Sure, please note that was referring to “modern development standards” in the Node.js ecosystem.

Node.js, with the flexibility of the JavaScript language, allowed the rise of great abstraction and other domain-oriented API designs, a bit like Ruby on Rails did with Ruby.

The arrival of React.js Server Components pattern enabled the isomorphic pattern (first applied to mobile and front-end apps) to reach the server side of things with patterns such as Server side rendering, popularized by frameworks like Next.js or Remix.

Those new patterns and abstractions allow Node.js developers to move faster while building more complex applications to match users’ requirements: real-time, performant apps, richly integrated with third-party products.

Beyond code, those new coding habits came with new products such as Vercel or Supabase that help them to get the infrastructure done in no time, without any DevOps knowledge (good article on this topic: https://vercel.com/blog/framework-defined-infrastructure).

“modern development standards”, applied to Node.js, do not only apply to coding experience and productivity (ex: the rise of monorepos, TypeScript, SSR) but also to enabling developers to configure their infrastructure from the code.

To be fair, it sounds like some shockingly negligent management on SVB's part. Obviously thats orders of magnitude off from the complete lack of management w/ SBF.
I think there is a limit. The bank costs money to run, customers expect interest (even if little).

That money isn’t doing anything to cover those expenses if some of it isn’t “working” to produce returns.
> It won’t be the balance of their account but they’ll also get a piece of paper laying out how much more they’re potentially owed.

Yes, they’ll get an “advance dividend” based on whatever surplus cash is available beyond what is necessary to cover the insured balances, plus a “receivership certificate” accounting for the rest, and, to quote the FDIC press release [0], “As the FDIC sells the assets of Silicon Valley Bank, future dividend payments may be made to uninsured depositors.” [emphasis added].

> The thing that broke down is they had to announce true things that made investors conclude that their money wouldn't grow as fast as investors expected, and investors (understandably / justifiably) wanted to pull it out to somewhere it would grow faster.

SVB disclosed they took massive losses from high risk, high duration assets and were desperate for cash. Investors took large (up to 60% over 24h!) losses, paper or otherwise, to get out of the stock. That can't be just concern over not growing as fast, that's concern about solvency. VC's and depositors saw the same writing on the wall, but it was SVB who wrote it there.

If they were able to cover their normal operations, they wouldn't have needed the emergency equity raise.

It would certainly explain how "political correctness" a soviet concept made it into the american public consciousness far more than other nations of the world.

Edited: Since I'm being downvoted.
Political Correctness wasn't really a thing until around the 80's, the same time period as the cold war. It really is acommunist term. The term "political correctness" first appeared in Marxist–Leninist vocabulary following the Russian Revolution of 1917.

Yuri is saying the KGB was enacting total war decades ago, and that it takes several generations to see the change.
When you can see over the course of 30 years, how political correct seeped into the american consciousness, yet somehow skipped over many other parts of the world.
I think it's worth looking into, and thinking critically.

This might cause more tension then needed.
Not from Putin directly. There were a lot of actions taken by the Russian government which just imply it. High ranking Russian officials that booked reservations for restaurants in Kyiv the week after the invasion, troops taking their dress uniforms instead of food, a pre-scheduled propaganda essay that was accidentally released on the 28th which retained language implying that Kyiv had already been taken and so forth.

If you listened to the entire interview, I don’t know how you managed to mentally substitute the term “Russia” for the term “Marxism-Leninism” for 15 entire minutes. The man is talking about ideological subversion. It’s not about nationalism. It’s about the propagation of leftist ideology.

McCarthyism was in the 1950’s and by the 80’s had already been “discredited” as some sort of witch hunt.

Bezmenov already says in 1985 that the ideological program had succeeded beyond all expectations and that Americans were doing most of the work for them. That, coupled with the collapse of the USSR, would allow that leftist ideology to mutate into the forms we see today.

I’m not entirely convinced Yuri is telling the truth here, but I thought it would be useful to clarify and perhaps steelman what he is saying, and what that would imply to us in 2023.
Actually not. The kind of asset they invested in does not really matter. If they invested in super safe government bonds at <1% at the same time, they would have had the exact same issue. It is the rapidly rising interest rates that did them in. If they were smarter they could have done a rolling ladder of short maturities but probably someone there was lazy.
everything the ai says is something the ai says philosphically
“It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that’s the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals-steel, copper, aluminium, etc.-because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminium keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes.”

> 2. Fed raises interest rates. Now new mortgages are shiny (they return more money) and those old mortgages are shitty, so now they are worth $75 ea. Normally not a problem as they can wait for those mortgages to mature and get $105.

