The entire finance industry isn't corrupt. It might want to be, but then it's tightly monitored and regulated so it can't be this corrupt. "Oops we misplaced over half our customer deposits" is just not a thing that happens in real banking or financial exchanges. In crypto companies though, it's business as usual.
Vast.ai already does that, it's fine if you're working on public datasets, but big no-no if you're working with private/expensive datasets imo.
Sure, but saying "this is a scam" is totally different from a pointed question you can relay to a less sophisticated third party(the journo) that, when asked, would "totally annihilate" SBF/FTX.

So where is it? Did they keep the question to themselves, even though they could just tweet it at SBF and have almost 100k followers see it, who could then amplify it?
Doesn’t seem kosher at all. Seems like using resources from a public company to enrich your private company. It’s kind of like telling your employees to clean your toilets at the mansion after work.
Does it strand legitimate scientists or does it indicate that there is corruption in science? From what I'm hearing, this whole FTX thing reeks of clever, politically connected fraud and money laundering:

I still get rather angry when I read about what happened to that aeroplane. Putin will pay one way or the other, that's for sure.
Good article. Advice has to be dispensed with humility and the one on the receiving end should take advice with some degree of skepticism. Nevertheless, passing wisdom to the next generation can offer a significant head start on various life matters for those willing to listen (e.g., "don't try to change people", etc.) Of course, some lessons can only be learned the hard way unfortunately.
There is this misconception that fusion is far in the future. But these startups are aiming at commercial fusion before 2030. For instance, Helion plans for net electricity by 2024, in two years. Maybe the employees and the investors of these companies are fooling themselves and this will never happen. But they could succeed...

I am just providing pointers so people could have a look and juge by themselves. I was pretty convinced by Helion and ZAP, less by TAE.

Because we are on HN, I can mention that Sam Altman invested $375M of his own money in Helion, so he is indeed a true believer.
I would say that 1) the experience varies by team 2) there's a lot of truth to that. But it's not a matter of being sacred, but the (sad) fact that Amazon being a ruthlessly data-driven business, investment on the tools and on reducing technical debt (real or perceived) is always prioritized down in OP1s.
Basically, doing a group by at millisecond resolution with a sum on the IP packet length to get a rough metric for bandwidth.

Once you have that, you can see the milliseconds with the highest bandwidth. Some extra math can also get you to Gigabits/second in a more network engineer friendly format.
It's so weird, I had seen that profile a few days ago. Everything about him screams charlatan. The profile images, the "thoughtful" pose, his "I'm getting interviewed", "I'm a speaker" and his "I have an audience watching me dance", it just screams it. Then I went to his website and it ups the volume to 11. He even has a corny motto "Do good - Do it consistently - Be patient".

I'm sure lots of people fall for it and think he's legit. Is that just an age thing or are some people just that gullible and when you have global reach via Twitter and Instagram, you'll find them all?
I only apply to roles that permit Rust, Crystal, Go, Erlang/Elixir, Clojure, or Racket.

I have such fond memories of the ZX-Spectrum. I learned how to program machine code using it (hand translates from Z80 assembler) when I was 11 years old. No internet. Nobody I could ask for help. Just a book explaining how to do machine code programming on a ZX-Spectrum. The satisfaction of getting this working was amazing to me.
Obsolete means no longer in use or useful. It's been argued in this thread that it's both in use and useful. But yes, there are more secure protocols that overlap with most of what telnet can be used for.
As far as it’s about intelligence, don’t the author suffer the navel- glazing biais to only consider intelligence in one dimension, as an individual characteristic.

Human like many others species is a social species. And collective intelligence is what emerge from social interaction in a cohesive group.

A bee hive is able to solve geometrical series, while none of individuals in the hive is able to solve it by himself.

Human are not différents and collective intelligence is what truly exists and is important despite all the individualism propaganda.

So there might be a curse of intelligence at individual scale. But we don’t have to worry about it. Because individual intelligence as almost not importance compared to collective intelligence.

In fact it’s almost the opposite, the curse of intelligence can only exists in individualistic environment when no feedback is provided, by censorship, or silencing process from the inner rules defining the social link between individuals.

