It is harsh but he helped people commit fraud against T Mobile and received 25 million for it, which must be a fraction of what his clients gained, or else they wouldn't pay him.

I am fairly sympathetic to white-collar crime but after he made his first million he could have sat down and thought about the morality of it all. He was already rich so he had the leisure time to contemplate perhaps not breaking the law...

Now, if he decided the law was immoral and it was correct to break it in protest then that is defensible but that's not the case here.

Instead, he continued to break the law but labeled it as “official t mobile unlocks” in order to trick people who had no intention of becoming criminal action into giving him money to do the crime. That to me is beyond the line.

For me, this is akin to selling weed labeled as expensive oregano because you want to expand your market beyond potheads. People deserve to know what they are getting into.
> The lock on the phone reduces the risk of nonpayment from the borrower

This seems pretty non-obvious to me. Maybe it reduces the incidence of straight-up theft, but if someone runs into financial difficulties and can't continue paying for service, they can get more on the used market with an unlocked phone and use that money to pay off the debt/exit the contract.

Obviously that's not an outcome the carrier wants, but now we're back to locking as a mechanism to keep people stuck to the carrier.
Facebook engineers don't need to explicitly change their algorithm to promote violence. They do it by negligence; by letting the algo maximize for engagememt regardless of the outcomes. Facebook spends most of it's moderation efforts in just a few countries and does relatively little for the rest.

https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-ranks-the-world-int...

It is not reasonable to moderate to a certain level in a few locations, thereby implicitly acknowledging such moderation is important, while then letting other "gardens" in other parts of the world run wild and untended.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/15/technology/myanmar-facebo...

Once the moderation has begun and leaders in the company have acknowledged that it is necessary for the good of the platform and the communities in which it operates, it ceases to become reasonable to say "oh well, what we meant was, moderation is needed where the profile is highest or will cause the most political/societal blow-back if we don't".
I appreciate this advice.
That does seem to be literally exactly what happened.

Nothing new or complex. Just the same model people used in the 1200s...
I guess if it’s simply paused forever instead of forgiven you don’t have to pay tax on the forgiven amount?
>ChatGPT and other Generative AI programs should not exist. They are not the kinds of things that someone who cares about human life would build. Nobody who understood the stakes of asserting that our lives are meaningless would participate in such an endeavor.

this is roughly the conclusion I've come to in the past few weeks. I hate what these things are doing to us. from now on there will always be a voice in the back of my head sneering "why bother, a robot could do it better" at any of my creative projects.

btw the other comments so far in this thread are dreadful. just dismissing it based on vibes and ad hominem. exactly the kind of corrosive nihilism the article is talking about.

EDIT I'm rate limited so I can't reply to manibus' comment directly, so it is here:

>“just stop sweetie, Leonardo Da Vinci already did it better 500 years ago.”

it's not the same thing. I might be one of those rare people who could become as good as da vinci with enough hard work. and if not, he was still the same kind of entity as me, a human being with flesh and blood, who lived and loved and died. when I look at his painting, my mind and leonardo's mind are touching each other, across a span of centuries. he wanted it to mean something, and I can take part in that meaning, and so can others. it's not about being the best, it's about being something. I don't resent leonardo for being a better thinker than me, I am glad that he was, he's a role model, a source of inspiration, and I'm proud to belong to the same species as him.

then one day someone invents a machine that can out-write anyone, out-draw anyone, out-sing, out-code, out-everything, everyone, ever. it runs 24/7 on electrical power, it exists nowhere and everywhere on the planet at once, it can scale up indefinitely with more GPUs and more data, it can never die. it spews forth artistic wonders, millions per second, until we become numb. and what kind of alien mind lurks on the other side?

