my dude, my paycheck is $10k a month, and I still clip coupons. Why? Because something I learned from poker. Winning is as simple as never losing money you don't have to lose.

SBF may have been "worth billions," but he sure didn't have enough escape cash on hand when he needed it.

Your division, project managers, VPs may throw around 9-figures worth of investment capital on loss leaders, party on the Riviera and give everyone Christmas bonuses, but all that means squat to someone like SBF once he's under indictment.

A cold hard $10 million in pocket, off the books, earned illegally, that can't be tracked back is worth a lot more than controlling a billion dollar budget or even getting a $100 million paycheck.

The very fact that it's considered a rounding error would work to the benefit of whoever had set up the scam. The real scam is setting up a corporation where you can pass off a rounding error large enough to let you escape federal custody, and that's where he fell short.

I'm pointing out why it would have been a worthwhile scam for him from my own experience of launching the first serious Bitcoin casino and coming to the rational, purely cost-based determination that there was no way to make enough money from opening it to Americans to let me avoid the likely consequences of that if the feds decided to treat Bitcoin as currency and go for me, which I now know they would have. I determined I could probably pull $10M in a year, but it wouldn't be nearly enough. I'd need to have at least $50M to have a chance. But this is the thought process you can probably project upon SBF running a flash crash, not the "too small to worry about" idea. $10M of misplaced money is right in the ballpark for someone a little stupid who's considering running for the islands.
What action would you propose in that circumstance that would be more effective?

Nothing would be effective. The singularity would have already occurred. No amount of legal and market manipulation would likely be effective at preventing despots and dictators from using AI to achieve world domination.

Fortunately for the world, the idea that a binary logic playback device (aka a computer as we know it) is capable of this is pure fantasy without any basis in fact.

I.e. more than two frames between input and output. That is quite a lot, and AFAIK a large regression.
While some industries may create jobs initially, they often do so at the expense of exploiting vulnerable populations and perpetuating systemic poverty and inequality. Take planned obsolescence, for example. While products might be cheaper upfront, they break down quickly, costing consumers more in the long run and wasting resources.

Fossil fuels and sweatshops might offer employment, but they frequently exploit workers and contribute to ongoing poverty. Additionally, the tobacco industry and arms manufacturing has caused countless deaths and health issues.

None of those examples is a net positive to society. But you'll choose not to see that, I'm sure.

This makes sense if you consider the size of the product engineering team vs the amount of customers out there. For every engineer there's probably hundreds or thousands of customers. If they had to engage immediately with every support case, there would be zero progress on any other job.

The problem actually comes from the fact that big tech is becoming increasingly cheap on creating good support organizations. Experienced support engineers are fired and replaced with outsourced low-cost inexperienced personnel. In most cases, issues can be resolved or worked around with the help of a support engineer with access to some extra knobs. When those engineers are removed and are replaced with people who act like a pipe for cat to send the customer's stdout to product engineers, you get what you describe.

California's High Speed Rail project does not need political activism to fail, it's doing a good job of it on its own, thanks to America's stunning inability to build non-military infrastructure projects on anything like a reasonable time frame and budget when European peers manage to do so for 1/10 the price.

I think a lot of the sentiment behind this was that the module system and bundlers didn't really support tree shaking so bringing in a big library with a lot of utility functions brought in a ton of code you didn't need.

> Yeah, that’s the magic of capitalism. You make society more efficient and get paid for that.

you get paid for giving people what they want, not necessarily making society more efficient. It's more profitable to sell a car to everyone than it is to sell them bicycles, even if the latter is "more efficient" in terms of space, mineral and fossil fuel resource usage, pollution, health of users...

and God forbid you just tell people to walk.

I used to work at H&M - getting low quality disposable clothing from Bangladesh isn't "more efficient" then buying a sewing machine and making your own clothing, at least not if you consider transport or environmental costs. But people are lazy, and they're easily bored, and they like "new" looking things, so H&M keeps on selling clothes.

I guess basically what I'm getting at is tragedy of the commons. You let people mindlessly pursue their short term interests, it doesn't necessarily lead to efficient behavior at the aggregate level.

