Legacy is the dumbest reason to work and does not explain the motivation of the vast majority of people that are wealthy.

edit: The vast majority of people with more than $10million are completely unknown so the idea that they care about legacy is stupid.

The title of your referenced video [0] is "The Largest Daily Driver Unboxing!" It was my impression that most reviewers use the term "unboxing" to mean "this is a video of me literally taking the product out of the box and giving you my first impressions on it". Marques himself often has a "Product XYZ Unboxing" video¹, where he gives his initial thoughts on a product, followed by a "Product XYZ Review" video² several days or weeks later.

I'll also note that the video you linked was sponsored by Buick, which he says within the first 20 seconds.

they might raise a valid point. But I don't think enterprise companies will migrate to google cloud, given how products are frequently killed. Now compare that to AWS and Azure. Both AWS and Azure have kept a lot of zombie services running even if they save 1/1000%.
Is the S here referring to Sentient or Specialised?
Looks neat!

A similar tool for this would be VCR (originally built in Ruby, but ported to other languages since): https://vcrpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/. This injects itself into the request pipeline, records the result in a local file which can then also be replayed later in tests. It's a quite nice approach when you want to write tests (or just explore) a highly complicated HTTP API without actually hitting it all the time.
Probably now everyone is starting to realize that Sam Altman really is far worse than Elon and everyone was very late to understand this after the coup that happened nearly a year ago.

Perhaps this is what Mira, Greg and IIya saw in Sam; his true intentions after that coup.

Who said anything about asserting that your code is actually portable?

There are two extremes here, and not being one doesn't mean the other:

1) Writing code with bad coding practices where alignment, endianness, word size, platform assumptions, et cetera, are all baked in unapologetically, saying that doing anything else would incur financial cost

2) Writing code that's as portable as possible, setting up CI and testing on multiple platforms and architectures, and asserting that said code is actually portable

One can simply write code that's as portable as possible and let others test and/or say when there's an issue. That's quite common.

As someone who compiles software on architectures that a good number of people don't even know exist, I think it's absolutely ridiculous to suggest that portability awareness without multi-platform and multi-architecture CI and testing isn't worthwhile.
You can filter by speed, connector type, operator, number of connectors, and ignore chargers that are marked as having issues.
It's not about subsidizing, but about support for projects they deem important. Gnome is just one of many projects. And they have to apply for funding. It's not simply given to some projects.
I'm from germany and use Gnome. So supporting Gnome is a good thing from my point of view.

The punishments against Microsoft were at the time criticised as being too soft. They have received far stronger penalties from much smaller actions since then.

However it was a watershed moment, I believe the verdict was a strong catalyst for education and industry to stop sleep walking with Microsoft, resulting in OSS alternatives taking hold. (Rather than just OSS having Microsoft's boot off its neck.)
Seems to me that any company that existed before "IT departments", especially those that had stellar computing abilities, only adopted modern IT bureaucracy when it was already too late in more ways than one.

Sometimes too late to make a positive contribution, but usually an overworked IT layer from the get-go who can't make any progress at all themselves without everything conforming to an imaginary "best practice" 100%. Where progress toward the achievement of an idyllic IT operation must be tangible before anybody else gets anything they want ever. Those that lament the company that could accomplish way more before computers than afterward, they move on, or age out and retire, and all that's left is those that accept the BS for some reason or another.

Then you get "modern" companies formed after show-stopping IT was already very common, and they perceive the "best practice" as imitating the bigger, more well-established failures, for lack of any truly shining examples.

I was in a small company imitating a big one and the right move for me was to prioritize something simple that anybody could physically do, like running an ethernet wire to an additional location so the same laptop could be utilized from either desk. Requiring no server action or behind-the-scenes effort from any IT employee whatsoever. After IT proved incapable of timely performance the site manager then justified the relatively negligible cost of more cables, which we ran ourselves to a dozen PC's that had no benefit from being on the internet, since they were not "office machines" in any way. Got this little network air-gapped less than a year before IT got hacked and we came out smelling like a rose. After that we could do anything we wanted on the isolated network, IT only procured the hardware and software we wanted and it was not at their company-wide expense, so they came out ahead and our small profit center could absorb the full cost easily.
A billion dollars a launch is definitely an obstacle.

