I wouldn't bet against Sam Altman personally, but that's very different from betting on OpenAI.

This is Sam Altman we're talking about, a man with a long track record of conning people. I don't think any benefit of the doubt is warranted here - I'm going to assume guilty unless and until clearly proven innocent becaus

While this is all true, they were limited to targeting smaller, less economically developed nations, where a private army was sufficient. Today, though, one can reasonably argue that megacorps have managed to successfully capture the most p

I don't recall "everyone" rooting for him when OpenAI board tried to kick him out. Not even on HN.

by int_19h 1y ago
I mean, if Sam Altman wants to run OpenAI as individual proprietorship, without the limited liability that corporate shield gives, he's totally welcome to do so, and that would require far less paperwork.

The sharp edges in Go are when you try to use the built-in mechanisms that are supposed to replace data sharing - e.g. channels - only to discover the numerous footguns that abound there. And then there's patently stupid design decisio

Python doesn't even have frozendicts out of the box. If you want immutability as a lynchpin, you need to look at a different language. This one is very much not designed for it.

Do you mean to say that mutating globals is not commonly used? Because literally every import, class definition, or function definition that you make at top-level is a global. Now some people do in fact do all those things inside a functi

It depends on how you define "corruption". You can't get a torn read or write, or mess up a collection to the point where attempts to use it will segfault, sure. You can still end up with corrupt data in a sense of not uphold

A library written in another language would have a Python extension module wrapping it, which would still hold the GIL for the duration of the native call (it can be released, but this is opt-in not opt-out), so that is usually not the issu

In C, the library in question would already be many decades old and with minimal churn, and thus those memory corruption bugs would have been discovered long ago. There are advantages to building on mature foundations, even if techniques us

I wouldn't say that Windows/ARM is that obscure anymore, not when there are quite a few laptops on the market with it. But, by the same token, it's not an exotic dev platform. The compilers are there, the libraries already ha

If the same code was all aggregated in a single large crate, it would still be compiled as a single unit, so I don't see how it would affect compilation times. And, of course, that is orthogonal to security issues. That pip/npm&#x

I mean, these are literally all special values that are explicitly called out in all the relevant standards (both ISO C and POSIX). Anyone who is competent and is writing tests for libc would surely cover that.

Natural language is too ambiguous for this, which makes it impossible to automatically verify What you need is indeed spec-driven development, but specs need to be written in some kind of language that allows for more formal verification. S
