The FDIC charter:
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an independent agency created by the Congress to maintain stability and public confidence in the nation’s financial system. The FDIC insures deposits; examines and supervises financial institutions for safety, soundness, and consumer protection; makes large and complex financial institutions resolvable; and manages receiverships.
Insolvency means that they owed 220 billion, while owning 200 billion worth of assets.

SVB had enough cash-on-hand, and could borrow money against their assets in order to serve 42 billion dollars worth of withdrawals.

Their balance sheet still had a huge hole, from the moment that they marked-to-market their long-term treasuries. Which was before those 42 billion dollars were withdrawn.
White people in these areas don't trust people from outside these areas. The only reason other people come to them is to paint the people in a bad light in some way or scam them (why else would anyone come? it's certainly not for work or pleasure). It has nothing to do with there being "a lot at stake," they just genuinely don't like outsiders.

Correct, in this case Blizzard would have to release a mount NFT whose ownership their code checked. There must be a first party NFT market for the second party one to make sense.

The system as described doesnt 'break down' if that transfer doesnt relay to in game, it never launched whatsoever.

I dont know what would be in it for developers to tie into such a system - unregulated video game markets are notorious for the scams they breed (don't believe me? Meet me in Thais depot for some fast hands), so ceding control so that a secondary market can spring up sounds.. counterproductive.

It's active voice, no? How is it different than we fired, except that firing sounds more tied employee performance, no longer needed more seems like employer fault.
The overhead is the same. Rust just takes care that you're doing it right, while C++ lets you shoot your foot off in this area.
No problem if you don't want to use an app, just use the thermostat. The system runs fine without internet connectivity. What you get with a wifi connection is the thermostat can access signals that increase system efficiency (demand response, weather, TOU rates) and you get remote commands from your smartphone.

Show HN: Nurl: Generate Nix fetcher calls from repository URLs
`nurl` is like a `nix-prefetch-git` that selects the optimal fetcher inferred from the URL, with a wide support of fetchers listed below.

Here is a quick demo of how it works:

$ nurl https://github.com/nix-community/patsh v0.2.0 2>/dev/null
fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "nix-community";
repo = "patsh";
rev = "v0.2.0";
hash = "sha256-7HXJspebluQeejKYmVA7sy/F3dtU1gc4eAbKiPexMMA=";
}

### Supported Fetchers

- builtins.fetchGit

- fetchCrate

- fetchFromBitbucket

- fetchFromGitHub

- fetchFromGitLab

- fetchFromGitea

- fetchFromGitiles

- fetchFromRepoOrCz

- fetchFromSourcehut

- fetchHex

- fetchPypi

- fetchgit

- fetchhg

- fetchsvn

### Usage

Usage: nurl [OPTIONS] [URL] [REV]

Arguments:
[URL] URL to the repository to be fetched
[REV] The revision or reference to be fetched

Options:
-S, --submodules[=<SUBMODULES>] Fetch submodules instead of using the fetcher's default [possible
values: true, false]
-f, --fetcher <FETCHER> Specify the fetcher function instead of inferring from the
URL [possible values: builtins.fetchGit, fetchCrate,
fetchFromBitbucket, fetchFromGitHub, fetchFromGitLab,
fetchFromGitea, fetchFromGitiles, fetchFromRepoOrCz,
fetchFromSourcehut, fetchHex, fetchPypi, fetchgit, fetchhg,
fetchsvn]
-F, --fallback <FALLBACK> The fetcher to fall back to when nurl fails to infer it from
the URL [default: fetchgit] [possible values:
builtins.fetchGit, fetchCrate, fetchFromBitbucket,
fetchFromGitHub, fetchFromGitLab, fetchFromGitea,
fetchFromGitiles, fetchFromRepoOrCz, fetchFromSourcehut,
fetchHex, fetchPypi, fetchgit, fetchhg, fetchsvn]
-n, --nixpkgs <NIXPKGS> Path to nixpkgs (in nix) [default: <nixpkgs>]
-i, --indent <INDENT> Extra indentation (in number of spaces) [default: 0]
-H, --hash Only output the hash
-j, --json Output in json format
-p, --parse Parse the url without fetching the hash, output in json
format
-a, --arg <NAME> <EXPR> Additional arguments to pass to the fetcher
-A, --arg-str <NAME> <STRING> Same as --arg, but accepts strings instead Nix expressions
-o, --overwrite <NAME> <EXPR> Overwrite arguments in the final output, not taken into
consideration when fetching the hash
-O, --overwrite-str <NAME> <STRING> Same as --overwrite, but accepts strings instead Nix
expressions
-l, --list-fetchers List all available fetchers
-L, --list-possible-fetchers List all fetchers that can be generated without --fetcher
-s, --list-sep <SEPARATOR> Print out the listed fetchers with the specified separator,
only used when --list-fetchers or --list-possible-fetchers is
specified
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version

The needs of a business change. Sometimes roles are eliminated and other times roles are added. This is normal and healthy process of every business. Can we get away from infantizing the individuals affected like they're some children whose family disowned them? It's unfortunate and you can certainly empathize with those that no longer have a role in the firm, but it's a business, not a family.