Burnout, which doesn't need scare quotes, very much still applies for the humans involved in building AGI -- in fact, the burnout potential in this case is probably an order of magnitude higher than the already elevated chances when working through the exponential growth phase of a startup at such scale ("delivery apps" etc) since you'd have an additional scientific or societal motivation to ignore bodily limits.

That said, I don't doubt that this particular departure was more the result of company politics, whether a product of the earlier board upheaval, performance related or simply the decision to bring in a new CTO with a different skill set.
They're useful in some situations, but extremely expensive to operate. It's unclear if they'll be profitable in the near future. OpenAI seems to be claiming they need an extra $XXX billion in investment before they can...?

Highly speculative.

Also highly cynical.

Some folks are professional and mature. In the best organisations, the management team sets the highest possible standard, in terms of tone and culture. If done well, this tends to trickle down to all areas of the organization.

Another speculation would be that she's resigning for complicated reasons which are personal. I've had to do the same in my past. The real pro's give the benefit of the doubt.

Having the history of changes is a step, but the important part of that is the why those changes were made. Git can capture this with good commit messages. Do you have any plans to capture that "why"?
Most comments posit that if OpenAI is so close to AGI, why leave and miss that payoff?

It's possible that the competitors to OpenAI have rendered future improvements (yes even to the fabled AGI) less and less profitable to the point that the more profitable thing to do would be capitalize on your current fame and raise capital.

That's how I'm reading this. If the competition can be just as usable as OpenAI's SOA models and free or close to it, the profit starts vanishing in most predictions
I think the nice thing about HTTP for this is different parts of the stack can introduce default headers etc and it's helpful to be able to see the actual request after all that processing's been done.
Hmmm that was an autocorrect I hadn't noticed. Thanks for the correction!

My understanding was that it was on its way for true AR, just with limited display capabilities. e.g., if I only wanted augmented information, monochrome is just fine.

I don't really need to be able to play pong badly to consider it AR.

Why is it so hard to just accept this and be transparent about motives ? It's fair to say 'we were not aligned with Sam, we tried an ouster, didn't pan out so the best thing for us to do is to leave and let Sam pursue his path", which the entirely company has vouched for.

Wow, this guy has been writing the code for card games for 10+ years. And the number of games has certainly grown. I remember when he had only coded about 3 games. No bridge, of course; it is the most complex of card games. The main differences being that bridge uses the whole pack, which create many bidding levels, and that one hand becomes exposed after the bidding, giving greater accuracy to the play.
That's not at all how MetaWare implemented iterator-driven for, though.

As Joe Groff said in the headlined post, MetaWare implemented it by turning the nested body of the for statement into an anonymous nested function, which is called back (through a "full function pointer") from the iterator function whenever there's a "yield()" in that latter.

So there's no "whenever the iterator function returns". It only returns when it has finished. The body of the for statement is called by and returns to the iterator function, which is in its turn called by and returns to the function that the for statement is in.

All of the "saving state to the stack" that happens is just the quite normal mechanics of function calling, with merely some special mechanics to pass around a pointer to the lexically outer function's activation record (which is why a "full function pointer" is not a plain "function pointer") as a hidden parameter so that the (anonymous) lexically inner function knows where the outer one's automatic storage duration variables are.

MetaWare also had non-local goto from within nested functions back out into lexically enclosing scopes, and since the for statement body is a nested function, it's just a question of employing that already available implementation mechanism (which in turn does the same sorts of things as throwing exceptions does, unwinding the stack through the iterator function) for break/continue/return (and of course goto) inside the for body.
I've needed something this from the first days of learning to program. I've been able to recreate this (kinda) with vim panes and tabs in addition to tmux panes and sessions.

