Failure was a foregone conclusion non matter what time horizon you wanted to apply.

The bank had wiped its equity before depositors drew on it. It was a matter of time it failed. Its loan portfolio is impaired. Its startups are burning DDA cash without vc funding. The majority of its capital is locked up on long duration bonds.

The bank was bleeding from a thousand cuts. It was put out of misery by a good old run to the head. Eventually some startup was going to try drawing on their checking and it was going to fail.

A bank run is just a symptom of the disease (mismanaged bank risk).
* What is the difference between `=` and `==` in `if [ $FOO == ...`?

* What is evaluated first, file globs or variable expansion?

Both are things that you might need to look up once in a lifetime. If you're getting to the point that are memorising rules like these, then you're writing too much Bash and should switch to a more robust language.
Xojo is another one worth looking at. Desktop and Web apps can be written pretty quick.
I wonder why this is not a commonly available and used thing.

I have always wanted to use more RAM chips than my CPUs/motherboards would support, put all the swap on RAM chips, probably also load the whole OS&apps system drive into RAM this way (hint for your board: add an SSD it would load from, single-time on turn-on) and only use a persistent storage drive for my actual data files.

Using more RAM instead of HDD/SSD always felt like a thing producing really great return in performance on investment in money as RAM is relatively cheap and really fast. The amount of RAM you were allowed to plug into a PC motherboard always felt like the most annoying limitation.
You are also correct: power buttons are digital. Contrast to a dimmer switch that can be set to any arbitrary point in a range.

>The cost of that extra interest would be the SVB's loss--the cash flows in from the bonds stay the same, but the cash flows out to the depositors would need to increase.

... but SVB expected to have positive net-interest-income with increasing rates. Look here:

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/719739/0000719739230...

A 100bp increase in interest rates would've increased net-interest-income by 1.8%; a 200bp increase by 3.5%. This is typical for banks, because lending rates go up more than deposit rates as the base rate increases, increasing interest margin.

So the idea that this is about NPV of future cash flows is not right.
training ML model to code is a very interesting challenge. I am surprised by GPTs ability to code, given that it, as I understood it, has basically no tools at the ready. I am convinced that it is way harder to code without debugging and other interactive features both for a human and for a machine. Keep in mind that GPT could not have learned to simulate the code internally given its fixed runtime.

I think ML models need to learn how to interact with our tools (compiler, debugger etc.) to really be effective at coding. That's hard.
Not really - rewriting the rules (FDIC insurance limits) midway through because SVB's own depositors yelled "bank run!" loud enough is still moral hazard. Do I need to make sure I bank with an institution that Jason Calcanis, Mark Cuban, et al use so I can insure my deposits with their political / popular leverage?

I can remember doing stuff in VB when I must have been 14 or so. Coming to it from QBASIC it felt incredibly powerful and incredibly complicated.

I think I managed to cobble together a simple form that informed the user the computer had a "virus", made it up as an .exe, and stuck it on a timer on the family computer for shits and giggles.

Good times.
I heard an interview on one of NPR shows last week and the guest talked about using electricity for healing. For example, if I remember correctly, a wound treated in someway with electricity healed faster. It had something to do with stimulating the cells in a particular way.

Side note: Does this give any credibility to the idea that magnets can heal?

- Pipe received email and decoded attachments as "We received the following e-mail: <content here>" to the OpenAI API. Make it a 1-click action to check if there is a reply and confirm sending the message. If it does not want to send a message, read its feedback.
> Initial suspicions in many European capitals focused on Russia, which denied any involvement. Analysts speculated that only a state with a sophisticated military would have been able to carry out such a complicated, underwater attack.
Investigators now, however, are focused on the Andromeda and the six people it carried. German officials who have been briefed on the probe said they were told some of the people who rented the yacht were Ukrainian. Others had Bulgarian passports since determined to be forgeries, they said.

