> there are 2.5 billion adult gamers in the world.

I don't think casually playing a mobile game every once in a while translates to going full VR. The amount of gamers that care enough about the medium to buy a console or gaming PC is only around 500 million or so.
Yeah. I was surprised to learn Powell is older than Bernanke. Some of Yellen’s comments around SVB weren’t very confidence-inspiring either. I don’t think the Powell-Yellen duo is up to the task.

WHY did they take the hit? Because the word was out these banks were putting all of their eggs in one bond basket at the time of increasing interest rates. I am a just a simple country 401K investor, and even I knew not to do that.

There is no official modding API for the Java edition unless that changed some time ago. I remember there being plans for it almost a decade ago now but nothing coming out of it for the Java edition - Bedrock however got modpack support.
A 40% withdrawal in a short time isn't survivable. Can't really fix that in a bank that does bank things. But the underlying situation that made depositors nervous could be addressed by regulation. Some ideas, not necessarily good or thought out, would include: mark assets to market, so the present value is reported accurately, but also report on expected future values at some intervals; an on the record increase of deposit insurance maximums would also help confidence, although there's lots of details there.
Seems like you insinuate cross-platform Java to Bedrock play was possible at some point, and now isn't. I don't think that was ever the case.

In any case, I don't see how any of what you described could be characterized as "hostile."
of course, but i didn't mean to remove all the slack, just some of it. you don't need 4x the capacity (OP was talking about working 10 hours out of 40), especially not for IT work where people generally don't die just because your capacity is maxed out.
Lol.

People acting like the world is ending when the reality is this is a classic run on banks. There's still a ton of outstanding loans that will be now paying Chase for the next 20-30 years. Larger banks can more easily accommodate depositor withdrawals.

It's not like the subprime mortgage crises at all but even that turned out a net profit for the feds when all was said and done.
You are right to be suspicious. The file gets flagged by 3 out of 70 scanners[0], and there are some "execution parents" (files that create the file being studied upon execution in a sandbox environment, see the relations tab) that are flagged by more scanners.

I first thought this was a honeypot, but it looks like plain old malware.

What? And how exactly would FRC have just gone on? They were insolvent.

The fed and regulators have to provide their current receivership terms (depositors will be made whole) to prevent banks runs and a liquidity collapse. Without these terms FRB would have collapsed long ago, as would have many other regional banks in the panic that would ensue as everybody takes their money to a TBTF bank.

The fed can only let you use those terms when you’ve failed, because otherwise they’d be massive money printers and accelerate inflation greatly (for the part that’s not funded by existing insurance terms, or bank fees, which btw are gonna have to go up each time this happens). And the Fed can’t let banks like FRC continue to operate after receivership because it’s essentially bailing out shareholders and execs with public money.

Well I agree with your two asterisks. The thing that gives rise to it is that people who are deciding on what to do about the rising rates are all incentivized the same way: write new loans or lose your job. Each bank has its own set of customers, strengths in marketing, and so on. The loan officers then choose the best of that pool. If that means firms that are at greater risk to rising rates, they still pick the better credits out of the ones they are presented with. It's basically a mugs game.

Gathering everything in a big bad bucket is indeed just hiding it until the next crisis. Gotta wonder what size of crisis this will eventually cause, not sure if I want to be around when it happens.

But:

> People famously have the political systems that they deserve.

I'm not sure most people through history or right now really have had much say in what political system they live under.
> So you're saying people as a whole don't change behavior over time?

At a fundamental emotional level, yea that's pretty much what I am saying.

> It's not possible that the average modern software developer is just a bit more sensitive about their work than a welder was in 1950?

Maybe. It's possible that the selection of 1950s welders consisted of a fundamentally different slice of the overall social profile than coders of the 2020s. But overall sensitivity comes with pride. If 1950s welders had pride in their work I am certain they had sensitivity about it also.

