Actually Open[Technology] pattern implies a meaning in this context. OpenGL, OpenCV, OpenCL etc. are all 'open' implementations of a core technology, maintained by non-profit organizations. So OpenAI non-profit immediately implies a non-profit for researching, building and sharing 'open' AI technologies. Their earlier communication and releases supported that idea.

Apparently, their internal definition was different from the very beginning (2016). The only problem with their (Ilya's) definition of 'open' is that it is not very open. "Everyone should benefit from the fruits of AI". How is this different than the mission of any other commercial AI lab? If OpenAI makes the science closed but only their products open, then 'open' is just a term they use to define their target market.

A better definition of OpenAi's 'open' is that they are not a secret research lab. They act as a secret research lab, but out in the open.
In this case (like, as you say, common) the current centre-right caretaker government, and even moreso the elected-but-not-yet-coalesed incoming government are pandering to populist ideas which includes "immigration bad", reducing (the already reduced) tax breaks on people who move as knowledge workers, threatening to cap numbers, etc. It speaks well to a lot of voters, especially when lined up with "but there's not enough housing anyway", but it will, imo, cause damage to economic growth.

You're arguing that LLMs would be a good user interface for AGI...

Whether that's true or not, I don't think that's what the previous post was referring to. The question is, if you start with today's LLMs and progressively improve them, do you arrive at AGI?

(I think it's pretty obvious the answer is no -- LLMs don't even have an intelligence part to improve on. A hypothetical AGI might somehow use an LLM as part of a language interface subsystem, but the general intelligence would be outside the LLM. An AGI might also use speakers and mics but those don't give us a path to AGI either.)
The "singular they" has been a thing in English for a long time (since the 14th century according to Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they). I'm a non-native speaker as well, and wasn't taught about it in school either (maybe that has changed in the meantime?). The first time I consciously noticed it is probably in the Sting song If You Love Somebody Set Them Free (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_You_Love_Somebody_Set_Them_...), which was his debut solo single, so is already quite old itself (1985, although I probably heard it later).

The claim that the valuation was artificially deflated due to conflict of interest seems stronger than the concern about liquidation preferences. FanDuel's 10x valuation growth from 2015-2020 backs up the charge of deflation.

I also thought this was kind of entertaining in their method to try and tar and feather. The highly selective (much dated) e-mail comms in a very roughly packaged statement. If that's how they are trying to protect their public image it doesn't sell their position strongly if anything it makes them look worse. It looks very amateurish almost childish to be honest.
You can always find quotes from people who are off in their estimates, but even a glance at the data [0] should convince you that things are not going well and that all of these predictions were at the very least directionaly correct.

Genuine question, have you never looked at the actual data behind those claims, or have you seen it and still don't find it convincing? My practice has been that whenever I see a sensational headline (or even academic article), I go dig up the underlying data and see if it's convincing. While undoubtedly media reporting is sensationalist (both direction depending on the news), it didn't take long plotting a wide range of different data sets to convince me that things are not looking good.

And that was ~10 years ago. I've personally been shocked how rapidly the climate has measurably and visibly impacted human life since then.

Thanks a lot for the elaborate explanation that went into specific details of why things are like they are.
If they're running a spam filter on their servers, they would need an unencrypted copy to make decisions on that data. Even if a system existed to filter spam based on encrypted contents without decrypting them, that would allow them to determine the contents of the encrypted message. (see also; Oracle database's data redaction feature)

Content-based spam filtering is likely done client-side, and likely less effective than centralized filtration.

Show HN: Langusto – Improve your vocabulary in foreign languages (open-source)
Kotlin scratches that itch well for me. My only complaints are exceptions are still very much a thing to watch, and ADT declarations are quite verbose when compared with more pure FP languages.

Still, the language is great. Plus, it has Java interop, JVM performance, and Jetbrains tooling.
The funny thing is that rust used to have things like garbage collection. For the kind of language Rust wanted to be, removing them was a good change. But there could always be a world where it kept them.

