In the last few years, build-your-own storage got annoying. Most server disks were SATA, mostly the same form factor and SATA ports are available in abundance. You could get various more complex SFF-xyzw connectors, but the adapters were straightforwardly available.

Now there’s NVMe and there are quite a few form factors. And NVMe is generally a point-to-point link to the CPU, so you either need a motherboard with the right number and types of connectors or you need a PCIe/NVMe splitter or switch. And the latter don’t seem widely available on the non-sketchy-hardware market.

So the situation is fine for system integrators who make their own PCBs, but not amazing for DIY builders.
The thing is, it isn't "people" arguing that -- to an extent that would suffice influence policy, in any case. By itself, this belief contingent (and its effect on public policy) would be quite marginal.

At the end of the day, it's lobbyists, PACs and think tanks connected to specific business interests who are able to work the system, and get these marginal political beliefs converted into legislation (and court appointments).

That's how the term "regulatory capture" applies.

I’m not trying to disparage or minimize startups. Merely pointing out that this bank’s business model does not represent the greater economy. I’m not putting down the banks customers saying that they are cash intensive risky businesses. That is the nature of a startup.

Also, 1B valuation in an asset bubble doesn’t really mean much with rosy assumptions on price to earnings ratios that is unproven. Unless that 1B company translates to public through an IPO that 1B valuation can be 10000B it really doesn’t yield any concrete value. Pre-market due diligence is a dark art and venture capital is operating on perverse incentives to value things. If you take out a large loan on your holdings in a 1B private asset light intellectual property light cash burning business then that person issuing the loan is irresponsible. Same thing with housing inflation, pointing to comps and estimated growth since that sale leads to inflated valuations. Except there aren’t many comps in a startup space and banks and credit unions are smarter at not giving out more money than they can collect back through a sale in the range of 300k-1M.

Sounds like there was too much deposits and the demand for returns made the bank choose a time risky purchase if interest rates rise. Then they did over a year. Then cash hungry customers made a run after rumors.

What does that mean for JPM and Wells Fargo and Blue Cross and Humana and GMC and Maersk? Not much because (I really hope) they’re not hedging their accounting in shares of a high risk VC regional bank.

Businesses need to adapt to higher interest rates and that alone is going to take the wind out of the sales of some speculative business models. The bank was underperforming on returns from their accounts so they chose an irresponsible bet.

In the US we need to collectively get of the cheap debt sugar rush and check the assumptions in what is viable growth and valuation. But that doesn’t mean the sky is falling because an AI healthcare startup cannot raise their next funding round.

The major banks should be good because they’re stress testing. The cheap money and every new company getting the cash to scale as has been the case for 10-15 years is likely behind us.

Eventually at least. Ram loses its contents slowly, and temperature influences the rate it happens at, hence cold boot attacks where you can super-chill ram with some compressed air, move it out of a secured machine and into one you control, and extract in memory secrets.
Thanks, I'm still not convinced something that happens in ~5% of cases is the exception to get rid of the rules, but that adds some context and perspective.

It's interesting you had problems with the AX200 chip, I bought one for my X13 specifically because it has good kernel drivers.

On Ubuntu, there's a "hardware enablement kernel" package, linux-generic-hwe-22.04, that's just the kernel from the latest Ubuntu back-ported to the LTS version. I find it tends to fix most issues with newer hardware. Maybe PopOS has something similar?

Anyways, I found the MIMO in wifi 6 was better enough that I even upgraded another old laptop I have with an AX210 I found for $14.
No, you’re fundamentally misunderstanding that a bank needs to be able to pay people when they withdraw their money. You can’t sell a bond that will be worth $5 in 30 years to get $5 in cash now when people can buy them from the fed for $3.

This has nothing to do with America, this is you not understanding duration risk.

This problem is not new. In 2019, Huawei introduced a special image processing feature in its smartphone camera app, the "Moon Mode" (opt-in). Missing details are added to the moon photos via machine learning inference from a pre-trained model. Huawei then started marketing these processed images as a showcase of its new smartphone's photography performance. In China, it was widely criticized by tech reviewers [1][2] as misleading, and "Moon Mode" became a running gag among tech enthusiasts for a while.

It seems that Samsung simply adopted the same tactic to compete...