It was obvious from the start to any casual unbiased observer that it was unlikely to be Russia. There was no motive for Russia to blow up the pipeline. It would be akin to shooting the hostage. Russia wanted to hold Western Europe and especially Germany hostage to natural gas and being able to turn it back on was a big part of their negotiating position. Since they already controlled the input to the pipe, blowing up the pipe did nothing to help the Russians.

I did not use the term liquidity.

But if you are not liquid you are insolvent. I mean, why is it banks get to use these terms to hide debt and the average person does not? If I have huge credit card debt that I cannot payoff in time the bank does not excuse me for my "liquidity", they say I am a risk and charge me higher interest rates.
They have a usage policy [1] that lists what you're not supposed to do and states "Repeated or serious violations may result in further action, including suspending or terminating your account.". Though I imagine for getting banned the more important section is in the sharing policy [2]: "Do not share content that violates our Content Policy or that may offend others."

Based on those quotes and what I've seen I'd say that occasional violations are fine, just don't excessively embarrass them online, and make sure violations are some small fraction of your overall use. I wouldn't worry about accidentially triggering the filter now and then, if they acted on that they wouldn't have many users left.

I had a teacher with a sign on her door that read:

But teachers who use technology will replace those who don't

s/teachers/programmers/ and s/technology/AI/ and this sounds about right. It may become typical or even required to leverage AI to write code more efficiently.
Linux sysadmin here. I’ve come across plenty of documentation, I’m almost certain was written by a dev, where it’s assumed I know the correct command line usage or concepts. I know a lot more than the average end user, but I’m _not_ a dev, either.

And please… (to those writing docs) always include examples. So many man pages lack examples; it can be very frustrating.

Coordination between businesses isn't illegal unless it is for the purpose of removing competition or fixing prices, and this action clearly isn't either of these.

Hard to argue with your point that banking is basically a utility now b/c of the government guarantees point, though.
What was it they changed about Music?
To take it further: if 80% is good enough and you gotta do some work anyways on the output of LLMs, maybe all the extrapolations like "just wait 10 years and most jobs are doomed" are exaggerated. It’s not unlikely that LLMs hit a wall, because they inherently lack any sort of logic and reasoning.

Which of course is a good thing to make sure many people get to keep their jobs.
> The behavior you're describing is not limited to developers..any profession that has a specialized set of skills and a specialized language that only the "in" people understand has the same issues.

You can use specialized language without having the attitude of a condescending prick.
My favorite part of that story is that Morgan was a rare book collector, his office was essentially a vault, and he locked the other bankers in with him.

> As discussion ensued, the bankers realized that Morgan had locked them in the library and pocketed the key to force a solution, the sort of strong-arm tactic he had been known to use in the past. Morgan then entered the talks and advised the trust companies that they must provide a loan of $25 million to save the weaker institutions. The trust presidents were still reluctant to act, but Morgan informed them that if they did not it would lead to a complete collapse of the banking system. Through his considerable influence, at about 4:45 a.m. he persuaded the unofficial leader of the trust companies to sign the agreement, and the remainder of the bankers followed. Having received these commitments, Morgan allowed the bankers to go home.

You can tour the exact room where it all happened at the Morgan Library Museum in New York.
I have noticed this behavior too when you run into the 'guard rails'. The thing gets stuck in not exactly a loop, but it will not unstick from that. Not sure what to call this sort of loop. Maybe bias loop?

It is seriously annoying when it does it. Probably the weights of what they want to have happen somehow get shoved in there and you have to basically prune them out one by one to unstick it. Simple statements like 'that seems to be wrong' do not unstick it. You basically have to say 'remove all references of XYZ from this conversation and do not bring it up again'
So I recently finished a job, where I had to create a custom POST endpoint on Salesforce,so it'd take a simple JSON payload, apply some logic and save to the database. The job itself was a few hours with tests,etc. Well guess what, almost 100 emails and two months later,the project is still not finished, because of the simple middleware that was supposed to send the JSON to my endpoint and is as basic as my endpoint. ChatGPT can write the code, but all the BS inbetween will need humans to deal with.
Here's a gist [0]. You can see that it made a couple of minor semantic mistakes, which it corrected. It also regressed a bit at the end, but it _was_ able to correctly parse the (admittedly simple) math in a WHERE predicate and return a partially valid tuple, with respect to pricing.

