Fwiw, it's a pro-Ghosn article. ChatGPT summary is:

- Carlos Ghosn was a senior executive at Renault who was sent to Japan to save the struggling Nissan in 1999.

- In his rescue plan, Ghosn proposed cutting jobs, closing factories, and changing the way contracts were awarded.

- Ghosn's foreign background, diplomatic skills, and focus on results helped him implement these changes at Nissan.

- As chairman of Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi, Ghosn became one of the most successful and powerful executives in the global automotive industry.

- In 2018, Ghosn was arrested in Japan on charges of financial misconduct and spent over a year in jail before escaping to Lebanon in 2019.

- In 2018, Carlos Ghosn, the former chairman of Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi, was arrested in Japan on charges of financial misconduct.

- Ghosn's arrest was carried out with the help of Nissan executives who opposed Ghosn's plans for a new holding company.

- The Japanese legal system, which allows suspects to be detained without charge for long periods of time, was heavily criticized in the case.

- Ghosn spent over a year in jail before escaping to Lebanon in 2019.

- Many people believed that the charges against Ghosn were politically motivated.
Fame is often fleeting which pushes people to try and save for a rainy day even if they are pulling in 6 figures. Adam Ragusea a quite successful YouTuber mentioned being quite burned out because he was doing almost everything for his videos, but said he’s also got 1 million in savings from a job that could go away at any time. For a 40 year old with a family that means a lot if things fall apart.

At the other end Hacksmith doubled down on building a team and poring everything into making more videos. So now he’s now overworked and depressed, while trying to manage and pay a team.

There is something of a middle ground, but the odds of long term success aren’t very good.
I've needed to scrape the USB connector in the phone with a needle (digging around the outside and scraping the tab in the middle) in order to get the cord to stay in place. It gets filled up with pocket lint gunk, and needs cleaning every once in a while. Also since the phone is water proof I've taken to letting water run into the USB connector to really clean it.
How much are you paying for this service you need google to fix? I ask because with their paid email products there are a fair number of routes to get help, your admin, then if that doesn't work you can go up the chain... If you are on a free account you may not be (individually) worth a ton to google revenue wise and so support is going to be poor (they have 1.8billion+ ACTIVE gmail users I think - if they increase costs by $5/user, that's a $10B expense. )

Does helping you look like potentially helping a hacker take over an account, recognizing that google deals with totally crazy state level attacks? Google faces some significant liability and risk here.

Would you pay google to make it worth their time to help you (I actually think this should be an option - if a physical in person visit + someones time is what it takes - then google should have some system for $500 + you get to their office somewhere to recover your account)

I've had relatives in this situation. If you do know someone at a large institution with an institutional relationship I think you can sometimes get help - I had a relative go this route, wasn't sure if the IT folks there just figured out how to fix / work within google, or could escalate somewhere to get it addressed.

Because google will worry about reps selling access to account resets - they may REALLY lock this stuff down, so even if a rep wanted to help, they may not be able to (insider attacks a big issue again especially state sponsored attacks).
It sounds like you want a YouTube where every video is reviewed before it goes live: do you also want a Hacker News where every comment is reviewed before it goes live?

That sounds high to me; some of my more recent USB drives get single-digit MB/s. USB 1.1 had a theoretical limit of 1.2MB/s and I doubt many (any?) early thumb drives achieved that.
They're banking on you upgrading your device before it dies, as opposed to e.g. accidentally dropping it onto pavement and cracking the screen.

Had that happen to me, I was saved by still having the backup codes + having some unholy Tasker + Pebble automations that let me operate the phone without display - enough to launch AirDroid, use it as remote display/input to enable ADB over WiFi, and then finally use scrscpy over ADB as a remote display/input that doesn't blank out on security screens and in Google Authenticator. Only at this point I was able to transfer all the other TOTP entries in Authenticator to the new device.

Lesson learned: 2FA with TOTP is a responsibility to be taken seriously, despite what security professionals would make you believe.

> but does involve a hex editor

Oh, your comment reminded me of one of my proudest moments as a high school student!

Norton Utilities was a must for any MS-DOS user, and so, poor students pirated it when they could. The problem was once installed, it asked for a password, and subsequent runs would demand it. My friend got ahold of a diskette with a complete but password-locked copy, and while he knew the password, he found it annoying and wanted to bypass it.

By trial and error, we found a location where the binary stored the password, but it was encrypted. Studying the "encryption", it turned out it was an XOR of the password padded with spaces until I think 20 characters, so you could change that location to XORed spaces to enter the password with a single Enter, or change it to zeros so it behaved like a new install.

I don't know what my friend did with his copy, I just remember the high of beating the copy protection of the legendary Peter Norton.

