Hi there, co-founder of Gusto here. To clarify — If you have not yet updated your bank account on file to another (see article), you will have to wire funds to Gusto in order to make payroll on time. Log in to the app, run payroll, and you’ll get a prompt with more details and the specific cut-off, but it’s usually 10am PST in the morning of payroll.

In terms, of getting a new bank set up, I’ve seen people open bank accounts same-day with Mercury (online) or Chase (walking into a branch). Wiring funds from SVB to one of these banks should take <24hr to complete.

But yes, you CAN initiate a wire transfer from SVB if you prefer to do that. Note that some SVB customers are seeing issues with the portal right now (probably given high traffic).

Hope this helps.

Oh, also we created this resource hub to help SVB customers with tips like the above: https://gusto.com/company-news/silicon-valley-bank-closure-r...
Exactly my thoughts. Why do people buy iPhone cases with diamonds in them? Because they can and they hang around with people who are impressed by such stuff.
Why would I risk losing money until I had to or was comfortable with?
It looks like the big spend (besides avoiding Gigabit being a feature… wow) is the power supply being linear. Having taken scopes to power lines in homes, I can grudgingly attest to the non-zero impact switching power supplies have in audible frequencies.

But it’s comically small and solvable much more easily than spending this kind of coin.

I was expecting an AVB switch with locking connectors and redundant power. You know, like a pro audio mission-critical device. Instead it’s basically like using stacks of hundreds to vibration insulate your CD player. It might technically improve things, but the return on investment is poor.
> What's natural about cat on only one file?

What's natural about using tar to create .tar.gz files instead of using them to archive files to tape?

"cat is to catenate" sounds like an argument from people that need to get out and smell the flowers once in a while

From 'man cat'

> cat – concatenate and print files

So if I want to print a file to stdout, I'll use cat, thanks.
My personal approach is:

- use miniconda ONLY to create a folder structure to store packages and to specify a version of python (3.10 for example)

- use jazzband/pip-tools' "pip-compile" to create a frozen/pinned manifest for all my dependencies

- use pip install to actually install libraries (keeping things stock standard here)

- wrap all the above in a Makefile so I am spared remembering all the esoteric commands I need to pull this all together

in practice, this means once I have a project together I am:

- activating a conda environment

- occasionally using 'make update' from to invoke pip-compile (adding new libraries or upgrading), and

- otherwise using 'make install' to install a known working dependency list.
Seems like it'd be exceedingly well-suited to an ML model that's tuned by a neverending stream of data (positives, false positives, false negatives, etc). The cat-and-mouse game would still be there, but the "lag time" between shifts in spammer strategies and the model's ability to deal with them would presumably grow increasingly small over time, until eventually it would cease to be worth bothering with for many current spammers.
This behavior is how current variable speed heat pumps operate with Ecobee and Nest. You leave efficiency on the table, but I get it provides some future proofing assurance for homeowners. Definitely something we can integrate into the board.
I think the games people are buying on a whim, though, are the games with 10-year staying power that they haven't gotten to yet -- not throwaway projects that aren't good enough to care about.
Sounds interesting, how do you create the long term memories in the short 4096 token window? Can you share something?
Would the company also have control of the doors and windows, or at least perfect knowledge of how long they are open? And number of bodies in the house, or amount of cooking being done?
SVB failed. If you held any shares of SIVB on Thursday, they are now worth, literally, $0.
I've heard the following mind numbing phrase used by one person to describe their vinyl music listening experience: "uninterrupted magnetic chain" (ie: from the production all the way to their speakers). The absolute lack of understanding of: electrical engineering, acoustics and signal processing is on full display with these folks.

To me it really highlights the difference of those who seek to understand deeply, and those who interact with the world only in superficial and aesthetic ways. The latter really want to depend on the "magic" within the machine, and can get upset if you try to shed light on how these things really work.
The purity spiral on full display in this comment section. Somehow social media makes it the default state on topics like this, even in places that typically have a lot of nuance.
I think there are a lot of us, but we aren't very visible because we just buy some best-bang-for-the-buck equipment to get us above trash-tier sound, or hit a few pawn shops, get set up to our satisfaction, then don't think about it again. Shit lasts decades, once you hit good-enough there's not much reason to keep messing with it. Only thing you might be replacing about once a decade is headphones—maybe.
> That’s not true though.

There's not enough information here to know either way.

What system flagged them, when, and based off of what information?
There’s also relocating across machines. For example, maybe your build environment has access to internal registries but your release environment does not. I naively thought you could build your venv and just copy to the new machine (both environments were Ubuntu) but ran into errors (due to links breaking). We also used pex for a bit, which is kind of like building a binary of a venv, and that eventually stopped working too when the C ABI was no longer the same between environments. There didn’t seem to be an easy way to pick the ABI version to target when creating the pex file, so I gave up and just downloaded the wheels for internal packages in the build.
Heat pumps are trying to compete against very inefficient, yet very powerful, forms of heating.

