This is the biggest lie you will ever read (not you specifically, but this pitch).

The funds will be recovered from special bank assessments, which means you and I will pay to bail out SVB and Signature via increased bank fees and more over the next decade. Not to mention the FDIC is guaranteeing depositors will be made 100% whole, which means again, you and I are guaranteeing the deposits if this special bank assessment comes up short or falls through.

So no, taxpayer money is not directly used - that part is true. But it is patently false that taxpayers will not be paying to bail these banks out.

It's a giant political game being played... avoid the look of a recession no matter what. Don't even speak the dreaded "B" word...

I would like to see country try go the full route of building 500§ wind and solar.

Twenty five years ago we did have a country in EU that started this route. Denmark reached 100% capacity 10 years ago. At that point the interest to build more wind and solar drastically dropped. Imports (which are around 1/3 to 1/2 of consumption) of nuclear and hydro energy is critical to keep their gird operational, and their investments into wind and solar would not function without those imports.

We also have countries like France that relied on their nuclear power plants the last 25 years and are now in dire need to modernize their plants. We have Sweden which heavily relied on their hydro power plants and are now in dire need to replace and repair them unless multiple species end up extinct. We got Germany and others that depended on cheap fossil fuel, primarily with the plan to upgrade into green hydrogen some time in the future.

None of those strategies ended up being a winner and everyone is rushing for new strategies. In 25 years from now we will see which bets won, if any. Maybe it will be that undersea cable from north Africa. We don't know, through I expect all of them to be more expensive than the cheapest option.

NATO doesn’t want to become an actual war party if they can help it, and instead want to contain the conflict within Ukraine, hoping that will be sufficient. So they try to do what they can within that constraint, and within each member country’s domestic political constraints, as of course its citizens aren’t eager to get drawn into a war, or to otherwise suffer from their country’s involvement. At this point it’s also unclear what China will do should Russia start losing the war due to more direct NATO involvement; and finally there’s the nuclear risk.

On the other hand, if you let Russia roam freely and restrict yourself to formal protest, that would set a very bad precedent, and would only encourage further military operations by Russia and other authoritarian parties wanting to expand their sphere of influence. Last but not least, Ukraine is a significant agricultural and mineral/metal producer in the world, which the West certainly doesn’t want to see under Russian control, not to speak of Ukraine’s role in the geostrategic importance of the Black Sea.

As a developer, I often need to share code snippets or small programs with my colleagues. While GitHub Gists are a great way to share code, creating them can be a bit of a pain. That's why I decided to create the `gist.nvim` plugin to simplify the process.

`gist.nvim` is a simple plugin for Neovim that allows you to create a GitHub Gist from the current file with just one command: `:CreateGist`. The plugin prompts you for a description and privacy settings for the Gist, and then copies the URL of the created Gist to the system clipboard. It's a small but handy tool that saves me a lot of time when I need to share code.

I hope that gist.nvim can be useful to other developers who need to share code quickly and easily.
The plugin is open source and available on GitHub, so feel free to check it out, fork it, or contribute as needed. And if you have any feedback or suggestions, I'm always open to hearing them.
No, only SVB and Signature enjoy infinity insurance. Everyone else that played by the rules gets a measly $250k max...

Exactly. Once you cover the essentials, everything above that is cash in your pocket.

People say "oh my god, housing is double in the Bay Area"? And yeah it is. But if you're renting and it doubles from $2,000 to $4,000, that's an extra $24,000 post-tax per year.

If you're getting a salary bump of >$36,000 per year (pre-tax) then you'll still be ahead paying double for rent.

Correct, reddit has been up and down pretty regularly and has had its own share of problems like the irritating web interface and the nagging to user their iOS/Android app. Twitter had a terrible time coping with growth in the 2010s and the "fail whale" became a bit of a meme, but that died down as they got a hold of how to handle hockey-stick growth. Suddenly we're seeing that a bit more frequently. Weird, that!

It's interesting how this line has shifted after the layoffs from:

1. actually it'll be fine, they had too many staff. nothing will change.

2. actually it's broken because Twitter "1.0" sucks, is brittle and is unsustainable. we need to throw out their garbage code.

