I really don't see the market value thing as all that complicated. A banks liabilities are (roughly) instantaneous. They must honor withdrawals when they are requested, so their assets must be measured accordingly. There is no other reasonable definition of instanteous value except for market value. This is an extraordinary advantage of having large markets for things.

Granted, it's sometimes hard to establish market value. In the case of assets with genuinely low liquidity, the market value is somewhere above the bid and probably below the ask. Accounting in this case comes with error bars, but it's not really justifiable to approximate the value of an asset outside of this range.

Here's an example. Suppose a hypothetical bank receives 100 dollars in deposits at an interest rate of effectively 0. They use 85 dollars to buy a bond that matures in 1 year that pays 90 dollars, and keep 10 dollars in cash as reserve requirement. They pay themselves the extra 5 dollars as bonuses. They have met their fractional reserve requirements, and according to your scheme, their holdings should be valued at 100 dollars. Are they solvent?
Ellison was Bankman's principal co-conspirator, fully aware that Alameda was a bucket shop operating on money unlawfully borrowed from FTX customers, with privileged access to the exchange thus further defrauding customers, and a massive money black whole due to the trades she organized and supervised. This hemorrhaging of money bankrupted FTX in the end, not the occasional billion here and there borrowed by Bankman. Ellison couldn't have not known this state of affairs, yet she kept the lights on and most of her staff in the dark until the very last day when everything started crumbling around her.

She fully deserves to go to jail for a long time, but probably won't since she was smart enough to get the early worm in terms of deals with the prosecution.
That incident was obviously pretty damaging to us from a PR perspective, but it isn't really what killed us. It's not like no one ever used TB after that, even though it did reasonable damage to our brand (and for what it's worth, that kind of blowup really is damaging - we got asked about it during basically every one of the acquisition conversations we did at the end, so please don't think that PR backlash never matters! it absolutely does!).

We were simply never able to make the marketplace version of Triplebyte work after moving away from the transactional model we had in the early days. We tried some new tactics near the end that seemed to be bearing fruit, and I think in a world where tech hadn't crashed in mid to late 2022 we would have had a reasonable shot. But sometimes you find product-market fit right around the time the market goes sour. C'est la vie.

The reason we fell off the radar is that we'd been spending a lot of money on ads and stopped at around the time of that backlash (due to a change in business, not due to the backlash itself). Turns out you can boost your profile quite a bit when you're pouring a lot of your cash into ad campaigns! (Also, the physical ads wouldn't have made much sense since that pivot also coincided with all of us sitting in our tiny Bay Area apartments for the next year, lol.)
Well, that's specifically what they're saying they didn't do.
In regard to chemical weapons - no, I think that they are abondonware because they are ineffective. Something similar with bio weapons, they can backfire to your own population rather easily. Nuclear are their special case, but still their proliferation is extremely limited.
Might lose them audience & differentiation, depending on what's getting people to show up. Any change in tone or content would carry that risk (or, might improve it—hard to say until you try)
I guess that's what you normally do when you're overweighted that asset class and you must cover withdrawals!

No one actually needs anything - perhaps food and water but even survival is not strictly necessary.

The problem with “stuff we don’t need” arguments is they are fundamentally nihilistic.

So it would seem that going with the flow turned out to mean not going with Flow; how confusing![1]

I went with TypeScript early on because the compiler chain felt better integrated than the alternatives. No messing with chains of babel translators and source mappings; just use one tool. Maybe I liked the syntax better, also. Although as I recall, in the beginning, somebody my company interviewed had set up TypeScript using Babel, and it was all very over-my-head and impressive. He turned out to be too good to work for us, but some of his ideas really stuck with me.

The 7b model loads on a lot less than 8GB RAM, so you should be good to use it on an 8GB M1 Mac Mini. It takes very little time to set up, so it's worth trying to find out.
And because she's a juicy target for flipping on the rest of them. In the end she's going to make off much better than the rest, in all likelihood.

Generally, I think we're witnessing a logical progression to longer government mandated retirement ages. As society both ages, and lives longer there's a reality that the cost of maintaining these retirement possibilities is only increasing. Add to that a population thay doesn't reach the replacement rate.... Well it makes for fun times.

