For as "obvious to everyone" as your point is supposed to be, it focuses entirely on what the offer means to OpenAI-P and zero on what it means to OpenAI-NP. The decision is to be made by an OpenAI-NP that can effectively divorce itself from OpenAI-P and in either case will be divorced from control of OpenAI-P. They can either have $40B in OpenAI equity or $97B.

In the scenario where they chose the $40B in OpenAI equity, they are eschewing $97B with which they can achieve their mission. They will be less effective by $57B. They still have no control over OpenAI in this context. They don't have control over OpenAI from the perspective of safety/benefit of humanity. All they have is $40B worth of equity.

Or, they can get $97B and go about completing their mission. In this case, what happens to OpenAI doesn't really matter. They lose control over OpenAI from the perspective of safety/public benefit in both cases, but in this case they get to deploy $97B of capital to their goals. The success of OpenAI-P is irrelevant to OpenAI-NP.

Now, maybe you would claim that there is some kind of existential risk from OpenAI-P being controlled by Elon. But if that's the case, how is Elon uniquely special? How does OpenAI prevent Elon from gaining control of OpenAI anyway when they won't have control to prevent it? How can they be sure Sam Altman is okay to lead when the board already removed him due his duplicity once. To eliminate their control OpenAI-P, they open themselves up to this same risk regardless. They can take that risk with either $40B of equity or $97B of cash.

> "I'll pay you double" isn't the instant checkmate you're suggesting.

This isn't what I suggest at all and I would've expected someone who sees through such complex issues to rationales that are "obvious to everyone" would've been able to see that. This does however pose real problems for OpenAI-P as they try to go private!

Just to be clear, you're explicitly stating that you're fine with the government threatening corporations and individuals over their free speech--because you agree with it.

This is slipping into a dystopian hellscape. Just so you know. The corporations marching lockstep with the politics of the regime of the day is just one of those signs of it.
They have. But drag is drag and the price of fuel is the price of fuel. Drag increasing at higher speed means your fuel usage grows geometrically with speed. Slower is more efficient (to an extent, slower means higher angle-of-attack to maintain lift so your drag will start going up again if you get slow enough). No matter how efficient the engines get drag remains the same and going faster will still cost more. Engine efficiency just goes into reducing operating costs instead of travel times now.
That's fair since it's technically not the federal government, but when I moved from Missouri to Colorado in 2019, I had to provide fingerprints in order to get my Colorado driver's license. And as a layman, I would generally assume that means anyone working for government in any part of this country could generally access that info one way or another.
Hedge funds aren't necessarily about getting max gains - they can be about decorrelating some of your investments (hence the hedge). So maybe buying SPY would have worked , but people with their money in hedge funds probably already have a bunch of investments correlated with SPY.

That doesn’t explain Twitter or the fact that Tesla sells are decreasing and that its market share is declining. Its profits are a nothingburger.

Contrast that with Apple, outside of the US and a few other high income countries that is market share may be neglible. But at least it’s taking most of the profit and by far is the most profitable phone maker

This has always confused me because it seems like it seems like the easiest possible prediction problem. Nearly everyone buys their tickets in advance, often weeks ahead of time.

Why can’t they text you the day before and say “The airport will be quiet/normal/chaotic for your flight tomorrow, so please arrive 1/2/3 hours before takeoff?”
We know. The only reason corporations include them is because they feel like they have to. It means those issues have enough political capital to get the entities with real power to back them. Institutionalizing is the shield for those groups politically, if you go after <group> then you're losing money, votes, and you'll drown in bad press.

You can try to minimize it by calling them pet issues but they affect real people. "Pet issues" from the other side are "today's political whipping boy." Trust me, we would rather not be talking about them either. Maybe the whole DEI thing is a blessing in disguise because it points all the arbitrary rage on an abstract concept rather than specific groups of people. We've always been at war with DEI…

A 12kW solar roof system with two Powerwalls costs less than $75k, with costs continuing to trend downwards, and large government subsidies on top of that.

There's a lot of friction. You won't switch based on one year, which would just leave you chasing last year's lucky winner (who will likely revert to the median next year). It takes a long time to realize that your hedge fund is a loser.

The whole point of a hedge fund is for you to let someone else do the worrying. So the market is decidedly inefficient.

Hedge funds don’t magically take your money any more than Santa Claus takes your money.

Pretty much none of your claims are true, unless those actors desire to be in a hedge fund (same as any place to invest). For example, social security is prevented by law from investing in anything except specially crafted Treasury bonds. Sovereign wealth funds are not “ordinary people’s money.” Union pensions are controlled by unions, and if they’re wise, are spread over many options. Same for college endowments.

It’s not hard to look up the sizes of these various asset categories and see your claims are mathematically impossible. I believe arithmetic over your eyes.

Don’t want one, invest elsewhere.

Sorry, I read the article but didn't notice this excerpt at the bottom.

> So in mid-2024 we returned to showing only public holidays and national observances

I stand corrected.
Thanks for sharing that; now I have something to add to my list of things to play with when I get a chance!
Without paying property tax, the rich can buy up lots of property (and land) and leave it idle, with the express purpose of squeezing everyone else into the remaining land, forcing the rent prices up, which they benefit from. Since there is a finite amount of land in a nation, that ends up being unfair. Assuming the ordinary people pay a tax of some kind, the government is taking that money under the idea that they will use it to benefit the taxpayers and the overall nation. Standing back and doing nothing while the rich exploit everyone else isn't living up to that side of the tax contract. Property taxes impose a cost to the ownership of a property which disincentivizes leaving it empty, which is better for almost everyone else except the property owner.

