How to think about the unstoppable rise of index funds
> irrationality of the market

The idea that the market can be irrational presumes some sort of external correctness, but it can become a circular definition: either Burry is right or the market is irrational, there is no space to say that he's wrong.

It's useful to remember that all models, including looking at fundamentals and value based investing, made to approximate reality, not reality itself.
Yep, your 1 makes sense and that's a very good reason to use it - thanks for your work ^_^.

So who subversive-checks the fact-checker publications? I hope no-one since the idea of an outsourced fact-checker is farcical and we shouldn't fall for any factception play.

Just because they label themselves as meta-news fact-checkers doesn't mean we forget news includes meta news or that fact-checking is an act of bias-prone publication.

The eternal problem of news is one of defining the level of controversy accurately, if we could do that there'd be no need for more than one news publication. And yet somehow no-one that benefits from constant fact-checker approval mentions that these fact-checkers act entirely like syndicated news publications with a lower word count (which doesn't make any claims of being a single-source-of-truth more valid). They are only blunting the minds of their audience by their omissions.
If the servers do provide the proof, they get a reward, if they can't, they loose part of their collateral (also called stake).
I think this is indeed the case. They have a long list of recruit candidates to get through. The ones that are going to be the easiest and make the recruiter the most money are the ones that will get in first.

You can naggle, but remember they already know how much they can/can't make on the gig. You aren't naggling with the company you might be working for - you are asking for a bigger slice of the recruiter's take. If they know you are worth it, of course you'll get it. If not, that list they need to get through is pretty long.

It's like buying a used car from a lot. They know how much they will make from the sale. When you naggle with them, they are opting to give you some of their take in order to get that car off the lot. Find the sweet point if you can, but the busier the salesperson is, the less patient they'll be with negotiating, since there will be another buyer right behind you that won't ask for a piece of their cake.

Of course on the other hand, if the car has already been on the lot for too long, they will want to negotiate an enticement.
I am absolutely sure that AR will one day be everywhere used by everyone. There's going to be so many useful applications opened up by people being able to have a wearable always available AR view.

How soon, I don't know -- probably not before the technology isn't an inconvenience to wear.
Having all of your issue tracking, docs wiki, build pipelines and more be reliant on a platform Ian or just comfort, it’s lock-in. If you ask a company “can’t we just switch from gitlab to github? Or the reverse, you’ll get a million reasons why it’s a huge task, because everything outside of the repo itself isn’t easily transferred.

I do game development consulting now and then (speedrun mode, leaderboards, randomizers, supporting infrastructure, etc.) and it's really nice to see Godot mentioned here. I don't often make projects from scratch but it is genuinely a pleasure to use.

In regards to developing your own engine - it's almost never more efficient to do so nowadays, but it is almost always significantly more fun. If the author has enough wealth accumulated to quit their job and work on a passion project full time, I imagine they can afford to do something just for fun as the baseline.

Maybe it's funny but yes, I blame politicians. Who do you think defines rules for PG&E? Is the energy density of nuclear not high enough? We can't afford it? There too many CO2 emissions?

California produces ~40% of our electricity with fossil fuels, and if we switch to electric vehicles, demand will dramatically grow. Plus we need to replace the 9% of power that Diablo Canyon provides until 2024. The situation is dire for CA, a state that is supposedly a leader on climate action, and who is blessed with good weather and economy. Good luck deploying solar+storage in places that have winter and worse economic constraints.

Look at France if you really think politics is not the problem. The vast majority of their power is nuclear. Zero carbon emissions from those reactors. France is the largest exporter of electricity in the world.

Do you think France has some secret nuclear technology, or do they have different physical constraints? I don't think so. I do applaud French politicians for mobilizing against climate change.
It's a good investment dude. I'm not trying to shill or anything here but Ethereum is literally the "internet" of finance. It democratizes and brings access to basic financial building blocks like we've never before seen in history and truly anything can be built on it. Unironically it's the future of finance. Don't listen to the Luddites and cynics here. Do the research yourself and try it out for yourself and it becomes glaringly obvious.

Using defi is how I would imagine typing in a chatroom or accessing a website felt back when the web was just in its infancy.
Long on bias, short on actual information. If the stats are thought to be rigged by policy, say how. I don't suppose the WP wants to get into that, because it's being done everywhere, but not in the direction they're suggesting here.

An example of rigging by policy would be not to test those admitted to hospital for COVID if they've been vaccinated, but to test the unvaccinated with a PCR test with an excessive number of cycles. That way, there will be lots of "new cases" (that are not necessarily meaningful, as the test cannot distinguish live from dead viruses) and they'll all be among the unvaccinated.