I think they are owning the outcomes. Saying "we fired 17 people" would be more disrespectful and not accurate. If I was let go due to a strategic business decision or through the natural course of the industry I wouldn't want my former employer suggesting they fired me.

The New Mexico Rail Runner is 96.5 miles, 74.2 of which was preexisting BNSF track which is still shared with freight and also I believe the Amtrak Southwest Chief. There are some other segments that are also preexisting track, but they are much smaller and some was improved as part of the project so I won't even try to figure out what proportion was what there.

So strictly less than 22.3 miles of new track. For $385 million.

Yeah I suspect there's quite a lot of claw back by local government. Fishing is a rare industry where most boats are owner-operated and almost all their revenue is funneled back into the local economy (shipyards, shiphands who are employed on the boats themseves, marinas (usually owned by the city) etc) so for a place like alaska getting rid of fishing is hugely crippling for their local economy and the people who work in those towns. Take away fishing and the economy in these towns stops. There is no Fortune 50 company with infinite pockets to swoop in and "make things right" either via the goodness of their own hearts, or by lawsuits.

I have no inside information on this one, but YC has been around for 18 years, and pg left the president role 9 years ago. It's been about half of YC's life that he's been out of the day-to-day stuff. It's absolutely not obvious that he'd be reading each announcement that goes out (I'd be surprised at such).
The problem with trying to charge a nominal/flat fee is the same for all contractors.

Meh, there is something to be said for having "anything" over "nothing", but as with many of GitLab features, you inevitably found yourself deep down some years old issue of theirs to find why something is broken or obviously nonsensical. That's before they went batshit insane on development of even more unfinished stuff, while the core ergonomics (Lint CI button anyone?) continue to border on unusable.

Ironically GitHub actions are now the vastly superior experience, despite the lack of bullshit checkbox features. Turns out you don't need so many of them beyond the basic "run something on a worker" flow.

> I see lots of articles get posted which are worth reading in full, but the comments under them make it clear few if any people actually read them.

This is how people have always read the news. In the old days, there was TV and radio news, which are really just headlines and a brief summary of stories, and newspapers. Most people didn't read the majority of the stories in the newspapers -- they'd skim the headlines, maybe read the first paragraph of a few, and read one or two of the stories that particularly interested them.

That's what's hard to monetize online. I have no answers for this problem, but it's certainly a problem.
No, I understand that. You realize the government approves the plans right? You also realize the government still thinks the ACA was a god send?

Traditional Medicare sucks too though.

The fix for our medical system is to bring pricing down, while incentivizing innovation and not allowing your medical system to get overwhelmed by individuals that aren't contributing any money into it. You can have an argument about how to best do that but the current government backed options aren't cutting.
I've been doing "full stack" for many years. Until the new GPT came out I thought that I needed to become an expert in ML and had taken some Coursera classes etc.

But now with the general purpose power of the ChatGPT API / OpenAI Embeddings, things like Stable Diffusion, and Eleven Labs, etc., and the expectation of new models coming out that have visual understanding integrated with the large language model, and quite possibly even more intelligence, I don't feel that ML is a good path for me. It makes more sense for me to just leverage the APIs to build applications.

I get the impression that optimized (multimodal) transformer models are going to be readily adaptable to most tasks and so its much less important going forward to do "real research" in order to get results.

As soon as the GPT3 API came out I started experimenting and moving towards launching https://aidev.codes. So now I have quite a bit of experience with prompt engineering for GPT, and a few other AI-related APIs. I am looking to raise money for marketing aidev.codes. If anyone wants to hire me, see the email in my profile.

I love the squeaky bass drum in some Led Zeppelin records. Adds to the charm.

I worked on a big studio in the late 90s/early 2000s, and it was kinda funny how professionals have (or at least had) an attitude of just not caring about those things. Try to fix with a gate in about 10 seconds, if it doesn't work just turn it down a bit. Or not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Gitlab pricing used to be something like $4/mo and they saw incredible growth.
They raised their rates to $19/mo and now are seeing slow growth.
In April they are raising to $29/mo- not sure what they think is going to happen.
Also, for anyone that actively watches, they have to wonder if there will be another price hike once you are on their platform.

Github Enterprise is only $21/mo and for most users it has all the same features of Gitlab.

Gitlab's main differentiator for a long time was CI, but now Github has its own equivalent (Actions).

It seems that Gitlab is only going to be left with
1) existing Gitlab users
2) users that want some enterprise feature set that doesn't exist on Github, and want it in a single platform without a third party
A story I heard while working on Kernel and Drivers at MS, is that this acronym originally stood for "Another Fucking Driver", named by Dave Cutler once a kernel engineer told him that it was necessary and asked him for a good name. Obviously before they shipped, they needed to come up with a more Palatable name, so "Auxiliary function driver" was the name they came up with.