On the Huawei "Moon Mode" controversy, one can even find a research paper [3] published in a peer-reviewed social studies (!) journal, Media, Culture & Society:

> This is where the controversy began: Chinese tech critic Wang’s (2019) posting on Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter, made quite a splash. In his post, Wang put forward a shocking argument: he said that Huawei’s Moon Mode actually photoshops moon images. He contended that, based on his self-conducted experiments, the system ‘paints in pre-existing imagery’ onto photographed takes, re-constructing details that are not captured in the original shots. Huawei immediately refuted these claims, stressing that the Moon Mode system ‘operates on the same principle as other Master AI modes that recognize and optimize details within an image to help individuals take better photo'

Unfortunately, we can’t do that. Not everyone on the team is white, but enough are that if we complained about the new manager it would most likely come off as racism. Better to find a new job first and then let HR know of our concerns in the exit interview.
Unless the 10 year job gives fulfillment. Eg. I currently feel extremely happy/lucky to get paid for similar work as what I’d do as a hobby. It’s energizing. Plus the company is very nice.
Random, unsourced, singular examples do not an argument make. Try again.

Btw how invested are you in crypto? Valid question, y'know, enumerating biases.
Setting aside whether or not the due diligence is to be expected, early-stage startups are in no position to do it, so they listen to their VCs.
I do this, I think we are all just bad writers, who developed a style from reading and writing on internet message boards for years.
Medium is what, 12 ounces? Yeah I could see that. You're mostly paying for cup.

But I think you/he should look around. If you're not a fast food restaurant coffee costs a bit more than that these days, and charging 'a bit less' craters your profit margins.
I intensely agree, one thousand percent.

In the article's case, it says the shaft is sealed between the ground and the 39th floor, and the lift stopped at around floor 13-14, so even if he got to the roof of the elevator, he'd still be in the bottom of a 25 floor tall hole...
>Conservative risk management strategies like "only bank with BofA and JPMorgan"?

Or: diversify bank relationships, diversify asset classes/types, buy private insurance, etc. Deposit risk is not exactly a novelty.

> Ackman isn't wrong that the practical result of bank runs is that all accounts beyond the FDIC limit will suddenly migrate to one of two or three major "too big to fail" banks.

He might be right that immediate reactionary adjustments will rush these risk-blind deposits into big institutions, but FDIC insurance and bailout-able banks aren't the only ways to keep a liquid portfolio largely secure and money will inevitably spread out more prudently once the dust settles.

He just wants a bailout for SVB depositors because he calculated a bailout into his own risk strategy and is now developing that strategy through its next phase by whipping up the political pressure that could make it happen. It's a game.

Can you elaborate? Nothing about this situation is at all related to insider trading.
I agree we can't be friends because you would sacrifice your friends and family for a cause. You do not understand your basic moral obligations as a human, that a world better off by sacrificing those who need you or even yourself is a world built by unneccesary sacrifice. You would introduce more suffering into the world when you have tools like democracy and free speech that were paid for by ages of suffering and anguish that have made that unnecesary. You will cause yourself and others to suffer all while not solving the actual problem or making the world better one iota. You would alienate anyone that you need to convince to make change happen so you can feel morally superior.

You do not understand that the many rights and betternments you enjoy now was built by people working at places they did not approve of, using their position and power to make change happen.

You do not undersrand your contribution into the social divide today that is making the world much worse in every way you can imagine. Not just I but many others are also not your friends and cannot even begin to have discourse with you to have our opinions changed because you have erected barriers of moral outrage and socio-economical activism that forces others to be with or against you. It could be adverising, fossil fuels, finance, insurance, military and this is just for employement we are talking about lol.

A house divided is what you have contributed. Witness the not standing part.

I really enjoyed this comment about a month ago or so from "Why the conventional wisdom on how to grow muscles is wrong,"[1] so much so that I favorited it.

"I have lifted for 30 years.
The standard bullshit line in the fitness industry has always been "everyone else is wrong". Practically what every single trainer ever in the world has said.
The reason is because of all the things I have done in my life, lifting is the most trivially simple activity there is. It is as complex as shoveling dirt. The only way to differentiate if trying to make money is to bullshit. Pick the weights up, put them down, eat food. It just not that complicated."[2]

Maybe a dumb question, but why not buy short term treasuries instead of putting it in the bank? Any amount of money in treasuries has a strong implicit guarantee from Uncle Sam.

This so much. Running scripts in Octave and being able to inspect every variable makes debugging so much easier when you are new at programming. Especially with the GUI and variable explorer.
Those phrases suffer heavily from intense adjectivism and raging adverbialitis.
Note however that (due to Intel's complacence, AMD's inability to compete in the construction vehicle series of chips era, crossing several good-enough performance lines, upgradability and the general slowing of Moore's law at least for CPUs) using a 2012 CPU in 2022 is far more viable than using a 2002 CPU in 2012.

