> Where is europe's microsoft? Their apple? Their facebook? Their google? There is no "the West". No more than there is "the East".

One place to start looking would be their local Apple, Meta and Google offices.

This is true, in a sense. Big tech giants are headquartered in the USA because the USA made a bunch of choices that make it easy to start a tech company there. But as they grow, they become multinational giants. There is a *ton* of FAANG revenue moving into and through Europe in all directions. Europe is just fine.

I mean, this is like asking why California fell so far behind Delaware in startup valuation. It's true, but not meaningful.

How can we confidently state we know ChatGPT doesn't use neurological mechanisms, when we don't yet completely understand our own neurological mechanisms, nor emergent mechanisms that may be at work within ChatGPT?

At the same time, we can already comprehensively model some biological neurological systems in their entirety, in silicon. This will continue and the human mind will not be immune to such progress, making the question important.

I see it as a question that cuts to the core of the matter - long-standing, unanswered philosophical questions:

What does it mean to "perceive"? Can a machine be conscious? Are our biological processes meaningfully differentiable from equivalents when mimmicked by a machine? Are our "perceptions" special? Or not?

Putting the point another way:

We can't be objective about "perception" from within the constraints of perception.

While we routinely "imagine" an objective reality that exists beyond our perception, that we believe our perceptions reveal, there is no way to conclusively prove that's actually happening. Possibly, ever.

(As for the side note: I genuinely interpreted it that way, hence the word "seem", I didn't think about whether or not you'd missed it. I too assumed a conversation precisely unlike reddit... my default assumption here.)
>A lot of formats can be converted locally.

And a lot of people (even technical ones) don't have the tools installed, the budget to buy them, or the inclination to spend time/money on a local solution when they can do it "free" in seconds elsehow

To use a silly example, I can install an image converter that will go from TIFF to PNG - but which one? Why that one? What about all the alternatives? Is it in policy for my work machine? Is it a risk to my personal machine? Why go through all that effort when I can go to super-super-image-converter-online.tld and be done in 10 seconds?
Not the top-poster, but I'm also looking for basically the best OLED laptop for Linux, and I think I'm going to get the ASUS Zenbook 14X (UX3404).
>wage gains were beating inflation

Nitpick: the real value of wages paid has been declining since 2020. Individual real wages increased because of workforce composition effects, but you can't run an economy on workforce composition effects.

Idle power consumption is good, but sadly as soon as you get into near-idle/light usage (eg, listening to Spotify in the background, or even running a bash script echoing to your terminal, the power jumps a lot (I place the blame mainly on Intel 12th Gen). In my experience, despite also having extremely long idle battery life, for regular web browsing, watching YouTube, light typing tasks, my 12th-gen Framework tends to get about 5h of battery life (I tested a number of scenarios including seeing how little load was required to reduce battery life here for those that are interested: https://github.com/lhl/linuxlaptops/wiki/2022-Framework-Lapt...)

On Notebookcheck's standardized WiFi v1.3 test, the Framework gets 447 minutes while an 8C MBA M2 gets 910 minutes (just over double).

On my most recent trip, I ended up throwing the towel and getting an MBA M2 since my Framework's battery life really wasn't cutting it and for my use cases, MBA gets over double the runtime, making it a lot more suitable for all-day travel days/transcontinental flights, media offloads, etc.
I have weirdly mixed feelings on your comment.

- I agree that parents who publicize their children on social media are massive creep in my opinion, who do a massive invasion of the child privacy. That should almost be illegal in my opinion since the child can't consent.

- At the same time saying that no skin should ever be shown ever because "it titills sexual creeps" is a dark road that points in a direction which in some places ends up at covering the faces of women for the exact same reason. Should we forbid children to go to the pool because sexual creeps might go there ?

On the other hand in many places of Northern europe nudity is more common even in public. That works because they don't culturally associate as much nudity with sex as americans or other parts of the world do.. (You'd obviously get beaten up for masturbating in these places especially with children around.). And that doesn't seem like so bad a thing to me
2 days of cash flow freeze killed startups? Y’all need to rethink your finances.
Over half of increased prices most people see are not inflation driven though... it's using it as cover to maximize prices, which can have good and bad points. In the end, it's a vicious cycle of a tail wagging the dog, then the dog eats the tail, then there's a bloody mess for everyone else to clean up.
Insurance always has a cap in the payout at some dollar amount, usually directly related to the amount one is willing to pay for the insurance. It's usually up to the insured to balance those two factors to get adequate, but not excessive, insurance for the risks they are exposed to.

Most of the arguments I've seen are effectively arguing that 250K is too low an amount. While that may be true, that was the well-established 'rule of the game'. The FDIC limit was no doubt chosen, as most insured amounts are, to cover the majority of damaged parties, for an acceptable cost.

