Key takeway from the article: OpenAI's ChatGPT APIs might actually be, surprise surprise, profitable.

"As of June 2024, OpenAI's API was very likely profitable, with surprisingly high margins. Our median estimate for gross margin (not including model training costs or employee salaries) was 75%." "Once all traffic switches over to the new August GPT-4o model and pricing, OpenAI plausibly still will have a healthy profit margin. Our median estimate for the profit margin is 55%."

Bad or good decisions are always subjective to the goals and context, so of course I'm projecting my opinion when commenting on a comment section with my opinion. I do think less of someone with tattoos than someone without, and I've tried often not to, and have many friends with tattoos and would never ever say anything to anyone to make them feel bad about it. But my brain judges.

I assume you are related to, an investor in or some kind of shill for this organization, because many of your submissions are related to the organization you are speaking about. This could be untrue, but I would not trust any "theory" that you posit at ground value without peer review and all of this is never going to make it into the scientific mainstream.

If your theory depends upon denial of quantum physics and things which have experimental proof, it has no rigor. Especially if the organization in question feels the need to take wikipedia editors to court in order to silence them. Shame on this organization.
It depends on what one is referring to by "racial violence". The US has a long history of race riots, which have led to numerous deaths. While race riots have also happened in Canadian history, they have been far less frequent, and resulted in significantly less deaths. And the disparity remains even if you take into account the difference in size of the population.

In computer science, parsing is distinguished from scanning via nesting. Or you can think of it as languages that you can recognize with FSMs (scanning) like regular expressions, and languages you can recognize with PDAs (parsing) like CFGs.

This would never come up in a Google interview and really only comes up in CS 101 (or whatever your program's first CS theory course is) when you study computational models , languages and automata for the first time. Anyone who doesn't go on to do compilers really doesn't care much about the distinction.

Fossil (https://fossil-scm.org) is actually a proper grow-only set from what I can tell: merge conflicts upon synchronization are encoded in the DAG as forks of the history at the conflicting points in time. If no action is taken after a fork, all clones will eventually see the exact same view of the history.

The tooling will normally bail with a "would fork" message if a `fossil update` (and, hence, local resolution of those conflicts) wasn't undertaken before pushing, but this is not at all necessary to preserve useful operation.
Assuming there's a real cultural issue, I doubt that the C-suite is the entire problem. Just bringing in some new senior management is probably not the answer. You probably need to cull down to at least some level of mid-level people. At least that's what I would do.

"Employee surveillance" sounds a lot more nefarious than the reality of these systems for most organizations.

Your network admin has had access to the proxy, and by extension, all your browsing history since forever. Now, your UEBA does that, but mainly just sits there and flags things like a user normally hitting a single host to suddenly hitting 300 hosts on the network, or a user having an average data upload of 500MB/week to 200GB in a single session.

Very few people care if you're using the corporate network to listen to YouTube Music (or even looking for other jobs), most just want to be notified of data exfiltration, compromised accounts, or malicious network activity.

> The CIL is good enough.

Comparison against Oberon+ string primitives allocates a new char array every time. Other operations allocated it to just null-terminate it (string constants are null-terminated already for example, or can be done so explicitly by compiler instead, in any case this is an incorrect design). Somehow, it failed the basic task of modeling C behaviors on the one and only high-level bytecode target that comes to modeling C the closest. This was the very first thing I saw when I opened the compilation artifacts with ILSpy.

In any case, my goal was to post a disclaimer and it is fulfilled.

We "couldn't progress before science" but developed metallurgy, mining, sailing, astronomy, democracy, ... well before the enlightenment and the development of the scientific method? Heck, we domesticated plants and animals before recorded history.

Perhaps you're talking about empiricism rather than science? Empiricism is old as the hills, presumably these discoveries were made from observation and experimentation. The scientific method builds on empiricism, but incorporates mechanisms to make it more difficult to fool ourselves (such as reproducibility and peer review), and so is distinct.

