Note that there are two forms that need to be approved.

The 19b-4 rules form change and the S-1, which is the individual listings.

They have done the former here.

It only took 4 days between the 19b-4 approval and S-1 approval for BTC but you should expect it to be weeks for the S-1 forms.

So the SEC has not yet approved spot Ethereum ETF's. They could ban S-1's base don staking or based on not being able to declare they wouldn't hold any tornado cash based coins, etc.

What's most interesting about t his is the about face the SEC did about 3 days ago.

Up until then ETHE traded at a 30% NAV discount and then suddenly snapped to about a 6% NAV discount early this week. Its rumored that this was as a result of a policy change in the white house and the delay in releasing this document today was due to the speed in which the SEC "changed their mind" and they needed a bit more time to write an approval for the rule change amendment.

Expect Staking to be disallowed as a concession for atleast the initial wave of ETF approvals. Also expect the SEC to allow ETHE to convert and the other ETF applications to all happen on the same day like they did with the BTC ETF's.
They likely didn't license the original recording as the lyrics specifically and continually lampoon advertising and marketing. There's likely not a long enough section that could be used or even edited together that'd work.

Eg:

That's right, it fillets, it chops

It dices, slices, never stops

Lasts a lifetime, mows your lawn

And it picks up the kids from school

It gets rid of unwanted facial hair

It gets rid of embarrassing age spots

It delivers a pizza

And it lengthens, and it strengthens

And it finds that slipper that's been at large

Under the chaise longe for several weeks

And it plays a mean rhythm master

It makes excuses for unwanted lipstick on your collar

And it's only a dollar, step right up

It's only a dollar, step right up
You may be thinking of aluminum plants which can’t be shut down and restarted without significant damage, but they are indeed still throttled up and down. In that case it’s electrochemistry at high temperatures to strip the oxygen off of aluminum. If it gets cold the apparatus gets damaged, but it can be throttled down a significant percentage.

AFAIK the scientific consensus is no amount of radiation exposure is beneficial. There have been some theories going around about how a small amount of radiation can be beneficial but I think that's been proven not to be true.
8088 did not have a barrel shifter, so multi-bit shifts would have been expensive and non-interruptible over multiple clocks. Perhaps game devs just avoided them out of habit.

> The conjecture that such rocks may be conscious stands on equal footing to the conjecture that they are unicorns wearing magical rock-disguise cloaks.

Hah! I would love to prove you wrong by imagining the perfect geological formation (many rocks as humans have many complex organs) that can receive and transmit coherent, dense information,

but I am a mere mortal.

For all practical purposes you're right, and for all philosophical purposes The Thinking Rock is an extreme example.

OpenAI allowed the reporter to hear some snippets from the audition tape. Not exactly my idea of an "investigation".

There are multiple parts to the voice performance of ChatGPT - the voice (vocal traits including baseline pronunciation) plus the dynamic manipulation of synthesized intonation/prosody for emotion/etc, plus the flirty persona (outside of vocal performance) they gave the assistant.

The fact that the baseline speaking voice of the audition tape matches baseline of ChatGPT-4o only shows that the underlying voice was (at least in part, maybe in whole) from the actress. However, the legal case is that OpenAI deliberately tried to copy SJ's "her" performance, and given her own close friends noting the similarity, they seem to have succeeded, regardless of how much of that is due to having chosen a baseline sound-alike (or not!) voice actress.
Timeline for S-1 approval might even take months, but hard to see how the SEC backpedals on this.
As they are for life in general.
Indeed. Learning from failure can sometimes provide more valuable insights than hearing about success alone.

It's usually more common on CD games with the directory/file being unlisted, but it's always interesting to find partial source code bakes into ROMs. Last I heard/understood, it was usually as some sort of white space padding; in the case of CD-ROMs and an artifact of the sector-copying mechanism in disk duplicators.

Also, the bytes cost money, but if you have a 32K ROM (because the next lowest size is 16K) and only 28K of data, it's not costing anything extra to fill that space.

> Override the will of Palestinian elections and you're denying them their sovereignty, interfere with the obvious military threat, and you're doing apartheid.

So it is decided that it will do both. Maybe, just maybe, reconcile? No. Acknowledge the right to return and pay reparations? No. We will run apartheid and blockade sea, air and land. And the Egypt border will be controlled by way of a trilateral treaty. Increase illegal and immoral settlements in West Bank? Yes. Shield and promote settler terrorism? Yes.

