Yeah sure, I've had my pain days. :) I'm still up overall, fwiw.

I lost 15 ETH writing a faulty script to trade automatically on EtherDelta, when that was still a thing. Their UI was (intentionally?) poor and didn't have client-side checks to ensure people weren't fat fingering their trades. It also didn't have an automatic market maker. So, if someone typo'ed an order, the typo'd order would sit on the books as there wasn't a process to automatically match overlapping bid/asks. As a user, this meant you would sometimes see free money literally sitting there waiting to be clicked and taken.

So I thought I'd automate the process and trade for the typo automatically. This didn't work out so well. First, it turns out there were other bots running already. Since it was all on-chain, the gas price you bid determines your transactions in-block priority. So, all the bots were trapped in a game theory dilemma. If there was a $10,000 typo, and all you need to do is submit "Yes", then how much should you pay to try and beat others to saying yes? Well, if you're the only participant, then you pay $0. If you're one of 2 participants then you pay $5,000. If you're one of 3 then $3,333.33, etc. The issue? You don't know how many other bots are out there.

This situation has weird outcomes. There was actually free $10k+ trades sitting there to be taken. They were actually being taken, but those taking were never the ones profiting. Instead, it was the ETH miners receiving huge priority tips that were making out like bandits... but if all the unprofitable bots ever gave up then, suddenly, there would be free money once again.

Anyway. The EtherDelta service was comprised of two wallets. One was within their smart contract and one was external. You place bids with money that you moved inside their smart contract, but you pay your bid's gas with money you kept outside their smart contract. I ran my code for a while, thought it seemed OK enough to run overnight, and, just before bed, decided that "to be safe" I would move most of my money from in-contract to out-of-contract. This would make it so that I didn't wake up to a ton of lost money because my bot wouldn't have a ton of money to trade with.

Unfortunately, there was an edge case in my code that would cause the bot to try and place a bid and fail in a way that burned gas. That edge case came up while I was sleeping and my bot burned through all my gas. This wouldn't have been an issue if I had left my money where it was originally, but, because I moved it all to the wallet which was used to pay for gas, I ended up burning a bunch of ETH in gas overnight.

> You can't measure any productivity that has any cognitive component

Understanding and measuring productivity can be valuable to a business. Sure they can't measure productivity for some roles as precisely, simply, and accurately as say counting the number of jelly beans in a jar.

But that doesn't mean productivity can't be measured in a way that is useful to the business. There's just tradeoffs involved.
It's not and everyone knows this. Nevertheless, you asked that question. It puts people in an awkward position, intentionally. Either be ok with swearing and be clear about that, or don't ask these questions designed to put people on the spot. That's neither kind nor professional.
That's just pointless whataboutism. Workers being wage dumped on by cheaper more desperate workforce that puts downward pressure on the labor market reducing their power to negociate higher wages, and people choosing to live on the dole because they're fuckups at life, are two different orthogonal issues that are unrelated.

Imagine you graduate form university and apply for jobs where your employer receives 1 resume for every position open. What happens with your bargaining power when your employer can now hire from anywhere in the world without any visa barriers and now receives 200 resumes for the same position?
>One should pay attention to the following symptoms: tingling/burning sensations especially in limbs, complexities with swallowing (dysphagia), chronic fatigue, shortness of breath with >= 96% SpO2, uncontrolled muscle cramps, panic attacks, agoraphobia, persistent tinnitus, appearance of dark spots in the field of vision, problems with regulation of body temperature (persistent hypo- or hyperthermia), persistent distortion/loss of smell/taste.

With the exception of loss of smell and taste, these are all also associated with stress physiology. The exact mechanisms are unclear, but lifelong anxiety sufferers will be familiar with many of these. I've personally experienced all of these since I was a young teenager/child. Well before COVID was around.

I don't want to minimize long COVID, because it is very real. But we should be careful about encouraging people with generalized anxiety symptoms to over-identify as long COVID.
Or just use tightly woven wool...
I do not think you're incorrect, but wouldn't this incentivize confidently guessing (making stuff up) if it's less favorable to publicly admit you don't know something? Since you can use the executive excuse of simply being misinformed. Edit: meanwhile, this was discussed in a sibling comment.
Do you have any resources for the planning/architecting phase of developing a unified API like this?

I work in a similar space, but for physical hardware, and one challenge we've frequently encountered is the somewhat massive variety of how our vendors handle certain tasks behaviorally within their platform.

Once the West percieves itself to be removed from its existential battle with the East, this clean energy hand waving will be put squarely in the rear view. For better or worse. Though, any continued propaganda on the matter is mostly harmless to beneficial for undemocratic governance (forced policy with desired downstream effects on restricting the population). And so that may continue.

To test this logic, ask yourself if the West would adopt clean energy even if it meant losing to the East. The answer is obviously no. And it hasn't. And it won't. In fact, energy use will be maximized, by any means, to cement as much of a permanent advantage as can be gained. Now, and in the future once we are no longer being threatened by Eastern energy supplies.

