You aren’t missing anything. The comment you’re responding to is wrong and understating net income for some reason. It was indeed $15B last year. Plus the targets set for Elon’s package was based on a number of metrics there were already met, so I don’t know why net income matters.
Then how about daytrading, crypto trading, lottery, horse betting, etc. the list goes on. There are no shortage of ways to separate people from their money. It's like those school soda bans. As it turns out, people can get their soda from many places, not just school.
this is because we siphon water from rivers, mostly for agriculture

I found the evolution of programming languages article you sourced very interesting.

Just to summarize the article, it shows that writing completely new code in memory safe language, while maintaining non-memory safe code, results in a steep reduction in memory safe errors overtime even though it results in an overall increase in unsafe code. It says that most memory safe vulnerabilities come from completely new code not maintained code and thus argues you can get the most of the benefits of memory safe code without rewriting your entire code base, which I think is the main takeaway from the article.

I’m not sure that’s totally happening in MacOS from reading your article, but it kind of is, so I think my hypothesis is correct that MacOS will likely have less vulnerabilities as it transitions many newer projects to swift although its important to note that important vulnerable projects such as webkit are still written in C++.
I thought Sam had no equity in OpenAI and this story is claiming there's no plan for him to have a significant stake.

Where is the selfish gain?

You can claim that the story is false and there is a plan for gain but at this stage we have someone saying A and someone saying !A. It's probably a time to look for evidence.

There are two reasons, one virtuous and one sinful:

* People hate saving money, money in our hand now must be spent now. Buying High and Selling Low is in our DNA, quite literally. Nobody wants to save a buck a day for a potential externality when they can spend that buck on something right here right now. Mandatory insurance forces people to save a buck (the monthly premium) for the potential externality, forcing people to Buy Low and Sell High.

* People want wealth, some moreso than others. The secret sauce? Being the middleman has the biggest revenue compared to effort. You are literally moving money from Person A to Person C, and you as Person B can take some of it. This is textbook rent seeking.

If you just want a TL;DR, here: People are shit.
This is an entirely different conversation though, and it doesn't invalidate the conversation they were having earlier about the correct amount.

It looks like you can do it that way according to the docs [0] :

Not sure what it does exactly under the hood. I'm not sure it persists after an upgrade.

In the release announcement blog post they also mention a way to build your own (base OS?) image with something called VIB [1]

Regarding space efficiency, the distribution relies on a "LVM Thin provisioning" feature. [2]

Reading through this writeup I'd argue it's indeed quite bad, but more in the sense that the entire `cups-browsed` daemon should probably stop existing, and the Linux ecosystem should have a serious discussion about the future of CUPS in general.

These bugs look surprisingly trivial, and upstream response to what is in the end still a fairly serious security issue isn't exactly what one would expect from an installed-by-default desktop Linux package.

But no, it's definitely not worth the stop-the-world CVSS 9.9 panic.
Liars will lie to advance their position.
If it's never enough, then it's pointless to try to accumulate more. You will be in the same situation of not having enough money.

What you say is not true, otherwise nobody would retire early and many people do just that.

However, many billionaires become that rich for being exactly the type of person for whom money is never enough. But we don't need to be like them.
Building a Custom AI Solution for a Non-Technical Company
I take your point on the economics, especially if transport costs of diesel fuel are high.

It would mainly hinge on whether the site has viable wind/solar + battery options. On ships/arctic bases renewable is not viable.

I was thinking security costs of 24/7 manned security which would probably not be needed for Wind/Solar farms. It would be the same costs for fossil fuel plants that's true.

It's not my state, but in this case, the politics are as much populist as corporatist, aren't they?

As viable, sound insurance is made unaffordable and inaccessible by radical increases in both costs and risks, jeopardizing the ability to buy or sell insured property at all, you can kick the can down the road and protect your next candidacy by quietly easing up on "sound". The catastrophic consequences won't come until later, but the underlying market gets to keep floating and stay liquid in the meantime. Whether it's in their long-term interests or not, voters want that, don't they?
Music? I don't think anyone listens to American music these days outside of America (and maybe Canada). America used to produce great music, back in the 60s-80s, that people around the world wanted to listen to, but that went away after the 2000s.

