Anyone had luck getting this going in GPT-4 yet? I tried a couple of the chat-specific agents in langchain a couple days ago but it seems like the extra chat RLHF makes GPT-3.5/4 stubborn about not wanting to write messages in the needed format. I could get it working some of the time, but it was really unreliable. Next up I’ll try Simonw’s (the G.O.A.T.) micro-lib for this.

Also, man, what an annoying context to see “As a language model I cannot…”.

I think there is still a pathway to things calming down, especially if FRB and other verticalized regional banks can make it over the next few weeks.

I suspect if things do go, it will be in CMBS. I don’t think office assets are being fairly marked-to-market right now and I want to better understand mortgage performance on office real estate. Subsequent derivatives likely explode this risk and how they are intertwined across private money is unclear.

I am also generally worried about normcore middle market, the diesel engine repair franchise, regional fast casual chain, etc…they are really getting squeezed from several angles. Best guess, the rapid reduction in fuel prices bought a temporary reprieve but that things are coming.

Forgot to comment on this. Yes, this is very dangerous and probably the biggest threat to our current stability. It's really getting out of hand and if there is no legal remedy, I'm afraid people will find their own, and it won't be good for anyone.

I think that's highly likely. Banks aim to maximize their profit margins and that necessarily means taking risks. When regulators close one loophole, banks find another one to exploit. This is a game of whack-a-mole that the regulators cannot hope to win.

SVB, Credit Suisse, and Signature Bank aren't outliers. These are just the first banks to get hit by the crisis. It's almost certain that most other banks have been playing exactly the same kinds of games and betting on a low interest rate environment. Now that the inflation has risen to unacceptable levels, the Fed has no choice but to raise rates. This will translate into further chaos in the banking system.

If the rates don't go up then we'll see inflation keep climbing, and this will cool investment because it's practically impossible for companies to produce any meaningful returns in high inflation environment. A company right now has to show consistent 6% growth simply not to lose money right now.

Furthermore, 64% of Americans are now living paycheck to paycheck [1]. 37% of people are working two full time jobs [2]. And typical debt is around 100k [3].

So, over half the population has no savings and can barely makes ends meet while nearly 40% of people are already working as much as humanely possible. If cost of living keeps climbing a huge chunk of population will become insolvent, we'll see large numbers of people defaulting on their debt. Banks are the ones who are holding a lot of this debt, and as people start defaulting the banks will start failing.

Meanwhile, overall economic activity will cool with people cutting discretionary spending in order to afford necessities. This will make companies go out of business creating mass unemployment, and further feeding into the debt crisis.

Incidentally, we're right on schedule for a crash in the boom/bust capitalist cycle [4].

Housing bubbles don't always burst (see: Australia)
Yes, it feels like it felt just before the 2008 crisis - I was looking into banks financial statements and it was pretty incredible feeling - like wow it can’t be that bad ! Markets didn’t start to tank yet, so you don’t know if you’re crazy or not.

Same here - there are bubble signs everywhere (SPACs, startup valuations, joke money called Dogecoin with market cap of 10B$ !), banks are sitting at >600B$ of unrealized losses - this is all public knowledge.

A 166 years old Swiss bank was bailed out this weekend.

So yeah, it definitely feels like a big crisis ahead. Gradually then suddenly !

I've been using Window Maker since the early 2000s whenever i use Linux. I have tried other window managers (including a long-ish stint with GNOME 2 back in late 2000s) but always end up going back to Window Maker.

Also occasionally i hack on a GUI toolkit in C that i use for a few utilities (mainly a music player and a filesystem browser) and i hope at some point to make it good enough to use as a backend for LCL/Lazarus. Here is an old shot with various example programs/tests and the two utilities i mentioned:

No. There is absolutely no comparison to the US banking system now and in 2008. In 2008, banks were 4 times more leveraged than they are now, because regulations are far stricter. The source of the crisis was a giant asset class — private residential mortgage-backed securities — whose risks had been systematically hidden by the banks that made them, and the ratings agencies who were complicit.

So, banks were very vulnerable on the one hand due to over leverage, and they all owned a lot of an asset class that became unpriceable once people realized what had happened.

