> 1. Become super-risky and extract value as soon as possible through dividends and bonuses. Depositors are covered either way.

Depositor risk has never been a consideration of the bank except as far as it relates to the banks ability to grow shareholder value (if investors are wiped out, the bank doesn’t give a shit whether depositors are also wiped out)

> The banking system has lost the risk side of things, and it is now a 100% regulated industry. We could remove the banks and have everyone deal with the Fed instead.

Strongly agree tbh. There’s social reasons why it won’t happen but I’d much prefer this
Unsurprisingly, the top comment complaining about top comment quality is the worst of them all.

This is one of those cases where the most obvious and mundane answer happens to be correct. The government is attempting to nip an existential threat to the wider banking system in the bud. Everyone who uses said system (read: literally everyone) has an interest in seeing it survive.

My experience here is the opposite. I did contracting in the devops space for years, and those of my clients who spent the most on ops were consistently those using cloud providers.
I’ve yet to have ChatGPT produce useable content for my technical writing, or even lighter portions of proposal writing, rec letters, emails etc. I found it has done well at cleaning up text, fun language games, and quickly sourcing readily available information. I don’t think 2023 is the year books are replaced (maybe low novelty blogs). I feel a disconnect with how GPT is being exalted, and my underwhelming experience for useable content.
In London there are plenty of cycle lanes. A lot of cyclists still ride on pavements or in the road. Red lights are often shared by both cycle lanes and vehicle lanes. Cars stop at reds more than 99.99% of the time. Cyclists less than 90% of the time.
If SVB were insolvent (and I believe that is what the FDIC have said?) then they were going to fail anyway.

If they were merely illiquid then we should not have closed them but supplied liquidity.

Either way, Theil is not to blame, at least not for this.
> If not, why not? Both banks would have the same assets.

Unlike NFTs or whatever, the bonds held to maturity will pay out the full amount.

>If you look at actual data there are huge losses in quality of life, some having continued for decades

Mortality has decreased https://ourworldindata.org/child-mortality-in-the-past

>All of these stats are at all time highs/lows.

First, that statement is incorrect. I'll post historical data:

>Over the last five years about 20% of high school students have reported thoughts of suicide.

Suicide rates have been nearly flat for 70+ years: https://www.statista.com/statistics/187478/death-rate-from-s...

Thoughts of suicide match - not an all time high https://www.childtrends.org/publications/teen-suicide-databa...

>Today roughly one in six youths is obese.

Are you claiming this is the fault of tech too?

>10% of all American teens are prescribed some psychiatric medication.

Is the the fault of tech or that more people get diagnosed? Before glasses were invented, 0% of people had them.

>do you actually have data on happiness and well-being over 'all of history'

We certainly do on mortality - and that's improved vastly over the past 100 years, mostly due to tech increases.

>This pattern you're talking about doesn't exist.

I just gave evidence it does exist. A living teen is better than a dead child.

Teens also are happier in general than in the 1990s : https://worldhappiness.report/ed/2019/the-sad-state-of-happi...

And that report points out the correlation between general teen happiness and various internet uses is ~ -0.1, which is pretty weak, with plenty of citations of research backing it up.

>Today people from all age groups report fewer social connections than in any prior decade

"there is no evidence that self-reported loneliness is increasing over time" https://ourworldindata.org/social-connections-and-loneliness

So you can cherry pick all the ills you want, blame them on whatever current boogey man there is, but that same argument has been used for all the things I mentioned above. The correlations, and certainly the causes, are no where near as clear in the research data on these topics.
If it’s GPON, the SFP is actually an entire computer that does a handshake with the upstream OLT and has a MAC address as well as an authentication key. It’s not a normal, dumb layer-1 SFP.

If you read through the guide [1] it requires you to have sudo access to bounce the puppet process on the client nodes.

This is because the whole idea is that you have inaccessible, locked down Production servers that only Puppet (which is driven from a central, governed configuration management source) has authority to configure i.e. no SSH and no root access.

Thus leaving the only option being to physically visit each server at the datacenter and issue the commands.

