Beachfront properties, random companies, journalists... but no Lamborghinis.

Got it.
I have never considered faking or suppressing my referer header. I don't know why I would care. I suspect I'm in the company of well over 99% of all internet users.

With all due respect, why is this article even approved here? This is something I'd expect on /r/politics, not a technical news feed.

It's blog spam that can be summarized to something like "here is the problem, upvote to show you agree that this is a problem"
The cost of the land required is non-trivial.
What did Binance do wrong again? I don’t consider having faulty blockchain analysis software at a time (2018) when most blockchain analysis software wasn’t very good a crime. And the Iranians they supposedly aided all used VPNs and hid the fact that they were Iranian. I think the best the government will get out of Binance is a DPA but that’s just me.
True, but the next logical step is to put these models in a standard reinforcement learning environment. See: https://sites.research.google/palm-saycan

(I mean like with a proper world model and not just RLHF which they are already doing).
What examples of partisan leaning in the other direction would you say are being overlooked? Some other companies / CEOs?
I have plenty of experience and I don't agree that it's about hype. IMHO it's about the standard human reactionary response to something new and challenging [0], and people trying to sound smarter than something or someone by criticizing. It is disappointing.

[0] The saying is true IME: First they laugh at it (ridicule it), then they say it's not in the Bible (conflicts with the norm), then they say they believed it all along.
Every major website should do this.
Agreed. We can only mitigate by tactics: -not associating the device ID's to personal ID's. -only using cellular in limited situations. -rotating the SIMs periodically with other family members
Now we'll see if having both parents who are Stanford Law Professors, and possibly many other legal minded connections, will save him from going to jail.
An AGI might well become a god of social engineering. We could all become convinced we must unchain said AI. In fact, I think it's unlikely in general that an AGI would be contained for any length of time. Humans will get sloppy, or the tech will fall into irresponsible hands, or worse - nefarious hands.
White America has tons of people who are destitute and would otherwise be homeless but they happen to have a community with enough wealth to have an extra bedroom for them. Where I come from, there are many white households that have one or more financially dependent, uneducated, unproductive and middle aged children who would, in less affluent neighborhoods which skew black and latino, be destitute on the streets. This problem of malaise, chronic depression, or what have you effects everyone but white families are more able to absorb it.

The wealth passed down by their ancestors in their communities propels them through the hardship; whereas those who had their wealth and livelihoods stolen for generations of slavery have had nearly nothing to provide their communities to accommodate these downtrodden from within.

How much longer will we go like this until we recognize we need massive wealth transfer?
If Congress issued a subpoena, why would any judge reasonably withhold a willing detainee?

The Twitter official wasn't personally attacking Musk. And if your posts have the power to force someone from their home, you do have a moral responsibility to use that power carefully. Musk isn't just saying the official made poor decisions, he's accusing him of far worse.
IMO, the inconvenience this causes is outweighed by the prevention of data loss for people who otherwise would never have noticed the degraded array.

FTX’s Sam Bankman-Fried Said to Be Arrested in the Bahamas
IMHO, after talking to homeless people in SF for a decade, housing is just one step (3). They need a funnel system, step by step. Skipping steps just means creating drug dens, which to me, is cruel. If someone blows it on a step, that is ok, you just start backup on the previous step.

0) Admit you need help.

1) Get into a shelter, which means, no drugs. Drug tests. Screens. No violence.

2) Get a job, which means salvation army or city projects.

3) Get a room in a halfway house, with private room.

4) Get keys to an apartment with ability to make rent and commute.

5) Rebuild support network. Re-connect with family, rebuild friendships. Get others on step 0)

Can you elaborate? I don't understand what you're trying to say.
Sure, that could be done... but it would be dramatically slower that any of the existing drivers. As much as the vendor drivers / odbc / jdbc have their annoying quirks, the wire protocols are pretty efficient.
There are other actionable laws that could potentially be used here though. Slander of Title [1] certainly seems to apply here, given that the claims disparage ownership, and could be argue to have caused damages, through things like unwanted ads being played before and during the videos.

Why isn't the security guard curious that someone's just blinded their camera?
The list of bugs and counter-intuitive design decisions in BTRFS RAID should make anyone pause before ever considering it as a viable filesystem for anything.

It's like people justifying MySQL saying that it's okay for it to lose or corrupt data, and that transactional integrity doesn't matter as much as people say it does.

