yes but if you look at the decade before that, it was pretty common about 3-10 or so bank takeovers per year, from the link below.
How would you want to actually look at the database diff? Just a summary view of rows that were changed given a certain time period?
That interview with the chairman (chairwoman?) is just great. She straight up says that maybe they shouldn't bail out the big banks and instead apply a similar process to them.
I have a very similar plan involving a Raspberry Pi, I agree that it's a great middle ground.

IMO screentime that only involves video calls with family is perfectly fine, especially if it is a group activity. In general (timeboxed) social activities that involve multiple people watching/interacting with a single screen don't seem as potentially consuming (e.g. a Super Bowl party). That's our arms-length strategy at this point. Seems to have worked quite well so far w.r.t. not getting obsessed with electronics. We'll see what happens when peers start getting phones/tablets though...
I found GDB to have a steep learning curve, even stepping through code was hard at first. Now I simply cannot work without it anymore. I have GDB scripts for visualizing all my data structures now. GDB script is a painful little language but it just changed everything for me.

I've owned and sold several homes that I've renovated and they always fetch a premium.

Recently I sold an apartment in a complex with 1200 units - so comps are widely available. The sale happened in a matter of hours with 6 way-over-ask offers, half of which were all cash. The closing price continues to be a high water mark for this unit / line in the complex.

There were other units on the market at the same time as us where the sale took weeks if not months and sold for drastically less. Some of them were recently renovated, but had builder grade finishes.

High end kitchen / bathroom renovations (aka appliances) are most certainly a major factor.
The point of the story was that the money actually never got seized.

When interest rates are negative the bank could just stuff the cash in a mattress no? Why do they need to take risks? They don't HAVE to (except profit of course)
Unbank the banked.
Assuming legitimate operations, this strategy is highly atypical in corporate finance. There is no scenario where this setup has less cumulative risk than keeping cash reserves spread evenly across the top 2-3 banks. For a startup, this is a red flag about the founders' priorities, risk management, and ability to find professional advice.

As an intuitive measure, extrapolate this idea to Apple or Microsoft, which keep ~$10B in cash on hand and also need to protect it.
I know saying "fuck the police" is an overused cliche at this point but how the fuck can anyone have any respect for the police as a whole when this is the shit they do? In canada they arrest you for a hand gesture and in america they arrest you for letting your children walk outside. How could any sane member of society go to a person's house and arrest them for these things? And they still have the nerve to complain that people don't respect them! Do cops in canada have discretion like american cops do?

I am not completely anti-police and I do think that it's a tough job and is ultimately necessary for a society. But I really think we need to completely start over because our current implementation of policing is completely fucked.
It’s amazing how long this goes back. ATM transactions fees are stupid high, and now I have someone to blame.
so far, Yubikeys are the only ones I've found that support both FIDO2 / WebAuthn as well as GPG smart card functionality for use with pass(1).

they also support ed25519 FIDO SSH keys, whereas all the cheapo FIDO keys I've tested only support ecdsa-nistp256, but that's a relatively minor difference.

Nitrokey 3 claims that GPG smart card support is planned in an upcoming firmware update. once that's released I may bite the bullet on shipping costs and order one. 55€ shipping to the US for a 49€ key is cost-prohibitive for the most part.
Not sure they have open source adapters though. Maybe they do. But the big release from Nvidia last year was that you can see and use the code that calls into their blobs.
The big problem with debuggers in my experience is the difficulty of setup. They take a lot of code to build, and if you use a slightly different language or compiler or OS you're SoL. Or at least facing some rabbitholes of unknown depth.

The most sophisticated debuggers seem to target C or Lisp. But lately I don't use either.

I've never gotten time-travel debugging in gdb to work. And it's been out for more than 10 years at this point. The last time was 2 years ago, so I forget the details. I do love tracepoints in gdb.

I've been watching https://rr-project.org for a while. The instructions still say, "build from source".

I looked at LLDB after your previous comment. Got it installed, but I can't actually get it to set a breakpoint on Linux. The docs seem optimized for Mac.

