Googling his name brings up this article as the third result. Someone in whatever college he has been accepted to will surely discover and spread rumors, which he can’t really defend against because all the evidence supports that he did it. If he tries to publish anything, people will see his name and immediately question its legitimacy. If he gets an offer and the employer finds out they may rescind it because they can’t trust him.

Maybe he won’t outright get his admission rescinded, but I can’t see how a prestigious college is worth more than an intact reputation (I’m sure that without this award he still would’ve been accepted to a great community college at worst, and with his research internship assuming good AP scores, he may have even got into his top choice).
He could’ve, but did he? A judge will look at all this subjective stuff and make a decision, and they might not find that argument convincing given the other evidence on hand.
Internal requests are very likely not in the tens of thousands - they're probably processed entirely separately. It'd be easy to spot one employee constantly filing these requests for random people.

> They would often bring me in front of the school's psychologist and he would make me cry in front of them, always blaming me, never once asking me what was going on at home.

It's remarkable how institutions (the school psychologist in your case) often re-inflict the trauma that is going on at home. It's their job to protect the child, but often they do the opposite, and it's worth asking why. I experienced this myself, though in a very different context—everyone's story is unique of course.

Good for you for surviving, and best wishes for growth and healing.

Which evolutionary perspective is that? As a _group_ I would expect animals that abandon their young at birth to be outcompeted by those that rear them to weaning.

Precisely. First time mothers need the help of the troop to know how to raise their children.

> Those who care about abstract ideals—justice, fairness, equality, and so on—should fare especially badly.

The rest seems like a long walk around non-cooperative game theory in different terms.
It's true. Bribery is for super pacs with much higher caps. Or was it, pacs have caps but super pacs don't? I forget how those work.

Point is, when you go to a meeting with especially wealthy donors that fund your campaign through super pacs, then ensure the dialog from those meetings is never made public, I think its reasonable to assume some form of bribery has occurred, if not strictly within the legal definition.

The article names its archetypes not entirely fairly, based on my experience at three MIT startups. Two were novel-tech academic spinoffs, and the third was alumni applying/integrating COTS tech driven by customer problem domain. Of those three, two were business-thinking much like the article's "Stanford" archetype. The other had, like the article's "MIT" archetype, a period to develop tech from the lab, and a challenging changing of gears to be cutting-edge product-driven.

Also, a fourth MIT startup, which I recently almost co-founded, even before I joined the nascent team, the inventor-CEO had already done impressive customer-oriented legwork, and found Bay Area advisors, more like "Stanford" in the article.

> The team has 9 PhDs and just hired an MBA to start finding customers.

This is a problem, if none of the PhDs happen to have non-academic strong experience in product, nor in industry team engineering.

An academic environment will tend to make people think they know more than they do, about things academia doesn't know.

Also, academic degree and career paths in some ways reward the opposite of how I think people in a startup, or other effective company, should be thinking. (Unless the startup is more the VC growth investment scheme kind, which can be mostly about appearances.)

One MBA (even if very experienced) probably can't, by themself, counterbalance all those experience gaps, nor those lessons to unlearn.

> The MIT startup has no sales to customers, but possibly a DARPA grant to develop their technology.

I don't know about the more involved DARPA grant-writing, but SBIRs do seem to be popular seed-ish funding: https://www.sbir.gov/
Design over function at microsoft.

The new outlook 365 seems to have removed the time component from older entries so even when they show you the date, it won't include the time. If you have 20 emails per day, you'll have to open them one by one until you find the one you need.

I wish there is a way to revert to the old behavior but microsoft support says we don't need this.

If you compare it to the rest of Europe for those criteria I think it would be pretty far down the list.

I'm from the UK but have been living in Europe (EU) for half a decade, and I'd say where I live now is much better than the UK for almost all of those things.

The only thing we don't give such high benefits (relative to cost of living) for those who can't work. But in the UK a lot of people abuse that, so maybe it's a good thing.

> Intellectual property generated at universities that accept any taxpayer funding whatsoever should belong to the taxpayer

Not everything generated at a university that takes tax money is government owned, but everything the government funds is available to the government.

> private research centers (e.g. Bell Labs)

Companies like Google or Apple have been funding tons of research. I worked for a government research lab doing medical research. The research being done for the Apple Watch was miles better than ours, because it had way more funding.

