I don't believe there is a way to lock it. But if you really want to clear the comments, you can use the API to recurse and delete all the comments--this is a quick Nodejs snip from Bing Chat with Octokit:

Ilya himself was a member of the board that voted to fire Altman. I don't know if he's lying to his teeth in these comments, making up an alibi, or is genuinely trying to convince people was acting as a rubber stamp and doesn't know anything.
The best way to mitigate attacks like this is simple: don't hold the data in the first place. Beyond that, encrypting and limiting who has access to what, and
logging who opens what when makes it much harder for attacks like these to go under the radar. Obviously, not every company is Google and having super sophisticated security practices is both hard to do from an engineering standpoint (requires lots of infra) _and_ requires staff to have a security focused mindset. This is not something a lot of places have, not even tech companies by trade. The cost benefit analysis isn't high, so you end up with orgs that do things akin to dumping all corporate code into one Github account and then wonder how things went wrong when something bad happens.
Boeing Co, as a government contractor being hacked is obviously more concerning than a breach at $x company. It's a shame. I'd say this is a learning opportunity, but it likely won't be. Onto the next round of "cybersecurity" speak...
If you try and attack a company, that leads to monetary damages, then yes, that company is entitled to use their data for redress. When you open HackerNews, or any website, of course they have all your information in log files about what you opened, when and from where (ip address, browser headers, etc). That should not be surprising.
Seems like a well grounded complaint. It’s obviously going to be politicized, given politics precipitated things from the start, but there is nothing wrong with letting these matters play out in a court. Remember that Elon has himself been the subject to defamation suits, and he’s won them all. If MM committed deception then likewise they will be held to account as the court determines right, there is justification for the lawsuit as X can prove they were damaged.
What is novel about driving engineering? It’s obvious he’s a highly involved CEO, and he actually understands and explains engineering decisions all the time. I hear all the time comments like “he doesn’t know anything about making rockets”. Tom Muller regularly has to comment on this noise. https://x.com/lrocket/status/1512919230689148929
This is far worse. OpenAI simply cannot survive without Microsoft and skeleton staff. It's not like a static codebase where you can keep the service up and running indefinitely barring bugs. Why would anyone building with the OpenAI APIs, their customers, have any faith in the company if they openly don't care about business? Working on AI is highly capital intensive, on the scale of many tens of billions of dollars. Where are they going to get that funding? How will they pay their staff? There is no way Microsoft is going to HODL after this embarrassment.
Cool! I recently wrote my own user script to do the same thing. It's going to be very hard to patch or detect this, as updating video element props don't trigger DOM updates. They would have to either do lots of JS prototype trickery or check for playback rate when doing adblock detection. One thing to keep in mind here though since you're doing DOM lookups every time anything on the page changes, is that there could be some small overhead in page render time, and also that using fixed CSS classes means any small change to page code could break the checks. In case it's a problem in the future, checking .innerText is a hacky way to workaround it.
There is a concept of a boardroom coup, which is what this was. The lack of decorum, the unceremonious and abrupt exit at the highest levels including removal of the chairman of the board, and the damning statement implying misconduct are very serious and substantial moves for any board to make, nevertheless one of the size of an org like OpenAI. They did not consult with investors, did not attempt to negotiate with the CEO/ask for a resignation, or anything of the sorts to resemble reasonable process. Usually you retain some form of legal counsel before making such a substantial move, but given the traditionally lax oversight non-profits, it doesn't seem like this is the case.
It's only at the abrupt all-hands meeting they called on a Friday night that it became clear that Ilya Sutskever was at the center of it. He had his disagreements, and pushed the board into making such a abrupt move, and then goes on to say something like "oh I agree it wasn't the ideal way to do it". It's very clear this was a power struggle, not maleficence (per words of OpenAI CTO), from Sam Altman. At least so far, it boils down to ... Ilya didn't like feeling sidelined, so he took things over. And now it's clear the board that sided with (or rubber stamped?) Ilya just wasn't prepared for the consequences.
It’s a shame OpenAI for its ironic namesake is so opaque about their work these days. Fortunately since GPT-3.5 capabilities have mostly stayed the same (at least anecdotally), and the API costs have come down a bit, there is some silver lining here. With Google’s Gemini coming out later this year I think it’ll be interesting to see the reaction from OpenAI. It certainly won’t take much to blow out the current state of GPT-4. I’m just being patiently optimistic we’ll get an API with capabilities similar to OpenAI, but that’s definitely not a certainty.
