Credit Suisse shares fall to record low as top investor rules out more funding
I used to love Mint, but since the population boom in Central Florida it is entirely unusable due to being a low priority network. This means on many occasions you will have almost no bandwidth, I am talking cannot stream Spotify bad. The worst IMO is traffic jams, the one time I really want to listen to music and it will start cutting out.

If you're downtown there is a 80% chance you will not even be able to load a website or youtube, its basically unusable.

I know T-Mobile is working to up capacity, but I had to switch to Google Fi to get any real reliability.
Yes, but it's a game of telephone that does make it annoying for HN readers to try and actually understand what's being presented, so it should be discussed and corrected if possible.
> maximize the capital extracted

Cause and effect may be the reverse.

Capitalism simplifies and commodifies, to extract more of the surplus.

Consolidation is often rationalized with the goal to "reduce redundancies" (and passing the "savings" onto consumers, naturally).
"I have to be bad because if I'm not, someone else will be" is not a valid justification for anything.
I think Ryan Reynolds was more careful than most about protecting his personal brand, AFAIK he didn’t promote crypto and that got even Larry David (though his framing of it does give him a rather funny out).

I’m more inclined to trust personal brands than corporate brands as there is an actual person who will personally receive shit if there is fallout. Famous people like Matt Daymon and Tom Brady are going to have a hard time forgetting what happened as there will always be someone around to remind them whenever they get a chance.
It depends on the TTS software involved: some were outright skipping the characters which is worse than the ASCII version, but I consider that to be a bug of that software.
I think you can get away with these restrictions since most of our grandparent’s lives, they didn’t have much access to these services.

But what do we do when we get old? Will we be rational enough to disconnect ourselves? What if we don’t have any children that can help us make this decision?

Maybe. But not in the way you are probably thinking. Executing Louis XVI didn't get rid of their royalty. They came back again after the revolution/Napoleon. And Napoleon's nephew Charles Louis reigned as Emperor Napoleon III from 1852-1870. They haven't had any (recognized) monarchs since 1870, but even to this day there are descendants of both the Bourbon kings and the Napoleons who (semi-seriously) claim to be the rightful monarch of France and given themselves numbers.
Looks like they recently made up: "UK Labour Party is pro-Israel again, says chair of its visiting friendship group"

But the entire point of computing current assets is to understand the effects of rapid withdrawals from the bank. If you are trying to predict the future value of the bank or how much money they will make then looking at the value at maturity makes sense. But the regulatory system doesn't (or shouldn't) care about that. The regulatory system should be concerned with estimating and mitigating the risk of sudden bank failure.

You could get an 'Illuminatus!' type book out of this, especially if you steered the ending a bit in order to reference earlier stuff. If you're trying to make a sprawling epic that flings a kaleidoscope of ideas, GPT can do that sort of thing, it's just that it won't end up making sense.

GPT is going to be rather poor at priming people for an amazing ending by seeding the ideas and building them into the narrative. Though if you're directing it with enough granularity, you could tell it to do that just like you'd tell yourself to do that when you're doing the writing yourself.

But then you're becoming the executive writer. On a granular enough level, the most ultimate executive control of GPT would be picking individual words, just like you were writing them yourself. Once you want to step away and tell it to do the writing for you, you drift more into the GPT-nature to the point that it becomes obvious.
To be fair, the electorate didn't vote for Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak, they were voted in by Tory membership, who are mostly old and wealthy and don't really care about the plight of the working class up and down the country.

But you are right, people voted for awful leaders like Boris Johnson because they presumably value a comedic personality over honesty and integrity, and because the Tory press do an excellent job of denigrating candidates from any party who don't serve the media owners' own interests.
The ease and magnitude of this presumably human-generated extent of "confirmation" leaves one with a profound sense of loss on behalf of human cognition and its foregone limitations.
This is great feedback. I will update to be more accessible.
It's clear that Russia is getting more and more adversarial, the question is where is the line where money matters less than ensuing pure global chaos. New oligarchs and billionaires will be made in a new world.
These are good ground rules. Fortunately or unfortunately, my parents were scammed once pretty early on, I believe for a small amount, so they are well aware of what to look for. But after 10 more years of cognitive decline? 20 more? Who knows if they'll still be on guard.

