Kraken has been operating under the money transmitter licensing scheme for a decade, and like banks, money transmitters don't have any legal requirement to segregate customer funds—although they do have the responsibility to maintain sufficient cash balances or liquid investments to cover all of what they owe to customers.

I think you meant to say here and unlike banks, because banks absolutely do not need to have sufficient funds to cover all customer's savings.

Unless.. are things different in the US? It's been a decade since I've read the Bank Act (Canadian), and when I did, only 5% of customer's account holdings were required to be held in tangible assets (gold, cash, etc), and inspected yearly by the Minister of Finance.

And I believe even that requirement has been dropped.
Because you want your system installer or LiveUSBs to work without running GPU in VGA mode at 640×480. Also you get this 5% performance when GPU is clocked at 10% power draw.
Some countries have their equivalent of GDPR applied to the government entities as well. Turkey and India are such examples.
I agree they can't reason, but you shouldn't be so quick to be dismissive, you need to give your definition of reasoning and you should be able to back it up with papers. Because part of the reason some commenters on HN reflect what you're smearing the whole community with is that... they don't actually have a definition of what reasoning is, or have a different one.

There have been some good ones on this topic that have come over HN, and I do think they show that LLMs don't reason -- but they certainly give the appearance of doing so with the right prompts. But the good papers are combined with a formal definition of what "reasoning" is.

The typical counter argument is usually that "how do we know the human brain isn't like this, too", or "there's lots of humans who also don't reason" etc. Which I think is a bad faith argument.
If the text completion algorithm is sufficiently advanced enough then we wouldn't be able to tell it's not AGI, especially if it has access to state-of-the-art research and can modify its own code/weights. I don't think we are there yet but it's plausible to an extent.
I'm not so sure it would result in less waste. Apple will replace the batteries cheaply and recycle them; how many user-replaced batteries will go in the trash? How many extra batteries will people buy and never use, or replace their batteries before they actually need to?
Most likely you get towed to the nearest charger on a flat-bed truck. But portable chargers (with batteries or diesel generators) on the back of trucks or vans also exist.

Some EVs also support power output (V2x) from their charge ports, allowing you to charge up one vehicle from another.

Not sure this is that the parent meant, but with Tesla’s price drops, Hertz said they had to depreciate them faster. [1]

Are you aware that there is no such thing as “journalistic malpractice”? And that any attempt to create such a thing to strip first amendment rights and allow retaliation by the government is a doomsday scenario for free press?
I wish I did but I haven't found one yet. I'm at my desk a lot, and that's usually when I charge it. I mostly use an old, low-current charger (originally for a bluetooth headset) so it charges slowly, about 5% per hour.
obviously the situation is stupid, but what could really be dug up in diligence? The pool of people who could run this company all have highly public track records and reputations, they are well known to the hiring team and certainly to the hiring teams network. Again, I have to imagine they had someone in place to take the role that dropped out, maybe Murati or Ilya first? Once internal candidates fell through, especially if the leadership team departs, you need someone capable of running a cutting edge tech company which basically means, you need to poach another CEO, who is likely highly capable, with tons of options who is willing to get dropped into the least winnable situation with absolutely no team. This isn't a mid-level product manager role that the company needs to fill, implying that it is remotely similar is not true AND implying that this is a regular thing that boards do over a weekend is also obviously not true. This is an insane situation and has very limited parallels, this whole thing will be our generations version of Barbarians at the Gates KKR.
It's more "how" than "who" (although "who" also matters)

If the board talked to Altman and said, "hey this is the wrong direction" or "it's moving too fast." Then if they'd given him a chance to adjust. And only if they were unable to agree after a reasonable time, then they crafted a plan to responsibly change leadership after a transition period, that'd probably be fine.

But instead they just bounced him randomly and called him a liar publicly without any thought on who would step in. Who would want to work for them?
As the grid goes renewable the “controllable loads” will be more important. Dryers, EV charging, electric hot water heating and heat pumps can all be connected to optimize renewables minimizing the use of expensive batteries.

But why would Ilya publicly say he regrets his decision and wants Sam to come back. You think his existential worries are less important than being liked by his coworkers??
pricing like that only lasts as long as the patent, the argument being that without the opportunity for that pricing, the research for the drug would not be worthwhile in the first place.

