> states that tend to regard international law as optional

I know HN isn't supposed to be about politics, and not wishing to get into specifics and thus provoke an detailed argument, but many of us know of plenty of other "friendly" states that are happy to ignore international law whenever and wherever it suits them.

For those who haven't heard it, the BBC's "One Day In August" is really worthwhile:

An Interview with Ruben Schade, Technical Writer
The FDIC is required by law to use the plan for handling a failed bank that will cost the least to its fund.

Buyouts offers that cover all insured funds are typically cheaper than directly paying out. Indeed, most commonly the buying bank will offer to take all the full balance of any insurable account, not just up to the insurance limit. The logic here seems to be that the extra from taking on those balances is usually pretty small, and it does save work on the FDIC's side as there would be fewer creditors. Thus it makes bids with that include full balances more attractive than those that don't, increasing the chance that the buyer's bid will be selected for final resolution.

Of course, occasionally the winning bid is limited to just insured balances, and very occasionally, the cheapest option is for the FDIC to directly cut checks to handle the insurance side, and proceed as receiver in selling off any saleable assets and paying of creditors.
Great response - even if I can buy a pig with bullets it doesn't help anything else. That assumes you can butcher and store the meat. This seems like a kind of bikeshedding argument - the bike shed is built so don't worry about the actual nuclear reactor, you can always just hide in the bike shed. Doesn't matter how well built the bike shed is - you're still surrounded by nuclear fallout
Civet just added a bun loader https://github.com/DanielXMoore/Civet/blob/main/source/bun-c...

I'm curious to hear your thoughts about Bun/Civet integration to explore improvements to the language frontend as well as the language backend?
IMO start up or not depends on growth, growth in terms of learning the product/industry. Many VC funded companies achieve growth by throwing money on to problem, which works. But if you manage to out learn your competitors while still staying alive, essentially being cockroach, it is still start up.
So what happens when most if not all of the assignments dry up because of GPT?
I saw this happen with my own eyes in 2008 -- the trick was to re-order transactions such that an overdraft is triggered before other small transactions, to rack up overdraft charges.

Secondly, a Wells Fargo in California told a daily customer at the window in a bank "your cash deposit will not be credited until the next day" ..

both of these stories are completely true, at the same time as the Washington Mutual Bank failure.
The keybase pivot was so ugly and sad. Their pre VC product was really nice.

Aleister Crowley was an occultist who dealt in Western esotericism. So either you're into that kind of stuff, or know about it, or it's not really for you. And anyway, with a simple search for "Crowley", the first link was his Wikipedia entry with all this information, so it's not exactly like you had to go digging in the dark corners of some exotic private library to figure it out.
Well, I told you how many "execs" are at MSFT. It's 19 out of >200k employees - so there's 100x less execs than your guess.
Different in that that wasn't a case of losing records.

It was the delicately balanced house of cards that is fractional reserve banking all of a sudden crashing down, and pulled back the veil to temporarily reveal to everyone that money isn't real, and even though we remember who all has what, it only works if the masses don't look behind the curtain.
> Would it be ok for french people to create a french only city/community in France?

Is Canada Ukraine? Because Ukrainians are an ethnic minority in Canada... French people in France is a terrible example and you know it.

That being said, French people literally have their own province in Canada. Where their language and culture is protected by law!

> yes it would be bad if appartments in chinatown explicitly discriminated against non chinese people.

Have I got news for you...
China's made an entire business of expanding their territory by putting airfields on top of half-underwater islands. The Spratlys are horseshoe shaped atolls but have proven it can be done effectively and defensibly. (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/21/china-has-full...) You also get a ~200 mile EEZ for fishing and mineral rights, and a 6-12 mile territorial waters in the area as well. Portugal has been working on staking out an enormous chunk of the north atlantic for the last decade or so using similar strategy.
1Password is also working on it: https://www.future.1password.com/passkeys/

It’s shaping up to be a cool year for password management!
I think you are both sort of correct. The pertinent bit of regulation E[1] appears to hinge on how the fraudulent transfer was done.

It looks like if you as the authorized person transfer money to somebody because you were scammed into doing so, then the regulation does not apply. However, if you were scammed into giving up your, say, debit card number or password, and this was used to to initiate transfers, the regulation does apply. The magic words here are "access device" and "unauthorized".

