I was thinking of a game like minecraft or similar (essentially, a ~large world with lots of entities updating in a grid of chunks). In that case, you generally have people fairly clustered in different grid tiles, and they're all like

I guess you would have some kind of in memory fd that you would write to and then use with sendfile calls? I'm not sure if you'd run into similar contention on the data structures involved there. I guess it would depend on specifi

Only somewhat related, I've been wondering if you could use zero copy networking with io_uring to send the same bytes over and over. Say you have some data that needs to be send to the different clients (imagine maybe it's a video

I wonder if this would require browsers to allow government certs in place of their own pinned certs (e.g., chrome pins certs for google sites and maybe others I believe, if a non matching cert is used then the connection is rejected).

I read that as requiring a temperature difference of 20,000 at first, quite the difference!

How do you think they make money off you without ads?

It's pretty much an open forum, you can go and read discussions where they've removed CAs. It's more oriented around the individuals than the companies.

I do think there's some risk of self propagation that comes when we start hooking these LLMs up to publicly open APIs, but I'm not too worried yet. And even then, I don't think that would automatically make it any more capabl

I think it's a mix of personal opinions, fear of regulation, and fear of public/corporate backlash. Not to mention, if you're building a chatbot API for someone, no one will use it if customers could accidentally send it into

What? It's my understanding Sam Altman was invited back to talk to the board, and Ilya is still employed there.
762.
by foota 3y ago
I don't think Sam cajoled their way and talked to the employees, as I understand it Ilya talked with the staff and revealed what they claimed were the reasons for the firing.

They've admitted that they think it would be better to destroy open AI than to continue on its path, but how can an organization uphold its goals if it doesn't exist? Imo you have to commit to working within an organization if you

Definitely seems like Helen is emerging as the main leader of the coup, "Ms. Toner disagreed. The board’s mission is to ensure that the company creates artificial intelligence that “benefits all of humanity,” and if the company was des

Personally I'm a fan of brutalist architecture, but maybe it's nostalgia for my university.

Does anyone know what control the investors have over their funds? I've seen mention that it might be cloud credits that they could pull, but I'm not sure I understand how they could do that unless it was part of their contract.
768.
by foota 3y ago
The investors already have no control!
769.
by foota 3y ago
What's confusing is that... open AI wouldn't ever be controlled by those that invested, and the owners (e.g., the board) aren't necessarily profit seeking. At least when you take a minority investment in a normal startup you

Couldn't you just set up a text service to request a one time token? That way you could fall back to SMS, but it wouldn't be required. (e.g., anyone could create a service that someone could use, which would allow them to request

I think the point that it's voluntary means it's a good trade for both sides isn't entirely accurate, at least in the long run. I'd argue it could be that someone is forced into working due to their conditions (e.g., if

I don't think the people that want to move slowly and do research are necessarily working at OpenAI.

Having a rocket explode next to the shuttle might be a bit too much danger though imo.

Naw, there was that cloud of dust I saw, but this was like a black falling object.

Why so long? Will they need to go through another round of FAA approval? Or?

Did anyone else just see something fly down on the stream? About T+8:30. I wonder if it was part of the exploded first stage.

They're not comparing them to those people, they're pointing out that (tech) celebrity endorsements don't mean much.

I mean.. the OpenAI foundation is literally not motivated by profit. I guess the main question here is how was the board chosen, and why didn't Sam much sure they were friendly to them.

by foota 3y ago
Maybe Sam was the ring leader and he just went along with it?
