>isn’t this the old: free as in speech, not as in beer

Hardly. Free beer and free speech do have different meanings, but freeware isn't something you have to pay for because it's "free as in beer".

In OpenAI's case, "open" isn't open as in anything normally associated with the word in the context.

Open as in private club during business hours for VIP members only is how they are trying to explain it, but understandbly, some people aren't buying it.
It makes sense as exactly that. You show the bank that you can manage a float. When you’ve demonstrated you have the executive function to do so, your score goes up.
For people without one, I think ChatGPT free version is also by far the best option available no?
It's literally what you wrote...

>"That doesn't mean the artists themselves have glamorized the subject.. "

>And let's not be obtuse and ignore the fact that you replied to GP's claim that Lou did not intend to glamourize addiction with "Heroin was his most famous song. What the hell are you talking about already?" You haven't outright stated much of anything of substance, but your argumentative tone has invited discussion anyway so here we are.

OP's claim? Did you just jump in on that one post? Did I quote something that led you to this conclusion?
Altman says OpenAI investigation will soon close, staff brace for more surprises
Isn't bot and crawler management one of the most popular uses of Cloudflare? They already have a lot of mindshare with developers and operations.
At this point most people didn't think Elon was a good guy even before these emails leaked
from what I can tell, founders are often really inept in this regard

they “have a guy” for this stuff and it’s completely random luck if something beneficial financially occurs to them

employees are simultaneously inept and believing the founder about anything, while also having a lack of transparency even if they aren’t inept
Be sure to check up on sources, this cites Schor, who is not completely honest in her rhetoric. You might also be interested in asking Schor herself why she omitted some research when she started her series.
And then imagine how dangerous it would be if someone could just fix their HVAC unit on their own! Or their own solar charge controller! What would the world come to next?!
It's not like you could have predicted Broadcom would buy it. The best tools for the job always change over time. It's why I'm not using Eudora for email anymore.
Except no city has only two landlords, and most cities anyone who owns can be a landlord if they want - and will have plenty of incentive if either Alice or Bob goes much higher than fundamentals no?
It's because they were whispering.

This has the hallmark of a Broadcom product call. Milk subs for what you can and underinvest in the products.
I'm not making a legal argument.
Credit card balances are up in nominal terms even when credit growth hasn’t happened. Throw in income growth and it shouldn’t surprise people that credit card debt is up.
Ask HN: Self-Service Customer Information System for Financial Services Firm?
I work at a company that provides financial and tax-related services, including company registration, annual audits, and tax declarations. Our current process for collecting and updating customer information is manual and time-consuming: we communicate via WeChat, and then manually update data in Shimo docs. This not only lowers our efficiency but also increases our manpower costs significantly.

We are looking to transition to a more automated system where clients can log in to a platform, update their information through a form, and submit service requests directly. For instance, if a client needs an annual review, they should be able to log into their control panel, submit the relevant form and payment, and have our team receive the updated information immediately without manual input.

However, my expertise is in finance, not in software development, so I'm turning to the HN community for help:

1. Are there any user management or control panel systems suitable for such a service model?
2. If you have implemented similar systems, could you share your experiences or suggestions?
This is very creative! we had MBTI test for personality test. Now, we have a quiz to check our career path? cool!

Does it say he found him anywhere? All I see in the article are emails to him from 2016
The main topic of the article is interesting, but the Not Tetris and Navy Fire Control Computer YT video asides/references were also new to me and fascinating.
// But funding Murdoch unconditionally so he can further contribute to the problem we're trying to solve, doesn't seem like a good path forward. //

What can I say? sigh you ain't wrong about that....
1) They defied their original charter. 2) separately: Creating a for-profit entity is not what happened here. They transformed into a for-profit entity and discarded the non-profit mission. There is no vestige left of the original non-profit. Same funds, same code, same IP.
The difference is OpenAI had a reputation to protect, Musk can't sink any lower at this point, and his stans will persist.

The fact that they slinging mud at each other just proves the mutual criticism though, and provides an edifying spectacle for the rest of us.
It's the buzzword for "make an LLM work on custom data" such as a codebase.

