Things have escalated rather quickly.

Sometimes the most helpful thing for a passion project is to take a moment away from it, spend a moment not on it, on something else, so that when you come back to it, you’re a little more of a stranger to it than you were the last time.

Perhaps you will retrace a path you have already cut, only to find it needs a little adjustment. Or maybe you will take a new path entirely. Maybe you will find the existing path to be perfect in ways you didn’t understand last time, or maybe it just needs a little cleanup to be so.

You can sense you need a break, because you even suggest that you may need to hear it is time to go fishing.

Do you even like fishing? Maybe it should be something else! Or maybe you already know what you need, and you just would like confirmation from someone else, just to say “go fish.”
If this happens then those who took their money out not only caused the bank run but didn't benefit having taken it out anyway!

Reminds me of an episode of car talk. Caller says he parked his car and locked it before work. After work he goes to the parking lot to find his car missing. Before he can call the cops though, he sees that his car has been moved to a nearby spot. Nothing taken or broken, but the seat adjusted, radio station changed, and it’s locked. Caller wanted to know what the heck happened.

To the best of their abilities, the car talk guys surmise that someone with a similar car had the same key as the caller. They unlocked it and started the car without realizing it was the wrong one, drove a little before they realized their mistake, then parked and left it.

I forget the exact details, but I guess it was a cost saving measure to only make so many key variations.
Saw this on the frontpage here on HN right after reading the article "Silicon Valley Bank shut down by regulators, UK arm confirms it’s a standalone independent entity"

> Silicon Valley Bank UK has moved to reassure UK clients and partners it is ring-fenced from the turmoil experienced by its parent US company.

> “As a reminder, Silicon Valley Bank UK is a standalone entity with its own balance sheet and governance structure. SVB has supported investors and innovators for 40 years and we have been so humbled with the consistent drum of support coming from our UK investor and founder community in last few days,” said Erin Platts, CEO and Head of EMEA.

> “We appreciate that this is a concerning time for our clients so we are working tirelessly to support them and give more context,” she added.

> The UK arm of the business told customers today that it operates as a standalone “independent banking institution” that is regulated and governed by the PRA in the UK.

> “Silicon Valley Bank UK fully abides by the UK regulatory requirements as covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and by the Financial Ombudsman Service. SVB UK, Ltd. is ring-fenced from the parent and its other subsidiaries,” the company said.

If I order a package from Amazon, and it doesn’t show up on time and in the condition, I blame Amazon, not their subcontractor with whom I have no relationship. A longer supply chain does not mean the divestiture of responsibility.

Note I am NOT suggesting that every package must arrive on time, just that when they do not, it is Amazon who must perform the service recovery rather than a delivery company.

That is no different in this case.

I also have occasional wrist issues from a long ago broken wrist, touch pads don't help a great deal, better than a mouse but not great. I find a trackball to be much better, I like the Kensington Expert, as long as I use the wrist support which comes with it I never have any wrist issues. The Thinkpad trackpoint is also quite good but if you are set on a mechanical keyboard I am not sure that will work for you, I doubt any of the keyboards with trackpoints are mechanical.
I have family in third-world countries, and usually have them buy me flight tickets when I want to visit them. Cheapest way and easiest for them to withdraw, is me sending them USDC. Some of them use USDC directly to exchange with friends for goods and services, others manage to sell them P2P in their country for USD, which they can then trade for local currency.

Messy, inefficient and UX could be way better, but it works and is cheapest for everyone involved.

Never said 1-neoron. Just that it is mechanistic. The brain is a neural net, the grandmothers face is a combination of pathways. Our responses are a combination, or pattern of pathways. LLM is just the latest example of us able to replicate part of it, just one aspect of what the brain does. Sure, the brain is more complicated, that is what I meant by scale, eventually all the aspects will be modeled and put together. It wont all be LLM.

In the IBM Mainframe world [1]:

The ABCs of IBM® z/OS® System Programming is a 13-volume collection that provides an introduction to the z/OS operating system and the hardware architecture. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced system programmer, the ABCs collection provides the information that you need to start your research into z/OS and related subjects.

...

2.1 The role of the system programmer

The role of a system programmer is broad, but essentially it is to maintain a stable operating environment for users and business applications. A system programmer’s responsibility can be at the operating system level, at the subsystem or middleware level, or at the hardware level. A system programmer installs, customizes, and maintains that environment by rolling out regular maintenance or even upgrading the entire environment to keep current and use new functions.

Another part of the system programmer’s responsibility is to provide technical support to the users of the environment. This support can be answering questions about a product or analyzing a potential defect in the product (IBM or third party).

