> We are talking about people voting because they are outraged due to recent crime

They're outraged due to recent outrage about crime, which has absolutely nothing to do with recent crime levels and everything to do with recent outrage levels. It's entirely manufactured.
> losing 20% of your principal is a huge loss

losing 20% of your cash-on-hand, where that's above $250k. For most startups, that's going to be a haircut their investors take, where the founders can say "yeah, literally none of this was our fault".

For mature, profitable businesses with recurring income, this is going to bite, but they haven't lost 20% of their customers or 20% of the amount of money they expect to get paid next month.

For startups, where the money was investment, unlikely their investors are going to blame them for this loss. It might shorten runway by up to 20% for some pre-revenue startups, by less for startups with actual revenue.
>Achieved all that he did through sheer will.

Including the will to take illegal steroids without which he wins nothing and has no fame or career in public life.

If you think that differs from Lance Armstrong it's probably informative to know why you think that way. (And i do fwiw)
I find it hard to believe it was against the law to use batteries to store excess solar power.
> No bank is setup for that kind of bank run.

Banks in Scotland's free banking era used to have a capital cushion of around 1/3 of their balance sheet.

Not saying that this kind of capital cushion is viable in today's regulatory environment. Just to give an example of existing real world banks that were set up for that kind of bank run.

In any case, I agree that scarcely any bank today would be set up for that kind of run. That still doesn't absolve SVB. They put themselves in a position where it's rational for their depositors to run.
This is a non-answer. None of what you’ve described will help a parent with a kid today / for the time in which the kid will be in school. It’s pandering.
The 1993 movie Demolition Man had Schwarzenegger as a past (ie. prior to the main action in 2032) president by virtue of a constitutional amendment.

Schwarzenegger's political career began in 2003 as Governor of California, and an "Arnold Amendment" was actually proposed shortly after that, but didn't get any traction:

This sounded like it'd be fun to implement so I took a quick stab at it, it supports unpacking tuples to any number of _ in any position, including with kwargs.

class Placeholder:
def __init__(self) -> None:
pass
_ = Placeholder()

class Arrow:
def __init__(self, func):
self.func = func

def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):
if not any(isinstance(arg, Placeholder) for arg in args) and \
not (kwargs and any(isinstance(arg, Placeholder) for arg in kwargs.values())):
return self.func(*args, **kwargs)
else:
placeholder_indices = [i for i, arg in enumerate(args) if isinstance(arg, Placeholder)]
placeholder_kwargs = {k: v for k, v in kwargs.items() if isinstance(v, Placeholder)}
original_kwargs = {k: v for k, v in kwargs.items() if not isinstance(v, Placeholder)}
def new_func(new_args):
assert len(new_args) == len(placeholder_indices) + len(placeholder_kwargs), "ERROR: Wrong number of arguments"
return self.func(
*[new_args[placeholder_indices.index(i)] if i in placeholder_indices else arg for i, arg in enumerate(args)],
**{k: new_args[len(placeholder_indices) + i] for i, k in enumerate(placeholder_kwargs)},
**original_kwargs)
return Arrow(lambda *new_args: new_func(new_args))

def __ror__(self, other):
if isinstance(other, tuple):
return self.func(*other)
return self.func(other)

This is my impression as well. I understand that I missed the gravy train, so I'm doing my best to stand out from the rest. Thank you for the suggestion. I will surely check out those threads.
Im just explaining the quote that you asked for clarification on.
Simple > Complex.

Every extra year I spend in engineering, it's becoming clear that this is actually one of the only few things that mattered in the long run. I would say this is one of the best if not the best advice in programming and even in life.

If clean code doesn't follow that, ditch.

Ethanol in the USA is a scam that representatives from states that benefit from the subsidies keep alive.
JP Morgan retained a very healthy position throughout the Financial Crisis of 2008-09 largely because they had a large, diffuse base of retail accounts, likely well below insurance limits. I suppose people were happy to keep their cash in.

Since then all major investment banks are salivating over the idea of setting up retail arms for this very reason. Goldman Sachs tried launching "Marcus" for example.

All for the very reason you describe.
Interesting that he now prefers Clojure, where rules like "function names should be verbs" take a 180 and become don'ts.

It's just borrowing language that is hot right now, just like Discord telling you to "start your own server". Its not your own server and you do not own or control it.
There was also the Icelandic bank collapse, which was multiple banks totalling tens of billions of euros. I personally lost a large chunk of savings in that, and was eventually bailed out by my own government (i.e. my own tax money).
The market can remain irrational longer than one can remain solvent and furthermore, this logic is either predatory; goading someone into doing something unwise; or altogether irrelevant (namely in that if one belieces the financial system is going to fall apart, why on Earth would you try to use the very system on whose destruction you're wagering to... Win?)