American movies, however, are still quite popular abroad. Offhand, I'd say it's one of America's biggest exports. "Microcode" is the other one, if you mean things like CPU design: all the biggest CPU makers are in America: Intel, AMD, Apple, Qualcomm, etc. (Many of the CPUs are manufactured elsewhere, usually by TSMC, but all the design work is done in the US.)

Some things have inherent complexity. Different formulations or UX can alleviate some of this complexity, but often it is shifted around, or hidden - not actually solved.

Some solutions can definitely make a situation net-worse/net-more-complex, and occasionally we get advances in theory which can change the watermark on complexity, but it never _goes away_.
I don't necessarily disagree with your conclusion but I'd like to know how you arrived there. What makes gambling a part of free society but not gambling advertisements?
Historically software companies were smart enough to overlook piracy outside of their key markets. Plenty of poor American kids learned to program on pirated copies of visual studio.

Some point the company's got greedy and decided they want to crack down in all piracy. This shortsightedness first hit Adobe. I'd estimate that half the people who know photoshop learned it on a pirated copy. The harder Adobe makes piracy, the fewer kids teach themselves photoshop.

Microsoft, to their credit, made Visual Studio Community Edition, although IMHO they nerfed the first few releases too much.

You can view commercial software with overlooked piracy as a form of the rich subsidizing everyone else.

Again it is unfortunate that companies got greedy and tore the system down for a one time boost in revenue.
His home address and social security number are not material nor part of the "public interest" and a legitimate reporter would have excluded them.
Great, you're in the minority of companies that did so.
The whole point is that Sam is not going to stick to his statements.

He is working behind the scenes to get a good stake in the company, and he most likely has told them he needs that stake to motivate himself to take the company to the next level.

I am guessing that they have a slew of new tools upcoming and this is Sam cashing out.
my guess is that they don't even know how to build it
It's fair to say that a company which makes cars that can be stolen with only a USB socket bears significant culpability for car thefts.

Can you explain what causes you to say that we will be the last generation to say this? Not rhetorical, although this caused me to question it because I think that this is probably a constant wrt generations passing onto the next and unlikely to change.
Kamal 2.0 Released
I think the main issue is it's just different to how it was before and Google won't be grandfathering in old apps. So you have to rebuild the integrations to use the new APIs which mostly let you do the same thing but it's still not a trivial drop in replacement.
> pointless to try to accumulate more

That is only true if you are constrained by lack of opportunities.

When money is never enough, then every opportunity to make some is going to be used to the full extent.
i remember years ago i saw a video of sam altman interviewing elon musk. it was filmed inside the spacex factory. maybe you know the one? i didnt know who sam was at the time. i remember being very, very put off by the way sam was behaving. he had this bizarre, almost unbelievable expression on his face, almost like he was pantomiming as a child looking up at his parents, adoring them. this weird, fake shy-smile. and i remember immediately having an intense disliking of him. this person seemed extremely fake, manipulative and narcissistic. it was such low-level behavior that i thought it must be some intern or someone way out of their depth. this interview is some kind of fluke. its so unbelievably insane to me that this person, who i disliked so much that i remembered him even without knowing his name or who he was, is now at the helm of one of the most important developments in human history. and the subject of todays headline is no surprise at all... i think everyone should think very carefully about the fact that sam altman will at some point, probably, be the very first person in the world to sit down in front of a console and hold the reigns directly and without supervision to a super-intelligent system that does not bear any of the regulatory or moral restrictions that would stop it from taking over the world. this evil narcissist, liar, money hungry, power grabbing A* hole will hold the most power that any human has ever held. do you really want that?

I don't think it is in itself that surprising, that writing all new code in MSLs leads to less MS vulnerabilities. The likelihood of new code introducing new MS issues is after all higher than to discover existing ones in old code (which still happens of course).

