Probably. But not the interesting bit (the tenth of Docker swarm they've layered on top of plain Docker - for better or worse).

I actually had a quick look at the code - and at this point it doesn't strike me as a tempting building block.

There's no developer overview i could find (birds eye guide to the MRSK code structure and concepts). There doesn't appear to be much in the way of tests?

Specially - i was wondering how hard it would be to replace traefic with caddy or haproxy, do letsencrypt via MRSK-managed parts of the deployment or drop in varnish.

As best I can tell - there's no clean or sensible way to do any of those things.

Despite that, as a simple Docker glue stick it seems quite useful.

I must say i was disappointed with one thing in the demo - hosting the app on the internet in plaintext covering it with a TLS figleaf via cloudflare. That's terrible guidance in a demo/tutorial.
Not disputing this, but does that mean buying forex is a security, and if not, what stops it being?

My guess is that foreign governments aren’t counted as 3rd parties / promoters?

Good. I hope the commercial space crashes to $0. Need more space where people can be housed or visit places of interest. Single purpose zoning is a relic of the 1950s suburban experiment.

Text messaging kinda sucks, as the messages are by default bound to a single device, and often lost when moving devices.

It does have a single advantage: most phone numbers support it, and you can send messages to people without prior coordination of which app to use.

But once you are more familiar with recipient, pretty much any app will work better.
Simple thought experiment: if I was a high school teacher and graded hundreds of exams, papers, and homework every month for years, would I develop the same opinion of my C-level students? The ones who have somewhat correct work, often inconsistent, clear that they're not thinking about the material, etc.

Humans all start out like this, but as they grow they develop different masteries. Many of those masteries are easy to learn and shared across all humans, like how to walk or tie your shoes. Many are domain-specific, like how to perform heart surgery or solve complex math problems.

I don't think AGI is a well-defined term based on the way it's thrown around, but sure I don't think it's "AGI". I do know it's going to be very useful technology, especially multimodal GPT-4 and beyond. I think our interface with AI is going to be multimodal.

Suddenly Google Glass could be an interesting product again. Glasses would stream audio/video to your phone, you'd be able to ask questions about things you're seeing, and it would display the answers on the screen or dictate them back into your earbuds. I like the idea of having a travel companion, another brain at my fingertips. Sort of like what the mobile phone did for us, but a lot less work for the user. I'm getting impatient waiting for this GPT-4 API access!
No because there is a game and the game is the main reason to own them; appreciation of value of rare cards is a by product and not the designed intent or the main reason to buy cards.

If Pokémon was marketed as “hey buy these cards they will be worth more tomorrow” (actual or implied marketing) then you could make that argument, which has gotten those NFT “games” into trouble with the SEC.
Oh definitely checking this out. Thanks for the recommendation!
It’s almost as if someone who can piece together words well enough they can make people think they are smarter than they actually are.
> everything not BTC/ETH is a security, please register them

Coinbase tried repeatedly to register them with the SEC and was turned away, which seems to be lost on your point.

From the article:

> The SEC will not let crypto companies “come in and register” – we tried.

> The Wells notice comes out of the investigation that we disclosed last summer. Shortly after that investigation began, the SEC asked us if we would be interested in discussing a potential resolution that would include registering some portion of our business with the SEC. We said absolutely yes. Specifically, the SEC asked us to provide our views on what a registration path for Coinbase could look like – because there is no existing way for a crypto exchange to register. We developed and proposed two different registration models. We spent millions of dollars on legal support to build these proposals and repeatedly asked for the SEC’s feedback. We got none. We also reiterated that we stand by our listings process – we don’t list securities today – and repeatedly invited the SEC to raise any questions about any asset at all on our platform. They raised none.
From the linked page on the Howey Test

> "The U.S. Supreme Court's Howey case and subsequent case law have found that an "investment contract" exists when there is the investment of money in a common enterprise with a reasonable expectation of profits to be derived from the efforts of others.[5] The so-called "Howey test" applies to any contract, scheme, or transaction, regardless of whether it has any of the characteristics of typical securities."

So I guess they are arguing they are not securities since their is no "effort of others" even if there could be a reasonable expectation of profits? Similar to art I guess? This seems like a plausible case on a strictly by definition basis, regardless of the way people are actually acting.

