Had he left out "rather than a meaningful difference in outcomes" then maybe.

Most of the drugs that I've been offered have weight-gain as a prominent and common side effect. Some parents even got irate about gynecomastia, which is typically not seen isolated from obesity.

How many drugs on the market have "loss of appetite/weight" as a side effect? Probably none, outside of the ones currently labeled for it. And methamphetamine. Well, there was also AZT, Fen-Phen... Didn't heroin help a few folks slim down a bit?

Everyone postulating that this was Sam’s bidding is forgetting that Greg also left this year,

That makes it much more probable that these execs have simply lost faith in OpenAI.

I think this is a common misconception of the comparison between "capitalism" and other forms of economic distribution. It's not capitalism that equates everything to dollars, it is how the universe works. This was the beauty of Karl Marx's thinking. He postulated that the best way to measure value is in the amount of human labor that goes into the output. However, once you have a medium to equate the value of a new chair into labor then I can come up with an another transformation to equate that labor into some defined quantity of glass beads. It turns out that choosing Labor as the "value" is completely arbitrary, and so dollars (or yen or gold) works just as well as a medium for conversion.
I commented asking them politely to rephrase in better English since it was uncomprehensible, or at least append what they intended to say in their preferred language. They didn't like it...
I disagree: I am not susceptible to colour fringing, and I can tell if subpixel rendering is on or off on 24" 4k screens (~190 ppi) at a regular or even further viewing distance (~70cm/27") — I specifically got that display hoping for subpixel rendering to be turned off.

Haven't tried Apple's big "retina" screens but considering they are ~215 ppi, pretty confident 10% increase in PPI wouldn't make a difference that subpixel rendering does. Laptop screens have higher resolution, but haven't really paid attention to whether M1 Air 13" or 4K 14" X1 Carbon work for me without subpixel rendering (I prefer to be docked).

Before anyone jumps on "you've got incredible vision": I wear either glasses or contacts, and with that my vision corrects to better than 20/20 — slightly lower correction induces headaches for me. Without glasses, I'd probably be happy with 640x480 on 32" so they are kind of a must. :)
This is now my head-canon.
It's easy to have missed this part of the story in all the chaos, but from the NYTimes in March:

Ms. Murati wrote a private memo to Mr. Altman raising questions about his management and also shared her concerns with the board. That move helped to propel the board’s decision to force him out.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/07/technology/openai-executi...

It should be no surprise if Sam Altman wants executives who opposed his leadership, like Mira and Ilya, out of the company. When you're firing a high-level executive in a polite way, it's common to let them announce their own departure and frame it the way they want.
If I had barrels full of money to waste, probably a microkernel architecture like fuchsia [1]. The barrels full of money would be turning it into a real time OS. The benefit of such an OS is if there's a bug in the drivers, the kernel itself keeps on plugging along, it can dump and reload the misbehaving driver without crashing.

Part of the problem is that raw Scheme is spectacularly underspecified.

It also doesn't help that Schemes like Guile are also interactive. The domain of an interactive language and a "compiled" language are quite different.

Given the entirety of the program made available to the compiler all at once, there are high level derivations that can happen notably through flow analysis to let the compiler make better decisions. But do that in an interactive environment when the rug can be pulled out of any of the assumption the compiler made, and things get messy quite quickly.

One interesting tidbit for Java is that the developers of the compiler advocate "idiomatic" Java. Simply, write Java like Java, and don't try to trick the compiler. Let the compiler developers trick the compiler.

That's evident here in this article when they wrote the function that tests the types of the parameters. Raw Scheme, naturally, doesn't allow you to specify parameter types, not the way you can in Common Lisp, for example. And, either Guile does not have an specific extension to support this, or simply the compiler looks for this type checking pattern at the top of a function to make optimization determinations. On the one hand, it could be more succinct with a specialized facility, but on the other, this is "just Scheme".

So, in effect by checking for the type of the variable, they're implicitly declaring the type of the variable for the "sufficiently smart" compiler to make better decisions.

