I'm one of the weirdos who doesn't have a smart phone. What are my options?

I went to the page on "configuring 2FA for your account" at https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/securing-your-acco... and it was ... not that helpful. All of the options seemed to depend primarily on mobile phones or text messages.

I guess I need to use text messages?

The linked-to article says there are other options, like physical security keys, but the GitHub page says:

> After you configure 2FA, using a time-based one-time password (TOTP) mobile app, or via text message, you can add a security key, like a fingerprint reader or Windows Hello.

and at https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/securing-your-acco...

> For GitHub, the second form of authentication is a code that's generated by an application on your mobile device or sent as a text message (SMS).
That requires we know how each node behaves and the kind of inputs it has, which we're very very far off from...
You can, until they break down or burn. So you’d have to bury them deep underground to keep the carbon trapped. But it would make way more sense to stop digging up the carbon already trapped underground than to be digging it up and burying it at the same time
Both rely on an "oracle" so probably not decentralised at all.

I mean it's not Narnia, you can ask people who live there. I've spent a lot of time in the MENA region. The countries of the Arabian peninsula who are comparably wealthy to the US are practically crime free. When I lived in Amman, the capital of Jordan when the population was a quarter(!) refugees, other than some petty theft in touristy places violent crime isn't really a thing. It was a safer place than a significant amount of American cities.
I believe that Authy's encrypted backup is to their cloud service. If you are only going to need to access backups from your Apple devices you might want to consider a TOTP app that stores its backups in iCloud, since you presumably already are using that.

Of course this doesn't matter it all if you aren't going to use backup, in which case I can't think of any reason not to use Authy. As far as in-app TOTP backup goes you may not need it. I'll get to that later.

A good TOTP app for Apple devices if you want something that can backup to iCloud is OTP Auth. It can save/restore/sync with iCloud. OTP Auth also supports making and restoring from encrypted backup files which you can save using the usual share options.

Both Authy and OTP Auth support Apple Watch which is handy.
You might not actually need in-app TOTP backup. When I set up a TOTP on a new site I save a copy of the QR code PNG on my Mac. I keep the collection of such QR codes in an encrypted file (which then automatically ends up in my Time Machine backup and my offsite backup). If I need to set up a new TOTP authenticator or restore an old one I simply decrypt that file, open all the PNGs files, and scan then.

If you don't have a large number of accounts that is not much trouble. I think I have maybe 20. I open the PNGs all in Preview, set it to show one per page, then it is scan, page down, repeat. Takes a second or two per code. It would probably get a bit annoying around 100.

Even if your TOTP app does support backup and restore and you use that, I think it is still a good idea to save the codes as described above, because if you ever want to change TOTP apps you likely can't restore from your previous app's backup. If you've saved the individual codes there is no such limitation.

That's what I do. I consider the encrypted file of PNGs to be my main backup, and the encrypted backup I saved in iCloud Files from OTP Auth to be for restoring OTP Auth if I ever have to reset a device or setup OTP Auth on a new device.

If you still have Google Authenticator somewhere, such as on the device you upgraded to your new phone from, you may be able to get your TOTP data out of it and into whatever TOTP app you use on the new phone. See my other comment that is near this one for details on how to do that.
I’m not very knowledgeable on this topic, so I have a legit question about all of this:

How is pausing withdrawals not blatant currency manipulation? If I had USDC and lost all faith in it yesterday, shouldn’t I be allowed to cash out today?

Also, if they’ve got many billions in cash, why would losing access to a sliver of it justify shutting down withdrawals?

“Trust us, it’s worth a dollar! Or don’t trust us! It doesn’t matter because you don’t have any choice but to hold USDC until we deem it advantageous to us to allow you to exchange them for real money!”
I can imagine two effects why a younger bank might experience higher risk:

1) a young bank is more likely to experience a high-growth phase, which produces operational challenges

2) a young bank might be founded to serve a new business niche, and experience with the challenges of that niche might be less prevalent in the banking sector. Like airplane regulations, rules are written in blood.

Back when Merrill Lynch was a full-service broker and CDs paid enough interest that you'd care, your broker could look up CDs offered by various banks and also a secondary market of CDs that people wanted to sell and you could invest money FDIC insured that way.

Isn't the thing they got caught out on mainly TBills though? So the metaphor falls apart again because they have a practically guaranteed value just with a long time horizon.
> It has historical roots in excluding Jewish students

I'm glad the Ivy (Penn) that I graduated from over thirty years ago was enlightened enough to admit good students regardless of whether they were Jewish. Or Asian.

