Had to give up their home for the bond?

edit: i.e., it is far more likely to be a 25M home than a 250M home, because I've never heard of a 250M home.
This is a fair illustration of some failure modes for that choice.

I took the other road: during my 20s and early 30s I spent a lot of time chasing meaning while minimizing expenses and the time I put into jobs and other explicitly career-focused choices (although tech-related stuff turned out to be one of my forms of play & exploration, and I did do the startup thing a time or two). Can't say I outright regret this because I do think I exercised a lot of important personal capacities and gained some insights, but at one point I did look around and realize my place in society was effectively "economically marginalized software developer" and that was a weird and probably not optimal tradeoff from both a practical or meaningful standpoint, especially considering I had still had a lot of open questions and anxieties about meaning.

So, this path has potential failure modes too.

At that point I made a pretty deliberate choice to more or less "sell out." Years later the upsides appear to have outweighed the down, and I find myself with the suspicion that meaning is found/made wherever you meet life thoughtfully and intentionally, and that if I'd chosen finance in my 20s (or more comp-rewarding tech roles) I'd have had opportunities that were different but not without their own affordances for meaning (and probably a higher net worth).

Still, I like my work and hobbies, and I never feel there's a shortage of interesting and engaging things to pay attention to in the world. I could continue like this for decades if I'm lucky enough to; my most substantial worries are staving off/prepping for whatever decline in health we all eventually face, and with it capacity to engage the world robustly. Perhaps I didn't do so badly after all.

The formats absolutely have the capability, but it's an another question if the encoder is capable of noticing the duplication.

(Modern video formats are not deterministic in that the same source always encodes to the same output for the same format. They are more like programming languages that they provide as set of tools you can use to compress various different kinds of redundancy out, but it's the job of the encoder to find that redundancy. For example, one of the tools typically available is to provide a source image to an off-screen buffer, and then when rendering the screen, occasionally provide offset/length pairs into that buffer instead of pixels. This could be used for efficiently encoding the duplicated noise.)

> The only solution to this problem are seasonal storage

No one will deploy seasonal storage, so the point is moot. NG backup works today, and will continue working into the indefinite future.

Chemical batteries are the most expensive of many storage alternatives, with advantages for very short-term use. Lithium is a poor choice for utility requirements, so its supply is irrelevant.

There is no place for nukes, which cost radically more than all other alternatives, most especially for only intermittent use.

Before this decision I think using the same cookie for both inessential and essential purposes was something that many people still thought was okay, as long as (as Microsoft claimed they were doing) when you do not have permission to use the cookie for inessential purposes you only use it for essential purposes.

But yes, this all ended up being irrelevant since the court decided that they were using it for non-essential purposes before getting permission.

I'm a PhD student at a top CS research University, and I'm leaving with a master's degree. I agree that the bar for admission into the program is way too high. I only got into two Universities despite having multiple publications as well as experience working in government research labs.

The majority of my fellow students are international, mostly from China. I know hardly any other Americans in my program. At this point I see the system as more or less a way for international students to gain citizenship. I'm all for immigration, but I think it has gotten to the point where American students don't even want to go to graduate school at their own Universities, and the system imports foreign students who they know they can abuse for cheap labor. If grad student salaries were higher I'm sure we would see more Americans joining.

I decided to leave due to abuse by my initial advisor. So many of my fellow students have experienced abuse or neglect by their advisors. By neglect I mean that advisors won't even talk to them because the advisor has tenure and doesn't care. Many CS doctorate holders I've talked to have expressed that their degree was not worth it.
Bail is a security - you only actually lose the asset securing bail if you abscond.
From reading it over the root cause was in a massively-multiprocess application. In general this is the usual problem of "on windows use threads not processes for ephemeral parallel tasks" right?
The Daily Mail has more info on this:

"His parents, Stanford Law professors Barbara and Alan Bankman-Fried, have agreed to put up the equity they own in their $4million California home, where he will live during his house arrest, as part of the bail requirement.

Two other people - one relative and one non-relative - will fulfil the rest of the bond. It remains unclear if he is required to pay the full $250million or a portion of it."
> You can't really prevent that. People do funny nonsense in other self-describing data formats like JSON and XML all the time too. There's only so much you can do with a framework.

Sure but you will get more of that if the convention is too simplistic. "one file per value" breaks really fast, just cat /proc/net/nf_conntrack or even just proc/<pid>/stats and see just how many values single entry (file/connection) has.

Doesn't need to be some ASN.1 monstrosity, could be simple conventions like "this is how key/value proc/sys file should look, this is how tabular file should look etc."

Make all escaping use same syntax, make every table separator be \t etc.

