Long time ago advices like Uncle Bob's seemed good to me.

Now I try to use OOP the least I can, I try to use the less abstractions I can and I try to make the CPU use the least number of instructions.

I am using a part procedural and part functional approach, keep data separate from functions that process the data, try to use immutable data where possible and minimize state changes.

I am trying to use a data oriented approach and I am more happier and productive than if I hade to apply clean code principles and software patterns on top of software patterns.
> The ability to redeem LUSD for ETH at face value (i.e. 1 LUSD for $1 of ETH) and the minimum collateral ratio of 110% create a price floor and price ceiling (respectively) through arbitrage opportunities. We call these "hard peg mechanisms" since they are based on direct processes.

> LUSD also benefits from less direct mechanisms for USD parity — called "soft peg mechanisms". One of these mechanisms is parity as a Schelling point. Since Liquity treats LUSD as being equal to USD, parity between the two is an implied equilibrium state of the protocol. Another of these mechanisms is the borrowing fee on new debts. As redemptions increase (implying LUSD is below $1), so too does the baseRate — making borrowing less attractive which keeps new LUSD from hitting the market and driving the price below $1.

> go back in time and see some of these remote port cities in their heyday

It would be a sight to see. For scale, in the 1860s and 1870s Chicago was the busiest port in the US; "In 1871, more ships arrived [in Chicago] than New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Charleston, and Mobile combined" [1]. I imagine that Marquette or Duluth would have a top-10 busiest port in the US at that time - where else would all those ships be coming from?

Coinbase seems to be taking steps to have enough liquidity at all times. So they don't lend "or take any action" with user funds unless the user explicitly instructs them to.

> The vast majority of Coinbase client cash is stored in FDIC-insured bank accounts. When a client has a large dollar balance, Coinbase stores their cash in a U.S. government money market fund to keep it safe and liquid. Like all assets on Coinbase, we hold client cash 1:1 and your assets are your assets. We do not lend or take any action with your assets unless you specifically instruct us to.

Doing something like you describe what also be a huge risk, what happens if USDC falls to 0? Everyone lost their funds? I'm sure there would be countless lawsuits if that was to happen.
It looks like they were in the middle of a capital call - completely caught unaware.
So, when will the USA military invade Norway?

I assume per your definition of "country" Norway should be a country as well.

Norway is a major party in selling oil and gas, but doing it so in NOK. Norway is not even part of NATO. At least until now.

So when do you expect an attack by the USA military?
That's sex on a desk there. Good job.
If most clients are (startup) businesses, a meager 250k FDIC insurance isn't going to do much.
Perhaps rather than predicting the future it's more a question of which bank is more likely to commit fraud: the one that's a repeat offender, having committed egregious acts of fraud against millions of customers, or any other comparable bank.

"Catastrophe risk modeling expert." That's good stuff.
Your loss then. America is the best country in the world and I say that as a European.
I would say your comment is the low quality one, when the thread just sketched out[1] why WF’s “safe” level ought to be similarly fatal, and you’re just restating the obvious with a lecture about how 28% is safer than 56%, which was never in dispute. And for the kicker, you threw in an aside, which I hope is a joke, that we should say false things just because we don’t like the target.

[1] Yes, my comment wasn’t explicit, but if you put in some effort and read the context or a sibling comment, you’ll see the justification.

Something that jumps out to me from the resume is the gap from 2011-2016 and then 2019-2021.

This will be seen as a red flag by many recruiters and for anyone reviewing your CV - which may explain why you are doing well in interviews, but then not getting any further.
Care to elaborate?
Do you mean that they know that it will go to 0 and that's why they are not buying?
This. A company being unable to make payroll, even only one time, is a pretty huge flashing warning light that the company is very close to the edge of a cliff.

With a straight development role, you're going up against people with 4 year degrees. For the 'devops' side, these are skills that aren't typically achieved by university students.

While there might be 1000 front end jobs, you're competing with 10k applicants. For 100 devops jobs, you're competing with 10 applicants.
Just read thoughtfully and treat the ideas as tools rather than laws. Reading code is good too but one doesn't have to jump straight to first principles.
It's interesting to play out what it means in more detail.

