Thank you for your balanced view! I will definitely learn the language and visit the place a few times before I consider moving anywhere :)
That's neat.

In the biplane era, there were some very short takeoff aircraft. The tiny Sperry Messenger [1] was a good example. In the 1920s, Sperry once landed one of those in front of the U.S. Capitol. (This was not considered a security incident at the time.)

That's a well-executed 1920s vision of a flying car.

Normally I would agree but not in this case. There's plenty of context in the thread, readers are smart enough to figure it out, and adamgordonbell is right: the talk, and the speaker, deserve better.

You're right that titles dominate discussion though. That's one of the most reliable phenomena on HN, for better or worse.
If all deposits were be covered then I doubt there would have been a run at all.

But, Banks pay for FDIC Insurance, the money has to come from somewhere. Either the Tax Payers will pay via higher fees or interest rates to the Banks or via higher Taxes to the Fed.

All this means is people with large deposits will be covered directly by the Tax Payer, it is just a matter of who we pay.
Exactly, plus all 3 comments assumed I talked about my input into the computer, while I talked about how much info I can take into my brain from the computer being already too fast, who cares if it takes me 2 seconds to write a sentence I thought about for a minute or instantly, the thinking will always be slower and the reading is fast enough as is.

The issue facing us is on a genetic level, most people are too dumb to even profit from the current input/output speed, let alone making x4 faster.
While I appreciate the subject matter, I think ignoring the prior art of checklist design and human factors engineering is a big oversight. I don’t know enough about either field to know what tools they are using in the process of designing instruction manuals, time critical check lists, or diagnostic and troubleshooting guides, but I imagine that would be a very good place to start. I will say though that bringing analog checklists into a multimedia world is an intriguing direction, since being able to access an expanded checklist that enables you to see details, infographics, etc when you want to dive into a specific step while also allowing you to track your current place in a process would be pretty cool.
There are some signs new Australian PM Albanese has been quietly working to secure the release of Assange, but he is now a broken man after a decade of effective imprisonment and the last few years of torture. The deterrent effect against any would-be whistleblowers has been achieved.
I use ChatGPT (with this plugin https://github.com/dpayne/CodeGPT.nvim) pretty frequently. The output it produces requires a lot of massaging, but it is still faster than doing things from scratch.

What experience of your contradicts that?
Perhaps GPT can help us detect meaningless click bait.

It isn't by definition a problem that there are holes in coverage. People in the US live hugely far apart from each other because the government has paved far more roads than they should have. Bringing broadband to people in rural areas is hundreds of times more expensive than in urban areas because people are too far apart.
What about coding in two languages, one textual and one visual?

Or a single language that has both visual and textual components

Or a single language where each component can be viewed in textual or visual form (and edited in the form that makes most sense)
Yes, but I added what the GP says the keynote talk is actually about.

Baumol's effect doesn't make things more expensive, it makes them get cheaper at a slower rate than other things, so they only get more expensive relatively.
Cocos should have converted to shares, which would have probably doubled / trebbled / more the float, then the proceeds of the sale disbursed. Either way would have been ~10c in the dollar for all parties? Either way a CoCo is not the same product (from the perspective of a buyer) as it was assumed to be last week.

It does look a bit like they have just done the full cycle of insolvency to bankruptcy to selling off the pieces and distributing the proceeds in a 48 hour window. UBS are (effectively) not buying "Credit Suisse", they are buying the post bankruptcy assets (which somehow had a market cap of ~7bn at the close of market trading and Friday).

Obviously for a to-big-to-fail bank you cant go through all the steps.
Yes, I specifically mentioned the poles.

The other reply got the opposite response to you by leaving out one word, "And".

This is the problem people are having when they get correct responses. They cry out 'It reasons!'. They don't realize that just one word away was an incorrect response.

20% is probably a bit of an exaggeration. I wor in tech and worked in the regular industry prior. I would say my wage is about 20-30% less than my peers of the same level. I don't know anyone that works for a company that has a payband difference more than one sigma for each IC level.

Wow, straight off the deep end.
In my field, cheminformatics, we refer to it as "Tanimoto similarity" because it was (quoting Wikipedia) "independently formulated again by T. Tanimoto."

It's an odd set of linkages to get there. First, "Dr. David J. Rogers of the New York Botanical Gardens" proposed a problem to Tanimoto, who published the writeup in an internal IBM report in 1958. (I understand there was a lot of mathematical research in taxonomy at the time.) In 1960 Rogers and Tanimoto published an updated version in Science.

