Of course not everyone is autodidactic so the path is not for everyone, but it is indeed quite possible to acquire this kind of knowledge/humanity outside of the university structure.

Alternatively: everyone should read the classics.
The reason they’re allowed to is precisely for a GME type situation, if there is a massive buy-side imbalance and there aren’t enough shares to borrow to short (aka sell to buyers), market makers are allowed to naked short to remain delta neutral.

Citadel (probably[0]) isn’t going to naked short GME to take a directional position, they just want to capture the bid/ask and hedge the directional risk, which sometimes requires naked shorting. I suppose they could (and might) use synthetic shorts (long atm put, short atm call) to hedge. I’m not sure if only a designated market maker is allowed to naked short, or if supplemental liquidity providers or other types of MMs I don’t know about are also allowed to naked short.

[0] I say this only because I’m not Ken Griffin and don’t know with absolute certainty, but generally a market maker aims to stay delta neutral.
I know some guys like that, and all of them grew up without their biological father in the household. Anyone else notice this pattern?

Could modern families (with step fathers, or without any father) contributed to men failing to become independant?
This does run into the same problem that Wikipedia runs into, that it insists on using “credible” or “reputable” sources but does not really bother to define that, and it essentially comes down to that sources are not “credible” for disagreeing with their beliefs.

Personally, I have yet to see any “credible” news source and the adage remains that every news article about anything I have even the most minor inside knowledge of seems completely inaccurate, especially the politically laden ones.

No matter what mechanism Google uses to assign such ranking: be it their own judgement or simply an agnostic a.i. that lets the masses decide, I cannot see anything good coming from it and there will always be a bias not based in factuality, but politics.

That's absolutely wild. As far as I knew the most you owe anyone staying in your house is 24 hours to remove their things after which you can call the sheriff to arrest them as a trespasser. I can't believe they had to go to court over that.

Video game addiction (overuse) is a coping mechanism in the face of increased anxiety in the modern world.

I don’t think it directly causes issues as much as it enables or locks in certain behaviorally patterns such as being a NEET or similar. It’s really more of a symptom of a lack of support system in a person’s life, the same way social media overuse or drug abuse comes about.

Real addictions have severe physical consequences like chemical withdrawals that can lead to death.

I find that Self-Determination Theory is a good model to look at this with. Modern school and work life provide little autonomy, little relatedness, and little (desirable/appreciated) skill for the vast majority of people whereas video games do the opposite by providing essentially an ideal playground.
Thankfully it doesn't happen THAT often (I'd avoid sleeping entirely otherwise), but next time if I can fight through the panic and realize what's going on I'll give it a shot. I'm so fuzzy when it occurs I struggle with rationality, which make sense given I'm literally half asleep.

Cool, so it's like a HR insights tool? What sort of sources are you using?

We run mostly on AWS - essentially Lambda/API Gateway/SageMaker etc, with a bunch of supporting proxies and other services on AWS EKS K8S that we migrated from Heroku using Porter (https://www.getporter.dev/) which is a YC Alum.

We have some supporting services on MS Azure. And consume a large number of APIs.

Did you write your own chatbot infrastructure and is it live to play with somewhere?

I've not written a lot of lisp (I understand it, just never had a need for it personally) so perhaps I'm ignorant, but I don't see how it's at all similar to Lisp. It just looks different for the sake of being different.
In the future, it may even be more efficient to hook them up to a large computer that is able to use them as a power source, too. We could offer them a virtual reality completely indistinguishable from reality.
What would happen if Harvard were required to accept 40 percent of all applicants as before?

I think it would be pretty amusing if they got 50000 applicants, admitted 20000, and then said "guess what Cambridge, we're building 200 new dormitories, here, there, and everywhere."

Those fees might be an interesting factor but who bears the inventory carrying cost is what I suspect GP means. For FBA, it's not Amazon. It wouldn't surprise me if big vendors like coke/Pepsi who stock the shelves also own the inventory.
As cool as this sounds, it might most likely just mean that we are going to see more people with absolutely no experience at driving at high speeds abusing our autobahns as race tracks.

I really wish we would put a stop to that in general and just introduce a general top speed limit here. It doesn't have to be a low one either - 160 kph might be fine, 180 kph might be fine, just no limit at all is absolutely stupid.
> whatever behaviours you associate with Autism Spectrum Disorder don't lead to any harm in their lives

It doesn't appear that the op made this claim.

I think I understand your perspective. I think there are some ASD associated traits which may result in sort of a tradeoff for some STEM workers. E.g someone who has a difficulty forming interpersonal relationships (negative) may thus have more free time to pursue academics and outperform their more social peers (positive). This seems more like what the op was talking about being able to observe.

The post i was responding to made the point - "do we want to attach extremely important things to a system that is by design irreversible?

