I'm not familiar with mill at all, but the problem of doing a JIT at this level is where do you store the result and how does the JIT actually run? The CPU can't exactly call mmap to ask the kernel for a read/write buffer, fill it with the JIT result, and then re-map it r+x. So you get things like carveouts where the CPU just has a reserved area to stash JIT results, which is then globally readable/writable by the CPU. Better hope that JIT doesn't have an exploit that lets malicious app A clobber the JIT'd output of kernel routine B when app A gets run through the JIT! Also not like the kernel is aware of the JIT happening, either, as the CPU can't launch a new thread to do the JIT work. So as far as all profiling tools are concerned it looks like random functions just suddenly take way longer for no apparent reason. Good luck optimizing anything with that behavior. And the CPU then also can't cache these results to disk obviously, so you're JIT'ing these unchanging binaries everytime they're run? That's fun.

Maybe all of that is solvable in some way, sure. CPUs can communicate with the kernel through various mechanisms of course, you can build it such that the JIT is a different task somehow that's observable & preemptable, etc... But it's complicated & messy. And very complex for what a CPU microcode typically is tasked with dealing with, for a benefit that seems quite questionable. It's not like there's any reason a CPU doing the JIT is going to be more optimal than the kernel/userspace doing the JIT - it's trivial (and common) to expose performance counters from the CPU, after all.

That doesn't mean a CPU designed for a JIT is inherently bad, it just means doing this at the microcode level like Transmeta was doing is a bad idea.
Unthinkable to the most naive and gullible people on Earth maybe.
Thanks for sharing your take. I dropped Evernote years and years ago. Like iPad 2 long ago. I feel like they were some of the early subscription services and probably copped a lot of my rage about it. I still hate subscription fees.

I would prefer to pay for my storage (or host my own) and have apps use my cloud backend. Every app running cloud server to sync all sorts of things has become too much for me.

I still rock 1Password 7 and use iCloud sync. I’d pay for the app but it’s free. I pay for iCloud storage.

Anyway I might give there new apps a look.
It can be quite expensive. Is Twitter going to cover for the full time period?
I'm not sure why anyone would play this weird game of defrauding Amazon and working for a company for free when they could instead just do: "Hey I need some time, can my start date be X days from now", where X will probably be 30 or so days (given it takes time to apply to new jobs, go through the various stages of interview, etc).
I treat messages like emails, they're asynchronous. I don't reply immediately if I'm busy and if it's important someone can contact me directly or call. Reading and following everything little going on doesn't seem healthy. I also don't use social media, maybe that's why I don't have the compulsion some are describing.
> Continuity of input: The AI needs to be constantly "on", constantly receiving input of some sort, and constantly able to produce output, rather than being strictly limited to producing discrete responses to discrete stimuli.

Why can't it be conscious merely while the computation is running? You aren't constantly on, you're ostensibly only conscious 16-20 hours every day, while you're not sleeping.

> Continuity of learning: In addition, the AI needs to be continually update its "mental model" of the world—in effect, constantly "learning" and re-training its neural network on the input it receives.

I'm not sure what learning has to do with consciousness, and I'm absolutely certain you don't either. I frankly find it hard to believe that Zen Buddhists are not conscious during their meditations, despite having empty minds and not "constantly updating their mental models of the world-in-effect".

> But I, personally, believe they are both necessary for it to be even worth starting to consider whether a given AI might be. And I believe that consciousness is a prerequisite for sentience.

See, this is what I'm talking about. That's a fine personal belief, but that belief does not rise to the level of expert testimony of the facts even if you are a machine learning expert.

People have made all sorts of assumptions about the human mind that they have never questioned but take as obvious fact, and then pontificate that AI is clearly not doing this, therefore AI cannot share such and such properties with humans. But the fact is, most of those assumptions are just wrong. Without a mechanistic model of how these systems work in the brain we are not going to make a valid comparison against what AI is doing.

I agree in general that we can set some bounds, but those bounds are neither as firm as, nor are they placed where most people think.
> I was trying to make sense of what, behind the PR and the charitable donations and the lobbying, Bankman-Fried actually believes about what’s right and what’s wrong — and especially the ethics of what he did and the industry he worked in.

This seems like a weird thing to worry about right now, I imagine my question would be "hey, where'd all the deposits go?" Like, I'm sure it's all interesting in a psychological and sociological way, but "what does SBF really believe" feels like it should take a back seat to what did he do. That's much more interesting! It's easy for someone like SBF to just say stuff about what's going on in his head, whether it's true or not. But, we're talking about real (and, okay, a lot of fake) money here.

There's this weird assumption in a lot of reporting that a rich person must have interesting things to say, or beliefs that are worth getting to the bottom of. Sometimes that's true, but sometimes they're just not very interesting people. Which is fine! Lots of people aren't very interesting, but really rich people get to be treated as interesting even if they're actually boring.
Except everyone currently understands that to mean the opposite of what it means.

