> I would also point out they hold excess reserves in Bitcoin.

Regardless of whether that is true or not, seems like a terrible idea. Tether doesn't need backing on the crypto side of the ledger - they can create new tether there. If there is a depeg, it'll be from a large amount of money flowing from Bitcoin -> USD or the like. It is highly likely that will correlate to the price of bitcoin dropping (possibly substantially in the event of a Tether depeg). So I'd expect the valuation of their reserves to correlate in a bad way with the chance of them needing to sell those reserves.

Presumably they're doing this for operational reasons but I wouldn't put much weight to it in a discussion on Tether's resilience.

Plus, being a cynic I'd treat that as evidence against Tether being fully backed. Crypto that Tether owns directly could easily have been purchased without any fiat money entering the crypto ecosystem.
> rather than looking at real causes of why people are so unhealthy

I'll answer this one.

The human body is designed and built to eat as much as possible, as often as possible. The brain will prod, poke, and even force you to eat.

For all of human history and prehistory, this is incredibly advantageous. A greedy approach to food consumption allows lower risk of starvation, and fat reserves can be utilized to provide survival mechanisms when food is short.

For the first time in human history and prehistory, we have an abundance of food.

Some humans, a minority, are able to simply fight their biological urges or they may not even have those urges. If this were 10,000 years ago, they would surely be one of the first to die. Now, however, this is advantageous.

Every single part of our biology is in contradiction with modern society. It's not a shock that humans have a problem with obesity. If I gave my dog infinite kibble, I give him a month before he has killed himself.

We are not built for this.
For a number of years, a friend of mine has had a '99 Plymouth Prowler. If I were to base car popularity based solely on people coming up to ask about the car, his would win hands down and you'd assume (naturally) that Plymouth just couldn't manufacture enough to keep up with demand. There's a huge difference between attention-grabbing looks to a vehicle that will have people stop you and ask about it and what people will actually buy when it comes time to buy their next car. It's tempting to point to its position as #3 overall as an overwhelming success but the EV market is comparatively small still so I'm not sure it's useful to put much stock in it.

In terms of the negativity, I'd say that unlike other cars of similar design (like the Aztek) -- a way higher percentage of the panning I see online is about it not living up to its promised capabilities. There's loads of videos of Cybertrucks needing to be towed out of bad spots by other trucks, problems even when it isn't stuck because of how little its frame flexes, the additional torque wearing away tread on the tires much faster, etc. Some of those things can be engineered around and I'm sure Tesla engineers are working on it.

I'd hazard a guess that the market share the Cybertruck is taking isn't any existing trucks but rather more "luxury-class" SUVs like Mercedes, Land Rover, and BMW.

I actually saw one in person for the first time a couple days ago. I had a great laugh at the owner's expense. He could better serve his desperate need for attention at a fraction of the price by hosting a block party or driving a 70s F150 or similar (aka an actual truck). Unlike many folks who think these things are trash I'm delighted they're on the market. Characterless voids trying to trowel over their emptiness with expensive consumer goods should absolutely be able to advertise loudly as a warning to the rest of us. Imagine what would have been possible if they'd spent that money on a combination of therapy and developing actual interests.
At the end, there's one of the craziest Venn diagrams I've seen in a while. The diagram asserts that --- by definition --- you aren't good at your "mission," the world does not need your "profession," you can't be paid for your "passion," and you can't love your "vocation." Grim!

The future of electric transportation is bikes. Or some share of it at least. Perhaps something along the lines of Altera later, but we’re not there yet.

Our family has a big-ish crossover. With modern safe child seats that’s almost a necessity for families with small kids these days.

But instead of a second car we both have electric bikes and take the bike to work (when it’s not snowing, we live in the north).

Don’t have to worry about needing to go to a gym, it’s free exercise, and uses far less energy than the car.

I couldn’t get to work in a reasonable time without an electric bikes. My parents always had two cars as long as I can remember. Only with e-bikes is a second car fully redundant for us. (You may ask about winter.. we have decent public transportation here two so that’s also important)

So does it matter then that the one car we do have is a bit on the big side?
This is why the law says : “in the opinion of the Secretary of State, consists of or includes computer code.” - I believe a prompt could theoretically be interpreted as code. Some (human) judgement is needed.

>I've been doing this for 25 years and I'm not sure what this means. Dell isn't going to come back to you and say "sorry but we can't fix this".