Human life is both extremely important, and the loss of it is irreversible, at least for now :). People generally seem to be willing to take risks for the sake of convenience.

But in the end I believe we should be able to have our cake and eat it too - that is benefit from blockchain tech with safeguards preventing such scenarios

I really like that definition of "surprising".

While I am amused by auto-antonyms, and words that mean opposite things while having the same root, I never found them to be surprising, because being the complete opposite of something is actually related to that something, akin to the bitwise "not" operation.

I am glad this definition took that into account.

There are a number of companies operating in the space. Matterport is one some people in my work have been exploring for documenting projects in various stages of construction. There are definitely still a bunch of rough edges, but the results so far even just using a phone to capture the spaces have been acceptable to good.
Your inability to pick your subscriptions is hardly a justification for limiting me to enduring 2x slower phone CPUs because the app I need is not allowed in Apple app store by an arbitrary rule, that violates anti-monopoly laws.
Depression is often characterised by a struggle in finding the motivation / desire to do something you love: if they love video games and can play them 12 hours a day, it's very possible they simply... don't care about the outside world. A job, family, exploring the world, these are all things some people just don't like. They don't have to have mental illness in order to spend their lives doing one thing!
Microsoft never got broken up so it certainly didn't teach us anything about breaking companies up not being useful. We'll never know what would've happened had they been. It might tell us that our laws are too weak, though.

Even if we reduce the story of Bell to "they got split up, then Southwestern Bell/Cingular/AT&T and Verizon gobbled up the rest of the others slowly" then we can see a big win: the n broken-up companies had varying levels of success because they tried different things and executed in different ways. That's a massive A/B test of the usefulness and efficiency of business practices that never would've happened if they'd never been broken up in the first place! And we'd have even less competition than our current wireless market if that breakup had never happened...

One interesting side-note I happened across recently was that Rockefeller's peak wealth was after Standard Oil was broken up. So what's the arguments against breaking up megacorps? We all know the value of competition, and we don't trust public companies to look much past the next quarter if left to their own devices, so why wouldn't we want more competition and less giant monoliths?
I grew up in a school district with median household income >$100k. Several schools had blue ribbon awards from the federal department of education. There were still families where kids were given 30 days notice to move out upon turning 18. Some families were under so much financial pressure the parents wanted the kids to drop out of high school at 16 and work.
Vitriolic discussion around this. I'm completely unsurprised. All the key findings are easy to see in my own group. People are working longer hours because they are unaccustomed to working from home near their gaming rigs, or are making up unproductive day hours that their kids interrupted. Its harder to drop in and get quick exchange of information, leading to more meetings, etc.

The danger is that people (c-suite) see this and think it can't be done. It can, but COVID was an imperfect laboratory for studying this.

Isn’t Docker Desktop borderline Spyware?
Yes, math changes, but it's moreso the presentation that's ancient. The formatting is so retro that it seriously damages legibility while simultaneously failing to give students a taste of actual mathematical discourse, and the coding in the text is obsolete.

That students are still required to use TI-89's in class is a travesty itself -- TI-89's are horribly obsolete in modern practice and really only serve to hamper cheating on exams. At best, teaching students with TI-89's to better prepare them for exams might be justified as a trick to inflate their scores, but it still seems like a wasted opportunity to acquire a working familiarity with actual tools that students might actually use in the future.

The BASIC code is worse yet as it can't even be argued for as an exam-score-inflation trick; it's simply obsolete. Students learning coding ought to learn modern languages.

The focus should be on what's best for the students. And this isn't it. The retro stuff belongs in a museum.

It’s not clear that the tax code is rewarding that in a significant way. You might argue it’s failing to punish it enough for your taste, which is a fine discussion to have.

Dear sarvasvkulpati,

I appreciate your question! It demonstrates a curiosity about the nature of computing itself. Some will surely say that this idea is unreasonable or not practical. But, if this is an idea that speaks to you, I encourage you to try your hand at making a prototype of your idea! This is the hacker way. And being in college you have time, peers who are equally enthusiastic, energy, and the help of professors. Regardless of the practicality, all interesting progress comes from people who ask questions like this, and see what comes of trying to make something interesting.

In college I had a peer who convinced us to all use Gentoo Linux because it was the most hardcore Linux. I bricked my computer three times trying to use it and ultimately switched away from using Gentoo but learned a ton about Linux that I use to this day on a less hardcore distro. I still use Vim even though it's more complicated than other editors. I also went through a period where I tried learning every programming language I could find to see which one was "the best". I ultimately found a few I liked the most. None of these were efficient at first, but eventually led to highly cool results.

Ask for help if you get stuck. I bet something interesting will come of it, even if you just learn what doesn't work.

Something something "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."

