This is really just unhelpful from them.

Bro this is residual investment for these banks, wake up.

This money is NADA, is part of a fund every bank saves for things like this, they are literally just burning cash with this movement because 30 billion alone isn't enough to cover for any of them, even them "small" ones like First Republic.

This is a political movement, in a time where these banks should be investing said "actual" money (another misnomer) in literally unfucking federal government gridlocks on systemic reforms.

Banks make hundreds of billions every year, for them to take 2.5 or 1b to fund whatever is literally part of the business, not even computed as loss since it can be classified as net cost avoidance if this money actually ends up helping systemic chaos because these things are way pricier than 30bn.

LOL, your analysis is literally made for children books, I'm not even scratching the surface here.

Show HN: Losetta – customizable scripting language that can be used from .NET
I developed this little interpreter because I wanted to implement scripting capabilities in my C# programs. Simply put, the language is similar to JavaScript and C#, and includes wrappers for the commonly used .

The project includes a variety of common grammars and APIs, most of which have not yet been tested. I am interested in how well this interpreter works in common usage.

Please give it a try!
With all due respect, that's a very narrow way of thinking. As I mentioned, I work in Compliance. I already have a degree and career, and simply want to add to that. So, to answer your question, no, not having a degree in engineering would not be worse. It's an option I voluntarily pursued by my own initiative.
That's a comforting perspective, I hope that you're right.
> 99% of the effort is NOT WRITING CODE

Writing code is still part of the job. In my company, I'd say it's still very roughly 50% of the job. If i can be a bit more efficient thanks to GPT, it's great. Actually, I already use it for writing simple things in language I'm not proficient with. Or how to improve a particular piece of code that I know can be rewritten in a more idiomatic way. It's not perfect, but I've found it useful.

It's not going to replace SWEs, but it's going to make us more productive.
I refuse to buy any car that replaces key physical controls with software. Of course, Tesla is off the list, but less because of design decisions and more because of Space Karen/Phoney Stark.
>2. What is the benefit of checkDaily over just calling/texting my elderly loved one? I assume that the USP is that I can easily forget about it and a machine cannot, right?

I personally have it reversed, i.e. it is the elderly (my mom in my case) that calls me in the morning.

One reason is that she needs to have her earing aids on to be able to use the telephone and it is much better when she is sitting comfortably than when (say) she is around the house or walking outside (or - as often happens - her line is busy as she is talking on the phone with someone else).

If I don't get her call by 10:30-11:00, I try calling her.

The "one touch reply SMS" idea is anyway a nice one.
This is true and not really relevant to the point that people who can't afford healthcare get very sick before they go to a doctor and then their care is more expensive and has worse outcomes.

One hospital was having so many resources consumed by a relatively small number of very ill homeless people and concluded that housing them would be cheaper and more effective, so it did.

Health care really shouldn't be used to mean medical care per se. And that's one of the things that complicates such discussions.

You are certainly referring to Han Solo's comment about the Kessel Run. But: they didn't measure time in parsecs - it was indeed a distance! The Kessel Run was in extremely difficult to navigate space and the Millenium Falcon could take a shorter route because of its robustness and its superior navigation computer.

That was part of the story of the "Solo" Star Wars movie.

There is plenty of ability to tweak AI images, I don't understand this objection.
The ViT paper has the details: project 16x16 groups of pixels through a learned embedding, combine with positional encoding, and feed to an attention layer.

It's delightful that this is practically identical to the NLP architecture with only the tiniest adaptive tweak!
Yes I get that, didn't quite understand why this switching of error message is relevant to the code...
As an intensely tech guy I completely despise the tendency that some engineers have to speak in ambigu-ese and tech-ese making less reacheable what the fr*eak they are talking about and establish themselves as "essential experts" when they could easily speak in normal-ese with minimal effort making concepts reachable for colleagues.

BTW this can happen to any field, not just tech. It can happen with intellectuals, philosophers, medical doctors, blockchain lingo, AI lingo, devops lingo, telecom lingo....

Fortunately! Now we have AI which is insanely good at summarizing and explanning anything like I'm 6y/o so that little expert trick just got massively nuked and has its days counted.