But the statement was "Nowadays people seem to be oversensitive about their code". So you have to compare people who write code now vs people who wrote code in the past. Not two different professions.
Doesn't really cover a lot of things you'd want to know like price, satisfaction, reliability, etc. - all of which, I believe, are strongly negative compared with 30 years ago. Also doesn't tell you if it's long distance or commuter or both - which is an important distinction since many more people commute these days.

In summary, it's a meaningless piece of chartjunk [edit: in the context of nationalisation vs privatisation, at least.]
Good point, and "jumping/cheating" did cross my mind, though was not meant to be a technical merit test.

I didn't get any difference with jumpScroll, but fastScroll makes it go further with xterm, though not as far and consistently as kitty.

So fastScroll option for xterm might improve the execution time.
What would you do if you found out you would? (I ask as someone whose great-grandfather, great-uncle, and grandfather all had Parkinson’s.)

I’ve avoided any testing because, as far as I know, there’s nothing preventative to be done. I’d love to hear otherwise. I’ve broached the subject with my last two primary care physicians and both advised that there was no point in knowing.
Eh. I don’t care about the chess world champions. I’m not playing them. RTS games suffer a similar problem.

Until you become extremely proficient, you have basically no room to use novel strategies. You will lose to people with better execution on established strategies. And so you don’t do anything but grind execution and it’s pretty boring.

Chess isn’t quite this bad, but I find it pretty boring after a while.
I also think it's part of their character to be agreeable, not just that they are friends.

In my experience, the mobile connection is very flaky on the trains in Germany.

I would think the train can have a much more powerful antenna to talk to mobile towers and then relay that to the passangers. So that WIFI is better than mobile data.
I get the reflex, but this becomes increasingly untenable as their complexity balloons. (Our "biology" is some sort of code for "it's complex".)
Conceded, that's the wrong word use for the PC hardware market. But Windows + Intel definitely had something approaching a "desktop computer platform" monopoly in the mid-late 90's. And it could have become much worse, had Jobs et al. not turned Apple into a functional business again, but I still think it's hard to say if there wasn't (isn't!) room for more than one alternative platform. Commodore were obviously lousy at setting a sane strategy and following through on it to make money, to the point where it almost looks like they could have failed without any competitors at all - so I don't think it's particularly easy to say what a moderately well-run Commodore, with actual new products up through the 1990's could have been able to do.
From my limited experience on the German rails (Amsterdam - Berlin 5/6 times in the last 4 years) the mobile 4G/5G connection was pretty good. Only dropping off when travelling through very remote rural areas. In the Netherlands we have unlimited data subscriptions, I assume Germany has something similar? That should be enough to get some work done in the train :)
They took over the bank, taking all its assets but also assuming responsibility for all its liabilities to its depositors.
In Europe, ownership of public transport is a pretty wild mix, and corporations that are publicly owned (or indirectly so) do not seem to work substantially better than private corporations that won public contracts.

Aside from ideological arguments, can you support your opinion by pointing out examples that show that public ownership of means of transport improves customer experience? Because as someone who travels all the time with public transport, I definitely care about my customer experience. I spend quite a lot of time in trains and trams, and I want the time spent there not to be arduous.

Notably, once you look at the related field of airlines, many publicly owned airlines were outright atrocious (looking at you, Alitalia). The traditional Czech airline, ČSA, was blown apart when the local social democrats appointed their useless crook of a colleague (a former minister who was looking for a nice job) to be the CEO, and he ran the airline to the ground with alarming speed.
What little consolation I had that maybe the experts of AI who continued to insist we needn’t worry too much know better, evaporates with this news. I am reminded that even a year back the experts were absolutely confident (as is mentioned in this article, including Hinton) that really intelligent AI is 30 years ahead. Anyone still trying to argue that we needn’t worry about AI, better have a mathematical proof of that assertion.
> Assets are either marked as HTM and assumed to be illiquid and at face value or they are not marked as HTM and assumed to fluctuate in value

No, the liquidity coverage ratio defers to GAAP for all asset values, and doesn’t discount Level 1 assets [1]. So a U.S. Treasury is considered comparable to unrestricted Federal Reserve balances [2].