A 100 year old house might have 12 fireplaces, each of which, when loaded full of wood or coal, can output 10 kilowatts. Thats 120 kilowatts of heat - 500k btu/h.

If upgraded to a gas boiler, that same house might be fitted with a 30 kilowatt system - 100k btu/h

The same house outfitted with a heat pump might expect to get a 10 kilowatt system - 34k btu/hr.

See how we are fitting smaller and smaller heating systems to our houses? Thats because a heat pump's cost scales with capacity, so we don't want to oversize. In fact, a typical house wouldn't even have enough electricity for a heat pump as powerful as those fireplaces!! Whereas a fireplace doesn't really cost any more to make it a tad bigger.

The less powerful heat sources need to run all the time, and will take many days to bring the house up to temperature after being turned off. Even then, they need to be paired with extra insulation to reduce losses.
Meta does this, saying it's "just fine". Especially Instagram.
I reported an account posting hardcore porn videos and they were like "lol thanks, we don't have time for this, it's fine".
Then I wrote the word "tits" in a comment of some redhead's picture and the comment and removed because it was "harassment". Say what?
I escalated the issue and a month later they were like "the committee didn't pick your case".

The amount of scammers I get in my private messages on Instagram is also insane. How clumsy they act.
Method A:
Take a random picture that you commented on a longer while ago. Say they're them and that you, the fan, has been chosen for special treatment. Yada Yada, they want to send you a picture of them but sigh coincidence has it that it requires an iTunes gift card to work. Fucking really?
The profile picture is that of a blonde but all of the profile's friends are black including the women.
Method B:
A more popular porn actress had an Instagram account, you comment on that account, any comment.
They copy pictures of that account, use AI to generate similar pictures of that person. Again you're addressed as "the fan". You get the rest.
Those accounts have over 200k followers each.
Maybe they're also part of that person's network monetization strategy.
I know a guy who worked in SMS sex chat, pretending to be a woman and sexing male chatters up. Something like this may be happening here.

The internet, especially social networks, remain a dangerous place.

Sometimes I want to go along with it just to see where it ends and what they do to make it work, but then again who has the time for that?
I'm not some Rand-worshiping libertarian, but I do think the immediate response of (more or less) "there oughta be a law" whenever something negative gets press is maybe not ideal.

These people should probably be shamed publicly for this kind of exploitation, for sure. And things like the Coogan law should be applied when the kids are a big part of the brand.
There's no such thing as "taken" like that. That is to say, just because somebody else is working on an idea, that doesn't mean you can't (or shouldn't) work on the same idea, or a closely related idea. If anything, if you're working on an idea and nobody else is, you should be asking some really hard questions of yourself, like "why is nobody else working on this if it's such a good idea. Am I really that much smarter than EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE WHOLE WORLD??" and so on.[1] If somebody else is working on the idea, then that's at least small amount of validation that it might be a good idea. If they have paying customers, so much the better.

There's a quote I read once, and I wish I could find the original source so I could provide a proper citation, that I think was from Bob Parsons that goes "Never be afraid to enter a crowded market. Just be better than everybody else." That might be a little bit hyperbolic, but I think the general attitude is sound. Don't be afraid to get in there and mix it up and compete.

As the old saying goes "Startups don't die by murder, they die by suicide." Most likely, the other startup you're think about is going to die by suicide anyway. They're going to fail to execute, choose a bad market segment, screw up their marketing, screw up sales, choose SVB as their bank, or any of 1000 other things that are going to send them to the Great Accelerator In The Sky. Just don't make those mistakes, outlast them, and the market is yours!

Steve Blank[2][3] also has a lot of salient advice on these topics.

[1]: That said, somebody has to go first. So if you have an idea and you have real conviction that it's a Good Idea, then maybe you just have to go for it, even if nobody else has gone down that path. But that does, IMO, imply the need to aggressively try to invalidate your idea so you can pivot as early as possible (before wasting a lot of resources) if it does prove to be a Bad Idea. This whole topic is a lot of what @sgblank talks about in TFSTTE.

Guys can we keep quite about this please. Yesterday the party line was it was outrageous to suggest a company could keep money in more than one bank and or in treasuries. Have you no empathy?
> Someone else said FLAC makes it sound worse, but I suspect they just couldn't figure out how to use libflac.

Honestly, that's not so ridiculous. Lossless will sound different from lossy, and someone may prefer the lossy version.
I guess almost every engineer I've known must be a database developer or a researcher or a hobbyist I guess.
That would be more comforting than the idea of people actually being that stupid.
> no digital harshness

Reminds me of comments when CD's came out int he 1980's. Audiophiles and magazine articles insisted they could "hear the aluminum".

