Do you own capital or work for it? If the latter, congrats, you're a worker.

And again, HN people living in their little US coastal bubble thinking that the rest of the tech world is as privileged as them. When I started I earned less than a factory worker in my town. Presumably because they wore blue overalls instead of a hoodie they were "real" workers and I wasn't...or does there have to be some level of salary where I can be declared "posh" and no longer a worker?
I apologise for jumping to conclusions!
Are you serious? How do you think companies that earn over 1M per month operate? Do you think they all receive the cash on the same day and make the payouts on that day itself?

> you should have had to accept the risk that you might lose anything above those $250k.

This laughably impractical. If you run any medium/large SaaS company you have payments continuously rolling in and you have to build up a balance to pay the salaries. The bank account is in a constant state of flux and a lot of times its at multiples of the insurance limit because a certain payment hasn't gone through yet, and a large advance just came in. Are you expecting every company to risk manage these large amounts in real time? Is that where companies should be spending their resources on? What's the point of having financial institutions and regulations when you're expected to micro manage basic aspects of the financial rails the whole economy runs on.
SVB takeover was mainly a bailout of startups and startup insiders IMO. Backstopping banks is the FDIC's job. Making sure Peter Thiel's companies can make payroll is not. Maybe it was still the right thing to do, and maybe enough Ivy-trained lawyers can make it seem legal eventually, but to every outside observer it's clear that the law was not part of the decisionmaking process. This was purely and only about bailing out well-connected Valley investors/founders/intelligence assets.
Paper here: "Codon: A Compiler for High-Performance Pythonic
Applications and DSLs":
https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3578360.3580275

"Currently, there are several Python features that Codon
does not support. They mainly consist of runtime polymorphism, runtime reflection and type manipulation (e.g., dynamic method table modification, dynamic addition of class
members, metaclasses, and class decorators). There are also
gaps in the standard Python library coverage. While Codon
ships with Python interoperability as a workaround to some
of these limitations, future work is planned to expand the
amount of Pythonic code immediately compatible with the
framework by adding features such as runtime polymorphism and by implementing better interoperability with the
existing Python libraries. Finally, we plan to increase the
standard library coverage, as well as extend syntax configurability for custom DSLs."
“Bear Stearns is fine! Do not take your money out!” - Jim Cramer, March 11, 2008

Silicon Valley Bank has "room to run." Jim Cramer, February 8, 2023

Cramer will have to forgive folks who don't exactly consider him a credible predictor of whether the Fed is going to make a "soft landing."
Is FDIC, which is paid for by banks, "the government"?
Oh god. We are doomed.
Exactly. Let’s not be so quick to say “the regulators failed”, particularly when the case is that even if the regulators did somehow fail and not have stronger regulations removed by Congress leading to said failure, these financial firms as a business failed first by making poor business decisions.
Serious question, though: how many services have they offered over the years that were free to anyone?

Free to existing Windows users, perhaps, but free to the world doesn’t seem like something Microsoft was historically in a position to offer, much less later kill.
It is indeed a silly conversation, because you apply nitpicking and tangents to a term that refers to a culturally comprehensive concept that the reader is supposed to understand in context.

The term "bro" refers to the clique aspect, same as "fraternity" or "sorority". It could have been "tech sis", but the majority of tech bros were male, certainly at the time the term was coined.
Or the majority of market participants were not aware of this limit.
Create a model of abstraction? Are you familiar with the concept of “hand waving”. You might as well just say “you can ask a human a question abs get an answer and you can do the same with ChatGPT, therefore they are equivalent.”
Banking stocks are down as unlike the 2008 bailout capital is now at risk. Rules may matter but the Trump signed roll-back of Dodd-Franks removed these. This created an invitation to load up on risky assets which on aggregate are estimated 600B under water. We have removed rules preventing systemic risk. Now we face systemic risk. Crying for narrow rule adherence is not situational adequate.
The catch is they lack enterprise features. No PCI DSS, not more than 25(?!) Servers per Network etc.
Sure you can workaround these limitations, but thats the catch.
Yes, if you're a devout adherent to the Cramer Rule
CSS runtime performance – Nolan Lawson (2022) [video]
"It was particularly unfortunate that this was happening to a sector that has historically rejected state interventions of any kind, railing against attempts at heavier regulation and insisting all its problems would be solved if only the government would just back off. "

