As a general rule anything you find probably won't scale that well because any arbitrage opportunity which has the potential for scalable returns will generally be identified and exploited quickly – thereby closing any opportunity which previously existed.

Most people I know who have done this successfully either have some niche interest, or do it with something that geographical barriers – both of which make larger profits hard, because you'll be dealing prohibitively small markets.

Probably the easiest arbitrage opportunity is furniture. If you live in a city you'll find there's an endless supply of decent furniture that people are trying to get rid of. My girlfriend often collects free furniture that people are giving away and then resells it for $20 - $30 with very little effort. From time to time I'll up-cycle some of it and if you do a good job you can make $100 - $200 profit, which sounds good, but keep in mind it typically takes several hours of work to up-cycle a cabinet so it probably pays less per hour than your day job if you're a software engineer.

The other thing I've seen work is buying and selling niche items which have surprising resell value. Musical instruments would be a good example here. You'll find certain items like vintage synths and other retro musical equipment can sell for really good money despite many people believing they're worthless junk. If you know what you're looking for you'll occasionally find great deals locally which you can then resell online. Omnichords are one of those weird instruments that people often give away assuming they're worthless toys but are in fact worth several hundred dollars online.
This is the first time I've heard of Bandera, but skimming the wiki articles these dates and numbers lack some context which I think is important.

"On 1 January 2014", this was during the Euromaidan period. There were earlier rallies, including "50,000 to 200,000" on 2013-11-24. Anti-protest laws were enacted 2014-01-16. Yanukovych was impeached on 2014-02-23.

"Anyway if you really want a poll, they did it and it shows that 74% of Ukrainians have a positive view of him." This poll was conducted 2022-05-04, only 2.5 months after Russia invaded Ukraine on 2022-02-24. In comparison, a 2021-05 poll found 32% positive, 32% negative, and 21% mixed. (The 2021 poll was included on the UK wiki page right before the 2022 poll.)

"Weird and convenient how this information is excluded from the english version of the WP Bandera page." This specific poll is in the English version of the WP page under "Attitudes in Ukraine towards Bandera". It was added sometime around 2022-06

Pro tip: get on privacy.com. Give FB (or anyone online) a temporary credit card from there, rather than your "real" one.

If you're really done using their services, you can just close the card. Once the card gets declined, they will notice, believe me.

Further tip: for most things (maybe not for FB), the name & address you give are also not checked; just the card number, expiration, security code, and zip code.

Of course, you might be giving your real address and/or phone number somewhere else on the site, if you want to get something physical shipped to you.

Was that due to a lack of supply or too much demand?
The Netherlands has many streets that are designed as "low car" streets or "bike first" streets.

The white lights are important for road safety but the Dutch have developed methods of softly discouraging the kind of traffic that makes the road dangerous.

This is especially common in residential areas. Most town centres are pedestrianized but retain brighter lighting as they can still be quite busy public areas in the evening.
Depends heavily on what each area let you drive.

Pre-pandemic, used cars delivered excellent value.

Buy $2k car, put 50 000km, scrap for $500, repeat.

In that time, pray all you need are oil changes, tires, drum brake shoes or disc pads and maybe a battery.

No, not quite. The macOS/iOS kernel is extremely Frankenstein-y (not meant in a derogatory way), with the majority of codebase being extremely Apple-specific, and bits and pieces originally taken from Mach and BSD. In particular, there is no microkernel, and there never was. Mach itself was never used as a true microkernel in a commercial setting, with the first such implementation--Mach 3--showing significant real-life performance problems. As such, there is no "BSD on top of a Mach microkernel". It is and has always been a fully monolithic kernel with some subsystems originally derived from Mach (Open Group's Mk 7.3), some from BSD (FreeBSD 5), and the rest developed in-house over the years. Even the layerings aren't always clean, with "on top of" often morphing into "alongside" or "intertwined with".

The comment didn't say "transportation is carbon neutral", they said it can be. You point out that the world depends "mostly" on fossil fuels, which correctly implies that there are instances in the world where this isn't the case.

An entry in a dictionary is static text, ex:

per·snick·et·y: placing too much emphasis on trivial or minor details; fussy.
"she's very persnickety about her food"

A dynamic entry could instead be an LLM what will answer things related to they word, ex:

What is the definition of persnickety?

How can I use it in a sentence?

What are some notable documents that include it?

Any famous quotes?

…

So each entry is an LLM trained mostly only on that keyword/concept definition

There are some that believe in smaller models: https://twitter.com/chai_research/status/1655649081035980802...
I'm not trolling, I'm pointing out that ascribing societal trends (which may or may not exist) to some hidden guiding hand through phrases like "falling into line" is suggestive of a conspiracy, i.e. a conspiracy theory. The phrase "conspiracy theory" has negative connotations I think because these theories are everywhere now, and so many are groundless variations of the same tropes.

As for "cognitive deplatforming", making a judgement on how seriously to take a piece of writing based on the author's other writing seems reasonable to me. When I look at that Twitter account I see the same tired old tropes about the WEF, covid conspiracy, government thought control etc etc, poorly written with nothing insightful or original. So I come to the same conclusion as another commenter: supremely ignorable.
Show HN: Layer – Web annotations for teams. Share ideas contextually.
We are Tarek and Sam, co-founders of Layer, a web annotation tool that enables users to seamlessly share contextual and visual information with their team.

During the development of our previous company, we faced many challenges while trying to effectively work together in a remote setting. We believe this is due to communication apps functioning at the wrong layer of abstraction. Today communication either happens in apps outside of our workspace like slack or in individual productivity apps like figma, notion, etc. which we believe at the wrong layer of abstraction. Our goal is to introduce native collaboration to all websites and web apps, transforming your browser into a multiplayer environment for your team; starting with annotations.