I have no doubt that once you get something set up just right you can do great things with it. But the power to weight ratio seems totally out of whack. Part of the goal of my projects recently has been to show that you can get a bunch of features far more simply if you build on a base of logging. If the programmer is willing to modify the program, a single tool can help debug programs in a wide variety of languages. They just have to follow a common and fairly simple protocol.

The big drawback of my approaches is that they don't scale for long runs of huge codebases. That hasn't been an issue for most programs I ever want to debug. Why should I pay the complexity costs of debugging gcc or Firefox for small programs.
Duration risk is risk. Bonds are not risk free. Buying treasuries at ~0% rates was frankly stupid. The narrative going around that there was adequate risk management here and at Silvergate is not correct.

The main question is whether they were forced into these investments via regulations. It's likely they could have bought shorter dated treasuries and been fine. In the end, regulations may change such that banks can only buy short dated treasuries... or limitations on the level of duration they can hold.
It seems like anybody can find any way to light standing cash on fire. Not just crypto poster children. So...
They bought bonds, which tanked when the Fed raised interest rates by 5% in a year. It seemed sane, until now

Suspect that particular solar panel is bad, until you've tried a couple of others at least.

But going to a bigger system is probably better anyway. They make "solar electric fence chargers", look to those for examples of how to do it.

Lead/Acid batteries are great for this kind of application because they're robust and cheap, you can often treat the battery and charger circuit as one problem and then just tap the battery as if it was an automotive application (needing beefy filtering anyhow).

The fdic assigns a buyer and pays the buyer, from what I understand.

I see it as very different from FTX. In SVB there was no fraud and no criminal wrongdoing; there may be no moral wrongdoing either. SVB was a chartered bank, subject to all regulation and reserve balance rules that other banks follow. As far as we know they followed all regulation to a letter.

Two things got SVB down. First, a rapid change in interest rate got their assets repriced down. It did not need to be fatal, this happens to all banks when interest rates rise quickly.

Second, its customers did a ran and went to pull their money. If all depositors of the BoA or Chase pull money out, those banks will collapse, too. This is highly unlikely for the BoA -- if folks start saying that BoA will collapse most depositors would shrug it off; the diversity of its base will make a run highly unlikely.

But as SVB was a much smaller bank and had a lot of similar customers (startups advised by similar VCs) the ran was seen as plausible at which point it was over -- customers pulled enough money to kill the bank. This is the price we pay for the flexibility of the current banking system that allows people to get loans and free checking accounts. My 2c.
Right now, Russia is at war.

They hate that Western countries are providing intel and armaments to the defense of Ukraine.

I agree and am still trying to determine the target use case here. Maybe Miller is so flush they developed it and don’t have much to lose, if people buy into the ecosystem good for Miller.
> You don't take your appliances with you when you move?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Dishwashers are probably the most-likely to stay with the house, followed by the range. Fridge may be included with the house, or specified as negotiable, but often isn't—probably the most-likely one for the seller to keep. Some higher-end models of various appliances (including refrigerators) may be built-in rather than freestanding, and/or to be styled to match the cabinets, and in those cases they almost always stay. Clothes washer and dryer are usually taken.

IME appliances are more likely to stay the higher the cost of the house (they're more likely to be kinda tied to the house, style-wise or physically; the owner is more likely to consider them not worth moving).
most likely a partial payment - i.e. you have 500K in the bank, 250K is insured and you know you will get it back - the other $250K nobody knows how much will be available when the dust settles, but maybe they (FDIC) feels confident they can give you 10% of that now, and keep making more payments as the picture becomes clearer on how much you can eventually get back. You won't get any final payments for many many months when everything is fully resolved.
HN really is like a ChatGPT version of itself. SVB is a 40 year old bank, bro. They are the old stodgy bank. The Meows and Mercurys are all still around.

Their problem was that their risk management didn't keep up with the changing times (rapid interest rate changes).

Please go on and tell us more HN tropey things like "oh they shouldn't have sold customer data!" or more things that could be an autogenerated robot comment by ELIZA.
There's a big difference between accounting for KNOWN risks wrt managing your treasury - something that every bank does as a matter of course - and trying new things.
People aren't doing this on the web for it's ubiquity, they are doing it because application distribution in the non-web ecosystem sucks. And because as bad as HTML and CSS is, native UI frameworks are even worse for most use cases.

