"if", "sooner or later". Any ource of evidence for your wishful thinking?

> I wish you hadn't spent so much time fighting a straw man in my place

That's the problem with any crypto proponents: they have only demagoguery and wishful thinking instead of arguments. I literally started with skepticism that there are any people doing anything useful in crypto space.

Instead of "taking technology" you provided zilch (as I explained here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35505598).

Instead of "talking technology" you're saying "oh, there's absolute lack of any evidence, but I believe that FedNow will use ZK proofs" because if you believe strongly enough this will surely happen.

And so on. But sure, it's me who's fighting strawmen, and not crypto space profucing tons of bullshit.
It's sad, but how many languages have we lost over the centuries? How many variations of Italian or French have we lost due to migration?

As a Deaf person, this is readily apparent in local flavors of ASL. I noticed this with deaf people I came into contact with at RIT as a student there. There were many slight variations. You could tell who were new to the school, or those who's been there for a while. The ones new to the school were still doing it the way they learned at home, and the ones who has been there for 2-3 years were signing in a similar style. It was interesting to see.

Language is a living, constantly evolving, thing - you can't 'preserve' it any more than you would preserve a living tree in a book.

>> a little bit to cover your summer salary (which is an insane concept if you ask me).

It's a brilliant concept though if you look at it another way.

Imagine the university has $120k per year allocated to your salary. Is it better for them to pay you 10k a month for 12 months, or 20k a month for 6 months?

You're seeing this as "they should pay you 20k a month for 12 months", but that option is not on the table (your post pays 120k).

By paying you 120k over say 9 months, they set your-value- at 160k. So you're free to get extra grant money, consulting gigs, whatever. For grant purposes they're capping your income at 160k,not 120k.
You're correct, and I should have fact-checked that rather than relying on my memory of what co-workers have said. Project 25 (P25) was started in 1988/1989; the first compliant radios came out in 2012. At some point after 9/11, it was mandated that all government radios purchased must support P25 (for interoperability), likely as a 9/11 Commission recommendation[1].

I would guess that you could still make some profit, since once the stock is added to S&P500 it will raise at least a bit, since many people do invest in the index, but I would guess that this change is less noticeable now that many more people are looking out for stocks that are going to be added or are close to be added to the index.

I'm also guessing that many have algorithms that check for stocks that fulfill the criteria to be added to the index.
In my opinion, the only usable software in that area is Marmoset Toolbag. It is stable, has enough features like Substance Painter to be useful, and they sell perpetual licenses.

The book Adaptive Markets has a different theory, of markets driven by behavioral economic principles based on human psychology rather than assuming everyone is a Homo Economicus, a fully rational and efficient actor in the market.
Yes, that’s the point.

People thought they could beat the market by timing buys of stocks that were likely to become part of indexes.

If there was any alpha in this practice, it’s been sucked out of the market at this point. The anticipation of this has already been priced in, so there’s no remaining advantage in trying this strategy.
The article explained it well enough. Makes sense, I just was unaware. From that chart though then could ^` generate a NULL byte?
These are, quite frankly, easy protections to put up. I know a lot of work is invested into them but it’s pretty clear that apps shouldn’t be able to scribble all over the address space of other processes, or just have access to all system devices. The hard part is when you actually have a legitimate need to do certain things but not every app should be granted this permission. For accessibility reasons some apps should be able to simulate user input. Obviously, giving this permission to every app is not good. Some apps should be able to know where you are. The one that your spouse installed on your phone secretly to track you? Probably not. This is where the challenge is these days.

There are fundamental design choices in Lua that can certainly put some people off, such as prototype-based inheritance or the union of arrays and maps.

It certainly wasn't casually hacked together, though. Ierusalimschy et. al. have thoroughly documented the language and its development rationale with admirable clarity.

In particular, the paper "C APIs in extension and extensible languages"[2] will be of special interest to prospective embeddable language developers. "Passing a Language through the Eye of a Needle: How the embeddability of Lua impacted its design" is also a good read, for those who can summon bits through the ACM hellm... er, portal.

