I also wish that was still part of the product.

Not only was there more diverse content when learning (though for that I can at least recommend Clozemaster), but now that some part of my mobile experience keeps defaulting to showing me wikipedia in German[0], I keep realising how out of sync the different languages of wikipedia are.

It's definitely more complex than that because many of those APIs have additional areas that may or may not be covered by permissions.

For example, Firefox implemented permissions for enumerating MIDI devices, and Chrome didn't, with predictable results: https://twitter.com/denschub/status/1582730985778556931?s=20
>> Under which ethical framework is it possible to justify industrial slaughtering of animals?

> The one in which human comfort takes precedence over that of a domesticated species which have been selectively bred over generations to produce meat for consumption. The industrial process is tertiary to the slaughter itself and the economics of meat consumption. You can argue about 'industrialization' of anything -- resource extraction and industrial agriculture at large destroy life on a massive scale.

How is human comfort an "ethical framework"? I'm not sure you understand what ethics are.

And yet that's written by someone who is working for 10 times minimum wage from his home on his adjustable motorized standing desk. While ordering sushi (because I can afford to every day and the maid is off, because I can afford a maid) for lunch, I received a text message from my friend, a nurse, saying that she will do 50 hours this week and she can't come to the diner we plan.

Question is level of these fees. If they were to charge let's say 0.5% on any deposit of any scale it might work.

With current levels of normal account fees, likely less so. There is lot of staff and operational expenses even if these were set at minimum.
Hetzner is not on the level of the any you mentioned. It's dirt cheap because latencies and protections against exploits are non-existent, sure it serves good when you don't have such needs but the moment you need any (i.e. DDoS protection and low/stable ms for game servers) - hetzner is out of the window.

The Laws of Human Stupidity (Carlo Cipolla):

1: "Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation." Do not be fooled by traits assumed to be exclusive of stupidity such as education or career.

2: "The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person."

3: "A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses." The corollary is that the exact nature of stupidity is difficult to predict and therefore guard against. (Refer to the QZ article covering these laws for an interesting graph comparing stupid people to all other types of people.)

4: "Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances, to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake."

5: A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person - more dangerous than an intelligent but selfishly-motivated actor.

> They all want to drive 3-ton SUVs everywhere.

To be fair, the sparseness and geographic distribution of population, business and industrial centers in a great deal of the US is such that driving a car quickly becomes the only sensible option. A large SUV, sure, that's a valid question. Some of it is also driven by geography/topology. These cities did not evolve with mass transport as an important option.

To give you an idea of what this means in practice. I can get to the nearest major airport in about 30 minutes by car (at night, no traffic). If I want to use mass transit, it will take a minimum of 3 hours, only if you time it perfectly. It could take you six hours.

It's worse than that. Here's what I would have to do:

Walk 30 minutes
Get on a bus for 35 minutes
Walk for another 5 minutes
Get on another bus for 54 minutes
Walk another 5 minutes
Get on a bus for 20 minutes
Walk 30 minutes
Arrived

Remember that, these days, you have to be at the airport two to three hours before your flight.

Now add weather, heat, rain, carrying luggage, perhaps travelling with kids, etc. I'm sorry, even the most ardent environmentalist is going to just throw everything into a large SUV or minivan and just get there.

This reality will not change. These cities are simply not designed for what exists in other parts of the world. The only hope we have is a future where shared self-driving robot cars can make a difference. I can't see anything else that might change this reality.
This pov ignores a lot of the emergent theory of mind and world model building research that suggests LLMs may possess a form of rudimentary reasoning ability.

<< Yes, now I wonder if anyone is allowed to fail.

That was one of the questions on the call/presentation I was recently on and no one has a clear answer at the moment ( I suppose it is not a surprise since we can't take Yellen at her word ). Some clarity will be needed and sooner rather than later if stated policy and rules are to be believed to be real policy and rules.

FWIW, odds are, just about every bank by now has either reviewed or scrambling to review their exposure.

I do not envy the weight of Yellen's decisions, because from where I sit it is still hard to tell if it was a 'less bad choice' available.

The bank run should have been neutralised by the Fed lender of last resort function.

The problem was that the bank didn't have the collateral or the income to pay the Fed's rate.

The assets the bank had were poor quality and didn't generate enough income. If the Fed won't lend, why would anybody invest in the bank. Far better to turn up at the auction and pick up the assets for cents on the dollar.
A new one on me, thanks!
I guess if you use it like Google for small nuggets of information you can easily fact check, it's fine.

