The FDIC and Fed made policy changes in response to the SVB's failure--the FDIC is insuring all the SVB's deposits, including those >$250k, and the Fed is allowing all banks to borrow more than the FMV against certain assets that lost value when interest rates increased.

Without these changes, the SVB's depositors would have had access to maybe 50% or more of their uninsured money immediately, and maybe 90% or more eventually. They'd maybe have been made whole eventually; but the FDIC's inability to find a buyer over the weekend suggests that the SVB's assets weren't obviously greater than its liabilities to depositors, so maybe not.

The SVB's depositors have been made whole now only because regulators intervened with emergency policy changes to rescue them. That might have been a good idea, since it stopped contagion; or it might have been a bad idea, since it encouraged future risk-taking in anticipation of a similar ad hoc rescue. It certainly wasn't any kind of rules-based system working, though.

The SVB had been insolvent on a mark-to-market or NPV basis since around September. Accounting rules on bonds they intended to hold to maturity allowed them to ignore that, but didn't change economic reality.
What about the predatory nature of the industry ? 18 year olds being hunted down to "act" in these pieces, mostly by older men who are just using these women for their own pleasure and financial benefits.

Is this okay ?
How would you do it, tree search? If yes, I tend to agree with your initial statement that one should be able to teach LLMs to apply simple heuristics before considering it AGI.
The government's responsibility is that the government passes the laws to censor things, not that it does the dirty work of actual censorship.

Censoring religion and political views is regarded as a violation of human rights, so while this is different, I do agree that it should be treated the same.

I agree with the need to protect people from bad influences, but the government is not the only entity that's capable of protecting. Traditionally, that role has also been fulfilled by the social network and the person in question themselves. I don't see the urge to shove it all off on the government, except in cases where the social network is failing to protect, e.g. in the cases of crime.

There's a balance to be hit between the ability to take risk and the negative consequences. Best example is personal vehicles which cause life changing consequences when they go wrong, sometimes ending lives altogether, and doing this reliably to thousands of people every year.

I've stopped buying cameras from Amazon 5y ago, when in Germany I mostly got used stuff (people using something 30 days and then sending it back is "used" to me, just as a car becomes used the first day you drive it, and the used car market shows in a price drop) sold as new. With fingerprints on lenses and all.

I got off prime sometimes later, and now need to jump through hurdles and find the small "No thank you I don't want free shipping" link everytime I buy something.
The people who want to ban porn also want to extinguish free culture. So I would say this is a feature, not a bug.

For anyone genuinely wondering why they don't do the implied thing and convert it to residential, the answer is that the San Francisco permitting process to build even as little as a single-family home on an unused lot can often require paying someone full-time to hassle the city government literally every single day for several years straight, and then if the NIMBYs persuade the board of supervisors against it the project gets denied anyway.

Show HN: Nousb.co – A seamless multi-platform ephemeral file transfer webapp
Key technical point is that it does NOT rely on webRTC, which is not reliable enough on all browsers, and there are important file system APIs (ie. `showSaveFilePicker`) that are missing on most browsers to do actual file transfers, without storing the whole file in RAM first.

The idea is to have something that is as multi-platform as possible, and can work on all browsers, even the embedded webviews in chat apps. And without app installation or account creation.

To test it with a common case, which is transferring between a smartphone and a laptop:

- Open https://NoUSB.co
- Click the "Share link" button.
- Scan the QR code with your phone or transfer the link to another computer.
- Drag and drop large files; they'll instantly appear on the other side, regardless of size.
- Click the download button on the receiving device.
- Click the "Boost this!" button to unlock more transfer speed.
- Close the tab and all sharing stop instantly

Multiple devices can join the same virtual drive and share their own files.

There's also a chat feature because if you click a sharing link from a messenger app, you will certainly end up trapped in their embedded webview with no way to get back to chat without disconnecting.

For more technical details: https://dev.to/stant/nousbco-yet-another-file-transfer-tool-...

Please test it and let me know how it went for you.
Thanks!

webRTC is actually implemented as an experimental feature, you'll need to add `&rtc=1` on both sides to enable it. Only chrome based browsers that implement `showSaveFilePicker` can be the downloading end.

