I didn't find any other recent publication about it. I first read the response from BSI.
lets go! great team. loved using eggnog so far
Not nearly the same thing. You're not going to get addicted to ADHD prescription stimulants unless you take much, much, much more (several orders of magnitude at least) than the prescribed dose. Not the case with opioids.
There were lots of projects at Apple that never made it off the ground.

When I was there in '88-'90 I remember seeing a few prototypes of their Mobius computer - an ARM-based system that emulated an Apple II much faster, and was (unfortunately) faster than a Mac II in native mode. It got canned before they ever got around to designing a case for it, but folks who had the prototypes kept them for quite a while.
Gruber also lies about having invented markdown, which was actually invented by Aaron Swartz in 2002 (http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/atx/intro.html). Gruber just wrote a little perl script called Markdown.pl in 2004, but after Swartz's suicide in 2013, he pretended that he had come up with the whole thing, and has been using it to market himself ever since. Truly repugnant behavior.
> Sam Bankman Fried stole billions of dollars [1], probably often around $1000 at a time from tens of thousands of people. If going with my logic, he should be getting a lot longer than 25 years, upwards of hundreds or thousands of years.

Apparently that logic applied to Bernie Madoff. He got 150 years. How are these cases so similar and yet got radically different sentences?
How much ad time does it take to pay back the (compute) cost of making AI videos? I feel like other video hosting sites like Youtube, Vimeo, etc, are already struggling to serve enough ads to turn a profit (without so many that they drive viewers away), and they don't have to pay anything for the videos.
If you ever used Rust I am sure you already are aware of one major reason for the discrepancy, which surprisingly has nothing to do with the language. The tooling around rust is just so much better.

CMake, include conflicts, dependency management, etc. either don't exist or are all much less painful in rust. There is just so much annoying stuff that you do not have to deal with when using it.

There isn't really much revolutionary that rust the language does. Explicitly having to describe the behavior of memory takes getting used to, but lifts some weight of your shoulders. Other than that it has a somewhat better, and less verbose, syntax than C++. But that really is it.
Why would I choose notepad++ over something like vim or emacs? Is there a compelling differentiator?
As other people have pointed out here, he has the possibility of getting out in 12.5 years.

That means he might miss his chance to have kids. Having your first kid at 38 is old, I should know.

That means, ironically, he will be prevented from self imposed financial ruin, which is to say, trying to raise children in the US, especially as someone who came from the opulence of the bay area. Can you imagine the cost of trying to keep up with the Joneses when those are your peers.

It seems like a fair punishment for him would actually be to force him to have kids and have to work as a janitor in silicon valley until they graduate from community college. That would really be teaching him to experience the financial ruin he imposed on others.

</sarcasm>
There are modern systems that still use this sort of modular backplane design. MicroTCA and PXIe are the two major ones, both providing at least power and a PCIe bus on the backplane. MicroTCA supports carrying Ethernet, SATA, and PCIe on the backplane. However both of these are more intended for industrial computing. I could see a consumer variation based on MicroTCA where the chassis has a pre installed controller and backplane. The backplane would be configurable based on the CPU you are running. Higher end CPU would allow for more PCIe lanes meaning more slots, lower end would only allow for a few slots. The computer part is provided by a heavily packaged SBC containing a processor and memory. Mass storage either sits on the SBC as m.2 or as a chassis card connected via SATA or PCIe. You'd have a GPU card connected to a x16 slot (up to two of these for a large chassis). High end sound card sits on another slot. Various interface cards sit on others. You could even drop in an FPGA accelerator card.

This would all probably be too expensive for your average consumer though.
As a German, I have never heard that name, but your translation is about correct.

"Rat" as in "advice" is spelled with a T, but the name might be older than that spelling.
White-collar criminals doing fed time are serving "easier" time than those in state prisons.

That said, I've personally known of two people who were convicted of DWI vehicular manslaughter, and they both received 15-year sentences, so 26 months seems to be an aberration.
Provided you are broadcasting within bands you have license for, under the power limits for that band/license, and it's not encrypted... yea, you're good.

Historically the FCC hasn't care about modding radios, until people start doing illegal shit with them... like broadcasting FM on AM Airband freq's
Is there a way to disable the save prompt?
The judge can take into consideration during sentencing conduct not explicitly charged. Heck they can take into consideration things you have been acquitted over by a jury too.

