ChatGPT explanation:

When you concatenate an executable and a JAR file:

- The operating system reads the initial part of the file (the executable header) and treats it as a binary executable.

- The JVM, on the other hand, looks for the ZIP file structure when attempting to load a JAR. Since the ZIP file format places its directory structure and central directory headers at the end of the file, the JVM can still recognize and load the JAR contents even when the ZIP file is appended to the executable.

As a result, the file can be executed as a binary by the operating system, while the JVM can also load and run it as a JAR file. This dual functionality is possible because the executable and JAR components operate independently of each other based on their respective file structures and headers.

What's a promise from Sam Altman worth, again?


That's not a "promise from Sam Altman", that's a contractual term between Apple, Inc. and OpenAI, LLC.

So I think it's worth as much as Apple is willing to spend enforcing it, which I imagine would be quite a bit.


Idk about Sam Altman in particular, but OpenAI pulled the bait-and-switch you can still see in its name. We don't know what the contract says exactly, but there are always loopholes, and I would not assume anything OpenAI says to be in good faith.

I also don't really care, but it's understandable why some people do.


> that's a contractual term between Apple, Inc. and OpenAI, LLC.

do you have a source on this or are you just assuming?


Do you think this is all running off the standard openai API and they picked a dev at random in Apple to use their accounts API keys?

Of course there is some agreement…


It would be a very surprising business arrangement if that was not explicitly called out. Apple is not going to leave this to chance.


> Apple is not going to leave this to chance.

How much would you be willing to bet, on a statement like this? I love a sporting chance.


If we find out in the next 12 months that OpenAI has been storing requests from Apple/Siri AND Apple doesn't come down on them with a 10 ton lawyer hammer, I'll pay you $500.

Can you match it the other way around? :)


crickets from OP


I will bet around $10,000 FWIW.


Even if the promise were made in good faith, I fear it may be hard to resist pressure from law enforcement etc.


If Apple is sitting in the middle proxying the IP addresses, and not keeping any logs for longer than they absolutely need to, law enforcement could go pee up a rope, right?


You'd hope so, but corporate resistance against domestic intelligence has a bumpy track record: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/12/apple-admits-to-...


That's just the enterprise guarantee. The same applies to Azure OpenAI services and the API services provided by OpenAI directly.


What broken Sam Altman promises are you referring to?


Personally I would say the disparity between what was in their founding agreement "be open-source—freely and publicly available for anyone to use, modify and distribute" https://archive.ph/R0LBL to the current state of affairs.

But I guess the list of grievances could be longer:

Leaving OpenAI, for one.


The promise is from Apple, not OpenAI, and likely contractual.

If OpenAI actually went against that, Apple would unleash the mother of all lawsuits.


Tim Cook doesn't seem to mind hanging his reputation on sama's promise, so at least that's something


"let's store responses and a hash of the request intent in a kvp then"


Please, an encrypted key-value store. The private key is only shared between you, Apple, and relevant law-enforcement agencies. It's as private as you can ask for, these days!


Storing the response and *a GPT-summarized request* would not violate the spirit or letter of the statement here, either.

The instant generation of pictures as you type in meta.ai is really impressive!


It is. But I noticed something weird. If your prompt is “A cartoon of XYZ” and press enter the preview will be a cartoon but the other images will be weird realistic ones.


The preview is using a different faster model so you're not going to get the exact same styles of responses from the larger slower one. If you have ideas on how to make the user experience better based on those constraints please let us know!


Well my feedback would be that your larger slower model doesn’t seem to be capable of generating cartoon style images while the preview model does seem to be able to.

A bit like LVMH, the only difference being that LVMH customers usually don't upgrade their handbags once a year.


The ownership of the stock itself is a luxury experience. Maybe in the future you must own the assets for the opportunity, like an aspiring exotic factory Ferrari customer. I am sure some bored apes could get into something like that.

CFO: "In Q4 FY 24, large cloud providers represented more than half of our Data Center revenue..Strong demand was driven by enterprise software and consumer internet applications & multiple industry verticals"

Not clear if Meta is included in the "cloud providers", if not that would push the share of revenue from Big Tech even further to 60-70% considering the 300k H100 order from Meta.
