They’re spinning it because no politician or appointee wants to be on record as bailing out Silicon Valley, venture capitalists and Crypto.

But the end result is the same: a tax on everyone to bail out Peter Thiel and friends.
Can't believe this won. Although I liked the art style, it was painfully mawkish. I was cringing at almost every line.

Indeed. I didn't click through the image, so didn't see it. #12 hurts me so, so badly. #5 is way too true as well. Especially when it comes to high voltage signals running next to low voltage ones. And #4 has burned me so very many times.
The money isnt going directly to the workers. It goes to the companies who employ them to make sure the employers are ok. I think the point being made is that when workers ask for protections or concessions it's this massive struggle but when Etsy needs help the money somehow appears literally overnight.

Some of his content is benign, but he also discusses the epidemic of child abuse (including sexual), rampant female illiteracy, and the general cruelty of Amish culture.
I don't know if I buy the whole Microsoft got lucky part. I can remember years ago seeing Azure ads pushing machine learning. Github Copilot is now almost 2 years old (since the first "tech preview" announcement). Copilot is built on OpenAI/GPT-3 just like ChatGPT... and then a few months after Copilot, they made it available on Azure's OpenAI service. This is all in 2021. So they've been working on this and collecting data for a while through Azure and Github.

Edit: Azure ML launched in 2015.
The most used chart library for writing chart-related requirements is echarts. The performance of echarts on the website is quite mature, and the official solution is provided for the applet side, but there is no corresponding support in RN. On the market, most of the search is still based on the essence of the webview implementation, and I prefer the RN-based program, after all, the native experience will be better than the Web.

so we released @wuba/react-native-echarts to meet the needs. For those interested in the principle of implementation, click here.

Today I’m trying to use @wuba/react-native-echarts to make a real-world application like the screenshot below.

It is wise for the FDIC, Fed and Treasury to make this joint announcement on the Sunday before banks/markets open on monday morning. The timing is crucial, because without such an announcement, there will likely be a run on all banks, not just SVB and Signature Bank liquidity problems. The liquidity problem would have a ripple effect to all banks. Why put money in banks, over $250k, if all the rest is going to disappear because of the ponzi scheme the bank is playing on the bank end. The banks don't have the money that the customers deposited, obviously.
Source on 1/3rd? Does that include the ~$80B of 15-30 year MBS they acquired at the same time?

clearly it was not enough considering interest rates were zero at the time and the yield curve was inverted.
Don't know about this year but last year the ratings were at about 10 million people (used to be 40+ million).

Notation as a tool of thought (1979, APL founder Iverson) [pdf]
He might be blunt, but his accusations of the Amish are broadly accurate.
To issue a loan you need to individually check the borrower, and that's it. With bonds you put your trust in the whole system that banks apparently (as SBV debacle shows) don't understand (bacause they can't or because they have incentive not to understand).

Also, floating rate loans and mortgages are super common. Maybe not in US.
I'm curious if Clayton Christensen's would add some exceptions to his follow up book to "The Innovator's Dilemma" [1] ("The Innovators Solution") where the solution to BigCo failing to innovate is because they can never comprehend/tolerate any business which might cannibalize their core business even in the slightest (like a niche RSS reader taking away views from Google News and Google SERPs) is to do "intrapeanuership". Which is where your side plays are isolated/insulated from the downward pressure of established powerful internal teams controlling the current pet business model.

I doubt Reader was ever going to be a serious business but maybe there should be a much more explicit execption for the side products your customers love that also don't fit perfectly into the parent companies main business/product dev strategy.

> Are you seriously suggesting that people who would approve million dollar mortgage loans of their money week in, week out, wouldn't think about or protect against trivial tricks?

It may not be intuitive, but it’s a genuine unknown right now as to how well LLM’s can be secured. There’s reason to believe they can’t be.

The same powerful flexibility that makes them adapt to so many tasks makes them very hard to fit to formal protocols.
Actually, the yield curve was inverted at the time they made the purchases, compounding how strange their decision was.
Wouldn't you have said, "The US are," if you actually believed that?
I strongly disagree, it is just a lisp. It seems very suited for the job, is there any other competitor who has stood the test of time (I dont just mean this years fashion chrome wrapped editor) with as many extensions ?