I just bought a new car with poor grounding. Apparently the factory had painted over the terminal where the automatic transmission grounding cable attached. This caused a variety of intermittent faults until the dealership technician figured out the root cause and sanded off the excess paint.
Yes, it would be very possible. In Brazil for example, several million people each year do the national test for public sector jobs, with the test result deciding who gets hired. So it doesn't matter who you're related to, if you have the same hobby as your interviewer, or if the HR person thinks you're cute or not. It's the test and that's it. At least in theory.

The military branches world wide also generally hires and promotes on merit and testing. So it's nothing strange.
It does not say "screw falling out completely would have been ok." The screw provided a single point of electrical contact for grounding. When it became loose (thus less surface area contact with the chassis and hence increased resistance in that part of the circuit) or fell out completely (zero surface area contact with chassis and hence infinite resistance in that part of the circuit) the current took a completely different path to the ground with catastrophic results.
For all the pontificating in this thread about the need to follow safety advice regarding the wearing of seat belts (and bicycle helmets!) at all times, please note the following from the BBC report:

> the London-Singapore flight suffered a sudden drop as a meal service was under way.

Meal service is probably the single most vulnerable moment to encounter turbulence. How many of the safety-first-at-all-times brigade could dine while tightly strapped to their seat? And no matter how tightly strapped in you are, you could not avoid being splashed by scalding coffee, as some passengers on the in the report were.

Also, the flight time from London to Singapore is 13 hours and 15 minutes (non-stop). How many of you would stay tightly strapped in at all times for that long?
The Bitcoin whitepaper was created with OpenOffice.

Wright tried to create forgeries with both Word and OpenOffice, but he was unable to reproduce the illustrations as vector art and the bitmaps were noticed. He also got burned over and over again by hidden data in Word (and OO) documents revealing things like the fact that the document was started off as a copy and paste of Satoshi's and then edited to look like a precursor.

Wright appears to have decided to try to solve both problems by declaring that the whitepaper was really created with LaTeX-- since tex files don't have hidden metadata and he could use an online conversion tool to convert the vector illustrations.

Too bad he seems to have been unable to get LaTeX running locally, so he used overleaf--an online LaTeX editor-- which recorded his every revision creating his forgeries.

He tried to claim overleaf did not store any such data, too bad it's substantially open source and his opponents included actual software developers.

>Washington Post article. And what you think the substance of your comment was is unclear.

You mean this?

"Each of the personas has a different tone and accent. “Sky” sounds somewhat similar to Scarlett Johansson, the actor who voiced the AI that Joaquin Phoenix’s character falls in love with in the movie “Her.” Deng, the OpenAI executive, said the voice personas were not meant to sound like any specific person."

As I stated prior, and thank you for making my point, despite being publicly available for near a year, there was minor mention of similarities with no general public sentiment.

>Altman hyped the May update with references to Her

If by "hype" you mean throwaway comments on social media that general population was unaware.

Drawing a parallel to a calming persona of an always on life assistant from pop culture in a few throwaway social media posts from personal accounts such as "Hope Everyone's Ready" isn't hyping it as Her any more than Anthropic is selling their offerings as a Star Trek communicator despite a few comments they've made on social media.

Ambiguous "some people" overstates any perceived concern and "most people don't use ChatGPT" understates how present they've been on the news.

Mobile app, which heavily emphasized voice and has "Sky" as it's default voice The ChatGPT mobile application had over 110+ million downloads across iOS and Android platforms before the May
announcement.

In regards to the November announcement, yes, voice was very prominent in it with Sky as the default language. (https://youtu.be/pq34V_V5j18?si=66lEWxgteBbtKifl)
I thought their whole point of opening the models in the first place was to undermine OpenAI, but this seems to invalidate that. Maybe their hand was forced?

Sorry I am late to reply so this will probably die quickly.

I am not 100% sure because I can't quite understand, but I think you've got this wrong.

> crypto-currency mixing is a real privacy concern that should exist.

This is the bit I don't understand. Do you mean, wallet addresses are identifiers that give up your privacy, and therefore mixers should exist? I would say that for BTC, yes they are pseudonymous not anonymous, and it's inherent in the design. It doesn't follow though that mixers "should" exist. If you care about privacy you can use a private crypto like monero. I'm not making an argument here that they should not exist, because other kinds of crypto exist that solve this, just that your assertion of the opposite isn't at all obvious and you need to back it up with a reason why privacy "should" be added to BTC. I don't know why anyone has a "right" to privacy with BTC. Why don't you have a "right" to privacy with credit cards or bank checks?

If you are a rich (or poor or whatever) m'fer you don't have a "right" to use BTC privately, even if your safety is at risk.

And you don't have a "right" to own a firearm anonymously either.

