction impossible. Plus when is the line crossed between "friendly banter" and straight-up harrassment?
This can happen in theory, but it is pretty rare. What you or I might call frivolous is often entertained in the court of law, and serial abusers of the court system may still issue hundreds or even thousands of attempts at lawsuits. This may be for monetary gain or to use the specter of the lawsuit as a cudgel to influence or intimidate.

This can also be exacerbated by ‘friendly’ (corrupt) courts that allow or even encourage this behavior.
Unsurprising turn of events. Musk can't stand not being at the top of the food chain, and it's been widely reported on that he's felt "left out" as AI has taken off while he has been consumed by the disaster he created for himself over at X -

https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-ai-boom-openai-wal...

I can imagine Musk losing sleep knowing that a smart, young, gay founder who refuses to show him deference is out in the world doing something so consequential that doesn't involve him.

Specific performance is a last resort. In contract law, the bias is towards making the plaintiff whole, and frequently there are many ways to accomplish that (like paying money) instead of making the defendant specifically honor the terms of the original agreement.
I'll be the person. This is capitalism. It's exactly capitalism's whole shtick. It's a plague.
If they are non-profit, they do not make billions in profits. I suspect you mean revenue :)

Exec compensation is another thing, but also not a concern I am super sympathetic to given that for profit companies of similar magnitude generally pay their execs way more they just are not required to report it.
Totally agree that difficulties comes from doulbe letters but Korean it is not sothing between German and French in terms of ease of use. As I know Korean doesn't belong to any language family, making it unique and not directly related to any other language. English, like German and French, belongs to the Romance-Germanic group of languages so Hangul is equally impressive for native English speaker, native French or German speaker.

The fact that this could be so easily reversed probably provides evidence in favor of the argument that this was a purely punitive move by Apple as a way of throwing a tantrum against DMA. Somewhat akin to an abusive spouse saying "See! You _made_ me hit you!"

If this sort of behavior doesn't ring alarm bells in the minds of the regulators I don't know what will.

It might appear as a correlation due to sampling error, but the two variables have no dependence with each other. There is no correlation with it being February 29 and the bug that was described.
This is what actual reporting looks like.

Look at most news stories these days. There's some kind of conflict, two parties don't agree on something, and they report both "sides" of the story. Because the writers don't know what really occurred, it's common that a news story will give equal weight to lies and truth (or semi-truth and semi-truth).

In the insanity of normal society, this is actually promoted as a good thing. News stations pat themselves on the back for being "fair and balanced", and use it as proof of being "unbiased".

It's the opposite of unbiased, when there's no bias there are no "sides". You can't take both sides in a conflict, each "side" being a heavily biased opinion in itself, and combine them together to create a lack of bias. That's not how it works, two conflicting partial truths don't equal a whole truth, two conflicting partial truths just create cognitive dissonance (FUD).

Now look at this news story, it's quite different from what I described above. It's proper investigative journalism where the goal is cutting through opinions and second-hand information to find the actual truth. It's a major accomplishment and something to be applauded.

In my heavily-biased opinion, it's the job of a free press to seek and report the truth, to create new stories like this one, not to report "both sides".

And to illustrate when I'm saying, look at what happens to be the #1 story on my Google News at this moment: https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/29/middleeast/gaza-food-truck-de...

CNN doesn't know exactly what happened, there's conflicting stories, and all we know for sure is that a bunch of hungry Palestinians were just killed while trying to get food. Here's what CNN found:

According to Palestine it's Israel's fault.

According to Israel it's Palestine's fault.

Yes, clear as mud. It's the perfect kind of reporting for adding to the controversy and acting like there's no clear right & wrong, or viable solutions to the conflict. It's how I would do things if I wanted to extend the war as long as possible. However, I'm biased toward peace and preservation of life, so it's quite clear to me what's causing food riots and subsequent massacres.
If you're willing to put in extra effort, you never need to have scheduled downtime.

A few simple examples.

1) Deploying new code? Spin up a new server behind your load balancer with the new code. At this moment, you have both the old and new code live, so everything needs to still work with both versions out there. This requires extra work. Then you can take down the old server running the old code.

2) Updating a database schema? Fork the database, apply the schema update to the fork. Ensure writes can be applied to both the old and the new schema. Update your code to read from the new schema. Remove the old database schema. Again this process requires extra work.

