Vitalik and Ethereum Foundation have siphoned hundreds of millions (billions?) out of the (pre-mined) Ethereum blockchain, which is probably an unregistered security if it weren't for high-roller lobbying agains the SEC, and to what end? Largely a platform for ICO/NFT/web3 failing Ponzi schemes.

If you know of real-world apps on top of Ethereum, that I could use right now on my phone, and is a real thing outside of "wallet thing", "mostly-broken web3 version of existing thing", "earn 30% interest with defi scam", let me know.
It's close but not fully deterministic. I remember seeing a theory that if the system is considering multiple possible completions that have the same rounded score percentage, then its choice between them is nondeterministic.
If this roadmap is accurate for the present, the types of qbits here are NISQ qubits, so not useful for any sort of generalized computation no matter how many they have.

Which is to say that Osprey has 433 qubits, so should be capable of 86 fault tolerant error corrected qubits, so they should be able to factor (not bothering with the math) AT LEAST ONE NUMBER using Shor's algorithm, and yet they cannot.

When you lack good developers stuff like this happens:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/sony-cyberpunk-2077-playsta...

Edit with more arguments:

You could of course blame managers for that, but delaying a game since your bad developers aren't capable of delivering isn't really an option either. How many years will it take those developers to get things right? What they would need is to delay the game and replace the developers with good developers, or scale back the complexity of the game to a level those developers can handle.

The company in question choose the latter, they said they will use unreal engine for future games instead of an inhouse engine. So they admitted their developers aren't good enough.
So why wouldn't you get a lease now?
I use Qi most of the time at my desks, cheap chargers from Anker and Ikea. Alignment by touch is second nature and easy with one hand (vs two to plug in a cable). It probably depends what your usage pattern is but I find it very convenient. I use a cable in my car because it's more reliable and less ambiguous whose phone should connect to the dash display.
Which game? This sounds awfully familiar.

"The letter application dated 1/3/2023, DI 29, to redact names and identifying information for certain bail sureties, was granted by the Court without prejudice to any application to release the names and addresses, unless otherwise ordered; any such application shall be made by motion filed no later than 1/12/2023."

https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/66631292/united-states-...

"Without prejudice" seems to assume the government might oppose the redactions at some point in the future. What are the chances of that.

There are four financially responsible parties (FRP) that agreed to sign off on SBF's release. Two are SBF's parents, one is another undisclosed family member and, as indicated by handrwitten note, the fourth is an undisclosed non-family member. The later two bail sureties must sign by January 5, 2023.^1

Thanks @dragonwriter for the correction. The two "secret" sureties are signing bonds for lesser amounts. I had assumed these two additonal sureties were required because the equity in SBF's parents home would be insufficent to secure a $250M bond. According to this motion, the amounts of these two other bonds have not yet been determined. They will be less than $250M, that's all we know.

I think it's disingenuous to imply that it's impossible to separate legality from morality or ethics.

Saying "women shouldn't be forced to have medical procedures performed against their consent" is not just arguing about whose opinion is better. You are missing the forest for the trees.
> Supposedly, there was a court ruling that held a bank liable for a customer’s losses due to lack of security precautions.

You already wrote as much in the article, but (AFAIK) the reality is even worse: there were court rulings that exonerated banks, as long as they followed the standard "security practices." Some hacker from China could access the bank's website from a suspicious IP, drain all the money from a poor guy's account, but the bank has zero obligation to do anything as long as it mandated that all users install half a dozen security plugins all the time.
Perhaps, but if we want to dis-incentivize usage as a political policy, we can just increase the usage charge above from "next to nothing". For power, generation costs in California run from $150/MWh to -$150/MWh:

$0.15/kWh seems like enough to begin the dis-incentivizing of usage, and that can certainly be pushed up more.
Per the README (and the source code), requests to GPT are cached. I know that doesn't solve the stability problem, since the cache is keyed on the exact prompt among other parameters, but it's something at least.

