Yes, but I haven't seen anything from AI technology to suggest it's going to live up to the hype in the short term. I'm not saying Burry is completely accurate in this case, but the draw down could be quite big.

GPT-4 was released in early 2023. Back then AI maximalists were saying AGI is near. We're approaching early 2026 and we obviously aren't anywhere close to anything any reasonable person would consider AGI. But what do we have? "Agents" that are mostly useless. Image and video clip content generators that are pretty much only good for social media memes and spam. We do have better software development tools, but that's not a life changing advancement.

It seems like in order for all this speculation and all these massive build-outs to pay off we're going to need AI to redefine how we work and live within the next 3-5 years. Even if we AI development doubles or triples what it's been able to do in the last 3-5 years, I don't see this happening.

So, when this does not happen, when the AI hype does not live up to the promises, by a longshot, what will happen to the markets?

> Security? MUCH worse.

Comparing single-purpose declarative language that is not even really turing-complete with all the ugly hacks needed to make DOM/JS reasonably secure does not make any sense.

Exactly what you can abuse in XSLT (without non-standard extensions) in order to do anything security relevant? (DoS by infinite recursion or memory exhaustion does not count, you can do the same in JS...)

Really? Maybe a decade ago, but now? He cannot keep a coherent thought for more than a few seconds, so every speech is a fucking rambling mess. Even subtitles cannot help make sense of it most of the time.

> - his success is built on his charisma

Bullshitter sales people can be very charming at times, I will give you that.

In 1986, I lived a mile or so from where a mid-air collision sent a DC-9 crashing into a neighborhood, which killed 15 people on the ground: https://www.presstelegram.com/2016/08/30/cerritos-plane-cras...

Every time I board a plane, I think what a crazy thing I am doing, but then I remember that I could be safe and snug in my house and still be in a plane crash.

All right, I guess I see your point. If you company doesn't handle the complexity, it can be a nightmare.

Where I've worked, they withhold the necessary number of shares from RSU's and it just gets taxed as W-2 income. Then, it shows up with the taxed cost basis in Fidelity so you don't get double taxed when selling shares. It doesn't appear like they have to factor in travel into that equation - that's only for your salary.

As far as options, it was similar where I was receiving them. The only issue I ever had exercising options was when the company whose stock I was trading changed names, and then the IRS suddenly believed all those options were 0 cost basis and wanted a bunch of money. That took two rounds of letters and a call to HR to get sorted out. Granted - laws have changed since then - that fiasco was 18 years ago.

> IMHO, this is a perfect example why the government needs to regulate prices in safety-critical industries. The "race to the bottom" must be prevented - sorry, flying NYC-SFO for 70$, that's not sustainable.

Are you saying higher prices would lead to better safety?

If so, I think it's optimistic to assume that would be the result, rather than just more profits.

I'm all for tighter regulations and enforcement on safety and maintenance, though.

I think the answer is very obvious here: Debug should not omit fields. serde should not skip fields. Which means that there needs to be a way to put flowinfo into textual representation. Since there are already incompatibilities in how ipv6 addresses are handled ("%enp4s0f0" is supported by ping but not by Rust), might as well make something up, like "1234::5678%9-Q0x42". Tools like "ping" accept "-Q 0x42" option already, so most network engineers would be able to guess what does "-Q0x42" tacked to the end of address means.

Since this is backward-compatible when QoS is not set, I'd just change Display to emit it. But I am guessing some people may complain, so special implementation for Debug would work too...

He's not trying to influence anything - he's trying to safeguard Wikipedia's stated neutral point-of-view policy.

His statement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Gaza_genocide#Statement_f...

Whatever your point of view is, he explains clearly why the article is biased:

> At present, the lede and the overall presentation state, in Wikipedia’s voice, that Israel is committing genocide, although that claim is highly contested. This is a violation of WP:NPOV and WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV that requires immediate correction.

> A neutral approach would begin with a formulation such as: “Multiple governments, NGOs, and legal bodies have described or rejected the characterization of Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide.”

