It definitely nudges you more than any other financial app.

You get push notifications for stocks making big moves up or down. They show you popular lists which curates stocks in various ways (100 Most Popular, Upcoming Earnings, Top Movers), which makes it find stocks you might want to trade. They show you what analysts are staying about a stock (X% say Buy, Y% say Sell). They integrate news articles and autoplaying playing videos with finance news. The graph of you investing performance is animated the same as a game's high score screen. They also give you a free stock when you sign up or for inviting friends.

These are all mechanics pulled from social media and games to drive engagement. Vanguard is definitely not doing any of these things. If I'm more engaged with the app, I feel like I have a better understanding of the market. If I have a better understanding of the market, I feel more confident day trading.

At first glance its easy to view Robinhood as just a better UX for a finance app, but it's clear they've gone beyond just making it easy to buy stocks/options and are actively seeking to drive engagement.

This combined with the rise of things like r/WallStreetBets has definitely inspired a new type of investor/trader.
They're advocating for protecting people from themselves.

Which is kind of terrifying for a country with democratic input. If people can't be trusted with their own money, why should they be trusted to decide who controls the American nuclear arsenal?
Not only has that particular piece been debunked, shredded, put back together, debunked, shredded again, and (metaphorically) left in the dumpster, but it's totally irrelevant to this thread.

Interest in running a company or technology is not at issue. You have a bunch of founders in this thread with demonstrable (as in: they have founded companies) interest in doing these things, and they're having trouble getting over the line because of bias.

Perhaps the VCs they pitched to read the same paper, and jumped to the same conclusions you did. If so, that's super fucked up.
There is some additional physical evidence for this in the form of plants and animals with American origin appearing in the archaeological record in Asia well before 1492. This paper [1] lists around 100 cross-hemispheric species. I'm not an expert on this, but I found the Phaseolus species (lima bean) evidence particularly compelling -- they are species of clear American origin with multiple unambiguous archaeological examples in India from as far back as 1600 BC. It seems hard to explain that without pre-Columbian trans-Pacific contact.

I hate this framing too. I don't understand all the hand-wringing over people losing money in the stock market.

If you want to be mad about people losing money, be mad about the ones where it's rigged against them -- lotto/casinos. Not the ones where they average positive. Hard for me to take this even remotely seriously.
For sure. Although never attribute to malice what can be attributed to messy spreadsheet exports and databases cobbled together with shoestrings, gum, and vendor swag.

Great Article on journaling.
The voice came from an oblong metal plaque like a dulled mirror which formed part of the surface of the right-hand wall. . . The instrument (the telescreen, it was called) could be dimmed, but there was no way of shutting it off completely.

The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it; moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment.
“Fix the educational system and hope disparities resolve themselves” is not a “concrete practical effective solution.” It’s a cop out.
If the $300/mo surprises you, you might not the target audience for this.

Most people that would buy this would also take a class at Flywheel/Barry’s Bootcamp/Rumble/Soulcycle/F45 which come out to $25-$35 per class depending on package and region. If you want to work out 2x per week you’re at $200-$300 per month. (I know folks in SF for example that take more than 2 classes per week and sometimes more than 2 classes in a single day.)

Compared to that a peloton is really cheap. And you don’t have to deal with going to the studio and finding a time slot that isn’t booked and works with your schedule.

I know quite a few coastal elites that definitely pay the premium for these group workout classes.

Anecdotal, but that is the target audience.
Don't discount the impact of gamification.

My dumb monkey brain is a sucker for seeing numbers go up and getting awards, and comparing my improvement to friends and family.

The only thing that's ever gotten me to stick with a workout routine is finding one that my smartwatch can completely track and show my progress using some algorithm that distills it down to a "score". It instantly turns something that I hated doing into something where I'm reading up on how to get better.
Anyone got a "hello world" example of an app made with this which doesn't rely on other frameworks and uses only vanilla HTML/JS/CSS? All the examples on the site are built on top of vue.js.
No, it updates by itself, sort of like Windows 10.
I also think the GPU example is really flawed because ultimately it required other people who were working on “important” problems to execute the work of adapting GPU programming to their domains.

While “unimportant” work might lead to important developments, that only happens because other people were doing the important work, and saw the opportunity.

So at the end of the day if you still want these societal gains, you must be advocating for working on “important” problems.

To be fair, before he moved the money to Robinhood (which could be routed to lottery tickets or Vegas or Bitcoin or a drug habit), he received "$15,000 in credit card advances".

Making Netflix’s Data Infrastructure Cost-Effective
Ideas discussed in his post might seem too far from the reality and controversial, but first don't forget they have been doing Tesla's self-driving ML models for a few years now - so, he definitely has some material to generalize. It's one of the most advanced ML models in production, and without reflecting on the process it would be hard to develop it, would be hard to maintain it, etc.

Also, from my own experience building DVC - when you do any ML project you do have code indeed, but not doubt that data can be considered as important element as code, we need to take it seriously - track, review, etc, etc.
Not just in terms of data preservation, but also in the amounts and the ever-quicker shifts of context. I can barely understand the controversy of the day on Twitter as it is, and I'm living through it. I don't know how future historians will make any sense of the data we do leave behind.
I'm never sure of the relation between the driver, nvidia-docker and the container with a specific cuda version.

