So it seems. That does mean that there is a non-scam explanation from where genuine returns come from but doesn't solve the bigger problem since the consequences of a major disruption to the traded assets could cause massive losses. Is this just a pennies in front of steamrollers type trade like other basis trades?
I had a similar experience, I empathize heavily. One of the big gaps in all public school is that it has to optimize for the middle 50% of all kids. Given constraints that ends up being probably good for society, but so many people get left behind to fend for themselves as a result.

> You cannot legally rob a bank just because they left it unlocked and unmanned

Nobody suggested making crypto crimes legal. Just metering the degree to which law enforcement, a public good, is put to use pursuing it. Why should a law-abiding saver bail out what in many cases looks like a gambler’s foray?
Fortran had a 72-column limit on punch cards (the last 8 columns were used to number the cards in the deck). Even when we got VT100's there was some caution about going past column 72 (ISTR some of the VDU's would have a marker at column 72, possibly the compiler gave a warning too).

There's plenty of situations where traditional banking system does nothing. A social engineering scam led to a 6-figure USD theft, it was a down payment meant to be wired as part of a real estate transaction. The money was already out of the country; they got nothing back. There was a local news article about it.
AdImpression.php is a multi thousand line file in Facebook’s monorepo that supports billions of dollars in revenue. It has the best/worst ratio (depending on your perspective) of code quality/readability to revenue generated that I’ve ever seen.

What’s impressive is how many attempts, both successful and less successful have been made over the years to improve it. Refactoring this file isn’t easy because any change could potentially lead to millions being lost. But people keep at it.

It actually looks pretty decent nowadays compared to a few years ago. I believe it has type annotations now but I haven’t seen it in a long time.

I think this is the opposite of a "corrected for X factor" we usually see in studies - this is suggesting that economic situation is a bigger factor in fertility than religious practices.

That should be a "duh", but having more resources resulting in fewer kids is the opposite of the malthusian hypothesis that this is limited by resources/mortality & is driven by personal choice to have kids (and kids do better when parents explicitly choose to have them).

They're saying it is a small factor, not that it does not influence it, because if you correct for economic climate, there are definite differences that you can measure, because personal choice is definitely influenced by how many kids your social circle have.
Fine, make crypto outside the legal system. Gains can't be taxed and failure to apply AML/KYC can't be prosecuted, but you get no protection from the courts for theft. I'd take that bargain.

So vaccines are bad because Americans overestimate risks due to trusting media and government too much (and those apparently misusing that trust) and therefore don't go to the hospital (and apparently surviving at home instead of needing to be brought into a coma at the IC, because that's only for the hospital's profit) which confounds the numbers that were missing in the original trials?
Python API Tutorial – How to Interact with Web Services
These days DevOps is used as a bludgeon to fire sysadmins and make devs pretend to manage infrastructure. The idea from the corporate viewpoint is to save money by not having anyone to handle systems stuff, just shove into "The CloudTM" as serverless microservices, then just restart it when it falls over instead of troubleshooting.

Yes, I'm cynical. Having to use javalike stuff to do what should be a simple shell script will do that to you.

Why say 'religion' when they mean 'Christianity'? I don't think Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, or Shintoism are suffering these problems-- in fact most people aren't even familiar with the daily practice of them. It's Christianity that you're actually taking offense to
The whole idea of marriage is that their interests are united. A spouse is just one half of a two-shareholder corporation, so whatever covenants and restrictions there are shouldn't sit upon just one half but the whole.

That said, I do think it would be entirely legitimate to prohibit government service outside of the enlisted (non-officer) military ranks for direct relations of politicians during and some time after their term in office, it would just take a constitutional amendment and some very carefully thought out details.

Scams that will collapse in 2022:

* Axie Infinity. That's a Ponzi in the collapse phase. Their Smooth Love Potion token is down 90% and in a screaming dive, and their Axie token is down 37% from peak. That one is going to hurt a lot of poor people in the Philippines. Many quit their jobs to play Axie's play-to-earn game. All the money comes from later entrants, so it's a Ponzi by definition.

* OpenSea. The NFT market is in worse shape than it looks. People are minting crap art like crazy, and people are buying it at inflated prices, hoping to flip it to a greater fool. If you look at actual resales on OpenSea, they're not happening much. The supply of greater fools is running out. As I've pointed out before, this works just like Beanie Babies on eBay. Asking prices around US$5000, actual sales around $50, most items show zero bids. NFT markets don't visibly crash, they just quietly stall. Most NFT markets don't show statistics which expose that.

Cite? No, the way it works is that you pay lawyers who know enough to play it out in their heads and determine who has to pay whom to make it go away. If one side is stubborn and ignorant, then they pull the trigger and the years-long, extremely expensive lottery play has begun.

Your assumptions about the law, about judges, and about rationality, rhetoric, and the justice system in general are about to be destroyed. The lawyers know the high variance of court and generally want to avoid court like the plague.

