Apparently the Fed does not allow the operation of full-reserve (as opposed to fractional-reserve) banks:

> Some banks, such as TNB Inc. and others, have attempted to make bank models that just store all of their assets as cash at the Federal Reserve and therefore operate full-reserve banks, but they have not been allowed by the Federal Reserve to exist. This would basically be the safest possible bank, but if it were allowed to exist it could suck deposits out from other banks, threaten the whole fractional-reserve banking model, and reduce the Federal Reserve’s ability to control monetary policy.

People love to generalize this stuff and I still work with hardware all the time (gasp!)

What it really comes down to is this - you cannot just make a blanket assumption on Cloud vs Self Hosted

Generally however I believe that the hybrid approach is going to be the best for most larger companies - any highly variable workload (that benefits massively from autoscaling in the cloud) is going to be better renting servers from AWS or similar. And any very predictable workload (especially ones that require lots of compute or GPU power) will be cheaper to run on your own (think something like a GPO farm for a 3D animation studio).

And of course there is nothing stoping you from doing both and having your very predicatble and high power workloads in your own DC with your own managed hardware and then just autoscale as needed to whatever Cloud you want.

This shit always comes full circle - we had Mainframes and Terminals (basically a mini cloud) and the pendulum swung for awhile to personal PC's and now we are penduluming back again. Theres no all encompassing solution for everyone.
Great job! I love this idea.

As restaurant's customers actively trust the restaurant to not jeopardize their health.

The banking equivalent of Lastpass getting hacked and not disclosing it would be if a bank was insolvent and instead of rightfully disclosing that it instead just kept it under wraps. That would be accounting fraud and executives would be charged with crimes like they were in the Enron scandal. SVB experienced a sudden liquidity problem, not a solvency problem. Solvency and liquidity are two separate things.
This all especially true given the expected time frame a heat pump is supposed to have. No one wants to spend $14,000 for a paper weight. Whether that’s because the software disappears, spare parts can’t be found, or it’s impossible to service. Any of the above are real risks that need to be considered seriously and addressed. HVAC can also become an issue when trying to sell a house, so it’s not like trying to sell to traditional early adopters. The majority of this market is going to be very conservative.

I’d honestly just try to market to heat pump believers first who actively are looking for what they are selling. First, it’s an easier sales pitch. Second, they will be more forgiving of growing pains. Go through the 1-3 years trying to get the manufacturing, maintenance, and installation locked in before trying to sell in bulk to a larger market.

As it is, it’s just too risky for many to buy. (And for my house, it would be impossible to install).

I don't think scalable vectors is particularly useful feature, especially compared to what compilers have to go though to support it. It's much more useful to be able to do "more powerful" things with existing vector widths at hardware speeds (or perhaps just make the existing stuff faster than it is) than to be able to go wider. Scalable vectors also doesn't solve the ISA problem: don't break existing processors.

Do not alert for 30sec-3min timeouts. Get alerted during business hours before an issue would happen (e.g diskspace - usually very easy to see a disk running full before it actually happens)

IANAL, but here's some FTC guidance on this, which I read (again IANAL) to say that the transactional-vs-marketing determination is not up to the sender but up to the recipient and if they "reasonably... would likely conclude" that it is marketing. Unfortunately the guidance is just about the subject line, so Experian might be toeing the letter of the guidance.

There's lots of ways for artists to make money professionally (probably not paid enough in the corporate creative world, but nft's were never an answer to that issue, an issue plaguing a lot of industries and professions lately) and independently. I appreciate that it would be nice if everyone who painted or sang or wrote could support themselves with that passion, but if nobody is buying what you're selling NFTs weren't going to help. There's so much more than the art that goes into supporting oneself with art, and at that point it very much intersects with business.

NFTs are just one more thing to sell if you have the thing a starving artist doesn't - an audience.
Perhaps but selling their brand to the lowest bidders was just dumb.

But I think they could have continued. They certainly had a thing with Ambilight. And whatever the Hong Kong company does now, they could have done themselves in the same place (and thus for the same wages). I think it's just a lack of strategy vision.
FWIW: the "cloud based" part is the flexible bit, it's the fixed equipment that you're stuck with for two decades. I see the problem as exactly the opposite: I could in principle switch from a Carrier to a Lennox to a Nest to an EcoBee in probably 10 minutes, but I can't, because all the equipment manufacturers are shipping their own garbage with closed protocols.

So I had to fight with a contractor to get them to install our fancy new heat pump in "traditional dumb thermostat" mode, and then handed them the Nest box (which doesn't speak Carrier-ese) and put it in the contract that it had to work. It took them several hours extra to do things the "portable" way. They were absolutely not prepared even though the manufacturer claims this works just fine.

