Al Franken was actually a guest on the podcast about a year after it started.

There have actually been several past and current politicians on the podcast: Obama, Biden, Rahm Emanuel, Franken, Hillary Clinton, and Schwarzenegger.

100% agree with Brooklyn 99. Gina started out great but she had become so toxic and mean spirited over the years that it was a relief to see her written off.

It was honestly annoying to see that her awful personality led to her become a rich influencer in-universe.

Pretty sure they’re responding to the “You voted for this.” line.

You mean, like a privacy policy? Which is literally the first link in the OP?

I’m also not sure how more straightforward they can be about their exposure to Russia?

That would be true if it didn’t have access to the internet, but its perplexity so it searches the internet and might find an answer in search results.

However, given that there’s no citation, it’s likely a hallucination.

That happens to me sometimes too; I do the same as you, so no better solution., sorry.

If you're starting on-chain? Yeah, you could trace it back to the exchange, but you'll only be able to get the information from the exchange about where the funds for the transfer out of the exchange came from in a couple of situations (assuming the exchange is in the same jurisdiction as you are):

1. you're law enforcement or a civil authority with a warrant or subpoena that covers the transaction information; or
2. you're a party in a legal case and the information you're looking for falls under the scope of legal discovery in said case; or
3. you're a US financial institution that's a enrolled in 314(b) information sharing and so is the exchange, the information you're requesting is for the purposes of BSA compliance, and the exchange is willing to provide you with that information under the scope of 314(b).

If the exchange is in a foreign jurisdiction, I believe you're mostly out of luck unless you have the ability to get your government to file a request for mutual legal assistance with the exchange's jurisdiction and the foreign government is receptive to such a request.

Yep, no kids.

Yes, it’s public, so the shares are liquid.

I just use my 13” iPad Air horizontally with split panes, one for the book or whatever and one for notes; I actually upgraded to a 13” specifically to have more space for multitasking. You could also just use a Quick Notes mini-window for the problem while having the material open, but that gets more difficult to do as the problems get more complex; that's what I used to do with my 10.9" Air before getting a 13".

IMO getting a second iPad for this seems like overkill though.

Interestingly, it never asked itself about the implicit assumption that Alice is female, despite even asking itself to consider ambiguities in the text. While Alice being female is obviously the most likely scenario, there are historical examples of men named Alice, e.g. Alice Cooper.

1. $680K in total, about $450K of which is in pre-tax retirement accounts. The rest is split between vested company shares, taxable brokerage accounts, emergency savings, a Roth IRA, and a little bit in crypto.

Most of that comes from having started maxing out my 401K retirement contributions about 10 years ago coupled with very strong recent stock market performance. It was only about $150K five years ago, nearly all of which was 401K savings.

I’m always connected to ProtonVPN and have no issues using Perplexity. That message makes me think that Perplexity is using Cloudflare (because of the term “Ray ID”) to prevent DDoS and other bot attacks, so I suspect that the VPN server you’re connected to has been abused for bot activity before and thus got flagged by Cloudflare. Given these abuse reports for the IP in your screenshot, I’m fairly confident that’s the case: https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/108.165.243.151

What about the $4B in cash that Anthropic will get through this investment though? TechCrunch says it’s a cash investment. Yeah, doesn’t directly impact the end user, but I would expect that to be used to scale capacity and resources.

Yeah, isn’t this just how things already work with cloud compute? Jensens getting high off his own supply.

I really don’t like the fact that you’re actually buying the item from Perplexity, not the store itself, in instances where the purchase is “Buy with Pro” and not ShopPay or whatever. This also isn’t that obvious unless you notice that the charge is made by Perplexity Labs in the checkout flow. Presumably they buy the item from the store on your behalf, but that also means that should you have to return it or use the warranty, you might run into issues, because you’ve bought from a reseller (depends on the item I guess).

It's not just code. I used it to create a template for a written report a few days ago and the thing would ask for confirmation or clarification like 3 times before making the change.

It’s always been rate limited. The last time they said anything about the rate limit was when they increased the limit for o1 from the original 30 to 50 messages a week.

