1 - according to a lot of reports from other people fired these past few days, there is no internal conversation about anything substantial, they learn more about his point of view and/or what he doesn't like in their job from his twitter posts

2 - no matter what, as a manager you are the "face" of the team and while internally you are in charge of letting people know what's wrong in their code etc ... It is extremly bad form to push the problem down to the members of your team when talking in a public facing situation. You're the manager, it's your team, you're the face, and you're also the face of the problems. No matter how deep down or high up in the chain you are, if you manage a team and behave like what Elon did in the original tweet this guy answers to, I guarantee you no one on your team respects you.

3 - the guy is in a firing spree to try and justify his overpriced unwanted purchase, and then goes on to take a dump on the work of this engineer in public with a factually wrong comment. No matter if you're my employer, you have no right to damage my reputation based on false allegations in public just to help your ego.
I think it's difficult to quantify "best", but I left an SWE job to run my own business in a low-tech, "dirty" job[1] where software, automation and mathematical decision making is typically not applied.

Currently out-earning a typical senior engineer, working maybe 30 hours a week and regularly taking time away from work to spend with my wife and young daughter.

And all the mathematical breakthroughs needed to crack Enigma and make it tractable to the primitive computers of the day were made by the Poles anyway, which was conveniently airbrushed from history.
Ask HN: Best code editor for remote machine which is using Cyberark PSM
In my Org, Cyberark PSM is used as proxy to connect to remote server. I need to code in remote machine, so I tried VS Code, after quite some fighting ended up in dead end, as the PSM always gives random port, can't be authorized. Anyone have any success , any help appreciated

The numbers coming out of China are self-reported and unconfirmed - thus completely bogus.
Are you still, three years after the initial outbreak, continuing this nonsense? None of your talking points make sense and have been repeatedly shattered into the brittle sophistry that they are.

No, but I was just commenting about the license itself. At any rate, this is obviously not a regular thing to begin with.
90km/h? I've come to the same conclusion. It felt too slow at first but I got used to it. It's safer, more economical, speed cameras aren't a problem and traffic pretty much dissappears. I don't think I can ever go back to driving faster, there are too many benefits.

>You might be thinking, wait, if there are infinitely many things to narrow down, couldn’t the game take infinitely long? Theoretically, maybe, but in practice, no. This is kind of a paradox. Even though we can conceive of infinitely many things, any particular thing will be guessable in a finite number of questions. After all, the answerer can only reach so far into the infinite depths of the universe before they decide on a thing

It's probably not like the answerer has access to more than, say, 1M things - I mean as things they can juggle in their mind and pick among.

Let's say recording artists: there are 100s of thousands of them globally. But a regular person will perhaps know/recall at best 100-1000 max distinct ones, even if they have heard 2x or 3x others. And they'd be the most likely another would know too.

Or let's take numbers: those can be constructed (you don't need to know a number ahead of time to think of it - I can think of 2345324532435245 but I didn't have that in mind as something I've encountered already, I just know that that would be a number, I just need to pile on digits to come up with one). So, yes, this would overflow the "set of items to pick". But "I'm thinking of the specific number X" is not commonly or ever part of the 20 answers game.

(Still, if the first N questions make it clear that it's a number that was picked, the next 20 - N ones could try to binary search it).

Or let's consider animals and insect: there are 20,000 types of beetles alone. But nobody will put an unknown "beetle type X" (say, "Sitophilus granarius") as the item they think. They'll either think of "beetle" in general, or at best some well known beetle type.

One insight is that if the other person doesn't even know of the thing you have in mind, or is not fun guessing it with questions (like a specific huge number), then it makes no sense to pick it, as part of the implicit game rules is for others to have a chance and everybody to have some fun (as opposed to "win at all costs").
It's also a slap in the face to non western scientists who ended up contributing despite all odds. Imagine telling Satyendranath Bose that the theory of Bose condensates is just as valid as random tribal animism.
funnily enough, dedicated strength training (i.e. heavy squats) is one of the most effective methods to improve the performance of endurance athletes (especially cyclists).

I think Team Topologies, which the article mentions, is a pretty foundational book. Not just that it's full of wisdom, but it's so useful to have the vocabulary to wrangle with these problems and their potential solutions. And as a bonus they even wrote a small followup about remote work. Both are highly recommended reading if you work in an organisation with any number of teams greater than 1.
I think it is the "Note:" sektion at the bottom, but yes no Star.
Except in that model it would be fine to return an error as soon as soon as you know there is an EOF while in the real world you do want to read right up to the EOF because EOF is usually not an error condition but expected, even with streams of indeterminate length.