I'm not arguing this is true, but I wouldn't accept a counterargument based on "but it's people, it's people, think of the children"
Contrarian view. Don't bother with that, just use a GPT (ideally 4) to "write a neural network to do <x> where the input is <y> and explain your reasoning". You'll learn way more from doing this and actually get a lot further than "starting from scratch".
Obviously, a first class local virtual machine is superior in most ways, but Apple in particular is way too stubborn about blocking this.

I think a secure VM would be a really cool choice for remote work. If it could be optionally locked down by the host operating system so you couldn't get at the disk, then BYOD would be a lot simpler.
>Yes, we want you to take a motorcycle up against a tank.

Fast forward to today. In a video from Gaza a Hamas fighter runs toward Merkava and manually puts a blast-fragmentation warhead onto its armor (not for the lack of weapons as he shoots a tandem warhead from an RPG half a minute later). I have a hypothesis what is going on in that video - the Trophy active defense system would shoot down an incoming warhead, yet it wouldn't react to a person running toward it (like in Dune and similar where cold blade weapons is used because defense systems deal with the fast incoming threats), and the tanks don't have infantry right by the tank because system like Trophy damages the accompanying infantry, and the Trophy really performs a lot of tank defensive tasks that the accompanying infantry would otherwise be tasked with. So, the first warhead - the one manually placed on armor (and that warhead wasn't shaped charge) - explodes and takes out the Trophy, and after that the Hamas guy shoots the tandem warhead which would penetrate the reactive armor and the main armor.
I can only speak for myself, but I have two Teslas and I'll never go back to another car after this point unless it's substantially better. I don't have any issues with mine and the speed and technology never gets old. Daily driving a car that beats super cars in 0-60, the quarter mile and tops out at 200 mph is a pretty awesome experience (and combined with the self driving, audio system, and giant screen with maps, and a GPU that plays Steam games).
I was just gonna say, there’s probably single CFD simulation files that are larger than 45GB.
It is surprising to see these sentiments on a site ostensibly for entrepreneurs and builders.

If you'd prefer a centrally planned and regulated economy, that is a different discussion. From my side, I believe you should enjoy your views and the living situation which accompanies it.

Not interested in arguing the virtues of either approach here. Taking exception with the inaccurate characterizations is as far as I go. If you believe an economy driven by central bank policy is a free-market, I'm not sure there's much more we can say here.
I don't think "huge" gaps was the issue I've seen talked about, it was inconsistent alignment in panel gaps: https://www.motortrend.com/news/2020-tesla-model-y-panel-gap...
Perhaps you are right, but the same charge could be leveled against Media Matters if one is being intellectually honest.
I don’t think it used to be as rare as you think. The internet mob phenomenon has made it easier for random people to be bizarrely piled on for one bad comment but in the recent past famous well-liked people had to completely hide that they were gay or have their careers ruined. Additionally, McCarthyism was a thing and certainly being an atheist in most of the country wasn’t exactly pleasant until very recently.
Points based visa system, like in Canada.

Dock points for countries with different alphabets, bad educational systems, bad research & development, etc, give extra points if they can prove "extra curriculars" that align with the local values, for example volunteering, civic action, etc. Oh, give extra points if the countries have strong ties to the EU, economic and otherwise. For example trade agreements, cultural exchange programs, etc.

> Agreeing with an antisemitic post on his social media platform X, Elon Musk endorsed the claim that Jewish communities push “hatred against Whites.”

> An X post Wednesday afternoon said: “Jewish communties (sic) have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.” The post also referenced “hordes of minorities” flooding Western countries, a popular antisemitic conspiracy theory.

If Musk's allegations are factual, and I expect he has proof they are, Media Matters, and modern left liberalism on the Internet, is finished.
The battery in my pixel 4xl failed two times under warranty and then a third where googles service provider wouldn't do it again for me. (The ribbon connector is actually what fails).

So I went to Amazon and bought a $14 kit that came with a battery AND tools. Did it myself in 15 minutes. (Whereas the UBreakIfix vendor took like 2 hours of my time between dropoff and pickup).

The Amazon battery has lasted longer than 3 Google official batteries did. Even so, I no longer worry about batteries when all these cheap kits and instructions exist.