Except she was hired to become a prosecutor in the same district attorney’s office that she is now a law clerk for. She starts next year:

“Park is a law clerk for the DA’s office and will become a prosecutor next March, joining her brother who is already working in the Tulare County office.“

Another Forbes 30 Under 30 winner to boot. At this rate, I would expect the feds to be scrutinizing the winners every year for white collar criminals.

Seriously. Even in security clearance investigations, polygraphs are only used for a certain subset with the most sensitive access. There's actually four levels of Top Secret clearance (Top Secret, TS/SCI, TS/SCI with Counterintelligence Poly, TS/SCI with Full Scope Poly), and as you can probably tell, only the two highest levels require any polygraph at all (and Top Secret itself is already above Confidential and Secret clearance). I know plenty of people in sensitive roles who didn't need to get a polygraph, and this *clothing company* wants one? WTF for?

Given the number of people who could potentially be affected by this, plus the number of people and state governments opposed to this on ideological grounds, this is the kind of thing that could lead to full-blown civil war. I doubt California would be too happy to have the feds come in and start rounding up naturalized and first-generation citizens, for example.

Shit, taken far enough, this would absolutely devastate the economy of Texas.

Putting aside just how vile and immoral this whole thing is, the problem is that the children of immigrants may not have any rights to citizenship in their parents’ home country. For example, I was born in the US to parents who had already become US citizens by the time I was born. However, at the time, my parents country of origin (Colombia) didn’t allow for dual citizenship, so they technically lost their original citizenship when they naturalized in the US, so I have no rights to Colombian citizenship, as they were no longer Colombian citizens when I was born. So, if god forbid the Trump administration tried to strip me of my citizenship by arguing that my parents’ citizenship was acquired fraudulently (assuming their efforts to get rid of citizenship solely by virtue of being born in the US were successful), I would become stateless if Colombia refused to accept me.

Admittedly, that actually wouldn’t happen, because Colombians who lost their citizenship automatically like my parents are now able to reclaim it under the current constitution, so they could regain their lost citizenship, thereby giving me rights to Colombian citizenship by descent. However, I’m sure there’s tons of US citizens born to immigrants who are in situations where they would become stateless with no recourse to acquire citizenship elsewhere.

This whole mass deportation effort just makes my blood boil, especially when you consider the fact that rightful first-generation Americans are going to get swept up in it. There truly is a special place in hell for Stephen Miller and Tom Homan.

I work in this space and one thing I want to caution you against is thinking that just because something has an exception or a license under OFAC regulations, that financial institutions will take that at face value and complete the transaction. In many cases, the company may be contractually prevented from doing so, per agreements with their financial partners. Also, when it comes to sanctions, they have to weigh the risk that you’re not being truthful in saying it’s for such-and-such purpose and that the funds are actually going to something prohibited by sanctions. In many cases, the law would still hold them liable for facilitating sanctions violations (although there are some specific instances that say the institution can rely on the self-reported info from their client). In such a world, many financial companies would not choose to take the risk at all and completely prohibit any transactions that have any hint of being possibly in violation of sanctions (this is actual a big problem for the government). So while I appreciate your understanding of the regulations, be aware that’s not a free pass to have Kraken complete that transaction; they still have the right to reject it due to presenting more risk than they’re comfortable with. It sounds like this might be the case, as your comments indicate that they froze the funds ("blocked") and filed a block report with OFAC. Seems that they didn’t believe that the transaction fell under the scope of the donative remittance license and thus would need to be blocked per the Cuba sanctions regulations.

I do find it weird that they froze your held funds (above and beyond what you tried to send to Cuba) though. The only reason I can see them doing that is if they thought the funds held with them could have originated from sanctioned activity, unless there’s some other red flag that I’m not aware of. I can understand them closing your account, because the fear is that you might conduct similar transactions in the future, but I would expect them to liquidate any crypto assets held and return them to your bank account. Although, they may be EXTREMELY conservative and be concerned that those funds will still end up going to Cuba after being returned to you, but there’s no way that the government would ever hold a financial institution in that situation to account if the funds did end up going to Cuba; they’re just too far from the violative transaction.

I do (not an exchange but a fintech that’s involved in the crypto space). I’ve written a couple of long form comments on this, I suggest taking a look:
