It's really interesting how slow the rollout of these chips has been - there are so many steppings! There really must have been intense engineering challenges. I found A B0 Sapphire Rapids CPU on eBay for 100$ back in September 2021!

Hey guys, I was so inspired by the llama.cpp project that I spent all day today to build a weekend side project.

Basically it lets you one-click install LLaMA on your machine with no bullshit. All you need is just run "npx dalai llama".

I see that the #1 post today is a whole long blog post about how to walk through and compile cpp and download files and all that to finally run LLaMA on your machine, but basically I have 100% automated this with a simple NPM package/application.

On top of that, the whole thing is a single NPM package and was built with hackability in mind. With just one line of JS function call you can call LLaMA from YOUR app.

Lastly, EVEN IF you don't use JavaScript, Dalai exposes a socket.io API, so you can use whatever language you want to interact with Dalai programmatically.

I discussed a bit more about this on a Twitter thread. Check it out: https://twitter.com/cocktailpeanut/status/163504032247148953...

What do you think abt localized app store screenshots?
1000 people are forced to roll a 10,000 sided dice. They roll a '1' and they die.

At the end one person is dead.

Clearly since that one person followed the sector wide regulation and polices rather than anything that targeted that specific person, it is evidence strongly in favor of the problem being with that person, not the dice game. Were this a problem with the game or the dice or something like that, we would expect to see a lot more damage.

Instead, the only thing we see is one person who lost the dice game voluntarily rolling the dice at the improper starting position and velocity that cannot be easily rolled to the correct number.

Clearly this isn't the same, but the logic you've used doesn't parse and in any case the full fault is unlikely to be fully the fault of government nor the bank. And it remains to be seen if the dice game is over...
That they can go bad is not in doubt. The comment provided an example of this.
Regulators unveil plan to stem the damage from SVB collapse
I'm not sure it's as simple as that if the fed don't guarantee deposits, but we'll see tomorrow I guess. The impression I had was these assets can't just be sold right now, today, without booking substantial losses.
Nah, Dems are too skittish to support their investments. If the Republicans investments were at stake the bank would have gotten their instant help, direct from taxpayers. Plus the setup would work in such a way that it’s only the taxpayers in the Democratically voting states that would actually see the increase of their taxes.

> it’s going to have a lot of downstream impacts

When Netflix started sacking animators and animation studios to use AI startups instead, there are downstream impacts.

When bookstores shut up shop because of Amazon there were downstream impacts.

When Dell and HP lay people off because it's hard to sell against Azure and AWS, there are downstream impacts.

You're going to have a hard time arguing that the sector responsible for disrupting others' live deserves special consideration beyond what already exists - FDIC plus liquidated assets with a likely haircut - particularly when those companies appear to have been mismanaging their own money.
Good for you. This isn't about you and how great you are.

This is about how allowing kids to work will require your children to work to support the average family.
That’s an incredibly bad analogy. A more apt one would be lobbying FAA to give up pilot mandatory rest time for regional jets (eg. ERJs) as “they’d be too expensive compared flying with wide bodies 777”

You can't just lock on the file operations, since this problem comes from thread interruptions. No interrupt, no problem. So, instead you need to make file operations and _any_ thread interrupt mutual exclusive.

Finding and patching all possible locations which could interrupt your threads doing file operations is probably a foolish effort.

So, raising the limit, or load balancing (depending on the type of application) is probably the best solution.
Judging only by the screenshots it feels like this library is embracing the same "modern" design as mobile apps. Huge buttons, lots of whitespace everywhere.

Thank you for calling them raw files and not images.

Too many people think of raw files as analogous to slides shot in film cameras. In reality they are digital representations of the analog voltages made by sensors. In order to “see” a raw file it has to be processed which usually means demosaicing and assigning color to values based on what the camera manufacturer has provided. Oh and of course different displays will reproduce colors and brightness levels differently as well.

In reality there isn’t any such thing as an unmediated digital photograph. What is being done by smartphone cameras is a little further down the processing curve but is on the same continuum of “regular” digital photography IMO. This second test shows to me that Samsung is trying to give the photographer as sharp a picture of what they took a picture of.

And analog photographers shouldn’t get but so smug about capturing the “actual” image. Even if you shoot transparency film or collodion wet plate the resultant image is still mediated by the materials. Color reproduction, contrast, and of course the translation from 3d world/object to 2d are still enormous manipulations. Taking a picture will always be transformative compared to the original subject.

So what is considered an “accurate” photograph will always be a philosophical question. IMO I wouldn’t what Samsung has done to be “fake.” A lot of these arguments really sound like DSLR owners being upset that decent pictures can be made with pocket cameras.
So all of the people who banked with SVB and benefited from the excessive risk the bank was taking (perks, higher interest rates on savings) get a freebie , must be nice.
When did you try it out? Textual is still at zero-ver but has come a long way recently.

You can build menus and dialogs with Textual with a little effort, but you are correct that there is no explicit builtin widgets for those yet. The type of apps we've been building are more like web-apps than desktop apps, which is why we've eschewed the classic menu bar and drop down menus. But I'd expect to see both in the widget library (https://textual.textualize.io/widget_gallery/) soon.

I don't know what you find unpleasant about async. Personally I enjoy async. But you barely need to use async with the current iteration of the API. See this example in the docs https://textual.textualize.io/guide/widgets/#attributes-down No async or await in sight.

Re "magic methods". I guess you mean the message passing system, which uses a naming convention rather than names defined in a base class. This is because you can send arbitrary messages from one widget to another, and if we didn't use a naming convention you would have to implement your own dispatch method anyway. Yeah, the downside is that tooling might not pick up on `on_click` and similar messages but the convention is staightforward enough.

CSS makes a lot of sense to lay out a TUI. You can get a dynamic layout up and running in minutes, and refine the UI by tweaking a few lines. It lets you iterate faster, and separates the logic in your app from the presentation. Similar benefits to the browser.

I'm not aware of Textual ever leaking memory. If there was a memory leak, I'd make it a priority to fix.

Ultimately though, I'm glad you built your TUI.
Ash HN: Why don’t the VCs buy SVB?
From what I’ve read, SVB has bonds with lower interest rates than the ones currently offered. The bonds they have aren’t worthless but SVB isn’t liquid enough to handle the bank run. Why don’t the “VCs” that are using SVB extensively just buy it and reap the benefits?

In what way is this remotely fascism?

> "then they deserve to be out of business!"

If you can't afford the things that a business needs, you go out of business. If you can't afford coffee, cups, electricity, water, rent or taxes, you don't get to keep your coffee shop long.

I want a gardener and house keeper, but I don't get to have them because I don't want to pay for those things. If someone can't pay three employees what their time is worth, why are they entitled to have those employees? Replace a person with a computer if you can't afford a person, or scale back in other ways. Don't punish employees for lack of business acumen, maybe unless you plan to compensate them extra when times are less lean.
Yes, it clearly isn't the same. In the first place, we are not talking about randomness. Your example is facile and your copy and paste sarcasm is both unwelcome and against the rules. I'm done here.
Only an insider would be able to answer this unfortunately.

Only that thing is a fucking dumpster fire, quite hilariously so actually (some nice friday evening light entertainment on there).
Yes, I like this “eating your veggies” metaphor.

For what it’s worth, the most plausible scenario I can see where SVB doesn’t collapse is something like “Their lobbying isn’t successful, they are required to undergo rigorous Dodd-Frank testing, because of this they are forced to get a risk officer, the risk officer armed with the kinda-worrying stress test results convinces SVB management to at least ratify a liquidity strategy even if they don’t really want to act on it, when they go to sell bonds and raise capital they present it as part of this liquidity strategy, the VCs see the strategy and aren’t as spooked, so the wave of withdrawals fizzles out instead of becoming a bank run - but inside SVB it gets way closer to a full-blown run than anyone outside realizes, and this scares management into executing on the liquidity strategy”. That’s an absurdly long chain of events and it’s very easy to step off that path at any point (or just get unlucky) so I still think it’s unlikely, but if I had to give an account of how SVB hypothetically survived, this is what I’d give.
It doesn't matter, the criteria to apply the Defense Production Act of 1950 don't refer to a state of war in any way; it applies to activities which the president "deems necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense".
Intel must feel pretty bad about messing up the whole chiplet thing since that advantage allowed AMD to overthrow them in just under a couple of years. And it seems like they still seem to be adjusting into it since compared to Zen 4 SKUs, SPR seems like a horrible design that won't scale well (and doesn't according to pretty much all benchmarks).

