i’m not talking about what the savvy thing to do is, just taking issue with the assertion that “it doesn’t matter if a bank fails cause it’s insured” when there’s a limit that the OP either failed to mention or didn’t know about

and not that it matters but this is specifically about a startup or business not talking about personal finances of an individual
After transmitting something via the GSM modem, our onboard GPS chip would give inaccurate positions for the next second or two.

>And, also, loan losses would need to be covered out of other profits by banks

But, like, what if they aren't? Who holds the bag when losses exceed profits? That is of course exactly the case where deposit insurance comes in handy. So I'm pretty sure you still need it.

Your model protects specifically against losses due to time mismatch between deposits and loans, but there are other ways that loans can go bad!

The difficult part is in training. Training in proper conditions is really hard because when those conditions are present, it's all hands on deck and the instructors can't be instructing because they're out actually deicing planes. So there's a bottleneck for new deicers to come on board. Plus the cost of the fluid (and the highly specialized vehicles), like you mentioned. The use case is a bit more clear compared to for welding, when anyone can just pick one up from Harbor Freight for < $150.
UK need to divide the country into cost regions based on the bottlenecks and it will work like international power connections. The political problem is making Scotland its own separate region.

Have a look at the regions in for example Sweden which face similar bottlenecks in transmission capacity from north to south.

What stat can you possibly use to quantify your argument that shouldn’t be a per capita stat?

And for what it’s worth Phillips County was averaging 8 gun deaths a year across that time period for a place that has less than 20k people. That’s a shocking stat even with “small” numbers.
I mean, it feels like stealing but it would be complicated to build a case around a fraud charge given that no one ever actively told a lie.

Maybe this is taken care of in the user agreement or the terms of services? “User warrants that he is not trying to profit by use of the two factor auth system?” I’ve never read an agreement like this one.
>"Tolerance for the intolerant only leads in the extermination of the tolerant."

This is awfully hyperbolic, I cannot take it seriously because it comes across as an indictment of tolerance and an endorsement of intolerance as a moral imperative. Granted, I'm sure the implication is that it would be a 'righteous' kind of intolerance, but it is rooted in absolutism nonetheless.
“I want to make a deposit and earn interest”

“Sorry we have to wait for someone else to want a loan”

If you’re trying to solve one extremely rare problem (bank runs) by completely dismantling a much demanded and commonly used banking feature (interest bearing accounts with liquidity) then sure, this would do it.

But nobody actually wants that.
Agreed, we shall see! I empathize with what you are saying, because personally I am very slow to understand other people's code.

But, because Second builds commodity features, everything is so vanilla that it's actually pretty easy to understand. No weird anti-patterns or anything.

The conflation of 'the political left's perception of reality' with 'the truth' is outrageous, and nothing more than an attempt to delegitimize views that conflict with the political left's agenda, which corresponds with polls showing in the US, registered Democrats are increasingly gravitating toward authoritarianism:

The evidence for harm from lockdowns is at this point overwhelming, but this issue has become so politicized that the worst policy decision perhaps in history is being swept under the rug.

Absent a feasible zero-COVID strategy, which for most countries was never in the books due to their geographical situation, lockdowns have been found to have virtually no impact on reducing the spread of COVID.

Well, the big difference is that the bank CEO's statement doesn't suggest that he will or could do something awful himself.

It is indeed quite common to hear aphorisms like "live every day like it's your last" which make the same point as your analogy, but remove the suggestion that the speaker could be a murderer and are thus much more analogous to the bank CEO's statement.
I remember reading about someone who lived in a new york (?) highrise shabbat observing neighbors. He would come home those days and find people clustered in the lobby who would patiently wait for him to call the elevator and quickly jump on with him.

Not a rebuttal, just curious, how do you find your productivity compares to a "real" statically typed language (e.g. Go, Java, etc.)? Does your increase in productivity compared to JavaScript simply come from static typing, or is TypeScript itself the source?

Same here, I don't think I've _ever_ destroyed a keyboard in my life. After about a decade on one, I just get tired of it and want to try something new.

Right now my favorite is the wired Apple Magic keyboard with numpad. I bought my current one new on ebay during covid at a big of a premium because they stopped making them years ago and are NLA. I don't use a Mac so the layout is funky, but all of the standard-layout knock-offs are bluetooth-only, have poor reviews, or are staggeringly expensive.
Singapore is building a similar project, a large solar array in Australia connected by undersea cable[0].

I think it makes a lot more sense for a city state like Singapore, with very limited space to build their own power infrastructure.

But for a country like the UK, just the energy security risk alone seems dangerous, especially after what we have seen with the Russian gas pipelines.

These cables can easily be attacked, any country with a semi-competent navy could probably pull it off covertly, which would make attribution difficult.

