I can't wait for Project Unify which just devolves into a brand new p3-mini type naming convention. It's pretty much identical to the o3-mini, except the API is changed just enough to be completely incompatible and it crashes on any query using a word with more than two syllables. Fix coming soon, for 4 years so far.

On the bright side the app now has curved edges!
It's more like doing Linux services the UNIX(TM) way since it's more similar to other UNIX service managers like SMF from Solaris or SRC from AIX in the integration -- NT's service manager requires an active event loop which responds to messages.

As an aside, the reason I don't like systemd is because it's inferior to its UNIX counterparts -- especially SMF -- for system management.
Worse. A small but significant percentage would actually pay ransom for it, just because moving is a pain. No one new would join, though.

> Interestingly all 3 of the above examples maintain strict conditions that their respective holy books must not be translated into the local languages.

This is absolutely not the case for Islam. According to An-Nawawi, Al-Majmu', (Cairo, Matbacat at-'Tadamun n.d.), 380, at least a chapter of the Qur'an was translated to Persian by a companion of the Prophet ﷺ. This would have been forbidden by the Prophet if translating the scripture was haram in principle.

"The book's main thesis is a differentiation between two modes of thought: "System 1" is fast, instinctive and emotional; "System 2" is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. "
Maybe they can get some advice from the AWS instance naming group.

The American firearms/ammo/accessories market is only about 1/3rd the size of the American cosmetics market.

Americans just really like guns - there's no shadowy profit motive here. There's simply not enough profit on the table for that.

R1 seems to be the only of these reasoning models that seem to have had gains in the creative writing side.
All these depend a lot on the app in question.

Native mac apps for example get a whole tabbing system for free so long as they support multiple windows (and most apps that one might want tabs in do). Deep linking is not difficult to implement in native apps and in fact some do.

As far as tying data to devices goes, with the exception of apps built around databases this is usually trivially changed by placing the data in question in a folder synced with SyncThing/iCloud/OneDrive/etc and most importantly gives you the choice, whereas many web apps will happily keep you pent up in their cloud with little or no capability to export full-fidelity data.
At different points in time Spotlight search and Siri have used Bing for internet search. It's not totally clear what the latest version of iOS uses, but it wouldn't surprise me if Bing was still used.

If their models ever fail to keep ahead of the competition in terms of smarts, users are going to ditch them in mass for a competitor that doesn't treat their users like their enemy.
o3 was announced in December. R1 arguably builds off the rumored approach of o1 (LLM + RL) although with major efficiency gains. I'm not a big fan of OpenAI but it's the other way around.

I mean, Vance's first job in VC was becoming a partner at Thiel's Mithril Capital in 2015, then he moved to Revolution LLC which was founded by Steve Case (of AOL fame), then he co-founded a VC firm with a former colleague from Mithril and funding from Peter Thiel.

So I mean, he's not "big tech" in the sense of working with or for the few huge corporations that control what we see and read and how we do it, but he's "big tech" in the way of being highly influenced by Silicon Valley billionaires and their "government just gets in the way, down with regulations and laws so I can get more wealth and power" ethos.

You cannot compare GPT-4o and o*(-mini) because GPT-4o is not a reasoning model.
This reminds me of the recent "service" that somehow front-runs police reports and tries to sell them to car accident victims who are motivated to get their insurance claim going.

That said, I don't think the API is to blame here. You could accomplish the same thing by listening to the FD on a scanner and converting the voice to text.

Typical OpenAI release announcement where it turns out they're _actually_ doing some sort of delayed rollout and despite what the announcement says, no - you can't use o3-mini today.
> It’s surprising that in the US where you have the right to protect your home and privacy even with lethal means, the same measures don’t extend cybernetically.

Americans do have a constitutionally protected right to use cryptography. You don't have the right to force someone else to use it.
Not really. They’re successful because they created one of the most interesting products in human history, not because they have any idea how to brand it.
Vance came from Venture Capital, not big tech. Now that they have a seat st the table, I can see VC folk cannibalizing big tech if there's enough money in it. Who can say no to a court-mandated fire sale of Chrome Inc or Android Inc? They'd ride it all the way to an IPO, before the enterprises collapse without the ad-dollars <-> eyeballs virtuous cycle.
Tighter spreads and higher liquidity is not economically productive? I can see arguments both ways.
I think the thing is that in a huge amount of hiring, we don't know what attribute K is, nor if it is good to be considered favorably during hiring. It is amazing how often we look back and see what we used to evaluate people by 50 years ago was so wrong, but believe that we have it right THIS time.

