Borrowing short and lending long has been the traditional function of banks for hundreds of years. They profit from the interest rate spread between what they pay on short-term liabilities (mainly deposits) and what they receive on long-term assets (usually business or housing loans).

It's hilarious that banks serving crypto and startup ecosystems aren't failing because their crypto and startup loans went bad, they're failing because of the duration risk from holding long-term Treasurys on their balance sheet.
One of the main problems of Google+ was that it hadn't the cool people on it, it was always too dork-looking.

18,000/year sounds like a lot but...

In 2021, there were about 26.2 million children between the ages of 12 and 17 years old living in the United States. [0]

Even taking the high version of the estimate that it is per year, that is 0.3% of this population. And 0.12% if you include the under 12 population also

That is indeed the feeling I get when looking at the tremendous overengineering displayed by the software stacks teams sometimes end up with. Why solve customer problems when you could instead play with new toys?

To be clear: I'm a software developer, and I feel this natural tendency too. I've gotten pretty good at suppressing it though.
I tried to read the article but my HP computer just turned off randomly and installed an unauthorized bios update bricking it. I'm on my phone now and outraged.
> Hibernate is less interesting, and apparently unsupported using secure boot anyway.

That's not the case. I have a similar setup to yours (/ on ext4 with separate swap, on LVM on LUKS, separate /efi) and my box hibernates just fine with secure boot and auto-unlock via TPM.

The difference with your setup is I don't use grub, but have the UEFI load a signed unified kernel image directly. Since this works so well, I never had a reason to mess around with yet another moving piece (grub or other bootloader).

As another commenter said, I haven't attempted to mess around with the MOK. I just replaced all the secure boot keys with my own, and I've also signed MS's Windows key (but not the 3rd party one) for my dual-boot needs.

---

For specifics: This is an up-to-date Arch Linux install, running on an HP EliteBook 840 G8 (11th gen intel). I know Debian may have older components than arch, but this setup has been working for more than a year now.

IIRC, the most significant change was brought by systemd 251 which started supporting auto-unlocking LUKS with the TPM. Before that, on an older computer with the same general setup, hibernation worked well, too. I just needed to input the unlock password (which I was too lazy to do, so I just used my yubikey - see https://github.com/agherzan/yubikey-full-disk-encryption).
So basically conservatives planning to do what liberals have been doing since 2008. Better late than never I guess?
I wanted to go for a record of as many flips as possible. So I boosted up to 25,000 feet; started spinning until it was doing about one flip per second; waited a few minutes; then turned on the autopilot to come into a landing.

The autopilot did a perfect job of stopping the rotation and lateral motion, so the lander came down straight as an arrow. Unfortunately, the autopilot didn't even try to decelerate! I crashed into the moon at 0.9 degrees and 770 MPH.
It's designed to make it hard, but it does crypto operations using the key so it's in there and possible to extract similarly as other tamper resistant chips have been successfully physically attacked.
I predict the opposite and for the very reason you inadvertently suggested. The more Scala devotees obsess about HKT and dream of Haskell in their sleep the less relevant to business Scala will remain.
well, it will also probably not be true because it's a dumb statement.
What's wrong with having your Yubikeys on your keys?
It's this fetishization of the seemingly more "rational" position that these people seem to have. It's similarly mind-boggling when people have discussions about free-will and determinism. Free will is quite possibly the most fundamental experience humans have yet people will flatly deny free will exists.
> I never had big issues with Arch but Debian more than a few time gave me updates that entirely broke my system to the point of not booting anymore and not being able to fix it with a recovery USB.

Ha, I have the exact opposite experience - one can get (un)lucky on any OS it seems..
Presumably to avoid tampering of the kernel and initrd, since GP doesn't use secure boot.
This is like saying in 1700 that the invention of farming automation will displace 90%+ of farmers, what ever will they do?

Automation is helpful, but it’s also scary. I guarantee that nobody 300 years ago thought that many of the 90%+ of displaced farmers would end up sitting in front of screens, moving data around. And I also guarantee that farmers in the 1700s were just as tired and sick as the driving industry today.

Yeah it’ll suck for the people who don’t/can’t adapt. But the world that is created by removing unnecessary labor ends up being better for everyone eventually. Should we deprive the people of the future from the technology of never needing to drive, just because the transition is scary?
that cycle will break at the target markets and their price sensitivity.

similar to how current safety mechanisms are implemented. * two airbags, low weight constructions in entry segments targetting higher mileage versus 5+ airbags, advanced manufacturing processes that score high in crash tests and more as the segment price increases.
> If autonomous driving saves a ton of lives then an extra 1% is well worth it. Just from productivity increases alone it may also be well worth it

I think that's a pretty optimistic assessment of it. So far they've only been capable of driving in conditions where humans don't have accidents anyway, and driving in more difficult conditions is a bit of a "ladder to the Moon" scenario.

