Many people left OpenAI after the board problem and Altman’s return. Ilya Sutskever, Jan Leike, Leopold Aschenbrenner, Pavel Izmailov, William Saunders, Daniel Kokotajlo, and Cullen O’Keefe left because of safety worries. Chris Clark, the planning director, and Sherry Lachman, the social impact director, also left recently.

Today’s result shows that Ilya Sutskever and Sam Altman’s group have big differences they cannot fix.

Additionally, recent departures include Chris Clark, the non-profit organization and strategic planning director, and Sherry Lachman, the social impact director.
Given where we are now—reproducible demonstrations of net gain, using AI to control confinement—it’s reasonable to think we will see some full-scale implementation in our lifetime. Its a virtual certainty humanity will achieve practical fusion before the year 3000, unless of course we use fusion bombs to destroy ourselves.
Very soon someone will use it (or make a similar one) that routinely analyzes trends on news and social media, creates relevant new domain names then registers them and puts them on sale.

> a "corporation" is itself a government creation

Not necessarily. Today corporations are required to be created and maintained according to government procedures, but that wasn't always the case.

To a small-l libertarian, a "corporation" is simply an obvious way for a group of people with a common goal to simplify the process of working towards that goal while interacting with the rest of the world, by creating a single virtual entity that can do things like be a party to contracts, participate in trades, etc., rather than requiring every single person working towards the goal to individually be a party to each such interaction.

Of course, to a small-l libertarian, such corporations are not empowered to do anything their individual members could not do, and they don't change the limitations of the non-aggression principle. Which already leaves out much that actual corporations do in today's world.
I understood that you weren’t advocating for this.

> The TS-7250-V3 is an industrial grade SBC based on the NXP i.MX 6UL with a 696MHz Arm® Cortex®-A7 core and 512 MB or 1 GB DDR3 RAM

This is their latest "High performance industrial grade embedded computer" that I can see on their website

Of course you'll have good upstream support for something as old as the i.MX6UL, it's been out for 8 years (7 years at the time they released the TS-7250-V3).

No wonder Raspberry Pi has upended the market, when a single core Cortex-A7 is the competition.

Even an Allwinner chip that has a terrible BSP at release has good upstream support 7 years later.
That entirely depends on if they go back to their old eating habits. According to studies most do.
> rolling blackouts each summer

We haven't had a rolling blackout since the early 2000 and Enron.

What we do have is decades of PGE not doing any work to maintain or upgrade their grid. Our power company is so incompetent it has a death toll.

Texas gets something like 24 percent of its power from wind. IT has now updated its rules to force all renewables to be ride through sources (this will add cost but it isnt going to slow things down).

there's not much to it really. you just build a bare-minimum PC and then put some decent hard drives in it. the drives are going to dominate the total cost of any reasonable NAS build. if you want something like 24GB plus an extra for parity, that's ~$600 in storage right there. you might be able to get it down to $800 if you really cheap out on the other components, but $1000 would get you something that could double as a decent home server (current gen desktop cpu, 32GB ram, etc).

I wouldn't recommend putting used hard drives in a NAS. the main point of a NAS is to be resilient storage. buying drives of uncertain provenance is just setting yourself up for pain.
How Are Microchips Made? – Branch Education [video]
Austin has had issues, long before the pandemic.

In one example (in the 10's), the owner of the building that Unisys used to lease wanted to disproportionately increase the cost of the lease; it was so much so, that it was cheaper for Unisys to close the site and offer relocation to the workers (notably, New York being a favoured relocation site).[1]

This shows why I wouldn't use Rust for anything. Seems like a lot of verbosity for gains that don't really apply whatsoever for the kind of work I do (web apps and APIs). You have to remember let/mut fine, but then ownership/borrowing, and finally this `into()` thing - yuck! Like washing your face with sandpaper.
Earth launch is the most difficult part of solar system travel due to higher gravity than most landing/launching targets, and Earth’s atmospheric maxQ force on launch, etc.

Given we had already achieved that, adding orbital refueling and landing/reuse are both more control issues than materials issues. We had the science to go anywhere.

