It was all damages - lost property (land and slaves), deaths, lost profits, etc. It was a terrible but necessary sacrifice on the part of Haiti because it was the only way France would recognise their independence, which paved the way for other countries to do the same (but nobody was forthcoming on their own either out of fear of pissing of France or their own slaves/colonies rebelling).

Genuinely: why?
I agree that decision to IPO is a massive one and it shouldn't be just driven by this specific situation, which was probably solved in people's best interest.

But, they were put into this position for waiting for too long and not going public earlier. I have a feeling that Stripe is doing a classic 'emotional investor' mistake. They are considering their valuation to be 90b+, and see this as 'just 50, it will bounce back', not considering that company went from 0 to 50b. There is no guarantee that it will go above the current valuation, and anything below that is going to be harmful, even for current employees who were saved by this move.
You triggered a fraud/compliance issue. It is serious enough that they are closing all your accounts.

If other banks also start closing your accounts, it may be time to find a lawyer.
This is essentially my hope for generative AI. I'll flood the platform web with so much bs that tight knit small forums and user groups will flourish again.

I always say this to my kids when they don’t feel like doing some habit: just half arse it.

Another phrase I use is: if something is worth doing, it’s worth doing poorly.

I run 12km every day, but some days I don’t get out until the afternoon, like today, and it was 30 degrees C and I could only run 8kms and when I got to the bottom of the hill at the 8km mark I couldn’t run up it and just walked the remaining 4km home.

Imagine if I didn’t even go on the run because I was worried I wouldn’t be able to make it the whole way.
I wonder if this is happening to anyone else.

Speculation: Possibly a rolling bail in? I wonder what Chase's financials look like. Perhaps they are letting go of unprofitable customers while keeping their money on the books as some banks are having solvency issues; to hedge against the impacts to the credit market.
How could that be enforced, if one has some separate brokerage account (or one‘s wife).

Perhaps some hedging with similar stock is possible.

>> I am skipping … controlling the monetary base

You can’t really do that and hope to have a handle on how money works. If you don’t have a grasp on the meaning of reserves, you’re sunk.

What are reserves, how are they created, how are they destroyed and why are they exchanged between banks? If you can answer these then you’re a solid third of the way to fully understanding this space.

You’ve talked about controlling the monetary base which makes me think you’ve fallen down the exogenous money hole. While you’re stuck in that alternate reality you won’t be able to accurately describe how banking works. Money, as we experience it today, is endogenous.

>> instead through controlling other things that then controlled the money supply.

They don’t control most of the money supply, commerical banks do. Capital requirements rein in commercial banks desire to “print” more money into the economy.

Stripe's value now is, very roughly, the expected value of its future dividends, and the amount of expected inflation between now and when those get paid is much more than the amount of inflation that's actually happened in the past few months.
Okay, this is probably the right place to say this: You can't play D&D with GPT-3/3.5, but you absolutely can with GPT-4. GPT-4 is a solid DM.

GPT-3 couldn't remember what it said 30 minutes ago, and was basically incapable of planning, so unless you want a simple dungeon rougelike-esque adventure, it'll lose track of things and start hallucinating. It will also sometimes forget the rules.

My initial impressions are that GPT-4 is nearly as competent as a human DM, and much faster and more flexible. Also, unlike GPT-3, it will roll dice for you, and it knows the rules just as well as most players.

These maps + GPT-4 could = infinite campaigns.

Perhaps it's just a matter of time -- and just a few years, at that -- before generative text and graphic AIs merge, and games like Baldur's Gate can quite literally be made on the fly.

I'm not too familiar with docker infra at large, but could the docker hub in principle act just as a namespace such that the opensource projects could have the images hosted elsewhere, but docker hub just redirects them there, so saving on the bandwidth on those?