I'm not mad that I'm not as good as the leonardo, I'm mad that leonardo can't be as good as the AI.

the old escape hatches don't work anymore. human creativity progressed in reaction to technological innovation. but previously it was innovation with respect to the physical world. mechanical reproduction of artifacts, not mechanical production of creativity itself. when photography was invented, realistic paintings weren't enough anymore, but then new genres and movements came about, and the world kept spinning. that won't work now. you cannot say, "oh I will just find new creative outlets to set me apart from the AIs"; the AIs will chase you and catch you, every time. all your labours are just more training data. more food for a parasite, sucking our lives dry.
Completely independent of the topic at hand, I want to point out to you that you ask for a lot more than you give throughout. You read as sincere which is why I think it’s important to note that that behavior can be used to very effectively intentionally derail a conversation by virtue of becoming a huge time sink.

I see that a lot of people gave rude or nonsense answers which is frustrating, but at the point where you are getting examples and coherent responses I think it’s important to take some responsibility and try to support their argument yourself. I typically find one of two outcomes 1) I find compelling information that causes me to change my mind 2) the best argument I can form is weak or nonsense, but at least others can see I’m invested in the conversation and that a detailed reply won’t go to waste.
I'm not a java man but a quick google leads to a lot of "10 java frameworks you should know", "17 popular java frameworks", and a "list of java frameworks" on Wikipedia that's dozens long.

Frontend wise it seems similar at a glance, in that you could use react for the last 10 years and be fine. Or you could jump from react to vue to svelte and make life hard for yourself.
FYI, TypeScript already supports nominal types, but the ways in which you "spell" `nominal` are a little unintuitive:

1. Use an enum

2. Use an intersection with an enum and literally anything else (except a number)

3. Use a private field (only works with classes)

4. Use a `declare const FOO: unique symbol` keyed object intersected with anything else (works with everything including numbers, lots of boilerplate to declare a new nominal type).
If the car knows that it's about to be in an unavoidable accident and it is at fault, it has acknowledged that it has fucked up. To think that Mercedes wouldn't find itself in an expensive legal battle the first time that this happens would be ridiculous.

But I would expect that the disengagement is much less abrupt than what Autopilot/FSD do. From [0]:

> After consulting with the engineer in the passenger seat, I closed my eyes completely, and just eight or nine seconds later a prompt popped up asking me to confirm I was still alert. I ignored it, which soon started the 10-second countdown toward disengagement.

Which makes sense: if the point of the system is for you to be able to turn around and help your kids for a few seconds or watch a TV show on the center console, they simply can't expect that they can ding and have you regain control instantly.

Sorry, I did not mean to insinuate anything resembling cover for these stablecoins. I do not own any and I never would. In fact, I only own Bitcoin and I don’t keep any on any exchange at all. This is the only way I would ever recommend when interacting with cryptocurrencies.
I'm talking about the everyday people. Mothers that don't think past "I don't want my kids seeing porn but I don't want to raise them myself so the government must do something about it." The politicians and the loudest proponents, they know what they're up to.
I'd still call myself a leftist. But like pretty much all rational people who've done any introspection at all: I'm now an alt right maniac because I'm willing to talk to people I disagree with and try to think things through from their perspective.

I masked up early since people wear masks in hospitals and people mask up in Asia when they're sick. That made me "anti-science"

I think free speech is actually important even if scumbags lie to people. I think that the government shouldn't have the ability to arbitrarily decide what is and isn't true from one day to the next, and they DEFINITELY shouldn't have this much soft power to shut down unwanted narratives through backchannels.

What's really funny about all this is that I can talk to my actual hard-right friends about this stuff, and they don't rage on me for being pro-trans or any other views they disagree about. We can talk about it, find the root of our disagreement, and then live in peace. The only Leftists I can get to that point with are others like myself who've been muscled out and branded dangerous alt-right lunatics.
First and foremost, electron runs on often outdated versions of chromium which are vulnerable to known 0days.

Electron RPC also makes it really easy to get RCE if you don't implement it properly, and most JavaScript developers don't implement it properly. Electron also does not have anywhere near as much security research into it.

What Is Zen? [video]
An audio recording of D.T. Suzuki's "What is Zen?"