I don't buy into the whole "think of all the time you'll save" thing either.
You don't put the password to your FRIDGE in a Yubikey tears

I mean I don't even understand the "throw out a device if you forget a password" bit. That's not how secure elements (Apple, Yubikey) work. They're just a "write private key once, never read again" device.

I would agree though, based on your comment, please don't waste your money on a Yubi or other similar "secure element" platform.
Artificial intelligence will always be artificial.

If science can neither have a better definition of intelligence, or analyze and understand the resulting black box of a neural net, I don't see how AI would improve or get nearer general intelligence.

I have much more curiosity about neurology and how psychology define intelligence, than how programmers are trying to build things that digest data.

Proper science requires understanding. ML is not about understanding, it's only "sophisticated statistical methods". It is still artificial, thus but genuine.
To those downvoting, are you doing so on the basis of the idea that you believe that denying one’s personal experiences and telling them who they are and what to feel is preferable? Because if so, I would highly recommend you consider whether you might be an authoritarian if not just a huge jerk.
I'm the worst programmer when it comes to handling threads and parallel tasks in C++, that's why I'll read "C++ concurrency in action"[1] which has been recommended to me by a competent programmer.

I just did this last week and ran into an issue with LUKS: https://lore.kernel.org/cryptsetup/CAD-Ua_hPjBLHK0cyEz3k7KYB...

LUKS wouldn't accept my password, no matter how simple it was.

Turns out a BIOS update somehow messed up RAM settings which caused memory errors. And as LUKS needs a lot of memory for some of it's description operations bit flips can cause all of that to fail.

That was frustrating!
Don't run across a highway.

> There's this internet phenomenon (common on Reddit and other such forums) where you find high-quality discussions on a variety of topics and everyone seems so clever and informative, until you come across a thread on a topic that you are actually an expert on and find that every top-voted comment is objectively incorrect.

Sounds like the old days to me, where we would meet up , discuss the world and what have you, without any means to fact check anything online.

Changes there was a real expert on the subject in your circle was at best 20% So we just enjoyed / continue our life. No harm done as long as nobody took the discussion as gospel.
> Individual servers would let different groups set their own community standards, though likely with a “floor” of rules set by Meta, in a fashion similar to how Reddit’s individual communities work.

This is not praise. Reddit bans people for expressing widely held beliefs. Subreddit mods are required to enforce the site-wide rules regardless of the subreddit's own preferences.

As another commenter put it [1], the property that makes a decentralized social network desirable is actually that it's non-excludeable. There's no outside entity that can exclude people from the network. This is very similar to the core of what censorship is: there is a speaker and a listener who both want to communicate, but some third party prevents them.

What I would like from a social network is opt-in filtering, where you can choose some list of moderators whose decisions you trust, and subscribe to their block lists. But users should always have the final say on whose posts they view. If this new social network Meta is building puts users in control, it could be great.

What problem? AGI? lol The only problem companies solve is how to maximize $$$.
If you mark the bonds to market, the bank's equity is wiped out, and logically, that's what you should do.

Given that the law allows them not to if they're HTM, you get the same result, just with some delay. Their deposits are short term, and will leave the bank if SVB is not providing competitive interest rates. They cannot afford to pay competitive interest rates if they've loaned out the deposits at a lower rate than depositors now expect.

Once depositors realize this, it's a classic bank run scenario. They know that without help, the bank goes bust, and there's no point in taking any significant risk with bank deposits that aren't even paying any interest, so they take them out. As more people withdraw, the chance of a failure increases, and more people withdraw, etc.
They already knew that from Wave, which also had the "my friends aren't on it and I have no invites" headwind.

The complexity of what is learned is rooted in the complexity required to complete the task. Predicting the next token may seem deceptively simple but you have to ask yourself what it takes to generate/predict passages of coherent text that display recursive understanding. Seeing as language is the communication between intelligent minds, there's a lot of complex abstractions encoded in it.

The typical text to image objective function is more about mapping/translation. Map this text to this image. Neural Networks are lazy. They'll only learn what is necessary for the task. And mapping typically requires fewer abstractions than prediction.

It's like how bilingual llms can be much better translators than traditional map this sentence to this sentence translators.

