> In New York City you should be making at least $150k to $200k for a decent life IMO. If that’s not you there’s no point living there,

People can have a pleasant life in an expensive city making far, far less than that IMO.

Just to be contrarian, there's more than 1 valid life path, but I'll make the totally opposite argument than yours. People who can't make a lot of money should consider living in a big city, and people who can make a reasonable amount of money should try and live outside of it.

Here's the argument.

People who can't make a lot of money anywhere won't likely ever be buying a house anyway regardless of where they live, so they'll fit into the rental culture in the city very well. If you're not making a lot of money, you won't be able to frequently travel regardless of where you live, so living in a big city is an advantage as it at least gives you an opportunity to experience a bit of global culture, have friends from around the country/world sometimes pass through and visit you, and gives you an option for an occasional fancy dinner out or tickets to some event when you can save up enough without thinking about a long trip that you don't have time for and can't afford. Ok, maybe you won't be going out for a fancy dinner, Beyonce concert, or Knicks game every single week, but you can save and plan for that once in a while and it's a realistic subway ride across town if you want it. A poor person living in a big city can have experiences that they wouldn't be able to logistically arrange otherwise.

But if you are capable of making a reasonably solid living, it makes more sense to stay out of the city. First, you'll likely be able to afford your own home comfortably. Even very high-earners can't afford to ever buy much more than a nice and clean and relatively roach/mice-free shoe-box in NYC, but you can live like a near-king in a smaller city making anywhere in 6 figures and can buy a massive home with all of the space needed for just about any hobby. A million dollars can get you a near palace outside of a major city, whereas a million dollar home in NYC is still depressingly small. And if you're making money and have your own home, you have the ability to travel anywhere you want when you're jonesing for some nightlife, beaches, gambling, entertainment, etc.

The uber-rich can afford to have homes in multiple towns and cities and can afford lots of space and an uber-comfortable life in any expensive city, so this analysis doesn't matter for them.
Thanks for the questions!

1. Docs for webhooks are located in our app (after login). But a basic outline is that you add your URL, add any custom headers you wish, get the signing key, subscribe to an event and you're off the races. Events that we currently support are Job Success, Job Failure, New Data, Diff Data. Probably the most popular event (as you have alluded to in your next question) is our Diff Data event. The payload for this event will return only the data that has changed for a particular record since the last time we received data from a PMS.

2. Currently, not via the API. We will be adding more features like this to the API in the coming weeks. For now, our customers seem to prefer the Diff Data webhook anyway.

3. We do cache the data. One of the hallmarks of PMS APIs is that they are unreliable. That being the case, all of the data served from our API is from our cache so we can pass along our uptime SLA benefits to our customers.
I couldn't find a way to show/hide various panels. e.g. line numbers, the bars with the (<- ->) arrows etc.

Would be great to allow toggling visibility of each of these pieces via an action to maximize screen real estate. Really annoying in VSCode that they force you to go into settings for some of the visibility toggles. Of course, didn't spend very long investigating.

Also after selecting VSCode keybindings, CMD+\ does not split the editor as it does in VSCode. Seems like a bug
Of course not, sure. But it depends on what you're targeting. If you want to dump code into a git repo, slap MIT on the license and never touch it again, you can, I've done so many times. But if you want people to use it, or if you want to earn money from it (Docker, GitLab, Plausible etc) then you will have to compete.
> Modeling -> Texturing ~ rigging /Animation -> post processing effects -> rendering - > video editing

In animation (and VFX), editing comes at the beginning. Throwing away frames (and all the work done to create them) is simply too expensive. Handles (the extra frames at the beginning and start of a shot) are usually very small. I'd say <5 frames.

Also modeling & texturing and animation usually happen in parallel. Later, animation and lighting & rendering usually happen in parallel as well.
I had to try, seems reasonable, haven't tested the code

As an AI language model, I do not have direct access to image editing software, but I can provide you with a shell script that could achieve the described image manipulation using ImageMagick, assuming it is installed on your system.

Here's an example shell script that you could use as a starting point:

bash
Copy code
#!/bin/bash

# Set the input image filename
input_file="input.jpg"

# Set the output image filename
output_file="output.jpg"

# Increase the redness of the image
convert "$input_file" -modulate 100,150,100 -channel R -evaluate multiply 1.2 +channel temp1.jpg

# Flip the image vertically
convert temp1.jpg -flip temp2.jpg

# Crop the bottom 25% of the image
convert temp2.jpg -gravity South -chop 0x25% temp3.jpg

# Compress the image to 80%
convert temp3.jpg -quality 80 "$output_file"

# Clean up temporary files
rm temp*.jpg
To use this script, save it to a file (e.g., "image_manipulation.sh"), make it executable (e.g., "chmod +x image_manipulation.sh"), and run it in the same directory as your input image. The output image will be saved in the same directory with the name "output.jpg".

