The way banks work is this:

There is the department that issues loans. Their job is to identify credit worthy borrowers and issue loans to them.

Then there is the department that handles compliance. Their job is to make sure the bank complies with the various regulations imposed by the government, such as Basel III and capital requirements and the like.

They are separate operations though. The people issuing loans don't call up the people complying with regulations and check whether or not there are enough reserves there to issue loans today, they just issue as many loans as they possibly can because that's how they make money.

Banks borrow from each other to satisfy their liqudity and other requirements, and the central bank is generally a lender of last resort, so banks can always satisfy their short term flow of funds requirements by borrowing money. The reason banks want to attract depositors is that it's CHEAPER than borrowing the money, and without any deposits they may not actually be profitable.

So the more deposits a bank can attract, the more profitable their lending operations are, but their lending operations are not constrained by their reserves per se.
This part is definitely wrong:

> I may compile a C code to Bitcode and have LLVM generate a running binary for x86 CPUs in the end. If I save the Bitcode, however, I can later on tell LLVM to also create a running binary for an ARM CPU from that Bitcode, without having to compile anything and without access to the original C code. And the generated ARM code will be as good as if I had compiled to ARM from the very start.

There is some other stuff in the answer that is interesting (eg. that Apple apparently never actually used Bitcode for iOS, despite what they implied)

My guess is that they planned to use Bitcode to do minor optimisations for new generations of their chips, but it turned out to not work in practice, and so they scrapped it.
I’ve seen a few companies come and go in the last few years who tried to automate it and failed. It seems people are really paying for the sense of curation and review, since what makes something a “good deal” can’t always be measured by a computer. Or maybe people just like their flight alerts wrapped in a friendly and helpful tone, and the tech gurus who can program it aren’t adept enough at copywriting. I’m just thinking out loud. I’m curious to hear others thoughts on programmatic vs human selected
You just have no idea what you're talking about.

> Money must be backed by something.

One of my favorite bond films is Goldfinger (1965), starring Sean Connery as James Bond and Gert Frobe as Auric Goldfinger. In the movie, Goldfinger hatches a plan (they always hatch a plan) to destroy the gold reserves at Fort Knox. This will make his own gold holdings much more valuable, but, Bond intones, it will also destroy the world's economy, since the gold in Fort Knox "backs" our money, and if it were to disappear, we'd have hyperinflation.

And I wondered about that a bit. Suppose a meteor filled with gold were to crash onto Federal Property, and they hook up some tractors and drag the thing into Fort Knox. Would this massive new pile of gold cause hyper-deflation?

Bottom line, I don't think money needs to be backed by anything. It just needs to be limited in its quantity. For example, if gold is money, then what is gold backed by? Anyway, Goldfinger is worth a watch -- great film.
> Not for cache line per se, but no runtime reflection means that any type information is static and won’t cause this kind of problem (+ no GC which is nice and makes leaks less likely).

Possibly. Equally, maybe that runtime type information is what enables monomorphism that wouldn't be possible in C (Yes, C doesn't explicitly have virtual functions, but you end up needing to do the same thing, so you pass function pointers around and it's the same thing at runtime), and the result is better performance.

> That’s a pretty significant RAM and performance saving and gets you within shouting distance of hand tuned assembly, especially since hot paths ARE frequently hand-tuned assembly.

In my experience higher-level languages significantly outperform lower-level languages for realistic-sized business problems, because programmer effort is almost always the limiting factor. Most of the people using C/zig/rust because "muh fast" don't even know how to use a profiler, yet alone the level of multiple-tool analysis that we see in the article. And again, this is the kind of thing you'd need to be doing in C to address performance issues in the same kind of code. Sure, maybe you don't have reflective type information so it shows up as a mispredicted branch rather than a cache issue - but guess what, you also need this kind of low-level tool to get that information, C won't tell you anything about branch prediction either.

-Make the verification process fast.

-Keep profiles up to date for recruiters.

>Sure, but a lot of people use other people's DNS services

There are many of DNS services which offer an API for querying and updating records.

It is very easy to write a service / script that just fines the X least loaded servers and then call an API to set those as the available records.
In practice you will also want to implement some monitoring that it is actually working.

Shelf – Keep Your Files Organized
I am an Open Source developer. My code is not on GitHub and never will be.

If my code was uploaded on GitHub, I would DMCA it because of Copilot, but it wouldn't matter because the information is already in the model. So the DMCA does not help here.

The only way it would help is if I could DMCA the entire model and force them to retrain without my code. As it stands, this lawsuit is the only way for GitHub to be reined in; I don't have the resources to do so on my own.

IANAL.

Also, about high impact, suppose Copilot has 1 million users that use it on average 10 times a day, 5 days a week. You claim that less than 1% of uses of Copilot would result in copyright violation. Let's assume 0.1%. How many times would copyright violation happen per day? It would happen 10,000 times per day. For five days a week.

It would take a mere twenty weeks (less than six months) to reach a million violations.

That seems impactful.

I wrote a post critical of the actions of YCombinator and its affiliates, it received thousands of unique visitors and rose quickly on HN, and then was flagged and removed and comments blocked.

I don't think anyone should be able to flag anonymously. Judges don't get to hide behind anon accounts when they hand out sentences. Not in America anyway. It's cowardly and dishonorable.

I don't mind when dumb stuff I submit gets flagged. But when something strikes a chord and rises to the top and then is flagged, we have a "make something people want, that the censors approve of", type of situation.
It doesn't mean this is much better. This article doesn't contain any specific justification. And it sounds like they actually just concentrate on tiktok ownership rather than on behaviour and on genetic framework for limiting influence.