The simple rule of thumb that will keep people reasonably safe is: Do not trust anyone who E-mails or calls over the phone to be who they say they are. If they say they are from business XYZ, hang up the phone and call XYZ's main number and ask for them. While there are exceptions and scammers are getting craftier, incoming calls and E-mail is by far the major attack vector.
>We’re at a tipping point. It’s never been more essential that we create a movement toward trustworthy AI — and this requires collaboration with the brightest minds working on AI technology today.

Is "trustworthy AI" something we really want? I don't think I'll ever trust a LLM, no matter how many "ethicists" say otherwise.
Isn't most of the surplus value supposed to go to capital, i.e. the shareholders?
> Is it really the case, that Americans assume to have all these sorts of insurances taken care of automatically?

For consumers, yes. For businesses, this falls under the "treasury management" responsibilities of the CFO position.

If they make this assumption (i.e. by foregoing insurance, T-bill ladders, etc.), they're a poor fiduciary. The VCs and relatively mature startups that stood to lose money in the last week have come out of this looking really bad to the adults in the industry.
I've always felt that it's weird that Python is considered a "beginner" language. Yeah, it uses "and" instead of "&&", but it took me a loooonnng time to figure out how to manage dependencies when I was starting out (and then figuring out how to deploy to targets, how to do reproducible builds, etc). Compared with Rust or Go which just do the right thing by default (personally I've always felt that the tooling is the way more important problem than language concepts which often feel like bike shedding to me).
You can still send non-functioning items back to Apple to be recycled if you want. You can take it an Apple store or go through the mail-in process. They tear them apart and salvage the parts.
How does that impact the banking system? I mean I know it would in some ways, but whats are the actual dots being connected?
Supposedly Jeremy Corbin said something overly critical of its foreign policy, but I've yet to hear a direct quote I wouldn't myself say in public.

God that article was painful to read. 'California is like a developing country because you have to go through a third-party to break the law' is certainly a take.
In this case, as I understand it, the idea is that the existing Khan Academy system generates a random question, the AI helps the student solve it, and then the student provides the answer to the original system, which then validates it.

I would also assume that Khan Academy could inject the true answer into the GPT prompt and instruct the AI to hide it from the user, but rely on it in its explanation, in order to reduce the risk of misleading outputs.
> The "I intend to hold it" is the relevant part of the valuation, though.

Yup, and definitely anticipate there will be major new regulations in this area. A huge part of SVB's book of bonds were categorized as "Hold to Maturity". And, legally, if you mark bonds as HTM, you are not allowed to hedge against their interest rate risk. Basically, the regulations say that if you're hedging against interest rate risk, you don't really intend to hold to maturity, so you need to put them in the "Available for Sale" category.

The fact that SVB had such a huge book of bonds at paltry rates with no/minimal hedging is just awful risk management.
The idea is that when customers know a bank has effectively an unlimited line of credit to pay for outflows that there is no reason to panic. Conceptually, the credit line works perfectly even if it's never used.

I agree it's not a solution, but it's smart and effective stopgap measure.
I see it more like insurance - that $19 isn't wasted, it buys them the ability to be immediately notified when their business's ability to generate revenue goes down.

The alternative is being alerted by emails or phone calls from prospective customers asking if they're still in business - a very awkward phone call to be on!
> I think you're seriously underestimating the amount of cloud customers that do a simple lift and shift.

I've done exactly that at a previous startup. Granted, it was 10 years ago, but going from racked infra to AWS ended up being half the cost for what was effectively twice the infra (we built out full geo-redundancy at the same time).
I really think there should be a startup that integrates with Plaid pulling all bank transactions to build AI models for this.

I think real time alerts or daily summaries sent to trusted caretakers. Another layer is having the caretaker approve of the transactions. Can think of this as 2 factor authentication where they'd have to hack multiple phones or accounts for a successful scam.

For example, seeing multiple gift cards would be suspicious. Or if you know your parents never take out more than 100$ from the ATM.

