And indeed looks suspicious.

But, the domain name looks like to be explicitly listed on the Cyprus sec website:

And it would make sense that if they cut off the system/backend that were using before, they would need something like the password reset.
Previously auth might even have been handled by ftx main service.

I personally prefer https://explain.dalibo.com over depesz's version, both from a visualization standpoint (I can more clearly see the hierarchy of operations) but also because I've had some not great experiences with depesz the individual. Great blog, but a really soured opinion of him.
I expect that's because the post itself was deleted. Also, deleted threads don't get much traction, so Reddit didn't have much to say on the topic :)

I don't live in the US and as such have never interacted with the IRS, but you're equating actions with a very different scope.

Looking at it from a game development Perspektive:

The tax filer(intuit in this example) is the client running on untrusted devices,
The tax office is the server which has to do a sanity check for each action to assure they're not cheating.

Essentially the "client" has a lot of branching actions it could generate and the server only has to validate one of these.

From my perspective this client should be provided by the government with public apis for alternative implementations, as they're the one's providing the server.
I averaged 57.4 hours per week in office my last year, plus another 6 hours commuting. There wasn't a while lot of value to being there. Now the subways have gotten worse, lunch costs are even more exorbitant, and the banks have gotten even less productive while tax rates have gone and are going higher. Might as well leave the city and save the city and possibly state tax and have a better lifestyle

I suggest lowering your expectations about how many questions the news can answer for you!
They are simply 'Gone'.
I'm not sure it's a great business model - seems a very competitive area, low barrier to entry, and hard to establish much of a moat. But I am struggling to see what you mean by "cynical cash grab".
Yes! Either the best scam I've ever seen, or the most phishy looking legit page.
There's an explanation here:

Basically, looks like they wasted a lot of time building collaborative knowledge graph features, and then realized no one really wanted them. By that point there were mature single-user alternatives and they were no longer competitive.
NY grand juries (regular people) do all of the actual work without prompting from the DA.

The only thing the DA does is provide witnesses and physical evidence and read the laws relating to the evidence.

The grand jury asks all the questions of the witnesses and reviews all the evidence.

Then they vote to indict or not in private. The DA asks if they voted and how. They report their votes.

At no point is the DA coercing anyone to vote a certain way, which would be illegal. At no point are jurors discussing the case with anyone outside the jury room (also illegal).

The rumors are there are dozens of indictments, each one based on evidence and witness testimony.

There’s this huge cloud of politicization over this, but the reality is Trump, his attorney, and possibly others committed crimes and this grand jury is holding him accountable.

As law-abiding citizens, is this not what we expect and has it not been the foundation of our judicial system for 247 years?

Or is a former president simply immune from our laws and judicial processes?
Are there any indications that paying for Meta Verified opts you out of their data collection, since you've given them money instead?
> SELinux isn't about immutability, it's about program confinement.

The mechanisms that allow for program confinement also allow you to construct an immutable OS.

> Running each daemon in its own fs/user/net namespace comes a lot closer to mimicking the value of SELinux than making the OS immutable.

Maybe, but it's still pretty far off. SELinux is about removing DAC/an all powerful user much more than it is about sandboxing.
You might have a point here, maybe the era of cheap money funded this nonsense.

We need european companies (not e.g. french or german, but european) with european legislation. What a boost in investment that would be, what an eldorado. I suppose.
Yeah, your points are valid.

I think the beauty of serde is its flexibility. I can change the format from JSON to one of the other 21 supported formats with ease.

We're both agreed - popularity benefits platforms in many ways. I'm not a fan of hype-driven things, unless the hype ends up making the thing more valuable.

Rust is a good example - there was undoubtedly something useful there with its concept of compile time checks and memory safety with performance. It also had nice tools like cargo. But that wasn't enough. Quality alone isn't enough.

Look at the adoption curve (https://lib.rs/stats). If it had remained as popular as it was in 2018 then it would not be something I could recommend for general purpose programming. The main criticism of Rust in 2018 was that there weren't enough libraries to do basic things. You had to write and maintain a lot of that yourself. Fortunately for Rust, the hype based around its feature set and early successes snowballed into more adoption. In 2023, hardly anyone complains about missing libraries. At most they're missing one or two, and they can write those themselves.

Joining a hype train of a platform is a rational thing to do, because of the technical benefits of using a popular platform.

I'm far more critical of fads in our industry where we blindly copy practices from large tech companies, like algorithmic interviews. Copying interview practices doesn't lead to shared benefits, unlike a platform.

