It's a tragedy that so many websites insist on having the ability to run random downloaded code on our systems to do basic things like displaying simple text and images. Things browsers are capable of with nothing but HTML. Google refuses to even show search results, a bunch of literal hyperlinks, without javascript being enabled.
I don't think chatbots are the point of generative UI at all. The point is to provide a dynamic UI mainly as an alternative to chatting.

The challenge is doing that quickly and reliably. It's easy to get in a situation where the user has to wait 30 seconds for a UI to fail to render properly.

I would look into Groq, Cerebras, and the experiments in generating games frame-by-frame (as an interesting research direction).
The issue is their phrasing or presentation is that it was not direct. It was somewhat evasive. Why couldn’t they give a straight answer and tamp down the conspiracy theories at once?
His post was about taking action against the monopolies / anticompetitive big tech companies, which he correctly noted is something Trump is more likely to tackle. Action against big tech creates more room for smaller companies that are in competition with the big ones, like Proton. This seems to me to be politically neutral since it is about what’s right for their business.

> It looks like the majority of voting Americans don't care about anything as long as they get to own the other side.

I think that's overstating the case. There's a political duopoly, both parties are obviously, blatantly corrupt, and many voters on both sides plug their noses and choose what they believe to be the lesser evil. They might or might not be empirically wrong in their beliefs, but don't mistake voting for enthusiasm.

And "the majority" of voting Americans is technically 49.8%. With 63.9% turnout, that's only 31.8% of eligible voters.
If anything is going to put capabilities into the programmer ecosystem, I think it's this problem.

The neat thing about this particular problem is that you can do some really coarse things and get some immediate benefit. Capabilities in their original form, and perhaps their truest form, carry down the call stack, so that code can do things like "restrict everything that I call can only append to files in this specific subtree" in the most sophisticated implementations. But you could do something more coarse with libraries and just do things like "These libraries can not access the network", and get big wins on some simple assertions. If you're a library for turning jpegs into their pixels, you don't need network access, and with only a bit more work, you shouldn't even need filesystem access (get passed in files if you need them, but no ability to spontaneously create files).

This would not be a complete solution, or perhaps even an adequate solution, but it would be a great bang-for-the-buck solution, and a great way to step into that world and immediately get benefits without requiring the entire world to immediately rewrite everything to use granular capabilities everywhere.

> You replace it with literally any chat application made in the last 30 years.

And that's how you lose me. Async communication is best for 99% of the time. Sending me an email invite to a meeting covers the 1% where synchronous is better. I'm not using an instant-interruption (chat) service, and I don't get meeting invites any other way than email.

Upon further reflection, a world without email would be nice and quiet, for me at least. Maybe that's not so bad.
One gotcha that annoys me when do this... The file still needs to end in .py which I generally don't like for the bins and utilities in my path. Everyone using these shebangs either doesn't hit this or never mentions it. Entirely a stylistic personal preference but still makes me a sad lady.
Dario Amodei says software engineering is fully automated by 2027. You might have the 0.01% engineer left over, but that's it, the job is finished.

I think people need to start considering strongly what kind of career they can re-skill to.

Most people grasp the reasonableness standard for running a disease lab: you were negligent if the diseases break containment, because lab standards should be in place to prevent that obvious risk.

Under the wet market scenario, it's not instinctively clear to me what was unreasonable about the practices of the vendors at the market. Does selling bats more likely than not result in spreading disease? Or selling bats in proximity to pangolins? It seems like the vendors were doing the same thing vendors have done for millennia, not doing something unusually or obviously substandard.
> less concerned not unconcerned

Giving a totalitarian regime access to the device that more-or-less holds your entire life and acts as a perfect surveillance portal to your every move decidedly falls more on the unconcerned side of the scale.

Unless, of course, they didn't make a particularly "reasoned" determination like you said.

Let's keep the ad hominem to a bare minimum.
Agreed on the "no AI messaging". And keep it incredibly short. Like 140 characters short. The messages that stand out look a lot more like tweets than they do cover letters.

AI messages are always 500 words of rehashing the JD, so your goal is to not look like that.
Oh hi!! Congratulations on ICLR!!! min_p = 0.1 and temp = 1.5 is my default goto settings!!
I think the whole problem with externalities is that even if everyone gains a private benefit from their choice, you can all be worse off due to the externalities.

To take your example, if you have a society of 30 people, each of whom drives, and gains +20 utility for driving, but -1 for each other car on the road, you get a net utility of -9 per person. But if any individual decides not to drive, their utility drops to -29, even as they provide a total benefit of +29 utility to everyone else by choosing not to drive.

It's obviously a lot more complicated than that. You have local externalities (noise, particulate pollution, health issues due to a more sedentary lifestyle, deaths and injuries due to accidents) and global ones (GHG emissions). Using public transport also subjects people to some negative externalities, if crime isn't controlled enough, or if people are noise. And you don't want a place that makes driving hard, but also has crappy public transit -- though usually, crappy public transit is a symptom of car-centric design, in my opinion.

