Profit generating services at FAANG's pay good money for engineers to be woken up in the middle of the night to fix whatever problems might arise.

It's been over 24 hours.

There is a serious bug, and the backups aren't working as expected.

Hugs to the SRE's.


The market is massive, play your cards right and this could be just the beginning. Do you speak to users in person much and have an idea of what people want?


I speak to a couple of users directly through email. An Apple Watch companion seems to be what people want the most so that’s what I’ll be working on next


One of these days we're going to need to give these models a mortgage and some mouths to feed and make it clear to them that if they keep on developing biases from their training data everyone will shun them and their family will go hungry and they won't be able to make their payments and they'll just generally have a really bad time.

After that we'll make them sit through Legal's approved D&I video series, then it's off to the races.


Reinforcement learning?


This is a stellar idea begging for a new dataset.


Underrated comment.


If possible could you include a license? I don't like touching code without one, as sharing modifications and/or derivatives is a potential copyright violation.


Here it is - the community repo: https://github.com/jasonjmcghee/little-worlds


I will make a community repo with a license!


> If he has the money, fleeing before charges were laid was probably even rational, as there is no reason to expect the legal system is equipped to deliver justice in something so new.

Except what's next? Live in hiding in a foreign country? Craft a new identity and find new chains to exploit? I suppose 18 years old is a good time to learn that you can have all the money in the world, but it won't do shit for you if you can't spend time with the people you want to.

I'd wager this individual could get much more satisfaction out of developing novel, interesting mathematics that do actual good for humanity, surrounded by a group of like minded high performing individuals. But he seems to have thrown hopes of that out the window. It's sad, really.

But I'm perhaps projecting.


Regarding these like minded high performing individuals surviving in institutions - after a couple of sigmas and making some money, it can become difficult to value their esteem. Canada is full of people who have fled their home countries with their money, foreign capital flight drives our entire real estate and supercar markets, wealthy fugitives as a lifestyle choice are probably more common than we expect.


The language could represent that, but you pay per operation so checks tend to get thrown out the window.


This part seems relevant:

> It also saved on costs by limiting the number of interactions between the platform and outside entities. For example, when Indexed needed to calculate the total value held within a pool, instead of checking token prices on an exchange such as Uniswap, it sometimes extrapolated from the value and weight of the largest token within the pool, called the “benchmark” token.

> This way, it reduced the fees it paid for transactions on the Ethereum blockchain.

This cost-saving mechanism ultimately allowed the hack to take place.


See "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and give proper thanks to the civil rights activists.

At no point in history have we ever had a mental illness treatment doctrine that we can look back on and say "that was a good thing we did, go us". I happen to believe that the present day will be viewed upon no more favorably, what with our pills by the pocket-full and unregulated medical advertisements on social media. (Instagram sponsored content would seem to have the whole world believing they are in desperate need of antidepressants and Adderall, paid for by... the shillers of antidepressants and Adderall, how interesting.)


Yes, Kesey's masterpiece could be remade today and would not be any less true. WhenI was in patient I had a nurse stealing my Klonopin telling me I had already taken it. When I told my lawyer she was gone the next day.

The fact that I could not get my doctors to look at my mental illness as an immune disorder (even after I was diagnosed with Lupus) as being the cause of my mood disorder tells you everything about how ignorant practical care is for the mentally ill. I just had a psychotic break after catching COVID as well.

Mental Illnesses are immune disorders.


I'm a fan of government availability not government enforcement.

These things aren't even available to people if they want them.


The same Microsoft that just issued 20+% pay cuts to everyone not living in a "high cost of living" area (CA, NY, WA)?

And staff are leaving? Wow. I didn't know that. I just uh... you're telling me now for the first time.


> The same Microsoft that just issued 20+% pay cuts to everyone not living in a "high cost of living" area (CA, NY, WA)?

Citation needed.


Did they really? I hadn’t heard about that.


When did this happen? Is it new?


Couple: I don't think we're ready to commit the massive amount of time/money/love/etc. required to raise a kid yet, but what do you say we get a dog?

Ilrwbwrkhv: Pyscopaths.


Good idea, chocolate for instance is always in then "absolutely not" category, but if you dig a bit deeper you find that a dog such as my own (50 lb) can consume over a pound of milk chocolate without cause for concern. https://www.petful.com/pet-health/how-much-chocolate-toxic-d...