That is right (I'm telling you how the law is, not how it should be) A jury can decide that it was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that you did something and yet you can still receiver a heavier sentence for it. (as long as they don't acquit you over all charges.)
>a guy in my hometown hit and killed 2 people, while DUI and ran over 100mph on a local street with 35mph limit

What was his plan? What did he expect to earn from this action? And now, who would plan to DUI because they believe it's worth a 26-month sentence?

SBF knew what we was doing and did it knowingly. He thought he wouldn't be caught and earn a few extra billions. Unless we was drunk all along…

It's about the long-term planning and the clear intent to choose a path with such a risk/reward ratio.
He donated far more to liberals and it’s a well known. Nobody on the right wants to see him walk free.
Become a Senior Engineer (Free Newsletter)
Hey HN, author Aken Roberts here. I'm having massive imposter syndrome posting my newsletter here, but I can only gain from the experience so let's go!

I'm writing a newsletter for engineers seeking a Senior++ level. Content is framed as how a Senior approaches said topic, ranging from soft skills to specific technologies and problems.

I'm not a FAANG 10x-er, and I think that's a good perspective to showcase. You can be a successful senior engineer without a top tech company, as I have experienced.

Hope to meet some of you along the way. If you have any requests or suggestions for topics to write about, I'm all ears.
This looks interesting. A common complaint about the Baofengs is that they transmit significant unwanted harmonics outside the intended frequency. Do these radios have this issue as well?

I'm very excited about the prospect of more radios that can be easily programmed with mainstream languages such as Python / Rust / C++. Hopefully this becomes a stronger trend going forward.
It'll serve as a deterrent in the same way that Bernie Madoff's case did?
The comment is meant to separate the hardware from the protections possible in software. TKey provides a unique secret per device, that transforms into a unique secret per (device + program-binary + user-secret). So, protection against swapped device is possible, just not if you simply check if the device is genuine.

Programs are loaded every time the device is connected by transmitting it to the device. So, you could swap the program binary on the computer, and have it send a malicious binary. Again, a unique secret is assigned to a byte-exact program-binary, so this is detected in the process.

(edit: I'm assuming the device contains the original firmware. I'm referring to programs loaded onto the TKey once programmed. Just to check/avoid confusion.)

I don't think the banality of evil applies here. Banality of evil is when cogs in a bureaucratic machine don't think about how their actions hurt others, because they are just processing paperwork or following standard operating procedure. Regular people doing regular people things can do great evil.

In this case SBF was the architect and the driving force behind the fraud. He decided to comingle customers funds with business funds. He decided to trick banks into processing client money. He decided to split FTX into dozens of shell corporations to make effective oversight impossible. He decided to operate from Hong Kong and the Bahama's.

Banality of evil might apply to a junior engineer at FTX. It doesn't apply to SBF who masterminded the whole criminal enterprise.
And in exchange for this "safety valve" you get the potential for absolute and unreviewable corruption by giving one person the authority to arbitrarily override the judicial branch at will. And to do the same with the legislative branch through executive order.

If America mistrusts government so much that it wants the President to be a de facto monarch, it should just drop the pretense at being a republic and have a monarchy already. Or make the oligarchy official and elect a CEO in chief. At least then there's only one head for the CIA to put a bullet into.
By some accounts it takes a pretty sizable neural network to simulate a single neuron:

So we are going to need a lot of computational power to approximate what’s going on in an entire human brain.
Assuming there was aggressive enforcement against it, could someone “get away” with encrypted transmission sent in low-power alongside high-power unencrypted transmissions?

Like would a well-encrypted stream look indistinguishable to a bit of noise from a low-quality transceiver?

Totally underrated film that doesn’t get the praise it deserves.
My advice is to just turn the toolbar off (Settings -> Preferences -> General -> Toolbar -> Hide). I find it easier to skim through menus. You can turn off almost all of the extra UI elements if you want, which makes the interface very clean.
notepad++ was really great for simple syntax highlighting on windows, when good clients were either slow or costed money.

It supported a lot of languages.
This is interesting. It makes me think of an "immersion"[0], as in a generalization of the concept of "embedding" in differential geometry.

I share your uneasiness about mapping words to vectors and agree that it feels as if we're shoehorning some more complex space into a computationally convenient one.