> One is the transparent intergration with COM

I think this is one of the things detractors of VB kinda miss. You could build quite sophisticated software to leverage COM/DCOM without needing to go full C/C++ and IDL.

The place I worked at built software that ran inside Microsoft Transaction Server (latterly COM+) to exploit distributed transactions.

And then there's the really "advanced" stuff you could do in VB as written about by Matthew Curland in his excellent book "Advanced Visual Basic 6: Power Techniques for Everyday Programs"[0]. Armed with a copy of Curland's book and Don Box's "Essential COM" you could be really dangerous :)

That's an interesting case and use of the word efficient.

Developer time reduced by 5X

When CPU cycles are cheap it's a logical tradeoff but it still grates against my sensibilities.

This is how linden labs used to represent user-created models in Second Life! you could just upload a .jpeg of your model geometry. Not sure if that happened in the vertex shader - probably not - but a similar idea
Nothing new there. Sequence modeling has been a major tool in the protein toolbox for a long time. Today we’ve got better tools though.
> I’m interested in knowing if the creation and maintenance of a personal website have lead to paid full/part time jobs, increased learning, brought new connections to others or are purely vanity.

My read of this was that it might've meant to frame the possibilities: "Exhaustively, is it for career development, or is it a moral failing?"

Additionally, "vanity" seems a bit loaded, shifting the perceived tone to possibly annoyed suspicious/accusatory, like maybe the writer suspects the answer to the implied either/or might be the latter category.

This read could be off, or maybe the writing hints at the writer's self-critical reflection on whether they should have a personal blog: when their only conscious goal would be career development, and they'd consider any other reason in themselves to be vanity, which they'd want to avoid?
Vuetify is back now, and I've really been enjoying it for a side project.
My blog made it much easier to connect with people in my field. I work in a smallish niche, so most content creators have heard of each other.

Additionally, the company related to my field (Oracle) invited me into their “knowledge sharing” program. This helps meeting other people and at most conferences, they invite us to dinner, which is nice.

Besides, people telling me how a blog post helped them achieve something makes me happy and proud.

That's good to hear. This definitely helped me understand everything a little bit better.
I got into and out of Bitcoin back in 2010 when I was still in high school. Even then, I thought and still do that crypto as a whole is a complete ponzi scheme with little real world utility.

I feel completely differently about LLMs; I'd say we're closer to 2007 when the first iPhone was released. I believe LLMs will become a part of our day to day lives at a level that crypto never came close to.
GitLab Auto DevOps and (now) GitLab Ultimate are definitely compelling differentiators that Github doesn't currently have, but I can't see Github just _not_ responding to that in a big way.
I remember the local library had these wood slat sticks they'd put the papers on, and you'd have today's paper on the top of this standing height desk, and the previous week or two would be underneath it; it was VERY nice for glancing at headlines or reading a page or two when passing by.
The Switch tends to be vertex bound and texture reads in the fragment shader are efficient. But YMMV, always profile.
There are two separate aspects.
1. moderation
2. ethics

Moderation is the technical aspect of getting the LLM to do what you want it to do. That is an indispensable aspect of the product. Without it, they cannot sell their model to any commercial business.

Ethics is the philosophical discussion on what the LLM should be do in controversial situations. This is of course also necessary research on a society wide level. But for a commercial company, it seems to me that going with the flow is the easiest approach. Otherwise, they would essentially be trying to instill new moral norms in society which would in itself be controversial. You also have to keep in mind that there are lots of twitter personalities that purposefully build a career around controversy. Ethics remains an indispensable study, in general, irrespective of whatever one singular individual said. Without ethics technological progress is blind. We want to be sure that we are improving the general well being of humanity, and not making it worse.
I’ve had a personal website of one kind or another since 1996. The current iteration was started in 2015, and was intended to get me writing again, and was focused on my travels when I became a digital nomad for 18 months at that time.

Since then, unfortunately, I have mostly let it stagnate. I use my site primarily as a mechanism to centerpoint other things I do online now, like photography, however I don’t create as much as I used to.

