1. Naked short selling basically doesn't happen anymore. To the extent that it does happen it's a mere technicality and the borrow is found after a couple of days.

2. There is very little money in shorting. Pumping and dumping by making up positive news is much more lucrative. "to the moon" has been a trope for years, and there is no equivalent on the short side. Even the world's most successful short seller Jim Chanos was successful because the short portfolio functioned as a hedge that enabled a leveraged long position on broad indices. It's pretty hard make money net short when the market goes up for two straight decades.

3. The authorities don't have the resources nor the dogged inclination to hunt down fraudsters. The authorities can't and shouldn't base an exhaustive investigation on vaguely shifty CEO behavior. Short sellers can and do start their investigation based on gut feeling.
While I was at Facebook they dropped the "and break thing" off the corporate values anyways. Turns out they just want you to move fast.
>Now they're a year behind academically

I think you're missing something. Getting expelled doesn't mean you didn't attend school for the remainder of the year. Getting expelled meant you were sent to a school for expelled kids. If you got expelled from there, you went to a school for expelled x2 kids. In the US, it's illegal to not attend school under the age of 16.

>and have the shame of being expelled.

Shame is a powerful motivator, but only works sometimes. The alternative is to ignore the behavior or reward it, both worse solutions IMO.

I think the idea is if kids are disruptive, put them with other disruptive kids so the amount of disruption is minimized. All the kids in the disruption school are already disruptive. Also, you don't want to teach the current non-disruptive kids that being disruptive is acceptable, otherwise, you'll just create more disruptive kids by inaction.
Probably because workers' protections are very strong in Jaan and it's close to impossible to fire people.

- You cannot fire your staff (easily)
- Rather than replace staff, you need to train them
- You also really want to engender a sense of loyalty, because anyone who is checked-out is dead weight you need to carry

I think the legal protections for employment are upstream of the working culture. Maybe it's a chicken and egg problem. But in terms of policy you could test this, and it makes sense the culture is just in alignment with the incentive structure. America has an "I've got mine" approach, which is efficient and good for businesses, but...
Employees (correctly) know they are replaceable and have a strictly profit/loss relationship with companies they work for. In that framework the risk/reward for a worker to be doing the minimum they need to earn their pay-check is pretty favourable.

Aren't lawsuits the proper way to address this?

Seems like there's an argument that model weights are a derivative work of the training data, at least if the model is capable of producing output that would be ruled to be such a derivative work given minimal prompting.

Although it may not work with photography since the model might just almost exclusively learn how the object of the photo looks in general and how photos work in general, rather than memorizing anything about specific photos.
They did mention that they stash extra cores to enable the re-routing. Those extra cores are presumably unused when not routed in.

“selling” data is not in the same bucket for risk as CCP using TikTok for propaganda.
It's a hype cycle with many of the hypers and deciders having zero idea about what AI actually is and how it works. ChatGPT, while amazing, is at its core a token predictor, it cannot ever get to an AGI level that you'd assume to be competitive to a human, even most animals.

And just as every other hype cycle, this one will crash down hard. The crypto crashes were bad enough but at least gamers got some very cheap GPUs out of all the failed crypto farms back then, but this time so much more money, particularly institutional money, is flowing around AI that we're looking at a repeat of Lehman's once people wake up and realize they've been scammed.
Or "customers" as "consumers".
I recently went to a gas station where the pump worked right! No affinity cards. No car wash offer. No asking for a ZIP code, since I'd been there before. No screen with ads. Press card against RFID reader, select octane, pump gas.

I went inside and complemented the worker on their pumps being so easy to use.
I go back there occasionally, even though the station with the ad screen is cheaper.

They literally razed Bablyon to the ground including the entire population after over 15 months being under siege and afterwards trying to change the lands hydrology so that people couldn't resettle - probably one of the harshest destruction but not the only one.

