Amazing color to add to this great story, thank you.

Reading your relation, I realized that this intermixing of "questionable" (at the time) art ended up in religious settings including bible printings back then, resulting in even worse results. My first recollection is of the scandalous chapter opening characters used in some of the earliest KJV printings that results in bankruptcy/ruination of the press owner/printer due to royal/religious offense and subsequent punishment!
It would be better if banks educated customers on best practices such as "don't trust anything on a different domain" and "only provide PII for verification if you are the one initiating the call". Of course, both of those would require that banks stopped engaging in those two practices which make legitimate interactions indistinguishable from phishing.
"Sci-fi readers have moved to adjacent genres and non-fiction because the current tech landscape is so depressing" makes a lot of sense to me.
Its a federal case tried by the US Attorney’s office for, and in the US District Court for, the Southern District of New York.

Maybe don't send your money to an unregulated startup in the Bahamas to gamble on cryptocurrencies if losing that money is going to cause you to commit suicide?

The "victims" knew they were intentionally avoiding government oversight of securities law, banking regulators, etc. When they lost money we should have collectively shrugged our shoulders and said that's the risk they chose to take.
How much did Jordan Belfort get?

Elizabeth Holmes?

Mt.Gox guy?

25 years is an exageration to be honest, there was never criminal intent, if anything there was too much belief in their creature, less like Madoff and more like the Long Term Capital Management guys. I don't remember them serving a single day in jail.

It goes to show that judges and prosecutors are just trophy hunters for media attention these days, as proven by the 1000s of proceedings against Donald Trump which costed millions of dollars and recovered exactly 0 dollars.

In any event this goes to show that if you are on the spectrum and can't empathize you should RUN at the first sign of things going south. This guy was in the Bahamas too, from there you can reach Cuba with an Inflatable Rib with a 40hp motor, South America too, St. Kitts and Nevis too which doesn't have an extradition treaty and is the place that many real criminals call home.
That folk art part of things also gets a little extra literal when you consider the long history of typically folk-style filk songs based on scifi and fantasy works.

You could quite reasonably argue that SBF's sentence was, if anything, excessive. And, by extension, that Ulbricht's was simply grotesque.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding but are you suggesting that because he unknowingly hired a fake assassin, it’s not as bad of a crime?
This is my point. Are Google being "morality police" here, or are they just meeting some possible legal requirements (IANAL)?

All things being equal, a company would most likely rather do nothing, as that's the cheapest option. The fact they aren't suggests a good motivating reason, and potential legal obligations trump personal moral opinions, which are hard to pin down anyway in a large multinational company.
I don't know if I would say, 'just fine.' Technically yes. The issue comes in with that not everything in Foundation is quiet yet there on the Linux platform. But it is getting better and better and probably good enough for 90% of stuff. It seems more of a problem of just getting the last bit done to push Foundation over the finish line.
This is the simplest explanation, but it's also the null hypothesis.

I believe that "nothing changes over there" implies not only no spooky action, but also no entanglement.
how, he is 32?
Sure, but, like, so were Madoff and Holmes. Henry Kissinger, _Henry Kissinger_, was on Theranos's board. Rupert Murdoch invested. I don't think SBF really had anyone on that level?

There is a certain point where it no longer matters; such connections would only really matter if they could get the investigation stopped. Once it goes to court, assuming it's a proper court, those sort of connections kind of cease to matter.
It’s not just a sci-fi, it’s all books. And movies. and TV. and theater. And…

The media landscape is a lot more competitive. Vastly so. Of course, with the internet, video games, social media, older forms of entertainment will lose market share.
If you ask to borrow $500 and I give it to you, and you run off with the money with no intent to ever pay me back, did you commit fraud? Or was I just a rube who should have known better?

You seem to wish to live in a zero trust world model where everyone is out to scam everyone at all times and "caveat emptor" if you do get scammed. We should do our best as a society to not turn into that.

I thought this was going to be a full state machine, where each state has a different interface, but it looks like the Resolved state is just the result of Resolver.Execute(). Wouldn't it be preferable to return the result in a new object, rather than reusing the same object?
I work in analog,

1) Noise is an issue as the system gets complex. You can't get away with counting to 1 anymore, all those levels in between matter.
2) Its hard to make an analog computer reconfigurable.
3) Analog computers exist commercially believe it or not, but for niche applications and essentially as coprocessors.
I can't think of any cases where someone would be deterred by 25 years in prison, but not, say, 8 years in prison.
I didn't mention it in the post, but this was more so coming from an angle of preparing for money running out. How much runway is enough knowing that if I fail there will be some amount of lead time to find a new gig and if that new gig will pay similarly to what I am making now.

