The point is that if you're already fully invested you don't have money to buy those additional shares. And if you didn't want the leverage before, commiting to take on leverage later may or may not be a wise thing to do.

It may make sense if you had dry powder waiting for a correction. But at that point you are forced to buy (and as you say it may be at a higher price that the prevailing one in the market). You get premiums but you lose flexibility.

The problem is that mesa's "Clover" OpenCL driver currently only supports OpenCL 1.1 and does not support OpenCL images and was abandoned for years. This makes it more or less useless. Additionally, these code paths are not very well tested or optimized.

This has been in the works recently though, I've seen PRs for OpenCL 3.0 and OpenCL Image, not sure if they're in yet. With both Redhat and Microsoft being interested in working on this area now, I expect to see improvements soon.
Yup, my only major gripe is with Spotify matching the volume from my desktop (application level) to my phone (system level) and vice versa. I've seen lots of reports of this "feature" being more of a bug and reporters being told to go through hoops. So many I've not bothered pursuing it myself as I'm sure it's hopeless.
Ask HN: Does the stock market protect itself?
Following the whole r/wallstreetbets $GME saga I couldn’t help but come to the following conclusion…

When market participants (in this case a hedge fund) with large diversified portfolios are threatened by a large number of individual investors the market will move to limit the power of these individuals. In other words the market will protect itself.

In the case of $GME even the major shareholders who have the majority of their funds tied up in other stocks are motivated to do what they can to end the $GME “squeeze” because over time they have more to lose from it than gain. The reason being is at best the volatility will pull the market down and at worst the liquidation of large funds will cause the market to dip more violently.

Even though this dip may only be momentary if it doesn’t correct itself quickly it will eat into quarterly or yearly profits and reported earnings. It is also likely that capital will move out of the US stock market and into other markets/investments or stores of value.

The only market participants that would like to see the “squeeze” continue are those holding a large amount of cash because they can “buy the dip”.

Am are right here? Is this how it is going to play out? Is there anything I am not seeing or taking into account?
> I can see that some companies regularly behave better than others, and I'm happy to act on that reputation

This is a bogus line of thinking. For example, Apple have a very strong stance on privacy compared to FB and Google.

Does this mean they are more moral or trustworthy when it comes to privacy, or that you should trust them to remain focussed on privacy in the future?

Not at all! Their focus on privacy is a smart business model that they use to differentiate themselves from the competition. As soon as it stops being a smart model, or a better model presents itself, under the bus their focus on privacy will go. Apple being focussed on privacy right now should not be taken as them having a good reputation. They do not care about your privacy. They care about you buying their products. The same applies to all apparent "good" or "moral" behavior of any large company. It's not genuine morality, they don't care about the benefits to you or society at large. They just want you to generate money for them.

By all means, choose products from a company whose presented morality currently aligns with yours. But don't believe that morality is genuine, and don't get hooked on that company. Instead use them, just as they are using you, for as long as it benefits you, then dump them in a second when they inevitably change... Just as they would do to you.

It's fine when it works, but it's very hard to solve problems when they happen as it's so complex, and doing stuff outside of "the standard thing" can be difficult.

I once had "systemctl restart unbound" reset my volume, consistently. How do you even start debugging something like that without a deep dive in systemd? This particular issue turned out to be a systemd bug, and that such a bug can exist in the first place didn't exactly increase my confidence in the system.

In another case I couldn't get my NFS to work at all, and it turned out that rpcbind.service somehow went missing. Not sure how that happened and it's a simple enough problem, but it was really non-obvious because systemd doesn't issue clear errors on this and the system is so complex it's not easy to spot either.

I’m not glossing over anything.

She has been trying to build relationship with generals, and is not going to publicly denounce them just to achieve some kind of moral pageantry. Angering the military so she can appease people who don’t do anything for Burma is pointless.

If ASSK was in charge Rohingya situation would not happen. But she’s not in charge. Holding her to some impossible ideal is ridiculous. Blaming her for genocide is offensive. It’s just part of a game western academics, journalists, and moralizers like to play.

Her actions are completely understandable if you understand the political situation, and its history.

And for most Burmese the lack of support for her fledgling civilian government by the nations and journalists that condemn her has created deep resentment. Nobody here cares at all what they think.

Imagine how it feels to have people, who don’t even know the name of the generals, how the government works, or where Myanmar is on a map, tell us how evil ASSK is. The person who has sacrificed her whole family and life for peace and reconciliation.

>The broker just calls you up and says "you had the share in your account but we lost it, here's some money for your troubles?"

Pretty much.

Devils advocate: if you know you own all the stock, and someone offers to sell you stock, you know the deal cannot actually be completed. So at best you're owed your money back for the "extra" stock you "bought".

If you own 101% you should know you cannot actually transfer or vote that stock extra 1%, it's simply not possible. All 101% means is if the stock goes up, you get 101% of the gains.

