Especially when a bunch of that extra income just goes to childcare and services to make up for having less time to manage the house. And then much of the rest is eaten in competition for housing, with prices increased by all the extra money from those second incomes.

I'm skeptical that we'd be much worse off, in actual experienced fact, if the norm were single-income households. I wouldn't be surprised if measures of contentment or happiness actually increased, overall.

That was a very entertaining read. Pulling no punches in the conclusion:

> 'In the modern-day vernacular, people often refer to a criminal case “being thrown out”. Obviously, this is little more than a figurative expression. Cases aren’t actually thrown out, in the literal or physical sense. Nevertheless, in the specific circumstances of this case, the Court is inclined to actually take the file and throw it out the window, which is the only way to adequately express my bewilderment with the fact that Mr. Epstein was subjected to an arrest and a fulsome criminal prosecution. Alas, the courtrooms of the Montreal courthouse do not have windows.'
Nothing. Most leftists are anti-authoritarian and want strict limits on the power of the state.

The small number that reify authoritarian regimes like the USSR/DPRK are known as 'tankies' (a reference to sending in tanks to crush the 1956 rebellion in Hungary). They are unpopular and regarded as either very immature or (if they're really serious) not much better than Nazis. 'Red-brown alliance' refers to the tendency of left wing authoritarians to sooner or later make common cause with right wing authoritarians because it seems expedient to team up to overthrow the prevailing liberal order, not unlike the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact that saw Hitler and Stalin divide up Poland. Authoritarian types tend to keep drifting right because right wing politics explicitly reify hierarchy and tend towards monarchy.

'The left' is highly fragmented in western countries, ranging from distributionists who like technology OK but want a flatter economic/industrial structure that treats capital like a library rather than an object of accumulation; to anti-civ types that want to dismantle industrial society altogether. Fortunately the latter tend to select themselves out and take up living in shacks instead.

If they have to liquidate their assets (mbs/treasuries) they’ll probably create at least some slippage, moreso in MBS, that may prevent them from recouping their value at current prices. Alternatively they can try to hold to maturity or spread out their selling but that will make depositors illiquid

I'm one of these (step) parents. I've long held that social media is a cancer and tried to model and promote responsible usage.

I've failed totally, and two of my children have had horrible mental health,with suicide attempts and ongoing issues to this day. Another had long struggles with drugs and has a pretty fragile mental situation even though he is mostly out the other side of that now, and on a better path.

I'm sure the anecdotal defense will be used, but I'm convinced that being exposed to all of the ills of the world via social media has been in part to blame for this, and this despite what I hoped were worthwhile attempts to demonstrate restraint in use of phones and social media, and educate my kids.

Them smoking (without social media existing) would have been better, imo.
I never worked in a line, but have seen a lot of antiwork discussions, and also the discussions on commute ... I know 12 hour shifts are arduous, but you do 12 hour shifts for 4 days then on one hand you reduce 1-2 days of commute, and on the other hand maybe you can commute at better commute hours.

More like 256 of them, just an image is actually 3 layers with RGB. If you are going into combinations, I could easily say that triplets of tokens are actually what's important, and so 250k^3 is the real number of whatever.

Actually now that I think about it, neural networks work with real numbers, so a pixel is just 3 numbers. Typical input for an image model would then be around 300x300x3 values. While an input for a language model is around 2000 tokens, but while each token is inputted as an integer into the model, mathematically it represents a 250k length vector, so mathematically the input is 250k x 2000 values. So 90k vs 500M. Also pixels next to each other in an image are related, so you can reduce model size by taking advantage of that (CNNs).
My first ebook "Discovering Domain-Driven Design" is available to purchase!

I'm an advocate for domain-driven design principles and wanted to share some of what I've learned over the past couple of years. The essence is that software engineers should strive to learn about business context and gain understanding of the domain to be able to develop quality software that solves real problems and communicate effectively. It's a vast topic but this is my attempt to share my passion and knowledge for the subject in a way that's easy to consume and understand.
Not op, but this seems like a particularly weird take...

I do support work myself, and our developers have a function that is broken and shoving too much stuff into the database. This crap is compiled into a DLL so I can't do anything about directly. Went to GPT and said "hey, I have a table named X, when Y updates write a trigger that deletes this"

In a few seconds it dumps out a working trigger. Now, I've never written one of these before, dong SQL stuff isn't really my forte, but with a basic understanding of what I needed done I got working code with an explanation faster than I could parse the how to.

