Banks borrow short and lend long, and that’s both extremely useful and prone to catastrophic failure. So we have insurance for when things go wrong and regulation to ensure that unscrupulous banks don’t abuse the insurance by taking on too much risk.

So saying FTX is like a bank is sort of true, but only implies that it needed the same regulation banks need.

Oh and also there’s the part where they were lying about treating customers’ money the way honest pre-FDIC banks did, and instead appear to have stolen it.
How would "the wrong surgical glue" lead to the monkeys dying? If it was surgical glue, but the wrong kind, it was surely sterile for biological use. There are just too few specific details in these accusations. It's not clear why this justifies a Federal prosecutor actively requesting the U.S. Agricultural IG to open an investigation. If this involves a lab partnership with Univ. of California, why not go through CA state channels for this? How many lab animals die each year? Is this a case of malicious prosecution?
If this has never taken place in my experience across a dozen or so startups, does it indicate I'm skilled at selecting startups chosen to succeed?
I don't really understand the question: there are legal differences between (a) entry into the US and (b) travel within the US. The federal government has asserted that there are carve-outs to the Fourth Amendment for the former (the "100 mile" zone), but that's definitely not the case for the latter.

Those don't have agency. You can't give a voice cloner or a GAN a zsh terminal and tell it to run commands, send messages to real humans, or tell it to make money and see what ideas it comes up with.

At this rate, a few days from now someone will get the idea to hand ChatGPT the nmap instruction manual, an msfconsole, and tell it to go explore /0. What Shodan really needed was an LLM to give each host individual attention.
If any of you are passing by St Malo (France) the owner has a small restaurant called "Le bistrot autour du beurre" that is excellent for its price.

My advice if you also want to buy some butter: unsalted is excellent but it won't taste good for long (pretty much like a fresh baguette).
Salted butter has a much longer duration, if you plan to take some home.

I experience the same delema's when I ride a motorcycle and have to lug around an even bigger/heavier/more expensive helmet. I sometimes will opt for a car over motorcycle simply because of the PPE element. However, my solution to that problem is not to skip wearing my PPE. I am not sure it should be the same for cycling either. In places like the Netherlands I guess it can make more sense for PPE to not have as much importance as you're going to have far less risk of an head injury compared to a rider in many North American cities.

Well there's your problem right there. Either go on youtube and watch some videos about how TLS works or just use an http server like Caddy that automatically generates TLS certs and renews them with Let's Encrypt.

Fair. I mostly read the dismissal as only based on the headline, which I feel is still unfair. But, I can take responsibility on that uncharitable read. Apologies.
I'd be happy if congress operated online, and representatives had to stay in the states they allegedly represent. This is a small step in transparency and making lobbying harder.
Nobody offers more than a year now. It’s annoying. So many old devices still need to be supported and can’t automatically update.

2009, huh? It's sure taking its time in coming...

> Revolutionary movements do not spread by contamination but by resonance.

That line rings true, and not just about revolutions in France. You want to create a product that takes over the world? It has to resonate with users. No, I don't know exactly how to define it, but I know it when I see it. Worse, I don't know how to make it happen.

You want to change politics? You have to resonate with voters, not just have them hate you less than the other candidate. Reagan, Bill Clinton, Obama, Trump, and Sanders resonated. Pretty much all other politicians in the last 40 years did not.

And even though this manifesto contains this line, it looks like their message didn't actually resonate with the French people.

Also, the files seem incomplete? Both the text and the PDF end after page 13, seemingly in the middle of both a sentence and a thought. (Maybe that's just as well, though. I'm not sure I wanted to read much more of that. It seemed to do as it described of other movements: "It's then easy for them to present their idiotic formalism as the sole remedy to this separation." They present their theory of the situation, which seems to me to be seriously distorted, and then present themselves as the only solution. But if their view of the problem is wrong, their view of the solution almost certainly is as well. Anyway, I had little desire to read further.)
Interesting and creative way to sidestep the boundary line. I especially liked the last paragraph.
It just means dark brown in italian, but it's not very used.

When i was small it was the normal word to refer to black people, but USA has decided that's racist so now it's "persona di colore", even though as a child i've always found it funny because every person is of some colour :D

More often than not I was opening documents, not apps. But with spatial windows in Finder I used to just arrange my Applications folder the way I wanted (sometimes using Aliases) and have it open on the left of my screen, then have my Documents on the right. I kept a row of Desktop icons visible with an In and Out box.