In 2022 a Sandy Bridge (2012) computer is still a viable computer and viable for the foreseeable future. In 2012, a late Pentium III/early Pentium 4 was not yet an antique but already severely outdated.

You don't need AI for taking better photos, for most people the phone just automatically taking a burst/video and picking a frame out for the still or stacking frames would be plenty. Lots of photos suck because of shit lighting. A camera intelligently stacking frames would fix a lot of people's photos.
Thankfully my GPU programming is shadet related, thus I don't have to deal with all the compute issues, however a good decision of CUDA from early on was to have PTX.

GPGPU needs more languages that make it easier to do compute with feeling like doing Assembly.

Basically the productivity that can be understood by reading stuff about StarLisp and the connection machine.

Julia seems a nice addition to this idea.
I don't think including "coins" that have lost value tilts the balance against crypto.

The vast majority of traditional currencies have lost nearly all of their value over time, including the US dollar.
That's a good plan, but it's not very liquid. You can put a HELOC on each property, so you have access to cash.
Guns have only one purpose: physical combat. Either commit it, or, hopefully, prevent it.

Blades and encryption main purposes are not physical combat. Blades are mostly use for cutting material we use in our daily life, encryption is mainly use to hide communications.

A small-medium DC can be a lot of work to install, specifically in terms of backup power/cooling, but not much to maintain on a daily basis.

Occasionally you need to replace expired components, and install new systems, but that's about it. There will be weeklong periods where no action is required.

Finding qualified staff is definitely hard. Especially nowadays, there are a lot of DevOps astronauts that have never swapped a bad DIMM.

Once your operation is stable and you know (almost) exactly what you need then sticking to the Cloud makes less and less sense. The premium they charge is enormous.

Not sure why e.g. Netflix doesn't exit AWS considering their needs flatlined. Or maybe they have some special agreement with much lower prices than market.
That was my thought too, but where do you custody them where you're guaranteed to be able to take possession of them if the custodian goes under?

At least on the East coast it's about the same as EE vs West Coast. If you're a night owl on one end or an early bird on the other you can make it work.
Er... maybe I'm missing something but I need to see more evidence. I searched for these adverbs on several major newspapers' websites: sure, there might be one or two newly fashionable phrases, but this usage pattern isn't new. Unless I'm missing something, I think the author is pointing out a pretty normal thing that most people don't notice and attributing it to something that let's people feel smug. That's a great way to generate hype around your blog, though.

Elizabeth Warren Was Right: New Law Is Already Making Banks Bigger (2019)
...by total assets.

Total assets is not necessarily a good proxy for systemic importance. What matters for systemic risk is to what extent a bank is interconnected with other financial institutions (e.g., which may depend on it to remain ongoing businesses). For example, if a bank has a large book of derivatives with many counterparties that is recorded in the balance sheet as a net asset with a tiny carrying value, its total assets would be a poor proxy for systemic importance.

Also, keep in mind this list shows only banks, i.e., businesses offering traditional commercial loans and bank accounts insured by the FDIC. Other kinds of financial businesses, like, say, Lehman Brothers ($0.6T in assets when it filed for bankruptcy in 2008), are not shown on this list.

A point to emphasize on my other comment:

Valuation is not remotely related to GDP until there is an IPO.

Startup valuation on pre-profit businesses is dominated by the greater credit and bonds performance. Hopefully the impact radius of the inflated valuation coming back down to realistic levels is contained to private capital and not the whole country’s 401Ks.

Oh they let us know in advance. Anyway, being paid early isn't really a problem. If you're planning when outgoings should happen then you just need to plan on the contractual day, not assume that it will get there earlier. I think most larger companies usually pay on that same day but modulo weekends, so the last Thursday of the month or similar.

Who is this quote about voice rec from?
A loan only increases the money supply if it's made without replacing the deposits that were loaned out. The financial intermediation theory is that that doesn't happen: a bank is just a place where money flows come together to find allocations to investments, and that the benefit is that the size mismatches between those in surplus and those who need to borrow can be reconciled, so banks that do this skillfully are economically valuable and make profits.

This is not, prima facie a bad theory, right? Go take a look at JP Morgan's balance sheet. The asset and liability sides of the sheet are basically loans and investments (on the asset side) plus deposits and outstanding debt (on the liability side), and these balance.
It sounds like it would be worth consulting a professional about what to do, honestly.