However, it is impressive that from 2019 to 2023 the issues went down by almost 60% without rewriting, just by adding new code in MSLs (Rust mostly, I guess, probably a bit Kotlin). 60% is a massive achievement. I wonder why there's a plateau from 2021 and 2023. The fact that they use extrapolated number for 2024 reveals their intention to show nice numbers, but it would have been more beneficial if they'd have spent the time to analyse and explain the rise from 2022 to 2023.

I'm a bit disappointed that they don't tell us how much of the new MS code is written in which language. Seems like they're using both Rust and Kotlin. Is it 95% Rust? Or "just" 50% Rust? If the Kotlin portion is significant, in what areas do they use it instead of Rust?
Oh, thank you for the validation! For three years I've been measuring, weighing, logging all my nails and hair and poop, and I thought I was alone!
> A system that centralises power over everything into the hands of a single government will ALWAYS end in corruption, surely that’s obvious?

See: United States government

I live under this system, you don't need to explain it. I can see how it has failed for millions of Americans while propping up the very few.

> How anyone can support far-left ideology after the lessons of the 20th century is beyond me.

I never said I supported Communism. But Capitalism is a failure for the proles due to corruption, favoritism, and purchasing of the [American] government.
Probably why great grandparent used that phrase. ;)
How is it possible to make tax free "donations" for profit making applications? You seem to imply there is nothing nefarious about the setup. Except the non-profit designation doesn't actually perform no social services, instead stand as a business structure to skirt taxation. Change my mind
A really valuable lesson that I feel like I have to keep learning.
As far as I can tell, the plastics generally aren't even better at being clothes. They just cost less than cotton, which is why they generally blend cotton and polyester to create something that feels good enough while reducing the expensive cotton usage.
That’s the claim, but the court document’s tone and language shows this was an ideological decision for the judge rather than a factual determination.

Regardless, shareholders just voted again on that same exact package retroactively and re approved it. This was a clear indication that the market still feels, even in hindsight, that the past targets were deserving of the equity granted. What internal folks thought or the judge’s guess about shareholders being “tricked” doesn’t matter since it is something shareholders (owners of the company) have judged on their own with all the information they have now about past performance. Also, neither Elon nor his brother voted on the measure. So to me all this serves as evidence that enough people think the targets were absurd enough to at least justify the equity.
You don’t ban anything, you make more attractive whatever behavior you want to promote, the paper thinks stocks are better so then make index investing a better alternative.
Similar, but I keep old clothes to use as test fabric for machine embroidery.
I’m switching over to merino wool whenever it goes on sale. Socks first and it’s been a huge change in quality for me. My feet are much happier.
Note Elon made a significant "donation" early into OpenAI given their non-profit designation and intentions, in return receiving zero equity. The donation was also received tax free
Am I right in understanding: you want some private, internal structure to be generic over some types, but you don’t want any wrapping structs to carry around that generic?

Could this problem be reformulated to use associated types, rather than full generics?
I'd think that most ingested plastic comes from food packaging.
You mentioned that you don’t understand the magical thinking, but then someone shows that the proper incantation matters more than the sentiment or intent. That’s why you see magical thinking. We all want a world where the earnest desire for rescue matters more than words in the request, because while sometimes we know the right words, sometimes we don’t. If you think you always know the right words and everyone else should too, that’s not reasonable and this should be obvious for many reasons along the lines of differences in intelligence, jurisdiction, language difficulties, etc
> The parties don’t get to share what they discovered with the public,

Not directly, but they can enter it as evidence into the lawsuit, in which case it gets publicly released unless the other side can convince the judge to seal it. Absolutely parties try to get embarrassing information exposed to the media in this way. They only can do that if it is plausibly relevant to the subject matter of the lawsuit-but internal conversations in which executives are attacking the company suing them very likely are.
Made me think of these, and then I remembered to spread the meme:

Systems Thinking, Jamshid Gharajedaghi

Mentioned in the article. Despite the celebrity power behind the title has some solid ideas backed by fairly cold analysis.
The difference is self harm vs harming others. The distinction is that advertising may convince people who do not gamble to start gambling.
This comment reeks of Steve Ballmer opinion of Apple and the Internet early days. If you work at any decent technology company, you realize AI applications every where and the pending mass layoffs. Or nimbler startups replicating their work more efficiently.

