You are right, but we are talking about binance shorting big amounts of tokens, not you shorting some amount in their own game

Tell me who at the same level of insider info, gonna OTC borrow you millions of FTT for you to short, when most likely that person/entity owning millions of FTT is already trying to protect their value?

You have to remember that when you short and you bet for price going down, the other side is betting for price going up or at least for the price to stay at the same levels, the person borrowing you has to be constantly doing DD to be sure that its the right moment to borrow the asset, and its pretty obvious that someone holding big amounts of FTT was/is very aware of whats comming

if I was an OTC shorter and had millions of FTT and you see Binance CEO comming to you to short, I inmediatly said no and cashed out those FTT instead of shorting, cause clearly at those levels there is certainty of what they are doing.
Yeah, lots of lifting in my life (3d/wk), and we do hit shoulders a lot. Problem is lots of impingement during some motions. And its been getting worse, not better.
I'll substantiate regarding UI: On a Mac it has no items in the menu bar. The default cursor is changed to a low-resolution raster image instead of the default OS cursor. The image metadata pop-ups keep appearing even though darktable is in the background and I'm typing in a textbox in my browser. Something's really off with the UI toolkit they rely on.

I agree with the GP that the UI makes it practically unusable. Prehistoric, and I'd be surprised if this can be used by anyone as-is. I'd take a look at the features, but while it's importing my catalog I can't open any subfolders to look at images already imported. Once I click open my top-level Pictures folder, it closes it again after half a second.
> how can a senior software engineer shift his area of expertise without going through being a junior again

Find something related act as a senior eng on.

That could be an internal project, an open source project, or a side project. Without more context, I'd suggest finding an open source project that interests you. If you can use it at your work, all the better. Spend some time improving that, learning the community, bug fixes, working on docs/workflow, etc. You know, senior engineer kinda things.

Then, next time you are applying, you can point to that project.
Oooh nice! Your Kyria posts are actually where I first learned about how awesome and cheap SendCutSend is, and got some of the inspiration for the magnets.

I actually ordered a plain steel plate first, but I realized that given that I needed them in a different position to travel compactly than the wide position I like for typing, I wanted them to snap in consistent positions so it wasn't finicky to line up exactly how I liked them.
It's great for the area they're located in. If you keep getting step raises and stock refreshers every year you can actually end up doing quite well. Your initial comp isn't going going to be super impressive though.
There is VR and there is the Meta version of it. One can succeed despite the other, in fact, the Meta version of VR endangers the success of VR in general. Specifically, Zuck is working overtime and spending his shareholders money to convince people that VR is somewhere between Axie Infinity and watching paint dry.

Most of the VR advocates I know are no fan of Meta:

What is missing from Zuck's vision is any of the understanding that can be had from or had about fiction. If he was willing to listen he should take a sabbatical and go watch Ready Player One and all of the Sword Art Online anime and then he should buy a Switch or a PS5 and get a serious gaming habit. At some point he might get some insight about virtual worlds that aren't just a pale shadow of the real world but rather a place you might really want to work or play in.

It wasn't that slow a clock speed at the time of announcement, a smidge behind Intel and AMD at the time. They both had 600+ MHz chips then. But things really heated up and by March 2000 you could get a 1Ghz processor and of course P4 was all about clock speeds so things changed rapidly. PPC took a few more years to get to 1GHz.

In this spirit, I have some constructive criticism for you. Comments like this (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33528012) are so vague I am forced to make assumptions about what you're trying to say.

You post an extremely vague comment, I try to muster a response by making some assumptions about what you're trying to say. You post something that I think is obviously wrong, but I ask for an explanation just in case I am wrong or misunderstanding you, and you post this:

> Perhaps you'll find this book interesting: Networking All-in-One For Dummies https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0921K9YTS

I'll admit my comments were somewhat aggressive, but up until this comment (which, for the record, has changed my mind on this) you seemed to be participating in blatant bad faith.

