You don’t have the democratic freedom to fuck with everyone else’s day, and night, and day and night for weeks.

And the thing is, AFAICT there is no “guy who PayPal’d $10 and got his accounts frozen”, so if there’s no outcry, if people like me dismiss it, that might be because it didn’t happen.

From here it looks like you bought into the ‘freedumb!’ narrative, that any action taken to deal with the situation was bad. We had people here on HN lamenting that with the invocation of emergency powers, Canada had seen it’s last election, they would never be rescinded and that Trudeau was now a dictator for life. The whole thing is hyperbole built on childish notions of freedom that are pretty incompatible with the democratic functioning of a country.
Your didn’t answer my question. If I had an account in SVB, and I put a 100k in it, why would SVB take my 100k and invest it? That was the whole issue with FTX. Investing it whatever asset class, my money shouldn’t have been invested unless I give permission to SVB period.

Most banks don’t really like working with startups and sometimes freeze their money over AML controls that don’t play nicely with investor checks. If there’s a way to purchase insurance against this risk, I’ve never heard of it, and it’s probably too expensive for early stage startups.
Yep.

>Despite recent success in large language model (LLM) reasoning, LLMs struggle with hierarchical multi-step reasoning tasks like generating complex programs. For these tasks, humans often start with a high-level algorithmic design and implement each part gradually. We introduce Parsel, a framework enabling automatic implementation and validation of complex algorithms with code LLMs, taking hierarchical function descriptions in natural language as input. We show that Parsel can be used across domains requiring hierarchical reasoning, including program synthesis, robotic planning, and theorem proving. We show that LLMs generating Parsel solve more competition-level problems in the APPS dataset, resulting in pass rates that are over 75% higher than prior results from directly sampling AlphaCode and Codex, while often using a smaller sample budget. We also find that LLM-generated robotic plans using Parsel as an intermediate language are more than twice as likely to be considered accurate than directly generated plans. Lastly, we explore how Parsel addresses LLM limitations and discuss how Parsel may be useful for human programmers.

It was a panic becaaue they realized the bank was vulnerable and so their money was vulnerable. This wasn't an irrational panic, it was the kind of panic you experience when being chased by a bear.
Yes. I have been using ChatGPT quite a bit with programming tasks. One of the things I've been trying to do is using chain-of-thought prompting to ask the model to review its own code, line by line, evaluating it for the presence of a certain type of bug or some other criterion.

This has been illuminating: as ChatGPT steps through the lines of code, its "analysis" discusses material that _is not present in the line of code_. It then reaches a "conclusion" that is either correct or incorrect, but having no real relationship to the actual code.

I do find that hopeful. I assume the hardest jobs at the moment would be the senior positions. These companies still need projects moving but also don't have much cash to pay, so the senior are first to get axed. At least, in my thought.

I have a brother whos a licensed electrician. When he was doing his on-job training, he always had steady work but once he got his full license and pay raise, he found himself getting laid off every year. The company would get less work for the winter and they axed the seniors right away.
>The US government made $15B from the 2008 bailouts.

if we ignore the hundreds (at least) of billions $$$ that the fed created and flooded the world economy with, in order to make that $15B "win" possible.

Thank you for the response so late on a Saturday night. What you said makes sense and is entirely reasonable, but there are times to be unreasonable. SVB just failed! The community's verdict didn't need to be followed when Elon was taking over Twitter; that story that stayed up far longer than it would have naturally. Is that more important than making payroll for hundreds of small businesses? Actions speak louder than words.

Let the story live, just be transparent and pin a comment at the top saying it is staying up because it materially affects the company that runs this site. The community is able to understand. Frame it as intentionally paying for an otherwise free service because you want it to continue to exist. Make the front page 1 story longer while it's up if it's about the sanctity of the front page. This community is reminded it's an arm of YC because of how jarring it is every time there's a job posting on the front page and we can't comment on it.

You've done such a great job stewarding this community, time to cash in on the good will you've banked, for our benefactors.

Whatever you decide I'll respect your decision, but I felt another perspective might help.

It's not an accident that the "V" is often read as "vulture". The only way to prevent someone from stabbing you in the back is to stab them first.

People often equate finance to gambling, because even the terminologies overlap: you don't make "risky investments", you "place bets". But that's too simplistic a take, because there are two MAJOR differences between finance and gambling.

1: In finance you gamble with other peoples' money. Not your own. And when your bets go the wrong way, you ruin lives of thousands of families. Not just your own.

2: If you manage to find a loophole and turn the letter of a contract against the spirit of the contract, in finance that's a cause for celebration and a big bonus. ("Well played.") In gambling, that's called a breach of regulations.

Both are amoral, highly utilitarian ecosystems.