What they were actually hearing was songs mastered for Vinyl or casette that had not been properly remastered for digital. Vinyl and casettes required pre-emphasis of highs to offset the limited high frequency response and noise of analog media.
Yes, I am. Here's a study about their use as projectives: https://www.academia.edu/442955/Tarot_As_a_Projective_Techni...

You can find a tonne of literature on the clinical use of projective. The famous rorsach test is based on the same psychological mechanism.

In terms of logic they do actually have an attempt at systematising both a range of common emotions and a number of archetypal points along life's journey. I know that's maybe not what you meant by logic, but a system that differentiates its output based on input like "Cups, 6", "Coins, 2" etc. works for my definition of logic.

Lastly, and I know you asked in jest, but If your association between the cards and a specific ethnic group is what leads to you judging them as unscientific without first checking then there probably is a level of racism at play. That's nothing to be ashamed of, as everyone carries internalised racism (thanks society). As long as you can recognise it when it comes up in yourself like this and you do the work to combat it then you have nothing to worry about.
Isn't that the same with Qatar/UAE/Saudi Arabia/Russia or any other wealthy nation run as an autocracy / dictatorship.

They very well know what they have (oil and resources) is valuable, and consumer countries will look the other way unless they directly declare war with a NATO country.
I can’t tell if you’re joking or not
Like I've been saying, businesses either rely on lending, or they rely on a state directing things from the top down. The alternatives are giant sovereign wealth funds. I think lending is much better.

I've actually come back around on the GFC thing :) The way in which it's the opposite is that with the GFC we had low inflation and high unemployment and right now we have high inflation and low unemployment.
Solipsism implies there is only the self. However, it is possible that we all have similar enough brains that have evolved for us to share a false reality together, like Donald Hoffman's recent theories. On that note I do often wonder about the sentience of stars, photons, everything in between. So chatgpt is not much of a stretch and is exciting in that context.
Th feds already have that in the payroll tax withholding. Investigators could start there for data analysis then make visits to employers.
Implement with a swappable compute module?
The "controlled environment" may need to be a Faraday cage, among other things.
We have a heat pump water heater, it pumps out cold air. In theory we could duct it into the house (at least in the summer) though it cools the garage for free, so that’s nice.
I think your summary is spot on, but how could you miss listing the premier (in my opinion) example, Wine?
If you can build a working app that does literally anything - full stack - and get it deployed and running in the cloud, then you are absolutely ready to go looking for a junior position in the industry, imo. I wouldn't bother with coding boot camp if you are at that level.

What you're likely missing (besides experience) is the computer sciency theoretical stuff, which makes a difference. I'd suggest getting the big green coding interview book (Cracking the Coding Interview by Gayle Laakmann McDowell) and brush up on basic algorithms, data structures and general CS-speak.

I think your best bet is to start applying for jobs, be totally honest about your knowledge and experience, and try to get interviews. No matter how they go, ask for feedback, and what you should work on.

If companies think you're not ready, don't worry, they're not going to black list you. On the contrary!

I'm technically a hobbyist turned professional, but the hobbyist thing was a long time ago for me. Still, I think you should go for it.

Edited to add: another area that is likely lacking as a hobbyist is a good understanding of testing and quality control. It just isn't really that applicable to hobbyist situations most of the time. So when you do start in the industry, you'll have to change to a more test-first mindset. But just about any professional operation will have that culture these days anyway.
I was confused too but the author uses “trim” to mean “remove anywhere in the string”, rather than just from the beginning and end.
I tried WezTerm for a few months on MacOS. No problem so far (my use case is pretty minimal, e.g tab 1 for compiling, tab 2 for code editing, tab 3 for SSH, etc), except lacking of GUI for user configuration. You need to understand Lua for that:
https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/files.html

Eventually I uninstalled it and back to iTerm2. Maybe one day I'll learn Lua and use it again.
Because you don’t want a lot of accounts?
The way I think about this is that type computations can be used both for type constraint checking and for code generation. In that sense, C++s template metaprogramming system is a superset of TypeScript's, which can only do checks as you pointed out correctly.
...and proud of it.

We've moved four times in the past five years. We don't have kids; we only have cats.

Each move was for a very good reason. Had we owned, we never would have discovered just how much we love our new city or how much I dislike the suburbs without losing substantial amounts of money or being "forced" into becoming a landlord. We'd also still be paying student loans.

I love renting. It offers so much flexibility and offloads so much potential headache.

We will probably buy soon, but renting has made it possible to buy when I was ready in a city we were both very very sure is "it" instead of scrimping and saving for a crappy starter home somewhere we would both develop an acquired taste for.