> But /proc is... extremely old, and very heavily used by userspace. In practice it's never going to change.

eh, just mount it in /proc2
My partner and I joke that nothing we buy remains unmodified for more than a day. It’s an exaggeration of the truth: that many many of our purchases require some customization before they’re really useful. We’re both the type to research heavily before a purchase, and we’ll gladly spend more for quality. Yet still the manufactured designs never quite meet our standards.

We survive comfortably by sharing practical skills in the household: sewing, woodworking, metalworking, electronics, CAD (for 3D printing replacement parts), painting, etc. Products straight from the factory are often substandard, but a good set of tools, library books and tutorials can close the gap to usability if you have the time.
How often are closed-form equations actually useful for real world problem domains? When i did my PhD in applied math, they mostly came up in abstracted toy problems. Then you get into the real world data or a need for realistic modeling and it's numerical methods everywhere.

It’s all about positioning one’s career where one has max leverage which lead to relative higher career earnings; hopefully converting some of this to cash producing assets.

It’s similar to other advice I have

I have a long break over the holiday and am thinking of putting a software project out.

Do you think I should consider making it a priority to code in a fairly low-level programming language (e.g. Rust) without overhead, and count cycles so that most tasks are done within a single screen refresh?

I can't make the rest of users' systems more responsive but I could make my own software as fast and efficient as possible.

The other alternatives are Python, which would make it easier to ship large features but would come with a large overhead (full interpreter) since it's an interpreted language.
The benefits don't sound all that good.

Not sure why, but there's something deeply depressing about this. Likely a combination of the VR graphics style and the bleakness of the inside of the store. But it gives me _backrooms_ vibes.
Frustratingly, if you personally post bail, typically you have to post the full amount (this might depend on the state).

But bail bonds companies typically only post 10% of the amount.
If you read the article, you'll see that it sacrifices most of its efficiency to get thin.
That sucks, I’m sorry you lost your writings. That sentiment is part of the reason I built the site myself. But that does make me think that when I build an exporting feature there needs to be a “download a backup” option.
This could not be further from the truth. Steve Jobs and Scott Forstall were the ones pushing for the realistic icons (not "skeuomorphism" btw, Scott is on record saying he hates the word "skeuomorphism"). It was a cabal within Apple, lead by Jony Ive, that was pushing for flat. When Steve Jobs died in 2011, and Tim Cook fired Scott Forstall in 2012, that cabal all of a sudden had way more leverage. And so, in 2013, iOS 7 was released with the flat design. It's as simple as that.
But that 10% is a non-recoverable fee, right? It seems insane they would have agreed to pay a third party $25M as a non-recoverable fee.

What I've learned about social skills is that recovering from your mistakes confidently, usually by being the first one to point them out, take a jab at them, or ignore them (unless they impact someone else then apologize and move on), is the #1 social skill.

By acting awkward about mistakes you make others FEEL awkward and that's what causes social rejection/teasing (not bullying that usually is different).
That's part of your training.

> I wonder whether it would make sense to separate the concepts of "simpler" and "interpretable."

Interesting. I was thinking the same, after coming across a preprint proposing a credit-assignment mechanism that seems to make it possible to build deep models in a way that enables interpretability: https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.11754 (please note: the results look interesting/significant to me, but I'm still making my way through the preprint and its accompanying code).

Consider that our brains are incredibly complex organs, yet they are really good at answering questions in a way that other brains find interpretable. Meanwhile, large language models (LLMs) keep getting better and better at explaining their answers with natural language in a way that our brains find interpretable. If you ask ChatGPT to explain its answers, it will generate explanations that a human being can interpret -- even if the explanations are wrong!

Could it be that "model simplicity" and "model interpretability" are actually orthogonal to each other?
I wish we, as a society, could decide whether M is thousand or million and then only use it to represent that one concept. From the headline I initially assumed his bail was only $250,000 and I don’t think I’m the only one in this thread to have made that mistake.

Nimbyism is caused by the vast majority of property ownere, not just rich people. If you own already rampant price increases are a positive feature not a cost (atleast in most property owners minds). Outsourcing was just the likely correct thing to do in that context. It raised more people from abject poverty than all the foreign aide we funded by a large margin. The context now is more complicated and muddy because, while the ussr seemed to prove outsourcing creates a middle class that can topple bad regimes, china proves those regimes can maintain control by not losing their resolve for bloodshed.

But bondsmen don't have to just cut you loose with zero oversight. For a small slice of the $25m they can hire a team to follow him around 24/7.

Well, thats a good point: they don't. Germany had to produce a lot of extra electricity to fill the gap left by too many French nuclear power plants not working.