I never had to deal with winmodems either as an owner or a tech person, thank heavens. I started out with the 300-baud Commodore 64 modem, but I knew a couple of Pacific Northwest Bell techs who pretty quickly set me up with a 1200 baud modem, which was extremely high tech at the time. It didn't have a dialer, so I had a separate phone attached to it I used to dial, but at least I didn't have to use acoustic cups!
There should be a a "used Framework Laptop & Parts marketplace" -- somewhere on the Internet...

Oh sure, there's EBAY and Amazon and Craigslist and other online "for sale"/auction sites/marketplaces -- but it would be nice to have one specifically for Framework laptops...

It would be nice to have one that understands Framework laptops (and subcomponents) -- in the same way Newegg understands computer parts better than any of the above online marketplaces...

But... if someone is going to do that, then why stop there?

Why not create a site for all things Open Source Hardware?

Like a site that just "gets" Open Source Hardware -- and it shows in their interface/query engine -- sort of like the way that Octopart "gets" (understands) electronic parts and components...

Anyway, just a free random idea for the HN/YC Community and the Internet -- anyone that's listening...

1. Balancing does not change the internal impedance of cells with different aging characteristics. You will be constrained by the weakest cell behaving more like a crude resister in the pack over time.

2. Balancing does ensure the capacity of all cells is maximized, but does not match each discharge characteristic under load.

Thus, the method can improve cell life under shallow changing, but can't atop unbalanced loading with random cell impedance mismatch.

There are good chargers and special meters that can help match a set of cells.

Best of luck =)

...only for base64 to become fragmented into standard or URL due to character choice, and padded or not padded as a "cool trick to save some bytes".
Exactly. And when you realize how weak GPT is on this is by giving it complicated type system programming problems and watch it fall over and get stuck in circular, illogical patterns, and then get even crazier as you try to correct it.

It can't "reason things through", it just builds logic-like patterns based on the distillation of the work of other minds which did reason -- which works about 80% of the time, but when it fails it can't retrace its steps.

Even a really "stupid" human (c'est moi) can be made to work through and find their errors when given guidance by a patient teacher. In my experience, dialectical guidance actually makes ChatGPT worse.
If people are at each other's throats like this, it could be an indication of how close AGI is.
Ilya himself was a member of the board that voted to fire Altman. I don't know if he's lying to his teeth in these comments, making up an alibi, or is genuinely trying to convince people was acting as a rubber stamp and doesn't know anything.

Law enforcement has no obligation to explain the laws to you.

One aspect of common-law, is that it is law that is equally applied to all. The logic is, if Bob did thing $x, and Sally did thing $x, both should expect a similar outcome.

This is because a person has a right to know how specific acts are interpreted by courts, for whatever legislation is being tried against. A person has a literal right in common-law, pre-dating most modern democracies, to know how a thing they do will be interpreted.

And this is why most descendants of common-law legal systems, such as the US, put such strong strictures on prior judgements. It's vital. It's missed by many, but this is how people know how the law will be interpreted.

And my point in all of this is, yes, 100%, under common-law, someone has to give you an idea of how your actions will be interpreted. It's core to common-law, and US law, is predicated upon common-law, criminal or civil.

"Ignorance of the law is no excuse", however, that does not remove the right to be informed of the law when asked!

(Let's not dive into the few places that have napoleonic civil code in the US, and stick to federal law at least)
To some extent there are sufficient humans who care about money to "control the loads".

> ...an unjustified adverse impact on members of a protected class...

Requiring doctors to have an MD is going to have a disparate impact on all sorts of factors, including protected classes. Likewise, an anonymized leetcode question isn't going to pass candidates uniformly across identities. But there's a pretty strong case that the use of such measures is justified.

Prioritizing candidates with a referral might be argued to be a disparate impact without justification, and that's somewhere there might be a stronger case but it's not so clear cut.

It could be a more primal explanation. I think OpenAi doesn’t want to effectively be a R&D arm of Microsoft. The ChatGPT mobile app is an unpolished and unrefined. There’s little to no product design there, so I totally see how it’s fair criticism to call out premature feature milling (especially when it’s clear it’s for Microsoft).

I’m imagining Sam being Microsoft’s Trojan horse, and that’s just not gonna fly.

If anyone tells me Sam is a master politician, I’d agree without knowing much about him. He’s a Microsoft plant that has support of 90% of the OpenAi team. The two things are conflicts of interest. Masterful.

It’s a pretty fair question to ask a CEO. Do you still believe in OpenAi vision or do you know believe in Microsoft’s vision?
