The Company expects minimal financial impact from the exit of this vertical. MCB currently has four active institutional crypto-asset related clients that in the aggregate currently account for approximately 1.5% of total revenues and 6% of total deposits. MCB’s relationships with these clients are limited to providing debit card, payment and account services.

The Company has no loans outstanding to any of these clients, does not hold crypto-assets on its balance sheet and does not market or sell crypto-assets to its customers.

Mark R. DeFazio, President and CEO of MCB. “Crypto-related clients, assets and deposits have never represented a material portion of the Company’s business and have never exposed the Company to material financial risks.

Seems like this experiment never brought anything but account maintenance fees and they simply revised regulatory risks after FTX noise. A “deep liquidity” which was left unused for years.

But “Banks Are Fleeing” makes a better headline indeed.
> FixScript allows any syntax changes and it's done as a preprocessing step.

This kind of separation bothers me a lot in Markdown for static site generation. You typically use Jinja-like templating on top of regular Markdown, and there's a preprocessing step for the templating. This is sometimes limiting in my opinion, as there is a fixed order of operations (preprocessing, then Markdown parsing/rendering). And the two styles of markup are very different. reStructuredText / Sphinxdoc is nicer in that regard because there is a consistent syntax that is arbitrarily extensible.

Can you show some examples of FixScript's extensibility, ideally showing that it's better than a C preprocessor?
I had 10Gbps (real-world numbers were about 6Gbps down and 2Gbps up) internet, on so-called unsaturated "dark fibre" for several years in Tokyo and while it was incredibly fast for downloading games from steam, streaming movies and synching to/from cloud services, it really wasn't noticeably faster than 100Mbps services for general web browsing. There was also no noticeable difference for general web browsing when I connected to my 10Gbps modem with 10Gbps wired, 1Gbps wired or wifi.

The bottleneck is definitely on having a million connections open to serve a typical commercial app-site including ads, and the latency of each, than just datarate.

So although it's for a bad reason, I don't expect that higher average datarates will automatically lead to more bloat, at least not right away. Hopefully it highlights where internet browsing bloat actually comes from (although I doubt it).

>if I were a bank, bitcoin presents a compelling argument. The supply is finite.

Do you think that the most important thing about the value of something is the finite supply of it?

Fiat currency is theoretically infinite since we abolished the gold standard, but seems to be compelling.

Why would bitcoin be more compelling than gold (a finite store of wealth) or fiat currency (a fluctuating/volatile/infinite store of wealth)

That's not the case. At any distance you can't see the road in front of the car in front of you (assuming equal height cars).

The original Xbox was a pentium 3 with 64mb of ram, running a modded Windows 2000, and a slightly custom Nvidia chip. It was literally just a P3 in a custom case, which was why it was huge. Also why the modding scene was huge, and still not paralleled. The 360 was PowerPC, but the One's have been AMD 64 w/ AMD GPUs. So, it's probably more that the Xbox OG was easy to hack, as the PS4/PS5/Xbox Ones l+ are all AMD/AMD pcs.
Cryptonomics?
You can own both gold and Bitcoin. At a minimum unless you think those who think bitcoin is ultimately worthless are right, it’s a way to diversify a gold-like asset class along the axis they are similar.

But these are not truly free right, because they also force you into a contract extension. I think the trick is, with a family plan, you get a new phone once a year or whatever, so if you take them up on that offer, they are constantly extending your service contract. And of course, you are paying for the "free" phone with higher monthly costs. My PureTalk USA phone plan (AT&T reseller) is $22/mo including all taxes and fees for unlimited talk/text and 2GB fast data, throttled after that.

I just checked, and Verizon for 1 line, unlimited, is $65/mo + taxes & fees, so probably $70/mo. That extra $50/mo is $600/year. I bought my refurb iPhone XR on eBay a couple of years ago for $500, indistinguishable from new, and will keep it until it dies.
i would've been that student, and now i teach creative writing to kids in my free time. we use pen and paper to write poems.

but if i were an english teacher assigning research-like papers, i'd definitely incorporate chatgpt responses into my assignments. make them write a draft with chatgpt3 then revise it themselves in class with pen and paper. then write a version in their own words without plagiarizing the chatgpt version, but they can only use google docs or some format that can track changes, so the teacher can see the process. or something like that — it would need some iterating and real-world feedback.
This probably wouldn't work, because the VMS apps we are running use a bunch of the really odd modes, double size, line drawing, inside-out (kidding), but it has to be perfect.

The "invisible island" xterm guy really brags on the quality of his emulation, but it's just not a windows app.
> The same infra that lets you download, lets you upload.

Not really. The DOCSIS protocol that runs the cable internet and GPON TDMA which runs fiber both dedicate more channels / bandwidth to download than upload.

We could come up with new communication protocols that are symmetrical, but this would lower download speed in order to increase upload speed. It's a physical limitation of the universe we inhabit. That tradeoff is not worth it for most people.