SVB went bust and it busted because it made very poor decisions and had double interest rate exposure and unlike other banks (JPM, WF, BA, etc.) its depositors jointly all took their money out and created a bank run. SVB didn’t ask VCs and founders to all withdraw their money.

There’s nothing for society to do except for the FDIC to sort it what’s left and make sure the insured get their money and then the remaining assets are split up as fairly as possible.

> Afterwards we as a society should take a long hard thought about the success record of centrally planned economies.

I disagree. Going down the centrally planned economy route would be a huge mistake for the US (it’s a universal mistake for all countries except perhaps in dire circumstances like a global war). We should avoid central planning mistakes like bailing out or subsidizing bad businesses. Etc.
I have a degree in systems programming (BSc). So at least some people thought of systems programming as consisting of:

* Lots of pretty low level programming. OS level stuff and raw network programming.

* Low level database and data storage skills in all levels. Programming, database internals like optimizers and storage engines.

* All aspects of networking; TCP/IP, other protocols, physical level, routing protocols and lots of socket level programming in Unix.

* Operating system internals.
We're talking about international trade, not an espresso at the corner shop.
> And what if SVB is just the tip of the iceberg?

> Who cares about the financial system?

Genuinely confused. We care about the financial system because “what if svb is just the tip of the iceberg”

Also look at the faces of all of the characters - they have very little facial movement. Lipsync is much easier to visually match than something like subtle facial expressions.

What this may do well is automate the low hanging fruit (easy shots) and provide a nice starting point. It also very well might end up being mostly a temp tool before a final high quality pass is done by a competent artist (and temp VFX is a whole sub industry that is quite important!)

Then raise the tax rates at higher incomes.

People can be 'psychologically satisfied' with having a large number given to them during salary negotiations for their gross salary, but then once income is greater than (say) 200'000, a larger and larger portion is taken at higher tax brackets.

And a refresher on how marginal tax brackets work:

Yes, they reduce risk. They do not eliminate risk. If you're gambling on a "sure thing" or "have a system" it doesn't mean you're always going to beat the house.

Here in Poland there's a lot of property not rented as the law is such that if someone stops paying it'll take you years to (maybe) throw him out. And during all that time you need to pay the bills for him because if he gets cut off from e.g. electricity for not paying you face criminal charges.

I would assume the situation is similar in many places across Europe.
If you’re trying to come up with purely quantitative metrics, I have a suspicion you’ve been neglecting your own responsibilities, which are less quantifiable.

Like 1:1s. That’s an opportunity to check in well before any periodic adjustment cycle. Because it’s more than numbers.

If a manager needs a bunch of quantitative data at the start of a review cycle because they don’t know how their employees are doing, it’s the manager that needs an adjustment. Down. Or maybe out the door entirely.

I say no, and those well paid cogs in those machines are complicit. They don't need to feel shame. They need to accept the scope of what they are doing and be mindful of its impact.

Honest and legal doesn't necessarily mean "right". Those that work in the fossil fuel industry are for the most part doing what is honest and right. They are also (as are we all) complicit in catastrophic climate change.

> I wouldn't move to the US for any amount of money.

As a Canadian I wouldn't move mostly for family reasons, but in a more general sense there are very few places that seem appealing to me.

I grew up and have always lived in an urban area, and when I look at the US there don't seem to be that many places that have the 'vibe' I'm into: as a high-level litmus test, it'd be places with good public transit that I could bicycle around as well. Given that a good portion of the US was built post-WW2, large swaths of it are very car-centric. (True in Canada too.)
You’re being downvoted for no honest reason, the “Head of Financial Risk Management & Model Risk” (to quote the exact title) should do just that, i.e. assess financial risk, she/he should leave the ideological shenanigans to people who are actually paid to do just that (PR, marketing etc).

In fact, there’s probably a smart play right now to short the banks whose Heads of Financial Risk departments have been more into grammar and pronouns than into assessing financial risk.

if we simplify it to being an OS (systems) vs a gui (applications) programs, we can see their purpose, philosophy, and reality. The OS' purpose is to run other programs, and thus that interface, Elf, is full of technical implementation details fitting the philosophy of a OS that allows multiple processes to run, and reality - Linux (OS) does not compete with Airbnb (application).

Contrast this to a GUI program a user interacts with. Its purpose is dependant on its relationship to the user. The philosophy is that the user could click on anything on the screen at any time, so the program had better be ready! The reality is that users live in their own world, free from all concerns of the silicon world, except one - power. They may perceive memory pressure in the form of slowness, but they don't feel it the way the operating system does.