So, as a people we default back to hiring people who look like us, think like us, and act like us, even if that isn't representative of the larger population, and even if it restricts the population of people who are likely to be perfectly qualified, given the chance. Keep the playing field tilted towards "us", whoever that may be in the given situation.

And it just so happens that with our enlightenment we exclude the people who have always been excluded. A funny coincidence how we keep coming up with that same solution, rather than challenging our own assumptions as lazy mammals.
> quick, intuitive decisions, focuses on what's novel/unknown

Wouldn't it be the exact opposite? That is, novel stimuli requires more extensive processing at higher levels of cognition.
> I wonder if we'll end up with both a 4o and o4...

The perplexing thing is that someone has to have said that, right? It has to have been brought up in some meeting when they were brainstorming names that if you have 4o and o1 with the intention of incrementing o1 you'll eventually end up with an o4.

Where they really went off the rails was not just bailing when they realized they couldn't use o2. In that moment they had the chance to just make o1 a one-off weird name and go down a different path for its final branding.

OpenAI just struggles with names in general, though. ChatGPT was a terrible name picked by engineers for a product that wasn't supposed to become wildly successful, and they haven't really improved at it since.
By default, we do not train on any inputs or outputs from our products for business users, including ChatGPT Team, ChatGPT Enterprise, and the API. We offer API customers a way to opt-in to share data with us, such as by providing feedback in the Playground, which we then use to improve our models. Unless they explicitly opt-in, organizations are opted out of data-sharing by default.

The business bit is confusing, I guess they see the API as a business product, but they do not train on API data.
Reid Hoffman raises $25M to take on cancer with AI
They should be calling it ChatGPT and ChatGPT-mini, with other models hidden behind some sort of advanced mode power user menu. They can roll out major and minor updates by number. The whole point of differentiating between models is to get users to self limit the compute they consume - rate limits make people avoid using the more powerful models, and if they have a bad experience using the less capable models, or if they're frustrated by hopping between versions without some sort of nuanced technical understanding, it's just a bad experience overall.

OpenAI is so scattered they haven't even bothered using their own state of the art AI to come up with a coherent naming convention? C'mon, get your shit together.
The other reply is correct in that I was speaking to a broader concept than just historically recent industrialization, but yes, that certainly accelerated things too.
Not really. Zig's answer to safety is mostly based on runtime panics, and the kernel really, really hates panics.

As such, the only thing left is better ergonomics, and that's not really worth the effort to switch.

Rust isn't being adopted because it's an easier language to code in, and in fact it's being adopted in spite of the fact that it's harder to code in. And that's because to some kernel devs, the promise of better security and fewer vulnerabilities is worth that much.

On the other hand, Zig is great for user-space applications. The stuff to replace GNU's coreutils with.
This has nothing to do with bravery.
datomic (and partially xtdb /former crux) are OLTPish, and use only such "tuples" , essentially it's up to the user to define what constitutes an entity if at all ("row", "object", "document", whatever) - maybe some entity-id and everything linked to it, but maybe other less-identity-related stuff. Which might feel freeing to extent, but as you said, also expects great responsibility/discipline to cobble the proper properties together.
Hold up, you're the one who chose to introduce the topic of censorship just moments ago, why are you suddenly making excuses and running away from answering the easiest[0] question about the thing you wanted to share?

I'll level with you: I'm getting the same vibes as the "2020 election was stolen" folks, where they also kept insisting there was "plenty of evidence" but refused to ever show it. It was literally an article of faith that something incontrovertible was always just +1 hop away and someone else had it somewhere, trust me go ask them instead.

Eventually, when dozens of court cases across the nation finally forces them to "put up or shut up"... they couldn't! It was all fluff like "some guy said a friend of his heard a story that", or "poll workers packed up a box and I don't know what was in it but it must have been uncounted ballots", and "I saw one worker hand something to another and I didn't see it clearly but it must have been a USB stick for some kind of evil."

The DeepSeek episode: separating fact and fiction
"Throughout the last week, DeepSeek’s legend grew, with each new thread on X seemingly competing to explain a new way that DeepSeek’s R1 means the end of the line for OpenAI, Nvidia, Meta, Anthropic, the U.S. AI industry in general, and proves the uselessness of the U.S. chip export controls. That escalated quickly."

[...]

"Dylan Patel of SemiAnalysis, one of the best-informed semiconductor industry analysts, reported back in November 2024 that DeepSeek had 50,000 Nvidia H100’s4 , an export-controlled GPU. And there’s not a lot of mystery about how they got there: Almost a quarter of Nvidia’s revenue is coming from Singapore, and Nvidia Singapore PTE Ltd is headquartered in… Hong Kong5 . The evasion of export controls includes chipmaking equipment."