AMD can simply make a smaller core and release a new CPU with 128 cores (Zen 4C -- higher density core clusters consisting of smaller Zen 4 cores [with less L3 than a normal one]). On the other hand, for nearly every Intel CPU it is a whole new design/engineering mess.

I hope they don't fall to behind on this, otherwise we might see yet another monopoly (e.g. AMD not releasing a consumer grade Threadripper is the first indication that they kind of feel safe on this side since even their multiple years old SKUs offer far more value brand-new SPRs).
The owners of the bank aren’t being bailed out. The FDIC is only paying back depositors. That is the working class. This bank doesn’t just cater to big bad VCs.

When depositors lose their savings through no fault of their own the whole system comes crashing down. That won’t help blue collar workers.
A Poem for Hacker News
Hacker News, oh haven of the tech elite,
Where knowledge flows and ideas meet,
A place where coding geeks can share,
And inspire others to boldly dare.

Here, the latest news and trends abound,
From the cutting edge to underground,
The future of tech is on display,
In every post and comment on display.

From AI to blockchain and more,
Hacker News is the place to explore,
Where minds unite and ideas soar,
And innovation takes center floor.

So here's to Hacker News, a shining light,
In the world of tech, forever bright,
May its community forever thrive,
And push the limits, constantly strive.

PS: I didn't write this poem. ChatGPT did.
They should have seen ClosedByInterruptException in the logs and the whole mystery would be resolved much faster.

“Interest” is not the same as “risk with investment.”

In this post I've read A LOT of incorrect population decline estimates. Here is a paper from The Lancet - not retracted, that I know of - that charts the populations of the present day through 2100 for almost all countries in the world:

"Fertility, mortality, migration, and population scenarios for 195 countries and territories from 2017 to 2100: a forecasting analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study"

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S014067362...

Click on the large 'View PDF' button to read the paper; there is no paywall.

The wildly incorrect statement that China's population will halve by 2035 is very much off base:

> The reference projections for the five largest countries in 2100 were India (1·09 billion [0·72–1·71], Nigeria (791 million [594–1056]), China (732 million [456–1499]), the USA (336 million [248–456]), and Pakistan (248 million [151–427]).

China will become the largest economy starting around 2035 but the US is once again forecasted to become the largest economy starting around 2098, according to that study.

With the semiconductor on-goings (both by the United States as well as a the EU) over the last six or so months I think this changes the calculus on this, though.

I am wholly against child labor in all its forms and posters who are arguing that bagging groceries part-time after school as a middle-class kid is somehow equivalent to working in a meatpacking plant (a slaughterhouse) or on a construction site are either woefully naive or are arguing in bad faith.
> Headcount and age. Etsy is a +1,000 employee company that's been around over a decade. Practically bedrock by Valley standards. I personally draw the line between "small" and "big enough to know better" at 100+ employees (around where the EEOC draws the line for mandatory reporting). I acknowledge people may disagree on this topic; that's where my line happens to be.

To be clear, Etsy is not my concern here. They will probably survive just fine regardless of whether we deem them to be responsible or not. That's part of the point. The sole question was the sellers, and trying to examine why they inspire more sympathy to similar-sized companies that may be directly banking with SVB. Hence my question of whether the mere existence of a legal entity is the difference, given that in fact many Etsy sellers do of course have simple LLCs set up. I would fine "Hey, Etsy sellers need to look into Etsy's bank to be responsible too" consistent with "3 person YC companies need to be responsible about the bank they choose", or acknowledging that's a tall order for both. But not one and not the other, was my only point here.

> Yes... That's what SV just did to its ecosystem due to over-reliance on one bad bank because "optimization is king" is the mantra of the whole machine.

If it puts your mind at ease, I think the result is going to be the same regardless of what happens to depositors: everyone now will try to spread out their money and sweeps will become part of startups 101, etc. In that sense, the system has worked: the irresponsible bankers are being punished, they and their investors lost their bank. I promise no one is going to wake up and say "well, glad that got magically solved" and not be super paranoid going forward. If anything, if depositors aren't made whole, this particular demographic is more likely to, to your point, over-optimize in that direction (perhaps create investment vehicles to short regional banks or something, who knows).
I mean sure, but when it transacts it will be marked to market, it won't be just valued at the original hold to maturity so fed will take a loss. Also, fed is trying to shrink its balance sheet, presumably.
