Sounds like you have never used hardware wallets, these are not just a yubikey with a button to push and a notification diode. Having a screen is essential to display information about the transactions you're going to sign . Recent blockchains and new bitcoin signing schemes tend to have big chunks of data that require screen estate to be validated by the signer, so the bigger the better.
The nano S and nano X screen were a pain to use with their super small screens, this improvement is welcomed.
About Bluetooth, well, that's simply a transport layer, like USB. Pretty convenient when you want to trigger a transaction from your phone. People don't necessarily use these devices with a cable and a laptop.

I don't see a use for wireless charging. Maybe you can charge your wallet by placing it over your phone ?

I found the pacing on the show to be way too fast but I enjoyed it. Television and movies in general are afraid of moving slowly now-a-days. I think this is a big problem for most book-to-screen adaptations.
It’s still a computer program with some state attached. That’s literally all it is. There are no linguists in the program. That it is able to distill the knowledge and ability of a linguist by parsing ascii text into byte buffers and doing some fancy math on the bytes should be breathtaking.

The sleight of hand would be if it had a mechanical Turk and there was a linguist. The fact that it collected knowledge to have knowledge and can apply that knowledge is no different than a linguist for sure, but that it’s a computer program distilling binary data into abstract concepts at the level of a grade schooler or a linguist (not sure who is more sophisticated) is mind bending. If you can’t see it, you’ve lost sight of things my friend. I hope you find it again. The world is a beautiful place.
tether (aka USDT) and Bitfinex are part of the same iFinex group.

The Panamera papers revealed what everyone in the business knew: they're all exactly the same owners.

So tether/Bitfinex: one and the same.

Now how does FTX relates to tether? Bifinex's top lawyer happens, what a coincidence, to be an ex-colleague of FTX's top lawyer. But wait, it gets better: what does these two used to work together on? A poker server software that had a "god mode" where owners would see customers' cards and defraud them.

So these two lawyers were already working hand in hand on a previous fraud. And now at least one of them is caught, again, in a similar fraud (replace poker with crypto), where the money sent to these guys disappears in a black hole.

But it's just a coincidence right?

OK... What about this one: it's well known that the Bahamas bank at the center of the entire tether thing is Deltec/Delbank (they also have tens if not hundreds of companies).

Guess who SBF bought a bank in the US from? From the owner of Deltec.

So tether and FTX may be related in that they both frauds (at least one is proved to be a fraud now).

Or, if we listen to those who correctly explained SBF and FTX were scam from day one, before SBF was even in the news as the savior of the world, FTX and tether are one and the same fraud.

Tether is ultra shady but they may have counterfeited their way into solvency (buy cheap bitcoins, print fake usdt to pump bitcoins... The guys were already in this game back when Bitcoin was worth $200 or so IIRC). Especially if, by sheer luck, the trading arm of Bitfinex (Bitfinex has a company that is to Bitfinex what Alameda was to FTX) happens to be those on the winning side of the trade where FTX/Alameda lost billions.

For that's the thing: they "lost" billions and we're to believe it's retail who won big vs the billions FTX lost?

But I'd say it's unlikely anything substantial will be publicly disclosed. I only except lies and more lies from the very same media that were presenting SBF as an altruistic genius.

> long-tailed power scale

Yeah, but a power scale implies that there are outliers at any distance from the median. That can't be true, so the model is defective.
It depends a lot on which streams you're casting in.

At the seed/series A stage (one I'm most familiar with), any company that raised money this year or is cash-flow positive is still hiring opportunistically. At Series B and beyond, it's really a function of the health and resilience of their business model.

Within this bracket, there's fewer total jobs available, but the "median quality" of jobs is better than it's been in a long time: most companies that are hiring are good companies, so if you were to pick completely randomly between offers, you wouldn't be too bad off. Comp packages have not come down ($180-200kish cash basis for a "senior" engineer).

For people who know how to analyze early-stage companies as a prospective engineering hire, this is paradoxically a great time to be looking.

From my perspective, it seems like many ex-FAANG employees are seeking stable comp at late-stage growth companies (which may be a buyer beware situation...). I think the hiring there has gotten much more competitive, but I have less firsthand experience fishing those streams.

My tackle box: laid off from Meta after <1 month of Bootcamp, 5ish YoE as a backend engineer. Meta would have been my first FAANG experience.
As humans we seem to have feelings about what this calculator does, but it doesnt have any about us.

In any case it seems to be particularly good at understanding syntax, even though its architecture seems to be based on Transformers. Those don't have baked in notions of syntactic or recursive structures. It must be interesting to see how these linguistic structures arise in a system that is basically learning the context of words. People will be dissecting its brain soon i think
You prototype a lot but a promising prototype doesn't always turn to a good (and original) game.