> Whatever your favorite PL is, it may also grow features too fast.

For what it's worth, Rust is really conservative about adding new features. Only big features I can remember in the last 3 years is GATs, and that's a pretty nice feature. Most of the feature work is making things more consistent. For example, we can write async functions but not async trait methods. They're fixing this inconsistency now.
I gave FreeBSD a try a couple of years ago and it was a hassle all the way for me. It's not beginner friendly from what I remember but I hope that has changed.
The EU DPO is going to find that Meta doesn't comply with the regulation and it's going to hit them with huges fines. It's more productive than blocking it. If they don't pay up, the court will most probably order asset freezes and cessation of operations in the EU, including blocking thir services. They are legally required to keep EU users' data in the EU anyway.
I became really suspicious when they asked for a proof of funds (I've never seen that) and when they wanted a tax identification/tax statement – that's really nothing they should ever ask for, and nobody asked for that before.
Also why 0.25% withdrawel fees?
Cool Buzzfeed article. The only thing “new” it’s the confirmation of the obvious regarding who is getting the axe at big tech, which is mostly sales and paper pushing people.
It answers plenty. That it's happening (for folks outside our industry), it's small (relative to the industry), and where they're going.
There are aspects of this issue that can be framed as a trade-off to be weighed up, but it's important to recognize how inextricably entwined the two things are, the fates of humans and of ecological diversity, and that science has a leading role in showing this.

Biodiverse ecosystems provide immense value in terms of services like water cycling, water and air purification, coastal and inland erosion prevention, they are treasurehouses of potential new foods, medicines, materials, biotechnologies. They are widely recognized as beneficial for human mental health and as important sources of inspiration for the human imagination. On top of that yes, you have many more purely moral consderations. Science can help discover and quantify those things in many ways.
A bit bland sure, but it's in there. They are going exactly where I expected them to: Companies that aren't considered tech companies, but have a need for software developers and engineers. From the article: Farming equipment, car industry, banking, insurers and retail.

These places have been struggling to hire for years, now they can finally fill those positions, or at least some of them.
They list in the paper, or jump to last page in appendix.

Mostly good on words based financial tasks, and it did poorly in tabular numbers tasks.
Probably a bit smaller - and doesn't have a multiplier/divider (it does have the minimal MQ register instructions), and it has a minimal IO interface

In some sense it's a toy because the TT internal clock is so slow and it needs to run 5 clocks/memory cycle because of the tiny bus interface - ideally in say TT 4 with ~16 bits each way in the IO bus we could actually make something that could outperform an original PDP8

I complained that a sailing club I was a member of used Facebook to organise the weekly activities. They offered WhatsApp as a compromise! It was almost impossible to participate without it, because you needed a safety boat operator on site to sail. In the old days I guess they simply agreed a rota, now everyone is 'too busy' to do that, so a Facebook group is the answer, 'anybody sailing today'.
> It's absolutely mind-boggling that the administrators try to establish "equity" by pushing all students down

That is simply socialism 101 as portrayed in Rush' "The Trees":

There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas

The trouble with the maples
And they're quite convinced they're right
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade?

There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream, "oppression"
And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
"The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light"
Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet
Axe
And saw

I can't find another job even with a FAANG background. The market is brutal. Maybe my only choice is to start a startup.
i just mean that k-means is a rather simple algorithm for finding centroids. most algorithms that are more sophisticated might do better than k-means.
> There are lots of forces other than markets to appeal to - nations, industry groups, religions.

Most of which suffer from an analogue of market forces. For example, elections are won by playing the "getting elected" game near-perfectly. That leads to behavior which no one might want, but people are forced into.

> The idea that any "we" may or must choose how to govern humanity is a category error.

The category error is that not making a choice isn't a choice. Right now, we're governed by complex dynamics, which are at least as restrictive as choices we might engineer.

The book "Dictator's Handbook" gives a nice overview of the dynamics which govern us. It's a game-theoretic (but non-mathematical) analysis of political systems, including corporate and democratic governance.
The way netbsd does drivers has always interested me. It seems like you could solve the problem with new distros not supporting lots of basic hardware by using netbsd’s drivers with your kernel
The difficulty here, as I understand it, is that Trump could have plenty of reasons for paying off someone, not all of which are to do with political campaigning. For instance, he could argue that he paid off SD to avoid damage to his relationship with his wife or family, and that it had nothing to do with his campaigning.

