In the same organization. Therefore, it is insanity at the organization level, even if it might be sane at the individual level.

If it was bound to happen, why was Meta doing it?

I think in larger companies it becomes even more critical for a PM to shield the development team from ad-hoc sales/marketing requests. It's not that anyone is ill intentioned, but everyone tends to think the problem in front of t

There's a few facets to consider: 1. Does code written a particular way? 2. Does it need to be configured? 3. Does it conflict with other tooling? 4. Does it have limitations that are too restrictive? 5. Does it cause bugs/issues

Has there even been a direct conventional war between two nuclear powers before? I expect that nuclear weapons are a deterrent of any war when both sides have them. The problem with disarmament seems to be that imbalances arise, and the pro

You're suggesting that the species jump is likely to have happened in the wet market, but also claiming that there's no clear & obvious way to reduce risk in the future? That's inconsistent, isn't it?

But also leads to people living less stable lives in general. As an employee, your income could go to zero and you may find yourself thrust into being a job seeker at any time.

That doesn't really make logical sense to me. Can you elaborate? If hiring is an irreversible decision for a company, why wouldn't consideration be required prior to any hire?

Perhaps on the previous headsets, but this website makes no mention of them.

My fear about Meta's headsets taking place of my monitor is that one day I will put on the headset to do some work and see a message saying my Meta account has been suspended. If I can just use a different headset that's not the e

The "What's Included" section doesn't mention them. https://www.meta.com/quest/quest-pro/tech-specs/#tech-specs Images & videos on other parts of the website show bare or covered ears.

That's only a single piece of evidence that someone claiming to be a former Twitter exec reached out. Better than nothing, though; thanks for sharing it.

> multiple bits of evidence suggesting that Peiter Zatko had in fact been in touch with Musk's team, in advance of the "whistleblowing" release. What evidence is that?

by jfoster 4y ago
You're probably correct about that, but it still makes me wonder what other stories might not be making it due to similar circumstances.

Subtract Elon Musk from the story. Would Twitter becoming a private company any other way be a front-page worthy story? At $54.2 billion, it's even newsworthy just through the sheer size of the transaction. I'm not sure, but might

I was also wondering this. I don't care too much about one instance, but it makes me wonder what other major tech news HN is failing to select for. It's relevant & a very significant story, so I think of it as a failure of HN&

I think the really interesting side of this could be if it becomes a platform, as Musk touched on at the end of AI Day. If there ends up being an app store as well as hardware add-ons, it brings to mind the original iPhone creating a 3rd pa

I had noticed one of the images in my Google Photos account seemingly not showing up. It was very noticeable because it was one of the "People" images in my Photos account. It's a bit concerning that a photo storage service s

Can you provide an example of an open model as capable as GPT-3? I know there's some "mini-GPT" type models around, but they don't seem nearly as capable.

by jfoster 4y ago
All of your examples are limited in some way, but GPT-3 wouldn't have any meaningful limits. Stable Diffusion: Marks images as AI-generated. (invisible watermark, but still, it's there) Photoshop: Requires time & effort from a

True. The potential of GPT-3 to cause internet mayhem was/is significant. I would argue that the mere act of announcing it was still a catalyst for an eventual GPT-3-like model being released. In revealing it, they established a target

Yeah, I think it might actually be a good thing to have some of the copyright questions settled one way or the other.

Also, based on their demo, this model seems like it might have comprehension well above the level of a typical human. Anyway, it's out there now. No way to turn back.

It seems like OpenAI are finally living up to their name for once with this release? Anything I'm missing? From what I can gather: 1. Includes model weights. I can't find the URL, but they reference them enough and have a CLI tool

Reading between the lines of this, it sounds to me like Getty is preparing a copyright claim against the AI companies: 1. They seem of the opinion that the copyright question is open. 2. Their business stands to lose substantially as a resu
