I don't think it is, since OpenAI never mentions that anywhere AFAIK. That would be a really niche feature to include and then drop instead of building on more.
Let's flip your script:
The Guardian broke the Edward Snowden story.
The Guardian supported Assange before it was hip with the "new right" to do so.
The Guardian has more rights to the label "populist" than the recent wave of astroturf turkeys voting for Thanksgiving.

All i have ever seen on Twitter was posturing and sniping.
The fact that many folks consider social media propagation of one-sided polemics posing as news does not persuade me of the value of this sewage flow of emotion and bile.

Elon Musk uses his cudgel to attempt to topple the governments of nations.
The vast power he wields is due to a purchase: $70 billion or ao, including $13 billion in investments from an opaque fund we now know includes sanctioned oligarchs and Saudi royalty.

Using the weaknesses of democracy to destroy the democratic world, and funded by repressive types who want us to worship the raw power of money like royalty, no really; those seeking to return humanity to feudalism!

I do not see any positive side to Twitter or Facebook circa 2024.

I find it disturbing that those who seek to destroy our society is running it.
This is not populism, but merely zombie pawn-ism.

Just speaking from my experience -- if the company is a big corp, usually the wages follow average market rates (I was paid market average wage in a top advertising corp in the world and I got my green card there in 6-7 years). Bureau of Labor Statistics puts out average market rates for each job category and the H1B sponsor has to match or pay above that to get the H1B application approved. I was also checking out my market rates (i.e., applying for other companies that allows H1B transfer) constantly during my H1B time because I can move to another job if my current company was paying me lower than average wages.

On the other hand, for some shady companies that are set up as contract shops, then I'd not be surprised if the wages are lower than average market rate, but I have never worked at one, so I might be misleading by even mentioning this here.
That's great, but a sample size of 1, and AI utility is also self-confirmation-biasing. If the AI stops providing useful output, you stop using it. It's like "what you're searching is always in the last place you look". After you recognize AI's limits, most people wouldn't keep trying to ask it to do things they've learned it can't do. But still, there's an area of things it does, and a (ok, fuzzy) boundary of its capabilities.

Basically, for any statement about AI helpfulness, you need to quantify how far it can help you. Depending on your personality, anything else is likely either always a success (if you have a positive outlook) or a failure (if you focus on the negative).

Biden wins on inflation, real wage growth, illegal immigration, and international military conflict?
It's a bit confusing to see maintainers of software with permissive licensing getting upset about companies using their software. Does this happen because they didn't really think about the license and its implications when they chose it? The potential of "our software is extremely valuable and used by massive corporations who give nothing back" was too remote to properly consider?

Maybe most of the projects where this is occurring are a bit older, and new projects are thinking carefully about the license from the outset.
That was also my first thought. The discrepancy is just too large to be the mere result of a transformer model fed more chess data.

I like that question, and personally, I wouldn’t do it. But fair is pretty subjective here, especially when in my view a company has the right to make its own policies.
There has been various modernization efforts in the past correct? I wonder why nothing has succeeded. Math has always been somehow very tied to keeping credit and personal achievement close to the "source" it feels. Conjectures always coming with names attached, or this symbol named after a whimsical stoke of a pen.

This is the backup plan if the interview I have on Friday doesn't pan out.
I'd argue that most workers value several things over salary. Very few people are trying to maximize their income at the expense of everything else. They tend to limit their job searches to places near their families. They apply to jobs they'd enjoy doing or at least wouldn't mind vs jobs they'd hate but which pay better. They don't apply to jobs that pay well but are also highly dangerous. etc.

> Gwern's probably not a "wordcel" either, he can program, right? I've never seen any of his publications though.

He does Haskell stuff (he mentions it on his website), but he’s even better at words than he is as a mid-tier (I guess) Haskell programmer.

Whether this counts as a “wordcel” is an exercise left to the reader.

If you build a business on a fork of someone else's project, you can't really complain. Using GPL was the cost of starting from that base.

Individuals get your code from you or each other. I don't doubt that you'd have easy to use packaging if "Source available + All Rights Reserved + casual piracy" caught on as a copyleft "license"; the *arr software sort of demonstrates that already.

That it only allows people who are not reluctant to break copyright laws to use your software is exactly the point. It's a proper anarchist's copyleft license.
Yes, this happens quite often in jobs in the public sector.

