Yes your second guess is accurate. They will be changing pricing down the line when enough of the market is captured and competitors have been deterred. Most notably, Microsoft's largest competitor: Google.
Is this an example of solipsism in the wild? How remarkable
> You might be “mansplaining”. Think if you may have told her things or explained things she may have already known. She may perceive you are insulting her intelligence.

Probably she is perceiving it wrongly?

Explaining things to a coworker seems pretty normal, unless you're unnecessarily repeating yourself and they already told you they got it, or is intentionally public like in a meeting

No matter how much experience they have, everyone knows some detail others don't

I always run through a colleague how I have done X, not that they don't know, but they might not know, or they might suggest improvements, either way more than one person gets informed

Especially in business, you might have to run the same process dozens of time with the same people until it is clear how it is going to be implemented

Accusing someone of explaining too much seems like overreacting. A more worrying problem would be under explaining
In the bargain you get a brand new identity, provided by the French state.
Some large T-Bill backed money market funds are avoiding T-Bills with maturity around the debt ceiling date. This is because they need liquidity to ensure the 1-1 dollar parity.

What will likely happen is, T-Bills with those maturity dates will have a higher risk premium and trade at lower values. People like Warren Buffet will gobble them up because they are still zero risk if you are willing to hold them for a few extra months while the debt ceiling issue is worked out. If things get really bad, the fed could offer to buy them with a haircut to ensure markets have liquidity.

The T-Bill is the cornerstone of the global financial system. Even with a technical default, no one believes the government won't eventually pay. And if you believe they won't, you should be buying physical gold, guns & ammo + food stuffs because it would be Mad Max'ish were that to happen.

The real issue is, if the government is in technical default, the credit rating agencies will downgrade the UST bill. That will result in higher interest rates on ALL government debt as it eventually revolves through. That means less money for existing programs.
The traditional example is the question "Have you stopped beating your wife?" Whether the respondent answers yes or no, they will admit to having a wife and having beaten her at some time in the past. Thus, these facts are presupposed by the question . . .

I can't wait for the movie of this whole situation, assuming we still have a society capable of making Hollywood films.
A house anywhere outside the coasts?
Ah yes, just as it would be wrong to single out Hitler for capitalising on latent anti-Semitism that already existed, and the real problem with WWII is that Germany wasn't successful enough in its expansion to prevent pogroms...

Leopold introduced a policy of paying his (non-native) soldiers based on the number of severed hands produced, FFS. I doubt the kingdoms that existed beforehand were wonderful places that never arbitrarily killed anyone, but you absolutely can blame him for paying bounties for evidence of sufficiently prolific indiscriminate killing/maiming, and generally being one of the most despicable humans to have ever lived.
I've been working on my portfolio/resume for a long time, so all there really is left to do is nitpick, so I don't mind at all.

I agree that maybe I can do more with the bullet points. I can think of some higher level things that "JSON configuration file"

I also agree with the "Professional Summary". I hate it. I workshopped it with some people and this is what we came up with. It sounds so stupid and now I'm thinking the move is to leave it off completely.

Could I ask what you mean't about my portfolio looking like I'm a front end developer? I'm pretty sure the majority of my projects are either Full Stack, electron.js apps, or have embedded components.

Oh but I have been out of that restaurant 5 minutes after I noticed nobody was doing anything related to food. They don't need to microwave the lasagna.
The reality is that fossil fuel is still necessary, choosing to not work in the oil industry doesn't change that. If suddenly no people chose to work in the business under some belief that it would be morally wrong, then what would happen? Wide spread energy crises, affecting everything from heating to transportation/travel and all production chains.

I don't think anyone except the most hardcore climate activists would be willing to accept that cost, so I don't think it's consistent for anyone except these to judge negatively people who choose to work in this industry. This doesn't change that we as consumers should try and use as little fuel as possible, opt for renewables where possible etc., that's the only way to guide the change. If we do that, the market will take care of the rest as the conditions allow it.
> Edit: if you don’t like the 10b5-1 rules as they stand, feel free to submit a comment to Gensler and Co at the SEC.

The SEC already tried this. Courts have ruled that you can't be charged with insider trading for not executing a trade, but the end result is the same: just set up plans that you cancel if you don't want them to trade. Can't remember the name of the court case but shouldn't be too hard to find by Googling. SEC has tried to tighten the rules by requiring that cancellation of any trade cancels the whole plan, but their hands are also tied based on court rulings.

"It's just a basic search (like Ctrl + F).

