>“This show of support by a group of large banks is most welcome, and demonstrates the resilience of the banking system,” the Treasury Department said in a statement Thursday.

why is the treasury department commenting on this? How much was this "show of support" ordered by the government itself? I highly doubt Wall Street bankers did this out of the goodness of their hearts. People should be disgusted by how intertwined the Fed, government regulators, and the finance industry have become. We are going to pay the price for not holding people to account in 2008, the punishment wasn't enough to actually change the culture of Wall Street
For a country of slightly less than 18 million people this is still mighty impressive.
Aha, thanks. That makes a LOT more sense.

Is the compute for running an LLM cheap enough to scale at the moment? LLMs seem to be a great generalist solution but could specifically targeted NLP solutions still outperform in terms of speed/cost when you are processing high volumes of inputs?
Employees who were hired remote can remain remote. Not all employees hired during covid were classified as such. Employees were also able to request exemption from the return to office policy.
I suspect it is, but done in such a way as to avoid some of the larger lawsuits from layoffs. Sure you can enjoy the peanuts unemployment gives you by claiming it, but I imagine its somewhat harder to file a discrimination claim?

I have many issues with Docker the business but, have to say, this situation sounds like they might not be the problem quite as much as the employer.
The seats lost/gained are:

BBB +139

FvD -71

VVD -16

CDA -30

So, the voting system has lots of parties and ranked voting but it seems clear that the main story is FvD lost out to BBB.

I've never fully understood the market failure here.

Let's assume no Monopsony. Let's assume no collusion by employers, since this is explicitly illegal, indeed it did happen, but the tech firms were slapped on the wrist for it.

Why do employees not attempt to strike out those portions of their contract? Why does no entrepreneur create a tech company with one of the innovations being a no "non-compete" clause and using that to woo employees?

My guess is that employees do not actually dislike non-complete clauses that they would accept a lower wage in compensation for no "non-compete".

Ai babble is flooding everything... A lot of companies are eagerly laying off employees to have chat GPT churn out the same tone-empty and nothing-new derivative-article content everywhere. Coupled with anti-competitive SEO tactics, bot spam, human spam, subliminally suggestive marketing, long winded CTA clickbait videos, and paid ad promotion on social media, the Internet is ripe with all sorts of annoying schemes and scams to get attention that is totally destroying all hope for effective information and communication pretty much everywhere you go online now.

I hope people will wake up and start striking against platform dictatorships and profiteering for everything, but I doubt it will happen, and I think there will simply be a lot of meltdowns everywhere and frustrated people that will eventually learn that we'll all see a lot less ads if we go back to meeting up at coffee shops, diners, and bowling alleys for our entertainment off this "scorched hellscape of a parking-meter-esque pay for being unfulfilled" Internet.

Sorry for the rant. :P

> It would probably mean less profit for those sellers though.

A useful exercise in understanding US healthcare:

Jump onto your search engine of choice and pull up a list of Fortune 500 companies. Take a look at the Top 10 and Top 50 companies. Once you see how many of them are healthcare related you'll understand why the US Gov and US Taxpayer get charged so much for so little.

Well, yes, that's probably enough for a people-container, where a few people can get a small room and a zero-g workplace on the middle.

It doesn't afford any comfort (so, more than some 6-months long journeys are a problem), but I can indeed imagine that being useful.
Without the bootloader you get nothing, and even less useful kernels as they can't be patched.

Communications and astronomy seem like very reasonable uses of space. Comms because how much of the planet can be seen/covered be a single device, and astronomy to bypass information loss from the atmosphere.
Transit is also really, really good if you know where you’re headed but just need to check train/bus arrival times. The app opens straight to live arrival times of all the lines nearest to you. So handy.

>The 2017-2019 corporate version of "invest in AI" meant to build an in-house team to do ML experiments on internal data, and then usually evolved a bit to get some "ml-ops" thrown in so they could "deploy" the models they built.