I suppose there are hand-wavy business reasons not to do that, but somehow I feel that would:

1. Still keep themselves in the loop and relevant, owning the namespace/hub/main registry
2. Offset the costs of those that they don't want to deal with (push them to ghcr or whatever)
3. Preserve some notion of goodwill in not braking the whole dockerverse

In the 2nd case, you are assuming everyone cashes out and avoids missing on growth that would happen. If they keep the stock, or just sell partially (which would most likely be the case for many people, given how much money did Stripe raise to cover tax liabilities), they would be a part of the growth.

I still think (and I might be wrong) Stripe put themselves in a corner position, and raising 6.5 billion USD after 13 years of operating to cover this cost seems like something that could definitely have been avoided.
In all likelihood it will accelerate the monopolization built into our current system, so some Rockefela is about to emerge, that owns it all. With a private public plaza on which the bots sing him praises and any discussion on change is drowned out by machine generated dissent. So, the situations vectors are already there, just the speed will increase.
I've been very mildly involved in this project, so I can give my two cents. While it's true that structural / type checks are not difficult to implement, there's no real need for a back-and-forth when you do static checks -- you either fail out, or run rules to fix.

There's something a bit different that we (should) expect with LLMs (and FMs more generally) since they are fundamentally interactive, so you can actually get them to correct things in interesting ways. Passing the outputs of static checkers back to the models is one nice trick. I (and some friends) have been exploring some stuff with using models in the loop for evaluation (more research side), and I think guardrails is directionally exciting in bringing that kind of vision into more production type settings. There's also just the crud of dealing with LLM code...

Absolutely not without a teacher there anyway, which basically defeats the purpose.

For older students, I think it's a relatively nice alternative to Wikipedia. I asked it some complicated questions about some obscure bits of political theory and it put me onto some authors that were I not already such a freak, I probably wouldn't have known.

> Interesting, what do you work on? I've heard of such wizardy.

This wasn't really a product, just someone at a hardware startup I was doing some work for improving their workflow. It's not really a good long term solution I think, each supplier has a relatively standard format, so eventually you just tweak your API intake to handle the various formats. I actually never looked at the intake code, maybe it just grabs by keywords, who knows, point is, overkill to bring in chat GPT. Probably quite tedious to manage the emails, it sounded like a one off experiment to avoid the boredom of tweaking email greppers. Chat GPT was 100% accurate in transforming the data though, over probably a set of less than 100 emails.

I think recent American political history can be divided into pre-Reagan and post-Reagan. It really was a fundamental change in the nature of public political discourse.
I think what many smart people do not understand is that AI (even in the weak or non-general sense) is coming for the jobs of smart people first. AI is not coming to take the non-knowledge worker jobs first.

Also, I am skeptical that LLMs are going to take anyone's job. I think they will make jobs easier. AGI might take people's jobs, but we are a long way from that.

> unless you're trying to run lots of threads

Well this is exactly the design point. The authors want to promote a coding style where spawning a new thread is ultra-cheap, possibly at a ratio of very few IO calls per virtual thread.

The ideal application would be WhatsApp's use of Erlang [1][2]: 2.8M active connections per server (in 2012! 100GB RAM servers), each of them mostly idle with 200k msgs/sec.

All of this while keeping the threading model, keeping your stacks intact for debugging, and possibly a hierarchy of threads where you can kill a whole branch and hot-reload it with new code. (which is a thing that's not easy to do with reactive programming / async await)

There is a way to go from that status quo to a new and sustainable one; it requires actual engineering of the state change.

> I know it sounds bad & counter-intuitive, but if they revealed lots of little parts of their risk model, fraudsters could use it to their advantage.

This is a commonly stated argument, but I don't think it holds water.

I once worked with a company that did grey area SEA stuff where they'd bid on one thing and then show another thing to the users to get around regulatory issues. Of course, Ad-Networks don't like that for all kinds of reasons and shut down their accounts. So they hired people who previously worked at those networks on compliance, enforcement, or in customer support. Those people gave them all the info they needed to make their accounts not get flagged, not look suspicious when someone glances at them etc.