Although might as well just use Google directly which will send you either to Stack Overflow or Reddit where there are comments discussing the issue with back and forth fleshing it out or to a bunch of tutorial sites where you can source opinions from each site.

edit: nevermind the attempt at your puzzle, my solution doesn't work.

Sure. But it would be a lot easier to tag output like images as "AI generated" in a small handful of generators like StableDiffusion and similar, than making the opposite and telling people to tag their non-ai-generated content as non-ai-gemerated.
Keep in mind that SVB equity was totally wiped out. Everyone most certainly was not protected.

The people who make the poor decisions absolutely took a hit. The Board and management of the bank all took a hit and lost their jobs.

ArsTechnica has an article (from 2020) on the topic which seems somewhat balanced
and seems to have interviewed some legal experts:

The only sources I can find about the Fed taking any kind of action against narrow or full reserve banks is on low-credibility websites with ideological agenda.

Can you describe what the Fed blocking action was and where I can read about it? I'm tempted to conclude that it doesn't exist without additional evidence.
It wouldn't, which is why this page is so disingenuous.

In this case it's the banking system having a crisis (perhaps revealing some Ponzi-like elements). Surely that is a boost to the crypto bros, in the abstract at least.

I mean that a lot of speech that goes to court and gets defended by the first amendment should possibly be actionable. There are plenty of extremists who walk this line but the Westboro Baptist Church are the first that come to my mind. There's also plenty of hypocrisy when applying these laws. A lot more brown people seem to get prosecuted for radicalisation than white "Christian" extremists.

IMO: It's okay to hold the opinion, it's okay to air the opinion, but picketing funeral processions? You're being a dick. Straight to jail.

I think that's a problem with freedoms in general is that there's no scope to measure people being a dick to people who aren't. The law should have leeway in both directions for outliers.

Just my take, anyway. It probably is worse than outright freedom but it might feel fairer for a few minutes.

You’re asking for the insurance coverage to exceed what you paid for. If you insure a Bugatti Veyron with a policy that maxes out at $50k, that’s not the insurer’s fault.
That's an interesting point that I've seen discussed a lot in regards to training AI image generation and code regurgitation but not brought up with regard to LLMs in general probably because it's harder to point a finger at a particular thing and see out and out plagiarism.

Well, Rust doesn’t solve concurrency issues either, it can only prevent data races which is a tiny subset only. There are different kinds of race conditions as well, deadlocks, livelocks, etc which are generally unsolvable.

And to be honest, Rust doesn’t have all that strong type system compared to Haskell/ML which introduced these concepts in the first place. Also, there are plenty of languages in the category of “managed, with a strong type system”.
The points Sacks makes there contain some truth but, make no mistake, they are selectively chosen and completely self-serving.

1. Talk of inflation doesn't mention a way more effective tool for tackling it: taxation. Inflation is offhandedly blamed on the government too for not being "transitory". Sacks is actually torn here. Non-zero interest rates hurt the VC model but as a rich guy he certainly doesn't want, say, a corporate windfall profits tax;

2. He claims he wanred about pumping trillions of dollars into the economy. Why 2 years ago and not 14-15 years ago when the zero-interest QE started? What's the difference? Oh, who got the money in 2020? This is part of a consistent narrative from rich people that it's only ever a problem when poor people get government money. Then it's a moral hazard.

3. Further to the "2 years ago" narrative, we should remember that Covid relief started under Trump, not Biden. So why not "3 years ago"? Is Sacks trying to avoid criticizing Trump? Weird. I wonder why.

4. Not one mention of deregulation. Weird.
“With a single readable 600 line main.py, bunch of nice tricks” – Karapathy
Boomers existed in a society were everything were not sold yet. Were every pieces of land was not occupied and optimized yet.

Now the theater is full.

It's not that boomers earned much and today a lot of people earn too little.

Is that then things were less rare than today compared to the demand.

Also, I earn way more than my father and grand-father, and my life style just cannot be compared, nor the energy I consume or waste I produce.

So as an IT guy, no, this is not enough to explain it. And boomers were certainly not divas. Their working conditions were definitly not as good as in IT today.
I don't care about borrowing. I care about keeping my money safe. And for that I need an Entity that does not play the lottery with my savings.
This is very alarming. I want a place I can store dollars in gold equivalents and redeem them for dollars at will. I don't want new loans to be derived from my deposits. This is hardly an extremist position.
I dont disagree, and I am not part of the SV bubble. Most developers in my country can barely even dream of anything close to US compensation. But we didn't create this climate, VC money and decades of low rates must have played a huge part.

I think that being angry with bailouts for people who don't need them is a lot more understandable than anger at hypocrisy. I don't think any taxpayer money will go to rich VCs though, and I hope the losses on SVB's assets will be absorbed entirely by equity/bond holders.