Although Apple Maps is way more fluid to use, it's is missing so much local detail in so many places, I find myself often having to switch back and forth between Apple Maps and Google Maps just to make sure I'm not missing stuff on the map. At which point you may as well just not use Apple Maps outside of the biggest cities in the US.
I am skeptical about the performance part (object lifecycle management being a subset of that), whether this is a serious issue causing bottlenecks in modern (not over engineered) production software. It seems to me that subset of software that needs the performance (like hashing, large binary data processing, geometric processing, etc) are things that should be offloaded to GPU for real performance or if it has to be done on the CPU, be run under optimized WebAssembly with no dynamic memory allocations. Since JavaScript has a very good packaging ecosystem compared to other languages, often you don't even have to go out of your way to do that. Someone else has probably done it, and it may just be a require("xxhash") away.
I think it's quite backward thinking actually to bend the language making it more complex for the human for the benefit of the compiler. Especially with the shift to LLMs, programming languages should be closer to natural language and expression, not vice versa.
The good JS packaging ecosystem takes care of the small standard library issue, but I definitely agree there's room for expansion there. This seems like a surmountable problem. And by standard lib I'm not talking about things that can be trivially be implemented with Array/Object/Map (like queues or ordered maps), I mean things like RNG, math functions, or things like the recently added `fetch` method for HTTP calls.
I already have a massive improvement in productivity from GitHub Copilot that I don’t find it hard to imagine that fine tuned LLMs will be able to automate the bulk of mundane work in software (maybe even all of it). Programming, and other computer based activities that involve writing are the exact types of things that language models are good at.
There is also Chromium which you can build and patch if you really need low level changes to the browser not achievable from JS, but nothing immediately comes to mind to necessitate that.
It's a big deal, and it wouldn't be hyped for no reason. If you think smart language models are just for "entertainment value", then I think your world view is at odds with others in the field. This is what the industry is hawking around, and you see a reflection of that on HN and other places. Eventually the novelty will fade, but this is still very new tech so I think there's still a lot more to come out before we get there. Now, this is just my view, but a Bard API is much more valuable news than a bug fix in a compiler or something.
Super cool. I wonder how it would look in color. I'm also a bit curious on the geometry, it seems to be much flatter than what I'd expect, but this may just be an issue with the reconstruction.
He takes questions at Tesla earnings calls that other CEOs would delegate to lower level executives, and can talk about rocket science when prompted (see Tim Dodd's videos). That's not to say he's an expert on everything, one thing to note is he's also been working at those companies since the start. In my view, a big part of why his companies are successful is he actually does understand the product portfolio to a great depth that most CEOs who simply do management don't. I'm not talking to the level of "I can code this myself", I simply mean "I understand the software used to make this, how it talks with X and why we do Y instead of Z". It's easy to bash on people because you don't like them, but it doesn't make for a convincing argument with blanket statements like that.
Well, that's alot of "luck" then. If only everyone could be as "lucky". I wonder how many CEOs have in-depth understanding of their products? My guess is it would be few.
If you’re waiting for a dip at lows, it probably won’t come. Back in November when the stock market bottomed people constantly spread fear that we’d see even lower lows by this time of year. Except we haven’t, and even despite the bank worries the S&P 500 is still holding onto the 4000 line.
I believe their last earnings call was what precipitated the fear in the bank and ultimately what caused the big spike in withdrawals that led to them running out of immediately free cash.
It’s both. The S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow all are suffering and even the 10 year is down because of fears the Fed is breaking something with the bank shocks. People are fleeing stocks (including cryptocurrencies) to hold USD.
At first this seemed surprising. Until you think about it more in-depth, port 80 is very much a privileged port that most applications don’t have permission to host on. Additionally, servers typically can have multiple HTTP services running in parallel and since you obviously can’t run two separate servers on the same port, it makes sense to avoid this conflict by running services on specialized ports. I don’t believe the intention for most hosts is to keep the service secret by running it on a non standard port.
Look at the other intelligence community reports are rated as and what "low confidence" means in intelligence community assessments. The fact that the DOE is taking the time to revise their previous stance is a very big deal in our quest to understand the origins of the new coronavirus.
