I must be missing something. This fund succeeds if and only if Bitcoin prices increase.

LPs are investing USD, which is immediately converted to Bitcoin. Newly converted Bitcoin is lent to borrowers, yielding returns for LPs.

Why are LPs willing to incur both default risk and Bitcoin price volatility risk when they could simply lend USD directly to borrowers, incurring only the default risk? If lenders assume Bitcoin borrowers are more likely to default (and I am saying if), they're assuming a greater default risk, in addition to the volatility risk.

I have to imagine Sam Altman and co. have a reason to believe there's something to this model. What do they see that I can't?

It may help some also to know what an amp actually is: 6.241x10^18 protons or electrons per 1 second of time passing a certain point. A single Amp is equal to 1 Coulomb and 1 Coulomb has 1 Joule of energy. I share this from my personal documentation in comprehension of understanding the unseen resulting from a device I am building to solve a personal energy storage problem. All open knowledge certainly but graphing these relationships into a visual depiction of the correlation has greatly assisted when talking to others that have ZERO knowledge about energy and power. Humans are nearly all 100% visual so explaining it with pictures presents A LOT of AHA moments for those without such comprehension.

The inverse relationship between amps and volts can also help:
50 volts * 24 Amps = 1200 Watts
100 Volts * 12 Amps = 1200 Watts
120 Volts * 10 Amps = 1200 Watts
150 Volts * 8 Amps = 1200 Watts
200 Volts * 6 Amps = 1200 Watts
240 Volts * 5 Amps = 1200 Watts
360 Volts * 3.333 Amps = 1200 Watts
480 Volts * 2.5 Amps = 1200 Watts
600 Volts * 2 Amps = 1200 Watts

NES didn't come out until the tail end of 1985 in NYC and 1986 in the rest of the country. Since no new Atari games we're even released by anyone in 1985 (with 2 minor Activision games as the only exception) your claim seems dubious to me. There may have not been a drop in sales numbers from the retailers (who were still burning through the glut of old stock by selling at a loss) but at that point I can't imagine that anybody was still making money up until the NES came out.
Why are they scared to do that?

Wired was started in the 1990s, a time that was optimistic even by the standards of your generic "the past was always better" heuristic. It was so optimistic that they actually debated the merits of paying off the US national debt.

https://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/28/business/greenspan-foreca...

In the 1990s, Wired was not merely "infectious and enthusiastic". It was gullibly gung-ho, and ugly as hell. I used a heuristic: if something appeared on the cover of Wired, it was either a fait accompli, or going to fail within a year.

So yeah, 1990s Wired was genuinely different. But often not in a good way.
It's not just random postal workers doing it though, it's union members doing it as part of a sympathy strike. And surely every workers "duty" is their job, so then no striking should be allowed? Or should only complete strikes be allowed?

Union members should be allowed to go on strike, complete or partial as far as I'm concerned.
Lance Hendrick has a nice deep dive on this paper as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuqVUsMPs-U&
I agree that it's error prone and far from ideal, and that most people should be using signal or matrix or something, but I'm not sure what other practical answers there are for more intense cases where people don't have access to those things.
That's a great tutorial.

One niggle: They refer to the SVG "tag." I had started HTMLing in the mid-1990s, and we always called everything "tags."

Then, XHTML came in, and people started screaming at us for calling them "tags." They were elements, dammit!

I say "element," these days, but my brain still says "tag."
The fact that it will affect me either way is kind of my point in saying this is not just IF Metall vs Tesla. I consider a union win to be the best outcome here.

The point of the Swedish model is to avoid micro management from the state and instead of mandating work regulations through law businesses and unions can negotiate sector specific agreements that suits the very people and companies that it affects.

Businesses and unions are better at knowing the needs of companies and people than what any government is.

Not everything has to be achieved through laws.

In Sweden we generally prefer to avoid laws whenever possible, deferring to best practices, common sense and business agreements.

That’s a much much nicer model than what we now get from eg EU where we get micro-level law making that deals with everything and more

simply not true.

Hope left the building. I had friends who were picking food from bins and sleeping on floors and they were graduates, parents didn't want to help because they didn't understand the problem. And now those parents are dying out or siding with their children who are very angry and bitter and will vote conservative always, far-right if the option came along.

