I get that sometimes it's not (only) the manager's fault if there is no trust, but if as a manager you need a status update every 40 minutes while the people are fire fighting and working on an incident, I feel like you failed as a manager.
Of course the claims won't be denied.

The acceptance of the claims means that they will share the proceeds from the liquidation of the assets of the non-acquired remains of the bank with the other general unsecured creditors.

As far as I can see, those Cayman Islands "not-deposits" will be paid just like the outstanding invoices owed to furniture distributors, etc. They'll get at least part of it but there is no guarantee about how much - and it will take time. [Of course they could (?) still decide to treat them differently. But the current outlook is not bright.]
Really? I had no idea. Can you suggest further reading?
MapsGPT
Indeed, and maybe less than 7...

I'll point out that chatgpt needs to be paying attention to the numbers to remember them in the way I'm taking about. You will need to fine tune it or something to get it to remember them blind. I suppose that's not what you're talking about?

There is a strong chance that I'll remember where to find these numbers in a decade, after seeing and hearing untold trillions of "tokens" of input. The topic (Auto-GPT, which is revolutionary), my arguments about biological complexity (I'll continue to refine them but the rendition here was particularly fun to write) or any of these things will key me back to look up the precise details (here: these high entropy numbers). Attention is perhaps all you need... But in the world it's not quite arranged the same way as in machines. They're going to need some serious augmentation and extension to have these capabilities over the scales than we find trivial.

edit: you expanded your comment. Yes. We are augmented. Just dealing with all those augmented features requires precisely the long range correlation tracking I'm taking about. I don't doubt these systems will become ever more powerful, and will be adapted into a wider environment until their capabilities become truly human like. I am suggesting that the long range correlation issue is key. It's precisely what uniques humans from other beings on this planet. We have crazy endurance and our brains both cause and support that capability. All those connections are what let's us chase down large game, farm a piece of land for decades, write encyclopedias, and build complex cultures and relationships with hundreds and thousands of others. I'll be happy to be wrong, but it looks hard-as-in-quadratic to get this kind of general intelligence out of machines. Which scales badly.
I was mistaken!
“Regulation” is pointless here. It’s bits and bytes, it makes about as much sense as when regulating encryption algorithms was attempted.
It’s not just that. Makerbot had the same problem before they got bought out, that’s why the Replicator 2 went closed.

It’s one thing to take a design, modify it/improve it, and sell it.

It’s another to wait for someone with a good reputation to design something good (with all the costs that entails), make a perfect clone, and sell it as a perfect clone for much less because you didn’t have to pay for the R&D.

You’re right. It’s 100% license compliant. But it sucks and isn’t fair play.

So people go closed (Makerbot) or delay releasing things (Prusa). Doing all the R&D and letting someone else to take the sales isn’t a sustainable model for a business.

What else are they to do? They can’t survive selling consumables. Their stuff is great but others (often with worse quality) will always undercut that too.

I don’t have an answer. Their choice (or very similar) is the best option I can think of. Sell thing X, open source X-1. Or at least wait until most R&D on X is paid.
Do you have any idea how enormous the electricity consumption of our industry is where 24/7 production just is going on and on?
Take a look here:
https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/DE

If I eyeball the electricity consumption correctly, the lowest consumption was like 50 GW at 3 am in the morning and the highest was 60GW (+20%) at 1pm.

Our freakin grid is NOT capable of managing an additional load for EVs as of today or any time soon. We cannot produce enough electricity to move gasoline driven cars to EV because we right now barely manage to keep or industry alive and geothermal heatpumps and whatnot will strain it further.
So regarding 1) its BULLSH*T its a massive problem.

2) Where do you live that you believe Germany can store electricity in hydro? Why do you believe there is demand shaping when we literally need a constantly high load (see 1)???

3) Yes, I understand. Easy peasy. If i get a battery for my solar panels, the investment costs are effectively above 30cents/kWh which is bogus. Yes, you can just turn off that aluminium smelter or chemical plant running a continuous process.

You clearly have never been close to an industry complex, worked in anything remotely related to “Germany’s industrial backbone”. It’s ideological wishful thinking.

Excellent vote from the people of Paris! It's too easy to take these things on the sidewalk, go 20mph and disregard the people around you. Those things also weight quite a bit, so getting hit with that may be life altering.
Another way to look at the Itanic is that HP somehow conned Intel into betting the farm on building HP-PA3 for HP. Which is pretty impressive.