Yes.

But I wish you'd made your actual point, instead of asking this vague question. I don't want to guess what point this question is a setup to, but who knows if I'll ever make it back to this thread to find out what point you're going to make.
True, but that's also partially thanks to the Russian propaganda at its best.

I have never quite understood this value proposition (maybe I am not the target audience?) The point of PaaS is to avoid DevOps... making a PasS with an eject just feels orthogonal to the value prop of the main business. Ejecting seems like a low probability event as they CHOSE PaaS in the first place. (unless the money got really high)

We included Porter in our post-Heroku research and chose Render. We have loved Render and expect to be with them for quite a while (as we were with Heroku). If they happen to go south as Heroku did, we will find another PaaS... we will not 'eject' to bare metal or self configuration on AWS.
1) remarkable & ratta are traditional off the shelf eink and have to use a frontlight (above the display) which has many tradeoffs

2) daylight actually uses microperforations in our LivePaper display, so we're able to use a backlight, which in our opinion is superior in multiple ways

one of which, is what you're describing! our backlight doesnt affect writing feel or distance from pen tip to display!

(also way better contrast with BLU on with backlight)

3) thats awesome! feel free to reach out if you want to collaborate, we want to build the best PDF experiences out there as we're serious about knowledge work

Extremely anecdotal - but for whatever reason I read the first two paragraphs thinking JC was talking about marketing. I was both quite confused by the fact that you should have 2 events, one for the press, and one when you release. I thought that "the thing" was some allusion to a marketing concepts that I wasn't familiar with. I was also quite saddened that John Carmack would post about marketing. Turns out I just need to learn how to read.

The article is nice and interesting but doesn't answer the question of why did Tom Lehrer stop.

It's possible he thought he didn't have anything more to say. But I doubt that's the whole reason he stopped making songs and performing.

He lived through a time when the US defeated Nazi Germany, and then... hired prominent Nazis to work for them. This is what the Wernher von Braun song is about.

My take is, he thinks humanity as a whole doesn't deserve him — which may very well be the case.
I have the 10 pro and although the camera is definitely an improvement over the 5 I used to own, the overall performance is about the same. I still have my 5, and use it a lot for POS stuff and it's great still. I even have a OnePlus 1 around and it still works decently although it struggles a little with some apps. That's a TEN year old phone.
Affiliate stuff. It's only on some pages. The immigrant's journey involves a few necessary purchases and I'm here to help them choose.

That doesn't solve the same problem.

GitHub actions in the standard setup needs to run untrusted code and so you essentially need a VM.

You can lock it down at the cost of sacrificing features and usability, but that's a tradeoff.

AI dev startups are struggling with one problem and I solved it
All startups that are developing:

- AI engineers (Devin, Tusk, Sweep, Fume)

- AI code review automation (Corgea)

- Code comprehension and search (Greptile)

- AI Code generation (Cosine, Sourcegraph)

- AI Incident Response

- and any other tool that requires understanding code and references within a code

... are facing the same problem.

For any given codebase in any given language, they need to extract dependencies, references, and other information from the codebase. They need to have a graph representation of the codebase - to know how functions are called, how classes are used, and how variables are passed around.

It is simple for one or two languages but for 7+? It is a nightmare to solve. For each language, you need to parse, resolve dependencies, and extract information. There are startups that died because they could not add support for a new language fast enough.

By accident, I solved this problem in a way that is language-agnostic and can be used for any language. (or at least it is easy to add a new language)

I want to release it as an API. I am looking for a startup that is facing this problem and would like to use this API.

How the API might work:

1. You send a zip file with the codebase,

2. My system parses the codebase and extract all the information (functions, classes, variables, references, dependencies, etc) and build a graph representation of the codebase
3. I return the graph representation of the codebase for you to use

4. Zip file is deleted after processing

In the future, there might be a self-hosted version of the API that you can run on your own infrastructure.
Just need to:

1. Build prototype

2. Iterate on prototype.

3. In conjunction start standardizing and automating processes.

4. Achieve large enough scale to amortize the factory and process optimization costs over enough units to actually gain anything.

The “SMR hype industry” seems to be perpetually stuck at 1, not even being able to deliver a single prototype.

All the while talking like the factory already exists and SMRs are solved.

Somehow it doesn’t add up.
Source: I was the chief hardware engineer for this device.