Fyi, times when votes are happening are interesting for shorted stock because a not insignificant percentage of the stock does get recalled so owners can vote it. So short sellers have to reduce their positions and then increase them again. It is one way to try and estimate short-seller impact in the stock...
>about 2000€ a month, enough to pay for a students living expenses

Just out of pure curiosity, where did you live/study that 2000 Euros are student living expenses?

In my neck of the woods in central-western Europe (Austria), 1000 Euros per month is already really good money for most students and 2000 is what you make as a junior full time employee in a good tech company.

The original Oberon and Oberon-07 lacked any support for subranges, enumerated indexes for arrays, co-routines, monitors and exceptions.

Oberon-07 is a nice exercise in minimalism, but not something I would enjoy using in production.

Oh, I don’t actually “need” to have them. They are just nice-to-haves. Really low priority among my “Ways to Spend/Waste My Money”, more like “Doodads I Might Buy One Day If I Have Waaay Too Much Money”.

Establishing this list at least ultimately caps how much money I’ll waste in a certain kind of things. In contrast, I’m unable to establish such a list about books and video games. At this point I don’t even know how much money I’ve spent buying my hundreds of books and hundreds of games (although “fortunately”, the vast majority of them were bought at heavy discount).
> Shitty company will go down in a natural way in a free market economy.

This is the crux. "Shitty" as in obsolete business model: Yes.
Shitty as in fraudulent company behaviour: No.

In fact, fraudulent behaviour creates a competitive advantage. And there is only an incentive for the regulator to intervene in the most extreme cases.

Wirecard employed thousands of employees, paid taxes, contributed to social security, and created wealth for investors. Tesla has accelerated the spread of EVs and similarly created enormous wealth for investors. These are real, significant positive effects.

It’s not a weird play, it an absolutely run of the mill pump-n-dump scheme played out by a few people who are spamming Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and wallstreet bets with pitches like “this will be the next GME”, “make banks collapse, buy silver” etc.

The people who stand to gain will exit way before any real effects of shorts or limited supply even has the potential to play in. They are trying to capitalize on the GME media attention and willingness of inexperienced investors to throw money at anything because someone told it would “go to the moon” in a tweet or tiktok.
About Mine – The Future of Data Ownership
What your describing still sounds incredibly dodgy.

The price of anything is a result of its some intrinsic value and the volume of supply. So a precious stone is valuable because of its beauty, but also because it's rare. If someone mines a billion such stones, it won't affect their individual beauty, but it will certainly reduce the price someone is willing to pay for one.

Now, you seem to be saying that short selling is a signal about intrinsic value, but the process you describe, whether you want to call it counterfeit shares or fractional reserve shareholding or whatever also messes with the valuation by inflating the supply. If there are more shares of a given company available, those individual shares will be worth less.

The result would seem to be that naked short selling at volume will create a self-fulfilling prophecy. You can drive the price down simply by inflating the supply, regardless of whether the company is well managed or not. Maybe you start with badly-managed companies, but there's always going to be a perverse incentive to target any company so long as you can manipulate the supply enough to force a price drop. If you care about the market as a measure of company health, that doesn't sound like a good idea.

It's typically swiss (i'm swiss) it is not even meant evil but out of sheer ignorance and stupidity we make decisions like that.

Recent examples:

-Switzerland wants to make a Free Trade Contract whith Indonesia, now Swissmem makes some Advertisement on YT with the starting sentence "Indonesia is not just Bali and Palmoil..." First that's kind of ignorant as if Switzerland is just Chocolate and Matterhorn. Second..PALMOIL..that's not something to brag about.

-We had a initiative, which in theory came thru, but was stopped (different theme). It was about Corporate responsibility (Swiss Corps are not allowed to break Swiss Laws even when they are not operating in Switzerland), and now imagine who made that Advertisement on YT against that initiative? F*cking NESTLE!!!

It's like: Hy i'm your dear friend Assad and i am against regulations concerning ABC-Weapons.

BTW: Hey Nestle and Swissmem, if you need someone who filters your BS for the modern age before it goes online, write me an Email (it's my username at protonmail...no pun intended)

And yet in-order blending is so much more power- and area-efficient with fixed function hardware support that, if your goal is to support graphics, especially for a mobile part, you'd be silly not to add it. The same applies to rasterization and a number of other similar things.

Again, this doesn't matter for a pure compute part. It's just not particularly clear from the article whether they're even aware of the distinction.
> naked short selling at volume will create a self-fulfilling prophecy

To be super clear, naked short selling is banned for everyone but market makers [1]. A market maker goes naked short when there is a buying frenzy. Their economic incentive is to then cover the short given they are in a buying frenzy.

The NYSE explicitly markets its specialist system to issuers as a stabiliser mechanism. It’s a selling point to long-term investors and Boards. The only people who get upset about this are hedge funds and day traders who get ahead of their skis.

