That's an extremely good point I hadn't thought of.

If a customer fails this, their internal risk score goes up, which should increase the scrutiny/friction of future interactions between them and the bank.
I do not expect SBF to express remorse, be a model prisoner, etc. I expect him to royally misunderstand the rules of the game, which he routinely does in formal settings.

> If someone isn't a violent threat to society, there isn't much social benefit to keeping folks locked up longer then 20-ish years.

This unfortunately widely held belief is measurably wrong and reeks of all kinds of biases. White collar criminals are one of the categories most likely to reoffend. Recidivism is much higher in white collar criminals precisely due to the leniency they often experience and the powerful financial motives associated with these types of crimes.

For violent crime 38.9% of convicts were arrested for new crime within 3 years of release. White collar crime on the other hand had a 58.8% 3-year recidivism rate.

White collar crime poses systemic risks which violent crime doesn't to the same extent. It undermines confidence in institutions by creating corruption and waste, enriching few at the expense of many. When it becomes normalized and widespread this kind of crime can destroy a country's economic and political systems.

Honestly, downvoted.

The top voted comment in that topic is saying he's going to jail. Just because in a forum with a gazillion people some people have a different one doesn't make it representative of the median/mean/etc.

Also, it's not bad to have a counter-opinion to a group; it is bad to claim a singular opinion is that of the group without any actual justification.

I found the variance in sentencing data on the last couple of pages interesting. Notably there’s no variances in murder sentencing listed there. Does anyone know why that is? Are judges/juries not allowed to set sentences outside the guidelines for murder trials?

Running a self-hosted Mongo cluster is tedious and complicated task by itself. Mongo Inc isn’t incentivized to make it easy and user friendly because they have a cloud offering for you.

In addition to that Kubernetes isn’t really tailored to stateful workloads, so there are all sorts of gotchas and surprises there.

Yes. If we could stack transistors in the Z dimension as closely as we do in X and Y, we'd easily exceed the brains density.
I thought the DB isn’t supposed to go in the cluster?
Thanks for expanding my knowledge on this!
> I didn't find it confusing.

Ok? As stated, other comments already had exposed there was confusion.

> The name of the actual drug is even right there in the title (Selatogrel)

Many non-experts are aware of the general practice of drug companies patenting "repurposed drugs" or that the same medications are marketed under different names for different indications (eg Ozempic, Wegovy and Rybelsus are all the same medication).
I wouldn't expect most non-experts to immediately know that selatogrel is a generic and not a brand name, especially when it is being said in the same sentence as a brand name. It is quite forgivable to assume it might be an alternative trade name for an epi-pen.
Yeah last time I rode in a minibus (guagua (sp?)) was in the dominican republic. It was a 4 door sedan carrying ~9 people. I had shift the car into drive from park because the driver didn't want to reach across the lap of the female passenger who was also sitting in the drivers seat with him.

My memory was that the car had many warning lights on and turned off while we were driving. Somehow he was able to restart it without it being in park while we were coasting.

It was extremely cheap.
not if it's in ai, whoever gets to AGI first will cannibalize all other ai companies. Then AGI will eat every other software business. It'll be a chat interface that can be an ERP, accounting software. POS it can be and do anything you want it to do just by asking, so you only need one vendor. It's unlimited economic growth for once organization, death for everyone else. I'm still excited to see it happen, just a bit nervous what comes next.

I'm hoping for a star Trek society, personally. Though I just realized ai has always kinda been an end game... why doesn't it exist more in star Trek, sure there's data, but you'd think ai would permeate the star Trek universe. I'm a way to does in star wars, the droids have personality, self awareness, even self preservation.

From what I read on Wikipedia, Madoff didn't make a single investment with the money given to his wealth management program. He deposited it all into a bank account and paid people out of the same bank account. This is notably different from SBF's case.
Its certainly how I feel. Nothing 'Big Tech' has done in the last decade has been inspiring. Its all, subscriptions for car warmers, and new ways to show ads, and 'the metaverse' which science fiction fans have known to be ghoulish since at least the 70s.
> Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger hauled in $179 million in 2021, most of it coming from stock-related compensation.

When I see statements like this, I know to stop reading.

No he didn't make $179M. He was awarded PSUs that will mature only if Intel stock hits a certain price (in a window of N years). Not only did it not hit that price, it has been down considerably. The grants will likely expire before Intel's price hits those goals (I think the lowest target is in the 80 dollars).

His actual compensation that year? About $10M - quite a bit of it being a sign on bonus.

Extending words in one's public vocabulary to include things one doesn't like is a form of misleading, and thus lying, and thus violence.
We are copying the reference to the data, not the data itself. The reference to the data lasts for the lifetime of the program. Generational box lets you insert data that last for shorter than the lifetime of the program (as long as that data contains no references). Once you drop the data you inserted, we reuse the box for other allocations.

It uses a very similar approach to a generational arena but with boxes instead of a centralized arena (to avoid locking issues). If you try to access the Copy reference to the data after it has been dropped, it will fail with a nice error message
I don’t know if I disagree, because I have not thought seriously about the risk/reward.