The analogy for this is "changing the tires on a car while driving down the highway". It's easier to pull over and change a tire, but you could find a way to change a tire while driving if you really needed to.
Most important question: why did he file this lawsuit? What does he intend to gain out of it?

Is it a first step towards acquiring/merging OpenAI with one of his companies? He's offered it to buy once before, in 2018 [0]. (He's also tried to buy DeepMind—page 10 the OP filing).

Diving into JTAG
I don't want to be in the position of defending Elon Musk, but in this case his complaint seems to be that OpenAI claims one thing and does another. If X.ai started out telling everyone it's for-profit and closed off, then it's not hypocritical at all for it to be that. It's something else, sure.
If you have any links detailing the internal structure of the Israeli 'Gospel' AI system or information about how it was trained, that would be interesting reading. There doesn't seem to be much available on who built it for them, other than it was first used in 2021:

> "Israel has also been at the forefront of AI used in war—although the technology has also been blamed by some for contributing to the rising death toll in the Gaza Strip. In 2021, Israel used Hasbora (“The Gospel”), an AI program to identify targets, in Gaza for the first time. But there is a growing sense that the country is now using AI technology to excuse the killing of a large number of noncombatants while in pursuit of even low-ranking Hamas operatives."

This is probably a marketing bug on our part. While we did want to design for TypeScript from the outset, you can definitely happily write and publish plain JavaScript code on JSR. We probably need to do a better job explaining and featuring this.

Offsite.com | Remote | Full-time | Fully remote US-based company

Looking for a mid-level to senior fullstack TypeScript engineer. Experience Building Marketplaces Required.

Offsite ([www.offsite.com](https://go.offsite.com/inquiry?utm=engineeringjd)) makes it easy to plan team retreats, offsites, and conferences.

Used by hundreds of top startups, Inc 5000s, nonprofits, and other organizations, Offsite is already a marketplace that has facilitated $10M+ in spend on offsites, with a user base growing 50% quarter-over-quarter, and a team that has hit or exceeded sales targets for 8 months in a row (and counting).

Offsite.com is VC-backed (raised $3.1M seed from Automattic, makers of WordPress, Forum Ventures, and 60+ angel investors), break-even (ie not burning lots of money), and growing.

The engineering team is building the platform and marketplace for planning, booking, and managing Offsites. We’re looking for the next engineer to help bring our marketplace to life (basically Airbnb for offsites).

Ideally you’re experienced building various aspects of a B2B or “prosumer” marketplace, and are looking to develop new products today as an individual contributor. Everyone on the engineering team is building the marketplace from the ground up, and shipping key features such as a Stripe integration to facilitate marketplace transactions, messaging, support for multiple vendors, attendee and vendor dashboards, etc.

We work with TypeScript across the stack, using NextJS, Node, and GraphQL.

The ideal candidate would have at least 2-4 years of experience, works collaboratively across the company including with non-technical roles, excited to travel to 2 annual Offsite offsites and wants to help develop a category-defining product and company.

The starting salary for this role is $100,000 - $150,000 USD (depending on experience), plus healthcare, a monthly Remote Work stipend, an annual Health and Wellness stipend, unlimited PTO, and the ability to work from anywhere. You will also be eligible for equity options in Offsite.

I'm sure you're right, but I wish the two were taught together more - the "how" (CSS syntax) and "why" (design principles) should really be approached together, with a bit of talking about accessibility thrown in.
This lawsuit makes me wonder how much Elon Musk had to do with Sam Altman's firing as CEO. The complaint specifically wants OpenAI to focus on its (allegedly promised) nonprofit activities, not the for-profit company.

If Elon had been involved--which the lawsuit seems to imply--I imagine he had to have something to do with Altman's ouster.

Public trust non-profit should rightfully get damaged. A lot of non profits like hospitals, churches or many “charities” are totally profit oriented. The only difference is that they pay the profits to their executives and their business friends instead of shareholders.
This is great!

I was just talking to a coworker today about "libraries" vs "templates". You could have made this a library, but I think it's actually way nicer for it to be code I can copy/paste, so I can integrate it however I want. Some things are better as templates that I can copy.

If I have a weird use case or want to integrate it deeply into something else, the library doesn't need to accommodate that.

(the tradeoff of course is, if you update the library, my copied code won't update, so obviously this doesn't work for everything, but I think it works for some things!)
Which is funny.

If you are shareholder of the non-profit, do you not get to share any of the fat gains by the profit side?