You are correct, no nested virt support on macOS or Asahi. The rumor is this could be coming eventually to Asahi on M2, and maybe a future macOS release - but until it actually does it's a pretty huge drawback of apple silicon that is rarely mentioned.
Do you mean that you don’t agree with the criticism, or that you don’t understand why someone would dislike the story? I feel like the former is the more understandable sentiment, since the latter is just a matter of personal taste.

After a quick read of critic and user reviews through metacritic, the complaints seem pretty consistent regardless of how I personally feel about them. A ton of them say the plot was barebones and predictable. Even the glowing reviews from critics seem to mention that the plot only gets the job done.
> Self-publishing has been a godsend for those who like to explore.

Exactly this. I tried "living the writer's life" 15 years ago ... but it didn't work out. The rejections hurt. When I discovered self-publishing (first lulu.com, then Smashwords) I went all-in: having the work available to whoever wanted it became more important to me than daydreams of wealth and acclaim.

I've never made money from self-pub (I give my books away), but it's nice to know that my work is being downloaded and (I assume) read across the world - even if it's only in small numbers[1].

One thing is that TikTok uses your search and view history for delivering the videos most ROI for you.

Other thing is what it's do, when no history is accessible:

Just use the most viewed Videos as start. Or, may be conclude out of other users local to you, what might be of interest in the very moment and the very place.

User settoschool is right. Anti China Propaganda is where you think of being influenced by the Chinese propaganda in the first place, rather assuming a "simple" algorithm that shows what happens and what is watched around you.

> The bank was capitalized fine (albeit with underperforming treasury assets given interest rate increases) until it got $40 billion in withdrawals in a day.

You, like many others, are counfounding the trigger (Panic Withdrawls) with the cause (Lack of Diversification and bad risk-management in general). And the withdrawls come after their sale of assets at a loss of 2Billion+ "following a larger-than-expected decline in deposits" (This was their declaration for the fire sale, so no it was not capitalised so fine). Ofcourse this type of operation would cause panic and 40Billion in withdrawls after this type of declaration was to be expected and accounted for.
It is still quite obvious, except maybe when ML model used to enhance an original artwork.
Had the same thought, but why would they choose to reduce bank risk unless they already knew about the liquidity gap?
So essentially what you're saying is people should open a new account for every $250k they have, so their money is insured. Insane that this is something that people now need to worry about.

The problem isn’t using tools at all, it’s using the wrong tool.
I think that’s fair. I hope we do see that and other details of how this all went sideways come out over the next months and years.

I assume though, that like any black swan there were many things that went wrong together. Lately at work, I have been telling people that one in a million happens eight times per day at just 100 requests per second! Shit is going wrong in small ways all the time. So you design for that — but eventually in a big system enough of those minor failures will line up to cause something you notice. You probably remember that huge facebook outage in 2021? Lots of things went wrong and then they were locked out of their own conference rooms. The financial system is different parts at a different scale but the same theory of failure applies.

Not smoking guns, more like a bad bet here, and a stupid decision there, and one dumbass VC influencer gets jumpy and runs his dumbass mouth in slack and bobs your uncle bye bye SVB.

This answered directly to a comment attempting to differentiate religious from other imperialist practices. I can only see "aboutism" in this, but no "whataboutism" – that is, maybe in those arguing it may be just like any other argument they do not appreciate.
> The level of polarisation around Brexit, BLM, Covid 19, politics, climate change, trans rights, etc is huge

I get this and I've had a version of this happen in my life.

However I constantly keep going back to and reflecting on the privileges that allow me to choose not to engage with Black Lives Matter or trans rights.

And trying to figure out how I feel about the inverse, meaning people who have the privilege to ignore something I can't like Covid 19.

I guess the tone of this makes me uncomfortable because it would be very easy for someone to put their head in the sand and disconnect from life or death struggles of others?

Something like that.
They'll certainly get bridge loans to handle that if they're fiscally sound. And there's no indication that "there's nothing left, and everyone has lost everything above $250k", it'll just take a while, and they might lose a few %.
Yes. Though it might be better to say that they are very consistent with their writing style, snobbish attitude, and ideology. Vs. hit-and-miss at times with good, accurate reporting.
That is their promise, and I've ready previously that they do have some audits that verified it (unlike Tether, which used to make a similar claim).

However, another important question is what actually happens to that dollar - are they actually able to wire you that dollar if you hand them back 1 USDC? For 3.3bn of those dollars, we know they are not currently able to, since those 3.3bn are tied up in SVB, which isn't itself able to wire them to anyone. Hopefully, the rest of the them are more available, but it remains to be seen.
Thought of trying to finish the story yourself? Just as an exercise?
Reading "rooted in counterculture" on the website of a luxury car. I don't think they know much about this term.
> Wouldn’t we expect a lot of orgs to suddenly start caring if they have more than $250k in their accounts and start spreading it out over the next week, or removing it from banks entirely and putting into treasuries or other assets?

