I feel bad for dang in all this

Is like the worst situation for him where despite there really being no causal connection between hacker news and Sam Altman in any kind of functional way, the reality of the connections and the Zeitgeist of the this moment, makes this topic continue to rise to the top and has dominated over the last, let’s say a couple weeks

In an odd way because of how close this community is to all this stuff, it’s almost exacerbated by it

So while dang is trying to keep the community moving, there’s a risk of looking opinionated in favor for the associated parties.

So he’s really stuck here honestly, it’s a really interesting set of circumstances happening right now on this forum given all of this

That’s not to say it’s not a topic that we should stop highlighting or discussing - i’ve been very excited to see the shift in sentiment, just over the last couple months towards way more pro social ideas. And holding bad accountable and making argumentation for it is a good thing imo
It’s not a controversial take. They are awful, and thus haven't been used for new development for at least a decade, going on two.
Not at all.

Russia is not interested in that--they'd be one of the worst losers in that scenario. Russia is interested in leveraging the fear of escalation to take every penny and inch of land it can get, though.

Letting Russia get away with bullying now is *more* likely to lead to escalation as it muddies the waters on how much they can get away with and when and if there would be a response.

Not to be pedantic, but you’re off by a factor of 100 :)
To be honest, my bias is against boards, especially non-profit boards who have no skin in the game and often an idealistic view that clashes with operational realities.

The case of Altman seems to be a “where there’s smoke” thing to an extent, but I also am not inclined to trust the board over the employees who do seem to like him.

Insofar as he steered OAI to be a consumer product company rather than a research institution, that’s an acceptable outcome to me. The board had a problem with that, fought him, and lost.

> who know the place very well and are trained to deal with such a situation

This comment surprises me and I suggests to me that you were not in Boy Scouts (I even worked at a camp for several summers when I was 18/19). Tbh, most of the people in charge of groups are just figuring it out themselves (camps/OOTA/Varsity tend to be a bit better, but I mean camps are run by teenagers and people in their early 20's). The danger isn't actually that high, though it may appear that way to those with no experience.

IME I had more issues with adults than the scouts. As an example, I had several adults point an (unloaded![0]) shotgun in the direction of people, but never had a scout do this. Often because they wanted pictures...

Of course, if someone gets seriously lost, there are means to get help. But that's most likely the forestry service.

[0] We only load a single round and only when the person is ready to fire. So there is only one weapon loaded at any given time but weapons are __strictly__ treated as if loaded at all times. Weapons must also strictly be pointed down range (and not at the ground and not at the sky). Breaking these rules results in an immediate ejection from the range, and unfortunately has lead to troops being ejected because their leaders were (age requirements).

> Can't be toxic culture if everyone wants to work there

Some counterarguments:

1) this only works if information flows out of the organization, but OpenAI has used NDAs to suppress criticism

2) OpenAI seems to me to polarize the people with the technical skills to work there, I think I'd bet that more of them are creeped out than eager

3) people, especially young people, are very capable of believing that being a jerk is the same as being hardcore is the same as being valuable

Not at all. I use Brave and "shield down" websites that I like and generally keep their ad situation under control (incl. 3rd party). But your point of hosting vs 3rd party is a good one and especially because often one 3rd party connects to another.

Likewise, I "block" annoying parts of websites like Yahoo Fantasy Football's enormous top nav that's not even an ad.

Also, it depends on kids age. I want kids to be safe in elementary, make mistakes and learn in middle/high school.
Basically every person i know in their mid-20s has a small group of people they have always on location sharing with. Usually a partner, a couple of close friends, and a parent or two. They don’t see it as any sort of problem to share this information.

I get the tech focused millennial paranoia about this but when it gets down to it you have nothing to fear if the people you share that with actually respect you and your privacy.
I wonder if they tried other neurons - do human neurons individually or even as an organoid perform better than say a rat neuron based organoid? I might even believe other animal neurons are otherwise faster, etc, in some way even if they never organize into a more complex brain in the animal.

You mean pass something like that around? No.

I’d seriously consider quitting on the spot if my boss at any place I’ve worked in the past asked me to sign something like that. Not signing isn’t quite the same thing as quitting, but there’s a clear implication not doing so would seriously damage any long term prospects at the company.

It’s not obvious to me that 25 feet distance from an officer conducting an arrest isn’t reasonable assuming the wording of the law and its interpretation are not putting innocent bystanders who blunder into a situation at additional risk. The article indicates there are ostensibly protections for this but I would not want to be the person testing that in practice and there may be any number of edge cases that could make the law unreasonable like when an arrest occurs on private property etc.

You can still film an officer from 25 feet away.
The answer is simple: the single most valuable asset at OpenAI appears to be Altman bullshitting about science fiction AI, and nothing else. When he disappear, value plumetted, partners evaporated, clients stopped paying, competitors rushed to hire him, etc.

It's like Elon 'Electric Jesus' Musk, without him, they're just selling shitty cars nobody quite like. So he can get paid more than all profit Tesla ever made, because without him, there would be 0 profit anyway.

Talk to Tesla owners: they are surprised by how shit the car is, but they feel like mini Elons. That's probably similar at OpenAI ?
The downvotes are for the attitude. If you expected all alternative software options to be strictly better than their replacements we would never get anywhere in terms of DX. Someone has to be brave and be an early adopted and put in the sweat to get shit to work and this guy is just taking potshots instead of making pull requests.

> This would be totally irrelevant if it weren't for social media status seeking.

isn't being unnecessarily negative to you? It's a cute little story about dining hall forks, not a hot girl who just happens to be in a bikini shilling a business course or some crap on instagram for followers. It's on their personal blog, that I (unfortunately) will likely never read again, so the amount of "clout" they're receiving from it isn't that big a deal.

Your comments starts off accusing them of faking the cute little story. That's not unnecessarily negative to you? I have no idea if the story is true or not, I'm not at Tufts, but this very cute little story reads as genuine to me. It could be that I'm gullible and being taken in by a future Jordan Belfort, but it's just so cute and earnest that I didn't even think about that, and have a hard time believing that. It's 100% totally fine that the random thought that it could be fake popped into your head, we don't really control what we think, but then after that, the problem is you went to the length of publishing a comment accusing them of that, which is to say your cynicism filter could use some fine tuning.

The fact that your comment's been downvoted says I'm not the only one that thinks that. The fact that you then also felt the need to turn around and attack my comment as being unnecessarily negative speaks volumes.

> Mars Colony leaders were SDI people. Take a look at the latest stuff written by Zubrin

Who is related to Starlink in what respect?

The link between Starlink and SDI is about as close as it is to anything space related the U.S. government has done. It’s equally correct to say Starlink has its roots in space planes. Like, sure, I can draw tenuous links between the two. But that’s like saying Juicero was a military project because Silicon Valley was seeded by the DoD.
Some sources (https://lweb.cfa.harvard.edu/webscope/activities/pdfs/eyeTel..., page 7) say the human eye's "exposure time" is around 1/15th of a second. So a 1 second exposure is 15 times longer and won't see star trails, at least not at normal zoom levels.
From what I’ve seen quoted, Toner says a lot of things that are non-specific and therefore difficult to weigh, assess, verify, or challenge.

What about the part where it’s explained that the employees coming forward gave the board the ammunition needed to act?
While I am somewhat sympathetic to the board based on what I have read about Altman's behavior pattern (he was allegedly fired from YC for similar reasons of not disclosing conflicts of interest), it is strange to me how thin the board members' resumes are. What notable achievements does Toner have? She's 32 and hasn't really built or run a company.

Another board member is the wife of actor Joseph Gordon Levitt. Same story -- no notable achievements or experience running a business.

A more competent board would have handled things better and may have prevailed in their ouster of the CEO. Here they just got outmaneuvered even though they may have been right in their call.
Seems on brand for scene 1 of any horrific science fiction film.

I'm a bit surprised about the flak that stored procs have. Treat them just like any other, hopefully well documented, API, and they work perfectly fine. There are pros and cons, just like whether you decide to use react or htmx, python or golang, erlang or lisp, row based database vs column based vs kv, etc.

On the other hand, yes, going back to the days of poorly written and documented oracle pl/sql stored procs, yes, I shudder too, but then again, that can also be said of a number of public APIs that have been hacked/had side effects exposed.
What do you mean by "old style project"?

> I object to the idea that putting a smartwatch on your child is helicopter parenting

> allows kids to roam farther unsupervised, then it fosters independence.

I think you understand then. It depends how the devices are used, obviously. I think no one is really objecting to the utility of being able to use such a device when there is a serious situation, but rather that the reality is that a very large number of parents use these types of devices to constantly surveil their children. There's a difference.

> I have never been accused of overparenting

I'm not accusing you of being one. In context this would depend on your actions and no one can realistically judge that without actually knowing you. But there is a clear general trend. No one knows if you're part of that, so don't be quick to assume you're being singled out.

And of course, I wouldn't use the "no one has accused me of" as a meaningful metric. People might not tell you (I mean every parent knows how common other parents gossip, right?), you might not hear, or it is quite common for these types of things to foster echo chambers as similar parenting styles naturally gravitate towards one another. But of course, no one is accusing you of anything, because this __cannot__ be known without significantly more information. This paragraph was only mentioned because it appears you feel like people are calling you out, so it notes a possibility of how the observations can be in perfect harmony.
What about it? Show us the specifics, the receipts, and then maybe we can have a better idea.
From this: "I have not been able to walk for enjoyment or pleasure or exercise in 41 years" - I'd guess the usual way basketball ruins bodies - it's probably fucked up his hips and knees.

Every bone in both feet; both legs. I have broken my back. I’ve had countless facial and cranial fractures. I spent my life falling down, getting hacked and fouled and getting in fights.”