Buying new furniture, with some exceptions, is a wasteful use of money.

Especially often wasteful is unrepairable, landfill-destined IKEA.

If you want durable furniture that retains value, invest in (likely used) fine furniture. In terms of usability, doesn't matter where it comes from, so long as it does its job. For resale value, brand matters unless an item is obviously well-crafted.

Durable goods are cheaper when not paying for initial depreciation.

There is an active searching for these credential leaks in the various repositoriues to then be used so this is an exploit. It shows intent, an organised way of searching for vulenrabilities and accomplishment of the task.
It's the equivalent of stalking the security guard and evasdroping on his public communications in the hope that he slips us and when drunken enough will reveal the passcode to the entrance door.

Anything external to the OS level is doomed anyway, from the security standpoint. APIs offered to the good guys can be misused by the bad guys. You see this with all those snakeoil virus scan offerings which dramatically increase attack surface (exploited regularly, but that's not what Symantec an friends are telling you).

Plus, anything external to OS level is easier to trick into not seeing what you are doing. And again, if sth external can install itself so deep into the OS that that's hard, then the bad guys can do that too and hide.

Can you link to instructions specific to the Mac. I can only find instructions for Alpaca with GPUs and PCs.
No as it's almost impossible to attribute these effect to porn as porn is too widely spread among women and men, and most of the "porn behavior" existed before that porn was universally consumed. Strangely most of these studies talked about men behavior when women consume a lot of porn.

This is the same kind of things you hear about gay, role playing games, metal music, video games, rap music that are all rotting the brain of young people.
Dogmatic and wrong but at least you said it with confidence.

This simplistic line of 'porn bad' is just the pretense for labeling anything out of line with your religion's prescribed morality as pornohrafic and therefore worthy of being expunged by violent means. This ideology never stops at videos containing nudity or sex but continues on to being directed at music, literature, women who don't cover their heads, Transgender people, and so on.

It's the exact justification currently used by conservative turbo-karens to ban books from public libraries that contain any trace if LGBTQIA+ content, histories that acknowledge the slave trade and racism, or even basic health information about periods.
I think many have lost the main point of this post: 37signals seems to be a successful tech company, and their employees are having fun.

Very few tech companies can say that. So, it doesn't really matter if they ditch k8s for their own solution. Really, it doesn't.
Also who defines 'porn'. Is porn any photo that shows nudity, or where do you draw the line on vanilla videos vs more extreme.

You might end up with devices blocking all photos of a woman topless, or naked men, even art. Does Michelangelo's David statue get his privates covered or blocked? Or like in China where they increasing block things like picture/videos of women eating bananas as that is taken as sexual (and to be fair some steamers were knowingly doing as so).

Obviously there is reasonable ground in these discussions, but when it comes to censorship the best overall position is government should stay out as much as possible. History shows human nature, or the people attracted to powerful positions, seems to not play well in these spaces over time.
Apparently the horse 'knew' the right answer by inferring from the questioner's behaviour: "Pfungst (the debunker) then examined the behaviour of the questioner in detail, and showed that as the horse's taps approached the right answer, the questioner's posture and facial expression changed in ways that were consistent with an increase in tension, which was released when the horse made the final, correct tap. This provided a cue that the horse could use to tell it to stop tapping." [1] However, there are gene regulatory networks that can actually count up to 3, with the mechanism of counting up to 2 being curiously different than the one for counting up to 3. [2]

"Every intelligence test is also a test of the questioner" [3]: we don't regard a simple liver cell as intelligent, yet it performs a complex task in a large problem space.

I agree with you totally, it makes no sense to give under 10 year olds smart phones.
It does not have to be "me". My point is we seem to have a different benchmark for Natural Intelligence vs Artificial Intelligence.
I'm increasingly convinced you can build an agi system with gpt4.

People are trying to get it to solve everything up front but I've had GPT3 do much better by taking it through a problem asking it questions. Then I realised it was good at asking those questions too so just hooked it up to talk to itself with different roles. Gpt4 seems much better overall and is very good at using tools if you just tell it how and what it has available.

With a better setup than reAct, better memory storage and recall, I think it'd be an agi. I'm not hugely convinced it isn't anyway - it's better than most people at most tasks I've thrown at it.