That being said once you start throwing around laws that the average consumer doesn't know about, on certified letters directed at important people, the bank very well might make you whole rather than fight it even if you have no case.

Overdrafting IS opt-in.

I had a bank charge me an overdraft fee. I asked them to show me my overdraft authorization.

It's amazing how fast a bank can return money when they screw up.
That's a serious problem and seems worth an article no matter what country the people are in or what typical wages are in that country. Funny that "$2/hour" struck Time as more newsworthy than "exposed workers to horrific material without training or counseling."

Heres a good start. Additionally there were emails recovered from Hunters laptop which indicated that payments which were made from chinese businesses to Hunter were intended to be held for Joe Biden himself.

Let me know what you think after reading this. Ive tried to talk to people about this stuff before but people typically refuse to read the report and dismiss it all as political propoganda... which it is, but it also seems to be true from what I can tell.
Magic links via email? Email isn't a secure transport, or storage. I think that's only viable for low risk systems. Even software like Slack, which supports magic links via email, will also support username/password/MFA as an option for folks who need better security.
talking about left wing discourse as a single unified entity is insane, when it's millions or billions of people with different beliefs, formations, etc. Like in everything else, some discourse will be productive and some will be misguided.
It was pretty wild when I logged into one of my other bank accounts and it said I could not use Zelle with that account because I already had Zelle linked to a different bank account. So I had to unlink it from the other account first. Isn't it common for people to have more than one bank account, and wasn't this the case when Zelle was developed, relatively recently? Why did this use case not cross their mind when they developed it?
there was similar confusion regarding pass by reference and pass by value when Java first came out.

I don't need a header to follow me down the page, in fact I'd prefer it not to. On the very rare occasion when I need to scroll all the way to the top of the page, I have no problem figuring out how to do that. Feels like they're introducing a persistent UI element without a benefit. Benefit to me, anyway. Maybe they heard from a lot of users who were having trouble remembering where the header was, I can't say. I don't log in to Wikipedia, so this doesn't affect me much at present.

I'm not sure what value the collapsible table of contents is. Maybe it's useful on mobile, to help save screen space, but on desktop it would just be extra work for me to collapse the sections (which appear to be expanded by default). I have not found the length of the table of contents to be a problem, and I see the value of this structure as being that it allows me to see everything at once.

I get why having a maximum line length is good for readability. My reaction to this feature is negative, but I wonder if it's because I've gotten good at sizing Wikipedia articles the way I like them to be, by upping the font size and shrinking my browser window. Maybe I will come around on it, but my initial reaction was that I don't trust them to make the right decision for me, so I'd rather they just kept it flexible.
The "containerized web app" is not a correct description here. 1Password 8 on macOS, Windows, and Linux is a full-fledged desktop app. It is built in Rust with Electron/React providing the UI. It can work completely offline and does not require a network connection.

1Password 8 has greatly improved security architecture compared to the previous versions. Just one example of many: when rendering the item details, the Rust core would not send the password value to the UI layer until the user clicks "Copy" or "Reveal" password.

In addition to that, 1Password 8 has better integration with the operating system that any other version in the past — Touch ID, Windows Hello, Secure Enclave, macOS Accessibility services, etc, etc.
What's that mean? Is it 150% compatible with Windows apps?
I would hope any modern ai would be able to pass an exam as it’s regurgitation of information (especially with essays). Assuming proper training, it should be able to pass anything that’s within its training set. All the usual standards, such as “was hamlet mad?”, “was Hitler inevitable?”, “did Weimar Germany deliberately hyperinflate?”, etc. Things that have been boring ta’s since ancient times.

It would be way more interesting to see what happened when moving beyond its training set - would it smoothly lose reasonableness or fall off a table. And to see how it’s lack of understanding word meaning trips it up in such extensions.
> In fact, I hear anti white propoganda all the time, part of which is the fact that whites are overrepresented in finance.

> Oh, you do? This whole, "one side said one thing, so me, as a person on the other side, I'm gonna say my version of the thing, and people will have to take it seriously because it's fundamentally the same argument" really misses the point. My grandparents [..]

You used your own persecution to dismiss anti-white propaganda. Instead of using it as a lesson on the danger of propaganda targeting identity groups, you're using it as a cudgel, that because Jews had it worse, whites shouldn't complain when targeted by that same kind of propaganda.

