> Insuring unlimited amounts based on the whim of the fed while only charging insurance on the first 250k

The FDIC doesn’t charge insurance on only the amount of deposits covered by insurance. Prior to 2010, it did on all deposits, post 2010 under Dodd-Frank it expanded to all liabilities.

The problem here is simply closing issues that are not fixed because they're "stale", no reason to do this unless you're obsessed with keeping the number of open issues low to deceive people into believing no issues exist. Keeping issues open does not take any effort.

> A lot of people have been tricked into going to general education and liberal arts college programs (the finishing school parts) without the money to pay in full under the guise of "becoming a lifelong learner" or something

This rush for everybody to complete a college education arguably wasn't caused by some kind of natural cultural phenomenon, but was an artificial intervention in the employment market. The Supreme court case Griggs v. Duke Power Company was a landmark employment discrimination case decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1971. Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, high school diplomas and intelligence test scores such as IQ tests were judged to be no longer allowed to be used as prerequisites for employment.

In an environment where companies are scared of testing IQs and easily proving a job-seekers basic competency, it's easy to see how a "college degree" became the standard proxy for proving basic competency and somebody having the ability to be trained for a non-trivial job.

And as a society, that's been a jaw-droppingly awful trade. Rather than take maybe a few tests when you start to look for a white collar job: we've compelled all of of our youth to attend at least 4 years of education that they usually don't need (wasting 4 years of income-earning potential), and to go deep into debt as the basic standard of life. This has many unbelievably negative second order effects on the world, including drastic consequences for the most responsible people starting families.
My experience working at a bank during covid is that management is way more likely to fire the most competent person - who know everything about how and especially why stuff is done a certain way, who have all contacts at every level in both infra and cybersec teams, who push his team to stop working Friday afternoon to share what he knows - after he called their ideas dumb (with kinder words ofc) in person than on zoom.

This is a good thing, no?

More turnover among sr folks leads to a greater focus on (1) institutional risk management, because you can’t trust the new guys view things the same as the old, and (2) consistent reevaluation of previous assumptions, because the guy who made them is gone.

I’d argue the long tenure of sr bank employees is a weakness of the current system, not a strength.

I do not agree on the personification of evil (especially among Christians, who are whom I know). They believe there are persons who chose evil (the devil and his demons) but they are not the personification of evil.

As persons, their existence is somehow “sacred” and in some sense “good”. This is Aquinas’ explanation which I deem satisfactory for the time being.

One can commit oneself to evil but one cannot become “evil”.

As a consequence, even the devil deserves the benefit of the doubt, as Thomas More said. A human being, so much more.

We’ve already answered this question with the bailouts of SVB and Signature’s depositors. (Granted, not shareholders.)

Maybe a higher penalty rate for face-value borrowing? Or a limit to it, such that it serves as a canary?

> SVB had just shy of $20B in deposits

After the run. Before it had close to $200bn [1].

> really an issue that exists

It doesn’t, and that’s the problem.

The FDIC assesses a uniform charge on all of a bank’s liabilities. It’s clear some depositors pose a greater risk than others. I’m proposing differentiating the FDIC’s fee to incorporate that information, thereby encouraging banks to differentiate. Want to be a loosely-regulated community bank that can offer small depositors a higher rate because you aren’t paying to insure Peter Thiel? Great, now you can.

I had no particular desire to use TPM thus far, but you're right, searching briefly on this, it seems the tcscd daemon written by IBM provided by the "trousers" project does not seem to have any PAM integration. That said, presumably you could plug the 2 together (pam and tcscd) with some random script, right? Sure, that doesn't avoid the brute force scenario, but if it's just to store some ridiculously long random key so you don't have to type it in, it's not going to get brute forced anyway. (although in that case, why bother with the TPM?)

As for eliminating passwords, while I love the idea of hardware dongles, I'm always going to want to have a password on it.. I assume you mean eliminating having a ton of passwords as opposed to one good strong password on the dongle. But then, that's the same situation I'm in with the password managers anyway. It's not like I actually type my password into most websites anymore...

In addition to the nice biography about a superb scientist, I also found this interesting:

> Wu might have been hesitant to discuss evidence of entanglement because throughout the 1950s and 1960s, such quantum-foundations work was stigmatized as junk science. Back then, explains David Kaiser, a professor of physics and history of science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the idea of using an experiment to prove or disprove theories about quantum physics or to test for local hidden variables was “not even an inkling” for most physicists. Researchers who explored questions about entanglement often disguised their research because backlash could stymie a promising career.