3. actually it's ok to have downtime, it worked for the guys who have a less than a quarter of the active users we do [0][1] who also have a year-on-year decline in users!

I guess I'm gonna have to answer the "you just hate Twitter/Elon" thing - look I would've been happy if Twitter carried on as-is, even if Elon let his politically active pals back on the site again. But they dumped Tweetbot, I don't like Twitter's app, I found I liked Ivory + a bunch of people on Mastodon so :shrug: maybe Twitter isn't for me any more. No biggie.

I don't think people make that distinction in their lived felt experience. Mods == Reddit.
LA and the surrounding area isn't cheap to live in. It really all depends on what you do with your money and how lavishly you want to live but I'd say $120k is actually quite reasonable if you're able to live reasonably. Given the choice of $120k in LA or $120k elsewhere, I'm not going to lie, the $120k is going to go further elsewhere (except for, like, SF or New York), but then you're not in LA.

I also don't mean to impugn ramen either, as LA's got some really really good ramen restaurants. It all comes down to if you want to or not. LA's got a lot to offer but it's not for everybody.

I don’t know why the author cringes so much or feels like they made mistakes. You don’t owe Chase anything, it’s on them to earn your business and treat you like the major account you are. We had a similar situation and Chase treated us poorly, ultimately denying my wife and I a relatively small home mortgage, despite having millions in a business account with them. I will never forget how they made us feel. All I see in this story is more cluelessness from Chase, not any mistakes by the author.

They’ve been chasing our business ever since we moved to SVB post Series A. They’re going to get it since we wired our money out of SVB today (not my decision), but do they deserve it? Absolutely not.
I think all the layoffs at big tech also say so

That's surprising. I see $120 steaks on the menu in Las Vegas restaurants. Why not at the ski resort?

Perhaps because the alternative to a $120 restaurant steak is buying nice groceries and cooking at the dacha?

Mhmm.

Genuine question, and maybe it's just something I'd have to experience to really understand, but why is it so common for people to think psychedelics are opening us up to what is ""real"" or some deeper truth, instead of assuming that the experiences are just what happens when you completely overload brain chemistry in a specific way? You wouldn't assume that a sugar high reveals a deep truth about the way humans are supposed to behave, just because people generally react in a similar way after eating a pint of Ben & Jerry's.

I’ll take the Pepsi Challenge on GPT-4 replacing SEs. It’s the same take I’ve had on self-driving. Outside of very niche situations it’s never going mainstream.

The only people in the short term who are going to greatly benefit from GPT coding are people selling tutorials for using GPT to code.

By 2012, the banking industry had spent two or three decades educating customers to teach them that banking is an impersonal transaction which takes place via ATM machines and the internet, and never, ever, ever involves talking to a bank teller behind a counter. They've been trying to de-personalize banking since back when I got my first ATM card in 1983 or so.
Would the world care if HN died suddenly? Almost no one would even notice.

Reddit is really little different from HN; it's just bigger.
In widely underreported news, before anyone blames looser regulations, Barney Frank of the Dodd-Frank Act fame was literally on the board of Signature Bank, which also collapsed. He also has stated the regulation reduction under the last administration has nothing to do with this situation, whatever you make of that.
I read that there was only one person on the board with experience in banking. Is this normal for the board of a bank?
Seems like combining this with Tor onion service would be a natural fit putting aside potential legal or ethical issues. Any thoughts on the topic?
Reddit was never on the level of Twitter in terms of real-time news relevancy. Tweets are broadcast on television and used as sources for news stories constantly.
No, because they're animals.
You're safe. No YC startup would ever build a system like HN. (Except maybe if I ever start another one.)
This will destroy the boiler plate industry.

So bye javascript, it's not been nice.

What will stay, is human level systems engineering, Running things, designing etc. And for a very long time, you're going to have to check AI's work.

Anyway, I don't think it'll be nuclear bomb devastating to this industry, but it should give us all pause and make sure we get skills to compliment coding.