Even if AI doesn't contribute more than that, for lots of use cases it's more than enough.
I bet they bought mortgage-backed securities because returns on everything safer were essentially zero. Crazy-low interest rates for too long created this problem.
When measuring a large scale crime like that of Cerebral, the number of victims is as important as the magnitude of the impact. There were 3.1 million victims. Stealing a dollar each from 3.1 million people would get the kind of law enforcement response that stealing $3.1M does even though the individual impact of that crime is virtually nil.
There may be no moral wrongdoing but it seems quite dumb to be so heavily in securities that massively lose value when rates go up and rates are at historic lows, no?

Let's assume most companies don't generally have drooling morons for CFOs because, well, they don't. The majority of unneeded funds are invested somewhere, most likely a managed fund. So the amount of cash sitting at SVB earning zero percent interest is relatively small. But when you have 30 people making $120/yr, and payroll is due this week ($300k), and your $1m/month AWS/GCP bill is also due this week (skip the rent of the office since everyone's working remote); the SVB account will have $1.3 million in it to pay upcoming obligations.

Covered entities are required to enter into BAA (Business Associate Agreement) contracts when they let other entities handle protected data. Those agreements basically say HIPAA rules and more have to be followed. You do this, for example, with AWS for your infrastructure, any other service that might be exposed to patient data, etc. With a broad perspective, these secondary entities are covered by HIPAA and it's rules, it's just technicalities with how this happens that makes a distinction. In other words you can't circumvent HIPAA by having a third party process your data.

You can however, circumvent the spirit of HIPAA and what most people would expect for data privacy by "deidentifying" your data and monetizing it in one of many ways which are wholly inadequate and usually reversable without much effort.

Why is "too much money" a thing? If a bank only wants $100 million in deposits, but customers deposit $150 million, why can't the bank set the extra $50 million to the side and pretend like it doesn't exist until customers want to withdraw it?
I will first try to explain with simplified numbers and then do the equivalent calculation somewhere else.

Let's assume you buy a $100 bond with 0% rate for 10 years. For simplicity, let's assume it's a riskless bond. Now, let's suppose those same bonds now pay 5% a month later. Well, the smart thing to do would be to sell your 1-month old bond and buy the new one. Of course, everyone is doing the same thing so the price has to drop until the bonds are equivalent. You would get $100/1.05^10 = $61.39. Of course, the old bond still pays 0% but now, on paper, the price of the bond should grow 5% every year as we get closer to maturation.

Going to the real world, it would be something like 4.5% (current Fed rate - expected to be higher) minus 1.5% (the MBS rate they have) is 3% difference and so $100/1.03^10 = $74.41. Now, you said 10+ and so doing the same thing with 15 years is $64.19. This is also not including the fact that MBS is strictly worse than treasuries in terms of riskiness and so it's easy to imagine 50% off.

Bringing your infrastructure from Cloud to on-perm is a project; you would have to hire a dedicated team. Once you have proven your start-up is providing a genuine solution, it is a lot easier to get funding for this.
my assumption is that scientific fraud is rarely premeditated. perpetrators are not setting out to lie or cheat. they start honestly, pick their field like anyone else would, then more like with N-rays[1], they start to believe their own false - or even valid but difficult to reproduce - results. then I suspect that, in competitive fields like Alzheimer’s or superconductors, the pressure to get results is such that the temptation for some to cheat just a little to “get the paper over the line” is too high

it’s understandable really. if you’re working with extremely unreplicable results, as they are here, and you genuinely believe in your results, then it’s only a small step. it’s still inexcusable of course, but it’s easy to see the thought process

this is not the same as what you’re describing, which is setting out to cheat from the beginning, which is almost certainly much rarer and undoubtedly harder to get away with, even in obscure cul-de-sacs

Can you give any example where hooks helped readability without trading it for extremely high complexity behind the scenes? I maintain a large React codebase part-time. The client is a very good friend of mine and I was the one who chose to make my own life miserable by selecting React. Needless to say I won't touch/introduce anything "new and/or popular" for customer projects with a ten-foot pole for the rest of my career.

I used both class-based (thank goodness?) and hooks based components but only coz React ecosystem forced me to, class-based were frozen and left in a sorry state - as if React's dictator-in-chief (forgot whoever they are/were, don't want to know - tried to engage once in writing the "beta" React docs but they were horribly toxic in response for no reason) is the only smart person(s) ever and all these OOP language designers are... No, dear Kim Jong(s), you were the ones abusing JS classes in strange counter productive ways and I easily found better OOP patterns for my class-based components. Then I met hooks - the definition of anti-productive. Not to say people don't have a right to write/reflect whatever madness in their code they want to but for me it's a tragedy their "work" became so popular. I don't mean to belittle people who actually have it but hooks is what comes to mind when I think of what PTSD must feel like. I no longer take up JS/TS SPA projects. For the mental strain - the pay feels peanuts compared to native mobile app development so why bother.
> I had the vague impression that after the 2007 crisis, banks holding retail deposit accounts were not allowed to invest in stuff like MBS, only investment banks (without retail accounts) were.

