In the short term, sure, but SBF liked to make big risks and it seems inevitable that he would have been on the losing side of a bet that he'd made with money that was supposed to be safer than a treasury bond.

Additionally, they outright lied about things like their reserves. The website had what claimed to be a real time ticker showing the reserve level that was actually a weighted random number. SBF claimed that he fell victim to poor risk mana

Even if FTX had never collapsed, I would still be shocked that Lewis didn't get proof of the management team's charitable donations. Through the whole book, Lewis keeps saying that all the profits were getting rolled into charity.

Great recommendations! I've read all three of those books and they're terrific in different ways and all worth reading.

Eh, it is hit or miss. Same with definitions of words. I'm a native speaker of American English, so I know the most common definitions of words. When I'm touching a word for a definition, it's usually because it's being

I agree with you. I had a bit of a falling out with a friend and wanted to check in on her a few years later. The immediately preceding messages in Messenger were the largely-forgotten unpleasantness. Quite awkward. It really drove home how

This is my attitude towards security disclosures. In this case, Amazon approved the disclosure. But even if they hadn't, it's better for the good guys and bad guys to know about problems when the alternative is only the bad guys k

I find the theory interesting that the creator (or creators) ended up in jail and plan to rug as soon as they're released.

I completely agree with you. And you're assuming that a crypto network even exists that could support that kind of transaction volume, so the reality is even more absurd.

Tether has to be backed by USD-denominated reserves for that to work. If it's actually backed by something else (or nothing) then all that value is going somewhere other than the dollar

I wonder if they could have built a better algorithm if they had kept Google Reader around.

I totally agree. For some reason, my work computer has Teams for work and Teams for personal use. Um, my friends aren't exactly hanging out on Teams.

Reminds me of the repeated calls my parents received to refinance their mortgage under some government program. It took them months to realize it was legit.

My letter carrier is fantastic. We stop and catch up for a bit when he's delivering. I see so much mail for previous residents in my Informed Delivery email that never arrives because he knows who lives here and returns to sender for u

That's surprising. The CVS a mile from my house uses USPS Priority Mail. It might actually be cheaper if a pharmacy tech spent ten minutes driving it here.

The limitations are massively frustrating. I asked Gemini to suggest prayers for my friends based on a search of my inbox (which includes social network notification emails). It refused outright.

Fellow head of data here. For a while, my team ran on MySQL, a shared file server we mapped as a local drive, a team server in the back closet for tasks too large for our laptops, a MySQL database, an SVN server, and a Wikimedia server for

> Google appears to be making strides in catching up. I say it's even more than that. OpenAI had a bigger lead when it released GPT-2 than it does now. They're burning through cash to try to hold on to a lead of a few months ov

I've gotten similar pushback. I asked for a solution involving curl and was told that that was not something Gemini could do. Then I clicked the button to see the other drafts of Gemini's responses and got two versions that worked

Great explanation. I was amazed when I started using Claude because I could find a recently-transcribed novella, upload it, and ask specific questions. I'm downright giddy to try a 1M+ model.

I think some of the most useful apps will involve combining this level of AI with traditional algorithms. I've written lots of code using the OpenAI APIs and I look forward to seeing what can be done here. If you type, "How has ma

I was in the field at the time and I agree. I thought it had to be what the big boys used. Then I realized that my job involves huge amounts of structured data and our MySQL instance handled everything quite well.

I like this idea. And something similar for evaluating blockchains and sticking with a relational database instead.

Can confirm that last part. I get so many Facebook reset messages, it's a bit ridiculous.

I agree. Early in my career, I thought a manager was like a driving teacher, someone to help guide you and hit the brake when you're about to crash. Now that I'm a manager, I think of it more like being a snowplow; you wake up in

Terrific explanation, and it matches my experience running a data science team. I encourage my team to start with the simplest possible approach to every problem, which requires understanding how different algorithms work. Does this project

I agree with you. Being a corporate department head, I've led exactly one project that's had me digging through my DS&A textbook. But it's much more common to need to go beyond the limits of an off-the-shelf deep learning

I feel the same way. I left Reddit altogether in the protest and haven't come back. Suddenly I have hours of time back every week.
