I've made this type of argument and have used it quite a bit (though I wouldn't say "just"). Autocomplete is a very useful tool. ChatGPT even more so. It is actually fantastic. The point I was making when explaining it this way was that, in its current state, this technology isn't going to do anything amazing on its own, but will help more people do more amazing things. It still needs to be carefully directed. For people outside the technology world, this distinction is important. I don't think it will hold up forever though.
For real? I started doing the 1 mile/2.2 km walk home from school at the age of 8. This wasn't in the idyllic 1950's America either - we're talking the mid 90's with plenty of headlines stating "it could happen to YOUR CHILDREN".

How do the logistics work here? Does each teacher stay with their class until all students have been picked up?
The vast majority of media did, and citizens as well. Here in Germany all mainstream media suggested Russia as the likely culprit. Which then of course made it into the canon as "Russia did it", when it was always one of the lowest-probability scenarios to begin with. Russia had no motive outside of a false-flag with extremely low probability of successfully blaming the US or Ukraine. Meanwhile, the US actually had a motive, and said they would do it. Ukraine had a motive, the ability and now some ICs are pointing the finger at them.

Still our media here suggests a Russian false flag as equally likely, and people are actually eating it up.
CNBC (live TV) is reporting efforts to raise capital have failed and deposits are fleeing faster than talks about a sale are proceeding. Lots of reports that its online banking systems are "down" or suspended.

IMO there's a very good chance the bank enters FDIC receivership by Monday, and there may not be room to maneuver much anymore.

Edit 10:05 am eastern: David Faber live on CNBC says he's hearing deposits are flowing out too quickly for a sale to be negotiated. Quote: "That may "set up something else" over the weekend"
40% seems way low. I know a lot of software engineers and only one of them wants to work in an office.
This logic can only make sense based on the axiom that almost nobody can be coerced into compliance. Sure, if fixed cameras are somehow impossible and the best hope for enforcement is "no more than 10 over no matter how bad the conditions" this may be the case. But in some countries other than the US these are solved problems.
Are they gullible or pragmatic? I appreciate the concern here but at the end of the day these laws hardly affect the average Joe so why should he care? There is some wisdom in not worring about future hypotheticals until they actually happen.
despite what everyone thinks that doing things locally is cheaper, if you're running a business and allocating money towards headcount and benefits plus additional risk of maintaining team it rarely makes sense.

Hi, thanks for the pointer, the Arabic rendering should be fixed now on the demo.
In this case, their interest is aligned with the public interest, so nothing wrong.
It was a major red flag! You're right about their liabilities, but their assets are mostly longish duration bonds. When interest rates go up their main customer base (startups) will have a harder time raising money (bad for them) and the value of their bonds will go down (because new bonds offer more interest). And now they're forced to sell these bonds at a loss to cover the money outflow (customers leaving). They're deep in the hole with no way out.

Basically SVB failed basic risk management, and they deserve to go down. You can't promise your customers they can take their money out at any time and then turn around and invest that money in longer duration assets you can't liquidate. Just irresponsible.

Execs selling millions worth of shares in the past weeks is also classy.
Entirely predictable. Cloud is good for some use cases. Self hosting is good for some other use cases. Neither is objectively “better”. Both should be seen and used in the context of a task in hand.
But alas it is human nature to pick up a hammer, call it the best thing in the world, and start whacking it at every problem. See: cloud, blockchain, k8s, and now chatgpt/ai.
A one-sided sense of loyalty.
Yeah I spent a week or two getting excited playing with ChatGPT but then I got bored. I also bought a Quest 2 a while ago and sold it after a few months, so I guess the novelty just wears off quickly for me.

I believe you know what you're talking about, but if that's the case why are they struggling to raise capital to pay depositors?

Spot on, a ton of Directors / MDs are rushing to push this in front of their leadership (whoever 'leads' the acquisition will no doubt burnish their personal brand / career path /s).

That said, if I'm an SVB customer...do I want to stick with the bank that's had this issue? Even so, would I want to bank with the acquirer?

The implication here is absurd, irrelevant to the topic, and essentially means that the endeavor is massive failure.

> Registering a new key will hopefully also trigger a big scary warning email/SMS/fax to me and/or additional security contacts

If your devices are compromised you are not guaranteed to receive any emails or SMS. There are malwares known to remove emails and messages either directly or by running as man in the middle or by intercepting and modifying the UI.

> As a user, I sure hope there is – it would be genuinely frightening to know that my account is unrecoverable if I lose all security keys linked to it!

As a professional I am reading it the following way:

"The access to the account can be regained without the super duper secure Yubikey fleet you have."

