well, for example in ARMv7 and below, it was common to use LR(r14) ALSO for math during the function body if there was register pressure. So it does assist a little. And the instruction set encoding is much simpler if every reg is just ... a reg. No need for push and pop if you can store with predecrement and load with postincrement. And those stores/loads are useful ALSO for non-stack ops, if your compiler is clever. _At the time_ the design made good sense.

But in modern very-OoO cpus, you are right, and having SP and PC be GPRs is of little use and of non-negilible cost design-wise, which is why in aarch64, SP and PC are special and not GPRs like they were in ARMv7 and below. LR still is a GPR though
SVB has around $200B under management. The bank run on Thursday pulled $41B out of it. That is 20% of their total AUM. That is an insane bank run. No bank is setup for that kind of bank run.
Are you counting bailouts as failure or not?
That seems irrelevant but consistent. In both scenarios they’ve affirmed that people have a right to just exist without duress against their existence. Seems obvious to me, but I’m just a he/them who doesn’t want to be hit by asshole drivers being assholes and who freely gives them the finger when they’re dangerous.

No. That's theft. That's not how deposits work.

You lend out on shorter terms than you figure your depositor will need and pray they don't need it back. If they all do though, you're screwed.

It's statistical multiplexing as applied to piles of other people's money.
Even more: single, joint, retirement, revocable and irrevocable trust accounts all fall into different categories and are insured independently for each account owner in each bank (the joint account is 250k for all co-owners): https://www.fdic.gov/resources/deposit-insurance/financial-p...

Nope. Not even close.

The expression is redundant isn't it? Only systems can be programmed. You can't program a cinder block or a cardboard box. I think this is just an early way to say 'software development' and people got caught up on their own mental images of what 'systems' are to them.
I've heard people getting stuck with them after their mortgages were bought out, but I imagine not everyone has heard the horror stories, either. Someone else mentioned a 2% cash back card, but I have one of those from elsewhere, so it's hardly any reason to bank there.

I suspect people just bank there because it's big and available, but I don't think I will ever bank there, at least not on purpose.
yep, it's a solvency issue. The minute they tried to offload the bonds at a price lower than they paid for them (which seemed like the right thing to do to fix the liquidity issue), they were effectively in a hole and even if they waited 10 years later, would not have been able to cover the deposits.

They NEEDED to raise capital.

Their liabilities > assets.

They were 100% insolvent.

The balance of reserves are held in T-Bills, which are liquid and typically can only be traded during market hours.

Ok I'll buy that if you or I wanted to sell treasury bills, but... if a company needs to liquidate $10B of treasury bills over the weekend, can't they just call up the CEO of JPMorgan and say "hey we'll give you 10 basis points over Monday's 9AM rate" and make a deal happen?
I partially agree with you... except "The fact that they sold assets for a loss indicates that they are not." is not true. Firms sell assets at losses all the time -- that doesn't mean they are not solvent. That means they had a loss, but their assets were still greatly in excess of their liabilities (as reported by the FDIC 211b vs 195b).

What they were not able to do was have enough cash on hand to deal with a bank run.

What does owning a dollar even mean? Fundamentally, isn’t your dollar bill also a legal certificate with the Fed?
oh I did make my peace with it, so here I am wondering from a more of an analytical standpoint. This level of incompetence ($85b very bad investment? not putting customer's assets safety first?) is criminal negligence. I assume in any other industry that deals with citizen's livelihoods, where managers would mess up on such a scale, the outcome would be very harsh? Or am I mistaken?
> Not big enough to bail out, the regular people didn't get it either in the great recession.

Why the bail out comment though? FDIC doesn't run on govt money. So even if FDIC helps them out with amounts greater than 250k it won't come out of govt. money.
Curious what the efficient market hypothesis has to do with this?

