I’m perfectly fine with crippled browsers. In fact I prefer them to be. Even current browsers are way beyond scope and IMO should be slimmed down.

> If the retailers hold the line they will squeeze the shorters.

As long as there's liquidity (and it seems like there is, the entire float is trading every day), sure some short position might give up because they lost their bet (assuming they're not hedged anyway), but there's always going to be someone else shorting at a higher and higher level, and in the end the shorts will inevitably win.

Even without any trading halt, it would end up like all pump and dump, with a few winners (those who dump or short at the top).

And in any case there's probably only a handful of hedge funds playing (and some will lose, other will win), and those being neutral in it (eg market makers) will win as well with all the trades.

It’s a summary, or maybe you could call it a collection of technical notes about the M1 chip and what runs on it. As for not having real content, I would would be surprised if there wasn’t something new for you there–you might want to give it another read.
humans provide accidental regularization - and a human made decision boundary can have further fine-tuning by an expert. This is important related to things like calibrating probabilities, which decision trees do very poorly on even if they get good scores on the metric they're trained on.

Even better if you have a generative model which can "hallucinate" parts of the decision boundary which don't have points. Now you can "probe" your model and have a human intervene if they think parts of the decision boundary are wrong

I suppose a human can modify a decision tree as well - but in practice human generated rules may be better for some domains.
this is pure argument from authority.

I value testing, but primarily because (in years of experience, etc.) it makes code easier to refactor or reuse, not easier to make _correct_. Actually, this also applies to static types, which I also value.

But suitability-to-purpose (the best proxy for correctness that I've yet found) is far more determined by peer-reviewed design than by tests.
The people visiting the service decide that for themselves; they decide if they think the provider is trustworthy. You personally have to trust the person / people deciding which sources on a matter/story are trustworthy. It's a chain. That trust gets built up over a long period of time ideally, starting typically from a very modest beginning. It's worth noting that sources are often not consistent, they can be trusted on one thing and then get another thing wrong, so it certainly won't be a simple matter of dictating that This Source is good and That Source is bad (for everything).

More challenging than earning that initial trust, is maintaining it, not allowing a perversion to occur over time (where the service becomes biased, irrational). For every service that gains initial trust, most inevitably lose it over time; keeping it long-term is far harder.
This is great.

People create excuses all the time for everything. "You shouldn't hate Robinhood because they were new/incompetent/unprepared." Maybe. Maybe there's 10 different sources to they could have gotten the money from and they chose not to as well. Maybe there were actions they could have taken to solve the problem and chose not to because they were more aligned with the problem not being solved.

This is why I don't like this explanation. At face value it is a good excuse, but when you do an analysis from an ethics and alignment point of view:

Citadel is in bed with Melvin.
Robinhood is in bed with citadel
Robinhood sells data to citadel (this almost certainly is at the direct cost of its users)
Robinhood does transactions through citadel (skimming some of the money off of users transactions)
*Robinhood is more aligned with citadel than retail*

The whole point of an excuse is to seem reasonable. Even if the excuse is true, the underlying relationships are very smelly. All of this from every side is speculation until discovery is done.

Counterpoint, trading firms across the board were asked to alter behavior: If "You wouldn’t believe the shit going on behind the scenes right now. 10 hedge funds have fallen, and our clearing firm emailed to block ALL trading platforms from $GME, $AMC, and the like." is true, then that is quite literally a conspiracy.

As far as I can tell, The Disney versions can be trademarked, but other different versions of Mickey could be produced by other people.

The best example I could think of from the top of my head was the original 'Three Stooges' films of the 40s and 50s differing from the 70s Hanna-Barbera "Three Stooges" cartoons.

Another example would be the various film versions of "The War of the Worlds" and then the Musical version from the 70s. All different, but all using the same scenario.
Google's version of EEE is to churn the "standards" continuously by changing and adding to them rapidly to make it hard to even implement them, while also spreading widely the propaganda to cause developers to use the new parts --- even if not actually necessary. See all the static content sites turned into (increasingly often, Chrome-only) horrible SPAs.

There's a reason the word "deprecate" occurs so ridiculously often in the web development --- Google's weapon of monopoly is change: they are basically trying to outrun competitors. It's not Microsoft's proprietariness, but a brazenly open show of sheer power.

