> If I had to guess, the SEC is actually saying "you are offering many products, and _way too many of them_ are securities. We will not list them all because it would be way too much work. We will not list one because we don't want you to overfit on the example. We want you to actually do the analysis across all of your products".

But to issue a Wells notice shouldn’t they have already performed this research? Seems like both parties benefit by saying something like:

If you think that "hundreds of millions of dollars" is actually supporting the assertion that the US is the most corrupt country in the world... well, clearly, some perspective is needed. My home country, morocco, which is comparatively way poorer than the US, has a corruption industry that probably goes into the low billions of dollars a year. And that's assuming superpacs are actually a form of corruption, which is very, very debatable. Even EU farming subsidies probably qualify for the term more than superpacs.

Deep Learning for Camera Calibration and Beyond, a Survey
I have had some fun playing with TorToiSe TTS, which is mixed when it comes to being better than ElevenLabs. In small snippets it does sound better, but overall it does not. I mention it because it's openly available and runs locally. I didn't spend more than a weekend on it, and it's popular enough to have a small community collection of voices. You have to search for them, but they're small in size and it's zero shot generation. It's very similar to how stable diffusion felt when it first came out, a lot of trail and error and no consensus of the "right" answers.

The main reason why I liked it, even though the bad generations are really bad, is because you have full control of the training data set. I haven't kept up with it in a few weeks so I am sure there have been advances I'm not aware of.

Because it is a text predictor, with the choices being made by a PRNG, which is not the same thing as an author, who starts with something to say and chooses the words to fit.

The LLM is like the author with the "something to say" replaced by PRNG output. The plausibility of the output is attributable to the power of the predictive component.

It's fine and quite legitimate to have a prior, as your example of a perpetual motion machine illustrates. Along with the prior it's also important to understand how typical cognitive biases can affect those priors. For example, you cite the "mere experience of other such announcements being repeatedly proven wrong" and "the probability of the team just being lax with their annoucement to get publicity and grants." These might be examples of availability bias. Clearly these things happen. The question is whether they actually happen with a frequency that would justify the statement:

> Finally, I know that "we found RNA building blocks and B3" on a meteorite is less likely that contamination, so the story seems fishy and premature.

Regardless of each of our own priors and biases, respectfully, you don't know this. You don't have evidence that shifts the probability in this direction. Or rather, you haven't presented any. You haven't pointed out a specific flaw in the experimental design, instrument design and operation, data collection and analysis. What you have done is state your strong prior suspicion that something is wrong. That's not knowledge, and it's nothing that anyone else could base their assessment upon. The statement is simply a statement of your prior, nothing else. It's not a material statement about the actual paper, its data, analysis, or its conclusion.

Doing whatever you want isn't enough. If on a team of 10 people 9 are remote, the 10th person who goes to the office is remote too, they're just doing it from a different location. And vice versa, many people who like remote wouldn't like to be the only remote person while the other 9 people are in office (because they'll miss out on so much of the communication).

So while I want you to have whatever working arrangement works for you, either arangement only work if most of your colleagues have the same preference as you.
the SEC’s logic is that if you decided that a wine bottle or baseball card you bought was to be sold at a profit in the future, then the winery and card issuer should have registered them as securities, and the seller should have been a registered broker dealer. and the boss should have provided a whole list of disclaimer to mitigate regulatory liability.

otherwise, the winery or baseball card issuer is engaged in fraud, and the seller is too, and the boss who recommended them is as well

this is what people find to be… at best
… incomplete logic. there is a Howey test interpretation that would allow for this expansion, and crypto folks would gain power by having it applied congruently to those physical established artificial scarcity collections too, because Congress would reevaluate this inconvenience more holistically. There is another interpretation where the SEC makes no sense at all, and has to provide a clear exemption framework for crypto assets to navigate in order to be treated the same as wine bottles and baseball cards, ignoring the current parasocial relationship and reliance that crypto traders have with crypto project creators.

Many of the static binaries I use rely on dependencies other than libc. Most are small programs. Out of personal preference, I generally try to avoid large programs with numerous dependencies. Exception might be something like ffmpeg. Static binary for the author is 21M but package from repository is 84M so the static binary uses less space. ffmpeg has many dependencies besides libc.

I've wondered if there will be emerging business models for medium-sized, amenities-included (AP wiring, coffee, snack service, etc..), short-lease office spaces. Basically for when a company wants to downsize, but also wants to retain a little bit of physical space for meetings, events, and folks that live nearby. Nobody wants to sign a three year lease for their whole company, nor do they want a "we work" space where you'll be surrounded by random people. I think companies will want to hedge on short term accommodations. I don't have the real estate knowledge to know if this is even possible.
> > they make things that are near each other in their domain (inputs) map to things that are far apart in their codomain (outputs).

This is describing a specific subset of hash only. *Cryptographic* hash functions map inputs to outputs with high and uniform dispersion.

So you are talking about cryptographic hashes, but different hash functions can have different properties.

ThumbHash is absolutely a hash function, which is "any function that can be used to map data of arbitrary size to fixed-size values, though there are some hash functions that support variable length output." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function)

The first study is call center employees which is really not relevant to most tech jobs for obvious reasons.

Bash may need a high level of authority as it's spawning processes and wiring them together, but those processes don't necessarily need to have as much access as you do themselves.

Take the venerable `cowsay` for example. Currently, running `cowsay` (as with any other program) can cryptolocker your hard drive, delete all your files, reach out to arbitrary servers on the internet, etc. But how much access to your system does it actually need to do its job? Well, mostly... STDIN, and STDOUT, really.
