Does my putting money in a certified deposit at a bank count as a security? Note that that one is interesting, as their are brokered cds, and those are definitely treated as securities. And then their are plain interest bearing savings accounts, and those are not? (Or are they all, nowadays?)

(And yes, this is no different than a loan that you give out not being a security, but loans can be wrapped up in forms that are considered securities.)

I suppose you can argue it is one of scale? If I loan money to some friends in the condition that they pay me back with interest, nobody cares. If I set up an exchange so that many people can do this, it gets interesting.
I'm of the firm belief that if you want to inflict violence on someone there should be physical risk for those that want to inflict the violence. So that's a no to any kind of remote controlled murderbots.

I think it would be interesting to compare this with the Apple BHA. Although in this case, Admiral Hopper's family would have to take up the fight.
I'm not sure if it's possible to draw that comparison. For example, Magic Leap could have used Android (I don't know, maybe they did?) and saved almost all of that iOS R&D cost. Even they were working on incremental costs over what already exists.
I agree that hiding coloring entirely is really a trap. I want to know when some IO work runs because it means potential exceptions unknown with unpredictable latency in my program.

As a design choice of OCaml’s eio - an async runtime, you must pass around a dependency to all your IO functions. With the “net” object passed visible in my function type signature, I can tell some network work may occur. The first benefit is we get synchronous Go-like code.

What do you mean about tiktok here? I've not noticed machine-translated tiktok being a thing.
Depends on the device/brands. Z-Wave/Zigbee...etc devices will let you communicate directly with them locally. We contributed a bunch to ZWave-js and it's a great library for doing exactly that. For manufacturers' clouds, a handful offer public API but it's usually the exception, not the rule. There are a handful of opensource libraries out there but otherwise most manufacturers aren't setup to support third-party devs. It takes quite a bit of business development to get access to their APIs. With respect to Seam, we may open source some of our connectors but it's still going to depend a bit on the manufacturers. I think they conceptually like to have someone they can call vs not exactly being sure who's hitting their infra.

I guess it won't end too well for crypto so.

They bought Alien Blue, made it official, and then completely re-wrote the app from the ground-up into what we have today. I don't even understand why they bought Alien Blue; it seems as though nothing from that app made it into the eventual standalone Reddit app we have today.

If you downloaded Alien Blue on an old device, you can still use it today, because the standalone Reddit app is a separate application in the app store altogether.
In this case, it was a kernel filesystem driver test suite, and the test suite isn't in fact relying at all upon argv being a zero-length array. It's not part of any workflow.

Indeed, the test suite is, rather, this very bug waiting to happen. Still. Two years later.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfstests-dev.git/tree/...

Easily solved by:

static char *argv[] = {
FILE1,
NULL,
};

The xfs test program invoked by the execve() is calling getopt_long_only() passing the zero argc and a zero-length argv that execve() was given. It is quite ironic that that test program is thus exceeding the argument vector bounds and going off into some adjacent part of memory, because one of the first things that getopt_long_only() does is:

optind = 1; /* Don't scan ARGV[0], the program name. */
Sample-rate shading is exceptionally rare (MSAA is rare-ish these days, but I only know of exactly one title that has shipped sample-rate shading), so requiring a basic compiler transform to handle it, especially when they can do so easily because of their tiler architecture, is pretty sane.

Why does this matter? Even if Americans are scamming foreigners (0 Americans losing money), that doesn’t make this legal.

The difference between aapl and coinbase is there is regulatory audits of the books and required publications about the health of the security. There are rules about insider trading and insurance protections if a brokerage mishandles your money (see Blockfi).
I don't think so. It's proprietary. I don't understand why it can't just be a nice library. I suppose you can't launch a startup off a library

Do there exist _any_ public porn companies in America? AFAIK, I think they are all held privately. From a cursory search, I'm not seeing anything.

