The requirement comes because you have to go out of your normal flow to make things not repairable. Can you tell me one example on how this would make the life harder for startups? The mandate is to produce schematics which the startup obvi

No I asked the merchant to commit to resend the missing items inside the resolution center and resolved the issue only after the items arrived. The aim is not "profit" but to get the deserved attention and bypass clear stalling ta

Many of those employees will be dissapointed. MS says they extend a contract to each one but how many of those 700 are really needed when MS already have a lot of researchers in that field. Myabe the top 20% will have an assured contract b

I would say this is a better outcome for what remains of OpenAI. a New startup would have created more exodus that Microsoft. Doubt many brilliant researchers would want to be Employee number 945728123 of Microsoft when the market is their

that's because it was never supposed to be a Corporate. It was a non-profit dedicated to AI research in the benefit of All. This is also why all this happened, they trying to stay true to the mission and not turn into a corporate.

Especially since it's seems it's either Sam or Ilya. Now Sam might surely be preferred as CEO, but after the Anthropic Split, I think Ilya is even more crucial to the continuity of OpenAI. Many of the researches joined OpenAI for

And I'm sure Google would jump at the occasion to fund the nonprofit and keep MS out while they develop their own. The funding Goal for the openAI was just 1B. Small price to pay for Google to neuter one of it's competitors exclus

it's not that OpenAI is reponsible, but those board members have burned a lot of bridges with investors with this behaviour. the investor world is not big so self-serving interest would dictate that you at least take their interest in

Could have been only Sam that was under Vote and Greg being forced to step down after he voted in his favour maybe in a second vote later.

What is confusing here is Why would Greg have agreed to the language in the press release (that he would be staying in the company and report to the CEO) only to resign 1 hour later. Surely the press release would not have contained that in

Doesn't justify the hostile language and the urgent last minute timing. (partners were notified just minutes before press release). They didn't wait even 30 min for the market to close causing MSFT to drop billions in that time. A

Yes this is even more surprising. Why would the board annouche he would continue with the company just to have him resign 1 hour later? Clearly the board would not have written that decision without his consent.

The knives out language is very unusual for any CEO dismissal. The urgent timing (they didnt even wait for the closure of markets just 30 min later, causing MSFT to lose billions). Anything less than massive Legal and Financial/regulat

It depends on use case but for example in EU a lot of PII needs to be encrypted for the medical/pharmaceutical Services. Of course health data needs to be encrypted as well as financial data etc.

The downvotes are most probably becasue data structures have nothing to do with the concepts of OOP. the datastructures stand on their own and have been present long before the concept of OO came about. yes you can model them as classes&#x2
