Libraries pay the ordinary retail price (or less from a bulk discount). They sometimes buy books with (more expensive) sturdier binding, expecting it to be used more heavily.

There's a slide deck floating around[1] purported to be from Alameda research in 2018. That deck claims they offer 15% fixed returns to investors. If that slide deck is genuine, it seems possible that the unaccounted for money at Alameda Research went to paying for redemptions by early investors. Given how bad the accounting at FTX/Alameda seems to be, it seems possible to me that Alameda investors were paid back at high APYs even as the underlying strategies performed poorly, and the people at the top might not be aware that they were heading towards insolvency. If this is the case, it would be close to a pure Ponzi.

Now I don't really know how likely this is because there's very little public information about Alameda. It's also possible that Alameda bought Doge and Shiba which proceeded to crash 10x.

It's pretty hard to estimate the number of users from just on-chain data, since change from a transaction usually goes to a fresh address. That makes every single transaction appear to create a fresh "wallet".
Love this idea. Most people subvocalize when they read, and my guess is the same for when they write. As for subvocalizing when we think, I have no idea, but I suppose if one were engaged in “talking to oneself” type thinking, that it could be possible that many subvocalize their internal monologues.

Is there some kind of sensor that one could wear that would be unobtrusive enough to measure subvocalization? If so, building a training dataset for an ML model would be as simple as having many people read and write a significant amount of text while using the sensor.

Even better if that text corpus overlaps with text that has been used to train text-to-speech models like Whisper, as you might get away with knowledge transfer with such a model.

It’s definitely worth looking into!

I taught myself react the quick and dirty way, because I had to (company wanted to use it, and there were no one else willing and able to do it, or to teach me). It's not that long ago, yet useEffect wasn't even around then. I could probably make use of a book about it.

It also probably doesn't help that I taught myself JavaScript the same way, at the same time.

There was a website shown on HN a few years ago that used AI and plane transponder data to find circling planes which were presumably doing this kind of surveillance over American cities. It might have used further parameters to narrow it down, e.g. “over a city, circling for >3 hours” to rule out planes waiting to land. I thought it was named something simple like “plane-circles.com” but I’m not having any luck finding it again.

Explicitly enforcing biases towards a particular ideological project is not "unbiasing", though, it's more bias.

First off, super glad to hear your friends are out of the field safe.

Want to address one point however: "The SOS button is very expensive. Extremely expensive"

In my experience on multiple SAR teams (Search and Rescue), this is almost never the case in North America.
Search and Rescue is one of the few services that is almost uniformly free [1]. Thousands and thousands of volunteer hours every year keep it that way.
In fact, the two most prominent professional organizations for SAR (NASAR [2] & MRA [3]) both have longstanding policies that teams should not
charge for rescue. On a personal level, I can tell you that the majority of the rescues/recoveries I have worked in the last decade would have been
easier or led to a better outcome if the subject had called earlier. Embarrassment and fear of cost are the two primary reasons I have had subjects
quote as the reasons they delayed calling for rescue, even after they knew self-rescue would not be possible. When you realize self-rescue isn't possible,
call us early.

> Teaching a young inexperienced driver “just always keep one car length” where one = safe, is meaningless.

Not if taught correctly, which I think it's important to note that we can't really do via textual communication.

In the driver's seat, during a driver's education course, you might learn that a car length is the length of an average car, but you also learn how to count the seconds of stopping distance you have in front of you. In addition, you learn that weather, traffic, and other factors can affect stopping power/distance, the point being that the whole system is incredibly dynamic and variable.

One can't reduce a dynamic traffic situation down to "X car lengths = safe." Similarly, saying "1 car length = a safe distance" doesn't really help either.

The idea is to teach people what "safety" actually looks like. How it's referred to is secondary. The proof is in how badly I was misunderstood when I said 1-2 car lengths. I _know_ I'm keeping enough distance, because I know how to judge a safe traffic situation.

I don't really care what a car length is or isn't, it's fairly irrelevant because safety is a much bigger picture than units of measurement.
The body cam footage is a good example, it's deeply hated by the police and a frequent source of incriminatory evidence against the wearer.

Brexit had zero impact on me that I know of and even if it did, there is literally nothing I could do about it given I’m not a UK citizen. Likewise, I don’t don’t recall being asked to vote on the war in Ukraine.

I have to focus on this I can control and things that impact me directly and most of that happens at the local level, where I actually have power as an individual.

National and international news is almost worthless, it makes me worry over things I have no means of controlling and frankly? My mental health is more important to me than keeping up with news in far off places.
In my experience it’s more like a guided meditation. An audiobook (esp non-fiction) doesn’t tell you what to think on your run, it tells you what to think about.

This Sunday I read The Inner Game of Tennis on a single long run. It was fantastic.