The fraudsters and manipulators are making money, and they're happy to pay money, and will usually find an ex-employee (or current, large corps don't have super-loyal employees) to spill the beans.

The legitimate customers will not, and they'll be harmed and annoyed because of the secrecy (which I think is more to cover corporate asses anyhow, because corporate knows all of this, obviously).

Green used to mean non-preemptive; which is not the case here, or for Golang or Erlang (afaik). M:N is all about resource usage, the semantics are mostly the same as OS threads.
I'm not so sure about this, but can we really say that they're just trying to hype their upcoming IPO a bit more? Who knows though. Also, I am thinking they might be on the right path to further delay their IPO because of the current market condition.
This is 100% related to (suspected) fraud, anti money laundering, or other types of financial/political sanctions. You may be 100% innocent, but they will never disclose any information to you about their reasoning (and in fact it is illegal for them to do so). Sorry this has happened.
I think you have enough reasons to sue them. Keeping your money hostage can result in all kind of loses for you.
More of a Polo than a Golf.
Though this sounds a difficult situation, I do understand that the bank aren’t able to explain the reason as it would potentially be tipping off a fraudster or someone who is breaking sanctions.

Monzo in the UK had this issue and put out quite a convincing defence if I remember correctly, though I cannot find the statement right now.
I suspect there’s a bunch of stuff that is going on, here, and is not being mentioned.

No bank would just refuse to accept money, without [in their eyes] a good reason.

Is the OP running any particular type of business that may be fraught with integrity issues? Is this one of those ever-shifting Amazon storefronts?

> My solution comes from Stephenson and Doctorow: distribute the technology freely. The sooner everyone has access to the incredible propagandic power of these technologies, the sooner we can develop counter measures.

I find this still a bit naive: if you take this to weapons for instance, you do not develop better/faster counter measures; you actually increase the risk for everyone, because the first (careless or not) to make a mistake (or a voluntary act) spoils everything for everyone.

I find it quite telling that the same argument happens from within the US: it would be so simple and more obvious to _avoid_ or mitigate risk (and... death really) by putting strict limitations and regulations on top of "dangerous stuff". But somehow, against evidence, there are still some to advocate loudly for said dangerous stuff to be deployed to everyone.

AI is not a weapon, but will be definitely used and weaponized by a lot. And even before that, we already are all collectively struggling with misinformation and manipulation.

This could also make it easier for scammers as it will be trivial to send phishing attempts tailored to each company without much effort.
Well, I agree about PayPal. But their whole business is predicated on being extremely vigilant against scammers, to the detriment of ordinary customers.

But regular American bank accounts are pretty different from PayPal or European bank accounts. (The original poster is talking about Chase so I assume the account in question was a regular checking account.)

I lived in the US for a couple of years, and the oddities of banking were a bit of a shock to me. In Europe we're used to bank transfers just working and costing nothing, but there isn't really an equivalent in the American system at all!

You can send a "wire" which usually costs $15-30 depending on the bank, and is meant for larger amounts and business transactions. Or, there's something called ACH which you can use to pay bills and businesses can use to send you money (e.g. paycheck deposits), but ordinary banking customers can't use ACH to send money to each other.

To address this obvious deficiency, banks have cooked up their own system called Zelle which is like a weird proprietary hybrid of PayPal and a European-style bank transfer. (Apparently it's so confusing to US bank customers that Zelle is widely used by fraudsters.)

So, when the OP wrote that they've been receiving deposits in the account that was closed, I'm curious to know what kind of deposits those were. Wires? ACH from businesses? Zelle? This could be a major factor in why the account triggered a red light at the compliance department.
Cargo and NPM and PyPi and RubyGems and likely others all definitely support this too.
That was hilarious. A great read. I say this for those like me that dont read the article and go straight to the comments.
Would the compliance department also cover the Bank's compliance re: the Bank's financials?
