I was watching something recently about youtube ads and the top paying topics were all about money, videos about how to make money online was up there if not #1. You go and watch these and they all have the same content but presented slightly differently ("lets analyze X channel with Y subscribers, that channel gets $Z money per watch, its easy you just need to ...")

People are constantly thinking "I should do that" and will watch videos on it and even pay money to get an ebook or take a course on it. Maybe they start a channel, maybe they become successful?

I've seen a woodworking youtube channel turn into (in my opinion) a slimy "learn how to make money with a small biz" type of content where they just talk about their business. It feels like a lot of content is crafted to feed the algorithms for profit via ads.
This is a professional review of an academic history book. "Familiar story" means "common narrative in History of Science academia until recent years." It doesn't have much to do with laypeople.

Why is the counter demo so slow? If you are compiling to JS/React I would expect it to be close to native perf no?
You become the CEO of a small regional bank. You can draw small regional bank pay for several years until they find someone else to be caretaker or you can invest imprudently, massively expand the size of the bank and be a growth CEO with growth CEO pay until the whole thing blows up.

Which strategy has a higher expected value?
I don’t really know of many computer science programs that focus on this kind of thing. The other comments talk about little hobby computers, which is not a bad thing to learn about, but trying to apply principles from an 8-bit toy computer to a modern superscalar, pipelined, and heavily OoO machine is like comparing a toy rocket to the Space Shuttle.

If you’re interested in learning more about microarchitectural optimization I find that getting a basic understanding of how a modern processor has evolved and then reading posts like these (looking things up when necessary) can get you mostly up to speed with the area. Most people don’t use these details in their everyday code so if you’re just looking to make your code fast learning how to measure algorithmic complexity and use a profiler is likely to be much more valuable.
Brex has been promoting their business checking account, and claims it's FDIC insured up to $2.25m. Anyone moving there?
This is actually a useful legal rule to know, for everyone.

An agreement isn't binding unless both sides get something. The "peppercorn" is the legal minimum, but this is still the reason, for instance, that saying "yes I promise to do X" doesn't by itself create contracts all over the place. A trade, even if it's only nominal, must take place.
People are fine with kids selling someone some arts and crafts they made, but most people don’t think children should be making things in factories. Likewise, a school play is completely different from the life that most children actors live.
In the link you provide, you can see that most median small businesses hold an average of ~30 days of cash buffer. This would already put them over the $250k threshold.
Yeah, it may well be that the threshold wasn't calibrated properly.
That unicorn machine had better not use unicorn data transfer. Transferring an average of 100Mbps from S3 to your unicorn? That will cost you $1-3k / mo depending on how you configure it and what tier you’re in. Never mind that buying the hardware to sustain these data rates at home or in the colo is so cheap as to not even be worth mentioning and can easily be done on 20-year-old gear.

Of course, those prices to rapidly up if you use serious data. Want to train your fancy ML model to draw cats based on your giant data set of customer cat photos stored on S3? Want to do it on your nice nVidia box at home? That, by itself, might cost as much as an expensive Silicon Valley FTE who could manage an entire installation in a colo facility nearby.
I probably gave up on using a feed reader about then. Instead, I subscribe a few things I care about by email, and hear about some things passively through social media.

The idea is that I can't keep with via email, I don't have time for it. For a while, I used "feed to email" for the services that didn't offer an email subscription, but I've since let that go.

Now I feel like I don't have time for "one more place for news" to add back a feed reader into the mix.

But I'm open to being convinced I should give Feedly or something else a try!
If somebody manages to get the scale right, it should be a bit less expensive, you get to eat freshly cooked food and you know most of what you put in it.
Also if people don't already know their way around a kitchen this is a pretty effective way to learn I would think.
Virtually every Uber already has one or more cameras inside to monitor the passenger. It's even a feature of the driver app to do this with the phone on the dashboard. Companies like Google have far better track records with their internal privacy controls than random Uber drivers and I'm at least somewhat hopeful that US lawmakers will get their act together on regulating the use of the data.

