I don't think that'd be accurate - YC is exiting the business of late-stage investing, and that's the main news. It sounds like they had 17 people who were working on that part of the company who they laid off as part of this transition, but given the major role that YC Continuity played, it's significant news that they're no longer doing that.

I wouldn't try to over complicate things. A 5KW DC solar controller does not need to be included in every product. The system could allow for DC power input in a manner controlled by software that could offset power delivery from the AC stage.

Individual panel optimizers can already tune output voltage and current, it is just a matter of telling them what you want. If you are really clever you can set operational parameters to cap power consumption based on available solar power, but that's all for later.

Insightful writing but that man needs an editor in a bad way.
Before we have this conversation, let's first agree on one thing. Let's all agree on the fact that health care is not actually exorbitantly expensive. That "health care costs" are not what's out of control in the US, what are out of control are health care PRICES. And that those prices lost virtually all relationship to the cost of providing services DECADES ago.

Americans already use fewer health services than most other industrialized countries, but we still spend way more than anybody else. Will using fewer health services at end of life make a serious dent in health expenditures? Maybe temporarily, but rest assured the hospitals, big pharma, insurance companies and others will raise prices until all those savings are eaten away, and more.

Make no mistake, I am totally for end of life planning, but I believe it is a completely separate question entirely.
Even just excising the godawful "impacted" is a massive improvement.
FWIW, if this were my startup, I would probably use 10BASE-T1L. The programming model is simple, and cloud or other “smart” integration is natural if the system already uses IP. For that matter, one ought to be able to support wired 10BASE-T1L and wireless Matter/Thread thermostats without much duplicate effort.

The bank was nearly fully capitalized with low risk investments. Everyone would have gotten their money back anyways, it would have just taken 5-10 years.

Imagine what would happen if startups could not access their capital? By the time funds were available for withdrawal, the businesses would be dead. The regulators then have to track every funder to every dollar to return money. It would take a decade for this to happen.
The other good news is that it will probably net out to costing little to nothing in the long term as they had enough assets to cover liabilities -- it was a liquidity crunch. Seems very much relevant to what the FDIC was created for -- to make depositors whole and stop contagion. It would be different if the bank was not properly asset backed.

The government intervention was the right move.

The point is how fascinating it was to see several otherwise loud Uber-libertarian SV VCs suddenly, and once again loudly, discover socialism and the necessity of government intervention when their own money was at risk.

If their response to this is that, maybe there is a balance to be struck and there is an important role for government regulation, in certain cases, fair enough. And maybe the fact that people they know, who did nothing wrong still suffered, and needed the government to step in to help them, might indicate that there are substantially poorer people who may also be in a bad shape either due to no fault of their own, or due to minor misjudgments becoming magnified due to circumstances who could also do with help from the govt, such as, maybe, the homeless.

But I’m not optimistic that will be the case.

I'm so confused because if I understand correctly the employees of the company were not given board positions or any sort of ownership over the means of production, which would be socialism. We live in a capitalist economic system, and using the tools that capitalism provides the government stepped in using capitalist tools to fix the problem. This isn't socialism, this is capitalism protecting itself from failing.

> a fund that was acting responsibly

You have to consider how these actions will affect the future relationships between banks and both the specific actors but also the startup scene in general. Startups already had a difficult time with traditional banking which is a large factor in why SVB was so successful, because it catered to the market specifically. What bank is now going to look at a startup not be thinking "Do we really want to take on a group of people who will collectively launch a bankrun at the slightest sign of trouble, even if we are geared to handle a bank run?", A run on the bank is never good news, even if the bank stays liquid, and it has a ton of knock-on effects and causes a huge number of headaches for the bank.

In this situation, where you think there might be a bank run and you have a coordinating role with a large number of customers. I think the responsible thing to do would have been to reach out to the bank and talk through all the options that will let everyone stay whole without a bankrun, not to fire up a group chat and scream "The bank is burning to the ground!".
It seemed very likely that without the panic SVB could have secured liquidity and then the long term investments would not have posed a risk. I'm not saying their position was optimal or even good, but the panic just does not look to be the best option for the customers nor the most responsible action for those who had major pull in the market.
Not a single one of them will be poor. Ever.

> "No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by the taxpayer"

Technically, this is of course correct. If there are $100 of deposits backed by $100 of bonds which will mature in 5 years, the treasury can of course satisfy all withdrawal demands on that $100 because it has infinite money, and the treasury will with 99% certainty get back all $100 because these are AAA bonds which will almost never default.

Unless they do.

But regardless, even if they DON'T default, the treasury will be made full and the taxpayer will bear no cost, technically.

But this par $100 bond is actually worth $87 today, so the treasury could have actually bought it up on the open markets instead for $87 and pocketed the $13 difference as profit for the taxpayer. That that are foregoing this possible profit is omitted in the quote above... I'm not saying they should do this, I just think that the fed is being a bit abusive with terms here.