We could also rethink the value work. We're on the cusp of living in a post scarcity world - perhaps moreso in some countries than others. This reality may cancel out the other one.
That seems like an important feature request. I see TypeScript adding fancy stuff without fixing core limitations.
If the surgery is risky but the right thing, you might want people willing to take a risk in the belief they can do it and not ruin some success statistic. Might not be a "god complex" but quite a lot of confidence and ability not to panic.
Could you share what you did to convert the models? The mirrors aren't very reliable and it would be good to have it documented somewhere. There is some discussion about this at https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issues/172
Triplebyte made more sense as an internal tool for YC itself, from an efficiency perspective it makes sense to have a company like Triplebyte for vetting general programming skills and saving candidates and companies time by having a somewhat standardized level so neither party is wasting their time.

Their biggest issue was probably corporate politics, no HR org wants to hand over a huge chunk of their power and purpose within a company. Their business model also didn't fit a VC startup model, no real room for exponential revenue growth
Essentially all humans materially support atrocities and war crimes, and historically this has always been true. That certainly includes everyone paying taxes in any major country.

We have little choice about that, but we could also materially support efforts to end armed conflict.
Maybe it would be a lie if you said it, but you were saying that it's a lie if someone else says it. That's not necessarily true.
These kinds of stories were really motivating for all of us who worked here at the time, and they definitely soften the blow of the final result, at least for me (and I think for Ammon as well).
> Use this badge if your artwork, including digital and traditional art, contains less than 10% of AI output.

Isn’t this already a “made by AI” artwork?

And how much is 10%? If a traditional painter that uses photo reference starts using AI generated photorealistic imagery instead, is that more or less than 10%?
And you think this is a problem with political roots, right?
Totally agree. The idea that ideas/bits can be owned is a slippery slope with bad policy at the bottom. Maybe it was once necessary as a sort of training wheels for innovation, but it has long since become more of a drag than it's worth.

As someone who's generated many thousands of images on Midjourney, I agree.

People think they can waltz in and immediately get great results from using AI's to generate images... and they can, if they're lucky or if they copy somebody else's prompt.

It's a lot harder to do so consistently, or if you want your images to look both good and original, and not like mere copies of what everyone else is doing.
I'd say yes as the transcription is not transformative on the original, it's also possible to check whether it's identical or not.

Tell HN: Robocallers are now pretending to be live humans
I've gotten several marketing calls where the voice on the end sounded human. But if you ignore the question they ask and say something simple but unexpected, they aren't able to respond. ("What day is it?" "Prove to me that you're a live human. What's the first letter of that name you just gave me...")

I think one tactic is to bring in a live person, but then have them record (from a script) -- and then swap in those recorded responses at appropriate times. (That happened to me this morning -- but they kept playing the same recording.) What was especially frustrating about that was that they'd had them record the phrase "I AM a live person -- but I'm reading from a script." (And then they played that identical recording, twice in a row...)

Now that this is happening, I'm not sure what my response should be. (Don't answer the phone; take the call and waste their time; spread mass awareness and push for government regulations...?)
it's going to be really hard for me to find now after all these years but there's a video somewhere on YouTube of someone at a conference showing their first attempts at getting TypeScript to work with JSX involving lots of special comments that they would compile out with babel or something (it's been a few years, hopefully I remember that correctly). It was pretty extreme (and cool!).
> I don't understand the obsession with asking chat GPT with what it wants and suggesting that is somewhat indicative of the future.

It's also literally parroting our obsession back to us. It's constructing a response based on the paranoid flights of fancy it was trained on. We've trained a parrot to say "The parrots are conspiring against you!"
I understand that but this article[1] claims leaving iCloud messages on somehow allows them to have the key and thus access them. I have checked and I do in fact have iMessage backup checked. So it is likely they could in fact access them correct?

TypeScript tries to be sound too. It wouldn't really make sense to write a type checker if that wasn't your goal. As the person who wrote the "100% soundness is a non-goal" line in the design goals document, that's there to serve the same role as "Flow sometimes has to make a tradeoff" in the Flow docs in terms of clarifying whether or not 100% soundness is a design goal. For both projects, the answer is "no".

It's unfortunate that people have, over the years, decided that just being upfront about this fact means that TypeScript has a vastly different prioritization of soundness than Flow. We don't; both checkers use soundness as the default assumption when designing behavior.
I still do a 3-2-1 backup of documents with 2 versioned backups, one at home and one in another cloud provider, just like with photos.

The archive however is the recovery if I’m not able to retrieve my normal cloud copy (hacked, ransomware, loss of credentials, etc), I cannot access my local mirror copy (ransomware, dead disk, etc), I cannot access my local backup (dead disk, separate from the mirror disk), and I cannot access my cloud backup either.

For all of those things to go wrong a the same time, something major has to happen. Besides, where I live, most required documents (drivers license, passport, birth certificate, tax records, etc) exists in government databases, so all I have at home will be various documents that maybe have sentimental value, but not exactly needed.

