Nuclear isn't succeeding, therefore by definition it's the government's fault. Because axiomatically nuclear is the best.

It's conspiracy theoretic cognition, what you get when someone firmly believes a falsehood.

Mike Crapo Republican of ID was the sponsor in the senate.

House roll call: https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2018216

Here is Trumps tweet on the subject.

For context, this rollback is actually a compromise. Jeb Hensarling of Texas lead a contingent that wanted to roll back Dodd-Frank entirely but it didn’t have the votes in the Senate because it was split more evenly between parties.

Dodd-Frank has been unpopular with conservatives since it passed. So what the lobbyists did was convince small town democrats to cross parties and vote for the bill saying it would strengthen small banks. And maybe it did! We haven’t seen a small bank failure since it passed and a few typically fail every year.

But it also let bigger regional banks off the hook.

I agree he shouldn't have been the center piece of the article. Because I don't think he was calling for a bailout.

But there are alot of laws that favor tech and most of the tech billionaires take lots of credit for winning with a stacked deck. And call for less regulation.

- sales tax exemptions for ecommerce.

- green credits

- section 230

- lack of stricter anti trust
You buy storage service from a company. Either you insure your storage, you make sure the storage company insure the entire storage or you risk the uninsured part.

The article points out that the libertarians turn authoritarian after they loose the amounts they have not insured - they call for somebody to ad-hoc insure it.

(In the same vein as this comment: Why should I risk loosing my expensive paintings to fire of theft when I deposit it with a storage company?)
Having worked in art-related fields which involve various dangerous processes, many people are cavalier about the dangers of toxins. They do not accept that safety equipment or precautions are worth the effort, and often gauge danger by whether they feel ill immediately so long/medium term hazards are ignored. It’s a combination of machismo, laziness and ignorance.

Do you have a link for this.

I found this:
"However, some of these diets contain levels of dietary fat that are much higher than the levels that humans routinely consume. The question has been raised as to whether experimental use of these diets with very high levels of fat adequately models the situation of human obesity."

Sounds a lot like the current setup is already pretty fucked when it comes to rewarding creators. So why limit people who are driven to create by restricting what they can and cannot use?

And just to be clear, people do write long, well-researched content for free all the time.

I'm all for holding Microsoft et al. to the same copyright laws they expect others to follow when it comes to their own works, but ultimately it would be in societies interest to not limit creators. Sure, maybe there are areas where we need to find ways to encourage creators but let's not do that by limiting everyone else.
Jim Blinn is a great guy.
The key is the file and folder picker methods (showOpenFilePicker() etc), allowing the web app to interact with existing files and folders on the device. OPFS does not allow that, as it's internal storage in the browser, like IndexedDB.
(Disclaimer: I am not a libertarian, though I was once.)

These arguments have a fundamental flaw, arguing that a libertarian enjoying some government benefit is "hypocrisy." This is nonsense.

Libertarian tech bros pay into our system just like everyone else. Given the progressive income tax, those who are billionaires likely pay more in years where they make money than just about anyone else. So if the government is in the position to offer money, what good does it do for them to refuse? If they refuse, will the government be embarrassed and adopt libertarians' preferred policies? It's no more hypocritical than a socialist defending her private property.

Personally, I think if libertarians are serious, they should seek out every government benefit they're qualified for, and encourage everyone else to do the same. If libertarians are right, then the shaky foundations of the Progressive system can be toppled over by overuse.

I think the real thing being unmasked is that libertarianism is often ideology without grounding in reality. They can't account for the world of second bests, and the Progressive system has twisted and destroyed so much of what was once free that getting to a libertarian world would be like a society-wide kernel panic.

Thiel deserves credit for being one of the (quasi-)libertarians who seems to recognize this and has attempted alternatives like that seasteading thing, though they typically haven't gotten off the ground.
OK, but the costs aren't coming from fancy coffee. They come from salaries of engineers. So the question is really about how many employees there are and how much those employees are paid. And maybe, secondarily, how many facilities are needed to provide space for a certain employee headcount.
> Being focused on his startup instead of maximizing the yield of these $35M allowed him to turn it into a $5.5Bn company.