I have to give them credit, but the other side of the equation is that though they react quickly, they tend to duct-tape feature and products together. I'm thinking of how office went online yet has always lacked cohesion. Or how teams competes with zoom/slack/etc, yet is frustrating to work with.

Taking an equity position in all the startups that are banking at SVB is not a failing proposition at all. You misunderstood what I'm saying. I'm saying that the fed is bailing out thousands of companies that have huge upsides. By keeping those companies in business via the fund transfer, the fed is allowing the founders / investors to make a huge upside, while retaining no right to the upside. The fed just eats the loss. I'm saying, in exchange for providing liquidity for employee wages and invention (the supposed social goods we're paying for) the government should take an equity position.

In no way do I think the government should own SVB's assets, which is what is actually happening here, as the government is going to eat the cost of retaining SVB's assets while insuring them at full face value despite that being 15B over market value right now.

> we have income taxes.

Alas the investors and companies being bailed out are not known for being very good at paying those.
on the meaning of open, a tangential issue, let's have Sherman set the wayback machine to when the word "open" first started being used. "OK Mr Peabody"

open has a number of meanings that are useful, but have been overwhelmed by the concept of open source.

but open standards used to be the meaning. "ethernet is this, here's how you talk to it, but we're not going to write the code for you" (i'm not claiming that ethernet was originally an open standard, just using that as an example of what an open standard means)

and hardware manufacturers used to include blueprints/schematics (for repair, or for interconnection, for example) and commercial software vendors would show you the source code, but at the same time, you weren't being given intellectual property rights or licenses to anything, it was just part of what was required to encourage customers to stick with the product by making it easier to fit in where it was going.

And all of this was a really useful kind of openness. Just mentioning it because when people talk about how open OpenAI is, I'm never quite sure what they're expecting (I don't mind any expectation, not judging, I just don't know)
I came across this based on discussion threads here on APL. But even though it is old, it is still quite interesting in spite you may have to "learn" a bit APL in the process (or you may try to ignore but feel through it).

The question is no doubt importance of the symbol in understanding and master a subject. <x| |x> etc. both hinder initially but ultimately help to understand certain physics. I think computer language definitely like that as well.

(And if one of the commentator is right, it is also sad he sort of abandon it. But as a reader, I cannot say this interpretation one way or the other. I just like the paper and I think it has a lasting value. If one has to argue the hurdle of APL symbols are there. I wonder whether one can just use matrix ... or mathematical symbols ... but that is going to a debate which I do not want to. Just appreciate.)
What angers me even more is that this was done in a push to get more people to use Google Plus to share news. Even though people shifted to other readers the network effect was killed. We are seeing this happen all over again with Twitter.
They take the mathematicians meaning. Open does not mean not closed.
I wrote a small python script for work that checks the time I have clocked in at work, checks how long I have to work that day and then recommends me the best time to leave to get the bus. The time is available via the time management website from work and the public transport API. It works surprisingly well and has saved me a little time every day.
I hope their api pricing goes down over time.
Thanks for this, this is a fair critique!

>is that you should have less informed, less rich and less well connected depositors (i.e. tame and docile customers) if you want to reduce the risk of a run on your bank, which is obvious in retrospect.

While a cynical and pragmatic take, I must remind you of the tradition of the United States as eloquently spoken by the American Bar Association, and traceable back as far as our first Presidents.

>Democracy requires not just obeying the law, though; it requires that people actively participate in the political process. This means voting, of course, but it is usually thought that not just any effort at voting will suffice—the citizen must stay informed of political affairs and make a rational choice among the options presented to her in the voting booth. Is there a duty to vote, then?

The root of all evil is info asymmetry; and it is a repeatedly self-evidently revealed truth that "Sunlight is the best disinfectant in matters of civic (or fiscal) corruption".

I know it's kind of a low blow to point this out, but if your point is even remotely representative of the "finance/banking" class, there are some serious problems that need to get resolved pronto; in no way, shape, or form should it even be considered a desirable end that "darn it, why can't we just keep these damn customers in the dark".

You're there to facilitate. You're there to manage risk. You're there to accurately convey the gist and nuance of financial matters in a manner that can be processed by the layman, or failing that, help elevate the layman until you can. You are not there to, nor should you ever feel good about perception managing.
Why would customers being made whole (at the cost of wiping out all equity and possibly at some cost to other banks) affect the incentives of banks in this kind of situation? What would banks do differently if account holders could lose everything over $250k? If they are happy to “gamble with 10x leverage” then presumably they don’t care about impact to their customers. If bank management risked jail time that might change incentives but doing that doesn’t seem to require a cost to account holders.

