This indicates that it's not really about the SSN (which isn't even visible publicly on the KF thread), it's just a convenient excuse for censoring free speech that Fong-Jones and his helpers don't like.
Is there anything in that thread that you would consider to be good reason for an Internet backbone company to do everything in their power to censor the entire site? And not even with a court order or anything like that, but merely at the request of the subject of the thread.
Yeah but the people targeted by KF tend to deserve it. Their forum holds a significant amount of archived evidence of wrongdoing, deviancy and degeneracy. People ripping people off. Child abuse. Animal abuse. Sexual assault. It's almost always tied to actual things that normal people find worthy of criticism.
It shouldn't be legal and maybe it isn't, but all schemes like this are, when you get down to it, ultimately about suppressing potential or actual evidence of serious, possibly criminal misconduct, so I don't think they are going to let the illegality get them all upset while they are having fun.
Almost every part of the story that has made OpenAI a dystopian unicorn is hyperbole. And now this -- a company whose employees can't tell the truth or they lose access to remuneration. Everyone's Allen Weisselberg.
What's one more hyperbole?
Edit to add, provocatively but not sarcastically: next time you hear some AI-proponent-who-used-to-be-a-crypto-proponent roll out the "but aren't we all just LLMs, in essence?" justification for their belief that ChatGPT may have broad understanding, ask yourself: are they not just self-soothing over their part in mass job losses with a nice faux-scientific-inevitability bedtime story?
Keep building your disruptive, game-changing, YC-applicant startup on the APIs of this sociopathic corporation whose products are destined to destroy all trust humans have in other humans so that everyone can be replaced by chatbots.

I'm finally in a position to be able to create custom scripts (Powershell) to help automate tasks. The ease of using Powershell+SQLite to creat minimalist "programs" has been incredibly addictive.
The insult against anyone who pushes back a little bit is not a good sign, I agree. From all we can see now, the massive speedups being claimed have zero optimal baselines. I badly would like to identify these.
The fact that you don’t know the answer to this question, and don’t even seem to think it is relevant, is chilling.
People want to be able to ground your work—which you are claiming is the “parallel future of computation”—in something familiar. Insulting them and telling them their concerns are irrelevant just isn’t going to work.
I would urge you to think about what a standard comparison versus Haskell would look like. Presumably it would be something that dealt with a large state space, but also top down computation (something you couldn’t easily do with matrices). Big examples might include simply taking a giant Haskell benchmark (given the setting of inets it seems like a natural fit) that is implemented in a fairly optimal way—-both algorithmically and also wrt performance—-and compare directly on large inputs.
Sorry to trash on you here, not trying to come across as insulting, but I agree that “reductions per second” is meaningless without a nuanced understanding of the potentially massive encoding blowup that compilation introduces.
Don't you think intermediate representation like SPIR-V would suffice in mostly eliminating stutter? Yuzu used that and shader stutter seemed to be minimal and I can image that the shaders generated by Yuzu are much more complex than Dolphin.
Look, I understand the value proposition and how cool it is from a theoretical standpoint, but I honestly don't think this will ever become relevant.
Here are some notes from my first impressions and after skimming through the paper. And yes, I am aware that this is very very early software.
1. Bend looks like an extremely limited DSL. No FFI. No way of interacting with raw buffers. Weird 24bit floating point format.
2. There's a reason why ICs are not relevant: performance is and will always be terrible. There is no other way to put it, graph traversal simply doesn't map well on hardware.
3. The premise of optimal reduction is valid. However, you still need to write the kernels in a way that can be parallelized (ie. no data dependencies, use of recursion).
4. There are no serious examples that directly compare Bend/HVM code with it's equivalent OMP/CUDA program. How am I suppose to evaluate the reduction in implementation complexity and what to expect on performance. So many claims, so little actual comparisons.
5. In the real world of high performance parallel computing, tree-like structures are non-existent. Arrays are king. And that's because of the physical nature of how memory works on a hardware level. And do you know what works best on mutable contiguous memory buffers ? Loops. We'll see when HVM will implement this.
In the end, what we currently have is half-baked language that is (almost) fully isolated from external data, extremely slow, a massive abstraction on the underlying hardware (unutilised features: multilevel caches, tensor cores, simd, atomics).
I apologize if this comes out as harsh, I still find the technical implementation and the theoretical background to be very interesting. I'm simply not (yet) convinced of its usefulness in the real world.
its not clear how this differs from just using htmx + alpinejs
basically im on a path to ditch *SPA frameworks altogether and have been evaluating the following:
- Unpoly
- Hotwired
- HTMX/Alpinejs
Now looks like Datastar will need to be explored, i think it has potential but the documentation needs rework, more details should be included in landing page
The rules also say "Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it. Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead. If you flag, please don't also comment that you did."
I'm not really sure it's the best idea to accuse someone of breaking the rules if in doing so you're also breaking one yourself.
Do we actually want this, truely? If the species goes long enough in such sterile environs, free from voracious infection and without the constant assault upon the immune system, wouldn't the ultimate end result be far more disastrous? If removed from our protective civilization bubble or should a disease come along that can penetrate it, couldn't this be far more devastating to a population? Isn't a constant assault from the maximum amount of weakened and lesser disease of paramount importance to a robust and healthy immune response?
I got to try this thing out a few weeks ago! I've spent a lot of time in VR, and I've driven karts before, so I thought I had an idea of what it would be like when you put the two together. I did not, it blew my mind. Having the correct physical forces coupled with VR was incredibly immersive. I chatted with Greg about future ideas as well, and a drive-by-wire kart with VR opens some really mind bending possibilities that I'm so stoked to get to try as this develops. MARIO KART DRIFTING IRL, HERE I COME.
Also it's interesting how this provider isn't attempting to do the same for Doxbin, which is the source of this dox:
