Clear signal that you can't justify the overheads. 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.
This is completely wrong re: tabletop which is in its first golden age right now almost exclusively because it is now much more accessible.

I have a friend who studied this academically, and the act of roleplaying is especially popular among people questioning themselves and their place in society.

As for the lack of risks, check out itch.io for new table top RPGs, there's never been more variety! Its a really exciting time for it, with tons of new voices doing interesting things, with games ranging from super crunchy tactics to super free form one-page narrative games, and everything in between.

Personally I think it's a weak take. The current tech landscape is mostly depressing because of addictive social media corroding the cultural sphere.

Generalizing that into 'tech is depressing' is understandable since it is literally designed to occupy our attention, but I don't think it's an accurate view of the world.

I don’t think there is any crime whatsoever that imprisoning someone for more than ten years would be reasonable or productive.

If jailing someone for a decade doesn’t do it, nothing will.

It seems purely vindictive at some point. The justice system should not be vindictive.
So many good comments are there, I doubt whether you will be able to digest that information and come to proper conclusion.
Entreprenual itch and nervousness about irreparable damage can not co exist. If during your FT job , you have saved enough as somebody said to sustain yourself for 2-5 years and do not have serious debt then to avoid regret at deathbed, go for it .
Age also matters , if it is not now , then forget about starting your own business and accept that it is not for you .

Does his jail time do anything that helps his victims other than make them feel good? Are there other ways he could make reparations?
I think it seems low because of the magnitude of the crime. Also because we punish more violent crimes with very harsh sentences including charging non-violent perpetrators with violent crimes(Felony Murder).

Add in the desire to be seen as doing something with sentencing inflation and your get multiple hundred year sentences.

At first I felt that 25 years was short but thinking about it, he will be ~60 when he gets out... so maybe not too short.

One way to do this right is to do trainings first, inform employees about future campaigns, and to only ever use reports from phishing campaigns in the aggregate to improve the training.

Ouch! I hadn't heard of this before, and I gotta say I'm not a fan.

I agree with it only in principle; it seems ripe for injustice in all practical details.

If you maintain your innocence, is that a lack of remorse? Can you be any kind of 'model citizen' in prison - engaging in charity or volunteer work? Who brings the +5 year charge or provides evidence for it? The prison staff who don't find your personable, or the shrink who doesn't think you're taking the sessions seriously (if shrink visits in prison exist)?

This got me double checking myself, but it does seem that a typical "common versus rare" threshold is a rate of 5%, though other values like 1% and 10% are sometimes used. Based on this, I'll concede that it might be common for an incident to make the daily news (if there's one a week, so 1/7 chance) but I stand by my claim that trips with such incidents are extremely uncommon relative to all trips.

A friend of mine got roughly half this sentence (12 years) for possession of cocaine with intent to sell. To be fair, was a large amount of cocaine and she 100% intended to sell it. However, she lost 10 years of her life (after good behavior) for being in possession of a < $1m worth of a regulated substance. Not sure how that fits on the spectrum against stealing $8b, but it all seems pretty disproportionate to me.
I think intent matters. I don't like what he did but I am convinced he didn't think he was doing something deceitful. Whereas Madoff had a guilty conscience and precisely crafted something intended to deceive.
Yeah, I agree. This should fall under “caveat emptor”. Everyone using unregulated exchanges (which IMO should be an option for everyone) should recognize that they are subject to additional risks (and benefits).

The government shouldn’t outlaw free climbing either.

It’s your own fault if you treat a bunch of foolish kids with millions of dollars the same way you would an onshore FDIC-insured regulated bank.

Maybe look at something like the Locus list of 2023 books. SF is such a broad genre that you are better off finding reviewers or other sources who you can use to guess at what you might like.
Heh. We have had tons of these in Spain in the 70's/80's. Cheap pulp detective novels rehashed as scifi ones, and Far West tales converted into cheap police/action 'a dime' novels. More than often the same author covered several genres with very little.
Would you still read the Ainulindalë and Valaquenta first, or would you save those for last?

I would also add that the chapter "Of Beleriand and its Realms" is OK to skip if it's not your thing, especially on a first read. It's mostly just describing what's on the map (of course it's still well written in Tolkien's prose). There are plenty of people that enjoy it, and there are plenty that don't.
No-code AI tool for tedious dev tasks
Hi all - at Autonoma (getautonoma.com) we're launching a feature in stealth mode for testing.

Noticing the challenges companies face with poor quality code in production, we've developed this solution.

It allows users to set their own quality rules, criterias and standards for code (such as coding standards, best practices, potential bugs, etc) which we then check and suggest how to meet them in a selected codebase.

Would love your feedback on its functionality, UX, use cases, and more!
I enjoy reading things like this. It’s posts like this that have helped me build my command line text processing skills over the years.

If you are early in your career, I suggest you work on these types of skills. It is surprising how often I have found myself on a random box that I needed to parse application logs “by hand”. This happens to me even in fancy, K8-rich environments.
If you worked (not just starting, please don't make a company if so) in tech you should have large enough savings to be able to do what rrr_oh_man is proposing.
K8s requires either a (small) ops team to run it or using a hosted cloud solution. It's powerful and pays off when you have this, but if you can't afford to pay for the cloud hosting or hiring a team to do it, you're not going to get the benefits, you're not the target market.

