It sounds like you need to spend some time doing some soul searching.

What do you think is served by that sentence of jail time? Disregarding that I think the law in question is outrageous - why is jail time an appropriate punishment? Is it fitting to imprison some one on the dubious claim that they impacted your profits? It does not seem to be a fitting or appropriate punishment, it seems to be ghoulish overkill to scare people from fucking with the money.
No, wages, salaries, payroll taxes and contractor expenses, along with most other expenses, are subtracted from gross profit to make net profit, which may undergo further reduction in various charges (depreciation, etc) before being subject to tax, and then various tax credits may be applied that reduce the corporate liability further.

Double taxation occurs when a corporation is subject to corporate tax and then pays a dividend, which is after tax, but counts as income to the investor. There are arguments to be made that this is fair or unfair.
For those who prefer a limited series, I recommend checking out the vast catalog of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean shows on Viki. The model of eternally-renewed-until-suddenly-canceled is not a global norm.
SVB didn’t make a risky bet- they did the opposite and locked deposits in a very conservative bond strategy.
You can't be in the space industry or even a tangentially related aerospace sector and not be a fan of SpaceX. It's continuously been 10 years ahead of the rest of the industry. The entire industry did nothing but tread water for 50 years after Apollo despite massive technology and manufacturing advances. The space shuttle was one giant deadly 30 year step backwards.

SpaceX has an effective monopoly on low cost launches for a reason. The closest company to it in terms of low cost capability is Blue Origin which hasn't even been to orbit yet. No one but ULA or Roscosmos is close in terms of reliable either. The Space Industry would still be launching single use overpriced rockets to LEO without SpaceX revolutionizing it.
He didn't claim that it is irrelevant, he said that it can be very small. This is clearly wrong based on empirical evidence that can be quantified based on hours of exposure to one or another language. It is enough to show a single counter example to his claim.

I’ve tried simulating that with chatgpt to some effect. I was just tinkering by hand but used it to write a story and it really helped with consistency and conference.
No, for a fact, he MADE the lives of such families. If your small time software does not end up being PRE'd somewhere; it doesn't exist.
Without the marketing budget of large corporates; you could just forget about competing with them.
The best practices are built on solid first principles, and you can get a pretty good grip on them from the High Scalability archives. Back when they posted actual tech articles, their content was some of the best available anywhere. Since you've read DDIA you will probably get quite a lot out of the archive. In fact, you should be able to identify at least some of the unstated problems.

I expected some stupid metaphor, but he title is technically true, but let's do the math:

The concentration of Hydrogen in air is 0.0000038% by mass. To get 2g of Hydrogen you need 50000000g of air. That is approximately 40000000 liters of air, that are 40000 m^3 of air.

With 2g of Hydrogen, you get 286kJ = 286kWs. Let's assume a 100% efficiency conversion that is very optimistic, and let's round it to 300kWs. That's enough to turn on 20000 lamps of 15W for 1 second.

So to keep one light on you need to pass 40000/20000 = 2m^3 of air per second. If it's a light, I expect a system/fan of a similar size, like a PC fan. Googling for a while, I found that a typical PC fan has only .2m^3/s.

So you need more than 10 PC fans blowing air in the system to turn on a lamp, assuming they don't need electricity.

Another possibility is to use the natural wind. Cherry-picking some numbers from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine#Records a turbine with a swept area of 38000 m^2 and a wind speed of 10m/s gets 400000m^3/s of air, that is optimistically 20g of Hydrogen per second, and optimistically 3000kW = 3MW. That's less than the 12MW of the turbine, and assuming a 100% of capture of the Hydrogen and also a 100% of conversion to electricity is too optimistic.
Now someone translate it to zig
Why is this article flagged? HN tech bros can't deal with criticism of their pet theories?

Yes, I know this comment is against the rules. So, flagging a valid serious article about the opinions of a respected scholar should be too.
Not at a policy level, really. Women could prefer stay-at-home spouses, to protect their own financial independence, though, even in a world so extremely into single-income households that such arrangements were somehow legally mandated (which isn't workable and probably isn't desirable anyway, but, even in that extreme, there'd be options, provided regulations weren't, themselves, sexist).

It's all hypothetical, anyway. We're not going back to that. Outside chance a few other countries do (some are still much farther that direction than we are) but the US never will, barring tyrannical theocracy or something like that. I do think we're buying rather less happiness than one might hope, for all this extra paid labor, but I also doubt that's a solvable problem, realistically.
No it wasn't conservative. It was very risky completely based on assuming almost 0% interest rates over 10 years and fully locked in. That's clearly a crazy position to take. Every small increase in interest rates has a outsized effect on these bonds.
The website blocked my IP from reading the article because it found my uMatrix suspicious. Just tell me to disable it or deny access to the site. No need to lock out people who like to decide where their computer connects to. That is a bit petty.

Of course you're correct, nobody knows the future.

It's possible the $80 billion in mortgage-backed securities they bought yielding 1% and maturing in 10 years might be salvaged. They're now worth far less than they paid because interest rates are up to 5% and nobody wants to buy bonds that yield 1%.

