>So if your argument is that the model has been trained on a collection of information about what is hate speech assembled by liberals, then I can see it might be possible.

It doesn't specifically need to be "assembled by liberals" to have a liberal bias. Liberal people are more likely to categorize anything as hate speech than conservatives. Liberals think being PC is important. Conservatives are generally dismissive of being PC. Even if there is no inherent bias in the makeup of this hypothetical review panel, the panel will result in ruling that are more in line with liberal thought because conservatives are less likely to take an active lead in labeling hate speech.

>But if your argument is that (speculatively) republicans engage more in hate speech, then bad things said about republicans is not detected as hate speech by the model, the jump is rather far.

My argument is that these systems can't actually identify hate speech. The question isn't whether Republicans engage in hate speech more frequently. They likely engage in speech that resembles hate speech more frequently because they don't care about being PC.

Usage of the term Latinx is an example. I have heard valid arguments why people should are shouldn't use that term, however its usage is currently much more common in liberal circles. Therefore a phrase using "latinx" instead of "latino" is going to be less correlated with hate speech because racists just aren't using "latinx".

Just tuned a query like this today. Many chained CTEs, joined together at each stage to do range checking logic within subgroups. There were so many self joins that the row estimates (and requested memory grant) were through the roof.

I love CTEs, but the query semantics matter too.
I am not sure the interpretation given in this article is correct. Specifically, this claim:

> "Is Section 174 Needed to Deduct R&E Expenses?"

> "In a word, no. During the Supreme Court oral arguments regarding Section 174, the IRS commissioner said that any ongoing business with a history of R&E expenditures could use Section 162, regardless of whether the new activities were in the same trade or business."

This article seems to gloss over the fact that Section 174 was essentially crossed out and rewritten in the TCJA. You can compare the previous version with the new version here: https://law.justia.com/codes/us/2020/title-26/subtitle-a/cha... (Compare the "Section Text" which applies pre-2022, to the amended version under "Editorial Notes" which takes effect in 2022.)

Court rulings and IRS commissioner statements which referred to the previous version of Section 174 may no longer be relevant. The previous version stated:

> "A taxpayer may treat research or experimental expenditures which are paid or incurred by him during the taxable year in connection with his trade or business as expenses which are not chargeable to capital account. The expenditures so treated shall be allowed as a deduction.".

Okay, if it says a taxpayer "may", that does not mean the taxpayer "must", and it makes sense that the alternative Section 162 deduction was still available for the same expense.

The new version states:

> "In the case of a taxpayer's specified research or experimental expenditures for any taxable year— (1) except as provided in paragraph (2), no deduction shall be allowed for such expenditures"

Paragraph (2) then describes the allowed amortization process. Note that any language suggesting this treatment is optional was removed in the new version. This suggests to me that Section 174 is now intended to supercede Section 162 when applied to research or experimental expenditures and therefore the Section 162 deduction may no longer be available.
You don’t find anything interesting about one of the main people behind tether, one of the shadiest enigmas in crypto, having formerly been one of the main people within a company founded around real world trading & exploitation of virtual in game currencies? Where they literally tried to create slave farms to obtain these in game currencies?

Reeks of a lifelong grifter. If you can’t put the 2+2 together of a lifelong grifter & immoral individual being at the top of tether…

Anyways, I patiently await the collapse of it all as somebody who’s been around since the near beginning of blockchain cryptocurrency.
> While C and C++ are languages that are permissive to the point that bugs can be introduced incredibly easily I don't think they need to be replaced in order to eliminate said bugs

A ton of data about software bugs and vulnerabilities, as well as history, seems to disagree with you here.

I suppose in the most permissive use of the term "can", sure you "can" eliminate all those bugs in C/C++ code bases, but at what cost? Formal verification? A code review process that has requirements similar to those imposed on people working on spaceship and airliner avionics software? That's impractical for the vast majority of projects.

It just seems more sensible to use a language that eliminates certain classes of bugs entirely. Rust does that, at least for some classes of bugs. I'll grant you that maybe Rust isn't the correct answer here, but C (and even C++) IMO need to be relegated to the past.

I recently got re-involved in a C-based open source project that I used to work on ~15 years ago. In the intervening time, most of my work has been done using JVM languages, and, more recently, Rust. Going back to C has been tedious and error-prone. The language is awkward to use, and its type system is a joke. I would absolutely love to be able to work in Rust instead, or... really, anything else.

> Is it more efficient resource and time-wise to rewrite everything in [Language of choice], or to comb through the currently existing code manually and with special tools to find bugs and fix them?

Neither, and that's not what the article in question is proposing doing.

Not disputing that. It's just important to know the historical context and not give the wrong impression when saying "he was democratically elected". He was, in the sense that in representative democracy a vote for a party often in fact is a vote for a particular politician. But he was not in the sense of a direct, personal democratic election.

It's also important to be aware that Hitler, at the point he became chancellor, had already served a prison sentence for high treason for trying to abolish parliamentary republic in the Munich putsch. Those were highly unusual and tumultuous times, after all.

Judge thinks SBF's cut and paste message to potential witnesses seeking to "reconnect" is an attempt to "sing out of the same hymn book".

SBF's attorney is asking the Court to "eliminate the existing bail condition that defendant is prohibited from accessing or transferring any FTX or Alameda assets or cryptocurrency, including assets or cryptocurrency purchased with funds from FTX or Alameda."

Question for readers: Why should SBF be allowed to access and transfer these funds. Does SBF's lawyer want to get paid from the spoils of SBF's fraud.