Try one of the many online 'balance the budget" games like https://us.abalancingact.com/2022-federal-budget .

Total federal outlays in 1989 were $1,143,744M in today's dollars. That's less than is currently spent on Medicare and Medicaid, ignoring everything else in the budget.

So you'll have to make some pretty substantial alterations.
If you have other cryptocurrencies, you can use a bunch of different DEXes to purchase USDC right now.

I agree with the premise but not the prescription, which boils down to "Find any profitable business at all, even if you find the product you're selling intensely dull or harmful." This is stoicism applied to the worst kind of Roundheaded/Puritanical, market-worshipping capitalism. It winds up teaching you that the needs of people are irrelevant, and only the needs of the market matter.
That feels like an overreaction given that DAI has only ever been 30-50% USDC and USDC lost 8% of reserves. Though there probably is a loss of trust which is harder to quantify.
Indeed. What we do is more akin to computer voodoo.

Now let me wave a dead chicken over those server logs...

From what I've seen - a fancy feeling. deposit your vc money and they'll give you a huge credit line and a bottle of champagne.
Same here. Still remember the WinZip registration key from memory. Perfectly useless info, don't even use Windows since a decade ago.
I'm happy for them, I guess. Of course I could be wrong, but given the evidence I don't think I will be. More power to the VCs and everyone else if they get their money back.

But, if they were going to find a buyer they probably would've found one already. They certainly will either have to have one before the open on Monday or it's not happening. The assets of the bank become more and more toxic as time goes on (this happened with Lehman Brothers) and if someone swoops in today, on Saturday, then it's not too bad. But if it sits a week and no one wants to buy it, if someone buys it next Saturday now that bank looks like a fool and people are going to question the deal

If they don't have a buyer, depositors are taking a haircut. Maybe they will get 100% of their money back in actual dollars, but they will lose via time--the FDIC will either liquidate the assets or let them mature. If they liquidate, they will take an immediate loss. If they wait for them to mature, then sure in 10 years everyone gets their money but Time value of Money is a thing and being made whole 10 years from now is not being made whole
Let me correct that for you. "The total actual cost has been estimated to be around $500 billion, though to be frank the loaned money was all paid back."
Superfeedr also seems completely unmaintained since Medium bought them. The blog is dry, other feed-related projects are frozen, they still don't support newer WebSub standards and the offical Medium hub for Medium blogs doesn't send updates. I suspect that Medium doesn't care about feeds anymore now that they are big so they are doing just enough to keep the current service running.

I wouldn't want to build a service on top of them. But I guess if it does shut down switching to polling youself wouldn't be the hardest thing to do.
Ok it was late and I misread GP as saying they had already done it.
What do you think your comments are adding to the discussion here? You’re going in circles and I don’t see the coherent point. The original criticism was that WF criticized SVB while still holding a sufficiently dangerous fraction of their portfolio in the same assets.

If you’re not speaking to that criticism but just giving vague generalities about how banks need to manage risk right, then you don’t need to make a comment at all.

Edit: Hit my comment rate limit so...

Sorry, I don't see the answer -- again, you were just speaking in vague generalities about how "banks need to manage risk right". Doesn't get to the argument you need, which is "this why WF can suffer a 5.6% loss on its loan portfolio but still satisfy demand deposits, and why it's a difference in kind, not degree, from an 11.2% loss happening to SVB".

The point was never that the percentage doesn't ever matter at all, but that both WF and SVB hold way too much in fixed rate long-term loans.

So if we're really going to go there, I think the substantive points went over your own head. When you're ready to say something more informative than "it's a bank's job to manage risk", I'll be ready to learn from it and appreciate the insight you're bringing.
Easier said than done: they don't have that many assets that are their own; the market depth at 0.9 is probably not much; and they, like everyone else, would take the risk USDC ultimately gets redeemed at 0.9 or whatever the shortfall ends up being. Plus their compliance dude is going to throw a tantrum.
Also see the E-myth, which is the idea that being good at something means you should make a business out of it. People who are good at business should start them, and you should be creating a business instead of buying a job.

