Some of those high coupon CDs came from really distressed banks (e.g. Zion) Your observation is likely over fitting to some of the CDs tied to risker banks.

It give banks far too much leverage. If they took large losses or lent out too much, inflation would skyrocket.

back down to 4.3 for short term t-bills yields dropped almost 1 point after depositor bailouts for SVB. the running belief is that the fed will slow down in response to fixed-income positions held by banks.

I had a similar thought. It's equivalent to buying the bond that represents the debt you owe. Larger debt ends up in negotiations over the amount owed. War debt after WW1 resulted in greatly reduced repayments based on the original le

Good point. Although doesn't that defeat the purpose of structured concurrency? i.e. creating tasks that are plumbed to some background thread/executor. By directly invoking the coroutine, lifetime issues become much easier to avo

Users of coroutine-friendly libraries will have to adopt the async function coloring (co_await, co_yield, co_return, Task<T>). So saying that coroutines are low-level / not application code is misguided.

Is the high level structure of writing any more important than the low level structure? Maybe it will tend towards everyone sounding the same. Which then gets amplified as LLMs train on writing that is essentially mutations of itself. Me no

Just look at Apple's recent job postings. Here's one, but simple searching reveals the pattern: https://g.co/kgs/tV5rGG They need 1. Recommendation systems experience 2. Machine Learning 3. Auction theory 4.

Maybe as an edge case. I think this argument underestimates survival instincts.

The honest headline: Let's define "long haulers" as those exhibiting system after Y months. The percentage of long haulers is 0.25 <= X <= 1. We need to replace 0.75 with 0 <= 1 - (X / 0.25) <= 0.75

I've heard another interesting argument, at least for disruptive science/research from industry. Lower corporate taxation incentivizes the hoarding of cash. Prior, corporations were incentivized to allocate more funding towards t

Meta deploys as "microservices" with multiple monorepos... Binaries are deployed and scaled independently as thrift services. Tons of rpc.

At my bigco, there's no service-level DI (c++) Just vanilla C++ classes, and virtual interfaces if we need to mock things for unit tests. No automatic wiring of the hierarchy.

Yeah, I mean, the computation can be re-materialized. DAG may too specific. It's really a dependency graph, that likely has a DAG topology.

by mrfox321 4y ago
Sure. Open source analogue would be Apache Airflow. Abstractly, it's some directed acrylic graph (DAG) that is asynchronously computed, sometimes on a schedule. Unfortunately, most things fall under DAG. But the framework / engin

All new c++ code I work with at bigco are c++ coroutines. The underlying executors come from folly.

It's slower than a row lookup. Specifically, this model is an ensemble of decision trees. This involves 1. Row lookup 2. N (tree depth) inequality checks on fields in the row for M trees 3. Weighted sum over M trees

Your comment is off topic. D wave is not a quantum computer. It is a specialized hardware for solving certain classes of optimization problems using quantum annealing.

The part that was left out is the fact that conjugating is the group action of a group on itself. in his example, let's say there's some 3-cycle (123) the cuber knows. But really, the cuber wants to transform like (479). Conjugat

You need a large time window or error bars will be large. Annual numbers are also canon. People think on yearly timescales