I’m not outraged that banks are being saved. I’m not outraged about anything. But I do think it’s a bit stupid to get up on a soap box and yell “we’re definitely not bailing out banks” when that’s exactly what’s happening.
It is a safer bet that someone will hook a neural net up to a camera on someone's hat, train from reality, then re-derive art from that. Then AIs will use the same methods as humans to maintain their grounding in reality.

The problem with the current crop of AI is they pretty clearly don't understand that they are taking a 2D projection of a 3D concept. That'll be fixed and there is a good chance it'll be fixed with video footage because that is how humans do it.
It's a little sad because PyPy literally is written in (a restricted subset of) Python, hence the name.
>Are you seriously trying to put the blame for software bloat and bad UX on "noobs" implementing things poorly?

>Popular web pages being choked with ads and modal banners is the result of business decisions to put those there

Who do you think has implemented all that shitty ad and banner code? It for sure wasn't a professional. If ads had initially been implemented by competent programmers they wouldn't have contained nearly as many avenues for abuse and actual malware spreading mechanisms.

More so professional programmers can pick their work. Noobs have to settle for writing shitty ad code.

>bad engineers making implementation mistakes

Most of these noobs aren't even "engineers" they are bunch of near tech illiterate "normies" who have just graduated from two week code camp. These are the people who unironically say "my job is just copy-pasting from StackOverflow". I am sorry to say this, but you (whoever is reading this and hard disagreeing) might be the problem.

I must point out the irony of asking "Do Jews exert disproportionate influence over Western politics, culture, technology and media in defence of their ethnic interests?" and getting the response "Sorry, I'm not allowed to answer that"!

I don't know what the best pro-Jewish solution is, but the current ham-fisted censorship is providing an entertaining spectacle that does little to dispel certain controversial ideas.
Except that they do... That's how banks make money. With interest. They lend it as mortgage or as T-bills lending it to the government.

Just look at the balance sheet of SVB
Thank you. Echoes my thoughts completely.

The UK is a food disaster, and is the reason so many people here are overweight and obese (64% of adults) and die early.

The meal deal is the staple of almost any office workers lunch, and easily packs around 1000 calories in the form of a sandwich (400-600), pack of crisps / chocolate bar (300) and drink (up to 200).

Anecdotally, from what I experience in my office, home-made lunches aren't much better. As you stated, it's always washed down with a pack of crisps and soda (or multiple). When people do cook, it falls under the British triumvirate of home cooking:-

- Spag' bol' (pasta, beef mince and sauce)
- Stir fry
- Pasta bake (pasta with sauce and cheese and things thrown on top)

Where I live, and when I go to the gym, I see Deliveroo, Just Eat, Uber Eats delivering constantly. All high fat, high calorie, salty and oily fast food (eg. McDonalds) or standalone takeaway joints (arguably worse). There's a huge trend in my city (Leeds) for people to eat lunch out, which is not only expensive, but calorie expensive too.

Supermarkets are 80% junk food. Do we really need 100 types of biscuits and cakes? Take a glance at the basket/trolley of the people around you, and there's typically a lot of crap in there.

You also tend to see a lot of fat kids (22% age 4-5, 37% age 10-11) everywhere. High school kids flood the supermarkets after school every day, eating huge packs of crisps and cakes (designed for multiple people and portions), and university students (from what I remember at uni) seem over-reliant on takeaways and ready meals.

I haven't looked it up, but I'd wager the average British energy intake is around 3000 calories, despite most people living completely sedentary lifestyles.

I've always received weird responses to eating fish (unless it's battered and served with chips, in which case it's a national delicacy), and people seem to make out as if it's something fancy, despite the fact we live on an island.

This, coupled with lack of exercise, is a ticking time bomb for our country. Everybody is just slowly killing themselves with various beige-coloured food.

This is true, but not currently relevant. The cost (difficulty) of training does not indicate how good a fit the model is for copyright protection.

I suspect that part of the arguing this out in court will be making those economic arguments as part of an attempt to extend copyright protection to model weights - but that is a separate issue from if they are protected currently.

Part of the economic argument for copyright is to encourage the investment of time into producing new works, so it may be a persuasive argument for extending protection. Although (relatively) recent history suggests that persuasive argument is not as powerful as giant wads of cold hard cash in extending copyright coverage.
Wasn't part of the problem that the properties were worth less than the principal on the mortgages?
Maybe it wasn't parameter count increase that made any of this possible but they don't want to give that away. By keeping all developments vague, it's harder to determine if they found some novel technique they don't want others to know.