For instance I would suggest reading the “gossip trap”’from Erik Hoel explaining how archaic social structure based on personal branding as the only sustainable way to survive in the group is destroying civilisation and pushing the group back in barbaric time.

Managing you own notoriety and personal branding is the core aim of social media. With this new category of influencers.

There is no curse of intelligence. There os curse of social mediation which fails to modulate individual intelligence in the benefit of the collective intelligence.

Yes, they were recalled because of it.

Haven't moved on yet (intentionally took some time off to relax and refresh), but I expect I'll have to take a bit of a pay cut.

> I know Amazon compensates very well

That's not been my understanding - I thought it was noticeably below other FAANG companies (at least until the pay hike earlier this year)? I have only just started reaching out to possible employers so I don't really have any points of comparison.
It's around 3% of my pageviews as measured by javascript (e.g. statcounter) but it's 15-20% of my pageviews as seen in my server logs. Now, we might say that the server stats are wrong. But it could also be that the javascript stats are wrong, since firefox comes with tracker blocking. I don't know how to tell.
The laziest way I can imagine for pavement is to turn on the hydronic snowmelt system embedded in the slab.

>Regulations are primarily there for safety concerns, not you complaining about what is honestly a non-issue. If you don't want to pay for premium seats just don't pay for them??

Regulations are also there to curtail monopolistic or "anti-competitive" behavior. What is nickel and diming people who don't have an alternative anything but abusing a monopolistic position? In a healthily competitive market[0] this could be adequately adjusted for.

Agreed on point 3 for modern editors in 2022, as real-time collaboration and collaborative editing are table stakes today if you want to compete. But to give EN credit, when they launched (web 2008?) this was not the case, and a complete rewrite on point 1 could very well be necessary when the new CEO took over recently.

We started with OT [1] in mind for V1 of Taskade [2] with the intention to make our editor collaborative, but it was still a bumpy road before we were able to iterate on the product and speed up our dev cycle,. It continues to be a challenge to support the various use cases and customers, as improvements for offline editing, cross-device syncing, and recovery never ends.

This problem isn't fully solved and there are no perfect out of box solutions.

"Rent-seeking" is blatantly false. Warp is a piece of software that the developers are going to update over time. A subscription model is appropriate for goods and services where the buyers receive value over time due to the continued effort/resources of the producers. You might not want to subscribe to a service or pay for a terminal emulator (I sure don't), but don't lie about it.

"Rent seeking [...] is an economic concept that occurs when an entity seeks to gain added wealth without any reciprocal contribution of productivity."

Searching on eBay for "RTX 3080" and limiting it to sold listings, I see a lot having sold in the last few days for ~$500. Based on how GPU MSRPs have been going, seems like a decent price to me. I was never sure what to expect post-GPU-crypto, were you expecting cheaper?
> have you ever met anyone who thought "steep learning curve" was ambiguous?

Yep, that’s me. When I first encountered this expression it seemed very strange to me (not exactly ambiguous since I guessed the meaning). I envisioned a plot, with a steep curve: x is time, but what’s on y? You see, there are no mountains where I’ve grown up…

Eventually I’ve come to think of it: x is pleasure that you will be able to extract from the game, y is amount you have to learn to extract that pleasure.

But now I do not think much when I hear the expression. “Steep learning curve?” - ok, I know what you mean. Changing the meaning to its opposite would cause me a great confusion, bigger than the first one.
I had enjoyed and even paid for Evernote for several years, until their "restructuring" and they dropped the export of everything but "Evernote Database"... I think they have since restored an export to HTML, but that always was the biggest problem for me... I want to be able to export (and backup) my notes in TXT or MD, not just HTML or their proprietary format.

No idea if they've since added in more reasonable export features, but it was a dealbreaker for me (a big plain-text fan).
For machine learning, self funding my startup and can't afford the expensive server grade gpus. Other countries are usually above msrp + shipping + import tax, would be cheaper to buy from a scalper.

I think diving into his personal life can be very useful with Nietzsche. I can't say the same with every philosopher though. Wonderful Wittgenstein quote, btw.

Nietzsche's almost constant sickness helps explain concepts like the eternal return and will-to-power. Always keep an eye out for "health", "cure", and "convalescence" in his writing (great example: the preface to The Gay Science).

