“The repricing is from today onwards. We expect significant upside to both crude and products,” she added, suggesting the futures price of Brent, the international benchmark, could climb to $150 to $200 a barrel.
Sadly, no. Our experiment is fully explained by standard physics.
"I think what people really want is prosperity, agency, the ability to have an interesting life, and to be fulfilled and have some impact," he said.
‘Maximize utility’
In addition to Gary Wang and Nishad Singh, Ellison was a key lieutenant in Bankman-Fried’s crypto conglomerate. However, having dated Bankman-Fried on and off since the fall of 2018, she had arguably a more privileged window into the FTX founder’s mind.
On Tuesday, she testified that Bankman-Fried had at one point told her that he gave himself a 5% chance “he would become president someday,” hinting at his alleged egotism. “When you say ‘president,’ what are you referring to?” asked Danielle Sassoon, the prosecutor questioning her. “Of the United States,” responded Ellison.
On Wednesday, Ellison gave the jurors a further glimpse into Bankman-Fried’s potential motivations for allegedly committing fraud. Shortly after the lunch break, she said that Bankman-Fried was a utilitarian, meaning that “he thought the only moral value that mattered was whatever would maximize utility,” which she explained as “essentially trying to create the greatest good for the greatest number of people or beings.”
And as opposed to other utilitarians, Bankman-Fried saw that “rules like ‘don’t lie’ or ‘don’t steal’ didn’t fit into that framework,” she said, adding that his views slowly influenced hers.
“When I started working at Alameda,” she testified, “I don’t think I would have believed [it] if you told me that a few years later I would be sending false balance sheets to our lenders or taking customer money.”
sbf doesn't understand risk
"let’s say there’s a game: 51 percent, you double the Earth out somewhere else; 49 percent, it all disappears. Would you play that game? And would you keep on playing that, double or nothing?"
The same risk applies to public grocery. “If governments want public stores to improve affordability, they have to fund the boring, expensive parts: procurement, distribution, workforce, data systems. Otherwise, we’re not setting these interventions up for impact.”
Kennedy, apparently alluding to his exchange with Warren, said he had on Wednesday told a Democratic senator who challenged Trump’s claims of a 600% reduction in drug prices: “Well, if the drug was $100, and it raised the price to $600, that would be a 600% rise. Well, if it drops from $600 to $100, that’s a 600% savings.”
“That’s right,” Trump interjected as Kennedy was explaining. But it’s not.
“And I think one of the things that has been most gratifying, after – immediately after the story published was, I have been inundated by additional sourcing going up to the highest levels of the government, thanking us for doing the work, providing additional corroborating information.”
Despite our excitement, open theoretical questions remain that prevent us from definitively claiming that physics beyond the Standard Model has been observed. The most serious question arises from so-called "charming penguins," a set of processes present in the Standard Model, whose contributions are extremely tricky to predict. Recent estimates of these charming penguins suggest their effects are not large enough to explain our data.
In the diagram of the bottom quark decay, the virtual particles appear as a loop and a series of squiggles. The final drawing—first introduced by Mikhail Shifman, Arkady Vainshtein and Valentin Zakharov—almost resembles a bird with a head, a round, white belly and two feet.
I can get so much done, but after just an hour or two my mental energy for the day feels almost entirely depleted
The simple truth is that I am less valuable than I used to be. It stings to be made obsolete, but it’s fun to code on the train, too. And if this technology keeps improving, then all of the people who tell me how hard it is to make a report, place an order, upgrade an app or update a record — they could get the software they deserve, too. That might be a good trade, long term.

If AI isn’t to blame for the terrible job market for young people, then what is? In nearly every sector of the economy, the pace of hiring has slowed to levels last seen shortly after the Great Recession. A job market with few hiring opportunities is especially punishing for young people entering the workforce, including those with a college degree.