My point along with the grand parent is that at a certain point it is more costly than it is worth in deterrence. And the data backs that up, generally.

But what that point is, I have no idea.
Maybe we don't dream as much as we used to.
Any of the VR Virtual Desktop apps are certainly done in UnrealEngine or the like, but I think it's really just a virtual display for your computer and the 'desktop engine' is still windows if I'm interpreting your comment correctly.
It seems like such a lazy take. Lots of incredibly popular books were published during terrible times in history, why would this be different?
It will also give the enablers of criminality pause. If the mastermind gets 20-25, they'll realize they are risking 2-5 year sentences with zero upside just for "following orders" or negligently turning a blind eye to malfeasance.

This is a bit strange because Japan effectively went NUTS for the game Wizardry. Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior, Phantasy Star and a LOT of other CRPGs are basically Wizardry and/or Ultima with an anime plot and graphics. I'm leaving out at least 20 other multi-game CRPG/JRPGs series and of course probably a 100 standalone/one-offs.

It could be that the localized / socially targeted CRPGs simply muscled out the Western-aligned TSR stuff rapidly once the formula was identified by the Japanese companies.
No, but it is worth considering what might be possible for a malicious actor in the near future, considering how disastrous this single collision is (which could have been significantly worse in lives lost had it been in the middle of the day).
I would easily go to jail for 8 years for $50+ million. 25 years would not be worth it to me for any amount.

I am from El Paso, which is on the border with Mexico and grew up with many kids whose parents were smugglers and cartel affiliated.

I know several parents who went to jail for ~10 years while were were in elementary school, the kids never wanted for anything, and then when the parents got out and started capital intensive business.

One parent did 12 years and got out to start a a series of high end mexican restaurants, one started a steakhouse, one bought a small hotel, one started a commercial construction company.

It's all part of the game, just how startup founders grind for years for the money.
> I have to ask: does 20 years provide more social benefit than 10? 5? Surely there's diminishing returns on imprisonment.

Arguably, the social benefit is to deter more major crimes.

If all crimes were X year sentences, then once you comitted one crime you may as well continue, since the punishment is the same either way.

wouldn't a database be more efficient :-)
No neurons are the equivalent of transistors. Synapses are the equivalent of connections between transistors. The total neurons are about 100 Billion but the connections are 100 Trillion. A neuron can have up to 10,000 synapses, while a transistor can have on average only about 3. Impressive nonetheless on power efficiency.
Our company phishes its own employees, through a contract with an external security consultant. Hilariously, those emails include a special header that gives away their source. An engineering co-worker wrote a script that send them directly to the trash, even though we are supposed to send them to the consultant to "report the incident". Since there's zero reward/incentive from reporting them, most of the engineers don't bother with them anymore.

For the non-engineers, I imagine it's better for them to click on a test email and learn their lesson rather than clicking on a link from an actual phisher. We've had phishing attacks work in the past, so I suppose it's not a bad practice overall for non-technical employees.
Independent of this breaking/fixing, it's already known that DNA near the synapse (not necessarily in the neurons Soma) is modified via epigenetics to sustain the synapse at the new level.

So yes, DNA epigenetic changes near the synapse are a key part of maintaining the "weight" or strength of that particular connection. ("key part" phrase because there is a lot of complexity and they haven't nailed it all down, there could be other "key parts").
There is nothing "median" or "average" about this crime. This is one of the biggest financial frauds in U.S. history.

Agreed. The bookshelves have been full of terrible sci-fi for over a decade now. I have given up on the book sellers and the awards (Hugo, Nebula etc). I do read sci-fi almost every day though still. Almost all of it from Kindle Unlimited.

This is awesome!!! I'm really impressed with the demo. In particular, with how fast it seems to work given the number of models you use, the client-server back and forth, and the required processing and text gen. How did you do that? And at which point do you start to get bigger latencies e.g. writing an email, an essay, or a novel where you change the spelling of a character's name 2 chapters earlier.

I don't see how that is necessarily a dark pattern. It would be a dark pattern if they were saying that when they knew it would not make it in time.

But if most of the time they do make the deadline, and the times that they do not are caused by problems that arose unexpectedly after the order was places, it is not a dark pattern.
That's a good point. It may be possible to directly upload predicate-type info into a LLM. This could be especially useful if you need to encode tabular data.
Somewhere, someone probably read this and is thinking about how to export Excel or databases to an LLM.

It's encouraging to see people looking inside the black box successfully.
The other big result in this area was that paper which found a representation of a game board inside a LLM after the LLM had trained to play a game. Any other good results in that area?

The authors point out that LLMs are doing more than encoding predicate-type info. That's just part of what they are doing.
To what end? If the hack happens, I think it's much more likely that we see a string of assassinations that look like accidents, or kidnappings that don't look like vehicle-related skulduggery at all. It's just not as valuable if you pull the trigger all at once.
I work from home, so I like to move around the house during the day or even work outside, which is surprisingly great with AVP as there are no reflections on the screen. Also, my lounge chair is vastly more comfortable than my desk chair, and with AVP I can maintain a good posture while keeping my laptop on my lap.
So I agree, but my question next is what cars are you finding that meet this standard? Networks show up in cars quite early, not sure how far back I’d have to go to buy one that is suitably off grid.

