I think sam is doing dumb stuff right now but can we stop with the hyperbole? OpenAI and sam are very clearly pushing for regulation and working with law makers in tons of countries. There are definitely open aspects of OpenAI but this is such a tired argument I can't be bothered to repeat it for the fifth time.

I agree this move was really the nail in the coffin of trust though. To go from claiming zero financial interest in openai as a reason we should trust him, to (from the sounds of it) about to be nearly ten billion dollars richer from openai, just reeks of bullshit
I guess define "faster". If it means getting to product/market fit earlier, agile is your guy. And that could mean eliminating waste so much that it's just 2 devs hacking on an mvp, testing it with real users every few days / week, adjusting the mvp to solve the users problems better each time, with 0 distractions.

If it means delivering features faster, whatever they are, to make an executive feel better, agile will not help you.
Not that I’m aware of. I agree that would be interesting though
I think there's a few things to consider:

They make a ton of money on large enterprise package deals through Google Cloud. That includes API access but also support and professional services. Most orgs that pay for this stuff don't really need it, but they buy it anyways, as is consistent with most enterprise sales. That can give Google a significant margin to make up the cost elsewhere.

Gemini Flash is probably super cheap to run compared to other models. The cost of inference for many tasks has gone down tremendously over the past 1.5 years, and it's still going down. Every economic incentive aligns with running these models more efficiently.
I also don’t get the hate.
My theory is that, because it is often self-hosted on-prem, some orgs under-provision the hosting and end up with a really sluggish instance, but at the companies that I’ve worked at it has always been quick. Maybe someone here can confirm or refute that theory?
Good, AI shouldn't be anywhere near anything where accountability matters...

Show HN: Multi-agent platform to create and manage agents that do work for you
i think ai agents should be declarative, not imperative

building agents with DAGs, Graphs, and Chains means you're forcing imperative guardrails instead of allowing the agent to reason about which step to take in what order. i believe these will soon be considered tech debt as models like o1 are widely adopted

building a team of declarative reasoning agents means providing instructions and tools, and allowing them to communicate with each other to accomplish work

i want to make building these multi-agent teams and then deploying and monitoring them in production easy for anyone (not just engineers), so i'm building aster agents

bring your own llm api keys and connect integrations to unlock tool calls

for custom tool calls, you can bring your own API to dispatch them

otherwise, you don't need code
I meet many people from rural areas in 'poorer' countries (sorry for that wording it might be wrong) and they all say the same thing. The food in 'more developed' countries 'stinks'.

Most of them want to go home with this as one of the primary reasons. They grow food themselves at home, and that's good food. changing to this bad stuff is super disagreeable to their minds and bodies.
Based on what I've read it is allowed for a non profit to own a for profit asset.

So I'm assuming the game plan here is to adjust the charter of the non profit to basically say we are going to still keep doing "Open AI" (we all know what that means), but through the proceeds it gets by selling chunks of this for-profit entity, so the essence could be the non-profit parent isn't fulfilling its mission by controlling what openai does but how it puts the money to use it gets from openai.

And in this process, Sam gets a chunk (as a payment for growing the assets of the non-profit, like a salary/bonus) and the rest as well....?
The problem is it is almost always a boring tedious job. Most of the exceptions are when they are in the simulator doing training. (they train for worst case things like complete engine failure in weather so bad they wouldn't even take off with good engines - but since there is a possibly this could happen they train for it). However you still want them well rested and paying perfect attention even though the job is easy because every once in a while they hit one of the harder cases in the real world.

Attempt to give a serious answer: Javascript, as a language, has some bizarre return types that can make the kind of thorough testing required in spaceflight difficult. (See: https://github.com/denysdovhan/wtfjs) It also has a reputation, like PHP, as being utilized by inexperienced programmers who write poorly structured, poorly test, bloated, and slow code that often crashes and fails. If you want fast, light weight, reliable, well structured, testable, and ultimately very stable code Javascript would seem to be a poor choice within the parameters required for a space vehicle.

(Maybe this is a good place to ask, anyone have a recommendation for static testing of JS?)

Yes! That's the thing.
o1 has moved "reasoning" from training time to partly something happening at inference time.

I'm thinking of this difference as analogus to the difference between my (as a human) first intution (or memory) about a problem to what I can achieve by carefully thinking about it for a while, where I can gradually build much more powerful arguments, verify if they work and reject parts that don't work.

If you're familiar with chess terminology, it's moving from a model that can just "know" what the best move is to one that combines that with the ability to "calculate" future moves for all of the most promising moves, and several moves deep.

