I think your logic comes up a bit short because you are basically saying that a bank was accomodating a customer who was generally unloved and then the customer just pulled their funds out because...?

I think SVB's actual failure was triggered by their lousy balance sheet which got pinched once the fed finally brought interest rates higher. Once customers saw the consequences of this, they left.
When it comes to skeuomorphism, this really is the last stage in the precession of the simulacra. First you have the original thing based in reality (writing todo notes on paper). Then you have the first order unfaithful copy (skeuomorphic imitation). Next you have the second order version that masks the absence of the original thing (removal of skeuomorphism and integration of other functionality, you're no longer using a computer to replace writing down notes, you're using it in its own right). Finally, you have the pure simulacrum with no relation to reality whatsoever. That todo notepad pretending to be a computer app that doesn't exist when actual notepad-like games (like crosswords) still exist.

Not so much sad as just kinda funny I think.
In defense of them, 99% capacity retention after 10,000 cycles is still much better.

I wonder if they are quoting unrealistic 0-100% numbers and you are quoting realistic 20-80%. If so, and you multiply the Li capacity by 0.6, I wonder how far off aluminum's (undisclosed) density is.

On an unrelated note, I’m surprised that lithium is only 4x the price of aluminum. They’re both incredibly common elements, but lithium extraction is harder for a lot of reasons.
I don't think your comment fully considers the recent history of presidential power. Biden argued in court against Trump to not consolidate power at the executive level. He was against Trump's idea of presidential immunity. Then he refused to use the power given to him, and on his way out of office implored the country to reconsider.

He also signed into law bills that were passed explicitly to reduce the president's power because of the way he saw Trump abuse it.

You may agree with these ideas now, but you should go through thr proper channels to get rid of them. Otherwise, things you like will just disappear by fiat the first time a progressive is in office.
Not just that, but one central institution can employ experts and do studies due to the larger budget. 50 small ones are just going to scrape by with the minimum.

Maybe there's a middle ground where states can have local-overrides - if their residents agree.
Yeah I agree with this. Local news sources work as a good filter, only bringing national stories that have a local effect, plus you get more local news, plus your subscription goes to a news room of probably no more than a few dozen people who live in the same area as you depending on what city or state you're in.

If the creator shows up (or if anyone else knows), can you shed some light on how exactly the Print and Play editions work? The product pages do not have enough information, unfortunately. After you pay, do you just get a static PDF with X number of pages? Or do the PDFs contain Javascript to generate new levels? Or does the website generate your PDFs for you, with a random seed if you ask it to? If so, how many times can you do it?

If it's like a regular YT video and monetized as such, there's going to be regular ad breaks... which effectively makes it just like watching a film on cable TV, and I suspect the amount they would earn is similar. Although iirc a cable channel would pay a fixed amount for the syndication rights, then their profit would be from ads in turn, in this case the profits would go straight to the publisher after Youtube takes its cut.

If a legal activity is heavily overrepresented by financial crime, as crypto is, it would be incredibly irresponsible not to take action from a regulatory level.

A full-stop is surely overboard, but a pause on business related to this activity until mitigation strategies are implemented seems reasonable to me.

For a microcosm example, I work in fintech and have had to pause all gift card processing on payment gateways due to insecure/improperly implemented payment forms belonging to integrators being used to test stolen gift cards or do refund scams.

Perhaps not widely known – there are two autonomous regions in Myanmar governed by the "Wa State" which is not recognized by the international community but is very much in control of their territory.

It is financed almost entirely by crime. First through growing poppy that became heroin, then through enormous meth labs, and now also through crypto and digital scams.

The GDP of the autonomous region exceeds the GDP of the recognized Myanmar territory, despite having something like 10% of the population.

Also of interest – the ethnic subgroup that controls the region were literal head hunters up until the mid 20th century! Through a combination of CIA operations, evangelical Christianity, and the CCP (all in conflicting power struggles), the Wa people swore off head hunting and "modernized".

Anyways, there's a very interesting book about the history here called Narcotopia [1]for those interested. It uses as a primary source one of the key actors in the modernization, and as a result is incredibly biased. But super interesting nevertheless.

I strongly agree with the conclusion that the libraries should reject input they can't correctly handle instead of silently truncating it.

I co-maintain a rate-limiting library that had some similar rough edges, where it wouldn't always be obvious that you were doing it wrong. (For example: limiting the IP of your reverse proxy rather than the end user, or the inverse: blindly accepting any X-Forwarded-For header, including those potentially set by a malicious user.) A couple years back, I spent some time adding in runtime checks that detect those kinds of issues and log a warning. Since then, we've had a significant reduction in the amount of not-a-bug reports and, I assume, significantly fewer users with incorrect configurations.
From what I saw, people did that years and years ago. What happens when that isn’t sufficient?

