Both SSRIs and stimulants can absolutely result in permanent changes to the body, as do hormones.

None of these drugs are free of risk, but refusal to undertake effective treatment can also cause negative permanent changes to the body indirectly, so simply doing nothing isn't free of risk either.

Im betting mRNA vaccines will replace all traditional vaccines, provided there are not any long term risks found.

Many traditional vaccines contain live, weakened bacteria or viruses, (or dead ones which can become active) which can actually kill someone.

mRNA uses a natural mechanicism for protein synthesis to create proteins that the body recognizes as foreign. The immune system then develops a response. So if a virus containing that protein enters the body in the future, you already know to attack it.

People don't understand what a game changer this technology is for human health.

I'm sorry what? This is absurd take, to think of hotels as a recent invention where they have been "new and cool", like social media. Hotels are just a formalized way to provide temporary accommodation for money, which has existed as a class of business since trade has existed. The wayside tavern in ancient villages is an exact 1:1 analog with your travel inn motel today.

That’s an oversimplification. Saying that it’s error prone because you have to write in two places is akin to saying that using a checksum is error prone: you have to write now the vale AND the checksum! More opportunities to make an error!

Doble entry accounting is very similar to a checksum in that sense. It provides error detection. If you make a mistake in one of those two places, you will know immediately. As opposed to single entry, where you can carry that error indefinitely until somehow you catch it.
These people love “creative destruction” except when it’s happening to them.

One of the differences between a central bank and regular bank is that the regular banks should do the riskier stuff and offer the higher interest rates.

This in theory creates a diverse non-correlated system of capital deployment with the best projects winning over the bad ones.

However when the central bank offers interest rates that a private bank cannot match even when it's deploying into safe and endorsed assets like MBS then some weird stuff happens...

The Fed can promise risk-free returns at whatever rate they want but once it exceeds the private banks', then the banks no longer serve any purpose. If there were a way for individuals to hold accounts directly w/ the Fed, they'd all do that. Money will be sucked away from banks that deploy capital in the private sector and squeeze into ones that just passthrough to the Fed's like money market funds.

With high enough interest rates, the Fed can end up sucking up liquidity even from good and safe projects and cause widespread asset collapse b/c the entities that are supposed to be doing price discovery can't compete anymore.
but why would you do C++ when its quite clear ML load is highly parallel. the page says vectorized by NEON but no mention whether its autovectorized by gcc or hand optimized. That will have a pretty significant performance impact.
Is total assets a useful measure here? I would be more interested in a chart that showed budgetary shortfalls. It sounds like SVB is only short about 10% of total assets if I am remembering what I read earlier this morning.
Okay I can see that. So is the issue that we are so deep in a fractional reserve system that any change would cause a blow up?

In other words could an economy started from scratch function with a fully backed reserve system?

16GB of vram can run the 7B for sure, I'm not sure what the most cutting-edge memory optimization but the 15B is going to be pretty tight I'm not sure that'll fit with what I know of at least, I've got it working at a bit over 20gb of vram I think at 8bit.

If you can't fit it all in vram you can still run it but it'll be slooooow, at least that's been my experience with the 30b.
Yes, it's possible. But saying "guy that played himself into burning $44 billion on a website that makes no money, just so he could force all its users to read his shitposts" isn't the way. It just reveals their biases.
I think his position is a little more nuanced than that.

>The bottom line, what I did violated the laws governing copyrights. I don't agree with those laws 100%, but they were designed by people with lots of money in their pockets to keep lots of money in their pockets, so I doubt they're going to change for the better any time soon. This is why I'm a huge advocate for the open source community.

They have a little. But his main point is that debuggers distract developers from seeing the problem as a whole rather than just understanding what's going on the vicinity of that problematic line. So, the debugger incentivises small, targeted fixes rather than bigger solutions for more systematic problems.

That aspect of debuggers hasn't changed in 23 years, because that's the whole point of debuggers anyway.

Some projects are better off with a debugger and some developers are more productive with them. But also the other end of the spectrum exists: projects that are better off without and developers who are more productive without them. Not liking debuggers don't mean someone is stupid or inexperienced.

I'd even dare say that's more likely an experienced developer to not use debuggers as much as people earlier in their careers. Seasoned developers working for a long time in the same code base are more likely to have insight of what's going on without stepping through the process execution.
My guess is that you could attempt something like this by recording system calls as your program executes and then replay them in whichever order you need.

You would need a lot of storage space for some programs, but in simple cases that might still be useful.

So, in your example, playing the program back wouldn't really try to read from a closed socket, it would just hit debugger's database of stored system calls at a particular point and retrieve the stored response from that call.

This could get weird though if the program modifies itself as it executes. Not sure what to do in such case, but maybe there's a way to deal with it in special cases, not in general...
Actually I have 3 children from elementary to high school age. Only my eldest has a phone. We got it for her for our convenience as she is often participating in activities with unknown end times.
That's why it pays.
Excellently said.