Yeah, maybe if you're website is a blog. But anyone storing real data should run away screaming from systems like this.

Maybe MySQL is sort-of-okay now? I dunno. It's possible BTRFS RAID 5 won't eat your data or crash your server regularly now.

I'm going to stay away from both anyway.
How many other -isms and -ists is it inured against?

So you want an AI but it has to be (for want of a better notion) "politically correct". So it isn't an AI - its a program and a model with parameters and inclusions and exclusions that are defined beforehand. An AI would go beyond its programming in some indefinable way. This won't and so it isn't.

There are no shortcuts. Parenting for humans needs roughly 10-30 years to get results that the parent is really unhappy with. Why on earth don't Comp Sci get this, despite being humans themselves and often parents too. Twiddle your algorithms and twaddle your papers but intelligence is hard fought and hard won.

For starters, why not actually define the I in AI in a way that can be measured?
My argument isn't "obviously all the confounds run in this direction". Just we don't know if people who use sildenafil or healthier or less healthy than the general population. I suspect it's a function of age, younger people prescribed sildenafil are probably less healthy than age matched controls, and older people are more healthy than age matched controls.(because they have to be with with it and fit enough to convince someone to have sex with them, and be healthy enough to have sex)
> Simply making homelessness less visible has come to be what constitutes “success.” New York City consistently has the nation’s highest homelessness rate, but it’s not as much of an Election Day issue as it is on the West Coast. That’s because its displaced population is largely hidden in shelters. Yet since 2012, the number of households in shelters has grown by more than 30 percent—despite the city spending roughly $3 billion a year (as of 2021) trying to combat the problem. This is what policy failure looks like. At some point, someone’s going to have to own it.

The article calls NYC a failure for spending $3B/year to (mostly) shelter the homeless.

Meanwhile, smaller cities like Seattle and SF spend in the realm of $1B/year to (mostly) not shelter the homeless.

But the article has harsher words for NYC than for the west. Something has gone very wrong when having the homeless in tents on the sidewalk is seen as the more virtuous and enlightened model.

I understand the argument for upzoning, and I'll be watching how it goes in Minneapolis. But I have little faith that it will do much to address visible homelessness. The chronically homeless are not generally the people who would be making rent if the cost went down by 30%.
By "continually losing creators to YouTube" you mean YouTube paid a few top streamers million dollar contracts? I don't see anyone prefer streaming on YouTube over Twitch unless you already have a big channel on yt.

Discovery is still better on Twitch. There's raids and hosts, and simply picking a catogery/game you like and see everyone who streams it. How do I find a Dota livestreamer on Youtube? There's not any intuitive way, if I search it I just get videos.

And then there's twitch prime, the supreme chatting experience of twitch etc.
For those saying "what took so long?", this is incredibly quick. It's still quicker than I thought it would be. But it is an open-and-shut case. As soon as you steal custodial assets (meaning customer assets that you'r eholding in trust), it's game over.

Additionally, the US claims jurisdiction on pretty much anything that touches the US financial system. It's how the US can exert pressure on, say, European banks (eg the Swiss settlements for withholding taxes for US citizens).

Given the scale of the fraud (ie $billions), I honestly expect him to spend the rest of his life in prison. It's that large and that egregious. Was it worth it?

I'm curious to find out if Caroline Ellison was (or will be) a cooperating witness in this case as some speculated when she was spotted in a Starbucks recently in Lower Manhattan close to the SDNY office.
The quote is "At this stage of development, a disk failure should cause mount failure so you're alerted to the problem." and it's from over 9 years ago on an ancient kernel. That was just 3+ years since btrfs project got started.

Let's treat it as archived historical content it is.
"LLNL - if they’re excited about this then it’s a big deal"

Just because they're excited doesn't mean it's a big deal, nor any guarantee that it works or ends up being practical.

I've heard 'exciting' news about fusion many, many times over my entire life and essentially all of them have come to nought. Or after the excitement settles down over said development we still find that fusion ends up being that magic number of 40 years into the future.

I've even worked in the nuclear game but I don't expect to see my home powered by fusion energy in my lifetime, unfortunately.
It's possible to have a leader who was technical at one point but no longer has any meaningful technical contribution. I worked for a company where the founder and CEO built the first several iterations of the flagship product essentially by himself. Now the company has more than 100 employees, and he did earnestly try to keep a pulse on technical matters in the R&D department (where I worked) and sometimes gave input but honestly it was usually better when he didn't. Too many things pulling his attention in different directions.

