I just had it write me code in a language I've never used before in my life, and actually create a script to automate something I needed automating. Pretty useful if you ask me. Might have it write me a few discord bots since I'm not familiar with the API.
Post-truth is a result of the truth no longer really being knowable. You can't know if science was bought and paid for, you can't know whether Russia actually did this or that, you can't really know if X or Y is good for you, or you're just being sold something or someone is trying to control you, whether an image or video is a deep fake. That's the real post-truth. A reality where any one "fact" could be true depending on what you believe. In this reality, who you are does matter. If you're someone who actually believes in the virtues of truth and honesty then I'm more inclined to believe you, whether or not you're actually truthful. This is the real origin of post-truth. If one cannot really know the truth without experiencing it first hand, one must delegate their belief to someone who they feel has values aligned to their own.
It explains the actual structure of the language in a way I've not seen anywhere else. The creator passed away last year but the content is still incredible and useful.
Agreed. It's tragic that she passed away. The content of her 92 videos describe Japanese grammar better than any textbook in existence (ignoring her own small booklet - and unfortunately she passed before she could finish her newer book).
This and internet addiction are definitely more responsible than people are letting on. Also the unwillingness a lot of people have to commit and/or start families. And especially the negative marketing done towards women with respect to having children.
How it's expensive, how it will ruin your career, how it will destroy your body, etc. Talk to gen-Z women, many of them are inundated with this kind of thinking.
It is expensive and it is true that building most careers becomes more difficult if you take extended time off. And some women do experience extreme changes to their body. That "kind of thinking" sounds entirely fact-based, not "negative".
I think most people grow up with intense, sometimes overwhelming pressure to marry and start a family. Having some facts discussed on the other side of that argument seems useful and long overdue.
I mean, it's a wonder women still choose to have children. I see it is a triumph of the human spirit, because through a purely capitalist and individualist lenses having children doesn't make much sense.
Does not make much sense for a woman. Until recently, with the advent of a relatively safe society and without birth control options, they basically had no say in having children.
Now, we get to find out the market price (excluding long term externalities) of birthing a child (and child #2, 3, 4, 5, etc) without the fact of being physically weaker tilting the scales.
FTX is not crypto. If you had a bank that accepted ears of corn and bushels of apples for deposit, and trading between them, you wouldn't blame farmers when that bank stole everyone's deposits.
I said it was ridiculous to claim that Tether collapsing would cause "most major exchanges to go under". Congratulations on totally twisting my words though. "Most major exchanges" don't have much exposure to tether.
And a bank is not the ears of corn in the analogy. The thief here is FTX which is like the bank. You don't blame the corn for being stolen. Yes, blame the thief.
???? How do you interview a man who just more or less stole tens of billions of dollars from customers, lied about it repeatedly, is trying to cover up evidence of that, and is arrogantly tweeting while still not being arrested, and not once mention any of that?
This garbage reads like "a day in the life of a silicon valley CEO" or something. The dude just perpetrated one of the largest financial frauds in the history of the world. Bernie Madoff level, and this is all the NYT has to say. Totally disgusting to defend the NYT here.
Dude said before Congress that they never trade or leverage using customer funds. That was a complete and utter lie.
He "testified to Congress and met with regulators" hugely downplays his attempts at regulatory capture via donations and attempted backroom deals (Gary Gensler is implicated in this too). Including the alleged prid pro quo.
It mentions his "effective altruism" and "philanthropy" but doesn't mention who his donations are to, or the fact that half of it was just a guise and actually he spent millions on housing in the Bahamas or in New York.

What charges have been filed?
What has he been convicted of?
Comparing him to Madoff is disingenuous. Prior to Madoff being charged, the media was the same... they're not going to print words like "perpetrated one of the largest financial frauds in the world" without charges. The only thing that screams is "defamation lawsuit". To be clear, I have no boat in this race. But calling the NYT out for not making statements that they do not (yet) have the ability to prove is entirely problematic.
None to very little. This can then be reflected in the article. Or maybe you don’t publish because all answers are some version of ‘no comment’. The downside is that you don’t publish the article, the upside is keeping your journalistic integrity.