Last time I tried it the cuda inside the container tough it was using some old driver version while a much newer version was installed on the host. So I had to manual install the older version, not sure where the issue was but maybe it was because I was using the deprecated nvidia-docker version 2 which is still needed to pass gpu resources to containers run inside kubernetes.
For Chromium-based browsers (I used it in Brave but it should work with all of them), create a new bookmark and set this as the URL:

Interesting, is there anywhere I can read more about this? Having a bit of trouble wrapping my head around it.
In this case, it appears as though you can draw a straight line from racial redlining policies to the current status quo elite profession pipeline.

While you're correct that it's a question of class — class is unfortunately downstream of racial policies the long term effects of which we've never quite fixed.

An index fund from Vanguard takes advantage of the market soaring just as well as anything Robinhood provides.

Robinhood encourages active trading, which is almost always a bad bet for small traders.

Robinhood also provides access to much riskier things like trading on margin.
If I'd need to pick only one, I would say: "learn to learn".
In the era of internet, where every piece of knowledge is available, I'm so surprised to meet so many people that are unable to learn things by themselves, relying on other non-remote people.

Sometimes you can sound like an asshole when a friend asks you something very specific and you answer: "why don't you Google it?", but IMHO you're doing him a favor.

> I would be really interested to see how many people who bought Peloton bikes in 2014 still ride them 2-3X a week now.

Peloton published the stats of their purchase cohorts in their S-1 (and probably in subsequent reports, but I haven't read them). At least among those who maintain a $39/month Peloton subscription ("Connected Fitness Subscribers"), the frequency of use increases over time. From https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1639825/000119312519...:

> We have consistently seen workouts increase over time. On average, our Connected Fitness Subscribers completed 7.5, 8.4, and 11.5 workouts per month in fiscal 2017, 2018, and 2019, respectively. Usage drives value and loyalty, which is evidenced by our exceptional weighted-average 12-month Connected Fitness Subscriber retention rate of 95% across all fiscal year cohorts since fiscal 2016.

…

> Average Monthly Workouts per Connected Fitness Subscriber are higher for our most recent cohorts and engagement for each cohort has been consistent or improved over time.

S-1 page 63 has more. Also, at least as of the S-1, churn (called "Average Net Monthly Connected Fitness Churn") from those cohorts was also very low - roughly 0.5-0.9% per quarter or ~3%/year. That means Connected Fitness Subscribers includes the vast majority of those who purchased a bike.

In 2019 when the S-1 was filed, I put a few more details here: https://twitter.com/troyd/status/1167582830425075712

Sure, and instead of Dropbox I could get an FTP account, mount it locally with curlftpfs, and then use SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem [1]. :-D

All kidding aside, I think there is value in convenience. Whether or not that value is >= $1500 + $40/mo is a personal question (not saying that such a person exists in any meaningful quantity). I'm not really interested in this product either, but I'm also sure there are a lot of things I spend money on that others would find incomprehensible.

I don’t see this as a problem so long as you don’t treat the email as the permanent source of truth of the account identity and instead have it be the email you happen to have associated with the account at that time.

We have abstracted the notion of passwords as “a collection of authenticators defined by the user”, no reason your account can’t have a collection of identifiers as well.
It bears mentioning that this is extremely uncommon situation.

I have both RobinHood account and IBKR and I don't see how I could do an unhedged short.

As a retail investor, the only way I see to short is via options and there you can only loose 100%.

It also bears mentioning that an average result in Vegas is: you loose.

Benchmark returns for stock market is S&P 500 which is 8-15% yearly return (over multiple years, depending on how good the economy is during those years).

And the chances of doing better are higher than chances of loosing money.

Such evidence needs to actually be quantifiable in such a way that you have a sense of how big an effect it has. You might compare economic performance against immigrants whose parents were red-lined out of America until the 90's. It's easier to migrate to NYC from West Philly than from Nigeria.
History shows again and again that where there is a major technological transformation in an industry, some or all of the incumbents fail to make the change, and some of the major powers afterwards are new companies.

Also, Tesla is getting pretty good at manufacturing, and steadily getting better. It is turning out many more cars than it did a few years ago, and has good profit margins. It has also learned to build factories and get them into production much faster than any of the old companies can.

And no, it is not a commodity race-to-the-bottom when the technology is continually improving at a rapid pace. Someday it will be, but that is decades from now.

So instead of trying to figure out why Toyota will clobber Tesla, you should be trying to guess which companies today are doing a good job of positioning themselves for the big change, and which are not. Among the old companies, VW is doing a great job, Toyota is so far so-so.

You know, that sort of "we are the biggest so we can't fail" mentality is the key reason companies fail to make big technology transitions.

Reminds me of another case of the opposite with Xbox Live where "gay" and "lesbian" were being censored to try to prevent the then prevalent use as a term of abuse.

