The FDIC had a rule that they were only allowed to guarantee 250k? As in, they were not allowed to guarantee more if they could or deemed it prudent? They had this rule and they threw it out? Do you have a citation or source for this?
Its all actually backed by Goldman Sachs and their underwriting partner. Apple isn't suddenly a bank or even financial institution, they are in partnership with one, and through that able to exert some leverage around deposits, which is cool, but they still had to get a bank involved for it all to work.

It doesn't require interface inheritance, it supports interface inheritance.

Try Common Lisp. Unless you tell it otherwise, Steel Bank Common Lisp treats all type declarations as assertions. They are checked at runtime. The compiler also does a great deal of compile-time checking too.

But if you don’t like to use any of it you don’t have to. So you can annotate just some code, either because you want the types checked or for performance reasons.

One caveat though: SBCL’s treatment of type declarations in this manner is implementation specific (well, SBCL’s predecessor, CMUCL, also did this.) The Common Lisp standard simply says the result is undefined if a value’s type does not match the declaration. So a more portable way to do this is to use the CHECK-TYPE macro and use declarations only for performance reasons.

Well if you don't find anything, I wonder how easy it would be to adapt my DocBook XML reader to do HTML (sans any sort of script, dynamic content, or remote content). It's pretty much as you describe, little more than a pager for stuff that one can pipe into it, or files named on the command line. I pretty much aimed at just under pg(1) for DocBook XML.

> Forum mods were notorious power trippers on any forum I've been on.

Back about 10-15 years ago I agreed to be a mod on a pretty large and popular forum, naively thinking I could help keep the place decent and useful for the users. What I discovered instantly were hidden mod forums where they made fun of all the users, laughed about arbitrarily banning people, and discussed about how they banned posts about illegal stuff mostly because it gave away their secrets. I gave that up quickly and decided I was all set with modding.
Urgh. Thanks, I hate it.

> By the way a dTPM should have a real entropy RNG so technically it shouldn't have any (usable) seed. It's basically a smartcard soldered onto the mainboard. Of course smartcards can also have key generation flaws like the Infineon flaw a while back. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2017/10/security_flaw...

The seeds are an essential part of the TPM story as for generation (derivation) of primary keys, and being able to "take ownership" of a TPM by changing those seeds.

The seeds are not an essential part of the TPM story for its RNG. A TPM absolutely can and should have a solid HW RNG. Though, were I designing a TPM, I'd combine the output of a HW RNG w/ a PRNG seeded internally.
GNU Taler works fine. People have an anti CBDC bias that they project onto GNU Taler regardless of the privacy benefits of it.

It is already hard enough for the GNU Taler Team to get their technology adopted. When you see comments on HN you get the impression that it is very unpopular hence it won't be implemented and the expectation is that any CBDC won't be privacy friendly.
It's unsurprising that they try, it's surprising that they get away with it. Blatant market manipulation by several big tech players with zero consequences. Which then emboldens them to go even further.
For the cost of the city, if they stopped going after car theft it would simply become more prevalent. We don't need to decriminalize and make safe cities for car thieves.

Regarding your second point, many modern cars have kill switches the police can access. This might be a better solution if these can't easily bypass them. That said, I don't personally want a car with a kill switch.
Traffic lights still work without position, as they'd have to at night, in fog, in glare, and so on.

Point is, the meaning of the colors appears to be universally understood thanks to driving, and distinguishing the colors has been addressed.

Yes I'm aware of the insurance guarantee but I'm not aware that the FDIC has some self-imposed rule preventing them from doing more. Honestly that would be a really bizarre self-imposed limitation to have given their mission statement, and given they could just "throw it out" as they see fit.
You never proved you could handle more than $500 in debt. You then asked for maybe three-orders of magnitude more debt. Surely you can appreciate that difference.
> no need to include additional threats of what you'll do after that point.

This is good advice in general, for formal communication.

Do: State what you want to happen, when, how, and why, plainly and up-front; briefly state any directly relevant and necessary information.

Do not: Hedge; express uncertainty (if they think you're wrong, that's up to them to figure out—cut the "maybe's" and the "I think"s, et c.); apologize ("sorry to bother you, but..."); threaten; whine; rant.

Request, state, and do. Do not threaten. Threatening is what you get other people to do—lawyers, elected representatives, union reps, state regulatory bodies, et c. If you threaten, you just come off like a weak blowhard. [EDIT] Take note that when those others threaten it's inherent. A lawyer doesn't have to say "or we'll sue your ass". If you are personally threatening, you don't need to threaten. It's implied. If your ordinary correspondence doesn't carry an implied threat, it's because you're not personally threatening, and you need someone who is to do it instead. That's why explicit threats from Joe Blow tend to come off as weak—the actually-threatening are threatening when they simply make requests and state their case, and if they rise to actually making a threat, it's damn scary, because it's credible. If your request isn't threatening, your threats aren't either. By avoiding weak language and not falling into the amateurish trap of leading with threats, you raise your threat level, because you come off as someone competent enough to know all this.

Concise, direct, clear language comes off as more-powerful and "higher" than wishy-washy language and threats, and it's easier to understand, besides.