One thing to remember with 13F filings is that funds are required to report the full value of their option positions as if they were delta 1.

Some outlets then took this and wrote the story that Burry has a short bet of billions on NVIDA and Palentir.

His put's are most likely well out of the money so their delta is no where near 1 so his bet is far smaller than places are reporting just due to how the SEC requries funds to report their holdings on 13F filings.

Yes but mostly related to purpose specific things: passenger carriers have additional safety checks for cabin things like seats, oxygen and evacuation systems. Cargo carriers have additional safety checks for things like cargo restraint and decompression systems.

Furthermore (and I don't know if this is related to the cause of this crash), cargo jets tend to be older/refurbished passenger planes that have outlived their useful lives flying passengers.

Hah! Maybe for now, but I'll probably pass that with a few more posts I have in the works. They're related to some projects I have going (that I will eventually finish), which means more photos.

What I really need to do is standardize my format and size, just to make things a bit more visually tidy. I'm not all that interested in keeping below a certain size, more so that I'm not doing anything I consider unnecessary for the function and feel of the site. Fairly certain whatever readership I have is either related to me or people I play D&D with, so it's really just a fun thing for me to do once in awhile.

In my opinion this is not “we agree lets remove it”. This is “we agree to explore the idea”.

Google and Freed using this as a go ahead because the Mozilla guy pasted a pollyfill. However it is very clearly NOT an endorsement to remove it, even though bad actors are stating so.

> Our position is that it would be good for the long-term health of the web platform and good for user security to remove XSLT, and we support Chromium's effort to find out if it would be web compatible to remove support1. If it turns out that it's not possible to remove support, then we think browsers should make an effort to improve the fundamental security properties of XSLT even at the cost of performance.

Freed et al also explicitly chose to ignore user feedback for their own decision and not even try to improve XSLT security issues at the cost of performance.

These are puts, you buy them, they have a fixed expiration date at which point they will be worthless if the price is above the strike price.

Fixed down side, upside is $100 per contract per dollar the stock is below the strike at expiry. You can also sell them before then, and price depends on time to expiry, volatility, and distance to the strike price. See Black-Scholes model for more info.

I woldn't go so far as to say it was "prophetic". Contemporary DEC PDP-8 (OMNIBUS) and PDP-11 (UNIBUS / QBUS) systems have a similar approach to "interoperability", where cards for peripherals were also mapped into the machine's address space. It was great that Woz saw the utility of this and brought it into the homebrew/microcomputer design.

++spy ethos and ideas

But why limit to an interpreter? Translate to other excellent compiled languages and benefit from the optimization work there.

Giving up on C-API and the dynamic parts of python that 1% of the people use is a good trade-off.

In the age of cursor and windsurf it's not hard to auto replace incompatible code with something that works in the static-py ecosystem.

Would love to participate in an effort to standardize such a subset.

> preview at 100% OS scaling on a non-retina display.

Yeah, I feel like anyone who is serious enough to purchase a display like this ought to have a secondary display connected just for previewing their work on a "cheap" consumer device. It should be always available so that it only takes a few seconds to preview changes in the "worst-case" scenario by dragging a window over. It's why (good) phone devs test their apps on multi-year old devices.

This is why people working in pro-audio test mixes in lots of environments. Sure, it sounds great in a treated studio. How does it sound in the car? How about on headphones? What about on the built-in speaker on your phone? You want to hear the mix in the widest and most compromising scenarios to truly understand how well it holds up. Very few people have top-of-the-line hardware and most of your audience presumably don't.

> Computing machines are instruments of creativity, companions in learning, and partners in thought. They should amplify human intention.

An admirable goal. However putting that next to a bunch of AI slop artwork and this statement...

> One of our goals is to explore how an A.I.-native computer system can enhance the creative process, all while keeping data private.

...is comically out of touch.

The intersection between "I want simple and understandable computing systems" and "I want AI" is basically zero. (Yes, I'm sure some of you exist, my point is that you're combining a slim segment of users who want this approach to tech with another slim segment of users who want AI.)

