tl;dr If you're going to be a CTO or founding engineer, make sure you are getting well compensated, either through salary (which start-ups generally can't do) or equity (which the founder won't generally give away).
There is neuroscience though which is a science and can prove things like depression and schizophrenia exist (many distinct kinds of both, possible to distinguish using MRI). Sadly there aren't many neuroscientists and MRI machines available to general public so we still have to rely on psychiatrists for help when our neural system goes awry. In many cases they actually help.

>I don't know what IG "archiving" entails, does it remove stories from public view or something?

Ah, there's the disconnect.

"Stories" only display for 24 hours, and then they're gone from your profile. That said, they're saved in a story archive that only you have access to - ostensibly, as it says in their settings menu, so you "don't have to save them to your phone". They're not being served to users, they're just there for you to look back on, and maybe re-share if you want to in the future.

>Do you want to serve the content or not?

Maybe. Maybe not. It's up to the individual to decide. My point is, it does not have to be that complicated for things that one wants to, essentially, just archive.

>The main point of using an online service like IG is for serving and sharing your content. Not keeping it to yourself.

Sure! And what happens if something that you really want shared on your IG profile gets deleted from a bug like this? Wouldn't it help to, I dunno... have that stored somewhere "in case of emergencies"? ;)

It wasn't an eighteen dollar a month lawyer, so your description of it as "any other" is wrong.
It seems quite likely that Finish unions work differently to US ones. The legal details and organisational traditions matter.

Dang, hits home. When I was a senior in high school, I was lucky to able to volunteer under Dr. Eric Brown De Colstoun at NASA Goddard, checking error rates for tree cover estimates using Landsat data^. Many hours that fall spent trudging around parks and forests, looking at the sky through a PVC pipe. It still kind of blows my mind at how much is able to be gained from images where each pixel is 15mx15m of ground-level area (and, I believe, with an important component of Landsat 7's imaging system broken for most of its lifespan).

I also wasn't aware that Landsat program imagery had been made free to access a few years later. Nice.

^(A massive thank you to him, since I wouldn't have graduated without being able to participate in that project. And a massive apology for going on to get a fine arts degree.)

https://www.aspi.org.au/report/critical-technology-tracker

> Our research reveals that China has built the foundations to position itself as the world’s leading science and technology superpower, by establishing a sometimes stunning lead in high-impact research across the majority of critical and emerging technology domains.

> China’s global lead extends to 37 out of 44 technologies that ASPI is now tracking, covering a range of crucial technology fields spanning defence, space, robotics, energy, the environment, biotechnology, artificial intelligence (AI), advanced materials and key quantum technology areas. The Critical Technology Tracker shows that, for some technologies, all of the world’s top 10 leading research institutions are based in China and are collectively generating nine times more high-impact research papers than the second-ranked country (most often the US). Notably, the Chinese Academy of Sciences ranks highly (and often first or second) across many of the 44 technologies included in the Critical Technology Tracker. We also see China’s efforts being bolstered through talent and knowledge import: one-fifth of its high-impact papers are being authored by researchers with postgraduate training in a Five-Eyes country. China’s lead is the product of deliberate design and long-term policy planning, as repeatedly outlined by Xi Jinping and his predecessors.

Emphasis mine.
Does that amount to making a false forward-looking financial statement? (Specifically his claim that he wasn’t interested in getting equity in the future.)

This claim he made was likely helpful in ensuring the OpenAI team’s willingness to bring him back after he was temporarily ousted by the board last year for alleged governance issues. (Basically: “don’t worry about me guys, I’m in this for the mission, not personal enrichment”)

Since his claim likely helped him get re-hired, he can’t claim it was immaterial.

I really hope someone from the SEC scrutinizes him someday. The Singularity is too important to let it be run by someone with questionable ethics.
Can someone knowledgeable tell me what happens if you blow it up?
License plates are incredibly insecure. They are a short, easy to automatically recognize ID that is expensive to change, and it is a crime to drive while they are covered.
> I'm personally dubious about the specific claims you made about revenue, but that's hard to find info on, and not the core issue. The core issue was that they were obligated (not just, like, promising) to direct all of their actions towards the public good, and they're abandoning that to instead profit a few shareholders, taking the fruit of their financial and social status with them. They've been making some money for some investors (or losses...), but the non-profit was, legally speaking, only allowed to permit that as a means to an end.