In any case, buying up distressed assets to provide liquidity is just Quantitative Easing. Which we all know doesn't have any weird secondary or tertiary effects, right?
Very nice, thanks for linking this. As an excited ChatGPT + ChatGPT API user who blew through $50 on Colab in about a day playing with the LLaMA 7B model, I had heard of Anthropic but didn't realize it was so easy to sign up and play with something based on those's models.

Having seen the new South Park ChatGPT episode last night (ChatGPT, dude!) I had Claude write a love letter to someone in their native tongue and it does have a nice realistic quality that ChatGPT can exhibit but usually with a lot of fiddling.

I hope they release an API! I guess Anthropic might but this is overall a super refined chatbot.

I think where the difference comes in with vinyl is the mastering process. CD's/Digital and Vinyl usually go through two entirely different mastering processes. This will make listening to the two sound different even though the mix is the same, kind of like listening to your favorite song at home from CD, then hearing it on the radio with a more in your face sound because of brick wall limiters in the sound chain.

I am not going to debate if one is better than the other, but they will sound different just due to mastering. So it is not a direct apples to apples comparison.

I think most people buy video game vinyl just to display them, haha.

Not privy to special information w.r.t. this change, but I can think of a few:

1. Breaking focus / competing on multiple fronts. Lots of firms specialize in A-stage or later. By investing in seed and later rather than just seed, the later stage firms see you as a "competitor" for, rather than a "supplier" of, early stage startups. You have that many more competitive relationships rather than cooperative ones.

2. LP fundraising. LPs have to make choices as to who to fund, especially in this economy. Later stage vetting, returns, etc are different than early stage. May not be worth the heavy lift of competing for LPs.

3. Specialization. Once you get into later stages, you get firms that specialize by industry vertical. Not just business (marketplace, fintech, hardware) but even within software (SaaS, dev tools, consumer, enterprise, etc). Might make it harder to make deals. You now have a multi-front problem where each potential counter-bidder for the deal lead has hyper specialization to the startup, whereas YC is a generalist by nature.

4. Competition for deal terms. Most of the time, the deal lead sets the terms. If you can't aggressively bid to lead deals, they may not get the best economy for each of the deals since the lead may have other priorities. This may produce less optimal returns vs just putting more money into seed.

5. Partner / investor preference. VCs compete for partners / investors. If partners in the late stage at YC are limited to only YC companies vs the whole late-stage market (or have other limitations), it may not work for them vs going to a firm with less terms.

Ultimately as a generalist investor, pre-seed/seed/A-and-later are very different markets. With interest rates this high and everyone being more picky, it becomes harder to outperform unless you can operate in that market independently. I suspect YC looked at a model for their returns and came to this conclusion.

So, again, is it your position that the results we see from Medicare - where the payer is the government itself, and the provider side is operating under extremely tight rules dictated by the government, can be considered representative of how things might play out in a free market?

You haven't come out and said so, so I apologize if I'm putting words in your mouth. But it seems like you're arguing toward a position: because we can see that government control of the market has resulted in the mess that we call Medicare, we should therefore stomp out any further vestiges of the market and put the government in control of that as well. This doesn't seem like a sane position.

While your point about "single digit percentage[s]" is accurate, it's not helpful when discussing the merits of this product, or the wider industry as a whole in most of western world.
I think you are missing some context around this story. Banking can be a confusing topic.

What that employee is referring to, and it is a great employee quote, is the fact that SVB's unexpected announcement that it was selling HTM securities at a loss and publicly raising equity is the singular event that really triggered the whole crisis. The CEO's poorly calibrated communication and lack of action in the midst of a run on his bank had sealed the bank's fate by Thursday afternoon.

The point this employee is making is that instead of this kind of "Boy Scout" transparency about its efforts to shore up its balance sheet (which only served to cause panic), the CEO should have quickly and privately closed a deal to raise capital only announced the deal after it was done. I don't know if doing a deal with a Middle Eastern Sovereign Wealth Fund would have helped avoid an accidental panic. But they could have very easily sold SVB to a larger bank before the CEO's own-goal of causing a run on his bank by announcing forced selling of bonds at a loss and a public capital raise. Once the bank run had begun, it was impossible for a buyer to step in.

I believe that it must have been greed and overconfidence at the core of their problems. They didn't want to hedge their IR exposures, didn't want the expense of raising capital quietly, didn't want the expense of diversifying their funding sources away from volatile depositors, etc.
That is not what the word "taxpayers" means. Let's say that somehow the Fed managed to do what they are doing now not by sourcing their funds from banks, but from the top 10 billionaires in this country. Since these 10 guys are also taxpayers, would you decry this as a "taxpayer funded bailout"?

All of Y Combinator startups try follow the same playbook: successfull exit, or successful IPO. YCombinator benefits from both.

Since most YCombinator startups never see any profit, late stage investment becomes a risky proposition since even "top YCombinator startups" lose billions of dollars a year, for years, with no path to profitability or recouping investments.