I thought the “lost” money was simply due to poor accounting and actually found.

https://www.reuters.com/technology/sam-bankman-fried-be-sent...

Clearly the real crime is bilking investors out of their money. It’s also questionable whether they even ended up losing money given the rising price of crypto in the past year. It’s also interesting how this happened:

> when it filed for bankruptcy after traders pulled $6 billion from the platform in three days and rival exchange Binance abandoned a rescue deal.

https://www.reuters.com/technology/bankrupt-crypto-exchange-...

So basically the traders did a bank run and Sam ended up going to jail. It’s interesting that by contrast SVB leaders didn’t face any repercussions because they were part of the established ways of doing things even though that ended up being very costly for the government.

I think the problem is not so much that the stories feature characters who are not white men, but more so that they've completely saturated the market for those IPs.

At this point, in the Star Wars and Marvel universes, it all feels pretty formulaic. The stories have already been told, but now they have to keep producing something in order to make this quarter's earnings numbers. None of it feels essential to watch.
Depends on what you're using your cluster for. When you're big enough it's worth just treating the database like any other job and running it on the cluster, but this can be tricky to get right. For small K8s deployments many people choose to outsource the database to their cloud provider and have it separate from the cluster as there are fewer things that can go wrong.
If you think that’s “hard left”, it suggests you might want to reconsider your media diet. Two of those are statements of fact and the last two are definitely left but not exactly that far out of the mainstream even in the United States.

Don’t you sound so narcissistic?

Was Roman Empire obsessed with sexuality when it was its peak?

Was the western empire today obsessed with sexuality or more conservative when it was the superpower in the world?

Western people project their trauma with Catholicism to all cultures and traditions for some reason and they think they owe their development to abandoning norms and just having public orgies in SF streets.

When people think of west these days they think about pee and drug smelling dirty streets and collective madness of making all kinds of weird sexual acts public.

The superiority of West of now is pure narcissism. High skilled people now prefer working remotely if they have to work for a western company, instead of moving there permanently.

If you wanted those kinds of banking protections, then you should have used a currency system that has those protections. Bitcoin is "easy" because it is unregulated, but the flip side of that is that you the consumer get no protection, and you shouldn't expect any.
> Cloud services are costly but in most cases you'll pay similar cost in terms of time and in some cases lot more if you pick something complex that you don't know about.

Even just something like EC2 instances is costly - and a surprising amount of stuff in the cloud is just containers or EC2 instances, before redundancy even. Adding in specialized services makes things even more costly.

Problem is that nowadays it's hard to find a team that knows how to properly handle hardware - if you manage to get a handful of people that know how to do that cloud is only sensible for very few edge cases.

And as the article states - in many cases you probably don't even need all that fancy from K8s. I can for the cost of using K8s cloud stuff just put a second copy of our hardware in a different DC (or maybe even a third one), and just fail between DCs if needed. Way simpler setup, and excludes a lot of failure cases I'd catch with a K8s setup.
I agree we should ticket anyone who is blocking the box and I wish they still enforced those fines/points. But as drivers become increasingly lawless, especially in NYC, being the only person following the law can make you and the people around you less safe. Similar to driving in a developing country, driving safely in NYC requires learning the actual rules of the road which are not the same as the legal rules.

(Personally I avoid driving and biking in midtown these days because I am uncomfortable breaking the law, but when I do have to choose between following the law and operating safely I choose the latter.)
sounds good, thanks!
Yes.

As you can see this ID currently has "WG state In WG Last Call" which means the Working Group were asked if they have any final stuff that needs changing. After this it could enter a state where it needs word smithing, or it could even just get sent to the IESG and then there's an opportunity for the wider community to chime in.

[Keep in mind though, the IETF's RFCs don't dictate what gets done, we're agreeing engineering documents here, the implementations do in fact already exist and are in use for some systems, they might change to adopt any hypothetical change in the final RFC, or equally the RFC might be wrong, there's one for how HTTP Cookies should work and it describes how a working group decided they should work - but they just kept working the way they had before anyway]
> Citation needed.

I'm wondering as well. My guess: these practices are not mandated by law, but by industry "standards" that are part of contractual agreements, and required by a customer or an insure company, for example. Some of those standards are good, some are a pure product of bad bureaucracy...
LocalPV supports ZFS Snapshots.

I use k8s in a very small setup (3 worker nodes, 3 ctrl planes) in my startup. But i'm working professionally with k8s for 6 years.

My setup is relative big but also relative simple and most of it is also IaC. I don't need to backup my setup and i don't need to document how i setup everything.

I have blue/green deployment, multiply enviorrnments (dev, test, prod) configured 100% equal, a good monitoring stack + tracing, s3 replication, postgresql ha and offside backup.

i can shut down a node and nothing happens.

But you know, if k8s doesn't fit your time and experience and benefit estimation, don't use it.

The upfront cost of k8s is bigger though.
