Or I can easily look at the situation and see that it costs way more than just hosting on prem, you don't have to actually try something to estimate costs
Tend to agree with this take according to what I'm seeing while currently interviewing. Not as many sexy tech jobs in cool startups, but still plenty of boring jobs in banking/fintech, insurance, enterprise, etc.

Harder than C++? Harder to use than C?

Above is a question, not a snark. I like learning languages and haven’t dabbled in Rust so am curious.
No, the bonds are worth something, and the losses can narrow by a lot if they're allowed to hold to maturity, deposit interest rates rise slowly enough and if broad interest rates drop some time on the future. The risk that they can't narrow is indeed real and whether to backstop that is a source of contention here.
Interesting using observability frameworks for testing - sort of a 'shift-left observability'

Are you able to use the same prod monitoring setup as integration test time? Or does it require any differences in setup?
I can't say I understand what will become of things if those investors go belly up, but I can't say I have any sympathy for investors who've made the housing crisis worse.

> I'd add to your list: No stress of driving in traffic. Imagine your ride home is pleasant personal time and exercise in the fresh air, not cars honking in a standstill in traffic. You feel better after riding.

I imagine you have never cycled across London during peak hours, depending on the day some of the most nerve shredding cycling you can imagine; some of the angriest motorists in the world running people off the road (even squeezing me into the curb in a cycle lane, before threatening to kill me after I knocked on the back of his van) in their metal boxes completely oblivious to safe driving around cyclists and how defensive you have to be to be seen and yes sometimes get in the way of vehicles. Once some moron on the Kings road swings the door of his Lexus into the road (only cars exist right?) and I career into the opposite lane managing to just about stay on my bike and avoid the on rushing car beeping his horn at me as if I was cycling on the wrong side of the road deliberately. A near death experience I'd say.

But yes cycling can be relaxing on occasion, just not on the roads motorists use and not in London during rush hour.

I have to say having cycled across France the motorists there are absolutely amazing and give you loads of space when overtaking.

That’s a feature not a bug. Just because they work with the DA doesn’t mean they should be all buddy-buddy.
But isn't just paying for a service like OpenAI relatively inexpensive and already nicely set up?

Sure, but OpenAI is never going to offer you a raw product. Their offerings will always be the heavily restricted, corporatized product they offer now. That works for many, maybe most, people but there's definitely a market for a "power to the users" LLM AI with no rules.
So why didn't they do it a year ago? Or two years ago, or three? It would have increased profitability at that time, too. How did dozens of already-profitable companies all suddenly decide together to cut costs within 6 months of each other? I wish they would be more specific than the "macroeconomic environment" excuse.

I swear these CEOs are like soccer players running around the pitch, just waiting for Mister Macroeconomic Environment to run near them so they can dive, clutching their calves, crying "impacted! impacted!"
Honest question, how is (in the case of SVB and Select) making sure depositors don’t lose money while the bank itself is closed and assets sold off, holders of it’s debt (those who lent money to the bank), and those that owned the stock all lose their investments?

I understand the 2008 bailouts were actually giving money to the banks that were/are deemed “too big to fail” and allowing them to more or less operate as if nothing had happened (outside of regulation changes), which seems on its face inflationary. But that’s not happened in this case, correct?

Again, honest question if I seem to be missing something.

The Frustration of Cars
I don't doubt that; I think my issue is centred around reliability and outputs though, not outputs alone. If it was more reliable I don't think I'd be concerned at all. Having so many outages and limitations makes me hesitant to support the company if this is what we're in for, if that makes sense.

I also believe we're in a sort of training phase, both for GPT as well as its users. As such, we're giving the engineers are time and efforts in order for them to improve the product in essential ways – not only getting benefits from its outputs. I see that as a good reason for it to be as discounted as it is at the moment, but I don't feel like it's acceptable for the service itself to be so intermittent.

I fully expect the price of successful AI products to scale with how useful and essential there are; I know $20 is intro pricing. I suspect we will begin to see highly specialized models pricing orders of magnitude higher in the coming years.
Moved from a city of 1M (Ottawa) to a town of 12K (Arnprior) about 30-40 minutes away, depending on how you count.

Pluses: quiet; know my neighbours (not everyone will consider that a plus); most walks with the dog take me into real country (depends on the direction we take); best Internet of any of my colleagues during video calls (newer infrastructure, I guess); driving is far less stressful (I WFH, so I don’t drive as much, either); chatting with cashiers, bank tellers, pharmacists, etc., and no one is fussed; people just aren’t as fussed and impatient.

Cons: grocery store doesn’t always get the specials (they are advertised, they just don’t get any); hospital sorta sucks (long story); wine store doesn’t get the really good stuff (only those who understand LCBO Vintage Releases will get that).

Neutral: family is 30-40 minutes away (they were almost that anyway, mostly, but now it is a more enjoyable drive); the symphony and most theatre is much further away, but I find I feel less need for them; gas is cheaper, but I use less on the highway, but I drive less; pretty much the same level of choices for dining, except at the highest end.
I ain't saying that the data/metrics need to be complete. I'm saying that the data's/metrics' incompleteness ought to be transparently documented if one expects to gain any useful insights from them or from conclusions derived from them.
I might be safer than you think. I used to refuse to ride in a city because it seemed dangerous and many people I knew who rode in traffic had been in accidents with cars. But when I ended up on a bike trying it out, I found I could almost always (~95% of the time) avoid traffic, even without bike lanes.