> we were talking about... wait for it... anti-semitism.

No, we were talking about the double standards imposed upon ChatGPT. You want to restrict it to only anti-semitism, because ChatGPT's answers about Jews, in isolation, are defensible. Only when contrasted with the answers given about whites do the hypocrisy and malice become apparent - the same things it and you warned are so dangerous when done to Jews, it gleefully does to whites, and you defend it.
Are you referring here to Apple/Swift/iOS/OSX, and Microsoft/C#/Windows? If so, good point, if you're writing iOS mobile apps, or OSX/Windows desktop apps, you're pretty tied to Apple/Microsoft regardless of the language you choose.

Not so applicable to Go - ppl mostly use it for writing servers running on Linux.
As some other replies have said - the best and most reasonable hedge is to rely on your community and have good bonds there. Doesn't matter how much cash you have if people don't care about that anymore, the best option is to have social bonds and have a community to support you, no person is an island etc

$100 under your mattress for the future is not worth nearly as much as giving that money to a friend to help them cover rent today
Last year, my first month salary in the US came in the form of a check, since I didn't have my bank account ready at the time. So yeah checks are still common.
Probably the same thing that happens when you forget your password. Hit the "forgot your password" link, get a confirmation email, create a new passkey
Models don't learn to reason about things. They learn to rehash things in new context. If you train the model on both racist and anti-racist content, you'll get it repeating both racist and anti-racist ideas.
It's curious to me that this is downvoted, I am practically a crypto evangelist and have been since the beginning but even I acknowledge that the BTC network's capacity is extremely, extremely low. It's not suitable as a world-wide transaction engine, not even for relatively infrequent transaction types like store of value accounts that don't move around. There have been some half-hearted attempts to fix this (lightning network for example) but nothing that actually provides substantial throughput. Bitcoin Cash was an attempt to improve it incrementally but that was pretty solidly rejected by the community (and wouldn't have really solved the problem anyhow)

I think it's fair to say BTC has a capacity problem, and it's not just a technical one - it's also a cultural aversion to change in the base protocol and cultural aversion to extension of the base protocol to allow additional abstraction layers that could solve the problem.
Really annoyed by the borrow checker? Use immutable data structures
... This is especially helpful when you need to write pure code similar to that seen in Haskell, OCaml, or other languages.

Are there any tutorials or books which take an immutable-first approach like this? Building familiarity with a functional subset of the language, before introducing borrowing and mutability, might reduce some of the learning curve.

I suspect Rust does not implement as many FP-oriented optimizations as GHC, so this approach might hit performance dropoffs earlier. But it should still be more than fast enough for learning/toy datasets.
> I guess if u keep a laptop stationary at your desk and plugged in at all times, then it could last 11 years.

I've taken my MBP everywhere, criss-crossing the United States. I've connected it to many different presentation devices where I've been a speaker at conferences. I've connected to many different networks - including hard-wired ethernet. Not exactly stationary and kept on a desk. I can't even remember how many times it's been dropped while in my backpack - from table top heights. I think it has taken quite a bit of abuse.

> Although the very expensive 8gb of ram from back then is basically useless today.

Yes it is - and it has nothing to do with being soldered into the motherboard. It's too slow for today. I'm not going to take that RAM and install it on an M2 machine, for example - too slow. Honestly, on this point you're just whining.

Obviously we're swapping anecdotes, but you'll see there's a lot of people still running the 2012 MBP Retina machines. Those things were tanks! The other machine that also appears to be a tank is the 2015 MBP. Lots of people are still running those machines too. Maybe Apple has "on" years and "off" years? Wouldn't surprise me as many other manufacturers do.
The problem with "don't buy things you can't afford" is that society really says "you don't deserve things you can't afford". Why is it that some brat that never worked a day in their lives can enjoy Avocado toast every day? Is it just because they won the socio economic lottery? Then on the other side a mother of two abandoned by her partner, working two jobs has to make their own toast and plan trips to the park. Sucks to suck I guess.
There has to be a better way than this. This form of raw Capitalism is not fair. Generational wealth gets to criticize from a perspective of having wealth and cast judgement on those who make not have it for reasons outside their control.
> They had to reskill...