Depends on the Unix. I believe MacOS enforces unicode or at least does some form of unicode normalization.
I bought a copy of TASCHEN's "The Elements of Euclid" with illustrations by Oliver Byrne from his book in 1847. As I was working through a lot of the later problems I could see myself causing these sorts of errors due to a skill issue. For example as I dragged the pencil vertically down a ruler the wooden side of the pencil (above the lead) rested on the ruler. As I dragged the pencil down my arm lowered and my wrist changed orientation so that the lead of the pencil was now resting against the ruler as I completed the line. It was honestly so frustrating to see the corners and arcs of my diagram look like abstract dog shit because I was too much of a dumbass to use a ruler correctly.
None of those are anywhere close to as easy for the average person to access as OpenAI’s offerings. And none are as good as GPT-4 afaik.

There are many arguments one can make against OpenAI. I just don’t see how “they don’t want to make AI widely available” makes any sense at all. A world where OpenAI never existed would clearly be a world where AI is far less accessible to the average person.
Do you think normies are using GNU software on Linux desktops? Or do you think they use software like Dolphin, Nautilus, Steam, Chrome, Firefox, Plasma, etc. A desktop environment doesn't expose GNU/Linux. It requires people to open a terminal to get to it. ChromeOS has its own terminal that uses bash and has its own set of coreutils for people to use.
Joins are great for OLTP workloads but are horrible for all but the simplest graph algorithms. A datalog-based system makes for a nice story, but it would not survive benchmarking.

Pick a classic algorithm, say triangle counting, implement it in Datalog, compare against GBBS [1] and come back here to report results.

Come on there has to be a better Bot out there im really surprised nobody has made one
Not OP but this is helpful. What other advice can you share for maximizing conferences?
Recursive queries are the killer application for datalog.

As a nuts-and-bolts developer, I like <https://www.cozodb.org> for datalog-style data operations. It interoperates nicely with python, C, and Swift. It comes with some basic graph algorithms, data loaders, etc. I haven't found any bugs, but fair warning: it's not 1.0, and the developers seem to be pivoting to AI vector data support.

Data modeling is a lot closer to NoSQL key/value stores, or FoundationDB. The append-mainly model requires maintenance compaction. I typically tokenize before putting anything into the database and never had scaling problems with large but not internet-scale uses. Explain-query is a bit opaque.

Most of these comments seem to conclude it is biased media that has lost trust, but I think that’s gaslighting by media & politics.

I have lost trust in all media.

I did a simple exercise on Google News, I blocked a media source if:

1. The title was clickbait
2. The reported story turned out later the be false
3. There was no actual “news” (i.e. something happened and verifiable facts about it were reported)

In 6 months I had blocked every news source provided.

Media is a gimmick for attention, with a veneer of a cause (whatever your cause of choice is).

What’s worse, there is a shared bias about the world within the writer class. Having known the truth of more than a few reported stories by reputable journalist, I was stunned how often what was written had no grounded whatsoever in what actually happened. It was simply an anthology of opinions by people with the credentials to give a viewpoint on a topic they had no personal insight into.

Now that I’ve eliminated media from my diet, I spend far more time investigating and learning.

Just like junk food takes the place of nutrition without providing it, media is narrative without instruction.

This wasn’t always the case. Look at newspaper articles from the 1920s. They are basically Wikipedia articles as told by a friend.

I’m shocked how many otherwise intelligent and well-educated people truly feel they “won’t know what’s going on in the world” without media. Fact check even two or three stories with experts from your personal network. You’ll learn quickly that media isn’t solving that problem and doesn’t deserve the job.

The kernel running within Android is meaningless. It's not the GUI or the runtime. It performs commodity functions. It's like saying that PEX has 50% of all indoor plumbing share. It doesn't provide any distinguishing, features and the user doesn't care about it. It's cheap, that's its value.
The evidence they presented shows that Elon was in complete agreement with the direction of OpenAI. The only thing he disagreed with was who would be the majority owner of the resulting for-profit company that hides research in the short to medium term.
Google scrapped "Don't be evil" a long time ago.