Side streets and alleys are great - too slow for cars, but you're probably cycling at 10-15 mph, which is fine. Parks can be great - a shortcut with no cars and beautiful scenery, while the cars have to go the long way. Campuses, plazas, etc. etc. Even sidewalks when empty or nearly-empty can work to bypass traffic or go the 'wrong' way.[0]

[0] Second to riding, cyclists love to lecture others on how to ride. And a favorite outlet for their obsession is sidewalks. They don't discuss or consider the reasons or merits, they just have found an easy outlet for self-righteousness and repeat the same phrases over and over. Just remember that sidewalks are for pedestrians first; you are a visitor. Give them the right of way always, let them know when you're behind them (e.g., 'on your left!'), and give them plenty of space (trying walking when a bike buzzes past in either direction - from behind, you can't even hear it coming). Defer to their safety, real and perceived. It's easy. No problems at all IME, except self-righteous people over-excited at an opportunity to lecture someone.

I was on a Japan Air flight about 10 years ago that had Street Fighter 2. It was on a crappy remote controller with vaguely SNES colored buttons. It was alright but your finger would inevitably slip and hit a game exiting button by mistake.

Still, it’s got to the be the most niche SF2 port ever made. Probably easy openings for the top spot.
>Have you considered what was the dynamic between them?

I don't think we need to speculate about the details of the individual case. In general the OP is absolutely right. In the West we by and large treat the elderly like burdens, or even worse, disposable. I moved from Germany to Japan shortly before the pandemic and the difference in respect for the elderly and their safety during that time was considerable.

If you haven't played pinball in a while, you'd burn through quarters pretty quickly. They're not a quarter per play anymore, it's usually 50¢ to 75¢ for older games and $1/play for anything from the 1990's or newer.
No. Contagion is so far limited. Economy is still doing relatively well and inflation is still hot. BTFP is arguably QE-lite and has reversed some QT as far as I can tell. When we crash you won't need to ask if we're crashing. It will be obvious.

China reopening trade has been softer than expected so far, but could still put pressure on commodities. Honestly the market is very confused right now. The bond market is saying recession(see rates dropping/curve steepening). The stock market is saying everything is more or less fine. Gold is up, but maybe because of dollar weakness and lack of faith in the fed to maintain a strong dollar.

The upper half of Americans really haven't felt enough pain yet. They still have plenty of money and are keeping demand high. I fully expect us to crash, but I don't think the bank crisis is more than a waypoint on a journey that started with the first rate hike(and, arguably, 2008).

Re: BTFP. It seems like QE-lite to me because banks were sitting on underwater assets that can now be used as collateral at full PAR value meaning the banks can reanimate these dead investments and put that money to work. I would love to be proven wrong but after going back and forth this is my current understanding.

Also, this is HN. Don't expect a high degree of accuracy on economic predictions here. Economics is hard. Even the fed and all of their PhDs can't get it right.

I think there are a lot of unknown risks out there now. Banks at least have the FDIC, the treasury and the fed(at least if you're big enough to present a systemic risk). There are non-bank lenders and other parties in our grossly complex financial system that are also under stress and could be the catalyst for major reversion soon.

There's some really cool work being done using Zero Knowledge proofs to write a succinct proof that output from a given model is correct. This is going to be increasingly important not just for these types of distributed systems, but even for things like ChatGPT to make sure that you're actually getting results from the model that you're paying to use.

Imagine a world where OpenAI or some other large API provider gets taken over by someone who wants to make money, so they start quietly using smaller, weaker models to respond to API calls, even for customers who are paying for the highest end model. Maybe this is just done at first to survive under massive load, but then someone realizes how many millions of dollars they can save by just forgetting to switch back to the more expensive models.

Here's a great primer: https://0xparc.org/blog/zk-mnist

I did not say anything about anything having to be free.

Since you brought it up. No, they are not free. We have to pay for them. My point is that I should be able to own my paid-off home. The government should not be able to take my property away because of taxes.

Payment for the services you mention should have no connection to home ownership. Everyone uses them. Everyone pays for them equally (with some consideration for low income individuals).

We need to stop thinking about taxing everything from farts to homes to pay for the running of society. Send everyone a bill on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. We all pay for it. Don't tax my farts.
Most American incorporated cities are subject to zoning. In the US, most zoning codes define the following: minimum setbacks (how far from the edge of the lot the building line begins at, aka the buffer between the home and the street for residential zones), minimum lot sizes (what's the minimum size a lot can be parceled out into), and maximum FARs (Floor-to-Area ratios, the maximum amount of floor space buildable in a given area.) This is true in most zoning codes across Residential, Industrial, Agricultural, Commercial, and other zones.