(The justice system is badly broken, obviously. The core issue is that it takes far too long to judge a case, and a big reason for that is a) the rules are too complicated and b) not adopting better tech. We should have trials that start a week after filing, with online juries, online judges, and real-time access to data. The attorneys can finally earn their ridiculous wages by learning how to fly through information and present it in a compelling way.)

So its been a while since I used Rails but when I did I enjoyed it. In particular, say what you will about DHH I think having a fairly "opinionated view" on how the framework should function makes it much easier to deal with. Every time I need to do something full stack with Node I feel I need to go back and figure out what the current state of ORM's are.

However the reason I don't use Rails as much is that I'm not writing a lot of "full-stack" apps. A lot of the work these days is gluing together various SaaS services. Okta/Firebase for Auth, Contentful for CMS, Stripe + Webhooks for Commerce etc. I just don't do anywhere near as much "CRUD" style programming as I used to do earlier in my career, which is both a comment on my career and the state of programming today.

I'd love to see a project that wraps up a bunch of best-of-breed technologies and creates a full framework and doesn't try to be all things to all people. ie React for Front-End, Bookshelf ORM, Express Server etc (pick your favorites, but have an opinion that evolves but only in one direction.

Britain is no longer a nation of Nigels (2017)
Well, you're right.

See, we more or less structured the US on the Hobbesian state of nature, wherein we're all supposed to be greedy, self-centered, and violent. This was rife with induction and failed to account for a litany of examples that simply weren't present. It's old hat that never got scraped off, but now it's baked into literally everything we do.

But because the fundament of our system is developed on that conception of humanity, it contributes to the conditioning of the people laboring under it. My favorite thought experiment: My ex used to accuse me of cheating, I'd have to explain myself, she'd go through my phone, we'd argue; at that point, being punished for the crime, I had may as well cheat to reap the benefits of my just desserts. The Hobbesian affair is a slight alteration in the logical apparatus there - you're not being greedy so you won't be rewarded.

I'll credit the system this: I suspect a more "social" (via Rousseau) view would have immense difficulty in defense against the Hobbesian man. We're by nature, and the dint of our calling as humans (cooperative apes) intrinsically trusting. Granted, there are some conditionals, and some conditioning that as we grow wise, a skepticism emerges. To me that says a system that doesn't employ the Hobbesian mode, is highly susceptible to it. If your institutions are, historically, pristine in execution for a long period the social expectation would eventually gravitate to certainty. When some bad actor is seated, a little sophistry could go a long way in creating a system of exploitation. Something like that...

Most people, I think, and this is borne out by my own experience - just want left alone to their lives. The chains aren't uncomfortable until you find their limits, and as long as you don't reach that you're hardly aware of them after spending a life captive in their grasp. This coupled with intrinsic trust, and the world's inundations, add liberally debt and the construction of the social standard of "good" and "success" and you've managed to culminate a great ethical slavery.

Ultimately though, whether we're fighting fire with fire, the fact remains that we're pressing people to do exactly as you did. Offering a free ascension on a staircase made of the backs of mankind, blaming those who fail to acede to it on a moral basis, and complaining about the living who one tromps upon.

As to organizing, that's a joke. We've really not trialed any other approach at scale sans Marxism, itself a joke. And collectivization of small elements hardly marks a real difference when it's plainly easy to exploit.
Spring is pretty lean as long as your use case is typical and common - you can practically setup most of the foundation just via config. However, anytime you have to deviate from the typical, the complexity of the Spring framework underneath starts to show and the beans and boilerplate start to grow pretty fast - not unmanageable but not exactly lean either. Fully agree about the ecosystem.
These sorts of rug-pulls blur the line between legal and illegal though. Take the "Save the Kids" token [1]. In this case, they hyped up this token, their audience bought into it thus jacking up the liquidity, and right around the top all the folks that were hyping the token sell off and everyone is left with a token that's basically worthless.

When we talk about law enforcement stepping in, I struggle to see what they could possibly help with in scenarios like this. TBH the FTC or SEC needs to step in and investigate these instances.

> there is no way a human could hear the difference in the best and worst DAC

Are you sure? Remember that a DAC in this context is also an audio circuit, not just an IC performing digital -> analog conversion. I can say with certainty that switching to a USB DAC made a big difference vs using the output on my motherboard, no computer noise + I lost an unnecessary amplification stage. Of course, I would never spend $$$ on a DAC, because as you mention it's a very low-impact component of the system.

The other thing is that DACs which support high sample rates can play your high sample rate music without software resampling, which is obviously not a useful feature for a lot of people but is definitely audible if you do have high sample rate music for whatever reason.
The interesting thing about microservices is not that it lets you split up your code on module boundaries. Obviously you can (and should!) do that inside any codebase.

The thing about microservices is that it breaks up your data and deployment on module boundaries.

