You're technically right, but people treat it as de-facto zero risk.

You also need to look at second-order effects. If startups go out of business because of this, that's a drain on unemployment funds. Those are income taxes not getting paid. Then there are downstream job losses on top of it. It could set back the sector for years, giving other countries sudden advantage in tech. In addition, some LPs are pension funds, so taxpayers would have to make up pension shortfalls. Then there's the risk of contagion now that everyone will be looking at their bank closely. You really don't want to take that chance.

Companies need to get some money very quickly, and you really want them to get at least 95 cents on the dollar back within a month.

It's one thing to let tech suffer because of its own hubris, but because of a run on a traditional bank?

Ask HN: Those who recently graduated, are you able to find work?
I see some senior engineers with years if experience having trouble finding anything, and the market seems somewhat saturated with talent after the recent layoffs. I'm curious to know how this is affecting new grads.

Thanks, and best of luck with the job search!
I think you'd have to try pretty hard to come close to the normalcy of western taxation. Maybe organised protection rackets?

I don't know, I feel like it's somewhat reaching to make them alike. Government taxes are virtually universal across an entire country.

The center of gravity will be where the mass puts it.
I don’t get it. The government invaded a sovereign world and they don’t have the right to fight back?

You've got exactly same problem of undefined vs empty in sh (-n not being exact inverse of -z vs string comparision with != "", different behavior if -u is set, etc). Just check the stackoverflow answers on how to test if a bash string is empty or undefined and there isn't even consensus on what is the best way to do it.

Mypy has had strict Optional checking on as default since 2018, almost entirely eliminating any None-related errors, meaning it is actually stricter and safer than Java or other traditionally considered static languages in that regard, (bar any dynamic misuse in deserialization boundaries). Assuming you use mypy of course, but that's a given today imo, like using shellcheck is for sh.

By them I meant the authorities who intervened midday which is unusual I think?

I do feel the svb ceo/cfo etc should face consequences for their actions, bonuses should be clawed back, but really those are not the important actions here - providing stability to the entire banking system and making sure hundreds of businesses do not close at once because of a bank run are far more important. Otherwise there is significant systemic risk.
Yes, some financial institutions offer FDIC "sweep" accounts that automatically allocate cash deposits among accounts in multiple partner banks when the balance exceeds the maximum amount covered by the FDIC ($250,000 per account). Each partner bank can hold up to $250,000 of FDIC-insured deposits, allowing FDIC sweep accounts to claim FDIC insurance of greater than $250,000. Quite a few of these accounts offer $1.25 million or $2.5 million of FDIC coverage.
ChatGPT isnt a web-app. It takes serious hardware to run the model. More users means more hardware. If they are charging per token (which they are) then the costs will scale linearly with usage, given 100% usage per node. Anything less than 100% is an even greater loss.

It’s a _clichéd_ story about all those aspects. “We are a family” or a variation thereof is the most repeated sentence in the movie. The evil guys are evil, 100%, no nuance.

My humble opinion is that the movie is visually stunning but too predictable, but I’m not a fan of most movie where “things go boom” or “fighting to death” is a substantial component of the plot… so there’s that.

the potential drawbacks of relying entirely on voice-operated assistants like ChatGPT. There are concerns around privacy and the use of personal data, as well as the potential for bias and inaccuracies in the responses generated by these models. It's important to strike a balance between the convenience and benefits of these technologies and the potential risks and limitations they bring. Nonetheless, the advancements being made in this field are impressive and it will be interesting to see how they develop in the future.
insiders using inside information to cut themselves a sweet deal so we can all watch them get rich on the full faith and credit of the govt, and then I have to hear the majority of HN scream bloody-wealth-gap-murder and advocate trying to undo it with completely inefficient progressive tax policy on the rest of the economy? no thanks. Just shut it down and leave a relatively small number of rich people* not whole (*if you lost substantial assets beyond the FDIC limit in this bank, that means you had substantial assets ie rich, not my problem, I'm diversified. Who even keeps money in the bank anyway, it should always be invested.)
They give you a secret, in the form of a QR code (for smartphone users) or a text string.

You put the secret string in a password manager that supports one time code generation, like Gopass or KeepassXC.

When you login with your user name and password, the 2FA adds a second step where it asks for a "one time code", which your password manager provides. That code is temporary and only works for a short time frame.

In my case I use Gopass ( https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass ) and it's as simple as adding a field like

---

totp: thesecretstringblahblah

at the end of my password entries and the app will treat that field as the source to generate one time codes. There's a browser addon and all I have to do is click the one time code and CTRL+V it into the field.
> Most docs are megalomaniacs that cannot fathom a patient being as intellectually capable or informed as them, or having agency over their own bodies, but im off on a tangent now

I don’t know what most American doctors are like. But my mother, brother, late grandfather, uncle, aunt, and two of my cousins are all doctors. (My uncle used to work in the US, but an Australian doctor working in the US probably isn’t very representative of the average American doctor.) I often mention this (without as much detail), in part because I suspect it makes them treat me better. Plus I’m unafraid of medical jargon, which probably helps too

A lot of my personal complaints are about the system and its rules, not the people who work in it, the vast majority of whom have absolutely zero input into what the rules are

That won't with FDIC involvement. First, until they figure out the long term plan, nobody will be able to take more than the 250k that's covered by the FDIC. Second, the long term plan will probably be that much larger bank takes over that can guarantee most or all the remaining deposits, in which case there's no point in pulling your money out, unless you want to keep $3 billion under your mattress.