In this case. I'd bet there are more than a few startups who would have survived if they'd spent a few hours on the phone with their bank to help manage funding cash more efficiently.
If a software engineer leaves a Tech company and then goes and works for a oil company are they a tech worker still? Or are they now oil workers?

I don't think mainstream media would consider that example as "tech worker" when the software person might be doing the exact same work. Mainstream media will likely use the words "tech worker" when referring to the 10,000 people at Meta that will be let go. There could be some food service people in that layoff. I bet articles with the words "tech worker" get more clicks than if they said a bunch of accountants or HR people were let go.

Labels are mostly meaningless. Its like a couple homeowners arguing about what type of grass they have in their lawn.
>> live coding capability

Since i was introduced to lisp, this is my number 1 desire everytime i write code. The js ecosystem gets a lot of hate but the power of some of the browser tooling coupled with some kinds of hot reloading (specifically the kind that maintains state), it can be super nice to work with.

EDIT: To be clear this isn't as powerful as the lisp version of this - i.e. the condition system and just the nature of how cheap/fast/quick changing code is in lisp while it's running, not the approximation way this is done in JS by stopping, swapping and potentially reinitialising

>> Smalltalk’s image also makes software deployment a breeze

When i started playing with lisp this was one of my first concerns, how do i deploy this? I was dreaming up all these rube goldberg scenarios with OCI container images. Turns out it's easy to tell sbcl to create an image (save-lisp-and-die - this would be like publishing a fat jar for a java dev) then to run that elsewhere (sbcl --core).

Everytime i poke at podman and buildah, i have this nagging annoying feeling about how much simpler this could all be.
Thank you, I’ve been confused about whether this product even potentially exists (as opposed to shotgunning your deposit across lots of banks to game the FDIC limit) and this is the first time I’ve seen it properly named.
I suspect GitHub actions put a massive dent in their product usage. I seem to remember they started to cut costs and restrict free usage some years back too, and that was the beginning of the end.

> the article says its open source definition is "too strict" because it says you must have "no pathway to commercialization"

What a load of crap. Free Software's "0th freedom" is the ability to use the program for whatever purpose you wish. The definition of Open Source is even looser than that. They are asking their "Open Source" users to make their software non-free, by restricting its use cases.

Anyway, the writing has been on the wall for a long while. If you haven't moved off Docker Hub yet, now is the time.
This is more about Docker hub than Docker.

So that means we are in fact about to have a banking collapse with major inflation?
when designing, thinking, abstracting, we are actually not writing any code. I sometimes use a whiteboard for example, of course CoPilot cannot help. Once we have your designed, thought-through implementation in your head, while you are typing in an editor, CoPilot definitely can help you write code faster (or slower if the output is not exactly what you have in your mind). I see it is a productive positive product.
Saw Sarah Parcak speak on this at her book launch @ The Explorer's Club (https://www.amazon.com/Archaeology-Space-Future-Shapes-Past/...). The current, viable remote observation approach for shipwrecks is to use satellite photos of sand plume disturbances near beaches to hint at underwater features worth further exploration.
It is kinda strange that developers who should be aware of their own costs think that these sort of services will be free forever or even available and never end. Specially when clearly there is not much monetization going on. Unlike when services are offered with adds.

Big players can carry the costs, but what can small ones really do once money runs out?

I installed Matomo analytics as a wordpress plugin.

I generally use firefox focus to browse the web, so any site includes my own would block google analytics.

My criteria was that I needed something that is a part of my blog and can also handle utm parameters so I can track where traffic is coming from.

This plugin fit the criteria, so I use it in addition to GA.

I believe it is GDPR compliant.
Not a chance of a natural implosion. CS is one of a very small number of globally systemically important banks.
There are multiple places. For sure other banks. JPM and other “too-big-to-fail” banks received billions of dollars in deposit inflows over the last few days[0].