Monoliths are monoliths not because they lack separation of concerns in code (something which lacks that is not a ‘monolith’, it is what’s called a ‘big ball of mud’)

Monoliths are monoliths because they have

- one set of shared dependencies

- one shared database

- one shared build pipeline

- one shared deployment process

- one shared test suite

- one shared entrypoint

As organizations and applications get larger these start to become liabilities.

Microservices are part of one solution to that (not a whole solution; not the only one).

This is called executive wisdom. You are seeing things clearly now. Most ideas are bad. Most execution is sloppy. Just because you can does not mean you should. Your primary job is to kill all ideas except the one thing you are absolutely certain of. Do that one thing. Over-do it. Then do it again. Be certain that there is no possible way that anybody could do it better.

Edit: I probably should have said to kill all projects/features/goals that you are not absolutely certain of. Ideas for achieving the same objective in a different way, are probably good risks.
Hi all, I recently built https://pretrained.convect.ml.

I’ve been interested in the potential for building web apps on top of pretrained models that have been gaining popularity in the machine learning community. One foundational piece for these apps would be access to predictions by these models with fast response times. So, I’ve made models available via an API for a few AI tasks:

1) Text generation (GTP-2, GPT-Neo 125M, and PEGASUS for paraphrasing): Provide text and generate more text with a similar style and content. Use these models to build an AI writing assistant or even synthesize entire articles.

2) Computer vision (CLIP): Measure the association between any sequence of images to a list of arbitrary texts. Use CLIP in an app to detect vehicles, animals, trees, household appliances, or other physical objects that you can describe with words.

3) Conversation (Blenderbot 400M Distill): Build an AI-powered chatbot that responds to user inputs. TBH Blenderbot’s responses don’t always make sense, so I’d be careful with this one.

4) Article summarization (Bart Large CNN): Generate a summary of the salient points in an article. Use this model to build tools to help people consume information faster.

5) Text classification (Bart Large MultiNLI): Measure the association between any sequence of words to a list of arbitrary text labels. A classification model can be used to detect topics, e.g. send customer call center transcripts to this API to detect if customers are reaching out about specific topics of interest, such as product defects or payment discrepancies.

6) Sentiment analysis (DistilBERT base uncased finetuned SST-2): Detect the sentiment of a piece of text. This model, for example, could be used to measure overall customer approval levels for a product from social media posts.

Many of the endpoint response times are sub-second and could be used in applications to provide a near-real-time experience. I have also included CodePens (in React) for each of the models to make it easy to get started with building on top of them. All the endpoints handle preflight requests from any origin, so applications can be purely browser-based if you want to do that.

I’m not the first to make these models available for free over an API but am hoping to make the experience of getting started as easy as possible. I’d also love to chat with anyone who has been curious about using these models in their projects or if there’s a particular model that you wish was readily available as an API endpoint.
How are people buying in to GameStop after it has gone up by 20 times in price not "the ones that should lost it"? They're obviously just trying to get rich quick, and knowingly taking a risk to do it. Who "should" lose the money in a case like GameStop? I can't think of any scenario where it's not the people jumping in late to try to make a quick buck.

edit: Initially I vastly underestimated how much GameStop stock went up

I'll give you surface syntax in common, other than that not much. I think a Rails dev would have a much easier time picking up Django or Laravel than Phoenix. How hard is the switch from Rails to Django? Probably trivial. But Ruby to Elixir is a mind shift.
> As an AI professor, I've always held that machines are NOT intelligent (I am prepared to change my position on the day my computer asks me anything surprising that I didn't program it to).

While granting you your seemingly arbitrary metric for 'intelligence', one is forced to wonder to what extent AI systems of today are even given a means by which to ask such questions if they did, in fact, have them. Take AlphaGo, for instance, which can consistently beat the greatest living grand masters of the game. Does it have any means of interaction by which it could pose an unexpected question?
I disagree with just about everything you said.
"We are already overpopulated and those who says it isn't just doesn't know how many people live under poverty and are simply privileged." This makes no sense. As the global population has grown, less people live in extreme poverty [1].

Your entire comment is basically saying life is hard so people should not be born? This is absolutely the best time to ever be alive in history.

"One person can manage hundreds of people." Have you ever been to a nursing home? This seems insanely optimistic.

It is, and I've had a nagging suspicion for a while now that this is the flaw at the heart of cryptocurrency and related phenomena. It's all built on the premise that the answer to "we can't trust existing institutions" is to try and design systems that don't require us to have trust in any actor, but as Sharlin noted, it's difficult to impossible to do anything transactional that doesn't require some level of trust. Perhaps "trust no one" is not actually the right solution to the problem.
So far in the last year or so, I've heard 0 reasons why I'd even need, want or benefit from Win11 over Win10. Tons of reasons in the negative column though. There isn't even anything to salivate over that might make you think it might be worth it to deal with the other tradeoffs. Hard pass.