The primary or concluding reason Elon believes it needs to be open sourced is exactly because the "too much danger" is far bigger of a problem if that technology and knowledge-ability is privately available for only for bad actors.

Costs per Click go down the higher the Clickthrough Rate is, which makes sense: Google prefers your ad, since it makes more money off more clicks.

Page Quality also supposedly influences CPCs. That currently depends mostly on the pages loading speed and whether the page actually relates to the keyword you're buying, so basically the same way they rank organic search as well. So yeah this Search Algorithm change might have an impact on ads as well.

Ask HN: Who's self-hosting Supabase and what's your setup?
Asking because I'd like the make the jump myself and thought I'd first solicit ideas re: deployment/management from folks who have completed the journey.

Motivating factors are $, read replicas, and having a log drain to datadog.

My wish list for making the transition myself is:

- Hetzner or similarly cheap

- DB on volume

- Read replicas for batch jobs (don't need load balancing b/w them and master db)

- Backup

- Datadog agent

- Easy upgrade pathway -> some kind of IaC deploy of new Supabase version

Does socket activation also stop the service after a while? In my experience dbus autostart services are always a huge mess, making it unpredictable what will be running after a while of using the computer, and they never stop themselves either.

I generally prefer either stopping/starting a service on demand or just keeping it always on, to ensure predictability and prevent buildup of never-stopped services.
There's been plenty of criticism (and mostly justified as far as I can tell) of AMD's efforts. But on the flip side, I think we should also acknowledge what is communicated by the fact that the CEO[1] of the company is directly addressing issues like this, and making it clear that they plan to fix them. With a lot of companies the size of AMD, you'd never get that kind of communication from the CEO.

It's a small thing, but it is one thing that keeps me optimistic that AMD will eventually develop the great software stack they need.

I remember one time we had to provide some important numbers to auditors. A data analyst on the team wrote some queries to collect this information, but my manager decided to write his own queries independently as a consistency check. The numbers didn’t match at all.

So he asked me to write my own queries as well to see who was right. Lo and behold, my numbers didn’t match either of theirs at all.
Before I noticed your readme reading list I found: https://r-bar.net/xmr-control-chart-tutorial-examples which I think I preferred (having now read both that and [2]) for being a bit quicker to the point since I was already imagining things I might measure so didn't need the motivating examples. (SPC completely new to me - a bit difficult to search for information about since it seems popular with management consulting, six sigma certs, and the like.)

I'd also be interested in applying this to software for better metrics, just thinking about how I might be able to get somewhere quickly in an innovation/hackathon days (aside from your project) came across https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/kensobi-spc-panel/ - looks like it doesn't actually do any calculation, you have to feed it your measurements & sub-group sample size etc. but could be handy in conjunction with yours.
Roku disables TVs and streaming devices until users consent to new terms
There is no way to ask this question here without it devolving deep into politics, but here we go.

Republicans don't have policy to run on. They pander to their base, while also laughing behind their back [1]. Their base votes for them because these representatives appeal to their feelings, even though the people they vote for are actively harming them (red states are finally, begrudgingly, adopting Federal Medcaid expansion funding because they have workforce shortages [2]).

Because of the electoral college, there is no way to fix this for presidential elections [3] and rural America is heavily overrepresented congressionally. States with resources can provide for their own citizens (California is the world's fifth largest economy, for example), rural America will continue to slowly die a slow death as young people leave for opportunity [4], leaving behind those with oversized voting power.

Your options are leave the parts of the country in decline, leave the country, or stay in decline. It's not great [5].

I've read PC reviews that do point out when a touchpad is abysmal or excellent, or list models with good touchpads (https://www.windowscentral.com/best-laptop-touchpad) but near as I can tell most customers aren't willing to spend more money on a model with an excellent touchpad so it's not surprising that most manufacturers don't bother adding them except possibly on their premium lines.

