The limit in your examples is more time than language. Ample language could exist to describe a sunset. Language is extremely flexible and good poets constantly find ways to make words describe deeper and deeper concepts. The problem is that you could spend a hundred years expressing your thoughts of a sunset and only scratch the surface.

Your argument seems similar to saying that infinite numbers are "so ridiculous it verges on not even being worthy of being called unfalsifiable" because you can't count that high.

They were insolvent before the bank run, that's why they needed the firesale and emergency equity raise to stay afloat. If they were able (allowed) to hide that fact and get the money quietly elsewhere, we may never have known. Or perhaps they would have continued to lose money and fail later, with depositors taking a larger haircut.
On the one hand, knowing what we know now, I certainly agree it would be preferable if he wasn't arrested.

On the other hand, the neighbour had made at least 4 reports to the police about harassment and death threats. I believe the neighbour's brother and parents had also spoken to the police in support of these claims. On the day of the arrest, the neighbour had _just_ made the most serious claim yet--about death threats.

Given that context, I can understand why the police legally have the right to arrest, and would be willing to arrest.
Just say you have bad acne and all will be forgiven!
I don't think that holding to maturity really solves the fundamental problem though. The reason the MBS have lost value is because they have a low coupon compared to what you can get now. To execute the hold to maturity strategy, they would have to pay the depositors interest with the coupons from the MBS.

Under ZIRP, the depositors weren't getting anything, and so making 1.5% on MBS was fine. In the current interest rate environment, depositors won't be satisfied with a zero yield on their deposit accounts, and the MBS don't pay enough to cover it, so either they lose depositors because they're not paying competitive interest, or they take a loss every day because their investments don't cover the cost of the deposits.

Ultimately keeping the bonds on the books as HTM just spreads out the loss over the lifetime of the bonds rather than recognizing it right when interest rates change, but the result is the same.
That is something a decent type system should solve - make it impossible to pass 'incomplete values' on, so any state further on which depends on the error handled/not handled will expect the appropriate type and compiler will error at that call site.

An unused variable means you weren't passing it on anywhere so there is no code which depends on its value, so how can it be a bug?

future = x.do_async();
return;

should not error out because of 'unused variable', it should give a error message concerning the lifetime of the future object.

You just renew them late. There's a risk that you'll need them right then, sure, but generally those mistakes don't lock you out of fixing them for the future. However, a domain is easily irrecoverable.
weird this got voted down, because this is one example where I think having a blog does work over ChatGPT; "problems that you as a user don’t know questions to" Same reasons you would read a book. You need to know enough to ask questions.

Yes, bank deposits are a liability for the bank, which is why a bank won’t increase the amount you have in your account if you ask nicely. You have to pay them. If someone’s bank account went up by $1 million, the bank better have gotten $1 million more in assets from them somehow, or something weird is going on.

(Often, the asset comes from the bank making a loan. You can pay later.)
We need more limited series.

A show should be ordered for a season or three with the understanding that it'll come to a creative conclusion at the end of the predefined period.

That way, every show has a creative conclusion.

Sure that is the regulation, but just because it’s a regulation doesn’t mean it’s all you should do for risk management, it’s just the bare minimum.

If the present value of a bank’s assets are lower than the present value of deposits, that is insolvency: calling it illiquidity just because the bank doesn’t want to sell its actually-liquid underwater assets right now is a cop-out.

Maybe it's just scale. Because my brain can write something longer that was 'thought out', doesn't mean it isn't responding like an LLM. Maybe articles on AI just trigger me and I spew the same arguments. I think a lot of people have just rote responses to many situations, and maybe if they have enough rote responses, with enough variety, they start to look human, or 'intelligent'. Yeah, its more complicated than a bunch of If/Then's. Doesn't make it not mecahnical.

I feel most banks are coasting off the inertia from longtime and/or unsophisticated customers.

Up until I switched to a neobank late last year to get some actual yield on my savings, I'd been using the same brick-and-mortar checking and savings account I opened in high school.
I think coredog64 is speaking more generally. The bank in the article was foolish. Other banks can still encounter real problems with too much cash on hand... granted they don't have to go hog wild on MBS or anything like that.