If I made it sound like there's something like IntelliSense today, apologies! We've got <https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/blob/master/haskell-...>, but it's type-a-command-and-do-a-search: it's not linked in with completion directly in the setups I've seen.

(In practice, I'm usually starting from a slightly different place: I know I want a Frob and I've got a This and a That, so I do :hoogle This -> That -> Frob and get some options. The thought-process is working backwards from the goal more than forwards from one key object in focus. A different way of working, but I'm not convinced it's less effective.)

My point though was that it's an engineering issue, not a fundamental language limitation. ie not a reason all future languages should shun haskell features. The building blocks to do better at completion than haskell curently does are there.

I completely understand where the author is coming from. I did literally the same thing. I am fortunate to be in a similar circumstance where I have the savings to weather the storm. The only difference is I was working for a highly dysfunctional manager and team. Towards the last days before I resigned, I was nearly on the brink of panic attacks from every meeting I had with my manager. I could see that my skills as a developer in doing actual, meaningful work had severely atrophied in a short period of time. To anyone that had to make difficult decisions like this, do what is best for you and your loved ones because a job shouldn't define you.

> I'd love to see someone downvoting me provide a compelling response to the full source available here under the MIT license

You are literally pointing to a github repo in order to respond to a complain about how MS makes github repos just to create the false appearence that their software is FLOSS.

For example, the C/C++ parser also appears to claim to be "MIT" licensed if you go to the repository:

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/blob/main/LICEN...

However, it actually is not, by evidenced by the two line disclaimer at the beginning of that file. The entire thing is absolutely useless without the gigantic 100MB intellisense binary. Most definitely this does NOT rely on any functionality provided by "3rd party servers". It is entirely offline, 1st party code, that gets surreptitiously installed alongside the FLOSS "package". Likewise for C#, likewise for debugging, likewise for remote development, and a very long etc.

If this is not misleading, I don't know what is. The core editor being free is just a red herring here; most people think of VS code as an IDE, and are therefore disappointed by the "core editor" functionality offered by VSCodium. In fact, people will routinely ask me "why can't I use VS Code on RISC-V, if it's FLOSS?". These are knowledgeable people, and yet they are mislead by this.
I was thinking specifically of the 'add with shift' instructions in the Zba extension (sh[123]add[.w] they seems to be called) vs. using separate shift + add instructions from the C extension and hope the CPU frontend will fuse them together. Code size would be the same, and assuming the CPU fuses them they should be pretty close performance-wise as well.
It would be the resulting spool file that gets measured, not the source Doc file.

"Let's be very honest again," Bolden said in a 2014 interview. "We don't have a commercially available heavy lift vehicle. Falcon 9 Heavy may someday come about. It's on the drawing board right now. SLS is real.

So if I were you I would shut up, just in case, given that SLS flew 7 years later than expected and Bolden was destroyed for his laughable interview.

Falcon heavy is delivering real payloads, Starship will do the same soon, SLS will maybe fly another time of two before retirement.

I can’t wait to see your post next time that SLS will fly.
Though I am a big fan of Elon Musk's Boring company I think his used of modified Tesla's to transport people in the tunnels isn't the best idea.

The old streetcars, like in Detroit, used to attach to an overhead wire to power themselves. I think you could have normal train cars using this method. In other words use the electric grid as opposed to batteries. I can't imagine a battery fire in an enclosed area like a tunnel.

Much better than NYC's subway using a live third rail which I believe has killed more people falling on to the tracks than the trains themselves.

but the banks are just distributing the donations they have available. it could be cereal today and green beans tomorrow (thats what i helped package when we volunteered as an org). they're not setup to store a truck load of frozen greenbeans just hoping that in the next day or 3 they get the rest of a meal.

and i believe its to supplement the recipients pantry not be a one stop shop for groceries. hey we got cereal and greenbeans this week from FoodBankXYZ. saves us from having to buy cereal and vegetables with our snap this week!

"Shell Shock" of course being the feeling when you discover that you are not using bash 4+

=== End joke section ===

Shell shock has a genuinely complex and interesting history. It has described different conditions, had different connotations and value judgements, and had different supposed causes over time.

As I understand it, shell shock has at least two very real components: Traumatic brain injury and Post traumatic stress disorder - they are often found together, and they act together to make things much worse than either by themselves. Mainstream understanding of the harm of repeated mild traumatic brain injury is very recent, relatively speaking.
My daughter went from 18 months through 8th grade and my wife runs the school so, as you may guess, we are big fans. One thing to look for is the certifications. In the US there are (at least) two main Montessori Certification groups, AMI & AMS. The school my wife runs is AMI but I think AMS would be just as good.

What is slightly different than other experiences here is that the school is a Charter school which poses some challenges but does offer Montessori beyond the normal tuition based model.

As for my daughter, her transition has been fairly smooth. The high school she goes to has more than 10x the students as her old school so is much larger. On the other hand, her grades are good, and she is involved in a number of clubs too.

Montessori is not for everyone but I definitely recommend checking it out.