If the case is that the SEC just doesn't want to let them register the any of it, is there really no way they could be more straightforward? It seems like post FTX they would have a lot of leeway for this kind of thing. Unless maybe they think enforcement is a better path to lead to eventual regulation?
Google (and others) may not have released model weights, but they've published papers, which is ultimately what makes the field advance. OpenAI not only did not publish any GPT4 paper, they haven't even said how many parameters it has.
How did neglecting enthusiastic users work out for, say, Firefox's market share?
Regardless, the phrase indicates that they’re not securities. How are they not?
This works well. I’ve been in the industry about 20 years now and every job I’ve taken has had a short interviewing process followed by a probationary period, and then a full time offer is made after the probationary period.

I’ve only seen this approach fail once, and it wasn’t that big a deal, because very little time was sunk in to hiring the employee that had to be let go. At most a day or two was lost on-boarding.
What's more revealing is how easy it is to maximize FDIC for large sums of money.

You can get 250k per account per institution. That also applies to joint accounts. If you have a spouse and two kids you can get 5 insured accounts per institution (one for you, your spouse, one with you and kid one, you and kid two, and you and your spouse) so that's effectively $1 million per institution.

Follow this up to 50 institutions and you suddenly have FDIC backing 50 million dollars.

Of course this process can be automated well beyond 50 institutions with CDARS.

Does this protect hundreds of millions? That's harder but possible. But it does protect clearly up to 10s if not $100+ million - you just need the spouse and kids or someone to have the joint accounts with.
> the bank is legally obligated to honor outflow transfers of any size, at any time

they should have legally obligated SVB to remain solvent!
The "open" system was already a semi-defacto practice for many job boards, where you'd have the field present at input when creating the offer (I don't think it was mandatory, but many candidates won't look at an offer without a number)

That said, I personally negociated and had offers negociated for above the offering.

Think of it more as anchoring than hard bounds: a company details what they expect and how much they'd pay for it, and if on interview you don't fit the bill they could offer you a different job at a lower price instead of just refusing you, or you can ask a higher price for bringing a lot more skills than what they are requiring.

At the end of the day it's still negotiations.

"I went to the police and asked them if it was okay for me to do crime. I got legal threats instead."
I've been busy with a number of projects and haven't had time to look into this but have been dying to know; has anyone recreated the architecture that OpenAI uses for text-davinci-003, InstructGPT, and ChatGPT that simply doesn't have training data?

This is a reproducibility problem of its own sort. I mean, the papers are there out in the open if I understand correctly, but I don't know if anyone's actually built their own transformer architecture 1:1 against what OpenAI claims they're doing in the open.

I've seen maybe one or two models that supposedly do something similar on HuggingFace, but I'm itching to find the time to build my own.

If someone out there has already built it, I'd be fascinated to know what it looks like to train this architecture on a completely limited naive subset of knowledge that ChatGPT itself claims to be trained on:

> As an AI language model, I have been trained on a large corpus of text data from various sources, including but not limited to:

> 1. Wikipedia

> 2. Books from Project Gutenberg

> 3. Web pages from Common Crawl

> 4. News articles from various sources, including CNN, Reuters, and BBC

> 5. Academic papers from arXiv

> 6. Reddit posts and comments

> 7. Movie scripts

> 8. Song lyrics

> 9. Transcripts of speeches and interviews

> 10. User-generated content from various forums and social media platforms.

> This list is not exhaustive, and my training data is constantly updated and expanded to ensure that I can provide the most accurate and up-to-date information possible.

Like, can you imagine how a ChatGPT-like model would respond if only trained on particular discussions from subset communities online?

I think there's an interesting opportunity to basically collect communal knowledge from specific isolate communities and understand what a statistically probable output might be from particular groups of people.

It may turn particular soft science studies into hard science questions.

But you'd only know presumably if you had a working architecture with a near empty dataset.

This would also be tremendously useful for building automated chat AI for products that doesn't need to know the entirety of Clint Eastwood's career or the specific details of the features of a Boeing 747.
Each of these "flip flops" probably lasted a good deal longer than the median 20+ person startup, so that seems pretty facile. But the parallel with CoffeeScript seems valid --- people on message boards are really not OK with nonstandard languages, and are never less happy than when a company they've heard something about does actual computer science of any kind. See, for instance, Fog Creek and Wasabi.
> Like, provision Hetzner -> pass the IP address to the tool + a Dockerfile -> your image Just Works on the server and restarts if it crashes.