Surge of neurophysiological coupling and connectivity in the dying human brain
All numbers approximate:

- Number of banks in the US: 4,844 (69,500 people / bank)

- Number of banks in the UK: 365 (184,000 people / bank)

- Number of banks in Australia: 95 (272,000 people / bank)

- Number of banks in Japan: 199 (628,000 people / bank)

Let's cool it with the doomsday talk. Every major economy (except maybe China, but they're weird so not counting them) has 2.5x+ the number of people per bank than the US. The US is the weird one.

If you want to look at this from a "return to fundamentals" perspective: the US is only a few hundred years old, and was built on some of the most virgin, rich, plentiful, resourceful land on the entire planet. That fueled 300 years of economic development the likes of which the world has never seen; and the nice thing about growth is that it really helps cover-up bets that were far too risky for any reasonable risk-taker.

We're not going to see big banks take on increasingly higher risk over the next decade. In fact, we'll see the opposite. Fewer banks, more regulation, and less risk taking, as the US begins to regress more to the worldwide economic growth rate.
If the types are really complicated and the function isn’t doing too many unrelated things, you probably want to define some types or aliases.
Well, this is neat. It's an actual demo you can play with. Not bad for a launch, and thank you. I'm tired of waitlists and gatekeeping.
> But as someone who spent years on iPhone, then switched fully to Android for 5 devices across 4 years

Perhaps you don't know how to pick phones? My last Android device lasted 4 years (in fact it is still going strong after I installed DivestOS, became my backup phone), and my new device will probably last a long time too.

I remember hearing stories as a kid in Slovenia that if your is stolen, you'll never get it back because it gets chopped into pieces within hours – before you even realize it's gone – and the parts make it to Bosnia/Albania/Serbia by next day.

In the early 00's there was even a show on Discovery Channel about chop shops in UK – indie garages that make new cars out of parts. How the parts are sourced was not discussed, they "just show up".
yeah, same boat here.

It's great for generating sample code snippets or refactoring code, but I can't paste my company's intellectual property into it

If I could train a customized version of it on all my company's Slack messages, Jira tickets, e-mails, etc it'd be insanely useful . . . . but I don't think any big company would actually want that, since it wouldn't be able to keep secrets from anyone with access to it

Beautiful. NK can keep those three minutes and nine seconds of my life I lost watching that.
Definitely disagree, especially not the case for function arguments. Having no types in the arguments makes an api incredibly hard to use.
I don’t know if there’s an afterlife or not, but if there’s such a thing as a soul I wouldn’t think it’d operate on a technicality.

That is: our medical definition of death wouldn’t be what determines freeing a soul from the body. I can’t imagine an “oops, looks like they got your heart beating again - guess it’s time to stuff that pesky soul back in the carcass. See you in a few years” scenario.

Most of your other points related to how pornography is produced, not to its consumption. Thus it wouldn't matter who is watching it, and thus ID check seems irrelevant.

Some of the aspects of the porn market are not great, but they should be investigated by the relevant authorities. Hiding them from only certain people won't make them go away.

Yes, that's been a push for a while. I'm glad to see it's becoming more popular. But it doesn't work if unless the landlord opted into their payment system.
Nah. As somebody who ends up doing a ton of mental math, I think it's valuable. Yes, they should also learn how to use tools. But developing a feel for numbers is valuable, and I think that is much harder to do if one always relies on a calculator. (And yes, of course, this should be learned in a way that doesn't involve the kids hating it. But that's possible.)
"See the 2 people with all their limbs cut off, staring up at the clouds?"
I posted this below, but I suspect the scoping for Chrome.exe was done because Chrome was misusing an API.

According to the article:

"the worst was reserved for users on the enterprise version of Windows. For weeks, every time an enterprise user opened Chrome, the Windows default settings page would pop up. There was no way to make it stop unless you uninstalled the operating system update. It forced Google to disable the setting, which had made Chrome more convenient."

Enterprise maybe didn't like settings getting changed that way (conflict with group policy?). If it was constantly opening new windows, it's probably because it was constantly calling an API (probably in the wrong or an undocumented way). So it would make sense to change how the API works based on a known bugged application. It wouldn't be the first time Windows changes how something works based on application name [0].

Keep in mind there's also more than just the documented Win32 API exposed to applications on Windows (and who knows if Chrome was misusing these undocumented ones) [1].

For example, I could say that Mao ordered the killing of all of China's sparrows, leading to a massive famine. Is it one-sided to not mention that this was under the mistaken belief that the sparrows were eating all of the food? Maybe. I don't think it's unfair, though. It was idiotic and it had disastrous consequences.

One could also mention that the one-child policy was kept in place for years after China's looming demographic issues became apparent, and the silliness of replacing it first with a two-child, and then a three-child policy before its abolition. Perhaps it would be one-sided to not mention the massive bureaucracy of the family planning commission consisting of millions of workers at both the central and local government levels who would have to find other work without it (of which I even have family who used to coerce women into getting abortions), but I don't think that makes it any better.

