The point with bonds is that they'll "recover their losses" if you hold them to maturity.

Think about three time frames:

Year 0: I buy a new-issue $100 bond paying 1.5% interest for $100. I will receive $1.50 every year for 5 years and then get $100 back.

Year 3: Interest rates have increased pretty dramatically, so 2-year bonds are now paying 3% interest. So for someone 'shopping' for a bond that matures in 2 more years, they can buy a new-issue one paying 3% or they could buy my 5-year with 2-years remaining that is only paying 1.5%. Obviously they would buy the new-issue unless I offer a substantial price discount. So if I "mark to market" my bond, I would have to sell it for something like $85 to be equivalent to the new-issue debt. My bond is still paying 1.5% and will still pay $100 when it matures, but it's much less valuable since the interest stream is smaller. I don't sell my bond because I don't want to take the loss.

Year 5: My bond matures and I receive $100 along with the final interest payment.

We're talking about step 2 above -- the losses are only realized if you sell the instrument, so you don't need to "recover" any losses, the underlying debt is still as likely to pay out as they were before, it's just a debt maturity question.
Ever since the initial Covid shock wore off, this whole thing just feels like 2008 in slow motion.

One thing that was certain about Webb was that scientists wouldn’t know how to use it and there would be a rush of sensationalistic and low quality papers. Wait for a few years and it will mostly get sorted out.
Wow, I don’t love the DMV but I had a much easier and faster time getting a smog certificate than the author did. Didn’t even need to bribe anyone. But on the other hand I didn’t get to write an article about how an entire state is corrupt.
i didn't read it as that, they were stating the realities, assumptions were made, those assumptions are now invalid, they are working on alternatives, 30days is a short deadline for something like this and docker as an organization is behaving poorly.

all of that seems pretty true, and frankly no one should support a company that does something like this. I get they need to figure out how to make money, but time has shown the worst way to do that is to screw over customers or potential customers.

I like the poster will never trust docker, and will never use their tooling or formats, pod-man all the way.
I assume you mean why not have road markings rather than the signage. Sometimes road markings disappear in rain and the bright lights reflecting off the road can mess up the contrast. I had a hard time navigating Seattle due to the inability to see road markings, it seemed that everyone else knew where to go (and not go) from previous experience so I would follow the traffic. But sometimes there was no traffic either…

EDIT: Not sure what I did to elicit so many downvotes on a personal anecdote. I was not advocating the exclusive use a PED XING sign just giving a situation where zebra crossing markings may be insufficient.
Isn't that exactly what it is?

'AI' is a marketing term? I don't see how that's more than saying that 'cloud' is a marketing term - while being useful in marketing, it's just an industry term.
According to this:

https://github.com/WICG/turtledove/blob/main/FLEDGE_k_anonym...

You'll need to spend a Private State Token to call the k-anon API, minting PSTs is rate limited on the server side, and the client and server still cooperate to make forging PST requests hard (e.g. device integrity attestation, requiring the user be signed into Chrome). What I think this means is that you could undermine the k-anonymity in individual cases by large amounts of manual work, but not do so at scale.
Not familiar with them, but their pricing seems significantly higher than Hetzner.
"improper regulation" is a funny way of saying "deregulation"

Banks want deregulation so they can have riskier investment profiles, but suddenly when that risk materializes, it's somebody else's fault that they can't cover their obligations.
People suffering from psychosis can create "facts" supporting their ideas and believe in them. Usually it's the stuff like "someone follows me", "someone wants to hurt me". Psychosis is the entry point to schizophrenia which is more or less, an illness in which brain makes stuff up and the ill person cannot differentiate facts from hallucinations.

Possibly there was no defense contract at all.

I think it's interesting that their treatment of singular they is more thorough than Merriam-Webster's, manages to address people on the dissenting side with some empathy, and still recognizes that its widespread usage[0] means it would be silly to not include that usage.

Yes, Knowledge Graphs are one of the power house technologies coming soon.

I am in a team developing the next generation of knowledge graph analytics, currently faster than almost all tools out there and its open-source.

The main barrier to entry, and issue, is that not many people know about them. Not many know how to use it, they dont understand the algorithms and thus are unaware of the benefits.

We put people in low earth orbit in order to study people in space because maybe in a millenium or two, we might find someplace to send people in space and create some way to get there and actually survive.

Until then, it's all mainly just a futuristic publicity stunt done mostly for bragging rights that noone will really miss when it's gone.

And a sudden fire is also unplanned work, but that's still your work. If this is such a threat, then maybe shift priorities around.
Let's simplify and think about it like owning a stock. Maybe you bought it at $100 and it's now worth $80. If you were forced to sell it today, you would have a $20 loss. But you can wait for it to trade up.