Yep finding opportunities to take advantage of changes in technology to solve a problem 10x better is part of ideation.

This is the right attitude but I would ask - why limit yourself to a single problem?

I have to ask, do you trust Hetzner?

Not the person you are asking but I trust all legit vendors to follow most of the rules most of the time. All vendors must comply with lawful orders or risk all their equipment being seized. There have been a number of cases were vendors tried to ignore court orders but the most notable one I recall is Lavabit. [1] That predictably ended poorly for them. We won't hear the details of this case until the investigations are tied off.

At best one could use Monero to rent space from one of the shady resellers sometimes referred to as bullet proof hosting but those do not last long and the ones that do last are honeypots. Even then people would have to create their own TLD's, CA's and use /etc/hosts which won't happen due to friction and a lack of discipline. Following that would be private VPN meshes and ephemeral nodes that hide the final hops but those only require a small number of weak links or people to fail as they have in the past.

Hey I just wanna say that I'm really glad that you personally haven't had to go through the hell of cardiovascular/heart damage from this, but you also shouldn't use your anecdote to undermine others' extreme sickness. You are ignorant to experiences not your own.
To be fair this was the case all the way until world war 2 which was ended on the Japanese side by nuclear weapons. Since the age of nuclear, it is no longer possible to have minor conflicts between super powers, only mutually assured destruction.

Meanwhile Russia can't generate domestic demand. They got their GDP growth from their war industry.
What I expect is that if he doesn't know, then he says so and says he will get the correct answer to the question quickly. I also expect, post-hearing (and soon thereafter, not four years later if ever), that google "update" the record as an addendum that pichai was not correct in his testimony.
These labels are more cultural than strictly geographic. Western Romania could indeed be considered as Central Europe, as “Central Europe” has generally meant “associated with the Austro-Hungarian Empire.” The border between the Russian and AH empires is a good line for dividing Eastern and Central Europe IMO.
McKinsey's whole business model seems to be hiring smart inexperienced people to go consult with experienced people who know a lot more then they do so I'm not surprised that they yet again got something wrong.
its shocking how the little details can have big effects.

Start getting the probes designed now.
You can definitely do that now for images as long as people can wait two seconds. But also normally MUDs have most locations already described so they could be pre-generated.

The thing about it is that SDXL understands intent much better so to get the really good visuals you would need to wait for that or DALL-E 3 which isn't quite as fast as the really fast diffusion models.

But still within 10 seconds or so I think you can do that for many things. So I am pretty sure that will be a thing.

I am working on something combining something like a simplistic game engine in an LLM agent and planning to include an action for generating an image.

Actually I think AI Dungeon already demoed something like that for their upcoming release.
1. ok, so the word 'kinda' is not an essential part of the doctrine, got it.

2. 'profound and incomprehensible suffering' - what is Jesus supposed to have suffered which is different from many other humans who have been betrayed, tortured and killed? Whatever you think it is, it appears to be extra-biblical. The Gethsemane quote is just "my soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even unto death". Allowing for loss in translation this is an expression of suffering well within human experience.

3. 'the vast majority do beleive that there are effects for everyone, regardless of belief in this life or the next' Sorry, no. The vast majority of modern Christians belong to churches for which 'sola fide' is not just an essential part of their theology, but the foundation of their existence.

If you're not wearing appropriate protection then bees can kill you easy.

De minimis you need a) a smoker, b) a veil for your face, head, and neck, c) a long sleeve shirt and long pants both made of fabric they can't easily sting through, and d) preferably tall boots with the pants legs cinched over them so they can't sting your ankles. You need gloves too if you don't know what you're doing. That's if you're beekeeping, but if you're not and you happen upon a beehive you may be in serious trouble.

Bees fly faster than you can run. They fly farther than you can run when panicking from tens of stings. When they give chase they're committed to dying for the colony, so they will sting. So don't approach beehives if you're not prepped for it. Bees will warn you before they attack, unless they're already attacking someone else, in which case they'll just attack you without warning.

> Namely the failure to anticipate the shift to electric vehicles

I'm a _little_ confused by this narrative. VW Group is the largest seller of electric vehicles to the EU market. BMW is also pretty big. I mean, could German manufacturers be _more_ dominant? Perhaps, but it's certainly not a Toyota type case.

(I actually wonder how much of this is driven purely by the extreme... invisibleness of the eGolf and eUp; it was very difficult to tell that they weren't Golfs/Ups. Some people may think that the i3/4/5 are VW's first electric cars.)
I'm not sure to what extent that was really true before, but it definitely became false in 2023: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/20/tech/google-layoffs-emplo... . And it seems as if the cause was the sudden vibe shift to "kick the lazy bums" in the tech-chief locker room—apparently sparked by Musk's Twitter firings, of all things, as if that looked like a smart model to emulate.
I think they were talking about people walking or cycling.