As for safety, have you ever been in an Uber? Waymo at least is already meeting that bar.

>How do you convince a bunch of blog authors to switch from 'free-to-air' and searchable everywhere RSS feeds, to move into closed social media platform?

I don't think the idea was to convince bloggers to switch, but rather to stop one good distribution channel from potentially competing with social media. Google kept Blogger alive, because people can still publish there AND distribute links via social media.
It’s indeed very complicated in any case. My understanding is a vast majority of the funds to cover the depositors is/will be coming from (1) the eventual sale of SVBs assets, which is worth an unknown amount given the FDIC must sell all assets within a few years (3-5?), and (2) the $250k insured amount from FDIC’s DIF. Short term the FDIC is providing an advance dividend to cover as much of the depositors as they can.

Where the remaining amount is coming from, however much that ends up being (an unknown), is an unknown as far as I understand. It could come from a “special assessment” (a way for the FDIC to collect additional money from banks)… of which some could possibly be passed down to consumers eventually I think, indirectly, or just worse terms. If so it might be a relatively small amount of the total assets, but I have no idea - depends on the sale of SVB’s assets.
Personally, I'm not trying to save time in the cooking process; I'm trying to save time and hassle in the ingredient-buying phase: deciding what to cook, figuring out what ingredients I need to buy to cook that, finding them in the shop, working out what to do if it turns out that the supermarket is out of spinach, etc. Plus my closest supermarket doesn't have much in the way of stock, so I'd have to go further to get the kind of stuff meal kits tend to want.
You know most grocery stores offered a delivery service years before SV decided to turn it into a business model. It was a mostly unadvertised service that grocery stores ran (and likely still do run) mostly for the benefit of 'shut ins', people with disabilities or ailments that prevented them from leaving their homes.

The way it worked was pretty simple; you'd call in your order, or sometimes use the store's website or email, and the store would have one of their baggers/etc collect the requested food from the shelves and drive it out to your home. It was a free service paid for by the store, although I believe there was an expectation to tip whichever employee was using their personal car to actually make the delivery. To reiterate, the service was intended for people who couldn't go to the store themselves, not for yuppies.
I don't look down on them. I do wonder about them though.
Ask HN: What VLDB does your company use?
A customer of mine are evaluating databases for their both OLTP and OLAP workload. The data is expected to reach several Petabytes in size and hundreds of Gigabytes IO per second. I am interested to learn what database do you use for such workloads? And what was your experience in terms of maintenance?
This comment made me think.
Everyone I know (30something urbanites) uses meal kit services when they get an attractive sign up offer, and cancels shortly after the subsidized initial period has finished. Then after a few weeks or months they might sign up with a different meal kit service when a sign up offer becomes attractive enough. They cycle through the services in this way, because the same service seems happy to give the same customer a new sign-up offer if enough time has passed since they were a subscriber.

I don't know anyone who is a loyal customer to any meal kit service and is paying full price.
> My prof developed a production SML compiler that's fairly widely used

MLton? I've been playing around on-and-off with a non-production SML compiler and MLton is such a fantastic resource.

This is just a hobby for me, but I have read (and own) several different compiler textbooks. What I really want is one that focuses on compiling functional languages down to assembly.

This trend has been going on for a while. Here are some snippets, some about personal experiences and others about the shortage of qualified teachers (obviously this leads to teachers not even knowing anything beyond what is presented in the textbook). Another major problem is violence permeating into schools which disturbs academics outside the school and within.

Also, this is not unique to the US. Other countries are also seeing an incursion of "achievement stickers" for everyone in lieu of academics.

Is that 3.5% an actual figure or just an example? I admit that it is much higher than I would have expected (which was on the order of 0.1% ~ 0.01%), did SVB offer that kind of interests?

