For anyone that isn't aware (and the following depends on your jurisdiction), the treatment for American Foul Brood (AFB) is pouring petrol into a sealed up hive and then burning the hive and hiveware.

It's typically spread by poor beekeeping - infected hiveware being shared or infected, dead hives getting robbed by healthy bees. It's all bad and really sad. I haven't had it, but it's within a few kilometres of me (which is well within bee flight range).
How are SPACs a ponzi? My understanding is that its a pool of money that gets raised to essentially take a private organization public through a merger with (theoretically) less red tape and cost. You buy into the SPAC without knowing exactly what is being bought but at the time of purchase you have the option to redeem you investment. There are other clauses if the organizer can't find a suitable takeover target.

You can criticize the fees or the fact that they are essentially trying to get around regulatory and reporting requirements. They did well a few years ago now they are doing poorly. But how is it a ponzi? Not everything that loses money is a ponzi

The main reason you can't be denied health insurance anymore is the preexisting conditions ban in the ACA. That's a much stronger signal than your SNPs.

But most privacy complaints here come from the idea that an evil corporation is going to get specifically your genes, look at them, and then somehow invent a super profitable medicine from that. Which doesn't really make sense.

You seem to think this matters, but the charges are conspiracy, so it in fact, does not. Their part of the conspiracy was already complete, whether they could do anything or not.

If you create parts for a bomb and hand them to someone else, knowing they are likely to use it as a bomb, and they in fact do, you are as guilty of conspiracy as the actual bomber.

Your crime was complete when you gave them the parts, which is an overt act (some act in furtherance of the conspiracy).

(Unlike the typical gun analogies that get brought up in response, i'm choosing something that does not have a legitimate purpose and is in fact illegal to create as-is)

If you create a thing in the US that is required to comply with KYC/AML and don't, and someone users it to launder, and you know they use it to launder, you are still guilty even if you couldn't stop them from using it.

Again, your crime is complete at the point you complete an overt act .

You have to withdraw from the conspiracy before then.

Here, the government is charging them for the website, mainly, not the smart contracts
On the flip side, I got 250kgs of honey from two urban hives with many other hives in neighbours gardens within 500m.
Yeah ok, but have the vegans done anything to help those species? Apart from not killing them I mean. Hunters, on the other hand, while yes, historically they may have technically sent some species extinct, they truly lead conservation efforts. Stupid hipster vegans need to pick up a gun and show that they actually care.
I'm sure that they made tidy profits for the executives involved, though.

The main reason why you need massive ammounts of fast VRAM in the first place is that the main limitation of AI is memory bandwidth. Can't simply distribute an algorithm that is already throughput limited by memory bandwidth and distribute it with awful latency and bandwidth and hope for any improvement.
Perhaps so, but if I'm not stating facts then what else do we attribute the subsequent trouble to as outlined in those links?

What's worse risk of being shot as the messenger or saying nothing and letting situations get more out of hand? I've always preferred the former but as I've witnessed here many prefer to remain silent.

If you don't believe the realtor is worth 6%, then by all means skip past them. There are plenty of fixed-fee sites that guide you through the process, provide legal form docs, and so on.

Clearly not everyone needs, or wants, a realtor. But presumably there are enough who do to keep them in business. There are enough who don't to keep the "do it yourself" market in business as well.

Choice is good. What is good for you might not be good for the next person, and vice versa.

You’re looking at it as if there’s some sort of technical bottleneck. Is not, it’s business. VRAM capacity is how they segregate data center/AI workloads versus gaming.

It will be this way until they get a competitor.
I haven’t pursued it seriously so I don’t know how much you can hurry things along, but most of the interview processes I’ve seen are weeks long. Google even warns you up front that it’ll probably take on the order of months. So it’s kind of tricky to get them to all line up like that.
I use this for many years now. I don't remember what I compared it to when choosing but I've been satisfied. It works great.
It isn't, but it's still much better than traditional banks.
Regardless of the degree or magnitude of true narcissism among Americans, it's true that we have been growing in individualism for quite a while. And the more individualistic we become, the less room there is for collectivism and concern for the common good, but rather, "what's in it for me?"

I suppose there may be a blurry dividing line between the two concepts, but it's certainly easier to uphold individualism as a virtue, and encourage others to cultivate it, rather than seeing it as a character fault and detrimental to national unity and morale.

Here in New Zealand we have too many bees, and they are most definitely dependant on humans. If you don't treat them, they'll die in a season from varroa. They might survive a little longer, but not much. There are wild colonies sin a nearby park, and all fail.

Sounds fishy. Probably their logic is that the current law adds anti-competitive barriers to entry that counterbalance any burdens to them.

It's not as strange as you might think.