Notepad++ is literally a better version of notepad.exe.
I would not consider using it for anything serious though.
I spent 25 years of my life without medication, it crippled my life and I couldn't get anything done unless absolutely, totally hyper focused on it. I don't even have high school. I failed at every job I had even though I won national programming competitions and everyone described me as the best programmer they ever met (and said that my technical knowledge is excellent but I'm just not doing the job so they have to let me go). I was homeless for some short time.

Up until I got diagnosed and medicated. First I had therapies, nothing. Then I had non-stimulant medication - worked but I had terrible side effects. Now I'm on methylphenidate and everything works like clockwork now.

Frankly I don't care about the theory behind it. It turned my life around and that's all I need to know.
I always wanted this. Notepad++ is an excellent editor but was always Windows only
Less than he should have gotten, but more than I thought he would get!

Why is Tarsnap pricing defined in picodollars?
There will be a lot of churn along the way, companies will all try various things and find strategies that work for them. I just think, on average, salaries for "western" software engineers will stay flat or trend down over the next decade.
Wanderlog is also really good for this type of thing: https://wanderlog.com/. I'm a pretty active user of it, but TripGeeks also looks cool
It's funny. I lost tens of thousands of dollars thanks to this individual, yet his sentence brings me no joy or arouses any emotion at all. I'm utterly indifferent to his fate for some reason and I don't know why. Yet if he had been a mugger who stole a much smaller amount of money from me on the street, I think I would've been far more vengeful.

Should I feel vindictive? Or is it healthy to forget about it and move on? I'm not sure.
I can't help but think it's ironic that he was sentenced while BTC is near its ATH.
There's multiple levels of "dependent".

I won't say there's never been a country that has fought for independence while simultaneously needing global trade for 100% of their food and water[0], but there definitely hasn't been a case of a country needing global trade for the literal oxygen they breathe.

Two moons colonies, one that has farms and one that doesn't, I would expect to have very different prospects.

[0] Though I've never heard of such a case, my history isn't good enough to make that claim. And no, mere famine isn't a strong enough example for this, those can be monstrously catastrophic without being existential.
https://globalnews.ca/news/9946242/ryan-salame-ftx-political...

> The purpose of those donations, he said, was to fund political initiatives supported by Bankman-Fried. In a criminal complaint unsealed Thursday, prosecutors said they had obtained private messages in which Salame wrote that Bankman-Fried wanted to support politicians in both parties who were “pro crypto,” while working to get “anti crypto” lawmakers out of office.

https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2023/09/07/ex-ftx-executive-...

> Salame doled out more than $24 million to Republican political candidates during his time at FTX, and he was the 11th largest individual U.S. political donor in 2022 according to OpenSecrets.org. In a court filing last month, prosecutors shared “private messages” from Salame that purport to show him explaining how he was used as a straw donor to secretly funnel money from FTX and Bankman-Fried.

https://qz.com/sam-bankman-fried-ftx-republicans-democrats-m...

> In one interview last November, Bankman-Fried admitted to donating roughly equal amounts to Democrats and Republicans but made sure that “all my Republican donations were dark.” He said he did this because he felt the press had a tendency to “freak” when donations were made to the Grand Old Party (GOP). At the 2022 midterm campaign funding cycle, he said he may have been the “second or third biggest” GOP donor.

Nobody on the left wants to see him walk free, either. His remaining political capital is nill. Politicians only care about rich donors if they remain rich donors.
I greatly miss those tool bars. I think it's ironic that modern UI strives to be less cluttered than ever before while computer monitors are larger than ever before.

* They encourage curiosity about previously undiscovered functionality. It improves feature discoverability.

* It's way easier to find the correct tool bar icon than trying to hunt for a feature inside the menus.

* If some toolbars are highlighted or disabled can tell you information about the state of the document you are editing.
And you are the one deciding for everyone?
I mean, the damage is done. Let's not condemn him for at least doing good now. Would you rather he did nothing at all?
Interesting data on the growth of angel investing during ZIRP and the 2020-2022 IPO window. If we see a bunch of IPOs in 2024, will we see a lot of new angels?
I really loved TextMate for quick, simple and ultra-fast note taking / quick pasting stuff on macOS. Is there anything like that for Windows (except Notepad++)?
Absolutely, the startup speed of npp is addictive. If only VS Code could be half as fast.
The difference is there is no such thing as "unregulated" in the concept of fraud. Doing fraud is illegal. Even if FTX had done all the paperwork to be compliant, it would still be illegal fraud.

