Just check levels, the Reddit hive mind is in full effect on this thread. It’s not nearly as bad as they make it out to be.

Can someone high level finally just tell me why they’re doing RTO. I really want to know, is it just a power thing? What bother me is that they went with open space to improve productivity, but we all know that was to cram more people into less space. So why not just reduce costs even more and make employees work at home! Like it’s been so inconsistent I really want an opinion from someone on the inside.

lol why do you think they picked those cities? No snow or ice or much inclement weather other than rain. It is not just scaling horizontally.

If they use the same runners, couldn’t the attacker just wait? The runners would need to be sequestered too

A DSL lib is a subset of “all possible function libs” and there is no such thing as a function library which is a host language primitive by definition. You can’t be a primitive of a language if you’re implemented in a library for that language.

No lol not all libraries are DSLs, we’re talking specifically about libraries which provide functions allowing you to construct a computational graph. These libraries are DSLs, not host language primitives.

It’s a DSL by definition because a function provided by an external library cannot be a language primitive in the host language, or else it wouldn’t need to be an external library! Unless we’re talking about a LISP but we’re not.

He’s saying that PyTorch in essence is a DSL embedded in python which introspects itself to perform automatic differentiation. Libraries can’t normally peek at what ops are performed on variables in a given language, only the compiler/runtime for that language can. In the end it’s semantics - is an overloaded operator a DSL or native language construct? I’d argue it’s a DSL because its definition is in the host language.

Sam just got lucky, look who was in the board that ousted him! A bunch of no-names with no experience managing companies with a valuation over 10k except the quora exec. OpenAI was a backwater before ChatGPT and it absolutely exploded. When that happens some people are in over their heads (as the board clearly was). Sam wasn’t to his credit, but regardless non-technical people in this company could be replaced with any run-of-the-mill startup CEO and still have their current valuation. Sam was saved to save investor perception of stability. He’s Ringo.

How many chips are used for this demo? Do they have dram? I remember the earlier versions did not have dram.

Are they also used for training or just inference?

tbh anyone can build fast hw for a single model, I’d audit their plan for a SW stack before joining. That said their arch is pretty unique so if they’re able to get these speeds it is pretty compelling

MS does not install multiple browsers.. the issue in that trial was special API access and blocking out competitors. There are plenty of competing message apps in the app store

De facto it feels like they own the whole thing tbh

I don’t think it matters if he understands, imo if this is actually true (which we will never know) that’s definitely messed up. Most 13 year olds know that this is wrong.

The more Elon just blatantly lies the more I feel like he’s a grifter. I used to have a ton of respect for him after Lee grew Tesla and SpaceX. I still kind of do but since the Twitter acquisition I’m finding myself asking what is this guy’s problem more often than not

Looks like Satya will have all of the leverage after this. He kind of always did though, but the board has almost entirely been replaced.

I don’t see any point to the non profit umbrella now.

Honestly microsoft needs to figure out how to copy copyable text in all of their apps. For some reason I always end up with the least intuitive paste when copying text from teams/one note/office but this article does at least help with error messages. Not sure why you can’t just copy it like everything else though.

The writing in that book was atrocious, I’d much rather read I, Robot for an all around better and thought provoking experience.

Wow, that looks so much thinner than I imagined. The progression from ten years ago to today is amazing. It’s thinner than my monitor!

Characterizing that as terrifying is a bit hyperbolic. It looks like Europe in the present day. If cars were moving slower it would be much easier to be a pedestrian safely

What are you even talking about, of course it can. If humanoid robots become a viable means of production, a lot of human labor could be replaced. You continue to use the current economic system to allocate.

Corps didn’t delve into that nuance with the switch to open office so I wouldn’t pretend that this is some data driven decision.

Tbh the browser and search wars feel over and we should figure out how we want to handle the future with legislation. I don’t think more choice screens are a good solution (re the cookies choice screen is really annoying). I also don’t have a solution so I guess I’m just complaining?

This stems from modern companies’ obsession with measurable impact. If it can’t be measured it might as well not exist. Unfortunately UX has to become very very bad before the effect is measurable (losing users) and by then it is much too late, especially when the company has near monopoly power. I hope they figure out that they need to make feedback easier to gather so that they can get back to making good products.

I don’t remember where I saw this - but ofc there’s haskell, which is both!

Because there are still a bunch of conspiracy theorists who think the virus and vaccine were made to line the pockets of “secret trillionaires”. I thought this crap would finally go away as the virus subsided but looks like it’s here to stay.

Cant wait for the first llm political scandal where it says something batshit insane to the public.

An idiotic policy is an idiotic policy. If I can deliver work from anywhere why tf does it matter where I am. I love how when it comes to “intangibles” like “collaboration” in person execs are geniuses but when it comes to “intangibles” like open office sucks for employee productivity they conveniently ignore it. The most hilarious part is remote saves even more money on office space!

Comments like this irk me, obviously if the US has a choice here, allow Pakistan to remain non-aligned but democratic or closely aligned and non-democratic, one of these choices is better for advancing US interests. The cable itself barely says anything: “hey if you put friendly people in power we will be friendly”

If the US purely operated on principle I wouldn’t be surprised if we had many more enemies than we do now, politics is about trade offs, it’s not black and white.

Fwiw I don’t think it’s morally right necessarily, but these kinds of decisions happen all the time in diplomacy, it’s really easy to arm chair criticize decisions but getting the alignment of all of these countries against Russia is a difficult problem.
