> The best-known algorithms for NP-complete problems are essentially searching for a solution from all possible answers. The traveling salesman problem on a graph of a few hundred points would take years to run on a supercomputer.

This shortcut in explaining NP-completeness is frustratingly widespread. It is also very wrong. A 49-city TSP was solved (to provable optimality) by hand by 1954 [1]. Concorde [2] can solve TSP instances with more than a hundred thousand cities [3]. In practice, for a graph with a few hundred points, you will most likely find an optimal tour in minutes on an iPhone (yes, there is an app for that [4]).

And it's not just about TSP. SATs [5] and MIPs [6] with hundreds of thousands of variables are solved every day to provable optimality. How? Well, sure, the best-known algorithms for NP-complete problems are of course exponential in the worst-case. But they are definitely not "essentially searching for a solution from all possible answers", that would indeed be prohibitively costly. We have algorithms that perform much better on practical instances (dynamic programming, backtracking, branch-and-bound, etc.).

UPenn's CIS341[1] is pretty nice. It uses a bottom-up approach, where assignments start with a 64-bit integer-only x64 simulator, then goes up to compiling LLVM IR to x64, then compiling the lecturer's language ('Oat') into LLVM IR, and then optimisations like dead code elimination, register allocation, variable substitution, etc.

Companies making payroll or not is where the general public's skin in the game comes from. We can let them fail by crossing our arms, but this would lead to mass layoffs and financial turmoil as otherwise healthy companies have to shut doors due to this bank's mistakes. This would then also likely lead to a huge bank run, as most other companies realize they have to diversify their accounts and start scrambling to divert money at the same time.

I would also like to add that the vast majority of people losing their money were not betting on a risky asset. They merely had bank accounts with an institution that was mismanaged. We are not bailing out risk-takers like we did in 2008.
You are comparing a managed service running on a server to a locally running app on your computer that somehow malfunctioned?

That's a very apples to oranges comparison. If you want to compare that you'd have to compare it to a service also running on a server like Feedly, Miniflux or any other managed service.
Thank you for the kind words! We met once, and it was interesting to hear why appointments are so broken. I left them with a deep sympathy for their situation.

A good example is that people book multiple appointments and don't show up. Over 15% of appointments are no-show. However they can't ban people or set up any barriers that would disadvantage citizens.

That being said, they're hard to work with, simply due to being too busy to respond. It's frustrating.

But there are some encouraging developments happening. The creator of the booking system was put in a position to change things. We're supposed to meet soon, and I'm excited to see what will come out of it.

Not if you let them do their shenanigans to let the assets be on the balance sheet on "face" value because they are in a "HTM" portfolio and not on the real market value. Many of the other banks are silently insolvent too, just the simple little account trick keeping them afloat.

That's whats need to be changed, not a bail out of which more will follow
Ah that's very possible. It makes sense their main objective was calming the market given other banks failing, committing ahead of time to finding a long term holder to the $90B mortgage security (in addition to the large set of stable depositor assets they held) was probably a much safer bet than the other options, regardless if a buyer fully committed to either asset group.

> Microcode is effectively just a program. Can't you just write the same program in Verilog or whatever? I think the answer is "yes"

No.

FPGAs are basically big fat lookup tables, some clever partitioning logic, and a boolean function. Inputs and outputs are (from the perspective of the "programmer") simultaneous, and if you want to do any state-keeping, it has to be done in response to some transition (such as a clock pin strobing).

State like registers. So you want to implement program registers and make those inputs be address and data lines, decode the instruction, map it to the appropriate internal "registers", then write out the data back to memory (if any), you're talking two transitions (or four if you want to reuse the address/data likes for fetch and load).

The speed/heat/power/price at which you can do that is (for the most part) a function of how big that lookup table is. If you can decode a single instruction in 4 steps instead of 1, you usually should because it means you can strobe 4x faster (or everything else will be cheaper, lower-power, cooler, etc).

Microcoding is a technique to doing this, but it's also a choice because there are limits to how little-power you can get, or how cheap fabricating any amount of silicon is, or even how low-level you can be meaningfully thinking about solving business problems, otherwise we'd all be using massively-parallel SBNZ-computers that float in the air.
Indeed; it felt magical, but was a solution in search of a problem... which was ultimately found in Google Docs having very similar live editing ability.
You're really doing a good job of selling astroVim. I've been using lunarvim for a year and it's been decent but I'm going to give astroVim a try now.