Or ghost cities, which appear in Western media, but rarely mentioning that most of the apartments in these cities end up getting bought because of a real estate bubble in which Chinese citizens pour their savings into buying empty apartments in empty cities. It is 'one-sided' perhaps to not mention that the apartments have owners, but it is factually true that they are empty and the ghost cities exist.

Is Western media sometimes unfair? Sure. The BRI gets painted as a debt trap, but the reality is the projects really are intended to be profitable. Will travelling to China help with that? I don't see why, since the BRI is investment in countries outside of China.

The biggest misconception most Westerners have, though, is that they are under the illusion that the Chinese are yearning to be free from their oppressive government. And perhaps that is the 'distortion' you are thinking of. Is this a result of the media? Perhaps. But in my opinion, it is a factor of Westerners implicitly believing that all people are just like them, when in reality tyranny is only possible because the people who live under it accept it. Every nation gets the government it deserves.
Have you tried self hosting? All you need is business internet with a static IP which is quite inexpensive and doing inference can be done on CPU depending what you want to perform inferfence.

The typewriter factory in Ivrea was ... a typewriter factory. Yeah, I worked on compilers but the building still built typewriters. I was there for a month before I was "allowed" to go to lunch by myself for fear of getting lost.

The main hotel in town, the Hotel La Serra, is shaped like a ... typewriter.

The Brigate Rosse was a threat when I was there and Adriano Olivetti was very afraid of them. You'd never see him. If you drove at night you were likely to be pulled over by the Carabinieri and have a machine gun stuck in your stomach while they figured out who you were. Everyone was on edge.

But it was a cool time. Ivrea was a company town and I think if I wanted to dial the Olivetti operator from my apartment I dialed 6. But taking a shower meant getting up at 4am so that there would be enough water pressure.
I wish that somebody makes interactive examples and implementation in not pseudo language. Or is the link to their repo if tests is in the article?
Funny, because it seems to me that the happiest people are those who feel like they have found their purpose, their true calling, their vocation in life. Many people who currently feel like that, or are beginning to determine that, are going to see the rug pulled out from underneath them when AI can compose symphonies and voice-act and drive trucks and design airport baggage handling systems and plan cities 100x better than any human. We'll see a lot of happy people turn into miserable little shits pretty quickly.

Meanwhile the rich will no longer have any need for the poor, and since 100% of your worth as a human being derives from what job you do in service of the rich, you'll become a worthless little fucking bug for them to exterminate.

Bad diet, as in Mcdonalds every day and lots of sugar, is going to be bad for you even with exercise, but thats because you probably aren't getting the nutrients that you need.

The big issue with diets is that people eat too much carbs, and if you aren't burning those carbs for energy, this is where problems happen. Healthy regiment of exercise will help greatly with this, giving you the option to eat tasty foods with carbs and maintain a good weight without any problems.
Sorry about that! I’ll remember to do so next time.
I draw the line, when satisfying the type checker requires writing ugly uselessly complicated code, like writing classes just to use them as type annotations, because the type checker does not get it otherwise, and things like that. Things that introduce code inflexibility at a later point, or encourage bad designs of using too much inheritance. Writing type annotations for procedure arguments and return type can be quite helpful. I just don't want to overdo it all. If the tradeoff is that far into the safety direction, then why did anyone choose Python for that project and not say for example Rust? Or even Java?

Lets not make Python the new Java. People already start to translate design patterns 1 to 1 from Java examples to Python and I have to tell them, that there are other ways in Python. Lets not choke Python programs with design patterns that are needlessly implemented in complicated ways, where the language already provides other means! (singleton, visitor, factory, decorators, etc.)
Interestingly, this expectation isn't universal in the Western world outside of the US. In Australia, the banks don't expect to see previous credit card management, and in fact the presence of an open credit card will significantly reduce your calculated borrowing power for a mortgage.

The myth of US-style 'credit score' requiring a history of card use does persist here though, and I've known several people who have had to close one or more credit cards in order to get their mortgage approved.
It's not a hack to create a new set and work out rules for how to use it which are both internally consistent and support easy morphisms with more familiar sets.

It may not be easy, but it's hardly a hack. It's one of the big ways math works, really. Are negative numbers a hack? Rational numbers? Algebraic numbers? Well then neither is the two-point compactification of the reals or extending the natural numbers into the ordinal numbers.

These are things with very precise models and interpretations. No hacks at all.
Can you elaborate on why that would be the case? I ask because we've had some discussion about drafting an 'AI' policy with our CTO and though we haven't said anything officially, we are concerned about exfiltration of secrets, and the accuracy of information.

I do wonder if there will one day be communications formatters like what Prettier does for code, where no matter the style of writing going in, it will come out consistent. But until there are 'communications rewriters' to match a predefined company tone and style guide it seems like anyone's use of a tool like this would by ad-hoc.

What do you think the most sensible policy is to have right now, and why?
I think reading comprehension is a notable weakness - asking it detailed questions about a long text comes up with lots of hallucinations in my experience.

But it's definitely good at some other things. Writing boiler plate texts of various sorts and giving instructions on how to do certain things notably.

It seems to mostly synthesize common knowledge rather than learning anything. But that can be very useful, a lot of people's job involves doing things like that today.