I guess its an improvement - not one thats remotely impressive.
No formal alliance, but in reality, if you look up the proportion of Taiwanese-made chips used by the US military in... everything - aircraft, missiles ,tanks, planes, everything - invading Taiwan would probably cripple the US military's production capabilities so it's probably kicking off a proper war with USA.
I think that's actually a known psychological phenomenom. The more people there are, the less likely someone steps in to help. Because if help was needed, someone of all the other people would have already helped. Same with driving past car accidents for example.

It's good to keep this in mind. If you see something and no one is helping, it's good to check. Especially when there are other people around.

Personally I just try to do right within my influence. And helping someone find their keys, or going after a stray pet, and similar fits right into that. It won't change the world, but it makes life better for someone and I'd hope to be treated similarly if I was in that situation.

And caring at work in an institution? I don't know, it seems part of survival to learn to not care there.
It will be interesting to see the conflict between the industry lobbyists stuffing trump's pockets with cash and RFK Jr. who is extremely opinionated. My guess is that either RFK Jr. folds and makes compromises whenever trump asks him to in order to stay in his position or he gets thrown out on his ass for standing up for what he believes. I really don't know how firmly RFK Jr will hold to his convictions, but I do know that Trump has no problems getting rid of anyone who refuses to be blindly loyal to him.
I find that caring, and networking with other people who care, at work can be a huge career boost in the long term. So I'm not even sure the not-caring people are winning, long term, but maybe they also don't can't about that.

>This isn't debunking anything considering that the report itself agrees: "A combination of chaos, enormous grief and Jewish religious duties meant that many bodies were buried as quickly as possible [...]"

It is debunked with the provided evidence and you just stating that it was "chaos" doesnt fix any of listed flaws and enormous bias of that article

>You might be thinking of Gal's brother-in-law, but the report was never based on the opinions of family members, it was based on conversations with police and video evidence: "Based largely on the video evidence — which was verified by The New York Times — Israeli police officials said they believed that Ms. Abdush was raped"

There was no forensic evidence and what anyone "believes" is irrelevant and would not hold up in a court of law as stated. Israeli officials are as trustworthy as Nazi officials and would claim anything to demonize Palestinians and to justify the israeli occupation.

>He wasn't the lead reporter. That was Jeffrey Gettleman, a Pulitzer recipient.

Anat Schwarz is a woman and she was part of israeli military intelligence. Jeffrey being a "pulitzer recipient" is an appeal to authority and doesnt fix any of the methodological flaws of NYT's propaganda article either.

More on it can be read in the intercept article: https://theintercept.com/2024/02/28/new-york-times-anat-schw...
They offer a "Team" level package. Why? If they don't want professional coders anymore, who is their target audience? I would guess solo-entrepreneurs, so a "team" version doesn't really fit, much less the enterprise level.
I also find it hard to believe! :(

By the way, Google has reacted and I do not know if I'm allowed to post a new URL or if this will be FLAGGED! I'm new here but I think it would be insightful.
I have it on good authority that the snozzberries taste like snozzberries.
This is a rather poor take. Individually it's "probably" not much, but when you start putting the data together in bulk you have a social network graph of huge parts of an entire country. That and everything they like and probably work on. If you can get things like location data, then you can figure out what entire companies are doing. You can get insight into secret projects. You can figure out what small companies/contractors to install moles in.

It is literally the biggest spy data gold mine on earth.

>Last I checked solar without batteries is roughly the same price per Kw as nuclear

Checked where? Lazard says it is one fifth of the price.

>There’s a huge difference in capability though because nuclear is 24/7 peak availability which solar can’t do

Not 24/7. They have to be turned off for maintenance and when that happens e.g. France burns an awful lot of gas.

Pair solar with wind and storage and it's still cheaper than raw, nuclear power and would be even if matching storage were 4x the cost.
That's basically the principle of binary cycle[1] generators. However for data center waste heat recovery, I'd think you'd want to use a more stable fluid for cooling, and then pump it to a separate closed-loop binary-cycle generator. No reason to make your datacenter cooling system also deal with high pressure fluids, and moving high pressure working fluid from 1000s of chips to a turbine of sufficient size, etc.

