I agree. There are many python packages that have other dependencies not managed by Python package management. The pain of figuring out what those implicit dependencies are is effe…

I've played around with it a little bit, but not enough to make any judgements on it. Something like devbox could be the sort of thing to make nix-shell accessible enough to see wi…

Cool, that definitely sounds like a welcome improvement.

There is definitely a learning investment in order to write good Nix expressions. But, if you write a good nix shell expression for your project, other devs should be able to jump …

Nix package manager's `nix-shell` is something I wish more people knew about. Nix is gaining some popularity, but people often think of using it has to be a really big commitment, …

I was using Nim for some of last years Advent of Code problems. I was mostly liking the syntax. Was a bit bother by the standard library have a snake case and camel case reference …

It seems hard to imagine a board member that is involved in another tech business not having a conceivable conflict of interests. LLMs are on a course to disrupt pretty much all fo…

> Separately, a person familiar with the matter told The Verge that the board never received a letter about such a breakthrough and that the company’s research progress didn’t play…

So we have sources claiming there is a letter, and another source claiming there is not. Feel like some people would need to start going on the record before anything might reasona…

Where do you see it being rolled back?

If they actually have AGI, then being at the helm of could represent more power than any amount of money could. Money just gives you access to human labour, which would suddenly be…

Sam even recently alluded to something that could have been a reference to this. "Witnessing he veil of ignorance being pulled back" or something like that.

Elon was once "in possession" (influential investor and part of the board) of OpenAI, but it was since taken from him and he is evidently bitter about it.

Depends who gets onto the board. There are probably a lot of forces interested in ousting him now, so he'd need to do an amazing job vetting the new board members. My guess is that…

I was about to say this. Only correct answer.

In my immediate family I have 3 people that have taken multi-year periods away from work for health reasons. Two are mental health related and the other severe arthritis. 2 of thos…

Oh, that's sounds like it could be a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing. I'll remember that for when my little one is a bit older :)

> the letter’s signees include Ilya Sutskever _Big sigh_.

Yeah. I need to take a break from theory crafting on this one. Too many surprises that have made it hard to draw a coherent line.

They are both just data being made hard to read, though. You could pretty much sum up the "risks" of encryption as: you want to read some data that someone else didn't want you to …

I don't really know if he was betrayed because the relationships and communication between Sam and the rest of the board that voted him out isn't exactly public. To use language fe…

> And yet no one is talking about "encryption safety Okay, you are getting me off topic, but this is totally not the case. Hasn't governments been especially interesting in dealing…

Musk fired most of the engineers. I'd be pretty surprised if we see the level of attrition at OpenAI getting within an order of magnitude of that. We are just making predictions, t…

Those are not the only things to research, but I wouldn't assume that capability-base research would stop. I mean, they want to create AI to perform AI alignment, so their road map…

I'm actually pretty impressed that they are sticking to their (non-profit) charter against so much pressure. While this was not a "clean" maneuverer I'm not really in a position to…