Equity doesn't mean that though. There are people (like the current president) who certainly have something to gain from selling you that bridge, but no one I know who works in or advocates for "equity" initiatives considers them to advocate for token or diversity hires.

Have you considered that your sources of data may be biased?

Consider, for example that need-based scholarships are perhaps one of the clearest examples of a equitable, but explicitly unequal program. Should they be removed, or perhaps is there some legitimacy to this "equity" thing?
Have never been on Twitter/X and only recently joined Bluesky and also Mastodon.
The overall impression gotten from this news messaging experience is one best described as cacophony.
There is no real quality difference between these platforms, regardless whether they are part of the fediverse or not. In the end it's all just an endless flow of everything and nothing. Truly cacophonic at best.

It is absolutely unconceivable how such social media platforms can be of any informational value for thinking people.
Politicians using such platforms probably just waste precious time of all involved parties including their own.

> That's a sleazy business model but it's not illegal

I feel bad for folks who live in countries without a GDPR equivalent.

The ICO's guidance says "You can rely on legitimate interests for marketing activities if you can show that how you use people’s data is proportionate, has a minimal privacy impact, and people would not be surprised or likely to object"

I refuse to believe people would not be surprised or likely to object to this sort of marketing. It's creepy and invasive, and preying on people who may have lost their possessions or the house they've lived in for decades. I would be completely outraged if I received a visit of this nature after making a call to the _emergency services_. That's completely insane!

Without being able to rely on legitimate interests, there would not be an opportunity for data to be legally shared and processed in this way. None of the other lawful bases would apply, in my view.
Even the full model scores below Claude on livebench so a distilled version will likely be even worse.

Probably a good idea to wait for external benchmarks like Aider, but my guess is it'll be somewhere between DeepSeek V3 and R1 in terms of benchmarks — R1 trades blows with o1-high, and V3 is somewhat lower — but I'd expect o3-mini to be considerably faster. Despite the blog post saying paid users can access o3-mini today, I don't see it as an option yet in their UI... But IIRC when they announced o3-mini in December they claimed it would be similar to 4o in terms of overall latency, and 4o is much faster than V3/R1 currently.
This has happened to me with (I think) every single major model release (llm or image gen) from OpenAI. They just lie in their release announcements which leaves people scrambling on the day of.
Wouldn’t this point have had greater resonance a week or two ago before recent news about entrants in the AI space?
I'm fairly certain it was sarcasm.
Fixing Slipshow's worst flaw using OCaml and a monad
The thing they previewed back in December before the whole Deepseek kerfuffle this week?

Don't get me wrong, I'm laughing at OpenAI just like everyone else, but if they were really copying Deepseek, they'd be releasing a smaller model distilled from Deepseek API responses, and have it be open source to boot. This is neither
...I'm pretty sure they just renamed the key...
I'd believe this in very specific contexts but I can't find any reliable explanation of what those might be. Can you point me to anything worthwhile to read on the topic?

I am fairly certain that consumer and employment pre-dispute arbitration agreements are strongly negative but I haven't learned enough about FINRA/securities arbitration to have a strong opinion.
When asking it about the concept of human rights and the various forms in which it manifests (i.e. demographic equality under the law). I get a mixture of mundane nuance and bizarre answers that Xi Jingping himself could have written. With references to unity and the importance of social harmony over the "freedoms of the few".

This tracks when considering that the model was trained on western model outputs and then tuned post-training to (poorly) align it with Chinese values.

I made no point about the state of most Electron apps. What I mean to say is that rather than pivot to a native toolkit, businesses could prioritize improving their use of Electron. These days most of the UI world is focused on web. Using well-established and widely understood tech brings a lot of benefits.

Not to mention that desktop UI development is just unpleasant. I say this as someone who would really prefer that not to be true, it's just that in my search I've been disappointed. You choose between a number of imperfect "cross-platform" frameworks (and deal with their licensing), or maintain native code for several platforms. Creating custom "widgets" often requires you to start at the drawing API level and have a deep understanding of the framework.

I am keeping an eye on Avalonia, though. The tooling wasn't quite there yet when I tried it.

Bottom line is that management just doesn't want to hear anything negative, ever.

If business is unable to self-regulate, it is the job of government to step in and force them to correct.

Unfortunately for us, government has largely failed in its official capacities and responsibilities, nearly all of them, and so things will continue breaking until loss of life and limb becomes common, where no one can sit on the sidelines any more if they want to survive.

This is what happens when corrupt people are allowed to warp existing systems for personal gain, and cannot be removed except in egregious violations of law.