It's like talking to someone as a person with a gambling problem and dismissing them telling you the roulette ain't gonna help, and you replying Well, then bet on the roulette and make money.

I.e. you totally miss the God blessed point.
This. Thank you.
Also the amount of claims and self confidence in this thread by people not even able to back their claims with examples is hilarious imo.
Yes. Well, carpenters have an even better grip on reality.

Accountants and economists are doing different things. Both fields are useful, and there's some small overlap between the two.

Many people could benefit from learning some 'rationalised' accounting, ie accounting without the accumulated historical accidents and tax dodges. (Those are also interesting. But less as a description of a reality, and more in the same vein that the Talmud is interesting.)
Let me tell you, it’s so frustrating to having to catch engineers veering from one fun thing to the next, it feels like being a kindergartener constantly trying to prevent a handful of kids from killing themselves with the next fucking thing they see.

There is a reason we’ve decided what to work on. We have customers and a runway to consider, and targets we promised investors to reach. I also would like to work on fun stuff instead of fixing those bugs!
That seems to be something you only understand later in your career though.
that last paragraph is an excellent description of the problem!
Yes. If you had a clear owner, they presumably would have an incentive to pay for the maintenance, or sell to someone who can pay for the maintenance.
The “not all parts have to be performant, so you can make those parts clean” objection never sits well with me. And it’s not just the fact that clean code is presented as universal and this claim is only introduced after you complain that clean code has made your code less performant (Casey was remarkably polite in pointing this out and Bob was very gracious in concurring, both of which were a delight to read).

The reason it doesn’t sit well is that, in practice, it seems like most products don’t know what needs to be fast and so developers end up making almost everything slow. Casey gives many examples but the one that sticks out most in my mind is the Visual Studio watch window (about 25 minutes into https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GC-0tCy4P1U). The watch window lets you pin variables you’re interested in and it will show you their current values as you step through the program’s execution. Invaluable for debugging. Visual Studio’s watch window is incredibly slow, to the point that it actually has a debounce so it will stop updating when you’re stepping quickly and only update once you’ve stopped quick-stepping. This seriously impacts its usefulness! To me, the watch window seems like it’s obviously one of those modules that needs to be running in milliseconds or less - but the company and/or the developers don’t see that, and shipped it slow (and presumably clean) instead. So in my mind, “write clean except where performance matters” comes with an almost fatal caveat, something like “you won’t know where performance matters”.
Ah, a redundant array of independent dishwashers. I wonder how to abbreviate that... Perhaps RAID?

I'm not an expert. But it appears to be an accounting designation that shows up in filings, so it's not purely internal. You are correct that they are not part of the bond terms, which I was unclear on before.

"HTM assets are not marked to market... they remain glued to balance sheets at amortised cost regardless. By contrast, AFS assets are marked-to-market... Sell even a single bond out of an HTM portfolio, however, and the entire portfolio would need to be re-marked accordingly."

There's a bit more detail here, but it doesn't get into the re-marking aspect. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/held-to-maturity-securi...
In 2008, the Fed started paying interest on excess reserves.

> It's people who leave their money on crypto exchanges that lose their coins.

People who hold their own coins lose them as well. It was estimated that 3.7 million bitcoin have been already lost irreversibly [1]. That's a staggering number. It's roughly 20% of the entire supply.

Well, it was their interest risk, not their credit risk, that caused the problem here.

But it's an interesting thought.
Yes. That's (part of) why FDIC is a bad idea: it partially insulates depositors from the need to monitor what their bank is doing.

In banking, we want a flight to quality.
I kinda see what you mean, but systems is an exceptionally vague term. Popular use and even the formal field of Systems Science is hardly more related to computing than any other area of society.

If the horns are loud enough to cause permenent hearing loss, than yes (these weren't just car horns). Allegedly they were significantly above that threshold, even from inside buildings.

There's also mental torture aspect of doing it 24/7 (literally a tactic used in war to break troops).

Those numbers at the bottom of a cheque? Yeah, they include your account number.

There's no inherent information risk to giving out an account number that justifies an outdated paper-based system. Especially when one considers the accompanying fraud risk thereof.

The instant I moved to Europe, I realized just how far behind consumer banking is in the US. It's pitiful.
Why should it be free? You are not entitled to it.

I'm not saying that I agree with these UX patterns, but a lot of good media is created out of financial incentive. People have bill to pays.
>context matters

I've wrote about my observations with the same conclusion

https://trolololo.xyz/programming-discussions

>I've started thinking about it and realized that people arguing on all previously mentioned platforms tend to have various backgrounds

>Web developers, desktop developers, system programmers, cloud engineers, people working at startups, people working in corporations, beginners, experienced and known in the industry people, FP/OOP fans, self-taught, people after electrical engineering/computer science/mathematics, and a looot of more.

