01:07 DaemonFC; schestowitz, They already talked about making 50 year mortgages.
01:08 DaemonFC; It's basically something you sign when you figure you'll die and the house can just go back to the bank then.
01:08 DaemonFC; But at that point what's even the point?
01:08 DaemonFC; You're paying to rent a house from the bank only you're responsible for fixing it, mowing the lawn, all the utilities, and the property tax.

01:20 mjg59_; schestowitz: Why do you believe that exective directors of 501(c)(3)s don't pay tax?
01:21 DaemonFC; mjg59_, So is your mortgage with First Republic Bank?
01:21 DaemonFC; I mean, you don't really have much to worry about if it is. Someone else will just buy it as a distressed asset and the terms won't change I suppose.
01:21 DaemonFC; So good for you if you did trick them I guess.
01:22 DaemonFC; Look for FRB To fail within the coming weeks, but possibly as soon as Friday evening.
01:23 DaemonFC; I looked and they were offering high rates on CDs, but not higher than other banks which are not in imminent risk of failing.
01:25 lord_bagira; yeah that FRC drop is a falling knife that keeps cutting
01:26 lord_bagira; i bought deep into PACW and FRC about 2 months ago
01:26 DaemonFC; Why FRC?
01:26 DaemonFC; It was pretty obvious what was coming.
01:27 lord_bagira; high risk/reward ratio
01:27 lord_bagira; i bought mostly into PACW but had a couple grand into FRC
01:27 DaemonFC; They're about to be a failed bank.
01:27 lord_bagira; not necessarily
01:27 DaemonFC; I wouldn't even buy them at $8.
01:27 lord_bagira; they got the right liquidity in the right amounts at the right time
01:27 lord_bagira; its all investor sentiment at this point
01:27 DaemonFC; It's pretty much just fake liquidity.
01:28 DaemonFC; Chase isn't going to tolerate unlimited losses on them.
01:29 lord_bagira; i think they'll pull through
01:29 lord_bagira; the only thing im spooked about with FRC is that they're talking about selling real estate to close the gap
01:30 lord_bagira; when distressed companies sell revenue generating holdings during a falling knife they generally don't recover to prices prior to the fall
01:30 lord_bagira; <DaemonFC> But at that point what's even the point? | equity.
01:31 DaemonFC; That should tell you how bad things are getting.
01:31 DaemonFC; If they had other options to raise cash they wouldn't do this.
01:32 DaemonFC; It's like killing the hen that's laying the eggs so you can eat the hen today.
01:32 DaemonFC; At the cost of never having eggs from that hen again.
01:32 lord_bagira; yep
01:32 lord_bagira; if they do sell assets im pulling out and taking the L
01:33 lord_bagira; if they don't, they'll pull through and ill make a buncha money
01:33 lord_bagira; PACW is climbing back slower than i thought they would
01:33 DaemonFC; There's more damage to the banking system than anyone is willing to admit.
01:34 lord_bagira; god damn i lost thousands today
01:34 DaemonFC; I believe there will be a string of failures and consolidations.
01:34 DaemonFC; When these things go, it's usually something that plays out over 2-3 years.
01:34 lord_bagira; i haven't lost like this since the covid crash
01:34 DaemonFC; And leads ot dozens or hundreds of failures.
01:35 lord_bagira; looks like the whole market is down
01:36 DaemonFC; Ally Financial isn't ruined.
01:36 DaemonFC; But their earnings have been trimmed by more than half vs. last quarter.
01:36 DaemonFC; Ouch.
01:36 lord_bagira; ally's gonna choke to death slowly
01:37 lord_bagira; another one that hasn't been price-stable since the covid crash
01:38 DaemonFC; I was looking at the wrong screen.
01:38 DaemonFC; Annual, not quarterly.
01:38 DaemonFC; Derp
01:38 DaemonFC; <lord_bagira> another one that hasn't been price-stable since the covid crash
01:38 DaemonFC; Auto loans.
01:39 DaemonFC; I keep hearing about exposure to auto loans.
01:39 lord_bagira; im surprised the poors are still getting access to credit
01:39 DaemonFC; People don't generally default on the way they get to work if they can avoid it.
01:39 DaemonFC; <lord_bagira> im surprised the poors are still getting access to credit
01:39 DaemonFC; Our available credit is about as much as our annual income.
01:40 lord_bagira; ehhhhhhhh
01:40 DaemonFC; So they don't really seem to mind making available 100% debt-to-income ratio if you want to use it.
01:40 lord_bagira; after a certain amount the ratios are way way different