Not every game is fun in prototype form (think for example of SimCity or Civilization - you have to have a certain level of complexity before it's interesting) and other times something that seems fun for a few minutes in a prototype doesn't necessarily translate to a fun X hours game. Or you can find a fun core (matching gems in a match 3 game and causing a lot of cascades is fun!) but is not something that will on its own make a game commercially viable in 2022.

And sometimes you run out of time before finding a very promising prototype and have to get started anyway or you'll have people idlying (while getting paid & costing you money you may not have before you sign a publishing deal) so you just take a leap of faith on whatever seemed best among what you did find...

The cases in your quote are really the rare exceptions where everything went great but it doesn't go that way every single time.

Have you read a "tech" article on medium lately? I stopped reading them years ago because they feel like "the voice of a stilted 11th grader writing another stupid essay he doesn't care about at all". Now add all the other articles that are written for various new sites etc that are centered around a couple of tweets or something. Honestly, ChatGPT reads better than a lot of the trash I find on the internet now.

Edit: It's also really funny to me how quickly the goal post shifts. 2 months ago the best chat bots worked by using ML to try to figure out the intent of the user, then respond with a predefined action that may have been slightly tweaked using some sort of text generation etc.

Now, the chat bot not only responds to what I ask, but synthesizes the information and gives me an 11th grade level response. This is astounding, and I can't believe so many in tech want to dismiss the achievements of others for some imaginary utopia that is the only definition of success in their minds. Even if the AI is confidently spouting BS, it's still synthesizing the information and formulating a response, and I've met plenty of people that confidently spout a lot of BS as well.
I'm not a linguist, but wanted to invent a basic language for use in an escape room I'm building. Tools like this are a great help to people like me; hence the amazement.

(I had to use GPT-3 and NovelAI, since this was two weeks ago)
I'm still super into this as it is, without considering real growth on the tech side. It's dumb but I think it's still useful.

It'll be crazy when it replaces us but for the moment I've been using it to learn and explore (C, some linux tools, game dev in lisp) and the results are surprising - and we're looking at the newest tech demo, as you say what will it look like in a few years? Even just give some app devs some years with it and I'm excited to see the results

I do have a general idea of how much land costs in the UK, and also, I've been to Milford On Sea several times, and I've walked and run across the land in question. It's not on the nice area of the beach: that's a few hundred metres further down the coast, and that's where there are things like beach huts. It's a good piece of land for dog walkers, though - and there's a footpath running through it. I don't think you could realistically build anything there, hence the low price.

If you are visiting it, I can highly recommend Verveine, a really good fish restaurant about half a mile away, on the High Street. A great tasting menu - 8 courses with matched wines, for £130 - much cheaper than London, just like the land prices. Excellent desserts.
> some of these gaps can be tackled

Seems like the major gap is in facts. It'll often make up completely plausible specific details that are flat wrong, or refuse to proceed if it's "not allowed" to do so.

Coupling it (handwave) with a massive structured data repository like Wolfram Alpha and Wikidata would be really something.
The actual tax rate with 2 kids and 2 adults out of which only 1 works and earns €100k is going to be 18% if you don't declare ANY deductions.
The optimization here would be CSE or hoisting, or both? I'm guessing the problem is those are performed prior to vectorization.

In other words, I suspect an invariant calculation inside consecutive loops but that is not vectorized will be pulled out of the loops and also moved prior to them and executed just once.
I just experienced this today; I was walking down the street and a teenager walking by himself abruptly made this sharp random shrieking sound to no one in particular and then kept walking along.

ChatGPT's superpower is hijacking the human desire for meaning into causing people to believe it is much better than it really is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del,_Escher,_Bach

has dialogues between Achilles and the Tortoise where they work out the limitations of various fantastic A.I. systems based on mathematical logic. Roughly, neural networks don't repeal the results of Gödel, Turing and Tarski.

The short of it is that ChatGPT is good at charming people, better than some people are at charming people, but when it comes to getting accurate answers some of the things which it tries to do are logically impossible, so it is not like it gets it right 70% of the time now and they'll get that up to 100% but rather people will be puzzled about how it hit a plateau and we'll hear a few years later about what a disappointment it was just like Amazon's Alexa.
> This is the first visual IDE to edit React Typescript code. Even code you created outside of it.

tbh I find this to be misleading then. Me, and I am sure many others interested in web dev, have seen products that focus on react with a visual IDE, maybe this product is way better, but it seems like a poor first impression when I immediately think "that's bullshit" about the first thing I see.

