OpenAI Sam Altman Says the Company Is âOut of GPUsâ
An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that the company was forced to stagger the rollout of its newest model, GPT-4.5, because OpenAI is âout of GPUs.â In a post on X, Altman said that GPT-4.5, which he described as âgiantâ and âexpensive,â will require âtens of thousandsâ more GPUs before additional ChatGPT users can gain access.

So, #Mozilla wrote something up to âexplainâ their #Firefox move. Read it in full here:
https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/information-about-the-new-terms-of-use-and-updated-privacy/m-p/87922/highlight/true#M33705
TLDR? Itâs bull. Letâs dive in?
They focus basically in saying three things:
- Mozilla needs a license to your data to do things like sending your words to a search engine;
- thereâs #AI stuff that needs ToS and Priv. Policy;
- the acceptable use policy was already in place at Mozilla for the website, etc..
Why bull?
- if what I type on Firefox (the browser) was sent to Mozilla so they could send it to the search engine, then theyâd need access to it. Itâs not how a browser works or how a privacy-caring browser should ever work. Since what goes on between my Firefox textfields and the browsers I submit to is between us and then, Mozilla should have nothing to do with that data, with or without license.
- They talk about two kinds of AI: AI services you can access to from Firefox, and AI offline and private abilities within Firefox. For the first, each of those services - if we choose to use them - can and should have their own ToS (distinct from Firefox or any other software used to reach them). AI services running locally should never share anything with anyone, so thereâs no licenses Mozilla should get.
- Keep your websiteâs ToS to your website, I donât need it on Firefox - and Mozilla neither.

The âofficial conversationâ is happening here:
There they tell users that âYou stay in controlâ. Unfortunately, their new Terms of Use say that:
âEvery once in a while, Mozilla may decide to update these Terms. We will post the updated Terms online. We will take your continued use of Firefox as acceptance of such changes.â
No matter how common this has become over the past years, this is quite unacceptable, and Firefox users deserve better from Mozilla. The fact that they can unilaterally change the terms and users are automatically bound to them (as soon as they use the browser again - even if theyâre using it to open the document where they can see the date on the terms!) is not a fair agreement - and works against the claim that âYou stay in controlâ.

Of course, this doesnât make sense, it couldnât be just like that⌠so I went on and read the terms. The trick is specifically on this bit:
âThese Terms only apply to the Executable Code version of Firefox, not the Firefox source code.â
So sure, Firefox is still the Free Software codebase you were used to, only now if you want to use not the code but Mozillaâs distributed binaries, youâll do so while also agreeing to some Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
The trick is, of course, to not use their binaries. In practice, things are a bit trickier. Ubuntu, for instance, was more than happy to ditch their self-compiled Firefox packages and use Mozilla-provided snaps instead.
But trickier or not⌠well, Mozilla has just made an unhappy user base unhappier - and I hope they reap what they are sowing.

This is cool but I miss easier interaction O:)
Amd of course, TDD! I tried that, but it doesnât work all that great for me in its strict form. I have the feeling that coming up with a single new failing test, making it pass, maybe some refactoring, rinse and repeat wastes significantly more time than doing it in â what they call â the âbundleâ approach. Coming up with several tests in advance and then writing the code or vise versa is usually much quicker. I do find that more enjoyable, it also helps me to reduce smaller context switches. I can focus on either the tests or the production code.
As for the potentially reduced code coverage with a non-TDD approach, I can easily see which parts are lacking tests and hand them in later. So, thatâs largely a specious argument. Granted, I can forget to check the coverage or simply ignore it.
I agree with John, TDD results in less elegant code or requires more refactoring to tidy it up. Sometimes, itâs also not entirely clear at the beginning how the API should really look like. It doesnât happen often, but it does happen. Especially when experimenting or trying out different approaches. With TDD, I then also have to refactor the tests which is not only annoying, but also involves the danger of accidentally breaking them.
TDD only works really well, if you have super tiny functions. But we already established that I typically donât like tiny methods just for the purpose of them being extremely short.
When fixing a bug, I usually come up with a failing test case first to verify that my repaired code later actually resolves the problem. For new code, it depends, sometimes tests first, sometimes the productive code first. Starting off with the tests requires the API to be well defined beforehand.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Just before the pandemic, we watched Uncle Bob videos once a week in the lunch break. While almost all of my old teammates agreed with his views, I partially found them to be very odd and even counterproductive.
I didnât come across John Ousterhout or any of his work before, at least not deliberately. So, this document is my first contact.
I only finished the chapter on comments and I totally agree with John so far. This document just manifests to me how weird Bobâs view is on certain subjects.
I always disagreed with the concept of a maximum method length. Sure, generally, shorter functions are probably better, but it always depends. And Iâve certainly seen super short methods that just made the code flow even worse to follow. While âone function should only do one thingâ is a nice general rule, Iâm 100% in team John with the shown examples. There are cases, where this doesnât help readability at all. Not even close.
To me, a function always has to justify its existence. Either by reusing it at least at another place or by coming up with dedicated tests for it. But if it is just called once and there are no tests, I almost always decide against it. Personally, I donât mind longer methods. We just recently had a discussion about that and I lost against two other workmates who are more in Uncle Bobâs camp, they refactored one medium sized method into three very short ones. Luckily, we agree on most other topics.
Lol, what!? The shorter the method, the longer the variables inside? I first thought I misread or the writeup mixed it up. Iâll always do it the other way around.
Iâve been also bitten badly by outdated comments in the past, but Bob must have worked on really terrible projects to end up with such an attitude to dislike comments. Oh well. No doubt, Iâve come across by several orders of magnitude more useless comments, in my experience (autogenerated) JavaDocs fall in the category more frequently than not. So, I know that there are different types of comments. A comment doesnât automatically mean that it is good and justified.
But I also partially agree with Bob and John and think that a good name has a proper chance to save a comment. Though, when in doubt, I go Johnâs route and use a shorter name with a comment rather than use a kilometer long identifier. Writing good comments typically takes some time, sometimes much longer than writing the code. It regularly takes me several minutes. Itâs a hard art.
I perhaps should read up on Johnâs work. He seems to be more reasonable and likeminded. :-) Let me continue to complete this document.
âTodayâ is too late.