As for "seeing beauty where there is none," that's nonsense. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you see it, it's real. You can critique someone else's ideas of beauty, you can disagree with them, but to say that they are somehow objectively wrong is just chauvinism.

You may as well tell someone that when they're thinking, it's just the illusion of thinking. Or when they're enjoying a meal you dislike, they're only imagining that they're enjoying it. What would that even mean?

Richard Feynman asked a similar question, IIRC about knowing how the color and smell of flowers is conveyed to your senses and processed by your brain. He said he had a friend who claimed that knowing the science behind such things diminished them, and Feynman said "I think he's kind of nutty."
I'd say you two are pretty much like most Americans. ie - You readily identify the problems endemic to all the other Americans.

I do it too. It's the way we're socialized here in the US via everything from the media and music to political speeches.

What would be really interesting to know is if either of you are non-American? I have a sense that this proclivity might not be simply an American thing. I've wondered more and more if it's just human?
Yes. Anything that's useful as a weapon, or as an adjunct to a weapon, can be targeted.

That's why radar stations, or AWACS, can be targeted too. They are not offensive weapons in themselves, but they work as adjuncts to bombs, missiles, or guns.

I think you might have intended: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baylisascaris_procyonis

Note the "procyonis", ie raccoon roundworm. The procyonis version is indeed terrible, easily among the worst parasites a human could encounter.

Whether, as one comment suggested, every raccoon is positive, is debatable. I sure hope not, and would definitely expect cohabitating or proximal wildlife to exhibit symptoms, which has been observed, notably in squirrels, but not as frequently as one would expect if it were half as pervasive as most or 'every'.

But the risk is severe where present, necessitating the destruction of tools that make contact with feces. This worm is quite comfortable in both formaldehyde and subzero temperatures for months or years, remaining infectious. Extremely adhesive and generally not to be fucked with.

Edit: expect racoons to start harboring angiostrongyloids now, especially in Florida. Cuban tree frogs and snails certainly being on their menu, as well as being primary vectors. This worm has similar appetite for flesh, favoring the brain too, but is much smaller and less dramatic than baylis. Regardless, expect parasites to be an increasing problem.
as a civilian, if cloud compute server conditions internally result in exposing some mid-transaction packet insertion problem as a real thing, AND that in turn justifies some massive re-deployment of new network drivers stacks to the detriment of just about everybody's gray hairs and finite hours in the day, then actually screw that, with emphasis.

Ironically, we use tattoos for opposite reasons.

If you're quick to judge someone's character based on their tattoos, it suggests a tendency toward superficial assessments. I find it difficult to trust critical decisions made by someone who relies on such surface-level judgments. In my experience, those with narrow, dogmatic worldviews are often less interested in finding real solutions and more preoccupied with adhering to authority and bureaucratic norms.

So what? What do you think do the dotnet string or marshalling classes internally? And how should that affect the performance comparison if we feed the same CIL to both - Mono and CoreCLR?

Authorize contractually. It is not an implementation detail, right? It’s specified that it will authorize by internet connection, or otherwise by manual key entry on every subsequent launch.

> The company must therefore provide the means for them to authorize.

That’s a logical assumption, if the company wants to do business, but isn’t stated in the EULA or the law. Pay special attention to Finale EULA sections 5, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15.

All this gets extra problematic when a product or a company dies or is transferred. There are very few laws that try to force a product to continue existing once its creator decides to shelve it for any reason, even if it would be trivial for the creator to do so.

Personally, I agree with the guiding principles of the First Sale Doctrine. What we’re concluding here is that your beef is with the idea of software authorization for purchase-once (non-subscription) software that is locally installed and doesn’t depend on cloud services. As a principle, that’s fine, I don’t disagree with it. Given the specifics in this case, it’s not known yet how many people the auth server shutdown will affect next year, but it is possible (I speculate!) that the discounted upgrade path to Dorico might not exist in it’s current form if Finale left the auth server on.