What an utterly silly claim, demonstrating the author's ignorance. The IT industry, based in Silicon Valley, worked hand-in-hand with governments at all levels from municipal to federal-- taking subsidies and giving innovations in return.

Not only that, but technologists rejecting state intervention?! California is THE nanny state-- California & the Bay Area are hot beds for demands for government intervention-- particularly of the neomarxist variety.

Frankly, because the meaning and purpose of "diversity" has been corrupted to the point that it actually causes issues like the one described. Similar to the corruption of the word "racism".

I think you're missing the point by assuming git branch renaming is the primary (only?) cost. Diversity (meaningful diversity of thought and opinion, that is) actually has business value. That's the reason it was pushed so hard from the top way back in the day, it was seen as a means to improve product offerings and problem solving processes.

These days "diversity" is nothing more than a euphemism for weird racial, sexual orientation, and gender fetishes. These "diverse" workplaces are, ironically, echo chambers for the same patterns of thought based around the idea that superficial characteristics like gender and skin color are meaningful predictive traits
> At some point in the past we had a lot more Mercury-to-Mars-sized things floating around than we do now. How long ago the last one got eliminated is anyone's guess, but it was almost certainly a few billion years.

The last one hasn't been eliminated - we still have Mercury and Mars. You probably don't think of it that way because we think of the existing planets as constants, not variables.
MIT does not consider legacy in their admissions process.* My kids may be more likely to be admitted to MIT because I've spoken fondly about it, because we've done a lot of engineering projects growing up, because we've supported their STEM education, because we knew how to navigate standardized testing, etc.

But it won't be because there's an "if (legacy_p) admit_chance++;" in their process.

To me a libertarian is just anyone who thinks everyone is, and should be, a sociopath, and build their views off of that. Although they prefer the term "self-interested rational actor". Or they might not even admit that terminology, but if you dig into their views they will reduce to it even if they don't realise that themselves.

Of course it's well known by now, and even most modern economists have accepted this: the vast majority of people are not in fact wholly self interested. Though they are still rational in the sense that preferences are transitive.

As long as we don’t share ownership in these platforms, nothing will ever truly belong to us. For Docker, the software, a Libre alternative is Podman. Instead of GitHub, use Codeberg, an open organization and service.

Now we need a Docker registry cooperative owned by everyone.

Translation: due to the banks not being sufficiently stress-tested to assure resiliency under reasonable rate fluctuations.

Your sputtering rage and denial of the obvious is pretty illustrative of my point about crypto's toxicity and cultish obsessiveness.

Do you have any NFTs or ICOs or shitcoin rug pull scams you want to shill, or are you finally too embarrassed to do that in public under your own account because of the toxicity of crypto?

Why don't you prove it's not toxic by telling us how much and why you love and recommend crypto yourself, and explaining what it's actually good for?
The state of the internet is so horrid that I can't even use privacy mode in FireFox to log in to Slashdot, of all sites. I get endless captcha challenges and can not log in.

I think they elaborated in the remainder of their comment. The point seems to be that following patterns and programming for future use necessarily slows you down because it detracts from just making the damn thing work right now.

And at an early startup, making the damn thing work is all that really matters. (I'm at a laterish startup and we do attempt to follow some process and patterns where it would structure things enough to enable cleaner onboarding as we grow).
Yeah this previous comment is probably just good ol' fashioned misogyny. There's no consensus that Yellen is quick to fold from the previous crisis - these people also have real responsibilities so it's not necessarily 'folding' anyway to respond to stakeholders.
Presumably the journo doesn't really understand the differences between power and energy. They probably just picked the numbers out of a press release.