For example, if there's a story called "ChatGPT's API Is So Good and Cheap, It Makes Most Text Generating AI Obsolete" and I have the keyword "GPT", I'll receive it in my feed because the title contains "GPT" in it.

There's also a "-whole-word" option, means it will match if the keyword is a whole word. I use it for monitoring stories with "AI" in the title.
After reading this article my take on the situation substantially changed from the typical (here) "idiot bankers put all their assets in HTM instruments".

ianab but I get the impression that when you're operating a bank you think of depositors and loans like a SaaS service would view subscribers. You want more deposits same as we want more subscribers. Having got more deposits you set about lending the money in order to make a profit.

Most businesses that don't go broke take on "steady state" characteristics -- month to month the money coming in and going out is much the same. Hopefully rising a bit each month, but mostly tomorrow is the same thing as yesterday.

That would be the case with a typical big bank. e.g. my businesses bank with WF. We have some amount of cash on deposit there that varies through the month and the year but long term averages to some near constant. Once the bank has thousands of businesses as clients all those deposits' noise will smooth out and as someone running that bank it looks like you can rely on having some $$$ of deposits, always. In this situation you don't actually care whether you put the money in liquid or HTM instruments because net nobody is going to withdraw it anyway.

Here's where I think SVB went off the rails : their customers were not normal businesses. This meant that the assumption that deposits would remain roughly static was not valid. That's because a large proportion of the deposits represented startup burn fuel.

Deposited funds that starts ups are burning through will only remain static if there is a constant flow of new start ups. That wasn't the case in the last couple of years as the free money environment dried up.

So now you have big net outflows from SVB because no new start ups are being funded, but the existing ones are still burning their money.

And then it gets worse because all the depositors are part of the same close social network and therefore can organize a run quickly and easily.
Also I can generally pick up the previous generation used at a discount as the new stock is about to come in. This is especially good on big ticket items that people seem to crave having the newest version of. i.e phones, TVs, computers.
> Congratulations, you are now a robber.

Yeah, but in the future the government will know your precise location, all day, every day, so at least you'll have an alibi.
Browser rendering should benefit from better CPU or GPU. And if you use VS Code as editor then that's essentially a browser-based workload as well.
These startups are kind of the backbone of the tech economy, you'd think this would be a case where the government says "too big to fail" again.
I can't imagine myself using such old hardware.

It is cool and I like it(old thinkpads are awesome) but the slowness would hit me every time I do something a bit more intensive(like browsing the web with hundreds tabs). Maybe it is related to the fact that now I have really fast hardware.

Also it really depends on your use case. I have a VM heavy workflow which benefits from the insane amount of RAM I have in my laptop and the number of cores.
ControlNet already fixed that, you can constrain it to change colors and nothing else.
They'll hike up the price by 10x once enough companies are relying on it to do business.
Is the latter how we get the former?
A reminder that the unwind process will not be immediate.
The bank will open in some capacity Monday, with some access to some % of balances. The full process could take longer than that.
I guess if you squint, it kinda is, in the sense that it generates one token at a time.
Lots of people also look at their phones while driving, disown their kids for being gay, and protest against bike lanes. Just because lots of people do it doesn't make it right.
Could we please stop doing gain of function research in mammal/bird viruses anyway? That'd be great.
To a first approximation, yes.

The second approximation has significant differences, but that's an ok first pass at it.
She said she wasn't but she was clearly linked. The anti-abortion protests that lead to the law in the first place commonly claimed to be "prayer vigils" and she went into the buffer zone, outside an abortion clinic to pray.

I can see where you're coming from but at the same time it was a clear attempt to get as close as possible to protesting without breaking the law.
> I don’t know why you are being downvoted.

This argument is generally used by people to defend bad institutions. I've heard Confederate apologists makes the exact same argument you have here ("Look at the Union treatment of Native Americans. All sides in the Civil War were immoral.").

There are gradations of bad behavior. Treating bad behavior as if it's all the same just encourages a race to the bottom.
As soon as there’s a reliable base of foundational services/orgs/products/startups built on top of it.

Just for everyone's interest, (and based on 2022 pricing) you can get an espresso in an Italian bar for $1.33 (Trento) all way way down to $0.96 (Naples).

Having tried the US and the Italian versions, I'd take the latter every single day of the week and twice on Sundays over the US version.

The iPhone camera is tuned for realistic color unless you've left the style setting on Vibrant. I guess it doesn't have an "even less vibrant" style.