Do you have another solution to that, or do you not care about that in a dog-eat-dog way?

> "My answer would be the career bureaucrats"

Why is this used as a slur? There's such a thing as a career diplomat, and we'd hope they would learn more about the country they were diplomat-ing in over that career - who can make things happen in the government, how the consulate can get things done, build relationships with people in power. Similar with a career bureaucrat in principle, having a head full of details about which supply chains are reliable and resilient, which people are experts in border issues or international currency issues or state laws vs. federal laws, building relationships with them.

I understand, but I was not the one who introduced Andrew Jackson as a comparator. I see that our friend has provided some of his arguments above. That's good.

I find it hard to compare the two men in question. They will have their similarities, being humans and politicians. But Andrew Jackson lived two hundred years ago. The modern era has seen the USA become a "superpower" with brokering influence (political, financial, military) all around the world.

The current administration appears intent (despite its slogans) on dismantling its own influence in the world... as well as Democracy. Nations and economic zones that considered themselves long-standing allies only a month ago now openly express distrust.
The article seems very one sided in that it only considers the “total addressable compensation size” and nothing about your interest or satisfaction that one gets with the work.

The typical German experience could be described as "every decades your street loses power for two hours at a time" (which comes out to about that average). As you say, it's worse in rural areas and better in urban areas, though maybe less extreme than in Poland. But power interruptions are typically short and highly localized. Nobody would even think of getting a generator in case the power goes out, and outside a server room nobody has an UPS

It's interesting how we've come full circle. Some of the engineers who worked at DEC later worked at PA Semi and Apple after the acquisition, helping develop Apple Silicon. DEC's Alpha workstations running Unix were among the most powerful systems of their time, and now, decades later, Apple Silicon has brought us back to high-performance RISC Unix workstations — just with a different flavor of ARM instead of Alpha.
Reflection is such an insanely useful tool that pretty much all modern languages have it. As usual C++ is 20 years behind language design and brings terrible syntax.

> If OpenAI-NP has a reasonable case to believe that Elon will be a bad steward of the technology and work against their charter (https://openai.com/charter/), they shouldn't sell to him, even if his offer is more than another. Unlike a normal board, the duty-to-shareholder isn't the only duty, a hostile buyout like with twitter doesn't necessarily work

If the OpenAI-NP board sees such existential risk from a change in leadership of OpenAI-P, how can they in good faith eschew control of it? By removing themselves from control, they would see the exact same risk anyhow. Elon could make a tender offer for the private for-profit entity that its board would be bound to accept in its fiduciary duty to shareholders. Plus, they would have to make the case that both Elon is specifically bad AND that he's so bad that it's not worth having $57B more to deploy for their AI goals. What's more, you would have to consider whether or not preventing Elon from controlling OpenAI even prevents whatever risk you see from Elon as he is already building xAI in parallel.

> IDK, Musk's offer is apparently for the nonprofit, not for a partial interest in the not-yet-extant for-profit subsidiary.

You can't buy a non-profit. It's their assets he's trying to buy. If OpenAI-NP values their OpenAI-P claims at $40B then that's what Elon would own according to their own beliefs.
It's because the overhead space is limited. Airlines have spent decades trashing, losing, and delaying checked luggage, so everyone tries to cram everything into the overheads. Since there's never enough room for everyone to do that, higher classes have to board first so they can. It would be nice if first class could at least be at the back so the line didn't completely stall in reverse order, but they also want to get out (the front) first, and you will never convince the other passengers to wait for that.

Efficiency. The written language is extremely inefficient. By running through whole concepts at a time instead of parts of a word the reasoning time will be much more concise.
Regarding legality: According to Commission Regulation EU 2016/631 systems under 800W don't qualify as any of the regulated types of power generating facilities, so any law that would limit their installation must be local.

In practice you need to have a two-way meter installed by the power company and you're good to go.

If you're in New England, it's definitely worth a visit to the Rhode Island Computer Museum in Warwick, RI.

And a bunch of later VAX machines, DECSystems, etc.

I don’t see that changing in the next decade - comp going up inflation adjusted. Enterprise dev comp (where most developers work) has been suprisingly stagnate and even going down inflation adjusted.

Especially with the current oversupply of developers abs remote work. Every job opening gets 600-1000 applications within the first few hours.

I was looking for a job both in 2023 and 2024 and bog standard “full stack developer” jobs with AWS experience was my plan B. It’s a shit show out there and they were offering “senior developers” with those qualifications $150-$165K.

RTT in the UK as a whole is so low, they should put the DC in locations close to generators with surplus capacity.

This is why (in my opinion) IX north of London never took off: the 60ms of extra transit to be in Glasgow or Newcastle is lost in noise. Maybe by now there are LINX outreach arms. I don't know, I'm not in the UK.

HFT aside, I don't think long line RTT to get to DC in the UK matters. Nor for that matter, would the DC being in the Netherlands or Ireland.

Go where the capacity is. Don't go to London and complain about planning restrictions, go where you can.

Around Washington D.C. rural communities have mixed feelings about the DC. They aren't always nice neighbours, if you expected to be in bucolic paradise.
