I guess that the major source of complexity would be that both the car need both a transmitter and a receiver, instead on only one each. But it seems like a risible source of complexity.

At the time of writing this comment I did not know that having funds stuck in long term bonds was a major factor in the collapse. I was biased to assume insolvency rather than illiquidity.

I believe that ChatGPT works by inserting some ANSWER_TOKEN, that is a prompt like "Tell me about cats" would probably produce "Tell me about cats because I like them a lot", but the interface wraps you prompt like &quot

I am not convinced by this argument* because banks can already do that. I don't think that bank are "required" to invest client's deposits, so they can already just stash paper cash in a big vault. It is clearly a dumb s

Is that 3.5% an actual figure or just an example? I admit that it is much higher than I would have expected (which was on the order of 0.1% ~ 0.01%), did SVB offer that kind of interests?

Here vacuum does not mean low pressure, it means lack of substance. If you use a strong pump to depressurize and seal a glass bottle you still get a bottle with air inside; you can easily see that there is air inside because if you submerge

What is the difference from when one year ago gas prices spiked by a likely criminal amount? To me it felt like the market collectively decided "this is a good time to squeeze our costumer and have them blame somebody else"

Do people chose banks for interests rates in saving accounts? Like do people make the financial decision to use saving account rather than stock/bonds/hedge funds as investments? As far as I understand no reasonable bank anywhere

I imagine that people are paying for insurance for these kind of things. A less risky bank is worth at least a fraction of that.