I wrote a blog post yesterday about clean coding. Well, actually I asked ChatGPT to write it for me because I was lazy to start it. Then I wrote the following:

"Well, why would anyone write about anything anymore unless it’s something very specific and unknown. From ChatGPT I see that clean coding is a well established concept. I feel so because I agree with most of the things it says."

So I feel what you are saying. At the same time I think blog posts might evolve to hybrid things where you just talk to an AI and share your thoughts on its output.

Yeah, but they bought bonds to make their numbers work. They had a choice of getting like 0.08% in overnight funds or 0.36% in short term T-bills or locking it up and getting ~3% in MBS. They chose the latter to make more money. If they had chosen the former things would have been far less critical.

In retrospect this was a huge risk. They locked up way too much money in long term securities for how flighty their deposits could be.

OpenAI is treating GPT as a "foundational model". They spend time training the foundational model, then build on top of that. GPT was published may 2020. GPT 3.5 ("text-davinci-003" and "code-davinci-002") shipped a year ago, and ChatGPT was just a fine tuned on top of those.

So they've had plenty of time to increase the training set, improve the architecture and run GPUs full power to get a GPT-4.

Funding and public interest.

LLMs have been around for a while and they aren't really that different than they were a few years ago tech-wise. The question was always about being able to get good data and compute power for training/running them.

Now that people understand the capabilities of the tech, it's got potential for profit and there's incentive to throw money at it.

‘Much’ is a relative term; there may be more absolute lines being written today than at its relative peak. But I see the spaces where a green-field project would choose C shrinking; even lightbulbs run C++ now that economies of scale have made 32-bit controllers so cheap. (I've written a lot of C, including parts of a C compiler, so I know it well, and I'm just not seeing it get much attention now. But if I could write Zig in a job I do think that would be more fun than writing C in a job again.)
There's a lot of sites out there that try to answer questions people are likely to search for specifically to monetise via ads. GPT probably kills them all if it becomes more popular than standard web search and then GPT slowly becomes outdated because people have no reason to publish the information GPT needs.

> To me the thing that is difficult to wrap my head around is how congestion control, back pressure, and buffering at various levels work.

Snarky answer: that's because they don't.

Attempts at humor aside: It really helps to understand a bit about queuing theory to wrap your head around these things. Each packet being an independent event has some unintuitive consequences. Each switch or router or etc (middlebox) in the path from one endpoint to the other adds the packet to a queue (which is what the buffers are), and that queue may be filled by other flows coming into the middlebox from different ports.

That $209 billion number was not marked to market. Their assets weren't worth that much then, and they're worth less now.

The cold, hard fact is that if the bank had sufficient assets to let depositors withdraw their cash, then they wouldn't be in receivership now.

You can argue that they actually do have sufficient assets, but they just can't access them right now, and we just need to wait ten years for bonds to mature.

But that argument only makes sense if you also say that large depositors should wait ten years to get their money out.

Naturally, a dollar that you might receive ten years from now is worth a lot less than a dollar you can actually spend today, and if regulatory sleight of hand obscures that essential fact to bail out the 1% of the 1%, that would be extraordinarily unjust.
For sure, but a person with principles should act on them, otherwise they are just words.
Yeah wtf.
HN's best defense against that is probably that it doesn't take many flags from older accounts to kill a comment from a new account.

Whether these accounts were one person with an axe to grind, trolling by someone who doesn't really believe the arguments they were making, or coordinated activity by an organization, none of the comments stayed up longer than 15 minutes.
If this turns out to be true, I hope it's a watershed moment in the tech industry. Lots of middle management in other companies will be sweating since they'll need to do something better than just asking "hey, when do you think this can be done?".

I'm one half of a London-based rock duo called Automatic Panic [0] and would love to chat about our approach to making music. In fact, we're running a little blog series on this very topic right now [1].

We love experimenting with how recording techniques affect performances and how the finished music then comes across. A lot of our stuff is recorded to and mixed from tape. We self-record everything and have done so wherever there's a good enough acoustic.

If you'd like to listen, our latest EP was, somewhat coincidentally, released just yesterday and we're working on a full length LP to release later this year. I've put a Spotify link [2] but you should also be able to stream from our website [3] and I think we're on most major other streaming platforms.