But I think on balance, places where driving is discouraged in favor of other modes of transport are better off, and especially, a world where private automobiles are rarely used is better than a world where most everyone drives everywhere.
Announce what to whom? To the hundreds of millions of users out there that don't even know what a browser is, let alone why it's now talking to them about something called a "site isolation framework"?

> On March 8th, after an independent investigation into his sudden firing, OpenAI reinstated Altman as a member of the board, along with three other additions.

> The removal was caused by concerns about his handling of artificial intelligence safety, and allegations of abusive behavior.

Something happened at OpenAI when it became a for-profit company.

The models were build with public data because it was for scientific research (and allowed legally to do so). All changed when they got the dollar sign eyes. Since then they are just another company trying to hype the market instead of building better products. The CEO leaving and coming back was just part of the turmoil. If he has abusive behavior that is the best way to lose talent and reduce the output of the talent left in favor of marketing and hype.

Exactly! The system is flawed right now because it’s automated on both sides, for often the wrong reasons
Why? Denmark is part of the EU as is France. If Denmark asks France to send troops that is within a friendly cooperation.
"No tax dollars behind it" is directionally true since it wasn't built by one of the Primes, but not literally true. As is the wont of every company these days, they've extracted tens/hundreds of millions in taxpayer funds..

Interesting to me that 'working with AI' is using OpenAI's API.

Thats really working with someone elses AI, no?

FWIW I have used it quite a bit, but its not really the same thing as developing AI

(nevermind my usual rant that we shouldn't call any of this AI, but I digress)
It's not unreasonable to set a different header value for the login page only, where it should be safe because no external user data is being rendered.
I'm aware of this package for getting other utilities but:

1. I'm worried about this conflicting/causing other programs to fail if I set it on PATH.
2. This probably doesn't fix the shebang parsing issue I mentioned since it's an OS thing. Let me know if that's not the case.
Yeah it sucks, but what can you do when you have titanic amoral agents stomping through society? You gotta speak their language. Maybe scale the penalty with the size of the company.
You may know this, but they introduced a feautre that lets you use Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+L in order to trigger auto-fill. I have disabled autofill on pageload but LOVE this shortcut key.
I'm skeptical. Trans-Pacific would be interesting for some because that's a long time in a plane even with lie-flat seating. But then you need a lot of range because once you have to refuel you've cut into your time advantage.

NYC to London or Paris? Sure.

But now you still need to find people willing and able to spend $5K+ each way. I'd like to do it but realistically I'm not going to.
Good luck trying to get Google or Microsoft to throw their paying enterprise users under the bus in the interest of slightly safer sandboxing defaults.

At my org this is a crazy problem. Before I arrived, people would throw all kinds of compute at problems. They still do. When you've got AWS over there ready to gobble up whatever tasks you've got, and the org is willing to pay, things get really sloppy.

It's also a science-based organization like OpenAI. Very intelligent people, but they aren't programmers first.

My understanding was that, even for BA, the Concord was profitable on a cash accounting basis (as in, the tickets more than covered the cost of fuel, salaries, etc.) but not when accounting for a) the depreciation costs of the plane, which were much higher than for an ordinary Boeing or Airbus passenger jet since it was a one-off limited run and there were few spare parts and b) as you said, training new people to fly it, since it was an antiquated plane without a glass cockpit and the skills did not transfer to other planes. That's why it got harder and harder to justify over time until it was shuttered after the fatal crash during the general post-9/11 aviation downturn.
Probably not, and for sure the company is not expecting to be more efficient than subsonic.
When running inference workloads via something like llama.cpp, only 1 GPU is ever used at a time, so you would have 1 active GPU and 4 idle GPUs. That should make the power usage less insane in practice than you expect.
Indeed, that's my point. It is statistically unlikely to do well enough in business to get to 1 MM compared to working for a living.
I'm mostly just spitballing un-implementable ideas. At the end of the day, the HN "Who's Hiring" tradition relies on people acting in good faith, which cannot be assumed anymore. There is nothing to stop a "hiring" company from lying about every last thing in their job ad.

Thus is the might of the “Industrial” part of the Military-industrial Complex, of which Boeing is a significant part and which Concorde was not.
You seem to be missing the collective action aspect. You’re saying the equivalent of “it doesn’t matter if I dump my car oil in the river, because it’s a negligible impact on the environment.”

It can be marginal at the individual level but very important if it scales to the societal level.
I'm not making any analogies to the capabilities of previous technology. I believe it's going to seriously shake things up. I'm saying that the correct response to seeing such power on the horizon is to prepare society to harness it, so that as many benefit from it as possible, rather than be destroyed by it. There is no evidence that people are capable of stopping the technology train, it has never happened.

I am saying that if you worry about the dangers of AI, the rational course of action is to spend your efforts orienting society to have the best chance of benefiting from it, rather than spending your effort trying to prevent its development.
I've been your position before and although I can't say I'm a successful entrepreneur, I can share lessons that helped me escape "analysis paralysis":

1. Fear. This is was a huge inhibitor of action. I was afraid of picking the wrong problem and then spending months-years having nothing to show for it.

