Re:OpenAI staff threaten to quit unless board resigns on Monday November 20, 2023 @09:09AM (#38348372)
Ilya posted this on Twitter:

"I deeply regret my participation in the board's actions. I never intended to harm OpenAI. I love everything we've built together and I will do everything I can to reunite the company."

Judging by the response I've seen the only thing he's lighting on fire is all the trust he's built up.

They don't. Not anymore anyway. Any sexual content gets filtered and sent to AI Dungeon's own model.

Iridium already offers a positioning service with its satellites.

Interestingly Go will give you a negative 0 if you use strconv.ParseFloat("-0.0", 64) but I can't see any way to get -0.0 from a number literal.
I'm kind of impressed at the mental gymnastics needed to make journalists wanting to hear what powerful people are talking about in a semi-public place into the stasi.
According one of their videos[1] by the time the water has boiled away the reactor will be cool enough that it can be air cooled.

Re:Australia to make Facebook, Google pay for news on Friday July 31, 2020 @06:23AM (#24007286)
So this is just a very roundabout way of subsidizing Australian news media without having to call it that.
Presumably he means they would've happened in the same time period otherwise it's a meaningless statement. On a long enough timescale everyone who died of Covid would've died anyway.
Re:Formal Verification Creates Hacker-Proof Code (2016) on Saturday April 25, 2020 @08:37PM (#22983061)
Doesn't the KRACK vulnerability undermine the idea that formally verified equals perfectly secure?
New York state has been increasing testing pretty rapidly. A few days ago they were at 10,000 a day.
They'll just stop distributing versions through the Mac App store and the Mac App store will become even more irrelevant.
Re:Ask HN: What are weird and/or novel ways to do web UIs? on Thursday October 03, 2019 @04:27PM (#21151797)
I'm fairly certain it was World of Warcraft. Also my AT&T router's UI does this, which probably explains why it's so slow.
As far as I can tell the only logical reason is political. It would be far less popular to force news organizations, which might be influential and local, to delete data than forcing an unpopular foreign corporation to do it.

>The "getting together" is entirely your own supposition.

A not unreasonable one considering two of the three (Hynix and Micron) are convicted price fixers.

VISA should at least be capitalized like in the original title.
Re:Visible signs left after Google Fiber abandons Louisville on Thursday March 14, 2019 @07:18PM (#19394872)
I think people here in Raleigh would hardly notice if Google Fiber pulled out. They only ever offered it in a very small area and AT&T has been offering gigabit to to large parts of the area for several years now.
Re:Canada grounds Boeing 737 Max 8 on Wednesday March 13, 2019 @12:34PM (#19380363)
I don't think it would be so bad if aviation regulators did jump to conclusions by erring on the side of safety.
Re:Digitally preview incoming USPS mail and packages on Tuesday March 05, 2019 @11:43AM (#19311776)
Unless they changed it very recently you can still sign up completely online or have them mail you a PIN. They do still mail you a PIN no matter what so you can at least deactivate it if you didn't set it up.
It managed to get picked up by mainstream outlets like the BBC.
Case in point, I was getting NXDOMAIN for mailarchive.ietf.org until I switched to 8.8.8.8 from my work's DNS.
Those recommendations are ridiculous. It depends on the airport but for my home airport I only budget 45 minutes and usually only need 15.
The section on Lisa Randall seemed unnecessarily personal as well.
>I don’t care how cheap the policy is, I’m assuming they’re charging more than they payout on average.

How would an insurance company stay in business if it were any other way?

Clang (tested with v7) however does issue a warning even with no flags set.
I just signed up and 2 out of the 4 questions could easily have been looked up on Zillow and they're all multiple choice with 4 options. The 2 questions were the year my house was built and the original sale price.

So anyone would've had a 1/16 chance of just guessing it right.

Re:MongoDB's Server Side Public License Is Likely Unenforceable on Thursday October 25, 2018 @04:25PM (#18304272)
>Copyleft is one thing, but this is so invasive and byzantine that it beggars belief that anybody actually thought this license made sense.

It makes complete sense if its purpose is to be so onerous that no one can actually use it without a commercial license.

I'm a millennial and drop means abandon to me except in the context of music.