The most important aspect of naked short selling is why it's a thing. Naked short selling is used as a weapon by short sellers. The purpose is to push down the stock price by artificially increasing supply relative to demand, perpetuating the sell spiral. Thereby, the short sellers can further increase their profit on short sales.
because it's mostly for show?
I thought naked short selling was just short selling without a collar, which is what is actually causing the problems here.

No, it's like saying "I can't remember the last time I needed to turn my document into a string literal embedded into the word processor's source code, so that a spelling error could be caught when the word processor is recompiled.

My take is that the nourishment of the soul takes a back seat to earthly nourishment most of the time: money, food, drink, sex, etc. And while we cant measure the profitability of a soul-nourishing transaction today, I do think they affect us here on earth. Same goes for neglecting our souls, I believe.

We should recalibrate at some point in order to, in earnest, make nourishing our souls a priority. And also my take is that through our years God not only matures our brains but also teaches us quite a bit, to the point that when we hit 40 we are properly equipped to make this important recalibration.
I want to also add that I'm not saying the path is hermitism, in fact I really dont think that.

For example, charity to the family, the relatives, the orphans, the needy, the migrant, I believe nourishes our souls.

Happy to keep this conversation going anytime btw. Hope you have a Blessed evening.

The "and" means include and the "or" means optional. It needed because it basically states your rights on what you can do with the software and means you can distribute if you choose to distribute the software, it your choice or right to distribute the software (from the MIT License).

The phrase "this permission notice" also cover the "NO WARRANTY" disclaimer for the software because you will have to include the license if you use it in another software but you can provide warranty under a close source license or your license states you will provide warranties. The "copyright notice" and "this permission notice" means the license.

The shortest possible license that is functionally equivalent to the MIT license is the ISC license, it was created to remove language that is not needed. Read the Wikipedia article here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISC_license. I do not know other licenses than this.

Technically it is a license but do not use it and it is just probably a joke. The SQL Blessing is technically probably a Public Domain waver.

Not sure why this bubbled up here. It did have one interesting tidbit I've not seen before regarding extensions to ARM:

- "WKdm compression/decompression instructions, those are used as part of the virtual memory subsystem for fast memory compression, reducing RAM requirements."

I'm utterly fascinated by memory performance on the M1. On the one hand, every time I turn around someone has a different explanation for why it seems so much better than it's Mac Intel counterparts. (And every time 15 people rush in to explain that "no isn't any better") Here is yet another.

Not sure what the deal is, but after picking up a MBA with only 8GB for my wife, I've been quite pleasantly surprised. Memory issues seem to be almost non-existent. Even when running Xcode which tends to bog on my 16" MacBook Pro.
> Your observation about young people with four-figure net worths thinking it’s rational to gamble it all on options is pretty much this week’s equivalent of those living paycheck-to-paycheck “investing” in the lottery.

But when you "invest" in the lottery, you don't get to help blow up a hedge fund. I think many of the retail participants in the GME phenomenon find some entertainment value in what they're doing.

That said, I do think Robinhood makes it too easy for people to put on positions that they simply don't understand. The fiasco with "1R0NYMAN" comes to mind.
Visa is left with a valuable rewards game system where people get cash back or points or whatever. Plus the liability protections that credit cards come with.

People can already use debit cards with no effort, and merchants can accept that at very minimal costs. But still, most merchants are hesitant to offer lower prices to purchases with debit card because they are betting people spend more with credit cards.

I don’t expect this to change when the Fed’s system comes into play. I would actually expect the Fed’s system to replace cash transactions more than credit cards.

>Apple Silicon Macs are general-purpose computers running macOS out of the box, with Apple not providing official support for 3rd-party operating systems.

Which OS vendor provides "official support for 3rd-party operating systems" on their hardware (or on OEM machines but with some kind of support from said OS)?

WSL is not "3rd-party operating systems" running on the machine - it's a layer running within the host OS itself. Of that we have had several similar examples, e.g. FreeBSD supporting Linux ABIs, etc.

> then it’s garbage in, garbage immutably recorded.

This is the major weakness of proposals to put everything on the blockchain.

In real-world scenarios, accidents happen. Records must be corrected.