Are there any other vim toolkits that take the astroVim 3.0 approach?
Well, it might be more accurate to say they are taking on risk.

They are getting customers (the deposits owed to those customers is debt), but they will also be getting illiquid assets that should more or less cover the value of those deposits.

They will need to use their own liquid cash in the short term to cover any withdrawals. But in the long term they get to keep some of the customers and they should eventually profit when those illiquid assets mature.

It’s not about hiring top players. It’s about the incentive structure of getting ahead. From all of the leveling guidelines I’ve seen at major tech companies, “coding quality” only comes into play to differentiate an entry level dev to a mid level dev.

> The FDIC insures up to $250k only.

No, they directly insure $250k and repeatedly and consistently demonstrate their ability to recover everything else by repossessing failing banks and selling them to other parties. They don't promise it's all immediately available past $250k, so it may take some time, but for you to expect a haircut you would need an example of someone getting one.

I would prefer this be more explicit policy though.

> That's an irrational thing to do when your money is at risk.

If you know what a bank run is you know this is causing it, so this is bad game theory (as we see since it caused the bank to fail). You should actually pursue a strategy of stopping everyone else from withdrawing. Screaming at all your founders and panicking in group chats is not that.

> Also strange to claim that they don't have a bank anymore...

They ain't got one. SVB no longer exists. If you want a new checking account for a new business you cannot get one from DINB of Santa Clara.

I also have 't' as a shortcut, but 't' creates a randomly named directory in /tmp and jumps into it. 't <name>' creates a directory ~/workspaces/<name>_<datetime> and jumps into it.
'tl' always cd's into the latest directory created using 't'. Really useful if you are messing around with code and serverside stuff.

Knowing hashes alone wouldn't allow you to do this normally - usually you use a "salt" during the hashing process which would lead to different hashes with the same password.

Without doing the OP's "trick" however, if you somehow managed to get a hashed and salted password then it still wouldn't be enough to gain access to someone's account.

I guess what I am really saying between Yellen's carefully worded statement and Summer's hand wringing about 'contagion/extinction/whathaveyou' event and is that this action is very easy to defend on merits despite being very unpopular. I would hate to have to make this decision and I remember being pissed off in 2008 ( while technically being an indirect beneficiary of that policy ).

But even your counter can be addressed. Future risk is something that can be addressed once SVB is stablized and contagion contained. On the other hand, unrest following multiple startup blowup is a lot less predictable.

The question becomes: which risk is worse ( potential risky behavior later vs contagion now ). Immediate risk seems worse to Yellen and her friends. I personally disagree, but I have no power over those decisions so I can relatively easily rely on principle. I wish I could claim I would do differently were I in her shoes.
Random node packages processes truly sounds horrible for both security and performance, but you do want at least one LSP process spawned per filetype, right?
No. I'd say everything the model does is a hallucination.

Some writers tend to split ChatGPT oputput into "correct answers" and "Hallucinated answers". If this is what you are thinking when saying "Is this part of why ChatGPT hallucinates?", then no. The model never knows if what it is saying is correct. It has a probability about how likely the words are to follow eachother, and that is about it.

The temperature changes how these probabilities are calculated, making otherwise less probable words more probable or vice versa.

However, the model doesn't choose the most likely word every time. Instead it rolls a dice to see where it wants to go next. If Cheese is 80% and Cookie is 20% it won't necessarily choose Cheese. It rolls a die, and maybe the outcome lands on the less likely Cookie.

The roll of the dice happen _after_ temperature has affected the calculation of probabilities.

Maybe it is this roll you are thinking of as hallucination?

“Listen,” said Ford, who was still engrossed in the sales brochure, “they make a big thing of the ship's cybernetics. A new generation of Sirius Cybernetics Corporation robots and computers, with the new GPP feature.”

“GPP feature?” said Arthur. “What's that?”

“Oh, it says Genuine People Personalities.”

“Oh,” said Arthur, “sounds ghastly.”

A voice behind them said, “It is.” The voice was low and hopeless and accompanied by a slight clanking sound. They span round and saw an abject steel man standing hunched in the doorway...

