Mr. Bankman-Fried was the No. 2 overall top donor to Democrats in the election cycle, only behind George Soros, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Mr. Salame was the No. 11 overall donor to Republicans.

And also look at the names of the candidates too, on both sides.

Range is horrific for beginners. Try explaining to a kid learning coding why his times table program needs to say ```range(1,13)```. There are excellent reasons for this construction, and to prefer half-open ranges, but providing a good on-ramp for kids ain't one of them.
Advocating for this is the equivalent of going "Yeah man, it's not a big deal that you don't 'own' those movies/games/books on a digital service, and a company can decide to rescind them without refund if they didn't like the post you made on Twitter."

That's where this is going to head.

> can governments ban their residents from signing contracts to distribute or host porn, gambling, etc.?

The question is always what do local laws say. Even in the US you have laws or court decisions that allow child marriage, non-revocable consent, upskirt photos, or regulate that men are allowed to show nipples but women aren't.

Other countries have equally outrageous (or reasonable, depending on your views) laws making something effectively (il)legal. So yes, governments can and do prohibit porn or gambling, or just the hosting and distribution. Laws and regulation can have a lot of purposes. They can protect you from abuse you may not even understand, or they can even protect the abusers.

It would probably cost close to that range just for the battery, but it begs the question who this is for.

If your budget is £7k there are plenty of used options around that would involve sacrificing much less than this for about double the range (thinking early Leaf/Zoe/Ion).

Google Drive/DropBox and OneDrive has continued costs for the hosting provider and for this reason a subscription makes complete sense.

> May 26th, 1995: Bill Gates sends a memo, entitled “The Internet Tidal Wave,” to all executive staff within Microsoft.

Say what you want, but Bill Gates' vision of the internet was spot on.

The drawback is that Microsoft used illicit and mostly unethical tactics to fend off competition (Netscape, etc) and gain and retain a certain market dominance, and this was done under Bill's scrutiny.

It's really hard to find a saint, and Bill is not one.

I kind of stumbled upon writing by accident. To me it’s not about ability to get things done (thought it helps). It’s about feeling some semblance of control and structure, something I think so many struggle with in the past few years (Trump, COVID, Ukraine/Russia, recent tech layoffs, etc etc).

As others here mentioned, it’s kind of like programming.

We used it to live in “hello world”.

Now we all got thrown into this crazy distributed microservice world. The language of this new world is still the same. It’s (mostly) English. Except it’s more complex now and you have to be faster and better at writing. So write.
In Tantric philosophy (at least according to Christopher Wallis in Tantra Illuminated), the concept of rasa (usually translated as aesthetics) describes the experience of someone experiencing art. It’s not the modernist idea of “this is art because I say it is art”. Rather, something has rasa because the consciousness experiencing the art, in that moment, remembers profound spiritual truths. It’s more similar to what psychonauts might realize during visionary experiences. And if something doesn’t evoke rasa, it isn’t art.

I think everyone more or less has a connection to some source of inspiration and creativity. But not all of us have the craft or skill to execute that vision. These AIs can help bring that out. I am already seeing indie fiction authors creating sketches of characters they have created. I wouldn’t be surprised when someone hooks up GPT-X driven interactive fictions with generative art to illustrate them. If properly curated, little kids take naturally to this stuff — it’s all Make Believe.

Generative music is probably coming next.

This debate on what is art, and artists who do have the craft feeling threatened by the technology is just a surface debate. These models are only as good as the examples we feed them, and there is a place for people to execute on new art styles and variants.

Rather, this ability for anyone to execute on their personal source of inspiration means we will be surfacing up content deep within our collective consciousness. There will be the sublime, and there will be the horrific. Any and all fantasies, both wholesome and beyond the pale, will emerges. What we do about this as a civilization, is I think, will be a much bigger debate than what is art.

Heating, specifically in the north.

Hydrogen has potential to replace natural gas in area that need serious heating. Where I am standing it is currently very cold, days are short, and the sun is very low on the horizon. Electric heating is possible, but without any green power sources nearby that just means more burning fossil fuels, a horrible conversion of energy. And the electrical infrastructure needed to move sufficient power from sunny/windy areas to heat homes in the north would be immense. But "green" hydrogen shipped over the existing natural gas infrastructure could work. So in those circumstances where you need to move energy for purposes of heating, hydrogen has its place.
It's called realpolitik.