To be frank to me the algorithim seems to be a scapegoat for society's own fucked up norms and practices. It isn't a moral process and expecting it to act like one isn't reasonable - it would be like demanding a cargo value calculator stop listing concentrated drugs as the most profitable commodity by to transport per mass and volume because addiction ruin lives and overdose ends them. It is terrible but it is accurately describing the status quo.
I'm working on a similar system. I want to build a business around it, but if you want the Infinite Auction code I can let you use that (only fair, since I nicked the idea from Project Wonderful).

Important problem: the smartest people want to work with you, your mission keeps you motivated

I'm surprised, too. After all, if you can train an AI to recognize a cat, why can't it be trained to recognize a letter?

Mine, for example, works well on clean laser-printed text. It fails on anything written with a typewriter, though. (My definition of "failure" is it's quicker to retype it from scratch than fix the OCR's errors.)

I'd also love to have one that worked on cursive handwriting.
Cite? The Uber killing was simply that the self-driving system was not allowed to do an emergency stop. All it could do was alert the driver. Presumably because they had a high false alarm rate.

The serious accidents involving self-driving cars have all been huge failures at the basic "don't run into things" task. Google/Waymo, which seems to be past that, has subtle problems, like "projected that bus couldn't fit through space to left of car in wide lane and so turned slightly into path of bus and was scraped."
The standard Waymo accident is "advanced into intersection, detected cross traffic, stopped, was rear-ended by human driver at low speed".[1]

> Then there is this weird thing where flatpaks force a runtime on you. My application is a statically linked go binary. But flatpaks pretty much want to force me to add an entire freedesktop suite as a dependency, as you simply cannot choose no runtime.

That's a weird criticism to have of Flatpak. The FreeDesktop dependency is the base set of libraries all flatpaks have access to. You don't have to use it. In fact Freedesktop is a great idea, to provide a base framework applications can use that goes further than just libc. If we want Linux on the desktop, we need a common desktop framework interface.

It would be like being unhappy a static go binary on Windows COULD access all of the win32 libraries.

Also, Flatpak currently is best suited to GUI apps. If your go binary is a GUI app using either GTK or KDE, these will need the freedesktop facilities (such as D-Bus) to actually run properly.
> Linux Mint seem like good Linux desktop alternatives to Ubuntu at this point if you don't want to use Debian.

Mint also has Debian based distro.
When I first saw Mirror advertised this was my first thought.
> Canonical only installed the chromium snap because they did not have the resources to support a deb version instead

So Canonical has the resources to make an entire DE, an init system, a mobile OS, a new display server (all of which were dumped on the roadside), and then going all in on a brand new sandboxing/package management system developed from scratch, but merely compiling a web browser officially supported by google and used by nearly every single one of their users is too much work?
How does Keepassxc compare to other password managers (passwordstore with gpg-agent/gnome keyring, 1password, Bitwarden, etc) in terms of protecting secrets when the vault is unlocked?

For example, part of data may be held unencrypted in RAM that could be read by OS or other programs. Any use of TPM?

I want to take $100 and go wild in this world of amateur investing, intending to experiment until I’ve lost it all. My concern is that I might not understand things and end up leveraging well past what I have injected into the system.

I love doing peloton classes via the screen thingy a la black mirror. I had access to one at my old apartment complex and did it 2-3 times a week for about a year. If I wasn't still moving around I'd invest in one for sure.

I always chose the classes done by this one enigmatic instructor, but would branch out to others sometimes.

You don't just get hooked on the exercise, you get hooked on the instructor and the social experience. I can definitely see this happening with mirror and lululemon. Sign me up.

Is "I just give you a tgz with small folder of files, one of which is a binary; I managed to make it run just about everywhere" worse than AppImage (notably, for a GUI app)?
Questions of class are questions of race because in America, the median wealth of black households is 1/8 that of white households. Apart from that, even upper middle class black people tend to be excluded from these opportunities because tech entrepreneurs live in upper middle class white neighborhoods instead of upper middle class black neighborhoods. It’s a chicken and egg problem.
I feel like both Snappy and FlatPak are inferior to AppImage, which IMO is much easier to use (it's a self-contained executable) and doesn't rely on any fancy management daemons or what have you.

Like, in terms of user experience it's about as close to the Windows-style "download this .exe and run it" approach as one could get, though it'd be interesting to see a macOS-style "put this .app in your ~/Applications" approach as well (which should be doable with a daemon watching such a folder and generating e.g. menu entries and such, as an optional component or perhaps a feature of the desktop environment itself).
The future is decentralized, techs and hackers will leave and regular joes will follow later.
This article is very dumb. Models are descriptions of data--they describe how things are to some level of accuracy, not how things ought to be according to some or other concept of cosmic justice.

From the article:
"Notice how the grid search would tell us that there should be a big payment gap between the two groups even if they display high levels of skill"

Only an idiot would say that the output of a model has anything to do with the moral question of how things should be. Using "biased" inputs to your model may or may not help you describe your data and answer questions about what it is, but the inputs have nothing to do with what ought to be.