In 1973 Adamson and Bush at Sheffield University developed a method for the automatic classification of chemical structures. They tried Dice, phi, and Sneath as their comparison methods but not Tanimoto. In their updated 1975 publication write "Several coefficients have been proposed based on this criterion", with a list of citations, including the Rogers and Tanimoto paper as citation 14.

In 1986, Peter Willett at Sheffield revisits this work and finds that Tanimoto gives overall better results when applied to what are now called cheminformatics "fingerprints". He uses "Tanimoto", with no direct citation for the source of that definition.

This similarity method is easy to implement, and many organizations already have pre-computed fingerprints (they are used as pre-filters for graph queries), so the concept and nomenclature takes off almost immediately, with "Tanimoto" as the preferred named.

It's not until 1991 that can find a paper in my field referring to the earlier work by Jaccard (the paper uses "Tanimoto (Jaccard)").

I have found some papers in related fields (eg, in IR and mass spectra analysis) which reference Tanimoto similarity, but nothing to the extent that my field uses it.
Never seen this one before. Thanks for linking to it!
> In 1945, when the silence between the U.S. and China lifted, China was embroiled in a brutal civil war, and relatives cautioned against returning too soon. By 1949, the year Wu observed evidence of the criterion for entanglement, Mao Zedong had established communism in the People's Republic of China, and McCarthyism was ramping up in the U.S., making travel home nearly impossible. She never saw her family again.

This is tragic, but I can't help but think it would make it would make a heartbreaking movie, especially tied with her work on entanglement.

edit: To be fair, I think the article goes down this route as well

> Entanglement emerges from the most rigorous branches of mathematics and physics yet has poetic appeal. Abner Shimony, a philosopher and physicist, called it “passion at a distance.” Entanglement offers the wild notion that once certain particles or systems interact, they can no longer be described independently of one another.
Does anyone have any recent info on how that ranking works? We can gain 200 stars a day, and still have never been on the trending page, even within the C++ section, where projects gain ~15/day.
Exactly. People in this thread are perfectly happy to throw unknown heaps of other people's money at the problem until it is solved. And it's not like the government has a track record of efficiently spending money in the first place.
the ability to cast nil as a zero length array means there's no difference between a function that returns a zero length array and a function that returns nil (assuming some casting process takes place). It could be a subtle and annoying bug to track down the difference.
LLMs as they are now won't take over your job, but they are a herald for something in the future that could take your job. We aren't sure yet but the evidence is compelling enough that we need to consider the possibility.

I mean yeah sure it's cool that something can do all your work for you but as your boss, I wouldn't need you then would I? I mean this aspect of economic impact must be considered along with the convenient fact that it makes your job easier.

I also find it hard to see how you're unimpressed? I mean yeah it's not as "impressive" as a human but but it's certainly impressive in terms of progress and potential future progress given such results have never been seen before.
Wouldn't the same concerns apply to translations and AI generated snippits? They already ship those.
It's easy to focus on the blunders Tesla has made on FSD. It's late, it's not done, it's not level 5 (and it might never be), the naming and marketing implied level 5 capability, it's expensive, and the CEO lied about its roadmap for years. All of that is 100% true.

As bad as all that is, if you can manage to put all that aside it's 100% true that there is no other competing system in customers' hands like it.

The most recent beta build is impressive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpTGy2SKURM

Should you outfit your new Tesla with the FSD upgrade for $15,000? Hell to the no. At the same time, people who are early adopters who paid to get FSD and got on the beta program are getting a product that nobody else is offering.
> At market rates, it should cost the same as selling the bonds now.

You assume that the spread is zero and that there are actually buyers. But I might be wrong here, I don't know about the liquidity of these bonds.
> The 980 Pro had a bug in firmware causing the drive to just fail (enter read only mode) after a certain amount of time, this had been fixed for well over a year in firmware but many people didn't update their firmware

I literally just finished putting all the parts of my new build in my basket but haven't ordered it yet. I was going for a 980 Pro (for it seems reasonably priced)... If I buy brand new from Samsung, would you happen to know if I'll get a SSD with the latest firmware or would I need to apply the firmware update by myself?

FWIW I ran a 950 Pro when it came out (2015?), then a 970 Evo (which my wife is now using). I've been very happy with these NVMe M.2 SSDs.
Nobody said he claimed he was an inventor. I think we all agree that he was a pioneer, but not an inventor.

"pioneer != inventor"

"You have to show proof that he claimed he was an inventor!"

"Nobody said he claimed he was an inventor."
> The real 980 Pros have recently become notorious for premature degradation issues (resolved with a firmware upgrade that many users may not know to apply)

How does one find out if a particular 980 Pro needs firmware update or not?