It's not that new mortgages are shiny and old mortgages aren't; it's that $100 in 5 years (or whatever) is now worth less. It's easier with zero coupon bonds, because there's only the maturity, so a $100 zero coupon bond that matures on date X is worth $Y, regardless of when it was issued; and $100 mortgage that completes on date X needs to have each payment adjusted for current value. Clearly, a smaller series of payments is worth less than a larger series of payments, even though the principal amount is the same.
These days, I just carry around about a dozen index cards clipped together along with a cheapo Pilot G3 gel pen. On my desks (home and work) I have a legal pad that I just leave on the desk, but carry into meetings. Digital notes, and photos of index cards go into the Obsidian app.

I absolutely destroy almost every notebook I've tried, including Moleskines and Field Notes.

They last a few weeks, top, before the binding or something is worn to the point it's falling apart. I really liked the waterproof Field Notes for a while, they were durable but super finicky about pens, especially my chosen cheap pen: Pilot G3.

For the Pilot G3 pens, I buy a bulk pack from Costco and don't worry too much about losing them. When my blister pack is running low, I buy another one from Costco. I think I've only bought 2 packs total over 3-4 years. Somehow, I lose cheap pens much less than fancy pens.

It's all super cheap and works well for me.
Sure there is. I mean, there's no ideology that promises a better future for the common man, like communism, but ideology there is; Imperialism, glory of the motherland, a peculiarly Russian variant of "Manifest destiny", power of the state, domination of lesser peoples, etc. Fascism, if you like.
> Yet, a gap persists between humans and these algorithms: in spite of considerable training data, current language models are challenged by long story generation, summarization and coherent dialogue and information retrieval13,14,15,16,17; they fail to capture several syntactic constructs and semantics properties18,19,20,21,22 and their linguistic understanding is superficial19,21,22,23,24. For instance, they tend to incorrectly assign the verb to the subject in nested phrases like ‘the keys that the man holds ARE here’20. Similarly, when text generation is optimized on next-word prediction only, deep language models generate bland, incoherent sequences or get stuck in repetitive loops13.

I don’t see how your quotes imply that F# is not a functional language.
No, that's not true. SSH keys are long-lived secrets, and certificates often deliberately aren't.
That's a very good point. I think services could include things like financial management, checking, sending/receiving fees, etc.

You're right, in this model it wouldn't be nearly as profitable to be a bank as it is now. Potentially, it could be a "public good" provided by the government, or it could be like a lot of the brokerages who provide investment services and charge a commission on top.

Also, you're right it would be very hard for banks to be anywhere near as profitable as they are now if assets are backed 1:1.

But in some sense, banking is already viewed as a public good since the FDIC is backing all of the bank deposits. So at the moment we kind of have a weird hybrid situation where banks are kind of pseudo-private, but also backed by the government.

The main difference between the two is that the cutter approach means that the two features must coexist at more or less the same place in the code and that the architecture must be adapted to accommodate this half-dead half-alive chimera.

In the end you have three states two deal with with the code before the new feature, the chimeric code and then the code with the new code enabled.

With the steel thread approach the feature exists on its own and is used and tested in production at the very beginning, although with limited traffic first. Important to note that the author seems to assume a micro-service architecture.

Do you have a source for this claim? Normally when I hear about workers at factories like this, they are treated like shit in all kinds of ways, given few other options, physically abused, and strongly coerced in to the longest shifts legally possible, or longer.

See this documentary about global garment workers. Hopefully Foxconn is better, but we can't just assume people are not being abused.

I think programmers find double-entry bookkeeping counterintuitive. It feels error-prone. In programming, you keep a single source of truth. Any time you copy the same data to two different places, one of them is always wrong.

Double-entry bookkeeping makes sense once you understand the the invariants you have to keep, and why you need to track 5 different types of books. Some of those accounts work in opposite ways, such that credit to one is a debit to another.

It all works out and is essential for "debugging" problems (when money appears to go missing -- or worse, materializes and you don't know why). But there's some counterintuitive language and it'll mess you up until you accept it.
There is something people like about cocaine as well, but it doesn't mean it should be prevalent in society. You know what a good way to connect with people is? To go out and talk to them.

I would be incredibly surprised if the majority of users see dramatic upticks in connectedness while engaging with FB/IG/Twitter.

I love the concept of forums and little communities here and there, hell even the little post count and quirky username colors based on seniority meant something to me in those days. But as soon as those things are turned into mega money making machines, the incentives are no longer with the users.

The risky part is (or more precisely has happened to be) the 10+ year duration, more than the ~1% yield over treasuries (which may be too low to compensate for the additional risk but is not what has brought the bank down).
The article provides a pretty good overview of the landscape of debuggers out there. I find myself using printf debugging whenever something is a dynamically evolving state and I need to monitor just the relevant bits of it and breakpoints when something is either crashing or requiring a deeper thought about how the code executes.

That said, I still think there's quite a bit of improvement to be made, which is why I started building a new debugger for myself which puts a lot more focus on breakpoint-less workflow, speed of iteration and scripting ability: (demo) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJYoqfTfuQk

Eventually, sure, but we don't really know where. And neither does the Fed, though I'm sure they have ideas on how far they want to go. They don't control the jobs report though.