I would also wager that the sort of customers who are willing to spend more for interface refinements like an excellent touchpad already use Apple hardware at a higher rate than the general population, further shrinking customer demand for good PC touchpads.

Rust has a borrow checker. I think it is unique/novel, and I definitely don't think it is simple. In fact, it's precisely because I think it is unique/novel that I very much am not surprised that it doesn't exist in other languages that I use. Why on earth would I be surprised that a feature I think was just invented isn't yet present in other things? That's not how the passage of time works.

On the other hand, Rust also has first-class functions including closures. I do think that closures are a simple programming language feature, and I'm definitely surprised/put off when I write a language that doesn't have them (though these days I'm not sure there are any mainstream ones, now that Java and C++ both have them in the spec). Again it's precisely because I think of closures as the opposite of unique/novel that I am surprised at their absence. Why would I be surprised that a language does not have closures if I thought the Rust team just made them up?

So yes, I have no idea how one would conclude that someone's surprise at a simple feature being unavailable indicates that they think the feature is unique or novel, other than just being a knee-jerk reaction.
For whatever it's worth, I would expect any security vulnerability in an iOS app to be a vulnerability of iOS itself, and not the app.

This strikes me as similar to the Web Colors that used to be important. They had a selection of a couple dozen colors that were safe to use and would display correctly on basically the entire gamut of systems, browsers and color depths of the time in the 90s, and developers were... highly encouraged... to pick from them.
Just disable the apps, then the vulnerabilities don’t matter.

> But people weigh it too heavily. There are plenty of counterexamples of, for instances, fine-grained teams in one company that build a monolith, and the same type of teams in another company building a microservices architecture.

These aren't counterexamples because Conway's law makes no comment on how the teams will choose to deploy what they build. It talks about the overall design of the system, the solution space that was explored. Windows is a monolithic application if the alternative is microservices, but anyone who gives it more than a cursory glance can see the org chart (both past and present!) reflected in the disjointed UX.

> And so new management had to be created, a process we still are working on as well, but many managers these days are way better than managers from 30 years ago.

I'm not sure why this makes Conway's law not applicable anymore—what you're describing is that new management does a better job of creating communication structures that lend themselves well to creating software. That may well be correct, but the resulting improvements validate Conway's law! If we're getting better at software, it may well be because people are talking about and accounting for the impact that communication structures have on the output.
In this case, it's literally Republicans.

Cutting my teeth on Schemes and MLs and now working in Python, I have the complete opposite experience. It's jarring to have to specify return. What else would I want to do at the end of an expression? It seems tautological. The real reason it's there in Python is early return, which is even more dangerous and jarring.

That theory works well in vacum, not when there are languages with similar features and mature ecosystems to chose from.

On the surface, this doesn't seem quite right. Vector graphics were used ubiquitously in legacy applications where storage, memory, or bandwidth were constrained. Most early graphical computer games were only viable due to vector rendering techniques (Sierra's adventures, for example), and lots of early graphical frontends to network resources were entirely vector-based (NAPLPS, RIPScrip, etc.); Flash was primarily vector-based.

It's the widespread use of raster graphics for everything that's relatively more recent, and this has been enabled by the use of complex compression to achieve reasonable file sizes for large images. Those compression algorithms make a similar tradeoff to vector formats in that they save space at the expense of computation time.

I'm not sure if anyone has done any organized experiments, but it would be interesting to see some stats on render time of SVGs in comparison to decompression time for PNGs or JPEGs. My suspicion is that relative performance is highly context-specific, and that there's no general factor that makes either consistently faster than the other.

However, vector graphics do have the advantage of having the ability to be displayed at different resolutions -- the 'S' in 'SVG' stands for 'scalable' -- whereas raster images need actually to be larger to maintain clarity at higher resolutions, increasing transfer and decompression time.

So as display res increases, the render time for PNGs or JPEGs would be expected to increase much more steeply than for SVGs, meaning that many for many practical use cases, SVG is likely the more efficient option.