I went to SF schools including Lowell. Lowell, at the time, was blessed with strong science and mathematics teachers and a particularly great English composition teacher. Lowell possesses an extremely strong alumni community who are grateful for the education they received. If you look at school rankings at the time, Lowell was ranked in the top 100 high schools in the nation. Lowell has more Nobel Prize winners than most colleges and universities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Lowell_High_School_(Sa...
My proposed solutions aren’t whimsy. They are proposed solutions to problems that a classmate of mine at Lowell encountered. He and I were both low income, so we had free lunch. He complained that there was no quiet place for him to study at home. He is Hispanic. I am Asian.
Teachers preferred teaching at Lowell because the students wanted to learn and because they didn’t like the chaos found at other high schools including fights, gangs, and truancy.
It feels like a natural outcome of liberalism, social democratic band aids are kicking the can down the road before it explodes into the working class rioting on the streets. Can only do so much austerity and wealth redistribution to the wealthy, i.e. "IMF-approved, sound economic policies without alternative" before that happens.

The real problems are the unfortunate contradictions in end of politics style liberalism: growing wealth inequality, wage stagnation, increased worker efficiency and record profits, the media can only do so much to hide it. So protesters are under the impression that their demands are realistic, of course thats at the root of the argument and your outlook on it depends on your degree of faith in liberalism.

During the transport strike in December 2019, these e-scooters were a life saver. I rode those all over Paris (would never do the same in NYC, even though I used to bike the city) and it was great and perfectly safe. [I never used the sidewalk.] That thing even almost made it up the hill to Montmarte.

On the other hand, my cousin was struck by an irresponsible scooter (who was zipping on the sidewalk) when walking by the Seine, and had to have surgery on her foot. She absolutely hated those things and likely is more representative of how Parisians feel about them than my tourist self.
Twitter must already know engagement is higher with the check mark, and thus worth the money for many orgs.

I'm surprised the NYTimes is not paying and it's not clear to me whether it's because they think it's not worth the money or because of pride.

There are still some performance-sensitive niches that you might enjoy. Large scale numeric simulation workloads can have a variety of bottlenecks, and the difference between the easiest solution and the fastest solution can be orders of magnitude. Smart contract development also requires tight memory management, otherwise the fees can become prohibitively high.

While not Europe, I can tell you my experience in Israel as someone who lived there in the 2000's, left in the 2010s, and returned in the 2020s(felt like a time machine).. within about 10-15 years so much of what I think was distinct about israeli culture seemed to vanish and it felt like American culture made a huge impact short of some older russian enclave communities(not including their children). Everything from television/music/movies/media, to slang and dating, politics and views, and just how people behaved in general (grew up in southern tel aviv surrounded by 'arsim' like a type of chav or something). There is still relics of it in behavior and style but it is almost always something I notice in people 40+ years.

I also saw it happen over the course of maybe 4-5 years when I lived in Mexico City in 2013-2017.

Can you cite that? It runs against a plain reading of the standards (both C and C++) and would be insane for the standard to allow "correct" programs to include those with undefined behavior. There was even an unadopted proposal (n853 [1]) attempting to clarify this.

While I was making sure I wasn't missing something obvious, I took a look through the rest of the WG14 proposals to see if I was somehow off in my understanding regarding translators being allowed to barf over UB anywhere in the program. There was a proposal clarifying the situation to the possible-execution understanding from upthread submitted by Victor Yodaiken (n2278 [2]), but unfortunately it was also never adopted.

While I do think the manager bears the vast majority of the responsibility in situations like these, the reality is that you're right, and oftentimes managers do a bad job because they're getting pressured from above to communicate and don't know what to do.

You can often get them on your side by giving them a plan that makes them feel like they're in control (again, totally not your responsibility! But better than dealing with them being obnoxious constantly). If they ask for an update and you say, "I don't know what's wrong, but we're looking into it" then they don't know what to do. If you tell them "I don't know what's wrong, but right now we're investigating x because we suspect that's the source of the issue. I'm checking the logs and other engineer is trying to recreate the issue in a clean environment. Unfortunately I don't have a good answer as to how long it'll take, but we'll update you either when we've learned something useful or in two hours, whichever is sooner," then they have something to say to the people above them and they understand when they'll get an update, so they don't need to bother you.

A helpless manager is like a child - if left alone, they'll just shout and cause problems. What they really need is direction and structure.
Not having kids also produces this dynamic. A childless person is less likely to have strong connections amongst the still-vigorous once they're very old.
As a VP I had some conflicts with subordinate managers who were super anxious and transferred their anxiety on their own teams. Basically they had no clue how to solve problems due to not being technical and as a consequence made their whole teams neurotic like they were. I typically had to take over for a while to cool down the team and shield them from their managers whereas managers were supposed to shield the team from me.
Don't fall for this, it's just a smokescreen while they try to sneak by a depenalisation of tax evasion hidden inside a completely unrelated law (why, oh dear reader? Because it serves their voter base, of course)
Or you use a regular license, but publish the terms openly.

