Not really, since your chance of being a victim is divided by the number of people in the area.

Depends on behavior. If I stay in my room all day, I don't contribute to your divisor. If Jack Dorsey doesn't walk around alone past midnight, he's not absorbing the same risk quotient either.

Jack Dorsey is a weird motherfucker and a real outlier for this example. He used to walk to the Twitter office every day and generally looks and dresses like someone well outside his economic strata. I would not be surprised to find “midnight solo perambulations through the tenderloin” among his hobbies.


And yet, with a new major election just around the corner, major conservative newspaper is already blaming left-wing activists without any evidence

Left-fringe activists could be useful tools in hands of some more nefarious powers. (Right-fringe activists could be equally useful.)


Being free to use doesn't mean it ships with the original recipe.


What do you mean? The entire model and architecture and executables are fully open source.

The training methods are nothing secret, right? The architecture is well known.

Expecting the entire training dataset to be fully open is delusional.


> Expecting the entire training dataset to be fully open is delusional.

Right, because its not like the training dataset was built off comments posted by all of us in the first place.

How ungrateful we are, to demand the ability to access what was unconsentually built off our hard work in the first place.

"How was Grok trained?

Like most LLM's today, Grok-1 was pre-trained by xAI on a variety of text data from publicly available sources from the Internet up to Q3 2023 and data sets reviewed and curated by AI Tutors who are human reviewers. Grok-1 has not been pre-trained on X data (including public X posts)"


Well, it powers web rendering in Chrome


And Android graphics...


And Canvas in Firefox...


And Flutter on Canvas


And there was work in the Chromium PDF library, pdfium, to switch to SKIA from AGG. It was going slowly for many years and wasn't finished last time I looked about three years ago.


And some rendering libraries in .NET


And the new UI framework for Jetbrains Fleet. And the new UI framework for Clojure Humble UI


All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?


And gamedev sprite editing with Aseprite


A much smaller loss, how much loss per active user though?


About $73m, I imagine?


Agreed with OP, the title is misleading. Typescript technically doesn't introduce any new runtime feature. This is basically a polyfill for an upcoming Javascript feature.


Are you implying that voicing concerns about the potential societal implications of technology is no longer valid or justifiable?


No one is preventing him from voicing his concerns. I do object to "ensure that every time we someone with that ugly Apple ski mask strapped to their faces we let them know how ridiculous it is" - that bit sounds like he wants to harass anyone who doesn't share HIS concerns.


Not that it’s the same, but I remember people reacting this way to smartphones in public places. We seemingly consider the same behavior people raged about in the past as perfectly normal today.


Because language models don't work as you might expect. It might be a simple task for deterministic algorithm, not so much for language based inference model. There are no hard coded rules for specific requests


GPT-4 has no problem with this.


Doesn't mean it's simple


Account handles will not recyclable (for obvious security considerations). So this seems more akin to "permanently disabled" rather than "deleted"


It has been reported that they will not be reusable for exactly that reason.

There's an argument that this should be done with domain names as well. Right now, anyone can buy an expired domain, set up a wildcard email address, and read any email that's still being sent to addresses in that domain.

Conversely, if you take the advice of some to set up a personal domain for your email, you are basically committing to a lifetime obligation. If you later change your mind and let that domain expire, any future owners of that domain will receive any email that was sent to your old addresses.


And if you don't take that advice, you are committing to someone else's lifetime obligation. Or the extent of their funding/desire/or attention span.


Domains are like real estate. You may end up with a nuce prime real estate in cheap & do nothing. You bought a good domain long ago and not using it. You may buy a domain/property, raize everything & start from scratch. If you abandon a plot/property, domain, and not pay the dues (taxes) or registration fees, anybody can come & claim it through defined procedures.

Same way I may buy a home & get mail. Tomorrow if I sell that home I need to do change my address with senders, and make sure to put forwarding (maybe keep the old domain for few weeks/ this year)


Interesting. Is there a 302 equivalent for mail so I can start people getting off a particular address?


No standard way to inform the sender of a new address, AFAIK.

You can set up a forward to your new email, and keep the old address active and forwarding messages until you're satisfied you've updated (or canceled) all the uses of your old address.

Then maybe start bouncing messages for a period of time before you finally shut down your domain.


Isn't this a vector for username squatting then?


How is this more a vector than it is now, though?


Tried it a couple of days ago, and I could really notice the speed & battery improvement. Impressive for what seems to be a one man project (of 18yo according to his twitter bio ?!).

Reading the architecture page (https://docs.orbstack.dev/architecture), OrbStack seems more than just a simple wrapper around Docker tools, but some clever custom kernel tricks and network stack.


(dev here) Indeed, glad to hear that it's worked well for you! Running custom services in the VM and on macOS also play a big role because it allows us to build them from scratch with efficiency in mind, rather than using off-the-shelf components. Larger time investment upfront, but definitely worth it in hindsight.

I don't expect OrbStack to stay a one-man project in the long term :)