What word seems more appropriate to you? "Entitled" is an unfortunately loaded word, but it seems to be the verb most appropriate to me.
It's not a "stupid reason". Indexes are not free, you either pay to maintain indexes or you pay for a full table scan at query time. I for one want that control. First of all, tables < millions of rows can fit comfortably into memory and a full table scan can be perfectly fine. The "Index every possible thing" strategy can backfire horribly and cause massive inefficiencies - only to discover half the indexes aren't even getting used. Benchmark first.
I hate how "fake-seeking" is the new form of doing something for attention, like publicizing someone's supposed fabrications in the comments with 0 evidence that anything was manufactured in the first place just so you could feel the reward of delivering truth or something

How to focus on one things? I am so distracted, any tips would help
I've been encountering a frustrating pattern whenever I attempt to engage in a focused activity, like reading a book. It seems that within just a few lines of reading, my mind starts buzzing with reminders of other tasks clamoring for attention – emails to send, ideas to jot down, and various errands to tackle. It's like a constant stream of distractions vying for my attention. In fact, even as I'm writing this message to you, I found myself pulled away mid-thought to have a conversation with my wife about something entirely unrelated. It's becoming increasingly perplexing because I can't pinpoint exactly why I'm feeling so easily distracted

Even with ToDo list or app, I have to remember to put into the list, I forget.
I feel the same.I am more of a casual rider, but when I ride my bike in me feel so good. It is a source of health and happiness. I hope to be able to do it for many years. I wish cities in this side of the Atlantic had more biking infrastructure.
It's a problem because it makes one doubt whether they are in right place.

What's more, it's a step back from how well Microsoft did it in the past.

It's essentially like stepping into half-done move between two different places, and never being able to tell where did you put what.

They can, and in the past did, do better.
Don't worry, these are the kinds of people who also claim phrases like 'basket of deplorables' and 'people who cling to guns and religion' as well as “they’re worried that they’ll be vaccinated and deported.” or "That’s like saying you... before you got in this program, you’re take a test whether you’re taking cocaine or not... What do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?” are racist --obviously.
Disagree. I still put a few percentage points of probability on it happening much faster, maybe by 2030 or 2035. The whole internet and a good chunk of the global economy is predicated on secure encryption. A small chance of that being disrupted is worth substantial investment. Deploying PQC protocols for testing is cheap.

Not to mention the fact that we still don’t know if the current candidate PQC protocols are actually secure. Security is mostly a game of back-and-forth over years, so it could take a while.
Maybe because claiming they are bad with out explaining why, giving explicit examples, or really digging into the nuance of the more than one feature mentioned makes the claim feel unsubstantiated.

He was prone to broken bones starting in high school, but kept playing basketball because he was quite good at it despite all the recovery downtime. ESPN did a writeup: https://web.archive.org/web/20240528203417/https://www.espn....

Chuck gave up doing Forth in assembly for modern processors a number of years ago, but developed the GreenArrays chips that are apparently like 144 computers on a chip. He programs that in some version of ColorForth and has done several talks on it. I have no clue if there is any value because I can't understand it's use case. It is really cool though that when he builds an application, he typically understands everything from the machine level all the way through the software and he designs them both to some kind of optimal overall system. He's got to be one of the only people alive who can still claim that I'd guess.
There is a rather strong correlation between the type of kid who would most benefit from this device, and the type of kid who is most likely to irresponsibly lose a phone. I'm imagining a child with ADHD who compulsively elopes.
Yes, I think these are valid reasons.

If you are still concerned, you can make API keys that have been registered by TLS to require TLS, while those that haven't, do not require TLS.

(However, the note about private networks only applies if you run the service yourself. Sometimes this will be the case, though. Even then, the administrators can configure it to use TLS if this is desired.)

This is actually why we (Stytch) haven't rolled out any of these "chatbots for code".

We have a big list of example questions we get from devs trying us out and we've tested several home grown and third party providers and thus far haven't seen anything good enough that we'd put into production.

Thanks for testing this out for us! I'll cross it off our list :)
1. Spending more time with my family. My mom, dad, grandpa, and grandma live in another city. I seldom have the chance to visit them — typically only five or six times a year.
2. Travel more. There are so many places I want to visit—the sea, snow mountains, etc. Maybe it is because I stay at home too long.
3. Create software for fun, not for pay. Programming is my first love.
4. learn some new skills - painting, calligraphy, Spanish, etc. Mastering skills I didn't have before excites me.

I am rather inward and only care about myself and my family.
What will you cut from government spending to get the lower tax rate that won't affect anyone negatively?

For everyone who’s curious about the screen tech like me, you’re getting tripped up on the marketing term “epaper”. From Daylight’s own comments here, it appears to be an LCD display. Hence good refresh rate (where the limitation may be in what the silicon can drive), no display when off, and mere “days” of battery life. The work is in giving it eInk-like readability.