But for me personally, I’ve been moving cash to US Treasury bonds, and based on recent bond prices, so have others. Short term treasuries were nearing a 5.1% yield as of early last week, and now are below 5% due to demand.

Last fall, I moved cash to HYSA accounts for a higher yield, because my bank was still paying 0.05% interest, presumably because they were loaded with low-yield treasuries and mortgage-backed securities.

In general, a bank is not a great place to park tons of money, at least that’s what I’ve learned. I’m tired of getting screwed by them. What the media calls “faith in the banking system” I call getting bent over. Of course there are valid uses for banks, especially in business. But I’m done parking large amounts of cash there.

One option is ask "will this adversely impact me or a loved one if I am wrong". IMHO, people unnecessary feel the need to have a conclusive opinion on most topics.
If someone asks “How am I supposed to do that?”, I'm going to explain it to them.
If you don't want to do something, simply say: "No."
So. Your argument is it’s too hard to create one so the two things are equivalent? I mean, maybe you could give this argument to ChatGPT to find out the numerous flaws in this reasoning, that would be interesting.
They are literally the same thing. "Intellectual property" comprises copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secrets.

>Also the presentation of something is an idea just like the something itself, so

This is exactly what copyright is. Copyright is based on the argument that the presentation of an idea is a unique correspondence to the idea, and constitutes a tangible item to which property value is attached. It's not intangible and ephemeral (an idea) or concrete and unremarkable (a piece of paper that the idea will be written on).

Are you a trader? I traded global rates markets from 2012-2020 and yellen was probably the best central bank head I saw. She was the most stable and consistent. I would argue she was the least beholden to market pressure out of any bank head, except perhaps Draghi, who just did not care much the last couple years. She was also the least likely to react to congress or press questions and cause unnecessary market volatility.

If you read this thread, you will find nauseatingly lots of such case where people are claiming exactly that. Furthermore, what “common sense” imply? Does common sense claim that computation can be done outside of physics?
EFS - this is what is being talked about here.

They didn't change any rules - they just followed the processes they already had - which was to declare the bank systemically important.
Seems unlikely to me. All this science fiction that believes the human spirit is better at things. It’s good storytelling but is it wise? Probably not. Tech gets better. Textbooks generally do not. And textbooks generally aren’t that great as they are now.
Or alternatively, should we be predicting that there will be a John Henry of AI?
Due to HTTPS, an ISP will not see which social media account someone is logging in unless it's somehow leaked in unencrypted form (unlikely).
Yes, history remembers well the efforts of those people, and their results.

And if you define who counts as "workers" and who the "owners" are just so, you can also add "fascist" to the list of people who advocate for a similar system (national socialists).

It's almost as if rhetoric that promises "workers" a way to take back the fruits of their labor from evil "owners" is a really great way for populist demagogues (on either side) to whip up a Revolution that installs a new groups of oligarchs as a central Party apparatus that effectively owns everything... on behalf of the Workers, of course.
Hmmm I think you're right.. the fire was at OVH.. But I recall something in the past 2 or 3 years about dataloss at Hetzner.

What are you doing here if you hate tech so much?
that's not scary at all.
I think this is a case of insurance coverage. The fact that there's some implicit coverage of excess amounts is not sustainable long-term. Just like we buy insurance in the unlikely event that our house is flooded or damaged by an earthquake, so too should companies with significant assets in banks purchase, on their own, insurance to cover the potential possible, but unlikely, situation of a bank bust causing them to lose most of their bank account funds. In this way the government can focus on insuring the general public, and those "too big to fail" can get private insurance to cover their own risks. This is just my opinion and a possibility. Certainly if governments want to come to the rescue or we have a "survival of the fittest" with the loudest, angriest parties getting their way, then we can run things that way as well.
Arguably looking at the whole picture means recognizing that some of these use cases will instead be done by traditional desktop apps that have far more invasive access often without needing to prompt the user for permission at all. In my view web browsers are a more secure and privacy-preserving option than that.
I’m more worried about the second order impacts here: what about all the container files that referenced these open source images? I imagine there are a lot more of those than those pushed to DockerHub.

