I would love for the authors to consider a book on Hyperscript.

I initially dismissed wanting to add another scripting language to an app, but after some experimenting I have used it to replace 100s of lines of JS. Mainly for UI animations.

It’s not for the faint of heart, but enjoyable to learn.

I find the docs difficult to follow and would enjoy another hardback manual to sit next to this book, which is superb.


i'd love to write a book on hyperscript, but i should probably get it to 1.0 first :)

maybe next summer


It feels desperate, rushed and ill thought through.

They seem desperate to be ahead and they will frighten people away from the usefulness of ai.


I think this describes almost all AI products being promoted these days. They all seem rushed-to-market, in an attempt to get a boost to the company's stock price: "They're an AI company! BUY!"


Smells like the late 90s dot com bubble!

Everyone on the bandwagon.

Put out a landing page with AI on it and ride the hype train.

MS are pouring a lot into this - can they sustain it!


I have a lot of sites on netlify and a number of domains managed under the business tier. It would take a long time to recover if they were nuked in one go.

They really should have guard rails in place for this as well as uncapped usage.


I am a business user with netlify. I have unlimited functions calls on that plan (fair use of course!) and use their JWT protection that redirects to a login site at the cdn level, so you can rate limit. Not a solution for public static sites though! You are metered on the starter and pro plans after the starting limits.

They seem to have dropped that plan now.

I was starting to move back to traditional hosting as these platforms are convenient, but you do lose control and get hammered for their addon services and simple things like static ips are beyond them, even if you offer to pay.

Also, if their cdn is naughty listed, corporate networks may block your site as you are sharing pro and business plans with free sites that maybe serving malware etc.

Hearing this story has pushed me to move.

I hope they sort that for you, they really should have the ability to protect a site and let you choose what to do if you are exceeding your limits.


Yes, but why roll out a capacity bursting feature in the midst of a crisis.

Surely the priority is stability.

The incompetence is unrelenting.


Lots of posts showing ChatGPT going offline. Some showing errors, others failing to log in after the session expires.


It has had an incredible amount of mainstream media attention around the world in the last couple of days so it’s hardly surprising. That said, it did cross my mind that dark forces or a disgruntled employee might be at work.


Yes. Usually the service grinds and slows. This was a sudden auth failure - quite strange! You can’t help but think it is more than capacity - or maybe I am getting carried away with the soap opera.


Turn that on it’s head - was he standing in the way of a commercial sale or agreement with Microsoft!

He may not be the villain.

But who knows, it feels like an episode of silicon valley!


If you look at who is on the board, how it's structured (they don't have equity right?), it seems like it's actually because he violated the charter. Why would Ilya Sutskever punish Sam for doing the right thing wrt AI safety?


They are in a strange position.

They had an open ethos and then went quasi closed for profit and then a behemoth has betted the family jewels on their products.

Harking on about the dangers of those products does not help the share price!

My money is on a power play at the top tables.

Embrace, extend, and exterminate.

Playbook!


Quasi-closed is an understatement. You could almost sue them for false advertising.


He will be ok!

Either a position in Microsoft or a new start-up.

Or both.

What does it mean for OpenAI though? That’s a limb sawn off for sure.


Certainly they could have fired him without Ilya's vote.


How? Per the blog post: "OpenAI’s board of directors consists of OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, independent directors Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo, technology entrepreneur Tasha McCauley, and Georgetown Center for Security and Emerging Technology’s Helen Toner." That's 4 directors after the steps taken today. Sam Altman and Greg Brockman both left the board as a result of the action. That means there were 6 directors previously. That means a majority of 4 directors. Assuming Sam & Greg voted against being pushed out, Ilya would have needed to vote with the other directors for the vote to succeed.

Edit: It occurs to me that possibly only the independent directors were permitted to vote on this. It's also possible Ilya recused himself, although the consequences of that would be obvious. Unfortunately I can't find the governing documents of OpenAI, Inc. anywhere to assess what is required.


Sam might have abstained from voting on his own ousting, since he had a conflict of interest.


Yes, true.


It makes no sense to suggest that three external directors would vote out a CEO and the Chairman against the chief scientist/founder/principal's wishes.


That’s the practical argument, and also seems to be true based on the news that came out late last night.


use research and AI to analyze Sutskever's character. the way he talks, the way he writes, what he did in the past, where he studied, who he was and is "acquainted with" ... do the same with the rest of the board and with Altman as well.

someone hire some PIs so we can get a clear and full picture, please & thank you


Tech investigative reporters are probably on it, just wait a week or two.



This was my first thought after seeing a clip of Sam and Satya during OpenAI's DevDay. I wonder if he was standing in the way of a Microsoft acquisition, and Microsoft has just forced in those who would allow the purchase to happen?

I don't know, so much wild speculation all over the place, it's all just very interesting.


They are betting so much on Open AI just now.

They need to be so much more than a partner.

Being open is not in their nature.

Sadly it is usually the demise of innovation when they get their hook in.


I can do anything I want with her - Silicon Valley S5:

>That guy definitely fucks that robot, right?

That "handsy greasy little weirdo" Silicon Valley character Ariel and his robot Fiona were obviously based on Ben Goertzel and Sophia, not Sam Altman, though.

>The character of Ariel in the current episode instantly reminded me of Ben Goertzel, whom i stumbled upon couple of years ago, but did not really paid close attention to his progress. One search later:

What stops you from using TS? It starts with JS and JSDoc as a starting point and then you can add TS.

Small projects maybe fine with JSDocs as a starting point.


> What stops you from using TS

I'm glad you asked

Nothing

I use it every day

:)


Whilst nowhere near as robust as typescript, JSDoc offers a level of type checking through an editor such as vs code or intellj.