Although I guess the US could have been a little more covert about their efforts[1].

>Pay does not guarantee quality. You may simply not be able to find the people (or at least enough of them) that you need, no matter what you are willing to pay. Not everything is a 'free market' problem.

It is obvious there are no guarantees in life. But over the long term, quality correlates with price of the goods are limited in quantity.

It is obvious over the past many decades that the pay to quality of life at work ratio for manual labor has lagged far behind “office”. Therefore, to attract the best or even above median young people to manual labor jobs, they will need to offer a commensurate price to overcome that reputation.

So they send you a "High-performance CPU"? Isn't that weird? If you need a CPU, you probably need the whole computer and GPU.
So the Second UI is based on feature modules. You, the human, choose a feature to add. You configure it and then press "Commit Code" or "Raise PR". You can customize in two ways:

1) I can add more configuration options to the modules
2) you can tweak the results with code! After all, the generated code is yours to keep!
>SVB was historically such a weird bank - it was the most "famous" tech bank

What would you name as its peers? I've heard First Republic. What about Bank of the West?

>perhaps solely because of its name

It is a killer name, after all. I bet the First Republics of the world wish that when they were started however many decades ago, their founders had the foresight to name them "High-Tech Bank" or "Sand Hill Bank" or somesuch.
not ..completely. startups have a slightly different profile than normal businesses, and SVB is well-oiled machine for working with them. maybe its more charitable to say that they have specialized?
Any tips for spotting GPT text?
> that machinery being so expensive is part of a long tradition of 'developed countries' (powerful peoples) wielding power over other weaker countries by means of technological availability restrictions.

I'm having real trouble unpacking what you mean here. Machinery is expensive because... there's a worldwide cartel keeping prices up to keep out new players? Could it also be that making machines is hard and requires a lot of research/labor/material?

It’s different, but hard to say if it’s better or worse globally. Dust from the Sahara plays a major role in cloud formation and transporting nutrients to the Amazon basin.

I doubt it would be significant for the Amazon in the short term, but it could mean less frequent but larger tropical storms in the mid Atlantic which then pound the east coast. Perhaps it’s a net good globally and just bad for America and the Caribbean, I don’t actually know.

However, these plans don’t actually involve that much land so the net effect is probably minimal compared to the gain from reducing natural gas useage.

> ChatGPT is so eager to espouse opinions that OpenAI had to nerf it so it doesn't.

That's in the article. It is the poodle's core, too. ChatGPT's creators did not expect it to be able understand ethics. They did not expect themselves to be able to "teach" ChatGPT moral values. Because ChatGPT lacks the intellectual capacity of a 5 year old. And so they simply barred it from voicing an opinion altogether.

It is a very important point. The authors are arguing that this statistical algorithm is fundamentally incapable of overcoming this deficiency because it lacks the critical faculties every human possesses.
Wow, it seems like you have a number of good options to choose from. What a horrible situation, to have a language with a really rich ecosystem of powerful libraries.

Yea, this is one of the capabilities I want to support. Auto upgrades. I am very confident it is possible, but it will be later on in my roadmap. Right now, most users and customers are interested in speeding up feature development vs. one time upgrades. But I'm with you!
There are similar plans to power Singapore with Australian solar. And Norway is exporting hydro to Europe via underseas cables. And the UK and Norway are planning to exchange wind and hydro both ways. Connections by cable are a game changer. Easy to understand and proven technology.

It's an often overlooked factor in renewable energy. Yes intermittency seasonality is a thing. But it's a local effect that you can compensate for by connecting to other intermittent sources of energy. They won't all fail at the same time on average. And if you interconnect enough different sources, the system as a whole gets more predictable and resilient. It's not all going to fail at the same time everywhere.

> The Kepler equation is relatively simple compared to other equations re-discovered by ML.

But the ML was given, as input, the locations of the planets already in the solar system level Cartesian (x,y,z) coordinates.

I am skeptical that any AI system would be able infer Kepler's model of elliptic orbitals around the Sun, if all they were given was Tycho Brahe's data as (altitude angle, azimuth angle, time) as seen from the point of view of an observer on the surface of Earth at the location of Denmark.
> I am sorry for being so critical

You should apologize for being disrespectful. There's no reason to attack the founder personally with words like: pathetic, desperate, or insulting their critical thinking by saying "you haven't thought this through at all." You can write an equally critical comment without the vitrol.
They are telling you you can have all that money immediately. And they are telling that to all the depositors. That's the lie. It's a bit abstracted due to aggregation, admittedly, but that's the lie.

The bank has to make money, otherwise it cannot pay it's staff or keep the lights on.