>So, what's the difference? I'd say context and the context is unfortunately lost in those discussions because all you see is just somebody's comment and that's it. Nickname very often doesn't tell you anything (except on forums after you spend some time there)

>And they all are right (or may if you want to argue :)), but very often that information about their respective domains is lost and the argument is around some "generic code base" or some "average project" which is different for everybody.

Depositors will get their insured money back. Is there a commitment from the FDIC to make all depositors whole? If so, that's not typical.
Once upon a time bills (banknotes) were bearer instruments which could be exchanged with the Treasury for silver. (Or with whatever issuing entity in whatever they promised--typically gold or silver.) A bearer instrument is payable by the drawee to whomever physically presents the instrument.

These days the value of bills is solely in being legal tender; that is, an authentic bill can be used for satisfaction of any court-ordered debt. That's not the same thing as requiring people to transact with you using those bills. But if someone sued you in court and gained a judgement against you, then you could use those bills to satisfy the judgement. Example: you ran away with a candy bar after the clerk refused to take your dirty dollar bill. They sue you. The court orders you to pay the store $1, which you can satisfy with an authentic $1 note, even the original dirty note.

Maybe the clerk refused the bill because the store only accepts Bitcoin payments. I'm not sure, but the judgment could in theory include whatever costs the store incurred (if any) by being forced to take cash, which you would could also pay in cash. Because ultimately whatever damages or costs were incurred can be satisfied by the jurisdiction's legal currency, in which such damages and costs are also typically denominated.

If the startup has no operating cash the equity collateral has a known value of 0.

Buying SVBs loans make no sense unless SVBs customer liabilities (eg tech deposits) are guaranteed.

I think we will see fed and regulators coordinate a shotgun wedding between SVB and one or several TBTF banks to stem contagion by Monday if not sooner. If not - tech (and the wider market) will be in existential crisis.
I’m interested in this as well. Comparatively little attention has been paid to those 7B model results, but they look quite good against 175B GPT-3.

As for ChatGPT, that is GPT-3.5 (same 175B model, but with instruction fine-tuning), plus the RLHF.

I feel like I've gotten pretty good at juggling multiple things over time. Back when I was in uni, I was studying psychology while working as a junior developer, learning new programming languages, and working on non-profit side projects. And now that I've started my "real" career, I'm balancing work, non-profits, dating, hitting the gym, and hanging out with friends.

Here are some lessons and things that have helped me along the way:

(1) Taking care of energy levels and mood is top priority. I think being productive is more about these things than making more time. Can be done via: regular physical activity, sleep quality, journaling, supplements, supportive group of friends.

(2) Knowing WHY you want to do these things is super crucial (+ making sure that it’s actually aligned with your values and goals and vision for the future)

(3) Not having unrealistic expectations for myself - I've learned the hard way that this is a surefire way to burn out.

(4) Knowing my best hours of the day and using that "premium" time on what's most important. For me, that's from 8-12 in the morning, right after my walk and coffee.

(5) Being in front of a computer for a long time can be languorous so if your extra activities also involve cognitive work in front of a screen the solution is to mix in something different like a walk or even a shower, etc.

(6) Making it fun - I'm a bit of a nerd for pens and paper, so I take my notes by hand even though it's slower and harder to move information around. But I just love how it feels to write on real paper, so learning is more fun that way.

(7) Combining things - like listening to podcasts while on the treadmill or doing projects with friends.

(8) Having a partner that shares your goals/way of living/hobbies/interests is a killer life hack for doing more things. For example, trying to flirt in German with the 400 words you know is so much more fun than just doing flashcards.

(9) Outsourcing whatever I can.

(10) Remembering that I don't have to do everything - doing one more thing than I've been doing before is good enough.

Hope that helps!

This was funny. But I've seen too much clean code written by people smarter than me to agree.

I actually think how "clean" your code is depends on lots of factors. Eg.

(a) Do you care if your coworkers find it easy to modify your code?

(b) Do you feel a sense of ownership over the code you're touching?

(c) Does your organization reward delivery speed without any checks for code quality? (eg. no culture of code review)

(d) Is the code a proof-of-concept that needs validation from users before further investment?

You're likely right that applying RLHF (+ fine-tuning with instructions) to LLaMA 7b would produce results similar to ChatGPT, but I think you're implying that that would be feasible today.

The fact that they're not (as you note, it's free money) is itself a gigantic red flag.