Look at your OpenAI invoices. They're paid to OpenAI LLC, not OpenAI Inc. I can't find confirmation on openai.com what the exact relationship between OpenAI Global LLC and OpenAI LLC is but the former is on their "Our Structure" page and the latter is in their data processing addendum so it's probably the subsidiary in charge of operating the services while Global does training and licenses it downstream. OpenAI Global was the one that made that big $10 billion deal with Microsoft

That obligation is why they had to spin off a for-profit corporation. Courts are very strict in their interpretation of what "unrelated business income" is and the for-profit LLC protects the non-profit's tax exempt status.

> "why does it feel unfair for a non-profit entity to gift its assets to a for-profit"

What assets were gifted, exactly? They created the for-profit shortly after GPT2 (in 2019) and as far as I can tell that's the organization that has developed the IP that's actually making money now.

I honestly don't understand how this isn't in the interest of the nonprofit's mission. It's currently a useless appendage and will never have any real power or resources until either OpenAI is in the black and sending profit up to it, or they can sell OpenAI shares. I don't think the charity has any more claim over GPT4 than Google does, having invented transformers.

If this next round of funding goes through at $100-150 billion valuation, OpenAI Inc will probably be (on paper at least) the second wealthiest charity on the planet after the Novo Nordisk Foundation. This restructuring opens the way for the nonprofit to sell its shares and it's going to be a hell of a lot of money to dedicate towards their mission - instead of watching its subsidiary burn billions of dollars with no end in sight.
Software maintenance is a finite resource too.
Anyone going to a coffee shoppe and using a public wifi is exposing CUPS and can be exploited. Simple minded dismissal doesn't help anyone.
I'm willing to pair up with fundamentalist christians to derail this with the argument that he/this is satan/the end of the world.
Maybe I'm being simplistic of overly optimistic - but I would think that there would be a massive opportunity for collaboration with fluid dynamics to simulate and 'fast-forward' the weather to see likely impacts.

It might not be correct the first time, but as we map the changes from prediction against the reality, we could adjust for factors that we hadn't considered.

It seems to me that we shouldn't be too far from accurate weather prediction and perhaps with huge amount of data capture having a digital twin of the planet in which we have enough confidence in to model potential climate impacts of policies, products could allow us to have robust discussions around where we're headed and what paths we could take to adapt or overcome the impacts we're already facing.
Amazing! Hopefully the effects are sustained over the long term and can be replicated.

The potential of the stem cell space is incredible. Another interesting development is patients "cured" of HIV following stem cell transplants to treat leukaemia - which has no direct clinical implications given the significant risk of stem cell transplant but does inspire hope for the future [1].

This is a common communication problem between Americans and Europeans where we're using the same word to mean two different types of organization. In the US you should replace "union" with "cartel, likely criminal" eg the boilermakers

"A federal grand jury in Kansas returned an indictment yesterday charging seven defendants, including five current and former high-level officers of the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders, Blacksmith, Forgers and Helpers (Boilermakers Union) for their alleged roles in a 15-year, $20 million embezzlement scheme."

They build and design everything in a way that ensures a 99% chance that after successful launch and deployment it will last for the mission duration in a harsh and still somewhat unfamiliar environment. That happens to translate into a very high chance that it will still work after twice the mission duration, or ten times the mission duration.

Part of this is cultural, part of it is political: nobody wants a failed mission, it's better for the image of the agency and the involved politician to spend a bit more money and underestimate the lifetime. Higher chance of success, and nobody complains if the mission can be extended afterwards.
It solves a problem that can be solved better by good habits and a solid understanding of git.

> What is wrong with simply pushing a "Fix linting issues" in a new commit?

Everything.

1. git blame is obfuscated. "Fix lint" is not helpful or relevant. Tell me what actually changed.

2. git log is noisy. More stuff is harder to read than less stuff, and you're making me read more stuff.

3. git bisect is difficult. Interspersed broken commits requires more time to sift through. (Lint is a poor example, say it's "fix server config")

4. git cherry-pick is tedious. When you copy the dev change to a release branch (let's say you maintain 1.x, 2.x, etc), you must include errata.
Part of what's so weird about the communication from Matt here is that WordPress.org is not getting sued by anyone—indeed, as far as I can tell WP Engine isn't suing anyone.