The source code shows that it's using pickling to store OpenAI responses on the local filesystem. See here:

Disclaimer. I am Korean and currently live in Korea. Online banking in Korea is very poor, so even though I code on Linux and macOS, I use Windows for internet banking.

As in many other countries, banking in Korea is a state-regulated industry. However, Korea's regulatory system rule downs to the smallest detail.

For example, in the Digital Signature Act(전자서명법), a content that allows only digital certificates in the form of files called authorized certificates(공인인증서) to be used for certification was added in 1999. (The contents were revised only in 2020.) As a result, most banking was accessible only using IE and Active-X. Now that Active-X cannot be used, various software is installed using separate installation files.

Korea's financial regulators are strict, but Korean politicians and media are paternalistic, so if there's a problem with finance, most of them try to side with financial consumers. For example, the issue of password leakage due to a keylogger installed on a user's PC is considered to be a bank problem, not a user problem. For this reason, banking websites require all kinds of security software, such as keylogger checking programs and firewalls. (This problem is gradually being mitigated.)

The problem with Korean security software is that the buyer of the security software (in this case, the bank) only requires that it meet the requirements of laws and regulatory authorities, so there is little room for improvement. Security software can be delivered only after CC certification (CC 인증) issued by the National Intelligence Service(국가정보원). By the way, the NIS is interested in which encryption algorithm is used (whether Korean algorithms such as SEED, ARIA, LEA, etc.), but it is not interested in whether Visual Studio Runtime is 2008 or 2019.

Also, financial institutions do not take cybersecurity issues seriously. For example, when I was in the security industry, a financial company asked for security software for ATMs running Windows XP SP2. Even at that time, Windows XP was EOL, and our security software was only supporting Windows XP SP3 or later. Significantly, the company suffered a cyber attack a few years ago that paralyzed its entire financial services for several days.

Most of the things I mentioned here refer to Korean-language materials, so giving references is somewhat limited.
the only word grounded there was the word "summary" . There are so many more which are not possible to be delivered in the same way
This is a fiction in your head. I’m not writing any manufacturer. I’m casually commenting on a forum that I’m pretty sure is not Python’s official complaint box. This is as ridiculous as yelling at someone at the bar who says “yeah, I don’t like to use Python that much”. The entire “thrust” of my “threat” to Python is that I’ll try to avoid it in the future. You’re blowing this way out of proportion. If I reacted this way whenever someone said something bad about JavaScript or Objective-C (which I promise you get way more “drive by” complaints), I don’t know what’d I do!
Equium claims that the heat pump system is completely silent, despite the use of a speaker to generate the acoustic wave. The level of noise is reportedly lower than 30 dB – the equivalent of a whisper.

I don't, and chances are you don't either.

Guess why.
Prison food is okay, depends where you go and how you handle yourself. Low security prison is just adult daycare, which is where a hacker will end up. Hacker knowledge is highly appreciated in prison.

I should mention that I don't intend to release or sell anything harmful. I just recently experienced this issue and I came out on the right side(?). I can see someone coming out the other side too, too easily. My intent rather is to stop working for free. I will notice it, note it, eliminate my personal exposure, and ignore it. I would say that puts me somewhere between white and black.

It's not easy (for me) to find employment. My last company was in automotive advertising(bankrupt) and I am aware of quite a few more problems than what you see in this disclosure. Though the listed brands are outside of my knowledge.

You just have to be aware of what your external boxes are collecting. Roku for example takes multiple 4k screenshots every second and uploads them to their servers to analyze so that they can see and track what you're watching and when.

I'd assume firetv, appletv, even the PS5 I use to watch streaming services on my TV is doing basically the same thing.
Are the children shying away from it because whatever business it is just isn't something they like (i.e. vegans not wanting to take over a butcher's shop), are they finding better offers outside of the family business (i.e. the businesses aren't making money), do they just not need to work because the business have made the family wealth (which is what I see a lot in Germany), or is it something else entirely?
I got a kindle scribe for my birthday a couple months ago, and have found its much more friendly to read code with than kindles have traditionally been. So I'm reading a lot more technical literature there, usually in the form of a PDF which allows me to annotate directly on the page.