I use the BOOX NoteAir, just to keep from having a dozen scattered notebooks and having to replenish the paper/ink supply. I use it just like paper. I don't do any handwriting recognition or anything, and at most will split ideas off into their own notebooks. Personally, I've found that it is the act of writing things down, more so than the act of looking through notebook archives, that helps me with retention and creativity. The VERY IMPORTANT THINGS are kept on a whiteboard I look at multiple times a day, because I WILL FORGET dates and appointments (and I'll forget to put them into an alarm on my phone, and I'll dismiss those alarms multiple times and re-forget) no matter how critically important it may be. So the whiteboard keeps those items literally in my face.

That's something that's different between X11 and Wayland - in Wayland, windows are responsible for their own decoration (I presume Xwayland handles decoration for X11 windows running through Wayland). This makes it quite a bit harder to hide all decorations on Wayland - various UI toolkits have ways that the end-user can tell them to hide bits, but they all operate differently and don't cover everything.
Just for transparency, do you have visible tattoos?
Some games this is still applicable. But as of a few years ago, there's been a LOT of multiplayer shooters coming out with a battle royale style of genre, where you load into a 30-40 minute match with a single life and are booted when you die. You don't have access to a list of players at any point or votekick/voteban mechanics, at best there'll be a report button on the death screen if you thought something was fishy. So you really have no way of knowing in these games at what point the match will be ruined, someone can toggle cheats on 20-30 minutes in and you won't know until you die to them nor have any way to communicate that to the other players still ingame.

I’ve been struggling with how best to express it, but I think it comes down to the recapitulation, in the musical sense, i.e., how a composer will revisit a theme and take it in a new or at least different direction; to the möbius strip/meta quality; and to the banality of the evil of the antagonist: why, yes, that’s exactly how I would expect a deranged and resentful program to punish its (perceived) enemy.

The continuing question of perception, both of reality and of values, is a key element of all of that.

In a way, LLMs tend to follow a very reasonable practice of coding to the API you'd like to have, and only later reconcile it with the API you actually have. Reconciling may be as simple as fixing a function name, or as complex as implementing the "fake"/"hallucinated" functions, which work as glue code.
I have a Wealthfront account with quite a bit of money in it, and I deposit over 50% of my paycheck every week.

I sometimes look at how they’re investing the money on deposit. They often buy the same ticker at (radically) different prices.

The honest excuse is they spread the purchase throughout the day or at different times in the day.

But I’ve always had this suspicion that they might be doing something to boost their profits. I have zero proof or otherwise and don’t intend to defame them in any way.

But the reason I’m writing this is simply to share that there are a lot of businesses where the client really puts a ton of trust in the vendor. An insane amount of trust (literally your life savings) with very little assurances in return.

That said, I've recently become very fascinated with slime molds, particularly Physarum polycephalum. I bought a kit to grow one on agar plates, and it's fascinating to witness its behavior in contrast to growing a fungus or a plant. It's surprising the kind of decisions it makes. Sometimes it focuses entirely on one piece of food, then gets "bored" and starts exploring its surroundings. It forms networks between pieces of food, but not to the extent that I was expecting. It's rather single-minded at times. Perhaps that will change the older and bigger it gets. Nevertheless, I can see why creating a simulation of one would be an engaging project.
This is the first time ever that we've had competition in the form of multiple companies that can deliver astronauts to orbit.

As for NASA "in-housing" everything, that's always been a continuum. Mercury is probably the last spacecraft that you could really say NASA designed internally that flew. Even operationally, for the last part of the Shuttle program, most all of the operations were done by the United Space Alliance.

That said, I agree that NASA has a role to play to encourage diversity and competition, and IMO they've done that with Orion, Dragon, and DreamChaser. Just because SpaceX could use some competition doesn't mean it has to be Boeing.