Some very technical people were requested to delete a historically important dataset. We, the hackers, are the ones people ask to make things like this actually happen.
I've been skimming the first bit of this huge, heavily redacted PDF, and what I see so far is no discrimination against people but things of the form:

- "if you are going to offer these services, please explain how you will comply with existing rules XYZ"

- "you may not imply that crypto services are FDIC insured because they are not"

- "you tried to claim you NFT involvement was like buying art for the branch, but you're still offering it to customers [i.e. you lied to the FDIC in your last letter]"

Would be good if people could find things they're complaining about in the actual PDF, rather than generally re-litigating anecdotes.

(US AML law is pretty onerous, but it's not really up to the banks or even the FDIC as to whether or not to comply with the law!)

I haven't seen any streamers who officially put their sub emotes on BTTV/FFZ/7TV and enable them in their channel, so if anything they end up supplementing the sub emotes rather than providing a reason to avoid subscribing.

Twitch could increase sub emote limits, but I'm not sure they would want to. Many emotes on FFZ et al are memes used in hundreds of channels and could not be used on Twitch even if copyright was not a concern due to violating many of the other sub emote guidelines:

https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/emote-guidelines?language=e...

So Twitch has no real reason to try and compete on this front. They just don't officially support it, which means anyone using the official Twitch app or not using any browser extensions will only see them as weird text in the chat. If Twitch updates the layout and breaks the extensions, the extensions will adapt, so power users get a ton of extra features at no cost to Twitch.

While these services make money riding Twitch's coattails, anyone willing to pay for the premium tiers of these services is likely either a streamer who wants to load up more meme emotes for their chat to use (increases engagement) or is the kind of power user who subscribes to multiple streamers at tier 2 or 3, so I doubt they hurt Twitch's bottom line. If anything, going to war with these extensions would likely hurt their bottom line since features like FFZ's audio compressor make many streamers' terrible audio settings listenable.
A lot of the widely popular s1mp3s could play Ogg, FLAC, APE, WMA, and a few other obscure formats (as well as plain uncompressed WAV) but I think the real reason was a lack of availability - except for the anti-patent/FOSS purists, and some MS fans using WMA, everyone else was using MP3.

Both reasons apply. There's probably orders of magnitude more learning material for the 6502, and the 65816 is strictly more complicated than the 6502 because it has the entire feature set of a 6502 plus modifications like register size flags and new addressing modes.

Show HN: Garnix modules – CI and hosting rethought
Hi HN!

We're the team behind garnix, and today we're releasing the beta of garnix modules. Check it out at: https://garnix.io/modules.

In some ways garnix modules should be very familiar: it's a CI and hosting platform, related to Heroku, Render, Fly.io, and Railway. But it's also been rethought from the ground up in order to provide a lot of advantages over these platforms:

- CI isn't an afterthought: garnix modules is meant to be the better choice even if you aren't deploying anything at all, just running CI. No need to learn and integrate two systems (e.g. GitHub Actions and Fly.io)

- Caching of builds and dependencies happens automatically: This means, most obviously, faster rebuilds without extra work.

- Caching works across repos and organizations: If someone built it, you don't have to.

- Easy to reproduce CI locally: Not only does this make development faster, but also spares you from vendor lock-in.

- CI doubles as a build-farm: When you "build" locally too, if CI built it, it'll just be substituted.

- Provides you with a development shell: Containing everything you need to build and test your project, as well as the development tools you pick.

- Web server deployments are zero-downtime: At least if they're not using persistence, we won't switch traffic over until your app successfully started.

- Easy VMs: You can start VMs locally reproducing your deployments. You can even create images if you want to deploy yourself, again reducing vendor lock-in

- Tens of thousands of packages to choose from: For development shell and for your deployed server.

The way we managed to make all this work heavily using Nix and NixOS under the hood. But you don't need to know any Nix at all: that's where the modules come in. They replace the Nix code with simple forms. (It is advantageous, though not necessary, to install Nix - it gets you the local development shell, for example. But all you need to know are one or two commands.)

garnix has existed for a while before modules came along (i.e., as a tool for Nix users), so other parts of it are more stable. But we're very quickly adding new features and stacks to modules.

We'd love to hear what you think!

There is a hyperparameter `s` in scalable softmax.

SSoftMax_i = exp(s log(n) z_i) / sum (n is length of embedding).

Normal softmax (with temperature)

SoftMax_i = exp(z_i / T) / sum (T is the temperature).

Here Temperature is a hyperparameter. Having a temperature as hyperparameter does not seem too different to me than having `s` as a hyperparameter. I personally don't understand the benefits of SSoftMax. During hyperparameter search you would find the optimal `s` as you might find the optimal temperature `T`.