I'll keep my code in a left pane in vim, <C-w v> to duplicate the buffer in a new pane and then use tags to goto a definition and if needed to go deeper, do it again. I don't usually kill this unless no longer needed and If i need to go down some other branch, will just <C-w v> then <C-w T> to start that pane in a new tab and do it again. Easily keeping the different contexts in different panes and tabs inside of vim. all managed by <C-w |> and <C-w => to make it easier to read... Tmux panes and sessions for entire project contexts so on and so forth.

Having it graphical looks really really nice and I'd love to have something like this for presentations/debugging over zoom sessions.
I think it's just code switching. Serious announcements warrant a more serious tone.

It would be definitely difficult thing to walk away.

This is just one more in a series of massive red flags around this company, from the insanely convoluted governance scheme, over the board drama, to many executives and key people leaving afterwards. It feels like Sam is doing the cleanup and anyone who opposes him has no place at OpenAI.

This, coming around the time where there are rumors of possible change to the corporate structure to be more friendly to investors, is an interesting timing.

In the old days we'd use tcpdump and wireshark for this, but nowadays everything is encrypted up in the application layer so you need this kind of thing. Or tricky key dumping hacks.
Unlike other tools such as proxies that allow you to trace HTTP requests, httpdbg makes it possible to link the HTTP request to the Python code that initiated it. This is why it is specific to Python and does not work with other languages.
Yeah the GP's point is the board was acting within its purview by dismissing the CEO. The coup was the successful counter-campaign against the board by Altman and the investors.
I'll reiterate a comment I made elsewhere in this thread. With my vision corrected, 4k at 24" (~190ppi) needs subpixel rendering for crisp fonts. I would expect 5k at 27" or 6k at 32" (both around ~215ppi) would be the same, so my only option for comfortable external use with a Mac is really 8k at 32". I know that I am an outlier as I get my vision corrected with glasses/contacts to better than 20/20 (outside that 5%-95% group I guess), but I was perfectly well served by subpixel rendering (and continue to be).

Luckily, Mac is only for work, and it is passable with 32" at 4k, but I can use Linux everywhere else for much nicer fonts. Unluckily, work is 8+h :)
Both are poorly defined.

By all the standards I had growing up, ChatGPT is already AGI. It's almost certainly not as economically transformative as it needs to be to meet OpenAI's stated definition.

OTOH that may be due to limited availability rather than limited quality: if all the 20 USD/month for Plus gets spent on electricity to run the servers, at $0.10/kWh, that's about 274 W average consumption. Scaled up to the world population, that's approximately the entire global electricity supply. Which is kinda why there's also all the stories about AI data centres getting dedicated power plants.
Not really.

I think actually the best use case for LLMs is "explainer".

When combined with RAG, it's fantastic at taking a complex corpus of information and distilling it down into more digestible summaries.
This feels naive, especially given what we now know about Open AI.

Lots of academic authors have decided color is a gimmick (color printing is expensive and not clear how long-lived; grayscale printing kills yellow and light-green lines; then there is colorblindness). Certainly I agree that load-bearing color is to be avoided, and I do so in my own writing.
Ya I don't know why they don't make the specs looks like normal specs. For example the master stroke of the Tesla Model S was to make it look like a normal car. The same with these devices. If they look normal and work differently they will get far more users.
Their reasoning is probably security. They're working under the assumption your app takes untrusted input in some way, maybe over the network. Which isn't a bad assumption, I mean almost all apps do. Very few apps are true self-contained applications, like a calculator.

So then if there happens to be some vulnerabilities in an older Android SDK then your app is susceptible. They could patch back security but that's expensive after a while. Easier to force app makers to update their apps.

I'm still not understanding.

If you're coding something up, why wouldn't you know that piece of code does a HTTP/s request? Based on what you said, it sounds like a scenario where a programmer doesn't know how a request was made. Are there examples of scenarios where that's the case?

Sounds like a bit of a security nightmare where there's code doing arbitrary requests.