Eating out isn't uncomfortable. You get to people watch, make small talk with the waiter, talk with the person you are eating with, read a book if you are alone. You also get a chance to get out of the house for a while, I love eating out, and honestly only having a baby (which does add complexity) is the only reason I don't eat out more.
One neat little quirk I've discovered about Rockbox on the iPod (I'm assuming it works on other hardware) is that while plugged into a computer it acts as an external HID: You can play/pause, skip, previous, and change the volume using it as a remote for your computer.

I've got plans to incorporate this to my office setup at some point rather than using media keys and an encoder.
They have more fully open stuff in the pipeline. IMHO it's good that they put out stuff for hobbyists to play around with so that they're not immediately overtaken by people ready to deploy things at commercial scale.
Thanks! Automatic updates are still possible; you can implement a code signing-based flow on top of this, or fetch hashes from GitHub releases, or anything, really. Attacks are only possible during setup, and targeting at that point in time is difficult because the client won't have authenticated yet. Anything else (attacks that rely on clearing the local state) can be mitigated using careful UI design.

This is endemic to public product demos. The thing never works as it does in the video. I'm not excusing it, I'm saying: don't trust public product demos.

I would have to agree about 95th percentile being not that difficult.

A streamer that I occasionally tune into (Asmongold) says that if you are seeking information outside of the game such as watching streams of the game, that makes you a top 10% player automatically.

Most people are passive consumers and participants in their activities and that isn't exclusive to the individual. I am a passive consumer & participant in many activities: I have no interest in being more knowledgable in cars / driving, I don't want to get better at cooking, I enjoy chess but I currently have no desire past futzing around with the Chess.com app in the few moments I have.

By virtue of seeking out information outside of that context, you are trying to dive deeper into the activity even if you aren't performing at that level.

Most software engineers aren't listening to podcasts about software engineering. If you are religiously listening to and learning from podcasts, that makes you more suspectible to being a higher percentile performer in software engineering.
I'm a pretty consistent top 10 amateur cyclist in Colorado. Some really get wrapped up in it and let it get to their head. The reality though is most people don't ride or race, of those who even race many are there just to participate, now of those who are there to race my percentile has dropped. On the flip side, the truly great riders are overseas and even of them there are just a handful of riders anyone will ever know by name and who are making any money.

One thing I'd advise from my experience a few months ago upgrading my 6th gen classic, take your time and be careful getting the right parts. Dimensions matter when it's getting crammed into a case, and for however much I'm not thrilled about apple using their own connectors or needing their software, I appreciate their physical design is elegant for working with their own parts - there's nothing wasted.

The iFlash converter I used was for a single SD card, I was only planning on putting in a single SD card so that's all I got as it was the cheapest, and why not get a big huge battery. However, the SD card slot is taller off the PCB than a microSD slot and iFlash only use them on the multi-card JBOD adapters, that makes it conflict with the larger battery if I wanted to keep the slim casing. So then the options are to get a different iFlash, get a different battery that doesn't go into the SD card area, or as I did a new 'fat' 160GB case.

I think you may be confusing jailbreaking and prompt injection.

Jailbreaking is more akin to social engineering - it's when you try and convince the model to do something it's "not supposed" to do.

Prompt injection is a related but different thing. It's when you take a prompt from a developer - "Translate the following from English to French:" - and then concatenate on a string of untrusted text from a user.

That's why it's called "prompt injection" - it's analogous to SQL injection, which was caused by the same mistake, concatenating together trusted instructions with untrusted input.

The 2nd sentence in my post is the identified problem. There are a few ways to fix it. The store owner is not doing any of it.

You aren't constitutionally allowed to carry a weapon to commit a crime. That shoplifting charge with a 50-100 community hours conviction turns into a 10 year mandatory jail sentence.

These aren't even hardened criminals. These are normal people who realize they will not be caught nor punished for such a petty crime as stealing a hotdog. This is on the level of stealing extra candy from the Halloween pumpkin bowl.
Good points. One thing about raising most of the world out of poverty, however, is that even with the current energy mix, it would not take much more fossil fuels, and only raise emissions by 5%. A very recent paper with this (somewhat surprising) modeling:

I know marketing is marketing, but it's bad form IMO to "demo" something in a manner totally detached from its actual manner of use. A swype keyboard takes practice to use, but the demos of that sort of input typically show it being used in a realistic way, even if the demo driver is an "expert".

This is the sort of demo that 1) gives people a misleading idea of what the product can actually do; and 2) ultimately contributes to the inevitable cynical backlash.

If the product is really great, people can see it in a realistic demo of its capabilities.