> athletics has been a backdoor for admissions ... used to exclude ... those outside the upper class.

The student athlete I knew, my roommate Tony Tomaska, was the son of a Chicago policeman. He played for the football team. He was working class, not upper class.
probably this may change soon..
For some more context / concrete links: there are ongoing efforts to simulate the C. elegans worm, e.g. https://openworm.org/ , which has ~300 neurons.

The actual precision of this model is: nobody knows, because nobody knows precisely what neurons do / what they react to. We know some of it but definitely not all. But, simulating what we do know, you get quite worm-like behavior, despite whatever flaws exist.

To get a more perfect simulation, we'd need more perfect knowledge of the chemistry and physics, and lots and lots more computing power. It's something that's continually improving, but a lot of shortcuts have to be made to make it even remotely calculable. That'll always be the case, physics is simply too complicated to both efficiently and accurately simulate.
Ask HN: What's “?ref=https://codemonkey.link”?
I've recently noticed that GoogleBot (Google's webcrawler) has occasionally requested the URI "/?ref=https://codemonkey.link" on one of my sites (which doesn't respond to GET params at all, it's a static site), and I can't work out what this is or why GoogleBot would be doing it.

It's definitely a GoogleBot machine making this request (I validated the IP), and searching Google itself for that string (and subsets of it) provides several URIs of sites which are to some extent "using" it (although it could just be GoogleBot doing the same thing as it did for my site, which would ignore the GET request completely, and just return the same results as for /), and searching Github for it:

https://github.com/search?q=codemonkey.link&type=code

Shows URIs like:
https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-46493-0_37?ref=https://codemonkey.link

using it, so while it's not common, there are other things occasionally using it by the looks of things.
Whois of the domain seems to show it's registered in China, and several of the links in the Github query above seem to be Chinese.

Is it a "standard" for something? I can't work out what it is with queries to DDG, Kagi or Google, or why GoogleBot would be adding a URI of a Chinese site to a request it makes to my site, unless it got this link from another website/search engine which crawled it and that site created a "fake" GET param for "tracking"/fingerprinting purposes?
The 4-bit quantized models are 4GB for 7B and 8GB for 13B.

I'm not too worried about CLI shenanigans, because of what happened with whisper.cpp - it resulted in apps like https://goodsnooze.gumroad.com/l/macwhisper - wouldn't be at all surprised to see the same happen with llama.cpp

A regular M1 with 8GB of RAM appears to be good enough to run that 7B model. I wonder at what point it will run on an iPhone... the Stable Diffusion model was 4GB when they first released it, and that runs on iOS now after some more optimization tricks.

For me though, the "Stable Diffusion" moment isn't necessarily about the LLaMA model itself. It's not licensed for commercial use, so it won't see nearly the same level of things built on top of it.

The key moment for me is that I've now personally seen a GPT-3 scale model running on my own personal laptop. I know it can be done! Now I just need to wait for the inevitable openly-licensed, instruction-tuned model that runs on the same hardware.

It's that, but also the forthcoming explosion of developer innovation that a local model will unleash. llama.cpp is just the first hint of that.
Where is juniper notebook code for the chatgpt_generate function?
I think you underestimating the problem. There's no way to even capture and record "observed behavior" at the required level atm...
The perspective is not lost on me, I just think it's completely unrealistic on multiple fronts: it's a tiny fraction of the money, it's executed on a very different timeline and potentially not possible to stop (certainly not easy, HR may not even talk to treasury), and it may be against their contracts.

In jobs like this bonuses are also not just "great job" money, they're a predictable part of compensation that people depend on.
I can't say I've noticed this outside of a "tone" that HN comments tend to have.

Unfortunately that tone is often something akin to "devil's advocate trying to write like Paul Graham and Steven Pinker".
What's the display quality on these 10+ year old laptops? Looking at a low res blurry display all day can't be fun even if the performance is good enough.
> to convince everyone that it's the inevitable result of the groundswell of public opinion in favor of aggressive regulation.

This wasn't aggressive regulation - it was removing regulation. Again, regulations would have helped.