Arguably what has made society more efficient, at least for automobiles, has not been "capitalism", but government regulation - safety, environmental, and cutting down on drunk driving. If you consider "dying en route" to be "inefficient", then you'd agree that while just building nicer looking cars with bigger tailfins to please the market didn't really do much to reduce this inefficiency, government mandating bumpers and seatbelts and airbags did.

I see comments like this on HN frequently and I wonder what is going on with BigTech. I guess I wouldn't make it. Support is fun. You're solving mysteries and (hopefully) fixing them within the constraints of the design.
This is not always possible. I don't even mind the big corps being in this position - they can pay for people who will support their old version if needed. But there will be people with consumer devices left on versions released with their weird SoC which could potentially get at least some updates through the LTS channels. (Many are not even targeting LTS, but that's a separate issue) I'm really curious how this will play out considering the EU's appetite for regulation around long term support for consumer electronics.

Study the Microsoft and Firefox projects to see why it turns out that way.

The basic thing I am saying is that if you call it a web browser and use the same core protocols etc., you have a practically infinite (for an individual) set of requirements to implement and will never be truly compatible.

What ideas like Tersenet and systems like Gemini propose is similar to what you say, except even simpler. HTML and ECMAScript are quite complex and have a lot of challenging expectations as far as performance and flexibility.

The idea is to try to break things off in a clean way that is feasible to implement without having to worry about a fuzzy and ever-expanding definition of what you have to support.

> still a huge gap between my skills and what is needed for real work

That's kind of inevitable, you've passed your driving test but that doesn't mean you're ready to compete in Formula One race.

> Note even that, you cannot even follow proofs of real theorems

This may not be relevant to your experience or it may, but decades ago I did a tool-guided transformation of a very simple specification into a very simple program. This was done as a study for teaching people. I carefully explained every step as best I could, but the interesting thing was as my memory of doing it faded, the explanations became mainly useless – why I did a particular transformational step became lost, and my prior written explanations just didn't help. It's not like commenting code!

Now, maybe with extra experience I could do better these days, but quite possibly not. There is a certain kind of 'zone' you go into which has no parallel with programming. It may be that theorem proving at that level may only be something you can do, and do with practice, but can't follow afterwards; a state of mind. I don't know. FYI anyway.
I say ‘cellotape’ for any old tape, I say ‘cellophane’ for whatever is in the drawer. I say ‘biro’ for pens and say ‘twink’ for that white stuff.

I don’t think it really matters as long as meaning is there.

Though ‘Google’ is starting to mean ‘ad infested trash’, so maybe the word will lose favour.
Thermodynamics is my go-to example here.

Steam engines came first, and thermodynamics was partially invented to study them. Later on, thermodynamics helped make better steam engines.
It can use a SQL DB as a key value store, but you don't get any of the advantages of using an RDBMS when you do that. The tables are literally two columns: key+value. It's more a mode for if that's all you have available for whatever reason.
having a Netdata agent taking your machine's CPU to 99% shouldn't happen, not sure when was the list time you tried it but a lot of recent improvements have been done on the Netdata Agent

also, with Netdata you can achieve the same architecture design using a Netdata Parent that could be your "control node" and to where you stream the metrics of the nodes you want to keep running with as less load as possible - you can even offload the health engine and the machine learning

> Silence and carry on is what false accusations deserve.

Only if there is a robust justice system which will protect you from the effects of false accusation. International law and a lot of countries not as developed as the west have no such systems.

It seems patently impossible. I wonder if this stems from a confusion about the nature of consciouness implied in Descartes' cognito, which equates self with thinking, which includes calculating (computing).

Unless your government intervenes and regulates the market into a monopoly of incumbents, of course.

> Corporations are authoritarian, tyrannical institutions

Corporations are at the mercy of their consumers and investors. They get toppled every day. Remember Nokia? Motorola? IBM? Zoom? Heck even Intel lately?
Arguably Google is the company that triggered that paradigm shift by publicly sharing (some of) their work on AI like the transformer/attention paper. So if anything they were ahead of the curve in terms of research. They're also extremely well positioned in terms of training data, infrastructure capabilities, hardware (TPUs), they had the first popular machine learning library (TensorFlow), etc.