This is MRSK. It's just that rails now comes with a dockerfile. And your service need a health check.
I bet it was probably some sort of cache. Maybe it has a memory leak when hitting openai scale
After a couple years at Facebook, Hammerbacher grew restless. He figured that much of the groundbreaking computer science had been done. Something else gnawed at him. Hammerbacher looked around Silicon Valley at companies like his own, Google, and Twitter, and saw his peers wasting their talents. “The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads,” he says. “That sucks.”
No, you still are wrong. It has to be backed by an enterprise. Commodities are regulated by the CFTC. There’s no need for a security to be back by physical assets. A corporation can have no material asset backing (in fact some retailers have no assets at all, everything is rented or purchased on warehouse lines of credit with the expectation they can generate cash flow with minimal to zero capital investment; but their shares are still securities because they’re backed by an enterprise. I find it strange you learned of the Howey test but didn’t understand this, as it’s very clear in the description, a security must be:

An investment of money
In a common enterprise
With the expectation of profit
To be derived from the efforts of others
Transit Costs' full analysis (https://transitcosts.com/executive_summary/) decomposed the 2nd avenue subway costs into

- station sizes (causing spend on stations to increase by a factor of 2)

- nonstandard systems (elevators, escalators, etc) (causing an increase over nominal best practices of approximately 1.35)

- inefficient procurement (how contracting works) (increase by a factor of 1.85, although this is a squishy)

- soft costs (design, planning, construction management, contingencies) (factor of 1.2, again fairly squishy)

- labor costs (factor of 1.5 over a well run transit system baseline)

so it's both the case that the labor costs are outrageous and that they're insufficient to explain the outrageous project costs.

The second ave subway was supposed to be a replacement for the elevated train they tore out. At this point, they should consider just building a modern elevate train down second ave if digging is such a boondoggle. I think the only reason it was torn down is that business owners thought it to be unsightly.
With stable coins you can have insolvency which is worse than a bank run probably (because no government insurance). Stable coins are the worse to keep cash - higher risk than a bank account but no interest. The only logical uses for them is online gambling and money laundering.

You don’t own a USDC. Instead some random offshore company owes you a dollar.
This is my question about tests.

First, the trait examined is a range and is also situational. Second, your self knowledge of your ranges and situations is also variable and introduces more error. Third, the test introduces more error, it seems. Nobody on this thread has given any evidence this is a useful hiring tool.

My impression is hiring is difficult and there's no shortage of companies pretending to solve it with science, but it's not solved and it's not science.
The definition will be narrowed as computational capabilities expand.
I don't think AGI is going to happen anytime soon, but I think there's some mild danger in GPT at least ruining the internet and eliminating a few jobs. Plus mindf*king a few gullible souls, possibly into doing dumb, dangerous things.

Do you have anything pointing to the SEC giving actual guidance around BTC and ETH because i have never seen it.

Seems strange kraken would stop supporting the ability to stake ETH if your claim was true. Thats a ton of money for them to throw away just for fun.

SEC rarely does it’s job until it’s too late and only after someone else has done all the work for them.
"In the meantime, Coinbase will continue to do what we do best: updating the financial system by building the most trusted products and services to advance our mission of creating more economic freedom and opportunity around the world."

Is this equivalent to "We'll keep taking the public's money even when the SEC is investigating us and enforcement action appears imminent."

Coinbase is a US-based company.

When Paxos Trust received a Wells Notice last month, they stopped minting BUSD.
It almost reads as ignorant to me, to pretend as though all the issues women can face are "western propaganda". The middle east is often demonized in western media for sure but it's not like the women's rights index rates it 4th lowest out of 170 because of the war on terror.
It's farcically absurd that the crypto industry built its brand on avoiding government rules and now they are asking for regulation to protect their interests.
Forex is not a security because it’s not an investment in an enterprise but an exchange of like for like of legal tender. Otherwise the money changers at airports would be regulated by the SEC and they would have to register their currency exchange, and any international transaction would have to be disclosed and regulated by the sec in literally every single case. Plus the SEC has no authority either of the treasury of the US nor any other governments treasury.

If you think AGI is artificial, and generally intelligent then yeah it's AGI 100% but some people have such loaded expectations of AGI that a significant chunk of the human population wouldn't even pass lol.
Lol. A 25% cut and “my revenue is at risk” is meaningless when you make more in a year than most of your employees will even retire with.

