It was SBF who put it in the hands of the US by declaring bankruptcy in essentially 3 days instead of playing the long wait game

Also SBF who put it in the hands of the US by staying in the Bahamas and essentially waiting to be arrested (and immediately extradicted to the US) instead of fleeing to Cuba or Colombia or South America. 25ft Inflatable ribs can make that route.

During the first day of crisis he could have gone to Russia too by private plane and pull a Snowden

FWIW, I didn't find Lewis's book as bad (or amoral) as it's often made out to be. Yes, he didn't put his judgement in every paragraph, but his description of SBF was:

a) absolutely damning! SBF's lack of empathy, his notion that (given that everyone else is stupid) he knew best and should basically ignore the advice of everyone else (particularly his elders), his naive utilitarianism without any deontological/virtue temperance, his reckless "many-worlds" risk-neutrality in gambling - that was all described in detail in the book, even if it was not explicitly condemned. Lewis didn't bother to show why these traits are bad. (I don't know what Lewis himself thought about them, but who cares? Show, don't tell.)

b) empathetic, eliciting compassion. Sure, the kid was screwed up, but here's why. And, btw, you might well have turned out the same way under similar circumstances, but for the grace of god.

My conclusion: 1) Lewis's book was good and insightful, and it's unfair to describe it as an apologia. 2) SBF has severe moral deficiencies and belongs in prison for a long time, but not because he is "evil". 3) Let's have some damn humility.
I think large companies should be punished for stealing from people to make themselves richer.
I would put all the ship systems on one bus.

Then put the networked stuff on another bus.

Then add a bridge that connects the two buses where you could just pull a fuse for a total disconnect. The bridge would have to have a very simple protocol to make it difficult for a worm to cross.

That’s how I’d do it if I had to design a ship that also had to be networked.
Why just elders? I see modern start ups and companies, ran by 30/40yo C-suite mandating return to the office.
Really impressed with the custom firmware people are developing for this radio. The one I am on now is written by egzumer and even comes with a spectrum analyzer.

Unfortunately, the radio itself is about what you would expect from a $30 import. The frontend easily overloads, and the harmonics on transmit are way outside what the FCC permits. Still, as a gateway into ham radio, it is one hell of a value proposition.
No dog in this race either way, but what is Michael Lewis meant to have done? Is it just that people feel hist treatment of SBF in Going Infinite was too lenient?
I think of it like this: Many people would "happily" spend 5 years in prison for a more than probable chance to get filthy rich. That's a superset with, I imagine, significantly greater cardinality than the set of those willing to spend 25.

Obviously there is a sweet spot. For example, if you're okay with 60 years, than you're probably okay with 80. I'd imagine 20, give or take 5 years or so, is near that sweet spot, but that's just my gut feeling. Obviously statistics is key here, if there is any.

> 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.

How does this square with, for example, the Dragon Awards? These kicked off after the initial 'sad puppy' Hugo drama, and many of the early winners were from that group, but in the last couple years once they've become more widely known outside that demographic they're looking a little more like the other big popular-vote award.
This reminds me of the Make Illegal States Unrepresentable[0] idea, where something will return a ‘ResolvedExecutor’ type to guarantee that you’re only working with something in the state you want. Go makes this a little clunky to do, though. I suppose you could use Generics to implement a Preresolved and Resolved struct.

No, screaming at someone is not violence. The WHO definition you cite also restricts its definition to physical force. If screaming were violence, we'd have prisons full of sports fans after every football game.

"Harming someone" is anything which causes harm. We have different words to describe different things. In this way, we can tell them apart when communicating with each other.
The hard part is that US citizens may not know they are doing business outside the jurisdiction of the US government. Are you rejecting the protection of the US government if the company is doing its best to obscure that fact and the associated risks? How about if they are advertising in the US? On the superbowl?
Those 'other things' are generally more optional than shelter, so you'll bid up shelter until you get it while sacrificing those other things. Inelastic demand and inelastic supply is a bad combo.

We see affordability and population growth in places that allow housing.
I too think that people underestimate how much prison would absolutely suck. Especially if you lead a life that is otherwise crime-free.

That's not at all how I interpreted the comment you are responding to.

That is, FTX's customers knew, or most definitely should have known, that FTX (and crypto at large - that is essentially the primary selling point of crypto) was "outside the regulatory financial framework". Yet when things blew up and all these FTX customers lost all their money, there was very little reflection of "Hey, perhaps these financial regulations really do have some purpose.", it was more "I want the government to now enforce the banking laws that I was essentially trying to evade in the first place."
You can always listen. It's transmitting that requires a license. Possibly also the modding as well.
Not gonna disagree with you re: D&D. Its funny, I see people playing "hacks" or "homebrews" of d&d that strip it to the bone, no feats no weapon damage, just roll a d20 and higher is better. And those players won't consider running a different system actually designed for that style.
All definitions of violence which extend past physical force are incorrect.

