Credit Suisse is not included because it is a Swiss bank, not an FDIC insured US bank.

Lehman Brothers is also not included because, even though it was a US bank, it was an investment bank with no FDIC insured deposits. It was around the size of all of this year's failures, combined.

As you note, bank bailouts that were not FDIC bankruptcies are also not included.
Not necessarily. It could be that AGI exists and can learn how to drive a car, but we don't have good enough cameras/LIDARs/other sensors to make it work. Or the computation/battery power needed to do so isn't possible to fit in a car.

AGI is about inventing the brain, while the car is an entire body.

I am curious to do a poll of what AGI means to each person. It stands for "Artificial General Intelligence" but some have different definitions.

For some, it might mean any that is as capable as a normal human. For some, non-biological life axiomatically cannot become AGI. For some, it might require literal omniscience and omnipotence and accepting anything as AGI means, to them, that they are being told to worship it as a God. For some, it might mean something more like an AI that is more competent than the most competent human at literally every task. For some, acknowledging it means that we must acknowledge it has person-like rights. For some it cannot be AGI if it lies. For some it cannot be AGI if it makes any mistake. For some it cannot be AGI until it has more power than humans. These are several definitions and implications that are partially mutually conflicting but I have seen different people say that AGI is each different one of those.

That's nonsense. You don't get less environmental impact by having every person take up more land. Urban living is much more environmentally friendly because the alternative is paving over more of the environment.

My hope would be that by labeling factual and fictional data it would coax the model into a state where it doesn’t invent facts outside of a creative writing context. Inventing falsehoods is practically the definition of creative writing, you don’t want the model to lose that ability.

This is purely hypothetical, but I imagine that the internal mechanisms the model uses to invent stories out of thin air are different from the mechanisms the model uses to recall precise facts. Providing additional labels could help sharpen the division between creative and factual writing tasks.

There's this strange thing that is done. We have economics departments and business schools and they aren't the same thing.

Mainstream neoclassical economics is mostly preoccupied with what ought to happen in some mathematically defined fantasy world and business school is the study of what actually does happen.

In fact when you get into post-graduate classical economics, it's mostly just a formal branch of mathematics with models and axioms. It's got nothing to do with how people actually engage in the real world with the distribution of resources.

It's based on some mathematically defined homo-economicus and has a bunch of assumptions like infinite knowledge, exclusively rational and always correct based on some utility function calculation, etc... as if every single person, without exception, pours over arbitrarily complex excel spreadsheets covering a wide variety of properties for every single purchase and they all, in unison, arrive at the exact same conclusions and without any more thought immediately respond to the price signal. Oh and they also are acting only in their self-interest without any regard, at all, like some kind of narcissistic psychopath, for anything but themselves.

That's why the advanced economics books are just proofs, axioms and math while the business books are things like real world sales numbers. Classical Economic theories predict real world human behavior about as much as an astrology chart. (There's lots of revolutionary work in economics in the past 30 years that present other models but many people outside the discipline haven't gotten the memo yet and think James M Buchanan and other Virginia and Chicago school people from the mid-20th century are all of economics - it isn't and never was)

I've given a pretty good multi-year study into both. One of them reflects reality more.

Price signal is real, don't ignore it. $100 packs of gum won't sell ... unless they do (https://www.mastika.store/products/mastika-gum-gold)

It's part of the "4-6" ps of marketing. (usually price/place/promotion/product - sometimes people and presentation). As you can see in that link, those things are part of it.

It's way more complicated than sellers stupidly slashing their profit margins in some purely competitive feeding frenzy for your dollar. That does happen - but usually only in collapsing markets where price, speculation, information, and value are counterintuitively all unknown.

Robert Shiller has documented this, how the predictive capacity of neoclassical models reach their highest accuracy during market panics. So there is that
This reminds me of reinforcement learning and the Bellman equations.

Let a neural network based agent act in an environment. Record its rewards. Update the neural network so that the best actions become a little more likely, and the worse actions become a little less likely. Thus, we have demonstrated a training step that improves the agent.

Now just run that training step in a loop forever and you'll improve each step and reach Godlike intelligence, right? Right? Well, no, there is instability in "pulling yourself up by the bootstraps", and while I expect to see more GTP improvements, I believe there may be limitations we don't know about yet.

If you have a question I'm happy to clarify. If a restatement is helpful, the problem is that this definition of probability is limited and fails to capture the complexity of the problem domain, not that the problem domain is meaningless.

You're misunderstanding the terminology, "events" refers to sets of potential outcomes (eg, when rolling a die, the outcomes are 1-6 and the event "even" is the set of 2,4, and 6).

(I don't know 538's actual methodology, consider the below an illustration rather than a literal description of 538's model.)

The outcomes here would be each way the electoral vote could possibly be allocated, based on the number of states and the idiosyncracies of each state constitution. The events would be the division of these outcomes by who wins the election in that instance. The model then seeks to attach a weight to each outcome based on how likely it is.