The problem with eink tablets is that they must use front light, and not backlight due to how eink works. This means there is an extra layer in front of the layer where the pixels are, which causes parallax effects which makes writing feel fake. This is (likely) why remarkable deleted the frontlight from their product.

Whereas with the daylight tablet, we have a trans reflective display and a backlight. Since the backlight layer is behind the layer where the pixels are, the parallax does not suffer.

I've used vim from the reMarkable and a C interpreter in a root shell when my laptop was broken. On-screen keyboard wasn't the best experience though
The thought of staring at an IDE window (it was Eclipse back in the day) all day made me want to start sniffing glue so I learned SolidWorks and relearned linear algebra and used my amateur radio experience to fake my way through conversations about RF and became an engineer working on synthetic aperture radar systems.

Instead of shoveling frameworks on top of each other I started building real things that flew in pods on aircraft and got launched into space.

Now it's been a while so I've transitioned into doing more meetings than engineering, but I get two months off per year so I go scuba diving in warm places a lot and that makes up for it.

My only advice is to invest in yourself and never take a leap unless you can see what you'll be landing on. Both metaphorically and in the real world.
Training a deep network using gradient descent is what takes all the compute. Actually using the trained network takes far, far less compute, and can be done on home computers with a good video card.

I suspect training algorithms will get better over time, however, the ambitions of models to train will likely keep things constrained for the next decade or so.

I commend you trying to tackle such a challenging domain, something that feels should be handled on state level.

As a citizen of Estonia, we pretty much have any government service available over the web, and yes, we also get to enjoy state provided health care, which makes things simpler when it comes to having a single unified system for all health care workers, which we have, have had for quite a while, probably for a decade or more. And it works, including patients who can also log into the system to check any data that is collected on their behalf.
> A related UI principle is “make everything easy to undo”,

But of course, there are plenty of actions that are fundamentally impossible to undo, such as sending an email.

Pretty damning in this report is the section about SBF admitting that Alameda's NAV is very dependent on how you account for FTT way back in 2019.

The Soviets weren’t very popular at the time in most of Europe, especially in the parts the Soviets drove the Germans away from, so I doubt people would have admitted to that, even if they thought it to be true.

I also think it isn’t quite true. Leaving out a lot of nuance I would say “American industry and Russian blood”
Another Tom Lehrer interview clip (1994, age 65), http://www.crazycollege.org/lehrer.html

GEO: I was surprised to learn that you enlisted in the Army back in 1955.

TOM LEHRER: That's one way of putting it, but probably not the appropriate verb. The point is that they were drafting people up to the age of 35. So I dodged the draft for as long as anybody was shooting at anybody. And then when I realized that I would have to go -- there was really no way out of it except getting an essential full time job, which I didn't really want to do -- I waited until everything was calm and then surrendered to the draft board. I wouldn't call it "enlist". "Enlist" means that you have to spend another year. I allowed myself to be drafted. I was 27 at the time and there were a lot of graduate students who were like me who had gotten deferred as graduate students and now had to pay up. So it was a kind of an odd group there, a lot of educated people in my "outfit", I believe is the word. And we had a lot of fun. So I did that for two years in Washington DC and had a great time -- especially since there was no war -- though vice president Nixon was trying to get us into one in Indo-China even then. So there was that little threat. And there was Suez and a few other little things that looked a little tricky. But it didn't look like there was going to be a real war. So it seemed to be safe to go in. And I'm sure that a lot of my cohort felt the same way.

GEO: And what did you do?

TOM LEHRER: It was NSA. I think I'm allowed to say that now. I asked around before I surrender to be sure that I would not be in special services or something playing volleyball with the troops in Korea. I wanted to make sure that I got a nice cushy job. We were called "The Chair Borned". And I found out that they were hiring mathematicians. So I arranged to be hired.

GEO: Do you find that your training as a mathematician influenced your song writing. Writing a song seems to me to be like creating a puzzle.

TOM LEHRER: Not Mathematics itself, but the kind of mind that likes mathematic. Stephen Sondheim has that kind of mind. He was a mathematics major in college, too. Having that kind of a mind, you look for organization, and rhyming, and pattern, and prosody -- all those things that are fun to do in a song, rather than -- which is what a lot of comedy songs are -- just couplets. Working all that out, if not "mathematical", is at least "logical".

GEO: As a mathematician did you ever make any brilliant discoveries?

TOM LEHRER: Oh,nonono. I have no desire to extend the frontier of human knowledge; retract them, if anything. I like to teach it and I like to think about it, but that's about it.