Interesting, it's laggy even on my M1 macbook + Firefox.
"Most" is fine. I'm not talking about "most" as the issue.

And I'm not talking about copper either. Legacy coax is the main problem. Because it has components on the wire enforcing upload/download splits that weren't designed for modern internet service. If it was installed today (and both upload and download were openly advertised, if necessary), then it wouldn't have such an asymmetric layout. It's not customer demand limiting upload to 10-20mbps. In theory this will get fixed over time, but I want more pressure on implementing the fixes.
For what it's worth, the closest thing that I've found to my "sushi pile" is the "Toastoba" appetizer at the Sushi House in Ventura, on Seaward Ave. [0]. The toastoba is "deep fried oba leaf, spicy tuna, scallops, masago eggs, spicy mayo, w/avacado and eel sauce" -- essentially my sushi pile, except on fried oba leaf instead of flat seaweed singles.

In practice it's much harder to avoid. Especially with the new players driving all the recent growth.

The brand is so dominant that in any group most of the players will play D&D or they will not play. If you don't have the brand on your 3rd party product then the average number of units you will sell is around zero.

It's not really Windows, D&D is Windows+Apple+Linux and everything else is one of the BSDs.
Most of England has last mile connectivity from BT, the historical monopoly telco. BT is required by the regulator to sell access over their "last mile" of copper, fibre, or whatever, at a fixed tariff, plus to sell routing over their long distance networks for a fair price, so that ISPs, even relatively small ones, can serve anybody with those last mile lines, from anywhere in the country. So maybe you pay Jim's Tiny ISP £29 pcm, Jim's pays BT say £8.26 pcm to reach your home, and they've got £20.74 to buy upstream bandwidth, pay staff, taxes etc. The box in your house either belongs to you or was sent out by Jim's, the fibre or copper between your house and some big building belongs to BT, fibre between the building and Jim's Tiny ISP is either owned by BT or a rival huge corporation.

Anyway for a good many years now, BT offered to basically do fibre rather than copper for the same install price on new homes so long as the builders actually had their people come in early and put the trenches where they need to be etc. on a multi-home site during construction. If you wait until the house is finished, BT wants $$$ to dig everything up and lay fibre.

This meant if the house builders understand why owners would want Internet, or if they at least understand market forces, they would pull their finger out and arrange this, because it's basically free money. Some fraction of buyers will actually remember to ask if the new house has decent broadband, and at some point vague non-committal answers either become specific (and actionable if you were lying) or the buyer walks away.

But if the house market is booming, and you don't get into the habit of having BT do their work early in development, you're going to keep building houses which don't have fibre, they'll sell anyway. This government rule tells builders nope, either show why that it'd be crazy expensive to run fibre up a mountain or whatever - or else pay up and get it done, whereupon of course that's pressure on builders to do it properly.

I expect the net price will be almost zero, because of scale.

Funny. Back in the day, early 80s, all of the terminals and displays I encountered were black and white. Early monitor for an IMSAI, the Pet, the TRS-80. ADM-3A, VT-100, Telerays.

Apple monitors started coming out in green. First non-B&W actual terminal I saw was a VT-220.

Wasn’t really until late 80s, early 90s the green and amber really started showing up everywhere. HP terminals liked amber.

There was a company that was trying to sell amber monitor for Macintoshes. This was around the same time folks were selling head mounted mice. I didn’t feel either was a particularly good idea.

> A wrongful conviction with a long (life+$X years) sentence allows for wrongful convictions to not only be reversed, but then the wrongfully convicted can be released, hopefully with some restitution.

If you've locked someone up for half their lifespan, even in much better conditions than US prisons, even millions wouldn't make up for that, and I doubt we give them millions. Execution takes away someone's whole life, but that's not such a huge step change compared to taking away a substantial portion of their years. We should take false imprisonment just as seriously.
The Hugging Face GPT-2 detector (https://openai-openai-detector.hf.space/) still does a good job identifying generic chatGPT output.

But you can fool it by first asking chatGPT if it can write in the style of some known author, letting it output an example, then asking it to write about a given topic in the same style.

Here's generic output to "write a one paragraph description of Genghis Khan". The Hugging Face output detector says it's 99.98% likely to be fake (from GPT):

> Genghis Khan was a Mongolian warrior and ruler who founded the Mongol Empire, one of the largest empires in history. He is credited with uniting the nomadic Mongol tribes and establishing a powerful and efficient military force that conquered much of Asia and Europe in the 13th century. Genghis Khan is known for his strict code of law and his innovative use of cavalry and military strategy. He is also remembered for his brutal treatment of conquered peoples, as he and his armies were responsible for the deaths of millions of people during their conquests.

