I think it is because lately humans are considered animals as well, and at least those can consent to such experiments.
It's likely hard for them to look at what their life's work is being used for. Customer-hostile chatbots, an excuse for executives to lay off massive amounts of middle class workers, propaganda and disinformation, regurgitated SEO blogspam that makes Google unusable. The "good" use cases seem to be limited to trivial code generation and writing boilerplate marketing copy that nobody reads anyway. Maybe they realized that if AGI were to be achieved, it would be squandered on stupid garbage regardless.

Now I am become an AI language model, destroyer of the internet.

They innovate to infiltrate. 20ish years ago Steve Mann was beat up for invading people's comfort zone with AR glasses, then Google's AR users were "glassholes," now Meta is trying to make it cool. As much as I think AI is valuable, I hope they fail. The act of holding up a smartphone is much more explicit to signal to others they're about to lose all privacy to a centralized company. I don't think Quest is that innovative either, it's mostly first person shooters.

Where does Meta actually talk about things that could really be called "cool" at a society level? Or is it all just empty hype along the lines of Facebook being exploitation of social networking.
Honestly I don't really play multiplayer FPSes much these days.
There is one clear answer in my opinion:

There is a secondary market for OpenAI stock.

It's not a public market so nobody knows how much you're making if you sell, but if you look at current valuations it must be a lot.

In that context, it would be quite hard not to leave and sell or stay and sell. What if oai loses the lead? What if open source wins? Keeping the stock seems like the actual hard thing to me and I expect to see many others leave (like early googlers or Facebook employees)

Sure it's worth more if you hang on to it, but many think "how many hundreds of M's do I actually need? Better to derisk and sell"
Speculation: Doing live animal research in space is far more difficult, expensive, and laborious than doing any sort of "cells in a petri dish" research.
If OpenAI is the foremost in solving the AGI - possibly the biggest invention of mankind - it's a little weird that everyone's dropping out.

Does it not look like that no one wants to work with Sam in the long run?
Yes, that is right, it would require a new service running on the host machines.

That said, I do think it depends on what you consider important, and what your experience has been in the past. I used to value simplicity above all, so reducing the number of moving pieces was important to my designs. For the purpose of this discussion let's count a service as a single moving piece.

But over time I've decided that I also value reliability. Operators don't necessarily want simplicity. What they want is reliability and ease-of-use. Simplicity sometimes helps you get there, but not always.

So, yes, rqlite means another service. But I put a lot of emphasis on reliability when it comes to rqlite, and ease-of-operation. Because often when folks want something "simple" what they really want is "something that just works, works really well, and which I don't have to think about". SQLite certainly meets that requirement, that is true.
maybe i'm being overly pedantic but wouldn't that be a a CUPS specific RCE?

There was a quick option to change subpixel layout way-back-when in Linux (GNOME 2.x series), eg. a quick search gave me a screenshot at this page: https://askubuntu.com/questions/88528/how-to-switch-on-sub-p...

Today it seems it's hidden as a dconf option:

$ dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/interface/font-antialiasing
'rgba'

But this is an issue that applies to VA panels as well (cheaper than IPS, worse viewing angles, but better contrast ratio), and I have a 27" 4k VA screen that works just fine with it turned on in Linux — text is so much clearer with it on than off, and attaching a MacBook to a 4k screen at 27" or 32" IPS makes me hate MacOS for killing subpixel rendering off.

As for "retina" resolutions, I've tried 24" at 4K as soon as it came out (with that Dell monitor that required 2 DP 1.1 connections for 60Hz IIRC), and turning subpixel rendering off made text and lines jagged — that was ~190 ppi at a normal viewing distance with vision corrected to better than 20/20 (which is what I usually have — can't really work without glasses anyway, and worse correction leaves me with headaches). For the record, 5k at 27" and 6k at 32" is roughly ~216 ppi, so not much better than ~190 ppi: subpixel rendering probably achieves 2x the increase in text clarity for those not sensitive to colour fringing (I am not).

So, subpixel rendering is really not an issue on any displays, but Apple will happily tell you what's the limit of your vision and upsell you on their monitors.

While cycling somewhere new I have to look upwards and to the side to search for small street name signs and try to read them, to know when to turn. Rather than looking at traffic and the road ahead of me.

A big glowing arrow is going to distract me far less than tiny street name signs.

AR is a big win here. In fact there are all sorts of safety improvements you can imagine for cycling specifically, including making you more aware of vehicles she other cyclists behind you to the side.

For fun:

> In the sentence, the people responsible for the coup are implied to be Murati and Ilya. The phrase "Murati (and Ilya for that matter) took their shot to remove Sam" suggests that they were the ones who attempted to remove Sam (presumably a leader or person in power) but failed, leading to a situation where they had to cooperate temporarily despite tensions.
This is the likely scenario. Every conflict at exec level comes with a "messaging" aspect, with there being a comms team, and board to manage that part.

