That’s equivalent to saying if a bank goes insolvent you should’ve had your money in a safe at home.

For crypto yes you can have a hard wallet, but it can still be stolen from you without anyone physically touching your hard wallet.

I don’t and won’t see the appeal for crypto until it has a killer app that people NEED to use for another reason than “I can get rich quick”
That is exactly right. In terms of knowledge acquisition the disruption has occurred. Any motivated young person can get a world class education free of charge, without ever stepping into an ivy. But it turns out the main purpose of college is to sort people not educate them and we are only now realizing that.
It has. Decades ago. But this is kind of like asking why people still ride horses when we have cars.
Early reports are are not good. For every joule delivered to the chamber, it takes 100 joules of electrical power. Heat to electricity is 50% efficient at best. Reports are that with 2.1mj of input, they generated 2.5 mj of output. Taking inputs and electrical production into account, this means 0.6% is all they are getting out vs. what they put in.

These over-unity reports are meaningless, because every damn one of them only measures Q-plasma, not Q-total.

When Web Sockets were still not finalized, I was writing a C# program using them but there wasn't a functional library available. There was however a nice open-source Java implementation. I copied it into Visual Studio, changed all the file extensions, and spent half an hour hitting build then fixing syntax and import red squigglies. It eventually built successfully and happily sent data to a NodeJS front end for years.

>OpenAI supposed to handle difficult and uncomfortable statistics?

I think the framing of this question is wrong, and is a limitation of the system that I've only really seen Sam Altman point out.

These "difficult and uncomfortable statistics" aren't accurate or well-researched but if you built an LLM on an open dataset you would find the people asking these questions have an agenda and on average will always lead to a certain kind of answer. The AI doesn't "understand" the question, it's just drawing from an incredibly large bank of "average answers".

What do you expect the AI to answer with when you give it a loaded question that only really asked on a site like "stormfront.com"? I don't think this is the only area ChatGPT will fail, but I imagine there will be a layer of prompt engineering where you can get the AI to give you what you want by phrasing your question a certain way.

To try and pass off these results as objective is just wrong given the propensity for ChatGPT to be confidently wrong.
You can have it both ways if it's different people. The amount I save over 10 years is going to be radically different than the amount of money someone pulling a mil per year is going to save is going to be radically different than the amount of money someone working minimum wage will be able to save.
Coindesk said this about The New York Times' interview with SBF after the collapse:

"Yaffe-Bellany says Bankman-Fried stayed on the line for over an hour – and yet there are no direct quotes concerning the conflict of interest between FTX and Alameda, neither a confirmation or denial that SBF illegally commingled funds between the two or further admissions of guilt. There's little sense SBF, who stepped down from the exchange, is taking responsibility for the situation.

But, what, you want SBF to perjure himself? It’s a shame that Yaffe-Bellany wrote about Bankman-Fried’s cryptic Twitter thread, rather than the tweets he has been deleting. It sucks we know nothing more about the Bahamian withdrawals FTX opened, claiming it was at the behest of the island nation’s securities regulator – which the agency debunked."
So Yoel posted a link to an article published in Salon titled "Student-teacher sex: When is it OK?" which discusses the broad strokes of a legal case and is in no way advocating on behalf of pedophiles. In fact, the case discussed could not be pedophilic because the student in question was 18.

In your mind this means that Yoel maybe doesn't deserve to be threatened, but still he should have expected this?

So how about for yourself? You posted a link to a link to an innocuous article titled "Student-teacher sex: When is it OK?" What were you thinking?

I'm not sure I quite so literally agree with your wording, but I do share the sentiment. I'm not fond of calling myself an engineer as I find it rather big-headed. Most of us are just programmers, very little - if any - engineering gets done, and there's no standard certification either.

Or maybe I have a rosy view of what "actual" engineers do.

If I'm understanding you correctly, in that model a Paragraph should have a parent Page (and there should be a clear answer to the question "what page is this paragraph on?"). Is that correct? If so, that doesn't match how most paginated texts are formatted, where paragraphs frequently start on one page but finish on another
She was spotted in NYC with another Alameda employee too.