2. To overcome the fear, I decided that instead of anchoring on the painpoint, I'll anchor on something else: The user. I chose ML engineers as the market I want to serve (its a terrible market, I advise you pick something else). It's hard to fathom a niche of users out there that don't have some pain they're willing to relieve by paying somebody else. You don't have to anchor on a user. You can anchor on something else, like a mission (eg. democratizing access to startup investing), or an industry (eg. semiconductor manufacturing). When you commit to a center point, now you have the freedom to iterate on ideas freely, knowing that even if an idea doesn't work out, you'll learn useful information you can use in the next iteration.

Does this guarantee that you'll company eventually grow into a unicorn? No, not really. You can end up picking a tiny niche, but in practice, most founders are able to expand the niche or find ways of expanding their market by combining niches.

This is more relevant to software businesses but hopefully some of it is still useful for other types of businesses.
It's not at all uncommon, either in history or modern day. The stats on wealth inequality in the west demonstrate this out pretty clearly.

It's probably more viscerally visible in poorer parts of the world, though trying to compare which is worse, is not very clear. You could argue in the western countries it's easier for someone to become entrenched and cement a position of "top dog" while if you are in a tribe in Africa the position is more fluid and volatile.

I think using the term 'brutally dominant' I invoked images of violence, and maybe something like 'cut-throat' is (ironically) more apt. While you yourself may be in a good and comfortable position, it doesn't negate the reality that people vie for positions of power all over the world every day and have for the entirety of history. We are not just Bonobos living in a forest.
Mac Studio has up to 196 GB of memory.
Not OP, but it's been topping app downloads everywhere. A lot of non-tech people are trying it.

> a Chinese government backed conspiracy to undermine the US AI industry

To me this sounds like describing Lockheed as a US government backed conspiracy to undermine the Tupolev Aerospace Design Bureau. It really stretches the normal connotations of words, and it presupposes that the center of the world is conveniently located very close to the speaker.
Yes, you need to get better at filtering. Yes, it has always been like this. Public job listings have always attracted mostly junk.

The typical good candidate becomes a good candidate through years of experience. The years of a good candidate's experience has exposed them to many people, many people who would love to work with the good candidate again. And so when the good candidate is looking for a new opportunity, or even when they're not looking, there's a bunch of people waiting in the wings, longing for the opportunity to hire them. A good candidate is probably not going to end up trawling job listings. A bad candidate probably is.

Public job listings aren't all bad as they can bring in candidates that you might not have otherwise encountered... and these can be very influential and beneficial hires, but in general, public job listings are for the people who couldn't find a job otherwise. You're looking for a diamond in the rough.

Your company is doing the right thing by pausing the search, it is a very bad use of time. Find people through the founder's and employee's personal networks. A vouched-for candidate in the hand is worth 1,000 applications in the bush. If personal networks aren't an option, the alternative is to do what candidates hate: keep your applications open without the goal to fill a specific role by a specific date but rather to wait for the right candidate to come along.
The whole of the Americas gets screwed at GMT+2. My point is there is no good compromise timezone at all, that's why I think hosting it in one city is a very bad one. The status quo is better than that.

But the status quo sucks too. I love the idea of having multiple cities hosting around the world at the same time.

(There are certain complication with a TSV that, instead, a tarball of orig/comment_id.txt and redact/comment_id.txt files would be more likely to provide a rapid response; not the least of which because it doesn’t require any CSV or database software and because they can trivially export the same comment IDs and review diffs using any stock Unix-ish system.)

Faking It: Deepfake Porn Site's Link to Tech Companies
a (tile-placing) guy who was rebuilding my bathrooms, told this story:

when he was greener, he happened to work with some old fart... who managed to work 10x faster than others, with this trick: put all the tiles on the wall with a diluted cement-glue very quick, then moving one tile forces most other tiles around to move as well.. so he managed to order all the tiles in very short time.

As i never had the luxury of decent budget, since long time ago i was doing various meta-programming things, then meta-meta-programming.. up to extent of say, 2 people building and managing and enjoying a codebase of 100KLOC (python) + 100KLOC js... ~~30% generated static and unknown %% generated-at-runtime - without too much fuss or overwork.

But it seems that this road has been a dead end... for decades. Less and less people use meta-programming, it needs too deep understanding ; everyone just adds yet-another (2y "senior") junior/wanna-be to copy-paste yet another crud.

So maybe the number of wanna-bees will go down.
Or "senior" would start meaning something.. again.
Or idiotically-numbing-stoopid requirements will stop appearing..

I have to imagine that they expect this. They published how they did it and they published the weights. The only thing they didn't publish was the training data, but that's typical of most open weights models. If they had wanted to win market cap they wouldn't have given away their recipe. They could be benefiting in many other ways.

Not sure what you mean with the false dichotomy... The search is so extremely bad (and I don't remember it being this bad a month ago), that I considered they might have released a bug. It looks like it completely ignores my search query. Of course other explanations are also possible.