Oh, and gpt came up with better roles for the "voices in the head" than I did too.
> We are certainly a long way off from any semblance of general intelligence

Part of me is starting to think that the only thing we're really missing at this point to start seeing that is to have one of these models that can modify itself with its output and thereby have a mechanism to 'learn' or 'remember' things.
Right, and if we explicitly aimed for building a good AGI we could maybe get that chance higher than small.
Well it took us just about 65 years and a couple of AI winters to get convincing NLP going. And it takes about 1 TB of RAM...

So either AGI is around the corner or a generation away. Same as positive yield fusion reactors?
> However, I'd change your statement a bit: We might look at 2023 as a brief golden age when regular people could access trained parameters (the LLaMA params) and run these models on their own machines (such as with alpaca.cpp). I doubt we'll get access to LLM params again unless some kind of non-profit, actual open source organization is formed to produce them and put them out into the public domain.

There are a lot of people who'd love to have their own on-premise instance of ChatGPT (or equivalent), that they fully control, and could use for whatever purpose they want–even purposes that OpenAI might consider "harmful". They'd be happy to pay for that product if it were on offer.

Not just private individuals, even businesses – sending customer data to OpenAI involves lots of regulatory/legal/contractual hurdles, an on-premise offering avoids all those. Also, once you get to a certain scale, owning your own hardware works out cheaper than cloud.

If someone was to offer a ChatGPT-like service as an on-premise offering, I don't think they'd have any trouble finding people willing to pay for it. Even if they have to spend $X million to train a new model from scratch, I'm sure some VC would view it as a worthwhile investment. Of course, a free open source model would be even better, but a paid/commercial/proprietary on-premise model would remove many of the disadvantages of OpenAI. I'm 100% sure it is coming soon, I bet there are multiple teams working on it even as I type this.
> Don't you agree ?

I don't. The pandora's box has been opened. Using that criteria, we should also probably limit access to social media, AI, internet access altogether, stop governments from surveilling and tracking every single movement you make, and so many more things that have become an ingrained part of day-to-day life in the last few decades.

I find it funny that some people want to "patch" things up. It's over. I say let's just the experiment until society collapses and then build up from there.

How is that collapse going to look like? Not sure, but it's already happening in the near future. Ironically enough, this is what most women will be doing: https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/489/000/a49....
Sounds like good reason to better educate young people in general about the predatory nature of others and the many way in which they can be exploited without them realising.
The difference between mark to market and hold to maturity is an accounting difference to do with when profits and losses get realised. Secondly the rules about MTM vs HTM accounting tend to be dominated by whether or not there is a liquid market price for an asset (these are known as Level 1 mark to market assets), a liquid market price only for hedges or hedge equivalents of an asset (level 2) or whether a price has to be synthesised via a model (level 3, colloquially known as “mark to myth” during the crisis). There was a liquid market price for the vast majority of the assets in SVB’s portfolio. In any case P&L realisation wasn’t at all an issue relevant to the failure of SVB as I understand it.

My understanding was that realising losses on swaps used to hedge their MBS portfolio led them to require more regulatory capital and when they mishandled communication during the raise, it failed leaving them essentially dead in the water. The next day all the VCs who had been in conversations about the raise told their portfolio cos to move funds out, those founders told their friends and SVB was a dead bank.

Feynman had a really nice story about how he was into puzzles when he was at Princeton. It took him a while to solve the new ones, but eventually he learned all the well-known instances so he could answer instantly. It made him a genius in other people's eyes.

All I want from AGI is to demonstrate that it can solve a straightforward logic problems (puzzles, if you will), that it provably didn't see before. Or at least recognize it is being indirectly given such task. So far, evidence suggests it is not capable of that.
That's true and it's a high bar because it seems many people would expect AI to be at least as the smartest of human ever lived.

However if the AI is the same smart as the most dumb human or human with mental disability would we then consider those humans as no intelligent at all or not qualifying as homo sapiens anymore?

If AI can be the same as good as even 'dumb' human it's already a big achievement because can still provide some value and because AI can be scaled so you can still have billions of dumb AIs - already millions of users are interacting with chatGPT daily