01:41 DaemonFC; Well, they like to say rich people get credit cards with no limit.
01:41 psydruid; lies, lies and more lies?
01:41 DaemonFC; But there is a limit.
01:41 lord_bagira; like a person who makes 130k can afford way more than 130k in debt, more easily than someone who makes 60k borrowing 60k
01:41 DaemonFC; They just don't tell you what it is.
01:41 lord_bagira; like i could easily get a half million dollar mortgage i just wouldn't be stupid enough to do that
01:42 DaemonFC; They'll do 100% of your income if your credit is good enough.
01:42 DaemonFC; Even if you make $50,000.
01:42 DaemonFC; My spouse's FICO is 792.
01:42 DaemonFC; I have a bankruptcy on my credit score.
01:43 lord_bagira; how do you get a 792 on a teacher salary
01:43 DaemonFC; They issue cards to him, I'm using the cards.
01:43 DaemonFC; Paying your bills.
01:43 DaemonFC; I had an 806 before the bankruptcy.
01:43 DaemonFC; On FICO 8.
01:43 lord_bagira; thats really good
01:43 DaemonFC; Yeah, he has a 792 because they don't realize it's me.
01:44 DaemonFC; The way it works is he applies for a card, you tell them what your household income is.
01:44 DaemonFC; He adds me as an authorized user.
01:44 DaemonFC; Then I add him on my cards as an authorized user.
01:44 DaemonFC; Then we have so many cards that all these accounts with a perfect payment history show up.
01:44 DaemonFC; Boom.
01:45 DaemonFC; From no credit score to 792 in 36 months.
01:45 DaemonFC; And in my case, from 540 exiting bankruptcy, to 668.
01:45 DaemonFC; So three years later, we could sign on a mortgage and get a decent rate because the bank would consider the totality.
01:46 DaemonFC; Decent being....decent considering what interest rates are now.
01:46 DaemonFC; FICO has almost nothing to do with wealth.
01:47 DaemonFC; It's about paying your bills, having a lot of accounts, low utilization ratios, and multiple types of credit.
01:47 DaemonFC; A lot of people emerging from bankruptcy take on a credit builder loan, which is a mistake and a scam.
01:47 DaemonFC; You should go after a secured credit card instead. Discover gave me my deposit back after 5 months and upped my limit.
01:47 DaemonFC; And get your spouse to add you as an authorized user on theirs.
01:48 DaemonFC; Credit builder loans only make it look like you have a payment history on something, but every creditor knows what those are and what they look like, and they don't respect that.
01:48 DaemonFC; Because it's not real.
01:49 DaemonFC; And because FICO considers utilizations and total open accounts, as soon as your last payment goes in, the account closes and you have no limit and no outstanding debt on an open account anymore.
01:49 DaemonFC; So your credit just shoots right back down. It's like paying off a car loan.
01:50 DaemonFC; lord_bagira, There's also things you can do that aren't exactly "credit" but you can raise your score a bit anyway.
01:50 DaemonFC; Like those "Boosted" scores that consider your Netflix bills and phone and internet payments.
01:50 DaemonFC; By watching your bank account.
01:50 DaemonFC; I haven't used that.
01:50 DaemonFC; I suspect I could probably get Experian up over 800 for him if I did.
01:51 DaemonFC; If you watch how the system reacts to things, you get very good at giving it what it wants.

