The SEC has had a consistent position. The Howey test applies.[1]

Other than Bitcoin, which the SEC recognizes as not having an "issuer", crypto currencies would have to be registered by their issuer as securities. This means filing an S-1 form. An S-1 form tells who's behind the issue, their backgrounds, where the money is going, the business plan, and balance sheets. All filed under penalty of perjury. Every publicly traded company in the US has been through this process.

Any US registered broker can trade any registered security.

There are lots of restrictions that crypto companies don't like. You can't self deal. You can't wash trade. You can't clear your own transactions. Issuers, brokers, clearing services, and exchanges are different organizations. FBX argued to Congress that they didn't need all that separation of function. Now we know that was because it would have interfered with stealing the customers assets.

"given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow" is a compliment to open source, and telling your users that you use open source is a positive reassurance on other dimensions as well; it's relevant, and the truth is always relevant; there's no harm in mentioning it.

"Release early, release often" and "move fast and break things" are respected ideas that diminish the importance of QA. The more effective and efficient any QA you do is, yes, very valuable, and QA that finds broken things, all the better. But don't move slow is an OK compromise.

Constitutional lawyers-- how is this not discrimination?

I moved from a third world country with both socialized and private healthcare, to the United States. I pay vastly more for worse healthcare than anywhere I've lived.
The fact that you, your doctor can agree that a certain procedure is required, only to be denied by a third party with no medical qualification is absolutely dystopian.
One of the bits of trivia about the Concorde: It nominally flew at 60k feet, but a "cosmic radiation" sensor was added, and if went above some limit, they would descend to 47k feet or lower.
Interesting, it screwed up at step 160. I think it probably ran out of context, if I explicitly told it to output each step in a more compact way it might do better. Or if I had access to the 32k context length it would probably get 4x further.

Actually it might be worth trying to get it to output the original instructions again every 100 steps, so that the instructions are always available in the context. The ChatGPT UI still wouldn't let you output that much at once but the API would.
I think that would require a different plane design since they'd have less lift at that altitude.
Algorithms challenge? Yes. As long the interviewer is ok with explanations as I don't bother retaining syntax most of the time, if it's not the language I'm using for day to day work. I can come up with a solution in C or even Assembly, but only in rough terms.

See the Department of Energy's report "Theoretical Minimum Energies To Produce Steel for Selected Conditions" [1] and compare with the numbers in the wikipedia article on energy efficiency in transportation [2].

The table on page 15 lists the megajoules per ton required to produce steel with various amounts of scrap content. When made with 100% recycled scrap, steel requires "only" 1,289 megajoules per ton. Based on that wiki page rail requires 150 kilojoules per metric ton kilometer so a ton of steel costs only about 75 megajoules to transport a thousand km.

Large container ships use half that much energy so even if the steel scrap must be shipped overseas and back ten thousand km, it'd still be under 400 megajoules for transportation versus over 1,200 megajoules for recycling. The rest of the costs like sorting are negligible.

In practice it takes at least 2,500-3,000 megajoules per ton of steel since the scrap has to be mixed with other sources of iron when there's not enough scrap to go around. The number for aluminum are a lot worse, on the order of ten times more megajoules per ton to extract alumina from ore via electrolysis versus smelting aluminum scrap, which already requires 10x the energy of steel.

a six figure settlement is a rounding error for these institutions. Given their inefficiency it could easily cost many times that just to change their practices and train doctors to not do the wrong thing.

Things render after they've generated what they want to render, not before. If you want to render the result of 2 + 2, you have to run that calculation before you can render the result. When you call useQuery, you immediately and synchronously get the status of that query so that you can use it when generating the JSX you're returning to render.

And a side effect and useEffect are not at all the same thing. You're conflating generic software terms with APIs that have very specific meanings and functions within React.
Yeah there have been studies that as soon as you tell someone about the thing you're intending to go, be it go to the gym or become a musician, that causes you to lose motivation. But in today's Instagram, pour your heart out online, hyper connected world, trying to build up that follower count for online clout world, narrating your own life is how you live in it. It's one thing to proclaim I'm going to go to the gym and become hella ripped like the Rock and then can't follow through, it's another thing to be a smartphone addicted person that's posts every time they're at the gym. Point is, some people like the pomp and circumstance, others really hate the spotlight.

To sense is not the same as to make sense.
well that's the article-wave duality in action.
The big value I got from taking compilers as an undergrad was that it brought everything together. It's basically where computer architecture, theoretical CS, and software engineering (and a hint of systems security) collide in a very practical manner. Compilers make it very clear how all those seemingly disparate topics apply in real non-trivial systems.
> whether the FAA and ATF will throw a tantrum over a remote control weapons platform like that

I Am Not A Lawyer, and attempting to build an armed drone without the advice of one one will probably earn you an ATF raid with your dog shot, your spouse sniped, you arrested, your house burned down, a cabinet appointment for the raid leader, and you put on national news with the option for a Netflix documentary 20 years later.

The FAA has a regulation prohibiting the operation of "Dangerous Weapons" attached drones without prior approval [0], so that's your first and biggest hurdle.

A servo-actuated trigger is likely going to get deemed a "machine gun" by the ATF, as it's one firmware tweak (or bug) away from firing more than once per "trigger pull" by the human user. Now if you were to become an NFA firearms manufacturer (Type 07 FFL+Class 2 SOT) you would be manufacturing, demonstrating (remember that FAA approval) and selling hog hunting drones officially.

To reiterate: Do not even think about doing this without actual legal counsel.