All that happened is that WP Engine sent a cease and desist letter to Automattic. WordPress.org misrepresenting the situation is not a good look.
Part of the value proposition of Wordpress is that it doesn't depend on a single developer or team having decades of deep knowledge of a system like Umbraco; any number of contractors can be parachuted in, at least in theory, to take over a site design if the content is in Wordpress. I would venture to say that many companies opting for Wordpress know that they don't have a culture that can retain devs with decades of experience, and value the popularity of a platform like Wordpress... even if the assumptions it's based on, in regards to rendering Images and Words in specific ways, are far from ideal and indeed introduce varying degrees of inner turbulence.

Ah sorry I misread your comment
Life is not a 'zero sum game'. Just because someone benefits from something does not mean someone else is exploited or oppressed.

Many in the anti-capitalist crowd have the mindset that wealth is not created, but just spread around. If someone gets rich, it must mean others got poorer. If that were true then everyone would be getting poorer as the population grows (finite resources spread ever thinner within a growing society).
Scaling is a built in feature of X for over 20 years intended for this use case no bandaids of any sort or awareness by the applications of differing DPI.

From the perspective of apps there is only one DPI with all scaling down handled by X at a layer below the apps level. There really aren't any lodpi apps on a modern X system only Wayland has issues scaling X apps correctly. Gtk Apps not updated this decade can handle scaling up by integer factors and because X scales the lower dpi monitor down to the appropriate size the app doesn't need to handle anything else.

Its very odd for folks to argue that my mixed DPI system using only basic boring old xorg.conf somehow doesn't exist. I mean would you like to come to my apartment and open a few different apps?

Its in a way ironic that between pure X, pure Wayland, and Wayland + xwayland only the last can't handle mixed DPI.

This was so charming. I wish my parents had more recorded content of us, but it was a rare day that someone would get out the camcorder, and even rarer that the files would get transposed anywhere. But I do think there are some really old hard drives (anywhere from 10G to 40G) sitting somewhere in a garage, full of JPEGs of us.
As you know, that has no benefit for any dependencies you have in play.
This argument always falls flat because those that claim state-sanctioned killing of innocent citizens is a necessary tragedy, never seem to say that they’d be willing to be murdered themselves in that scenario. It’s more like “Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.”

Brings back great memories and (more or less) where I learned both Tcl & SQL... Back in the mid-90's this is the stack and software I was playing with, though admittedly I was using the ArsDigita Community System proper rather than OpenACS (and back when ArsDigita was a thing).

Funny thing is I remember taking some free classes sponsored and taught by ArsDigita in an office they had in Pasadena, CA (or was it Glendale....???) they weren't too deep or long, but nice introductory stuff.
Even when you're in a major international market like the United States it's frequently the case that books are nearly unobtainable, especially if they're older or limited printings of specialist material. Sometimes I'll get recommended an old SF book or a particular reference manual and it turns out that it had one run in 1985 and there are four copies available on the used market at prices between three hundred and three thousand dollars. Tons of works are one minor complication, like living in the southern hemisphere or not being rich, away from being effectively non-existent.
That's just not feasible and you know it. That just means companies like Google and OpenAI (with billions of dollars from companies like MS and Apple) will monopolize AI. This isn't better for everybody else. It just means we're subject to the whims of these companies.

You're advocating for destroying all AI or ensuring a monopoly by corporations. Whose side are you actually on?

Now, with eye on potential improvements, I can revisit this idea from the perspective of I/O operations.

For such an interesting topic, the many of the leading examples seemed weak. The racial segregation one seemed a bit strange to me too (is racism really the only reason people can think of? If an area is undergoing radical demographic shifts then there is going to be a lot going on), the business one seemed vague and the Independence one is underexplored.

It is an important topic but I wouldn't recommend reading this article on it. It seems to be a just-so story situation without much meat on the bone.
I don't think we need more billionaires giving their money away. I think they and their companies need to pay tax properly so we can vote on how it's spent.
I think it is the case here, and I hope Elon Musk persists in his lawsuits about this. As a large donor to the nonprofit in its early days he’s one of the people with the strongest standing to sue / strongest claim for damages.

Obviously Elon is mostly doing this suit as a way to benefit Grok AI but honestly I don’t mind that; competitors are supposed to keep each other in check, and this is a good and proper way for companies to provide checks & balances to each others’ power and it’s one reason why monopolies are bad is the absence of competitor-enforced accountability.

Given the scope of the topic it appealed in 2016, parking tickets in two specific cities, I can see such a petty case like that be automated. The expansion in 2017 to seeking refuge seems like it'd be a bigger hurdle. But I wouldn't be surprised if that process can be automated a lot as well.

Seems like the killing blow here was claiming it can outright replace legal advice. Wonder how much that lie made compared to the settlement.