> I expect him to royally misunderstand the rules of the game

What a weird take on his behavior. His parents are law professors, he had an army of lawyers working for him at the time, yet he just didn't care and did what he felt like, knowing full well the damage it would do, because that was the whole point. There is no misunderstanding, it was just indifference.
Short answer: no
Nuanced short answer: operate on frs channels or buy a gmrs license and operate on those bands. This is still illegal because your equipment isn't allowed to operate on these bands but not heavily enforced. Use at your own risk.

How you commit crime is make it complicated enough that a prosecutor will think twice about their ability to teach a jury about how what you did worked and that any of the steps were even wrong in the first place. This is why so much financial crime goes unpunished.
I think that would be a hugely unpopular move, for essentially no benefit (he doesn't have any more money to donate), and would be one hell of an unforced error on the part of the democratic campaign.
> Secondly, when funds of this scale are stolen, inevitably people wind up dying early from things like stress, and suicides.

Yep, it was mentioned in sentencing today by one of the victims.

At least 3 have already committed suicide after the shit hit the fan.
Prosecuting individual contributors to gambling is too far, but prosecuting C-level execs of gambling companies is correct to me.
>5. There is no proof that the death penalty deters criminals. According to the National Academy of Sciences, “Research on the deterrent effect of capital punishment is uninformative about whether capital punishment increases, decreases, or has no effect on homicide rates.”

Capital punishment is cheap though. And more humane than life sentence. Actually I think that we should return some form of corporal punishment and shorten prison sentences for non violent crimes. Subject SBF to Singapore style caning every month and 2-3 years in prison, forbid him to ever work with other people's money and be done with him.

> 25 years isn't a death sentence for him Parole is available after 1/3 of term, realistically he won't serve 100%

Federal prison does not have parole. Only good behavior options. But that could reduce it to 12.5, if he hits all behavior targets.

Also, as a JS developer, even if you want to auto-update the end year to the current one, why would you do that on the client? To make the layout shift? Or to display (c) 2024-2038 on clients with wrong date settings?

If it's statically generated, add the year at build time.
If it's server-generated and dynamic, don't do it in JS I guess? I mean, why? It has only downsides.
> I think the distinction between "violent" is completely irrelevant.

In particular since several people with crypto losses committed suicide, or worse, murder-suicide (killing their family and kids first).
I've been tracking my job applications since 2020.

I'm not having applications rejected as much as I'm having them get ghosted.

My percentage of ghosted applications is up 25% from 2022 and 20% from 2020, while my number of outbound applications is up 40% from 2022 and 45% from 2020.

Like many folks here, I used to get a good amount of inbound recruiter activity prior to 2023, but that's all but stopped. That channel is _barely_ picking back up again.

The good news is that applications following up from referrals have gotten me interviews fairly consistently. The bad news is that places with open headcount are harder to find.
And it's not even 60FPS. According to the article it can manage 44FPS at 720p.

Not if they short-sell the car-manufacturer stock first! Granted, that might increase their odds of being caught, but attackers don't have to be wise to be dangerous.

Depending on what can be hacked, another possibility would be a string of suspiciously-smooth thefts.

This was true for a long time, but the "First Step" act, passed I think in 2021, increased the good behavior credit maximum to 50%.

Realistically then, SBF is looking at 11.5 years if he can stay out of trouble, which is relatively easy for white-collar criminals in relatively low security prisons.

Federal rules still don't have parole.

Right, that's why you need to load some needles with a placebo.
I absolutely did not say that.

Rather, I'm suggesting that in the eye of the beholder, a very clear case of fraud might be self-perceived as a bump on the road to lawful, legitimate financial dealings.

So the question is if SBF didn't see himself as committing the same crimes as Madoff (even if he was), would Madoff's sentencing and fate even register as a potential deterrent?
Axum is certainly where it is at and where it has been for a while in terms of HTTP server frameworks. I'd say actix is in second place for sure, but it is wholly viable regardless. Rocket is no longer in the running as far as I'm concerned, and it hasn't been for quite some time.

Dioxus is certainly taking the head spot in front end. I still have more concern about the venture backing than I have confidence about it, but for better or for worse, it is certainly the best attempt at this so far. I enjoyed yew as a react-style framework, but its development is slow. Dioxus has made a lot of progress, and in my experience, it is currently the best experience that can be had.

It's hard to say if now is the correct time, but I'd be watching it closely if I were you. There's been major work to improve the framework with many of the interfaces changing. Now might be a good time because of the progress made here, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were more changes in store. Although I imagine that you're used to that from bevy anyway.
> Naturally, by this logic I have to ask: why not 32 years? 52? 102?