Personally I like when code gets defactored*. Defactoring removes undocumented abstractions, call proxying, dynamic dispatch, higher order args, boolean args, utility source files, etc, to a reasonable extent. Code wtfness is its total length x complexity^2 / documentation. Successful defactoring leaves you with less wtfness for a reasonable amount of time.

Re-factoring may increase (in-/en-) or decrease (de-) it. If it becomes self-opinionated, buggy and slows you down, that likely increased. Textbook refactoring usually trades amortized length for complexity, not the other way round, but that’s okay because they take it from a “completely flat code” perspective.

So it really depends on your coeffs in that formula and ideally should be managed by someone who tracks these indicators. Not by a passer-by whose taste was offended that day.

Personally, I agree with your view-point.

However, the law you are proposing would prohibit a parent from posting an image of their child winning the spelling bee, in a full suit.

LLMs will never be AGI
Yes they do. Internet if full of it. Usual intention is to show it to friends and family. In 99.99% of case, no one outside of family cares at all. The photos of kids posted on public albums nobody cares about are massively outnumbering youtube starts earning money on making their kids into internet stars.

The issue is trying to ban an innocent thing - photo of a kid in state normally seen in public vs "making kids perform for camera, encourage them children to form participate in parasocial relationships with the audience".

No kid ever build parasocial relationship by having photo in family album, even if public. And photos of kids are as old as photography.

One could make regulations about monetization of such things I guess. Monetization does not just happens randomly. You have to enter into contract with social network to send you money, you fill taxes. That could be workable, theoretically.
Not urgent. With the government guaranteeing deposits, SVB might be the safest bank in America (at least for this week).

I agree with others that you should be diversifying over the medium/long term, but I wouldn’t be racing to do that today.
Vacuum-packed pre-cut potatoes are stable too (but it uses plastic then)
They aren't, which means liquidity will be a challenge, but there are always sellers who have no choice and must sell (death, divorce, job move, etc). New home builders also contribute to new comps, depending on the market and land availability. Supply is going to be a mess due to the cost of money, land, labor, and materials.

Don't expect a crash. It's going to be a slow stagnation burn.

Regarding a16z, that’s rich they want to help renters but at the same time, the founder is privately NYMBYing in their neighborhood because it might hurt their property value.
This isn't really feasible. Bank executives will fill fight the regulations that stabilize their bank against market swings, and citizens will demand that the government do something when irresponsible bank executives lose their life savings. Banking regulations, like most regulations, are written in blood, but for some reason, the banking sector is the most adept at getting regulations overturned.

So the resulting system is a patchwork of solutions that force the government into the role of rescuer. It's just too difficult to get most regulations to stick long enough to prevent another banking crisis. Barring a Constitutional amendment to create a banking "tsar" with broad authority and who reports to no-one (i.e., non-political), the best solution we have is to have the government step in when banks inevitably fail.

I don't think they're stupid, I think they say what they're paid to say via the old fashioned benefactor -> foundation -> employment bribery scheme.
>What was the point of NATO, to attack Russia? If that's what you're implying I don't agree

No. It was to destroy the Soviet Union. And it mostly worked!

>My point is that it definitely is one-sided. It's only one of the sides that have invaded the other after years of threatening of doing so. Russia has also done similar things in Georgia and Moldova, and the Baltic countries that have a sizeable Russian population would have an even better reason to be scared right now if they weren't part of NATO.

All of this is Russia big-dicking its influence in that area. Just as I said before.

>USA isn't feeding Ukrainian soldiers to anyone, that's again falling into the narrative that Russia wants to use that Russia is fighting the west. Ukrainian soldiers are protecting their country just as Finnish soldiers did less than 100 years ago

Ukrainian soldiers are hauling ass out of the country and being conscripted into the war (just the other day a young man committed suicide rather than go to war)

>Nobody has asked for an invasion of Russia, the win comes when the invaders leave where they don't belong.

