Both of those are unlikely. The whole point of bankruptcy is to mitigate things like contract terminations. Further, the bankruptcy court will have little, if any involvement in the eventual sale of the naming rights to a new sponsor.
The only thing close is some ethereum tools like these:

But I think the real killer feature to me is the javascript target. It seems like a real dream for a fullstack experience.
Having worked on this for quite a few years (compute in memory with a variety of emerging memories: RRAM, MRAM others) with a substantial research team, our conclusion ended up being you are better off with SRAM based solutions. And most likely tightly coupled memory with digital compute is better than doing compute in memory.

The newer memories like RRAM are simply not stable enough: too much variations, drift with temperature, reliability etc. On some cases you can try and re engineer the devices to be better suited but they invariably end up being larger, or more power hungry, and often both. See for example https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9405305 (sorry for the paywall - no open access available)

Adding insult to injury, none of these emerging memories can be integrated with highly scaled digital CMOS. (22nm is about a low as you can go for eg MRAM and RRAM - where they are offered as embedded flash alternatives) But you will always need flexible, programmable digital compute in order to have an AI accelerator that can do more than 1 flavor of resnets.

SRAM, in the meantime does scale relatively nicely and co integrates well with digital logic across the whole spectrum down to 5nm FinFETs and below.

This isn't my understanding of GDPR. I'm also not familiar with any rulings which has done this. Not really seeing anything in a quick search.

I'm not in Europe. From my personal understanding of GDPR I like the legislation and what it does for the people. IT specifically exempts people and residential and government from the enforcement. So this is corporate regulations saying corporations can't transfer personal data out of europe.

Do you have a problem with this? If so, what are you doing with my personal data? Tell me more? I would like to know who are threats to my personal data.
Did you know that cows can up cycle agricultural waste into protein? Human's can't eat corn stalks, for instance.
Sheeet, I didn't even know that was possible. Why would they use that font for displaying C code? I looked at that ≠ and spent a few minutes trying to figure out what language it was. Maybe I should uncheck the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" option in Firefox, though it woulld probably break other websites.
That kind of gets into philosophy of what governments are for: should they protect people who make bad decisions from themselves? Does the answer change if people are actively marketing the bad decision? Does the attempt at doing so suggest they're actively trying to keep poor people from getting rich?

It means that the contract you enter when you loan money has limitations to what you can use said funds for, and how or what it's secured with (including interest). It would seem that the creditors of Bankman-Fried gave him quite liberal limits, if it wasn't simply the byzantine structure of his many, many straw companies that made it extremely hard to understand what the money was ever used for, so much so that he may or may not have lost track himself.
I just don’t understand why a total of ZERO big companies have tried to compete with YouTube directly.

Does anyone know the effect on Nova Labs and the Helium Network? It was my understanding that they recently switched the network from the Helium Network token (HNT) to Solana (SOL).
Also, we won't really conquer covid until everyone has built up immunity and the countries with the lowest vaccination rates are the ones that can't afford this kind of markup.

This is still a problem that affects us all. Not saying that it would be less bad if it didn't affect us, but I mean that a hard-fought vaccine for a niche illness could have to be expensive to amortize development costs. Covid is not that.

Ps and like @Beltalowda says a lot of their R&D was publicly funded. And they got a huge boost by bringing their thus far experimental RNA vaccine tech into the mainstream.

I don't think anyone really fully understands the global economy.

A friend of mine who is a financial engineer by trade (has designed the algos for HFT, works at Blackrock, etc.), explained a few basic principles to me:

1. All models are wrong; some are useful. A good way of making predictions is to average together the most successful models.
2. Economic systems are run by humans, who are constantly trying to game the system to their advantage. As greater capabilities for measuring and understanding the system are developed, the dynamics of the system are changed by those capabilities, thus changing the understanding of those metrics in the first place, and on and on, forever.
3. The way markets react to developments in technology is of course why you can't trust anyone who is promising huge investment returns based on "backtesting". Nobody can predict the future, because the way the market reacts to changes is constantly evolving.

At best, we can understand the dynamics of the global or local economies at a given point in time. Even that is extremely difficult.

Conclusion - books won't help
> This is usually a good idea, but can lead to unintended side-effects (See: United Kingdom).

In the UK you very much vote for a person, using the arcane first past the post system. People usually vote based on party allegiance, but at the circonscription level you cast a vote for the one winner, resulting in massive disenfranchisement.
All of these places were offering insane APRs as well as other perks for staking your coins. So speculators park real money, expecting that they'll be smart enough to see the crash coming and slurping up that sweet return in the meantime.

And it's glaringly obvious everyone offering these outsized returns is literally just pulling a ponzi.

> Of course it’s different. The very nature of a soldier’s job involves death.