It's even more confusing when they mention older vehicles charging at 11.5kW. All that being said, I'm not sure what utility is really being served by having the charger? I guess as a recovery method for stranded vehicles? Is it just a grid-power inverter?
Wow you managed to load a ton of sexism into a short comment!

Or you could just insure your deposits like I am sure all big companies do.

Just like banks bigger than SVB remember to hedge their currency risks (Which one could argue that SVB with a 88b$ position probably should have considered also).

Actually, having started a company in Denmark, this was an offer the bank we got bank account with had.

It is actually laughable that you can assume that one can run a million dollar company without considering insuring your deposits.

By the day I tend to refer to people who are professional AI ethics types.

Not sure what you're getting at with the rest of your comment. I would also classify most science fiction as pretty solidly out of touch with what reality is going to look like. It shows us exaggerated aspects of what writers think the future is going to look like, not realistic predictions.
As someone who's been bitten by this, I'm not sure if it's an issue with podman itself as much as the tools which expect docker. It could be argued that podman is not a docker drop-in replacement, but I expect more and more tools to pick it up.
It also uses 64-bit ints instead of the infinite size ints in CPython.

Sounds like an issue that could easily bite someone in the behind and cause quite nasty bugs.

I used to work in an automotive wire manufacturing plant. One of the plastic coatings we used was PVC. When the operators would have quality problems (centering the copper within a few mm of the plastic sheath or uneven sheath surface defects), they would suspect their tooling (tip + die) was in some way dirty or compromised. The proper way to remediate was to shut down the line (plastics extruder, pulleys, etc) and replace the tooling with a fresh clean set. Then restart. Total cycle time might be 30 mins. Unfortunately, this came at great expense to the operator in lost efficiency since they were paid by productivity (how much good quality wire was produced during their shift) which obviously took a serious hit. So, in spite of warnings about the dangers of toxic fumes (phosgene), they would take the personally efficient and lucrative shortcut of running a blow torch against the suspect tooling while the line was in motion until the quality “wrinkle” was ironed out (e.g some rogue piece of hardened plastic on the tooling has been melted/burnt away). Problem solved and paycheck protected. It was a daily occurrence to see little plumes of smoke regularly wafting upward periodically across 7-8 separate production lines and settling in the top 1/3 of the factory airspace. Phosgene was undoubtedly a large component. No amount of admonishment and warning can be effective when it hits the operators wallet. For those unaware of phosgene, “ When vinyl chloride burns, it releases hazardous chemicals such as phosgene and hydrogen chloride into the air. Phosgene is a colorless gas with a pungent odor that can cause vomiting and breathing difficulties“ [0]

Simpler answer that doesn’t require weird psychoanalysis: bro is used because of the perception (possibly reality?) of the ratio of men to women in tech.
That’s about my experience too. Which is far too fiddly for us to rely on at work for production tasks. I basically keep checking back every six months or so: I’m hopeful that in a year, year and a half, I could replicate what we’ve done with our project on esp-rs entirely. Fingers crossed anyway, but right now there are quite a few showstoppers.
Ah, that's probably the case, true. Never had it happen to me but that's very anecdotal.
I appreciate that, but:

1. If google is paying fastly, what prevents google from paying fastly some more to divulge the user information as well? As far as I understand ohp, the model assumes that the three parties are not aligned which is not true for the fastly:google connection.

2. Even 1. is not true, if the encrypted body is not salted, it is effectively just a unique hash of the original url, which means that forth party could make inferences about the content of the message by encrypting many possible url-s of interest through the google key encryption. Salt is not mentioned in the article.

I'm not a chrome user, so it is just random curiosity. In fact I like Google and many of the things that they've made affordable to the world, but I also do not like tracking of people for most reasons and for most of the ways it is done.
We don’t get paid even close to $2k/hr. Where is that number from?
Many physicians type notes, others use dragon dictation, or medical assistants/scribes.

