In my very limited understanding, distribution is the key. It’s legal for Apple to distribute Apple binaries. It is not legal for someone else to distribute Apple binaries. Copying a binary from installer to app folder: not distribution Put

Wow I totally missed the “active” part, thanks for pointing that out. Would love to hear from someone with actual DD experience what percentage of time is “active,” and what you have to do to keep that time high?

Hard to ride the line between clear, concise explanation and perfect technical correctness; I thought you picked good tradeoffs in your article.

by ketzo 3y ago
I mean, it's a hero image above a technical article. What percentage of readers even did look at it for more than one second? I thought it was awesome, even though it was pretty obviously AI-generated for the reasons you stated.

Okay, this is either really good satire, or you are wildly overestimating the average startup engineer's knowledge of each of those tools and their configurations

I agree that "it's way too much effort to ever consider running your code on your own servers / EC2 instances" is overblown, and has very much favored cloud providers. But for the specific problem of "I wanna

Okay, but who's taking care of the actual host? I know this is HN and we're all server admin wizards, but there is some effort and maintenance required. This is theoretically even easier than that. Yay for a spectrum of options!

This is why I support a TikTok ban -- we can't discover that. Not with the U.S. justice system and press, anyway, not in any way that matters.

You say it’s a unique place, but here’s the thing: it actually undergirds all of those other services . Telephones/internet/elecricity are quite hard to regularly get without access to the traditional banking system. Possible ,

Serious question: why? Why should we have the inalienable right to exchange goods and services, no matter what the goods and services are? Why is that an important tenet of a prosperous and free society? It hasn’t ever been one, and we’ve d

…you think calling someone “the best in the world” is a) purely factual b) not supportive Uh, what on earth would count as explicitly supportive language?

Okay, keep silent to save your own ass, fine But why would anyone expect 800 people to risk their livelihoods and work without a little serious justification? This was an inevitable reaction.

He was. OpenAI board as of last Thursday was Altman, Sutskever, Brockman, D'Angelo, Macaulay, Toner.

Yeah, but they also didn't elaborate in the slightest about how they were serving the charter with their actions. If they were super-duper worried about how Sam was going to cause a global extinction event with AI, or even just that

It's so nice, actually. Great little effect that fits well with the rest of the page's aesthetic.

The music industry is, indeed, notoriously litigious / negotiation-heavy. Pure speculation: by necessity, Spotify has probably gotten pretty good at those things too. I would bet they've got some pretty heavy hitters in the dealma

> They appear to put a lot of effort into abiding by local regulations in all countries they operate. Aside from registering as a securities exchange/broker/dealer in the U.S., which the SEC clearly believes they are.

I mean, Kraken is not a registered securities exchange. They offer many cryptocurrencies. The SEC has indicated that it considers most, probably all, cryptocurrencies to a be securities. The writing has been on the wall for a while -- Coinb

Pithy response but poor comparison -- Wikipedia's startup costs were in, what, the tens of thousands of dollars? Less? OAI is burning billions in compute/salary to create their thing, and will spend billions more before truly ma

I mean, if MS literally gets: - all the code that created GPT-4 - all the weights for GPT-4 - all the people who created both of those things then, y'know, I like their odds. They have access to the first two already, per their licensi

If Sam Altman runs a for-profit company underneath you, are you ever really "in full control"? I mean, they were literally able to fire him... and they're still not looking like they have control. Quite the opposite. I think

I take your point, but still, I don’t think it’s correct to imply that investors in the for-profit company have no sway or influence over the future of OpenAI. I sure as shit wouldn’t wanna be on Microsoft’s bad side, regardless of my tax

I mean, young people have been dramatically more pro-Palestine since long before social media. Grain of salt and all, but I don’t think it’s a wild claim on its face, especially once you account for the nature of network effects / filt

Honestly? If even a tenth of Sam’s reported connectedness / reality distortion field are true to life… very good odds.

They do have investors in the for-profit subsidiary, including Microsoft and the employees. Check out the diagram in the linked article.