You can get fired for stealing from the company. You can get fired for attacking a customer. I'm not talking about those things, I'm talking specifically about getting fired because of someone's psychology, even - especially - if that psychology is of the customer. And again, fascism here means something close to but not the same as fascism in a political context.

And from what I know, correct me if I'm wrong; usually if you don't have a job for some time you end up being homeless unless you have some support. Again I might be off the mark here.
AICommand: ChatGPT Integration with Unity Editor
Economics is basically the ideology of the upper class.. it is not a science, it is ideology.. I would suspect that this cost disease thing is driven in large part by modern monetary theory and increased liquidity through printing money, driving up asset prices and causing inflation by financial speculation.. the increase in asset prices such as housing causes the increase in wages.. the upper class would have us believe that the wage increase causes inflation. Maybe in the past but in the last 100 years or so and increasingly in the last 20 or so inflation and the cost disease that is basically described in this linked article above is probably driven mainly by inflation caused by asset price increases caused by financial speculation fueled by hyper liquidity...

Edit.. those who vote me down take a look at inflation before the rise of central banks.. yes of course there were periods of inflation but then they were followed by periods of deflation.. this evidence of that take a look at the wages for an average man from 1700s all the way through the early 1900s it was basically the same.. whoever wants to central banks came into play inflation crept upward and upward

This article is about women, but I believe the same relationship is seen (perhaps even more strongly) in men.

My cynical view is that healthier people are more likely to attract spouses - in other words, that causality runs in the other direction than the commentaries usually imply.
I think we will see a couple very big failures when AIs replace people and then we are back to employing people for many of these roles. I don't see any actual need for AIs in many cases, expert systems could do job better and more accurately. And that has been case for decades.
Wiping all banks‘ balance sheets might not achieve the redistribution you‘re hoping for, if you think a minute about what that would actually mean (i.e. everybody loses all of their savings, and nobody has to pay back their loans).

Besides that, the status quo emerges from the set of laws and regulations applied to banks. Removing the banks and keeping everything else unchanged is the best way to get an exact copy of the bad outcomes you‘re hoping to prevent.
What if the Internet developed anyway, but with many more services located outside the US jurisdiction?

Most developed countries in the world were toying with networks in the 1990s.
Most people who first used electricity thought it as fancy gas lights. And then, at the time computers started showing at home and then the Internet, most people didn't know what it is for.

I think it is safe to say most people have absolutely no idea what this is going to bring or how revolutionary it is going to be.

But I do think that most people will be worse after dust settles.

I know someone working as an architect in China and apparently his company holds onto his college degree. Hes concerned he won’t get it back if he doesn’t remain on good terms. I was told this is a common arrangement.

The ranking is mainly based on stock price action and the price-to-book ratio. The main "asset" of a bank is trust and the price action is a very good indicator that shows if investors still trust the bank.

My first intention was to mainly base my ranking on their balance sheet, but the balance sheet of SVB, Signature, Silvergate and Credit Suisse was average, it wasn't terrible (Many banks do much worse). In fact Moody's gave SVB an A rating.

What broke SVB,Signature and Silvergate's neck was their lack of diversification, their high exposure to crypto and tech startups and the bankrun that ensued when crypto collapsed and VC cut their funding.

Almost every bank can't sustain a bankrun. In the "cash equivalents % of total assets" column you can see how much of their assets the bank can actually let people quickly withdraw and it isn't that much.

Silvergate had 40% of their assets in cash equivalents, more than almost every bank, and they still failed.
I try to avoid Apple devices because of the artificial restrictions ... it almost feels like a mobile OS (which also has lots of artificial restrictions)
I think it's fairer to say that there was a rural demand for electricity, but that privately owned electricity grids saw no profit in meeting that demand. Electric appliance manufacturers did want to sell their product to people in rural areas, and they realized that if government built out the electrical grid, they'd benefit from it as would rural electricity consumers. That's why FDR's Rural Electricification programs were widely popular.

The only opponents were the electric power companies who realized they might lose their captive markets if the idea spread to the cities. Hence they started buying lots of politicians.

It wasn't flagged because of the Apple bit. I flagged and collapsed it because it was an offtopic distraction. I'm sure your intent was good but it's extremely easy for something like this to take over a thread, and indeed that was just what was happening.
ChatGPT 5 and very likely 6 are being trained as we speak. They just need to close the loop so it can improve itself without supervision.

Right now, sure. But we are in the exponential upturn right now that will moderate into an S curve where the incremental improvements will slow and you will have a convergence of the large language models.