In the era of large language models and the ethical and existential questions they raise, it seems useful to explore a variety of philosophical stances on language. Zen (as well as many other eastern ways of thinking) has a rich and beautiful relationship to language yet which starkly contrasts with the way language is typically studied and integrated into western thinking, and which I think could provide useful perspective into how we relate to LLMs going forward.

This article didn't price in opportunity cost.

It isn't just a $150k/annum expense on an individual SRE salary. One should consider the HR time to source candidates and time to interview. It would include the time your tech team is brought into system design and security meetings, time your tech leads spend in 1:1s. It may involve time for your CTO to document the part of your systems for enterprise customers who require full architecture details for their requisition process. It may involve time for your product team, business analysts or executives to be retrained on software that is unfamiliar and non-standard to them.

Most of these activities slow down critical parts of your business which could be focused on generating revenue. A fair accounting should attempt to estimate these costs. Consider: if you didn't disrupt the business and instead spent the same effort on revenue generating product features then how much could you earn?

And every individual is complex, with many opinions on many issues, including some that are probably contradictory. Still, call one national hero a pedophile, and most of your other opinions are suddenly irrelevant, aren't they?
Okay, then to summarize, you're saying there's lots of shady stuff with centralized exchanges, and more of them could go bankrupt, and people with fiat and shitcoins and bitcoin on deposit there could lose it.

There's a run on the bank, people want out, and the easiest way to get out is to sell your shitcoins and your bitcoin, and wire transfer dollars to your bank account.

With all the selling of bitcoin to raise cash, the price of bitcoin must drop.

And yet the bitcoin price is up six percent in the last seven days, so there must be some other mechanism at work.
That argument is completely unrelated.

If they were publishing "Elon has flown X miles, used Y fuel and created Z emissions in the past T time" that would be far different than what they do.

You are reaching for excuses that can't possibly apply. Perhaps you should ask why you'd go so far to excuse this doxxing, but not others.

I personally dislike Musk and view him as a conman. I take issue with several things he's done at Twitter and even more with what he's done at companies like Boring Company, Paypal, or Tesla (eg, promising the first car to the actual founder then launching it into space just to spite them).

People here just managed to find a thing where he happens to be right (whether it comes from personal pettiness or actual principle).

I'm gonna make a note on that when I have cycles to burn to experiment with htmx. From my understanding of reading that section, parameters being a container of kv pairs, I'd have to hack on the internals of htmx for it to be able to send a pure string (not form/multipart) as the body of a post/put request.

If I get around of experimenting with that, and it fits my flow, would that be something you'd accept back into the project as a contribution to the code?

I am not forgetting the existence of licensing concerns, but they are not exactly relevant.

A) The presence of licensing software is irrelevant to the existence of something between a big box store and the App Store. Talking about the ecosystem as if people did not sell software electronically before the App Store is simply disingenuous.

B) Times have changed, it's easier to handle that stuff yourself using free software or with software packages that take less than a 30% cut.

C) You know what didn't need that licensing software? Free and/or OSS software. That simply isn't an option on iOS. Further, even if you wanted to enforce that on your paid software you may have used a publishing company, but you weren't artificially limited to a single one.
If I go to a car dealer and sign on the dotted line to buy a car, I've committed to buying the car. It doesn't matter if tomorrow, before I've taken delivery, I decide I hate that car brand and want a different one. You don't get to "change your mind" AFTER you sign the contract!

I've looked at a few of those and I still don't understand. Also, hilariously, several of them are already broken. (Like the table one that's not updating.)

You know you are losing an argument when you call the literal facts (tweets) saying you wouldn't do something that you did a nothing burger. Musk can do whatever he wants, and we can all make fun of him for being so obviously self serving and foolish.
They aren't running a non-profit.

Precisely the point.

$10 billion is a decent hit to the bottom line. They can choose to try and absorb it, but it typically rolls down to the consumer somehow.