Seems pretty opposite to me -- I would think if you are a value investor then the price may have dropped low.
Or you could hold short-term t-bills for any extra money over the FDIC insurance limit. Then you are good unless the US Gov goes bankrupt, which is a non-zero risk but much lower and different.
And, more importantly, are national banks regulated by the occ so they can't do the same kinds of risky things that svb & co can do. (They can do other risky things that they come up with historically, especially pre dodd-frank, but not this)
CRO of a failed/failing/sanctioned bank is not a resume builder. The good ones will definitely bail ("ethics") before it becomes public.

Maybe it's just because I haven't managed that kind of money on behalf of an organization, but it seems like you would get super paranoid about that aspect of things: spread your money between multiple banks, hold low risk assets with capital you don't immediately need, possibly even hold some in a straight up vault.
> Certainly less than face value

Their assets were higher than their liabilities. This is a liquidity problem, not a solvency problem. Everyone got their money from Lehman Brothers, and everyone will get their money from SVB. But not everyone is going to get it right away, because it is invested.
I dunno. Elon seemed to think he had things pretty figured out with Twitter's code base. :)

But seriously, I'm amused by this thread. We always belittle or downplay the complexity of systems we barely understand. Every software engineer ever exposed to any non technical management, product managers, or sales people has experienced this in spades. You go blue in the face with frustration trying to explain why "seemingly simple things" just are not as simple as people want to believe they are.

I've coded in mixed system designs for 30 years now. Experience has enabled me to see patterns I wasn't even aware to look for as a younger me. I see so much more and am available to evaluate so much more than ever before. But the most important thing that that "experience" has taught me is that this accrual of "experience" is not a convergent knowledge position. Sure, I see more than younger me's do, but I've also come to accutely embrace the notion that "the greater my sphere of knowledge, the greater my contact with the unknown." Complex systems like massive sprawling code bases are HARD. And so are highly intertwined economies.
No need to make assumptions given that they dug into that issue and the problem was algorithmic. As Bob points out that's orthogonal to clean code ideas. If you chose the wrong datastructure or algorithm and have quadratic complexity all the micro-optimizations in the world aren't going to help you.

The only strawman honestly is to pick someone at github writing shoddy code and then using that to argue against system architecture? It's pretty obvious that a text editor lagging on a paragraph of text isn't the consequnce of having wrapped something in a function. If you've written code slower than a human you don't have clean code, you just have bad code.
for many people there's nothing beautiful in a child's laughter, especially if they don't have children of their own, so they are only getting the annoyance of noise without the good parts.

moreover, in my experience, when children play, 80% of their interactions is ugly insult-throwing, not laughter.

Also, why should the wishes of a group (children) be more important than those of another (those who wish to enjoy some quiet in their own home)?

In this case, it would be easy to reach a compromise. You want to play basketball? go to a proper public park. You want to sing your lungs off? go to a proper karaoke place. And so on.

Also, what's the beauty of a laughter achieved at the expense of others' pain?
I've got some really bad news: Earlier today, Jim Cramer tweeted "JP Morgan is a fortress"

Yes, but see the thing here is that literally nobody things gas, oil and coal would ever like nuclear. Their hostility was foregone conclusion from the very moment of the invention of nuclear power.

To make nuclear power successful, support from the progressive part of society would have been required. Nuclear was more expensive then coal but not by that much and the benefits of nuclear were huge in terms of environment.

But if you have an environmental movement who is extremely against nuclear power, there is just very little left. The greens acted as if the nuclear industry was some juggernaut, when in effect it was tiny compared to fossil industry.

The early environmental opposition then influenced the overall leftist or liberal movement in general and nuclear was basically dead. Neither having strong support on the right or left.
Knuth very much pushed for efficient code. One need only look at the code he writes, to see.

Which is a large part of what makes that attribution amusing.
This [1] is a map of the war. To locate Bakhmut, find the most critical section of the war and go to the center of it. You will be at or near Bakhmut. Alternatively, locate highway 32 ("H-32") and follow it straight to the frontline. The battle for that city has been going on for about 8 months now; the rhetoric about it being strategically irrelevant only began once the tide began shifting.