What I tend to do is just play a bit dumb. Basically,

"To be honest, it's been a while so I'm really not sure ... I'm applying at a number of companies so I'm really seeing what the market has to offer."

If it's a recruiter, you can then ask them for advice on what offers they've seen recently, or what bands they're working with.

If a company gives you an exploding offer, it's a strong signal that the culture of that company isn't good, or that they can't afford to hire quality candidates (or both). In companies like this you can assume you'll probably also get poor raises.

In practice, if you get an exploding offer, unless you already think it's an extraordinary offer and love the potential opportunity, you can tell them that you won't be able to make a decision within that time. If the company is worth working for, they'll remove it. If they won't remove it, it's probably best not to take the offer.
Foe example there were once so many closed source “deep learning frameworks”, but these days only pytorch matters
So the charges say they charged money to run relayers.
Let's ignore that one.

In practice, they are being charged with conspiracy, and the conspiracy is mostly about running the website with the UI, not about the smart contracts (as i read it). they seem to have been careful not to try to charge them for creating some ethereum contracts.

Conspiracy does not require that they could have done something later to stop the conspiracy from completing.

The crime of conspiracy was complete when they committed an overt act (towards the overall criminal act). Once that was done, you lose.

Here, the overt act cited is paying for the website :)

In this case, the thing to do is to withdraw before an overt act.

If you successfully withdraw, you are no longer chargeable with conspiracy, even if the act later completes.

The model instruction for the defense of withdrawal looks like this:
"“(1) One of the defendants, (Defendant’s name), has raised the defense that he withdrew from the agreement before any overt act was committed. Withdrawal can be a defense to a conspiracy charge. But Defendant has the burden of proving to you that he did in fact withdraw.

(2) To prove this defense, Defendant must prove each and every one of the following things:

(A) First, that he completely withdrew from the agreement. A partial or temporary withdrawal is not enough.

(B) Second, that he took some affirmative step to renounce or defeat the purpose of the conspiracy. An affirmative step would include an act that is inconsistent with the purpose of the conspiracy and is communicated in a way that is reasonably likely to reach the other members. But some affirmative step is required. Just doing nothing, or just avoiding the other members of the group, would not be enough.

(C) Third, that he withdrew before any member of the group committed one of the overt acts described in the indictment. Once an overt act is committed, the crime of conspiracy is complete. And any withdrawal after that point is no defense to the conspiracy charge.

(3) If Defendant proves these three factors by a preponderance of the evidence, then you must find him not guilty. Preponderance of the evidence is defined as “more likely than not.” In other words, the defendant must convince you that the three factors are more likely true than not true."

So, for example, for the charge related to running the website, "stop paying for website, tell others this is not okay, cut off all support and help you can" seems likely have been enough to withdraw here, even if you couldn't stop others from using it because it's immutable.
You've got too much wrong in that comment for me to answer to all of them, but you don't sound like you know much about the banking world.

If they're charging fees, it's because it costs them something to offer these services. If they had their way, they just wouldn't offer services to poor people since it's more trouble than its worth. Neobanks like Chime are tackling that issue with pretty good success, but they're shifting the costs from consumer to merchant.

Nothing is perfect, but it's pretty darn good for most.
3% of a big number is... still pretty big. It's easily going to be five figures in most markets.
It has to do with GANs as the added complexity makes the model more difficult to debug, the other day a friend of mine had a problem with the normalization layers of his diffusion model, it was fixed almost immediately, if something goes wrong you have less to worry about.

Also no I don't take "he is gwern" as an argument ahah
You wouldn't but the issue is that you wouldn't be using the maintained version (which is currently the BSL version). If they eventually went out of business instead, the community could at least attempt to pick up the torch and even if development slowly petered out, you'd have a decent runway during which you could migrate to something else.

With them changing to BSL, all updates to the MPL version stopped immediately when the change was announced. Your runway is now exactly up to the point where a critical vulnerability is discovered and puts your project and your clients at risk. Or you tread into uncertain legal territory and hope that they don't try to smite you while you figure out what to use next.
Certainly yes, different cultures have different norms.

As a complete aside, forced marriages are not the same as arranged marriages. In many cultures arranged marriages (which seem completely bonkers to someone grown up in a western mindset) are both common, work well, and often good.

Clearly neither arranged marriages, nor "choice marriages", are guaranteed. The divorce rate in the west bears this out. Both work well, both work badly.

Again arranged is not the same as forced - clearly forced marriages are not something I consider a good thing.
Maybe it's because we don't actually want the human race to go one more generation before dying out. :-)
I agree it’s gross, but I’m not sure how to articulate it. It’s making real something people have done in their minds-that is imagine people with no clothes on. These pictures aren’t the actual subject naked. There’s nothing being discovered or disclosed. It’s a pure fiction. But it still bothers me.
Mason bees lay nest in holes. Hotels are bundle of tubes mounted on wall. It is supposed to be important get goods ones, which seem to have wood trays instead of tubes, but I don't have a source on those. Some people bring the full hotels inside for winter but I get mild winters and figure bees know what they are doing. Then the bees emerge in the spring and lay eggs for winter. The tubes need to be cleaned or replaced, but not sure when.