I do mostly remote work, but there’s advantages to physical presence. First, offline is a more rich channel for communication. Blunt analogy is an audio vs video meeting. It’s easier to explain and understand people. If you have a lot of uncertainty and things changing fast, you want this.

Secondly, it brings people together. I myself found this argument BS, but I found out it really depends on the team. I am looking forward to the interactions I am having in the office now.

So, to each their own. Most importantly IMO is that teams can have freedom to decide what works best for them.

I'd expect "MokManager" to... manage the MOK. Never used it, though. For one PC whose UEFI was recalcitrant, I've had to use another tool, called "KeyTool". It may or may not be the same thing, but mine let you change multiple kinds of keys, and, in particular, the platform key (aka the "root" key).

There are several steps. First, you usually have to put the UEFI in "custom mode", where you install your keys and end with the Platform Key. You typically get some kind of warning when enrolling the PK similar to "this will get the system out of custom mode".

Could generate the mess of comments here from ChatGPT but fine, I will do it myself: (100% human made)

- Why would I subject myself to a commute?

- I like being in the office and talking to my coworkers

- You have no social life. I actually have friends unlike you

- Managers are twirling their moustaches to make us come in

- no it's the company executives trying to justify their office space purchases

- actually it's the real estate mafia

- managers just want to exercise power

- yeah it's the managers who want to see butts in seats

- clearly you don't have a family

- that's actually why they want to go in to the office, they don't like their family

Blah blah blah blah constant ceaseless repetition. God why do we never tire of it.
Leo and the rest of fedsoc have been doing this for a while. The article describes some of their successes and how they’re raising the stakes - are you responding to just the headline? What would be the liberal analog here anyway, there isn’t a single group with anywhere near the same impact on the judiciary.

And generally speaking the “liberal” cultural values are more popular, so there isn’t really a need for this kind of cultural revanchist strategizing/fund distributing. Which is why you see their projects focused on democratic means rather than the courts.
It's a pity they never stole quotemata() from Perl instead of having to escape regex metacharacters.
When I've asked ChatGPT about things I know a little about I find its response is often wrong. So much so that I always respond with "Are you sure that's correct?" it then often responds "I'm sorry you are right, I should have said... " and then says something a little closer to the truth.

I wouldn't rely on ChatGPT or any system that relies on it, except perhaps for summarising/rephrasing a single, known document. It worries me that people are using it for software development - creating stubs, bootstrap code. It's perhaps OK if you know the language/platform well enough to fix issues, but if you then use it on something that your not an expert in, what is the outcome.

For example:

Finding the source of literary quotes - miss attributing them - took 5 or 6 QA responses for it to get close.

Explaining how a p-channel enhancement mode MOSFET works - explained n-channel

Explain regex - often gets the technical parts right but can make very bad suggestions on what the regex aim is.

Name some classic cocktails created in Europe - suggested Manhattan, which it said was acceptable because it was popular in Europe

Suggest some gin based cocktails that don't include citrus, suggested those with lemon juice.
I would disagree. We have image generation with a variety of architectures. Diffusion models aside, it still takes a lot less parameters to model State of the art image generators with transformers (eg Parti).

Simplifying a bit, mapping (which is essentially the main goal of image generators and especially transformer generators) is just less complex than prediction.

Yes, machines can out-perform humans; that's why we build them.

A car with a rock on the peddle will out-run an olympic runner; but it isn't competing in a race.

To play, to compete, to do any of these things is to intend. One has to have the relevant mental states to "play" at anything.

A computer which scans a move tree and emits moves does not intend to do anything; it's just a car with a rock on the peddle. Of course it "wins", in as much as a river might, or a gust of wind.

We are interested in games because we play them; not because we "arrive at a win condition". Winning is only significant because it's play, not because of the board state.
Once a week is a lot, that’s hybrid and not remote. The thing is if someone “forces” you into an office once a week then it’s not for team collaboration but for control. They want to control that you are never going to travel too far from the office away. Organisations who care about collaboration and team bonding would say you should meet when the team decides it’s right for them. Throw in some budget so the teams can go for a nice lunch together when it happens, maybe have some for drinks after or let them plan an activity. But let the team decide when that time is, after all they will know best when a natural moment takes place where getting together will be good. It could be once a month, once every 6 weeks or sometimes once every two weeks.
I must return to the office for 4 days a week soon. Popcorn time, it will be very interesting, because some colleagues come 1 day a week for meetings now. If 4 days in the office will be enforced I will look for something different despite coming promotion. I really hate open space budget offices.