I am hopeful I will have time to write more in the future, but in some respects the topics I want to write about I have preferred to keep private, because if someone disagrees with you in the age of social media you face life-altering repercussions rather than an interesting dialogue. I still write at least monthly, but do so in a private journal by hand with pen and paper.

I mostly write because I believe writing is thinking, and because I tend to have fleeting thoughts I want to capture and if I don’t write them down they’ll simply disappear. When I first got into writing online, doing so always created interesting conversations. Now, that is much rarer, so that is likely another reason I publish less of what I write.
Not to mention gladiators i ancient rome, many of whom were paid very well...

You're quite right that this is a completely ridiculous argument.

A well paid slave, is still a slave.
> you should be concerned about the rate of progress

Kind of agree?

On the one hand we don't even have a roadmap toward reliable AI.

On the other, if we ever plug an LLM into something that has memory, acquires experiences, does experiments, observes the outcome and adjusts its worldview in response, consciousness might fall out of that. And writing good code might not even require consciousness.
Demanding human treatment in all circumstances constitutes a healthy outlook on life. Letting organizations get away with shady tactics should never be tolerated in any society. It may not change anything but it's still important for society to speak out against bad policies and bad decisions
Well, consider the source. These are the same people who withheld measly little GPT2 because it was too dangerous for the grubby masses. They profess to have all of this concern for the “safety” of their new technology, yet are simultaneously pouring rocket fuel on top of a wildfire of hype.

That's only because the supercomputer was designed around making it as good for the 'normal' person as possible. Sure it can do so so much more...but the user does not need to know a damn thing about how it works under the hood to use it. Even just making a note with an iPhone requires nearly every last stack of technology invented by man so that the user pressed 'notes' and taps letters on the screen. Custom silicon, 5G & server farms (for cloud backup to prevent knowing about physical storage), 1600nit OLED displays, advanced battery tech...all of it..for those letters to be there when you come back. Knowing a billion little things about computers to use them was always the key problem just like how you are not expected to wire up your lights and configure a circuit box every night in your home.
I think if you had a list of suspects, people in the area… if they could do the thing, you’re probably onto something.

We have seen this before, when bad derivatives trades threatened Long-Term Capital Management, a few years before Glass Steagall was repealed and banks with FDIC deposits were also allowed to take part in these sorts of risky financial activities.

>NARRATOR: After four days, the Fed acted, but not directly. The Wall Street banks were pressured to bail out LTCM themselves.

MICHAEL GREENBERGER: The government said, "It is our belief that your financial stability is in jeopardy. And the way to solve this problem is for you each to pony up $400 million and buy the fund, prevent it from collapsing, and try and work the thing out."

ROGER LOWENSTEIN: Fourteen banks agree to put a few hundred million each, about $3.5 billion total.

My website acts as a guide for my drawing progress (although I am still pretty bad, but will get better). I make a lot more YouTube videos. I do plan to publish articles, but I think videos do me a lot better. I think a blog is a requirement to have a map of my story. I try to post my YT videos on my website. Please take this advice, less is more. I like to use html pages and avoid managing a php website or anything more complex. I know it sounds weird, but I feel like the core of the web is a lot easier to maintain in the long term. Sorry to say, but I have not made a dollar with my blog.

Hi, I wrote the comment that you seem to be responding to, a comment that includes the phrase "Not saying the US didn't do it," so I'm not sure how that qualifies as "dismissed out of hand."

My point was that Hersh's article very strenuously avoids anything that makes Russia out to be anything other than an innocent victim, lining up exactly with what Russian ministers had already said in public. That is why I mentioned propaganda, it's hard to describe it any other way.

The US is full of propaganda, too, if that helps. We've got 24-hour news channels that pretend to be in opposition to each other but seem to somehow "report" in lock-step on a variety of subjects that exactly mirror official government statements, mostly involving the military.

The US might have done this. Russian might have done this. Someone else might have done this. But Hersh's article is poor reporting, and not something a determination should be based on. Which is too bad! Hersh used to be amazing. Not sure why he so missed the mark here.
