> What children do or do not want is an unreliable signal of what is good for their long-term well being.

Sure, you can make them do things or forbid them from doing things you deem inappropriate or detrimental -- if they are your own kids. When society tells other parents what to do or not to do, then we are in different territory.

> How is it at all tertiary?

Forbidding all work is one end of the spectrum which is obviously stupid (no lawn work, no babysitting, etc) while forbidding no work is obviously stupid (let 12 year olds operate construction cranes). It is finding the in between that is difficult.

Acting for money is fine when it is what, $50 for a community gig? Or $5000? What if they are exceptionally talented? Or you say, nope, zero dollars for anything a minor produces since they cannot produce things of value?

Where do you draw the line?

Hence, the 'lots of money' part is tertiary to the 'we let them do it' part.
The main issue I see is terminology. Ethics is a broad field. “AI Ethics” has come to mean mostly eliminating different kinds of bias from AI models. However, AI raises multitudes of ethical questions, and merely being unbiased is far from enough for an AI model (or a person) to be acting ethically.
Fantastic article. Just a heads up for anyone reading this reply.
I like how you think that just slapping on some "AI" will automagically make search better.
Nope. Been here for a couple cycles. As #6 says, "All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again."
Better yet, learn stored procedures, then call them just like any API with a well established set of inputs and expected return typed outputs. You'll thank me later once you decide to split your DB from your app server.

I don't understand, this seems like a leap in logic I am not following. Assuming a good book is identified by it's target audience why wouldn't people pay money for the book?
Most artists using NFTs for revenue are not using IG, so are unaffected by this news.

This is dead in the water in any app, anyways. Apple charges 30% fee on all in-app NFT sales, and on top of that Apple ToS prohibits any “functional” use of NFT tech in their apps. [1]

Metadata isn’t part of the core spec, so NFTs don’t have to link to anything. You can only verify ownership of the NFT id. What the NFT represents is up to the author. It could be a credential to a web application. It could be a pass to a venue checked at the door. It could be anything to gate access by asserting if the wallet holder has a specific id or balance greater than zero of said NFT. An NFT is a unique token. What builders do with it is up to them. Mostly it’s been art. What else could builders do when they have a permissionless way to assert that a user owns a unique digital id (NFT). It’s worth exploring more.
It makes it easier for risky banks to attract cheap deposits in future.
I feel like the 10 year MBS investment might actually have been a case of excess risk. In a world of zero interest rates (which I presume is when they invested in the MBS), 1.5%-2% yield makes SVB quite a bit of extra profit.

Their investment may have been a case of greed and poorly controlled risk.
I don't think there is a problem with the diffusion process as you describe it, the model has been trained on very different noise/signal ratios and can more or less guide the generation depending on the step count, adding noise to the process makes it stochastic, but if a pattern is critical to fit the distribution correctly and the model has learned it, it will add it. There are also custom SD models that can easily generate good hands.
Hehe, even at US prices we'd break even after half a year.

It is possible that Oracle holding the patent[1] to methods on enums is the blocker, rather than any technical restriction.

I always suspected SV was full of awful, selfish, classist hypocrites. But now I have it confirmed.
It is a big breakthrough regardless. 200-300GPa is basically the absolute limit of what we can achieve.

Same here.

I’d put the table of contents at the very top of the page, so that I know to expect the whole thing.

I’d make the div for the subscribe block a different colour to make it stand out from the rest of the page.

An href link with “continue article…” that jumped down to the next section could help too.

FWIW I almost left the page and missed a really good read because of this issue as well. Glad I didn’t!
The "titans" you speak of are Jerome Powell, and Janet Yellen. Not the schmucks that put Taxis on the internet, or effectively stole billions of dollars from SoftBank to build a rental company.

> My hypothesis is that when things go bad, the poorer in society get thrown under the bus, yet the weathier get bailed out

I share the sense of injustice when that happens, and I know it has been the case plenty of times in the past and will be again in the future, but that doesn’t seem to be what’s happening here.