Voting is a great example. If we moved voting to the blockchain, it wouldn't automatically solve fraudulent voting problems. It would just record fraudulent votes on the blockchain. If your grandma accidentally loses her private voting keys to hackers, do we just roll over and let the hackers vote as your grandma? Obviously not.

Any future blockchain solutions to anything government-related will certainly have corrective measures and overrides overlaid on top. It's not like we're going to sit back and watch people lose their house because hackers stole the private keys to their property deed, or forbid someone from selling their car because they can't remember the password to their title wallet.
Article name is misleading, this is just another front where monopolistic influence and education meet.

Overall this is not surprising and has been happening for a long while in other areas, ever since near no risk loans for student education financing became the norm, prices have been marked up based on the expected projected revenue from these almost guaranteed loans.

Its been known for awhile that most of these engineering books have only nominal changes in problem sets, and material between editions and this predatory behavior has continued unabated for at least 20 years.

No one in a position to influence the outcome has been willing to make changes for the benefit of the students.

Much of the engineering principles taught in classes at this level have not changed for almost a hundred years so requiring a new edition of a book that is tied to a online subscription (as many are now) is simply predatory and monopolistic.

I've known some professors that have tenure that have bucked the trend and written their own books charging only the cost without copyright, but this is more the exception than the norm and engineering/science has a higher bar when it comes to due diligence with regard to materials.

How to Be a Good Coworker
Couldn’t a government just destroy a stable coin by seizing the currency backing it? Isn’t the point of a cryptocurrency supposed to be that it’s not controlled by any government?
When the number of shares trading is no longer bound by the number of shares issued by the companies they're supposedly shares of, their value and thus price becomes completely meaningless.

Perhaps you could normalize the price using short interest %, but that's not even reported real-time and would be an approximate at best estimation of how much inflation fuckery is going on with the # of shares.

This whole thing reeks of corruption and manipulation IMHO, I'm shocked this isn't explicitly illegal and it's making me lose all interest in participating.

I don't know the specific outcome of this case. However, naked short selling is now prohibited by SEC regulation SHO, except for by 'bona fide market makers'. Broker/dealers have an obligation to fix failure to deliver by their clients with specific timelines; etc.

Bona fide market makers have an exception, because their business is to always be being buying and selling around market prices, and in a market with lots of buy interest and less sell interest, they may need to sell more shares than they normally hold. Market makers still need to have the shares in time for settlement, which may require borrowing if they have net sales more than holdings in a given day, but they don't need to locate shares to borrow before selling. Market makers are given an exception, because liquidity is valued, and they need to be registered and have specific capital requirements etc.

TL;DR, naked short selling isn't a thing anymore. There's been no reports of Gamestop shorts being naked shorts, and no reports of shares failing to deliver on time. Naked shorting isn't required for short interest to be over 100%.
Not all shares have voting power, and even so the voting power of those shares (if they were 2% of the company for example) may be proportionally tiny compared to the founders/board/execs.

For example shareholders don't have any control at FB, since Mark controls 51% of the voting power.

However, not with a central counterparty doing off chain transactions and settlement. It makes sense, really: the speed and energy consumption of bitcoin is far too bad for mass adoption of direct transactions, and there's no fraud prevention or recovery of accidental loss, so Visa can replace the inefficient blockchain parts with a nice central database that the few remaining people wanting to do purchases rather than speculation can use.
I have had this discussion (argument) with so many software engineers and pilots who think they found a loophole. If someone in power thinks you broke the law, you don’t have to explain yourself to a law interpreter. It’s a human being on the other side of that table. And they can be just as clever and capricious as you. Most bodies of law also have a catch-all (I like to call it “fuck you”) clause to cover whatever shenanigans you try that they haven’t yet enumerated. 14 CFR 91.13 comes to mind.

> Digital crypto assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum will exist alongside them. Bitcoin can be an asset like gold, of which users keep a portion of their networth to protect from economic uncertainty.

Seems improbable, as it is far less stable than Gold. From what I see, it is almost never used as a currency, and almost always as a speculative asset. The main indicator for me is that Bitcoin is always measured in Dollars (or some other fiat currency), instead of having some value that it taken to be it's own. Have you ever heard someone say "This bike cost me 0.63 Bitcoin"?
College Textbooks the eternal Scam, Rearrange a few chapters and Voilà new edition and no used textbook savings.