If you don't like how all the applications are built on the web, by all means, provide a native alternative that's better.

Microsoft under Ballmer would have loved something like that, and spent a lot of money on trying to beat the web.
Why would someone keep more than $250K in bank deposits? Isn't it more prudent (looking back no more than 15 years) to keep T-Bills or some other liquid security that isn't subject to a bank run?
That's fine, I cannot work remotely 100% of the time, so more power to me?
Honestly if most debuggers did what the author suggests in the first paragraph, I'd use them 10x more. Other than Pry for ruby I've not found many to debugger tools that let me drop into code, run parts of it, examine variables etc, without needing a 4 year degree in using the debugger itself.
I’m over 30 and this rings false for me. Social networks introduced problems at a scale that they hadn’t really been seen before, and it has awful downsides. That being said, the basic concept is nice.

My parents, for example, are much more connected to their relatives overseas. More so than they’re relatives, they’re connected to their relatives’ friend groups. The conversations that take place now when they visit are better. They’re more in touch with more lives.

The ads, the fomo, the general fakeness of it all is awful. But the benefits still outweigh the negatives.
Lending money is like the grease in the gears of a liberal economy. In countries with such economies, the ability to purchase food is downstream of the economy operating smoothly. If you entirely remove the grease from the gears and the economy siezes up, you do put the ability for people to get food at risk. Agricultural business rely on lending, businesses that transport goods rely on lending, businesses that sell goods rely on lending. Sure, you can potentially avoid mass starvation by having a government step in and direct all that top-down. But that has been far from a universally successful "solution" in fairly recent history.

I agree that lending to individuals without assets or income is immoral. That is a very small sliver of debt activity.

Lending to a business based on an analysis of their future earnings potential is not immoral. It is a risk, but that's the business banks are in.

Honestly in the light of the day I'm not sure what point I was trying to make about the GFC, so I'll give you that one :)

I have heard this use case mentioned, and I get why lazy writers might want it. But I'm not seeing yet that it's good for readers. Can it bulk out actual points? Sure. As a reader, do I want the useful bits scattered among a bunch of fluff prose? Definitely not.

And that goes double for anything that is supposed to be meaningful human connection. E.g., after my mom died, I got a number of nice notes of condolence from people. I appreciated them. If any of them had felt machine-generated, that person would be dead to me.

So my general feeling about the composition case is that it is going to vastly enable the generation of documents that are, to one degree or another, bullshit. And I don't think that's a net positive for society. It's not like we had a bullshit shortage previously.
So from what I can tell, it sounds like this is a win for women in India. They were restricted from working as long as men (and still are?) so they couldn't make as much money as men.

I mostly post this because my initial reaction was "oh they made it easier to abuse them!" but it sounds like that's not actually the case, which is a bit of a relief.
I learned this lesson the hard way. I bought a new car after college graduation. Ordered it from the factory, got exactly what I wanted, picked it up with 5 miles on the odometer. I waged that car 4 times in three days.

On the 4th day, my mother backed out of the garage and damaged three panels on the front and side of the car.

After that I realized it was just a car.
They either made the story up based on what they read on reddit or you are making it up now based on what you have read on reddit. There is a third possibility that that person being incredibly dumb and they actually believed what they read - but I give that a slim chance.

Ask HN: AI in VLSI Design
Do I need to get an EE master’s (VLSI focus, interested in this field) to understand the field better so that I can use AI to improve chip design and manufacture life cycle (as a CS grad)?