The word "state" usually implies a part of a federated country. "Province" is more often used for administrative circuits of a country with a centralized government.
At galactic scale, an emergent feature like a line, as in this case, begs questions. If a black hole in motion leaving ejected state behind is the best fit then so much the better for a rationalisation.

I bet it's moving very very fast. Better to be behind it than in front maybe.

(It seemed a curiously tentative headline to me. All deep space astronomy is necessarily conjectural to observation from a small number of sources and black holes are not directly observable so all states of observation about them are at best indirect)
All you need is 64GB of RAM and a CPU, actually. Two 3090s is much faster but not strictly necessary.
This is my thought as well, that the alpha would increase until it's enticing enough for active investors, but then I thought, most people are lazy and won't want to actively invest, so will this alpha ever decrease to an equilibrium state?

I think it was his biographer, Alice Schroeder, who said that Buffett has never revealed his start to finish analysis for an investment. He's only talked about guidelines and principles, but it's like one thing to know F = m*a vs. how to design a bridge.

> Or I could simply include the last build's assets as there's no conflict potential.

It looks like your build puts the hashes into the file names for each asset (instead of just naming resources purely as the output from the hashing function). If you're using a halfway decent hash function, you're ~never going to get a hash conflict even across all of your assets, let alone across all the versions of an asset for a single source file name.

You could just leave all the old assets in place (esp because many of them won't change from build to build) and prune hashed assets that you know haven't been referenced from an index.html in >1 month.

So I remember looking into this a while ago, and I don't really have proof, but it seems like the description of "dance" is probably misleading. There's, for instance, something called St. Vitis' Dance, which is a neurological condition people still get today. You can look at videos of that and I don't think any modern person would possibly describe that as dancing, but that's how it was perceived in an older age. As fascinating as the case of the dancing plague is, I suspect it was a disease with the more mundane symptom of muscular dyskinesia or dystonia and we're imagining something akin to actual dancing.

Again, I have no proof. It just seems like we're taking the descriptions we have too literally from an era where medical terminology was often metaphorical and made by people with an extremely limited understanding of disease.

Your theory is worth discussing.

While in an absolute instant sense energy use might win for the machine, you probably forgot to factor in the lifetime cost of the production of the machine's components. I do not blame you as such a task seems exhaustively daunting, and we only ignore it for the people because who would be heartless enough to think that way? (probably insurance agents, lawyers, and such...)

There are also pros and cons to the different elements. Exercise on a bike might have a hard to measure benefit compared to an e-bike. On the other hand adoption pressures and increased hygiene needs are more positive and negative side effects.

The price of something is what people are willing to pay for it. Those formulas that you use to conclude their value is speculative are prescriptive and mostly antiquated. It is almost impossible to separate "real" from speculative value.
As someone that joined a legacy company 6 months ago to weather the recession, I agree with the majority of what you said. You are talking entrenched interests in keeping the way things are. Especially those that have worked in the company for years. They don't want change, because change would threaten their position.

It has been very difficult to adjust to the culture personally. On the one hand, I hardly have any work. On the other, I am struggling with the meaningless work assigned to me. The tech is abysmal, but given the culture, it's not worth dying on this hill. Countless people have tried before. You can accept it or move on.

I am staying around because of the economic environment. The upside is that I am free to work on my side projects because my IP clause is strictly related to work only. I don't expect much else because it can't offer any other than words.

He doesn't do anything in private as Berkshire has so much money all their moves are public and well known. The advice is true but fits another era, read his autobiography.

Yeah, the cigarette butts. He had ~$10 million by age 30. Incidentally he amassed this as the the son of a congressman, had a rich auntie, and was in very good social standing in a small wealthy town (Omaha). And it was 1960.

By 1960, Buffett operated seven investment partnerships. He asked one of his partners, a doctor, to find ten other doctors willing to invest $10,000 each in his partnership. Eventually, eleven agreed, and Buffett pooled their money with a mere $100 original investment of his own.

>They’ve almost entirely been speculative returns.

While that may be true to some extent (especially with the more popular stocks like, let's say... Tesla, the P/E ratio is through the roof, although it got a bit better in the last year or two), but I feel that stocks that pay dividends do have actual gains - in the form of dividends.