01:53 DaemonFC; "However, management noted that delinquencies in the first quarter came in elevated compared to earlier expectations, which could present headwinds in the future. The bank has set aside enough reserves to cover losses of as much as 3.6% on the entire retail auto book. The current charge-off rate is 1.68% and the current 30-day delinquency rate is 3.24%. Management also said it doesn't expect to build its reserve levels from here because it
01:53 DaemonFC; isn't expecting much balance sheet growth this year, as it tightens underwriting and approval rates."
01:53 DaemonFC; That's probably why they started dialing back their CD rates.
01:53 DaemonFC; The fact that they don't plan on writing as many auto loans is telling.
01:53 DaemonFC; They think their previous standards were too loose.
01:53 DaemonFC; And they don't want more borrowers at the bottom.
01:54 DaemonFC; lord_bagira, Well, there's always reasons to want more deposits.

05:42 schestowitz; i spoke to some people and asked
05:42 schestowitz; did intel assure you salary would go bakc up?
05:42 schestowitz; like, did they write it down on paper?
05:42 schestowitz; verbal memo?
05:42 schestowitz; legally assured?
05:42 schestowitz; nothing.
05:43 schestowitz; they can always say, "ok, maybe next year"
05:43 schestowitz; and one say, "sorry, you are made redundant"
05:43 schestowitz; so the people there work harder
05:43 schestowitz; for maybe 5% less than years ago
05:43 schestowitz; while inflation is like 10%
05:43 DaemonFC; INTEL has puked back up all of their gains for the last 9 years.
05:43 schestowitz; in one case, even 20% less than before
05:43 schestowitz; so then you factor in inflation
05:43 schestowitz; and it's like 30-40% paycut

08:31 mjg59_; schestowitz: Why do you think it's ok to make obviously untrue claims in your headlines?
08:32 DaemonFC; mjg59_, Why do you stay on Twitter when you complain on Twitter that Elon Musk i a transphobe and is making it a safe space for them?
08:33 DaemonFC; Seems like you should delete your Twitter account if it bothers you that much.
08:33 DaemonFC; Why do you support transphobia?
08:36 DaemonFC; Is it okay to stay on a transphobe-friendly site?
08:36 DaemonFC; If so, why not join Gab too?
08:36 DaemonFC; And Truth Social?
08:37 mjg59_; DaemonFC: My entire use of Twitter is to use it to complain about Elon
08:37 DaemonFC; Seems substantial.
08:37 DaemonFC; And by being there, you're saying it's acceptable.
08:37 DaemonFC; If you believed that strongly about something, you would delete your account.
08:38 mjg59_; I'm saying it's ok to use a space run by a transphobe to drag said transphobe
08:38 DaemonFC; But you "engage" with it and make his platform more viable, right?
08:38 mjg59_; He makes no money from me. There's no way you could read my tweets and end up with the impression I was endorsing Twitter.
08:38 DaemonFC; He makes money with you.
08:38 DaemonFC; Ads show up in your Twitter feed.
08:38 mjg59_; No they don't
08:39 DaemonFC; Why is that?
08:39 mjg59_; Because I block them
08:39 DaemonFC; What about the people who follow you?
08:39 mjg59_; They'd get ads whether or not I still had an account
08:39 mjg59_; Nobody at this point is following me for the things I post
08:39 mjg59_; It's just inertia