Ie. "Anyone who uses this printer design, or one based from it, must pay $3 to us per printer sold. We will give this permission to anyone who asks. For anyone who contributes back to the design of our printers, we will consider reducing this figure to $0"
> Is there anything comparable surviving today?

Surviving? No. The most recent is arguably Sun's Rock processor, which was one of the final nails in their coffin, was quite an i432 redux. It promised all sorts of hardware support for transactions and other features that Sun thought would make it a killer chip, was rumoured to tape out requiring 1 kW of power for mediocre performance, and Oracle killed it when they saw how dysfunctional it was.
> But there are either better ways to do these things, or they still require coercive (supervisory) activity.

I wish there were a consistent answer to this, but part of the reason management is hard (and I won't deny there's plenty of useless managers) is that people is very variable and you need to adjust your approach depending on the organization composition.

> So planning. yeah it's important. Have a clear goal and work out what you need to achieve it. Frankly the new intern can achieve most of that in one day, and all the senior team can easily do it. And prioritise it.

There are plenty of teams and situation where this is hardly "easy", particularly at very large companies. Relative priorities are not always clear, many teams demanding your team's attention and understanding what is "best" for the company and company goals, the team and individuals is non-trivial. You need to align all of those. It requires constant communication (hence why managers spend time on meetings, reading presentations, reading roadmaps from other teams, 1:1s with their team to understand their personal goals, etc);

> and if instead of giving it solely to managers you just published it to the whole org such logistics would be available to increase discussion and awareness (ie the workers would understand the plan better and not need managers)

Even in organizations where the information is open and all documentation, meeting notes, spreadsheets, etc; are open people struggle to understand and some just want the summary (I'd say most); they don't want to know how the sausage is made outside maybe have an understanding of the process (and some not even that).

> Aligning goals ... that's incentives. That's easy - pay me. Otherwise ... looks a lot like coercion.

Maybe is that easy for you. A lot of people want something else from their careers and as a manager you have to align what the organization wants with what the individual(s) and teams want as much as is reasonable to maximize their satisfaction (retention, performance, etc; is better if you achieve this).
Same screeching and pearl clutching as always. Covid has wound down, trump is out of office, Twitter is still there (unfortunately). People have to have something to get hysterical about and this is it for now.
Look closely at AMD designs (and staff) of the very late 90s and early 2000s and/or all modern x86 parts and see that ...more or less, that's what happened, just not with an Alpha mode.

Dirk Meyer (Co-Architect of the DEC Alpha 21064 and 21264) lead the K7 (Athlon) project, and they run on a licensed EV6 bus borrowed from the Alpha.

Jim Keller (Co-Architect of the DEC Alpha 21164 21264) lead the K8 (first gen x86-64) project, and there are a number of design decisions in the K8 evocative of the later Alpha designs.

The vast majority of x86 parts since the (NexGen Nx686 which became) AMD K6 and Pentium Pro (P6) have been internal RISC-ish cores with decoders that ingest x86 instructions and chunk them up to be scheduled on an internal RISC architecture.

It has turned out to sort of be a better-than-both-worlds thing almost by accident. A major part of what did in the VLIW-ish designs was that "You can't statically schedule dynamic behavior" and a major problem for the RISC designs was that exposing architectural innovations on a RISC requires you change the ISA and/or memory behavior in visible ways from generation to generation, interfering with compatability so... the RISC-behind-x86-decoder designs get to follow the state of the art changing whatever they need to behind the decoder without breaking compatibility AND get to have the decoder do the micro-scheduling dynamically.

Don't get scared, AIs like the magic mirrors from the tales of old are actually a reflection of ourselves.

China is pushing to break that link. With Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia and Venezuela on its side it may very well succeed in that.

> what’s the currency for the semiconductors

I see a multi-currency world. For semiconductor it won't be currency but access to raw material, supply chain and technology. Two examples of this are the blockage of supply of rare earths metal to Japan by China a few years ago during a diplomatic crisis, and very recently refusal by ASML, due to pressure from the US, to supply semiconductor equipments to China.
They mentioned 10 movies, that's your take away? Are you arguing in bad faith here?

I am sure you know this, but be careful with this strategy. The worst managers of all will tend to give you the answers you most want to hear in these situations.

The best will tell you the truth. This might be the same in the best case but is often less than perfect in reality (though, per being a good manager, can at least improve).

This is an advantage of C style programming. If you understand the problem and tailor a solution you can utilize simplifying assumptions which make the code easier and faster.

General libraries have to handle all kinds cases you might not care about. The most egregious example is assuming every piece of code might be threaded so everything needs to be protected by locks. (I would guess > 75% of dictionaries never remove a key, and simply throw away the whole thing at the end.)