I used to type, now I dictate.

Quality of note is provider dependent though. If an LLM can improve quality of notes across the board through simple summary that’s interesting. But the input matters - is the provider actually asking the right questions? Did they look at past relevant history and other notes and put it in their current note?

The LLM should be in a HIPAA compliant environment and have access to the EMR. Then it provides a tidy summary for that. Second it should have relevant questions for the provider to ask during the interview but also a real time/dynamic component which generates relevant follow up questions dependent on patient responses.

Lastly it should put together the old and the new and generate a new note which can then be edited by the provider. Editing notes is much easier than generation of a new high quality note.
And insurance won’t even matter. Credit default swaps were suppose to be insurance and those holders were bailed out in 2008/9, remember AIG?

In 2008/9, The fact that a solidly red administration (Bush) wrote the check and a solidly blue administration (Obama) delivered it on bended knee to the banking industry made it clear who really ran things.

At no point did I say Google Docs is the best that can be done. But the efficiency with which it matched Office and blew OpenOffice out of the water ought to be of note. People weren’t just okay with office software in their browser, they flocked to it.

There are two issues I see here. One, it's not analogous because you're talking about physical property which is not intellectual property. One might be offended because it means the person they gave the bike to doesn't value it and really just wants to get money. They could have given it directly to someone who really wanted a bike. That's irrelevant when something can be copied for free. It would be more like if you were really good at fixing bikes and showed someone how to be good at it to, and they used what they learned to open a paid bike repair shop.

Re the actual bike thing (which has nothing to do with the discussion) I wouldn't be offended if the person sold it. In the hypothetical example, I got the enjoyment of fixing the bike, apparently gave it to someone no strings attached, and he's found a way that maximizes the utility he gets out of it. What's the problem?

Saving user's work to IndexedDB turned in to a real problem for us for a similar reason: sometimes users go in to their browser settings and click an option with wording like "clear cookies", and then it also wipes IndexedDB and all their saved work. I don't know if that applies to OPFS, but saving to the real file system (rather than just OPFS) seems a lot safer, and also integrates well with other tools, like backup software.

I've also long felt that "cookies" is a really poor term - these days it really refers to "storage on your local device accessed by websites", and the confusion literally leads to data loss.

I poked around with Smalltalk recently. The language fits of a postcard. Great, but so what? How do I input and output from files, and all the other stuff that I want to do?

I also think Racket suffers from the same problem. The libraries are documented, but how do I use them to do something?

The advantages of mainstream languages is that they have a plethora of documentation.

I'd say that if you want your language to succeed, adopt a cookbook approach. Nobody wants to figure out how all the pieces of the jigsaw should be put together.

For all that, I don't think anyone has really come up with anything better than C++, Python, or similar (Rust, if you /must/).
its just going to keep getting worse and worse because there's no competitive advantage to responsible behavior. At this point you're a fool if you don't take unreasonable risks with your money.
It sometimes feels people really like dunking on those impacted by this especially since there's a lot of schadenfreude about SV and especially the VCs that embarrassed themselves, but I feel like the correct answer isn't "hahahaha those idiot companies didn't make 100 bank accounts and perfectly shuffle everything in realtime", but "hm, isn't it a bit strange that we're incentivised to go to extremes with this relatively inefficient activity"
I don’t believe this statement is true at all. One can learn simply by writing and receiving feedback on their writing. The training corpus is merely a helpful starting point.

You could easily build a good model on model outputs. Building a model on curated outputs may well be more useful than training a model on a collection of human outputs tainted by human stupidity for some purposes.

Already we have a decent ability to coverage new functionality these models by chatting rather than retraining. So long as a generalizing capability is built into it.
My point isn’t about local file system access. OP said that if you’re making a complex app it should be native. I was pointing out that millions of people use complex webapps every day, adding file system access is a logical attempt to meet an audience where it is.