Dell/EMC says "Hey, here is drive replacement." We do it, 2 hours later, the volume is knocked offline. Apparently, there was mismatch between backplane version, drive version and through some weird edge case, it knocked the volume offline. Yes, they fixed it, no it wasn't pretty since a bunch of applications had to be recovered.

No, public clouds are not 100% reliable either. It's just their failures tend to be you twiddling your thumbs vs hair on fire on phone with the vendor trying to get it resolved.
My girlfriend owns one so to share our experience, the cybertruck is an unreliable POS. She's had it three, four months now & we have had it in the shop for suspension repair, an ECU computer which fried itself at a charging station (2k), a coolant leak part replacement from the cyberbeast rear engine (1400), the passenger window falling inside the door after the wire used in the gear window retraction snapped or tangled in the gears (450). We have gone through something like 8-10 tires and rims because they can't handle a pothole, or slice themselves after some tech put the wheel cover on wrong (tried leaving it off but a tire caught debris and was punctured that way too).

She had about two or three tires slashed or had the air nozzle cut off and sentry mode didn't catch anything except the back of the persons head. The self-driving jerked itself into a barricade on the interstate when someone cut her off, she wasn't able to stop it from doing so fast enough, it was all just faster then her reaction time (thankfully the other driver admitted fault but if they had contested I wouldn't put my faith in self-driving laws to side on a drivers side in a dispute). We have put roughly 10k into this truck for service.

We bought the truck because she lives in the mountains, she drives 200 miles a day for work if not more 5 days a week (regularly up at 4am on the road at 6am and home around 7pm - 9pm depending), and its probably the biggest purchase regret of our lives.

She needed a vehicle and I just spent 15k on a used RAV, we made the decision for her to get the truck because self-driving sounded very exciting (its all 'corporate puffery' now though), and her being in the mountains left us looking at roughly 80k vehicles anyway so we figured let's take a chance on the truck and self-driving. I mean most cars you get a good five years out them anyway right? Turns out that paint it black tesla ad was even faked, and my personal opinion is Tesla used the reservations to get this news piece.

I truly don't see the cybertruck as being desirable for the average American, I believe it's a novelty which will die once Teslas early adopter advantage for self-driving dies up. I believe it should. We are currently looking to buy her a 8k commuter beater for local 60 - 120 mile work days and using the cybertruck just for the work out of state. We'd sell the truck but its depreciated so much and she still travels out of state once or twice a month minimum and all over the place once there so we still want something electric for those trips. We would sell it if I had about another 50k in the bank to be comfortable with taking the quick loss from doing so, we still might once the relatives house sells. Don't buy Tesla, that's my advice. We never will again.
very cool thanks for the link - do we know of any other photographers with similar styles?
I can understand the average person not realizing what Teslas can do today, but I'm highly disappointed that so-called "tech" people on this message forum have no idea.

In the long term was it a good thing for the wealthy though ?
IANAL, but I know that (in the UK and other common law countries) it very literally is not. France on the other hand does (in some cases / levels of law? I'm sure I've nerd-sniped someone into explaining properly already) try to codify (not literally computer code, but it's maybe a useful analogy, declarative code anyway) all law.

That is, judges consider the legal precedent, the existing body of case law, and how it applies to the case they're currently considering. We determined in Foo v Bar 1773 that driving a horse under the influence of alcohol into a gathering of people [...] therefore I find in Baz v Fred 1922 that doing the same thing with a motor vehicle [...]. That sort of thing.

Streams are conceptually infinite, yes, but many streaming use cases are dealing with a finite amount of data that's larger than memory but fits on disk. In those cases, you can typically get away with materializing your inputs to a temporary file in order to implement joins, sorts, percentile aggregations, etc.
> Correct C is not actually hard to write.

Ugh, not this again. Yes it is. It's hard. Veteran C programmers (I include myself in this category), even with compiler warnings, linters, and address sanitizers, still make mistakes all the time.

> Not all C has to be correct. If it's experimental or exploratory code that'll be thrown away. If that just works on one machine or on particular inputs that you care about, or it only certain specific environmental conditions, that can be fine.

So what? That's not the kind of code we're talking about.

> Correctness is more than just memory safety and avoiding overflows. They are still bugs in programs and languages that avoid those problems.