Sometimes though they willingly scam themselves. My dad gave this real life scammer 30k in advance payment in return for future caregiving services. We told him she was scamming us and he didn't care. When she asked him for more money to buy a new car he finally realized she was truly scamming him.
Look, I don't really wanna get bogged down in Tory-Labour, Republican-Democrat, "is being opposed to certain issues and members of the Irsaeli government anti-Semitic" conversation. I really don't. But as a US citizen who follows US news closely and world news incidentally, I'm aware this is an entire topic of discussion. I expected it to be a section of Corbyn's page- and it was- but there's a whole Wikipedia article about it, so you can judge for yourself.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_the_UK_Labour_...

My personal read is, it ain't much different from some stuff in US politics. A bit of horseshoe theory stuff, not that I buy into that at large. But on the right you have politicians making alliances with neo-Nazis, on the left you have fervently pro-Palestine politicians. Both sides are or can be partially motivated by xenophobia, neither side is immune to having a theoretically defensible view possibly motivated by actual prejudice. I myself have been called an anti-Semite over disagreements that I believe to have little to do with religion and much to do with the actions of government agents. So it goes.
Proposed leftist economic policy.
Prism was a web portal for serving warrants and NSLs, but if we repeat the original misreporting enough times, I guess it'll stick.

If what you're saying is true, these guys will walk because they'll challenge the lack of warrant in court. I have strong doubts that they are going to be walking anytime soon.
Regretably, it's becoming increasingly imaginable that human intelligence goes so far as to see this as a solution to anything.
I have never seen PED XING used (don't live in the US) but from a quick image search it is used for both signage and road markings. In either both cases there are more intuitively understandable options - a literal (zebra) crossing drawn on the road or a sign of a crossing pedestrian. That this doesn't seem to be widely adopted accross the world and that searching returns many people asking WTF it means reinforces that idea.
> A semiconductor fab does not require that many people so the wages should not matter that much.

Likely thousands to tens-of-thousands of employees on-site at all times for fabs of this size.

Most employees in the US won't be earning minimum wages, that hasn't been the case in the past.
Archive.org does this with theirs. If there are no seeds (super common with their torrents—IDK, maybe a few popular files of theirs do have lots of seeds and that saves them a lot of bandwidth, but sometimes I wonder why they bother) then it'll basically do the same thing as downloading from their website. I've seen it called a "web seed". Only place I've seen use it, but evidently the functionality is there.

Mr Nice by Howard Marks

It's a good default approach and the one I use most of the time.

If you're setting a lot of text, or mixed text especially that has both prose and graphs or data you run into the limitation of the system fonts just not having the full set of characters.

Using text figures and tabular figures correctly for example is one of the main things that makes those complex mixed texts read well and look "professional" and afaik none of the system fonts include all three sets of numbers, even if they're available in that font from other sources. They also mostly don't support small caps, which is better looking than most other ways you can emphasize text for titles or diagram labels. The CSS auto-conversion fallback is not a good substitute imo.

Anyway again it's a great approach for basic text and still a good start for more complex stuff, but not a full solution depending on how much you care about text presentation. But since most websites are mostly text I think you should care a lot.
I'm not a natural Labour voter, but they have an approximately 25 point lead at the moment - they're very much getting their act together. I'm not sure where the "hating Israel" thing comes from, that talking point is several years out of date now.
Yeah, this is a good summary of the problem. If I write a dockerfile with

FROM ubuntu:20.04
WORKDIR /app
ADD mySecretAppBinary .

it will pull the base image from hub.docker.io, and there is no way to stop it from doing so. If I run:

image_tag = test-app
docker build -t $image_tag .
docker push $image_tag

it will push a container with my secret application to the public docker hub, assuming I am logged in (which of course I am, because docker rate limits you if you don't). I don't ever want to do that, ever, under any circumstances, and it's just not possible to opt out of whiel using docker.
OHTTP does require that the parties don't collude, which is why Google has engaged Fastly to run the relay service (which knows end user identifying data) and are themselves running the gateway service (which knows the end user request body).