The "more wood" is in the bow, not the arrows. A bigger, heavier bow will shoot arrows with more force, but will take more effort, strength, and time to operate, so shoot fewer arrows harder.
The name is Japanese word bunki (分岐) which means to branch off. I consider the name quite fitting for a coroutine library just google image (分岐) and you will see what I mean.

Are you sure? I think it took a mere 2 hours to do 4bit GPTQ quantization of LLaMA-65B on 1x RTX 3090. But i may be mistaken.
Taxpayers are not covering any cost. The banks will pay for it via potentially higher FDIC insurance premiums. It’s possible they pass that on to customers, but there’s no direct link here.
Of course it is irrelevant to depositors, that is why the bank failed.

However, it also proves that holding bonds to maturity is different from selling them at market rates. It demonstrates the distinction between solvency and liquidity. Every financial publication has made this point when discussing SVB in order to educate their readership about the problems of duration risk and explain how a bank with enough assets to cover liabilities can still fail.

Now, the nice thing is, the government has time to wait for the bonds to mature. So the government can take the bonds, pay off the depositors, and get the money back when the bonds mature. The government won't lose money if they do it right -- just like they didn't lose money with TARP in 2008.
When did we all agree with that?
I don't understand this part:

"... but asks other entities to spend a lot of energy [...] to replicate and release a truly open-source version of LLaMA"

If Meta released the data and instructions to build the model how is it not open source? Or, how is it possible for other parties to release a truly open version of LLaMa from non-open sources?
A 10 person company shouldn’t need a “treasury management” strategy in a functional banking environment.

Individual still get their 250k.

I mean, did svb offer higher rates/lower costs than average banks? If yes, depositors of more than 250k have to take a haircut, proportional at what was left in the bank (and honestly it seems like all deposit were backed, so even if founds aren't available now, there will be no losses)
You’re speculating. You have no experience with fiscal or monetary policy. You’re a glorified salesman!
I'm in finance in the UK now, because my US-based SV tech employer wanted to cut my pay by about 30%, and cut my base salary by about 50% if I moved to the UK and stayed employed with them. In finance, I'm making about what I did in the US.

On a related note, iodine deficiency was a massive cause of "cretinism" (hypothyroidism, which in pregnant people results in lowered IQ in their children) in parts of the US until iodinised salt became widely available. With the decline of home cooking and the increased popularity of artisinal salts and sea salt, there have been predictions that iodine deficiency might make a comeback in those regions and lowered IQ would be one of the earliest indicators.
The second bank has just bought - because it has enough money to do so selling its NFT or whatever - the same bonds that SVB has.

There is no difference at all between the assets of liabilities and the two banks in this example. I don’t mean just that the amounts are the same: every asset is identical.

Can both use the “I have the money but just not right now” excuse or not?
(Disclaimer regarding traffic rules: I live and got my driver's license in Germany)

> "[...] road safety would be improved for all if more motorists also cycled"

While this statement seems quite trivial I think there's more truth in that than one might realize straight away. I would say that even if cyclists break the law (even to save time and not only to save lives as the title suggests), they often know that they're breaking the law. On the other hand many motorists who break traffic rules regarding cyclists doesn't even know that they're breaking them.

It might seem that knowingly breaking the rules is even more morally reprehensible, but I think at the same time this leads to less entitlement - and in consequence to less road rage.

Some examples of rules a lot motorists doesn't know about (mind German traffic rules):

* it's not allowed to overtake cyclists if you can't keep at least 1.5m distance; this rules only works one way, cyclists may overtake without keeping that distance. The minimum distance even applies if the cyclist is in a marked bike lane on the road.

* there's only an obligation to use bike lanes if they're explicitly marked with a distinct sign; there's another sign which indicates that it's allowed to use e.g. a sidewalk with a bike, but not an obligation

* It's allowed to pass standing / slow moving cars on the right (this is especially usefull in front of red traffic lights); unfortunately there's no obligation to cars to leave space on the right if possible. If you know this rule as a (considerate) motorists, you can leave that space.

* There's a sign which allows cyclists to use one-way streets in both directions; if this sign is posted, cyclists have the same rights of way as cars regardless of direction

* Even if there is a obligatory bike-path, you're allowed to switch to a left-turn car-lane in front of crossings to make a left turn unless it's explicitly disallowed by signs.

