So I asked ChatGPT what is a rent seeker and it said it's someone who seeks to make money without contributing anything. I don't think that fits OpenAI. I think you're overlooking ChatGPT, for example, which was developed by OpenAI.


HN has turned into the Slashdot of the 2000s. No wireless? Less space than a Nomad? Lame.


HN already had its ipod moment back in 2007. /.'s ipod moment was in 2001, not as longer before that as I would have guessed.

Re: Dropbox, from a well known user. It didn't age well and we've been asked not to repeat it because it makes the author with connections to this site's operator look bad.

> 1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.

I suspect a lot of the active users on HN today don't remember Slashdot of 2000...


Is it accurate to say that wavelets were a promising avenue of research in the 1990s but interest in them has kind of died because they were obsoleted by CNNs?


Because neural networks can learn a natural basis (on the manifold of natural images). And image compression is not an interesting problem any more.


Not every problem needs a CNN thrown at it.


Which structural limits of TF2 and PyTorch were fixed via the Jax ecosystem?


Perhaps the product manager was a black queer mother of two?


Maybe everyone of the 28 AI "people" represents one of the team members, but that doesn't make it any less of a bad idea in my eyes. As a father of girls I've seen full well how representation matters in media, but I suspect that AI "people" is the one area where people will want as little representation as possible.


Why was it a bad idea to do pipeline parallelism?


What do you mean they wouldn't arrest? Israel's foreign minister Tsipy Livny had arrest warrants issued against her by courts in the UK and in Belgium.


The UK literally apologized to Livny for doing that; that's how not toothy these things are.


That depends on who is in power. I don't think Jeremy Corbyn's Labour government would have apologized.


A real shame a Corbyn Labour government isn’t a reality.


Every employee that joins Apple goes through a course that teaches a few case studies about Apple's culture. One of those is how Steve Jobs made the decision to kill Flash. IMHO it was a no brainer and if this sort of thing needs to be litigated in court, it's a travesty.


Everything needs to be litigated.


By the time you're paged to handle the situation, the pedestrian is already trapped under the vehicle and you cannot see her because the car does not have an under-the-vehicle camera. So the only way you can handle this case is to rewind and review what happened before the collision and respond only then. Considering that the speed with which you react can be a matter of life and death, I don't see a satisfactory solution to this problem.


Why not have under-the-vehicle cameras and sensors?


> But I will always pick a Waymo over an Uber if they are the same distance away. I love playing my own music and just being in my own world without another human to consider. It is truly a relaxing commute.

Not to ruin your commute, do you know if there are interior-facing cameras monitoring the passengers?


Per Google, there are cameras inside the car: https://support.google.com/waymo/answer/9190819?hl=en


For how long are the recordings stored?