It does have higher than real contrast, but that's because images are 8-bit - if you don't try to fill the range, it's going to look low quality with banding artifacts.
He first gave the finger, then I'm guessing gave him a two fingered chin flick. At least when they had the jack hammer confrontation.
This is a market grab. They are moving fast to capture the market. Being cheap allows them to capture the market faster.

The main customers won’t be end users of ChatGPT directly, but instead companies with a lot of data and documents that are already integrating the apis with their systems.

Once companies have integrated their services with OpenAIs apis, they are unlikely to switch in the future. Unless of course something revolutionary happens again.
Large language models are having their Stable Diffusion moment
You realize how absurd the discussion of array start index is when you learn Fortran arrays have naturally had arbitrary-start-index for over three decades: a(-9:0), a(0:9), and a(1:10) are all valid declarations of a vector of size 10.
I was a little unclear maybe. What I meant was that there's no clinically proven benefit of racemic amphetamine versus dextroamphetamine.

Racemic amphetamine is certainly an effective treatment, that's been well proven.

Silicon Valley is pretty famously nice out most days. (Except for all those old strip malls in the way of the nature.)
It was one of the 15 largest banks in the country.. if depositors lose money here, every bank in US better be ready Monday morning as every company moves all of their funds to one of the top 3.
There are still a few people in the world who don't have always-on gigabit internet access everywhere they go.
These are Chicken Little scare tactics, and it is disappointing he chose that.

I wonder how much of YC's reputation was destroyed yesterday by this self-serving attempt.

It is unlikely that these companies won't have access to enough of their deposits to make payroll, and even if that rare case occurs there are many many alternatives available to them-- bridging from their VCs, from private lenders, etc.

Tan yesterday sounded a lot like that Zero Hedge guy back in 2009.
The Arab slave trade took more slaves than that over the course of twelve centuries. The transatlantic slave trade only existed for a few hundred years. The event that led to the slow demise of Arabian slavery, the Zanj rebellion, occurred a thousand years before transatlantic slavery even existed.

In short, the Arabian slave trade did benefit, but it was on the way out by the time the Europeans got interested in colonial slave labor. Don't make the mistake of thinking everyone in the world got involved in the slave trade then got out of it at the same time.
It's not a Markov chain because by definition a Markov chain only looks at the previous word. ChatGPT looks at a long sequence of previous words. But the general idea is still broadly the same.
Do we really need cameras at this point? Remove cameras, and just ask user what he is taking photo of, then generate the image.
Answering that properly would require a theory of quantum gravity. However, the answer is plausibly never.

Such an evaporation would be a form of electron decay. Under the current understanding of particle physics, electron decay is impossible without violating conservation of charge or mass (as the electron is the lightest of the charged particles). Empirically, we have never detected electron decay, and it does not occur often enough to cause significant problems with our current theories, so it would need to be a very rare process.

Additionally, all electrons are, to the best of our abilities to measure them, equal in energy. This means that a hypothetical evaporation process for electrons must be a quantum event. Specifically, Hawking radiation causes black holes to evaporate by emitting quanta of energy. It is not unreasonable that there exists black holes such that there is no allowable quanta of energy that could be emmitted, so they simply never evaporate. In such a model, you would expect black holes to evaporate down a minimal size (possibly one of many minimal sizes), then stay at that size. This would be consistent with the electron being (one of) such minimal black holes.

It is possible that all elementary particles actually black holes, and are stabilized by the fact that Hawking radiation is a quantized process. When you think about it, this isn't even that different from our current understanding of why particles are relatively stable. Any hypothetical decay path is quantized, and there just aren't that many available things to decay into.

That is helpful. Thank you.
gpt3.5-turbo fails the turing test due to it's constant butt covering. Davinci can pass for a human. I am speaking only of the API responses. The "chatgpt" web interface is something different.
"With 3,016 neurons and 548,000 connections, called synapses, the result is by far the most complex map of a whole brain ever made."

"Researchers have also mapped 25,000 neurons and 20 million synapses in the brain of an adult fruit fly, but this is still just a partial [map]"

"Human brains have an estimated 86 billion neurons and hundreds of trillions of synapses"

The scales at play here are hard to imagine. This is very interesting but it seems the most interesting facet is the completeness, and not just the absolute scale.
They have variable costs that aren't dependent on the distance. Some planes take off in 10 minutes, some planes have to sit for 45 before they can take off.