The entropic demise.

Something must come along that devours or is devoured. That is the natural progression.

You have touched upon something no doubt. There is a natural rule that nothing good lasts forever, and it leaves things to those of us who will try to get a good decade in here and there.

Appreciate what you have before it’s depleted. You never know who will bankrupt themselves next, or will rise from obscurity to give us just what we want and need, before that too fades to our oblivion.

That’s actually great feedback. The “wolf” angle was meant to make Vance feel a bit more personal and less like another cold SaaS tool, but I get how it can come off as gimmicky or even confusing if you’re seeing it for the first time. Appreciate you calling that out.

The idea is to build something that actually feels alive, not a form or dashboard but yeah, totally hear you on the trust side. We’ll definitely tone down the fluff and focus on clarity. And you’re right about WhatsApp, it’s mainly because we started in India where it’s the default messaging app. We’re thinking of giving users the ability to call Vance directly and reach out on LinkedIn.

Appreciate you checking it out (even if it wasted a few minutes). Thanks for being honest.

> His track record since “the big short” has been horrific.

You would expect that with low probability, highly leveraged bets, which shorts largely are. You are wrong most of the time and then make a giant pile of money when you are right. People definitely should understand that strategy though and not just follow him blindly into investments without the expectation that you will probably lose your money almost every time.

The obese and smokers actually cost less because they die early vs healthy people who live a long life and need a lot of care when they're aged.

"Smoking was associated with a moderate decrease in healthcare costs, and a marked decrease in pension costs due to increased mortality." https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/2/6/e001678

The UK did a study and they found that from the three biggest healthcare risks; obesity, smoking, and alcohol, they realize a net savings of £22.8 billion (£342/$474 per person) per year. This is due primarily to people with health risks not living as long (healthcare for the elderly is exceptionally expensive), as well as reduced spending on pensions, etc..

The position Wales was taking was that Wikipedia shouldn't be calling it a genocide in its own voice ("wikivoice"), which means taking a side rather than neutrally documenting the controversy.

Larry Sanger also made a similar statement. The two Wikipedia founders had a falling out back in the day, and it's the first time in a long time that they've publicly agreed on anything.

Neither has any special power on the wiki though. One might hope that both founders pointing out NPOV issues could be a wake-up call to stop interpreting the NPOV policy "creatively" to push an agenda,[3] but realistically nothing seems likely to change.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Gaza_genocide#Statement_f...

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Gaza_genocide#Statement_f...

[3] As an example of "creative workarounds" to Wikipedia's neutrality policy, one of the justifications for renaming "Allegations ..." to "Gaza genocide" was a rather bizarre idea that neutrality doesn't apply to titles since they're "topics", not statements. The statement implied by the new title was then predictably used as one of the justifications for changing the article body to use "genocide" in wikivoice.

> Apple complied but maliciously in the EU making it very difficult and very expensive to offer apps on alt stores. They also made sure to add scary warnings so one can never offer a normal onboarding flow.

Even for web distribution in the EU (which they allowed some time ago) they require you to have had an Apple Developer account for at least 2 years and at least one App with more than 1m annunal downloads in the App Store.

So they're forcing you to have a very successful app in their own store before you can distribute yourself, basically making this impossible to actually use. It's such a blatant case of malicious compliance, it's insane.

A truly committed pessimist would accept this dark omen.

Anyway, this definition of optimism

> or the belief that the future will be favorable because one can control important outcomes

Isn't what one colloquially means by it.

Though it is eye catching that it will make a positive impact even if you don't, actually, control important outcomes, like by not smoking

> These relations were independent of socioeconomic status, health conditions, depression, social integration, and health behaviors (e.g., smoking, diet, and alcohol use). Overall, findings suggest optimism may be an important psychosocial resource for extending life span in older adults.

Unquestionably the right move. From the various posts on HN about this, it's clear that (A) not many people use it (B) it increases security vulnerability surface area (C) the few people who do claim to use have nothing to back up the claim

The major downside to removing this seems to be that a lot of people LIKE it. But eh, you're welcome to fork Chromium or Firefox.

