> Except that what's being implied about the New York Times and New York Post articles in that quote is misleading. Yes, the headlines mention the flashy gains, but both of the referenced articles repeatedly mention the losses and scammy aspects of some coins.

I absolutely agree. However...

I'm sure we both know that all of this is no different to the pump and dump / exit scams of 2017 repeated again for this run. Once again when it is all going up, the media selects a few winners to boost and create headlines like this to get retail investors to put their life savings in and it is only then once the crash eventually happens, the stories turn negative with the 'we saw it coming' rhetoric, despite spreading articles with clickbait headlines luring retail in to those extremely risky investment platforms where they don't read or care about the risks.

I don't expect retail investors to care about the loses of others or reading the whole article as they are attracted to the high risk, high reward aspect of these speculative and high risk assets. Thus, they will ignore the losers that got 'unluckly' and they will take their punt in whatever has been promoted by the media, thanks to the clickbait headlines.

Oh yeah 'that' one. [0][1] Shame on Reuters and others for boosting this fool during the hype of Jan 2021. To show you how dangerous and ridiculous this individual is for her flawed 'analysis' and 1M+ account following, just look at her greatest h̶i̶t̶s̶ misses:

>> “However getting into mid-March, I see a big correction. Mid-April is also really less optimistic. May is bullish.”

No correction happened in March 2021. Bitcoin was at >$50K. Mid-April it was at $63K. Finally, her finest one: 'mAy iS bULliSh'. Going from $57K to $33K (40% down in May) is somehow 'bullish'? A total fool boosted by the media due to her large following, which as you can see is very dangerous and irresponsible for them to hype up idiots like her to make retail investors listen and lose money based on dodgy and bizarre indicators.

How about different more natural poses, like the cat stand on top of and dominating the man?
Curious that they didn’t address the opposite as well, that being — what is the impact of posing with cats on male perceptions of female dateability? If anything, guessing that has a lot more bias, given the average cat owner is female and over 50, at least in the US.

> The U.S. grid loses about 5 percent of all the electricity generated through transmission and distribution [1]

Compared to losing over 70% of energy by converting it to methane (optimistic bound, I vaguely remember seeing 14% efficiency somewhere but can't find it quickly so I doubled it and ignored other loses which are probably also over 50% combined). I think it's pretty clear it makes no sense to do this for predictable baseload powerplants like nuclear. The main advantage is storage for unpredictable, time-dependent solar energy.

This is a relatively common pattern in CTF (and probably, other competitive activities). Being a top-level CTF competitor takes a big time investment, both in terms of maintaining your skills, and actually competing.

It's hard for an individual to maintain that level of commitment over time, especially if their personal responsibilities increase (getting a full-time job, starting a family, etc.). Responsibilities aside, people also just get bored and/or burnt out (after a point, most challenges are just variations on something you've seen before).

For a team to stay competitive over time, they either need enough members to fill the gaps, or a sustainable influx of new members.
> Do masks really not work?

It depends on what kind of mask you are wearing.

Disposable cloth face masks work very well for a virus with a droplet based spread like the flu.

>CDC says seasonal flu cases hit record lows around the world

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/cold-and-flu/cdc-says-seasona...

Disposable cloth face masks do not stop the spread of airborne viruses like Covid, which continued to spread like wildfire globally while Flu cases were at a global all time low.

With an airborne virus you need a mask capable of filtering the virus out of the air you breathe, not one that only catches the tiny droplets you spray out when you cough or sneeze.

Recall that GPT-3 isn't trying to get the right answer, it's trying to plausibly complete the document. If the document is could be an 8th grade homework assignment, it may answer as a plausible 8th grader would, which includes a decent chance that it will give a wrong answer.

Try writing it more like an exercise and answer guide from a graduate textbook, and you'll predispose the model more towards getting the right answer.
This on the surface sounds solid but I persobally think most job searches are narrow unless you are doing “career changing” moves. How many good UI/UX colleagues do you have that are good at anything else? How many compiler developers can center a div on the page? I think this “I know a lot of things” is just something we say - terms like “full stack” developer etc…

I mostly develop on a computer which isn’t connected to the internet (so no Google, Stackoverflow etc…) and I often think how miniscule fraction of “full stack” developers could perform even the most menial task in any of these “stacks” they apparently know
Too bad FDA recommendations are complete made up fantasy.
There are anecdotes, even in this very thread, of people mortgaging their house to invest into crypto. This isn't a case of off-the-cuff investments, one must knowingly and willingly mortgage their house to retrieve the money to put into an investment. At that point, one must take care of their own financial health if they do something so willingly.

To your speeding analogy, most of these people are losing proportionally. Unless they're margin trading, if they put in 500k from their house mortgage into a coin which crashes, they lose at most 500k, they don't lose more than that, which is a 1 to 1 proportional amount. Now on the other hand, there are some Robinhood traders who turn 5k into -750k [0], usually through options, and that is what I'd call disproportional, and I have some sympathy for that, often because those people didn't even know their losses could be so large.

I've ridden Amtrak a few times on different routes, TX to CA as a child, midwest to DC as a student, and northeast to southeast (NE corridor +) with a pregnant wife.

