I agree 100%. You want to operate outside the law? That's fine with me, but you gotta accept the risks. However, that means you have to be extra-judicious about who you operate with. I've found it funny to hear crypto proponents scream about how the government needs to prosecute him yet they'll turn right back around and demand that the government needs to have less regulation and taxation of crypto.
It is not clear at this point whether or not the current military activity will be followed with settlements. There are certainly calls for that among some Israelis, even among high ranking members of the Israeli government. We should take those seriously.

Only weeks following oct 7. Netanyahu announced new settlements in the Gaza envelope, meaning the part of Israel within rocket range from Gaza. There have been documented cases of Israel expending the buffer zone on the Palestinian side of the boarder wall. I would certainly call that expansion, even though the settlements them selves are within Israel’s territory, their security infrastructure results in land being taken away from Palestine.
Anticipatory Anxiety and Wishful Thinking
I doubt it. Digital just scales better.

Our brain has a pretty bounded need of scaling, but once we create some computer equivalent, it would be very counterproductive to make it useless for larger problems for a small gain on smaller ones.
The top voted comment in that topic is also saying "For everyone on this thread making broad proclamations about how SBF won't go to jail", yes? Implying quite a few people held that opinion here?
From what I've heard, sci-fi is popular in China nowadays.

I read a remark somewhere, maybe on HN, that a nation's output of sci-fi seems to correlate with whether or not they are in a boom. Does this ring true to you guys?

I'm not deeply into sci-fi (I wish I read more) but I think it could be true. America had their famous boom after WWII of course, and the Chinese have had every reason to be optimistic for the past decades.

I also wonder if there's a correlation with output of historical fiction. Reaching back into the past.

IMHO the breakthrough will come with an analog computer.

The current systems simulate stuff through computation using switches.

It’s like real sand vs sand simulator in the browser. One spins your fans and drains your battery when showing you 1000 particles acting like sand, the other just obeys laws of physics locally per particle and can do millions of particles much more accurately and with very slight increase in temperature.

Of course, analog computations are much less controllable but in this case that’s not a deal breaker.
I find your points quite interesting. If I'm understanding correctly, that if the victims, families of victims, or frankly, anyone who feels pain and wants to seek retribution, don't believe that the retribution is sufficient, then they may take action into their own hands. I witnessed this living in Tanzania, where if people didn't trust the police to arrest and punish someone who stole, sometimes the people would track down and seek mob justice (violence?) against the person who stole.

So if the government would take a true rehabilitative approach, and maybe arrest people but treat them well, try to help them so they don't do the same behaviors in the future, a percentage of the population might see that as insufficient and take retribution into their own hands.

You've helped me realize why I've actually shifted my professional focus from wanting to change politics to wanting to change culture. Seems a lot of being in government is doing what the people want, and if the people want retribution, then the government has to follow it.

I hope for (and am working towards) a world in which we help people know our pain not by trying to cause the same pain to them, but by expressing our pain to them with more granularity, because the pain they'd feel as a result of retribution will never be the exact same pain we feel, as our contexts are way too complex to replicate exactly.

I really appreciate your comment, thank you for helping me think more deeply about this.
The smaller players already avoid America like the plague and their avoidance is only increasing due to a zealous SEC decreasing the likelihood of successful prosecutions. Big cases make the biggest difference because diplomatic pressure can be applied, which is why it's a shame that the US flexed on the Bahamas like they did for a case that only gets 25 years.
Yes can run the whole thing through a set of AWS lambdas, pull basic sec platform alerts from your GSuite and so on, dump all them into slack webhooks, dump into slack sec channels, align any sec IR processes to you Ops IR processes which you’ll need anyway.

From there, be disciplined about password managers early, get on at least separate OS logins if still doing BYOD, link up 2FA via Google auth, and figure out your email infra and where the root email that matters for infra is. Enterprise sec up and running.
FWIW people have a viceral reaction to extremes of violence that they can comprehend.

When you consider that a 1% unemployment rate increase generally correlates to ~5,000 deaths then you can consider gross financial negligence to have an actual tangible human mortality cost.

We just don't, because it's too indirect and your laywer would argue confounding factors until you are all dead; but don't be mistaken: financial crimes do cost lives.
I didn't read any sympathy in that comment, they just seem to be pointing out that 25 years is not a "low" sentence.

I would also agree that spending a 3rd of your life in prison is in effect destroying it.
Nope, I'm saying don't use X at all, because enums are not the right thing to use to solve this problem. This solution of magic comments and a precompiler is worse than not using enums at all.

> I think the problem is not so much that the stories feature characters who are not white men

It's easy to read what I'm saying that way but that's not really it. It's more about who the authors are and who the awards committees bend over backwards to exclude.

There's been tons of Hugo Award controversies related to authors, excluded authors and content the last....15 years or so. (Although, to be fair, controversy and Hugos go back as long as the awards have been around).

In scifi literature the formulaic over-told stories aren't even being published anymore. It's more like stuff that's barely even science fiction...