Therefore it is as secure as that super expensive door lock when there is an open window right next to it.

> Hopefully, that process involves a lot of red tape and not just an SMS-OTP or sending a blurry scan of my birth certificate to an e-notary several timezones away

But that just does not happen. This would be super expensive and companies would rather limit their involvement with individual people to save on support cost. All I got from AWS was two phonecalls from a tired guy with obvious Indian accent.
> If you think it would be ok for a school to fire a teacher merely for being gay (as suggested by “it makes perfect sense for organizations to spend money to get rid of these people”), then you don’t support gay rights. In some instances US courts have even ruled against religious schools that have done this:

I suggested no such thing, it's just more manipulation from you. This is what I suggested: I suggested that it's extremely strange for a gay man to be teaching at an all boys school and it's highly reasonable to suspect that his intentions are unethical.

If I could read the mind of such a teacher and I can see his intentions are good, by god I will fight for that teachers right to work there. Barring that I can only make the best logical judgment given the information that I have and that judgement is either the teacher leaves or I put my kid in another school/classroom.

>If you absolutely insist on making this a discussion about pedophilia (even extending your unpleasant insinuations to gay men who are boy scout leaders),

I never insisted on such a thing. I am simply clearing my name on the accusations you continue to pile on to me one after another. You accuse me of using pedophilia as some sort of deliberate inflammatory weapon, all I did was point out that I AM NOT. There is no insistence that we continue the conversation along those lines.

I want a discussion but apparently I can't have one because your attitude is combative and accusatory. It's characteristic of activists of gay people and many many activists nowadays. They use accusatory tactics of boxing people into horrible labels like "racist", "misogynistic". It's largely an effective tactic, but it's so effective that many times it's used as a mechanism to gain power and dominate others.

Activists like you don't want to engage in meaningful discussion, you just want to dominate. To achieve these goals what you do is misconstrue your opponents intention, you throw away all nuance and deliberately try to simplify your opponent and his actions so that he or she will fit into the box you want him in. When you successfully do this then you execute your main weapon of calling him "racist", "sexist" or any other horrible term that carries a history too horrible to justify using such words with such frivolity.

So what I'm doing is I have to continuously CLARIFY what I am saying. I have to reemphasize the nuance behind what I am saying so that I protect myself from being nailed onto that label. You literally attempted to do this to me earlier.

>Even if a significant number of mainstream Catholics think that being gay is equivalent to being a pedophile (which I doubt), then that is still no reason for the rest of us to make such an association.

I never said the "rest of us" have to make that association. I am simply saying why it makes sense for Catholics to want to root out their leaders who engage in homosexual behavior. Personally, I don't care if a gay man is elected mayor but it makes sense to me why a catholic doesn't want a priest to be gay. I am also saying it's justified for such priests and leaders within the catholic community to be fired.
It seems that Julia has been used for numerical stuffs often. Its redmonk ranking is above some great languages like nim and erlang. This is already an achievement for a community-backed open-source language. By "much popularity", I meant "as popular as Java or Python". I had a high hope for Julia.
Again, the point is the only thing to say is theres no problem

There’s no deeper point.

Interesting. I have ADHD and find that smoking weed makes my symptoms noticeably worse. Depending on how high I get, I find myself largely unable to focus, or even to complete thoughts without becoming distracted. This seems to persist after I'm no longer high -- even many hours after smoking I still find myself less able to stay on task.

If you're of the hyperactive type I could possibly see some benefits? As an inattentive and non-hyperactive type it's hard for me to imagine weed helping very much.
Holy crap. Sometimes I see headlines like this and then the details aren't all that bad. This one is all that bad.

They gave it all away. They do call it "inadvertent" though.

"The information disclosed may have included name, phone number, email address, date of birth, IP address, Cerebral client ID number, and other demographic or information. The information disclosed may also have included the service the individual selected, assessment responses, and certain associated health information, subscription plan type, appointment dates and other booking information, treatment, and other clinical information, health insurance/pharmacy benefit information (for example, plan name and group/member numbers), and insurance co-pay amount."

Because Cerebral is a telehealth startup and handles confidential patient data, it’s considered a company covered under the U.S. health privacy law known as HIPAA. According to a list of health-related security lapses under investigation by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees and enforces HIPAA, Cerebral’s data lapse is the second-largest breach of health data in 2023.