Wait? How does that work? QUIC REQUIRES CA TLS for all endpoints. So you can do the discovery/router workarounds but then the person trying to connect to you with QUIC won't be able to unless you have a signed corporate CA TLS cert. I guess you could integrate some Lets Encrypt ACME2 periodic updater scheme into your P2P program but that's getting pretty complex and fragile. And it also provides a centralized way for anyone who doesn't like your P2P tool to legally/socially pressure it to shut it down.

Yes. It's used heavily in the publishing and standards industries that store the documents in JATS and other XML-based formats.

Because browsers only support XSLT 1.0 the transform to HTML is typically done server side to take advantage of XSLT 2.0 and 3.0 features.

It's also used by the US government:

Makes me kind of sad. I started my carrier back in days when XHTML and co were lauded as the next thing. I worked with SOAP and WDSLs. I loved that one can express nearly everything in XML. And namespaces… Then came json and apart from being easier to read for humans I wondered why we switch from this one great exchange format to this half baked one. But maybe I’m just nostalgic. But every time I deal with json parsers for type serialization and the question how to express HashMaps and sets, how to provide type information etc etc I think back to XML and the way that everything was available on board. Looked ugly as hell though :)

No, but everybody here is some random guy, being tempted to mirror trades by the superhero investor they saw in that movie.

Are you actually disagreeing with this?

> If you're off, it could still crash and you could spend more money sustaining the position than you'd make.

And in Black Scholes this is called Theta Decay. In any form of short, there are maintenance costs, and maintenance costs roughly scale with the risk-free interest rate (usually assumed to be roughly the Federal Reserve's overnight lending rate)

Theta Decay is above-and-beyond the risk-free rate because you're also losing time-value. So you must always factor in the amount of time before a predicted crash: the longer it takes the more money you lose.

So it seems that the literal cost of treating smoking related illnesses is indeed fully covered (multiple times) by the tax revenue generated.

https://fullfact.org/health/farage-smoking-revenue-nhs/

However, net cost to the state when you factor in inability to work, etc is estimated at twice the tax revenue.

Your point that smokers die younger and so cost the state less is a contentious topic with lots of debate. One thing that is clear is that tobacco firms are actively pushing that narrative, which, given the industry’s history with regards to data and studies like this makes me instantly suspicious: https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB995230746855683470

He got lucky that the sitting attorney general was loathe to appear that he was politically motivated, so was very slow to appoint a special prosecutor. He then got extremely lucky that his hand picked judge was assigned to the case, and slow walked it until he got reelected and took control of the very department that was investigating him.

This on top of the fact that the "law and order" party apparently is only for law and order if it's being used against people they don't like. Evidently most people aren't self aware enough to question their own beliefs, who knew?

A crisis is when money flow stops in the market. In The Big Short, he bet on the fact that cash flow would stop, and they won. The stock market works in a similar way to a company’s cash flow. When money is pumped into a stock, its value increases; when money is pulled out, the value drops.

The news is essentially about making a bet, as the title suggests, with no real evidence or information on who will pull the money out or how it will happen. Just because the price is high doesn’t necessarily mean there will be an outflow. It’s more like gambling, based on speculation rather than solid facts.

> This got me thinking: Are other companies still using this type of interface to drive their core operations?

Probably a big chunk of businesses that developed their core systems before the PC era. I don't know if they still use it, but Avis Rent-a-car's main application used by its front-line people was a TUI like that, and the front desk people could fly around int it (like you said).

But most developers ape current trends rather than actually figuring out what would work best, so I'd guess very few user-facing TUIs are being built now.

To expand on #2, the loss of hydraulic pressure also caused the uncommanded retraction of the leading edge slats on the left wing, which was found by the NTSB to be part of the probable cause. Full report is here (PDF): https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/...

(I do not mean to imply that this exact slat retraction is necessarily relevant in the Louisville crash, however - I believe aircraft since AA191 are designed to maintain their wing configuration after loss of hydraulic pressure.)
