> fractional reserve lending is fraud

I don't understand how it's fraud. Banks could not lend at all if they must retain 100% of deposits.

On the lending side, it would hurt everyday people and the economy if banks could not lend. Loans are important for homeowners (mortgages) and for businesses of all sizes (research and development).

On the savings side, your community bank provides incredible guarantees with your deposit that are difficult to find elsewhere: deposits are very liquid, principle is virtually guaranteed, and convenience in routing the money wherever you direct it.

What would a better system look like?
A 13,000lb RV is doing a similar job to a 6lb tent, 1lb sleeping mat, 3lb sleeping bag, and 2lb stove.

There are obviously some good reasons to buy a huge RV instead of using a tent, but the RV itself is an expensive and heavy status symbol.
This is totally off the cuff, but if you were using a pair of doubles like that, you’d essentially need to represent these new operations with numerical algorithms on the pair of doubles, right? So the algorithms would presumably need to deal with the last bit being a bit dodgy at times, right?

Any artificial neural net has a finite set of inputs and a finite set of outputs. That makes it equivalent to some lookup table. You must therefore claim a lookup table has the ability to reason.
It should be a law that’s hard to prove, like libel or something similar (not a legal expert).

Or, laws specifically regarding elections (and maybe a few other matters). Even if they were forced to disclose their known misstatements (lies) publicly in someway that might help them collectively keep each other in honest.

It might be similar to how public companies are required to have audits and report their results and whatnot. We in the public get information to help us determine what the truth is regarding stocks.

Honestly just like the deregulation of finance introducing risks to banks and resulting Great Recession, the deregulation of fairness doctrine and other things are equally at fault for things like this happening IMO. We’re letting history repeat when we forget why such regulations were instituted to begin with.

Banks are not companies. They are allowed to create money out of thin air [1], unlike a "normal" company. They are heavily regulated by the government, unlike other companies. They are in fact an essential service in today's world.

Fair point, there's definitely some hyperbole there. "More than anyone thinks" would mean the author doesn't think it will damage as much as he's saying either.

Sort of implies the article was hyperbole, which it was.
Thats a good point but also it means you will see particular areas be more dramatically affected by this. For instance, I have noticed big price buts in some ski areas where I have though about buying a small second home or condo.
The simplest example is just calculating default values that aren't trivial,

Democracy is not the only form of government and the consent if the people is not required to form a government. But if the people want that, they must establish such a government by whatever means just like americans did 1979 after winning a bloody war to establish such a form of government. It was blood not votes that allowed american democracy to exist and it was also blood that allowed King George to rule over america to begin with and it wad blood that allowed comminists in China, Russia, Cuba and NK to establish their govenment,etc...

Blood usually but always is the source that allows establishment of a military which must first accept that form of government and then the people need only tolerate the rule of law enforced ultimately through the military.

Any source of law that is capable of enforcing that law is legitimate.

But you can disagree with authoritatians for example and fight to replace them with a democracy (Iraq is calling, they want Saddam back! Lol jk) but even though you can do so it is unjust and under rule of law criminal to punish someone who followed the law of the land or to creatr laws that punish people for acts done before the law was passed.

Ask HN: What should I do? Stay or move?
Hello everyone.

I am currently working as a senior cybersecurity consultant and have a primary career goal of starting my own company, specifically in the SaaS industry. I have market certification and three years of real-world experience. I am open to pursuing additional certifications, such as CISSP and maybe OSEP. My short-term and long-term financial goals include becoming financially independent, and I currently earn around 4k per month(no taxes).

I am facing a decision in my career, and there are a few factors that I need to consider, such as financial independence, location independence, the desire to travel to more countries, and the ambition to build multiple online businesses. My current job is an 8-4 position, allowing me to focus on my side hustle in my free time. However, If I move to a Western country(because I’m giving some interviews(my salary is between 125-135aud before taxes)), I might have to work more than my current 8-4 schedule.

In addition, Chances are they will offer me a sponsorship, which could lead to permanent residency. However, this might result in working longer hours, leaving me with less time to build, learn, and ship new products. On the other hand, the pay in the Gulf is quite good. Also, I’m planning to get married maybe this year or maybe next year. (InshaAllah)

Considering all these factors, I am unsure about what to do and need help making a decision. Because If I’m not moving, then I can go and talk to my current company about 2 years of bond.

Thanks,
Shazeb

Idk about “above average baseline”. Maybe, because quite a lot of people aren’t very smart. But even GPT4 struggles with complex logic problems, particularly ones with multiple steps, and when it makes logic errors it makes ones a human would spot. It also has trouble counting letters and words, though that’s largely due to its autoregressive nature. It has more knowledge and memory than any human, and I really think it’s emergent, but at its core it doesn’t seem very “intelligent”

They're both for stopping. It's why they're biased to have more power in the front than the rear. You can take advantage of this with the rear to "tune" in some situations, or to maintain stability at low speeds, but it should also be fully used when braking.
Could you stick a torch.compile in the inference and training code, maybe gated behind a flag? This should help AMD/Nvidia performance (and probably other vendors soon) significantly.