Lately you could argue they're being overtaken by their competitors, especially in terms of productization. But they still hold pretty cards IMO.
This wasn't that unusual though? The PS2 contains the PS1's CPU and uses it for I/O when it isn't being used for backwards compatibility with PS1 games. The PS3 contained the CPU/GPU of the PS2 in early versions for PS2 BC (https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/PS2_Compatibility). It's only with later PS3 iterations that the PS2 hardware was removed in favour of software emulation for BC.

The Wii U isn't just a faster Wii. It specifically contains 2 GPUs, the Wii U GPU and the Wii GPU. CPU is bigger and better but same architecture.

The Wii however was almost just a faster GameCube. CPU literally just clocked higher and a bit of a better GPU. Because the idea was for it to be super cheap to produce.

Sure there is. AWS has a vested interest in the value of IPv4 going down as much as possible.

Owning IPv4 addresses is a requirement of AWS’s core business. Unless people stop using IPv4, then AWS cannot sell those addresses. There is no incentive for the addresses to increase in value.

Further, if people continue to use IPv4, then AWS has to continue to acquire even more IPv4, and AWS wants the price of those to go down so that acquiring them is cheaper (or wants people to stop using IPv4 so that they can stop spending money on them altogether).
> but z e r o people were just sitting around and woke up a) in the public eye … who were maligned needlessly

Demonstrably false. There are a significant number of individual cases I could mention off the top of my head. If you want a whole bag of them to look at in one go, read up on the NOTW “name and shame” campaign which resulted in numerous entirely spurious accusations, and actual vigilante attacks as well as legal investigations. The court of public option can be a concern for all.

> b) were completely and entirely good people

On a slightly more facetious note: if anyone claims to be absolutely 100% totally good, someone somewhere will disagree :)

There is no objective definition of good that all will agree on, and even if there are none of us are perfect our entire lives.

At least with sports betting skill can make money. Just betting on the first place team to win over the last place team for example, it won't always win, but typically will. Of course bookies know this and so the payoff isn't enough to make a living on (if you can figure out the exception and bet only on the last place teams that win you can live well). Statistics are generally well studied in sports, but if you study how a team is coached you can find cases where they have a better than statistical chance to win a game they are expected to lose. Most people betting sports either always bet for their team, or bet on statistics, so if you can exploit something else.

I would be unsure what works with Win 10 or 11 and newer hardware, but most probably bootable solutions are out there which are fine tuned towards Win 10 or 11. Ultimate Boot CD and Hiren's Rescue CD could have some tools that will test hard drives and cables. For rootkits there were some bootable virus checking rescue CDs which worked well, but the last time I used such tools was on someone's Win 7 system.
As I mentioned a couple days ago [1], this problem will get much worse in the EU with the upcoming CRA. Either the only software vendors left will be big ones with the capacity and leverage to counter these CVEs, or companies will turn to obscure, bug-ridden software which have no CVEs because no one bothers to research them.

Flux is noisy yes. But promql isn’t exactly the pinnacle of query languages either. Simple stuff is simple, but once you start having more complex queries like sum by/without, it makes absolutely no sense where the parenthesis go and you can place some of the operators on either side of the inner expression.

I sent a response, but - the short of it is that Cloudflare + Render's proxy + lack of distributed backends was adding hundreds of seconds of latency. We use a separate asset CDN and rate limiting, and wanted to turn off Cloudflare - but couldn't on Render.

Also, the custom domain pricing on Render is fairly high - probably due to the Cloudflare custom domain licenses.
IIRC, in the early days Safari would pass off any image type to the OS, but after some TIFF vulnerability they whitelisted it to supported "web" formats.

We could test this. Take a few hundred search queries, strip the pages that display Google ads, and see if the remainder of the search result is better or worse.

We'd need to get some humans in to rank the results, but that's not a big problem. "How well does this web page answer this query, on a scale of 1-10?"

With a collection of ranked pages, we can answer other questions as well. I'd be interested in running the same test but for google analytics, not google ads, as I think there might be a misaligned incentive there too.

It's worth bearing in mind that the stackoverflow clones may actually answer the query just as well as the original site - that is, it might be our definition of "a good result" that's out of whack (because we have an unnecessary bias towards the original source). I doubt this, but again it's something that's testable.