But I think the real meaning of Bakhmut is not about its strategic value. What really wins battles, and wars alike, is morale. This is why things like propaganda and disinformation plays such a significant role. You try to keep your own side's morale high, while doing everything to break that of the enemy. If we imagine war only in terms of strategy then it's very possible that something like defense in depth [2] would be optimal for Ukraine. It's a massive country with lots of well fortified locations. Let the Russian forces overextend and suffer severe casualties advancing on ever fresh fortifications.

But the problem is morale. Each time you fall back you suffer a morale loss, and each time the enemy achieves victory they receive a morale boost. And in Bakhmut this has become critical. Both sides have suffered immense losses there, and so the ultimate conclusion of that battle is going to have a tremendous impact on morale. I think this is the main reason there's so much dispute on the proper strategy. You have to measure an immeasurable (morale/morale impact) in order to determine the proper action, all the while balancing this against the reality on the ground.

As a demo, yes, but would loading the model be fast enough for Siri-like responsiveness? You also would want to run other programs alongside it.

And of course, for Apple to adopt something like this, we would have to get rid of the tendency of these models to derail conversations. Put in something somewhat sexist/racist/…, and it will reply with something a bit more sexist/racist/…)

But yes, it would be a cool demo.
the curse (or blessing?) of cardinality
Is this MMT? There was a flurry of articles about it a couple of years ago, airily explaining that it’s fine for all the governments to print unlimited money now because they can just curb any inflation by raising taxes.

Ignoring the fact that elected governments do not, of course, do that.
Making it more complex for normal people is not the answer, you have to take into account the people you're trying to help or manage.

Making sure that politicians are incentivized to benefit society is most important, the risks are both that they will make bad choices because uninformed plebs want them to or they will make bad choices because lobbyists pay them.

If a movement gets riled up to abolish women's right to vote, no matter the amount of favor or lobbying, politicians should be able to be incentivized to listen to reason, right now there's nothing in place for that.

My suggestion would be voting on office time, we don't erase one sides votes anymore, they directly translate to office time, and every party is able to get into office each cycle, at the end of the cycle there's a pruning that happens where everyone votes on the policies that are made this cycle, the ones to get rid of. In this way only the best policies survive in a survival of the fittest strategy.

No more fight between two parties.

In some cases they were forced to used this bank by VCs. But even if not, if anything, they are the victims here. It is not like they could make full audit of bank prior decision or had any reasonable chance to see problems.

That is whole reason for having regulations and goverment audits.
Friends of mine who were acquired by VMware used SVB 2010-2015 because their investors preferred it.

20/20 hindsight: they were too niche and not diversified. It would've been a slam-dunk to send out flyers to local property owners in the South Bay Area and Santa Cruz Mountains.

For my consulting LLC, I went with Comerica because I figured SVB had the issues of being like a credit union but without CU behind it.

If I were in a founder's shoes today, I would stick to a credit union because they're potentially more flexible and it promotes a local co-op rather than a corporation out to monetize customers with an unknown risk profile.

That's fair. I was under the impression that when places give you the chance to put a portfolio/personal website link, the people reading your application glance through them.

I took a look at your resume. I feel I agree with most of the decisions you made (like prioritizing the projects).

Some comments on this (same disclaimer as before):

I have to wonder whether you would get more mileage out of shortening your summary statement to "Full stack web developer who will help your company succeed by completing projects on time and under budget." or eliminating it entirely. Certainly at least the large font "Summary Statement" can go, which would make room for you to add another project.

I can believe the other commenter here who said that not having a 4-year CS degree will make it more difficult to stand out. So I can agree with putting your education last. But also I have this feeling that most resumes I've seen put it first. So I'm wondering whether it would make more sense to just own it. Again, your projects seem pretty legit to me, which I think can help compensate.