Because the sentencing judge applied the guidelines provided by law as written by legislature, considered case-law, the specifics of this case and applied their professional judgement to come up with a 25-year sentence as an appropriate one for the crimes committed. If the defendant disagrees, they can appeal the sentence to get a second opinion.

You're attempting to reductio ad absurdum prison sentences - I'll apply it to your argument in turn - why send guilty people to prison at all? What's the difference between 1 day imprisonment and 60, or 6000? A sense of proportion is the difference between a black-and-white world and the one we strive for in reality.
>> # synapses should be analogous to # model parameters no?

I think they're equivalent to a parameter AND the multiplier. Or in analog terms they'd just be a resistor whose value can be changed. Digital stuff is not a good fit for this.
IMO an important component of punishment is convincing society that justice has been served. Too light a punishment, and vigilantism will become prevalent.
There's an unshielded nuclear reactor hanging in the sky just like bricks don't.

I'm not a nuclear physicist so I may be orders of magnitude off, but my gut feeling is that being constantly bombarded with the solar wind might be putting into a very slightly radioactive equilibrium?

> Finally, specific to XAI, we're seeing people actually deal with the problem that, well, people aren't really using this stuff!

I am very curious to see which practical interpretability/explainability requirements enter into regulations - on one hand it's hard to imagine a one-size fits all approach, especially for applications incorporating LLMs, but Bordt et al. [1] demonstrate that you can provoke arbitrary feature attributions for a prediction if you can choose post-hoc explanations and parameters freely, making a case that it can't _just_ be left to the model developers either

[1] "Post-Hoc Explanations Fail to Achieve their Purpose in Adversarial Contexts", Bordt et al. 2022, https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3531146.3533153
It's worth noting that a huge amount of the government's case involved evidence that SBF and team were buying lavish oceanfront condos, paying superstar athletes for weird TV commercials, etc.

This was actually a tiny slice of the overall financial mischief at FTX. But it told well in front of a jury. And it reinforced a big point that prosecutors keep wanting to make, as publicly as possible. "Don't take the customers' money to live large on your thefts!" That's a message that they want countless bookkeepers, financial planners, etc. to hear, again and again.

So, yes, they wanted to make an example out of SBF. The intricacies of FTX's full financial gyrations were sometimes too complicated to put in front of a jury. But the clueless or duped crypto-trading clients got a free bailout anyway. It came on the back of a prosecution that was largely intended to be a public slapdown of a guy committing lifestyle offenses with other people's money.
I met a nice Israeli filmography couple (somewhat known in Israel, I think) in Tulum last summer. After conducting important business, they were telling me about how they were vacating on the back of a nice windfall -- they got paid upfront for an editting/production job which was unprecedented and generous. Implications of lots of money and some "image rehabilitation". They're acting a bit coy about it, and I'm feeling perfectly fine to be nosy.

So they ask if I've ever heard of "S.B.F.". After my mouth fell open and I gasped for air a few times, and demanded some proof, I got to see a not-public interview of SBF. Nothing particularly juicy, but still. I'm a nerd and I love gossip.

Apropos of nothing, other than the world is small, and weird; I guess.

I wonder if you removed the "two or fewer" if you'd get a different result.
I've found this happens with a lot of first party clients. At work, we use LaunchDarkly for feature flags and use their code references tool to keep track of where flags are being referenced. The tool uses their first party Go client to interact with the API but the client doesn't handle rate limiting at all even though they have rate limiting headers clearly documented for their API.

Thanks for all the writing. I read Cukoo's Egg when it came out and enjoyed but it took at least 10 years before I really followed it. As I remember I got started getting more involved in IT and Unix shortly after I read it and there would be conscious or even sub conscious moments were I'd be running some command or learning some networking concept and what I was learning at the moment would be a bit clearer for having read the book. Or maybe the book would be a bit clearer because I'd seen the reality on my screen.
It obviously deters crime. Look at it this way. If maximum prison sentence was 5 minutes, would you see more or less crime happening?
I'll try to find the article, I think the point was that we think we are being violent to others with a conscious intention of trying to prevent future violence, but that most of the time we are doing it with the intention of them knowing our current pain that we think they caused to us, not really thinking much about the future.

So if the spite causes people to feel sufficiently afraid to do the action in the future, maybe it deters people from acting that way?

You should use a geometric mean for this sort of stuff. The difference between a one- and two-year sentence is much bigger than 25 and 26.

So that would be 16 years, though obviously, it's foolish to use "right down the middle" as a heuristic for something like this. (The more severe a crime, the more incentive the defense has to pretend like it didn't happen at all.)
SBF wasn't convicted for violating financial regulations (such as maintaining capital liquidity, reporting transactions or meeting KYC requirements). He was convicted of fraud and conspiracy.