So... I think there's absolutely a spot in the market for an Electric Air that can make this work cleanly. The existing HVAC players are really, really bad at this.

Yeah, file-based keys managing millions of dollars exist in the crypto space too. “Manageable” does not mean “good”. The real pudding is this: hardware wallet users fall prey to phishing scams all the time and lose their life savings. It’s a horrible design for an auth system.

There are so many UX reasons why you would never want to conflate a login token with a key that can mathematically and instantaneously eviscerate your life savings. But to put it simply; there’s no way anyone’s grandma can use this system, wherein with something like browser Passkeys she has a chance.
You can also do both - run your own K8's and then just autoscale (during big peaks) into the cloud provider of your choice.

Silicon Valley Bank: Lessons learned from failed 'tech bank'
I would suggest "birds-eye" or something similar. That's sufficiently ambiguous that the source doesn't matter - e.g. an ortho is essentially a top-down view of a 3D-modelled surface. I guess most people outside GIS/Remote Sensing are unfamiliar with the terminology though.

The problem (I guess) is that aerial/satellite/orthorectified are not equivalent.
I still disagree.

> the history of conventional capitalism.

..is rooted in feudalism isn't it... the mentality is similar, you nearly own people who can be grateful they are allowed to work for you, and you consider yourself more entitled than those.

the only däshift is from owning people born on your soil to nearly owning people who work for you.

and as they need these frickin "brains" for their work and that makes them crave "freedom" you have to give them as much freedom as needed --- and as little as it's sufficient --- so they move cash your way.

the term neo-feudalism is well understood and has a well defined meaning, as established by the mere existence of the Wikipedia article.

what we see is a concerted attempt of some golden faucets to push the world as feudal as can be. as little personal freedom, as much bubbling-up economy as possible.

it's a pushdiwn of social market economy via capitalism back to high tech neo feudalism.
Awesome, thanks! Love the reasoning haha
For comparison on pricing, their lowest tier unit is 24kbtu and costs $10k.

I bought an LG split with 4 ceiling-mounted heat exchangers, one of them 18K BTU, and 3 of them 9K BTU, all of the plumbing and distribution box to connect them, and the outside 48K BTU exchanger, and the total shipped price including sales tax was $7,200.

The advantage of having 4 independent indoor units is the key, as you don't have to heat the entire house 24/7 and can save energy by only heating/cooling the appropriate zones. I don't see even any option or pricing for them to use 4 indoor units on their website.

Yea - when doing stuff at the scale of billions of dollars I think a fair amount of caution and care is warranted.

As far as I'm aware these are the people best placed in the government to deal with this issue. The SEC might also be an option (if you were primarily concerned about poor investment choices by the bank) but considering it involves a bank I think alerting the FDIC first and then allowing them to pursue the SEC if they warrant it feels pretty reasonable.
Indeed, the sell is so tough that it is currently the law (2019-2025, up to C$75 digital news subscription credit).

These aren't "startups that die" they're "businesses that did absolutely nothing wrong that die". Americans do not want to live in a world where a business can die through picking the wrong bank, full stop. Just because the investors in those startups don't get fleeced by a bank doesn't mean they're "bailed out".

And "startup" here is not "craps shoot on if it exists in a week" it's "a substantial percentage of businesses with VC backing in a general California geographic area but also across the country."

And yes, your point is flat wrong because you don't understand that a bailout is exclusive to investors in the direct company receiving financial support, which does not apply to the already failed SVB, nor does it apply to any depositors who are not receiving any additional money at all, just regaining access to their already existent funds.

You are misusing the word, so of course your point isn't making sense with the real definition of the term. I am convinced you don't actually grasp that.
And this is the irony of short-termist policy making. By blocking reforms in order to maintain some localized status quo, you are very often dooming the future of that localized status quo. Instead, you should be planning ahead to scale it down or transition out of it entirely, and attempting to help people make that transition smoothly over the course of a generation. Ultimately it's just another form of greed and selfishness: "my desires today are more important than your needs tomorrow."

> I think I've gotten too bored with the same challenges that app development presents.

Building the thing isn't supposed to be the challenge.
The difference is that the whole banking business model is about not never having 100% of the deposits on hand (the banking license is a license to not be 100% fully backed with liquid assets, but you have to follow special rules/regulations in return).

FTX was a different issue, because it had a requirement of 100% backing of customer deposits for example (that's why SBF was trying to acquire a bank).
This is a classic Tragedy Of The Commons.