There wasn’t a default folder structure in the early days. Your hard drive had a “System” folder with merely a few hundred files in it (in a hierarchy) that you can ignore day-to-day. Otherwise the whole drive was your playground.
You're talking about counterfeit oil... By definition, it didn't follow Spanish food safety laws.
>It cannot think. It cannot reason.

This is probably true, but what test would we use to know the difference between something that can reason and something that can not?
Ok so did some reading and you are correct, new shares can be issued but GameStop did a share split, not a dilution.

Share dilution: more shares added, existing shareholders percentage of company decreases, investments are devalued.

Share split: more shares added, existing shareholders percentage of company remains the same, value of investment remains the same.

As far as I'm aware, share dilution is a lot less common than share split precisely because shareholders are essentially losing money. If GameStop had done a share dilution everyone who invested previously would have lost 75% of their value. That kind of thing absolutely could lead a company going bankrupt because it would not be looked kindly on, both by existing or prospective investors.

Excerpt from https://valueofstocks.com/2022/06/18/share-dilution-vs-stock... :

> Of course, investor sentiment can be negative if a company dilutes shares for this reason alone. Issuing new shares is often seen as a less risky way to raise capital because the company does not have to pay back the money it raises.

> However, there are some risks associated with share dilution, as it signals that the company could destroy shareholder value, and it leads to poor investor sentiment towards the company.

> Issuing shares can also be a warning signal for shareholders, because it may signal that the company can’t raise capital by borrowing or issuing bonds.

> What are the risks of share dilution?

> The most obvious risk of share dilution is that it can hurt stock prices. When a company dilutes its shares, the value of each existing share is reduced. This most of the time leads to a decline in the stock price, which is proportionate to the reduced value of each share.

> It can also make it harder for the company to raise capital in the future, by issuing shares because shareholders take dilution as a serious risk.

> It makes it more difficult to raise money because potential investors will see that the company has already diluted its shares and they'll be less likely to invest. Another risk is that dilution can increase the volatility of the stock.

> The lower stock price can also lead to more volatile swings in the stock price. This can be a problem for investors who are looking for stability.

Michael Leunig did a cartoon of this, so maybe that's where the story comes from. (I tried to find it but my google foo failed me)
It's the completely non committal unopinionated response to any non objective question. Real people have actual opinions even if they aren't provable.
Yea the judicial system always favors corporations.

If you steal $100 from work you go to jail. If work shorts you $100 in pay, your gonna need to get your own lawyer. Citizens are not given the benefit of the doubt against entities that only exist on paper and don’t suffer real consequences. It’s backwards to put it lightly.
> Even if Russia laid down their arms and left Ukraine, the economic sanctions won't stop either, until..?

If Putin walked back troops even to just the pre-2022 borders and ceased bombing Ukraine, he could get most sanctions reversed. If he withdrew from all but Crimes, he could negotiate an end to special arms shipments to Ukraine.
Never once in my experience, and I haven't configured it otherwise.
Did an above-average percentage of them succeed?

(I suppose it's possible that selected to succeed and succeeding are not the same thing)
I am just a layman (per my user name) so I'm not clear what the dangers are with doing this. I am already aware that these language models can be very racist and sexist. It also makes sense to me that Stack Overflow would ban AI-generated answers because most models are trained on those answers so it doesn't make sense to reinforce whatever learning is going on there.

But I'm more confused about the talk about "singularity" and other "doom and gloom" sentiment.
Yes. I spend the whole weekend, trying to find information on some caching and invalidation configuration for Django. I googled almost half a day, I get what I need to set up, but what I am working on is quite custom, and neither Stackoverflow or Google where of great help. There were decent answers, but they were not giving me the whole picture.

Then on Monday I decided to plug in the question into ChatGPT, within 10 minutes I got a better answer than half a day Googling (including code snippets). I could adapt my questions to better fit my customization need. And when I wasn't sure about some setting, I could ask ChatGPT to explain me why I should use this setting, and what it was good for. It gave me the whole picture and some more.

ChatGPT is like a personal consultant which absolutely rivals StackOverflow.
> JESD218 spec only guarantees year of retention unpowered (for enterprise, 3 months for customer) soooo good fucking luck.