I think it could help startup founders avoid burnout if they realized that they're not much different from the person who tries to open a restaurant because they like to cook.

I wish that book had a better title. I skipped it for a long time because I had no idea what it was trying to convey.
I couldn't get the mps python version to run, it's insane how much setup it requires... I don't think the Gerganov C++ version uses CoreML or Neural Engine.

I previously tried to play with ANE based off prior reverse engineering work [0] but couldn't get it to work nicely. It's actually beyond me how Gerganov's version performs so well -- the output quality of the non-quantised version running on A100 (AWS) isn't noticably better than the one I'm getting.

It depends on the function. For basic stuff, Matlab uses MKL. MKL is available no-cost.

You could use LD_PRELOAD or LD_LIBRARY_PATH to get Octave to link MKL (or I’m sure you could compile the whole thing for MKL, but LD_PRELOAD let me use the disto version and I’m lazy). You also may have to tell MKL to use GNU threads. I’ve done it, got decent speed ups with a 6 core AVX2 system, so I guess something more recent could be even better.
It's more that nonsensical language is meaningless, because language has so little content density to begin with, so losing a little loses almost all of it, whereas a mishmashy picture has lots of pieces of meaning, even if the whole is a mess, because images are far more information dense.

I love the part about the tech industry having a "moral imperative".
Why is that a bad thing? I don't use matlab or octave, but I'm glad there is choice. The ecosystem would be much worse if everyone just stopped working on less fashionable projects. I'm happy to see that people are still working on this.
Thanks for sharing! I agree. What structure / process would you prefer to evaluate developer’s performance qualitatively?
https://www.fastcompany.com/90864382/silicon-valley-bank-was... :

> In many cases, startups exclusively banked with SVB because doing so was listed as a covenant of their debt!

> So CEOs across the tech sector on March 9 faced a hard choice: You can pull your deposits from the bank in order to save them, but then you would be in breach of covenant, and at risk of default on your venture debt. Of course, the alternative was that you risked losing everything if the bank failed. Many chose to hold tight as SVB’s outright failure seemed outlandish even a few short hours ago.

[this is a copy/paste of a comment I made on another thread]
Yep, noticed the same pattern. Starts with some really interesting and educational videos and then eventually degenerates to gunfights, loud yelling and needless violence videos for kids.
This Vox article < https://www.vox.com/technology/23634433/silicon-valley-bank-...> talks about that a bit.

> More importantly, SVB was particularly flexible about lending tech startups money even though they didn’t have free cash flow (because tech startups usually lose money at the beginning of their lives) or much in the way of assets (because startups often don’t have much more than the brains of their founders and early employees when they launch). “If you are a startup company, you don’t look like a normal business,” says Sean Byrnes, a startup founder and investor who says he has used SVB for years. “Most banks, if you go to them and ask for a loan, they’ll laugh at you.” SVB was also often willing to work with founders who weren’t US citizens, which would be an obstacle for more traditional banks.
Viruses revived from ancient permafrost can infect amoeba
Tether had such enormous USD inflows that it all comes down to how they played the rising interest rate environment and maaaybe exposure to Chinese bonds, not whether or not they were fraudulent even as late as a few years ago.

If they did a good job dancing to the music, even a poly-billion dollar hole in their balance sheet will rapidly heal, if it hasn't already. If they did a poor job dancing to the music (see: SVB), this sin would eclipse the comparatively small matter of shady founders pocketing a billion or three.
I was thinking of a scenario. My children are adults and browsing photos of themselves as children. They come across a picture of the family on a vacation to the beach. They dimly remember it, but the memories are fond. They notice they are holding crisp ice cold cans of Coca Cola Classic (tm). They don’t remember that part very well. Mom and dad rarely let them drink Coke. Maybe it was a special occasion. You know what, maybe it would be fun to pick up some Coke to share with their kids!