I could go on and on, but motorists not knowing these rules might come to the conclusion that cyclists are breaking the rules all the time, which in turn leads to more agression against cyclists. None of the rules above were mentioned during my drivers lessons - it was more like a general 'be careful regarding cyclists because they are weaker, behave unpredictable and don't know the rules'. When it fact it's ofentimes the other way around.
Oh, something I missed… Torrenegra claims in that post that not only did he and his friends start the run, he bought SVB shares on Friday hoping to profit from the run. Sounds totally rational. He apparently thought assets were less than liabilities so needed to get his funds out lest he be left with nothing, but also thought assets so far exceeded liabilities that the shares were undervalued. Very smart man! Few are familiar with this branch of financial quantum physics.
You know, I suspect part of the problem is the lack of diversity in SVB's depositor base. When the tech sector took a hit, a significant chunk of SVB's depositors started to redraw money, combined that with their reduced liquidity due to higher interest rates killing the market value of the long term bonds they held*, it lead to a run.

* I don't really know if we should blame them for that. Who could have expected interest rates to rise so sharply, much less anticipate all the consequences from it doing so?
>there are not known practical superconductor able to sustain such fields without losing their superconductivity

I don't think this is still correct. Mass production of REBCO has ramped up in the past few years which is capable of 250 T internal fields and is being sold on tapes with 100,000+ A/cm^2. We're currently at the "hundreds of miles of tape per year" stage.
It's normal to plan for scenarios where you abruptly lose some people. It's... less normal to plan for scenarios where you abruptly lose basically everybody; in most cases where that happens the company is basically dead anyway, so they're arguably not worth planning for.

Say you're planning, well, _anything_, and someone says "but in five years, a weird billionaire might buy the company and mismanage it to such an extent that your contingency plans don't work". There's a good argument that the proper response is that (a) that is largely the weird billionaire's problem and (b) that it is impossible to defend against an arbitrarily incompetent speculative future weird billionaire.

If someone takes a hammer to an electricity distribution board and electrocutes themselves, the normal response is not "well, that's the electrician's fault; they should have thought of that".

If true, this would "reflect rather badly" on exactly one person. But, y'know, it'll need to join a rather long queue of poorly reflecting things.
Lower fees and higher rates than in an average bank should trigger some signals tbh.

If I was an US citizen, I would have exploited this as much as possible.
> Can they buy the same bonds that SVB has to patch the hole in their balance sheet?

Unfortunately, in related news, the answer is 'yes', from the new BTFP.[1] I wouldn't say this is wrong but it does seem like the kind of bazooka-brandishing that makes financial-folk panic still more.

More commonly you don't plan for it, you make sure the entire ops team are never on the same bus, same plane, preferably not even in the same city.
FW locks aren’t effective. Most of those locked cards have jailbreaks to allow full speed crypto mining.
Here’s the thing: when illiquidity leads to temporary insolvency, it’s easy to chalk it up to bad luck. SBF would probably agree. But an Austrian economist would probably argue that no, actually what is happening is that market forces have determined that you made bad long-term investments and they ought to be liquidated sooner rather than later so the economy can shift that capital into more productive uses.
I agree that I won't run it unless mostly full or special circumstances (going to cook a lot or have lots of people over) but I don't understand how small households don't use the dishwasher! Assuming you are eating most meals at home we (2 people) run the dishwasher about daily on average. Between pots, pans, food containers and plates I find it full up quickly. I think people who don't use it are just afraid to put cookware inside. Except for a few particular items you can get almost everything dishwasher-safe these days.

And even if you do have a period between cooking where it does sit for a few days running a dishwasher even a quarter full uses less water, power and soap than washing by hand. So doing that occasionally if it is starting to smell isn't an issue.
This will also be “fixed” once Valhalla arrives.
Someone else pointed out the recent paper, but I'll also point out that $75k per year in the US puts you in the 1% of global population for salary. So it's not like $75k is attainable for most people.

> and if the arrows are too heavy they're not gonna make it, and if you run out of arrows, you're fucked

Enough thrust will make anything fly: if your bow's range is halved by a heavier arrow, maybe switch it out for a crossbow.