But this response, in the style of Charles Bukowski, gets a 98.66% real (not GPT) rating by the checker:

> Genghis Khan was a man of fire and fury, a conqueror who swept across the land like a storm. His armies were vast and unstoppable, crushing all who opposed him beneath their hooves. He was a man of vision and determination, who united the scattered tribes of the steppes and forged them into a mighty nation. But he was also a man of blood and death, who left a trail of destruction in his wake. Villages were burned and pillaged, their inhabitants slaughtered or taken as slaves. The world trembled at the mention of his name, and even the greatest kings and emperors bowed before him in fear. Such was the power of Genghis Khan, the greatest warrior the world had ever known.
I somewhat disagree with the other comments. I believe practising, even in your free, time is a dramatically important if your goal is to be one of the best. Look at the titans of our industry. Do you think John Carmack or George Hotz “thinker” less than 40 hours a week? Constant practise and love of your craft is easily the most important factor in becoming great at anything.

With that being said, maybe your son is not interested in becoming the next Bill Gates. It is ok to not be the best. Average developers make a fair living. And even if he has high hopes but no chance of succeeding - maybe let him learn that lesson on his own? Learning to make decisions about one’s own future is much more valuable than anything they teach in college. Let him give up or succeed on his own.
But that’s the reverse relationship? One guy asking several people for money. Additionally, I think most people who borrow or lend money do not make a habit of discussing it.
While companies backing out sucks, this is a downward spiral.

If companies get wind of candidates doing this in mass, they can escalate the game even further.

That is, make offers to candidates and continue to shop for better candidates, knowing they can just pull the rug from the first set.

This game will be lose-lose.
What strikes me is that even OpenAI has been working on a way to "watermark" GPT-generated text with an "unnoticeable secret signal" to identify its source.
I don't understand why you say that. Like, it's gonna cost them in adoption to diverge, they don't need a lecture to understand that, they are doing what meets their needs and sharing it.
I personally find Bitcoin much easier to send to family than a chunk of gold, and Bitcoin’s block reward results in a far more favorable inflation rate than many currencies. There’s more to money than these two aspects, but they are IMO solid positives for Bitcoin.
I guess my point is the safe driving distance is based on something that can’t stop in 0 feet. If something falls off a truck I’m behind I’m not going to come to a complete stop.
There were a couple actions Trump did during his presidency that directly hurt Putin, namely the sanctions on Nord Stream 2 that caused Allseas to drop out of the project and delaying the completion of the pipeline for some time. The EU was quite upset by this.

He also criticised Europeans for not meeting NATO defence obligations, although whether he would have been fine with them just increasing their expenditures or if this was just a rhetorical point to find support for leaving NATO is perhaps only known to him.
It was a club. You had to pay for the radio to join, and you had to be skillful enough to operate it. In other words my kinda buddy.

My own anecdotal experience. The talk. We essentially registered some popular domain bitflips, set up some honeypot style collectors and listened. Saw way more traffic than we expected and decided it was worth offering to customers ad a proof of concept, some stuck with it for some time. Now there is a cottage industry around “domain protection” and really all you have to do register your bitflip and typo domains if you are a big company or service provider where this matters. But it was fin demonstrating the why to them :)

Sometimes.

I live in a small, sleepy, insignificant town in the Netherlands. Usually in these kind of places, there's an attempt to arrive at a democratic decision regarding the installation of fibre to the home in a collective way.

This almost always fails. The people already have broadband by means of cable internet which is pretty fast over here. There isn't really any normie application that requires fibre, which leaves only one immediate benefit: competition. The cable internet providers are region locked and monopolistic. They'll even spam your mail box with propaganda suggesting you don't need fibre.

Anyway, our municipality took a rare stance: you may not think you need it, but we're going to do it anyway. But...what about that odd farmer living 1 mile from everybody else? Makes no economic sense? Yes, him too. Everyone. By principle.

But you'll need to open the streets? Yes, and we will. And here's the schedule by the day about which street opens when. The schedule was met. In the course of 2 months, an entire ring of small towns got fibre to the home. This includes opening up people's drive way and other custom arrangements.

So now in the middle of nowhere we have fibre, and we can pick from 3 providers on this single cable. A rare case of long term government smarts, and competent execution.

Then again, this example is far from universal.

Yeah, I remember reading a long-form story about the 'Death Valley Germans' from this site, and it was so sad - a family with young kids, that just hadn't comprehended how far they could be from help when they got into trouble in the USA. That heading towards the local military base might not help when everything is so huge that all you'll see is miles of fence.
I've heard this referred to as the "safety bell curve" - when you're new to a sport or dangerous activity, you don't know what you're doing and are at elevated risk. The same is true for people who have been doing that same activity for 10+ years: they stop actively thinking about their safety, and fall victim to human fallibility.

I don't know if there's one perfect solution for this phenomenon. Checklists and social reinforcement are the best I've found within the climbing community.
Stopping distance at 65mph -> 525 feet

The number of fiat banks to crypto banks is in the realm of 10,000 to 1.

So yes a crypto bank could maybe cause a single fiat bank to fail but it would be isolated. And likely a very small bank.

The entire crypto industry could collapse tomorrow and there would be likely no systemic risk to the global financial system.
