I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact systemd/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, systemd plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather

I don’t see how this is the case? The CEO can absolutely tell the board to shove it. The board can’t micromanage the CEO - they don’t have the levers to do that. So their options are few, and pretty much all nuclear along the lines of firin

Eh, the kind of poaching OpenAI is accused of doing here is not normal recruiting. It is being claimed that they are giving specific instructions to exfiltrate Apple’s proprietary info & trade secrets.

If Silicon Valley had unions, employee stock options would end. And along with it, most of the incentive structure that drives innovation in the valley.

Yes and they got in huge trouble for it. It was a massive scandal. The only reason Apple wasn’t made an example of was because all the other big companies followed suit and did the same thing. It was Steve Jobs that drove this monopolistic

The “The thinking in bonsai” link 404s. This says it is based on Elm. So it has the same clean immutable state structure?

Just as general feedback, I think your experience matches up with more software developers than the GP. Haskell is really obtuse and unreadable for those who are not accustomed to it.

What you are implicitly assuming is that the publication and review system matters for that cancer research. Cancer progress, as I understand, is mostly driven by NIH priorities, which are set by governmental review committees. Published wo

Look into the replication crisis. It has seriously impacted some fields very negatively. Psychology and Alzheimer’s research in particular have been set back decades.

Academics are just as quick to steal ideas. It cuts both ways.

Agree with you here. AFAIK we don't really know what cybersecurity task it was given in that sandbox, but it's not a very large leap to assume part of this task involved hacking. The intention would have been within the sandbox, b

You can go download the smallpox genome. You don't need AI to do that. The problem of creating bioweapons remains that it requires very, very meticulous lab work under careful conditions, and a lot of experimental knowledge that the bi

Clinical depression is a mental disability under California law, and thereby a protected medical condition. The bar that Netflix needs to meet is very, very high. Like, operating deadly machinery endangering others while on ketamine. Short

Bringing a wrongful-termination suit is career-killing, so damages could be as much as his entire expected compensation of his remaining career (including equity grants), x6 for punitive damages.

Yes, IANAL but it seems very much like grounds for an open-and-shut wrongful termination suit, given that they have admitted it up front. They could be taken to the cleaners for this.

The threats are BS, but fyi models have repeatedly shown capability to produce novel things that are NOT in their training set.

The bioweapon thing is absolute movie plot fiction. Go speak to some biologists about this and they'll set you straight. Cyber capabilities go both ways. Better offensive capabilities means better penetration testing by white hat secur

Ehh, more like Starlink was a thing they said they'd do to justify the investment at the time. Just like they said they'd build an assembly line mass producing Falcon 1's for small launch market, or send a Starship full of ar

That’s the point. I’m not being cynical, USAID is self-serving diplomacy. Doesn’t make zeroing out the budget the right call though.

Von Braun used the Nazi war machine to make his rockets. Musk ran DOGE. They’re both political figures by their own choices.

What does that have to do with LLMs hosted by Anthropic. They didn't say the Dept of War couldn't make kill bots. They said no using Claude to make kill decisions. A quadcopter drone running on a Raspberry Pi isn't running
