I'd like to use this transformer model in rust (because it's on the backend, because I can use data munging and it will be faster, and for other reasons). It looks like a good model! But, it doesn't compile on Apple Silicon f

Can Someone Ask ChatGPT4 If This Free Energy Idea Is Feasible

Yeah, except...your Australian idea of putting massive power plants in the Outback and de-carbonizing the atmosphere by shipping fossil fuels into the atmosphere is incredibly inefficient. Just put in small scale nuclear power plants at all

Ah - thanks. So, to anyone else that is as easily confused by the obvious as I am, you need to join the waitlist, download the browser, and also access bing through https://www.bing.com/new . Or go to Bing and click on the C

I downloaded Bing (correction - Microsoft Edge) and it's (the AI chatGPT4) not in there. I can't find the AI chatbox. When I click the big bing button (on the upper right) there's just an empty box telling me to sign up. See

No - it just has to make the returns to inputting the training data the cost of electricity plus enough money for what a starving Bangledeshi brick maker would consider prosperity. So, web development essentially.

This is frustrating. ChatGPT that everyone is so fond of is run with electricity. So are cryptocurrencies. So is <insert new toy>. Passively safe nuclear power plants! From a note I sent to another person I would like us to have free

I don't want to downplay the library, but how hard is Javascript/HTML for the majority of python programmers? You might not make the most beautiful websites, but you can make a functional website if what you're displaying is

Yeah...there's been so many papers that have been redacted for bad science that have been displayed here on HackerNews that it's disheartening. The largest startup bank goes bust because startups can't do the math, and people

wmf - I can't reply to you. So I'm writing here - you should take a look at this. https://am.jpmorgan.com/content/dam/jpm-am-aem/global/en/ins... . The fifth chart has that while SVB has 12

So there is SVB and Signature bank that have both collapsed in terms of $300 billion. If what you are saying is correct, does that mean that the banks are required to pay hire fees across the industry upwards of $300 amortized over a certai

I was reading this and came across "No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by the taxpayer." What does this "special assessment on banks" mean in practice? Do they just go to all th

by patientplatypus 4y ago
Yeah, I don't agree. SVB was so poorly capitalized that any any due diligence whatsoever should have turned up malfeasance - take a look at the JPMorgan note posted here ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35120416 ).

by patientplatypus 4y ago
This appears to be the case - the JPMorgan analyst is (paraphrasing) saying that if you did a fire sale on all of the assets of the banks in isolation the difference between their capital ratios (the amount that they have to have on hand to

From the Face The Nation transcript - MARGARET BRENNAN: For those depositors, about 85% of SVBs accounts were uninsured. And, as you were saying, a lot of different tech firms relied on them. Do you believe that depositors should be paid ba

Does anyone have any hard numbers on the risk of potential contagion in the banking sector? This is a rather large institution to go bust, and there is some discussion that a large percentage of their portfolio is composed of members that a

I would refer to my other comment. Investing in a bank always carries the risk of a bank collapse, a threat that people that are under the FDIC limit implicitly are insured against. Large stakeholders that didn't pay an asset managemen

I will add another note here, with respect to this - You're effectively paying for the lower rate of return that a treasury bill has because it's insured against risk, without being able to take advantage of that insurance. This i

Take a look at my other comment in this thread. These weren't mom and pop investors, these were institutional investors that should have known better than to invest in a bank with such a portfolio mismatch. If they didn't they sho

Yes and no. I'm going to backpedal (a little bit). It will take the FDIC looking through all of their books to determine everything that happened - with bank implosions like this there were probably people on the take who knew what was

Silicon Valley Bank had 80 billion dollars in assets, which includes funds from Venture Capital (VC) firms. If you have a billion dollars in assets (or a few 100 million) then you would hire lawyers, tax attorneys, and financial analysts to

What people don't seem to realize is that banks themselves are a form of speculative vehicle. You pay deposits to the bank, and they then invest these deposits in commercial loans. Banks are incredibly risk adverse as a rule, however,