The same things we've learned since the 1930s still apply. And when someone rolls back those regulations under claims it's "stifling profit or innovation" we end up in the same spot.
The time has come: GitHub expands 2FA requirement rollout March 13
Wasn't there success in replicating how the neuron modulates a signal with electronics? If we can reproduce the out given any in then that's interchangeable from a system perspective?
Nvidia A100 is exactly that. It has lower cuda performance than a RTX 4090, and is almost entirely geared toward ML workloads.
I'm not sure I understand this. They forced me onto 2FA long ago, I thought they did it to everybody.
By far one of the biggest offenders.

The fact that all of this was achieved and realized over the course of ten years is assuring. The post itself is so genuine…wow…what on earth?

> Mostly just making sure SVB's assets are used to lessen the impact of the closure

That's standard practice.

Money from liquidation goes first to insured deposits, then what remains goes to uninsured deposits, then to pay other debts, and finally if anything is left, to shareholders.

Looks like here it will only cover insured deposits and substantial fraction of uninsured deposits.
Well, if the competition isn't "prim and spotless" while eating into Tesla's market share, that's even worse for Tesla.

Because it means even if Tesla cleans up it's act, so can the competition.

And then they continue to eat into Tesla's market share.

You REALLY don't want to be getting beaten by competitors who aren't even doing their best ...
Science and Nature are the canonical exaggerators when it comes to headlines. Whole genome, whole mitochondria, complete, total, you name it, there is (nearly?) always an invisible asterisk at the end. When these words are use then Materials and Methods tell you what actually happened.

What's completely crazy in this research is the ability to thin-section fly brains. Thousands and thousands of slices _of a fly brain_, good old physical science at the heart, crowd-sourced to connect the dots (though I'm not positive that's the case in this paper). The open-hardware imaging tools used in some studies like this are also super cool- https://openspim.org/.
It was a derivative of their prior knowledge and experience making the IBM selectric golfball typewriter. Different tech but grounding experience.

The B in IBM dates from them selling cash registers and calculators to business. They'd been in keyboards a long long time.
Sure. Then management abuses the workforce by assigning too many work hours to a person instead of hiring more people.
The mainline kernel works but I think the linux-surface kernel (https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface -- I misnamed it in my previous comment) should be used. I accidentally booted one of the SP3s with the mainline kernel and saw some WiFi driver problems, though I can’t say I’ve tested this extensively.
It's mostly an accident of history. Adderall was originally marketed as a weight loss product (!) containing 4 different amphetamine salts, including methamphetamine (!!).

The FDA made them remove the meth in the 70s, and in the 90s the company that made it was acquired, and it was rebranded as an ADHD drug.
Yeah same thing happened with Rippling- they had to push through some changes so they could handle payroll through another company, but ultimately got it all out.

I remember Gusto having an issue a year or two ago, but since they already had code in place to use a backup they ended up making all payments on time.
Can Australia curb its killer cats?
I see what you’re getting at but people could still withdraw paper money or do international transfers.

There are whole classes of products designed to be eaten for various purported benefits but which are evidently neither sufficiently foodlike not sufficiently druglike to warrant FDA attention. Herbal supplements are apparently just edible magic.

Knowing a close friend who lost his father to this, where his father spent many years in care and was always talking crazy.

He told me that in the week of his fathers death they were able to talk with each other as adults for the first time in many years. It was surreal because he had long thought the man was lost.

I believe the potential cause is an inflammatory response to an unknown agent (bacteria, virus or even our own cells). I wonder if terminal lucidity occurs as the immune system shuts down resulting in temporary reduction in brain inflammation.
Computation-wise, transformers are really just a bunch of matrix multiplications, nothing more to it. (Which is partially why they’re so efficient and scalable.) Also, Nvidia’s GPU architectures are moving in the TPU direction (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/tensor-cores/).

Fair price in the sense of "you get the same price if you want to sell and if you want to buy".

It's not true that "Anything is liquid if you will lower the price enough" if we understand liquidity in the usual sense.

Bonds and stocks are liquid because the bid-ask spread is small. It doesn't matter if you bought the bond at $1000, if you can get $799 for it and it would cost you $801 to buy one you may be unhappy but your problems are unrelated to liquidity (of course that $800 market price has nothing to do with ethics or morale).

A lingot of gold is more liquid than a gold tiara.

A participation in a private company is not liquid. Being able to sell with a large enough discount doesn't make it a liquid asset.
Sorry but it’s as simple as a directive to the person who clicks “Pay Now” to not do that yet.

A predictable part of compensation is being paid your regular wage on time and for many clients of SVB this is probably not possible this week coming.