Is it a deterrent? SBF knew Madoff got 150 years.

Good article, because it's a canary in the coal-mine that warns us against drive-by-wire in personal automobiles. Personally I will never own or use a car that is drive-by-wire, especially if it's connected to the internet. I believe strongly there will be (soon?) be an incident where an org or individual will hack a fleet of such cars, cause widespread death, and the public will pull their hair and say "how could this have happened?!"
That is certainly correct for "street crime" where premeditation and risk reward analysis aren't a part of the equation.

I have some pretty serious doubts about it when it comes to large financial crimes where both those things are absolutely part of the process. A death sentence probably isn't going to stop someone from killing another person, they're already off the deep end of irrationality. However 25 years of prison is probably going to be a significant deterrent to someone choosing to commit billions worth of fraud, maybe the profit margin isn't that important.
If you use the made up averaging scheme of ((5^p+50^p)/2^p)^(1/p), 25 is the limit as p -> inf (i think).

The federal system doesn't have parole, and gives a maximum of 15% off for good behaviour.

He won't be out for ~two decades.
It’s to stop him first - he won’t be running financial fraud schemes for 20-25 years

Then it’s to stop other bright minds from attempting anything like this - they’ll remember SBF. His crime has a price now: 20-25 years
Yes but at the same time, anyone attempting to set up legitimate crypto exchanges and engage in the kinds of shenanigans SBF indulged in will know to check with their lawyers before moving now, because they'll have to think "Will doing this (possibly fraudulent activity) land me in jail for 25 years like SBF?" - that's a decent deterrent.
He scammed too many other rich and powerful people I think. Just stick with scamming the commoners and you'll be fine :)
Linux Foundation launches an open source fork of Redis
People are going to do this, so for an outfit like NIST the question is about harm minimisation.

Harm minimisation is why you'd have a place where junkies can get clean needles rather than sharing used needles. If you don't like the junk example, how about booze? Americans tried making it outright illegal, didn't go well, but now they have a lot of rules. The rules make the booze not safe - booze is poisonous, but at least less dangerous than it might have been, with fewer inadvertent casualties, less associated crimes, and so on.
I've always been in favor of the Norway sentencing model [0]. 21 years is the max prison sentence, with 5 year extensions possible. Punishment must always carry the possibility of rehabilitation and return to society, even in the most extreme cases. A small amount of people will show no remorse or willingness to improve and will remain in prison for life.

So screaming at someone is not violence?

Definitions vary depending on context. I think of violence as a spectrum. Talking peacefully and negotiating is extremely low violence. Threats etc are more. All our war and atomics are about the limit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence?wprov=sfla1

> Some definitions are somewhat broader, such as the World Health Organization's definition of violence as "the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation."

Violence IMO is anything which causes harm or can be used to force a condition.
I think it's more about the decline of popularity in reading books, than popularity of genres. People who are interested in technology, use technology. I don't have to read Silo, when I can watch it. I watch Severance, not read the unwritten book.

I think its probably taking the approximately 21 years you get with the sentence with maximum good conduct time reduction, and also assuming credit for time served after his bail was revoked.
Biggest problems with TypeScript IMO are that it’s a layer rather than a language proper and that untyped JS problems can too easily worm their way in if you’re using any libraries at all. Also depending on the group of developers involved, the ease at which one can pull the escape hatch and opt out of TS is a liability and can render much of its benefit moot.
I didn't find it confusing. The headline had me thinking "a pen that instantly delivers a life saving drug in the event of a heart attack". The EpiPen is a point of comparison most people are familiar with. The name of the actual drug is even right there in the title (Selatogrel)
Is there some sort of "LLM-on-Wikipedia" competition?

ie: given "just wikipedia" what's the best score people can get on however these models are evaluated.

I know that all the commercial ventures have a voracious data-input set, but it seems like there's room for dictionary.llm + wikipedia.llm + linux-kernel.llm and some sort of judging / bake-off for their different performance capabilities.

Or does the training truly _NEED_ every book every written + the entire internet + all knowledge ever known by mankind to have an effective outcome?
Not all definitions of violence are limited to physical force. Some are, including any form of power which allows abuse.
You're right. I misremembered; read up on a lot of things in last months. Doesn't really matter, because we're discussing a protocol anyways.

Madoff spent ~12 years in prison before he died at 82.