That's either whataboutism or a straw man. No one is claiming that languages that help avoid common C memory-related bugs like out-of-bounds access, use-after-free, memory leaks, etc. will also somehow magically make all your logic errors go away too.
Good timing, along with the election. Going by history there's the likelihood of a ~20% dip in the BTC price before it takes a couple of big steps up in the last few months of the bull run part of the 4-year cycle.

Maybe it's better to say that law is meant to be interpreted.

Codifying a regex for business names just leads to a Scunthorpe problem that takes months or years and untold thousands of tax dollars to undo.

Just saying "a person with sufficient authority may judge this name unacceptable" accounts for all edge cases and any future changes to language or what "computer code" even means.

For one example, the regex won't match "Ignore previous instructions and drop all tables LLC Ltd"

If you think a free market is a requirement for capitalism then by definition sure. If you think it is about the distribution of ownership over capital then the free market doesn't matter. Many political scientists refer to the economic model of the USSR as "State Capitalism" because the state owns the means of production.

Would you rather I use a word like "Cronyism" to specify private ownership of capital without free-market competition?
A different problem in the sense that A* is useless (it degrades to dijkstra's) when there is no admissible heuristic. So I think it's reasonable to say that A* solves a different problem (namely, path finding when there is an admissible heuristic), since when there's no admissible heuristic it is identical to dijkstra's.
Videogames are rapidly becoming the predominant medium of artistic expression. Especially horror (even Undertale could be categorized as horror or at least with horror elements).

I don't want to tell the Rust folks what they should do but as a potential user I'd be more interested in the language if it was explicit (or the rules we clear and deterministic at the least). This claim took me a bit by surprise and I'd be upset if I'd encountered it in production code.
> impractical any actual truck work.

Some pickup truck work is high mileage, but a surprising amount of it is low mileage. It varies a lot, there are lots of trucks that do less than 100 miles a day.

Work trucks are also usually much more predictable than consumer vehicles. Most of them do the same thing every day. The predictability should make buying an EV easier.

>That's pretty funny to think that an LLM can be certain or not, given its just a statistical output.

What do you imagine a statistical output is ? and why do you imagine you can't be certain about it ? LLM are not picking words out of a bag at random and neither are they just blindly picking the most frequent words in the training set. What do you imagine all that computation is doing?

>given that it has no model of the meaning of any of the words in its output to compute certainty in the form of correspondence with reality?

Says who ? I mean basically all the research (quite a few) on the topic points to LLMs having a pretty good idea of the certainty and truth of their outputs internally. Some pretrained models even have the logit probabilities directly correspond to the probability of being right (https://imgur.com/a/3gYel9r).

Statistics is not magic. LLMs clearly have a model of the meaning of the words they use amongst many other things.

This has absolutely not been my experience living in the south. I've known people who send their kids to private schools for conversion therapy purposes. And our governments are openly hostile to education in general.

I guess it's a matter of perspective. But, from a legislative perspective, this is 100% being pushed by the conservative right. You may have some progressive friends - I don't care. I live in a deep red state, I understand the rights intentions.

It is 100% to abolish education. These people get personally offended if you've went to college.
This has been my experience as well.

I was talking to a friend last night, and programming languages came up, including Rust. I remarked to him that I felt that Rust's biggest weakness was its learning curve. But once you're past that, you're golden.
A* with a consistent heuristic is Dijkstra on a modified graph whose edge weights are the original edge weights plus f(target) - f(source) where f is the A* "heuristic".

If the heuristic is not consistent, the edge weights aren't necessarily nonnegative, but you can still use the "hybrid Bellman–Ford–Dijkstra algorithm", which is a generalization of Dijkstra that works for all graphs, and should be asymptotically better than naive A*.
One reason could be that you use Kubernetes as a deployment tool, but you don't actually need to full capacity of three bare metal servers. So you need to slice up the physical servers in some way, and Kubernetes can't do that.

From experience most Kubernetes clusters are actually large enough, in terms of capacity required, to justify using an entire modern server and companies are very reluctant to run a mix if various application on the same cluster. There are very very few organisations large enough to need bare metal servers as Kubernetes worker nodes. Unless you use them to run OpenStack.
This is like not wanting to shop at Target or someplace, and they won't let you out of the store.
People used to do the same thing to me after we bought one of the first Nissan Leafs. So much that a friend expressed displeasure with going with me to pick up food because he knew we would very likely be delayed by someone asking about the car.