The iOS file picker does have a recent files tab and it seems to be the first one that opens.
If internal folks really thought the share price would increase by 983%(the pay package target), they would have bought shares with all the money they have, plus sell/pawn everything they have and borrow as much as they could. That didn't happen.
For clarity Finland is a full member of NATO, as of 4 April 2023.

shades of grey and tradeoffs. gambling has a very clear and well studied negative effect on a small but sizeable percent of people and its not that great for everyone else. its my opinion were better off without it
Drugs are in fact banned for the public good (ostensibly).

And why aren't gambling advertisements "part of a free society"?

I'm all for being skeptical of the government and its (ab)use of power, but I must admit I struggle to find a good excuse to not ban gambling past "people should be allowed to ruin their own lives".
I mean that sounds ideal unless you can have a proper employee ownership/cooperative model. This hard line keeps political lines clear between labor power and management and generally the power seeking go into management roles.

Middle management are the foot soldiers for capital in the war of equity and profit sharing - making that muddier only helps investors.

It’s a shame that there’s are likely good managers caught up in this, with labor advocating for them, but this hierarchical structure is fundamentally broken and needs to go away.

I don’t understand - are you suggesting rent control keeps doing prices? SF is one of the most expensive housing and rental markets in the US. What’s not clear about the need for more supply?

In the mean time rent control means we haven’t completely killed off normal people who were here before. The city has already suffered a big blow to culture, teachers, etc due to the price increases this far (and with it techies who care about money and job vs desiring the location, and thus take vs give).

location
There was PR article after PR article about how he originally had no equity/stock in OpenAI.
You don't need a google drive specific picker. Drive adds itself in to the OS file picker, on iOS at least. And that lets any app access any file without even using the drive api or having an api key. The key point is that iOS and Android control that access so the app can't open a file the user didn't select.

If you want that functionality, you can do it easily for files the app created itself, or if you want access to literally everything without user oversight, you need a security audit.
My key fob has two way communication and like a half mile range in urban areas.

If I ever park and wonder “damn did I lock my car” I can look at my key fob and see if it has a locked or unlocked padlock on it. As long as I remember sometime within like 20 minutes of parking (assuming I spend 20 minutes walking away from it in a straight line), I can lock it if I _did_ forget. I’ll get confirmation that it locked if I do that and the command makes it through.

Mine also works even where there’s no cell reception!

Which is all to say… I’d prefer better key fobs instead of cellular modems and cloud services.
Duh, I suppose this is obvious. Just take inflated pay as long as the good times last. I was trying to envision some grand huge payout, but methodical grind until apocalypse is fine too.

What you’re suggesting, if I understand you correctly, is the market is suggestion it’s irrational for any teacher to go to SF? And thus SF shouldn’t have any teachers because richer people can afford to displace them?
Synthetics often dry much faster than cotton and are more useable when wet.
This sounds like proprietary syntax for SQL 2011 temporal queries. Apparently supported by eg MS SQL server and MariaDB.
I guess it depends if we're talking individual-voters or aggregate all-voters.

Individual voters (who own property) would very much like to avoid any additional costs.

Aggregate all voters presumably don't feel great about the costs of subsequent bail-outs (especially considering states can't run deficits).
That's the point, the security auditor is providing any service other than being a barrier.
There is no logically consistent world in which “Gambling is a part of a free society” and “Gambling advertisements…Don’t let it happen”.

If you’re taking a libertarian, its part of a free society therefore we are helpless and must allow it view, then banning the speech around it completely contradicts this view.