Nietzsche's romantic failures also color his works. I skip large chunks because I can't stomach his sexism.

News to me
Most short regional flights use tiny aircraft. ~9 seaters are surprisingly common in the island hopping industry.

Labor costs are a non issue because the flights are so short. 2 hours of labor from people making 90k split 9 ways is 10$.

And of course scaling up makes aircraft more efficient so you could get a slightly longer range from a 50 or 200 seat variant.

The reasonable target with current technology and fuel reserves seems to be about 300 miles, which covers a surprising fraction of all trips.
I think the SQL example should be bit more extreme, the count() group by is quite common and has just linear scaling and is plenty fast for majority of use cases. Tested with 1 process thread, 1k stars = 0.285ms; 10k = 2.85 ms; (and 0.1k = 45us that is same as overhead or just selecting 1 row without join and group by). So with 1k stars you need the system to average 3500 calls/s to saturate 1 thread or have meaningful latency impact. Sure, for bigger IO or row counts this does not scale and materialized view is indeed >100x faster.
That's not too different from how the B and K extensions for RISC-V were designed...
If you're smaller you'd hopefully use something like Datadog, where you can easily ingest logs and have alert triggers from log lines. It's probably harder at bigger firms, where internal politics get in the way of having nice things.

I bought it used; the car is ~10 years old, now (still works great and has a much higher resale value than your typical 10 year old car). I have never bought a new car in my life, so I am not really in a position to comment on relative prices of new cars, but they seem quite similar to me, keeping in mind that the electric car manufacturers seem to have been targeting a slightly up-market demographic in general. You also need to consider that electric cars are much cheaper to run than an equivalent petrol car.

It’s weird how we have to have these silly discussions where people must know that they’re obviously wrong before commenting.

I agree . . . oh wait, you think I'm the one who is wrong. How bizarre.
We don't know how much money he paid to the person he's talking to. We only know that he _did_ pay money to the person he's talking to, since it's added as a disclaimer in the article. Also it would be silly of Vox to leave that disclaimer out as it' was publicized earlier so they can't run from it.

He's thinking he's chatting with an accomplish who's going to help him spin some positive PR to help his last ditch fund raising.

But in fact he's chatting with someone who's desperate to distance themselves from a person they received money from, so as not to end up looking like they got paid for biased coverage, which lets be honest is what most likely happened.
The guy thinks he is smarter than everyone else. And he’s not. He’s certainly not smarter than his lawyers (you’d have to assume right now that he has lawyers). Those lawyers would be telling him to shut the fuck up.

But no, he’s giving interviews to Vox.

All these fawning interviews beforehand. All this assumption that he’s a crypto-messiah. All the true believers.

At this point, crypto is a cult. And the sooner it implodes and/or explodes so we can be done with it, the better off society will be.
Surfing is a great safe way to learn how to fall.
I wish there was a way to quantify the externalities of "success" of this kind. How many developers had to burnout? How many relationships had to suffer, or never even had a chance to bloom because "success" didn't leave time for anything else? And also to be considered are the downstream effects of a culture of such "success", like how Amazon's warehouse employees are treated.
This is an improvement within the current paradigm of "big ag", but IMHO tech is opening the possibility of a completely different way of doing things. For example, this comment which is below the linked video imagines a robot-maintained food forest, I think it's on point because I, too, believe that the future is swarms of small robots rather than a few big tractors:

> Imagine, a few years down the line, applying these principles to maintaining an edible polyculture ecosystem-farm. Not necessarily a big machine going through a flat field, but small drones tending to trees, vines, herbs, plants, pollinators and water features all in the location that is best for them based on local features. It could micromanage weeding and harvesting, but also composting, planting, grafting and nurturing keystone species and rare species while avoiding pesticide, nitrogen imbalance and soil compaction. A productive farm could look like the garden of Eden.

"Watchers of the cryptospace" had been critical of FTX since its inception out of seemingly nowhere. SBF is not a crypto guy despite being presented as such in the mainstream. He's a trader and even in trading he's only been in cryptocurrencies five years or so, prior to that is was trading more traditional assets like ETFs.