(In fact, you could argue that this defence is even stronger because he is Donald Trump. He has plenty of dedicated supporters who seem to stick with him regardless of his transgressions; accusations of infidelity might be less damaging to him politically than to other politicians!)

So, the prosecutors have to somehow convince a court what his intent really was, i.e. it's less about what he did and more about why he did it.
I’m thinking of things like the invention of the automobile, typewriters, calculators, even writing. Before those were invented people did things very differently - they walked or rode a horse, wrote manually, used slide rules or basic arithmetic algorithms like long division, memorized things and persisted them through story telling rather than persisting them in writing.

People are still actively acquiring the knowledge to do things the old fashioned way in those areas, a hundred or even thousands (for writing) of years later. But typically they only do it if they need to or find it interesting.

It’s hard for me to think of any technological advance (outside entertainment) that actually caused a mean regression in peoples’ effectiveness, or for people as a whole to completely stop acquiring the skills of doing something the old way to deleterious effects. Like, has there been any invention that was so easy to use that people got worse at the task the tool was invented for? In aggregate it may happen if the tool greatly reduces barriers (like training, experience, or study) to entry, but I kind of doubt it happens for specialists.

Note by effectiveness I mean the general task, not the specific skill that may have become obsolete. I’m not effective at all with a slide rule but I have a Python shell, the internet, and hardware capable of floating point operations.
Which part of the article and study are a "lie"? Hand-waving wealth as being irrelevant to achievement by highlighting Asian success ignores other resource-related factors.

One easy factor to distinguish is the percentage of immigrants in the Asian population."Around six-in-ten Asian Americans (57%), including 71% of Asian American adults, were born in another country"[1]. The background of a lot of these immigrants made them well-qualified to succeed despite their American socio-economic status on arrival [2].

If you compare that to black people in America, many of who's ancestors were brought here in unsavory ways, only "One-in-ten Black people in the U.S. are immigrants". There's no comparison of the ingress of black people in this country when compared to Asian populations, and consequently we don't see the same US immigrant selectivity boosting the numbers of an already disadvantaged race in the same way.

This is not to say that culture has no effect, since I doubt the high participation rate of Asian children in after-school tutoring necessarily hurts those children [5], but it may represent a smaller part of the overall picture than most people think. Choosing minority races from opposite sides of the success spectrum and underlining some of their differences in a data-driven way may help us better understand and combat the problem of equity.

The recent news and hype around AI motivated me to create a project on my personal computer with limited resources, using minimal code[0] to combine ChatGPT[1] with computer vision. This efficiently extracts structured data from virtually all websites I visit regularly, even though the resulting text may be somewhat poorly formatted. Despite the text's imperfections, ChatGPT is still able to provide me with summaries and insights. For instance, it can compare prices from various e-commerce sites, detect discounts and different payment methods, analyze soccer match results, and even generate humorous morning news summaries based on the top headlines in spanish!.

However, the recent "letter of warning against AI" penned by Elon Musk and other influential individuals has led me to question their motives. I suspect they may be losing the competitive edge they once had, as users can now effortlessly obtain information in ways that were previously unattainable. It's possible they are seeking to lobby for new laws that restrict this kind of data extraction. With such simplicity, I can envision a future where people no longer need to browse web pages, ultimately making ads and the whole business of treating your users like crap irrelevant.

The Painful Lesson Donald Trump Could Learn from R. Kelly and Michael Avenatti

If this is the case, it seems to be a _relatively_ technical breach of the rules. Maybe intent would get to the heart of the matter. I'm no expert, but it's surprising to me that they would indict a previous president over this with all of the ramifications.
Is ChatGPT killing StackOverflow? An analysis of four months of data
Not that I agree with the trivial part, but that’s a good question. Afaiu, current AI has a “context” of few thousand something, in which it operates. If someone enlarges it enough, loops it to data sources, makes its output to do real things (posts, physical movements), then it’s a stage for “will”. You only have to prompt this chain with “chase <a goal> and avoid <destruction conditions>”. If we humans didn’t have to constantly please thermodynamics and internal drives, we’d stay passive too.

I have not stopped messing with Stable Diffusion and llms for like 7 months now and I've been a software engineer for 20 years. I use copilot and chatgpt and my own brain and have released two compiled python apps on itch ( first real apps I've ever built and released from the ground up on my own) - both are ai tools, one for stable diffusion one for flan-t5. I'll be releasing a unity solitaire game soon as well, and ive been training my own models.

This is the most fun I've had creating things since I started programming.