If not, I can see a dead simple way to add $10 billion to profit --- shut down Alexa.

Neither of these options inspires a lot of confidence in the future of the product.
Elon Musk tweeted out a Weekly World News-tier conspiracy about Paul Pelosi. That's not moderately right of center - that's social media brain rot. I read that article and would personally be embarrassed to associate with any person who thought even for a second that article was credible.
The Fed's dual mandate is to "maintain price stability" and to "ensure maximum stable employment", both of which are only accomplished through explicit manipulation of the economy. They're an enormously powerful entity, and if they're actually accomplishing their goals, do help keep the economy running smoothly (most specifically, IMO, by improving the confidence of people to make long-forecast economic decisions), but when they get it wrong, they have the potential to cause damage at a scale nearly unrivaled by anyone else.
Unfortunately this sort of mining has long-term impacts on deep sea ecology. It causes substantial loss of species diversity and activity even 26 years later, with this paper estimating recovery will take at least 50 years for a small test patch.

How does that relate to their statement:

"the Committee decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 4-1/4 to 4-1/2 percent."

That looks like a 1/4 percent raise, but then the language is weird to me (_to_ 4-1/4 to 4-1/2 percent", wouldn't one say from 4-1/4 to 4-1/2 percent)
> rest of society's phone bills higher

this implies that the price of a phone bill is connected to the price of operating the service. The price is set by what they think they can get, not how much it costs to run.
Agreed that it is a breath of fresh air. It totally eliminates heavy complexity in the development environment and networking protocol layers. What makes me happy is that it completely reinvigorates the server side language you prefer to use.
Student loan forgiveness is limited to $10k.

The leveling system is a bit off. Level 3 doesn't mean "better" than Level 2. A Level 2 system might actually offer the best safety profile of any of the Levels. That's what I'm getting at: there's a lot of runway in Level 2 systems, and I think they'll be so good that it will kill momentum for Level 3+ systems.

That's old and "expired" data from over thirty years ago and the family member I'm discussing is open about it, now. What needs to stay quiet (in this instance) is operational details, not that this person did the work. So your point doesn't really stand. I felt it was useful information and it was information that was safe for me to share, so I did.

The Financial Times article is, of course, intended to promote the service to women and it really doesn't hide that fact. You can bet that MI6 reviewed the article before it went to publication and everything in there was vetted a thousand times. It wouldn't shock me if small, fake biographical details were added into the article to obscure who these people really are. We don't know. The fact is, though, that since this piece is probably meant to advertise the service and-- given where it was printed-- it's probably directed at Oxbridge women. That is, women who have more job mobility than most. MI6 wants women to know that they won't be viewed as honey pots and that they can have a family. So the article is probably going to be an accurate representation at some level: since these particular women can leave if they want to, you don't want to misrepresent what they're getting into if you intend to keep them.

>so that the Germans could (try to) teach them how to fix the panel gaps

Not a Tesla owner or fan but I have a question that's really bugging me now: Which customers really care about panel gaps?

Do average joes, SUV driving soccer moms or suburban white collar workers go around with a ruler measuring their panel gaps with others like "yeah your Tesla is cool and all, but sorry, my Audi A5 has much tighter panel gaps which is what matters most you know"?

When has the panel gap became "the benchmark" indicative of car quality beyond the body shell?

Like, if the panel gaps are the only thing you can find wrong in a car, then it must be a really really good car, right?

Is there any proven evidence that the panel gaps corelate to quality and reliability of the rest of the car, or is it just a myth of the car enthusiasts community that got spread around and went too far? I get it, some Tesla are unreliable and built poorly, but it's not because they have big panel gaps. The reverse is also true for many cars, so this isn't a rule.

Sure, if you want to measure and compare panel gaps, then by all means go ahead and measure panel gaps, but please don't pretend they mean anything more than that, and that it's somehow an indicative for the car's overall quality and reliability, because so far there hasn't been any proof of this correlation.