"AWS experts cost way more than old-school sysadmins"

Where even is still hiring "old-school sysadmins" ? I've got bucketloads of experience in that. I grew up setting up servers and systems for friends in a "pre-AWS" world and now it seems everything is cloud and kubernetes etc and it all just feels overly complex for the sake of it
> If you read a research paper and think you understood it well enough to judge it, you are probably wrong. Even if you are an expert on the topi

That sounds like utter nonsense to me, but I go through about 5-10 papers per year.

> There have been times when I've categorized a paper, on a topic I'm supposed to be an expert, as interesting but practically irrelevant. Only to later find that it became a building block for a major practical result.

This is usually why I am investigating a paper. I want to understand what they did because I see how it can be used practically, if what they wrote is correct.

I'm working on the wpaxos paper right now. There's even some example code, totally missing some aspects of the paxos algorithm (it also doesn't appear to run in its original form). There's a whole section in the paper about transactions, marked as "//todo" in the code. The flexible quorum implementation is subtly incorrect as well. Anyway, it's a pretty good paper, and I'm fairly certain a large part of it is probably driving cosmosdb (since they work at Microsoft now and I recognize a number of possibilities that echo what cosmosdb can do, along with some same constraints and it would explain the weird billing; but this is a total guess and I have no proof of it). Anyway, your comment is something I totally agree with. Most people lack the required knowledge, creativity, and insight into most papers to truly understand what the value is in the research.

For fun, I am researching magnetic resonance through an iphone's magnetometer to detect stalkers. If it works, I'll have an app (assuming apple doesn't have any issues with it). I wish I could write a paper on it, but I am nowhere near academia these days; which is a whole different shit the academics have done to themselves to make it so only academics can contribute to public knowledge research.

The whole publishing papers thing is broken IMHO, and no, I don't have a solution.
Oh. That would be fun on the Vision Pro.

Don’t know wether or not it would be productive, that remains to be seen, but it certainly would be fun.
This is great -

That isn't fair. People need a break. "AGI" / "superintelligence" is not a cause with so much potential we should just damage a bunch of people on the route to it.
Why would you think burnout doesn't apply? It should be a possibility in pretty much any pursuit, since it's primarily about investing too much energy into a direction that you can't psychologically bring yourself to invest any more into it.
Nitpick: In the matrix they harvest bioelectricity, not heat. Not that it makes any more sense.
You definitely can, but the ergonomics of doing that on top of tables vs. on top of a triple-store data model are very different.
In the Matrix books, the machines actually used the brain power of humans, rather than their energy. The makers of the movies just thought people would be too stupid to understand that.
Software is developed by humans, who can burn out for any reason.

Show HN: Lego Meets AI: BricksRL to train your own Lego robot
We're excited to share that our paper on BricksRL, a library of RL algorithms that can be trained and deployed on affordable, custom LEGO robots, has been accepted at NeurIPS 2024 as a spotlight paper!

As AI and machine learning continue to make waves, we believe it's essential to make reliable and affordable education tools available to the community. Not everyone has access to hundreds of GPUs, and understanding how ML works in practice can be challenging.

That's why we've been working on BricksRL, a collaboration between Universitat Pompeu Fabra and PyTorch. Our goal is to provide a fun and engaging way for people to learn about AI, ML, robotics, and PyTorch, while maintaining high standards of correctness and robustness.

BricksRL is based on Pybricks and can be deployed on many different LEGO hubs. We hope it will empower labs worldwide to prototype ideas affordably without requiring expensive robots.

The library is open-sourced under an MIT license on GitHub: https://github.com/BricksRL/bricksrl/

Read our paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.17490

Watch the robots in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_Vb30ZSatk&t=10s

We're working on some exciting follow-up projects, so stay tuned!

You're complaining about the Assistant integration, not stand-alone Gemini.

I think Common Lisp got it exactly right. Strongly typed dynamic language where you can optionally specify types for the extra performance/correctness if need be (especially with SBCL).

Honestly, I think weak typing is more of an issue than dynamic typing and people cry for static types when they suffer mostly from the former.

Dynamic typing is great because it allows you to have extremely complex types for basically free. It allows for insane expressiveness. It also makes prototyping much easier and does not force you into over-specifying in you types early on. In dynamic language most of your types are the most general type that would work by default while static types forces you to use very specific types (especially when lacking structural typing.)

If you want to allow just half the expressiveness of dynamic languages in your static language you will quickly find huge complexity with dependent types, long compile time, cryptic error messages and whatnot.

Generally, I think gradual typing is rising in popularity for good reason. It allows for quick prototyping but also to drill down on your types when you want to. Best of both worlds.

