While your point isn't exactly wrong I do think it's a bit of a oversimplification.

Most editing of Wikipedia is done for personal reasons, including commercial (you get paid to write on Wikipedia) and with SO its most likely because information is cheap.

In fact the points you raise is so trivial that we've had bots do it for us way before chatgpt.

Compare this to artists, programmers and designers who only release things for free under strict circumstances (hobby, social gain, licensing requirements, etc.).
Meaning is use. “Milk” is a fuzzy collection of properties and use cases. Which is why when you say “coconut milk” or “oat milk” people aren’t confused.

Hell, cows aren’t magic. Even “real milk” is just a collection of sugars, proteins, etc. If there’s no difference between the two then what’s the distinction?
A lot depends on how bad the situation is, that is, how big the financial hole is.

The Fed is very sensitive to the concern of economic and operational disruption and they’d like to restore as much as they can as soon as they can, it might be relatively easy to do, it might not.

The bear case I see is that the SVB failure wrecks the companies that have loans to it, so it is a self-fulfilling prophecy which could turn a somewhat bad situation into an unmitigated disaster.
That "result" is a fished statistic, as explained in an article of The Local: https://web.archive.org/web/20230310094110/https://www.thelo...

They really aren't. The vast majority of elections are determined by the partisan make-up of the district in question.

For the most part, you seem to have inverted causation. It looks like more popular candidates attract more money, not that candidates with more money end up being more popular.

BLM is an interesting one because the problems the US has with race don't really translate well to other countries. Seems like the author lives in the UK, where we have our own distinct racial issues that have very little overlap with the BLM movement over the pond.

The 'trans rights' one is also a curiosity because not that many people will know a transgendered person, and even if they do, it's unclear what actual rights they think they are fighting for. Whereas everyone has women and girls in their lives who will be negatively affected by men trying to impose themselves in their spaces and not respecting their boundaries.

Local radio stations can advertise local businesses which could be an example of good/useful targeted ad. The difference is of course the targetting is "passive" and they don't know me, at a downside of being only able to estimate the number of listeners.

Elon Musk May Buy Failed Silicon Valley Bank
Hilarious.

DAO stands for "decentralized autonomous organization." This thing appears to collect transactions via a centralized google form and then complete those transactions if 5 of 9 people vote to perform them. Neither decentralized nor autonomous.

You go through all this effort to establish something fancy using whatever hot defi thing exists but situate it on top of a google form and a spreadsheet just owned by some guy.

Also, I can't believe that the form uses scientific notation for amounts. How unbelievably error prone to miss that one row has a "+" instead of a "-".

The lessons learned should be "holy fuck don't run everything on a google sheet" not "be more careful with how you share links and make sure the signers are uber careful to review 80 rows of boring transactions for single-character swaps."

Again with the false dichotomies. You should get that checked out.

I am not railing against democracy. I am saying democracy is being undermined by certain unchecked aspects of capitalism, specifically in the US. In many European countries, this is much less of a problem because campaign finance is very strictly regulated. And in general the solution employed in Europe has been more financial regulation, not a small state. And it's been highly effective.

And yes, socialist countries can also be corrupt, and definitely have been. I never said otherwise. Saying X about capitalism is not automatically saying !X about socialism.

Similarly, saying that socialism can also harbour corruption is not equivalent to saying capitalism has nothing to do with corruption in capitalist countries.

It's false dichotomies all the way down.

That’s a rose tinted view. For some fields (not unsurprisingly nerdy ones) the quality of the amateur content was good enough. For other fields it was abysmal. I remember trying to look up scholarly material on English literature in 1998 or so and not being able to find anything that was even remotely decent, for example. And it could have been worse: among the amateurs that put history related material online, crackpots and conspiracy theorists were (and, in fact, are) vastly over represented.

To me, vinyl is for intentional listening. I am making a conscious choice, I am actively listening to it, and I’m interacting with the media and displaying large form artwork while it plays.

I also have access to Amazon’s music service in every room on whatever devices we have. I am working my way through RS’ to 500 albums with it.

I am currently building a Grateful Dead Time Machine (https://www.spertilo.net/) to have that added to the music playing repertoire.

I can listen to all of those as background music or even actively. But they’re different than vinyl for me and I don’t care about what others do or how they do it, but I ENJOY this in a way I never enjoyed music before while having the disposable income to do it.