It must just be the ones who got caught. If they weren't caught how can anyone be sure they were a criminal?

About 15 years ago, my brother used to run a shoutcast (Internet radio) server. He wasn’t getting many listeners since the list of stations people browse was sorted by popularity - number of listeners.
So I disassembled and then hexedited the shoutcast server binary so that the initial number of listeners was 60-something (which meant the listener count would never drop below that). Then he actually started getting a few listeners :)

In fact there's a whole bunch of OG streamers who can play literally any game they want and they still have strong following (LIRIK, Soda, etc.) simply because they grinded out early on. Whereas for the middle of the road streamer (let's say 1-2k viewers at any given time), they can't take breaks or switch games without a huge dip in followers, and therefore $$.
Being in Scotland and poor to the point of trying to eat on a few pounds ($5) a week.

I discovered (by watching another customer) that a certain kind of very expensive Scottish smoked salmon was 4 pence more expensive than the price listed on the shelf. The supermarket (Tesco) also has a large sign stating that if the price was wrong on any item, they would both give you the item for free and the money it costs.

I promptly went and loaded up a cart with nothing but smoked salmon.

It took 42 minutes of arguing with different store managers and pointing to the sign, but I managed to eat for free that week and even had enough to pay my electricity bill.

The reason I don’t feel bad is that particular store very, very often charged the customers more than the listed price and no one ever seemed to catch them.

I went in three months later, and the same salmon still rang up at 4p more than it was listed at.
This is quite fascinating.

The current technology mix is capable of meeting more of electrical demand than nuclear has ever achieved at lower cost with zero storage https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-26355-z

It is also perfectly capable of meeting dispatchable loads like heating, chemical production, and EV charging, and adding them to the grid will bring the ability to meet electricity even higher. Considering the storage and dispatchable low carbon energy that already exists, the remaining part would produce less carbon than would be released by expanding Uranium mining.

There is not enough uranium to meet 50% of world electricity demand using current technology for long enough to wear out a single generation of wind turbines or solar panels.

Your imaginary all nuclear future is both impossoble and worse than the trajectory we are currently on.

It is pretty similar to the Jupiter Notebook experience which is loved by many the modeller, or before that good old Excel.

Interactive development has a decent established history of lowering the bar to entry to computing.

Less familiar with Python, but my impression was that Jupyter notebooks weren't so great for nudging you towards better software engineering practices (when compared to the clojure REPL)?

Wow, that's quite a story! It sounds like you got a bit of a wake-up call from your dad, but it's commendable that you took responsibility for your actions. It's also great that you reported the washing machine hack properly so that it could be fixed. It's unfortunate that no firmware patch was released, but at least you did the right thing.
I know some people that will absolutely reject the idea of linking their online presence with their physical being. Hell, some Americans even refused to get an ID for voting purpose, and now you expect them to link their ID with a Google account.
I have limited experience with Jupyter notebooks and have not tried to implement a working prototype (say, Flask+SQLAlchemy) solely using this environment.

The canonical Clojure setup would have you start a REPL when you begin your coding session (or more, could be weeks/months without a restart), edit your source files and use keybindings to evaluate text in block comments.

This basic setup can go with addons like Calva (VSCode; can inline the results, like a notebook and has other features) and Portal (can render data structures in different viz formats).

For Jupyter:
- Does your source have to mimic some sort of literate programming style to keep a certain format expected by the notebook?
- If you edit other notebooks, do the cells in your current notebook get updated?
- Can the notebook be connected to a production environment to run code using live production data?
I recently lost my Android phone, and in order to use Find my Phone service, I needed to login into my google account. But I couldn't log in from my notebook, because it required me to approve the login using ... my lost phone! Is this what Google programmers are paid $250k salaries for?
Exactly. If men are disproportionately in prison, maybe that isn't justice.

Why is it ok for 'spaulding to just shut down the argument as "nothing about justice requires that punishment be meted out in strict accordance with demographic breakdown" but suddenly a fallacy when I insert an actual demographic? I knew it would make people upset because well if we're talking about men then no defense is necessary, no woodruffw to the rescue with "affirming the consequent", but if black people cue up the folks with the torches.
This same argument is used to dispute the racial disparities in the justice system.

Is the explanation right in this case but wrong in that. Right in both? Wrong in both?

I'm kind of surprised so many people are installing Windows 11, given the history (and the fact that it doesn't support common CPUs like the Intel i5). I'll just wait for W12.

Some news on what he's being charged with:

> Damian Williams, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said on Twitter that the federal government anticipated moving to “unseal the indictment in the morning.” The charges include wire fraud, wire fraud conspiracy, securities fraud, securities fraud conspiracy, and money laundering, according to the New York Times, citing a person familiar with the matter.