Please note that this is just an example script and may need to be modified depending on your specific image manipulation needs.

> much higher interest rates

Last time I looked Swiss rates were -0.75%, so I don't think having to go back to positive rates would be an unspeakable horror.
I mean you can always find justifications for abuses of power/removal of rights.

Just look at points to the entirety of human history across all civilizations ever.

What's your point? That truly bad people can find fig leaves to provide people who agree with their bad beliefs but want to continue the appearance of civil society so they can go to the rest of the community and advocate for the bad thing?
Ask HN: Is anyone using GPT-4 to assist in reverse engineering machine code?
> Can't really plan ahead without some kind of certainty.

You can only plan ahead with uncertainty, because that's the only way that humans interact with time. Nothing is 100%. Even if you paid enterprise rates for the privilege to run a local instance, and ran that on a physical server on your site, and had backup hardware in case the production hardware failed...the stars might be misaligned and you might fail your build. You can only estimate probabilities, and you must therefore include that confidence level in your plans.

Sure, depending on free third-party sources is much more risky than any of that, but no one knows the future (at least for now, and ignoring some unreliable claims of some mystics to the contrary, though I estimate with very high confidence that those claims are false and that this state of affairs is unlikely to change in the next 5 years).
Overpopulation is a myth best left behind in the 1970s.
Not trying to be a naysayer or downplay how cool GPT4 is, but the term 'AGI' has existed for decades and is suffering from general confusion and inflation (again like 'crypto' now being read as 'coins' or even 'NFT' by the general public).

See eg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligenc... or better read Bostrom's book "Super Intelligence"
Buy a gun or vehicle? Because if you are at the mercy of insane, irrational, and potentially violent actors there is nothing other than force which can guarantee safety. They will call it unfair that their victim fought back and that three or more on one went to the one. Because fairness is a solipsistic, narcissistic standard that cannot be objectively defined. It is more a rhetorical device than anything logic related as you can argue any standard as fair or unfair.
Trying to imagine this stuff being even more hyped and I just don't think its possible. People around here are practically ready to sell their first born child to OpenAI/Microsoft at this point.
The most obvious, direct lever is they set the reserve requirement ratio. The bank isn't going to make the loan if they don't have the reserve.

The next mechanism is setting the Fed funds rate and discount rate. That will very directly incentivize the bank to loan more or less money.

The third is the ability to buy whatever asset it deems necessary to support the economy. Quantitative easing almost directly impacts money supply.
"Built to Sell" - quick read, but transformative for me because something about it clicked with me and got me to pivot from selling "work" to selling "products"
Thanks very much for the detailed answer!
Much closer to what I had in mind! Thanks, this one is new to me. It would've saved me time in my previous testing.

Hopefully one day the existing CSS properties like letter-spacing can be supported in @font-face to allow for even better matching. That would make techniques like this even more powerful.
Generative "Pre-Trained" Transformer - GPT

They did not start with a transformer that had arbitrary parameters, they started with a transformer that had been pre-trained.
I think we are misaligned on the reference time for the real valuation.

If you buy a 10 year bond today, you will get $100m dollars in 2023.

In 2033, that $100m will have a real value of $100m 2033 dollars on your balance sheet.

HTM assets are reported in the nominal purchase price today, which is also the real dollar value if you calculated it on the day of maturity.

I agree that if you estimated the net present value of $100m 2033 dollars, it would be worth less in terms of 2023 dollars.

This brings us back to your earlier question

>Do you really want to pretend that a ten year bond you purchased when inflation and the interest rate were near zero, is worth the same when inflation and the interest rate go up to say 10%? What about inflation of 100%? In nominal terms you’ll get back your capital, but in real terms you will get back only one thousandth.

YES! This way the asset sheet is always correct in how much you will get for the asset. If you have a $100 nominal bond it is worth $100 dollars. That is true today, and that will be true on the day of maturity. It will be true every day in between. The dollar value of the asset remains constant at the time of reporting.

Why would you want to report the net present value of that asset at maturation - which sounds like what you are suggesting?