There is nothing like that now. The big issue is unrealized losses on 2020-1 vintage Treasury and government-mortgage securities because of rising rates. The Fed backstopped that by letting banks borrow against the full value of the bonds, not the depreciated value. If those bonds go to expiration, they are paid back in full, and the unrealized losses never become realized.

This is a tempest in a teapot caused by a few babies on Sand Hill Road who decided to destroy SVB, and then whine all weekend to the government to save them. They are libertarians until it hurts the bottom line.

It would make perfect sense if macOS was already the go-to platform for 3D apps and games. Third-party developers would then have to port to Metal in order to keep their customer base, and their OpenGL backend would be abandoned or at least a second-class citizen. That could be a competitive advantage for Apple.

But macOS is not the go-to platform for this sort of thing, especially when it comes to games. This does seem like a strategic mistake. Maybe they just don't care, for whatever reason. I mean, it doesn't seem like Metal has been catastrophic for Apple, has it?

Then again, OpenGL is probably still good enough on macOS for most 3D apps, deprecated or not. And if Apple does decide to actually remove it, I believe there are projects that implement the OpenGL API on top of Metal (certainly with performance impact). And third-party developers certainly have the option to wait to write a Metal backend only after Apple announces OpenGL is being dropped completely.

I doubt this will be as contagious, plus the Fed is completely leaning into interventionism at this point. If only we could get Congress to do their part, we might avoid the crises in the first place.

There will still be a fair amount of pain to go around, but it won't be across the board like 2008.
> Could be a smallpox sample... also could be an old bag of used tongue depressors.

Yeah, no joke. I have boxes full of baggies with biohazard signs on them because I needed to do daily covid tests for work and each come with such a bag. I have so many of them that i was thinking about storing small parts and such in them.
It is easier to create the future than predicting it (just paraphrasing).

First, I think looking only at the economy is shortsighted: worldwide politics is broken: discussions that are not moving "civilization" forwards with the knowledge we have. For example, I see in the medical sector a lot of mala-praxis that is not connected with the state of art.

Now, returning to economics: I see more a shift than a big crisis. Politicians and regulator cannot put the dirt under the sofa and than needs a change.

I think power is a little bit more distributed and there could be someone with enough imagination somewhere.
> Why does there need to be a metric?

Ask Facebook.

> People with management experience can decide these things based on intuition. It's practically impossible to quantify anything in this industry, but 'data-driven decisionmaking' is fetishized to the extreme.

The answer to "it's practically impossible to quantify anything in this industry" is not "therefore we should just give up and rely on managerial intuition with zero accountability or measurement", but rather "therefore we should improve our ability to quantify things and pair that quantification and measurement with human judgment and oversight".

A normal residential building wouldn't have windowless apartments.

The implication in this article is that a single apartment was split up into multiple units to make more money on Airbnb. The windowless unit was one of them, and the occupant couldn't get into a space with windows and escape.

So in the old model you could:
1. pay for compute
2. charge the customers to pay for compute,

and now you can instead:
1. pay your customers to pay for compute
2. charge the customers to pay for the customers to pay for compute

Is there something I'm not understanding in the business logic of this?

Is it the fact that this would be running on computers that are essentially free, since it would just be like the desktop in someone's home office, so the infrastructure costs are already paid for (e.g. externalized)?

Or like would the value here be accessing the LLM service for 'free'? But isn't just paying for a service like OpenAI relatively inexpensive and already nicely set up?
Hackers may know the author of this blog as the creator of Urbit, that obscurantist 'operating system^W^W^W^W^W^W^W function' with its own little crypto scheme involved in its networking: https://urbit.org/

It has been discussed on HN before. The oldest discussions give you a sense of the 'flavor' it had when Yarvin was still closely involved in producing the code and documentation: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=urbit

As for the political philosophy, this was a pretty useful resource for contextualizing this whole world back in the day: https://slatestarcodex.com/2013/10/20/the-anti-reactionary-f...

Regular and historical readers of that blog will also recognize the pattern of intellectual presentation detailed in the following article as Yarvin pulling the 'motte and bailey': https://auth.jacobinmag.com/2022/12/curtis-yarvin-right-wing...