You nailed it, although very few models actually ever got deployed to Prod at Fortune 500 non-tech companies and the few that did delivered little value. I'm a consultant and most internal AI/ML/DS teams that I interacted with were just running experiments on internal data as you said, and the results would get pasted into Powerpoint, a narrative created, and then presented to executives, who did little or nothing with the "insights". Reminded me of the "Big Data" boom a few years earlier where every company created a Big Data Team who then promptly stood up a Hadoop cluster on prem, ingested every log file they could find, and then..................did nothing with it.
Did you use the GPT4 version?
Yeah... Google Translate is still occasionally translating good/item as "baby" on taobao. "Return Defective Baby" was hilarious for a year or two, but that was ~8 years ago IIRC, and now it just stands as a reminder that Google Translate still has a considerable way to go.

> We still don't have anything scarier than humans and I don't see how AI is ever scarier than human + AI.

We already have powerful non-human agents that have legal rights and are unaligned with the interests of humans: corporations

I am worried about corporations powered by AI making decisions on how to allocate capital. They may do things that are great for short term shareholder value and terrible for humanity. Just think of an AI powered Deepwater Horizon or tobacco company.

Edit to add: One thing I forgot to make clear here: Corporations run/advised by AI could potentially lobby governments more effectively than humans and manipulate the regulatory environment more effectively.
You can :

1.ask chatgpt to generate a prompt of what you want by giving it a few exemples from a random SD prompt sharing website.(this alone gave me stunning results)

2.(optional) Use Controlnet for the pose you want,from the posture of the body down to each finger individually.

2.5 use multi Controlnet for multiple characters.

3. correct any errors with img2img.

4. Enjoy

It takes 10 to 20 minutes (mostly in getting a good pose) but the results are always good and you can later reuse the pose again.
There's no such thing as "pure capitalism" – not if you're talking about things that exist.

In an ideal free market with perfectly-rational omniscient actors, this issue wouldn't occur. I don't think you even need the omniscience: trust, memory, reputation/vouching and basic game theory should be sufficient (though I haven't proven this). Alternatively: a free market with contracts, where all things go through the system, would work.

In the real world, the system consists of people, each of whom is optimising for a particular thing. Very few people are optimising for "make the most money, at the expense of all else". Show me anyone (even a billionaire), and I'll show you somebody who values other things higher than the accumulation of money. And plenty of things don't go through "the system of capitalism": we have commons, and volunteers, and favours, and coerced unpaid labour / wage theft.

"The forces of capitalism" might be a good shorthand for the reasons behind this problem, but it's not strictly an accurate one: these issues aren't inherent to capitalism. They're not problems with capitalism, but problems with this system. (Capitalism does have other, different problems that are pretty baked in, like how capital is power and power lets you accrue capital, but I don't see how that relates to this issue.)
So it kind of copied the answer from somewhere and rephrased it?
Me too, and that's not correct.

Firstly, the idea that NIO is "not much harder to use at all (compared to io streams)" is wild on its own. People built Netty (and XNIO) precisely because of how awkward NIO is to use.

But secondly, there are common, useful patterns that are trivial with streams and extremely awkward with asynchronous I/O. For example, here's some code which queries a database and streams the results to the client as JSON:

OutputStream responseBody; // assume you get this from somewhere
try (JsonGenerator json = Json.createGenerator(responseBody)) {
json.writeStartArray();
try (Connection connection = openDatabaseConnection()) {
ResultSet results = connection.prepareStatement("select first_name, last_name from users").executeQuery();
while (results.next()) {
json.writeStartObject();
json.write("first_name", results.getString("first_name"));
json.write("last_name", results.getString("last_name"));
json.writeEnd();
}
}
json.writeEnd();
}

It does not load all the data into memory, it does not buffer all the JSON in memory, it automatically handles backpressure (if the socket blocks on a write, it will pause reading results from the database), it releases its resources cleanly if an exception occurs, and it's fourteen lines of very simple code.

You cannot do anything like this with an asynchronous API.

> The problem is 99% of political SMS's I get are not for any politician I can vote for. They're almost all from random districts across the country.

I get this but via email, and they typically say it'll take 2 weeks or more to stop sending me this unsolicited bulk email. This is despite unsubscription being instantaneous.