This isn't grandma or Joe/Jane Public losing their life savings; the FDIC insurance easily covers the vast majority of individuals depositing cash. These are businesses that have, or should have, the financial wherewithal and resources to mitigate their risk beyond the FDIC baseline.

> ... actually break the law.

Ahhh. Kind of thought they had, as it seems like a case of (digital) stalking and harassment, clearly targetting a group of people based upon their LGBTQ status and religious affiliation.
> It’s this viral appeal that’s gotten the company into trouble. Without properly explaining the feature, Samsung has allowed many people to confuse its AI-improved images for a physics-defying optical zoom that cannot fit in a smartphone

I wouldn't say 'caught' or 'in trouble'. They're applying some AI blackbox to their photo tech, and the lack of transparency is annoying people so then people make viral posts like this claiming they 'caught' Samsung (when in reality it reads like an AD for Samsung).
A few weeks back, there was some article about the layoffs, I don't exactly remember what it was but it was like "tech executives do not care about you", basically it was just very critical of the executives for doing layoffs for such poor reasons. It was doing huge numbers, and then suddenly it disappeared from the front page; I looked at the first few pages and didn't see it anywhere. This was the first time I had noticed what I am personally sure was censoring of criticism that was aimed towards SV leadership.
For a more Austrian viewpoint that is very well sourced and quite compelling imo I'd recommend this series of videos:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YygQ0Wq0wDA

It argues quite convincingly that war reparations had almost nothing to do with the hyperinflation and that the seeds were sown way before ww1 and then watered during WW1 when germany essentially became a command economy and finally harvested by the first Weimar government's managment.
Lmao, with that advice coming from a cryptobro CTO, I’m good.

Maybe learn that while you may thrive in the hustle and bustle, others (in fact, I would say, the majority of people) don’t. And that’s fine too. I quite frankly don’t need to emulate you to feel success in my life.
That looks incredibly good for a solo high school project. I mean it looks great period, but you must be a pretty special programmer to have made that solo as a high schooler. props!
Thank you for saving us the time.
Don't use stackful coroutines. Compilers don't understand it and you will sooner or later get miscompilations or bugs, particularly if your code uses thread-local storage (which doesn't take a lot of effort, for example "errno" is a thread-local variable).
This may be unpopular, but I'm not totally convinced that controlling the risk of something like which bank you use is something to be mitigated at early stages. At least not at an individual decision level. For arguments sake...

Whether a silicon valley startup succeeds or fails already takes large influences from a survivorship bias, and they're all basically going to cheat in some way to establish themselves. Whether that's Uber ignoring local taxi laws, Atlassian messing up multiple customer accounts, or some web service you bet your business on that has never tested their backups.

So with a decision like banking say a series A startup with their first $5million is really clever and splits their money evenly between two banks, and one bank fails. That may still be just as crippling to a startup that now needs to distract themselves with fundraising again earlier than expected, that doesn't have a proven track record, and just lost half their money that their investors may still demand a return on.

So the survivorship bias might just be that the startups that chose the other bank, as one less decision to dwell on and distract them, are the ones that survived. Or the startups that were extremely diligent and spent a great deal of time de-risking themselves from bank exposure died... because they spent too much time not getting a product to customers.

So maybe the better question is, at what point should a company to begin to assess banking as a risk to be mitigated.
Is that really any different from other areas of society though? Trains seem simple, but underneath there are layers upon layers of complexity that all need to work correctly for the whole thing to function.

And that's true for pretty much anything, because even though it's kind of brittle and messy and painful to deal with, it's much more efficient than the alternative it replaced, and it's overall stable enough to be useful.
Well, I think the only losers are the bank management (all fired with deferred comp clawed back I’m sure), equity holders, and unsecured bond holders. I’m curious what you think making bank customers eat it will accomplish? They had nothing to do with the whole affair. Letting the bank collapse in a disorderly fashion would tear up wide swaths of the economy. The fed being able to drive us into a recession isn’t worth letting the banks domino us into a recession.
There are timing tools which let you see which plugins are causing that. That happened to me twice with Spacevim and both times it was fixed by removing a single plugin or a single line in the config related to an update to a plugin.
If the Fed blinks we'll have solved absolutely nothing and people will put money back into nonsensical asset classes creating and perpetuating more economic inefficiency. Just look at how crypto is behaving this morning, it's not up because it's a safe haven, it's up because people think the Fed will blink and we'll go back to an age of people spending $100k on a JPEG.

Another route is to work on a prototype and designs in your spare time and set up a Kickstarter to raise funds and gauge interest (and try out game development of course without quitting your day job), but as the others said, you'll probably need a lot more cash than you think you do.
This a small reminder that Schwab has trillions in Assets Under Management. Unlike SVB, they can't skip the regulatory stress test audits like SVB could because they are so large. Unless they are fraudulently presenting false data, I am personally doubtful of that.