Another example of rigging by policy would be not to consider people vaccinated until 14 days after injection. Inject somebody and they die two days later of a heart attack and stroke? That's another death among the unvaccinated, and maybe another COVID death, if they "tested positive" via inappropriate PCR test.

> many markets do not trade one tick wide in the first place and people are still competing on speed

True but not something that I find compelling. If you can only compete on price in penny increments, then you'd have to be hugely more confident to undercut a 1c spread with a 2c spread; if you could offer a 1.8c spread by taking a little more time over your calculations, that would change things.

> Delta neutral trading is a zero sum game and no matter what rules you put in place it will still be incredibly cut-throat.

I mean yes, to the extent that there's profit in it at all. But the profits have already been shrinking year-on-year. Plenty of mature industries like supermarkets are utterly cut-throat, but don't bother regular people.

> Moreover at this point speed is a commodity, if you're willing to shell out cash, you can get access to top tier infra right out of the gate. The real game is not how fast you are (though obviously that's important too), but how smart you can be while maintaining good tick-to-trade latency.

Well, it's the same thing, like the project management triangle - you can always trade quality for speed and vice versa, the hard part is when you want to improve both. But I do agree that at this point a lot more of it is known quantities and techniques.

> Trading has never been a vanilla/boring business and it likely never will be either.

My sense is that it's no longer where the best and the brightest go (and as I said before, profits are shrinking a lot). More and more of it is commodified. Which is what we should expect from any industry, honestly - at some point things are new and exciting and profitable, then they become mature and less so.

(TimescaleDB co-founder)

Thanks for the mention, and I completely agree :-)

Personally, there is a lot in this article that is misguided.

For example, it essentially defines "time-series database" as "metric store." As TimescaleDB users know, TimescaleDB handles a lot more than just metrics. In fact, we handle any of the data types that Postgres can handle, which I suspect is more than what Honeycomb's custom store supports.

TSDBs are good at what they do, but high cardinality is not built into the design. The wrong tag (or simply having too many tags) leads to a combinatorial explosion of storage requirements.

This is a broad generalization. Some time-series databases are better at high cardinality than others. Also, what is "high-cardinality" - 100K? 1M? 10M? (We in fact are designed for _higher cardinalities_ than most other time-series databases [0])

In contrast, our distributed column store optimizes for storing raw, high-cardinality data from which you can derive contextual traces. This design is flexible and performant enough that we can support metrics and tracing using the same backend. The same cannot be said of time series databases, though, which are hyper-specialized for a specific type of data.

We just launched tracing and metrics support in the same backend - in Promscale, built on TimescaleDB [1]

I do commend the folks at Honeycomb for having a good product loved by some of my colleagues (at other companies). I also commend them for attempting to write an article aimed to educate. But I wish they had done more research - because without it, this article (IMO) ends up confusing more than educating.

It's hard to question your own identity. If this article had described a social media addiction, a gaming addiction, or any kind of digital addiction that did not involve the word "hacking", I think we would be a lot less ambivalent and much more certain about the roads not taken.

By GUI virtualization, I was referring to the way Qubes handles receiving graphical updates (e.g. windows) from the VM and sending events (e.g. mouse clicks) to the VM. The Qubes GUI protocol is like VNC or RDP but much, much more secure: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/gui/

No HW acceleration by default as of now. It's possible to passthrough a GPU to the Windows VM in order to get acceleration, although, you risk exposing complex hardware directly to the VM which comes with many security implications: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/device-handling-security/#pci-s...

Note that in practice, passthrough works best with AMD GPUs; I've heard few reports of success with Nvidia GPUs.

Your numbers are clearly suspicious. Did you ever take measures to circumvent the CPU throttling bug under Linux on your X1E? See [1].

Also, regarding your battery comments, when my X1E G1 was new I got great battery life, around 7-8 hours. I still get 5ish.

> requires LUKS full-disk encryption, and having it setup conflicted with NVidia’s proprietary driver.

This just seems bizarre and hard to believe to me; once mounted your LUKS drive is no different (to software) than any other block device.

It's not obligated to redeem your USDT but it is obligated to redeem it for its customers (exchanges mainly). At least on paper it works like this:

1)exchanges need Tether so they get it from the Tether inc. while depositing equal amount of USD with them

2)if they don't need some of it anymore they can redeem it

We know depositing USD part never happens. It's likely some shady paper or more likely some promises are deposited instead.