If you want people to understand the nuance in your position, you have to actually say it, not just provide a random link to the UN Declaration of Human Rights. Your original comment seemed to be genuinely making the claim that 'all forms of tracking are bad because they are a privacy violation'. Maybe that's not what you meant, but I have to make assumptions about what you're trying to say when you don't actually say it and leave me to interpret what your quote and link are meant to say.

One of the big reasons that these garbage-collected type languages were not used on critical code was that the timing couldn't be guaranteed. You can't afford a massive L1 garbage collection just at the point you are trying to land a plane or disable a nuclear reactor.

Not sure whether this is still a problem now that computers are way faster but my own experience is that despite the resources available, our apps are slower than ever, even ones that do largely what they did 20 years ago like Word and Visual Studio!

It went to the exchanges.

They pumped the coins on the way up - Google willybot - which sucked retail money in. The smart exchange fraudsters cashed out on the way up. The uber-greedy exchange fraudsters held on thinking they could get more $$ if the price goes up, only to see that the price didn't go up, causing balance sheet holes which result in their demise a la ftx

Semantic similarity more concretely means to use neural nets to embed the text, then use cosine similarity or dot product to compute the score between two entities.

embed1 = neural_net(txt1)

embed2 = neural_net(txt2)

sim_score = np.dot(embed1, embed2)

If you're making a search engine you precompute the embeds for all the items in your database. When a user performs a search you just need to embed the query and do the dot products, which are pretty fast for small indexes.

Assuming you want to index millions or billions of entities doing dot products is inefficient because it scales linearly in the size of the index. There is a trick (similar to binary search) that will find the top-k most similar results in O(log(N)) time, called approximate nearest neighbour (ANN). There are a few good libraries for that.

I use a Mac and for some reason I am able to use `head` (lowercase) instead of `HEAD` (uppercase) in every command and its trained in my muscle memory.

So when I go to another computer, this shortcut isn't there, so when I type `git reset --hard head^` I get an error, and I have to go back and change it to `git reset --hard HEAD^`.

Anyone know of a configuration option or something somewhere that I can enable this?

If you're a software developer interested in working as a technical writer, I think the better resource is Writing for Software Developers by Philip Kiely.[0]

The title makes it sound like a book on technique, but it's more about the business of writing and finding freelance jobs writing tutorials and technical walkthroughs. Philip wrote it early in his career, but he had several years of professional experience as a technical writer already, which seems not to be true of OP.

Philip also maintains Who Pays Technical Writers,[1] a resource I'd trust for market rates more than any listed in TFA.

All I remember of this early period was just how much OS9 would crash when using "Professional" applications, making any performance increase in the Mac almost pointless.

I took a "fun" elective course in electronic media my senior year of school. It was Photoshop, video editing on VHS + digital video editing, and electronic music production. All my CS work was on IBM RS6000s or SGI Indy & O2s at that point. I had a homebuilt Pentium desktop machine dual booting Linux & Windows NT that I used for my work and a 486 laptop running Linux that was getting long in the tooth by 1999. I was very much used to computers not crashing by that point, NT was pretty good, Linux and the Sun/IBM/SGI workstations would stay up for a year no problem as security updates requiring reboots weren't coming very quickly yet.

I vividly remember greatly preferring doing all the video editing on the analog VHS editing stations because OS9 was so unbelievably unstable. Maybe the ultra expensive Avid workstations were less unstable, but I was in a 100 level course and not allowed to use them. We were saving our work after every operation the Macs were crashing so much.

Of course pretty soon after this OSX started making things right in the world. It's easy to take Mac OS for granted these days!

Heck even an iPhone with iMovie today would run rings around the Avid workstations from 1999!

Apple is in a somewhat different position to Qualcomm in that they were a founding member of ARM.

Question from someone who hasn't been involved in crypto since baby was born in 2021:

We all know that this can happen to centralized exchanges and using a DEX will protect your assets (the ones that don't go to $0 on their own like LUNA and FTT).

In the past, trading was always much more expensive due to the blockchain overhead compared to trading on a CEX, not to mention liquidity problems with smaller alts and DEXs.

Is this still the case? Do folks day trade using DEXs for small amounts or are they still limited to longer-term trading due to the overhead?

