And the ensuing throwing out forks protest?


Is this the actual article? It looks like some live twitter-style thread with a bunch a random updates.


It's just how the NYT prefers to provide a "live updates" thread. They will also write other, more fully fleshed out, articles on whatever topic is available via "live updates".


They put out an plain old article:

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/02/technology/sam-bankman-fr...

via there "share" feature..


Not sure I like the unnecessary dig at people who study more math and don’t study enough English classes at the end there.


I agree, but thought it was an attempt to explain where SBF who claimed to be a "good guy" came from.

Especially since his sequoia profile mentions he thought books useless.


Yeah that's fair - was just a smidge closer to "screw STEM people" than it should have been.


The implication that only people who studied literature have morals is frankly a stunning insight into the authors view of the world


We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38122190. (Nothing wrong with your comment, I just want to save space at the top of the page.)


This one seems without the chatgpt-added details. Not nice to read, thought.


It is. Just click on show more before the threads

I wish there would be some way to implement sponsorblock for podcasts.


Maybe [Comskip](https://github.com/erikkaashoek/Comskip) could be used for this, depending on whether or not the hosts are doing the read.


> I get too many of those those “Hi Joe” pings without any content.

It's not Google's fault your coworkers suck at chatting.


That's one of the main thing I miss since switching to an iPhone. On a Pixel, there's almost always some company name displayed when I get a call from an unknown number. I'm guessing it's based on Google looking up the phone number.


Comparing the fr to the fr_CA texts though, the Canadian one is wordier for no good reason. E.g., "nous nous efforçons de les protéger, tout en vous permettant d'en garder le contrôle." vs "nous faisons tout notre possible pour protéger vos renseignements et pour vous permettre de les gérer."


> A glass condo copy and pasted in CAD software and then rotated to fit a plot of land without consideration for anything...

There's a similar issue in new suburban neighbourhood, where the same floor plan is copied and pasted down a whole street, yet the house on the corner lot lacks windows on wall facing the perpendicular street... It's so disheartening to see.


Oof. :(


More precisely, French (cent soixante quinze) is actually: hundred sixty fifteen. Seventies, eighties (quatre-vingt = four twenties), and nineties (quatre-vingt-dix = four twenties and ten) are a mess in most French dialects.


Isn't that most software?


I think "most" is way too broad. I don't think I have one program on my system that is like that. I find this is typically found when a company with no internal dev uses a lowest bidder to offshore software.

Do you think that devs from FAANG, MS, Adobe, open-source projects, etc really have no idea what they are programming? Unless software dev is like an iceberg where there is much much more unseen than seen???


I don't know. I suspect most software is actually internal or proprietary. I don't think that developpers working on some custom widgets factory optimization software actually use it to optimize their mini-factory at home. Or that many developers run their own telecom on the side and need all kinds of software to route calls. Same is probably true of FAANG developpers too: how many adwords engineers actually run their own advertising campaign? Or have a personal need to store massive amounts of data in their own bigtable?


Not a huge difference, but it's actually 11 CAD, so closer to 7 EUR.


Though tax is on charged separately in Canada, so probably closer to 8 EUR. I’ll admit, in Canada, assuming you’re in a busy part of town, I’ve gotten used to the idea that a fulfilling meal out costs $15-25. The only way I’ve been able to reduce prices further than that is to use a service like MealPal or stack discounts from credit cards and app cash back to get another 10-12% off or so. Not to say there aren’t cheaper places to eat at, but I’d have to drive a bit of a distance to get there. Land/rent really is too damn high everywhere “walkable”... The cheapest places in town are always the ones that have been there “forever” or have the smallest, sketchiest locations, but still have lineups around the block, or they’re simply fast food with coupons.