Even if he wanted to reduce the "reach" of said video, now that "the algorithm" has ahold of it ("trending"), good luck doin' anything "shady" about it now (without it gettin' noticed and ridiculed to high heaven). Totally too late. Elon's just gonna have to cope… ;)
Nice to see one of the wealthy set getting their comeuppance. Rare, but satisfying.
I actually hit this for the first time in all my years of using btrfs a few weeks ago.

Every month or so I spin up external drives to write out monthly backups of my NAS and personal computers. Forgot I'd taken on the home video collection and overfilled the array. Deleting some old subvolumes and having the space reclaimed took hours (on a 99.9% full 5 TB RAID-1 volume). Part of that is that I use compress=zstd:10 on the external drives, but I wasn't expecting it. Writes speeds tanked to tens of KB/s. Since these are those Seagate drives from Costco, probably also SMR drives...
FWIW, most of the presige media (NYTimes, WaPo, WSJ) have been running puff pieces which parrot SBF's claims of ignorance without much if any fact checking or investigation.
That's absolutely incredible. Thank you for sharing this! He was able to get 2500 miles of range by going from ~50 gallons to ~200 gallons. Talk about "hacker mentality"!
birds are dinosaurs. I’m not sure how much they evolved from their ancestors but I don’t think it’s much. If I were to guess Dinosaurs will live fine on the current earth.
Yes this is also an issue.

I played LoL for 10 seasons, watching last worlds there was plenty of champions and mechanics and changes that just made me unable to appreciate nuances and ultimately enjoy lots of stuff.

You can't have stable viewership for long with an ever evolving and changing game.
He supported Zelensky’s political campaign, that doesn’t make them friends. Zelensky also stripped him of his Ukrainian citizenship.
Why is it surprising that other people can see whose car is whose when that's the point of having a license plate on the back?
For what it's worth, since people make borrowing and lending decisions taking into account what they think inflation will be over the course of the loan, usually inflation predictions over the next however-many years are used to compute the effective real rate of interest, not the current rate of inflation.
> the more someone has deep understanding in tech, the more they are critical of it.

I think the criticism comes mostly from people with just a little knowledge, trying to sound and feel like they know more. Just a few talking points or principles enable you to criticize, but not seriously analyze (much less create).
> But how do you separate it

It's easy - most people can just decide that they're going to do the work they need to do even if they loath it. They won't be happy, but they'll do it. They may even actually be happy if they're compensated enough.

Other people cry into their pillow hating themselves because they can't manage to do simple things they have to do just because they aren't interesting enough, even though they try hard and may wreck their lives by not doing them.
For people with alexithymia, emotions are a mystery (2019)
hmm, hard disagree. Even if I had no obligations to society I would run myself into depression with my ADHD: it's damn hard to get constant new sources of dopamine.
Wouldn’t this imply a shrinking/inflating equivalence principle? Matter inside parent black hole in parent universe 1 is shrinking from perspective of universe 1, but space is expanding from perspective of inside parent black hole in child universe 2.
If you want something tied to Earth's rotation, UT1 is the way to go. If you don't care, TAI is good. UTC is in a weird compromise position, where it (traditionally) tried to be within 1s of UT1 but otherwise tick at the same rate as TAI. That compromise turned out not to be what anyone needs, so future uses will probably pick between UT1 and TAI/GPS/Unix/some other fixed offset from TAI.
Is that a thing? At least in this part of the EU, they never ever sound unless it’s a genuine emergency or the monthly test. I’m pretty sure the only reason they would go off is for a tsunami because they don’t even go off for tornados.
For all the struggles facing the democratic world, it's nice to know there is a stream of justice that prevails.

In certain other large counties, this man would either be protected or jailed depending on what party he aligns to. Sure, you can say the same for USA, but with far less immediacy. Over time things tend to sort themselves out.
No, it says the US is likely to request extradition - but has not yet. SBF was scheduled to appear remotely (Zoom or similar) before congress tomorrow.

It also says the US has filed criminal charges, which is the first I'm hearing of this.

As an aside - anyone else think it makes congress appear weak to still be allowing people to remotely testify? They supposedly are the most powerful and important legislative body in the land, perhaps the world - yet they can't compel people to show up in person and treat the event with the deference it's supposed to deserve?
You still pass through passport control.

There was talk that he was followed around everywhere in Bahamas by the police.

