You can have a lawyer or law firm on retainer. It's not practical for average people but Alec Baldwin I would think he does or at least one the studio uses because it's a work place accident.

The other thing is he wasn't under arrest or detained when he talked to the police. He volunteered, which is mind blowing arrogance on his part. Sometimes it's beneficial to talk to the police in situations like this but when you're called in for questioning always bring an attorney to advise you and listen to their advice.

Police will tell you time after time people love to tell their stories because they are either the victim or the hero in their own mind. When the police call you in for additional questions they already have a narrative and are simply trying to get you to admit to their narrative that they've built up.
1) no i didn't, 2) I made one comment, there's nothing constant about it, 3) they're not smears.

I don't like the leadership in the west either, but I don't use them as examples in this case because they're not the obvious examples. The US doesn't have capital flight restrictions the way China does. When we are talking about drone striking civilians I'll be sure to bring up Obama instead of Xi. You really need to not take this stuff so personal.
Almost everyone is fireable. People who make it through large layoffs like to tell themselves it's because of the value they produce, but in my experience having been close to the decision making process on some of these it has a lot more to do with luck of the draw than anyone would care to admit.
Sam Bankman-Fried is something else. He seems to be incapable of stopping talking, both before and after this saga. He also seems just purely delusional. He's co-conspirators have readily plead guilty. He has a tough hill to climb.

Regarding Sam Trabucco, why do we not hear anything about him in these proceedings? How is it possible that he wasn't involved given he just up and left in just August 2022? Why hasn't he been charged? This seems very strange to me.

You can always go with a VPX system if you want something like that, but obviously that's not cheap at all.
This was great, and about a lot more than devrel. I enjoyed his comments about messaging and how you should stick with a message for at least 6 months, preferably more.
I don't understand why anybody would be against having political commissars at their place of work. Did we not learn from Soviet Russia that those work great?
He is top athlete that controls what goes into his body and decided that potential that his heart loses even few percent of it's performance is not worth it.
I think he had twice Covid and barely had symptoms, so for him doesn't make sense.
He voiced that and got crucified over it.
Would say in all seriousness while nodding at your comment that America was founded on exploitation, not just of natives and Africans but of future waves of immigrants as well, etc, and of the idea of the supremacy of the owner class (within which there was some relative, legally enshrined equality). The history of America is literally one of enabling experimentation and innovation in exploitation, of the framing that there are suckers and subordinates born every minute. This is the case in every single business domain, and is as or more true today as it ever has been. The true equality in America is that anyone and everyone can be cheated and dominated (of course some more easily/painfully than others). This unbroken lineage of inherent danger leads to the rise of (in some cases famous/legendary/mythologized) collectives and movements that attempt to enshrine rights and protections. One does not exist without the other.
Depending on what sort of commercial arrangements participants were happy with, the obvious fundraising options are selling value added services or derived data on top or classic FOSS 'sponsorship' with corporate partners (hard to get for a new project in this space). That doesn't guarantee sustainability of course, particularly with there being a lot of competition in this sector with good coverage already.

(FWIW I'm happy to chat: have sold non-ADSB aviation data and consulting before and been involved with buying ADSB and AIS from a commercial provider)

Hey OP, there are bookmarketlets that you can save as bookmarks in your mobile phone browser to increase or decrease zoom size on any webpage or website. I don’t use them because I’m not at the age of using glasses or reading glasses for anything but they may be useful to you.
I've always taken a lot of the D&I stuff as a rainbow capitalism and liability thing.

The problem with a lot of the DIE stuff that I've seen is that it is usually targeted at the ICs and first level managers, just like the ethics training, and the sexual harassment training.

Whereas that stuff is very rarely perpetrated by the rank and final, it's usually the execs that need the training. Why is DIE any different, after all if it was really important to the execs there would be easy ways to make it happen, shoving everyone in trainings seems like performative work.

For a sense of scale; a somewhat representative figure for a lifetime median income of a worker in the US is ~2.5m [1][2] this guy is earning ~50 times that in a couple of years.

To give these figures a bit of shape. This is like getting a smarties cake[3] and giving Surojit Chatterjee pretty much the entire cake for just a couple years work. Whereas the median worker gets, for working a lifetime of effort (~45 years) about a quarter of a single smartie.

I'm not saying that everyone should earn the same but rather I would question this gap which continues to grow. This sort of payout is not aspirational IMHO but rather a symbol of a deeply dysfunctional society.

Making something optional on an application is a waste of everyone's time.

If it is optional, and it doesn't have bearing on the application process, then don't ask me to include it.

If it is optional, but it does have bearing on the application process, then I assume that I'm not a good fit for you.

If it is optional, and it officially doesn't have bearing, your screeners and interviewers may still have an internal bias that favors applications which "go the extra step" to do the optional work. Even if they don't, I'm going to assume that they do and that we're all wasting everyone's time in asking me to apply.
honestly Coinbase being such a laggard might have been the reason they survived.

Imagine if they'd followed FTX and doubled down on perps and options.
The law punishes overt instances of discrimination.