The thing about Aphex Twin is you have to try to reproduce it to appreciate what's involved I think. The sequence for Polynomial-C's main alternating loop is suprisingly subtle, and I haven't been able to get the rhythm quite right, and I think there's a deeper reason why it's not trivial.

Binance is almost certainly facing the same situation as FTX, just without the bank run. They're leveraged to the teeth with tether, which they similarly treat as a crypto leverage flywheel.

Binance just has first mover advantage; as a result of inventing this "my coin can just be printed forever" crypto exchange model, they have more use and $$ which gives them a better cushion. But it's still only a cushion.

More than that. Their first move was cutting trading fees, which made FTT worthless (it was useful before for traders to use to reduce their trading fees but with free trading on Binance that became worthless). After Binance made FTT worthless, they then started to sell theirs off (knowing that it's worthless because it's a race to low/free fees). A bank run would have been inevitable anyway as large traders would rationally sell their FTT and move over to Binance for free trading (they pay zero fees and can pocket the money they can get from their FTT). CZ's tweet just accelerated things.
sure, I'm assuming you have a good idea, and are generating something useful. I'm imagining that your code is magnificent :). You mentioned applying to YC, which _suggests_ you're going down the investor/exit (VC?) approach rather than a bootstrap approach.

So, I'm assuming that your goal is to get a lot of users, and gain some market traction, demonstrating both that a market exists, and that people want to pay for this functionality.

So my point is, now that you are successful (to VC levels of success) then you become visible to others - like (but not necessarily limited to) AWS. At that point what stops them just using the code to offer the same service?

Obviously there is room for lots of small companies, providing useful services that customers pay for. If you plan to be small, and niche, then you can make a very successful business. But that business is perhaps better aligned with boot-strapping rather than have VC-style investors.
We really don't need taxpayer money insuring speculative crypto operations. It's also bad for crypto in the long run, as it makes it more dependent on centralized, govt-backed intermediaries. Decentralized trust-less/minimized exchanges are the ultimate goal, but they're hard to do. Removing incentive to continue innovating on that front is harmful to crypto in the long run.
The difference in fees and throughput of a DEX and something like FTX or Binance (or even Coinbase / Kraken) is so enormous that there isn't a difference.

Normal exchanges don't go bust all the time, it's not rocket science.

The problem doesn't necessarily blow up immediately. If people's analysis of the EV of a particular deal is positive on the basis of the bubble continuing, some groups will find continued investment is within their risk tolerance and keep going.

However, if interest rates rise, the EV drops, and sentiment may shift which will substantially increase the risk that market appreciation strategy fails.

Eventually the music stops and enough investors stop pumping the asset class, it peaks, and the lack of retail ability to shoulder the debt-load results in collapse in pricing - some major US banks have indicated that mortgage originations are down 90% this year.

Interest rates are only part of a larger calculus. What ultimately blows the problem up is a shift in perception about real estate being a good investment vehicle for large sums of capital.
I was confused by the B17 fact; if you’re at the stage of lowering the gear (flying slowly), pulling the wrong lever and going full flap would do not much? Now if you were taking off and went to raise the gear and lifted the flaps instead, then that's a problem.

> Why not find an efficient model to do it

Efficient as in "most profitable?" That means changing a few cosmetic things about the property and charging the original value plus 2-3x the useless improvements that were made.

When I was house hunting a few years ago, you'd see this all the time. Someone buys a crappy house: bad plumbing, bad electrical, leaky windows, foundation issues. What do they do? Put in some frosted glass Ikea cabinets, granite countertops (wooo fAnCy!!!1), and some crappy click-lock flooring. Then they charge 150K more for the house than they bought it for.

This is my experience with flippers, and it's totally in line with "find an efficient model." They did find an efficient model: efficient for them, but sucky for the people who can no longer afford the home, and sucky for the poor sap who actually buys it and now has to dump another 200K into it to fix the real issues (and will likely end up ripping out the cabinets anyway because they are cheap and ugly).

I know there are people who do good flips, and who fix the foundational issues, but I am willing to bet they are much more skewed toward the "mom and pop" flippers.
