I have a couple friends who did the Math tripos at Cambridge (so a pretty high level!) who work in tech and have unanimously said they have 0% expectations of an LLM doing a millennium problem anytime soon

I think you'll find the most succinct requirements for a program is the code itself - you can add more and more logic to guide GPT to generate something but eventually you're just writing code yourself anyway.

I also recommend https://github.com/bach-sh/bach when you have to use Bash for things long enough it probably shouldn't be!

Thinking about this, can you think of a great hacker who isn't C-level? Look at the most famous programmers of all time, or people who've made the most popular tools like Ruby on Rails, and they're all C-level.

I worked on a large financial transaction system for up to $7B per day in Haskell that used formal methods like Agda, TLA+, etc, with a lot of logic in the type level (i.e. Liquid Haskell), as a test engineer. The entire system was covered

IMO and experience a good product manager is far more important than a good engineer or good scientist Elon Musk’s neuralink is a good example - the work they’re doing there was attacked by academics saying they’d done this years ago and it

I think it makes sense Sign the letter and support Sam so you have a place at Microsoft if OpenAI tanks and have a place at OpenAI if it continues under Sam, or don’t sign and potentially lose your role at OpenAI if Sam stays and lose a

I'd rather work close to AGI - which I do not believe is the case personally - was handled by the adults in the room anyway, than some startup with a bunch of personalities.

Fwiw I've been to Vegas twice this year and it'd still be an eye sore even in that crazy city, imo

I think the only edge cases are for executives of companies, and even then it's pretty limited, but I imagine this could be one of the examples. IANAL though - it's just from what I've seen discussed elsewhere. https:/&

If he was, he signed up to HN at 2! I do think it's funny how the Blockchain Consultants have become AI Consultants though.

I don't like the sphere but to be fair to them, I think it's haptic-heavy movies from what I remember reading! Sort of like a giant IMAX I guess.

Adverts cost $450k a day (according to gaming articles on Xbox's advert in October), they also have 18,600 seats inside the LV Sphere for "immersive experiences".

I actually hate the Sphere. It's such an ugly dystopian future where we have giant orbs blasting adverts into peoples homes/hotel rooms. I'm not a fan of the billboards in NY either but these spheres are on another level, I

Sam is rich, I assume being CEO of one of the worlds largest companies is a far greater award than extra money when you're at the billionaire level, especially at 38. But I do think this is probably non-compete related too.

by eddtries 3y ago
There must be an insane number of non-competes though, to stop that? Especially with the amount of VC funding - that must have been included?

Maybe lunch and a coffee could help?

Maybe Sam thinks OpenAI will be so important he has a shot at CEO of Microsoft in a couple years?

He was president of YC, I think it's fair to say people will think he's got a better set of credentials on a YC forum than some omg-ai-is-dangerous-please-fund-me think tank thinker.

What is the minimum thing that counts as a social interaction, I wonder? Saying hello? Small talk? Coffee? Lunch?

This is why I love HN - info straight from the source. Thanks :)

Yup, Go is absolutely the language for this! And almost every scripting thing you need to do is probably in the standard library, which is helpful.

It's getting far more regulated though, and that's a good thing - big Pharma pushing drugs to doctors is one of the most sickening parts of capitalism.

Fair enough, I googled and used the first reputable source I could find. But sure, including the two other PACs, this is still IMO small change. I thought we were talking hundreds of millions or even billions regarding the NRA.

Yeah, each!

So with regards to FTX these were listed in the same spreadsheet as "Gifts", and there were some, but we're still talking low five figures for the majority of politicians. And it's not like FTX were not willing to spend

That's probably true, there is lobbying in the UK so I assume countries within Europe have similar issues but I don't truly know.

You might be right, but having politicians who are not ideologically pro-affordable healthcare is a really sad state of affairs