I'd add to this that I've met people with high levels of achievement and competency, and they are inspiring in some ways, but I don't hold them up and herald them like this. They're just people, they have people problems, nobody is really exempt from that. They can be alcoholics, they can go bankrupt, they can go out of fashion and get old, they can break bones, their dogs can die, their cars can get broken into, their partners can leave them or they can be virgins who never figured out human interaction. If you're getting robbed in a sketchy part of town, you can't yell out "but.. but I'm an L9 engineer at Google" and somehow get out of it, unless the guy robbing you is a homeless junior trying to enter the industry and since you got in 20 years ago when there were only 2 rounds of interviews, one of which was to estimate how many windows there are in Seattle, maybe you can get them in.
Why a coin? Surely a paper document valued at a trillion dollars would do the same job and be cheaper to produce.

I know it's a bit tongue-in-cheek but I kinda wish they'd go with something more realistic that also explains our perspective, something like "when two organisms feel compelled to have sex". Even in humans it's a big stretch to say that deep love is a prerequisite and I think adds some harmful personification to the natural world

When my wife and I met she lived in an apartment with an amazing shower. The pressure was good but the temperature was fantastic. I had never had an apartment shower with water that got so hot. I barely even went half-way on the knob before I was turning it down. I asked about it and her response was "oh yeah I complained to my dad and he looked at the heater, there was something on it that he broke off." Turns out there was some piece of plastic or something put on by the landlord to limit the top temperature of the water, so he took it off.

It didn't keep the hot water from running out but when you had it, it was great.

That's not really painting an accurate picture. If Tether goes to 0 (you win the short) there's a strong possibility your counterparty cannot pay you. So, you're either wrong and lose it, or, you're correct and lose it. That's not the making of a good trade.
No it’s not.

The trend is clear, the world is warming, we know the mechanism, we know the cause and we can calculate at least some of the results and we know they’re bad.

People saying “oh but things are always changing, there used to be an ice age” and things like that, completely ignore the pace of change.

You don’t need to panic but please don’t bury your head in the sand.
Introversion and social anxiety are two different things. I securities about how people see you are third. The original person was introvert.

People talk every day with their spouses and kids. They talk everyday with their collegues or schoolmates. They talk every day with peer group in hobby or sport if they have involved one.

My point here is not that you have to do it or everyone have to do it. But the more you are with people who communicate, the easier it is to find topics. Because it is skill learned by observation and by practicing.
It is in fact, simple mapmaking. And fun. You have to project your own fears on to it to make it any more than that.

Sometimes, yes. In any interaction with police, there is a certain probability of the police killing someone. The killing may be justified (defense of self or community), or occasionally it might not be. But more criminals -> more interactions with police -> more opportunities for an interaction to become deadly.
>> There should be a simple rule: if you can't manage sewage and garbage, you can't handle fossil fuel technologies.

I know this is sarcastic but the UK is in the middle of an absolutely massive scandal with raw sewage being continuously discharged in rivers and the sea for many years now:

https://theriverstrust.org/key-issues/sewage-in-rivers

https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-62631320

Why is raw sewage pumped into the sea?

>> Pollution warnings for dozens of beaches in England and Wales were issued after water companies discharged untreated sewage and wastewater into the sea.

>> Raw sewage was pumped into rivers and seas about 375,000 times in 2021, the Environment Agency says.

>> In 2022, Ofwat, the water regulator for England and Wales, launched cases against six water companies over discharging sewage at times when this should not have happened.

And of course there's the little-known matter of anthropogenic climate changed caused by CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels. I know it's hard to believe, but it is starting to become a bit of a problem.
Oh, this one's easy. Trump's withdrawal is as much of a clusterf*ck as Biden's, it sours American appetites for more military adventure, scuttling a Ukraine campaign.

Another fun exercise is to ponder how much - if any - influence Trump's supposed ties with Russia have on these hypotheticals. There was some other issue, recently, whose details have since slipped my mind, that made me think, "Oh, this 100% makes sense if you assume that Trump is being told to do Thing by a party who is trying to weaken America's position ahead of a resumption/escalation of 2014's hostilities." I believe it was something that Democrats uncharacteristically reversed course on, which, again, would lend credence to the notion that this was something of a clandestine pitched battle from the start. I wouldn't rule it out. Not from a Secret Society Ruling The World standpoint, more like Leaders In A Desperate Position Pulling Out All The Stops.
While I post occasionally here, in terms of long term writing projects it is fascinating seeing how my own works have progressed over the decades.

I must have initially written about 10 incomplete (80,000 word+) books - only to get into the last 20% of it and get that moment of "nobody would really want to read this!" I think some of them have survived the deletion process.

Then it moved into smaller form, 1,000 word posts once a month on a blog I ran for about 3 years. Even that felt like a little too much.

The one I have been working on for the last few years, unpublished, I describe as a thousandth of a shadow of the Tao Te Ching. Little sayings and expressions that can be communicated in under 20 seconds. They aren't original ideas just ones that I think will be useful to others. So far I have 86 of them.

I guess it comes down to a saying in Buddhism, "a thousand words mean nothing compared to a single word that can bring peace." It also comes down to a case of, in distilling down to core concepts that aren't spelled out in detail, it allows the reader to flex their own mental muscles. It also reduces the attack surface area to some degree.

I know of a few folks now that believe that if you cannot impart the core aspects of something, particularly in terms of politics and philosophy, in less than a half dozen paragraphs - you need to keep working on it. Essentially, if you cannot communicate it clearly, is your thinking clear?

One of these sayings on my list is, 'Don't count the words - make the words count.'.
Investors revealing their characters in a down market

A tether collapse would instantly reduce the USD market cap of crypto by 80 billion, and that's without any investor behavior added on top.

On top of that, Coinbase needs a stable coin to operate at any non-trivial scale.

I'd say the impact would be severe. That is unless crypto investors just pretend nothing happened, and some other bullshit stable coin immediately takes care of the liquidity issue, which I'd call likely.