Again, the sales numbers show that the classics in the genre are still selling. It's the new content that isn't moving.
The regime occasionally must sacrifice one of its own to grant the appearance of fairness to its politically-motivated prosecutions of its opponents.
>> The benefit is the deterrent

That’s utterly useless. There is simply no way any sociopath gives one iota about it.
That or most of the things we thought were sci-fi are sci-fantasy. "Actually no, we can't rip open wormholes in space".

This said, the converse may be true. "The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction must make sense". There is such a massively huge amount of fiction now that it's like being tossed into the middle of the Pacific without a raft. We're not looking for an escape from reality INTO technology. It's more likely we are looking for an escape from reality FROM technology.
If you conduct criminal activity while employed, you conducted criminal activity. You can't just walk into work at 8am, kill someone at 9am, and go home at 5. You still did the crime, and can be prosecuted for it.

So let me rephrase your question: can a US citizen file some papers internationally that would permit them to conduct criminal activities in the US against other US citizens.

The answer should not be surprising.
As it turns out had this happened in the middle of the day we might have been able to avoid all of the casualties. The harbor pilot managed to call shore early enough to have the bridge closed before the ship hit, so the only casualties were an extremely unlucky pothole crew who didn't get the warning in time.
Using crypto with or as a custodian never had that standard you are referring to.

Fascinating level of cognitive dissonance that is prevalant in this thread. It’s a mixture of conflating competing ideas, and strawman arguments to discredit crypto users.

Custodians are subject to liability based on their own citizenship, the citizenship of their clients, and the location of the infrastructure being used, it doesn't matter what type of asset is involved.

Dang, we should really flag these non sequitur posts on every crypto thread that appears on HN, we’re almost 20 years in and the discussion level is a large aberration lower compared to other tech topics on HN and other dev and enthusiast crypto forums still, when it should be the opposite. flagging practically everything would promote more substantive discussions by making that point to otherwise well adjusted people, and surfacing the things that work well within crypto to people that otherwise aren’t exposed to that.
> I agree with it only in principle; it seems ripe for injustice in all practical details.

Yep, instead of "you definitely get out of prison after X years have passed" you instead get "you get out of prison in 21 years! (or never, depending on how we feel)".

I don't know where you get your claims from, but if you look at user ratings on imdb [1] then SNW is the only new show to even come close to the old ones. Interestingly enough, it also comes closest to the original values and themes. So I guess it is actually you who seems to be in a minority.

Brian Peck was unfortunately allowed to plead "No Contest" rather then being brought to trial or pleading guilty.

I can't find the case but he was also probably charged by the state rather than the Feds.
I never understood what office hours were for. In college, I felt like it was better to just spend a few hours working on homework problems, how could anyone explain this stuff to me if I couldn't learn it on my own?

I TA'd some classes also (as an undergrad and grad student) and tried to help people with their homework, but in the back of my head I couldn't help but feel that it wasn't the the most effective approach.

I can imagine some things that I don't grock yet (like some computer graphics algorithms that I just cargo cult, or machine learning in general), maybe this is blocking me from learning them, I just need to ask someone who knows it to explain the intuition to me?

A pro-tip for using the OpenAI API is to not use the official Python package for interfacing with it. The REST API documentation is good, and just using it in your HTTP client of choice like requests is roughly the same LOC without unexpected issues, along with more control.
An unfortunately reasonable excuse is the ever-increasing complexity of the systems most people access. Trying to host something on my pocketable computer with cellular access ranges from nightmarish to impossible, for no good reason. And that's even on the Linux-based option (Android).

Honestly? I sincerely doubt you, or anyone would actually, really, for realsies, go to prison for eight years for $50M. Anyone would beg to be released after a few weeks.
Jeff Landry in Louisiana said that the universities should produce “skilled labor” rather than research with the implication that all the people who had the nous to start a business in this state have already done so.
Those people are mostly hypocrites.

Your complaint would be solved with less gray area.

Businesses outside of the US should be able to do business with US citizens _without_ the consent of the US government. This comes with the caveat that if you, the customer, reject the "protection" of the US government, you are completely and totally SOL if things go south.

> If you think, "of course not"...

And if you think it sounds reasonable?

While there's some benefit (deterrence) to there being perceived costs to bad behaviour, it's arguable whether punishment for the sake of punishment stands up on its own merits.

In your proposed world, where murderousness is recognised as a treatable illness, it doesn't really seem reasonable to punish to punish or to imprison as a deterrent.
That was known and the board allowed it. I am on the fence about this because this kind of fraud is team effort. The board and the investors avert their eyes for things that are unethical or even illegal because the "founder" is the golden goose that can do no wrong. They also seem to like being lied to.

"Due diligence" is a dirty phrase in that world. They are geniuses, man. Movers and shakers!