We just needed to stay focused on the engineering and iterate, instead of going sideways burning money to maintain a completely unmaintainable unreliable faux-reusable less capable design.

A situation so politically intolerable that management ”coped” by operating in denial, and so objectively broken that small issues in a sea of complexity produced deadly disasters.

Normal iterative improvements were sacrificed for decades, to prop up a bad design.

One comment about the analysis of ping times in the section "Low Earth Orbit Systems". Specifically, the analysis of ping times "within each 15s satellite tracking interval".

Most routers do not put ping-processing in the "fast path". That is, instead of having the ping be processed by an ASIC, the ping gets processed by the router's CPU. And ping-processing is typically a lower-priority task. Because of that, you can't assume that the high variation in latency is because of Starlink.
FWIW in Vivaldi you can completely disable search from address field in settings and then remove the search field from the toolbar.
I think due to the exorbitant cost of upgrading internal laptop storage, 2.5" external hard drives still have a place at least for a little while longer. For use cases that require portability, a lot of storage, and aren't performance sensitive, such as backups on the go or bringing a large media library with you, there aren't really many better options at reasonable prices currently.
> You should be using a database to keep track of experiment results, model lineage etc. even if it's just a sqlite file.

You should be keeping track of those things, but I see little benefit and lots of downsides in using an SQL database to do so.
Just randomly ran across this which says he didn't sign the letter, even though Ilya Sutskever is on there, and remembered this thread:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VihA_-8kBNg&t=17m35s

So I went and checked the letter. Here is the letter with signatories, I don't see his name in the 'J' section (alphabetized by first name):

https://archive.ph/8sLAK

I don't see a longer name for him that doesn't start with Jan anywhere else I could find. I think that tweet was the same day as the letter though, so maybe he's on there and I just didn't see it, he meant something more complicated and didnt agree with all of the letter, or he missed the deadline for signing the letter.
>if a business could be reduced to a set of quantifiable KPI's, the entire management chain could be replaced with a spreadsheet.

we may start seeing that next decade with all the hype tech is trying to inject into AI. It'd be some nice schadenfreude to have the people replacing workers with these machines have themselves replaced by fancy programs that can generate metric reports faster and with less (but far from zero) bias.
The employee #8 badge, which we know is real, is typed in a completely different font from the #10 badge, has different dimensions, different photo dimensions, and the photos were clearly taken with dramatically different cameras and lighting. None of these differences makes any sense if the #10 badge (supposedly made within a week of the #8 badge) is real.
My characterization is primarily referring to the liability shield aspect, which is a creation of government policy. If the owners of a corporation were jointly and severely liable for the actions and debts of the corporation, I'd accept the explanation that it's just a way for people to come together to achieve a common goal. But that liability shield allows for a level of scaled-up investor non-involvement that creates significant qualitative differences in the resulting behavior.
Nobody said we should stop using a single form except the person I was replying to, who suggested that single-stair egress should never be used:

Keep thinking like that and you'll be a ratings agency for Mortgage-Backed Securities.
More interesting question:

Do you tell them that it's fake? Or let them live happily in their joy-filled bubble?
For years I would eat either a half or whole avocado a day. Why would you need to be a vegan/vegetarian to do that?

They are fiber and potassium rich with a lot of unsaturated fat, which adds to making them a great “dessert” if you eat them with a bit of olive oil, salt, and lemon.

I think there are multiple levels here. I agree the law side is a challenge, right now, but as we see new harm arise from new technologies we need to start figuring out those lines and figuring out how as a society we discourage this behavior. Basically, I think this is an example of technology moving faster than society's ability to assimilate it and we need to think of smart ways to catch up. That isn't a call to stop technology, but I do think we need to start growing social antibodies to this type of thing. Consider a comparison to kids vandalizing things. As a society we frown on vandalism even without laws in place forbidding it. At many turns in society kids are discouraged from doing it and most, but not all, grow up knowing they shouldn't do it. Social pressure is there to help keep it in check and that also leads to a better understanding of 'the line' which helps inform more formal things like laws and punishments. Laws, and law enforcement, should come after society has taken notice and started acting so how do we get society noticing and acting? What should society do? I think it is, possibly, partly things like emphasizing the idea that it isn't 'cool' to hack things, which every movie in existence does. I admit that isn't a strong start to the idea thread, but there may be things along those lines that could help.
They don't have sync for most things.

