Heh, this is actually more helpful than I thought it'd be. Octordle is a surprisingly fun variant with just enough difficulty/time investment.

lol

Author makes a great point about the destruction of the translation industry. I wonder how insulting it must be for a professional translator to be handed AI-translated garbage with a "see? we did most of the work for you already, you just have to edit it" and have to redo it all from scratch the right way with a 50% pay cut.

Judge's (paraphrased?) quote: "But the law still expected investors to 'act reasonably' before acting 'on the zeitgeist of the moment', he added."

That's a pretty helpful defense for celebrity endorsers of FTX, I should think.

Just reading your comments gave me a pretty good understanding of some Rust concepts I didn't know about, like changing object ownership based on what function is accessing it. Nice write up!

AS the author says: writing up content you've learned to share with others is the best crucible for figuring out what you really know and don't know. I've found myself following rabbitholes while trying to explain something in a blog post, and pretty soon I either hit excellent examples or counterexamples.

I'm prepared for a whole lotta "I'm exercising my right to not incriminate myself/5th Amendment" answers ala Shkreli.

Ooof. $43 million in undisclosed loans his CRO didn't even know about, AND he bought property in the Bahamas? It's like SBF passed out a "Welcome to Fraud" deck at the beach.

I'm a strong proponent of Fix #2: treat things as iterators not iterables and let the old libraries figure out ways to rewrite or wrap. Not having to think when using generators would be a godsend.

Heh, reminds me of this episode of Clarissa Knows it All when she has to admit her award winning poetry was generated by her computer and she got in trouble for it. Sounds like this is a question that's been asked by society for a looooong time. (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0542226/)

I still can't believe their internal software was known to be so bad that it was causing people to be falsely arrested and the CTO's reaction wasn't immediately to make a corporate policy to not file anything with police until they got their act together.

Kinda makes you wonder if the OpenAI team is rapidly dealing with memory leaks caused by maliciously formed prompts to ChatGPT right now. Or maybe they wrote it in a memory-safe language?

I was surprised that the relationship between CO2 and GMST was so linear past around 1200AD. What's really weird is I don't see the expected acceleration due to the industrial revolution in the 1800s. The chart seems to imply its a function of population more than technology?

Probably the level that gives you the best bang for your buck, unless other considerations like security/sandboxing are important to you.