Once a murder took place there is no doubt that there was a crime and more or less which crime and the suspect is ... well - suspected. For a financial crime the work consists in determining if there was a crime. And if so which one.

It’s a lot easier to do a second murder than a second FTX.

In complicated murder cases it can take decades to get an arrest, too. For example, a murder in 1963 and a conviction in 2001: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/26/us/thomas-blanton-dead.ht...

> You would have multiple companies licensing high-end RISC-V cores

Perhaps. But why would they license their cores to their competitors instead of just making them themselves. Licensing does not seem like a great business mode in this industry. Has anyone based ARM been successful at it? And even ARM itself is not doing that great financially not even close to Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Qualcomm etc.
I don't understand what the "Talk" button is supposed to do on the website.
I think he’s referencing Asimov’s profession novella there, though the main point of that story was that the protagonist couldn’t get the tapes because of the capability for original thought (some people had to make the tapes).

And yeah, probably a tape that structured your brain in some way that had the knowledge may include the prerequisites necessary for it to work (better language/reasoning and writing).

But even if it didn’t, Asimov’s story agrees with him - it was insufficient. It’s why they made some people avoid the tapes.
But if you read the article, you would see that you'd run afoul with this interviewer doing that, because he has utterly convinced himself that I/O is no longer the bottleneck and coming to the same conclusion is your unspecified task in the interview.
Further evidence is the fact that optimized SIMD JSON or UTF8 libraries exist. If I/O was the bottleneck, there wouldn't be a need to parse JSON using SIMD.
> ...a lot of Americans had to make some extra side income to combat inflation and a difficult few years...

The impetus does appear to be because of corona, a lot of people might of got used to working or doing business from home and/or freelancing. You know, the true enemies, of not generating enough tax revenue. Why hassle billionaires and millionaires, when you can chase down some struggling people who might have made over $600 dollars.

Looks like some really smart people in high places felt they might be missing out on some cash, somewhere, so needed to step on, squeeze, flip over and shake the lower to middle class as much as possible. The unwashed lower classes might be hiding some loose change under a cushion, so need to make sure to get first dibs on it.

Trying to make ends meet, pay rent, or eat? Don't worry about that, if you made a buck, make sure you know who gets the first cut. And at $600, they might as well go the full monty, and bring it to $0. Any of those with thoughts of extra "side income" or "side hustles", outside that cushy minimum wage job, may need to give that up or enjoy the extra headache. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

I really wish mathematics was taught like a history class. Mathematics, the way it’s taught, rarely ever explains the Why of a concept. For example, I understand that calculus is useful. You’ve shown me a whole bunch of uses for it. But why did we come up with calculus in the first place!

Learning about the motivations of the historical actors involved in making discoveries, and learning about the steps that led to those discoveries gave me a far more complete understanding of mathematics.

It also removed this massive whiff of arbitrariness that has always existed with mathematics for me.

Not your OP, but I've got stories!

PhotoStructure is a non-trivial app written in TypeScript for both frontend and backend tasks.

Coming from Scala, I initially used a lot of Array.map, Array.foreach, and, to handle things like Some/None/Either:

function map<T,U>(
maybe: <T|undefined>,
f: (t:T) => U
)

According to the V8 memory inspector, all those tiny fat-arrow functions can hammer the GC (presumably due to stack allocations and pulling in local context). Replacing large array iteration with for loops was a big win.

Also, handling large files with a streaming parser when possible, instead of reading them entirely into memory, another win.

Buffer concatenation may be faster by pushing read chunks onto an array, and joining the lot at the end, rather than incrementally appending with .concat.

When memoizing functions, if they themselves return functions, watch out for fat-arrows if you didn't need the caller's context (which may prevent gc from unexpectedly retained variables).

But the first step should always be to profile your app. You can't assert improvement without a baseline.

* Splitting long lines is slow[1]

* Can Parallel::ForkManager speed up a seemingly IO bound task?[2]

In both cases, Perl is the language used (with a little C thrown in for [1]), but they are in a similar vein to the topic of this post. In [1], I show that the slowness in processing large files line by line is not due to I/O, but due to the amount of work done by code. In [2], a seemingly I/O bound task is sped up by throwing more CPU at it.