Consider Magnus Carlsen. If all he did was just did the first move that came to his mind, he could still beat 99% of humanity at chess. But to play 2700+ rated GM's, he needs to combine it with "calculations".

Not only that, but the skill of doing such calculations must also be trained, not only by being able to calculate with speed and accuracy, but also by knowing what parts of the search tree will be useful to analyze.

o1 is certainly optimized for STEM problems, but not necessarily only for using strict rule-based logic. In fact, even most hard STEM problems need more than the ability to perform deductive logic to solve, just like chess does. It requires strategical thinking and intuition about what solution paths are likely to be fruitful. (Especially if you go beyond problems that can be solved by software such as WolframAlpha).

I think the main reason STEM problems was used for training is not so much that they're solved using strict rule-based solving strategies, but rather because a large number of such problems exist that have a single correct answer.

there's nothing easy about keeping yourself alert for multiple hours while doing nothing at all

our brains and bodies are lazy and efficient, do nothing long enough and the instinctive "screensaver timeout" kicks in, and you get bored, then loose alert attention. preventing this from happening for multiple hours is tiring and a skill which means it gets easier to do the more you do it

I see “just” as an invitation to win the argument by agreeing with the person. “Ooo yeah good idea, I think we could. Can you help me think through this?” — And then they ideally proceed to come around to essentially what you wanted to do anyways.
I guess my feeling is that, at least for many years, I haven't been sufficiently in need for a too good to be true bargain that I wanted to get anywhere near opportunities like this. Probably a case of risk aversion to some degree. I have very rarely used AirBnB either.

Jira is dying? Hope it is a slow and painful death!

Well.. actually, it doesn't needs to be slow.
In Sweden, new contracts are arbitrary (new stock or people dying/leaving) so the market is at play then but yearly increases are limited in size (with the exception of "standard improving renovations" that are now being mis-used instead to drive out elders).

In general it has had it's benefits for safety but you now also have 70-90 year olds that once had families that now are living alone in 120m2 4-5 room apartments that can't move to anything smaller (thus yielding space to a young family) because the rent in anything smaller would be larger than their current rent, so they stay and the housing usage gets skewed.

I'm a huge fan of SOPS, especially since it can integrate with numerous crypto providers, from `age` for a fully offline crypto source to Hashicorp Vault and big cloud secret / crypto providers.

I wanted a tool that allowed me to store secrets safely without tossing them in plain text env files called `sops-run`. It manages yaml manifests to store your environment variables based on the name of the binary you're running, and only applies the environment variables to the context of app you're running. I never did tidy this up into an installable python package so it can't be easily installed with pipx yet (I keep putting off finishing all of that, pull requests welcome ;-) ), but I like it better than simply using direnv or equivalents, since it doesn't load the environment variables into the shell context, though it could probably be combined with it to hot-load shell aliases for the commands you want to run.

>Understanding the whole process was important even in that industry at that time.

Understanding the whole process of the issue you're trying to solve is important in any industry, but that requires people to be proactive. Unfortunately, these days there's a lot of "well, we know what the customer really wants" because they looked at a NPS score or rely exclusively on survey responses, which are inherently reactive.
Waymo requires interventions about that often driving in San Francisco as well from my experience over many trips. Their interventions are automatic when the car calls back to home base to make a determination as to what to do next and the operator makes a choice on how to proceed. Happens about once every half an hour travelling on Waymo in SF for me.

In short, section 174[0].

It pushed almost all SWE jobs to be classified as R&D jobs, which changed how taxes are calculated on companies.

They have an example at [0], but I'll copy it here. For a $1mm income, $1mm cost of SW dev, with $0 profit previously you paid $0 in tax (your income was offset by your R&D costs). Now it would be about $200k in taxes for 5 years, as you can't claim all of the $1mm that year anymore.

Hot take: OpenGL is lacking when trying to understand how things work. OpenGL hides a lot of state from the API because it has a lot of cruft from when Graphics cards were ASICs. DirectX 11 and especially 12 and Vulkan are closer to the actual hardware capabilities of the GPU and state is more explicitly passed between stages rather than having a state machine hiding somewhere in the driver
My biggest gripes are mostly Atlassian's fault, in that their products seem to take AGES to load (wasting my time) while also providing a UX that seems designed to force as many page loads as possible (wasting even MORE of my time). They keep hiring product people from the Marquis de Sade School of User Interface Design, and it shows.

I also have a huge dislike for all the horrible things so many companies do with Atlassian products, and although that is not necessarily their fault it is still somewhat related to those products. Want a guaranteed raise next time? Just chop your code up into a zillion commits, and write a crapton of sub-issues. SMH

GitHub issues/projects are great for small teams, but can't remotely stand up feature-wise in a larger organization (and assumes everyone is a developer) so as much as I love their stuff, it cannot really compete in the Enterprise space by design.