There's so much rampant speculation in this article... for me it lost a degree of credibility around the point he fixated on the drug aspect. Despite all the disclaimers.

Yes, it paints one picture of how the losses could have added up, but I'm looking forward to more exhaustively investigated reports grounded in more than heresay and gossip.

Without knowing which specific country you're talking about this discrepancy exists, I cannot comment on that, but I'm sure that (except for inward remittance, which is converted to Argentinean pesos) Wise is not available in Argentina.
That's not true. The set of numbers between 0 and 1 is uncountable, which means that has a cardinality bigger than the natural numbers, ie: you can't build a bijection between [0, 1] and the natural numbers. Therefore, to fully specify any number in [0, 1] you'll need an infinite number of guesses.

A $3M monthly AWS bill. that's a nugget here. What that means is that amazon, Microsoft, and google are essentially selling shovels during a gold rush. On a subscription basis. In a form that makes it tedious and costly to actually figure out how many shovels your business has, what they do and who uses them regularly.

Essentially, when there's a digital market hype, the big cloud providers collect their share on the revenue. Brilliant.
Makes some sense. When stuff is messy, you can do financially stupid things. I've sat on desks that lost money from not realizing some very simple things like having options with upcoming dividends. If SBF really was on drugs and playing League of Legends badly, perhaps he also didn't know what was happening in his shop.

But... you have all this money. Hire an adult? Almost anyone who's had a trading desk job would tell you to clean up. You don't need to have much experience to do this part, just get one of your friends that you must know from the business?

Also, WTF would this say about Ontario Teachers' Pension Fund or Sequioa if the whole team was on drugs, playing games all day, and having no idea what their balance sheet looks like? I actually got Ontario into a fund I was at, and we'd have lost the investment if we hadn't behaved like adults. This is causing me some cognitive dissonance, because I don't think of the investors as the kind of people who'd even smile if they found me in the office playing a video game, let alone addled on drugs.

Also about the market making strats not working anymore, I don't see why they'd even need it. Once the exchange is jump started and you have WM/Jump/JS on board, there's MMs on the platform and it feeds itself. Just keep marketing running. Hand out some FTT or something to retail. Do silly advertisements. Just turn off the algo that doesn't work.
I liked the chapter in Nate Sivers' Signal and the Noise when he talks about how hard it is to know if you're a good professional poker player.

Been a while since I read it but feel like even after a couple of years of winning games and tracking his own performance, he had enough stats knowledge to realise that he didn't actually know if he was good or just lucky. The noise swamped the signal.

This feels relevant to many of these trading things where people start to believe their own BS.

If you've flipped a coin and it's came up heads 10 times in a row, why wouldn't you bet everything on it happening again? You're really good at getting heads when you flip. Humans aren't really built for that kind of thing.
The person who wrote this post is pretty well known in the crypto space. Not saying that what was written here is guaranteed to be accurate, but it's likely to be much closer to reality than what the New York Times put out.

> PayPal is not a bank

Last time I checked they sure as hell have a banking license and operate in Luxembourg. Wikipedia says:

"Since July 2007, PayPal has operated across the European Union as a Luxembourg-based bank." [1]

I suppose they're not a bank in USA, but the world (and HN readership) is bigger than USA (also bigger than where I'm from; EU).

Looks great. Are there any more advanced example projects?
Not planning to, but this still really saddens me.

You can have grievances about what happened here (and I'm sure many do), but the overtly sexual attacks on Caroline Ellison should disgust us all.

This isn't a defence of anyone's actions. If crimes have been committed, they should be investigated and prosecuted. If no crime has been committed, maybe regulation should be introduced - or maybe people should learn a valuable lesson about what happens when you go out of your way to engage in investments that derive their gains from dodging consumer protection regulations.

In any case, the attacks on Caroline Ellison reflect really badly on the worst stereotypes of Crypto Bros as a whole - even though I'm certain it's a tiny minority of people involved in them.

>no customer service

I own a Tesla and have had no problems with customer service.

What I do have a problem with is negotiating a price for a vehicle from a slimy dealership agent who have a litany of techniques to increase their profit for no good reason. On the Tesla website the price you pay is the price that everyone pays.
"their systems became unprofitable" - "Alameda & FTX jointly continued to lose large amounts of money" - "uncompetitive market-making strategies, risky lending practices" - "erratic behavior and unprofitable gambling".

They sound an awful lot like trading / accidental losses than malice to me.
> I'd much rather have the city than not.

I think cities are great, but it's nice to leave the city. And with more intelligent lights, we can have lighting when and where we need it. And with lower air pollution, enjoy breathing better and see more stars in the sky.