I personally prefer dividend stocks, because with the growth stocks you have to sell to get any profits or anything back, and I don't like to sell. Also, when the stuck is moving down, they usually still do pay dividends, which allows you to buy more of the stock at an even lower price.

In my opinion, it's much harder to inflate the price of the stock through the dividends, because those actually affect the company. They need to have that money to be able to pay it out to the shareholders.
This is cool, it's a little bit "batteries not included" so you need to get some Models for the amp part: https://github.com/pelennor2170/NAM_models and some Impulse Responses (IR files) for the cabinet emulation.

When you put them together you can get some good results, maybe a little bit noisy.

The important part is trying to develop a library of models for plugins to share and when paired with libraries of impulse responses and other FX you can build up common guitar tones. It's not especially user friendly, which is what you pay for with other commercial plugins
>There’s too many people in that game.

There's too much money in the game. There's more capital invested than there are things to invest in at a reasonable rate of real returns. It needs to be clawed back but it's hard an unpopular to do. What we effectively need is a temporary effective progressive wealth tax that alters the exponent of wealth distribution, and that tax just needs to go "nowhere" instead of being reinvested in government programs. Carefully though because such an action has lots of side effects. The problem is whenever you propose such a thing there will be a long list of people with a long and varied list of reasons why this or something similar is insane. It is A) complicated and B) poorly understood so the discourse is usually just useless, which is reason #1 why it is hard.
Yep. He’s revealed in vague passing some guidelines for, say for instance, a discount rate to use, but it’s vague enough only to use as a rough estimate such that you arrive at a possible ballpark.

It also doesn’t help that DCF calculations are incredibly sensitive with respect to interest rates that had for some time been historically low.

It might be easier to calculate these days, but my findings from years ago informed me that these issues were beyond reading financial reports.

There’s a bigger problem of there simply just not being enough attractive companies at even fair rates.

Statistically, you can only buy earnings at so high of a price to meaningfully make a worthwhile return, and for a while now, those prices have been too high in comparison to the risk free rate.

I’m sure this has since changed due to current interest rates, but I haven’t bother to look simply because of the first problem.
Don't even ask the question. The answer is yes, it's priced in. Think Amazon will beat the next earnings? That's already been priced in. You work at the drive thru for Mickey D's and found out that the burgers are made of human meat? Priced in. You think insiders don't already know that? The market is an all powerful, all encompassing being that knows the very inner workings of your subconscious before you were even born. Your very existence was priced in decades ago when the market was valuing Standard Oil's expected future earnings based on population growth that would lead to your birth, what age you would get a car, how many times you would drive your car every week, how many times you take the bus/train, etc. Anything you can think of has already been priced in, even the things you aren't thinking of. You have no original thoughts. Your consciousness is just an illusion, a product of the omniscent market. Free will is a myth. The market sees all, knows all and will be there from the beginning of time until the end of the universe (the market has already priced in the heat death of the universe). So please, before you make a post on wsb asking whether AAPL has priced in earpods 11 sales or whatever, know that it has already been priced in and don't ask such a dumb fucking question again.
Would the gain be actually zero? What I was pointing to was that you might still get a bit, not a lot, but it would still be a positive change, even though it might be a rounding error for many.

As a non-academic I have to say I didn't read it like that. I saw no outrage, and I don't see 200k over 5 years as a big number. And I didn't get the sense that the support thought it was a big number.

I say this not to invalidate your reading of the article (I'm not down voting you), but merely to say that for one not invested in the area, I didn't see the emotions you see.

Which speaks to me about how it's easy, and dangerous, to ascribe motivations and emotions to a piece when they may not be there.

I found it interesting as a well detailed piece, I assumed most grants just went as salary to the researcher, and that cleared this up.

Also, perhaps I'm more aware of what things cost running a business, and so an "overheads" cost of 30% seems reasonable. Our cost-to-salary ratio is higher than that.

Nope, learning multiple languages from the beginning has been shown to have many benefits.

Only teaching English is really a waste when you live in an English speaking country, as the child will automatically pick up English through school and friends.