You can exit a theater (i.e. take your own self out of it) any time. Only if you shout "fire" and create a stampede does it become a problem.

The situation in this analogy is complicated by the fact that there _was_ a fire at the theater. However, even in that situation panic can be detrimental to the system as a whole.

Generative models (like LLMs) that assign probabilities to pieces of data are equivalent to compression algorithms.

To convert a generative model into a compression algorithm, you just use arithmetic coding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_coding.

To convert a compression algorithm into a generative model, you assign a probability to each piece of data according to the size of its compressed representation.

If you wanted to specifically measure the "useful" information, you would need to have some way of sampling from the set of possible articles that contain the same "useful" information, but vary in the "useless" information, and vice versa. I think you would find that it would be difficult for you to define what the boundary is, but if you made some arbitrary choice, you could measure what you are looking for through the LLM probabilities.
To me, "FedCoin" implies or suggests an electronic bearer instrument that is issued by the Federal Reserve. It wouldn't be mined, it would be minted and burned (aka created and destroyed). The USD is not currently offered in this format and I don't believe the Fed has any intention of doing so.

In college we had a class registration system that was first come first serve and enrollment started at 6am or something. I created a small script in selenium to automate this so all I had to do was have my laptop running and at 6am it would sign into the portal and grab up my classes as fast as possible.

This ended up always making sure I got into the section I wanted.
I don't think we're in disagreement -- I support the actions of the FDIC, Treasury, and FRB on this issue. A few hours from now, hopefully we will not see runs on other exposed institutions.

The decision was made that if the Deposit Insurance Fund [1] was drained as a consequence of this new mandate to protect all depositors while collecting insurance premiums calibrated to the previous $250k limit, the government will backstop the FDIC ("full faith and credit"). Good.

My contention is that the future of the DIF itself is murky -- I suspect that it's no longer necessary. If it were still relevant, then shouldn't FDIC dramatically increase insurance premiums going forward? Without getting into too much detail, I find that extremely unlikely because FDIC insurance expenses are already quite high. If FDIC won't increase premiums to the level necessary to fund the DIF properly at the new (unlimited) level of protection, Congress should eliminate the requirement for banks to carry this insurance.

> While the DIF is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, it has two sources of funds: assessments (insurance premiums) on FDIC-insured institutions and interest earned on funds invested in U.S. government obligations. Revenue from assessments and interest on investments add to the DIF balance (or fund net worth), while losses (primarily from bank failures) and operating expenses reduce the balance.

The important thing with any superconducting discovery is the operating temperature and pressure.

In a historic achievement, University of Rochester researchers have created a superconducting material at both a temperature and pressure low enough for practical applications.

20 ℃ and 10 kilobars pressure.

The temp, I like. the pressure, I don't see how this is practical in engineering deployment. I'd trade some of that heat to get less pressure at this point, contrary to normal "warmer is better" -so what reduction in pressure for what degrees C of cooler temp?

I mean, it depends on the average. We can (and often do) select an average where it is necessarily so.
I gave the entire gamut a chance back then, none was the same. They either cost a lot, didn’t offer the same UX or both.

There are different ways to value experience depending on the context. For example, if you are talking about customer experience, you can link it to business outcomes such as customer loyalty, retention, and revenue. You can consider how work experience affects your lifetime earnings, career mobility, and learning opportunities.

> It is likely that the chief competitive advantage of human beings is not our individual skill for rational thought, but our collective capacity for transmitting and evolving cultural knowledge over centuries and millennia.

What is that based on? Plenty of cultural knowledge (what is that?) has been plainly wrong and destructive. Humanity has advanced when we've focused on rational thought, especially since the Enlightenment. Astrology and hate are cultural knowledge; astronomy and universal human rights are rational thought.

People can learn how to use Treasurydirect.gov instead of using their bank as a lousy bond broker. Inflation protected bonds, that you can buy only $10k a year of are some of the highest yielding risk free investments that exist.

Other institutions that have LPs should lend to businesses, students and home owners.