Same as there's no place where murder is allowed. You can't "opt out" of parts of society. It's not even "take it or leave it", society is "take it or get out of our reach"

It's not "yet another thing" to get your classroom under control. That's step 1, before any other things can be accomplished.
I very much miss Notepad++ for making quick notes, and then being able to close the window without being asked whether I'd like to save the document. This, and auto-save (so not losing documents if you forget to save) is one of the main reasons I replaced Notepad with ++.

Rather quickly, I found that I had to completely remove Notepad so muscle memory would stop guiding me to it. Good times (and sad ones; I lost a lot of lecture notes) -- nevertheless, Notepad++ is an excellent piece of software.

I'm curious if the same "write and close the window" workflow is achievable with Kate, as I haven't been able to find the option; and, of course, the obvious question: what about this one?
If you want to use this pattern, you'll probably end up with a lot of duplicated code e.g. for SQL query builders. I could imagine that Rust makes this kind of pattern easier due to traits and macros. A lot of languages do not have these features.

And then of course Rust people care about correctness more in general.
Well, he gave just as much to the other side, why would the sitting president be inclined to pardon him as some kind of favor? Especially in an election year. That would be political suicide. Won't happen. He has a much better shot if there is a new guy in the hot seat in 2025. But even then I'd say it's pretty remote.
>Likely there are much more efficient ways to train these models, it shouldn't be this hard for them to learn arithmetics.

Oh really? And what would that look like? People have literally been looking at this for decades. And yet we're still using gradient descent with a few tweaks. So I would not bet on anyone coming up with something revolutionary. Especially not while hardware regularly revolutionizes the capabilities of models trained in this ancient way. Chipmakers have always allowed us to overcome the hurdle created by our lack of advances on the training architecture front. No matter whether you look at convnets or transformers.
Milken spent less than two years in prison, and was fined $600 million.

Securing the SQLs Generated by LLMs
Generating SQL using the ChatGPT or OpenAI is pretty useful but putting it into production is impossible because of security concerns.

So, I built an open source project SQLShield, which basically rewrites your SQL query to limit it and thus secure it.

Give it a try. I am looking for your feedback.
You can sidestep the block by simply using Chrome or Firefox. Which you'll eventually have to install due to something not working on Safari (like school software). And I would like them to have (some) internet access, so at the very least they get 30 free minutes of Instagram/whatever.
This. I had the same feeling on seeing The Triumph of Death by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in the Prado. [0] It's one thing to see the painting in a book. It's another thing to turn the corner into a room and see the full 20 square foot landscape in front of you. (It's still one of my favorite paintings of all time.)

Maybe you can customize it. I am not a user but you will avoid good programs because of this instant reaction. IMO, I would check if the toolbar and key shortcuts can be customized.
A well-known effect of alcohol intoxication is cognitive impairment.
Let's be honest here, "good behavior" is extremely easy to demonstrate in prison where everyone else is constantly getting in fights, beating up guards, etc. It's not a high bar and a person like SBF should easily be able to do that.
It just delays taxation. It's more important for small investors in the US, because in the US even index funds must pay tax for dividends.

Here in EU we can buy US index funds not available for US citizens where dividends are reinvested without tax. For us it does not matter that much.
> He is also the only person in the US Army to be considered for the rank of Field Marshall, mostly because FDR thought it would be funny to have Field Marshal Marshall.

Considering that when the 5-star rank (General of the Army) to which he was promoted had three other people promoted to it at the same time, if he was considered for promotion to Field Marshal but they ended up choosing a different name for the rank, he probably wasn't the only one.
You have little imagination. I was going to expand, but sibling comment expressed it well already.

25 years ... In a way he's unlucky because there is no federal parole, but also lucky in that federal wound be safer for someone like him, by far, than state prison.
The new Jetbrains ui is hard to like. It’s form over function. The old ui (thankfully still available). Having to hover over a hamburger button just to cause it to draw the menu bar options then slide the mouse across to what you want is annoying.

The new commit window alt+0 is better, the old modal always felt tacked on when everything else is a docked panel.