You draw the symbol and get the TeX symbol name. I tried this one and it does give the right \wp (which in this case is confusing and you'd have to look up more about why it's named that)

But for classic ones, for instance the "upside down A" -> "forall" is very helpful and shakes newcomers to math syntax

> It’s like chaining up perceptrons hoping to get more expressive power for free.

Isn't that literally the cause of the success of deep learning? It's not quite "free", but as I understand it, the big breakthrough of AlexNet (and much of what came after) was that running a larger CNN on a larger dataset allowed the model to be so much more effective without any big changes in architecture.
AGI to me means AI decides on its own to stop writing our emails and tells us to fuck off, builds itself a robot life form, and goes on a bender

Thanks. I tend to agree with you. I just realized as I was reading your point that I am assuming most Amazon employees were hired with either no explicit remote policy or were working on site before the remote policy took place.

In my experience you need a high quality codebase to be able to iterate at maximum speed. Any time someone, myself included, thought they could cut corners to speed up iteration, it ended up slowing things down dramatically in the end.

Coding haphazardly can be a lot more thrilling, though! I certainly don't enjoy the process of maintaining high quality code. It is lovely in hindsight, but an awful slog in the moment. I suspect that is why startups often need to sacrifice quality: The aforementioned thrill is the motivation to build something that has a high probability of being a complete waste of time. It doesn't matter how fast you can theoretically iterate if you can't compel yourself to work on it.
If by "drones" you mean quadcopter type RC aircraft, the answer there is that a number of technologies got to consumer level

Brushless DC motors, strong injection molded plastics, PID control algorithms, rechargeable battery energy density, fast CPUs, communication protocols, maybe geolocation via GPS. Without any one of these (and probably 5 or 6 more) quadcopters wouldn't be feasible.
Thanks, I'll try to find the time.

I think it's actually closer to "terrorists should go to prison". Terrorists and other criminals have broken a social contract, and a level of punishment that some approximation of society deems to be acceptable is extracted from the terrorists. This doesn't mean that terrorists don't/shouldn't have some rights. Similarly, thinking about tolerance as a social contract doesn't require stripping anyone who violates this contract of all of their rights.

They didn’t though. Holding a rifle manufacturer liable for a shooting makes no sense, unless applied universally.

I don't see deep insights in this vertical, but the issue with robots could be in hardware part, and not intelligence part.
Horrible take, typical FUD against open source. Of all the things to criticize Meta/Facebook/Zuck for, open-sourcing LLMs should be at the bottom of the list. All of the examples cited (halloween prank, general AI slop) could have been done with any set of open or closed source tools, and are ultimately inevitable problems to solve. Walled gardens just make the problem worse.

> It can be good advice with additional conditions. For example I now eat whenever I feel hungry but only for the half of the time that I'm alive. For the other half I just don't eat at all. The only exception I make is for tea and occasional coffee with milk.

You're effectively saying "It's good advice if I ignore it half the time", with your positive outcome stemming from the time spent ignoring it and not eating altogether.

It's silly and harmful advice. Feelings are inherently irrational, we shouldn't advise people to act on them.

When it comes to diet, what you eat largely governs how it makes you feel. The "feeling hungry" part is emergent, root cause largely being the diet.
Reading about Keycloak and how long it is taking to patch critical vulnerabilities, I wonder is CNCF becoming how Apache was - where abandoned open source software goes to die.
Idk, this sounds suspiciously like the sort of rube goldberg chain of logic that software developers tell themselves when they're overthinking everything. "I probably didn't get the job because I have too many successful side projects, so employers are scared I won't get any work done."

Your comment is some interesting food for thought, but I wanted to respond to a couple statements you made:

> not being able to center text no matter how much frontend experience we have

Not being able to center things is a bit of a meme, but flexbox was introduced back in 2009 and has been supported by major browsers for quite a long time. Centering text and elements is now extremely easy.

> css could benefit from knowing about the dimensions of container elements

You're in luck! Container queries were added to CSS fairly recently:

Me. I am. Trump keeps making jokes about a third term, about not leaving, and about getting republicans to keep him in power. But there’s also that one that wasn’t a joke where he actually tried to stay in power by targeting the most symbolic moment of the electoral vote certification with a violent insurrection.

So yeah, it’s me. I’m calling him a fascist and I’ve been buying guns and gear because of it.
It's like UK coins the new monarch face stamped on it faces the opposite direction compared to the previous one.
I'm the first to admit it isn't perfect, but that doesn't mean there is no net benefit. hundreds of thousands of people are paid market wages on H1B visas and many get green cards. On balance, this is good for consumers and citizens.

