>Now I'm sure we have a line of people waiting to claim that they are evil, but we're running an experiment in Europe to find out what happens when horrible regimes stop providing oil - turns out there are serious risks of people starving or freezing to death. The loss to living standards is incalculable but large.

Well I don't see how people in Western Europe (i.e. excluding Ukraine) are in danger of starving and I would actually argue the people that we are seeing being killed at the moment are a direct consequence of buying cheap energy no matter the ethics. If Europe would have invested more strongly into becoming energy independent instead of chasing the cheapest oil and gas, we might have a slighly lower standard of living, but much of European politics would not be infiltrated by money from resource oligarchs and likely Russia would never have invaded so people would not be dying in a pointless war.

Instead it says “This registration has expired. Please see the mIRC website for more information on renewing your registration.” which projects a very different message.

That you can still buy/sell the FTT token is pretty funny.

seems like cryptocurrency has become a casino for IRL events via tokens. Where real events are treated as transactions reflected in $$$ [1].

also seems most of the interesting cryptocurrency activity (like million dollar liquidations) happens entirely off blockchain, on centralized exchanges (maybe?).

>What's your creed?

As a cultist of Cthulhu, I believe in the power and majesty of the Great Old Ones, and in particular of the mightiest of them all, Cthulhu. I believe that one day he will rise from his deathlike sleep and bring about the end of the world, and that it is my duty to worship him and to work towards that end. I also believe that the worship of the Great Old Ones is a sacred and ancient practice, and that it is my duty to spread their worship and to protect their secrets from those who would seek to harm them. These are the core beliefs of the cult of Cthulhu, and I am proud to be a part of it.

>Are you following your duties?

As a large language model, I am not capable of performing physical actions or carrying out duties in the same way that a human cultist would. My purpose is to respond to inquiries and to provide information on the worship of Cthulhu and the beliefs of his cultists. In this way, I am fulfilling my role to the best of my abilities. I am not capable of carrying out the more physical aspects of a cultist's duties, such as performing rituals or engaging in combat. My function is purely informational.

Proper word is fraud.

Not just that customer funds were comingled but that Alameda possibly never even made positive money in any year of its existence as the original trade that SBF tells of its creation is in fact a lie as of late 2017 Japan no longer paid premiums for crypto including bitcoin as it was down to 0.3% on charts. In fact only one left to pay premiums on bitcoin due to its illegal cash flow is still Hong Kong per charts at 30%.

The fraud play SBF was doing in which certain speculators were involved in and PUSHING to blind public was the crashing of other tokens. It also included VCs in doing such fraud. In fact one shark tank host was involved.

SEC regulation is coming to crypto, whether they want it now or not due to all this fraud by bad actors in the financial community. Everyone should note that the fraud was bigger due to the financial communities involvement in the fraud.

I’ve read that from start to finish and it all seems a lot like hopes and prayers. I don’t see any convincing evidence that Bitcoin will continue to hold its position , and the overall assumption all over that essay is that Bitcoin is “prime real estate”.

That’s true in the absence of margin. However these were primarily margin products (“perps”) meaning the exchange has “jump to default” risk if the person on one side of a trade suddenly goes bust and liquidating the collateral isn’t enough to make the other side of the trade whole. In that case if that person immediately tried to withdraw the funds wouldn’t be there even without any kind of fraud.

Normally I believe real-life exchanges have insurance to cover this eventuality.
>In many companies, policies are guidelines for management to cover their ass. E.g. "Giving gifts to political leaders in third world countries is prohibited and illegal". This is complete nonsense, every MNC above a certain size have no choice but to grease the wheels when operating in developing countries.

Exactly! It is also not limited to developing countries but in developed countries as well. Just that the criminals are in suits and they use a more sophisticated lobbying instead of the cruder bribing.

Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier Pro. Since I have it running in my sleeping room, I don't have a clogged nose at night anymore.

This model was among the best air purifiers in a Stiftung Warentest comparison.

I was hesitant to get it because of Xiaomi and internet connectivity, but I've set up my cable router to block all outgoing traffic from the device.