Thanks for reminding me, I've been meaning to put up a mason bee hotel. I hope not too late.

Most other native bees are ground nesting. Leaving bare earth or brush piles can help.
About 20 years ago would be a good location in the bay area.

Yeah their high VRAM cards (80gb h100) cost $40k.

That's their price differentiator. It's the reason for their profits. nVidia is now <20% gaming in terms of revenue and that gaming revenue has much tighter margins than the 80% datacenter/professional market revenue which is almost all profit sine 80gb ram doesn't cost $40k more.

So yes it'd be nice if nVidia made it so there was no reason for their $40k AI cards to exist. But they aren't going to do that.

SPACs make it easier to get the next round of money for your Ponzi with less due diligence needed (where Ponzi is used in the loose sense of "there's no long term real business model, just sell it off to the suckers before it blows up").

So, sure, more accurate to say "SPACs make passing laughable-business-plan Ponzi schemes off as real businesses and cashing out to public investors" than "SPACs are ponzis directly" but... I'm not sure this hair needs splitting.
Not everything that is a bad investment is a Ponzi scheme.
It's still valuable info. Like let's say you actually made it thorough all the rounds at Google per your example, and are 'stuck' in hiring committee. That's a huge signal to you that you are in striking distance of the level you interviewed for, even if you don't ultimately make it this time.

That means you can for example use levels.fyi number for that level at Google as 'something that applies to me'
Why does it need to say in the article when it's plainly known?
SPACs really are hacky legal loophole right?

It's a common perspective. My personal experience (working in the defense sector) is that these kinds of endeavors end up tieing up a lot of very smart doing vanity projects that in effect don't "generate value" for society. All the people involved wouldn't just be sitting on their hands if the moon project didn't exist. But I guess it could be worse.. they could be working on moving money around or pushing ads on to people

What you call "lizard brain" is actually normal human physiology and psychology. Expecting adult humans to behave as sexless victorian vulcans, cool creatures of pure rationality and suppressed emotion, is asking quite a lot. People can put on this kind of act for a time, but when the farce slips you shouldn't be surprised.

For better or worse, people on these ships are going to have sex (even when it's just men.. don't tell me you've never heard about sailors.)
> This is a textbook situation that would be perfect for a competitor to come in and undercut.

They already are undercutting.

Some business that are really into hyper-scaling are already pouring man-hours into making those "undercut" alternative products work. Specifically because sometimes you can't affort Nvidia at that scale. Or they have a large enough scale that they can make it work with suboptimal tech.

It's just that for most business the man-hours required to make "undercut" products work still aren't cheap enough to win in cost-benefit.

You sound very confused. That’s economics 101 just about everywhere. The friction is generally termed “barriers to entry” if that helps reorient you.
This is really cool stuff.

I just wanted to mention that not only does it have subsystems like sftp but you can make up your own subsystem (i use parameko!) to so just about whatever you want. Cool stuff like exposing the remote host's sound or random devices over ssh, cool BBS displays/apps or for the sneaky: command and control protocol between your malware/implant that proxies normal ssh for normal ssh clients as usual.
Well this is shocking

Armchair diagnosing assholes in your life as suffering from discrete psychological conditions is not something society forces you to do. It's something you choose to do, and can choose not to do.

If you don't know somebody well enough to form a complex opinion on what that person's personality is, you certainly don't know enough to diagnose them with any sort of personality disorder. And if you do know somebody that well, then you don't have to employ such "information space and processing" saving measures, because you already have an understanding of that person. You already did that work.
SPACs may not always be ponzi schemes, but plenty are of dubious, unvetted businesses and for the principle purpose of paying returns to prior investors.
Actually I'm doing something related to this. So considering e2ee by definition doesn't require the messenger/middleman to co-operate, you can turn any communication medium into an end to end encrypted one. So I made a fully offline, client-side browser extension (it can also be a copy paste console snippet) that hooks into the send button of a POC malicious chat app and performs a key exchange for you. Then it sets up hooks to automatically encrypt messages before sending it, and also decrypt messages you receive.

So visually it looks just like you're chatting normally, but the server gets only encrypted messages.

Along with the sibling comment, there are also protocol downgrade attacks analogous to what HSTS prevents in HTTP/S. IIRC these require active jamming, but if you're .gov who cares. This is a reason why security-conscious OSes like Graphene allow explicitly disabling older protocols.