2. Yes, you made a mistake. Use the "Rake Method" many of us have preached for a decade. No guessing needed, profit taking can even be automated. It's all very simple.

3. Yes, a great buying opportunity.

4. Yes, I bought a lot around $150's. Using the rake method you can't go wrong. If it's more cash than I need I buy gold. Easy. Angin, the research is already done, and we have a solution to your issues, the rake method.
I'm vaccinated and all.

However, it's impossible to prove that Covid is more harmful than the vaccine in every particular cohort of a population.

Anti vaxxers perceive themselves to belong to a cohort that are less likely to be harmed by the illness, because of youth, behaviour, or physical fitness or luck or religion or whatever.

On the other hand, they have plenty of evidence that people belonging to the same cohort have been adversely affected by the vaccine, therefore it's entirely logical from their point of view to not get vaccinated.
Every ones story is the same, buy in at the hype then sell when the price craters or maybe you are smart and decide to hoddl until the price has been hyped up but by then you lost your wallet / password oops.

Since it is a general-purpose data manager, it doesn't solve a very specific problem like most apps do. It is similar to file systems, databases, or NoSQL solutions. You can use their data manipulation and analysis features to perform a wide variety of business use cases.

The demo videos on https://youtube.com/@didgetsdemos will show you some of the things it will do and just how fast it will do them, even with large data sets.

This is mostly filler, with the news at the end; the TL;DR is that they may be laying off most of management, engineering and sales; abandoning the core licensing business and becoming an SoC shop like MediaTek.

There really can't be any penalty for being wrong. That is far too chilling for testimony. Right?

There can be clarifications and follow up questions. Can call someone back in to testify again, if need be. Or work with more expert witnesses.

This could be a major disruption to the open hardware movement in general. LLVM's hardware incubator, CIRCT [1], is hugely driven by SiFive people. Chris Lattner is their President of Platform Engineering.

CIRCT is the first interesting thing to happen in the EDA space in decades and I would hate to see it nipped in the bud because of this movement in its chief corporate steward.

No alt attributes or does GPT miss those?
Tried Browse with Bing a few times, but unlike the normal conversations with Bing, the results from Browse with Bing other than being more up-to-date presumably, gave seemingly very generic answers based on if I had simply searched rather than using all it's power like normal and simply including the latest up-to-date data and took a while to run. So it's a start and hopefully that feature will improve as it enters this new stage.

On the flip-side, we know we're easily fooled and that the scientific method is a barely sufficient set of tools to be fooled a lot less.

There was a sea of preprints pointing in different directions, and it was difficult to navigate and know whom to believe.

Someone believing something strongly 3 years ago based on a few preprints is hardly vindicated for having great process when published research comes out validating that view now.

IMO the only approach is to roll with the punches and to go "ehhhhh, mayyyybe." (And of course use the best weight of information we have now).
ChatGPT seems to be able to parse images pretty well now. I wonder why they don't simply feed it a screencap of the rendered page instead of the html.

ARM's case is that a uarch is necessarily tied to its ISA and that their license isn't transferrable because the contract plainly says so.

If Qualcomm can show up and say "here's our uarch running a different ISA", it disproves that point and at most leaves dispute about some patents where Qualcomm can probably get a quick settlement for far less than the royalties would cost them.

The whole point of Znew is to transform RISC-V into something so similar to ARM64 that they can swap out the decoder and be good to go.
Everyone I knew on Twitter moved to Mastodon, Bluesky, or Cohost. Some of them still post sporadically, but it's clear they want people to move over by the URL that's replaced/joined most of their display names.
I've been typing "clear" for so long that it would take longer for me to think to override my muscle memory and use ctrl-l instead, and the time saved isn't enough to bother retraining myself on this.

There are two separate, orthogonal channels of discussion that I think people are poking at.

1. WASM as a browser tech for delivering rich applications inside the browser. On this one I will shrug. I understand the motivation. I don't particularly like it, because my vision of the "web" is not that, but it's a lost battle and I don't have a horse in this race. It's effectively the resurrection of Java applets, but done better, and more earnestly. It's going to solve the kinds of problems you're talking about, I guess, but introduce new ones (even more inconsistency of UX, accessibility features, performance issues, etc.)

2. WASM as a general / universal runtime for server side work. On this, I see a lot of hype, thin substance, a lot of smoke but no fire, and I'm quite skeptical. It looks to me like classic "Have a Hammer, Going to Go find Nails" syndrome. I was initially enthused about this aspect of WASM but I had a job employed working with WASM for a bit and I found a lot to be skeptical about. And while likely will be using WASM in some fashion similar to this for a project I have, I am also not convinced that WASM itself makes a lot of sense as some sort of generic answer for containerization, and looks to me like duplication of effort, claims of novelty where there is none, unhealthy cycles in the tech industry, etc.

Anyways, I think the person you're replying to, and myself, are primarily talking about #2 -- as was the original article