It's also very likely they buy BTC with freshly printed Tether (not directly but through some of their other entities) causing constant buying pressure for BTC and other cryptocurrencies. This may just work if enough people FOMO into crypto seeing the skyrocketing price as then the gang can sell their BTC for real USD.
That's unfair.

I'm not saying that mere participation makes you a crook.

The real crooks are those controlling and manipulating the game. Many (if not most) of those playing the game are just unsuspecting participants and are the ones most at risk of being hurt by it.

I first ran into J from their ICFP submission one year. The J implementation did quite well in the contest despite being shockingly terse, and running on an interpreter. That prompted me to figure out why, and I learned a lot of interest if unconventional ideas as a result.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lying_press

"In several speeches by Joseph Goebbels from the first half of 1939, "Lugenpresse" is used to characterize the media abroad, especially the future war opponents of the USA, France and Great Britain. At this point in time the German domestic press was "synchronized" (controlled), a domestic press that the National Socialists referred to as the Lugenpresse no longer existed."

Perhaps learn a bit of history to understand how this word was used and why people think you are a "alt-right twerp" if you use it.
The press has some issues. But believing the propaganda of one party or random crap comments on the internet instead of the press is certainly no improvement.

There is no news source without a bias. The only way to learn about the world is to understand the bias, learn from different sources (even sources opposing your own view) and combine this into your own world view.

What software engineers should know about search (2017)
Unfortunately I think you probably will have to work on it if you want to not break existing configurations, so maybe NixOS is not for you. You could try alpine possibly? But with that you will have to do the same with init.d, so it's going to be somewhat of an uphill battle either way I guess. This is generally why I would discourage maintaining a service manager outside of an established distro, I tried to do it for about the same amount of time as you and it became not worth it. Upstart in particular has been basically entirely replaced by systemd.
Rehabilitation centers in fact have discipline. It is likely how and why they kicked him out. They do have clear rules and enforcement. I think that your assumption that no one thought of discipline or attempted strict is out of nowhere.

Professor Jack. What a gentleman. He's a friend of my graduate lab PI and visited our scientific and information visualization-focused lab in 2008. He made the rounds, quietly and attentively listening to each of us demonstrate and discuss in-progress work. I remember expressing some frustration that academic work in sci- and infovis felt like to complete crapshoot with respect to publication in "respected" journals (e.g. IEEE Vis, SIGGRAPH). The community felt exceedingly subjective, particularly when compared to other branches of computer science. I remember he just smiled, said "May I?" reaching for the keyboard. He typed in the address for this very page. Paraphrasing him: "I sent this paper to all the typical Information Visualization conferences, and they all rejected it. All of them. So I sent it instead to the top cartographic journal in the world. It won best paper," said with a smile. This made a HUGE impression on me, and I appreciated his sincerity, humor, and general infectiously positive demeanor. More than any direct statement, this demonstrated the importance of believing in your own good ideas, even when others are quick to dismiss them. For Professor van Wijk, this was just one of countless interactions with graduate students from across the globe. But it certainly bettered me as a person, and I will never forget it. Thanks, Professor, if you're out there.

Psychiatrists don't play God. All they do is move people from the path of dangerousness to a different path. Its not murder if someone dies because of psychiatric treatment because, psychiatrists tell us, the person was going to die anyway. The psychiatrists know all about who will die and who will live and, like fpgaminer says, they're just regular saviours. I mean, the alternative would be to consider psychiatry as some kind of modern-day Roman Catholic Church - a group of trusted people holding esoteric knowledge that in reality falls apart at the slightest inspection but who have so far been successful at silencing critics, even violently, and are using the obscene and exclusive powers that they have granted themselves to become more and more wealthy and more and more influential in policy-making. As history shows us, this is highly unlikely. In fact, as psychiatrists themselves tell us, thinking that would be crazy. We must suspect ourselves and everyone around us except for psychiatrists, like healthy people. This is all perfectly logical because it is science and, frankly, it is surprising anyone would have qualms. Also, continuing fpgmaminer's thought, we must begin destigmatizing slavery. There are a lot of people who are fit for slavery but are resistant to it because of the stigma around conservateeship.

Not to minimize the other commenters issues, but I've never seen an issue like this, and I've run Pop on a wide variety of hardware.

And as the sibling to this comment points out, Pop only officially support their own hardware, where this would never happen.

Edit: It also seems worth pointing out that the reasons these conversations are had is that it can be fixed. Mac and Windows? Not so much in my experience. Working in a repair shop I have seen some things out of both of those that make bug's like this one look minor (remember when Windows updates decided user data didn't matter?), and there's nothing/not much you can do about it.