“Ghastly,” continued Marvin, “it all is. Absolutely ghastly. Just don't even talk about it. Look at this door,” he said, stepping through it. The irony circuits cut into his voice modulator as he mimicked the style of the sales brochure. “All the doors in this spaceship have a cheerful and sunny disposition. It is their pleasure to open for you, and their satisfaction to close again with the knowledge of a job well done.”

As the door closed behind them it became apparent that it did indeed have a satisfied sigh-like quality to it. “Hummmmmmmyummmmmmm ah!” it said...

It's sleight of hand. I'm guessing the solution is that the money comes from all of us, but just through bank fees, higher interest rates on loans, and lower interest rates on deposits because the banks are paying more to the FDIC, as opposed to the money coming directly from the treasury and thus our taxes.
This was the only rational course of action.

It's slightly disheartening to see so many people on HN willing to invite a wider collapse of the US banking system in order to punish/hurt a group of people they deem to be "elite".

What would be a better alternative? Asking a top 20 bank for their data room whenever I need to deposit something over $250k?

At some point, there needs to be some level of trust with simply putting money in a place and not a single cent disappearing. That should be a reasonable expectation in any functional society.

Anything otherwise would be highly inefficient, creating unnecessary work that produces little to no value.
That's very different: startupers are generally capitalists, they either own the company or have vigorous stock compensation. They don't rent their work to scrape a meager existence, they compound their capital with the expectation of a large payoff and generally have the option of a job.
It is insurance that banks pay for, so yeah that is how it works. The issue is that if FDIC doesn't save this regional bank, all regional banks would probably fail in the next week and there would be 4 banks left that the government refuses to let fail.

The really rough part about HN is the low level of knowledge about how governments and politics work. It's ok to judge these outcomes harshly but many commenters here intermingle their judgements with their mental models that seem to have not evolved beyond what they were taught in secondary school.

It's really quite concerning because some of these people have tremendous power. I suppose the only positive is that a number of titans of Silicon Valley are not savvy enough to challenge increasingly assertive governments.
It's not an energy source, but if worldwide demand for lithium-based batteries goes up exponentially with electrification of transport modes and use for grid storage systems, then the value of lithium will also go up greatly.
I'd be very interested to see some data on these trends. Without numbers it's impossible to say.

I'd be fairly confident in some rough generalisations, but the specifics and magnitude I have no idea on:

- for the last few decades the west has moved bulk value add manufacturing to China, and we've grown their economy/influence accordingly

- China is definitely doing more high tech manufacturing, wafers and EV tech
- basic manufacturing is definitely moving in part to cheaper countries

There isn’t much point in going to A&E - there are no doctors. I amputated my fingertip (halfway up the final joint, with a blunt instrument - crushed the thing off) a week ago and was told to go home and use glue and tape to close the wound, and to throw away the tip. I’ve been dunking it in meths to sterilise and dry it.

They literally did nothing. Contrast to Latvia where I bisected my thumb with an axe and they put it back together about 20 minutes later and charged me €9.

I also have a 8 week old child - zero checkups, no vaccination appointments available, no doctors appointments available. No follow ups for my wife after birth. Oh, and we had to do it all at home, as there is no space in hospital for childbirth - the beds are all full of people who should be in old people’s homes, but there are no spaces in homes for them to move to.

I am ridiculously glad to be back in Portugal as of today, and tomorrow I will take her to the village clinic, where she will finally have a medical inspection.
Ask HN: Won't extra taxes on banks for SVB not just increase the bank runs?
Probably all banks have some problems with fake values on their balances sheets. All the "HTM" parts need to be actually valued at market rate with 60% to 80% of face value.

If you would do that most banks would be insolvent like SVB or very close. Now that the banks should bail out SVB depositors will that not just bring them even closer to insolvency?

> Let's say there was a superconducting material that operated at atmospheric pressure and 25C. While waving the magic wand, let us also pretend it costs $1000/kg.

That depends, because you've under-specified it. Critical magnetic field and critical current density at the very least, probably also fragility on more than one axis.

Let's say it's got "enough" strength and critical magnetic field, and a density of 5 so that's $5000/litre. At a critical current of 1A/cm^2, fairly useless. At 10,000A/cm^2 that can make some neat medical equipment that no longer needs coolant that condenses the oxygen out of the air if it leaks.

It's been a while since I read about the idea — and this might have been an amateur blog rather than a serious claim — but I think 100,000A/cm^2 for reasonable density is enough to fly by pushing against earth's magnetic field?