You are confusing the Great Recession with the Great Depression.

The 2007 crisis and subsequent Great Recession was contributed to by the 1999 repeal of that rule, adopted in response to the Great Depression; there were several efforts to restore it after the Great Recession, but none succeeded.
For tech workers who were part of the overtired 2021 cohort, sure, however most other industries remain isolated to this.

You ask for a real world use case, it saves people time/energy and has value to them. You respond by saying it's bullshit and they're lazy, but the fact is there is a lot of communications like that in the world.

I don't understand how the example on this page works:

https://docs.defer.run/features/delay/

Does the "defer" directory make the exports of those modules special? Because the defer function isn't called until the endpoint is hit, there's no way to really know (without static analysis, which is a can of worms) which functions will actually get deferred.

Moreover, how does the defer function know, at runtime, which function on the Defer platform needs to run? I could pass any arbitrary function to defer(), which surely can't be run externally. How does the defer platform know which function it can see (by importing my code) is the function my application has called defer() on?

Without knowing exactly the constraints of this, I have a lot of FUD.
I'm not sure I'm following. A visual debugger ticks a lot of boxes for my needs. Not all - some of them I had to tick myself, but I don't think that trying to reinvent the value that's already there in a debugger, would be particularly productive for me.

As for "forgetting", I don't think I forgot, because, well, I did make a new tool.

The main thing that I wanted to address in the parent comment is that needing tools to debug your code somehow means that the code is a mess - no, sometimes it doesn't.

I have a conflicting opinions on this post. On one hand, I loathe the use of "the government" as though it is some sort of monoblock. There are plenty of people who get into public service as a way to tangibly improve society and the lives of the people.

OTOH, you are right that too many people get away with abusing their powers.
I don't know how this certain feature is implemented. But Pass Keys are synced via iCloud and the private key never leaves any Secure Enclave in unencrypted form. Maybe these virtual security keys are different in that they are never synced via iCloud, but principally they could be.
Completely agree with you on the importance of idempotency. We will release our implementation shortly with a pattern close to the following:

```
const somethingThatMayHaveBeenCalledBefore = idempotent(myFunc, txnref);
const result = await somethingThatMayHaveBeenCalledBefore(params);
```
this is terrible. Many people will lose their jobs... due to liquidity issues at their companies :(
I absolutely would not have created that project if I had to spend several frustrating hours trying to figure out AppleScript in order to get started.

There are several good comments (& questions) in here, but I'll add the following:

Know your objective. What do you want to achieve with your marketing?
Know your target. Who are you trying to reach? Per the comment re: "precision marketing" search the term "account based marketing". This is a targeted B2B type approach. To over simplify, it comes down to really knowing/understanding who you want to reach, what's life like for them, what issues/pain-points they want solved, & you must consider when is the best time to reach them. Use your knowledge of their life/issues to craft the content to best engage them. Consider the time-frame of what you are trying to sell/promote and the buying cycle... is it long (over months) or short? Thus, you may need to plan on additional follow-ups/touchpoints for the 'buyers journey". etc.

You're request was how you can learn marketing. College is an option, just as it is for engineering. For more timely and cost-effective methods you can also get access to specific courses on linkedIn learning (check your local library for free access btw). Also check out coursera. There are many other no-cost low cost sources, but I thought I'd give you a few to start.

Anyway, I hope this helps.

I would. I would also feel victimized if you mugged me (without killing me or hurting me physically). The question we are debating here is - should you be punished equally harshly in this two scenarios? I'm leaning towards "no". If you disagree I would like to understand your reasoning.

Oh I read it as "I only want to block people manually". For sure if there are existing "moderation" tools in place to clear spam and wildly offensive material then yeah manually blocking the rest seems... mostly fine?

I guess the problem arises when we talk about what "wildly offensive" means. Deadnaming people and trying to claim there is no racial inequality in the American criminal justice system are two "wildly offensive" concepts to me that may not be to others, for example.
The conundrum with underwater bonds/mbs is that you can make depositors whole, or give depositors money back now, but not necessarily both.

If I had $1m in my account and it was invested 100% in MBS around in 2021, it could take 10 years to actually get the whole $1m back, and only be worth like $800k now. I have effectively lost that 20% because you could just give me $800k now and I could put it in a MBS myself to get the same results.
This is ridiculous. Pls. reread the threads, you'll find the answers.
