> has nothing to do with terrorism

Fair enough. The process violation is Binance saying they wouldn't sell crypto derivatives to Americans and then helping e.g. a Chicago-based client pretend he wasn't American so they could sell them crypto derivatives.

No terrorism. But also no privacy/AML angle. (We have good reasons for regulating swaps. There is also zero financial privacy pitch for crypto derivatives bought and sold on a centralized exchange.) That there is also evidence of willful terrorism financing probably pushed this up the CFTC's to-do list, however.

> if you're supporting universal bans of mixers

Straw man–nobody is proposing a universal ban. The harshest proposals would require KYC at mixers. The best solution is probably something lighter, though pitching financial privacy as a basic right against e.g. the backdrop of the likes of Binance isn't doing the industry any favors.
It does not say that there was only one $600 transaction, only that a $600 transaction can barely buy a particular weapon. It says that they're structuring the payments to be small to avoid money laundering notice.

'Lim explained to a colleague that terrorists usually send “small sums” as “large sums constitute money laundering.” Lim’s colleague replied: “can barely buy an AK47 with 600 bucks.” And with regard to certain Binance customers, including customers from Russia, Lim acknowledged in a February 2020 chat: “Like come on. They are here for crime.'

We have no idea from this what sort of money laundering Hamas was doing on Binance, or if it was found ex-post, but we do know that at least one Binance employee thought they were using it for crime.
Incorrect. What happened was a mentality of "country club open bar tab" similar to dotcom times: over-hire without a business reason and skipping budgeting.

A nice thing with CW is that you can get it through some really impressive noise floors. I personally never use it outside of contesting though and that barely counts since it tends to be macros.

Also, all amateur stations are required to identify regularly. Relays will ident quietly in morse so it doesn't interrupt the voice comms happening on that channel.

Fair point, defs should be mentioned by any serious article.

This is a relevant watch by James Hoffmann on how open source espresso machines kinda turned into Decent Espresso. (edit: ok, on rewatch i guess it wasn't open source, it was kickstarter, however philosophy was the similar - use off-the-shelf components and software)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKA2COJRt6M

For what it's worth, i've had a Decent DE1+ for about 2 years, and while it's very unlikely i'll change, i am excited to see what other options crop up in the coming years. for me personally, there is no competition, mainly from a quick-to-heat and pressure/flow profiling perspective, both of which are quite important to me.

my understanding is the hardware side for accurate flow-profiling really is quite hard with off-the-shelf components, so the open source espresso machine is unlikely to become a widely available commodity, unlike say 3d printers which can easily be homebrewed and work amazingly well.
I'm most curious about your personal life!
Sure, I am just confirming that mindset, but can you really reason about the performance impact of that allocation? Even if it does end up allocating due to escape analysis not being sufficient, it will do a thread local pointer bump allocation on a hot, in-cache arena basically, and will just be zero-cost cleared once the still achievable objects are moved.

My point is, knowing when to think/not think about allocating and its relevant costs is the proper way to program in a high level language. Only care about it when you are at a part that runs in a hot loop or very often, etc. Pretty much as per the second part of the often partially quoted “premature optimization…”.

> why are all the good jobs where people want to live correlated with higher factors of NIMBYism?

What a strange question, as if it reverses the correlation. People who buy a property before new people come in, such as SF during the 60s, will inevitably see their home prices rise and want to capture that value without wanting to build more housing. The places where people don't want to live simply...don't see this phenomenon, because people don't want to live there. Of course supply and demand still matters, you can't just build houses in some random part of the country and expect people to move there. You need to build where people want to move. This doesn't really have to do anything with not building more housing, and indeed NIMBYism explicitly denies housing construction approvals.
Also gives a lot of the marginals some runway to line something up.

I agree the only acceptable layoff is no layoff. I think it's justified to criticize a layoff, no matter how it is performed. And I agree that criticizing the mechanics of each layoff is misguided.

I think layoffs leave a bad taste in the mouth because they seem to suggest that some employees weren't necessary. If you aren't cutting programs or products, you are either saying some employees did nothing, or the remaining employees will shoulder more work for the same pay.

I wonder: if layoffs were accompanied by a list of programs/products that are being sunset, if it would be more palatable.