09:05 DaemonFC; mjg59_, So do you think it was funny that a couple days after that guy upstairs was beating his girlfriend (while ignoring the court notices about numerous shoplifting charges) that he got ran over by a person running a red light in a stolen car?
09:05 DaemonFC; This is what we call a self-solving problem.
09:06 DaemonFC; Maybe if the police here actually enforced the law, it wouldn't have ended like that.
09:08 mjg59_; DaemonFC: The one asserting that the executive director of a 501(c)(3) receives tax-free income
09:08 DaemonFC; Context please.
09:08 mjg59_; 21:05 < techrights-news> Software Freedom Conservancy is Selling Verbal Thank-Yous So That Its Chief Can Earn a Quarter Million Dollars Per Year, Tax-Free
09:08 DaemonFC; There are ways to get income and pay no taxes.
09:09 DaemonFC; Was it a stock sale perhaps?
09:09 mjg59_; No
09:09 DaemonFC; Paid in stock, no long term capital gains.
09:09 DaemonFC; (Paid in stock somewhere else, that is.)
09:10 DaemonFC; I don't know how they'd pull in money tax-free then.
09:10 mjg59_; Receiving stock as compensation involves you paying tax on the current value of the stock, and capital gains only applying to the difference in price between the point where you obtained the stock and the point where you sell it
09:10 DaemonFC; Even "gifts" from your employer are usually taxable.
09:11 mjg59_; Right. She's not receiving tax-free income
09:11 mjg59_; And Roy's been corrected on this in the past
09:11 mjg59_; After making the same claim about the same person
09:11 mjg59_; But still, he proceeds
09:11 DaemonFC; mjg59_, Yes, I declare the "gift" of the bonus stock each year.
09:11 DaemonFC; That's taxable.
09:11 DaemonFC; But that's easy to do.
09:12 DaemonFC; Because it's reflected in your W-2.
09:13 DaemonFC; It's still a good deal.
09:13 mjg59_; He seems to be confusing the tax-free benefits of the income to a non-profit with the idea that their employees are then also not taxed
09:14 DaemonFC; I don't see how they'd avoid tax. If the place pays them a salary, it has to issue a W-2. If it gives them a free apartment or food, that's income.
09:14 DaemonFC; There's very few things the IRS will allow an employer to give you, tax-free.
09:15 DaemonFC; There's only really a few cases where your employer can give you something and it's not taxable.
09:15 DaemonFC; If it comps you for meals or gives you a hotel room to stay at during a business trip, that's not taxable iirc.
09:16 DaemonFC; mjg59_, I love it when some food industry worker gets a free lunch, then the company puts it on their W-2.
09:16 DaemonFC; A fucking sandwich during their shift, on their W-2!
09:17 DaemonFC; The interesting thing was when John worked at the hospital.
09:17 DaemonFC; They gave him an employee discount at the hospital cafeteria and it didn't affect his taxes.

09:20 schestowitz; in a bad way?
09:20 DaemonFC; Rush Limbaugh always called it the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals.
09:20 DaemonFC; At the time, it was mostly Democrats and it was the most overruled appeals court in the country.
09:21 DaemonFC; It's still far too big.

14:15 TR Bot; What characters are forbidden in Windows and Linux directory names? - Stack Overflow
14:16 schestowitz; it's not just counterintuitive
14:16 schestowitz; it's hallmark of AWFUL design
14:16 schestowitz; in Linux you can have whitespaces
14:16 schestowitz; but it's not advised
14:17 schestowitz; as it can lead to ambiguity in the CLI
14:17 schestowitz; then you have the Windows case insensitivity lunacy
14:17 schestowitz; anyway, Linux is better engineered than Windows
14:17 schestowitz; at every levelk
14:17 schestowitz; because it's made by geeks
14:17 schestowitz; mikcrosoft is made by a cult
14:17 MinceR; MICROS~1 and dehomag are fixing that already
14:17 schestowitz; apropsos, ENGINE~1
14:17 schestowitz; MinceR: they tried
14:17 schestowitz; it's a "mode"
14:17 schestowitz; they didd it like 8 years ago
14:17 MinceR; they haven't stopped
14:17 schestowitz; i never saw that
14:18 schestowitz; gobolinux tried it
14:18 schestowitz; no updates in ages
14:18 schestowitz; so that distro died
14:18 schestowitz; case insensitive
14:19 immibis; in linux you can't have / but you can have newlines and backspaces, and the file can't be exclusively accessible to 2 people. Don't act like Linux has any better design.
14:19 psydruid; micro$uck is better at growing microCoCs