The point of listing your bonds on your balance sheet isn't to estimate profit or returns, it is to list your current asset allocation.

You have a separate line item for revenue coming from those bonds. You have a separate model entirely for calculating ROI and profitability.

If you made a spreadsheet of your current asset allocation today, how would you list money locked in a 10 yr CD. As the dollar amount in the account, the value if you were forced to pull it out and pay a penalty, or some time shifted valuation?
The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. - Scott Fitzgerald

I disagree that the two ideas are completely opposed. They both describe tools in building something. Though if I think about how Zero to One is approached, I feel it's more of a manifesto on overcoming challenges, and doing challenging things. Lean Startup focuses on how to run small experiments.

Nobody says building something challenging isn't just the process of running lots of experiments to find what works.
Yeah a lot of them are vim-related one way or another. Not just that book but lots of blog posts etc.
> If LeaseWeb tells you: 1 Gbps dedicated/unlimited per $143/month, it means you can use it 24x7.

While that is true in theory, if you in practice saturate your bandwidth 24x7 by reselling it your contract will probably get cancelled (or at least that is the case for most "unlimited" contracts).

I don't think you actually answered the questions of the parent.
Every other institution borrows long to lend short. That's how money is usually made in a financial company, like a hedge fund or something similar. Banks are the counterparty (in a cosmic sense) to that trade: they borrow short to lend long. It is an inherently unstable business model, but it works if you trust them enough.
Sorry, we're discussing GPT and LLMs here, not human consciousness and intelligence.

GPT has been constructed. We know how it was set-up and how it operates. (And people commenting here should be basically familiar with both hows mentioned.) No part of it does any reasoning. Taking in inputs and generating outputs is completely standard for computer programs and in no way qualifies as reasoning. People are only bringing in the idea of 'reasoning' because they either don't understand how an LLM works and have been fooled by the semblance of reasoning that this LLM produces or, more culpably, they do understand but they still falsely continue to talk about the LLM doing 'reasoning' either because they are delusional (they are fantasists) or they are working to mislead people about the machine's actual capabilities (they are fraudsters).
I imagine the solution will simply be to charge higher prices across the board. We will all pay for the ability to charge back and not lose account access, including subsidizing the most flagrant abusers of such a policy. This could be a good trade off, but I think it's important to highlight that there is definitely no free lunch here and that legislating this problem away will have some downstream effects.

I must have misunderstood what you were objecting to then, my bad. What claim are they making that is so impossible that it borders on being unethical?

I mentioned JIT because it seems to be based on a similar principle at least, that of optimizing things on the programmer's behalf by looking at the program's usage and not just by looking at how to speed up the code generally.

Finite and Infinite Games - James P. Chase
According to Swiss news the primary issue with CS is a reputation problem and not a liquidity problem. Worst case the SNB will provide liquidity.

There has been a lot of turmoil last year at CS but the Saudies which own 10% did say they are happy with the new approach the bank is taking since last year.

Also CS is considered to big to fail and has to follow some very strict Swiss rules that were put in place 2008. FINMA believes the bank is stable.
I believe this distortion is largely the product of the fact that the justice system has simply not grown in order to keep up with the growth of the U.S. population over time nor has it modernized practices sufficiently to mitigate this disparity.

For example, many matters which would've been settled rapidly 50 years ago are delayed because each time the judge schedules a subsequent hearing, it is put at the end of an already extensive schedule. Because the docket of each judge is so full, a follow-up hearing for a respondant which would've come 3-4 days or maybe a week later in the past is now booked weeks or months down the road. I don't refer to the time delays which are intended to accommodate preparation of defense or to provide discovery. Totally perfunctory appearances can be spread out over weeks or months.

The system has also failed to grown or adapt to accommodate the significant growth in chargeable offenses. Many more things are a criminal matter now than were 70 years ago.
You don't have less war by stopping victims from defending themselves. You just get to improve the odds that the attacker is successful.
> See, this always worried me. How do you buy insurance against rising interest rates? Or more precisely, WHERE to you buy insurance against rising rates?

You buy what’s called an interest rate swap. And yes, there is always counterparty risk. But that doesn’t mean you can throw your hands in the air and say “risk management isn’t important because you can never fully remove counterparty risk.”