Whether we like it or not, most investor money is ultimately managed by rich old dudes who want to save face around their friends and family. Since the US is prudish as all get-out, they don't invest in porn directly through the stock market.

If you want to invest in porn privately, I'm sure those companies will take your money and you can work out a payment scheme and contracts without involving the S&P.
I'll admit I don't know much about the specifics of Lemmy, so I assumed it has the same issues as Mastodon. There's still the issue of defederation? And notifications (new post/reply) are sent to the home instance of every subscribed user and include content, right?

I think it would be better to send only small "something's new" push notifications, having the client reach out for any data or even metadata. Also, having user identities be cryptographic keys could solve the defederation problem, but I understand that the user experience would be very atypical. Restricting moderation drama to one particular instance is to me a very important feature of decentralised systems, and the possibility of being excluded from the larger community over such drama is a serious fault, even if that's probably less likely with Lemmy.
There's a line somewhere, and I think it's different for every person. For a lot of people, the pricing itself is just outright hostile. 8gb of RAM in a base model Mac is not future-proofed in an age of local AI models, and paying to upgrade it gets expensive, fast. For others the OS is hostile when it unceremoniously drops support for $THING they use, or because it has the gall to show them ads. For others yet, the hardware is hostile because it's basically a black box that Apple withholds documenting to maintain a monopoly on fixing them.

Apple is one of the few companies smart enough to deliberately do this. It is both a testament to ability to do brilliant things, and akin to being trapped in a room with a lion that has twice your SAT score. The "golden handcuffs", as they say.

Perhaps because killing third-party apps is completely unrelated to LLMs? While they’re both related to the API lockdown, the core problem is not LLM-related. It’s Reddit’s own short-sighted incompetence.

They can EASILY provide high prices to LLMs and low prices to app devs. They just won’t. It’s in their best interests to remove third parties and force everyone on the inferior, ad-ridden official app. They could even make premium-based account tokens to allow them to use third party apps, but that’s too long-term oriented. They have to pump’n’dump NOW.
People tend to claim their hardware is generally overpriced. I do think that's more of a myth when examined more closely. However their RAM and storage upgrades are clearly absurdly expensive as we can easily compare them to retail numbers.
Specifically GPU drivers, which can dramatically impact performance. Especially if I am attempting to run any kind of ML workload from Linux. I'm assuming it's basically a non-starter at this point and one is forced to use Mac OS.
Not for a STEMI specifically, it’s one of two ECG patterns even a radiologist like me knows how to read. This is a stronger argument for other diseases. Door to balloon target in STEMI is 90 minutes.

STEMI centers (this is picked up by EMS and these ambulances are redirected to appropriate centers) have 24/7 cath lab coverage and any major one will have an ER bypass even during afterhours to expedite care.

In fact more and more hospitals (and all the major ones) announce a “Code STEMI” overhead either when the ambulance is dispatched or as soon as the ECG showing ST elevations is discovered in triage/ER to activate the team and reduce door-to-balloon time.
If you look up the definitions of "security", "financial instrument", "commodity", and "currency", it is pretty clear that a plain vanilla crypto-currency like Bitcoin is no ordinary security nor a financial instrument. It is not a claim on something else, even less so than a traditional bank note. It is more like a commodity. Since when is "aluminum" a security?

A crypto currency business however may be engaged in trading of crypto currencies which are negotiable financial instruments, and a stable coin that is a claim on a traditional currency is an example of that. A stable coin bears a direct relationship to a bank note. It is a claim on something else. It is not really an investment though, so not much of a security.

And then of course there are more creative negotiable financial instruments which are definitely securities. Options, derivatives, swaps, futures, and the like.

The Supreme Court has a broader definition of securities, that involves a promoted investment in a "common enterprise", but it is unclear that a commodity currency really is a common enterprise like a corporation is for example. It seems unlikely to me that Bitcoin as such would even meet that definition of a security. But other products offered by crypto currency exchanges might.
There is 80 years of case law in the US about what is and isn’t a security. The SEC is applying the 80 years of case law history to this action. It’s not an SEC land grab.