Generally you just need two people (and then probably should have 2 more for redudancy) which would be the System Engineer and the Network Engineer. Between those two they should abe able to do the datacenter work themselves (with physical assistance for racking / moving heavy equipment which is rare). Some of the superstar infrastructure architects I have met could do both jobs easily themselves (although that is rare).

I’m questioning my reading comprehension but what’s it telling me to do?

It's why I consider Apple to have no direct competitors, which is a situation that I do not like (as an Apple user!)

Nobody else seems to be seriously targeting the exact market segment they do, so if that's the segment you'd like to be in, your choices are Apple, and... that's the entire list. The others are so far off that Apple has a worrisomely-large "mistake line of credit", if you will, against which they may draw (and sometimes do) before reaching the point where switching would be an improvement, rather than just trading one set of problems for an even larger set of problems. Plus, downward price pressure isn't what it might be if they had closer competitors. All of which isn't great.
> I've never even imagined copy-pasting straight Common Lisp code into an Emacs Lisp file.

Just go into a different namespace and load the code. The Lisp Machine I use has several different dialects of Lisp in one image. I can tell what dialect to use and it reads and evals code from that dialect. I can have two REPLs for different Lisps running side by side in one Lisp world, where I can call all operators from all other dialects.

That's basically also what was imagined for a GUILE-based GNU Emacs: it would run all of Emacs Lisp, but would also additionally understand Scheme.

> You also can't do that kind of thing between Scheme and Common Lisp for what that's worth.

Sure I can. Here I have loaded SCHEME into Common Lisp. The namespace is called SCHEME.

I'm in the CL-USER namespace:

CL-USER 8 > (scheme::define (scheme::foo1 x) (+ x 22))
foo1 defined.

CL-USER 9 > (scheme::foo1 20)
42

Now I switch over to the SCHEME namespace, where I can use the SCHEME operators like DEFINE without prefix:

CL-USER 10 > (in-package "SCHEME")
#<The SCHEME package, 774/1024 internal, 0/16 external>

SCHEME 11 > (foo1 20)
42

SCHEME 12 > (define (foo2 a b) (+ a b 22))
foo2 defined.

SCHEME 13 > (foo2 9 11)
42

> the name of the function would be the easiest part of the migration: it takes one round of search-and-replace. So the namespacing is not the problem, and it's barely a problem at all.

I'm not just talking about migrating code by converting it. I'm also talking about using the same code from one file.

> And why would you ding a language for its inability to fulfil such an uncommon use case?

It's only uncommon because you are not used to it. In earlier times even very complex source code was shareable between similar Lisp dialects.

If one adds to a Lisp lots of operators from a slightly different dialect, then it would be useful to do it in such a way that the dialect is integrated in a way that original source code written in that dialect can be shared with only a minimum of work.
Thoughts on Electricity Storage
That might be me you're talking about, I did exactly that when my kids were born.
I want to switch to Rust, to get away from the C/C++/Nim mix we rely on at work. But embedded development (specifically for the ESP32-S3 chip, but we also have to do a lot of STM32 work as well for our coprocessors) has sort of forced us down this path.

That said, the bulk of our code is Nim, and it is lovely to work in. I just wish we didn't have to rely on C/C++ libraries and toolchains as much. CMake will be the death of me, I swear, and it would be nice to have all the thought we have to put into to lifetimes and safe bindings around unsafe C calls be able to be encoded into the language itself, rather than as comments and so on.
That’s such an apt comparison!

Heat pumps can handle things by themselves down to around -10F to -15F, if correctly sized and installed.

Would you say the same thing about web assembly and emscripten? At least one of the above is based on those.

Using scientific and numeric packages from the python ecosystem is more than syntactic sugar, IMO. It seems like the JS world mostly ignores that stuff.

“I'd put ~20% chance that we are in the beginning stages of a banking crisis.”
Not necessarily. When Lloyds bailed out the Halifax in 2008 they probably thought it was a good buy, until the problems started surfacing.

You're taking a fairly decent risk taking over a bank with only a weekend to do due diligence.

And ultimately this needs to be sorted. The losers are the share holders of a collapsed bank. Which is as it should be. And I don't think they were poor, although they might be now.
This reminds me of the bad faith argument that libertarians should not take social security, or that communists should not ask for a paycheck.

It is bad faith because it willfully ignores the fact that neither person currently lives in a libertarian or socialist society. The libertarian still has to pay SS taxes they don't want to and the communist still has to pay rent.
Yes it's all his fault for the bank refusing to hedge interest rate risk. Damn that Peter Thiel.
