I for one was not bothered — the film up to that point had exclusively portrayed Oppenheimer‘s subjective experience in life. To showcase the footage you’re talking about would have meant showing events Oppenheimer did not see, but was certainly able to imagine enough that they affected him deeply — which is what WAS depicted in place of the footage.

While I understand wanting that outside perspective included within Oppenheimer to more fully reflect the actual historic events, I recognize that Oppenheimer was a film telling the story of one man’s internal perspective on events, and so including scenes like you suggest would have diluted and weakened that central premise and through line.

That being said: I am biased in that I do not expect artistic works to reflect a complete reality, but just the reality they choose to explore — I can certainly understand different points of view, especially with regard to such a monumental and tragic real life event.

> I later learned that a term exists for this phenomenon—the March of Dimes syndrome—and that the tendency affects many other movements, too. Why, last year, did the Human Rights Campaign declare a “national state of emergency” for LGBT people? Why was the election of the first black American president followed by the Black Lives Matter movement? Why have reports of “hate groups” risen during the same decades that racial prejudice has been plummeting? Why, during a long and steep decline in the incidence of sexual violence in America, did academics, federal officials, and the #MeToo movement discover a new “epidemic of sexual assault”?

Because the very cultural change that makes things better, makes the remaining bad stuff less socially acceptable.

By the time gay marriage was a hotly debated political topic in the US, things were already better for gay people than they had been a few decades earlier, so why was it a hot topic when things were better, rather than when things were worse? Because when things were much worse, there was a general consensus that being gay was wrong, and so it wasn't a topic worthy of much debate. Once society became relatively more accepting and there were actually two popular sides, then it became a hot button issue.

Sure, things are better in the US for black people than they were several decades ago, but the threshold for what's an acceptable level of discrimination has also changed. Right after the Civil War, just "well they're not slaves anymore" was a huge improvement over the prior status quo, but that hardly meant that things were actually good.

Tip for anyone looking to get an Adobe subscription without any BS: Buy a yearly subscription from Amazon. If you have an Amazon store card, it’s expensive enough that you can actually put it on a 0% APR plan for six months or a year, so you have some flexibility in paying it back.

Plus, Adobe never gets your credit card.

IMO a lot of criticism aimed at frontend development is latent cPTSD from a bygone era but things have really come together over the last half decade. NextJS and friends are bloated, but that's nothing to the shit-show that was Webpack et al. Now that that's mostly over, next-gen tooling like Vite make the development process a lot easier.

CSS especially is a lot better than it was a decade ago.
I can understand the artistic choice to portray everything from Oppenheimer's mind / point of view and to not actually show the devastation, but like you I was bothered by how it was done with the bomb drop and also the complete lack of portraying the Nazi threat. Oppenheimer lived the entire war at home and never actually saw the bomb dropped. But it seemed disingenuous to me to show the power of his imagination when contemplating the universe so powerfully at the beginning of the film, then never portray his comprehension of the Nazi threat or the devastation his weapon would have caused. The closest they got was him imagining it in the room with the crowd, but that hardly did it justice in my opinion. That was critical context in many of the scientists' decisions: 27,000 people were dying PER DAY during World War 2 (on average). How you can portray the story of the atomic bomb without that setting (not to mention emphasizing the fear that the Axis would get the bomb first) is kind of beyond me.

It completely breaks the React paradigm of a single mount point that handles DOM concerns, and introduces god knows what kind of global side effects. The beauty of a React component was that they could be treated as fully self contained little bits of UI. This is basically taking us back to jQuery.

Well HTML/CSS needs to do a better job luring then. The React way makes a lot more intuitive sense.

Pivoting when it comes to profit-seeking is substantially different than pivoting when it comes to solving a grievance.

On the other hand, if I sell something to someone, I might come back and say "Here's a new thing...".

On page 111 the false claim is plainly visible:

“ Prior to joining OpenAI, Mr. Altman served as President of Y Combinator from February 2014 until March 2019. Mr. Altman currently serves as the Chairman of the board of directors of Y Combinator.”

There is also a screenshot in the Business Times story showing the false claim was visible on the AltC website in April. You can go to the AltC site and confirm that Sam is CEO.

The story also includes comment from YC confirming that Sam was never chairman after it was announced he would be.

Dang, what is the basis for your comments on this story? The San Francisco Business Times has been a reliable and fairly pro business local source for years. Hardly tabloid journalism. Can you specify and explain one of the “false claims” you allege?

Funny how he saw organization leaders move to new organizations to apply their existing skills in leadership and made that into a "non profit issue".

It's different from March of Dimes people stuck looking for something new to do when no one has polio anymore.

The complaint that progressives move one to a new issue once they solve (or obsolete) one issue isn't some sort of weird disorder, it's reflecting the reality that one person can't solve every problem at the same time.

I am a chatGPT fan boy and have been quite impressed by 4o but I will really be impressed when it stops inventing aspects of python libraries that don't exists and instead just tells me it doesn't exist.

It literally just did this for me 15 minutes ago. You can't talk about AGI when it is this easy to push it over the edge into something it doesn't know.

Paper references have got better the last 12 months but just this week it made up both a book and paper for me that do not exist. The authors exist and they did not write what it said they did.

It is very interesting if you ask "do you understand your responses?" sometimes it will say yes and sometimes it will so no not like a human understands.

We should forget about AGI until it can at least say it doesn't know something. It is hardly a sign of intelligence in humans to make up answers to questions you don't know.

> I assume there's an element of cost, and once the photons get where they're going they have to be turned back into electrical signals to actually be used until such time as we get around to getting pure light based computers working (someday but not yet...)

You got it. We can't make optical transceivers as good as electrical ones. Not as small or power-efficient.

They require significantly different fabrication processes, and we don't know how to fab them into the same chip as electrical ones. I mean: you can either have photonics, or performant digital (or analog) electronics.

We've gotten really, really good at making small electronics, per the latest tech coming out of Intel & TSMC. We are... not that good at making photonics.
Crisis of trust in Altman reflects back on Y Combinator. They have significant financial motivation to downplay his behavior regardless of any moderators claims.

Many founders are realizing that the last decade’s model for building SaaS and fintech products just doesn’t work anymore. Stagnant or declining growth, high and rising CAC, declining LTV… all are symptoms of this breakdown.

.....

What’s causing this breakdown? There’s too great a supply of undifferentiated software chasing increasingly picky demand that’s also locked behind a small number of monopolistic platforms extracting ever greater margin to access that demand (search, social, app stores, etc).

I'm sorry but that's not what's causing the breakdown. Most fintech products fail because they're solutions looking for a problem. Crypto currency is a perfect example. 'Dark kitchens' work as a business model for the same reason restaurants work as a business model. It solves a problem people are actually having i.e. they're hungry and need something to eat but don't have the time to make it themselves.
"So activists have moved the goalposts once again. It is no longer enough for conservative Christians to tolerate same-sex marriage—now they must be legally required to bake cakes and design web pages for the weddings."

The article lost me here. I mean, I'd love to say I took the above quote out of a surrounding context that explains it more fully and sheds more light but I can't. Instead I find more exasperation that treating some humans like other humans is somehow going beyond the pale.

To address this point in particular, conservative christians are not "legally required" to support same-sex. They are "legally required" to treat some people like all the other people their business supports in public - to do otherwise is the definition of segregation.

The article posits that people and organisations go from one cause to another cause after success. Uh, yeah. That's what people trying to make life better do. Do they always get it right? Hell no. But I'm glad someone is trying.
