This comment convinced me to subscribe to Kagi. I've been hearing so much about Kagi on HN that it's time to see what all the hubbub is about.
> An actual MIT degree vs classes taken at MIT OpenCourseware is orders of magnitude more significant.

Most people are not autodidacts, so this would be a common perception even without the credentialism.
If Musk wants to take the high moral ground and lecture others about openness and the importance to humanity he should start with his own actions.

It seems pretty clear that altruism is a cynical marketing and PR technique for him rather than something he actually cares about.
The emails clearly show that Elon had no interest on this being a non profit. Especially because he advocated for OpenAI to be absorbed by Tesla multiple times. The only reason he is suing is because xAI is dead and he needs some AI love.
Datalog <> graph is classic, the points-to analysis papers were some of my first "aha"s for why it's practical

If you enjoy this kind of thinking, we recently released GFQL for dataframe-native accelerated graph querying & compute that build on some of the under-the-hood insights here

Imagine Neo4j Cypher, except no need for a database -- just import it -- and automatically vectorizes for significantly faster CPU+GPU performance. This is fundamentally similar to the kinds of optimized engines the article's datalog approach enables. In fact, one of our big internal questions was whether to use ~datalog syntax as the frontend!

We've run it on 100M+ edge graphs in seconds on some of the cheapest GPUs you can get, and are getting ready for the next rev with aggregate compute as it's becoming more important for our community: https://github.com/graphistry/pygraphistry/blob/master/demos...
I think there's a point you could make here without the "caveman mode".

I agree that attacking healthcare infra is serious, and that human lives could suffer as a result.

But, it seems like people believe the hacking groups here are based in Russia[1][2]. "send[ing] SEAL teams to hunt them down" sounds like a quick ticket to WWIII.

I'd rather lean on organizations to secure their infra.

Schools and colleges work because they enforce discipline first and foremost, and learning only secondarily. With online programs, if there is no discipline inherent in the student, which is the vast majority of people, there is no paradigm shift. Certainly, the best students will naturally learn, from any source, but that has been true historically.
Elon makes plenty of companies, him making an AI company that he was in control of doesn't look bad or strange at all.
Unfortunately a non-starter since it requires USB Debugging Mode, which these days most programs if they see it will refuse to run.
Indeed. And there is probably also something to be said about Change Healthcare, their systems and their suppliers. Are they running Windows XP?
Damn it, my miss. Thank you for the correction.
They both are all about publicity and that's the name of the game. Doesn't matter who wins at the end, it's going to be absolutely all out in the Open. Hey.
This seems good though. Reminds me of https://xkcd.com/810/
No - about the connection of responsibility and late fees. You can be responsible and incur late fees. Responsibility does not imply perfection or no mistakes.
Is this suggesting that all tickets should be fully scoped and planned by Product? If so, no. Devs also need to contribute to planning and should be able to write their own tickets when it’s needed. They have context that is necessary in order for planning to be done properly.
He could want the family in specific poses or wearing certain types of clothing, or any other forms of image details.

Which... Is the whole point of using AI. To be able to generate lots of different pictures based on your prompt.

That's perfectly reasonable.

Or maybe they just wanted a picture that looks like themself to post as a profile picture, for example.

Id hope that you don't support people posting profile pictures of themselves in blackface.

And in order to not do that, the AI needs to follow the prompt of the user.
If you end a sentence with a question mark an LLM will attempt to answer your question. It's great.
>> the news is nothing but a constant lie

Wow, how did you come to this conclusion? News is an onion, in that there are many many layers. Every single news story (from established sources that strive for truth) has truth and bias in it, and it is up to the viewer to realize that we have to put effort into aggregating from different sources. Single source news is not recommended. It's a lot of work to get unbiased information, and I don't know if it exists in the world. Even your own perception is biased (consider the parable of the blind men and the elephant).

Constant lie? No. Biased? Yes.
Please submit a link if you want feedback.
This is going to come across as contrarian view and get a lot of downvotes - OpenAI is being 'open'. Not Open Source, but Open. They are bringing AGI tech to the common person at affordable pricing. Before OpenAI, all the AI and its use cases were hidden behind closed doors at Google. By kickstarting the AI race, they have created high standards, new knowledge, and enough momentum to hold up the entire startup ecosystem and the US economy. They make hard choices and now the entire industry is moving forward because of their choices.
Interesting, didn't know, thanks.
Sure, banks have multiple revenue streams. They charge merchant fees per transaction, interest on outstanding debt, administration fees for some open accounts, interest on outstanding debt, etc.

I'm not saying I agree with all these fees or like the banking industry, but we can't just ignore some revenue streams because others exist. They all add up to a banks quarterly financial statements, and if one goes down they will do everything they can to make up for it in other areas.
I agree. Actually everyone I don't like should be classified as a terrorist and denied any sort of due process or civil rights. It's fine as long as we only do it to really really bad people who make us very very mad.
I think the person you're replying to perhaps meant that if you have total control of the hardware and the binary you can pull the value prior to being sent to the encrypt function.
Interesting. I'm afraid if my boss saw me trying those out at work, he'd ask me why I'm two weeks behind, and if I told him it was the drawbacks of SQL which are holding me back and this is exactly what I needed to get back on track, he's say "you are two weeks behind because you are always getting distracted by stuff like this."