They gave him a 150 year sentence for a crime on par-ish with SBF's crimes, because at 70 there is little difference between 20 years and 100 years, so you may as well go for the shock value.
The main purpose of imprisoning white-collar crime is to act as a deterrent. If the upside for a financial crime is billions of dollars, and the potential risk is 25 years in prison, lots of people will be willing to take that risk, especially if 25 years actually means 17ish with good behavior.

If the punishment is life in prison with no chance of parole, it'll act as more of a deterrent.

Punishment lengths don't act as a deterrent to petty and violent crime, because the people commiting those crimes are not intelligent or are crimes of passion. Systematic fraud like this is slow, calculated and methodical.
If he gets out in 5 years he'll be doing the same thing. He showed no remorse or understanding that he did anything wrong. A 25 year sentence means we've got 20 more years of public safety.
Developers: Stop Donating Your Work to Cloud Service Providers
When I saw Redis relicense to the SSPL last week, I knew that the developer community would be unhappy. It’s not the first time this has happened and definitely not the last either.

But as developers, instead of this kneejerk reaction, we need to take a step back and understand why open-source companies continue to move away from permissive licenses. Are the licenses we choose really preserving our freedom? Who are we really helping when we release our projects under licenses that don’t protect our rights?

Being a developer as well as an open-source entrepreneur, I wanted to put down my thoughts with regards to licensing and start a conversation within our community.
Best teacher I had in high school taught economics. First day of class his lesson was "If you're going to become a criminal follow these 10 rules".

I can't remember all the rules but the two I do:
1. Don't do anything for less than $1M. Risk isn't worth the reward.
2. Don't use a weapon. It adds years to your sentence.

It was mostly about how white-collar crime has a much safer risk/reward ratio.
But make sure to call it ClosedData or something so we know it’s not open source

(sorry, I think openai and sam are gross)
How much do you think an extra 5 years would add in terms of deterrence? It seems downright dishonest to characterize a third of his life as a joke.

Where I would put my energy into is making the risk of being prosecuted higher. If getting prosecuted is rare, the kind of people who are into cryptocurrency are going to figure that they’re likely to get away with it as long as they aren’t so blatant. White collar crime prevention needs to focus on changing that assumption.
A fair bit of vehicles go well north of 5 already so propulsion aside I don’t think the hurdles are massive. And propulsion seems to be what everyone is focused on
I've mostly switched from reading science fiction to horror. I think horror fiction is actually having a bit of a boom, mainly because authors still take risks in horror.

I wasn't surprised to see that sales of classics/reprints in science fiction haven't gone down but it's all new publishing that has.

Science Fiction is plagued with all the same problems facing comic books and tabletop gaming: the entire publishing industry only cares about representation and winning industry accolades for said representation and it isn't resonating with fans so sales are cratering. The industries are focused on people who aren't already customers and they aren't attracting them as customers either.

Disney keeps doing this absolutely baffling thing where they purchase male-dominated (by fandom) IPs and run them into the ground (Star Wars, Marvel, and I assume Epic Games' catalog soon-enough). They've acknowledged in previous years annual statements that their marketing primarily targets girls and that they have problems marketing to boys and men. These big IP buys were an attempt to diversify and all they've done is double down on their exisiting customer.

Well the authorities will probably do something sensible like ban keyboards or something. They already banned the flipper zero in Canada because it can be used to unlock insecure cars.
Imo 5 means 3 and that is too low for most serious crimes, it feels almost like an incentive to just not get caught, more than an incentive to not do it all.

Losing 20 years of your life though will have a drastic effect on the rest of your life. As it should for some crimes.

Detective novels in space can still be good, and much better than the current crop of Hollywood garbage. I'm still quite bitter about what Amazon did to The Expanse. First legit sci-fi we get in years, and they devolved it into "muscle bound hero shoots aliens with laser gun" within one season of acquiring it from SyFy.
>Hopefully he is ALSO restricted, for life, from ever working in finance again.

A felony conviction is pretty effective for heavily restricting any type of employment. The universal and cheap access to background checks means work is either places that deliberately have "hire a felon" programs or some type of self-employment, or connections with people very high up in a company. Though all those angles are also complicated if any sort of state licensing is involved.
Possible that some future President would commute his sentence or grant a pardon. But unlikely.
Honestly, I think all the dystopian sci-fi is hitting too close to home for people lately. It's intriguing and thrilling when it's some far-off distant future that seems like a thought experiment. It's depressing when it reads like the natural conclusion of the events that are unfolding in the current day