No idea what the book said specifically, but the thought process it sparked and revelations it guided about my own psychology, how to approach teaching workshops, how to train team members, how to create psychological safety on teams, how to get out of a funk, what to focus on when writing books and articles, … wonderful. Amazing. Loved it. Everyone should read this book. Preferably while walking or running.
I'm curious why this tool's existence was necessary? If you have/had a business account, sweeping is free and built in - your onboarding rep would have even helped you configure it.

If you abused a personal account... well that may be a clue into why your account was frozen. PayPal only makes money off business accounts and their transactional fees... if you tried to circumvent that and were obviously operating a business, then they would have good reason to freeze your account.

Also, PayPal hasn't been part of eBay since 2014ish...

That moment when a European finally begins to understand just how big North America is. I'm surprised it still happens on HN, but it's so fundamental to many of the discussions here. There's always someone saying "why does America suck so much" while thinking themselves so smart, as if there aren't good engineers across the globe. There's usually a good reason things are the way they are, and it's not that you're the only smart person in the world.

Honestly it depends on the type of work.

If you are essentially freelancing full time, consider changing your billing to daily or weekly rates anyway.

If you are doing highly specialized work that relies on experience & knowledge, do hourly, only for focused work, and bill high enough that your "slack" hours are covered anyway (e.g. target approx 1000hr/yr actual billed will cover your salary needs).

The "real" answer if you want the best return for your time is move to project level billing, not time, if you can with your clients.

Sometimes your clients will drive how you can bill anyway, of course.

The article does appear to have a bizarrely light-hearted tone given the magnitude of what transpired:

>"But in a wide-ranging interview on Sunday that stretched past midnight, he sounded surprisingly calm. “You would’ve thought that I’d be getting no sleep right now, and instead I’m getting some,” he said. “It could be worse."

For a self-professed "wide-ranging interview" it actually provides scant if any meaningful details to support the headline of "How Sam Bankman-Fried’s Crypto Empire Collapsed."

Of the few details the editor and author chose to include:

>“You would’ve thought that I’d be getting no sleep right now, and instead I’m getting some,” he said. “It could be worse.”

>“Had I been a bit more concentrated on what I was doing, I would have been able to be more thorough,” he said. “That would have allowed me to catch what was going on on the risk side.”

Had I been a bit more concentrated on what I was doing? This reads like "aw shucks, the phone rang and I got distracted." This can not be taken seriously. Is this meant to answer the "How" in the article's title?

>"Mr. Bankman-Fried’s circle of colleagues was bound by a commitment to effective altruism, a charitable movement that urges adherents to give away their wealth in efficient and logical ways."

So he was a charitable man? Just with other people's money?

And then of course this important bit:

>"He has also found other ways to occupy his time in recent days, playing the video game Storybook Brawl, though less than he usually does, he said. “It helps me unwind a bit,” he said. “It clears my mind.”

Yes the NYTimes included the line about DOJ and SEC, but it fails to mention why these two department are "examining" this man's now "crumbled empire."
this is just a grab by a corporation because they see ppl are centralizing on certain servers. Mastodon't.

As mentioned elsewhere here it's lame that servers have niche silos that convos aren't always fediversed out. It's crappy moving social network into that other thing ppl are trying to get back to: forums. Don't want it.
The maps used to expire after 30 days, but is now 365 days. I agree: it’s arbitrary and unnecessary.

I remember playing Leisure Suit Larry at 8 or 9 years old. They'd test you to make sure you were over 18 but if you said you were over 99, it would just reply "No you're not" and boot you.

Have an upvote for the adaptive cruise control comment. It's this way on the Tesla, too - follow distance is described as car lengths, but it's actually speed-parameterized follow distances in reality.

Personally, I find it somewhat confusing, but people should probably be more aware that it's a thing and not necessarily someone mixing up terminology.

My late wife has a PayPal account.
When she died I wanted to put my name on the account.
They requested a Death Certificate, which I provided.
They acknowledged the Death Certificate then demanded prof that she was dead, before they would transfer the account to my control.

I even talked to a Lawyer about this, who also got really pissed off at PayPal's attitude. Alas there is no money in the account so he said there really wasn't anything to do.

The only person that can close the account seems to be my dead wife, and she appears to have no current interests in PayPal's shenanigans'.

Research.

If I'm researching something, I'll open more than 200 tabs. With Tree Style Tabs, each Google or Kagi search is a top-level tab, and each link I open from that gets opened in a sub tab. When I'm done, I'll store the useful tabs organized in an org-mode file - I have an Emacs script which grabs the currently-open tab URL and Title from Mozilla's sqlite database and adds them in org-mode link format to the current document (I can post it if anyone wants it). I can then close all that mess.
Toyota has a good one: it gives me a beep and turns the screen red, but I have to start braking by myself, at which point it takes over and adjusts braking force so as to not hit whatever is in front of me.

Over the course of the five years I had this car it prevented a collision twice this way.

Good for them, I "pirate" content legally since I pay huge fees in Czechia from each storage media (last time I bought 64GB flashdrive, the copyright fees were more than cost of the flash drive), so I can legally download copy of any movie, TV show or music for my own use.