I’d expect big orgs to mostly have money in banks specifically for reasonable cash needs (or temporary inbound flowthrough), and to have it in treasuries or other assets otherwise, but I wouldn’t expect to see much change. There’s no news here impacting accounts in other banks: the $250K insurance limit isn’t news, and there’s no reason to think that SVBs particular concentration of assets in long-maturity illiquid assets that have lost value is systemic rather than sui generis.

The ripple effects that will occur, I would think, will be more through companies that were dependent on SVB than companies with money in other banks.

Just splitting your assets over two different banks would cut the risk in half (almost). And entrepreneurs should have a very good sense for when something is "too good to be true" like APY far higher than what other banks can offer. The most likely explanation for higher returns is higher risk.

Bottom right corner (took me a while to notice it so near the text).
I grew up listening to my dad’s vinyl records and remember buying my first CDs in the early 2000s. I also remember borrowing backpacks full of CDs of jazz and classical music from my local library when I was in high school and ripping them to MP3 so I could keep them with all the music I was getting from Napster.

I’m one of these people who likes to listen to full albums. At one point I had a few thousand ripped as quality MP3. In college there were campus peer-to-peer ways of sharing music and my collection grew a lot.

In grad school, the streaming services came out. The streaming services like Spotify have some major downsides. Sometimes things go unplayable. Stuff is missing. Stuff is changed/censored without warning. The UI is optimized for whatever Spotify wants to show you, not what you want to listen to. I assume it makes sense for Spotify to optimize their costs by suggesting stuff they pay less for. For someone who likes albums, the little annoyances add up.

I recently pulled my dad’s record collection out of his attic. It’s about a thousand LPs from the sixties and seventies. Stuff I like since I grew up listening to it. I’ve spent a few months browsing Discogs and buying bargin-bin vinyl and CDs (lots of scrolling, filters are useless). I’ve bought about five hundred CDs and maybe a hundred vinyl records over several months. The majority of the CDs are $1–2, and the records are mostly under $5. It all comes via Media Mail, shipped for a few bucks. One of the packages came from Brooklyn and had been inspected by USPS to make sure it contained only CDs. One package came from Jamaica and the vinyl sleeves had a bit of fine sand. It’s a cheap, fun hobby.

Now I’ve got a hard copy of just about any album I want to listen to. I like the physicality of taking the CD out of the case and nudging the sliding tray in. My CD player is a 1988 Realistic I found at a music store and it sometimes skips if the disc has deep scratches. I like the unspoken social job of turning the record over. I like that the current CEO of Spotify, and the next CEO, and whatever government wants to, can’t see what I am playing on repeat today.

Since returning to mainly listening to physical media, my experience of listening to music has improved and I enjoy it more than ever. I got home the other day and the internet was out, and I didn’t even notice for an hour since the first thing I do now when I get home is put a record on
Next time I do one, sure. The stuff I use is meant to repair rear window defrosters, Loctite 3863.
There’s no way that TBs of ram will be accessible to the average consumer. Even in the previous decade we did not see any improvement. In memory availability. There has not been any need to go further than 32 GB for the general public for a long time now and even the average consumer does not have more than 16.

There must be a real necessity for that to happen, and I do not see how LLMs provide substantial benefits to push for a change.

I'm not sure what kind of content OP saw on TikTok, but the fact that many Americans (or westerners) think that any thing positive about China or Chinese people is CCP propaganda tells you just how much anti-China propaganda they've been drinking.

It's a country of 1.4 billion people. Nothing good ever happens there? Everyone there spends every hour thinking about how to destroy America? Every Chinese citizen is evil?

People love to call out Chinese propaganda whenever anything positive is posted about China but they themselves don't realize how much propaganda they're consuming.

TikTok isn't that much different from Reddit, blogs, Discord servers of your choosing, etc. It delivers content you have interest in. Whatever you spend the most time watching, liking, reading/commenting on, searching for, etc. is what will be delivered, because the app's goal is to keep you in the app. If one gets something political or empty in value, skip it or press and hold to select Not Interested. Searching for specific topics and following creators will quickly create a more curated feed.

There's absolutely rigging involved, and some things that "go viral" are hand picked to do so. But that doesn't mean the users are powerless consumers which have no choice over what is shown on the FYP. My personal feed is apolitical.

I have three vinyls I think, that I've never played because I don't have a player. The first one I got as a gift, and the others I bought because I liked the artwork – they're like paintings to me.

I keep meaning to get a player, but I can't find one that strikes the right balance of price and aesthetics. The Bang & Olufsen Beogram 4000c has the right aesthetics but probably way too expensive. I've been trying to find one but they're hard to come by in decent condition. Probably because B&O sourced them all to do their recreation project...