The "suburbs" are generally Single Family Home (SFH) zoned areas (the name of the zone differs per-city) defined by a requirement to have a single dwelling, a large minimum lot size, large setbacks, and low maximum FARs. Nothing mandates that SFH zones need to be adjacent to agricultural areas. In fact most zoning codes detail a long list of uses allowed within the zone and a buffer between zones. For example, most zoning codes require a larger buffer between industrial or agricultural zones and residential zones. By definition how much "closer to the rural area" suburbs are is defined purely by how much SFH housing there is, nothing more.

The reason why most US suburbs abut dense inner cities is that historical US city development occurred densely before the automobile and then postwar development happened according to zoning codes which carved most new residential areas into SFH zoned areas. Cities were grandfathered into the new zoning codes. The codes themselves developed slowly and only started mandating huge minimum lot sizes in the last 30 years or so. This is why suburban development tends to form around a city.
Might as well shake a magic 8 ball, nobody knows and 99% of the people who end up being right are just lucky.

Certainly not much point in asking on HN. If your question isn’t tech related then you aren’t going to get better answers here than you would on Reddit, Quora, Facebook, or your local pub.
Interesting. It doesn't strike me as an especially airtight argument; I'm sure lots of people had time to read during lockdown and some chose to pay for books. It's challenging to prove the counterfactual one way or the other.

But that's why they hired lawyers and I'm merely a logician.
Teens typically stay up later than parents who stay up later than grandparents. And babies tend to use a 2-3 hour feed cycle which necessitates mom at the minimum to be somewhat awake. There seems to be evolutionary reasons for this (probably to prevent predation). Interesting some schools and I think California in general has introduced a later start time for teens because of this biology.

So it is staggered in general.

How was Credit Suisse bailed out? It seems like they were closed and sold, as happens with a bank that fails.

Bailouts, by 2008 standards, would have been giving money to Credit Suisse so they could continue operating and avoid the fallout of their bad choices.

How reliable has it been for you? After struggling with langchain & GPT4 I was planning to try your lib next before maybe writing my own - I plan to make a super generalized version so that my bot can code itself, so might have to pull out some tricks. (Before I got api access I got ChatGPT4 to do this - just not with a proper ReAct pattern - via a tampermonkey extension it wrote me…lol)

I'd like to think this is just a fad (like Blockchain for instance) .. but there's such tangible application for LLMs that I think for once the hype is justified.
That seems like an affordable (and possibly equally-shared) way to contribute to the running costs of a society.

What happens if you don't pay this? Can they take your home away and sell it? They can do that in the US, BTW.

Thanks for the great read. Looking forward to delve more into the links you added.

Of the cuff, the common vs civil law issue seems more of a formal difference, rather than a difference in outcome. Interpretation of common laws changes over time as well. And what republic are the french on now? Fifth, sixth? I lost count somewhere in my own lifetime. Laws that need rewriting every generation or so or poor laws.

Anyways, appreciate the in-depth response and sources!
It seems like whenever a bank fails, there are custom rules as to what happens made up on the fly. In this case, surprisingly, bondholders were wiped out. Does this have long-term implications on how bankers will act? If so, what?

> Slick draggable scrolling is a key part of many screens in Delta’s in-flight entertainment system (complete with momentum-based flicks, over-scroll, page-snapping, etc). Because I didn’t have access to a component library and hadn’t thought to pre-install a good drag scroll library, I ended up having to build my own.

Shouldn’t have been using any drag scroll library. This is very strongly something that you should never do on the web, because it doesn’t have the right primitives to make it anything other than bad. Scrolljacking is always bad.

The proper solution is to just use normal scroll containers. Seriously.

That provides what you want for touch-based scrolling, without ruining click-and-drag or scroll-wheel or keyboard scrolling. It gets you your momentum-based flicks, leaves overscroll behaviour up to the user agent (which will be bounce on some platforms like Apple’s I believe, a glowing indicator on others like Android I believe, and nothing on some if you’ve also hidden the scrollbar with `scrollbar-width: none`), and you can use CSS Scroll Snap to control snapping if you want (though frankly I think it’s almost always better not to try to control that stuff).

The University I work for teaches Java in Programming I (the mandatory introductory language) for Computer Scientists, and teaches them some C in Programming II and then a functional language, typically Haskell, and potentially some Rust, Typescript, whatever by the third year as some of the students will be pursuing Theory. The Electronics students learn C at the beginning meanwhile. Students elsewhere in the university learn mostly Python and R.

I’m far from an expert but as I understand it the reference point isn’t so much the “real world” as it is the training data. If the model generates a strongly weighted association that isn’t in the data, and shouldn’t exist perhaps at all. I’d prefer a word like “superstition”, it seems more relatable.
You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back.

In general, I find that many fresh college folks (new hires and interns alike) struggle with Java streams. Streams and stream adjacent things like Optional remove a lot of tedium and footguns from older Java code styles, and unfortunately learning them tends to be a speed bump for anyone onboarding to the code base from college, because it’s just not covered, even in a Java algos course where I believe they’d be fairly relevant.
I'm a huge fan of langchain, so Yea if you want to just use this pattern try their agents, but if you want to better understand how it actually works, the blog post from simonw below includes a snippet that does it in a very small amount of simple code.