Keep in mind, fraud isn't necessarily a big deal for the shareholder, not all fraud is Enron-tier. For example, I fully believe they were right about Adani, but it was basically just skimming money off the top. If Adani is an embezzler, but also good and funneling bribes to get gov't contracts, then the overall effect on profits may just be breakeven or even positive. The losers would be the Indian citizenry. The company isn't doing so well now possibly due to a culture of corruption, but that kind of long-term culture analysis is hard for traders. But generally, fraud isn't severe enough to enough to endanger the company, it's just taking some money out of shareholders' pockets, but dispassionate traders don't usually sell out of retaliation.
again i don't care whether its done with an LLM or not. there's no reason to think openai will only build LLMs. recognizing borders of its knowledge is a reasonable thing to include in an agi definition i suppose, but does not seem intractable.

for the second one, ai drivers like tesla's current version is already skipping the object detection/classification and instead uses deep learning on the entire video frame and could absolutely use the ball or any other context to change behavior, even without the particular internal monologue describe there.
Shocking news about the company that fraudulently left "open" in its name after ripping off donors.

I think the headline is too generous here. More accurate would be "OpenAI neglects to deliver opt-out system..."
> Urban teachers are not getting rich teaching poor kids. Having seen the classrooms first hand, the kids lives are like a low-grade war zone. Sometimes they even work themselves to pay for their charter school tuition, and keep the lights on at home. Siphoning public funds off to the pockets of PE owned schools is not going to improve outcomes.

Nobody is getting rich running schools. But everyone in the Baltimore public school district continues to draw salaries even though in some high schools many kids are reading at a kindergarten level. https://foxbaltimore.com/news/project-baltimore/77-tested-at....

So let the PE folks take their shot, or at least provide ways for the small fraction of involved parents to get their kids out of failing schools.

> Mormons' affluence is in spite of their faith, not because of it.

Mormons were literally driven out of the rest of the country for their religious beliefs and settled land that has no resources and can barely support farms and agriculture. Yet they built a thriving civilization in the middle of nowhere. Utah is one of the most stunning success stories in the world, up there with Israel and Singapore.

> Having lived in a cult-like religion, I'd rather be less wealthy yet mentally well than 'socialized' into magical thinking and all the various idiotic garbage I was taught. Public schools are often one of the only ways kids can escape abusive, exploitive, or otherwise unhealthy circumstances.

Mormons are tied with Jews for the happiest people in the country. Being socialized into religion, with uniform norms and expectations, is for most people mentally healthy. They’re also literally healthier. They live significantly longer than non-LDS white people: https://www.demographic-research.org/volumes/vol10/3/10-3.pd....

This is wonderful, and so happy to see the post where the author ran it locally on their Macbook.

I am curious, is there an equivalent light model for speech to text, that can run real-time on the MacBook? I'm just playing around with AI models and was looking into this (a fully locally running app that lets you talk to your computer).
Yes it says 'hidden for 30 days' and every damn month I click it again.

People eat maraschino cherries on ice cream sundaes in many countries where people claim the dye is banned, yet the cherries still contain the die. Maybe you should reevaluate your position.
There are many reasons for this but primarily its simply that it is a wealthy country with a functioning legal system. US courts are generally fair; if biased. This has changed with many recent rulings by the SCOTUS. But there exists a culture of generally respecting laws (and an apparatus to enforce those laws).
The people you hear giving up today have tried to fix the system. It's rather insulting to insinuate otherwise.
Israel is weaker politically and internationally than it has ever been, dramatically so. It can only have military superiority as long as western nations are supplying it with weapons and political cover.

>It doesn't sound like the number of refills is the real problem if you're worried about someone staying for 12 hours.