I wonder how the measure they measure the deterrence effect, it seems impossible to me. It would be a society-wide thing (hard to come up with an isolated experiment) and it seems like something where people would bring in a ton of bias.
No, 100 years ago there was all of this brand new fundamental science and technology and it was easy to imagine things that could be... today we're in the late stages of filling in all the gaps, we've explored all of the spaces and the most exciting things we could imagine are the things we already have working somewhat better than they already do. The scifi that gets made is either fantasy (this will never exist because it's impossible) or retro-futurism (old scifi imagining, essentially, the present).

Its the US Government courts who are handling FTX's bankruptcy. So at a minimum, they are expecting the USA Government to figure out how to split the money / clawback what they can and untangle the mess of the balance sheets (rumor has it: a completely non-existent set of documentation in the case of FTX).
SBF was a top political donor in Washington. I expect a pardon by the end of this year.
I'll kill your daughter, scatter her remains on the road, take the drug, and see if you think otherwise.

Think about it. Under this hypothetical (which I think is OK, everybody does Trolly Problems all the time), you should be just fine with this result. The deterrence value is there (10% chance of death), I've been rehabilitated permanently so I can be let out a week after I did the murder, it's all good. I might as well add some torture to the mix as well, because the drug will perfectly rehabilitate that too, of course, so it doesn't really matter how I did it either.
He doesnt understand. For him its just "quit tiktok lul". kinda embarassing

Yeah, I really think comparing common street crime with high financial crime is Apples and Oranges. Common criminals don’t have much to lose, yes going to prison sucks, but it means less when you live in low income housing with other people, can’t afford basic shit and/or are in significant mental distress. On the other hand Financial criminals usually have a LOT to lose, and to get into the position to commit those crimes they likely have a degree of rationality that’s less guaranteed than in street crime.

Frankly, I think we need a lot more of this kind of punishment to get more trust back into our high-trust society. More rich people need to go to prison for crimes against society, because honestly it feels more like Madoff and SBF were one offs rather than business as usual.

That's the best part of x86-64. From a laptop to a large number of enterprise servers (or at least any I use) you're essentially dealing with the same stuff. I think Pi's were the first non x86-64 architecture I'd dealt with to any degree.

OK- there were some SPARC servers but that was a while ago - and they were honestly never any fun.
In YDB with block 4+2 erasure coding, you need half the disk space compared to mirror-3-dc schema. Meanwhile CPU usage is just a little bit higher, thus in high throughput tests mirror-3-dc wins. Indeed as mentioned in the post there might be a tail latency win in latency runs, but if your task is throughput with a reasonable latencies, replication might be a better choice.

Gotta hire some physicists, and pay them great salaries to get them away from the kind of contributions to society they like doing... If you paid me $400k++++ a year to do it, I could go wild coming up with seemingly plausible, as well as just on the edge of disbelief required from STEM educated people, sci Fi technologies.

The problem really is those who have the background to do it are (1) struggling to survive in the current market with their degrees without selling out to finance, (2) desiring to contribute to the compendium of human knowledge... So yeah, to get some solid sci-fi ideas you would have to share an alluring slice of the pie... The people who could do it, aren't going to do it for salaries comparable to those in their fields, or even 20-30% above their salaries. It's gotta be multiples with some level of security in the long term.
>> 100 trillion synapses (very roughly analogous to transistors?)

Not even remotely comparable

* its unlikely synapses are binary. Candidly they probably serve more than one purpose.

* transistor count is a bad proxy for other reasons. A pipeline to do floats are not going to be useful for fetch from memory. "Where" the density lies is important.

* Power: On this front transistors are a joke.

* The brain is clockless, and analog... frequency is an interesting metric

Binary systems are going to be bad at simulating complex processes. LLM's are a simulation of intelligence, like forecasting is a simulation of weather. Lorenz shows us why simulation of weather has limits, there isnt some magical math that will change those rules for ML to make the leap to "AGI"

I would love more manufacturers to open up the firmware on devices like these. Leave default safeguards in place from the factory, but allow tinkering.

Cheap, hackable stuff helps get new people interested in radio, especially if it can be managed using tools people might already be familiar with like WebSerial.

It is ridiculous that finance owns such an outsized position in our economy, with the wizards of finance hailed for their key role in the efficient performance of the economy rewarded to the tune of megabillionaires...

and people will say with a straight face that defrauding large numbers of people of their money might not have numerous health / fatal consequences: anxiety, stress, divorce, loss of benefits, working longer past retirement.

It's like saying Mafia bosses or Hitler or Stalin weren't violent and dangerous because they ordered the deaths of millions with a stroke of a pen.
I get your point, the claim was incorrect. But if you're only beaten by Salvador, Cuba, Rwanda, Turkmenistan, and American Samoa... Well, maybe the overall point stands: "Highest in the world" is hyperbole, that much is true, but the USA has an insanely high rate of incarceration, higher than most countries, and definitely higher than all "developed" countries. As a point of comparison, the next OECD member on that list is Turkey, which has about 34% fewer prisoners per 100k people than the USA.