So, this is literally the market reacting the news of SVB & SBNY going into receivership and taking a dump in the whole financial sector.
> I'd make a wedding ring out of it, and be able to feel magnetic fields.

What about biohacking? Imagine those little magnets that people like to implant below their fingertips—would a superconductor be especially cool to have there?
Your side note is unwarranted - his statement about agreement was perfectly normal.
Because even a single dollar disappearing from someone's bank account will drastically decrease confidence in the US banking sector. Modern society requires people to trust banks, if everyone tries to pull their funds and hide it under their mattress we are fucked.
Check my comment. I never made any claim. I asked a question. I cant find any sources, but it is a very simple technical question and im surprised that it seems so difficult to answer.
Investors = the people who have ownership of the bank (think stockholers)

Depositors = people who have deposits sitting in the bank.

Though of another way:
If you bought SVB on Robinhood then that stock isn't worth anything anymore. If you have money _in_ SVB then it will be available.
They do have some 366 billion of deposits according to https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SCHW/balance-sheet/ , twice as much as SVB had.
Hah, well here's a thread to latch on to.

I'm pretty sure AllMusic was my source of track lengths for albums. Back in the middle of high school (so just before that redesign maybe?), I had some java utility that (I'm sure I'm imperfectly recalling) I pasted track information into. It then generated the Wikipedia markup equivalent, and I went around editing album pages on Wikipedia adding track lengths (and total album length).

And that's why I have something over 1000 wikipedia edits made a long time ago.
How many banks are in the same boat? How many banks are dependent on these other banks not to be in this boat?

There have been discussions for the last decade that finance institutions have been looking the other way on smaller firm practices as it lets them make more money. If the risks taken are greater than 10 years long, then everyone has gotten paid out by the time there is a problem.

The "Cray" 6400 was really the "Sun Sparcenter 4000".

I dont know if Sun paid Cray to get their name on it, but I'm sure Cray did not pick it up because of the fantastic CPU performance.

The entire sun4d series had the same fundamental issue: When a CPU missed local cache and fetched across the "X-Bus", instead of returning a single word as fast as possible in a 2-cycle packet, the memory board did four sequential memory accesses and sent a 9-cycle packet.

The net effect of this was to turn it into an 8MHz machine, if your program did not fit well in the 1Mbyte CPU-cache.

On the plus side, you could stick amazing numbers of S-bus cards into those boxes, for instance if you needed a lot of disks for statistical seek-time reduction.

We had five SS1000's as file servers, they had 9 differential SCSI controllers each, with each controller servicing three Seagate 2GB "Elite" drives - a whopping total of 270 GB, mirrored and striped with Veritas.
You're looking at the wrong part, the article refers to the title, where the widowed word is "working" on the bottom example
I may be wrong ! The news source was incorrect in that case.
Hah, this technically applies to me, but I don't feel I am taking my own work seriously enough to reach out even though I'm working on it full time. I've saved this post, though, and will reach out if I get to the point of feeling confident enough to say I'm actually an indie game developer.

Here's some info (okay, a lot of info) on what I'm trying to create for anyone curious:

After I had to replace all the plastics and keyboard and battery of my laptop, and each time it was a time consuming let's hope I won't break something moment, I decided my next laptop would either super-repairable or super solid. (ie. no brittle plastics)

M1 being too expensive + Asahi Linux not being ready, I went for the Framework.
Even though the M1 seems like a wonder machine, I would have had to choose the cheapest options with no possible upgrade ever and be satisfied with it. I'd rather spend my money on a company that shares my concerns. Fuck luxury.

So I guess I am the audience ? I paid more than what I was willing to spend for it.

And works just great. The screen size is a bit small for my taste but hey it's also more portable now.
>bog standard stuff

That's the question, though: What is "bog standard"?

Apple will tell you bog standard is two USB-C ports.

A tech enthusiast will tell you bog standard is at least 10 mixed USB-A and -C ports, at least three DisplayPorts, at least one ethernet jack, and a headphone jack.

Jane Average over there will tell you bog standard is a power button.

A DIYer will tell you bog standard is GPIO and serial.

USB-IF will tell you bog standard is USB4.11 For Workgroups Revision 5 Type D 50gbps 2x4.
Thanks!

It does only change the colors. The top navbar lost its background color. Maybe that's the difference? I'll work on adding that back in.
My 2 cents:

Banks are required by Bale III rules to guarantee the money they lend with a proportional amount in proper assets. Those assets are mostly US treasury bonds (for US banks; EU bonds for EU banks, etc). Treasury bonds from the past few years come with very low interest rates or even zero, or negative ones.