This action from the government is about shoring up the system to prevent a widespread collapse, which would hurt poor people and cost taxpayers much more than any direct costs relating to this action. It’s also worth considering that a huge driver of the economic turmoil that’s playing out now has been the government spending to support people - including/especially low-income people - through the pandemic, so it’s really not a case of poor people being thrown under a bus; it’s just a case of keeping the whole system functioning through very unstable and challenging times for everyone.

> Millions lost their homes during the 2007/08 financial crisis[0][1], did that have anything to do with merit, or was it (to use your phrase) "almost entirely due to the economic instability" caused by excesses on Wall Street?

There was plenty that was wrong about the way the 07/08 crisis was handled but it was a very different situation. I think it was terrible that people lost their homes, as well as jobs and businesses, through no fault of their own. It was mostly due to government regulations and bank lending practices that enabled people to buy houses they couldn’t afford. It was very wrong that the bank execs who oversaw it kept their jobs and wealth.

The SVB scenario is nothing like this. Depositors have not caused an economic crisis that will hurt poor people. SVB execs caused it and regulators contributed. And so SVB execs are losing everything and regulators are fixing it at little/no cost to taxpayers, but to the benefit of everyone who will keep their job, many of whom are low-income workers.

Yeah, I think most literary authors in North America string together teaching gigs along with grants and fellowships.

I'm more interested to see what happens to authors like James Patterson, who doesn't even write his books, but instead gives an initial idea to another writer and then acts more as an especially opinionated editor and taskmaster (and, eventually, a famous brand). Maybe that sort of author will thrive?

Most artists using NFTs for revenue are not using IG, so are unaffected by this news. NFT is in many ways anti-Meta, just buy/sell/mint directly with your wallet.

It is now dead in the water in any app, unfortunately. Apple charges 30% fee on all in-app NFT sales, and on top of that Apple ToS strictly prohibits any “functional” use of NFT tech in their apps.[1] As you’d expect, NFT markets have moved to web in general, outside of app space.

This is very cool. Would it theoretically be possible to "open source" a Google Streetview type of thing by getting "mappers" to contribute their walks around the city, with some app taking photos / lidar? In a similar way that distributed projects like SETI split the work among lots of machines (that maybe not the best analogy~~ha!)?
Pre-SVB: SV was full of some really smart people, many of whom didn't realize their skills and experience don't translate to other areas (eg pretty much anything to do with crypto) combined with some salesmen, some of whom are snake oil salesmen. Together they are more and more resembling the rest of Corporate America with performative cultures, privatizing their own luck, often having unearned bravado and increasingly perverting government to rig the game.

Post-SVB: Not much has changed.

There is a ton of misunderstanding about SVB. Some think we're bailing out billionaires. We're not. There's a lot you can criticize the governemnt for. This isn't one of those situations. SVB didn't manage its risk and fell out of compliance with its debt ratios. The government stepped in, dissolved the bank, paid out the depositors and the shareholders are at the back of the line. And it cost the taxpayers nothing.

I've long been convinced Peter Thiel is awful in pretty much every way. I hope this gets investigated because there's a reasonable suspicion that Thiel created a run on SVB, either intentionally or just accidentally. Why? Who knows.

It used to be that the likes of accountants and lawyers weren't allowed to be limited liability corporations - they had to be run as partnerships, with unlimited personal liability. (Sadly, this rule was done away with, and shortly after that we got Enron). Maybe the same should apply to banks.

My memory was that they denied it had ever happened, and my point still stands about general unreliability issues.
Turns out it is 2-4 Mbps. We don’t know the coverage area, if satellite footprint or spots like regular Starlink. Voice is doable, if crappy, in 9.6kbps.

I find interesting that it will be like 1G cell phone.
> I'm not sure about that. As a depositor I put my money in an account and forget about it. We do have to put money in an account, right?

It would be preferable if the regulatory environment would make sure that you as a depositor have an incentive to hold the bank to account.

Yes, you shouldn't have to keep a weekly look on your bank's soundness. You should be able to outsource that burden easily.

Eg with FDIC gone, private deposit insurance would still be allowed. And of course, journalists would also still be allowed to report on banks. Those stories might have a wider audience than now.
It could be all or any of those in some combination.

Or none of them.

And the fun discussion in all railway preservation forums is...which is the truly representative Flying Scotsman? It's quite amazing how hostile those debates can get for a loco that in its life of non-preservation use was transformed so many times as an operational steam engine.