Wish there was an update on this.

Edit:// I see someone else mentioned this before me.
Horrible, but, completely unrelated question. How much poppy seed would I need to eat to get high?
I personally do not think it is that difficult. It is indeed more expensive compared to sea transport, definitely (I said the same thing regarding the transport of grains in another comment), but it's certainly doable.

In case of a war starting I do think China won't look at the money getting spent anymore, so at that point importing oil from Iran via train [1] or from Russia (again, via train) won't be a problem for them in terms of money.

I also do think they'll switch to "war economy" mode pretty soon after the war starting, so no more private cars on the roads and such, which will greatly alleviate China's oil-related needs.

Later edit: And there's also the Northern route. I don't think any US aircraft career will be brave/stupid enough (depending on how you look at it) to position itself close to the Sakhalin Island or close to Kamchatka, that's prime hunting ground for the Russian subs. Never mind going into the Arctic Sea itself.

> False. A doctor has zero ability to order tests without patient consent (or consent of a guardian) in the US.

Ability isn't the right word, because they absolutely do it. It's unethical and perhaps illegal in some places, but they are able.

I've personally been administered a test non-consensually: I showed up at a hospital with severe pancreatitis, the doctors seemed convinced it was due to alcoholism but I (and my partner who they questioned privately) both reported that I don't drink at all. After several days they suddenly started aggressively treating me, performing tests, etc. I wondered what changed and got hold of my chart-- without my knowledge or consent they took a hair test to assay long term alcohol use and suddenly wanted to treat me when it came back negative.

I get that they needed to exclude an obvious potential cause and couldn't trust the patient to give an honest answer... but the non-consensual test really destroyed my trust. Of course, if they'd asked I would have readily agreed and it isn't as if their skepticism wasn't already apparent.

it's mostly a problem with screens, simple, inexpensive tests that should only be used a precursor to running an expensive test involving mass spectrometers.

usually the manufacturer of the screening test mentions this in the documentation, that nobody feels like reading. certainly not the administrators implementing/enforcing the policies.

The "pivot to try to save the business" usually doesn't work.

Where pivots work is something like Amazon and AWS where internally Amazon already did IT at a large scale incredibly cheaply, so they figured out how to sell it.

They didn't do that though because retail was collapsing, they just saw another opportunity.

There are at least 5 separate issues at play here, but the one most front-and-center in my mind is that under no circumstance should any medical procedure be done on any person in the US without informed consent of the person, their guardian, or their medical PoA.

Even if a procedure is "medically necessary", that does not give doctors the permission to do that procedure without your informed consent. When a procedure is not "medically necessary", it's even worse. There are people who refuse "medically necessary" procedures every day in this country on numerous different grounds, including religious grounds, and this is deeply legally protected and well upheld in case law.

There is no valid justification for the behavior of these hospitals.
Sounds like the hospital is subjecting mothers to damages through their negligence.
Google is a megacorp. Of course it behaves as a megacorp. And tbh what would you expect - if they fire thousands, there is no way they'd do it with individual attention to every person.

That said, I don't think Google has been "beloved" for years now. It has been just another megacorp that pays reasonably well.
They have been investing in this for a long time, CUDA is 15 years old. That said, they have plenty of competition now and that's only going to increase.

- Apple have got their own chips now for mobile AI applications for iPhones.

- Google have got their own chips for Android and servers.

- AMD are gaining on Intel in the server space, and have their own GPUs, being able to sell CPUs and GPUs that complement each other may be a good strategy, plus AMD have plenty of their own experience with OpenCL.
Does it work? If it works then you have to think twice before any changes. The irony is, poorly written often also means unintended consequences if once you refactor. Balloon grabs are the worst.

The business doesn't care about "aesthetics". It cares about results. I'm certainly not going to defend poorly written software, only that it all depends on your POV. So unless un-poorly can deliver significant value to the business it's best to consider other ways to deliver value.

There are podcasts which are not, and which I find vastly more interesting. I do find US public broadcasting podcasts to be among the less tolerable of the set I do listen to in terms of ad / sponsorship spots, though they're probably far better than the run-of-the-mill example. (My standards are high, and tolerance of any advertising exceedingly low.)

Academic and informational channels tend to be better, with Peter Adamson's "History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps" and Stephen West's "Philosophize This" among my faves. Even here there are exceptions with intrusive spots (often dropped without any break / segue from the main content), with LSE and the New Books Network (otherwise both excellent) being notably annoying.

Learning to skip into/outro themes is part of the game. "You Are Not So Smart" wins my award for most annoying intro, and the opening monologue / ad break are highly skippable in most cases.

Otherwise, my principle problem with most US public-media pods is that they're overly popular (in the negative sense) and talk down excessively (Freakonomics, Planet Money, etc.), though there are exceptions. I find Fresh Air's long-form interviews typically excellent, for example, and its ad spots whilst excessive are clearly indicated and can be skipped pretty easily.
This, anything happening to Taiwan will shaken IT and electronics industry severely. We are ahead of "chip-covid" event in my opinion as IT wasn't enough shaken by SARS-Cov2 or Ukraine, I hope I am wrong. Intel stock price would sky rocket then.

I always thought "intelligence" was defined as the capacity to learn. Websters' first definition of "intelligence":

> capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc.

seems to partially bear that out.

Its not clear what definition Microsoft is using, but I don't see any real learning going on here. These models are painstakingly hand-trained by lots of humans over a significant period of time. The model itself is not "learning" anything, the humans are.