I wouldn't do code reviews a la Github because the web browser is utter shit (sorry, if anyone reading this has worked on it—i love the rest of the product!) and obviously there's no app for it.

It is also caching requests on-disk. See for instance https://github.com/ianb/infinite-ai-array/blob/main/iaia/gpt...

The problem* is that if a prompt changes slightly then it won't be a cache hit.

Same feeling here, almost as you are describing my life.

My five cents here is that you should try to make the most of social ties with people around you. Talk about things you've never thought about before. Ask questions. Learn things that aren't computer programs. Skip books on engineering.

That helped me a lot in 2022 and even increase my happiness on my daily work
> … "given that we've had 15 YEARS of warning that this was coming" …

This right here is the part that I'm still having troubles wrapping my brain around. People still stressing about Python 2 "going away" (it's gone folks; accept it) despite the fact that there's been well beyond a decade of advance warning, and Python 2 having been officially EOL ages ago now.
As far as I know macOS (like Linux) renders always in 100% increments and then scales it down. So if you’re running a 4K in 125% it needs to render everything in 8K and scale it down. Which can require a lot of GPU power.

There are way less scaling issues because of that though. Windows only does scaling well since Windows 11, before it was a mess, and before windows 10 it was practically unusable.
So I think it’s a little more complex. Let’s look at one of AZ16’s blockchains projects.

Ava Labs is the company, Avalanche is the blockchain, Avax is the token.

https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/ava-labs/

They launched a series A in 2019. The Series A was $6million and was joined by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Initialized Capital and Polychain Capital, in addition to angel investments from Balaji Srinivasan and Naval Ravikant.

Two private token sale in June and July 2020 for $12m and $42m. Are the VC’s and insiders getting a cut?

Then finally a public ICO in sept 2020 to raise $240 million.

They also had a funding round of $350million in April 22.

Ample time for early VC’s to make money. It’s valuation is $5billion. That’s the same as Coinbase which is a legit org with billions in revenue.

AES-128 is effectively AES-64 when quantum computers exist which can run Grover's algorithm. That's not a huge exponent.
How is it avoidable? It's a necessary part of using an ORM. Moreover, you're severely understating the complexity of dealing with how to load data through an ORM and how to control the underlying queries.

SQL is already a perfectly adequate language for describing how to query relational data, by putting a effectively a graph query language in front of it and adding a translation layer you immediately need an immense amount of special casing, the common cases might be handled by a sufficiently sophisticated ORM but once you veer even slightly outside the realm of a basic hello world application which accesses a database you are immediately hit with a wave of all the complexity which results from the abstraction leaking. Every time I've personally dealt with an ORM or seen code which deals with an ORM, the amount of unnecessary hassle which is required just to get the ORM to do what you want it to do certainly outweighs any imagined benefit of using it. If you think SQL is hard to write then you're putting the blinders on to claim that ORMs are easier to deal with.

If you have never hit upon these sorts of issues then you must have never actually needed to do anything non-trivial and performant with an ORM.
I guess Greek "contagion" closer matches what English refers to with "virus" and it's repurposed meaning?
ChatGPT's factual reliability and self-consistency is certainly an interesting subject for a blog post, but submitting individual outputs as HN posts is Not Great.

Ask HN: Hiring trend – companies “freezing hiring” post interview
Recently I've been interviewing with companies, and I've noticed that after the entire interview process is completed, they return saying they are putting hiring on hold temporarily and will pick it up next quarter. I observed this with 2 companies, hardly a trend, could've just been my bad luck. But just wanted to check if anyone else is also facing something similar while looking out for a job?

Are companies interviewing candidates for a potential role and keeping them on standby as a means to hire them at a later point quickly?