"'This book is stolen. Written in part on stolen time, that is. Because like millions of others who work for a living, I was giving most of my prime time to my employer...' So begins Jeff Schmidt in this riveting book about the world of professional work. Schmidt demonstrates that the workplace is a battleground for the very identity of the individual, as is graduate school, where professionals are trained. He shows that professional work is inherently political, and that professionals are hired to maintain strict "ideological discipline." The hidden root of much career dissatisfaction, argues Schmidt, is the professional's lack of control over the political component of his or her creative work. Many professionals set out to make a contribution to society and add meaning to their lives. Yet our system of professional education and employment abusively inculcates an acceptance of politically subordinate roles in which professionals typically do not make a significant difference, undermining the creative potential of individuals, organizations, and even democracy. Schmidt details the battle one must fight to be an independent thinker, showing how an honest reassessment of what it means to be a professional in today's corporate society can be remarkably liberating. After reading this book, no one who works for a living will ever think the same way about his or her job.“

> Private capital works hard on this to gain a return. They spend first, then are under pressure to make a return.

The key point here is "return" - in the private markets, it's just a numbers game. Most successful, important scientific research is not going to make a big return. Perhaps it'll lead to money for someone else down the line, but that's besides the point. Private markets are a bad fit for huge swathes of research where success != $$$. Which leaves a couple of areas, e.g. drug development...

> pharma companies still spend a TON of research. They live and breathe by getting to the next "big" drug to make them money and make up for all the failures.

While correct, it's important to remember that pharmaceutical company research spending is highly weighted towards drugs with a large number of patients or where demand is relatively insensitive to price. COVID vaccines are a perfect example because they fit both categories. This usually works out OK, but it isn't a good fit for a poorly-understood condition like long COVID where the size of the target market and the price sensitivity of the customers is very difficult to estimate. You also end up with other undesirable outcomes like the systematic underfunding of research into conditions that predominantly affect minoritized or less well-off communities. Pharmaceutical companies also rely on a huge body of publicly-funded basic research.
One neuron has an infinite number of possible states (as far as we know).
So you think that's not serious. It's fine if social networks which have the power to sway elections, to build and destroy businesses, which have the data & represent the identity of hundreds of millions even billions of people... can just misrepresent your position & make you falsely endorse their products? You have no idea what you're talking about.

LeBron James alone has almost FIFTY THREE MILLION FOLLOWERS on his account. This is more than any newspaper, any TV channel's audience right now. Are mass media also a joke? Should laws no longer apply to them then?

Many of these FIFTY THREE MILLION FOLLOWERS will be swayed by the false endorsement to pay a $100+ dollar annual subscription to Musk. Based on this fraud.

But it doesn't matter that we're talking about potentially billions in revenue obtained illegally, never mind because Twitter is just for shits and giggles, nothing is serious on it. Let's just ignore it because if it has stupid memes on it, it can't possibly matter.
I wouldn't trust the vast majority of humans to file my taxes either, and I definitely wouldn't trust any below a certain intelligence level. Nevertheless that doesn't mean those humans are completely devoid of any intelligence at all.

I don't need to cherry pick, I use GPT4 daily. At this point naysayers can only be willfully ignorant or uncreative in their use of it.

This is addressed towards the end of the post. PyPI intends to support other publishers in the future.

I'm not sure how that's related. This is a security feature; it has nothing to do with curation.
So I think I'm starting to get a theory of what happened. Lindell was duped by some guy that came forward to him with "proof" of election interference. However Lindell had a problem, he had no ability to personally verify the files, and everyone thought he was too much of a looney to bother taking his claims and files seriously. So he came up with a solution, namely to pay people to take his claims seriously. By making it into a contest, he wouldn't even have to pay up, since the files would undoubtedly (in his mind) turn out to be real.

Could this be it?
GPT-4 thinks you should provide a citation:

==

Me: Is it true that, in humans, one neuron has an infinite number of possible states (as far as we know)?

GPT-4: It is not accurate to say that a single neuron in humans has an infinite number of possible states. Neurons are complex cells that can exhibit a wide range of behaviors and responses, but the number of states is not infinite.

Neurons communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals, and their primary functional unit is the synapse, where communication between neurons occurs. The strength and patterns of these connections can vary, resulting in a large number of potential states for a single neuron. However, this number is still finite, albeit extremely large.

Moreover, the activity of a neuron can be described in terms of its membrane potential, which is a continuous variable ranging from hyperpolarized to depolarized states. While there are many possible values for the membrane potential, it is still a bounded range, not infinite.

So, while the number of possible states for a single neuron is vast and complex, it is not infinite. The complexity and diversity of neuronal states contribute to the rich repertoire of cognitive and behavioral functions that humans possess.

Brazil has a higher rate than the US, but you wouldn’t be able to tell based on the testing there. Mine was:

- Backup parking

- Parallel parking

- Drive around the city with an examiner for a few minutes

Any mistakes in the first two and you’re disqualified. You have to get them right the first time with no corrections (or at least that was the case back in 2007 or so).

For the driving part, you can make two small mistakes. Any critical mistakes immediately disqualify you.

In comparison, in my WA test when I moved here I botched parallel parking 3 times until I got it right. Then I indavertently speeded and also didn’t fully stop at a stop sign (either of which would’ve been a disqualifying mistake in Brazil IIRC). Still got my license.

Nevertheless, I find it MUCH safer to drive in the US (WA in particular, the only place where I’ve ever seen folks consistently driving at or below the speed limit). Brazilian drivers are crazy aggressive and in a lot of places traffic rules are treated as mere suggestions.
They only archive original sources, not transcodes. With that said I'd guess they'd start archiving non sources if there was space.
Upvotes and downvotes have zero real-world stakes.

Imagine if your upvote button was wired directly into your wallet and extracted some amount of money with every press.

Even if you control the amount, even if it is fractional cents per upvote, you now have to figure out how much it is costing you in real world dollars to upvote people each day/week/month whatever.