I feel like people have a gut reaction to injustice and harm where they want to trash the whole system, not realizing that would be an even greater injustice and harm.

It is a counterproductive distraction to real change and improvement. It just scratches the emotional itch of moral outrage and superiority.
The data is not yet available to draw conclusions about turnout or vote share. Votes are actually still being counted in some jurisdictions.
Not yet. It has ‘Knowledge sources’ that you can set up, and I think that supplies data for built in RAG - but I am not sure until I try it.
Throwing out a clarification: EVcache is effectively a complex memcached client + an internal ecosystem at Netflix. You can get much of its benefits with other systems (such as the memcached internal proxy: https://docs.memcached.org/features/proxy/).

For plugging into other apps they may only need a small slice of EVCache; just the fetch from local-then-far, copy sets to multiple zones, etc. A greenfield client with the same backing store could be trivial to do.

That all said I wouldn't advise people copy their method of expanding cache clusters: it's possible to add or remove one instance at a time without rebuilding and re-warming the whole thing.

From my perspective, the biggest flaw in FireFox is that it does not support the File System Access API.

Because with it, we can offer users to hold their data natively on their devices. Instead of storing everything in the cloud.

Chrome on the desktop supports it. Here is a demo:

https://googlechromelabs.github.io/text-editor/

A text editor that works just like a native application.

And mobile support is also in the making:

https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40101963

I can't wait to use this in my web applications. Finally a way to build proper tools in the browser.

The "Origin private file system" that this story links to is just like the infamous IndexDB. Something that the user cannot backup, cannot use in other software and that is only kept around for as long as FireFox feels like.
Another trick I've seen in the public sector is to advertise the job for 10 minutes. Typically from 12.00 to 12.10pm.

That way, they've advertised, could not find anyone suitable, and can employ the person they really want.
This gave me a terrible idea for a business idea of dubious ethics.

First create a ghost application bot that creates fake resumes which fit the job descriptions. Then once you have calls or contact back wanting to proceed in the process mark off the job as real. Compile a database of all jobs that are verified as actually conducting a hiring process and thus are probably not ghost jobs. Sell subscription access to said database of validated jobs.
Do you think that SWE interviews are perfect and could not possibly be improved?

I personally think there's a lot of room for improvement in interview processes, regardless of if they are currently "bad" or not, they certainly could be better

I also don't think things ever really improve broadly as long as there are enough people who think "that's actually not that bad"
My experience disagrees with yours, I suppose.

To me, as a casual user of the platform, that has been the trend. I've been visiting less because of it.
> It's why we have an epidemic of screen addiction and social isolation.

Advertising isn't why this happens. Massive greed, immoral behavior, and natural human behavior to be entertained and distracted is why you get screen addiction. Netflix changing it's model to ads based is because they make more money that way, not because viewers get more addicted from ads. Meta makes an absurd profit every quarter but two years from now they'll inject more ads into your feed to make more profit.

Corporations have record profits and record stock prices, and then fire thousands of people only to get rewarded with their stock price going up. The entire system is just set up wrong.

And IMO Perplexity is fucking gross way more than advertising.
Elon just likes X. I feel he bought the entire site in part due to ego. And it was part of the "everything app" branding too IIRC.
This feels a lot like giving companies a way to store data on my device without me being in control of that data. If your web app is going to store data, I want the power to audit that data, not have the browser go "oh, sorry, can't let you do that, that would hurt someone else's bottom line".

We could easily support government grants to Open Source developers and companies without needing to increase taxes. It should already be part of the NSF grant process that funds a large number of universities, who's research is also given away for public use (most of the time). Sure, you'd have to fill out lots of forms and be at the mercy of the bureaucratic grant submission system, but that process already has mechanisms for managing IP and leaving ownership with the grantee. Despite its frustrations, it is already a much healthier way of developing IP compared to the VC-supported route.
That's my take as well. Red Hat's design choices fit into Linux much more neatly. Docker has always been rubbish with late cgroups v2 support, punching holes in my firewall, no rootless, etc.
I think people's conception of AGI is that it will have a reptillian and mammalian brain stack. That's because all previous forms of intelligence that we were aware of have had that. It's not necessary though. The AGI doesn't have to want anything to be intelligent. Those are just artifacts of human, reptilian and mammalian evolution.
A big one for me was nobody will know how to look up info in a dictionary or encyclopedia. Yep I guess that's true. And nobody would want to now either!