I agree with you regarding regular people having no clue and no way to vet donors but keep in mind most folks on HN are part of this. The public knows what they get from news pieces they read, written by journalists who also don't have a clue. SBF was treated as the king of crypto by the mainstream for whatever reason. Talked to a lot of politicians too and spoke out in favor of regulation. Probably tried to sacrifice what he didn't care about anyway (actually decentralized chains) in order to present himself has a crypto person regulators can work with, all while committing fraud. Gary Gensler is supposed to have had private meetings with him several times. Curious how the agency who's supposed to regulate these exchanges never actually does and is even completely oblivious to multi billion dollar theft until the whole thing implodes. Meanwhile parties accept huge donations from Bankman-Fried and the SEC goes after smaller crypto projects that aren't even certain to be their jurisdiction.
I thought Texas was supposed to be a “free range kids” state. The article even mentions this:

HB567, a larger child welfare reform bill, and clarifies that parents are allowed to let their kids engage in independent activities as long as they aren't putting them in serious, likely danger. [...] Unfortunately, HB567 amended only family law, not criminal law. This meant the cops were still free to punish Wallace.

The solution is to create a law like HB567, but that amends Texas’s criminal law so frivolous arrests like this one can not happen.

Another thing would be for more states to have well defined laws which give children a minimum age when they can be left unsupervised.

The cable is going to be submerged in the water and I think that you are underestimating the amount of force that it requires to drag the entirety of the cable through the entire length of the water.

If the ferry is pulling itself along using the cable, the cable doesn’t really even have to be under tension and there is a lot less stress and forces on the system overall.
These foundations and charities were willing participants of SBF's PR campaign, but they're constantly being used for such purposes. Expecting them to unravel his complex, opaque, international fraud before accepting grants is a hard ask. Hell, Gensler's team was meeting with FTX to write regulations while freezing out other crypto companies. SBF had been anointed.

Still, while victims of his fraud, they are certainly lower in standing than almost everyone else.
The old timers in mature code bases who spend 35 hours a week are far better for the organization than the driven hardcore out of college ambitious employees. I am certain that what happens after Elon is done dropping the former is an urge to do rewrites instead of learn the (often necessary) complexities of the existing systems, while in the meantime services get flaky and new working features come to a halt.
She didn't immediately publicly confess to a reporter, though, right?
Slack is a bullshit product. Same goes for the rest of its ilk.

Work doesn’t happen in Slack.

Something I started doing with $JOB-1 was to write a “Working with rufius” document and share it with the broader org (in slack profile or intranet profile). One of the things I provide is an SLA on responding to communication. It roughly looks like:

- phone call - synchronous

- email - if I am directly on to-line, response by end of next business day

- slack/teams - hours to never

I basically only answer slack if I’m paying attention to it for whatever reason. My typical work schedule has me open it 3 times a day - once in the morning, once after lunch, and once about 30 mins before I end my work day.

The other thing I note is I don’t make decisions in slack. Decisions happen in documents or worst case, email. Something durable.

That “Working with” doc has done wonders for setting expectations with coworkers. I’ve gotten a lot of feedback from coworkers as well that they appreciate it and have created their own.
Yeah, comparatively, I find Github's process to be bizarre. Why do I have to fork a repo just to propose a change to it? Why does my "Pull Request" (really it's a Push Request, but it's called a Pull Request because of the 2 repo requirement) have to be associated with a remote repo in the first place?

(I wouldn't say I love the CR process - making multi-package CRs is definitely flawed, and I had a Sage question open with the Builder Team for nearly a year where they admitted as much - but I certainly prefer it to Github's)

But I'm pretty new to the outside world and really keen to understand alternative perspectives. What's good about Github's process to you?

Cool project. I feel like the punchline got buried a little in the article.

"It is being used by more than 10 organizations for a diverse set of use cases, including: model training on GPU/TPU (3x cost savings), distributed hyperparameter tuning, and bioinformatics batch jobs on 100s of CPU spot instances (6.5x cost savings on a recurring basis)."

I don't see a list of the 10 orgs using it, though I do see they discuss at least one: the Salk Institute for Biological Studies.

I wonder if the team has a "powered by" list somewhere (which is pretty typical for OSS projects)?
It's somehow even worse given that according to SBF, they didn't even loan all the deposits. Something like $8B of them were being deposited to Alameda directly from users without their knowledge.