More powerful chips are great, but NVIDIA really ought to focus some of their best folks on ironing out some of the quirks of using their CUDA software and actually getting stuff to run on their hardware in a simpler manner. Anyone who's ever fiddled with various CUDA device drivers and lining up PyTorch & Python versions will understand the pain.
To be fair, though, the claim here is "intact vehicles". That's as holy grail as it gets.
They have already explained the point. It's reducing the number of people who are incorrectly told they may soon die a horrible death.

If there are better ways to prevent that than a human-in-the-loop approach, feel free to propose it. But having watched it happen a couple of times, I'll note that actual doctors deliver cancer diagnoses in person, so it's not unreasonable to think that should continue to be the case.

Thanks for the links, the interview was a good read! I guess if the findings are just like little chunks of metal with some weird isotopes I'm not very convinced that they're like alien technology or anything.

E.g. the performance you can get out of the GPU at the moment is a subset of what you can get out of the hardware. Or as another more generic example, until this latest release CPU boost states weren't enabled due to lack of proper cpuidle driver which resulted in regressed single thread performance.

There is nothing inherent about running Linux that will require it be slower, in some cases it will/is even faster, but the lack of everything being fully supported does actually impact performance right now. It has been getting better with time.
> In the unlikely event of retaking Crimea, Ukraine is going to prosecute collaborators, cancel _all_ property deals after 2014, and expel Russian citizens who never had Ukrainian citizenship. I have received Russian citizenship, some of my family members have been Russian citizens all their life, and I have inherited, sold, and bought property after 2014. And while it is not clear who is going to be considered a collaborator, nobody who received Russian citizenship is safe (which means nobody at all).

Based on this.

> I have received Russian citizenship

You should be okay, I think they will recognise most people faced the choice of getting Russian citizenship or potentially very bad things happening to them, as long as you where Ukrainian before I don't see the issue.

> and I have inherited, sold, and bought property after 2014.

This is on you my friend, you knowingly sold, and bough property that was in essence stolen.

> And while it is not clear who is going to be considered a collaborator, nobody who received Russian citizenship is safe (which means nobody at all).

I don't think this is true, if you weren't overtly fighting or collaborating with the Russians I don't think the Ukrainians will do much.

They have no obligation to give legal advice, free or otherwise. It is the job of a company to keep in compliance, not the job of the SEC to be their outside counsel. Write to your senator if you think this should change.

> This requires a citation with data points, eg how many Americans lost money, how much money did they lose, etc.

My coworker lost $X0,000 over Celsius.

So yes, maybe this is a personal bias. But its based in reality. His entire account at Celsius is written off. He managed to save his money from Voyager. I got cousins who lost money in FTX. Different people, but same overall problem.

If my personal social circle is showing huge losses in these companies, I have to imagine that other people out there have similar experiences. I don't need a study to prove the facts, I just talk to my cousins / coworkers / other people who are directly affected.

EDIT: I forgot about this lovely thing: https://cases.stretto.com/public/x191/11749/PLEADINGS/117491...

See page 34, containing links to the customers who lost money in celsius. For the list of customers starting with the letter "A": https://cases.stretto.com/public/x191/11749/CORRESPONDENCE/1...

There, that's Celsius alone. Is that enough proof for ya?

> Because, what if there are more Americans who've made money than those who have lost?

Its not about making or losing money. Its about accounts disappearing because they've been lied to.

We're all adults here. We know that investments can lose money. But lying about those investments is where the law needs to step in. Liars need to be punished. And I get that people have been skirting the truth recently. But when we get to Celsius, Voyager, and FTX, the money was just straight up being stolen. Its the worst case offenders.

So now we need to think about what kind of culture caused these crimes. And its increasingly looking like "staking", and the culture surrounding it, is to blame.