Also, when I buy, I want our place to be _our place_, not a financial vehicle to buy low and sell high. Renting for a while is giving me enough time to develop enough financial security to make that possible.
I think AR is really cool, but I honestly can't think of a reason that I would use it outside some niche applications.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll send you a note.
Most of SVB's accounts apparently weren't sweep accounts.

I’d love to hear a story about that last one
Sure but his target market is North America, where I don't think there is too much danger of dropping fossil fuel heating anytime soon.
Is it ok for doctors to give sugar pills for ailments too? They're shown to be effective for a variety of ailments.

Tarot reading goes hand in hand with reading people's fortune. I don't see how you can separate the 2 and therefore have an ethically acceptable treatment, and that's assuming the placebo isn't entirely based on the fortune reading expectation.
>If the bonds didn't need to be sold, they would have paid out.

Yeah, but only several years later, and all the while earning a low interest rate. In other words, the net present value of the security still dropped. Sure, if the bank holds to maturity it'll get its principal back, but it would have lost out on a lot of interest. Why would you want to hold your money at a bank that's lending out at 2% (made up number) when the fed is paying 4.5%? The bank will either have to offer lower interest on deposit to compensate, or take a loss. The former case basically creates a bank run dynamic. You want to get your cash out while you still can, otherwise your money will be stuck earning low interest rates for the next half decade. In the latter case, it leads to bankruptcy of the bank as the loss eats into capital reserves.
I think there is probably more psychology going on than people think. I know people are assure me that some weird Swiss water contraption (a piece of wood) makes water taste noticeably better and "aligns molecules" and what have you.

I can imagine someone giving you a taste and you already assume it must be nicer so you confirm the lie. It is also possible that other variables like the fact it has been standing in a jug for longer allowing the chlorine to evaporate make people think that it tastes nicer for the wrong reason.
I’ve tried to move things and broken everything. (Conda environments). I tried replacing the paths in the files and it didn’t work. We run a bunch of different tools with various python requirements and would like to be able to duplicate them for the next tool.

We ended up making a new environments for each. Honestly it’s a bit of a mess.
These kinds of things make me wonder what might be the ways to distinguish between the ignorant and the trolls / the people who take advantage of the ignorant to make money.

Even though that level of (sometimes willful) ignorance is scary, the whole thing is fascinating, in a train wreck way.

I'm literally currently existing in such an immigrant town. We do not have open borders. We have poorly and inconsistently enforced border patrols, which is completely different. I'm not saying there isn't a problem, I'm saying it's important to not exaggerate the problem.

Helping out on the family farm is in its own category, in my opinion. For one thing, the parents are probably actually supervising. So they are probably taking some measures to ensure the child is not dismembered. Most parents do have a strong interest in making sure their children aren't wounded or killed. It becomes a different question when we're talking dozens of kids working in a corporate meat processing plant.

> this is why food is cheap people

True. Though as an outsider looking in, it looks disturbing like a class, or even a caste system. Children, illegal immigrants, and workers with little to no bargaining power -- confined mostly to specific rural regions of the country -- do backbreaking labour, often in illegal and unsafe conditions, in order to provide cheap food for the ruling middle class and elites. Said middle class and elites would rather perpetuate these conditions than face even a few % increase on the price of their food, which they'd be able to afford.

I know you didn't mean that, of course. This is just me taking general aim. It's my first reaction to "this is why American food is so cheap" -- well should it be? Or are Americans just externalizing the costs of that cheap food on to others?
Yes, that MAY be required for full optimization

Wonderful option to have: "Subscribe, and we'll improve your efficiency by 10%++"

OPTION

Another option would be "we'll send you a download with the latest weightings for our optimizing AI firmware for $14.95, or every month for a subscription of $49/year" whatever.

I, and most other sharp people will happily ignore you and buy a system that is 50% less efficient and twice the cost to avoid your lock-in.

I'll also happily buy and subscribe to your reasonably-priced optimization service as long as it is OPTIONAL.

Just look at the nearly violent reaction that BMW got when they suggested that their heated seats would be a subscription option.

If you want your company to die before it even gets started, keep making excuses for why you need to lock us in.

If you want a growth giant, architect it from scratch so someone can happily use it where Starlink doesn't even service, and offer extra-efficiency OPTIONS that OPTIONALLY use internet service.

And yes, open-sourcing the code would be a huge step in giving people confidence that you are serious, and that their investment has a future that is not a brick.
Just stay in the back-end. Then you don't have to deal with these problems. Seems like you are having an opinion on an issue that doesn't really concern you for a reason that I can't seem to identify. Would you care to elaborate on why you care about the CSS typography spec?
That would be news to anyone who actually works in finance.