So that's either loans, or effectively giving people a negative interest account where you lose your money. Citibank does this, they just call it "fees" and it really, really hurts the people who don't have much money.

As a Scala user, every other language out there is still a painful step back. Kotlin or Typescript or even Rust are painful once you're used to having HKT and real monads. And while Haskell-the-language is good, if you think Scala tooling is bad....

I predict Scala will see an upswing for the same reason that OCaml has been on an upward trend in recent years; even if a language is no longer unhyped, if it's well-designed then it still ends up being the best way to get things done.

The point is to make the Netflix experience better for the average person than the experience of using a pirated source.

And - IMHO - it works.

I used to use Bittorrent quite a lot. There was a bunch of US shows I watched that were unavailable in Australia and so I had a pretty decent setup where things would automatically download when torrents were posted.

Life happened, I stopped using it and haven't really tried torrents for maybe 10 years.

I tried to get a show recently that isn't available here. Wow, that's a pretty bad experience - try to find the correct show, work out what client you need, find one that has seeders, downlaod one and the codec is wrong for my device etc

I just gave up.

I can get NVidia software working on non-standard Linux builds (which I think is a pretty high level of technical competency) but for most people getting pirated content isn't worth the effort.

By putting DRM on the content, they limit distribution to people who know how to remove it and then to people who are experienced at finding what they want on pirate sites.

TL;DR: The user experience is much better for most people. Pirated content has such a bad user experience, but people who use it have invested a lot of time working out what works and don't realize the effort it takes.
Just so I understand correctly, levels.fyi is saying that a Google L5 offer in a HCOL city is around $200k/$100k/$30k right now. If we are very conservative and value the RSUs at 75% that’s still $305k total.

Are you saying the cash component of post series A offer should be competitive with $200k, $230k, $305k, or $330k?
Aren't a lot of companies given large amounts of capital at the early stages of the company which are not interest-earning loans?
Well sure, but one could theoretically imagine banks which are prohibited to lend money from their customers' current accounts and only make loans based on their CDs - and one aspect of that is that they'd have to offer much better terms for CDs since they would be in much higher demand.
Correct! Second generates new features from configurable modules in the Second UI. I cannot use a prompt because this would require massive context windows (4k tokens is the limit). I'm using configurations so that I can use a mix of compilers and GPT-3. My compilers construct individual prompts for different tasks.
> Is there some financial motive I'm unaware of?

Precisely the opposite. We do it for free because other people do it for money.
Those government-mandated, ultra-safe capital reserves look like they're actually the big problem that's going to bring down banks right now. Banks have stuck a bunch of their reserves in really safe, predictable, high quality long-term bonds (particularly government issued ones). Because interest rates have gone up, those bonds are now worth substantially less than they were a year or so ago, meaning that the banks' ability to cope with people and businesses withdrawing their deposits has gone down substantially.
Nah, with good filters, the UV radiation doesn't reach your retina. And modern masks have filtered ventilation too (in addition to workplace fume extraction if working indoors).
But you need to focus on the workpiece, the gun, the puddle... the whole time. The contrast you get through that filters is shit - can't really see a lot apart from the arc and the puddle (especially if you are older). Being a welder guarantees a lot of eye strain. It isn't like they actually get damaged, but it can be very unpleasant nonetheless.
And all that just because of that ultra-bright arc. With augmented reality, you could just see all the things like if there where no filter and the arc wouldn't be there.
Not exactly inviting, but yes, they do allow it and that counts for something.
The average IQ is 100 by definition. Any time you see someone claiming the average IQ is something other than 100, they either don't know what they're talking about, or they are trying to deceive you about something.

This is also why people who say that the average IQ has been rising or falling over time are mistaken.

IQ doesn't really mean what most people think it means. What it really means has been a matter of disagreement ever since it was introduced, but it is a poor proxy for "intelligence" at best, and can't be used to compare intelligence differences over time.

> the power network cannot transport it, you get told not to bother producing it

I know I just don't understand the details but I'm always kinda confused about how hard it seems to be to dump excess power off the grid. Is it just really hard to build something that can use enough power even when it doesn't need to do any useful work?
Can't be cheaper than the materials and labor costs to build it. If house prices get too cheap house builders / contractors will stop building. This will pinch supply and keep house prices high enough that only cash rich (corps and banks) can afford them. Most people will have no choice but to rent indefinitely. Those who manage to save up some $400k may finally afford to buy a house just in time for retirement.
Agreed. For training purposes this software could be integrated in to the AR you describe so the user could get immediate feedback on the quality of their work without an instructor.

To me the holy grail of AR would be expert level overlays for construction or repair jobs. If I could wear AR glasses and see part removal order, torque specs, and reassembly order I could do any mechanical repair job, provided I have the tools.
