Hard to say. Why would you load a new config if a valid config is already loaded? Maybe the new config has a new update. Who knows? Do we want to keep operating on the old config? Maybe maybe not. But operating on old config when you don&#x

which mean an unexpected behavior could go unnoticed for a long time. I'd prefer a loud crash over that.

Not really. If both sides don't trust each other, no amount license nor contract would suffice. It would be a headache to prove the other side violate licenses. In fact, they are already fighting on whether Eric was scraping data illeg

As far as an analogy, whatever happens, whoever messes up, Zuck, as the owner, of course, takes the final blame. That's why he is changing the team. Still, people bring up this weird point that would be equivalent to you giving up your

It's a great comparison, and we are on the same page. Zuck wants both great products and research. Lecunn is great at producing high quality research. So, Lecunn isn't quite a good fit at Facebook.

Who gives a shit about who invented what? Social network wasn't even novel at the inception of FB. MySpace, Friendster, and Hi5 were already popular with millions of users. Zuck operated it well and was able to grow it from 0 to what i

If you hire a house cleaner to clean your house, and the cleaner didn't do well, would you eject yourself out of the house? You would not. You would change to a new cleaner.

LeCun is great and smart, of course. But he had his chance. It didn't go that well. Now Zuck wants somebody else to try. Messi is the best footballer of our era. It doesn't mean he would play well in any team.

The thing is: once you have feedback, you have to act on it. Ignoring the feedback is dangerous unless sanctioned by higher leadership. This is our nature, and the blog does hit this point where we default to collaborate. There is of course

This is an example of why collaboration and feedback before launch are mostly useless. Posthog is obviously successful. The design is good enough. But is it perfect? nah. would a better design make it more successful? highly doubt it. If we

It's called "thinking from the principle" for a reason. You will have to re-invent the whole product from the start...

The equivalent of "I told you so". Yeah, you should never do that in any situation.

Not really. If we are gonna avoid using the services by an oligarch, then just say that. No need to go through the 5 steps of denial. I hope we are not against being honest.... but you can see a bunch of comments here going through those st

It's against the writer's manifesto. The writers should always always recall their materials. Auto-save is an opposite of that. You can see the full manifesto here: writermanifesto.com.

The point about profit is a bit moot because OpenAI would have never paid any tax if it were for profit, as in they haven't made any profit.

by ergocoder 11mo ago
I mean, OpenAI has never been profitable. If anything, they are insanely unprofitable.

by ergocoder 11mo ago
Yeah, just like many software engineers. AI has achieved software engineering.

Why can't they just make it a phone? It looks like a phone. It can use mobile data through sim card. It uses android. What is going on here? I don't want to carry two devices where both look like a phone.

The social media or anything really needs to be curated. Tiktok was blatantly un-embarrassed about manual curation where they favor good-looking people, and that made the content good at the beginning. X needs to do the same.

It's a different tier of software engineers to be able to write a text editor, let alone the fastest one... I worked at multiple FAANGs and can't see me or any of my colleagues capable of doing this.