> That people may have intellectual or cultural commitments hardly seems worthy of denigration as "performative".

Indeed, and it seems highly unlikely that Hobsbawm would wait fifty-plus years in order to stage some kind of self-servingly virtuous performance. That kind of dubious honor must surely go to politicians, who recycle the tropes of their adolescence into public policy that affects us all, at a distance of maybe only 30 years from their lived experience.

Side note: contra Hobsbawm, I assert that the 20th century didn't end in 1990, but on 9/11/2001.
No, that's a red herring.
Yes, the panic was pretty crazy. I realized that much of these people are actually anxious, insecure personalities who are scared of losing their significance.

There was already a baseless suit by a very sue-happy Silicon Valley lawyer -- a clear money grab -- which appears to have been largely dropped after an initial hearing did not seem to go their way. I wouldn't be surprised if this is more of the same.

Besides, I look much more favorably on a startup that is automating the filing of confusing paperwork designed to prevent middle-class folks from holding on to their money, than I am insurance companies that use boiler rooms of hack doctors to deny those same folks medical care.

That's about ~1-2 hours a year and already has to be done, because that VM has been used to run other dev services. Also with simple solutions, the benefit is that there's usually nothing to debug. It just works.

Good friends to have. It's a big club, and you ain't in it.
Extremely prissy piece-of-shit useless attitudes from the people who should know better and should be the alpha geeks leading the charge, but instead have piss & spray to spread instead. This world is far more malleable & interested in switching up than anyone rates & the little niceties everyone swears are the death of all alternatives are actually basically irrelevant: the social pressure of the leavers hasn't built up enough, hasn't materialized visibly enough, and worst-most is so very actively undermined by so many doomsaying negativity-bearing anti-trying attitudes, so abundantly on display, that defeatism dominates trying. The should-be, capable, could do folk are actively working against trying, are busy convincing everyone else not to bother even exploring or trying.

Except not really, or only partially. The network externalities Twitter is possession of, as the sole actually interconnected global platform- where any given post potentially stands a greater than zero chance of showing up for you- is a huge factor that's hard to overcome with competitive compatibility. It's the Apple iMessage of the inteenet, a miserable locked in piece of shit rattrap no one can ever escape from or improve, that the victim users have no choice but to keep using, for the circular logical fact that most other people also haven't left & to try to leave yourself would be akin to voluntary noospheric exile.

The actual costs aren't really so awful, if the geeks lead the way & actually work to subvert the rat trap behaviors. But there's just vast negativity. People fucking love pissing on good tech & good alternatives & prognosticating from the chair why it won't work, why it's wrong, why it will never work. But it's actually quite easy, works fine, it's just conservative prissy attitude & lack of try, the social fact that these doomsayer voices predestine us to disbelieve, to not try.

Thankfully I just see a ton of hope on the horizon. Intranet walled garden winter won't be forever.

the PV of a bond is the risk adjusted, discounted (at current rates) FV of the bond (and interim coupons). The losses are real, they don't magically come back, they just magically appear to realign like your ETA does as you get close to your destination after losing hours in a traffic jam.
You're basically also describing HN but yeah lots of overlap for obvious reasons.
Yes. I learned that the VC industry, at the company management level and even at the venture capital management level, had a very poor understanding of banking. Some crazy percentage of VCs used one particular small regional bank for their funds, they told their portfolio companies to do the same, and everyone even banked their personal accounts with the same bank. Somehow, an entire industry was unaware that you need to manage and diversify counterparty credit risk - even when you are dealing with banks. It's amazing to me that this could happen. I can understand why startup founders might not be aware of banking risks, since banking is not expected to be their expertise and they might have been children the last time a major bank went under. But how did the VCs miss this? This would have been the equivalent of a nuclear detonation in their industry, had the government not bailed them out. I guess we could charitably think of this as part of the process of the VC industry maturing and become a larger part of the economy. Now they'll hopefully better diversify their banking relationships, and the banking industry and regulators also got a much needed shot in the arm regarding the obvious uselessness of the "250k FDIC insurance" backstop during even a minor banking crisis.