Absolutely not as the CO of a ship. You are orders of magnitude safer on one of those ships than working as a roofer or a farmer.

> don’t understand what you mean by “a CO doesn’t have to go overboard”, I provided an example of just that happening.

You provided an example of someone going overboard on a ship, but nothing a CO does makes them more susceptible to going over than any other person on the ship. Being a CO is not higher risk than taking a fucking Carnival cruise.

> Every human with a heart has some risk of heart attack. It’s silly to compare that risk to a soldier’s risk of death.

Given that “heart attack” is probably the most likely way a high level officer in the US military would die, I think not.

> Elon Musk has 0 risk of being swept into the sea from his desk.

Not quite. San Francisco has some pretty gnarly long tail risks from earthquakes. He’s also now in charge of one of the biggest propaganda tools in the history of humanity. The Saudi’s have wacked reporters for far less.

As soon as someone says X tastes like Y I get a little suspicious. Can't we just come up with a new notion of X unto itself so we all don't have to pretend that X tastes like Y?
the problem is the material properties link power and variability. This means that you either get good variability or higher power consumption, but never good variability at low power at the same time
Completely valid, I worried about that after I typed it but decided to leave it in to relate more to the article which opens on a wacky start up idea.
Of course.

That would be the worst world. I love that we have semantic and accessible elements and Markdown is pretty bad in both those categories.
Energy efficiency is skyrocketing though. My house uses 25% the energy it would with if we installed 20 year old appliances (even ignoring improvements to insulation).
This is lunacy, why would you ever think people choose software platform over which political beliefs they maintain.

Not sure if this is trolling. Please don’t be mean to me. Your comment is abrasive.

I can assure you that engineering departments do in fact teach classes in which the lecture material is based on research regarding the color and other aspects of design elements. The parent discipline is “human computer interaction”, and “user experience” is a narrowing.

I’ve sat through an hour long presentation about a single button used to meet an accessibility mandate in California. The presenter spent months employed with the purpose of designing the button and designing tests to ensure the correctness of the button. The size, shape, color, and sub-images of the button all contribute to its effectiveness.

Coming up with the iPhone as a creative example of UX doesn’t make me wrong. It’s at the intersection of design and engineering in the same way UX scientists have to brainstorm research directions. My comment was specifically regarding the formal field of UX as a subfield of HCI, and it’s correct and relevant to the subject matter of the article in that websites and apps look the same because there is a state of the art in the engineering discipline of UX.

It does not help. It basically serves several purposes:

1) forms a talking point for political speculators in media to get views and clicks

2) used by political strategists to figure out what lies they can tell voters

3) used by political pundits to scare voters into action and lull voters into inaction. “Oh no! The Republican/Democratic red/blue wave is coming!” This discourages voters of the perceived victorious party from voting and encourages voters from the perceived losing party to vote.
Ho ho. As far as I know, you can make a wash with a broad brush.

Watercolour is a nice way to paint blurry things like oceans and clouds, which involves broad strokes.
I would rather encourage migration and let the admin provide links to similar instances.

I disagree. A high carb diet make me fat. A high protein diets does not.

There is no vegan way for me to eat my daily protein target without eating far too many carbs along with it.

(edit: I should have stated that there is no way beyond eating highly processed foods)

Tesla made almost the same profit as Toyota last Quarter. While having a much, much better position in terms of debts and company value. And while the company is still growing at incredibly rates each quarter. All this while major competitors are shrinking.

The Tesla stock really only went up when they had proved they had cracked mass production of the Model 3 and were making an electric vehicle at industry leading margins.

One can argue Tesla stock is still to high, but its certainty not 'objective'. Good annalists disagree and you can reach almost any valuation depending on your future assumptions.
I love the seaweed that you sometimes get in restaurants (rarely where I live, unfortunately). But the article makes me a bit skeptical, it doesn't mention any downsides at all, it sounds more like a marketing piece than a balanced assessment.

I don't even know what questions I'd have to ask, off the top of my head I'd like to know what the risks regarding eg mercury and microplastics contamination are. Also, would we be eating 'wild' algae, or would they be farmed? I guess it'd have quite different implications both ecologically as well as nutrient-wise.
Guess I’m a Luddite as I only see blockchain tech as a solution in search of a problem. I think it’s worse than useless and crime isn’t a valid use case.
I can't reply directly -- is there a maximum thread depth, or a maximum conversation depth?

Anyway -- I wanted to apologize for misreading -- I missed the parenthetical "interpolation" in your comment. I think we are both interpreting the plot the same way.