So a future where reality and history are subtly tweaked to the specifications of those willing to pay…

Nice summary. The lack of profitability in database companies that have IPOed in the last decade is striking. This article highlights the challenges that MongoDB has in growing Atlas revenue. In fact, the analysis feels optimistic--cloud users are looking hard at bills now which affects margins. Moreover, overall public cloud platform growth also is slowing. [0]

It's therefore possible that MongoDB may be chasing a market that never really materializes fully without substantial changes in their cost structure. So another outcome is that MongoDB goes private like Cloudera in order to sort things out.

Interesting
Triggering a bank run where your startups get all their money out before their competitors is a nice way to get an edge
It's worse than that. He's not even talking about all startups, he's talking about SV-style VC-backed startups. That's a small subset of all startups even if you only count tech.
Why would you say that? Every word can be easily encoded in a tiny picture.
I shudder to even think of the cumulative ecological cost of Bob's line of thinking, here. Imagine if Henry Ford did this... we'd all be getting 0.3mpg, but hey... productivity!
> "SF payroll firm Rippling finds some payouts delayed" would be accurate. "Has to delay" implies that they "had to" make a choice to delay payments, e.g. because they don't have the funds available.

The article makes it pretty clear that Rippling felt they "had to" switch banks upon SVB's failure Friday morning. Whether we agree on whether or not they truly had to doesn't change the fact that this was apparently a move they felt they needed to do immediately.

It's like everyone in this thread saying, "They didn't have to," was somehow magically privy to internal Rippling convos.

Is this what they mean by submarine marketing? Because I've been a gym rat since the 80s and never heard of this site, and never heard anyone at the gym mention it, and never heard anyone in any other fitness group mention it. Other than that, sure.
Well, huge respect for raising reasonable and well behaved kids.
What makes it hard, imo, is that kids chase status and conformity (social school dynamics, probably). What could be worse than seeing everybody in class with a shiny new smartphone and not having one? Also, them being precisely engineered addiction machines doesn't really help. Which makes me curious, how did you manage to pull it off?
It currently uses only the CPU via ARM NEON intrinsics - no GPU, no ANE and no Apple Accelerate.

Plan is in the future to utilize respective SIMD intrinsics for other architectures (AVX, WASM SIMD, etc) and also add other more accurate quantization approaches. It's actually not a lot of work and I have most of the stuff ready, so hopefully soon!

Edit: AVX2 support has just been added
You're already a paying customer? That's great!
Is 2x4090 possible or just 3090?
How do you get good at businesses without starting them?
Bank accounts and service. Seriously.

When you are a startup, a typical model is you deposit $2mm or $4mm or whatever of VC money and spend it down. You are a brand new company with no income and a bunch of money. You trip all their fraud flags, and all their models for credit are based on income, age of account, etc.

Payments to vendors would constantly get frozen, incoming wire transfers get flagged. Getting a cash-backed company credit card wasn't possible. It has improved slightly recently, but still very tough.

Overall, I'd say very few startups use the big banks today. If they're not with SVB, they're with other mid-size regional banks.
Have you ever used time-travel debugging? Core dumps give you a backtrace (assuming stack is sane) which gives some clue of how I got here, but not _why_ I got here. e.g. assertion failure. I wrote that assertion because I believed this thing would always be true. Now I find it is not true. From a corefile I can't usually see why it not true.

With a time travel recording I can put a watchpoint (aka data breakpoint) on the state that is supposedly impossible, and reverse-continue back to see exactly where it got set. (And repeat as required.) It really is very powerful.

Admittedly there are situations in which it's not practical to get a recording, but when you can... almost any bug becomes trivial.
I wasn't totally clear on the prescription. But yeah. Loving coffeeshops isn't really a great reason for starting one. On the other hand, if you despise coffeeshops and the people who frequent them, you almost certainly don't want to start one even if they were good business opportunities.
Internal. We're using Polars as the query engine to effectively query that data statically at rest (more accurately, mmap'd on disk in arrow ipc format)

In capitalism, it is a fact that the market predominates human needs. Your feelings don't change that.