Just as an aside, since high political office is a fairly direct path to immense wealth, I think these unwanted mails should be explicitly considered unsolicited, bulk commercial email. This is the precise definition of spam and we should treat it as spam and not just think of it as such.
I am loathe to comment on this topic due to it being against the site guidelines but I have noticed a distinct up-tick in both meme comments and shallow joke comment threads. It’s a little cringe to read, but there is still plenty of substantiative conversation here, so I wouldn’t exactly say it’s turning into Reddit; but there is definitely an element of Reddit (and 4chan for that matter). I think it’s increasing, but I don’t have the data to back it up. For now I can just downvote unsubstantial comment trees and move on.
"If not having plastic bags, straws, and gas stoves really causes that much distress, then you’re really living a life with very few problems."

That sounds incredibly arrogant. So the default is that the banhammer should be swung around at will unless it causes outright critical problems? OK, give up half of the things you enjoy for marginal gains.

And the gas stove campaign is pure hysteria. If gas stoves caused serious disease, we would have seen a massive population-wide correlation of gas stove use and disease much like we do in case of tobacco, lead, asbestos or alcohol consumption. Given that the gas stove is more than 120 years old and no pandemics of early deaths can be attributed to it, the whole thing may be just clickbait.
I certainly understand why companies do this, but often these non-competes are so overly broad to a point of being farcical.

When I was at Apple, in my free time, I started hacking on a clone of Plex Server. I had gotten multiple emails around the time saying that open-source policies have changed, and every open source contribution needs to be approved by the VP of technology, which sufficiently scared me. I managed to get a meeting with the VP of tech when I was in California, and while he was extremely polite, his response was that because my project dealt with video, and Apple sells video, it's therefore competitive, so I need to immediately stop working on it. [1]

It honestly kind of soured my opinion of the company, and I subsequently became a kind of crappy worker, because I stopped really caring if I made Apple better. I stayed on for about 1.5 years after that, and accomplished very little in the aftermath.

If he had just let me open source my stupid project that, lets be honest, would not have diverted a single dollar away from Apple, I think they would have gotten much better work from me by the end of my time there.

[1] Yes, obviously I could work on it in secret, and maybe it was a fools errand to ask permission on this, but I really didn't think Apple was going to be so overly broad with their definition of "competitive".
We might if we hear a lot of people asking about it! Would you use it if it supports Teams?
If a politician believes a course of action is beneficial, and public opinion disagrees with them, then they should persuade the public to change their opinion.

I don't know I assume it would tell you put some cortisone cream on it or to seek a dermatologist. 99% of internet advice boils down to that I don't think chatgpt/gpt 4 would be much different in that regard. It definitely can bullshit but for really generalized stuff like that I doubt it.

It's not like your asking a singular person the question like it is when you ask an accountant but an abstraction of written human thought and interactions.

Exactly. "So it goes."
I would argue the inverse: if your project relatively simple enough that hooks don't feel messy, then it probably doesn't need to be a React app to begin with.

Class components are just (IMO) cleaner, and I find myself saddened at the level of disarray most codebases with hooks are nowadays. Enough has been written elsewhere about how hooks require one to keep more in their head; class components have an agreed up layout/structure/etc that is important in large codebases.
According to EU law it's obvious. But then again let's just put our heads in the sand and ignore climate change. Yes more emissions is what is needed. Face palm
This isn't a good clarification. While Docker says they will not delete images, it doesn't clarify whether they will delete organizations. Indeed, under "Can someone else squat my namespace?", it says "if your organization is suspended, deleted, or you choose to leave Docker voluntarily", which implies that orgs may also be deleted involuntarily. This is still a problem.
I think that's what they're trying to say: you're not an affected user if it's not your image, because you can't download it in the first place.
HDMI/DVI has dedicated pixel clock pair as do the various LVDS LCD panel interfaces (and CameraLink, which is a related PHY). These interfaces are more or less “dumb” and simply serialize the display data onto three pairs with the same timing as VGA/DPI (discrete serdeses for these interfaces tend to have internal x10 PLL for generating the bit-clock).
These are great points and show that the system worked as designed. There will always be bank failures. We want depositors to have confidence that their deposits are safe, not altruistically, but to prevent bank runs since those serve no one and re totally avoidable. Management and Shareholders were wiped out.

Honestly, it looks like in a year or two, the Government will make money off of this because as soon as interest rates come down the securities will go back to book value.