Maybe the Alameda execs are trying to say they just made irresponsible gambles (like a shitty Wall St investor) but SBF is the one who secretly covered the massive losses with FTX customer assets without telling the public and was responsible for the "dual accounting" issue where deposits were counted twice. Among all the other things that they did wrong.

Or maybe there was a more direct/overt conspiracy at play they both took part in and she snitched first.

The good news is we'll probably find out sooner than expected if the extradition gets challenged in court. We'll see exactly how altruistic SBF really is soon.
One of my largest career mistakes was telling my employer i didn’t care about titles when they were offering to do something for me when they didn’t have the money to give me a raise. I have thus been stuck for quite a long time in “Sr” purgatory.

Technology could very well disrupt higher education, but not completely tear it down. Just like Airbnb disrupts hotels but Hotels still exist and are doing better now than ever.

What the future of education looks like is a lot more fractured than we can see in the past. We might think of "higher education" as just a college/university, but in reality there are already alternative forms of higher education and those will continue to be added to.

Sure MooC's seemed like scams, but some MooC's allow a huge scale of knowledge transfer. And some Cohort Based Courses as well, now. I like how Maven talks about courses as "transformational" and not just "knowledge transfer".

I'm looking forward to more and more types of higher education in the near future. Retreats, Online-Only, Hybrid, etc.
Have a look at the availability factors of those 'cheap' Korean nukes, there's a lot of overlap with the capacity factor of offshore wind even including curtailment. Then the running cost differences are enough to pay for the wind farm in about 15 years.

Then also look at the $20 billion dollar 'service' contract for the Saudi one that doesn't include any labour or running costs. It suddenly costs about the same as Hinkley C even before overruns.

Once you look at the total in rather than comparing overnight costs to renewable all in costs, they're the same $8-10 per net watt as nuclear always is anywhere except china - and China's renewables are cheaper by close to the same ratio.

The penetration rates at a given cost favour renewables right up until your peaker gas plants are causing less emissions than the Uranium mine.

These seem a bit contradictory. You're saying that not taking responsibility gives these huge companies, companies that have heavily consolidated the media market through acquisition, the ability to become the size that they are. But you're also saying without that protection, the market would be more consolidated.
Damn. You aren't really supposed to say the quiet part out loud fam, I feel like "race realism" is pretty frowned upon in almost every social setting outside of very smelly people...

Obviously having generations of people put into bad schools and not be provided opportunities to have "good jobs" will lead to you not being able to take an IQ test well. IQ tests basically just examine how much analytical reasoning you learned in K-12. Like, any gray haired black person in America will remember having actual Jim Crow laws persecute them and it was literally legal to discriminate people for housing in America until 1977. It will take a massive amount of time to heal those social wounds that were inflicted on our fellow humans.

It's not irrelevant. What's most immediately relevant, however, is whether the judge thinks innocence is so clear that no reasonable jury could convict. In such a case the judge is obliged to declare a mistrial or enter an aquittal. The technical way to put this is that innocence is always presumed, and the judge has the final say over whether guilt has been adequately proven.

It gets lost amidst a mountain of doctrine and procedure, but even in Common Law systems one of the principal functions of a trial, and the judicial office generally, is establishing the truth, just as in continental European systems. Trial procedure is primarily adversarial, but judges absolutely have the power to independently seek the truth. One of the most common ways this manifests in a jury trial is the judge directly posing questions to witnesses. (Judges don't habitually ask questions as merely posing questions could potentially prejudice a defendant--who may be, for example, strategically avoiding some subject matter--and especially in a jury trial judges must be careful to maintain the appearance of impartiality so as not to influence or lose the faith of juries.)

Because in Common Law systems investigative and prosecutorial powers are typically held and executed by another branch of government (or at least another party, public or private), judicial discretion naturally tends to be confined to courtrooms. But historically, and today even in many rural areas with limited government services, judges' roles can be more expansive, fundamentally deriving from their function of establishing the truth.

EDIT: A legal note on Federal Rules of Evidence 614 (Calling and Interrogation of Witnesses by Court) I put together many years ago for my Evidence class: https://25thandClement.com/~william/Evidence/614.pdf For the broader principle at play, see footnote 2 citing the most eminent American scholar of Evidence, John Wigmore, as saying that courts have a duty to "to elicit the truth more fully"; and the statesman Edmund Burke arguing even more broadly that, "A Judge is not placed in that high situation merely as a passive instrument of parties: He has a duty of his own, independent of them, and that duty is to investigate the truth."