[1] By Wall Street tradition, every long losing money must allege naked shorting. That doesn’t substitute for evidence of it. Large amounts of short interest do not indicate naked shorting. (Lots of FTDs do, but this figure has to be scaled to leverage and volatility.)
I had really high hopes for Burma when they transitioned to semi-democracy in 2010. 10 years of shitty government and a small genocide later and I wonder if the country is ready for civilian rule.

> This is what they claim, yes.

No it is not. See the FAQ again at https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/faq.html:

> 1.4 Do you really think you can replace the web?

> Not for a minute! Nor does anybody involved with Gemini want to destroy Gopherspace. Gemini is not intended to replace either Gopher or the web, but to co-exist peacefully alongside them as one more option which people can freely choose to use if it suits them. In the same way that many people currently serve the same content via gopher and the web, people will be able to "bihost" or "trihost" content on whichever combination of protocols they think offer the best match to their technical, philosophical and aesthetic requirements and those of their intended audience.

For the other point you seem to forget that gemini doesn't exist on technical grounds but on philosophical grounds: it wants to create a new space with its own rules, even though the technicalities are close to something that already exist. People have written blogs (called gemlogs in gemini), and they "hacked" the format to build an informal replacement to Atom. The constraints of the medium created the requirements and the result is a simple, human-readable and human-editable document that can replace Atom in most cases: https://proxy.flounder.online/gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/.... It follows the philosophy of making this new space more human-centered.
If there's proof, why is it that no court in America, even the conservative stacked supreme court, will give it the time of day? Trump's own legal team were so clear they had no credible evidence that their court cases never even alleged any fraud. Why not?

I've still yet to hear a coherent reason why Trump is even alleging such massive fraud. I'll do without proof even, I understand something can be true or strongly suspected without proof, but you need a reason to suspect it right? Some initial concern or reason for thinking there might be fraud on the scale of millions of votes across numerous states in this particular election. Including states in which Republican appointed election officials supported and certified the results. Honest question, what is it? To my knowledge Trump has never given one. I'd love to know.

For conservatives like myself outside America that view the Republican party as our natural political allies, it's desperately sad. Fortunately there are responsible Republicans standing up for the Democratic process, but so few. We're going to be dealing with the corrosive effect of this on democratic processes across the world for many years to come.

Is this a forward-looking law that presumes such video evidence may be faked in an undetectable way? Or is there really an expectation of privacy even while you are in a public place (e.g., street)?

In the situation being discussed, where more shares than the available float are shorted, they are functionally the same because both can theoretically create infinite amounts of shares.
Fair point. By playing with the same amount of money each time, I can repeat the conditions and my behaviour. That is, I can easily 'yolo' the same amount in a year and behave in the same or similar manner. The reason being that changes in circumstances significantly alter our behaviour and perception. By simulating the conditions I can possibly emulate the behaviour and thought process.

I understand that this sounds like a rationalising gambling behaviour, and in part it is, but on the other hand, making money it is a multi-objective problem.

Maximize net worth subject to minimizing risk and time.

There are many ways to play this; you can throw a considerable amount of money in stuff like AAPL/MSFT and so on, and that is a good position to be in, infact MSFT went up 350% IIRC in the last 5 years, that's nearly +35% YOY.

Alternatively, you can gamble small amounts and capitalize on the FOMO by identifying bubbles, riding them, and getting out fast enough by not getting too greedy. This isn't the best strategy long term because you can miss good opportunities, like AMD, but this falls into acquiring more domain knowledge. Plus it sounds like trying to time the market, as many do, but I disagree. Many who try riding the bubble try to time the peak. I disagree with that approach. The goal is to get out fast enough to outpace the market.
I think the final line of the article is something that all of us, of all political persuasions, should think on:

Short selling is not immoral but the planned manipulation of market with mass shorting perticular stock is.
It can be tackled by imposing the maximum cap of 3-4 percent of a company value by single trader. So at least 20-30 traders are required to do such mass manipulation.
If the op is reading: In the description of a short attack, it says in the picture that the demand curve is "infinitely elastic, it moves all the time".

This is not what elasticity means here. In fact, the demand shown in the picture is not infinitely elastic.
> why isn’t somebody complaining who got scammed? Don’t they want $400 back?

Many App Store customers literally do not know that they can request a refund, or how to request one. App Store does not even have a clear refund policy. You see a lot of reviews for scam apps that say "I want a refund!" They just don't know.

App Store customers assume, naturally but unfortunately mistakenly, that app developers have the power to grant refunds. They have no idea Apple itself is the sole source of refunds. You would think that Apple would put a refund link in the ratings/review area of the store, but nope.
In fairness, if they have enough evidence to get a court order then they should get the footage.

I think its important to have a barrier to break people's privacy, but I don't want an absolute barrier, just one that stops its use on cases that matter less than people's privacy.