Now it's some kind of "Kiss the ring and have respect for the hand that feeds you" or something.
There are applications for that on Linux (qemu and box64/box86 being the best known), they just aren't installed by default on most distros.

A large part of why the binaries ran well on macOS migrations is that each time the migration came with a substantial processor speed increase. This meant that emulated/translated binaries were able to roughly match their previous performance, while native binaries for the new architecture were significantly faster. On Linux, however, the most common reason for cross-architecture tech these days is running x86 binaries on something like a Raspberry Pi, which means a slower processor on top of the translation layer - so non-native apps see a huge drop in performance.
I was relying on my own self hosted seaexNG before moving to kagi. I still have and use the instance from time to time. Using kagi is better and made my life easier. I stopped worrying about rate limited, bad UI and actually managing and following updates. It also did not solve the problem of ranking. Garbage results still showed. Kagi solved all of these problems and more and I didn't have to spend couple of hours per month to follow updates and manage my instance.
I’ve subscribed just yesterday. Cannot be happier.
Yes but when the politics goes about destroying the company you have a real problem.

See Apple in the 90's for instance.
and they are manufactured in Taiwan... this might not end well.
I presume they persevered the spacing to avoid any accusations of being misleading as to the redacted information.

This kind of in place redaction seems to be the typical way that documents are submitted to courts, or at least it was the same way that the emails Elon provided were redacted[0].

Are you positioning your wrist differently for three fingers than for one to place your fingers at a particular angle on the trackpad? Or just to reach further into the trackpad to make room for the other fingers? If it’s the former, you don’t need to do that, it will work at whatever angle feels comfortable to you.
There arent a lot of great winter activities. Skiing is one that many people do and love. In the summer there are way more options like biking, surfing, climbing, hiking so people divide out by interest groups but mainstream winter activities are limited.
Those are good reasons to be mad. It's a shame Apple refused to submit Lightning to USB-IF, licensed the connector design, and then added additional DRM on top of the license fee.

They did a good job with Thunderbolt in the past, hopefully they get the memo and take a similar road in the future. It would really suck if future conveniences get blocked because Apple ignored the standardization process.
OS/2 was a massive leap in the right direction. It was well ahead of its contemporaries of the time.

Of course it wasn't all roses, like the contemporaries of the era it had issues, which would be more prominent if more people had used it. It's worth remembering that, by todays standards, in the late 80s, computers were rare. Most businesses didn't have one at all, most homes certainly didn't (and a significant portion of those that did were not-Dos machines.) My Computer Science class of 1990 mostly consisted of folk who'd never touched a computer before. No-one I knew had an Apple Mac, they were expensive.

Windows 95 wasn't as good as OS/2 3.0 (aka Warp), but it marketed the idea of computers to the general public. Only once the 486 shipped did you start to see computers as "normal". But even by the end of the 90s we'd sell hardware when selling software.

I'd argue that we're absolutely in the future that OS/2 envisaged. Ultimately all paths converged and (probably starting with XP) we've been living that future.
They reached out to me, then asked to communicate over Signal, and then Session.
I'm not sure who they are attempting to convince of what with this communication?

Nobody who doesn't know who REDACTED is cares what REDACTED thought of the issue.

This is again some of the least professional comms I've seen from a Microsoft entity. We'll see what the evidence is ourselves if and when the case goes to court.

You are advocating here for an unresolvable set of ethics, which just happens to be one that conveniently leaves abuse of AI on the table. You take as an axiom of your ethical system the absolute right to create and propagate in public these AI technologies regardless of any externalities and social pressures created. It is of course an ethical system primarily and exclusively interested in advancing the individual at the expense of the collective, and it is a choice.

If you wish to live in a society at all you absolutely need to codify a set of unresolvable ethics. There is not a single instance in history in which a polity can survive complete ethical relativism within itself...which is basically what your "wild west" idea is advocating for (and incidentally, seems to have been a major disaster for society as far as the internet is concerned and if anything should be evidence against your second idea).

Crew Dragon doesn’t have the most trips to space, it’s just the entry/reentry vehicle with the most time in orbit.