God, there's nothing worse than going back to find something I remember talking about in Slack and seeing the damn "call ended at..." thing right where I'm pretty sure it should be. Now let me go see if I took notes in some other program. OK even if I did I missed some stuff that would have been there if we'd just used the goddamn chat instead of having a call. Ugh.
I've only tried sublime text briefly to be honest. I like its speed, but I need something that can open huge Visual Studio projects. I also wasn't sure about the C++ parsing which requires installing packages.

Just to be clear, 10x supports syntax highlighting for many languages, it's only the parser that is C++ specific.
Each segment register implicitly selects its own address space. Thus you have 1MB of CS, 1MB of DS, 1MB of ES, and 1MB of SS.

Try re-creating a relational database in a graph database or vice versa by applying this approach and report back. I promise you that if you put a graph in a SQL database or vice versa you will end up with absolutely abysmal performance unless you explicitly go out of your way to special case everything into being performant.
A few data points as the picture is murky and mixed:

The wider "grid" is managed by CAISO - the independent system operator.

LA's utility is municipally run, in contrast to the big 3 IOUs in the state - PGE, SDGE, SCE.

SDGE had a 50 year exclusive franchise agreement with the city of San Diego that recently renewed under slightly different terms. Notably, and I'm paraphrasing: the city has the option after 10 years to terminate under certain conditions. [1]

Enron lobbied for, contributed to, and profited off of utility deregulation over 20 years ago. [2]

I've been using their 42 inch monitor for a couple of years now. Before that, I worked on a curved 50 inch Samsung TV but it was a bit too large. 42 inches is a sweet spot for me.

2-monitor setups suck. If I had to go multi, I'd always go with an odd number of monitors (so, 3 or 5) to avoid assymetry. With 2 monitors, your secondary monitor is going to be placed either to the left or to the right of your primary, thus creating assymetrical workload on your neck muscles, affecting your health long term.

The only exception from this rule is a layout where your primary screen sits in front of you, and your secondary is placed beside it but rotated 90 degrees (to vertical position) and used mostly for placing various toolbars to declutter the main one. I tried this setup once and it worked ok ish for me. It looks weird but is quite practical once you get used to it.
It's likely because GPU calculations are non-deterministic and small differences in floating point numbers could lead to different outcomes (either in the way you described or somewhere deeper in the model)
Just do what I do, focus on easy problems! Doesn't take that long but you feel great anyway.
Okay, I use my screen at arms length, and I can’t read the text if it is set to 100%. I’m in my 30s and the eyesight is good, but it seems to be already a bit less than in my early 20s, maybe that’s the issue.
a lot of global companies rely on only US/EU servers to provide web services. leaves a lot of Asian countries to reach to the closest server to grab the data. in case of Twitter, that's usually US servers hence at least 300ms latency per request
Probably not. A similar acoustic heat pump company (https://www.blueheartenergy.com/ourtechnology) claims 30 db, so this is probably going to be in the ball park.
Conversely, these models open up philosophical questions of "exactly what a human is" beyond language abilities. How much of what we think, do, and perceive comes from the use of language?
This is an incredible example of organizing information well and making a case to a wide audience. It's difficult enough to shave all the yaks necessary to get a high-level view of all issues related to a problem, and to express all those problems in good writing is an additional tough challenge. These folks have done an amazing job at both.

Here in Germany I heard this a lot too as our economy is highly reliant on small family business and there's a lot of succession questions coming up as a huge chunk of the workforce ages into retirement.

Despite lots of political kerfuffle a few years ago immigration has been a huge boon. I can't tell you how often I've personally heard how people were ready to close down long existing family businesses because they had nobody to take over until they got immigrants into vocational programs who now look like they may continue the business in the future.

It's not just numbers either. A lot of domestic younger people were so set on going to uni and going to work for large firms that they just didn't want to take over their parents agricultural, trades or crafts business. In particular talking to Syrians this always stood out to me. A lot of them just seemed thankful for the stability and security that comes from our Mittelstand that we tend to take for granted.