You can still have it but add more modern syntax for looping. Hell Java has "goto" reserved if I remember correctly.
This is a liberal utopia in US terms. The author is blissfully ignoring the fact that, The Netherlands is a postage stamp size country, smaller then most US states individually. There are only 9 states which are smaller than the whole country of the Netherlands. Even in the big, highly congested cities like NYC, LA, SF, the city sprawl is very big, making bike transportation very unfeasible. Should we uproot our cities and build them to welcome an utopia? I don't think so. I lived in Europe for the first 32 years of my life, all in big cities of several millions of people population. Even there, despite the traffic congestion, biking to work or shopping was not an option. Netherlands, especially the large cities in this country, like Amsterdam, are exceptions or happenstances. Taking them as a blueprint is unrealistic for the most part in the rest of the world.

If your team is split across 3 timezones and 5 cities already, you're going to damage your communications even further by making everyone go into the office again.
The issue is not that SVB has loaned too much to companies that can't pay it back.

The issue is that SVB took in a lot of deposits in 2021-2022, and locked them into 10 year bonds at 2.5% interest. Now in 2023, a lot of their customers are burning money (withdrawing funds) and aren't raising money (depositing funds), and so they need to start liquidating the 10 year bonds.

The issue is that the 2021 bonds are discounted because interest rates have grown since, and they're out some money unless they can hold the bonds to maturity. So they're raising money to bridge the deficit to allow themselves to hold more of the bonds.

Lowering salaries. You're not paying Boomer rates to experience folks, you're paying Zoomer rates to noobs, and automating or offshoring the rest.
But search warrants and subpoenas generally respect a due process. This reveals an elaborate government/corporate partnership to subvert due process. Not to mention free speech. The first amendment applies because you can no longer say "because its a private company".
> The inhabitants of the land defend their way of life

There always are people who defend their existing way of life, regardless of anything. Even slavers defended their way of life. There being people sticking to their nomadic way of life of scarcity and hardship in the desert does not justify having millions of people regularly die on the other end of the desertification caused by that desert.
Whilst banks may have lots of regulations (depending on their country of operation), banks do fail reasonably regularly. For example this list of US bank failures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_U.S._bank_fail...
> is there precedent for that?

Again, it would be better to have a comment from someone who banks for a living, but back in 2008 when the FDIC limit was $100K, ISTR Sheila Bair making a statement to that effect (IndyMac?). One large issue was that companies would regularly be above the limit in order to run their payrolls, and so got caught in a bad position. That started companies with other banks worrying about where they were parking money, contributing to a systemic issue.
"engineers are professionals with strong opinions who will always tell me when/if they need anything to help them get their work done. Right? If they aren't saying anything, it's their own fault, right? They're adults, right?"

There can a cultural block here based on popular conceptions of “leadership” vs “caregiving” which maps against “strong”/“soft” & “male”/“female” in clearly counterproductive ways.

Edit: I am interested in counter arguments here from downvoters. I am a pretty typical typical Midwestern guy with traditionally ‘macho’ interests/hobbies, but I’ve seen the above pattern play out repeatedly.
A central authority that has total control over the conversation is considered by many to be a bad thing. Some think that a more democratic approach is preferable.

Pitchforks: A (de facto) Standard Project Layout for C / C++ projects
A billionaire can't wave their arms in the air and make nannies sprout from the ground like mushrooms. The nannies have to come from somewhere else where they were doing something else.

If families are feeling the pinch, that "something else" is probably work that was important to setting up families and maintaining a standard of living. Forcing billionaires to put money into childcare is just making it more difficult to have children because those resource aren't going to be going towards whatever the more pressing problems are.

Billionaires make all that money by making things happen that people need done. Disrupting that and sending the resources to childcare is not likely to work either. If the problem is that childcare is too expensive, what is important is bringing down the cost, not trying to find someone else to pay the cost. There is no-one else, having children is too common an activity.
Tiles, vector or raster, to be consumed for general use are not really in the scope of the OpenStreetMap project. This is surprising to many because it's the first thing you see on OSM.org; the tiles there are for the explicit purpose of feedback to data editors, and make a best-effort to synchronize the instantaneous state of the database in the tiles, unlike Protomaps which delivers a snapshot.

Paul Norman has a project called Tilekiln to adapt vector rendering for this use case on OSM.org: https://github.com/pnorman/tilekiln

LLM text is token based not pixel based. And LLM output is ~1K tokens, while a picture is ~1M pixels.

And pictures aren't necessarily made of pixels. They are modelled as a collection waves (JPEG), and displayed as pixels. I don't know how LLM/whatever image models represent images, though.

Images are more global: changing the color pallette changes the tone (ha!) like a descriptive word in text.

The first paper was retracted by the journal due to a lack of detail around a key measurement, which doesn't automatically mean misconduct but certainly leaves room for it. And the same journal knew about this when they accepted the new paper, so hopefully they made sure the data was looking better for this one?