Bonds have the added benefit of a guaranteed principal at maturity. So if you buy a bond with $100 face value, it will pay that to you at maturity plus some coupon (say, 4%) between now and then. For the sake of simplicity, let's assume the bond was issued at par (meaning not at a discount or premium), so you paid $100 for that $100 face value

As time goes by and interests rate fluctuate, the price of that bond in the open market will also vary. When interest rates go up, prices go down and yields go up, because investors demand a greater return (higher yield) and since the "4%" is hardcoded into the bond, the only way to give additional yield is by trading your otherwise $100 bond for, say, $98.
You don't need much to figure out a conditional, for example here you're dealing with two cases before and after 0.453, so just subtract this threshold from a value, divide this number by the absolute value of that number, and now you have -1 for a number before the threshold, and +1 for the number after the threshold. You can normalize it by dividing it by 2 and adding 0.5. Now you have a number `t` that is either 0 for the input before the threshold or 1 for the input after the threshold. You could use it to switch between two values like so: bt + a(1-t)

In the case of generating a white or black number, this works (unless you want a number between 0 and 255, then just multiply the result by 255): https://i.imgur.com/hXNw0EA.png

Please follow the discussion; we are not referring to the narrow "origin private file system" here.

> This is not access to the filesystem.

Wrong. I know what "this" is, thanks, and it is access to the filesystem. That's because "this" here—in the subthread you have just posted to—refers to Chrome's experimental implementation of the larger proposal (which is literally called "File System Access API"), not the limited subset described by the submission as having just gotten enabed in Firefox.
Since I have the world's greatest creative assistant handy, here's what GPT-4 thinks a Kim Kardashian language would look like:

Hey dolls, let me introduce you to the Kimmie programming language, it's like totally fab and easy to use!

To declare a variable, just use the hashtag symbol and the variable name, like this:

#my_var

To assign a value to the variable, use the word "like" followed by the value, like this:

#my_var like 10

To print out a message, use the word "OMG" followed by the message in double quotes, like this:

OMG "Hello, dolls!"

To add two variables together, use the word "add" followed by the two variables, like this:

#var1 like 5
#var2 like 7
#sum like add #var1 #var2

Um… I have a lossy-compressed copy of DISCWORLD in my head, plus about 1.3 million words of a fanfiction series I wrote.

I get what you're saying and appreciate the 'second opinion machine' angle you're taking, but what's going to happen is very similar to what's happened with Stable Diffusion: certain things become extremely devalued and the rest of us learn to check the hands in the image to see if anything really wonky is going on.

For the GPT class of AI tech, the parallel seems to be 'see if it's outright making anything up'. GPT-4 is going to be incredibly vulnerable to Mandela Effect issues. Your ideal use-case is going to be 'give me the vox populi take on something', where you can play into that.

The future is not so much this AI, as techniques to doctor and subvert this type of AI to your wishes. Google-bombing, but for GPT. Make the AI be very certain of things to your specifications. That's the future. The AI is only the stage upon which this strategy is played out.
Yeah, the article opens with Thiel but doesn't actually claim he did anything wrong. It then shifts to comments by David Sacks "who is a friend of Thiel" for hypocrisy in comments. Which, I think, might be fair to say of Sacks but not really fair to attribute to Thiel at all, or to the valley in general.

In defense of the article, it never directly states that Thiel is a hypocrite. He's at first included just because it lists actions he took. But there's an obvious implication being made later, and not just because of the title. That said, I think Thiel's anti-democracy views ("I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible") are terrible and worthy of criticism for different reasons altogether.
As a former trading desk guy I struggle to see how the system allows things to be marked-to-cost. Or rather, why is it that we allow a bank to not mark-to-market a security for which there is a liquid market?

Allowing the bank to pretend it has more assets than it actually has seems to be an invitation to hide risk. If they had to MTM their underwater bonds, they would would have been pushed to raise capital earlier, or they would have cut their losses earlier.

It should be straight up "I have these deposit liabilities, I have this book of assets, oops, my assets are down a bit, lets do something about it". Instead of "I'm gonna run the gauntlet and hope the business survives until these bonds come in".

North of $250,000 it's a bet. If you're Roku and you have hundreds of millions of dollars in a single bank, that's absolutely a bet. Companies can get private insurance to cover money in excess of the FDIC, but they didn't. And now no one will, because billionaires know they can threaten bank runs and violence to get bailed out.
They were competitors to T-Mobile. They offered lowered prices, even though they did use their network.