Your idea is really cool. Stay hungry and awesome. Cheers to you.
I've been wanting to buy a house around Seattle for a while, but the asking prices are so ridiculous for what you get... it's just not worth it. Personally, I'm gonna continue renting for a while to see if the remote work situation opens new opportunities or brings prices down.

That being said, I learned recently that for the same prices you would pay here you can get a castle in Europe... so I made that my retirement goal.

All of the features mentioned (background blurring, live text, etc.) are “gee whiz” stuff.

false dilemma.

many parents contribute to their children's first downpayment, if you can't or aren't interested then just leave the discussion.

they don't have consensus on wanting to live with you while you believe they have the skillsets to save $200,000 in 4 years. who gives af if there is a theoretical savings optimization possible, that's not your problem stop acting like it is.

you are going to have an empty nest, you'd be better off admitting thats what you are avoiding instead of acting like your concern is their savings potential, which is just coincidence. sure, I could be way off, but the constant is that you already gave them the support system to integrate into society, this seems largely successful so don't worry about those choices.

I know people are different and I'm not wired the same way, but I have trouble understanding how people can play games for more than a few hours a week.

Games like Pac Man and Tetris are algorithmic workloads. It's not much different than driving a semi or forklift, except you're not paid by a company for the work you do. It puts human brains closer to acting and performing as algorithmic worker bee agents.

Modern AAA titles are the same thing, just with more degrees of freedom.

I understand that there are dopamine triggers, but game engines subject players to the same repetitive thing over and over until the game ends. Kill this thing, collect 12 pelts, etc. There aren't very many variations on this theme, either. I can't grapple with how this squares with the limited time we have in life.

I think the best argument from my perspective is that Animal Crossing has you literally working to pay off a fake mortgage to buy digital items you don't need. You shouldn't stress out over a game.

I've enjoyed games for their mood, setting, music, and narrative, but gameplay itself is work. I'd rather just have a movie or narrative story. I already work too much.

I find it very curious how facebook's advertisements (especially on instagram) seem to have a lot more products that are cheap commodity Chinese products, whitelabeled by a glitzy 'startup' brand, and add a 500%+ margin. Very often a quick search can find identical items (maybe without a brand label) on Aliexpress for a fraction of the price.

Google search and on-site ads can be annoying and of questionable relevance, but I rarely see items that are so egregiously ripping off consumers. I dont see this much on twitter promoted tweets either.

What is it about facebook's ad business that encourages such a high proportion of overpriced garbage? Is it the mediums focus on pictures and video that makes these sales work? Is the audience just dumber/less savvy and so these platforms are the only places with enough suckers to do this successfully?

TikTok's sponsored videos seem to be falling into a similar trap to a lesser extent - the markup is less extreme for the few I've looked at out of curiosity.

Do Google and Twitter have some process for quality control to keep the garbage out that Facebook does not? Or is the medium the primary reason for this perceived difference?

Bitmovin Is Building a Better Future for Streaming Movies and Shows at Home
Thanks for your response. I’m confused how a server runs code on a client’s machine. It sends instructions over HTTP (presumably?), but then the client uses those instructions to decide what to do. I feel like sending the client some JSON is not the same as sending it some PHP code to execute. Maybe I’m misunderstanding something?
USDC?
Exactly this. The OP’s approach reminded me so much of the days of Slony, and I wondered why a simpler approach with logical replication would not just suffice.

Rather than pgbouncer, I did this in the actual application code once (write to both databases at the same time, once everything is in sync and you’re confident the new server works well, fail over to the new one only), but it depends upon how much control you can exercise over the application code.

Any approach that is based on triggers makes me shiver, however.
You could do an OTC swap with Goldman Sachs, or just wait a week for the market makers to open up the option chains.

Once the chain is open, you can sell as many puts as your heart desires (or as many as your broker will let you) FYI, shorting puts is long delta, so you’d want the price to go up if you sold puts. Long puts and short calls are negative delta (short)
Not after they were around 6 and 8. Their mom remarried when they were in their teens. So yeah, probably that's part of the problem. But their biological father was also quite lazy and never had a job for very long (part of the reason she left him, that and he did a good bit of gaslighting) so it's not like he was a great example for them to follow (In fact, last I heard he was living with his parents and he's well into his 50s).

For the Fed (can’t speak to Bank of England), it has in legislation what is frequently referred to as a “dual mandate” of “maximum employment, stable prices and moderate long-term interest rates.” [0] The 2% Fed target explicitly is justified as balancing stability and employment.

The ECB also has a 2% target, and its asymmetric explanation of stability may explain it: “By stable prices, we mean that prices should not go up (inflation) significantly, and an ongoing period of falling prices (deflation) should also be avoided.” [0]

Note that they define stability as avoiding signficant inflation and also avoiding significant periods of (even small) deflation.