On top of that: there is no meaningful risk that these startups will not be made whole in the coming weeks. Given the absence of risk, there will be plenty of lenders competing to provide these companies with liquidity for a relatively small slice of the pie, should it even come to that.
I was instantly reminded of the same. I can recommend the documentary, it's the first time I saw an actual example of scientific fraud at this scale.
Yeah my bad, everyone is a bit all over the place with the numbers in this thread.

I find it funny that we expect AI-du-jour to qualify as equal to human brains when the first has been trained on a slice of content for a bunch of hours and is then getting compared to wetware that's been trained for at least a decade.

Recently stuff like ChatGPT is challenged by people pointing out the nonsense it outputs, but it has no way of knowing whether either of its training input or its output is valid or not. I mean one could hack the prompt and make it spit out that fire is cold, but you and I know for a fact that it is nonsense, because at some point we challenged that knowledge by actually putting our hand over a flame. And that's actually what kids do!

As a parent you can tell your kid not to do this or that and they will still do it. I can't recall where I read last week that the most terrible thing about parenting is the realisation that they can only learn through pain... which is probably one of the most efficient feedback loops.

Copilot is no different, it can spit out broken or nonsensical code in response to a prompt but developers do that all the time, especially beginners because that's part of the learning process, but also experts as well. Yet we somehow expect Copilot to spit out perfect code, and then claim "this AI is lousy!", and while it has been trained with a huge body of work it has never been able to challenge it with a feedback loop.

Similarly I'm quite convinced that if I were uploaded everything there is to know about kung fu, I would be utterly unable to actually perform kung fu, nor would I be able to know whether this or that bit that I now know about kung fu is actually correct without trying it.

So, I'm not even sure moving goal posts is actually the real problem but only a symptom, because the whole thing seems to me as being debated over the wrong equivalence class.

Physical distances are "uncountable" only if physical space is infinitely divisible. If there's no continuum, and if reality is granular -- even at a resolution well below the Planck Length -- then all physical distances in space are countable.

Digital infinity is by definition countable. There's no reason to assume that anything in our universe is actually uncountable -- as far as we know, it can all be simulated mathematically without invoking Cantor's hierarchies.

This isn't necessarily a finitist position. It's just to say that the uncountable infinities don't necessarily interact with any known universe -- digital or otherwise.
Given YC’s obsession with web3, maybe it’s a good thing.
Seriously? You think that if people insinuate plagiarized stuff was theirs but don't say so, that's not a problem per se. I've seen this loads of times. You don't think insinuating is a very bad character signal?

I absolutely disagree. Far-right forums also has a strong empowered leadership and it doesn't make them pleasant for you or I to go. It's also a product some people prefer, just not us.

Absence of hierarchy and ruler is also the norm in Usenet, and the community as put processes for everyone to manage lunatics without the need of a central authority.

"Freedom", or rather control, allows a community to choose for themselves. I don't agree with everything here, for example, and I don't have the power to change things, but that's alright because I can live with that. On the other hand I have my own Fediverse instance which means I can choose what I see and what I don't see. I still believe it's important.
> Even if the extremely unlikely scenario plays out and companies are unable to make payroll, employees are very unlikely to walk out, it would make an inconvenient situation (no pay) much worse (terminated) in an already challenging economic climate. Anybody with the financial means to walk away because payroll has been missed is someone with the financial means to ride out a few weeks waiting to be paid.

Even if employees don’t walk out, they can file a wage claim and collect penalties. Any retaliation for filing a wage claim is illegal and would result in more penalties.
> This sounds like a huge amount of money and I can't imagine YC has that much cash lying around.

And even if it had had the cash, the cash might have been at SVB.
I went thru something similar in my MechE bachelors…

Around my sophomore year I finally found green engineering pads. I believe they were TOPS brand. At $4-$5 a piece, they were definitely much more than my k-12 $0.10 on-sale spiral notebooks & stolen printer paper. I filled up dozens of them & love them to this day.

I also bought high(ish) quality laminated folders & further reinforced them with Gorilla tape. This also came after using fairly janky ones most of my life, & not being able to find anything that satisfied me once I went for something new. I still use many I made in 2017.

If you haven't looked at them before, the Rhodia dotPad or Top Wirebound Notepad might be a fit for you and usable in either orientation. Rhodia's "pad" products seem to all have perforated pages (they tear nicely) where the "book" products are non-perforated.

Edit: the wirebound has an A4 size page option, the dotPad has an A4 and a longer-than-A4 option. ~$10-16 depending on color and where you order, Amazon is not the cheapest option out there.

> To nitpick, simple ABS is an improvement over locking some of the wheels

In direction control, sure, but you are getting less braking out of it. The earlier ones could be outbraked by skilled driver keeping brake just at the edge of wheel locking, but that isn't the case for the modern ones, precisely because it can brake each wheel separately

> A dumb ABS system with just wheel speed sensors can't tell if [0,0,0,0] means all 4 are locked, or if you're stationary.