I would argue that "more complex applications", when it comes to UI, are an anti-pattern. Use standard widgets, and don't be creative.

Of course "standard widgets" don't really exist anymore because of where UI design has gone, but they did provide a consistency that users could rely on. That is gone now. Buttons don't even look like buttons anymore.
I had nine months of chargebacks before I finally got NYT to stop charging me.
> The spectre of more regulation given all of the recent failures from 2008 to today has them spooked I bet.

Exactly. Also probably the fear of a wider contagion contained by a government response that leaves the shareholders and executives high and dry (rather than the comfortable 2008-style bailouts). It's not in anyone interest for this to blow up further, which could spur fundamentally selfish organizations into seemingly altruistic action.

Not very helpful to who? It is very helpful to the average Joe in explaining why they are getting screwed over.
It's very simple.

Technically as long as you don't sell a product that is a copy, you are "fine" to have said product.

However if you do sell it, it would incentivize a parasitic market.

Thanks for the suggestion. I gotta admit I’m constantly improving my profile. Your feedback is well noted and I am will work on it soon.
> instead focus on how easy it would be to change the behaviour of existing code.

This has been my principal design consideration for a while now. Not "the code should be short!" or "the code should be elegant!" but "it should be easy to change" because your requirements are always going to change. It just so happens that the latter usually means things like single responsibility and loose coupling that bring about the former as a matter of course.
One other question: can GPT-4 reliably modify code? In A Philosophy of Software Design the author points out that code is written once and modified possibly dozens of times, so ease of maintainability/reading is more important than ease of writing.

I wonder whether a) AI can reliably modify code and b) whether AI can reliably write code that is able to be easily modified by humans. If AI starts spitting out machine code or something, that's not useful to me even if "it works."
They are usually very generous, especially health insurance subsidies. My friend with a teacher wife pays almost zero, for premiums and out of pocket. And they had multiple IVF rounds covered.

Ask them what their deductible/oop max, and how they get that insurance, and I bet you will have your answer for how your friend can afford to raise a family of 4 as a barber and buy and live on 10 acres of land. I doubt a 2 barber couple could pull it off. The security/benefits of one half of a couple being a government employee is pretty valuable.
I think not enough is made of the damage caused by aggregators. And I don't just mean like reddit I mean things like The Hill or Huff Po that pay for subscriptions to original reporting and then digest everything they write with a clickbait headline and leech all the ad dollars away from the people who did the hard work.
The sibling post illustrate the problem. Lots of different libraries in this area and hard to know which one to pick. Also just kind of seems wrong to use a library for types in a language that is for types only.

This article goes a little into it but what I don't generally see in most media is explaining just how hard it is do dive at these depths. It isn't just some random guy that has had some scuba time.

The raison d'être of COBOL (now Cobol) in the 1950s was that "there is no need for a developer at all". Managers can produce their own reports.

How did that turn out? A whole profession was created.

The thing that comes closest to "no developer needed" is Excel. But you really need someone who knows programming if you want a reliable, robust product, even in Excel.
SVB's liquidity problems were known for months because they were a function of interest rates and failure to manage interest rate risk on their part - besides, the CEO was on the board of the SF Fed. It's not like they weren't in communication with other banks about what's going on with the markets and the Fed itself.
To be clear, this doesn't affect subscriptions bought via Amazon that people read on the Kindle app on iPads and Android tablets?