The counter example is the "define-inline" construct, and thus not standard Scheme (though readily replaced by a "no-op" macro if one was interested in porting the code).
This is to zoom correct? You can also pinch/unpinch!
There are some good articles that explain what happened with the coup, that's the main thing to read up on. As for the reason she's leaving, you don't take a shot at the leader of the organization, miss, and then expect to be able to remain at the organization. She's probably been on house leave since it happened for the sake of optics at OpenAI.
So "What did Ilya see" might just be "Ilya actually saw Sam"
While I consider Microsoft's punishment was rather soft - they did however make a huge effort the publicly act like they were changing, including embracing open source instead of trying to kill it.

That's why I find it surprising, they'd made a significant effort to at least appear compliant to the antitrust rulings.
I like the concept so far in the video. I just want more, even bigger, more panes, all connected! If it's usable in such a state I don't know, but would be fun to try. Like a UML diagrams of the whole code base with thousands of arrows.

And git diffs being visual, can just zoom in on the changes here and there.

The thing is they the projects are not really that separate.

FuriOS is essentially Droidian for Furi Labs phones.
Droidian is Mobian running on the libhybris/halium compatibility layer.
Ubuntu touch is one of the older linux on mobile projects also running on libhybris/halium.

These all then contribute back upstream on the various projects that make linux on mobile work.

You seem to be saying that

Problem is the 10-20 year window doesn't look so good.

Only vampires don't realize you can't suck every last drop out out. Every good manager knows you can't count on more than 80% employee utilization in the best circumstances with the best people. Now companies expect zero hour employees (part time employees who are guaranteed zero hours/zero schedule but expected to move their lives around their job, which is one of three part time jobs they need to survive) to do more than that by requiring employees do the manager's job of finding shift coverage off hours using their personal phone, etc while also being 100% utilized during work hours, with zero overlapping roll coverage. That isn't sustainable and no way live, and is an unreasonable expectation from a zero hour job.

DNA evidence is where it's hard to get a false negative then false positive.
TLS should be done with proxies, yes. The Stunnel approach is Gospel.

Similarly if you start load balancing, you can put some server in the middle yes. But the ideal solution is at the DNS level I think, unless there's some serious compute going on (which a website loading a page from disk is not).

URL rewrites should not be a thing unless you have a clusterfuck, and Security is best accomplished in my experience by removing, rather than by adding.
I really wish there were a compatibility layer that could sit on top of SQLite and make it pretend to be redis, so we could switch more things to use SQLite. It doesn't even need to satisfy all the distributed systems guarantess or even implement proper pub/sub, it could just do everything with polling and a single event loop. It would be great for smaller projects that want to run something like celery or any app that depends on redis without needing to install redis.
People are saying this is coup-related but it could also be due to this horrible response to the a question about what they used to train their Sora model:

I checked the code and found the issue. It's a result of Gemini's larger context window.

Basically, the Foxtrot scraping library sends the page in chunks. The chunk size is capped at the max context length of each model, which for Gemini is 1,000,000 input tokens for lite. That's compared to 128,000 for GPT-4o-mini.

Typically, you won't need all the tokens in the page, and sending a million tokens when 100,000 will work is wasteful in terms of cost and runtime, and can also hurt accuracy.

I'm going to re-run the benchmarks with a cap on the prompt size for models like Gemini.

most of the people seem to be leaving due to the direction where Altman is taking OpenAI. It went from a charity to him seemingly doing everything possible to monetize it for himself both directly and indirectly by him trying to raise funds for AI adjacent traditionally structured companies he controlled

A long time ago I did some work to do exactly this in an automated fashion using ffmpeg. It wasn't perfect, but it was better than nothing. I tried going back through my bash history, and the last related entry was this command line:

ffmpeg -i C0119.MP4 -vf vidstabtransform=interpol=no:crop=black:optzoom=0:zoom=0:smoothing=0:debug=1:input="weirdzoom.trf",unsharp=5:5:0.8:3:3:0.4 kittens-stabilized.mp4

I think the trick was to set all the stabilization parameters to 0 and crop=black to force ffmpeg to move the image around as much as necessary and zoom everything out.

EDIT: nevermind, it was more complicated than that. I actually wrote a Python script that modified the motion tracking information generated by ffmpeg to reduce the zoom amount and fit everything within a 1920x1080 frame. Man, I wish I'd added comments to this.