My proposal is screw GAAP, for liquidity calculations, your assets are market valued every quarter. If there is legitimate concern about an asset not having a market, it isn’t a HQLA.

Why would they have a “lack of authentic desire?” Over 90% of federal employees are democrats: https://www.govexec.com/pay-benefits/2016/10/federal-employe.... These are people who (deeply) believe in the missions of these agencies. If democrats continue to control agencies whose budgets are undiminished, what explains the “lack of success” that you assert exists?

It’s like blaming crime waves on “defund the police.” There are discrete measures you can point to that were adopted, like bail reform, that has had some effect. But in general, it was more rhetoric than something which actually happened.

> This is just how our banking system works.

That's just how business works. Many businesses would have a hard time surviving losing 40% of their business in a short period of time.
The difference is that in 2008 all the major banks had taken on exactly the same balance sheet risk as Bear Stearns. In this case, what brought down SVB was the risk they took on the left side of their balance sheet, and this was pretty unique. FRC was taken down in the resulting panic, not because they shared the risk of SVB. FRC went under because it has been a zombie since the SVB collapes collapse, and the final blow came because they had to publicly report the damage they took then. It's not because of any further deterioration since. That
s why there is no panic now. I don't expect there to be any additional casualties from this in the near term as the panic is over.

In the longer term, though, I expect additional consolidation because of the fact that the government has all but instructed CFOs to move to larger banks through their statement that only "systemically important" institutions will be bailed out.

With 5G speeds and unlimited data* - do you even need WiFi? Not to mention most companies nowadays have clear policies of (not) connecting to free public wifi's or even working in public spaces where your screen may be visible.

Biomarkers are extremely important in any disease. They make diagnosis very clear cut but that isn't the main reason they are necessary.

What a biomarker really does is focus research for treatments, you know precisely what it is you have to change and to what level and how to measure it. This makes it a easy to target drug development and to measure whether it works. Without a biomarker you never know if the drug being developed will help or not and most drug companies stay away from diseases without one.

Well, the problem is, especially in Germany. If someone is a "Beamter" which can't be fired, has low income, there's no motivation to make a good job.

It took me 3 months to get a Bescheinigung über Daueraufenthalt" .

In theory, yes, transportation as well as communication should be owned by the public and available for free.
A state that has 100 billion for buying weapons can afford that too.

Buy Germany has deteriorated into a corrupt state and it still has a system endemic Nazi problem.
And also the inner city transport - at least in hamburg. Which is a great datapoint I think. Because this was true for all three months if I recall correctly and it means that there is absolutely a lot of public demand for inexpensive/free ways to travel. I work in an area with a lot of publicly subsidised housing which hosts mostly families that are less well off and I sometimes get to talk to these people and what I hear time and time again is how they had trouble paying for public transport and so they put off doctors appointments, can't have their child join a soccer team because they would need a monthly ticket to get to the field or have to compromise on other parts of their life that are completely non-negociable for many others. So there are many higher order effects where making public transport financially accessible to everyone could have positive benefits for financially underpriviledged people.
Also higher public transport usage might lead to less cars and hence less polution, less road damage that needs repair and less crashes and accidents so there might also be other positive effects downstream. I would be interested in a full economic breakdown of this, although that might be hard or infeasible to do. Yet I would not be suprised if it turned out quite positive for most.

It may sound weird but playing a game of online chess works as a way for me to unwind.

