That's a long PDF. What do you want to refer to in particular?

Btw, you might want to study the section 'Managing the risks associated with making loans'.

The pdf is pretty vague about the limits of creating these loan/deposit pairs in general. But there's eg this:

> One way in which they do this is by making sure
that they attract relatively stable deposits to match their new loans, that is, deposits that are unlikely or unable to be withdrawn in large amounts. This can act as an additional
limit to how much banks can lend. For example, if all of the
deposits that a bank held were in the form of instant access
accounts, such as current accounts, then the bank might run
the risk of lots of these deposits being withdrawn in a short period of time.

In general, the limit to loan/deposit pair creation is withdrawals and transfers of the new deposits.

Btw, I agree that fractional reserve banking can create money. (Just not base money, and not without limits.)
There's typically far more monetary value in product in any weed shop than there is cash, likely by an order of magnitude. Many of the purchases are done electronically, so there's not as much cash as you might think in most dispensaries.

Even with skills there's more than meets the eye to contributing to FOSS. You usually have to be in their Discord, have survived their mods long enough for people to appreciate your presence and help you provide.

To get a PR in you have to be pretty actively using the project and be lucky enough to spot an issue worth fixing. Either that or you're going through Issues trying to find something important enough that someone isn't working on.

Let's say you find the thing, you fork the repo (because you aren't on the team) make the change, open the PR, then it's back to Discord trying to get someone to look at the PR. Sometimes a miracle happens and they approve the PR, but you still aren't allowed to merge it, gotta usually bother them one last time to merge it.

Worth it if it's a project you use all the time and you truly understand the codebase, I do this all the time with stuff I use, but nearly impossible if you're an outsider just trying to get a PR merged on something you don't use especially in a well-known repo.

> not a lot of shipped software, compared to the 'worse is better' languages such as php, javascript or c

Quantity of "shipped software" depends on many factors. Quality of the language is pretty far down the list. Take Javascript. It's usage numbers might have something to do with it being available in every browser on the planet.
You should definitely read bottle.py, while full of hack to support python2 it still a very good code base to learn about many python features.

Yes, actually. Lots of it, which has been in the open for more than 6 months. Thank you for demonstrating my point so clearly.

I'd also like to point out that the online narrative in the first 24 hours was that the hospital was "destroyed" with "500 dead" but the pictures we eventually got showed a 6 inch deep dent in the parking lot about 2 feet across and a half dozen burnt cars, plus some blown out windows and shingles. Even setting aside attribution entirely, nearly every other aspect of what was initially reported was demonstratively false or implausible within a matter of hours.

Notably, the retractions and actual evidence never went as viral as the unsubstantiated claims.
I am not just saying the original claim wasn’t universal, I’m saying it’s at most a tiny minority opinion (because it’s so extreme, taken literally).

“You should put your wishes in an advanced directive so you don’t suffer in the ICU in ~hopeless situations” (true) and “there are a non-negligible number of cases where the suffering in the ICU is not worth the modest life extension according the patient’s own values” (also true) and “the balance between life extension and quality of life errs, on average, too much toward the former” (plausibly true) are nothing like “the ICU is worse than death for most people”.
Actual harm, I think. I know that Ketamine has harm potential, but it's my impression that the physical harm only occurs with long term binge use, and that immediate physical harm due to overdose is unlikely. That the subjective effects during use are very powerful and overwhelming is not and should not be relevant, I think.

> Is there any good reason for wanting try/catch other than being lazy?

It's the best strategy for short running programs, or scripts if you will. You just write code without thinking about error handling at all. If anything goes wrong at runtime, the program aborts with a stacktrace, which is exactly you want and you get it for free.

For long-running programs you want reliability, which implies the need to think about and explicitly handle each possible error condition, making exceptions a subpar choice.

Consumer software is the farthest thing from the regulation of the products you just mentioned. Is there a gun to your head to buy a Rabbit?
Yes but the impression is largely superficial. The error handling gets the job done well enough, if crudely.
How's that Flutter's fault? Google shutting down the PlayStore account isn't really related to it at all.

And, I'm pretty sure nobody uses Flutter to write blogposts. It's usually used in highly rich/interective sites aka webapps like Rive, Google Earth etc. And it's technology and there is no boundary where innovation stops. It's not like React is the ultimate JS framework. Also, it's kind of Flutter's nature to adapt new platforms. So, I wouldn't say they lost their way. Because if my mobile app can run on Web without much tinkering, I'm signed up for it.