Argentina never had rent control. Rent control keeps rents low for indefinite periods of time. Argentina simply mandated 3 year leases.
This is great. Sam tried the non-profit thing, it turned out not be a good fit for the world, and he's adapting. We all get to benefit from seeing how non-profits are just not the best idea. There are better ways to improve the world than having non-profits (for example, we need to abolish copyright and patent law; that alone would eliminate the need for perhaps the majority of non-profits that exist today, which are all working to combat things that are downstream of the the toxic information environment created by those laws).
RIP both.

Jira is a loss of time. And Agile is even worse, just a useless, counterproductive dogma that only drags the development of the product. We dropped them both during the pandemics, and that's how it stayed.
I don't think I've ever heard of a rent control law that allowed setting "excessively high rents" to try to preemptively counter it.

California rent stabilization doesn't have any stipulations about starting rent for new tenants, only increases for existing tenants.

While I haven't seen it explicitly stated anywhere, I assume California landlords take into account the rent increase restrictions when deciding on what to ask for starting rent. They don't want to be caught in a situation with a 20% insurance increase and a max 8% rent increase, such that they are no longer cash flowing. So they'll add some buffer ahead of time.
In software development, time is the wood we carve stuff out of.
> You'll need to share the decryption key (e.g. via 1password shared vaults).

Not really. It also supports keeping the symmetric decryption key encrypted with the GPG key of each added user (and handles this automatically). This is the default behavior.

What you're saying also works (quoting from readme, emphasis mine: "Alternatively, you can export a symmetric secret key, which you must securely convey to collaborators."), but feels worse from a security point of view.

I mean during regular driving there are moments requiring intervention that occur at unpredictable times and when you're about to die if not properly responded to, they're just awash in a sea of lower stakes interventions. My commute is about 3 miles and this morning I had two people in front of me slam their brakes unexpectedly and another person swerve into my lane just ahead of me. So that's roughly one high stakes human intervention per mile.

I'm not saying that 13 per mile is good enough, but the metric does seem useful.

Wage inequality is not a problem because the gini coefficient does not measure how great or terrible your life is, how financially constrained you are, how much money limits your freedom, etc.

Forget about PPP for a moment and just pretend goods cost the same everywhere for the sake of this example. A country where everyone has $0 and makes $1/year has a "perfect" gini coefficient, indicating perfect wealth and income distributions. A country where everyone's a millionaire, but where some people make a million a year and others make a billion a year has a much worse gini coefficient, and yet is still the place you'd rather live in, out of these two examples.

The suffering by the people of the former is not mitigated by their high gini coefficient, because their suffering is a result of poverty, not a result of inequality.

The celebrations of prosperity by the latter occur in spite of inequality.

The takeaway is clear - equality or inequality have a completely non-causal relationship with the quality of life of the people in the region being measured.

Further, adviocacy for combatting inequality sounds laudable at face value, but underneath the surface, what does it look like? After all, here in the west we're all the rich oppressors who benefit from economic exploitation of the global south. Accordingly, are we all going to have our assets seized and income garnished to reduce the inequality of the global poor? Remember, the average American public school teacher is in the top decile globally by both income and wealth.

The actual problem that you're unhappy about is that average wages have not been keeping up with the rising cost of living over the last 50 years. That's a complex problem with a lot of variables, including quite a few that violate what popular social consesus dictates you are allowed to even think about or question, and is beyond the scope of my response to enumerate. That said, calls to "reduce inequality" aren't it - those are just calls for most of the people on HN to have wages and assets seized involuntarily - at gunpoint and under threat of imprisonment by a SWAT team that will shoot your dog and throw a flashbang grenade in your infant's crib if you resist...

California tends to work this way. Rent control (government chosen pricing) tends to affect only older buildings, not new ones, and is for rent increases not original rent.

Places that implemented it (SF, Santa Monica, West Hollywood) now have the highest rents. People that are grandfathered never move. Reduces available locations by artificially scarcity. Landlords love it. Grandfathered renters love it. People moving in need to afford much more than older residents and hate it.

It is common to be scheduled a 24 hour shift - it is expected that you will find time to sleep but will be woken up to tend to an emergency. firefighers and EMTs work this way - sleep in the firehouse (or whereever) but if there is a 3am alarm jump and go to work. I know an ER doctor (in a very rural hospital) who also works this way, when there is nobody needing care he just finds a spare bed and sleeps until someone wakes him. Big hospitals might have enough overnight work to keep some doctor up all night but they still need some sort of backup system because a few nights a year things will be extra busy.