I'm loving this newsletter and I hope to hear from you soon at band [at] automaticpanic.co.uk :)

Fuck you Capitalism. I hate you.
Shareholders are last in the line of creditors, shares will be worthless only if bank is insolvent not illiquid as it currently is.

While it may emerge that bank is indeed insolvent after the accounting that is not yet the case , so the value is only unknown not necessarily zero.

Also the market value includes the estimated risk which is very higher when there is lack of clear information and uncertainty.

After the dust settles , risk is becomes better understood with more information then shares can be better priced

Alternatively the assets are fully liquidated with which all depositors and bond holders are made whole anywhere between $45B and zero would be left

Guess we better outlaw everything but fruits and vegetables then.
It looks like since 1/1/2014 (convenient stopping point for my scrape), FDIC takeovers resulted in an average of 76% of what's owed paid out (range 0%-98%). My guess is the <50% payouts were mostly fraud rather than a situation like this where it's a more traditional liquidity event, so I'd suspect it'll be above average, probably in the 80-90% range.
As someone who was considering using one of those "banks" in the coming months, this whole ordeal makes me want to stick with Chase, Wells Fargo, etc. Stripe integrations be damned.
The world isn't printf debugging or debugger only.

Some things are really amenable to the debugger, especially simple bugs. Really especially ones that should have been caught by static analysis anyway but that's a separate issue.

The issue is that firing up a debugger can easily become a fishing expedition. If you don't understand the system behavior and you don't know where the real problem is, you can end up manually stepping through many many layers of a system trying to see what it's doing. Add asynchonicity and this can take hours before you get to the 20 lines of logic that is the actual problem.

Ideally you have better logging and introspection, so the problem is caught in a way that leads you to those 20 lines immediately.

And of course design can make a huge difference in how understandable and localizable things are.

The problem a lot of inexperienced developers run into is if they are used to having a featureful debugger available it can become the only tool they have in their toolbox, and they are rewarded by how quickly it helps them fix the kind of mistakes their inexperience leads them to making a lot of. When they run into a real issue, they can be hitting "step" for hours....

The other pernicious side of this particular coin is that it can lead to localized understanding of the problem and make it really easy to apply a localized solution. With inexperienced people this can quickly lead to band-aid solutions all over the place. With any luck someone more experienced is looking it over and pointing out they should go after the actual problems, but left unchecked it can make a real mess.
More like telling the whole world "you're not allowed to copy this, because I wrote it" and threatening everyone with imprisonment or fines if you do. So everyone has to buy it through him, or else. To feed his family.

That is what copyright law fundamentally is.

We all learn from other people, just because I came up with an idea, I cannot tell other people "you're not allowed to use it". It violates other peoples natural right to autonomy to do so.
Some may do it as a form of immortality, if these truly are 'foundational' models someone may want to feed as much of their identity and ways of thinking into them by way of flooding online discourse.

So all future models contain some morsel of their being. And the more original the person's ways of thinking, and expressing, the more influence they have on the model, as their thoughts are not as easily compressed or aligned with common embeddings.
All production line work is intense. You're going to be doing the same small task, to quota, the whole shift.
So how did the police find out about the identities of the 10 people who have never been arrested? Because they posted to social media about them attending a demonstration? How was it connected to them being demonstrators? Where their identities collected during protests but they weren't arrested? Article leaves that open.
I don't know what you mean about it being false. If you circumvent the API license by making tons of tokens and connecting from different IPs it is possible- much in the same way that a bank has free money if you rob it.

The bubbles are entirely different. In dot com days companies were founded, funded and even IPO'ed with no business plans, few/no customers, no product-market fit and mostly grounded in "build it and they will come" notion. Quite a large proportion of dot coms was made up of companies that should never have been companies in the first place.

While there has certainly been some optimistic investment (looking at crypto in particular), the problems are nowhere near as systemic as they were in 2000. By and large, companies have products, products have customers, customers pay money. Clearly valuations have run way too high and are correcting, but it's a different unwinding process vs "umm, turns out there's nothing here."
They did it for the thrill and because they could. It was a different time.
