If a leftie is turned, is he/she a leftie anymore? Even of the horseshoe variety? Perhaps such a person has just become a RWNJ. https://www.emptywheel.net/2022/04/15/matryoshka-doll-the-aleksandr-babakov… RWNJ = Rightwing Nutjob. Like " Batshit Crazy ".

Dear City of Miami: Thank you for your email. However, the PDF documents are not attached. The file still links to .psd files. City of Miami, on February 4, 2022 kindly submitted a records request for any and all correspondence between the City of Miami concerning CityCoins, MIA Coin and Stacks (STX). Additionally, any and all related correspondence concerning CityCoins, MIA Coin, Stacks (STX), Digital World Acquisition Corp and Harvard Management Company. 1. On March 7, 2022, Miami came to us noting 13,092 e-mail records were returned for the above keywords. 2. Today on April 15, 2022 we have yet to receive the records in a timely and reliable manner. 3. Given several factors of delay in receiving these records, we must take our concern to The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). FinCEN is the bureau of the United States Department of the Treasury that collects and analyzes information about financial transactions in order to combat domestic and international money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes. Sending you the very best regards.

Moscow Stock Exchange Index Is Slumping Toward Its Invasion Low

Moscow Stock Exchange Index Is Slumping Toward Its Invasion Low <https://wallstreetonparade.com/2022/04/moscow-stock-exchange-index-is-slump…> By Pam Martens and Russ Martens <https://wallstreetonparade.com/about-3/about/>: April 14, 2022 ~ The Moscow Stock Exchange Index, known as MOEX, tanked 4.9 percent on Thursday to close at 2,404.73. The Index is now down 36.5 percent year-to-date. The stock exchange had shuttered stock trading after the trading session on February 25, 2022, the day after the Russian military invaded Ukraine. The Moscow Stock Exchange did not reopen for stock trading until March 24. The Russian government had previously announced on March 1 that its Finance Ministry would use up to $10.3 billion from the National Wealth Fund to prop up share prices of Russian companies by buying up shares on the exchange. Those funds would appear to be running out as the MOEX had a rough tumble on Thursday and closed near the lows of the day.

InCoder: A Generative Model for Code In-Filling and Synthesis
by Karl Semich 15 Apr '22

This is something you should know about, use, and understand how works, probably in that order. https://twitter.com/dan_fried/status/1514265047761043456 https://sites.google.com/view/incoder-code-models InCoder InCoder: A Generative Model for Code In-Filling and Synthesis Daniel Fried*, Armen Aghajanyan*, Jessy Lin, Sida Wang, Eric Wallace, Freda Shi, Ruiqi Zhong, Wen-tau Yih, Luke Zettlemoyer, and Mike Lewis arXiv, 2022 Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.05999 Demo: https://huggingface.co/spaces/facebook/incoder-demo Model weights and instructions: https://github.com/dpfried/incoder/blob/main/README.md Examples: https://sites.google.com/view/incoder-code-models/home/examples Inserting and completing code in a single model We train a generative, decoder-only Transformer using a causal-masking training objective (from CM3, Aghajanyan et al. 2022) , which trains a model to generate entire code files in arbitrary orderings via masking. Here's an example where a single region is masked: Zero-shot generation for code tasks In inference, we can prompt our model with a document containing MASK tokens where we want it to insert code. This lets us perform a plethora of code tasks without any task-specific fine-tuning, including docstring generation, type hint prediction, variable renaming, cloze tasks, and more. Here are real outputs from our model: See more examples here: Examples Trained on open-source code and StackOverflow Unlike past work, our model's training data consists of only permissively-licensed code (Apache 2.0, MIT, BSD-2 and BSD-3 licensed) from online sources such as GitHub and GitLab, as well as StackOverflow. We focus on Python and JavaScript, but include 28 languages in total -- a total of ~200GB of data (after deduplication, filtering, and decontamination). See our paper for details.

Sorry - Brazil Brazilian man gets 2kg dumbbell stuck up his bottom, with medics unable to remove it surgically. ( Google News ) This news story graphically ( X-rays! ) shows some of the dangers of becoming viewed as a batshit-crazed individual. Shocking.

Delaware’s Supreme Court Shifts Fees to Losers
by Gunnar Larson 15 Apr '22

15 Apr '22

Check out my new aricle: https://litigationfinancejournal.com/delawares-supreme-court-shifts-fees-to… *Delaware’s Supreme Court Shifts Fees to Losers * The state of Delaware is home to some of the world’s largest corporate entities. New designs to litigation funding agreements are beginning to include provisions for the losing parties’ financial responsibility in covering some (if not all) of the case costs). Delaware’s Supreme Court has stopped short of billing losing parties for state costs associated with facilitating trial. All this, part of a new Supreme Court decision out of Delaware, in Shareholder Representative Services LLC (“SRS”) v. Shire US Holdings, Inc. (“Shire”). Lake Whillans profiles the $20M case award, where a third of the award went to attorney case costs. The concept is broadly called “fee shifting” … Where in this instance the award could potentially total $20M+ to cover attorney representation. Delaware is world renowned for innovating business structures, now helping pioneer litigation finance investment theory. Check out Lake Whillans’ profile of the case here.

Because of computer crimes, Ms. Peter now goes by Manning. I hear they have no bars, but liquid soap at the Meta Reap Center for Mannings, at Marlaga VR park for criminals. Just set sail on a Titanic Bermuda triangle tour.