Many products have a minimum size at which they are effective, no one is buying an Oxide rack for their homelab or side project, no startup going through YC is buying an IBM mainframe, because they are both obviously nowhere near the minimum effective size/complexity/spend. K8s is the same, and yet it seems to trip up so many people.
FizzBee: A Python like language for formal specification
To be clear, we're talking about Roberta Draper here right?
Iowa is seeing a “disappearing middle” due to farm consolidation - small farms are staying about the same but the largest farms are growing in size by eating medium sized farms.

Currently 50% of Iowa farmland is owned by the 8.7% of farms that are large enough it would take between 20 days to 6 months to harvest with a single combine (the 200 very largest farms are 7700 acres on average, a combine harvests 50-75 acres of corn per day). Some of these farms you’d likely want 10+ combines to harvest corn in the peak window.

So these farms are looking at $10-100 million in farmland alone, and another $1-10 million in combines.

An acre of Iowa cornfield costs $11,400 and yields $170-350 profit per acre depending on the year. Profits are on the low end right now. So the smaller “large farms” that start at 1,000 acres would be expected to earn a profit of $170,000-350,000 per year on $10 million of land.

I agree, but I think it's even more subversive. Large corporations tend to develop internal fiefdoms with rules that aren't always aligned with the larger company's objectives. These fiefdoms develop unspoken rules, which competent people tend to question. "Why are we padding every task by 75%?" "Why are we saying X tasks are 'hard' and require additional staffing when we know they're easy?" These new unspoken rules misalign rewards.

Competent individuals often question practices like these and are either coerced into submission or shown the door. This leads to a gradual subversion of the corporate culture, transforming what was once agile, resourceful, and, importantly, truthful into a culture of internal lies and self-deception. "Everyone lies on this report, so you must too. Everyone exaggerates their evaluations, so you must as well. Everyone inflates sales predictions by many multiples; you must do the same." Rewards given under the de-facto misaligned system favors the incompetent. This further estranges competence from leveling.

Just looking at it on my phone, you need to "enable scripting" in Settings > Shortcuts > Advanced. Then when you add the shortcut, you can select password authentication or SSH Key. If you use a key, it generates one for you, and there is a button to "copy public key" which you'll then need to add to authorized_keys on your server. I assume the private key is stored locally on the device.

> If anything, it's excessive if you consider the nature of the crime relative to the nature of murder or kidnapping.

The value of a single human life is not infinite. In engineering and public policy, a value like $10 million / life is typically used to make trade-offs. SBF stole funds far in excess of that.

Secondly, when funds of this scale are stolen, inevitably people wind up dying early from things like stress, and suicides.

I think the whole premise of TFA is flawed, as there already chips with way more than a trillion transistors (as GP points out).

Arguing about what is the size limit to consider something a GPU or not is a bit like bikeshedding.

As to why wouldn't a supercomputer be considered for this? Because it's not a single chip.
and how we'll find a way to soak up all those transistors for a perhaps actually worse user experience / societal outcome.
But you understand that as it is an aspect of the legal system, and one that is usually defined higher in the legal hierarchy that it can't be a thing that is defined later, right?

You shouldn't misuse words like you're intentionally doing. Why not go all the way and call it rape or something.
> Well, what about their victims? How many people's financial futures were destroyed by SBF? Is it fair to all those people that he will get to live a normal life?

That sounds more like retribution than justice. I.E. wanting to cause him pain because he caused pain in others.

Of course, i don't have a better answer by any means.

People also commit suicide if the bank repossesses their home, their spouse has an affair, their surgeon makes an error, etc.

I’m not saying that SBF has no culpability, but I don’t think you should get prison time for causing someone’s suicide, or at least society doesn’t act as if it’s in any way equivalent to murder.
SBF is 32 years old. If (and it's a big if) he serves the entire 25 years, he will be 57 when he is free again. They are taking the best years of his life, and one day when he dies, having been imprisoned will be the defining event of his life - not being rich or being a CEO.

He may never marry, never have children, and will experience a very different (and far worse) life than most of the population. I have very little sympathy for the man, and I know draconian punishment is fashionable and cathartic, but I personally think this is a very suitable punishment for the very severe crime he committed.
tabletop publishing is a viper's den of liars, bullies and trolls who live by the mantra of "cancel or be cancelled". I'm not going to bring up individuals and wade into that controversy but "The Worst People You Have Never Met" is a great summary of what's out there.

And despite everything going on in the industry right now, D&D is still an enormous, inescapable gravity well. I would say even more so than 20 years ago. We have more games and better games than ever, but I had an easier time finding groups to play not-D&D then versus now. Across multiple cities.

I have over a thousand role playing books in my collection, was very involved in The Forge when it mattered, have been a vendor at the biggest RPG conventions and know lots of authors and artists in the industry. probably half of the popular systems out there right now I have played with some of their creative teams --- not exactly a clueless normie here.
I was wondering about that too. To answer that question we'd need normalized numbers, e.g. sci-fi as a percentage of total sales. It does seem likely that people who read sci-fi 20 or 50 years ago are now gaming, tinkering or cosplaying.
In the UK bookshops, helpfully put sci-fi books in the "Sci-Fi AND Fantasy" section. Because, of course, people that want to read about aliens and FTL want to wade through hundreds of vampire-werewolf-human-love-triangle books first.