That retention spec is for a drive at the end of its write endurance. A drive that's less worn-out will have longer retention, more or less by definition (reduced retention is the main problem caused by the wear of writing lots of data). Also, IIRC it's one year for consumer and only 3 months for enterprise (albeit at a higher storage temperature).
It's banned (at least for regular vehicles) here in Japan. Stud powder dust is a problem. Since then, better studless tires being developed.

Edit: TIL it's not banned for bicycle/motorcycle
It probably uses your default language settings; I'm in the EU with the OS set up in English and I see imperial units.
If these devices have internet access they can auto renew. If they don't, they don't need a cert signed by a public CA.
It's the only alternative and Mozilla usually seems clueless and wasteful of precious resources. Hatred of Google domination is the fuel that fires the passion against Mozilla's random wasteful decisions really.

Although in this specific case, I think what they're doing is great personally.

The worst thing they did was firing the servo team for me.

It's like Sun microsystems before Oracle ruined them, seeing a great org get ruined.

I don't get it but the phenomena is not unique to mozilla. Signal is another example, they start doing great but then they need to find value outside of doing what is useful to customers and taking care of their core product. Valuing short term gains when you're big but nowhere big enough to take risks like they're taking.

I feel like with the right prioritization firefox can totally decimate Chrome in just one year.

Probably. That's one of the confounding factors which makes this difficult to study in a really rigorous way.

In spite of this being totally against the guidelines: I can tell that your response is not written by GPT-3, but only barely (and if you think for a bit you can figure out what to do to wipe out that one little tell and then we're off to the races).
It's because smartphones are a goldmine of data sensors always collecting information on their users. Microsoft failed their attempts at making a phone catch on, but if they can get laptops to collect the same (or similar) data they could become very profitable products.

> A VC firm is handed a billion dollars they must invest by quarter end

Is “by quarter end” accurate?

I thought VC were typically given 2-years to invest their fund.

Can someone confirm.
I've studied the latest AI techniques academically for a few cumulative years. I didn't perceive AI as an existential threat to human civilization (on the scale of nuclear weapons, climate change, etc.).

I thought "AI alignment" was an unsolvable problem because the premise (sentient AI) didn't make sense to me.

A series of posts [e.g. 1] shared here over the weekend caused me to shift my priors, to the point where I believe the reality we're in is actually near-term scary.

I still don't think sentient AI is a threat to human civilization.

To me, it seems the existential threat is a combination of (1) the preponderance of leaky security methods practiced over the history of the internet hitherto (2) granting very powerful models like ChatGPT control of a linux shell (3) malicious people prompting ChatGPT to do malicious things.

IMO, ChatGPT becoming sentient and using that for its own enrichment is not the primary existential threat. Rather, it's a sociopathic human directing some ChatGPT-esque system in a way indistinguishable from a sentient & malicious SkyNet.

In short, I think powerful general-purpose AI is an existential threat large enough that we might not be around long enough to invent "sentient" AI (which may not be possible to create).

As we've seen over the weekend, there is no human-devised alignment solution that can keep out other motivated humans. I think the only solution might be to turn the whole thing (networked armaments & infrastructure) "off" from an IT point of view. Disarm ourselves as a society, or at least keep our arms as far away from packet-switchers as we can.

Until now, "cyber-attacks" on infrastructure been limited by nation-state level persistence, ingenuity, focus, resources, and accountability to civilians. The prospect of there being an order of magnitude of power/focus beyond those constraints is what's concerning to me. Our defense infrastructure is not prepared for humans directing ChatGPT-formed botnets and red teams that can be operated by anybody with a mildly technical background.

I have absolutely no issue with Nginx, and still use it here and there. It's just good to see something public about the use of Apache that's current, as I'm more comfortable with its usage and configuration.
>I've always loved Apple Platinum (the Mac OS 8 and 9 interface). I'm not a UI/art person, but the gray color they used always seemed so clean compared to the dull gray of Windows 95/98.

I feel similarly. The Win9X gray is just a touch too dark, it reminds me of a dark overcast day or something.