The real winner here is Goldman, since they bought the bond portfolio from SVB that triggered all of this at a discount and can hold to maturity and interest rates may need to come down or a broader asset exchange program implemented to stop any contagion, so those bonds will return to book value sooner than expected.
They don't have a default voice not a definite one. Output can be easily adjusted to sound like whatever

Basedash founder here. We're much more focused on admin panels that you would give to non-technical teammates (e.g. support, ops, sales) to view & edit data. Less around data analysis and charts, though we have a bit of that. We're also not limited to databases, you can set up actions to hit APIs (e.g. Stripe, SendGrid, internal APIs).
> Is that enough for you, or are you going to continue pushing false slippery slopes?

You misunderstood. I was not trying to portray your argument as a slippery slope. I was trying to portray your argument as just generally weak, which it obviously was ("but china" is not even an argument). Given that you completely misunderstood my point, the rest of your comment doesn't even apply.

That you had to resort to subtly calling me an idiot says a lot.
Yeah we have gone back and forth a lot about the open-source route, and still talk about it frequently. Our target audience is non-technical team members so the thought of open-sourcing didn't make a ton of sense from that standpoint.

However, it does make sense for their technical team members to launch this for them and give them access to the data.
Sure, let's explore that. What are Hasan's extremist views? And keep in mind that I'm gonna cite Aden, Sneako, Trainwrecks, Mizkif and more in response.
Dope game, turned it into a prompt, its been fun trying to optimize it.

You are a scrabble word master. The rules of the game are as follows.
--
Create the highest scoring word you can with the 7 letters!
The word must start in the first square of the board and be at least 2 letters long.
2x and 3x squares double and triple the value of that letter.
The total points for your word will appear above a valid word.

The letters to point values are represented as a string where the point value follows the letter
---
E1R1B3U1O1V4T1

The second square is 3x points, the fifth square is 2x points and the 7th square is 3x points.

The word must be a real english word.
Lets think step by step.
Only fair that this also gets 1500 points and front page

That depends on what "organization data" means. Does that phrasing cover the images or just the existence of the organization in Docker (i.e. deleted organization)?
yeah extremely reasonable
Given the number of times that Docker the company has rugged the community, I am highly pessimistic of their organization / paying them. I'd rather run my own registry.
"Speak" is the company that OpenAI is backing for this:

They are not mutually exclusive. We can do both. We can implement a privacy law with teeth and also block a primary geo-strategic competitor from harvesting personal data on a scale never before seen in human history.
Valid point. It seems that both challenges would have come from the same group, and that group has no mechanism to stop the FDIC or Fed action.
Content-aware ChatGPT on any website
Strongly disagree. There are lots, LOTS, of game streams. Definitely outnumbering the chaturbate angle.

But how many people want to log in to watch someone with a face for radio and a voice for silent movies narrate some random game?

By comparison, the chaturbate crowd is far fewer in number but has an outsized impact.
It's hard to predict how this will play out and that's kind of my point.
Here is GPT-4's answer to that:

This joke is a play on the concept of logical thinking and how logicians approach problems.

When the bartender asks if anyone wants a drink, he's essentially asking if at least one of the three logicians wants a drink. The first logician doesn't know if the other two want a drink, so he can't answer the question with a definitive "yes" or "no." So he says "I don't know."

The second logician hears the first one's answer and concludes that the first logician must want a drink, because if he didn't, he would have said "no" (since he would know that at least one person—himself—doesn't want a drink). However, the second logician still doesn't know if the third logician wants a drink or not, so he also says "I don't know."

The third logician hears both answers and realizes that since neither of the first two said "no," they both must want a drink. So he can confidently say "yes" to the bartender's question, meaning at least one of them wants a drink. The humor lies in the fact that the logicians are using their logical thinking skills to answer a simple question about ordering drinks in a roundabout way.
It's worse with pigs...
Building a Chrome extension with ChatGPT as a CTO
Some big tech companies are witnessing a panic inside their entire org because they focus almost entirely on their competitors (except for the business divisions which are monopolies).
I saw at least two examples of this here on HN. One of the books was about tech entrepreneurship 101, and I remember asking how to launch if you're a sole developer with no legal entity behind the product. I remember the answer being fairly coherent and useful. I don't have the URL handy, I suspect if you search HN for "entrepreneur book" you'll find it.