Finally, I would spend some time trying to play with the wording of your bullet points. It can be easy to sell yourself short and just say things like "Built using the React.js library and Typescript." but like your portfolio website is actually really cool and I feel saying something like that doesn't convey how cool it is. Maybe to get you started you can try something like "Designed and built an interactive portfolio page with interactable elements that simulate terminal windows." The JSON part is pretty good but I bet you could embellish it a bit more too. Sorry I don't have great suggestions for this one - I struggle with it too. The other tip I can give is to write impressive numbers where you can. The canonical example is like if you can say "made processing widgets 25% faster" or "increased revenue by 10%," but I think there are ways you can be creative about this.

One miscellaneous point: have you been grinding leetcode/reading cracking the coding interview? Much like the SAT, a lot of these technical interviews are just testing how familiar you are with the format and questions. It's a kind of bogus indicator of competency if you ask me. If you do the grinding, you should be ready for most the tech interviews that come your way.
You are, but that was never in question.
All the concentration on "developer productivity" has lead to a massive loss of user productivity and wasted energy. Ironically, a lot of developers are also users, so they suffer just the same.

The worst part is, AFAIK it's not even clear that the recommendations in Clean Code are better for developer productivity, insofar as they create excessive complexity.

Another thing to note is that I've observed a significant fraction of users (and developers!) seem to have a very poor perception of time. You can replace an app they were using with one that is otherwise exactly the same but introduces a whole second of delay when interacting with the UI, and they wouldn't notice unless you gave them the two versions to compare side-by-side. Of course another significant fraction does notice, which is why you often see both "this new version is horribly slow" and "works fine for me, it doesn't feel any slower" opinions.
> Every US person pays for taxes on capital gains

Much of America never pays such taxes and has no such investments. About 40% (? IIRC) don't have $600 saved.

> taxes ain't zero for executives of large corporations

Taxes on wealthy are relatively low, in part because capital gains, the source of revenue for the wealthy, are taxed at a lower rate than income, the source of revenue for working class Americans.

> This extreme focus on taxation of corporations is bizarre.

I don't see the argument. Corporations pay relatively low taxes, and it has a large effect on other Americans who lack government services and have to pay more themselves to cover the corporations' share.

> You can try to bullshit the IRS but they will come down on you like a bag of bricks if you feed them a load of crap.

The GOP cut IRS enforcement to the bone, and it was restored only ~1 year ago.

Discover bank?
I know people who had their checking and savings at Washington Mutual when it failed in 2008.

The FDIC arranged for Chase to take it over. Nobody lost any money, and nobody I know had any problems with checks clearing or withdrawing cash at ATMs or paying their rent or mortgages.

I think the demise of Washington Mutual is still considered the biggest bank failure in US history, it happened while quite a lot of other bad things were happening, yet depositors ended up being totally fine. The systems in place for this are actually really good, and the FDIC is fast and competent.

Do your job? I mean if it is that complicated, it has to have some purpose and value behind it, also you wouldn't be hired or tasked to improve it. With redux there is a good chance the actions and state are at least very transparent, for example when using the devtools.

The NOAA page on the wreck (https://thunderbay.noaa.gov/shipwrecks/ironton.html) just has depth listed as "TBA", but the Ohio that it collided with is in >100m.

assuming it's in similar range, that's serious depth. Way into hypoxic trimix zone (ie: you'll be breathing gas that'd kill you if you were breathing it on the surface)

Looks fascinating, but almost certainly out of reach for all but the most extreme technical divers.
My thoughts exactly. He needs to train on his enunciation.
The current system was adopted for clearly political reasons - due to the outcome of the 1918 Swan by-election, which the ALP won because the conservative vote was split between the Nationalist and Country parties. The Nationalists were the direct ancestors of the current Liberal Party. If the system was invented to serve the needs of (one of) the major parties, who really believes that its survival isn’t because it serves the needs of both of them (or should I say, all 2.5 of them)