ChatGPT hallucinates a lot, but Bing chat so far for me doesn't do that. And it makes the key parts of the answer clickable to read the pages it got that from. So you can judge whether you trust that page or not.
I think the people who settled both regions, bringing the wheel, a language family, and other cultural structures probably left a common foundation that perhaps lead to further parallel development and/or facilitated cross fertilization.

India had wide trade and cultural interchange between Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and even the eastern Mediterranean at least as far back back as Harrapan times.

What AI Can Tell Us About Intelligence
To anyone who may be pasting code along the lines of 'convert this sql table schema into a [pydantic model|JSON Schema]' where you're pasting in the text, just ask it instead to write you a [python|go|bash|...] function that reads in a text file and 'converts an sql table schema to output x' or whatever. Related/not-related--great pandas docs replacement is another great+safe use-case.

Point is, for a meaningful subset of high-value use-cases you don't need to move your important private stuff across any trust boundaries, and it still can be pretty helpful...so just calling that out in case that's useful to anyone...

Interesting! I'm in the process of learning Rust (early days, early days) and whatever I write in Rust in the near future will have to interface nicely with C, AND for various reasons I also need to become far more expert in BPF than I currently am (just at the "uh, that's what happens I make these seccomp calls" stage right now), so this is a great little project for me to explore. Thank you for that.

That said (you knew there was a "but" coming, right? :->), why ptrace? Was that the only or just the simplest way to do this?

I know this is a PoC, but given disabling ptrace is considered by some (many?) an important security practice (moo), I'm wondering if there is a better alternative?

Thanks!
>Previously, you used to see much more "mixing" in the cases of, for example, a businessman marrying his secretary or a doctor marrying a nurse. Of course, there is a whole separate discussion about the power dynamics in those situations.

Anti-sexual harassment training, and more broadly the discouraging of socialization between men and women, has reduced the opportunity for men and women to marry. The flip side of the leering male executive no longer being able to chase his secretary around a desk to try to pinch her on the butt is another executive not being able to politely court the secretary he is in love with (and vice versa).

I don't have a good answer for how to get the one without the other, but both are consequences of modern sensibilities.
Yeah likewise. In ten years of macbook use the only change that really threw me a bit was stopping 32 bit apps working.
Yep, they just need to provide a business specific frontend chat UI.
If your company's code is all repositories on Github (or bitbucket, or any similar service), worrying about ChatGPT is quite silly.

And on the other hand, if your company doens't use Github etc due to security concern, it's a very good sign telling you need to ban ChatGPT too.

I had a similar reaction after trying it a couple of years ago. I only needed a fairly straightforward FSM for a video player UI, and I like to properly understand any libraries I use. Xstate seemed to have waay too much going on.

I ended up writing my own in about 80 lines of typescript in less time than it would have taken to finish going through the Xstate docs. Doubtless Xstate is exactly what's needed for some projects, but I suspect it's unnecessarily adding to the complexity of many more.
"Real reasons" suggests a conspiracy. Macroeconomic times changed and some companies were operating grossly inefficiently in terms of spend (Meta). Other companies emulated to take advantage of the times and to appease stockholders. This is what a contraction cycle looks like.

It would behoove companies to run more like Apple in the one aspect of not overhiring and avoiding hiring freezes.
So are you saying that Apple should produce any app that anyone ever might need?

Do you feel the same way about console makers?
Yes that is the truth,nobody knows the future. But we you see something coming right at us, why still so much doubt?
>some kind of cash-cow that drags its feet to get more money

just for the record, a cash-cow is a business you can just keep milking cash from, not one that you keep feeding cash to. It comes from the BCG (Boston Consulting Group) "growth-share" matrix to describe the lifecycle of startups.

https://www.scienceabc.com/wp-content/uploads/ext-www.scienc...

the basic idea is, a company with a large market share in a growing market will just keep making cash in the future but requires investment now, as opposed to a company with a low market share in a market that's not growing, or the other variations. "Stars" are essentially potential unicorns, worth investing in.
I used keePass before LastPass, but the issue was with keeping the file synced. I had it in Dropbox and I was able to open it no problem from the phone, but making updates from phone was a challenge. Maybe I was not using a good app but it was a hassle to keep it synchronized.

But anyway, somebody could cut off your access to Dropbox, but it’s less of an issues since you have a backup.