I suspect their are similar things going on today, like astronomers who want to look for signs of intelligent life but packaging it as something more mundane
If the bank collapses, you get wiped out. Incentive for the banker is the same. Incentive for the depositor shifts assuming perfect information. But in practice, information asymmetry makes depositor preference insensitive to bank risk, regardless of insurance.

This would just be an acknowledgement “we’re always gonna have to do it for the big guys, might as well make it fair for the little guys too”
What you’re referring to here is “one shot” execution. The prompt given by managers is one that can be interpreted using context. This context can include current code, comms about what needs to be built, design assets available today, data, etc. Then the AI can ask questions to clarify what needs to be built.

What’s great is that you could also have AIs write tests - for performance or correctness. Then future prompts could rely on these tests to stay in the correctness bounds for existing projects.

Emulating cognition is almost limitless in what it can do once it gets sufficiently good. So good that it can operate itself. You could hire an AI founder and give them cognition and compute resources to solve any problem.

Here’s an example:

You: Build me a profitable company that uses AI generated content to entertain humans.

AI: How much can I spend on cognition and compute? How much time do I have?

You: I want you to spend at most $X before coming back to me. You have until Monday. Along the way I want to see your plan before we decide to execute. Spend at most 5% of that making the plan and 1% calculating its probability of success with confidence interval.

… within some small timescale

AI: Here’s my plan as a video with rough examples demonstrating the product and strategy. Here’s a table with our probability distribution of predicted success metrics and confidence intervals.

You: Plan approved you can spend the rest of the $X

… on Monday

AI: Done. We’ve made a profit of $Y, with total revenue so far of $Z. We have a plan for reinvesting these proceeds to make even greater future profit. Here’s a table of our expected success metrics based on reinvested amount. How much should we reinvest?

You: Reinvest 50% into perpetuity and deposit the remainder in my account. Book me a trip around the world using 25% of the current deposits with accommodations for my family.

Now go enjoy your life.

Why? Whether something has contributed meaningfully to my research is my decision, not Ole's. Not having light "hinders my science", so I'll be sure to cite Edison on all my papers.

I agree with the sibling commentator that Ole's behavior is jerkish. Not because he asked for citations, but that he misleads users by claiming his request is standard, when it is decidedly not. He also obfuscates the voluntary nature of his request as much as possible, to make it seem like citing is a legal requirement. And he is inflammatory in responding to people who make the perfectly valid decision to not cite him, or to patch the notice out.
Last time I checked, getting on an airplane was a private transaction between the airline and me. Either party can back out- the airline can refuse you as a customer, and I can no show. As far as I’m concerned, this isn’t so much about TSA per se, but me using the services of a for-profit company. If they want to demand that I do something, and I still want to use their services after stated , then I do the “something.” I don’t feel my rights are being trampled on here, at all. It’s really hard to go to Japan in a car.

> What my partner ends up with are the managers that cannot get a job in the better paying segment.

This observation is sort of downstream from the Baumol effect rather than the effect itself or more accurately when the effect is countered explicitly.

The core loop of the effect is when you need to pay a healthcare manager a ballpark similar salary when putting out a "for hire" ad to get applicants or alternatively hide the salary filter till much later in the interview sunk cost.

The problem is that you end up having the managers first apply for other jobs before getting to the low-paying job, so the initiators of the interaction (i.e "apply for jobs") sieve out before getting to the job that pays almost the same but needs less competence.

So you pay about as much, but get even less value for money than paying more.

When you put Baumol effect, Dutch Disease[1], Gale & Shapley[2] and the Market for Lemons[3] together, you get to see the job market from a lot of different angles in my immediate neighbourhood.

Silicon valley has a Dutch disease for math teachers for instance, but also the Baumol effect for the English staff. Not complaining about them, I'd like my kids to learn history, math and english from great teachers & don't want to do Kumon or whatever else the other kids are doing after school.

The way the schools try to fix it is by making the schools initiate hiring through temps and do extensive adjunct periods before any concept of tenure to work around the market for lemons (you can't hire a temp managing director, which is what's different there).

This really sucks for the good teachers who want to have a happy late 20s in the career they prefer.

Why don't you check it for yourself instead of down voting, or perhaps actually prove me wrong - my comments clearly stated this is anecdotal and "effectively"?

If you take a small pool individuals who discuss technical topics, and dilute it with more people it will trend down owing to the population IQ approaching the average of ~100.

Technical articles will also be less prevalent owing to the relative greater number of non technical topics and less interest in those that are.

It's not that technical people don't enjoy memes, it's that the wider populous won't enjoy esoteric technical or scientific articles.
Yes, I would agree to that.

It seems unfair to punish depositors that have zero or very low interest rates on their deposits. At the same time, it seems fair to punish depositors which were yeild chasing that 4.50% APY from SVB savings.