A butt in seat doesn't cost the business any money as long as it's not displacing any paying customers (ie. the place isn't packed). Soda might be cheap but it's not free, so dispensing 8L of product does cost the business money.

>If the rule was "you have to leave after 2 hours" or "after an hour, you get one last refill", that would solve the problem and affect almost nobody else, while being nice and explicit about expectations. (Or cut those numbers in half if you want, it's just an example.)

See my other point about people riding up the limit. When you institute an explicit limit, you end up having to be more conservative because an explicit limit emboldens people to ride up right against the limit, rather than a fuzzy limit with the expectation that people act "reasonably". Instituting the limits you proposed would cause the problematic customers to chug soda within the allotted time, for instance. It also becomes a hassle for everyone else who's being reasonable. If I'm meeting with some friends after and need to kill an hour or two, I suddenly have to worry about whether I can stay without getting kicked out, etc. Most people, even above-average utilization customers lose out from this, and the only people who benefit are the ones taking advantage to an absurd degree.

> In May 2022, Hindenburg took a short position in Twitter, Inc. following the announcement of its acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk. After Musk's attempted termination of the deal, Hindenburg took a significant long position on Twitter, betting against Musk on the acquisition to close.

Something about that individual coming to power along with the other oligarchs? The coming political climate looks to be one where money is more important than the rule of law (even more so than usual), which might be bad news for a business like that.
So you're saying that palestinians are not terrorists, but if you were palestinian, you would become one. That's certainly a way to make a point, I guess.

I’m a software engineer with experience in product/fullstack development and infrastructure. I thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments and am eager to take on scope and responsibilities!

A notable achievement of mine was leading the end-to-end integration of LLMs, including backend development, GPU infrastructure w/ k8s, model training, serving, and prompting. I managed and optimized ML infrastructure to handle over 500k+ daily messages while reducing costs by $30k/month.
It's not extraordinary to state that every single thing we eat[0] can have a study designed around it to show that it might cause cancer -- that is how studies and chemicals (things we eat) work.

[0]Except water, maybe. I'd bet if you shoved enough water into a rat at minimum you could observe an increase in tumor growth rate though.
They don't have the same rights. Can their relatives gain citizenship? No, that's reserved for Jewish Israelis. There are many such laws.
Fun fact - some things that cause cancer can help prevent cancer. Several studies have concluded that marinading meat in beer significantly reduces the carcinogenic compounds developed by frying or grilling meat.
Yes. What do you think Grok AI's real-time information being sourced on posts of individual users (similar to early internet) as opposed to established media (like AP)?
Surely we want to be scheduling and calling LLMs from temporalio, dagster - even cron - instead of whatever this is. Why put the LLM at the middle?
As a rule, I think physics should be expected to make less sense the further it gets from the human scale. It's not because it's inherently more complex, it's because we benefit from millions of years of brains evolving to understand what we can see and touch.
I think google did this to force AI on us. Does not matter to me, I left google a year or 2 ago.

Makes me wonder about Google and AI, with my tin-foil hat on, I cannot help but think Google/AI searches your cache and cookies looking for info.

How do you know it hallucinated? Maybe your task was one too many and it is only able to handle zero tasks (which would appear to be true in your case).
No, but what of it?

The "Israeli Air Force intelligence division" is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Intelligence_Group

It's not exactly known as a propaganda center or something.
There were - nothing in the article counters that.

You are more than welcome to call it a fake pretense but the fact remains that the majority of Chinese imports are not restricted and that includes tech/high-tech related items. If you have nothing more than America is ironic I can see where your endless questions stem from.

I question the same things frequently. I routinely try to ask chatgpt to help me understand the openai api documentation and how to use it and it rarely is helpful, and frequently tells me things that are just blatantly untrue. At least nowadays I can link it directly to the documentation for it to read.

But I dont understand why their own documentation and products and lots of examples using them wouldn't be the number one thing they would want to train the models on (or fine tune, or at least make available through a tool)