I have been playing for several decades now. Never picked up a chess book/video/tutorial in my life (after the initial introduction by a relative). Always played with the flow. I would admit sometimes I do wish I should learn some openings but somehow deep down I couldn't see myself learning chess through a tut. May be some day someone would convince me otherwise, who knows...

and I am in no way a pro, hover around 1600 rapid on chess.com. It says I am ahead of 98.5% folks. Not sure how will this 1600 translate to ELO ratings.
I don't use any social media (apart from this one, and visiting some subreddits without logging in) and Tate was indeed widely talked about for the 2-3 months before his arrest, at least in Britain.

You don't have to be on social media - the UK newspapers and other sources will pick up what ever people are talking about on there.
Ownership is no more than a collection of rights on what to do with the owned asset that is recognized by society. Regulate more and there won’t be much difference between private and public property, so ownership is less relevant than financial and incentive framework around public transportation system.
It's annoying that this technology never made it, but there's also a downside to this tech. Last time I've set up a client cert, I got constantly prompted to authenticate on random websites, and it turns out that ad tracking/fingerprinters/other cyberstalkingware abuse this process to track information about you. Another major problem is that middleboxes freak the fuck out when you don't follow TLS 1.2 to the point crappy middlebox vendors have bothered to implement the spec. Personally, I'd just accept that and let people stuck behind these crappy middleboxes get their ISPs/workplaces to get their shit together, but that's not a very business-friendly approach.

To fix the tracking issue, you'd need to employ strict limitations about what service can or cannot prompt for authentication when you're on a web page, and I'm sure restricting that stuff will break the few remaining big sites that rely on client certificates today.

Luckily, we have an alternative today. WebAuthn uses similar cryptographic principles to set up secure tokens and the UX is a lot better.

Are you saying depositors knowingly took dangerous risks?
Absolutely. I'm surprised you find that noteworthy.

I think it's very important that we:

- slow down AI capabilities research
- fast-track alignment and safety research
- guide the development and integration of transformative ai into society by putting responsible policies in place

It's obvious that ai offers an incredible opportunity for humanity. This could very well be the defining century for our species.

But there are so many ways this can wrong. Even if alignment turns out to be easy, our society is just not ready to cope with the radical changes that transformative ai would bring.

All of these challenges are solvable, but they require a dedicated effort from all involved players. We cannot afford a capabilities race and we cannot afford that just a handful of companies end up as the sole wielders of the most impactful technology to ever exist.
Capabilities cannot come at the cost of safety and we need policymakers to enforce this. Self regulation is not going to solve this for us.

Unfortunately, politicians have been years behind the curve when it comes to technological process. That's not good enough for transformative ai and so we need to get them in the loop now.

So yes, I do want new policies and laws. And I do want people to go into politics and work on policies to help shape this future.
Never understood the states with no safety inspection at the least. NC does both, emissions depend on county, and I don't see as many cars on the road that make me nervous to be around.
Yes, there are many ways it could be done.

However, I doubt that a private company whose business model was end to end encryption would secretly bake a back door into every client by default.

Any exposure of this by reverse engineering or whistle blowing would end the business. Why would a private company work against their own interests in that way?

I could imagine that specific clients got special back doored versions under some kind of secret court order, but I'm not sure what the delivery mechanism would be for that.

Edit: your final point that you could compromise a device independently of the app itself seems much more likely to me. Tools to do this exist and have been provided to governments.
Open-source real-time closed-loop brain-computer-interface emulation platform
The Neural Data Simulator (NDS) is an open-source Python package designed to simplify the development of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs). NDS generates real-time electrophysiology data from behavioral data, such as cursor movement and arm kinematics, replacing the BCI-user in the loop during development. This package is highly flexible, fully customizable, and comes with a set of utilities and examples that enable rapid kickstarting of BCI development. It includes pre-trained models, such as an encoder that converts behavioral data to simulated intracortical array data, decoder models, and example BCI GUI/tasks.

> So if we want to do something, I think the first step is really to get visibility to the problem

A sensible first step would be to very visibly display CO₂ monitors in buildings (e.g., throughout office buildings, schools, etc)

Once the CO₂ levels become visible, this in itself creates an incentive to improve.