Why do you think jsonnet is quirky? It has pretty normal components overall: local bindings with lexical scope, imports, functions. Certainly more pedestrian / closer to most general purpose languages. The only strange bit may be thunks / lazy evaluation, but its definitely possible to opt out of relying on their behavior.
I think the difference is AI takes data and in the past we just didn't have much data.

Now the vast majority of the worlds population has a cellphone and internet service, and use services that AI can improve/affect.

There is something we can do about it: we can keep improving, evolving, getting better. The solution will only be found in the future, with tools maybe outside of our grasp today.

Nothing is inevitable, until it happened. Till then, you and every other pessimist cand still be proven wrong. My money is on the creativity and ingenuity of the race that started in the trees, went to the moon and is currently birthing an even greater intelligence.

Yep, the current Russian war in Ukraine exposed the fact that the western 'military complex' isn't that industrial anymore, as (for example) the total annual production of artillery shells is less than what we'd shoot in a single average day of WW2.

There's still a lot of money spent, but it's spent less on actual industrial capacity but rather mostly on various high-tech R&D things - probably because then you can convert a larger portion of the order to profits instead of hardware.
Wouldn't fewer people having access make your proposed scenario less likely, regardless?

If other people continue to have access as well as the '3 letter agencies', the same power will still exists for the agencies, except that there will also be an essentially unlimited number of other people who could be used as scapegoats.

If only '3 letter agencies' have access, they would obviously be the first ones to come under scrutiny if a case of misuse were discovered.
A lot of people saw crypto coming right at us as well.

The attack in this case would be somebody shoulder-surfing your PIN and grabbing your device.

They then have everything they need to take over your iCloud account (kicking you out of it in the process by resetting all other devices capable of resetting it) and can see all your passwords stored in it, as well as use all of your WebAuthN passkeys.

I'm not sure if having a recovery code would improve that situation, but I'd guess that many people don't.

The “something you know” is your devices pincode/passcode/iCloud password, not the password to the website. If you know the password to a website it means you’re reusing passwords or using a pattern to generate passwords, both of which are less secure than randomly generated passwords (especially the former).

Of course, nothing is stopping you from saving a bogus password either.
> I know programmers want to believe otherwise, but common law can’t be boiled down to single line “if statements.”

It often can, but programmers often don’t like that, either, because instead of hinging purely on acts that enable simple hacks, it often hinges on things like knowledge and intent.

I thought about this, but I accidentally put the Webkit repo (~1m files) into Dropbox once and it didn't go well. Git needs a consistent view of the filesystem across many files to work, and that's not really possible with that many files stored in a sync system that works per-file like Drive does. I put Git in the category of specialist software that shouldn't be operated in Drive. By all means tar and backup, that should be effective, but there's no need to store all the individual files.

> what makes k8s complicated is dynamic scheduling.

… Which almost no startup or otherwise ever will need. Creating complex stuff for workloads you will never ever have. You hope to have them, but that’s called premature optimisation. And then you still mostly likely fall in the bracket of a company that will never need it.
Of course they did. And they'll keep doing it, because they can. And because knowledge like that is power, and they like power.

At this point, you can safely assume that anything muttered by a "tin foil hat nutter" sort in about 2005-2010 about the internet, computers, three letter agencies, and the like is correct. It's sure heading in that direction.

We do not know that. All we know is that a Binance employee knew about a $600 transaction, and made a general statement about the behavior of groups like this. We know nothing beyond that.
Ugh, straight-key input is so hard to get right, when keyboards have such awful springs. Offer an iambic option, especially one that uses mouse left and right buttons, and it's much easier to implement a "paddle".

I've been wondering if a cellphone's accelerometer would allow you to simply nudge the front and back of the phone itself, in the absence of any physical buttons at all, and have it run through an iambic keyer in software.
Both matter, and returns fall off as you go further in one but not the other. The Chinchilla paper[0] established a simple scaling law for Large Language Models: model size and training tokens should grow at the same pace.

Compute is then proportional to the product of model size & data quantity.

That said, quality of data also matters a lot - OpenAI has had human labelers produce the data for their Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), which has probably had a disproportionate impact on the success of ChatGPT compared to previous models, but that data is probably O(1%) of what they trained on.

At this point I'm guessing OpenAI are limited by both data & compute. Rumor has it they're training the "next big thing" now and it won't finish until December. If they had more compute they could presumably finish sooner, and if they had more data they would presumably let it train longer.