I am a cs grad, but I liked electronics since first year's summer break when I took a practical course in electronics, then I played around with embedded systems & ai & robotics and web dev's study materials for all of my college years and never got past any intro course in any of them. now after graduation I feel like I know nothing and interested in a lot of things and not being able to decide what to choose. now I am interested in both ai & vlsi and can't decide between:

1.using ai to automate the build process of ic chips. or,

2.using vlsi to design ai-specific chips to advance the field more and more.

being ignorant about both fields, I can't make a decision. and I feel like I have to study both no matter what order of the two I pursue. so, I chose to start with ai as a tool for solving problems and then later in my career I pursue an MS in EE to understand the kind of problems in this field and how to solve it using ai. and this order is safer for me, giving my cs background, than to shift my career to EE as a fresh grad.

does this make any sense, or I am just wasting my time for lack of experience to decide?

and what is the job title for something like this? is it related to a VLSI CAD engineer?
Yeah. Given we’ve moved from counting on our fingers to counting on our computers we need a new base 2 metric.
I hope people will excuse my cynicism

Step 1: Rehash a bunch of existing ideas together (PoC, vertical slice, strangler pattern).

Step 2: Give it a flashy new name.

Step 3: Market your consulting services as an expert for flashy new name. Sell to companies how they can build high performing organizations with this new technique.
I know a lot of individuals and startups, most over the $250k limit, who did not get out in time. SVB disabled wires and transfers for many yesterday.
Yeah social media is more like alcohol. Feels good in the moment, leaves a hangover if you stay away for any meaningful amount of time, is completely legal and generates a lot of profits and tax revenue. We all know it's bad for us and society at large, yet most of us can't stop using it. Can lubricate social relations but also potentiates abuse.
> Absolutely not. They're built into the house. Cabinets are literally constructed around them to fit seamlessly.

The SLS is mediocre but there are a few things to keep in mind:

1) NASA needs to keep in house rocketry expertise and the US government cannot rely on private companies 100% just for like NatSec reasons.

2) If NASA doesn't structure programs as pork barrel projects that make it difficult for small time senators to kill, they will constantly be nickle and dimed and have their budget slashed until their entire job is just to make memorabilia to sell.

3) Elon is not trustworthy. Our country should not rely on him. Starship hasn't launched yet, while SLS has now. I am excited for starship to launch, hopefully soon, but it's still not a functional rocket.
My experience differs.

I have worked at so many tech companies, and been on so many hiring panels, yet I have never seen demographic quota/quarter/whatever. Ever.

> I don't think that unsafe constructs are clearly delineated in Zig.

That's the real problem. It's a mixture of safe and unsafe features, with no clear boundary. C++ is like that. The trouble is, people keep using raw pointers and mess up. Read CERT advisories. Most of them come from that class of error.

This is the same problem all the attempts to fix up C have hit.

Just say no to unsafe code.
FDIC means you get paid immediately regardless, but the bank will almost invariably turn out to be good for the rest, just not quickly.
These statements seem pretty contradictory:

- "it had reserves in excess of its liabilities"
- "They can't unwind that position and cover all possible demands"

I'm guessing that you're thinking of some sort of valuation of their assets that says something like "well they're really worth more than they're currently valued at", which is a common claim on this story but it's a pretty bold one?
FB in 2005 was better in some ways, but iirc it didn't have pages, events, or communities yet, and those were truly useful features. I was a holdout until I went to college and saw how many clubs and stuff, even marketplaces (pre FB marketplace), were usefully organized on FB.

I could log into FB, browse the world-famous UC Berkeley meme page, RSVP for a comp sci talk, message my 8 group chats, sell my iClicker, buy a dining commons swipe, and message one of those "my sister needs a date for a party" ads all in one place.
Most un-insured depositors are going to get most of their money back. They'll get a good chunk (guestimate 20-50%) of it back within a week. The claims on SVB which will be held by depositors will likely be able to be sold to investors who specialize in this stuff for something reasonably close to par. Those who just hold onto the claim will be paid out most of what is owed (maybe literally 100%, more likely 90%+), but it will take longer.

It will be annoying and stressful, but basically ok.

> DFPI specifically called them insolvent in their release today, does that change your opinion on depositors being made whole?

If the asset/deposits balance hasn't changed much since December (which I'm not sure is the case), depositors are likely to eventually be made whole for the deposit amounts, but liquidity issues and facilitating sale of assets to make that happen may result in substantial delays. For depository accounts businesses relied on for regular operations, that...may still create substantial additional costs that will not be compensated.

So, in a more holistic sense, it seems likely that depositors will not be made truly whole for the impacts, even if they eventually recover deposits.