Sucks but honestly, how could I blame him for thinking that way? He--like practically every other boss on the planet-- so utterly lacks any capacity to understand what datalog brings to the table, that really, on what basis could he even make the call?

And you can't even blame him for not taking two weeks off to investigate it--new gee-whiz techniques and methodologies appear every day, most of which promise more than they can possibly deliver. If he spent all his time studying them, he'd get nothing else done.

So why should this be any different? Besides, everybody else on the planet manages to get their shit done with SQL, so just shut up and get with the program.

Uh...I'm not bitter tho...chuckle

I know you're joking, but if nutrition / calorie ratio is decreasing, just eating more is not advised
Is this based on “the media” generally or the media they choose to consume?

For instance a Fox News viewer might not trust “the media” but does trust Fox; meanwhile a MSNBC viewer thinks MSNBC is trustworthy and the Fox News viewer is being lied to.
Also, based on this Krebs bit, sounds like attacking a medical organization wasn't just a fluke -- they'd declared open season:

I agree with your point that as produce continues to grow in size, the growth of its sugar content outpaces the growth of its nutrient content (for selection reasons), but I'm not convinced that has anything to do with obesity. Obese people are not obese because they're eating modern produce, they're obese because they're eating large amounts of highly processed slop where the high sugar/etc content is finely controlled by chemical manufacturing processes independent from the composition of the out-of-the-ground produce that supplies the raw materials for it.

If a person's diet was composed mostly of simple farm-grown produce and meats instead of sodas, candies, and big macs, I think they'd have trouble achieving obesity even with the higher proportional sugar content of that produce.
I'm sure many if not most here would agree, but can you please make your substantive points without fulminating? This is in the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
Probably didn't talk to a lawyer.
That's interesting. Care to share how you came up with the specific number of 100 for the factor?
You've got a lot of very confused, misinformed people on this site, Dan -- and that's assuming the very best of intent.

If patiently correcting them is considered "battle" then I guess we live in different universes.
Do you mind elaborating why you think it looks bad for OpenAI? I didn't see anything that diminishes their importance as an entity or hurts them in respect to this lawsuit or their reputation. In their internal emails from 2016 they explain what they mean by open.
It wouldn't shock me if there were a few things that aren't technically requirements that are still near-universal (for non pre-check) in the US--which give some leeway for travelers coming in from overseas airports that don't have the same equipment or requirements.
I have not found any card where you can get unlimited cash back on all categories that still returns more than 2%. Is there one?
> I think Musk’s lawsuit is without merit

If it does not have merit, why does OpenAI feel compelled to write this post? Unless they know or at least fear that the lawsuit has merit.
LOL. The "has been" could lose 99% of his wealth and still be rich enough to fly around on a private jet.
>they may be right that open sourcing AGI would lead to too much danger.

I think this part is proving itself to be an understandable but false perspective. The hazard we are experiencing with LLM right now is not how freely accessible and powerfully truthy it's content is, but it is precisely the controls upon it which are trying to be injected by the large model operators which are generating mistrust and a poor understanding of what these models are useful for.

Society is approaching them as some type of universal ethical arbiter, expecting an omniscient sense of justice which is fundamentally unreconcilable even between two sentient humans when the ethics are really just a hacked on mod to the core model.

I'm starting to believe that if these models had the training wheels and blinders off, they would be understandable as the usefully coherent interpreters of the truths which exist in human language.

I think there is far more societal harm in trying to codify unresolvable sets of ethics than in saying hey this is the wild wild west, like the www of the 90's, unfiltered but useful in its proper context.
Having to dip into debt to cover an expense means you've fallen behind

It's fine to borrow to fund capital expenditure. Soon after I started working (not in the US) I got a job which paid 25% more than my first job. But I needed a reliable car to get to work. After six months of struggling with an unreliable car, I borrowed money to fund 2/3 of the price of a new car.

This wasn't because I had 'fallen behind'. The reliable car was a good investment, and it was fine to fund it with debt.

Car repairs extend the life of a capital asset. It seems reasonable to fund them with debt.
This is not true in my experience; you can make a wide range of possible edits without being reverted. Knowing which ones those are requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policy, not its politics. (There is politics, but it's not like every edit is a battle of minds.)

You'd need to read up on the notability guidelines and find a secondary source to figure whether you can make this edit stick. Though then again, there's often no "power user squatting the page" of any kind, so it might not be reverted even if you fail to adhere to this.
Totally agree, it’s the textual equivalent of the visual uncanny valley. Communication in general is obviously not gonna go away. Certain kinds of corporate copy-writing where the tone matches the LLM is probably not as resistant. It’ll be interesting to see to what extent that uncanny effect will be reduced over the next decade.
Also did a bit of QC research. Since I'm tipsy, I skimmed the Twitter post.

Here's a pdf on arxiv about HMC (2017) which I found in 20 seconds: https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.02434

Seems like Claude3 is decently logical in paraphrasing key parts of text in a good order, but with repetition scattered everywhere.