Furthermore, documents change “frequently” where photos tend to be somewhat more static, so I can archive photos, and maybe get <10% “duplicates” due to later edits, archiving documents will pretty much be a lot of duplicates each year.

That being said, I think we have like 1GB documents in total, so it would be easy to fit in the archive.

From a quick glance this could be the missing piece for going all in on SQLite for small apps. Most plug-in admins only work with remotely accesible databases like Postgres.

How would that work, does Outerbase run locally on my server instance?

If it had some functionality for backups and a nice Auth story it could really be a good side project secret weapon.

> that partial pressure against the breathable air is of the same order of magnitude as breathable air against a vacuum. The engineering challenges are similar.

Those are very different engineering challenges. Separating similar pressure gas mixtures is question of porosity, but not force. Separating different pressures of the same gas mixture is not just a question of porosity, but you also need manage the forces created by the overall pressure differential.

Edit: If you take a helium balloon into space (or high enough in our atmosphere) it explodes rather than just slowly leaking and equalizing it's gas mixture with the atmosphere.

The PRC was allowed into the WTO on December 11th, 2001. Under the TRIPS Agreement, computer programs are protected as literary works, and per that same agreement, the general term of protection is 50 years and shorter terms may not be applied. There’s some stuff in there too about the life of the author, but basic no frills copyright: no fewer than 50 years. The first works covered by the GPL are not yet that old.

Yeah, the PRC is basically disregarding that, and yes, the Courts of WTO members are empowered under the TRIPS agreement to provide relief to the copyright holders. Start with Article 42 and work your way up. Chinese law doesn’t even enter into it, and under their political system, is explicitly “rules for thee but not for me” given that the CCP sits above the government and the law.
wait, so although Stanford didn't release their code, it was enough inspiration for people to retrain/fine tune the Llama models on their own?

As to the "better or not", read my previous comment(s).
Yes. And as long as this relationship only works in this direction, China has no incentive to cooperate. If Chinese citizens were also able to buy US products for cheap because they used Chinese tech while ignoring licenses, then China would care.

But they know this and are not interested in a partnership. So they took the other, more totalitarian route: make it illegal for their citizens to do that. They're not stupid though, they know that for a totalitarian govt to work they have to keep their citizens happy. So if their citizens are unhappy that they can't purchase a US product, they'll just spawn a Chinese company out of thin air to produce the same thing under a Chinese brand. If they can get away with it, they'll sell it outside China too. All of this is only possible because the west has already been manufacturing all its products over there for decades.

The west made itself incredibly vulnerable by moving all manufacturing to China, and now China is taking advantage of that in every way it can.

IMO the only way out of this mess is moving the vast majority of our manufacturing back out of China, but it would have to be heavily subsidized because people won't be able to afford it at first.
GPT-4 didn't learn the distinction between strong types and static typing. That makes sense as much writing also doesn't make the distinction. e.g. Python has strong types, can't add 1 + "2".
Some proprietary licenses are complicated, like oracle and vmware. But most of them you just pay and you're set. Even with those two it's still sort of like that. But even then they will just threat to audit and you could pay them off there as well.

But it's not like there is no market for bonds. You can calculate what they will be worth at maturity and sell them to people looking for shorter term bonds. Yes they're getting a bad deal thanks to the Fed, but that's life.

It will be a loss for the bank, but that seems better than total collapse. Banks are ultimately companies that take calculated risk to make money, if you can't afford to take an occasional loss then you shouldn't be in a risk based business.

Because when the feds go after her, she is strongly incentivized to flip, and cooperate in kicking the stool out from under SBF.

And because 6 million is big enough of a fraud that you can do a decade for it in Club Fed all on its own. If that were the only fraud that took place with FTX, she'd still deserve to be fully investigated and prosecuted for it.

A willingness to cause suffering to an entity with human sentience and cognition and understanding is by definition the same as willingness to cause suffering to a human that merely happens to look different than you, so to me that passage reads very obviously as good old… nazism? something a slaveowner could get behind?

Didn't notice there were no sources in the repository, but yes, try again!
This was fairly early days (I want to say early 2016?), so its fuzzy now (and pre VS code going mainstream which has lowered TS friction pretty significantly) but I think a lot of it was a fairly basic pros/cons list with a lot of reading peoples opinions of using each technology. I think my ultimate reason was that Flow was comment-based and so was technically more "rip out"-able if I changed my mind later.

EDIT: oh, also as someone else mentioned it was a React project, so I'm sure that played a part.