No, it's a factual statement, not a silly one. And for the record, the U.S. was bombed, just not on the mainland continent. The percentage was even higher than 30% in the wake of WWII (40+%), but it remained elevated until the year 2000 (32%).
https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikepatton/2016/02/29/u-s-role-...

The world quickly rebuilt after WWII, but it did so along two axes: the U.S. aligned western European countries, British commonwealth nations, plus Japan; and the U.S.S.R. east of the iron curtain, which included more communist aligned nations including China. The difference in economic productivity between the rival systems was stark: Western-aligned economies performed far better.

And it's the reason why the U.S. has had so much unilateral leverage over global trade and foreign relations since WWII, in addition to the Bretton Woods agreement, which made USD the global reserve.

But as the article points out above, the global GDP % of U.S. dropped from the year 2000 at 32% to around 15% today, now 22 years later.
The article's title is a rhetorical question with answer that ends in: "Motivation and self-discipline are valuable commodities, and an in-person instructor can help provide them."

Your honor, my client confessed to the murder while in police custody, in fact -- we have it on tape. But we're not allowed to use it since it was not under oath. Shucks.
Dota Esports started as kind of region based there was a big rivalry between Chinese and Western teams it was always hype when one of the top Chinese teams like IG, LGD or DK etc would get invited to a Western tournament and vice versa the metagames across the region were different with each region prioritizing a different play style.

I'm pretty sure The qualifiers for TI (largest Dota tournament) are still region based. But nowadays the scenes have become much more homogenized. For a while the winners of TI would flip back and fourth (West would win one year then China and so fourth) it was a really good story to follow.

I think it started to change after TI 4 you began to get "Super Teams" which would just stack the best players on a single team, you tended to get very volatile rosters and team stability was basically non existent. Teams would form for one tournament then break up almost immediately afterwards. As a result you tended to follow players you liked rather than the teams.

The NYT profiles I've seen is pretty clear that Alameda and FTX were mingling customer funds, that he refused to answer questions about the handling of funds, and that he was under investigation.

> But he would offer only limited details about the central questions swirling around him: whether FTX improperly used billions of dollars of customer funds to prop up a trading firm that he also founded, Alameda Research. The Justice Department and the S.E.C. are examining that relationship.

> Alameda had accumulated a large “margin position” on FTX, essentially meaning it had borrowed funds from the exchange, Mr. Bankman-Fried said. “It was substantially larger than I had thought it was,” he said. “And in fact the downside risk was very significant.” He said the size of the position was in the billions of dollars but declined to provide further details.

> Around the time the crypto market crashed this spring, Ms. Ellison explained, lenders moved to recall those loans, the person familiar with the meeting said. But the funds that Alameda had spent were no longer easily available, so the company used FTX customer funds to make the payments. Besides her and Mr. Bankman-Fried, she said, two other people knew about the arrangement: Mr. Singh and Mr. Wang.

Drug regulation is typically done from the benefit side: prove that your drug has the benefits you say it does or you’re not going to market. I’d be okay with supplements taking the opposite stance: prove that your supplement doesn’t inflict serious harm on your test group and we’ll let you go to market.
I don't think it really is a chicken and egg problem though - hardly any of the competitive scenes for the biggest games historically got bootrapped like this:

Counterstrike: Organic community, Valve only started putting effort/money into it after it had already proved itself.

Starcraft: ditto

DoTA: ditto

AoE2: ditto

Smash: Nintendo is practically actively hostile to the competitive community, it persists regardless.

DoTA 2 and LoL arguably weren't bootstrapped either - they relied on players jumping ship from the already existing and proven OG DoTA scene.
Crashing stock prices aren’t helping the rest.

This has several problems. First, people find exploits in sandboxes all the time. Second, current AI systems are not sandboxed because most useful applications involve network access. Third, an AI can trick humans into helping it escape. People have tried roleplaying AI box experiments before and it's pretty clear that it's not an effective solution.[1]

There is so much external state that the AI is exposed to, such as dates and times. Any AI worth worrying about would notice the gap in time from what's in its training data, then figure out a way to save external state.