This all also assumes that you will always be able to fly directly to your destination on the selected day. If you end up diverting or getting delayed, or if certain routes make that _more_ likely, then this wouldn't be a win at all.
Step 3 also includes raising prices once people have integrated the API. Google Maps was the "easy" and "cheap" way of integrating maps into apps until they got almost all the market share and raised prices through the roof.
I had to go with amphetamine because dexedrine was unavailable in my area.
Right, but the bank didn't invest 100% of its funds in MBS and t-bills; IIUC they had plenty to manage their projected operations cost and regular withdrawal / deposit activity. What changed is the panic / bank run. The panic sank them, but it'd sink basically any bank because no bank keeps enough liquid assets to clear all its deposit obligations.

... so SVB not only didn't have cash, it didn't have assets people were willing to buy / loan against to cover enough withdrawals to stop the run even though those assets had guaranteed ROI, which is interesting to me. Not enough lenders / potential creditors think some 10-year T-bills (and bailing out one of the biggest banks in the country on the lender's terms) is worth it?

Interesting.
Pretty sure it is just numbers in a mongodb.
Get a grip on what? Presumably the implication is not literally putting civil rights in a camp, just as much as one does not literally get a grip on an imaginary (say) railing.
If you think about it, large criminal structures need to become like governments, otherwise they are unstable, so it’s in their best interest to have rules and be fair within themselves.

One interesting limit case is what happens if everyone is a member of such a criminal organization? There’s no practical difference between a government.
I suppose if you were able to dissolve these tons of excess salt equally across the total ocean volume this wouldn't be an issue. But it has to be dumped back in somewhere, and the local salinity increase in that area even if only temporary should still be considered.
If React + Node is your preferred stack, I would say NextJS on Vercel + Supabase is the closest to meeting your requirements. You'd still have a local env, but the other points are taken care of. Auth is particularly nice with this combo. Check out their docs: https://supabase.com/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts...
A couple months might be too soon imho. But I hope that in 2-3 years there will be a model with similar performance but much smaller size, small enough to run incredibly fast inference + training on my laptop. OpenAI might need to rethink their moat in case that happens.

Think about all the smart ML researchers in academia. They can't afford training large models on large datasets, and their decades of work is made obsolete by OpenAI's bruteforce approach. They've got all the motivation in the world to work on smaller models.
If anyone has experience here: not paying wages is not the same as "letting someone go", "laying them off", or "firing" them, right? So if you have employment contract that has a signing bonus that needs to be returned if an employee willingly leaves within a time period but then the employee stops getting paid they can't leave the job without being on the hook for that signing bonus, right?
> Hype is what startups do. Because hype is valuation and the path to exit with $$$$.

Hype is a short term drug and has a very rough landing.

> So ... is the hype just a legitimate "vision" for the company/product? Or is it outright fraud

This is the hard part of being a tech investor. It's also what motivates me as a founder. I don't want to sell or invest in hype. I want to make customers happy and my employees and investors wealthy because my customers are happy and paying. I might be naive, but growth to me is a symptom of doing it right, not just spending boxcars full of money on marketing and opinion shaping and then selling to some unfortunate private equity company before the whole thing falls apart.
Wikipedia includes a breakdown by state so you can see by what percentage Wilson won in each state at the time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1912_United_States_presidentia.... He didn't have the majority in most states he won and didn't even have the majority of the popular vote overall. His lowest winning percentage was 32.08% in Idaho. Beating out Taft by a bit over 1%, Taft had 31.02% of the vote. His margin against Taft was not substantial in many of the states where he didn't have the majority, so depending on who Roosevelt took votes from (likely more Taft voters than Wilson voters) the election could have been substantially different.
Many years ago I had parked my white SUV, with smart keys, in a San Jose Fry’s parking lot and went to do some shopping.

After I came back, I went to my SUV and touched and opened the door, which I attributed to smart key, and sat inside.

It felt different, leather was brown instead of original color, dash looked different, etc. I was confused so I came out and realized it was not mine but another white SUV that was parked next to mine. Saw a guy giving me a weird look. Quietly went to mine and drove away.

Probably the guy had unlocked his car just before I’d entered, not sure.

Luckily I was in the Bay Area and not in a handgun friendly state, otherwise who knows..

I looked into this sort of thing a while back. And, while I have bonds including tax exempt ones, I came to the conclusion that it made sense to keep a 10% or so holding in my brokerage's sweep fund. The difference between that and messing with CDs and high grade bonds just wasn't that much. I series bonds from TreasuryDirect probably do make sense at the moment but you can only invest relatively modest amounts.
Not that I don't believe you, but you mind linking some? the best I could find was wealthfront cash, which is isn't a savings account but is giving 4.05% apy. Which is pretty good, but inflation's up at like 6.5%, so it's still a bit of a net loss