> Bankman-Fried has maintained that FTX has never invested the deposits of crypto account holders on the exchange. I pressed him on that point via Twitter, and while he continued to insist that FTX did not directly use account money in this way, he said that Alameda — which he also owns — had borrowed far more money from FTX’s balance sheet for investments than he had realized, which ultimately left FTX vulnerable to the crypto equivalent of a bank run.

> Why didn’t Bankman-Fried realize what was happening until it was too late? “Sometimes life creeps up on you,” he said.

This is the central issue of the case. There aren't many paths for an exchange to experience a run unless it's acting like a fractional reserve bank.

So here's an admission that Alameda borrowed from the FTX balance sheet. There's also a denial that FTX invested deposits. There's no way for both statements to be true.
We are arguing past each other.

I 100% agree that electronic records require active upkeep. I am not arguing, nor have I ever argued, that they can outlast a discontinuity of civilization. If your threat model is addressing that risk, then electronic media is a poor solution. If your threat model instead wants to preserve huge quantity of information in an easily accessible format and you can assume the continued availability of electricity and maintenance, electronic media (with active upkeep) is a better option than durable physical record-keeping.

I was (and still am) just pointing out that different "solutions" apply to different problems. There _is no_ single "problem in this context" - I agree that one of the solutions is ill-suited to the problem you're choosing to highlight, while maintaining that it is well-suited to another problem.

(Please note that I'm not /u/samatman!)
This is further evidence that he was thinking of this in terms of all-or-nothing coin flips. In case you haven't seen it:

COWEN: Okay, but let’s say there’s a game: 51 percent, you double the Earth out somewhere else; 49 percent, it all disappears. Would you play that game? And would you keep on playing that, double or nothing?

BANKMAN-FRIED: With one caveat. Let me give the caveat first, just to be a party pooper, which is, I’m assuming these are noninteracting universes. Is that right? Because to the extent they’re in the same universe, then maybe duplicating doesn’t actually double the value because maybe they would have colonized the other one anyway, eventually.

COWEN: But holding all that constant, you’re actually getting two Earths, but you’re risking a 49 percent chance of it all disappearing.

BANKMAN-FRIED: Again, I feel compelled to say caveats here, like, “How do you really know that’s what’s happening?” Blah, blah, blah, whatever. But that aside, take the pure hypothetical.

COWEN: Then you keep on playing the game. So, what’s the chance we’re left with anything? Don’t I just St. Petersburg paradox you into nonexistence?

BANKMAN-FRIED: Well, not necessarily. Maybe you St. Petersburg paradox into an enormously valuable existence. That’s the other option.

(See the first paragraph of https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/BZ6XaCwN4QGgH9CxF/the-kelly-... for the outline of an explanation of why his reasoning was not applicable to most real-life scenarios. This is pretty subtle; >95% of the explanations on the Internet I've seen over the past week as to why SBF is "obviously wrong" don't actually work.)

Maybe I'm speaking too soon, but he does seem ready to accept that he lost this flip. It would obviously be insane to trust with him anything big at this point, but I'm optimistic that he won't fight to the bitter end.
But stealing and then losing customer deposits "was never the intention"

You know, "Sometimes life creeps up on you" and then the customer deposits you stole are gone!

He's clearly innocent, so he has nothing to worry about.
This is a red herring and considering that RISC-V binaries are generally the same size or smaller than x86, there are certainly code sequences where RISC-V is much smaller for the same code.

Another interesting metric is that x86 average instruction length is 4.25 bytes[0] which further implies that x86 instructions are only getting longer as time goes by. Meanwhile, RISC-V should continue to get more dense as new instructions are added.

In my mind, an alcoholic is someone that has a dependency on alcohol, but not all people with AUD have a dependency on alcohol. For example, I think binge-drinking consistently (college students on weekends, for example) can be considered to have a mild AUD, but that person is not necessarily an "alcoholic" -- at least not what the average person considers to be an an alcoholic.

defense in layers. no single mechanism wins the trophy.
to be clear:

- he lent his own hedge fund $8b collateralized by tokens he controlled issuance of (FTT, SRM, MAPS, OXY). At full size, the liquidation price of these tokens was 0 (he also purchased billions worth of FTT off the market when he could print them himself for free?).

- Sensing alameda was insolvent and customer funds were misappropriated, customers withdrew until they ran out of liquidity.

- Withdrawals were suspended

- Citing Bahamian authorities requests to unfreeze assets of bahamian residents, withdrawals were opened back up for bahamian residents. Hundreds of millions were withdrawn. Bahamian authorities have since made statements that no such requests were made (so this was just insiders stealing even more).

- Approx $500m of assets were drained from FTX wallets at the same time as FTX databse records were cleared (obviously not a hack, just insiders stealing even more).

- SBF goes on twitter to make new one-letter tweets while simultaneously deleting incriminating tweets so as to not trigger deletion bots picking up that he deleted said tweets.

Ongoing theft and destruction of evidence out in the open after stealing 10 billion dollars from over 1 million depositors. SBF has still not been arrested. This all but confirms the wildest of conspiracy theories.