I can hire all of x gender, x race, x religion, etc. for my 1000 employee work force. You won't legally be able to nail any kind of discrimination on me so long as I take care as to not leave evidence of it.

In this instance, did discrimination occur? Did the law do its job adequately?
Or just throw them away
If I think about this ignoring my feelings/friends it doesn’t seem to bad.

Money has been basically free to borrow for an extended period of time. Expansion was a lower cost than any point in my lifetime.

COVID drove demand, and expansion looked necessary. Sure maybe everyone should have been more conservative, but ignoring the human element it cost nothing to get money and you were fulfilling a business need. Why would you not expand to meet the demand?

Demand has dropped, money is getting more expensive to borrow by the day, and projections for the economy look horrid. Worse than TV tells people for sure.

The shitty part of all of this, is really these companies reinforcing they don’t care about humans, and we all see their profit numbers. They had the means to do this better.

I’ve heard very few stories where the separations were handled with the tact and care we deserve. The employers that did this correctly deserve some credit, but it’s few and far between.

So yes, overstuffed; but by their own decisions. Good leaders would have owned that, valued their staff, and handled the transition better. We are just a number to most.
It did, but people went straight to abusing them, so they were removed.
Will have to dig into this. Seems pretty, would be nice to pick apart the API, looks like Python with PyQt is what most utilities are written in. The crux with not being mac/windows is driver performance. It's a bummer it takes such a massive effort to support hardware.
OS X "Aqua" theme, 20 years on, looks dated to me in a way that the 40-year-old Susan Kare-era design of the original Mac OS does not. I can't put my finger on why, but I think it has something to do with "arbitrariness".
Fantasy:

Patrick Rothfuss - Kingkiller Chronicles

Caution: Be aware that the last book of the Kingkiller Chronicles "the doors of stone" is not out yet and may never happen[1], so although it is one of the greatest fantasy books of all time (in my opinion), it's kind of unsatisfying after part 2 :-)

DEI departments and projects have a fervor to them that is near religious: the core tenets are faith based and impossible to challenge scientifically. Challenge any DEI tenet and your are immediately met with threats of excommunication. Get in line or you're out.

The thing is DEI efforts oftentimes mask comical understanding of history and blindingly gross racism.

Personal anecdote: How do you deal with people who proudly wear "Antiracist" t-shirts, but will quickly tell you Asians are opportunity hoarders who must hate their kids because they focus too much on academics. Or how do you explain indentured servitude, wars and famine have been commonplace all through history.
This is an unfamiliar subject area for me. Thank you!

It's initially the parent who'll pick the book though (or the critic? the people who decide what to put in the front window of the bookstore? probably not the four year old though), so the uncanniness could come into play.
> More specifically, the branch predictor probably keeps an internal stack of function return addresses, which is pushed to whenever a bl is executed. When the branch predictor sees a ret coming down the pipeline, it assumes that you're returning to the address associated with the most recent bl (and begins prefetching / speculative execution / whatever), then pops that top address from its internal stack.

There's no need for "probably" here. The micro-architectural mechanism is known as a return stack buffer[1] and is generally separate from the branch predictor unit, though the processor may make use of indirect branch prediction entries for returns as well.

[1] It is, indeed, a tiny little stack of return addresses and indeed, the article hit performance issues by misaligning it. The (Intel chips') RSB is behind the Retbleed vulnerabilities.
The single player holds up, especially on max difficulty. It's like an arcade puzzle game. And the shooting mechanics (body/headshots + an explicit "aim mode") are really fun and feel great.
Well I for one will stop feeding them.
Yes, similar to that.

So you'd put up a proxy to handle auth, and match an incoming request either to a running database or to a cold database. If it's for a running database, it'd replicate to S3 or similar. If it's for a cold database, you sync from S3 or similar and start the server side process.

To your point, you absolutely need to be able to reliably grant a lease of some sort to whichever frontend pulls down the database and starts and endpoint, or you're absolutely right you'll have huge problems.

Absolutely won't be suitable for every kind of workload, but if you've already committed to running your stuff in a serverless setup, having your database(s) handled that way might be appealing.
You're right; it isn't about saving a meg of ram.

To Google Fuschia is about having a better (to them) alternative than Linux. GPL is a pain in the ass when working with hardware vendors and getting driver code produced. Fuschia is about having an alternative they control where the user will never get copyleft access to driver sources.

It encourages me to think that I may still yet have an inflection point.
I actually did not know that was a thing, and I’ve been working in startups for over a decade now. I’ve never worked in big tech though, so maybe it’s common there. If a company told me I couldn’t work on side projects without approval, I’d tell them to fuck off.
Of course they both have risk categorically, but they differ greatly in magnitude and scheduling.

With Contracting you know that there is say a 50% chance the contract will expire on a given date and can plan accordingly. As a direct employee there is say a one percent chance you'll be laid off and it could come at random times.
It's also illegal to steal from the company, yet companies still have internal security departments.