Now that said, I also am not sure how swapping serial numbers on guns amounts to authoring the code to mix BTC. In the Netherlands, the jurisdiction in question, firearm ownership is illegal period. In the US, serial swapping is what it is because it's regulated or legalized in that way. In the US, MetasploitaaS would be illegal, for sure. Serial number swapping illegal, for sure. This guy wasn't operating a service and the prosecutor admitted as much. They wrote the code and it was run by others. I am saying, this is like producing the guns (legal if you are registered) and not being liable for murder done by others. The developer wasn't running the tornado service and the prosecutor accepts that to be true. It apparently (excuse me, I'm no expert, just repeating from TFA) runs independently on the Ethereum network. Therefore anyone executing that code on their ethereum "node" or what-have-you, should be liable, not Pertsev.

Is Microsoft being held liable for writing the operating system which accountants can use to cook their books?

I understand there's a degree of intended use, but again to get back to guns, the intended use is clearly to kill, and we don't hold gun manufacturers liable.

I don't have a problem if they want to make the code illegal to write (well, speaking to the issue here, not in general of course -- this would be highly problematic) and in that case they can prosecute him based on writing illegal code. But the crime here is in operating the service.

And just so you understand my underlying feelings here, BTC IMHO is useless, contributes far too much to climate issues to be worth any value it might have, and facilitates crime far more than anything else. To the extent it facilitates so-called victimless crimes like in the older days, okay enough I guess, but it's gotten out of hand and anything and everything that can be done to squash it should be done. It's crooks all the way down. Now with that in mind, I still find this conviction very flawed.
I mean we have contexts now so large it dwarfs human short term memory right?

An important thing to remember is that both R and Ruby have directly, wholly, imported the REPL approach (not just having an interpreter you can type at, like Python) from Lisp/Common Lisp - with R arguably fitting as Lisp-family language if with different syntax (Ruby's other inspirations were Smalltalk obviously, and less known was being Perl replacement)
I laughed, but I felt the need to downvote. By the rules, this is off topic, but personally, I'm exhausted by politics being injected into every other topic of conversation. Even if you and I agree politically, I think we can reduce hyper partisanship by not being political in discussions outside of politics. It's the reason this joke exists:

After my incident (detailed elsewhere in these comments), we followed up with a few agencies whether there was anything that could be done to make it less likely that innocent parties are traumatised in the future by the very system that purports to do the opposite. Raised it with a local member of government as well.

There is no recourse against "procedure". The closest option was to raise it with the Police's internal affairs, but were told that's specifically for officer misconduct. And, with the exception of one inflammatory bitch, the officers were all polite and friendly (as they rifled through and took my equipment).

There's no ... anything ... that caters to the misconduct of the system.

(It's not surprising to a disinterested observer, but the feeling of powerlessness against such an injustice made it surprising to me).
There are a lot of firms specializing in designing bullshit extracurricular activities for rich snobs.

Either -> is a binary operator or is is not an operator in the expression at all, and the unary postfix operators are ->b, ->c, and ->d. In the latter case, that gives us (->d (->c (->b a))) in Lisp, which I can see how ypu could get, but I don't agree.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

struct foo {
int a;
};

int main() {
struct foo *f = malloc(sizeof(struct foo));
f->a = 5;
printf("%d\n", f->b);
free(f);
return 0;
}

If you read about the history of childhood I think it's clear that children were immeasurably more traumatized in the past. The concept of child abuse barely existed, and the relational needs of children weren't recognized at all.

That raises the question of why contemporary attention to trauma is so elevated, if the problem is actually smaller now than it used to be. There's an easy answer though: this is first moment in (recent) history where we finally have a chance to begin dealing with it.
> I'm sure they did. But I wager there is no such thing as "smooth development". Every engine has its quirks, every team has its odd dynamics and clashes.

That's not really what I wanted to convey. I'm not saying that their development process became spotless as a result of using Unity, but that these developers don't appear to be constrained by the engine in this extreme fashion like what the top commenter was suggesting - they successfully used it to make wildly different (and sometimes boundary-pushing) products.

> You had to pay to remove the splashscreen, so that meant low effort titles would have "MADE WITH UNITY" front and center, where higher budget titles could remove the logo.

Yeah, I agree with this. Almost all people have no idea what engine any given game runs on (if any), and professional developers will only put that in the credits, if at all. Admittedly, I can't think of any better ways of introducing some limitation for free users that wouldn't get overbearing - interfering with gameplay or other interactive stuff is probably a no-no, so a splash screen is one of the few viable options.