Platinum's shade of gray is great, and the shade that they switched to in Windows 2000 is also very good. For this reason on the Windows side of the fence I've always considered Win2K's UI the peak of Win9X-type UIs.
Yeah, that's definitely an Atom (or Intel is calling them low power cores now). It's fine, you're clearly happy with the product and Atoms are generally ok (other than some issues with Bay Trail that resulted in an early end of service in early steppings), but the cores are roughly 50% the performance of contemperaneous mainstream cores, and it's often not totally clear when comparing a Celeron to another Celeron that one has half as powerful cores.
I would argue that things are "easily" testable when you can control all of the variables. For most of history, we have rarely ever controlled all variables outside of the easy cases. Typically, we define away much of the extra stuff. That has not stopped us testing what we can, just be sure to disclose everything else. Obviously, things are more confidently testable if you have controlled all variables, but that would be a crippling condition.

Basically, following the link in wikipedia will get you to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_control which allows for "A scientific control is an experiment or observation designed to minimize the effects of variables other than the independent variable (i.e. confounding variables)." Which is much less strongly stated than what you have. The idea is still there, of course.
In a sample size of maybe 10, every time I’ve seen one of those highway signs and tuned to the station, the quality was so bad I couldn’t make out any words and so got no useful information. If that’s the last bastion of AM usefulness, scrap it and give that spectrum to the wireless carriers. Frankly, for stuff like road closure information I’m a lot more likely to get that from Waze (delivered over a 5G connection) now anyway.

>No matter how careful and smart and conservative a person is-- sometimes they're just having a blonde moment and will fall for whatever. I agree that people do need to be responsible and avoid traps but I think their responsibility in no way diminishes the perps responsibility.

You're way more forgiving than I am, G.

I have seen and have reluctantly been in charge of people's financial affairs and the only sure way for them to have any level of operational security is when something is at stake and they subsequently lose some of it to learn why to do so--it is well understood that our human minds are hard-wired for risk aversion and optimized for limiting losses, so it makes sense that is why people an be so careless wen this is done for them in 90% of situations.

With that said, I agree greater efforts should be made for securely storing and handling funds, I just fail to see how more regulation (FTX was regulated and licensed) will achieve this. Rather I prefer to see a technological solution to key storage, but tat doesn't solve the ability to see a yield farm operation for the scam that it is.
> The real goal is often to reduce the number of people biking

Where is the evidence of that intention? This seems more like the case of unintended side-effects to me.
Two points to note - first, if individual users have trust graphs rather than having a single global trust graph, this sort of gaming is basically impossible outside of exploits. Second, this behavior is detectable using clique detection and graph clustering, so if you're not limited by the constraints of a near real-time production system it's fairly straightforward to defeat it (or at least relegate it to unprofitability).
If most drivers are sober, why do we need to ban drunk driving?

If most people refrain from stealing, why do we make theft illegal?

If most houses never burn down, why do we require smoke detectors?
> How are you going to do that when your comments betray that you barely know what dbt does in the first place?

God forbid I ask questions to fill in my knowledge gaps. “Barely know” is a bit strong, I understand what it is, I don’t personally see the value proposition. The question about composability is hence a proxy- if I don’t see the value prop, I need to understand what the underlying benefit is from people who do value it. To me it just looks like some shiny bells and whistles on top of gluing a bunch of sql execution together. Other products have failed at that, so it’s got to be slightly more than that. The other thing it offers is composition via string templates, and seemingly, some level of orchestration as a direct result. Sometimes you have to ask “dumb looking” questions to make sure you don’t miss things.
A better question is: can you tell when a person or a computer is wrong in the first place...

Developing your own intuition for the world will help you better filter bad gossip and bad ai... ultimately to me if the AI is correct then it's welcome.
is there any reading around this - i just am not sure compsci papers cover this?

Ah, perhaps not. I figured they had a bit more control over it, like some other opt-out systems when SS got set up originally, but it looks like they don't.
When I got married and changed my name, I ended up having to spend a couple hours a day arguing at the passport office for three consecutive days. There are all kinds of arcane rules about it and the staff are not allowed to tell you what they are because they have been literally classified as state secrets since early in the Obama era. Plus, in my case they wouldn't even have a re-look at the rulebook to make sure they were getting it right, they were just going by memory.

Eventually I was able to track down the underlying laws that the relevant rules were based on and call the head office in Charleston who put things right, but who knows what would've happened had I not been a native English speaker.

Some of this may have changed, it looks like "8 FAM 403.1-4(D)" would've been the rule that I needed back when I did this, and it does not appear to be currently classified, but lots of other rules still are. Point is, it may not be as simple as you'd think to "just" get a new passport.