This always baffles me. It doesn't surprise me, but it baffles me. Why are so many professional developers having to "reskill" to adapt to a new language? We're not necessarily talking about new domains (that would be different, there's a lot I don't know about server administration and automation, for instance, given my background primarily with embedded and desktop systems). But a language? And a procedural/imperative language? VB, C, C++, Pascal, Delphi, C#, Java, JavaScript, Ada, Python, Rust, Go, Fortran, etc. are all, fundamentally, procedural/imperative languages with varying degrees of OO, functional, and metaprogramming capabilities distinguishing between them. Some are bigger jumps (I'd point to Rust as the biggest in that group) than others, but what "reskilling" does a programmer or developer need when switching between languages in roughly the same language family? It's not like they had to jump to Haskell or Prolog or something that was majorly different.
I don't disagree that Rust's developer productivity story is still far from mature, especially wrt. async and its ecosystem (and the Rust design team agrees that this is a concern) but if you're going to argue for Vala as a "future design", we should similarly assess Rust's long-term potential. The language is improving quite fast and adding major new features (consider GAT and improvements in const evaluation) despite being quite stable and reliable in other respects. Very different from most "corporate"-focused languages.

(Don't get me wrong, I'm quite fine with also focusing on hobbyist, proof-of-concept languages for potential improvements to developer productivity. But then I'll probably want a Pony.)
It was technically possible for someone to write a VB compiler and enough of a runtime to integrate VB code with Visual Fred and the rest of the .Net ecosystem. That this apparently never occurred to anyone says interesting things about that development culture, but the big lesson is to not rely on a single source for a language implementation or tooling in general. Go not only has an open-source primary implementation, it has, like, a few thousand righteously angry hackers in its culture who would take Google abandoning it as a personal affront and would work on a replacement Go implementation in a pure example of spite-driven development.

I think this is the old way of thinking in the VC world. Yes, it still happens, but I think enough VCs have been burned by garbage deals that they are starting to look under the hood more carefully. No VC wants to be funding the next Theranos or WeWork. Bad economy doesn't mean going back to 2008 funding levels. I think a bad economy today means that the companies being created need to have a viable path for growth as well as profitability.
That's why open source is important. You can audit them and verify that they are behaving in a trustworthy manner.
> This will also reduce the fraction of developers trying to micro-optimize already fast selectors.

I always feel like browser devs regularly look at the web naively and think "yeah nobody should waste time optimizing for that", but then you get sites having 800kb of CSS and lots of terrible selectors and you have no tools to analyze them besides generic coverage.

Personally, I've never felt overwhelmed by choice when it comes to options regarding optimization. It's fine if it's hidden behind a flag, but "nobody could ever need this" feels weird.
That's not a fair comparison. The differences in LP and 1P encryption approaches have been well known for years, and they are fundamentally different.

Now, while 1P encrypted vaults are not brute-forceable the way LP's are, that doesn't mean it's impossible to hack 1P (e.g. malicious code injection in any of their apps or plugins), but I don't like the "everything turns out to be a false promise" broad-brushing when there are real and verifiable differences in how these companies secure your data.
I find this article odd with its fixation on computing speed and 8bit.

For most current models, you need 40+ GB of RAM to train them. Gradient accumulation doesn't work with batch norms so you really need that memory.

That means either dual 3090/4090 or one of the extra expensive A100/H100 options. Their table suggests the 3080 would be a good deal, but it's not. It doesn't have enough RAM for most problems.

If you can do 8bit inference, don't use a GPU. CPU will be much cheaper and potentially also lower latency.

Also: Almost everyone using GPUs for work will join NVIDIA's Inception program and get rebates... So why look at retail prices?
I’ve used Protobuf in Swift and it was pretty straightforward. Apple already provides a tool chain [1] so using a third party is a hard sell. I might not be fully understanding the product offering with Buf.

Well, passkeys come with another very interesting property: they make it entirely useless to obtain the database of user credentials from services. It only contains public keys specific to a single service, so you cannot use them anywhere else. Additionally, private keys are stored on secure storage in client devices (or need to be decrypted themselves using a second factor), so there’s pretty much 0% risk of mass credential leakage.
I’ll be the 10th man and add to the nihilism. Consumer protections are there not for the consumer, but to create some sort of artificial social stability through recourse and take the wind out of any social uprising.