You can think of these weights as the volume of each outcome. We use some kind of model to assign them. The most straightforward model would be to repeat an experiment many times and then assume the rate at which the outcome appears in your sample is approximately the same as it is globally. Other times that isn't possible and you need to use more sophisticated modeling techniques. I'm not going to offer a defense of statistics and machine learning writ large, but I think looking around it should be pretty clear these things can work well even if there's a lot of art to getting it right.

You can imagine comparing the probabilities of each event by pouring their constituent outcomes into separate graduated cylinders so that you can compare their cumulative volume. If you divide their volume by the total volume of all outcomes, that's the probability of that event. Or rather, that's the estimate of the probability, given our model and the data we have.

This is more or less my drunk history version of measure theory and probability theory. I imagine I've gotten some details wrong, so I'd encourage anyone interested to check the subjects out for themselves. Here's some YouTube videos:

Yeah it’s just… it’s a database. Weird default.
I generally love Mike Bostock's work, and this is a beautiful visualization, but I think this comment points out why circles are just a bad way to represent anything visual other than pizzas: it's a leaky abstraction (which is a real sin in visualization)

You have to know how the chart is generated in order to correctly interpret what you're seeing. The value can be the radius, diameter (how pizzas are measured) or the area itself! All of these choices lead to different interpretations of what you're seeing.

Then, on top of that, we're just not great and visually comparing areas. Pizzas are a great example of this. A 12" pie and a 16" pie don't look that different but you're talking about nearly twice the amount of pizza! A good example in this visualization is Signature vs SVB

Then on top of that we have the dimensions of the circle forcing the visual to overlap on the x-axis without this meaning anything concrete.

All that you can meaningfully take away from this visually is "2008 had one big and a ton of small failures, and currently we're seeing 3 big, but not quite as big failures", and unfortunately there's not a lot more you can get out of this. Because of the x-axis problem it's hard to even tell if WaMu preceded some of the others or not.

Community-scale banks (aka credit unions) are a better idea for local-regional communities (aka cities and towns and agricultural regions) because their managers have to live with their clients.

Take a community of 100,000 families, in an economic system where they're all collecting income and paying bills and so on. The idea behind a bank is that they hold the community's money securely while making their own money by providing loans at a greater interest rate than the interest rate they pay out to their depositors. Fundamentally, this means the bank is dependent on the fact that customers don't try to withdraw all their money at once (as the above dynamic means the bank is never able to meet this demand).

FDIC guarantees by governments are intended to bolster this customer trust, as if everything goes sour the deposits (to a certain limit) are guaranteed. The important point is that the regional bank has a profit model based on giving successful loans to individuals and small businesses for things like houses, cars, business expansion, etc. The bank will of course want to know a fair amount about the people they are loaning to (drug addicts are not good bets, etc.) in order to ensure they get paid back.

I hear people laughing in the background about the naivete of this picture in the modern American financial system. Since this post is already a bit long, go watch the movies "Margin Call" and "The Big Short" to get an idea of what's actually been going on.
Some people want smaller banks because "too big to fail". While those same people are already freaking out when two banks fail.

Wow that article that completely misses the point, yes, Chrome has better sandboxing, which offers it marginally better security, but that has nothing to do with Firefox's far better privacy features.

My issue with Sourcehut is their arbitrary exclusion of certain classes of floss software. They're of course within their right to refuse hosting any software they don't like, but their ideologically-driven stance leaves a foul taste in my mouth and sets a horrible precedent for other misguided folks to follow.

If sourcehut is ever accepted as it is now and grows to become a major hosting platform for floss software, the entire floss ecosystem will suffer as a result.

For this reason I hope they correct course or remain forever insignificant.

It’s easier to call it AGI to “normies” rather than what it will probably be IRL which is many thousands of niche disruptions via the specific innovations of recent (LLM/deep learning/GPU+AI tooling+education investments)… that we will as usual have a difficult time predicting what it looks like even a decade from now.

The wiki implies that these models were directly compatible: 1010, 1020, 1030, 1040, and 1050, which were produced between 1969-78.

There were many later models, but compatibility isn't mentioned.

> Any model that trivially depends upon statistics could not do causal reasoning, it would become exponentially less likely over time. At long output lengths, practically impossible.

This is handwaving. Yes, a system that is fundamentally based on statistics will require more and more data and compute power to be able to continue to function over longer and longer output lengths.

But you don't know a priori what the shape of that curve is, or how far along it current LLMs are (maybe their creators have some idea, but I suspect not even they truly understand where on that curve the current systems are).

Thus, there's no reason to assume that the system is "generaliz[ing] to the underlying problem" at all. And in fact, I'd argue that not only is there no reason to do so, there are strong reasons to assume that it is not doing that.
> To the east is Somalia, to the north is Ethiopia, South Sudan, Sudan, all countries locked in civil war between different 'collective movements'

No collective movements means no American revolution, no Civil war, no French Revolution, no Glorious revolution in Britain.