That seems disingenuous given that the shuttle is the only other competition, and had the additional responsibility of providing life support and accommodations for the entirety of many missions, whereas Dragon is only used for transport.
I've been on Kagi for some months now (six-ish?). Best subscription I carry.

I originally signed up purely out of spite for the SEO scam that is Pinterest (Kagi lets you blacklist domains), but have since been repeatedly pleased with other rankings.

I love that MDN tops the list for DOM ish searches and w3schools is not even in the results.

Using Kagi often makes me forget how awful the Internet can be.
And here I was thinking it was about Soyuz, which hasn't really stopped flying.
Yes, high end production and low end production are on entirely different farms, especially for fruit, and have different supply chains.
Who is the redacted person from email #2?

I'm guessing email #3 is referring to Larry, whom Elon has had a lot to say about publicly on the topic of AGI.
IMHO the number of flights seems like a much more important metric of durability, since virtually all the stress will be imposed on the frame during launch and reentry. It doesn't make a huge difference if you spent 8 or 180 days docked to the ISS in between.
It’s good that this arrives at a time with downward pressures on housing costs (I think?), because otherwise these savings wouldn’t stand a chance against being gobbled up by rent increases.
Thank you so much for your feedback!

Data syncing is definitely the next step, will try to keep it simple.
I would interpret "authentic" here to mean that they are coming from real and authentic HN users who happens to be kagi users. The intersection is probably high enough.

A lot of HNers would have very positive views and comments about any particular thing, which does not mean they are associated with them.
Is the mindset of exception handling so different than robust C code? In both cases you have to choose to diligently handle errors and check the code/docs for all cases that can come up. Writing code with the occasional try/catch block isn't too different from writing C and not checking error conditions
> not a single person I've talked to, from highly technical to the layperson, has ever spoken about LLMs as arbiters of morals or truth

Not LLMs specifically but my opinion is that companies like Alphabet absolutely abuse their platform to introduce and sway opinions on controversial topics.. this “relatively small” group of leaders has successfully weaponized their communities and built massive echo chambers.

Wow, thank you for sharing. Tons of wisdom in this comment.

I myself only had the realization recently (5 years into this career) that being a good software engineer isn’t about learning any particular programming language. The fundamentals of all languages are roughly the same, and understanding those fundamentals deeply is the knowledge which will be transferable over time. I learned this lesson in an online course called “Programming Languages”, taught by a professor at University of Washington.

Question for you - do you think the “engineering” side of “software engineering” has been forgotten over time? Did it ever exist?
In my eyes this is a straw argument.

"[T]otally OK not to share the science." I think the reasonable average person would disagree with that. And, it would go against certain goal & financial transparency principles that the IRS demands to bestow the 501(c)3 designation.

(e.g. see here https://www.citizen.org/article/letter-to-california-attorne...)
I should also note that the wild west was not at all lacking in a set of ethics, and in many ways was far stricter than the east at the time.
True. I also took few computer related and many non-career oriented courses in social science/ history etc. It was fun and then life got busy.

> but I find it's hard without a concrete objective of some sort to really go deep on a topic.

I think this is key. With gazillion courses out there I don't know what is my end goal while randomly choosing interesting courses.

Further, work has become increasingly crappier where no matter what problem to be solved just plan to shove all stuff in Microservice/Kafka/Gitlab/Kubernetes meat grinder. And I remain unmotivated to take any course on these topics.
It just means that LLMs are an interpolation of everything on the internet. They would seem less like they have a point of view or an opinion on things.
chuckle so if you had $100,000 of stock, you would in no way feel like you had been ripped off if you logged in tomorrow and it was only worth $50,000? Because...that $50,000 was transferred to the CEO's stock account? After all, the $50,000 didn't just disappear, it transferred to the CEO's stock account, so it all evened out...

...man if you really feel that way, can I interest you in some stock? I'm thinking about making a start-up...
The pointing device doesn't suck, just the defaults (and probably the graphical configuration tools - I always use CLI and editing config files but most open-source GUIs are horrible). If you're willing to spend 5-10 minutes tweaking, you can get exactly the same performance or better just by playing around with some settings.