So, I'm honestly kind of confused with your opinion.

This document proposes a way to make all the things you mentioned legal within a regulatory framework. It suggests that we should legalize all not-for-profit growing, foraging and sharing of plant- and fungus-based psychedelics, and that we should allow commercial outlets to sell them, but with regulation on packaging and on who can operate said outlets (tobacco companies should not)
> This is an extreme assumption on your part.

It's not. As I said, that's what I take from a video where a string of people had some of the best paying jobs available to any kind of worker, and at one of the most significant companies in the world right now, but don't seem to appreciate how fortunate they were to be in that situation or that they are replaceable.

> hoping for reason and empathy to prevail

"Reason" is what will get them in trouble here. A reasonable company is unlikely to keep or re-hire disruptive employees when it has other options, and boy does it have other options right now in this tech labor market.

> being snide about it isn't helpful.

I'm not being snide. They have every right to stand up for what they believe in, and there is something noble in that regardless of whether you agree with their view. I'm just remarking on how these individuals don't seem to realize what they had and what they've likely lost.

The hardware of the quest provides significant functionality. What did the hardware on the R1 provide that isn’t on a phone already?
No, the issue is not “mugshots” bad it’s “automatic enforcement mechanisms with a very well documented tendency to produce false positives” are bad.

The issue is not “facial recognition to prevent fare dodging”, it’s facial recognition to provide “reasonable suspicion” to warrant arrest and detainment of specific groups. NYC has a long documented history of creating laws solely for the purpose of racial discrimination - “stop and frisk” laws that functionally only applied to black residents for example, IIRC it was only the lack of probable cause that did anything to limit that. Systems like this launder the racism and provide “probable cause” for unconstitutional search and seizure, as well as false imprisonment.

It also means you get subject to the stigma of being stopped and questioned by police when entering a station while the wrong race - it’s obviously worse for black Americans whom the police routinely execute because they’re scared (specifically racist claims of super human strength, claims the victims are substantially larger than they are, etc), but these systems mean you’re more likely to be falsely accused if you’re any group other than white with european descent. So obviously black people are going to be victimized here, but Pacific Islanders, Hispanic, more or less any Asian country, etc are demonstrably subject to higher false positive rates, and there’s no penalty for the false accusations or detention.
Yeah especially in that scenario. Do something super trendy with LLMs or procedural pixel art or something and do a Show HN.

Looking at nuance.js you seem to like writing libraries. The JavaScript side of AI needs lots of help with little utilities and stuff like this!

I think a project + Show HN would:

- build confidence

- get eyes and feedback on your work

- increase your legitmacy to others ultimately resulting in people contacting you

The culture around driving in the US is the problem. Many states will hand a license to pretty much anyone over 18 with nothing more than basic reading comprehension and eyesight required. Contrast this to say, the driving culture of Germany. There, everyone (not only minors) must undergo a rigorous training that is both broad and deep in scope. In addition to everything you'd expect, they also learn vehicle maintenance, basic first aid, performance driving skills (like the kind you'd pay to learn at a racetrack in the USA), and above all else, a deep respect and appreciation for the importance of following the rules of the road, leading to rigorous adherence to driving laws and etiquette that many Americans would find borderline anal-retentive.

However, the result is that I get to tell you fun facts such as the US interstate highway system having a higher rate of accidents and a higher rate of accident fatalities per vehicle-mile traveled than the Autobahn, in spite of the fact that hundreds of vehicles are hitting 180+ mph (300+ km/h) on a daily basis over there, while American highways mostly tend to be limited to 55/60/65/70/75 mph depending on state and road type.
First sentence is blatantly false. Regulation of trade and commerce between member states is the foundation and raison d’être of the European Union, exactly like the interstate commerce clause for the US federal government.

No? In his recent tutorial, Karpathy showed just how much complexity there is in the tokenizer.

This technology has been years in the making with many small advances pushing the performance ever so slightly. There’s been theoretical and engineering advances that contributed to where we are today.

Code that generates code - specifically user-specified code - has been allowed on the App Store for years now. They have a very patronizing term for it, too: "learn-to-code apps".