The https://www.reddit.com/r/ImageStabilization/ subreddit has a lot of posts in that style, but from the research I did it seems like it's mostly done manually by lining up each frame as a separate layer and then rendering an animation that adds one layer per frame.

The fat warning about optics make me realize a fibre optic cable can transmit light straight to the ISP's box (or can it?), and that it might be possible to shoot a laser to do some damage at the other end of a communication link, however little.

While you can embed code blocks, you can they aren't syntax highlighted yet. It's on the roadmap. I take it you mean to render latex? I'd need to figure out if I can render server-side. Trying to avoid client-side JS. I can add a feature request to the backlog.

The more desireable things can be added over time. I need to launch first. I also need to be mindful of what's added, so I things stay fairly lean and snappy.
But if you look at the number-crunching process that gave you those percentages, it turns out to be woefully fragile and sensitive to a whole range of other factors

Countless prior models were completely off, but this one is suddenly correct and needs to be treated as a reliable predictor.

The problem is that if you dare to question the accuracy, you are immediately labeled a "denier." The only acceptable answer is that no matter what the prediction is, if it is alarmist, it is correct.

I feel like programmers didn't care as much back in the days of Winamp. Doing plugins, skins and stuff. But the sentiment have changed. The age of freeware, nagware (Winrar) and shareware is gone.

Not a fan of WPE, which destroyed Flywheel, one of the most brilliant companies and teams I’ve ever dealt with.

Also not much of a fan of Wordpress.org after using it for 15+ years (and recently ditching it), but that’s mainly because of having to field questions from non-technical friends who have bloated awful Wordpress sites riddled with malware or abandonware.

Even less of a fan of Wordpress.com

But in the bigger picture Wordpress - or the idea of Wordpress - is a good thing.

But who on earth is advising Mullenweg here? Or is he so powerful within the Wordpress ecosystem that he can just do crazy things like this and everyone bends to him as WP BDFL? (Though arguably now more D than B)

I thought his presentation where he kicked off this war was a little odd. He seemed either very nervous or very amped up, there were a lot of awkward vocal ticks/tremors/nervous laughter/heavy breathing in his run up to his “big reveal”. Or maybe he’s always like that. This was my first time watching him speak and I came away thinking less of him and less of WPE. But mainly less of him because I already had a pretty febrile opinion of WPE.

This latest salvo is just crazy. As someone else in this thread has said it’s Muskesque.

But maybe that’s the strategy. “Just be out and out crazy and burn everything to the ground to try and save it”.

I wonder how many “normal” wordpress users are aware of this stuff, or whether it’s confined to a little bubble of tech industry folk reaching for the popcorn?

Maybe OpenAI is trying to enter a new enterprise phase past its startup era?

They have hired CTO like figures from ex MSFt and so on … which would mean a natural exit for the startup era folks that we have seen recently?

Every company wants to sell itself as some grandiose savior initially ‘organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible’, ‘solve AGI’ but I guess the investors and the top level people in reality are motivated by dollar signs and ads and enterprise and so on.

Not that that’s a bad thing but really it’s a Potemkin village though…

Between 1 and 10 thousands of days, so 3 to 27 years.

A range I'd agree with; for me, "pessimism" is the shortest part of that range, but even then you have to be very confident the specific metaphorical horse you're betting on is going to be both victorious in its own right and not, because there's no suitable existing metaphor, secretly an ICBM wearing a patomime costume.
TBH with Rust it's easier, because if it compiles, it works. While in the dynamic languages ecosystems is more risky and will require either way manual review, unless you have 100% test coverage that I would assume is very rare.

K3s has been amazing as a super easy-to-use bundled Kubernetes, but I'm really looking forward to future iterations like Cozystack here, where there's even more batteries-included. This looks like such an amazing out of box experience for running a pool of computers.

There's a vocal "you might not need Kubernetes" crowd, but against that backdrop, so far I think the prevailing attitude has largely been that self-hosting businesses and especially hobbyists/individuals have all been a bit crazy, that the world is utterly unwilling or incapable of diving in to all thats required to run computers & never will this change. Cozystack is one of the first things I can point to & say, maybe it will be that easy. This project opens the doors of possibility, begins a future where running computers maybe isn't that hard.