Maybe this receivership will bork a thousand startups, throw a bunch more people out of work, and cascade into a larger recession, driving interest rates back down to 1%, and restoring the value of the mortgage-backed securities, and making the bank solvent again!

Or maybe a recession severe enough to drive interest rates back to 1% would also be severe enough to prevent homeowners from paying their mortgages, which wouldn't be great for the valuation of mortgage-backed securities.
The statute of limitations for most federal crimes in USA is 5 years. I think they're fine.
I don't have the hardware to run the 60B model to test this at the moment -

How does it perform with programming, for example making a basic python script to scrape a website, or a bash script, etc?

I've managed to run the 13B* at 8bit with decent performance on a 4090 - but it's only 24GB of VMRAM so I've been struggling to run the 30B at anything more then a snails pace.
> Most things don't drift very fast at all. Most species in an old ecosystem could have evolved more than a million years ago and had little change since then.

No, that is the myth of the living fossil. It baffles me how you can deny this. What you are describing is an ecosystem composed entirely of living fossils. Living fossils don't exist.

It is not in fact possible for a species to have evolved more than a million years ago and had little change since then.

> I mean you couldn't tell the difference, other than it being a different tree. If you had a bunch of trees from 100,000 years ago and a bunch from today, you would not be able to sort them.

This might or might not be true, but it's pretty likely. If you give me a year to do the job, though, I'll be able to sort them.

I legitimately don't know what this is supposed to mean. I imagine there's an argument to be made about the fact that their search does kind of suck real bad, but it mostly doesn't matter because they do so many other things?
Hadn't considered this. I work for a consultancy...
The main disadvantage of the colo servers I administrate is the lack of flexibility for periods of hours to days.

We use ~50 fairly high performance (RAM, CPU, disc) servers pretty much continuously, so the savings compared to AWS etc are considerable. Every couple of years there's a software upgrade required, and it would be convenient to have another 50 servers to use during the transition, just for a few days.

Compared to AWS prices, we can easily justify keeping some old servers around to help with this sort of thing. A managed server company (Hetzner etc) would be somewhere in-between; presumably able to rent us 50 extra machines for the duration, but (last time we checked) still more expensive than managing the servers ourselves.
Academic work has all kinds of costs, why should data be free of charge?
Interesting, looks like state/feds inflate their win rates by just going after cases already won. Great way to inflates their numbers for political/financial reasons. Since many want a good win rate for public sector jobs. Or make their bosses/elected officials look like winners being tough on crime.

I'm sure there is a term for this, like cherry picking out of a basket of picked cherries.

> SLAAC can advertise the DNS server.

RFC6106 ? You're right that works. I was just trying to communicate the unobjectionable nature of stateless DHCPv6.

Stateful DHCPv6 is bad because it undermines the concept of hosts selecting their own addresses as needed for privacy, tethering, etc.

The decade old Android issue where Google refuses to implement stateful DCHPv6 provides some good background: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36949085#comment53
> Modern Russian propaganda is not all that similar to anything the Soviet Union was interested in. There is no serious ideological backbone to it. It’s all about putting out multitudes of conflicting narratives, giving people the “choice” to latch onto the ones they sympathize with most closely, and undermining the very concept of truth, democracy etc. “alternative facts”, if you will.

The USSR had a core of ideological propaganda, but its geostrategic influence operations were more flexible than its core propaganda.
An illustrative question is whether the working class is the middle class. I think that's less true today in the US than it was in years past.

While I'm not making actual music.. I was looking for a really small but unique instrument to learn just in a 5-10 minute break from my projects. I wanted to learn something that would attract the interest of others and that I could play anywhere, when just sitting there, like an airport.

The instrument I ended up downloading and plan to order one is the Kalimba. And I spent an hour learning ABCDEFG keys then I would just record what keys they were pressing, and play them until I could muscle memory kicked in and I can play up to about 16 songs now.

"Walking in the Air" was the very first song I learned, even though it was a bit more advanced.

It's been fun learning. Not going to produce or turn it into a studio or anything, but still fun. And makes for good conversation or just a small audience who loves music.

As a developer, it takes my mind off a problem for a while, but keeps my mind doing something. If it's too challenging, I'll take a break from learning how to play the music and go back to programming, and by then, I've often solved my problem, or taking a break, I can move past where I'd been stuck making the same mistake in the song.

We, the USA, have had energy dependence for decades now. Renewable especially with how the tech has advanced would have been one of the worst things in the world to do this with. You'd have dumped tons into factories and manufacturing that was obsolete before it even finished being build.

For fields with this kind of rapid iteration jumping in hard but later is the better move.
Don't know why this is being downvoted - if a bank takes $100 and keeps $20 liquid while investing $80, and then everyone comes for their money, the first $20 is available but the rest will be slower if not completely lost. If everyone tried to take their money yesterday some people will win but a large number will lose... If there wasn't a run on the bank chances are it could have (slightly?) weathered the storm.