That’s the case with any MDM solution. Whether you use Intune, XenMobile, Jamf, etc. you are using that service to install a validated management profile on your device. Nearly every major institution does this.
Personally, I picked the free Jamf solution so that I could better control my kids’ devices. It’s more complicated than Apple’s Screen Time solution, but there is so much more that you can govern with the management profiles.

What I would love to see is a robust FOSS MDM option. There seem to be a few out there, but I’m not sure how well they’re maintained.

I think you’re responding to my blog article.

Not to derail the thread here, but largely it’s hard to know if people are using on-prem, colo, etc or not because theres no brand name term: it’s just “knowledge”. So doesn't sit as nicely on a JD.

> I can't think of non-entertainment contexts where AR is actually worth the effort over a screen interface.

This I agree with.

> AR via a phone/tablet seems to me to be just as good an interface as any headgear

This I cannot agree with. If you've used recent VR, you know it's the "real deal". We've caught up on the computing capabilities required for full color passthrough and even fairly lightweight headsets. Right now it's a matter of miniaturization, and bringing the cost down beyond the $10,000 price tag that current experiments are running.

If AR becomes a mainstream thing, people are going to want to ditch their phones the moment a good headset is available. If it's not (and I suspect it won't be; "AR" already exists on our phones and hasn't been popular since Pokemon GO) then people will remain apathetic.
I think OP means the failed coup in which they attempted to oust Altman?
My favourite phenomenon is when (computer) security gets in the way of (actual) security.

For example, you implement a super secure solution and no one hacks your website, but you end up being very unproductive and can't find a job. You lost food security.

In covid, bank systems in my country were so hard to use, there were like 6 passwords to login. Not only was usability compromised in the sense of security, but people, especially old people, started lining up in banks, compromising health security.

To say nothing of the scenarios were users just bypass obnoxious exaggerated security systems, like leaving a post-it note with a password on their screens.
Regardless of where AI currently is and where it is going, you don't simply quit as CTO of the company that is leading the space by far in terms of technology, products, funding, revenue, popularity, adoption and just about everything else. She was fired, plain and simple.
Amiga trackers all used samples; whether they sound like chip tunes (that is, like a NES, a C-64, an AY-3-8912 etc) or not depends on the instrument samples used.

AFAIK, the thing that qualifies a music editor as a “tracker” is a tabular representation, rather than a score.

Did you find it headache-inducing compared to other VR headsets or just in general?
This will never be a real product. Putting it out as a "consumer grade prototype" is the pivot itself, garner the maximum PR impact and maybe snap a few customers who could be lured by most of the usability of the Vision Pro at fraction of the bulk (congrats for that!). But this ship has sailed for a decade now again.
Sorry, I prefer real sites over fake sites, but it is now obvious who prefers reading fake materials. And I'm not talking about AI generation.

Your preference for reading material tells me all I need to know about you, which is that if I were to keep taking the average of those who are below average, recursively so, it will still take me many iterations to arrive at how low your standard is.

You obviously created a new account just to comment to this thread, which also goes to show that you do not have the courage to stand by what you write.
A nice intermediate I use is baking the paths into the source code, so that I only recompile when I add files, but I can hot-swap contents without even restarting the server.

Although if you start caching contents in memory (which is faster) you would have to at least kill the server and restart it. Or signal a reload.

My tips for working with complex Stored Procedures.

1. At the beginning of the proc, immediately copy any permanent tables into temporary tables and specify/limit/filter only for the rows you need.

2. In the middle of the proc, manipulate the temporary tables as needed.

3. At the end of the proc, update the permanent tables enclosed within a transaction. Immediately rollback transaction/exit the proc, if an error is detected. (By following all three steps, this will improve concurrency and lets you restart the proc without manually cleaning up any data messes).

4. Use extreme caution when working with remote tables. Remote tables do not reside in your RDBMS and most likely will not utilize any statistics/indexes your RDBMS has. In many cases, it is more performant to dump/copy the entire remote table into a temporary table and then work with that. The most you can expect from a remote table is to execute a Where clause. If you attempt Joins or something complicated, it will likely timeout.

5. The Query Plan is easily confused. In some cases, the Query Plan will resort to perform row by row processing which will bring performance to a halt. In many cases, it is better to break up a complex stored procedure into smaller steps using temporary tables.

6. Always check the Query Plan to see what the RDBMS is actually doing.

>but were never seriously going to work together again after the failed coup.

Just to clear one thing up, the designated function of a board of directors is to appoint or replace the executive of an organisation, and openAI in particular is structured such that the non-profit part of the organisation controls the LLC.

The coup was the executive, together with the investors, effectively turning that on its head by force.
I fully agree with you & upstream - on the other hand there are specific (~local) shops which I use often and I'm 99% sure that I would not need the Credit Card (CC) protection with them, so having a CC-alternative for those cases is nice.