14:21 MinceR; what's aio
14:21 immibis; do you know how io_uring is implemented
14:21 immibis; do you know how aio is implemented
14:21 immibis; it just spawns a thread for you and does the IO synchronously
14:21 psydruid; no, micro$uck can $uck it
14:21 MinceR; do you know how anything in windows is implemented
14:21 psydruid; if it works, it works
14:21 psydruid; at least it doesn't eat itself
14:21 immibis; yes, I/O Request Packets
14:21 immibis; the I/O is asynchronous all the way through
14:21 MinceR; that's not implementation, that's a buzzword
14:21 psydruid; CoCword
14:22 immibis; sounds like MinceR doesn't know how anything in windows is implemented
14:22 MinceR; nobody does
14:22 psydruid; windows is irrelevant
14:22 immibis; an IRP is the structure that holds the state of an asynchronous operation in progress
14:22 MinceR; even MICROS~1 can't fix windows anymore, they just add more and more layers of cruft on top
14:22 immibis; that is true, but the core is still better designed than linux
14:23 psydruid; the theory is better
14:23 MinceR; but they've taken over Linux so maybe they'll replace windows with it
14:23 immibis; I remind you that the equivalent thing on linux to what you're talking about is... systemd
14:23 psydruid; the practice is disappointing
14:23 MinceR; immibis: you have great jokes for us
14:23 psydruid; and toy-like
14:23 immibis; you can't say linux is doing better when systemd exists
14:23 immibis; and people actually use it
14:23 psydruid; go and use your toy NT then
14:24 psydruid; systemd is the result of infiltration by micro$ofters

22:20 TR Bot; blocks Microsoft's $69 billion Activision deal over cloud gaming concerns | Reuters
22:20 DaemonFC; :D
22:20 DaemonFC; schestowitz, ^
22:21 DaemonFC; Shares in Activision, which also makes "Candy Crush", "Overwatch" and "World of Warcraft", fell nearly 12% to $76.65, moving further from Microsoft's offer price of $95 per share. The video-game publisher was set to erase nearly $8 billion in market valuation, if the losses hold.
22:23 DaemonFC; "If Microsoft throws in the towel, it would free up more than $60 billion in cash flow to either return to investors or make investments in AI-related offerings, he noted."
22:23 DaemonFC; LOL
22:24 DaemonFC; Well, it's dead. (The Activision deal.)
22:24 DaemonFC; MOAR CHAFFBOT!!!
22:24 schestowitz; HEY HI

22:24 schestowitz; HEY HI GAMES
22:30 DaemonFC; schestowitz, I had a weird dream today.
22:32 DaemonFC; I was sitting in a comfortable recliner chair, opposite my psychiatrist, and there was a floor and all of the furniture you might expect in a room, but there were no walls or ceiling, and the surrounding area was just like, deep space. Nothing visible except blackness and what you might expect to see, you know stars off a long way in the distance. And I was just, you know, basically shooting the shit about how I felt about things.
22:32 DaemonFC; It was just so weird.
22:33 DaemonFC; I noticed I have weird dreams while taking cholesterol medicine.
22:33 DaemonFC; Things that are oddly specific and like you're awake and it's all happening.
22:36 DaemonFC; schestowitz, So this Hugging Chat thing does use parts of GPT.

22:38 DaemonFC; It's not open source. They have some sort of weird XOR obfuscation done on the language model before they publish it because Facebook's data license does not allow them to give you a straight up copy.
22:38 DaemonFC; AdmFubar, Good!
22:39 DaemonFC; A tractor should be easy to fix. 30-40 years ago, they were.
22:39 DaemonFC; You turned them on and used them.
22:39 DaemonFC; Like how cars used to work.
22:39 DaemonFC; schestowitz, I'm considering buying a 1987 Ford Crown Victoria.
22:40 DaemonFC; One of the priests who is in his 90s has it and doesn't drive and he's fairly well to do anyway so isn't terribly concerned with running up the sale price.

22:40 DaemonFC; He's had it garaged. It doesn't have any rust or anything on it. It only has a little over 44,000 miles on the odometer.
22:41 DaemonFC; I was thinking about running it by my mechanic and putting a fuel injection upgrade on it.
22:42 DaemonFC; If it doesn't have it already.
22:42 DaemonFC; There were two V8s that were quite different that year.
22:42 DaemonFC; The older one just has a carb on it.

23:13 psydruid; or does it mean those people are getting fired?

23:15 AdmFubar; closing the office to save money as revenue falls...
23:17 psydruid; closing your headquarters