I'm actually curious how they deal with ice, you might be breaking but still getting near zero decceleration from it. Then again if it is that slipper it doesn't matter all that much...
I get that. But for these sort of "stone soup" use cases, it's not really a technology for creating software. It's a technology for helping people manage feelings. That's surely a valuable thing, but that's very much not what it's being sold as.

If the Twitter saga has shown anything, it’s that companies can afford not to pay on their contracts, at least in the short term. Amazon will give them a grace period because a customer paying a few weeks late is better than the customer going belly-up.
Hear me out: shouldn't venture capital be providing backstop capital for it's ventures? The money is there, and will eventually be unfrozen; the individual startups only need access to make the next one or 2 payroll runs.

"When there is a run on the bank, it's important to be first in line."

Bank runs are fascinating psychological dilemmas to me. On one hand the SVB CEO was correct - everything would have been fine if every depositor hadn't run for the door. But, when a bank says "please don't run for the door", it's already too late.
Agreed. Also, my figures for eink power consumption are very uncertain; possibly you were able to take measurements or get good datasheets, but I couldn't.

A thing I didn't mention is that there are actually eink applications that have lower update rates than this. Store price tags, for example.
Whether or not the Fed's behaviors are excused is not the topic of conversation.
FDIC isn't stupid; they're issuing IOUs and these companies can borrow against the IOUs. It's not like this is a minor bank failure; everyone knows about it.
Yeah, but you're pulling that 50% number from thin air. How many companies do you think actually have 50% of their customers banked by SVB?

SVB had ~$200b in total assets, less than 1% of the total assets in banks across the U.S. alone.

There are definitely going to be indirect effects, but HN and other voices in early-stage tech are predisposed to overestimate the impact on the broader economy.
parameter tuning is pretty necessary, according to anecdotes. People on twitter have got good results by changing the default parameters.

I've been on board the "patents need to be repealed or significantly toned down" train too, but, the legitimate counter-argument that I see is that it's going to lead to a rise in "corporate secrets" style stuff.

If they can't legally stop people from republishing IP, then they'll make it hard. Denuvo, other DRM, or just go to fully streaming-only for the first year or two after launch. Want to play Battlefield 6, subscribe to PS Now. And this will likely hit PCs harder than consoles since de facto there have been near-zero hypervisor breaks of any relevance in consoles since the PS4/XB1 era, everything is signed and encrypted and TPM'd to death.

AMD's SVP for datacenter and embedded has talked about how their Secure Encrypted Virtualization and other security features are actually coming from work on consoles, to the datacenter market these days. And now there's Pluton coming up too (although apparently there have been some serious breaches in TPM 2.0 very recently that may ruin a lot of the pluton work as well, we can look forward to windows 12 I guess!).

So far, the EU hasn't been willing to apply their rulemaking on iphones to video game consoles yet, and tbh that is a far more noxious case of "you don't own the hardware". And that's what PCs might turn into if IP law vanishes, the practical security measures would ramp up to compensate. And no, consoles aren't being sold at a significant loss in the way people think they are. PS5 is sold at a profit, Xbox Series consoles might be sold at break even or a small loss, or it could just be hollywood accounting for the purposes of making a legal argument at the trial to get apple's ecosystem broken open. They had a financial interest in being able to argue that the ruling shouldn't apply to them and that their equally-locked-down app stores shouldn't be subject to competition or user freedom in general.

I don't understand how you can say this is an unlikely scenario. It is very likely, because a large number of startups are using one bank and that 250k won't cover much of their burn rate.

It also puts you in a terrible position to raise bridge rounds and other financing. Every investor and lender isn't incentivized to give good terms.
I still do things for the thrill and because I can, and I'm well into adulthood. That's what makes life fun and interesting and there doesn't have to be a 'point' that anyone else understands.

This is sort of the polar opposite of how modern high performance ML frameworks are built. Skimming the code, there's a ton of boilerplate for the various operations that could be library-ized and generified, if that makes sense.

I actually really like minimal implementations of state-of-the-art systems because the code is much easier to understand (modern frameworks are super-complex) but I wonder what it means long-term if you don't need frameworks.
Is this a good guess as any?

* With-in a week or so uninsured accounts will get 40-60 cents per dollar

* In years when the liquidation process is finished they will have gotten 5-20 cents more in addition per dollar

* Shareholders will get nothing in this scenario

Are there any better guesses or any flaws that makes this guess unresonable?

It's an interesting reward mechanic for the bankers, "heads I walk home with big bonuses, tails I go home with a big severance and our customers get screwed".
There is a reason why the FDIC limit is $250k and not a infinity symbol. The Fed's job is not to bail out every single entity that knowingly held assets in a risky manner.
At least you're able to acknowledge your mistakes. For your employee's sakes, I hope you're able to make next payroll.
And you think that the bank just keeps sitting on that cash until you withdraw it again, paying you interest in the meantime?