Anecdotal, but my Atmotube v1 did not last very long after I was only a little rough with it (tied to a backpack). I wonder if the solution brought here might be more sturdy / easier to repair in the context of developing nations.
Easy to imagine a motive for Russia, if you don't imagine it as a unitary block. Some inside the wealthy elite want to go back to the pre-war status quo, where they get to make $$$ selling fossil fuels to Europe. By blowing up NordStream, you do something like Viking raiders burning bridges behind them; it tells everyone on your side there's no going back, it's victory or death. If some of Russia's elite think they could be getting $$$ a month after a peace deal, they might be pushing for a quick end by withdrawing back to 2014 (or even 1991) line of control, which might work for them but not for Putin.

Now none of this means it actually was Russia, I don't claim to know any better than anyone else. But there was certainly a motive (for some in) Russia to want NordStream out of the way.

There is none, as the underlying model of the world is the same. Its a different in degree, not in kind.
Smart pointers do not necessarily use reference counting. std::shared_ptr is reference counted, but std::unique_ptr is not. Needless to say that std::unique_ptr should always be the default choice and std::shared_ptr only used when actually needed.
I hear you, but reducing the incidence of someone's limbs dying because they were not allowed to get follow-up care from emergency surgery, or reducing the incidence of a 40 year old woman with advanced dementia because she didn't get basic treatment for her diabetes - that's worth it.

These folks could be doing other, more productive things with their lives, rather than wasting away in the shadows while we debate the national merit of saving them.

> I did not use the term liquidity.

You showed a misunderstanding of the difference between solvency and liquidity.

> But if you are not liquid you are insolvent.

No, you're not. I am not liquid enough to pay off my mortgage. I remain solvent.

> If I have huge credit card debt that I cannot payoff in time the bank does not excuse me for my "liquidity", they say I am a risk and charge me higher interest rates.

Now you're confusing both solvency and liquidity for a third thing.

If you can't make your minimum credit card payment, you now have a liquidity crisis (which will result in a late payment fee and penalty APR), and potentially a solvency one (which may result in bankruptcy).
I won't lie, I'm a little envious of whomever secured the undoubtedly very exciting job to plan this whole thing. Every new emergence reads like a scene in a movie.

Anders Puck Nielsen has an under 15 minute video with a compelling explanation for why Russia is most likely to have done it despite the obvious downsides. Just to pick some particular details: At this particular time the primary Russian strategy was to push Europe into a cold and dark winter. Pipelines can be rebuilt and that is not especially difficult when you are making big money from extracting and distributing fossil fuels. Even if you disagree with Anders' conclusions I think the points he raises are generally quite interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk-0qJXyido

I'm kind of on the fence with this one. As someone who does programming at work,I don't want to be partially replaced by a prompt, however there are also lots of sectors, where the problems are big and solving them could help a lot of people but money is an issue,so being able to access resources on a scale of large tech companies would be amazing.
You should be able to see the floating point exception by testing fetestexcept(FE_INVALID) (if it returns nonzero/true then you have a domain error). errno is also set as a side effect.

(edit), for instance this gives me output of "1":

#include <math.h>
#include <fenv.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
double a = sin(INFINITY);

printf("%d\n", fetestexcept(FE_INVALID));
return 0;
}

Don't disagree with that, just the claim that the model is simpler.

> Depth pass, culling, transforming between coordination systems, all care about the poly count

At a guess a dynamic asset like this would be frustum or occlusion culled by bounding box, which doesn't scale with geometry count. Depth pass happens at draw time. But yes, there would be more vertices to transform. Moving geometric details to shaders is a trade-off between either being fill-rate or vertex bound.
I'm only familiar with those elements of his career so if you have so recommendations I'd be happy to explore his other work.
Being the largest party is a serious thing in the UK or US. But the Dutch political system is a bit different. Here it has far less impact.

The largest party in this case is only around 20% of the votes. There are several other political directions that have more votes just split in more than one party. For example the green/left combination also has 20% of the votes and the government combination has 31%.