Ask HN: What Happens When AI Is Emailing with AI?
Hey HN

Over the past few months, there have been countless GPT-powered products released in the past few months that help you automate personalized emails to thousands of unsuspecting recipients. Yet no one is talking about the people on the receiving end of those emails.

What happens when those recipients have AI email assistants responding to those AI-generated messages? I'm curious what people think this end state will look like. Some questions on my mind.

- Do the AI-assistants know their respective parties goals and only reach out to the human when necessary?

- Will email providers hide AI-to-AI conversations and only surface the end-state?

- Will there be regulatory disclosures required "this email is generated by AI" similar to requiring unsubscribe links on mailing lists?

- Will there be a single dominant AI assistant for all types of emails? Or specialized assistants for different types of emails (sales, recruiting, events, other solicitations)?

- Does the way we interact with email itself change? Does your inbox become more like a messaging app with different AI bots, similar to Slack or Discord?

- Does emailing become extremely terse and action oriented? i.e instead of an thank you email, you received a notification in your inbox saying "Sarah thank you for X"

What do you all think?

Disclosure:

My curiosity comes from actively working on a project in this problem space for recruiting, called SRC (https://sharedrecruiting.co). SRC goal is to promote transparent, collaborative communication by narrowing the tooling gap between candidates and companies. For candidates, this is an AI-powered career assistant in their inbox. For companies, it's an AI-powered sourcing sidekick. If this idea resonates, join the waitlist or reach out to me at devin at sharedrecruiting.co :)
> you wouldn't need to feed it examples of this puzzle with every single permutation

No, but you would need "enough"; whatever that number happens to be.

> It would only need a few descriptions of each animal plus a few examples of the puzzle to understand the logic.

That's the mistake.

GPT itself can't combine those two things. That work has to be done by the content of the already-written training corpus.

And the result is not the same as "understanding logic". It doesn't model the meaning of the puzzle: it models the structure of examples.

GPT can't distinguish the meaning of rules. It can only follow examples. It can't invent new strategies, it can only construct new collections of strategy parts; and it can only pick the parts that seem closest, and put those parts into a familiar order.

GPT doesn't play games, it plays plays.
> One simply ignores morals or does not care.

Third possibility: they have different values which you either don't understand or agree with.
> 3 is not true. As rates rise, more people pull money out of the stock market and park it into higher interest deposits.

For "lower deposits" read "fewer startups get funded and deposit their funds at the bank."
Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro are used to make an enormous of excellent art and are really expressive tools.
It's quite an ingenious situation.

- FDIC guarantees that every deposit at these banks up to an unlimited amount will be paid out by the US government.

- Because of that guarantee, the bank run stops and people leave their money there (and in fact deposit more).

- Because of the influx of cash the bank solves its liquidity issues and the government doesn't actually have to spend a single penny.

In theory all of this works. But the next question is – how far will this go? Will FDIC do the same for every bank in the country? Can they all just start taking more and more risk? Do customers not need to care about how well their bank is run, because ultimately the US government is everyone's bank?

Did we just accidentally invent a fully socialized national banking system?
Given a list of contributors it's not that hard to reverse-engineer the specific engineering choices made by looking up their publication history.

The main thing we'd like the security review to focus on is our Rust client code. We'd also really like to select for a reviewing team that has a deep level of familiarity with cryptography. We would provide the team with a summary of the sensitive operations involved in lattice-based key generation, so that lattice experience would not need to be a hard prerequisite to understanding the code.
> - Ukraine has no agency

What do you mean by agency here? It's clear by now that at least some Ukrainian men aged 18 are kept captive in their own country and that they've no agency over their natural right to make decisions for themselves (whether to leave the country or to fight for the land they might care about) as they are being physically coerced into trenches of war by their own government. If you assume that the government has the right to deprive its citizens from their agency to decide on that matter and if you believe that projecting state power over the lives of common folks who think otherwise is justified as long as it serves your political viewpoints in this war, I see no reason why you'd complain when Russia projects its military power over Ukraine's agency when it fits Russia's geo-political goals. It's the same principle of might making it right, after all.
AFAIU this only happened when taking out "loans" from SVB and it's not a general practice to add banking stipulations to terms sheets.