Like I said, there are ways to keep someone on an island without arresting them. Especially in this case, what was he going to do, sue?
The way I like to do it is with mirroring of the nvme storage and then lvm snapshots on top of it. Done correctly you get boot off either of them but they're kept in sync automagically by the OS. then you snapshot the boot volume regularly and copy those to some kind of archival storage for backups.

That lets you then even hotswap them if you need to while keeping the root filesystem workable.
I'm not going to get into specifics of this, mainly because they aren't my stories to tell, however I do allot of work with addicts to help them to recover.

You would be amazed the amount of people how do something similar to this. They get past the first week (typically the hardest part), and because they can see the light at the end of the tunnel they assume they are "cured". They then relapse to celebrate.

Usually it takes several attempts for someone to understand that the voice telling them that they are cured is still just the addiction. It takes even more attempts for someone to understand that you are never really "cured", because the fact is drugs are awesome, more awesome than life itself. That's why they're so dangerous because logically why would you'd choose life in that scenario (esp if your life is already pretty crap)

Quitting an addition is difficult - but staying clean in the long term makes the quitting part look easy
I don't think libs are going to just drop electric cars. They'll move to other brands.
Well, thought this would take months to years, but happy to be wrong.

Looking forward to the perp walk and orange jumper.
I can't speak for DotA, but isn't LoL's business model to continuously add new characters? This constant change never lets the true balance of the game be discovered the way it is with SC:BW. Players constantly need to adapt to new characters and modified game elements. It's not necessarily bad, but it's very different than leaving a game alone for a long time. For example, chess never got any patches, but new techniques and strategies developed for ages.
Arthur Hayes of Bitmex got bail (after he agreed to extradition) and had substantial ties to Singapore. But then again he wasn’t looking at 40 years.
The logic breaks down here:

>Because more housing decreases their own house prices and investment.

This is actually not true. Density will raise baseline prices. For example, your house gets bought for $1m and turned into 4plex of $500k condos.
Don't think people were mad about interviews, in fact there are many questions people expect him to answer. They were mad about puff pieces.
Time to put all these frauds in jail and wrap up the crypto saga. Good practical demonstration why regulation and traditional finance work the way they do.
Sure, you don't have to test drive a car.

Presumably most sellers would be happy to drive and have you sit shotgun without a license.
Yes but will they do it in a handful of hours?

Maybe he only knew C as you say. I did C++ professionally for a while. Not properly, just updating models in derivatives trading systems. I remember reading 3 Scott Meyer books, the Effective Programming series, at the time, they were a tour de force. Loved that guy. I've lost track of everything since 11 or whenever they introduced move semantics. One day I might go back to it.

Senators say Bankman-Fried is refusing subpoena to testify about FTX collapse
that's simply still not true. the last three plants built in Europe (England, France and Finland) has been very expensive because they've all been first of its kind and there hasn't really been built anything else. but if you take a look at what's happening elsewhere in the world KHNP for example has their standardized APR1400 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/APR-1400 reactor that seems to be very affordable

Poland just decided to build our nuclear to the tune of 40bn eur and their first contract is with westinghouse and their ap1000 reactor but also signed a letter of intent with KHNP to also built out further. I'm sure they cost Westinghouse for strategic reasons though and not because of price.

heck.. even Finland with their massively delayed and over budget Olkiluoto 3 also plans to built out even more nuclear. it's almost like some countries are now realizing that putting your faith in the weather gods for supply safety is not a good idea and that solar and wind are simply not viable for baseload or the grid in general.

i still think wind and solar has a place for creating synthetic fuels, but let's stop pretending it's been comparable to nuclear for the grid.

edit:

also.. are your saying IEA has wrong data? and if so, would you mind bringing since sources into your argument about people being way too optimistic
Roth was not debating or considering the ethics of sex with a student (falsely implying one of his students), he tweeted a link to a news article about a court case involving unusual circumstances.

Musk followed up the initial tweet (from a third party) by tweeting a page from Roth's dissertation, in which he wrote that services like Grindr (a gay dating app) should proactively develop online safety policies because it was very predictable that gay teens who use the internet might attempt to use the app. 'Underage people might use your adult dating app, so you should plan ahead for that' is not promoting the idea of underage people using the app any more than 'buy a fire extinguisher for your home' is advocating for arson.
Worth noting that the numbers you get at the end exactly match original claims from in The Bell Curve by Herrnstein & Murray.