To each their own and all of that but for folks to deride those who listen to vinyl with a dismissive wave of their hand because they disagree with it and generalize their feelings for those who enjoy it is a bit much.

> Is it even possible for RAM to get much, much better than it is currently?

DRAM currently consists of a small capacitor per bit (cell), which can hold a small amount of charge (1) or not (0). The amount of charge it can hold, its capacitance, depends on the area and the distance between the conductors[1].

So, as you try to cram more cells into the same area, the amount of capacitance goes down. This is problematic because of leakage[2], causing the charge to leave the capacitor. This is why DRAM cells are refreshed periodically, hence the "dynamic" in DRAM. Too much leakage, and you spend all the time refreshing rather than accessing the memory.

To raise the capacitance back up, you can move the conductors closer. However, if the insulating material stays the same, this will lead to increased leakage. Thus a better insulating material is needed.

While the current DRAM cells are quite impressive, it seems they're starting to hit fundamental road blocks with the current technology[3]. There's a limit to just how little amount of charge a cell can hold and still be reliably read, and finding better insulators is getting harder and harder.

It may well be a new approach is the solution to continued scaling. Moving away from individual capacitors as the basis for a memory cell might be a way forward[4].

I don't support products like this.

We know much more about biology than we used to. Incomparably more. But what we know is still very little.

Replacing foods consumed for thousands of years with foods dreamed up in a lab is a fool's errand. We've already seen continual (and ONGOING) health disasters from industrialized foods.

On top of that, there's likely already a lot wrong even with "scientifically"-enhanced modern agriculture that's not processed (animal feed, monocultured crops, pesticide use, topsoil depletion etc. etc.)

We need to stop what we're doing and actually work with the ecologies we have to produce enough food for everyone. I suspect this latest push has a lot more to do with big capital players wanting to centralize food production and remove the dependencies on unpredictable inputs (animals) than any wide-eyed dream about saving the planet.

Who is bailing them out though? My understanding is that SVB still had cash and 10 year MBS that cover 90%+ of deposits if those MBS were able to mature. And because of that when another bank takes over these accounts, they will (as a condition from the FDIC) honor those deposits.

When people say bailout, they refer to tax dollars going to bailing out an entity.

I could be 100 percent off base but that's my understanding.

My impression is that a lot of companies are reconfiguring (and possibly shrinking) space with the aim to make offices more meeting and collaboration spaces rather than individual work spaces.

For a lot of companies at this point, having dedicated individual work spaces for most employees doesn't make a lot of sense unless they have specific equipment needs and are going to come in most days.

I've used Vue. It's much worse than React. It's probably ok for very small sites but its automatic reactivity system seems almost deliberately designed to produce spaghetti code and subtle bugs. Plus it has poor Typescript support. You don't have to worry at all about type errors in TSX.

That said, I'm liking Yew a lot more than React. The difficult thing with React is state management, which is why it's common to resort to immutable state (even though that's a real pain in JS), and even then React chickens out by assuming components are impure by default.

Everything makes way more sense in Rust. The big downside is that Yew doesn't really have anything like Bootstrap or Blueprint yet. I mean there are ports like Yewprint (great name) but they seem to be complicated to set up and you lose the really nice simplicity of Trunk.
I've always found Fabergé eggs interesting. It's awesome how it was just supposed to be a one off thing, but the tsarina loved them so much they became a tradition. I've been trying to make painting wooden eggs a tradition in my family, and I take a lot of inspiration from Fabergé eggs.
That makes sense. The market is there to make sure banks have enough to meet the reserve requirement. And if that requirement is too low...

I guess that's why we have the FDIC, and why banks pay into the insurance. And why 2008 wasn't as bad as the crash that led to its creation. It looks like the fund has $124 billion as of 2022.

https://www.fdic.gov/news/press-releases/2022/pr22064.html

That doesn't sound like enough to do much more than cover $250k on all accounts, but I guess that's the idea.
Does the FDIC work like that?

I imagined they would sell assets for the insured. And then sell more for the uninsured. If that process didn't cover the insured, they would bring money.

In this case, the insured are well covered by the assets, so the FDIC won't bring money.

We have a $12B difference of opinion here. Although, more generally, I agree from initial reports the assets - deposits gap does not seem to reach 30%. We should know more tonight and Monday morning.