It’s crazy we don’t hold CEO’s to the same rigorous standards as employees, despite their importance (as measured by salary) being x 100 that of the average employee. Low risk, high reward.
I don't think that's how it works.

A business registers with the SEC to gain a license to trade securities. Securities themselves don't register.

Happy to be educated if above is wrong.
European colonialism did some of that as well. I agree though, we should stop interfering with South America.
I like this app. It's very similar to an app I already use to restrict which apps are using data called Trip Mode. With Trip Mode, I can automatically block all connections by default and only allow whitelisted apps. I don't see that mode for Little Snitch Mini, but if it had that mode, I might completely replace Trip Mode with it.
No.

Companies already do research into what other companies pay. As another poster noted, if there is a non-competitive equilibrium (mostly among a certain class of competitors), there can be a tacit agreement that we just do whatever Google does. No formal agreements needed. Of course, companies already have better information than public websites do so they can mostly already do this without narrow salary bands being published.
In general is it okay to use datasets that have NON-Commercial clauses in them to promote a commercial business? I guess because you are not selling the models it is okay?

Bit-banging one I'd be surprised about mostly for signal integrity at that line-speed reasons.

However even a home silk-screened PCB could probably handle that and a USB control connection. Without deep knowledge hard part's likely the software, getting the connected item to work; probably as a virtual hardware device in a KVM or other emulated guest OS with the illusion it's on old hardware.
Do manufacturers of rat poison keep their factories free of peanuts, might be an analogous question.

The point being running to crypto because you are scared of a bank run is probably not going to be in your risk profile
>I think the equivalent here is the IRS saying "look, these numbers look wrong to us. Please check them. We are not in the job of doing taxes for you".

The IRS doesn't usually do that, though.

If they suspect something might be fishy, they'll audit you and make you justify your reported return.

If they can see that you're a terrible accountant, there's a good chance they'll just send a correction, usually in the form of an estimated bill, but sometimes in the form of an unexpected check.

The dirty secret of American taxes is that unless you move a lot of money under the table, the IRS does already know how much you owe. But there are jobs that need protecting in the tax prep sector.
This is so useful thanks!
Graphical web browsers from "tech" companies (and their partners, like Mozilla) are too large, too complex, too difficult for the user to control. IMHO.
Fortunately for San Francisco, "commercial on street level and residential above" does describe many of its neighborhoods
That model works for people with super high mobility: if you can afford to take a job, put efforts I to it for a few months, see if it pans out, and get out depending on how it goes, it's a good model.

If you have a family and a mortgage and need a pretty good idea of what they're offering because you can't afford to take stab a three or four jobs randomly and leave them if it doesn't work out.

Basically I see your model as perfect for newly graduates and freelancers, and pretty tough for everyone else.

In a way, these kind of openings still exist, they're basically consulting roles or internships.
> Coinbase tried repeatedly to register them with the SEC and was turned away, which seems to be lost on your point

My entire point is that the SEC doesn't like them, to them saying "please register" is the same as saying "get bent". I specifically mentioned that those registration papers are going straight into the trash.
A concern I have about OpenAI is that, if you're using their APIs to develop an application, they can mine your data to compete with you, or even beat you to market. They can do this indirectly, by sharing information with preferred business partners. The conflict of interest, combined with the lack of robust data privacy guarantees, makes me queasy.

If serving up generic LLM APIs becomes commoditized -- and I think it will -- they will want to monetize in other ways.
> I think that misses the parent's point. Corporations own physical assets (like buildings) and things with accepted intrinsic value (fiat currency). but they also indirectly own rights to other things that are indirectly backed by physical stuff in a similar manner (like shares of other corporations, etc.).

Not necessarily. Sometimes a corporation's value is based on something purely speculative, like a drug patent that may or may not work out, or even something that's widely thought to be worthless, like hot tips on the search for Bigfoot. That's completely normal.

I think your analogy is interesting but doesn’t the government list a scheduled of specific drugs and their classification? So applying your analogy would mean the SEC would list specific crypto on a schedule based on what type of security/commodity/exempt asset schedule they are governed by.

I also think government should work to promote certainty and treat good faith efforts from citizens and companies to get clarity with mutual good faith.