I'm not dang, but let's see if we can not turn this thread into yet another referendum on systemd.
Seems like a neat service and spin on bookmarking. Checking it out.
JVM will typically give you ok layouts presumably because almost everything is an object, and when accounting for various headers and instrumentation two distinct objects are more likely to be >= 64 bytes apart even when allocated in succession.

What I find a little odd is why those variables were only on different cache lines 1/8th (12.5%) of the time. What linker behavior or feature would result in randomly shifting those objects while preserving their adjacency? ASLR is the first thing that comes to mind, randomizing the base address of their shared region. But heap allocators on 64-bit architectures usually use 16-byte alignment rather than the random 8-byte alignment that would account for this behavior. Similarly, mmap normally would be page-aligned, even when randomized; or certainly at least 16-byte aligned?
We're just running ahead of schedule on this:

"Programming went back to the beginning of time. It was a little like the midden out back of his father’s castle. Where the creek had worn that away, ten meters down, there were the crumpled hulks of machines — flying machines, the peasants said — from the great days of Canberra’s original colonial era. But the castle midden was clean and fresh compared to what lay within the Reprise’s local net. There were programs here that had been written five thousand years ago, before Humankind ever left Earth. The wonder of it — the horror of it, Sura said — was that unlike the useless wrecks of Canberra’s past, these programs still worked! And via a million million circuitous threads of inheritance, many of the oldest programs still ran in the bowels of the Qeng Ho system. Take the Traders’ method of timekeeping. The frame corrections were incredibly complex — and down at the very bottom of it was a little program that ran a counter. Second by second, the Qeng Ho counted from the instant that a human had first set foot on Old Earth’s moon. But if you looked at it still more closely … the starting instant was actually about fifteen million seconds later, the 0-second of one of Humankind’s first computer operating systems. So behind all the top-level interfaces was layer under layer of support. Some of that software had been designed for wildly different situations. Every so often, the inconsistencies caused fatal accidents. Despite the romance of spaceflight, the most common accidents were simply caused by ancient, misused programs finally getting their revenge."

Ask HN: How do you focus on work for long periods of time?
I've used Adderall (not ADHD diagnosed) a couple of times, and it helps a significant amount. However, I know it can't be the real solution - my problem is concretely that anytime I work on something, I can't work on it for long amounts of time - every 15 minutes, I will either visit HN, Reddit, some game, or have to get up and physically leave the desk. I can't bring myself to work on things for extended periods of time. How do you guys do it?

I am not sure I am parsing your argument correctly, but it sort of sounds like you are claiming this debt came from the previous owners, who are somehow getting away with this scott free? As far as I know, Twitter's current debt issues are actually entirely due to Musk: he didn't buy the site with $44b of his own cash but borrowed a ton of money from banks that I guess were stupid enough to think he's rapidly turn it into a profit center, and so now the site has been suddenly hit with $13b in debt.

Gold isn't money. It was when the US government (and other before) forced people to sell other wealth for it to pay taxes. It was an early implementation of money.

Gold has very weak utility today.

>I don't think money needs to be backed by anything.

Which was empirically tested for the last 13 years. What happens is that people get bored of old ponzi schemes and stop buying them, instead preferring to be early in new ones. Which is why inflation-adjusted btc is at the very early Dec 2017 price. Nobody borrows in bitcoin (denominated in it - borrow x btc, pay back x+y btc) for unrelated investments which is one of the main use cases for money.

>It just needs to be limited in its quantity

Artificial scarcity is infinite. Claiming first artificial scarcity is token is somehow special is just a marketing spiel - one that's visibly losing its effectiveness. Which is why bitcoin dominance is dropping so fast.
> because inflation plays a significant role here

A new, average midsize new car in 1985 was approximately $11,000. (~$30,500 after inflation).

A new, average midsize sedan is now approximately $31,886.

In 1927 Model A Ford in the Town Car configuration was $1400-- this is like $24,000 now, but of course, it's a lot less car than a modern midsize.

IMO, car pricing hasn't changed much.

But for those that wanted an artificial singer, as far as I know there weren't really any more realistic sounding alternatives. It's nice now that instead of spending so much effort tuning vocaloids to sound realistic there is an alternative.

> Really feel bad for anyone who went out and bought a house in another place or made life decisions based on this policy which is likely a lot of people.

I don't. The usual recommendation for buying a house is if you're going to stay there for 5+ years. Job hopping in the valley every 3 years is pretty common. Committing to the remote work lifestyle with an expensive home when it's not clear how long WFH will be an option is a risky move.
Somewhat related, the bull run of the last decade has made it possible to run a fund and only have a 10% hit rate (absolute winners), compared to a 52% hit rate for hedge funds in the public markets. The net effect in VC must have been a sense of a "can't lose" attitude. Added to the fact that there is a herd mentality when a firm that is hot is raising money, the due diligence boils down to "other big VCs are investing and we don't want to miss out". In other words Group Think, but it doesn't matter provided the public markets are sending newly minted IPO stocks to the moon. Perhaps more turbulent public markets will enforce more stringent due diligence...

What I like about the song OP linked lies mostly in the legacy of how Vocaloid has been used in the past, e.g. "Disappearance of Hatsune Miku" [0] - there are certain textural elements that come with using Vocaloid that show up repeatedly, and a big one among them is "rapid chatter" effects. There are other ways of getting a similar result that don't sound the same, just like a session performance is probably going to sound different from a sampled instrument.

If you examine this stuff on the basis of harmonic structure, rhythm or arrangement you're basically going down the path of discounting most of electronic music, which is discretized into microgenres just on the basis of using a faster tempo, a different snare hit sound or an unusual mixing strategy. You have to really lean into timbre and texture to find what to appreciate.