> niche domains

I’m not sure if I would call movies and video games “niche”.
That seems like a real romanticization of the early internet - comparing, essentially, Geocities to a forest and simultaneously calling the plethora of content-creator sites available today (sites like Substack, not 'influencer' brands on IG) a "fucking desert, a wasteland" seems sort of disingenuous.

Sure, if you never leave FB or Reddit, you're not going to see a ton of diversity. But it's still all there if you can get more than a page into search results, or put in literally the exact same level of effort you used to have to put in when AltaVista and Lycos were out giving horrendous search results.

Even on Reddit, if you spend your time on what used to be the defaults versus finding the niche subs, you're going to have a vastly different understanding of forest/wasteland.
The question is not what other terms they could have used but how you could interpret differently the chosen expression (which is perfectly unambiguous to me)
> but they are used like that.

Using that form of reasoning, it could be claimed that, say, “espresso” is pronounced ”expresso”, because some people do pronounce it like that.

But that would be disingenuous, since “is pronounced” does not generally mean “is sometimes, by some people, pronounced”, but “is supposed to be pronounced” or “is properly pronounced”. The same goes for “tilde is used for approximation”; no it isn’t. If would be different if scbrg had written “tilde is sometimes used for approximation”; it would have indicated a possible interpretation of the first meaning, and not the second.

I think the reason that the internet is a cesspool of privacy invading malware and fraud is because of get rich quick schemes. Basically the same thing that's affecting the majority of the cryptocurrency use. That's why there's always clickbait sites and auto generated content dominating search results and you're constantly being recommended crappy sponsored videos with no real content in them.

It's not that people don't want to pay for things or they don't expect the pay for things. It's that most people don't know how to run a legitimate business but running a get rich quick scheme that's another ballpark.

> blaming the current miasma on "advertisers" is so short-sighted

The problem isn't advertising. The problem stems from combining advertising with relentlessly spying on everyone all the time.

Television, newspapers, and glossy magazines had their content funded through ad sales without spying on the public for decades, so we know the spying on people part is not a hard requirement.

This actually makes a ton of sense, lets not forget that a bailout in this term is really pointing towards saving the bank itself, and its shareholders. There is inherent risk in equity investments, and it likely should have to suffer for its poor decisions.

But when it comes to depositors, I think it makes a lot of sense to make them whole, especially in the case of SVB where the bank likely has pretty close to enough assets to cover the liabilities (deposits), but its tied up in such long term investments that it could take a long time to get it out.

But moreso, when we invest in companies, we deep down know there is a possibility of the investment going to 0. We often don't think when I put money in a bank it can go belly up, this would obviously hurt the trust in our banking environment if depositors not made whole.

I am curious about which part of Europe you are from (as there is no European nation). Because people that have the most to say about socialism are those whose only contact with it was theoretical or through books which has nothing to do with reality, as history teaches us.

I've given up milk (although not cheese) and moved to oat milk. Initially it didn't "taste right" but after only a few weeks of sticking with it it's completely normal and I enjoy it on my breakfast cereal, in tea or coffee.

I guarantee if you give it a few weeks it will become normal and enjoyable. It's like giving up sugar in tea or coffee, you soon find it normal and the old flavour slightly less desirable.

I added this to my reading list, looks interesting, thanks.

Though I'm very opposed in general to the idea that causation is one sided here.

I can easily see it as a cycle. Popular candidates get more money, can buy more attention which makes them more popular, get more money, buy even more attention, and so on.

There's also the gnarly topic of money and the big media which is involved at every step here as well.

It's an extremely complicated topic with many moving parts interacting in all sorts of interesting ways.
The comments here focus on various AI/ML ways of classifying websites. That's surely part of a solution, but I think manual classification is still important. If you're making a public facing website, try to crowd-source the manual classification if you can't classify pages yourself. At present, AI/ML classification probably doesn't work anywhere near as well as you all think it does, which became obvious to me when I worked as a patent examiner in the past and used some of the many AI/ML search tools. These tools are quite good at finding somewhat similar things, but will usually miss things that I'd consider very similar. And when I was a patent examiner, "somewhat similar" wasn't good enough. Many people looking for similar websites won't be satisfied with a list of somewhat similar pages if a very similar page exists in the database.