As the Fed's rates (and other central bank's rates) have been climbing rapidly in the past few months, new bonds come with quite hefty interest rates. Therefore old bonds with near-zero rates cratered on the second-hand market. And who owns tens of thousands of billion dollars in these bonds? The banks...

So each and every bank will try to realise its bonds to pay back the deposits that people hit by SVB's failure are trying to get their hands on, will see its actual value crater, with the compounding effect that an even larger amount of free-falling bonds will flush the second-hand market...

So the whole bond market may crater, and all the banks with it, and the whole financial system. Every central banker around the world is currently sweating out a way out of it, if there's any (maybe the cat is out of the bag already). Have a good day :)
SVB didn’t buy T-bills though, they would be fine if they did. They bought 10-year bonds that dropped 20-25% in value since 2021 so yeah pretty speculative.
I'm doing 10 day jams every 6 months or so.
Samsung is cheesey and misleading for doing this, but it is also strangely clever.
The QR code bit interested me, but the issue he describes has been fixed, you can test it by scanning the QR code on this image:

https://yeokhengmeng.com/2021/09/review-usage-and-repair-of-...

The encoded information goes to a URL shorterner https://fr.mw/[removed_extra_characters] that redirects to a human-readable URL (e.g. guides.frame.work/Guide/Framework+Laptop+DIY+Edition+Quick+Start+Guide/57 ).
fr.mw seems to be owned by Framework so the chance of them independently disappearing should be low. And making it a redirect means if they ever do a restructuring of their website, they can just update where the redirect target of the fr.mw link.
Maybe. What's the conditional probability a bank's name starts with S?
The "speculative" part was that interest rates would stay low.
One problem with this approach is that a lot of times monetization in tiktok or instagram happens through third party sponsors/product placements, rather than directly between the platform and the content creator.
IMHO this is missing one key check: salary range.

I think it's stupid for candidates to get through the interview process just to discover after many wasted hours that the salary range of the position is incompatible with their expectations
Any pause will mean a big rally in risk assets. VCs get their exit liquidity.

The middle class eats the entrenched inflation.
It was not our experience.

Tech support was always friendly, polite and apologetic, but could not provide help.

The attack was way beyond their level of skill and they insisted in providing instructions that were completely helpless, all manual actions to fight a full scale extremely vicious automated attack (change password, delete instances, disable regions, delete roles, etc).

AWS security got it done in one hour, but it took months to get to them.
I assumed this was just a scam being pushed by dish soap companies in their commercials. I didn't think anyone actually ran mostly empty dish washers.

Dish soap and water are not free, even if you consider them cheap. I usually run my full dish washer once or twice a week. A regular container of dish washer pods has a little more than 60 pods and cost $20. Ignoring the water cost and assuming I always wash it twice a week I'm spending at most $40 dollars per year on dish washing pods, usually less.

If I follow your advice to the letter I'm running the machine three times a day, everyday so I'm spending $30 a month or $360 a year. Even once a day it's still $120. And ignoring the water cost.

All to not have to unload the dish washer when it's clean or spend an extra 15 seconds checking when lazy? Total waste of money.
They aren't trying to invade Russia. They are trying to defend their sovereign country against Russian aggression. Russia is showing the world how incompetent their military is at the same time Ukraine is successfully defending their homeland. Putin is a pathetic joke. He can't even keep the mercenaries from disparaging his weak military.

Ukraine will never be "at the gates of Moscow" because they aren't trying to invade Russia.
There a bubble bursting right now as people are realizing that the "not yet made it" startups that got founded doing the age of cheap money is probably not going to make it into profitable enterprises in the current climate of increasing inflation and the resulting reduction in spending by almost all types of consumers.

This mean that just about any financial organization dependent on the success of the American startup sector for profits is at risk.
Umm, yes I do. I read the joint press release which stated exactly that.
> the US government should do whatever they have to do to make that risk zero

Errm ... there are an awful lot of people who will never, ever, in their entire lives, have anywhere close to $250,000 on deposit at one bank.

Q: Why should all those people backstop your investment?

Given that, is it perhaps possible that you should take responsibility for your investments which exceeed $250k?
Indeed it was a 14X! I bought the M5402 last night which I believe is a little beefier. It's on sale right now in Canada for CAD$999:

If that was the case, you would see similar drop into JP Morgan Chase as well. However it is very different. Charles Schwab has dropped exceptionally.
Find “easy money” and you’ll find inflation. It’s really not rocket science.

Houses never lose value, let’s give those loans out to everyone - housing bubble. Heck, housing inflation goes back to the GI Bill.

Everyone should go to college - let’s give kids hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend at an institution of their naive choosing! Student loan “crisis”.

If I’m charging $1 for something and I know you have $5 to spend on it, the price is now $5.