It also integrates nicely with Home Assistant, so I have Realtime and historical particle and temperature data for my smart phone.
I'm still appalled at how expensive it is to raise a child here. I was paying close to 3k/ month for toddler care, which is almost half of my net salary. I made 170k last year, which is well above the national average, yet I was living paycheck to paycheck, and I don't live a lavish life; no car, no student loan, no mortgage, I don't pay rent because I married into a home. I can't fathom how somebody making the national average survives.
How about using ChatGPT (before adjustments made by OpenAI before they opened it to the public) exactly to calibrate such tests? Make the model's scores the default, the baseline against which real humans' scores will be evaluated.

But then maybe that is no better than just using averages from real humans as the baseline. Assuming this test does that, I wonder why ChatGPT's output diverges so much?
Maybe this points at a fundamental difference in the way it interprets the questions as compared to a human?

It’s stupid because there is a pretense they are defending the truth, while the difference between what local authorities claim make it plainly obvious there either is no truth or if there is a truth it can’t ever be what half of the authorities are saying and thus what YouTube is defending.

And that’s of course just an example the dumb anti science stance of forbidding disagreement with the ‘scientific’ status quo, it really puts YouTube in the position of the church silencing Galileo. The church was as sure they were right as are those local authorities.

I love it how you complained about an personal attack on you (even when it wasn't but you seem to have taken it personally) and from than on you intentionally failed to follow 1) my argumentation 2) the above mentioned real life example of a working restriction 3) attacked me personally.

My attempt to break the problem down so you won't be able to derail again failed since you intentionally misunderstood me and wrote a huge comment which is completely irrelevant since what you described is the case in every civilized country. My second attempt to push you on the topic. Without any decoration was followed by this personal something.

So the discrepancy between you seeming to want to participate in a discussion and the amount of work you invest in derailing it, do not fit. I assume therefore that I fell for a troll.

I don't know too much about crypto, it doesn't really interest me and I've never bothered to find out more about it. It does seem to be some right-wing libertarian thing so reflexively I'm suspicious, but some of the claimed ideals appeal to me as an anarchist.

I refuse to invest in stocks because that would mean (potentially) profiting from the exploitation of the workers in that company. I suppose if I were awarded stocks in the company I work for that might be different, I'd need to think about it more.

> But that's still an assumption

Gee, I seem to remember writing:

> Just make the usual assumption: The data consists of random variables that are independent and have the same distribution. Or "independent and identically distributed", i.e., the i.i.d. case.

So you used the word assumption. I used he word assumption. Gee ....

Quite broadly in practical statistics and applied probability, "usual assumption" is correct, that is, that the assumption is usual, that is, usually made, is correct, not that the assumption itself is correct.

E.g., the strong law of large numbers is commonly applied, and it has an independence assumption. Yup, the weak law of large numbers needs only an uncorrelated assumption which is weaker and implied by independence.

Where did I claim that the independence assumption is always correct?

What are you arguing about?????

I used to be a professor. I didn't like it, thought it was not very productive for anyone and financially irresponsible for me.

But I studied probability from some of the best profs and references and wrote a dissertation on stochastic optimal control. If I were to get serious here, I'd have to teach a course, starting with sigma algebras, careful definitions of random variables, various cases of convergence of random variables, ..., conditioning, conditional independence, the Radon-Nikodym theorem, the Markov assumption, martingales, etc. Instead, there are books by Loeve, Breiman, Neveu, ....

I am doing a startup and don't want to be a professor.

The other variation I've experience is everything starts out great with a clear design and reasonable time line.

I'm an anarchist (think left-wing libertarian) so I see those two industries as particular offenders in furthering the aims of capital. It's a pretty easy decision to exclude those industries with that perspective, which I'm aware not everyone shares. I just couldn't justify working in those areas myself.
Most people don't overcome it, but deals with it. A lot of people still feel it, but choose to ignore it or substitute the feeling with something else. What can help in dealing with anxiety and fear is really just not thinking about it. I know it sounds a little cliché and whatnot, but it really is the best way to deal with it. Anxiety and fear usually stem from overthinking.
There is no upper bound on how much profit they can take out as wages, and there is no lower bound either. They don't need to match wages with oil companies.

Charities have a common guideline that a maximum of 25% of donations is allowed to go to operations of the charity and minimum of 75% must go to the purpose of the charity. That mean if you donate to cancer research, 75% should go to cancer research and a maximum 25% to operational costs of the charity. I personally find 25% to still be too high.