I’ve actually found chatgpt to be really helpful with the “thinking”. Maybe it’s just the talking through the problem which helps but it gives me a few good pointers each time I’ve had a chat with it about an issue.
It's not necessarily the layers of abstraction. I would consider this to be a layer of indirection. A human writing code, then a machine learning algorithm learning from other human written code, and then another human using that machine learning algorithm to understand the original code seems like a rather needless and inefficient layer of indirection.
Thanks! I have not yet read Cradle but often see it recommended.

I have power of attorney and manage their finances for them (mid 90s relative). They spend on a credit card which I make payments against, and review transactions monthly for anomalies (anything besides Walmart, grocery store, pharmacy, Amazon, and recurring monthly services or utilities throws red flags). Make sure your estate planning is properly performed before they decline (physically or mentally).

Behavioral improvements and education are nice to haves, but constant vigilance has a high cost for folks at this age and it only takes one successful adversarial attempt to succed. In this case, strong controls and guardrails are a superior solution imho.

Beyond the obvious stuff like installing an ad blocker, I don't know. The best idea I've seen is what you already said, just limit access to funds. When my dad went through Alzheimers, we canceled his cards through the bank or let them expire and just never told him. But he was far enough gone that he would never have had reason to buy anything anyway so he never noticed. For someone still functional but easily tricked and unreceptive to the idea of limits, I don't know.
I don’t think you can make the argument that devs are extracting money from lower paid employees when:

1. Exec pay is 100-1000x that of dev pay. I’d also include huge war chests of cash and stock buy backs as evidence that devs aren’t the problem.

2. The vast majority of “high paying” dev roles don’t pay enough money to buy a house in the real estate market that their office is in. A metric that I’d consider bare minimum to call someone adequately paid.
This is great, and I would make sure to move to 3.13+ because of this.
Ignoring the effects of volume is a common and fatal mistake. "This effect already exists" is not incompatible with "Multiplying the impact of this effect by orders of magnitude will cause it to become a massive problem."

Or, put another way: A slightly degraded signal-to-noise ratio isn't really a problem, but once it degrades far enough, the whole stream becomes impossible to decode, and worthless.
One nuclear accident every 60–150 years seems pretty fine compared to the estimated risk of global warming from fossil fueled power plants. It seems similar to the added risk of battery fire in electric cars compared to continuing using IC cars.

If we can replace existing nuclear plants with exclusively using renewable and storage then that should naturally be considered, but accident rate of nuclear plants should not be considered in places where the current or future alternative is burning fossil fuels.
That sounds very much how chatgpt acts.
I respectfully disagree.

Researchers have the same incentives as the rest of the population

Researchers work for money, for prestige, ambition and a comfortable job that is white collar and ivory tower in nature.

They are detached from the suffering their work causes.

More importantly, I dont see researchers working for free or minimum wage. Most of their work is not even replicable for the sake of prestige or due to academic pressure. This implies the work is causing pain in animals for objectively their own career protection (selfish).

When we see researchers working for free, producing replicable work that actually adds to society (vs add to the bottom line for a pharma producting a marginal improvement drug) we will call their work altruistic or selfless.
It's just not remotely practical to keep dozens of banks accounts with $250k in them for most companies. Many payrolls are larger than that, if you're renting a venue for an event, it'll be larger than that. Obviously well-staffed finance teams could shuffle funds endlessly, but there's just no economic value to creating treasury jobs for the sake of it. We'd be much better off just upping the FDIC limit to something like $5M and mandating better quality assets for the insured portion of bank deposits.
They're accountants, but I wouldn't call them "bean counters". They have a vision for the office of the CFO, and it's that the accounting team rises above mere bean counting into financial leadership.

The company was also a VC-backed startup and is on the road to IPO, so it's run like an investment, not a cost center -- and hiring and keeping great employees is a priority. The perks and benefits are really great. It has won awards for the last ~5 years for being the "best company to work for in $region".

That was the Fed and treasuries way of telling all the owners of banks across the US, take the beating or else.

If the banks listen and take the beating, invest more equity and re-adjust their banking practices to handle interest rate risk, nothing exciting happens.

If the banks don't heed the klaxon call, they will likely get wiped to zero and cease to be owners of banks anymore(because the FDIC will take the bank over and say enough). Depositors/customers of the banks will probably be just fine though. The FDIC will either find a new set of owners or dissolve it and move customers to new banks that did take the beating.

I imagine some idiots will try and call the bluff, get wiped to zero and hopefully learn something in the process, if only to not be a bank owner anymore.
> FDIC will probably have to be reformed. You cannot guarantee everything, all the time.

FDIC does not guarantee everything all the time, that's the whole reason for what happened at these banks being controversial.
You're right. It can't just be about paying for insurance but also has to include undergoing and passing regular stress tests. Just because one buys fire insurance shouldn't give them a free pass to fill their house up with large amounts of flammable material and sparking wires.
