So UBS picks up CSFB for ~$3 billion and then immediately manages to write off $17B in debt. Word has it the book value was near zero when it was bought. So didn't UBS just pocket $17B+ for $3B?

Sounds like a good deal if you can get it. Not for the AT1 bondhodlers of course.
No, that was probably what pushed them over the edge, but the lawsuit also claims that transforming a physical work to a new medium without consent is illegal.

I find it interesting, that both there and here, literally only a few people need to be removed one way or another, and the housing problem will get a lot better.

Here you go. It's not exactly the same as the one I got yesterday (they restored GPT4 access already but the chat history isn't restored yet), so I put the same prompt again.

The one I got yesterday had assorted bell peppers and turmeric added to the spices, and didn't have butternut squash/corn/black beans, but most of the rest looks about the same.

I've been considering the possibility of a "tragedy of the commons" in relation to child-rearing economics within countries with social security systems. It's unclear how many couples take into account the financial impact of having a child on their retirement plans. If they were to do so, the calculations would be rather discouraging. In fact, it could be economically beneficial for a couple to not have children while others continue to do so.

In the past, children served as a safety net for their parents in old age, as parents devoted much of their lives to raising them. However, in a world with a significantly inverted population pyramid, adult children may be responsible for supporting numerous elderly citizens through their taxes. This could potentially leave them unable to provide additional assistance to their own parents. On the other hand, those who chose not to have children could enjoy the benefits of compound interest accrued over 18+ years.

This situation creates a negative feedback loop. As the population declines more rapidly, the population pyramid becomes increasingly inverted, placing greater strain on younger generations to support the elderly. This further exacerbates the economic challenges of having children, as they will be required to work harder and longer hours to sustain the economy.
My answer to this is different to others, so I'm not sure how useful it will be, but here goes:

When I approach a new creative coding project, it is invariably because I want to learn how to use a specific technology that I have heard of.

So, for example, I wanted to build a "real time" stack using RabbitMQ and websockets with Tornado. I also wanted to build a front-end with Backbone. These were all kind of new and cool at the time. So what kind of app would use this tech? How about an app where you can submit a "currently playing" where you are, e.g. in a nightclub or at a concert, and have people within a certain radius get live updates as they are pushed? This was a really fun project and it also gave me an excuse to dive a bit more into PostGIS and nginx than I had in the past.

Years later, I wanted to have a go with some of the cool machine vision tools I had been hearing about. I also wanted to have a go at building a front-end with Web Components. So I built an app that would let you build a specification with a nice UI and send it to a worker that would create a video using six ML models working together. This was a really fun project and also gave me an excuse to have a go building a lightweight Python JSON API backend I would later reuse quite a few times.

In both cases, the driving force was a perceived need that had arisen from my day job. Specifically, I was aware that there was tech out there that was rumoured to be able to solve problems I had or thought I would soon have, and I wanted to get a handle on what the "unknown unknowns" and "gotchas" were involved.

This was also what got me working with VueJS for the first time, a technology that does extraordinarily well at what it says it does, better even than I expected. (I think I built a vanity site for my music work at the time?). Vue became my go-to at my day job for the purposes, so much so that I found myself instigating a rewrite of an existing AngularJS front-end soon before I left the company. I feel very confident their AngularJS code has all been burnt since then.

I'm a Web developer so I don't know if this approach translates to other fields of Software Engineering. Web is one of those things where new tools are cropping up and being hyped all the time, and staying abreast of developments in the tech is kind of part of the job.
A solid piece of steel/iron with an inner container of cesium. Hopefully they didn't try to disassemble it.

Cesium (from wikipedia)
"It is a soft, silvery-golden alkali metal with a melting point of 28.5 °C (83.3 °F), which makes it one of only five elemental metals that are liquid at or near room temperature."
I know several people who made the bad gamble not to take the vaccine and got actual measurable lung damage and had to be on oxygen. I also know people that caught it 3-4 times and had no symptoms past a week. Living in TX I'm surrounded by people at high risk for long covid, that's the bias in my anecdata, but I know zero people that have symptoms past a month that didn't have some sort of clearly evident lung damage. I believe long covid exists, but it's hard for me to believe it's anywhere near as common as news articles suggest.
Maybe this could be solved with opt-in (or opt-out via banning) federation similar to Mastodon. Instead of one network you could have a bunch of different networks each focused on the interests of a different community. Or maybe as someone with a node, you could "subscribe" to different communities that use different filtering and prioritization mechanisms for task assignments.

I do love the general direction, and I think it's inevitable that training will move to be more decentralized like this. It's also the best chance we have at disrupting the centralization of "Open"AI and their ilk. I say the earlier we figure this out, the better, but it's not an easy problem to solve cleanly. And, not to be that guy, but maybe we could add some cryptocurrency incentives to the mix... conveniently enough, the crypto miners already have the GPUs ready to go!
The parent comment amounted to ethnically cleansing the Korean population. It might not involve guns and it might take a 3-4 generations but that is what happens when immigration doors are opened at the behest of corporation lobbied governments with no consideration for the local population.
Here's the blog post giving a little more detail about the survey cited in the article:

https://clarifycapital.com/job-seekers-beware-of-ghost-jobs-...

The methodology here is still not clear - how did you source "managers involved in the hiring process", and how did you find 1045 of them over two days - but it provides some information that at least puts the article in a little bit more context. The "one third" of managers saying that they post fake jobs to trick employees was in response to a multi-select question where the next closest reason was literally "no reason in particular".
At my university the language used for teaching was predominantly Java, with Python or C# used in some papers.