Granted, Apple's never going to give you the entitlements necessary to make this performant or let you create separate temporary containers for compiled apps like Swift Playgrounds can. But you can absolutely ship a dev environment on iPadOS as long as you're willing to deal with those limitations.
The article itself explains the censorship angle: "I almost wonder if this is a product of the kind of guardrails they’ve had to put on these tools so that they’re not offensive; maybe, somehow, their parameters suggest that it would be offensive to portray Jesus in a subservient position"

There are many, many situations where depicting a famous historical figure in a degrading, subservient act would be inflammatory or offensive. In fact, that's probably the default situation, imagine the reaction to any of the following images: The prophet Mohammad cleaning a toilet. Martin Luther King Jr shining a shoe. Mahatma Ghandi giving a massage to a British officer.

The unique or novel aspect of Christian lore, is that that was the whole point. Jesus famously washed the feet of "lesser" people, despite being the son of God, as a parable to teach the lesson that privileged, powerful and important people should dedicate themselves to service to the less fortunate.

The interesting situation here is an AI guardrail against "Don't show an important historical leader doing a degrading act" going against "this particular leader, did this degrading act as a central dogma lesson to his followers, and it has been a central part of writing and art about them for centuries thereafter"

PSA: This is just an article and NOT a recommendation for "meat only" diet.

Dan Buettner, an author who identified five regions around the world where people have especially long life spans, said that a diet of predominantly whole food, plant-based meals, among other practices, is what leads to a long, healthy life.

“I know of no long-lived culture in the history of the world that were mainly meat eaters,” Mr. Buettner said by phone from Italy, where he was conducting further research on the places he has dubbed “blue zones.”
I encourage people to read the whole article before commenting since it's more nuanced than the headline.
Death is not a problem that needs to be eliminated. It's fine that people eventually die. We are all expendable.

The goal of medical care should be to extend healthspan, not lifespan. Minimize the burden of diseases and injuries.

Despite the claims from charlatans and grifters like David Sinclair, there is no scientific evidence that significantly extending human lifespans is even possible. If we were making progress then we would expect to see a few outliers living to 125+. But instead the record remains at 122, and that was set in 1997. It's time to put aside pointless fantasies and focus on achievable goals.

> The labor theory of value leads to obvious problems theoretically and in practice. One critique is that it is possible to expend a large quantity of labor time on producing a good that ends up having little or no value. However, a closer reading points to the fact that commodities conforming to the LTV would have both a use-value and an exchange-value, and be reproduceable. Therefore something that has no demand in the market or with little or no use-value would not be considered a commodity according to the LTV. The same would go for a unique object such as a work of fine art, which would too be excluded. It may take one person longer than another to produce some commodity. Marx's concept of socially necessary labor time does also get around this problem.

This critique mixes the concepts of "individual value", "social value" and "price". These are entirely different things for Marx, but the comment acts as if they are the same thing. If you take too much time and effort creating something, the individual value created is wasted because the basis for exchange in society is the social value, based on the time and effort socially needed to create the item given the current technology and social organization. This is a very naive critique, answered on the first chapters of Das Kapital. Moreover, unique items can have a price, even if they do not have value (the honesty of a corrupted cop have a price if he accepts bribes, but has no value).

> A second critique is that goods that require the same amount of labor time to produce often have widely different market prices on a regular basis. Moreover, the observed relative prices of goods fluctuate greatly over time, regardless of the amount of labor time expended upon their production, and often do not maintain or tend toward any stable ratio (or natural price). According to the labor theory of value, this should be impossible, yet it is an easily observed, daily norm.

This critique is valid only for naive labor theory of value. Marx spent most of third volume in Das Kapital talking about this, and agreeing that the prices are not equal the value: these two things would be equal only if the capitalist economy was composed just by a single industry, or if the composition of different types of capital were the same for all industries. In a complex economy, with many different industries, the competition between capitalists and their search for profits causes some products to be sold below their value and others above it, as a consequence of the tendency to equalize profit rates that this competition generates. This paragraph criticizes the naive LTV from Smith and Ricardo, but not the Marxist one.

I'm not saying that JS is "just as fast as golang" generally. My argument is specifically that it's optimized to a degree that there are cases in which JS, an interpreted language, does end up on top.

The same applies to erlang and it's optimization for efficient concurrency.