> Yarvin often calls himself a “monarchist.” If you catch him when he’s trying to sound reasonable, he’ll explain that all he means by that is we should have a much stronger presidency within the existing constitutional system. If he’s trying to be provocative, he’ll talk about finding a suitable Silicon Valley CEO to be the American “Augustus,” replacing our sclerotic republic with something new and glorious.

> The “provocative” mode is one he seems to have spent more time in than not since he started his Unqualified Reservations blog (under his old pen name “Mencius Moldbug”) in 2007. Before our debate in Chicago, he joked two or three times in my presence that the subject of our back-and-forth would be whether “it was really six million or more like five point five.”

That also gives a pretty good sense of the genre of his rhetoric: a dressed-up version of the standard haha-only-serious, ironic-until-it's-not fascism, complete with edgy jokes about holocaust denial.

This stuff was shocking and strange to me when I first discovered it via its connection to Urbit when I was in college, but my main takeaway after I came out of the rabbithole was that I wanted my time back. I guess this political philosophy 'movement' has some new relevancy now that it has been cited approvingly by a couple of nationally recognizable Republicans. Fair enough.

As someone who lived through the S&L crisis of the Middle Ages, the current agitation doesn't even rise to that level; so far there hasn't been an indication of widespread outright fraud perpetrated by bank execs. This seems more like a less favorable (i.e. less free money from the Fed) environment exposing a few banks with very poor/incompetent management.

This example is a full refresh, but incremental is usually the norm, especially for our supported connectors and continuous syncs. Our models can detect incremental columns.

Audit timestamps (usually tables) are typically created in intermediary stages (whose materializations you would have access to in your database) before getting pruned out to fit your destination schema. Of course, if the destination schema expects these audit tables or columns, they would be included in the target.

To your last question, if you include these tables or columns in the end schema you specify to Lume (or create a separate flow with a new end schema with these fields), what you described is definitely possible.

it's one of our greatest tragedies in the U.S. that the region most suited for walking/cycling/"active transit" is also the region completely obsessed with appearances and specifically with appearing like you just stepped out of the makeup trailer and onto the set for each scene. I honestly think that the social faux paux of looking like you might have been exercising, or exposed to wind, or the hair and clothing style limitations imposed by arriving via bicycle are major factors for SoCal, moreso than in many other parts of the country and world.

For ~6 years my wife and I lived in Santa Barbara without owning a car. We'd occasionally rent one to get out of town - there were a couple times I left my bike locked up at the airport for a long weekend.

I used to fantasize about making a documentary called "the disappearing bike" where you would video somebody cycling around town but every time the bike lane disappeared and then reappeared a quarter mile later, you'd show them just gliding across the street without their bicycle.

Even in SB, which has a much more chill attitude on the roads than anything south of Thousand Oaks (as you head into the LA metro area), some drivers would be bizarrely unsympathetic to the fact that you were traversing a short strip with no bike line in order to connect two bike lanes, with reactions ranging from honking, yelling, revving the engine to loudly pass, "buzzing" you by passing much too close, ... but I think it generally follows that rule that most of us are kind and some small constant percentage (5? 10%?) of the world is jerks.

Seriously, most professional careers come with obligation of avoiding even the appearance of impropriety.
Raising rates never really reduced inflation anyway… In the 70s Volcker shock, when the oil crisis eased the inflation came down of its own accord, and would have with or without the rate hikes (and the money supply was expanding when the inflation started coming down, which was the exact opposite of their theory - they were trying to reduce the money supply with their rate rises, which they thought would reduce inflation, but they were never able to hit their money supply targets anyway). The Volcker era should be remembered as nothing but a failure.

We saw this problem at the opposite end too - central banks around the world were trying for more than a decade to stimulate economies by dropping rates, many even to the point of taking them negative - and inflation remained stubbornly below the target…

So dropping rates hasn’t worked to stimulate, raising rates hasn’t worked to slow inflation… Why persist with the charade that adjusting rates is an effective policy?
Lots of false equivalence here.

> What cash back do you get on your credit card? 2.625%? High yield savings account? Money market fund? 4.6%?

None of these actions by me directly result in the loss of livelihood or uprooting of lives of other people.

If you told me that by moving my money to a high yield savings account, it would result in my friends or family members losing their jobs, you bet your ass I wouldn't do it, "personal profit" be damned, and that isn't a hard decision to make in the slightest.