It only doesn't make sense if you choose the position that arrows can be switched out but not bows.
Personally, as a Catholic, I really don't think God is very interested whether people are gay or straight, as long as their relationships are based on mutual love and respect, and commitment rather than people "using" each other. I don't believe the Catholic church condemns homosexuality per se, rather, there are some high profile vociferous condemners of homosexuality in the church. Unfortunately some of these are saying this ultra-conservative stuff to hide the fact they're actually abusers. People thought that about Cardinal Pell, we may never know the truth. The problem with religion is.... people! Look at most of the world's religions, both great and terrible things are done in the name of them.... There are some great people in the Catholic church, that's what keeps me there. There are also sadly some not-so-great people and certainly the church has lost a lot fo moral authority having failed to address its own internal failings particularly abuse
> today there is no stable way to make your own [types with niches] yet.

Not strictly speaking true since you can define enum types and those usually have niches?
I was PM for a cloud hosting solution that we were originally running colocated. We moved it all to AWS for about 5x the costs after you calculated capex vs opex etc.

"The Cloud" allowed our customers to set up their applications with High Availability and PITR (via RDS, building that ourselves at scale would have been problematic). It also allowed us to launch services anywhere in the world. Setting up data centers globally would have been hell.

The product was still easily profitable despite the costs, so I think we made the right move.

If you are thinking of making your own language, it's also good to learn something about programming language theory, if you don't already. Many languages make mistakes that have been solved 25+ years ago. PLAI is good for that: https://www.plai.org/
Usually the "buyer" is being paid to take it off the regulator's hands, so the actual price is negative. The token (positive) amount is to make it easier to deal with in a legal sense.

Thus the bids are for the lowest subsidy instead of the highest price.

There is a critical difference between programming language design and compiler design.

You are right when it comes to programming language design and somewhat wrong when it comes to compiler design.

If you are doing compiler research/development, you have to be familiar with the latest and greatest research because the margins for improving things are fairly slim. It’s usually fine to be not familiar with how things worked ~30 years ago.

For programming languages, you absolutely have to understand the foundations to do absolutely anything.
Pedestrians have been killed by cyclists. Please don’t pretend that the dangers you have observed mean you are entitled to endanger others. It’s sad you’ve suffered this behaviour and come to injury, but this does not mean you get to behave terribly to other people and wave it away and say it’s motorists’ fault.
Seconding this. I recently decided to give neovim a try again and found kickstart.nvim to be a nice starting point. Compared to all my previous attempts to get started with (neo)vím, this felt very understandable and effortless.
Anything in particular your curious about?

For a few similar things:

* It can Yield from anywhere

* You can push data on the stack when creating a co-routine

* It has a slot for local storage in the coroutine (the library you linked calls it user_data).

* It should be pretty light weight since it uses assembly and saves as little state as possible based off the calling the conventions.

There are differences though. One big difference is I do have functions that let you call functions that generate deep call stacks on the thread stack.
Ah, maybe that explains it... I guess it would be too easy to get free internet if people could just jack into fibre strands.

Some previous discussion on HN. All who mentioned some Norwegian study from 1950 were voted to oblivion.
Thanks, I am definitely happy with the name.
I think it is negligible. In particular, PV is much more than 10% cheaper than many other options, and this would be a replacement for whatever the round-trip cost is even in a zero-$ storage system.

My default number for HVDC is 5%/1000km, but I think that's out of date now; at that level, antipodal power would be 1-(0.95^20) = 64% loss, and while that's certainly something I'd avoid if possible, it's still good enough to make PV beat the TCO of batteries or fossil fuels or nuclear… if you ignore the TCO of installing and maintaining the cable, geopolitics, and all the other reasons we've not done that yet.

(I have no idea what the TCO of undersea HVDC cables is).
3 comments within the last couple of hours - all from newly created accounts. That's fishy.
The researchers behind one of the Norwegian studies have made some very weird arguments in public statements that aren't part of their research.

They said that the drops in IQ are not explainable by immigration, but this is something that is only the case in their own study in Norway where the IQ drop was something like 1-1.2 points per decade, while the countries with big drops-- France and the UK have drops that are about 3.2-4.3 times higher.