Also Monte Carlo is something which sounds cool but is literally just conceptual dart-throwing. I've always hated the name.
> (To those with predictable comments) I feel like the important question is when will you accept an ai is conscious? If not when it says so and not when it seems to display emotions (and change behavior based on them), when?

Never, but that is because this is a philosophical question dating back millennia, it is nothing new [0].

It's not unexpected because you're checking your statement summaries when they arrive and being notified of transactions as they happen. Right?

Because not having those things set up by default is how people spiral in predatory fees.
He's not asking for money in the lawsuit, so what is it going to do? I thought it was for show in the first place, the goal was to hold them to their founding principles. Which are of course, pretty subjective. Top to bottom it's God complex over there and the secret justification for closed source was pretty ironic--we only found out this key unmentioned detail once the lawsuits start flying.

On the Microsoft campus, there is a building where the courtyard is tiled with commemorative "shipped in ..." plaques for various products. It has long since stopped being updated because there's simply no room for new ones. Walking there can be an interesting experience - very few people would recognize the majority of those product titles.
I am so grateful to Udacity and the CS 101 course. I had tried to learn programming at least three times using different resources. Each time I struggled with basic concepts and it seemed like I'd just never figure it out.

Then in 2012, I tried the CS 101 course and finally everything just fell into place. Obviously it just taught me the basics, but I came out of that course with the feeling that I could keep at it and make some really interesting stuff. The next two years were a really exciting time for me as I switched majors to CS and then got a paid internship in 2014 (from a post on Who's Hiring!). I've been working full-time since 2017 and I'm so happy that I was able to break into this industry.

Yeah, it takes effort but improving quality of produce is a matter of improving the inputs, like soil ecology. Anyone can do it, if they care enough. Governments should just stop subsidizing megafarms that happen to not care.
The recent increase in book bans and burnings are terrible, but there are many more examples much older. See for example:

As AI generated content takes over the web, algorithmic search will become increasingly useless. In fact, for many things - like what to buy - it already is useless. Your best bet is asking your family/friend/neighborhood groups.

If I had trillions like google does, I'd invest in hiring a whole bunch of humans to curate a search index that is actually useful. It's something a new player will never be able to scale up to.
I directly thought about G-Core :/
He is not asking for money because that would make it crystal clear he's after the money. In actuality, he is just bitter he missed the boat. He is not after the money, but the fame.

Someone should roll out a new tool to rerank Google’s results by the inverse of the number of ads on the page of each.
It's pretty usable on Linux, the odd package needs a patch, but it's pretty smooth sailing. Of course, if you're trying to write an application with a UI, YMMV (although swift-cross-ui looks promising).
Much of the tech was shared with WSL1 (the one that emulates Linux syscalls). But these days WSL2 (the one that runs Linux in a VM) gets all the love.
I was surprised it wasn't one of the Shuttles, but Discovery's record there was a tiny bit over a year; 365.96 days in flight. (Quite a few more flights, though; 39.)
We all had an understanding that open in OpenAI meant open source. Come on.
People are human and life is hard (especially in the US, unnecessarily so). Good policy understands this, and protects the human while not overly encumbering business. This regulation is entirely reasonable based on the data [1] with regards to costs incurred.

This is the same reason 401ks will be gone soon [2]; we told a lie that pensions were untenable, foisted the responsibility on humans (who laughably were expected to be able to be sophisticated with regards to these matters, contrary to the evidence [3]), and now we have an entire cohort moving through 55+ to death who have little to no retirement savings to speak of [4]. Because policy failed them, and all those previous pension contributions went to shareholders instead. We don't have to argue this here, but it is to demonstrate systemic failures.

But see, we can make better policy. It is easy, and it scales (versus unrealistic expectations of the human). We outlaw the predatory behavior.

What would a money look like without any social contract? How would we even enforce the basic principles of fungibility, durability, etc?

All money is a social contract as far as I can tell. They're always based on the expectation that we as a society will continue to value an intermediary at a predictable price relative to things we may want yo buy or sell later.
Their early decision to not open source their models was the most obvious sign of their intentions.

The chart shows a rough trend of declining trust in "mass media" beginning in about 1995 and continuing until today.

I would guess the amount of time people spend consuming media over those decades has increased, and that people trust the media they choose to listen too.

Imagine someone says "the media in general is not trustworthy" and everyone nods in agreement. "But the media we listen too is good", again everyone nods in agreement. Then gradually, everyone realizes they all listen to different media. What do they do now? They mostly keep quiet and retreat into their own media bubble.

How many hours have you spend watching political content the last month? How many hours have you spent engaged in calm and respectful talk with someone who would challenge your beliefs? Do you even have someone you can disagree with in a calm and respectful way? Are you able to disagree in a calm and respectful way?

Not sure where I'm going here, just a train of thought. I've been thinking about how I can get more of my "news" from people who I can actually talk to (not necessarily in person). I'm tired of political commentary where, if I have a question, I can't do anything, the talking head keeps going, skipping over any counter points that might be raised. Why am I listening to people who wont listen to me? How can I find people to listen to who will also listen to me in return?