There was an optional operating systems paper which had you writing some assembly to run on an in-house RISC system [1], but a small % of CS+SE students took that paper.

I think they’re trending towards using Python for most papers now. Not unreasonable for a paper on data mining or web development, but there’s definitely something being lost where students don’t /need/ to understand how the computer’s working in order to get a passing grade, so there’s no real incentive to dig deeper for the average student.

...and to reply to your second question, one thing I find interesting and want to explore further is how (and when) to best leverage what the LLM has memorized.

The way humans do math in our heads is an interesting analog: our brain (mind?) uses two types of rules that we have memorized:

1. algebraic rules for rewriting (part of) the math problem

2. atomic rules things like 2+2=4

So I'm wondering if we could write a "recursive" LLM prompt that achieves a similar thing.

Related to this, as part of another classic CMU AI research project on Cognitive Architectures, John R. Anderson's group explored how humans do math in their head as part of his ACT-R project: https://www.amazon.com/Soar-Cognitive-Architecture-MIT-Press...

The ACT-R group partnered up with cognitive scientists & neuroscientists and performed FMRIs on students while they were doing math problems.
I’ve been working primarily in .NET the last five years, and have been transitioning to Rust professionally the last few years.

For some reason, people act like being a C# or Java dev means that you’re an idiot. If you’re skilled enough to be writing quality high-performance code in those languages, learning Rust is not a huge barrier…
because tech was was the biggest beneficiary of monetary expansion, at least by percentage gains in a sector, and would have to be a close second in absolute dollar amounts if not first.

basically TINA principle: there is no alternative, which means that an infinite amount of money was created for a finite amount of assets, people that are paranoid about beating a couple months of high inflation didn’t know where to put the money

established industries with clear revenue trends already had stretched and unattractive valuations

real estate already went to unconscionable price levels

government bonds at record prices and lowest yields, in Europe people would accept negative interest rates literally willing to pay the government instead of investing in unproven businesses

but between the unproven entrepreneur there was still lots of big tech that was the recipient of cheap money and high valuations.

now people are rebalancing. new money isn't being created and existing money is purchasing treasuries at 5%
well obviously. You're not a billionaire. Billionaires have demonstrated that they are trustworthy and good, otherwise they wouldn't be billionaires. Duh.

:D

More seriously it remains astounding to me that it doesn't matter what executives do, they can always turn around and say "I may have been acting illegally, but I was doing that as the company, so the company should have consequences and I shouldn't".

If I'm in a gang, and taking part in criminal activities as part of being in that gang, I don't get to turn around and say "I was doing that as a gang representative, so I shouldn't go to jail, it's the gang that was breaking the law, and it should pay a fine". For example: googling "gang drug bust" reveals lots of arrests, and lots of people going to jail. But if those gangs incorporated themselves into LLCs they could kill thousands and just pay fines, as Purdue did.

>I honestly have no clue how someone without low level experience (eg. never did systems level programming) even approaches Rust.

Far easier than the way anyone without low level experience (which meant almost everybody starting out) approached learning C and C+, back when Java, C#, Python, Perl etc were not yet a thing, and you got either got directly into C/C++ or started with PASCAL and BASIC if you were lucky. Oh, and no IDES, internet, stack overflow, or forums either...

Where do you think cyclists are going 25 km/h while interacting with pedestrians? If it's on a shared pathway they should be going more slowly, if someone fails to do that that's as much their failure as if they hit someone with a car. And if they're on a road/cycle lane and they fail to respect a ped crossing, that's again the same.
I feel like it makes much more sense to just run it in the CPU instead. CPUs have access to far more memory so you could fit the entire model at its original size.

Instead of messing around with inefficient nonsense like this, figure out a way to prune and modify the models so that they run efficiently on a CPU.

It's certainly not milder.
You're wrong and you aren't supporting your argument.

Those votes were to reduce public policing, in favor of private policing. That is nothing new, and it is in no way a reduction of police. This was simply members of the ruling class voting to drop the facade altogether and abandon any remaining semblance of a police that serves the public. Again, nothing new. The ruling class does have to maintain its own legitimacy. That's all you're describing.

I think its dishonest to shift all blame on "people in power" when living in a democracy.

It seems pretty clear to me that specifically US policy would have been MUCH more climate focussed if people had voted like 60% Al-Gore in 2000 (who ran 100% on that platform). But that option was basically on the table, people went like "meh, might as well take generic republican junior instead" and then got distracted by counter-jihad for the decade after.

Now most of the damage is already done, and the same things that would've really helped in 2000 are much less useful now because they're late.

And its not like Europeans did much better in the meantime, but they at least have the excuse that their baseline emissions are about half US level already (per capita) and governance is more fractured (by design), too...
Yes, that’s exactly the issue. You trade that friction for not having the friction of type errors in queries at runtime. Whether that tradeoff is a good one depends on your situation and preferences.

(You can also check in the results of the database queries, so you only need the db in the build stack when you touch db-related code).

One thing that I'd suggest is no matter what you build, deploy it for real - don't stop after running it locally. Buy a cheap domain for all of your projects, and give each project a subdomain. Put a version of what you build into "production", so you can get a sense for what it takes to release software and update it.

Also, reflect on everything you build and think about what brought you joy. Specific trends ebb and fade, but understanding what you're passionate about will allow you to always apply yourself to learning new skills (while also having fun). Enjoy!