> Give me a sky full of moving points of light any night.

But at what point does that just become noise? A shooting star is magic. Seeing the ISS float by is a novelty. But a crisscrossing streams of satellites... I'm sure that would get old quick.
No need for conspiracy, plenty of evidence that's exactly what happens.

Twitter might provide more information than the NYT, but there's a reason NYT doesn't publish it - because the NYT wants to be reliable. They want their claims to actually stand up to scrutiny and be an accurate portrayal of the events we know happened. Whereas big chunks of this article are just pure speculation. The whole section about how Alameda might have had a rogue algo are just made up out of whole cloth. Is it true? Who knows, there's certainly no evidence for it, but let's stick it down as $1Bn of loss anyway.

This article is very little more than just a gossip rag version of the NYT article.
You speak as if "HN" is some dude with multiple personality disorder.
I’ve been to pretty wild places with stark skies, though didn’t especially care to observe it at the time to be honest.

Goes without arguing that outside of a city is generally easier to observe night sky because pollution is weaker. However, if the place far from a city has polluted air for whatever reason it’ll still be a problem—and conversely even in a city air and light pollution are not a given, subject to regulations and climate patterns.

I’ve seen our Milky Way, not in HK but in another city (smaller but stronger air pollution). It was very weak (first, air pollution amplifying light pollution; second, it was not too high above the horizon when I was awake), but not seeing it in all of its glory doesn’t mean city dwellers have to concede that they lost the sky completely even now, much less 100 years ago—because they obviously haven’t.
Immediately caught my eye as a vacation destination!

I have only experienced the US version firsthand, but hearing from EU friends, it seems the EU prices are more-or-less set in stone and the haggling potential in the US can get you a better deal if you are savvy and patient (and then say no at every “value-add”).

Of course that comes at the cost of customer experience.
We all conflate success with merit and competence but in reality is much more complex than that. Having the means (cash) and insight or luck to make a bet at the right time gets you most of the way there. For the rest, you don't have to be that competent, just not completely incompetent.

Elons biggest virtue is his stubbornness on two very successful bets, those two finance and cover all of his other failures (and successes) and character flaws. For now, at least.

He's always been a shitty boss and terrible people manager. But where are you going to work if you want to be around the sexiest rockets ever made? Or even the new hotness all electric vehicle? At least for Tesla, the appeal is diminishing but the market for hardware engineers and embedded is much different than general software and there is plenty of dumb people who think is cool to work under him, he has infinite cannon fodder to burn.

His biggest mistake with twitter is to buy a company where revenue is tied to public relations and being a person who despises public relations with a passion. There is no product to sell and optimize, he didn't get a good idea that needs polishing and perfecting, he has to come up with one. That is much, much harder.
Japan closed its borders for almost three years and it didn't save them at all.

> But you can also think of any real number

I don't think that's true. We can certainly think of certain numbers which we gave a name to and have defined it in some way. But there are a _lot_ of real numbers.

We could think about it this way: we can only describe (and therefore think of) numbers using a finite number of symbols out of a finite alphabet. That makes it only countable.

I’d say that Madoff was a Ponzi Scheme. It seems, what Bankman-Fried et al have pulled off was more of stealing other people’s money and probably washing money, both for political purposes. They have donated other people’s money to Dem’s and have paid visits to the Biden White House. And, considering how billions have been sent to one of the most corrupt countries in the world (Ukraine; according to Transparency), I am not the first one to think that probably some of that money was laundered and used for elections or even for personal gain. It wouldn’t be the first time (Hunter’s “Laptop from hell”).

(I am not an US American. And I don’t care for either the Democrats nor the Republicans.)
Unsure why this is downvoted.

It’s funded through taxes. It’s a badly disguised front organisation. It’s about as independent from the government as Transport for London.

> We are funded through a number of channels:

membership fees from higher education providers

contracts and agreements with the UK funding councils and organisations to which QAA reports annually

private contracts, consultancy and business development work in the UK and internationally

statutory fees from providers for work on behalf of the regulator in England

fees and maintenance charges paid by providers of higher education seeking educational oversight for immigration purposes as required by the Home Office.

They hide how the various funding streams tot up, presumably to maintain the incredibly thin veneer of a pretence they’re not a government body.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the group.

> Rust gets this right, with the hindsight of C++’s example: “a = b” is a move operation by default and clone() is always explicit

Note that a move can still do a copy; in fact, Rust is kinda notorious for generating more on-stack memory copy operations than C++. It’s slowly improving, but it can still be surprisingly bad in some cases.