> The principal criminal statute protecting copyrighted works is 17 U.S.C. § 506(a), which provides that "[a]ny person who infringes a copyright willfully and for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain" shall be punished as provided in 18 U.S.C. § 2319. Section 2319 provides, in pertinent part, that a 5-year felony shall apply if the offense "consists of the reproduction or distribution, during any 180-day period, of at least 10 copies or phonorecords, of 1 or more copyrighted works, with a retail value of more than $2,500." 18 U.S.C. § 2319(b)(1).

It is a rather low bar and doesn't take much to get to distribution of material that has a retail value of more than $2,500. No "overestimation" is needed there.

It would be reasonable to debate if $2,500 is too low of a threshold - but for the law as written, no overestimation is needed.
The situation was triggered by the government's rate change, but not really caused by it. The government did a normal fiscal policy action and effectively set off a land mine that SVB had set up for itself and its depositors.

The situation was created by SVB irresponsibly locking most of their money into 10-year mortgage-backed securities a couple of years ago when interest rates were historically low, plus the affected startups irresponsibly locking most of their cash into a single bank that took such irresponsible actions, without that one bank being systemically too-big-to-fail from a nationwide policy perspective.

Expecting the government to keep interest rates historically low for another decade or else to bail the bank out is an unreasonable expectation on the part of SVB and the ecosystem that over-relied on it, not the fault of the government.
VCs have plenty of billions let's have them do the bail-out this time around.
A lot of people find Siri (and other AI assistants) helpful, and use it every day. Some would even say Siri is good enough for the limited set of tasks it currently performs. ChatGPT is like Siri on steroids - it's much better in every way, with the important caveat that it - rarely - can provide a wrong/bad answer. If Siri is level 2 autonomous driving, then ChatGPT is full level 3. People hope that GPT-4 will be equivalent to level 4 driving, but I don't think anyone has promised that. Most of the hype I hear today is about what ChatGPT can already do (more or less). I actually think most people haven't even caught up with what it can do today.
That would have resulted in just as much of a flight, to higher yield instead of safety.
The latest studies have proven the causative link. It’s not just correlation anymore.
Indeed. The situation was caused by a combination of the reckless investing that SVB did, the FED failing to raise interest rates earlier, and irresponsible amounts of government spending.
From my experience with education - probably doing the work themselves, often by working way longer hours than any person should.

Teachers tend to work very long hours because of having to grade work, write these kinds of reports, etc, all in their "non-teaching" time.
Make the thesis "some parts of human thinking works like an LLM" and you would see way less resistance. Making extreme statements like "humans are no different from LLM" will just hurt discussion since it is very clearly not true. Humans can drive cars, balance on a tight rope etc, so it is very clear that humans have systems that an LLM lacks.

The objection people would come with then is something like "but we could add those other systems to an LLM, it is no different from a human!". But then the thesis would be "humans are no different from an LLM connected to a whole bunch of other systems", which is no different from saying "some parts of human thinking works like an LLM" as I suggested above.

Yes full reserve banking is only for people with excess capital. And the number of those is small in comparison.

Must people don't want it can't have their money tied up the full length of the loanWhich then shrinks who actually lends.

This creates wealth inequality by only allowing allowing the biggest guys too lend and access capital.

Small businesses can't get off the ground because they need a loan to buy a machine that helps automation is a classic example.
They wouldn't be bailing out the bank here.. at least not in any normal sense of the word. People who owned the bank (equity holders) are going to be zeroed out, people who lent money to the bank (creditors) are going to be nuked too. The people being bailed out are individuals and companies who had deposits with them.

If the government can make all of the depositors whole, take the associated amount of capital off their balance sheet and hold onto it until it matures, thus costing the taxpayers $0, that seems mostly okay to me? There's the opportunity cost of money blah blah but total increase to the deficit would be $0 and all of these companies would be able to continue operating.

What's the point of a Federal gov / lender of last resort if they can't keep depositors in solvent banks whole?
Agreed. Given that this seems like primarily a timing issue (i.e. SIVB being forced to liquidate bonds at a loss because their tech-heavy depositor base needed their cash), I'd think that a better capitalized and more broadly diversified bank (i.e. not just tech or crypto depositors) would be salivating at the chance to buy these assets up on the cheap.
Why bail out what are essentially high risk ventures? Seems like the money would be much better spent with the aforementioned loan forgiveness to people who are actually hurting rather than 20-something YC founders who will easily land on their feet.
I get the appeal, but this is a super dangerous precedent. If we ignore the law and allow juries to convict or acquit based on their personal preferences, what safety do you have when the public hates you but you've broken no law?
> Finally, you throw in the towel and cobble together some rough phrases.

So it comes up with the most appalling mixed metaphor!
So where does the lost money come from? Another bank just gives it up?
I’m no farmer but wouldn’t putting a whole bunch of stuff in a field make it difficult to drive a tractor through it? Like have you seen the size of modern tractors? These panels will need to be 20ft in the air with support posts really far apart to accommodate seed drills and sprayers and other equipment that the tractor pulls behind it.
It's never made sense for copyright violations to be a criminal offense.
YC isn’t the only set of companies that used Svb, they’re probably representative of the distribution of startups that need banking