They should have halted the bonuses.
This is a great way to put it, and I don’t see this reality acknowledged on HN very often.
I’m just telling you what I’m seeing.. The “multiple banks” will be the few biggest ones, even if it’s 1/10th of their funds, nobody will accept the risk of a smaller bank.
To people who don't work in finance, maybe it seems reasonable to take away bonuses from employees at a failing bank. It sounds crazy to me. My finance friends are in PE, not banking, but they do soul-crushing work for grueling hours specifically because of that end-of-year bonus.
The adverb there is actually meaningful, unlike something like "massively" or "immensely".

It conveys the idea that something is effective to a degree that seems unjustifiable by reason.

There is an idea out there, in the context of improving writing, that adverbs are useless; but it's not the case that no adverb ever plays a useful role in a sentence.
Great question. I don’t know, that’s why it’s a fantasy.

But I’m guessing that taxes isn’t the only or even the biggest way in which money is taken out of circulation.

In fact, if you ask google “how is money taken out of circulation?”, the first few answers don’t mention taxes at all.
<< The idea that using underpowered computer makes you write some faster or better software etc. is just silly.

I will admit that I would rather someone with more experience commented on this rather than me.

That said, I disagree on general principle.

When you are restrained ( sometimes severely restrained ) by the environment, the net result is that you use resources a lot more efficiently. I absolutely get that we are kinda spoiled now with crazy hardware that is basically a supercomputer from not so long ago and it is hard to let that convenience and power go, but that lends to the bloated software landscape we have today that manages to overuse just about every resource available.

With limited power, you are effectively forced to write better. It is not completely unlike training with weights. It is not silly. It produces real results.
Ripple actually got their payroll out late yesterday.
Imagine that you use a currency made by a specific company, lets say it's called PaypalCoin. Part of the value of the currency is that the company manages it, part of the risk is that a company manages it. So you'll only be able to exchange it for X as long as Paypal say you can exchange it for X. This is part of what PaypalCoin is, so if you use it, you should be aware of this.

This is basically what USDC is, and Circle is the organization that controls it. It is not a decentralized currency, it's a centralized digital currency. If Circle blacklists you and your funds, you won't be able to trade it for USD in the traditional exchanges, you'd only be able to do it P2P. This has happened already, with Tornado Cash, so it has precedent, not something I'm making up.

> USDC is issued and redeemed in accordance with Centre policies including the Centre Blacklisting Policy. Centre reserves the right to block the transfer of USDC to and from an address on chain as permitted under the Centre Blacklisting Policy.

https://www.circle.com/en/legal/usdc-terms & https://www.centre.io/hubfs/PDF/Centre_Blacklisting_Policy_2...

If Circle says you cannot exchange your USDC for USD, then that's the rule. If you don't want that possibility, you wouldn't use USDC in the first place.
I'm actually curious if SVB failed because it had so many highly connected "big" customers.

A panic moves a lot faster if each person is pulling 8+ figures from the bank, and you have a lot more incentive to panic if you have more than the 6 figures of FDIC insured balance in the bank. There's also a measurable difference in hearing crazy Jim down at the pub pulled his $400 out of the local credit union because he heard the fed was raising rates and hearing from the VC on your startup's board that three guys -- guys you know and think are cooler than you -- have pulled their next year of runway from SVB because they're worried for vague handwaving macroeconomics reasons that sound plausibly impressive to you.
Is the only with 3rd party sellers?

Does it happen with other retailers like Best Buy or Target?

Are they buying for below market prices?

So many questions…
"Our business isn't to manage money, it's to build a product for end users." This is the attitude I see with startups constantly. If it isn't a direct concern for the core efforts of what they are trying to do, they ignore it entirely. It doesn't matter how much of an improvement an action gives because they have tunnel vision
aws, go, and clojurescript.

go is notoriously boring.

the reagent api for clojurescript hasn’t changed in a decade, though recent things like shadow-cljs do improve qol.

aws releases services with 2 in their name instead of changing existing ones. the old boring service will plod along forever.

aws apigateway v2 is much better, but i have many deployed projects i will never migrate because they are fine on v1.

i do it like this: https://github.com/nathants/aws-gocljs

Machine learning? We'd be better off with way less technology in general... if we manage to survive tech induced climate change and/or potential nuclear annihilation without billions dying that is...
I'd think the main benefit these days might be cost savings from using RAM that's a generation or two older, but in general I think the use case for these hardware RAM disks is probably pretty slim nowadays.