Also how does this handle complex project setups? Like lets say i have a constant that gets injected by my bundler (e.g. webpack) that produces different results based on the environment, or middlewares? How does it display individual components when it might need to load a bunch of dependencies?
It would have been great if the tv adaptation did not stray so far from the book in later episodes.
Today more women than ever before are buying cars, and more cars than ever before are designed (also) with women's needs in mind. Some models are designed to look intimidating, the typical customer for an Escalade or an S-Class probably wants something imposing, aggressive looking. But the generalization in your analysis seems oddly personal.

Design changes so much because people expect a new look to motivate a new purchase. Making designs that will look obsolete as soon as the new one comes out is a huge part of selling the new model even if the technology under the hood (literally and figuratively) may not have changed much.

Why is that relevant? Grade schoolers and linguists also learn from other people. A single computer system with the capabilities of a grade schooler (or beyond) across a huge variety of domains (poetry writing, computer programming, linguistics, joke writing, scientific knowledge, etc, etc.), is an amazing thing that is far beyond the capacities of the best AI systems even a few years ago.

I'm perplexed to see all the people scoffing at it because it isn't as good as a Ph.D. in domain X at task Y (yet). Are we ready to declare that grade schoolers and median IQ people don't count as intelligent?

I think it's more that it conflicts with our "fundamental values". There's a massive cognitive dissonance of being constantly told you're in a democracy and you're government is just, and then having elaborate state secrets kept under wraps for decades.

Usually, the things that were classified are those which would make the public upset, yet they were done anyway. That is fundamentally a contradiction, undemocratic institutions in a democracy.
It's not a zero-sum game here. Being able to do more with less is a huge win — this enables individuals and small teams to tackle niche problems that would've otherwise been ignored. But there will always be an endless stream of universe-scale problems that require massive hordes of people to solve.
TIL about CPOM, thanks!

Another question I'm curious about, if you don't mind, is why there is no apparent urgency in fixing the painful billing experience for patients. (aka "why don't billing coordinators seem to coordinate with the patient front and center?") Seems like lots of people are fearful of medical billing, and not only because it's expensive.

I realize providers may be out of network, carriers take time to adjust claims, etc.
Still, the staggered/surprise billing seems unique to medicine and a 2nd order effect might be people avoiding preventive care to their own detriment.

Say a patient goes to get some procedure done, the medical work is completed in one day. Shortly afterwards they receive bill A. OK, that's fine. But then X months later, they receive bill B with more charges from some provider that they may not even remember.

I thought avoiding that was supposed to be the job of a billing coordinator. Presumably coordinators are constrained by "things" -- what are the factors that make this experience so dreadful for patients and why are they not being changed?
The language in Neuromancer was almost impenetrable to me. You just have to accept it and let it wash over you, which creates a unique effect (practically literally, since everyone will have slightly different associations with the neo words). But the result is that the words are less memorable. What sticks are words that we know and somehow are half-associated. In retrospect, the book also teaches a thing about memory.
Um, this sounds like a perfectly enjoyable opening scene.

OPENING SCENE

EXT: Day(?), above a port. The sky is the color of a television, tuned to a dead channel

(I picture that either as a sort of uniform gray, or actually pixellated static. Just lighten up the sky in the opening scene of Blade Runner)

The main reason I don't want to see it is I can already "see" the whole movie in my head (because I scripted it when I read the book as a kid) and I know they're going to get all the details wrong.

The movie version of that line is a captivating opening screen. I'm afraid The Matrix stole its thunder, however, with its Warner Brothers logo in sapphire/terminal green with the flickering grey cloud background.

In fact, a lot of Neuromancer's elements were successfully implemented in The Matrix (crapsack protagonist helped towards his destiny by kick-ass ninja girl. Heist team that gets whittled down. rasta side-characters... Hell, even Morpheus drooling as he's being tortured by the Agents reminds me of Armitage breaking down) so I don't know how Neuromancer can transition to the screen without feeling too much like a rehash of The Matrix.

Yup, someone's suggested that. I might do it going forward, if it's allowed, but for the first day I tried to prioritize getting it out there.

Also, I have another project for which I store a huge amount of data, and as it turns out, data costs a lot of money to store! Depends on the size of the list, I might be better off paying for the Domainr API.

> It's not about the quality of the painting, it's about who made it.

I'm super pessimistic about the art world and I agree with you to some extent but I think what you are missing is that art/art history is a conversation amongst a bunch of stakeholders (artists, galleries, museums, critics, viewers, etc) and what is considered important art at any given moment changes as this conversation progresses.

Someone making a perfect classical oil painting today (without doing something to make it engage with the current conversation) is akin to coming up with the perfect come-back to an argument you had a week ago and then trying to bringing it up in an unrelated conversation today.

Often this is because the paint itself is a more expensive option. In the end, neutral colors sell the fastest and most consistently. Colored cars have a smaller market based on the buyers tastes.