The main issue with train travel in the US is that many passengers are going to need a car when they reach their destination.

If I could pick one major rail investment for the US it would be to follow I-95 from Florida to New England. There is a lot of commute and vacation traffic along that interstate (I-95) that can be stressful and people would probably happily move over to Amtrak if the service guarantees are good.
There weren't any "ties" with Russia to begin with. (Nor with China, even though Jolla also has some Chinese investors). What I remember is that Russia wanted an alternative to Android OS and ios. Samsung and Jolla pitched their Tizen OS and Sailfish OS respectively to the Russian government. Russia decided to go with Sailfish as Jolla was willing to license the whole source code and be more flexible with its term (partly out of desperation as it needed investment). Then some Russian company started the OMP ( https://tadviser.com/index.php/Company:Open_Mobile_Platform_... ) which licensed Sailfish OS to fork it and develop it as Aurora OS. OMP also committed to contribute code back to Sailfish OS, and aid its continuous development (75% of Sailfish OS is open source so they anyway would have to release the source). This company also invested in, and bought around 10% share of Sailfish holding (Hongkong) one of the investment vehicle created by Jolla. That Russian company then sold 75% of its share to Rostelecom, another Russian corporate (the Russian government owns 45% of the Rostelecom). Rostelecom also acquired 75% share of OMP, which it later increased to 99.9%.

So technically, Russia's official mobile OS is a clone of Sailfish OS it rebranded as Aurora OS that is owned by OMP, a Russian company, and not Jolla.

Also, after Russia invaded Ukraine, Jolla investors have been trying to cleverly use the anti-russian sentiments to its advantage by trying to convince european investors to buy the shares of Rostelecom. Source (in Finnish): https://www.linkedin.com/posts/samulisimojoki_putinin-hy%C3%... .
We humans have proven terrible at determining what is sentient. That's why we're still discussing the hard problem of consciousness.

There is the Integrated Information Theory that attempts to resolve how to determine which systems are conscious, but it's far from being the only perspective, or immediately applicable.

From the point of view of one the IIT's main theorists, Christof Koch, we're still far away from machine sentience.

But I question whether if it's so far out to believe a machine capable of not only learning, but learning on their own behavior, self-monitoring for sensibleness and other very 'human' metrics is that far away from being self-aware. In fact the model seems to have been trained exactly for that.
I believe you're talking about "SSHFP," a DNS RR that contains SSH fingerprints.

Excellent. Indeed, as you say already for the real numbers one could have chosen sqrt(9) = -3: after all, (-3)^2 = 9 just as much as 3^2 = 9. Taking into account this inherent ambiguity in the definition of the square root function becomes crucial when extending it to the negative numbers, as my example shows.

So, long story short: although not everyone agrees, personally I prefer to define the imaginary numbers by means of an entity i that obeys i^2 = -1, and avoid talking about "square roots of negative numbers" as the (otherwise fine) article does.

For most 2D/3D games using ECS, which is something somewhat popular right now, you can definitely easily abstract the editor, in the manner flohofwoe mentioned for example. Same for other systems.

A few minutes using Unity3D are able to demonstrate that: Unity's interface is quite transparent about the abstractions it uses.

Also, Unity3D itself uses the extensibility of its own editor to add advanced editing features, so it's already something industry-proven.
I've seen it estimated elsewhere that a km of heavy rail track is slightly cheaper to build than a single freeway lane. To what degree all the surrounding infrastructure, maintenance and externalities change that equation I'm not sure, but a single track is surely capable of moving a lot more passengers per hour than one freeway lane. Of course there may be relatively few situations it actually does, but if your goal is to get as many people from A to B as quickly and cheaply as possible, rail is surely cheaper.
That was true 3-4 years ago but nowadays they're getting surprisingly good, and that's alarming.

> If we assume that nullptr and auto mean the same as in C++ then what problem does nullptr fix in C?

For starters, it fixes the same problems it fixed on C++. I'm talking about stuff like automatic type conversion to ints and consequently being forced to babysit when your compiler called foo(int) instead of food(bar *) just because you passed NULL.

Also, keep in mind that these features are low-hanging fruits to any compiler writer, especially those who already maintain compilers that support C and C++. Thus the argument you should be making is not "why should C have these features" but "why should C be deprived from these features".

COVID has mutated and is now much easier to transmit. There are now monkeypox cases where toddlers are getting it. If it mutates and becomes more transmissible it seems plausible that some people will look at the history and say If we had stopped it from getting a foothold, it never would have mutated into the variant that transmits so easily through the population.

Also people were blaming people for not wearing masks even if they were never around a grandma. Just because they might get it and infect someone who might then be around someone's grandma. Being a link in the causal chain was enough to be condemned by some people.

FGPAs allow near-ASIC speeds with effectively the flexibility of software in that they can be updated via firmware upgrades, with much cheaper dev. costs than ASICs. They do have a higher unit cost than ASICs but only at high volume. For anything that is 'low' volume an ASIC may not make financial sense at all in any case.

I am no expert in DPI specifically but Google suggests that using FPGAs for DPI is an active commercial topic.