In terms of your comment about anecdotal evidence -- are you talking about the case where data and model size are increased jointly? If so, I agree, though I don't think that is any longer cleanly to do with double descent/overparameterization.
Technically speaking Larry David was discouraging people from using FTX.
My guess is that recently lots of people have come to associate hunger with their own failed attempts at losing weight rather than with poverty and desperation. Saying that you want to "end hunger" is not a message that will resonate with them.
I thought that was the whole point of the article, that "any X would know" is actually just "any [person not smarter than you] would know".
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but to me and I think a lot of people that are likely to be on this site the Soviet Union just doesn't conjure up many rosy images or anything - no squeeze is needed.

Having a list of accomplishments doesn't negate criticism. I'd actually argue going from a semi-feudal rural society to a hyper military-industrial one in such a short timespan and in a forced top-down approach actually made things worse in the long run. I'm biased though, since the only people I know from the Soviet Union were the ones who escaped.
Steve Jobs would never say he's better than others. But mark my words here, people with real higher IQ actually do know they are smarter and make better decisions than others. They actually can't stand being around dumb people.

There's only one major problem: with intelligence often comes OCD, autism, spectrum stuff. The brain is lit up all over the place, but often comes with a lot of things that makes life worse.

You're actually much much better off being a bit idiotic in this world.
I'll take the 30 million dead over a relatively small number of dogs killed as the greater evil thanks.
Depends, i know one company that spent billions swithicg to memory safe stuff, but after a few years an experienced team did a project in both the memory safe new stuff and in parallel the same in C. The C code was done in a week, the new stuff 3 months. They are back to C for everything and the people pushing memory safety are gone.

The right tools mater. The memory safe stuff above was autosar, so not something often discussed here. Rust is getting interest from the above team but after the above burn they are slow to try new things.

- FTX had much bigger trading volume (which might get people better fills)

- FTX had lower fees than Coinbase

- FTX offered a lot more coins to trade than Coinbase

- FTX (like many others, but not so much Coinbase) were giving large sign up bonuses, and advertising like crazy. (Finance YouTubers like Graham Stephan, Meet Kevin, Jeremy Financial Education, Minority Mindset, etc. are taking some heat for their paid promotions they did for FTX.)

- FTX offered options on some cryptos, like Bitcoin. This seems to be kind of rare.

- FTX offered leverage (like most of the other big exchanges, but not Coinbase)

- Since FTX also set up a separate FTX.US entity, it gave the perception that it had all the same US regulation protections as Coinbase. And since FTX was much bigger than Coinbase, it gave the perception that FTX was more likely to be more solvent than Coinbase. A month ago, I suspect if you asked most crypto people which exchange was more likely to go under first, they would have all said Coinbase.

This whole industry looks very unhealthy. The large exchanges that most people use like Binance and FTX have books and operations shrouded in mystery, so nobody really knows how solvent any of these things were. FTX said they were not lending out coins (and by law, as an exchange, they are supposed to have all assets), but only after a leak revealed by Coindesk, did the public find out something was really wrong. Without that leak, FTX would still be doing business as usual.

Meanwhile, Coinbase which is a publicly traded company in the US which is many magnitudes more transparent with their books (because they are required to be), can't seem to make a profit.

The overall implication is that regular exchanges that just make money from fees are in an unsustainable business model. And all the other exchanges that are making a profit, might be doing all the shady things that FTX was caught doing.
Tech workers face a new reality as talent wars turn to pink slips
It’s a lot harder to memory leak in Go and Java than rust.

Just like it’s harder to have a memory safety issue in rust than C++.

if you are worried about data races, use a language like elixir that’s more safe than rust and is great for concurrency.

If you are a rust dev that forces your language into areas where a GC would suffice, than you are just like C++ devs who refuse to use rust for memory safety.

You are introducing memory issues just cause you don’t want to use a better tool.
You will learn that when things that have been worked on by 100's of smart people look strange there is usually a reason why.

This stuff is very hard, contributions before criticism.
Thanks a lot this is super helpful, much appreciated.

I was just thinking about the other services, for example would Cloudflare be ok? We proxy all our traffic through them, and they are key for DDOS prevention, I suppose data goes encrypted to them.
While thousands were losing their jobs, he was a social event in NYC. Not working, at least not by most definitions of the word.

I don’t expect my CEO to do everything I do. I do expect her to be present and actively communicating with staff during a massive layoff. I do expect her to respect the time of thousands of employees by being timely to meetings she called. I do expect to hear about my job status from a living person, not a batch email sent to my PERSONAL email address.
To be fair, a lot of people probably got into this situation on an equivalent recommendation.
> While the people that came before weren't any smarter than you; it's important to remember that they had, collectively, more experience in more areas than you could ever dream of having.

People don't sum that way. It's more important to remember that they had, individually, a bit less, a bit more, or about the same experience in a few less, a few more, or about the same number of areas as you do, and that the collective experience you yourself have to draw on is vastly larger than theirs was.