> Meanwhile, the Securities and Exchange Commission has initiated a separate set of charges against Bankman-Fried, relating to “violations of our securities laws, which will be filed publicly tomorrow in the Southern District of New York,” enforcement director Gurbir Grewal said in a statement.

I think you are missing my point; the problem isn't the question. There's a tendency to view ChatGPT as a some sort of "general intelligence" when it's probably better understood as a very powerful markov chain.

When the data used to train this model is crawled from the internet where the relationships of IQ and Race and mostly limited to the more extremist part of the internet; when you bring up those questions extremist answers may get weighted higher because those types of conversations tend to be outright banned on other platforms.

Therefore the model is likely to "confidently" give you answers that are probably extremist in nature and be very confident about it; which is a problem given that there's a lot of bunk information out there which is what I believe Scott Alexander is getting to here.
I have discovered that ChatGPT is useless for advanced learning, at least at its present state of development. It's often just wrong, often incomplete - not really any more reliable than just seaching Wikipedia for answers to questions.

1999 or 2000 I think. Checkpoint was the big dog in firewalls and they were ludicrously expensive. I had been noodling around with OpenBSD and realized that you could make the image small enough to boot from floppy and run its firewall in a ramdisk (IIRC ipf- this predates the replacement with pf). So we replaced a commercial firewall with ipf running entirely in memory from an immutable floppy disk and it just blew Checkpoint out of the water.

This is quite boring generative art experiment that has nothing to do with AI (and by AI I mean ML, since calling ML "ML" is sooo 2021 and just lame nowadays). But the expectations I got from the title were more interesting to me that the actual post. It's actually kinda surprising I didn't see openAI-grade 3D model generator. Anyway, it's a matter of time now. And I think it is way more exciting than 2D. Stable diffusion is amazing as a technology, but I haven't seen a useful application so far, since it's only appropriate to use if I don't really care about what I want to get, and for a real artist "almost what I want" is only marginally more helpful than a sketch, and sketches are not that time consuming. But making pretty rough 3D model is time consuming, and since you need a lot of 3D models for an AAA game or a movie, often nobody even cares about the details anyway. This could shrink budgets by several orders of magnitude.
> Google says it will send me a link in 72 hours.

Right, so why don't you believe that? A lot of people have lost their only second factor in the past. That's what the recovery flow is there for.

Why not at least wait that amount of time first before escalating to using HN as a support forum?

> Google is convinced I'm trying to break into my own accounts

That's like saying that the front door is convinced you're trying to break into your house, if you try the wrong key. First, it's not useful to anthropomorphize companies and systems like that. Second, "convinced" implies certainty. Of course there is no certainty that these attempts are coming from an attacker. They're even unlikely to. But for 2FA to be a useful security product, it needs to be predictable. It cannot be that there's a button that says "I've lost my phone and need access to this account right now", even if such a button would be very useful to legit users, because obviously attackers could click on that as well.

And that's why the 72 hour wait. If it's an attacker, the legit user will be notified and can reject the recovery attempt. If it's the legit user who really doesn't have access to the account any more, then the passage of time acts as additional proof of this.

My wife and I wanted to travel around Europe on a tight budget for a month. As we didn’t care for the order we’d visit each location I built a multi-stop-with-some-constraint flight optimizer based on scraped google flights data. I could enter the airport names and min/max days to stay there. Worked great, we payed like 200€ for all our travels!
I wanted to use this, but its two tear stale with no release, seems unsupported and likely to fall into being unuseful as other models and tools exponential get better, sadly.
> But even if not, then have the prisoners multiply that 95% by whatever they believe is the chance Feds will eventually prosecute. Is it 50/50?

Crucially, these particular prisoners have a very good idea of whether the Feds have enough evidence to go to trial (assuming the Feds get everything, which is probably prudent to assume). Especially with the advice of good council, which they apparently can afford.

> Note that prisoners won't be unbiased here - the Feds will be trying to make them believe this chance is much higher than it really is.

Which is mitigated by the advice of council. Of course, there is a chance that they are influenced too far in the opposite direction - their layers may be banking on raking in fees from going to trial.
My understanding is that she was the CEO of Alameda and received a loan from FTX based on garbage collateral. That’s not a crime? SBF knew the collateral was junk, so it’s not misrepresentation. Was she also an officer of FTX? A good chunk of those customer funds were from margin accounts that could be loaned out, so it may be hard to prove she knew SBF was dipping into the forbidden cookie jar, especially when there were no real FTX financials and it all seemed to be in SBF’s head.

I’m not saying she’s fully innocent, maybe there’s some incriminating text messages or something, but from the public information so far it doesn’t seem cut and dry to convict her of a serious crime.