Sexual harassment is illegal, yet companies still do sexual harassment training and HR in theory can help protect employees from sexual harassment and take action on harassers (if only to protect the company).

What a ridiculous statement. It is of course the responsibility of people inside company to ensure that it doesn't perpetuate illegal discriminatory activities.
SBF also wrote a later post about FTX US's balance sheet: https://sambf.substack.com/p/ftx-us-balance-update-2023-01-1...

Interesting but odd. Seems like this would be right in the wheelhouse of the expensive word processor.

Interesting. It's likely the point of constraining the graduate course to grad students had nothing to do with their maturity. But you see what you think is a sign of immaturity, and turn the constraint into a maturity filter.

I'm quite grown, and I wonder about the ownership/control of the cluster and why he didn't simply lock the professor out entirely, contingent on the approval of his waiver.

If anything, doing something as small as lowering the priority of his jobs instead of brazenly stonewalling him might be the sign of immaturity.

Cook asked for, and was granted, that pay cut in response to 60% of shareholders not being happy with his level of compensation. Good on him for doing so, but $49m is still a lot.
Never heard anyone describe The Father as those things, maybe Christ. Ive heard God being all good but that is because of per definition of good.
The discord was originally the ADSBExchange discord, but, I believe a mod has taken control, banned the person who owned/sold ADSBExchange (Dan Streufert) and made a bunch of announcements. The mod used to have Outlook email access on the original domain, so it seems like there's kind of a shakeup going on as well

It's kind of chaos currently. I only joined this Discord in December and it was very different then. It seemed to be pretty community oriented, with images for RaspPi and scripts to help setup feeding and the developers of these tools were in there chatting. Not company employed people to my knowledge.
Thanks, Yes, I'm 30y old and will keep making software.
Fair, but the issue was being paid $90,000,000 a year to leave the company because too many women accused him of sexual assault....

THIS. This is exactly the power of these models. The AI generated an entire story in some extremely quick amount of time and an experience Human can edit and curate the results. It generates first drafts trivially.
man, I should have done that MBA...

Edit: To be fair, the top guy is also the company's founder. Props to him.
I think you're just looking at it wrong. None of those people is diverse because no individuals are diverse; a person is only themself. A group of people can be varyingly diverse, and observations about the before/after diversity of a group of employees is a different thing from making decisions based on someone's individual group membership.

I think this upside-down view of diversity being located in individuals is really common though, which is one of the problems with tech DEI initiatives. But you get much more use out of it the other way around.
I think we just found where the root of the disconnect between a certain "victimized" demographic and how D&I works stems from:

As the reply above said, D&I isn't about "Don't fire minorities", it's about "If you fire 10% of your workforce, but they end up being 30% of the minorities in your workforce, question why there's a disconnect"

The idea being is the 10% actually where 10% of cuts need to happen, or is the 10% including some business unit that didn't have the right people hitting up the after work pub crawl with the founder, so no one one felt personally connected enough to have them stick.

-

And I feel like the kneejerk is to assume "oh well you're just assuming founders are discriminatory"... it really doesn't have to be a discriminatory thing, it's simple human nature.

It's hard to trust someone who thinks that they won't subconsciously lean away from firing people that they've spent more time with and happen to like. They should accept that camaraderie outside of the bounds of business can subtly affect affect business sense even if you are a fair person before you can consciously override that tendency.

Similarly even though they're not sexist, they're not a T-1000 and are subject to things like same-gender preferences that have been replicated time and time again: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2020.0186...

A large part of D&I is supposed to get people to embrace uncomfortable hidden biases without jumping to the least charitable cause: You don't have to be racist to get along better with people who are from your culture when that often means sharing interests, understanding each other better, etc. You don't have to be evil for that to end up affecting your decision making subconsciously.
This seems off topic?

This kind of wording reminds me of a very old (probably outdated) argument about theft of digital goods. In meatspace when you steal something you are depriving someone of a thing. If I steal your biscuit, you don't have the biscuit. But if I copy a picture of the biscuit you are still left with your own picture, perfect and identical in every way. If I'm not reselling that image to everyone, you lost on that one sale. I wonder if openAI goes and pays retail price for each image they used, would this discussion finally end?

Yes, in other words... a pipeline problem.

When you have bars set in fields where outcomes are tangible (STEM), you cannot improve the situation by lowering the bar, you must improve the situation by improving the populace so more can get over the bar. This is a lot harder to do, and not possible to do in a way that juices the numbers, so very few people and institutions bother to do it.

Same here. Ordering is a hack, usually with some silicon valley schmuck trying to insert themselves between me and the business, the prices are outlandish, and the service and quality is usually abysmal (the Mexican restaurants here in Ohio are great..probably due to the workers all being from the same culture).

Every time I go out to eat now I have buyers remorse. Except the Mexican restaurants...they feel pre-pandemic still.

I recently ate at a Brix. Before the pandemic it was solid, great quality and reasonable prices (wood fired everything, craft beers). If I didn't feel so bad for the old decrepit workers I would have cussed them all and ran out. Cost a fortune. Never going back.