In the original post you've called it an "attempt to provide artists with revenue" and let's be clear it was never that. The only attempt was to provide revenue for Facebook, and both NFT scammers and Facebook only used artists as a fig leaf for the get-rich-quick scheme of wash trades and piracy.
It’s interesting how you added Ukraine and Russia to the conversation by mentioning the war. Indeed, they both are part of Europe. Did you really mean that?
> When describing a death many people will say "they are no longer with us"

Fussell describes (in Class) this kind of talking-around situations as a "low" marker (in a class-signaling sense). The "high" version is to just plainly state "X died" or "X is dead". Similar for describing things like pregnancy.

Not sure what significance this has for corporate communication, and I'm also not sure how true it is (though all the things he described that I do know about were remarkably accurate) but, well, there's that I guess. Regardless, I'm not sure that kind of avoidant language is natural (though possibly it is, and it has to be trained out to get the more-direct "high" version—but I suspect either preference is mainly a socialization thing).
There are air-to-water heat pumps, provided your emitters are sized such that you can heat your home with flow temps at/under 135°F. (I was able to test the prior winter and turning my aquastat way down and see when the house was no longer able to maintain the desired setpoint. For me, that was at about 9°F and it fell by about 1°F inside for every 2°F outside below that over a single night.)

If you can get by with 135°F (or ideally 130°F) flow, Google for "air to water heat pump" and there's likely a vendor that will sell into Ontario. (Ultimately, I decided against it for economic reasons, mostly because of a monopoly supplier in my area giving me a monopoly quote while not accepting Monopoly money.)
I read The Economist too which would like to like the Tories (say if they were still run by Thatcher) but they've got as little love for May, Johnson, or Liz Truss as they had for Disraeli back in the day.

The Economist avoids "shit news" as well as news about sports (What Six Nations?) and is not so negative as The Guardian but doesn't paint a picture too different about the general disorder or Brexit being a disaster.
Interestingly enough, bitcoin is up 10+% today and I think few other crypto currencies as well. Seems like when people see banks failing, bank runs and risk of losing their deposits, they see value in crypto.
There was a joke "It's obvious now in hindsight that NFTs are a scam, but to be fair, it was also obvious before, and in the middle too"

I'm not sure anyone at any point thought they were legit, it was crypto chuds hyping their next scam, and the media willing to join in for extra clicks. The real losers were the the ones who bought in thinking they would find a greater fool to off load their magic beans to later.
A Look at Bank Solvency
> I hate this passive voice.

To be pedantically clear, the first sentence here is not passive! Both clauses there have an explicit subject (‘this’ and ‘we’ respectively) and neither verb (‘means’ and ‘need’) is passivised. I like Geoffrey K. Pullum’s article on what is and isn’t passive: http://www.lel.ed.ac.uk/~gpullum/passive_loathing.html

(Not that this means the announcement isn’t problematic, mind you. It still feels like it’s trying to avoid focussing on something. And yes, the second sentence does this by means of the passive voice. I just get annoyed when people misidentify it, as they seem to do regularly.)
FWIW, the book synopsis that you quoted does not say that libertarians built a tent city, it says that freedom-loving citizens built a tent city. New Hampshire’s state motto is “live free or die”, and that value of freedom is one of the reasons that NH was chosen by the libertarians to build their utopia.

It’s a very rich and complex story about many different people, and arguing with a handful of sentence fragments from a summary does nothing to impugn the quality of the journalism.

Better add a consultancy arm to "tune" the computers to remove the CPU scheduling issues, sort out the P states and C states to remove those pesky optimizations.

Maybe you can create an audiophile BIOS, as well that automatically tweaks the CPU to optimize enabled core count, turbo and voltages, etc. Of course, it's a chargeable add-on for the custom PC service, and only available on supplied hardware.

Oh, do you think you could get the audiophiles into RISC CPUs too? Find a reference board, custom brand it, and charge 10x for a purer CPU. It's reduced instructions, so there's fewer of them to disrupt the pure audio quality. You've hand tweaked the RISC instruction set to remove any that might impede the logic flow of audio processing for a purer, clearer sound.
I can easily hear the difference between CD editions (of 1y/2y old albums, so its not related to mixing) and streaming. I have a low end cambridge audio setup and elac speakers. The difference is quite obvious, specially on complex tech/death metal tracks. Thing is, I really doubt a 10k system would offer something really relevant above this. For 10k, I could actually hire the band to play on my living room :D

> It's active voice, no?

Yes, it is — at least in the first sentence.

> How is it different than we fired, except that firing sounds more tied employee performance, no longer needed more seems like employer fault.

I think this is GP’s issue with the phrasing here. Passive or not, it sounds like it’s deflecting focus away from something — as they said, ‘It implies there was nothing that could be done, that this was just a force of nature’.

Those two choices sound like statements: 'here is what is next for remote working.' It's instead asking where remote working will go, and 'what next' is the expected form there from my experience, though it's usually seen on its own as an exclamation. Contrived example: "I've seen my boss, the Mayor, and the Governor walk through here! What next? The president?"

I was just trying to find a modern C++ tutorial, but there's nothing comparable to the Rust Book on the internet.