And in the cases of the insolvent banks, it’s not like they did everything in their power to reduce risk. They didn’t. I’m not against having the government support the banks. But I think that, if a bank needs government support, then it should give up its equity to the government to get it.
> State regulation of state-chartered banks and certain non-bank affiliates of federally chartered banks applies in addition to federal regulation. State-chartered banks are subject to the regulation of the state regulatory agency of the state in which they were chartered. For example, a California state bank that is not a member of the Federal Reserve System would be regulated by both the California Department of Financial Institutions and the FDIC. Likewise, a Nevada state bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System would be jointly regulated by the Nevada Division of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve.

And from https://www.fdic.gov/about/what-we-do/index.html

> The FDIC directly supervises and examines more than 5,000 banks and savings associations for operational safety and soundness. Banks can be chartered by the states or by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Banks chartered by states also have the choice of whether to join the Federal Reserve System. The FDIC is the primary federal regulator of banks that are chartered by the states that do not join the Federal Reserve System. In addition, the FDIC is the back-up supervisor for the remaining insured banks and savings associations.

How to Scrape Twitter Data Using Python Without Using Twitter’s API

As long as you do WORK to earn money, you are a worker.

Once you are earning from investments and not doing a thing, YOU ARE NO LONGER a worker.

You seem really out of touch with reality.
Interesting. I initially went with Contabo because they were (are?) much cheaper than their competitors. At last when it comes to VPS.
Very beautiful, have you considered narrating this and putting a play button at the top? x)
Thanks for the catch! We just pushed a fix.
> create new data in it through approximations and heuristics defined in the algorithm

I guess the difference is where the algorithm gets it's input data from. Just sensor data or does it draw from a neural network that memorized a bunch of images / data store of images too.

You can argue what's the difference between this and Huawei replacing the image of the moon when their phone detects it with a hi-res one it has in storage - it's an "algorithm" too.

Are you using just the data provided to draw conclusions? Or do you include extra data from elsewhere to get your conclusions?
For what it's worth, I worked with Dr. Seales while getting my undergrad degree. Happy to vouch that he and his team are great humans.

This is such a fascinating problem, and could have real benefits for society. Imagine uncovering ancient works that would otherwise be lost.
I don't think I'm smart enough to understand the game that some of these people are playing. I'm pretty sure it is at a higher level than the way I see things.

But my sense of it is that there really isn't much of a risk of contagion at all. The only way it would happen is if everyone got irrationally worried. And, honestly, it seems like some of these people are trying to stoke that exact fear.

I wonder if this is all a ploy to corner the Fed into not raising rates next week. Like, I think a lot of people benefit from the easy money we've had and they want to get back to it.

Having said that, I'll repeat what I said above: I'm not smart enough to really understand what is going on.
If that was true, people in Brazil wouldn't be pirating movies as much as they do, and there wouldn't be computer shops in downtown São Paulo selling cracked copies of Windows to small/medium business like they still do.

The only thing that makes it expensive is the desire to be there. If you move that "desire" to a rural location, its going to cost the same but have larger distances to travel, a la Los Angeles.
Why are so many looking for a villain here?

I don’t think anyone did anything wrong at all.

Alex correctly assessed that he was giving his customer everything they wanted, and left it at that. It doesn’t sound like he was pushy. He didn’t call more than once in a while after big deposits. Mitchel just needed a place to hold cash. Seems like they both got everything they needed out of the relationship.

If anybody here was deluded, maybe it was Alex’s leadership who mistakenly thought there was a chance to sell huge financial products to this “whale.” Alex understood otherwise, and probably spent most of his time managing that impedance mismatch with his boss.
Swiss Government Holds Talks on Options to Stabilize Credit Suisse
What's the difference between photographing the real moon and photographing an image of the moon?

You might say that the real moon is infinitely far away and has a straight line of sight. Okay, what about the moon through periscope mirrors? The moon through binocular lenses (in front of the phone camera)? What about the real moon next to the moon reflected off a window? What about the moon projected through a telescope onto a piece of paper? Which one of these "moons" should be subject to image "enhancement" and which should not?

You might say the real moon has a certain angular size and brightness... but again, lenses, filters, cloud cover, distances to artificial objects, brightness of artificial objects.

I don't think there is any realistic way to distinguish the real moon from a picture of the moon.
This is actually more of a funding problem than a supply problem. In many jurisdictions, the criminal justice system is expected to pay for itself, in part or nearly in total.
I was merely surprised by this, but the position that one has to want war in order to want to support Ukrainian defence in this unprovoked war of aggression is at best naive.

Also I’m not American, why would you think so?