No one's asking for SVB or shareholders to be bailed out, they're asking for depositors to be bailed out. When you put money in the bank, you don't think of it as "making a bet."

It's been used fairly successfully for deliberative minipublics. I don't think it is the best method for replacing elected officials but it would be a good way to have direct representation if they participate at the same level as legislators.
Being able to select adequately competent participants can be a challenge depending on your source pool, and some point there would need to be a fair process, resistant to manipulation or gaming, in order to cull less qualified individuals. There also exists problems with this method in highly polarized political environments, particular those in which exists two entirely separate information ecosystems such as the US.
Any employee who left after our bank screwed us, despite knowing they'd get paid within a week, is a person I wouldn't anywhere near my business anyway.

This has nothing to do with that. This has nothing to do with the employer. They got screwed by their bank.

FDIC guarantees deposits up to 250k and everyone should know this. I know grandmothers with better risk mitigation strategies than these startups.

Your second paragraph is pure scare tactic. Companies that fail at the basics of managing their own money against simple obvious risks should face the result of their careless. They will be replaced by better-run companies.
A big part of the current SVB coverage is that they had such a "sweep" service that split up customer deposits into smaller chunks and deposited them as securities at other banks, but it turns out those accounts were still in their own name rather than the customer's, and so people who used the service still can't access them.
In my experience, that form of useState is an anti-pattern…

It’s not that it doesn’t work, it does.

But I’ve found there are basically two scenarios:

1) Simple cases where there’s no risk of contention and you can just operate as if your state variable is up-to-date.

2) Complex cases where you have state changes coming from multiple directions and contention is a concern.

In the second scenario I just go straight to useReducer. It is much more reliable than useState when there is the possibility of contention. And it’s much easier to reason about than having a bunch of setState calls all over.

IMO the setState((oldState) => newState) pattern is a half measure that’s almost never the best choice.

Once the CGI page loads, all info is in there. React requires 1 request for the basic HTML, (1 request for the JS but it’s generally cached) and 1 request for the data from the REST API. It’s double the time to load a page.

React apps constantly have gray placeholders waiting for data to finish loading. Contrary to initial experiments, progressive rendering is recorded by the brain as a bad experience.

I suppose - I just find mentions of things like "liquidity" with no specificity pretty meaningless (plus "FED" for referring to the federal reserve; I truly don't understand why it's capitalized as if it's an acronym or something).

The thing is, they did make risky investments. Going heavy long-term treasuries is risky, because you lose money if you have to sell them early. Banks get some privileges when holding them on balance, but they are still assuming a lot of interest rate risk when they buy them. Shorter term treasuries would definitely have saved them, but also ruined their profit margins (at least in 2020~2022), so it's neither here nor there.

This is a discussion in the art world that you'd hear a lot, before stable diffusion came out. The whole idea of "steal like an artist".

It's one of those questions about the nature of us that's on the level of "is there a ghost in the machine"; "do we have actually novel ideas?".

I'm kind of leaning the way you are; I don't think we do. What seems to be happening that we _call_ novelty is just an advanced form of recursive synthesis - we take information in and remix it. But we're capable of levels of abstraction, so we can remix it really well.

I think that getting the abstraction part into these models might just be as simple as wiring them together with a meta-model. A network responsible for identifying similarity between outputs of different types, or one that serves as a connective layer, distributing tokens through other networks and then synthesizing the results.

What I'm almost certain of, is that the important changes are going to be architectural.
If it wouldn't matter, people wouldn't put this much effort in trying to suppress the discussion.

I don't know how anyone who's used it for a bit cannot see how useless it is.

When it contradicts itself, you can ask it to provide references for each side, and it will cheerfully fabricate what look like perfect and relevant references, but are broken links or to papers about cats. And this doesn't hinge on whether one of the "sides" is entirely fictional or not.

I am actually trying to learn javascript and python off and on, and you would think there's nothing it's more suited for. It sure looks as though some work went into making its output for simple programming questions look good.

matplotlib seems byzantine and annoying, and I really thought this might be a good use case.

But no, it's just the same as anything else.

I type this: "add a square patch to a pyplot table cell" (and yes, that probably doesn't make any sense to someone who knows what they are doing, and that is the point)

And I get this:

# get the cell patch for the center cell
cell = tbl[1, 1].get_children()[0]

# create a square patch with a red fill color
patch = table.CellPatch(0.5, 0.5, width=0.3, height=0.3, facecolor='red')

# add the patch to the cell
cell.set_facecolor('white') # set the cell color to white so the patch shows up
cell.add_artist(patch)

It looks plausible when you have no idea what any of it means.

But quickly I discover (among other things) there is no CellPatch method. Someone somewhere named a variable cellpatch. And ChatGPT adeptly combined the capitalization of a method with a variable name to produce a plausible alternative reality. It's amazing! But it's not helpful. It's not helpful precisely because it's so good at making its answers look plausible.

This is a form of the carry trade.

You're borrowing at a lower yield to lend at the higher yield, and the risk is that you have to liquidate before the long one is mature.

Traders do this all the time, because every day you carry this position you're making the difference in yields.

The risk is always the same: the value of the things that give you the yield may change by enough to wipe out the interest difference.