I really try hard to understand this argument and I must be missing something and must be super stupid. Don’t languages like JavaScript have this and yet they can still do JIT and the base runtime is still in C++? Java itself has an official way to invoke C programs from Java applications and still has a JIT. And Java also has AOT compilers.

Sure. Crossing that FFI boundary is going to be expensive. But there’s lots of techniques to mitigate it or even in the limit eliminate it. if I recall correctly you can JIT a fast call that knows how to invoke the FFI directly without the extra indirection layer. Basically a fancy runtime LTO.

I think a huge part of it is CPython’s interest in keeping the core codebase as simple as possible which seems to be the overriding reason for why the global lock still hasn’t been removed (which iirc even Ruby pulled off at some point). Also the reason there’s no JIT afaict and why Pypy got started to prove it is possible to JIT (and frequently sees substantial gains vs cpython). The problem they’ve had is that CPython is a moving target and it’s hard to keep a parallel runtime up to date on a shoestring amount of funding. That’s why you see alternate approaches like numba (JIT’ed Python) which are less of a departure and Cinder (better budget). To me this seems like a CPython project actively hostile to JIT than C data structures meaning you lose some benefit to FFI overhead. Performance is a virtuous cycle too - when there’s enthusiasm about a language you get more and more people paid to make your language fast. For a while companies tried. Google gave up. Facebook only has it as a fork with a public plea for the maintainers of CPython to mainline literally anything.

The CPython maintainers feel like the biggest obstacle. No?

Amazon for example tries to capture these with the Lightsail offering [1] which is a separate product from the typical AWS offering (even though of course it runs on AWS but that doesn't matter in this context). No need to go with "raw" EC2 which would make things more complicated and more expensive if all you want to have is a couple VPS.

Potential solution? Make the bank board and C-suite pay for all the insurance out of their own compensation packages. And the the bank fails it comes direct out of their pockets.

When the bank fails, they end up living on the streets for their mistakes, and will never (hopefully) be able to do it again to another bank.
I'd like to see Docker succeed. They invented / formalized the space and deserve credit for that. They are probably doing the right thing with some of their development tooling (though maybe that should just be spun off to Microsoft) and ensuring images do not contain badware is something companies will pay for.

However, their core offering must be the leader if they want to survive. Devs must want to use "docker run" instead of "podman run" for example. Docker needs to be the obvious #1 for starting a container on a single machine.
Of course, I can do a lot of record revenue and earnings selling five dollar bills for $4. I'm curious what a path to profit would look like...is this kind of squeeze the only way to get there?

Ok, so when will the double-digit inflation kick in?
Image hosting at scale is an expensive business and Docker are not the only ones trying to manage the costs.

Kubernetes is currently in the process of changing the main repository for their images because, as I understand it, they're burning through their free GCP credits an an unsustainable rate.

Ideally Docker Hub would be an industry funded effort, but that would require co-operation and funding from the major tech. players, and I have a feeling that in an era of cost cutting, that might be harder to achieve than it was in the past.

One of the things the docker api has going for it is that it is hash based. Aside from the first time, it doesn’t seem far fetched for a docker api client to refuse or warn based on comparing the new download’s hash to the previous hash.
If you choose the right niche and use stable libraries there is no need to constantly chase the latest framework or software architecture. A lot of the endless development cycle is self induced work.
I would say 'yes'. Banks should start offering fully insured accounts (maybe they already do) and those accounts should cost more and possibly have different liquidity profiles.
and how do you "calculate what word is most probable" next for a combination of words that has never occured before? Note that most sentences over about 20 words have statistically probably never been written in human history before.

The whole reason there is an AI here is because a markov chain, which is what you are describing, doesn't work beyond one or two word horizons.

Not to mention that it doesn't just select which word it thinks is MOST probable, because that has been shown to lead to stilted and awkward output. Instead it randomly selects from the top few thousand possible words with probability based on the model's estimation