Part of the contract terms include not delivering log data to Google for this service, among other things that help ensure that this separation of knowledge is upheld.
In US the fed determines how much money is printed. The EU, UK, Japan, Switzerland, and China have similar central banks. Most countries do, but those are some major players (I left some out). Basically, if you print the right amount of money, it works. So they get smart Econ experts to guess how much money to print. And as long as they get close enough it doesn't cause hyperinflation.
It seems to be a habit at Docker to give incredibly short notice before service shutdowns: See the 2018 shutdown of some Docker Cloud services which had a two month notice period ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16665130 )

I got bit by that back then as a commercial customer and sent a complaint to them. Response was an offer for tickets and travel to a just upcoming Docker Con. Well, thanks but no thanks. I don't need to go to their conference when I'm busy migrating my org to a different service provider.
Big cities are way more expensive. People who live there have almost no kids. Rural and small cities have kept the US population from crashing completely. Big cities are currently dismantling their specialty high schools. I don't think the facts on the ground support that big cities are better for kids.
I dunno, T-mobile still does a lot of good deals. They were just throwing out free lines to anyone who asked a couple weeks ago and frequently do BOGO iPhone deals all the time.
Are we not allowed to complain about unnecessary unplanned work being foisted on us with 30 days notice?

That seems like an entirely relevant complaint for this forum but from your first reply, you’re acting like somehow it’s the greatest offense in the world that someone pointed this out.
Makes perfect sense to me, sadly. The dependencies are specified in excessively, that's why everyone is shipping Ubuntu. This is caused by and further facilitates the development style of "do not track what we use, just ship everything". Also, the dependencies are specified in container images, which themselves are derivative artifacts and not the original source code, and these dependencies often change in different container builds with no explicit relevant change.

There are three practical problems as a result:
- huge image sizes with unused dependencies delivered as part of the artifact;
- limited ability to share dependencies due to inheritance-based model of layers, instead of composition-based model of package managers;
- non-reproducibility of docker images (not containers) due loosely specified build instructions.

Predicting future comments, nix mostly fixes these issues, but it has a bunch of issues of its own. Most importantly, nix is incredibly invasive in development process, adopting it requires heavy time investments. Containers also provide better isolation
Google Fi is a MVNO just like Mint. I'm curious why Fi gets better reliability when Mint doesn't ?
Yes exactly. GP is misinformed on history. Red hat didn't sabotage anything. Docker took forever to update to cgroups V2, and that broke it for distros like fedora that are up to date. The user had to downgrade their kernel in order to use docker, but if they did everything else worked fine.
This was the proposed PR that is summarized in that article: https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/10411

if you did `docker tag supersecret/app:latest && docker push` instead of `docker tag registry.corp.com/supersecret/app:latest` guess where your code just went?

Same on the pull side, if you wanted your corp's ubuntu base rather than just `docker pull ubuntu`.
St Jeremy led an institutionally anti-semitic Labour Party, clearly documented by the EHRC. Reading that will answer your question.
Yikes. I mean I would agree with him if he said that libertarianism and democracy are incompatible, but most libertarians I've met are much more self-deluded about the fact that this is what their view boils down to.

The fact that he states the fundamental logical issue with his ideology so clearly and at the same time in defence of it, is fascinating.
In the pdf there's mention to terry davis so I'm tempted to think this is actually a bit of a troll.

It works for English, but sadly the selected fonts don't always have all the national characters. Sometimes there are similar enough replacements (e.g. Charis instead of Charter) but not always.
Talk to your bank to see what additional layers of security they can offer for moving money around.

It could be as common as sending a pin to YOUR phone or that they actually call the bank to authorize it.

Some join accounts also require approval from both parties to transfer large amounts of money.

Additionally you can open a secondary account for your elderly relatives for daily expenses, they fund this account from their main account.

Anything you do, do it at the banking level, do not rely on your elderly relatives to doge pretty sophisticated scams.
I think we've had a few small scale experiments with UBI that showed it likely improves the lives for many, while not acting as a disincentive for others. If nothing else, bad employers would have to improve how they treat their employees. That's not a bad thing either.
You've set up a false dichotomy.

"Human brain is magic." <> "Human brain is not simulatable by Turing machines."

There are other possibilities. I'm sure you can think of a few.
I fail to follow. If DockerHub is the part that actively burns money, why stick with it? If, say, Docker Desktop is the part that actively brings profits, why would it be afflicted if the users used a different image registry? Most companies, except the smallest ones, use their own registry / mirror anyway.

Even better, the registry may continue to exist, but would (eventually) stop storing the images, and start storing .torrent files for the actual downloads. Seeing an image from the GitHub release page would be enough for most smaller projects (yes, BT supports HTTP mirrors directly).