Firefox is nice in that not only it has sync of basically everything, but you can run your own server for it.
This particular part to me is core:

> In the town near our house there's a shop with a sign warning that the door is hard to close. The sign has been there for several years. To the people in the shop it must seem like this mysterious natural phenomenon that the door sticks, and all they can do is put up a sign warning customers about it. But any carpenter looking at this situation would think "why don't you just plane off the part that sticks?"

I usually refer to it as a "problem-solving mindset" – a way of thinking where you approach a situation as something that could have a universe of solutions, but then learn to break down what exactly you want to solve, whittle down solutions to try, or whether you even need to reframe the problem, etc.

Another related thought (sorry but I don't remember where I saw it) is the idea of solving a problem vs making a problem go away, which are slightly different things. Solving a problem is like removing toxins from a car's emissions. Making the problem go away is to stop the car from having any emissions in the first place.

But the carpenter analogy is apt also because software people tend to think that the solution for many things is software (since that's what we're skilled in), whereas in some cases it's a human collaboration solution or something else.

Where can you get a 4k 100 Hz monitor for $250?
I recommend a NAS; you'll be in much better shape if you have a single drive fail. It's much easier to organize than some random external drives.

Am I parsing it right, that you want 24TB of storage? You could do 3x12TB or 4x8TB. Aim for CMR drives, not SMR; SMR is great at intermittent usage, but not certain parts of NAS, like filling a new drive. Try to get different brands, models, or at least batches; there have been firmware bugs hitting at a certain uptime.

You can get used drives; test them and verify their capacity. I used https://serverpartdeals.com , and they replaced one that didn't work well; they have 12TB drives for $97 right now. I didn't verify they're CMR but I'd be surprised.

Amazon and Newegg have a Synology 4-bay NAS for $400 or less. Mine has been easy to administrate locally. You might work from Synology's hard drive compatibility lists.

A rough total for those is about $700.

You tell them so that they can get a refund from ebay, if you catch them in time, also so they don't end up accused of fraud when they try to resell it.
This is something I don't understand about the author's stance. Why are they seemingly insulted by the prompt? The insult doesn't come from the asker's lack of helpfulness or unwillingness to fork or merge request, that's all irrelevant in their eyes. Just from the questions in of themselves, be them loaded or not.

But there IS an implicit contract at the moment of creation of a repository which states "you may contact me here" and... that's what those people did? The only way to address a maintainer with the question beyond email, which isn't generally available anymore in the current environment, is the repo issues. Issues and merge requests are opt-out features, not opt-in, so, unmaintained repositories will in fact appear completely indistinguishable from maintained one. But repo creation is opt-in. Repo public status is opt-in. You can retract both of those contracts.

If the question annoys someone so deeply - you can stop reading other repo's public issues, and you got a toggle to mute your own. I also am annoyed with people and things. I wish mosquitos disappeared, but I'm not going to make a ideological statement on it with so many more actionable approaches avaiable. Heck, even if the whole purpose of the article is to vent, you still got a way to direct that emotion "productively" - just give a cute little angry emoji to the issue's author.

It's everywhere. Google image results are already becoming heavily polluted with AI art (try searching something like "unicorn" for example). Someone posted a cool site here the other day that was a sort of automatically-generated encyclopedia, except that since it was automatically grabbing images, most of the examples of historical art styles had ended up being modern AI art instead. That wouldn't have been the case at all even two years ago, it's a bit scary.

I was struggling to write prompts that had consistent results for a few tasks I have been doing at work, so I decided to build an app to QA my prompts and make my life easier. I've decided to open it up to get some feedback to see if it's of any use to anyone else who is struggling to write reliable GPT prompts and QA them.

You can get started for free at https://www.iterates.ai/ and let me know your thoughts/feedback as it's greatly appreciated!

Please note that I built the app for myself originally so I'm sure there's heaps of bugs/issues so please let me know.