How do you stop the "invaders" from coming back again then?

>I agree that it is a very fucked situation, which is why Russia's aggression needs to be condemned and can't be allowed to succeed.

I agree it is fucked. I don't agree that Russia is a maniac country just doing crazy attacks willy-nilly. These have been thought out. And there is no innocent country on Earth. That is propaganda as well.

Russia is doing two things from my perspective. First, displaying that if NATO moves military bases close to them it is going to cost. Second, they are trying desperately to retain influence in that area that they used to have back when they were the 2nd super power on Earth, but have since been passed by China.
Linus is the only one I can think of given his level of job security. Maybe Woz, but I don't think he doesn't seem to be a professional coder today. Perhaps Stephen Wolfram. Everyone else seems much more disposable than even B-tier rock/pop stars, relatively speaking. Bill doesn't count given he likely hasn't touched any code himself since the 1980s.

I've heard of multiple language and framework designers who failed to score a job when it really should have been a slam dunk. There might be rockstars among the foot soldiers of tech, but virtually none outside of that.
The Electron Is Having a (Magnetic) Moment. It’s a Big Deal
Here's the key bit:

Through our partner banks, customers get access to a sweep network that provides up to $3M in FDIC insurance by spreading your deposits across up to 12 different banks, including Goldman Sachs & Capital One, without requiring you to open or manage separate accounts.
Any other big tech CEOs want to sell some computer screen glasses for legacy purposes? Reed Hoffman? Brian Chesky? Reed Hastings[0]?

[0] Ironically, Netflix might actually have the best reason to do this. You can't switch to Amazon Prime if your TV goggles doesn't support it.
So the new DIND bank created by the FDIC is an actual bank? Not just some kind of temporary org until everyone withdraws their money?
That is actually a very important observation about Google: products that Google engineers wouldn't elbow each other in the face to work on will eventually shrivel up and die.
BitLocker has a recovery mode, either through your Microsoft account or through a 48 digit key that unlocks the disk on any hardware. If you have a dual-boot you will run into this from time to time, its not a big issue.

This kind of insult can only come from a completely smug and stupid guy. Taking a text out of its context, not guessing the humour I was putting in it and deducing from it that I'm crazy to be cured doesn't make you any better. I don't have time to waste with guys who can drop such rubbish for the sake of rubbish and self-promotion.
Economically mass producing microchips is only possible because they are 100s of square millimeters in size and very valuable per square mm. Any bigger than that and error rates in the fab process start to destroy the yield.

These fibers are used in much bigger applications like body armor or mechanical composite parts where the surface area is on the order of square meters, not millimeters.
Hopefully, it captures the public’s interest.

I think AR sounds more interesting but getting any product that consumers will pay for will accelerate the development of the technology.

We’ve been waiting a long time.
You're correct, in that it was not immediately clear whether SVB warranted the systemic risk declaration. However, it should appear clear that fear is very contagious and it has never been easier to move tens of billions of dollars of deposits with just a few button clicks. This poses a sincere risk to banks not already declared Systematically Important Banks (SIBS). The Treasury and Federal Reserve correctly intuit that it would cost far more to the real economy, and to tax payers to cover the cost of SIBs then it would be to signal that uninsured depositors will be made whole.

Your claim that "those who believed in the honesty of the system got burned again", is not entirely true. Equity and debt holders have been completely wiped out. Compared to the Trouble Asset Relief Program (TARP), in 2008, this barely constitutes a bailout. Furthermore, if the Frank-Dodd stress test requirements for banks with greater than $50 billion had not been relaxed in 2018 to $250 billion, then SVB and Signature bank would have been seized and sold off well before there was this bank run. It is clear that even smaller regional banks need to face the same rigorous stress tests that SIBs face.
When it earns money? When you just post video on Instagram, there is no way you will get money magically. You need to enter into contract somehow. That goes for any social network. Literally none of them will send you money unless you actively initiates it.