We are excited to revive web annotations, which have a long history dating back to the early days of the web with Tim Berners-Lee (inventor of the World Wide Web), as well as a feature in the world's first widely distributed web browser, Mosaic, which was co-founded by Marc Andreessen. He famously called it the "Big Missing Feature" when he invested in Genius.

Our mission with Layer is to offer a fast, user-friendly, and intuitive tool that seamlessly integrates into your daily workflow and invites your collaborators to join you directly where you accomplish tasks. With Layer, you can annotate any web page, including documents and images, right in your browser.

We are committed to creating a better of sharing information on the web and shaping the future of browser-based collaboration!

Our ask: We would love for you to try Layer, that is now live, and give us your feedback.

Magnesium seems like a better guess and seems to not have been studied for aortic stenosis though it does help with vascular calcification.

https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/ATVBAHA.117.309182

Especially since heart murmur is a symptom of aortic stenosis and magnesium is critical to regulation of the heartbeat.

Building a simple debugging tool to monitor your program for possible inconsistently reproducible bugs and having unit tests are not mutually exclusive concept. You're getting downvoted because you're making condescending assumptions about the developer.
I have had the experience myself of getting an unexpected and mandatory “resort fee” added to my nightly rate in NYC, and I agree it’s a scam. I read somewhere that the practice came about as a result of price comparison websites. It gives hotels a way to appear near the top of the list when you sort by price, by displaying a bogus price that excludes the resort fee. They bury the resort fee in the small print. This is exactly how I got suckered. I think it reflects poorly on the price comparison sites as well as the hotels.
Weird to assume IEEE or any other large enough organization that has people being paid money to write posts on the internet (i.e. PR dept) is somehow different from "corn belt politicians" and won't be pushing the same agenda. The main point of doublethink is that people that are not good at it, are not allowed to speak publicly anyway, so it's kinda besides the point if some random engineer has problems evaluating how come that worse concrete is better concrete.
In general, potassium is found in fruits and vegetables. It has to be spread throughout the day, because high quantities of potassium at once have a laxative effect. The highest concentrations are found in some vegetable concentrates — the densest source in your cabinet is probably tomato sauce. It is present in milk and yogurt but not in cheese.

Potatoes and other starchy vegetables like squash and plantains have significantly more potassium than grains, but it's not necessary to completely give up grains. I usually put a 50/50 potassium/sodium ("Lite") salt on the oatmeal or grits I make for lunch (work requires speed), but I don't bother with it otherwise.

Is it really?

I come from a country with universal healthcare, and while public healthcare suffers from the same wait times we see in the US, private healthcare is on an entirely different league. For instance, with a good private health insurance plan, on a whim, without a referral, one could get an appointment at a decent specialist, and possibly the specialist of their choice within the week. My experience in the US is that you wait 3 months to see any specialist at all.
The "free market" is so good at problem solving! I hope the entrepreneur who thought of this made a tremendous profit!
> > embrace, extend, extinguish strategy with WSL

No, Linux obviously.

First they like and integrate Linux into their own products. Azure, WSL and others.

Then, they provide extensions that are closed-source on top of those.

With the goal to extinguish the original project so they have more control over the direction.
IANAL—yes. Appellate process looks into whether or not the judge followed the law when making the ruling/judgement.

Smalls Claims Court is still a court, and the rulings are still subject to the laws of the land.

From a practical matter, you will spend more in legal fees appealing than what is in the judgement.
It's possible that training with more data has diminishing gains. For example, we know that current LLMs have a problem with hallucination, so maybe a more valuable next area of research/development is to fix that.

Or work on consistency within a scope. For example, it can't write a novel because it doesn't have object consistency. A character will be 15 years old then 28 years old three sentences later.

Or allow it database/API access so it can interpolate canonical information into its responses.

None of these have to do with scale of data (as far as I understand.) All of them are, in my opinion, higher ROI areas for development for LLM => AGI.
For an annual checkup, I see the same waits. But if I actually need to talk to a doctor now, I can get access to a MD within a day or two by calling the office.

The dentist wait list is the worst though. During Covid, it was like 6 month wait time when everybody suddenly remembered to take care of their teeth
> ChatGPT scrapes all the information given, then predicts the next token. It has no ability to understand what is truthful or correct. It’s as good as the data being fed to it.

For anyone looking to get into array programming, I'd recommend https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/. I'm no expert but I had a lot of fun using it for Advent of Code last year. I found it to be a lot more sensible and modern feeling than J (the only other one I've tried).
Even if you buy carbon neutral electricity, increasing the demand for it will end up increasing carbon positive electricity production (in the large scheme of things).

And we'll ignore carbon to manufacture the truck and create and maintain the roads, warehouses, and other transport infrastructure.
I don’t recommend it per se, but Dr William Davis’ HeartScan blog makes the testable claim that there is a relatively cheap noninvasive scan which gives a good proxy measure of calcium buildup in the heart, and that using it he has interventions which measurably reduce such buildup, and they overlap with common alternate diets like reduced wheat, carbs, I forget what else.

I’m not claiming this is right, but if it is both testable and measurable and not just unsupported claims, it seems it should get more attention. He’s also a cardiologist not an internet tree doctor. I don’t know if he’s a quack.

[Edit: https://drdavisinfinitehealth.com/2019/03/why-you-should-get... saying "When you get a CT heart scan [...] you’re given a score. What that score is, is the volume of calcium in your heart’s arteries. People go “Why are we measuring calcium?” One, it’s easy to see on a CT scan, so is thereby easy to quantify. [...] Calcium occupies 20% of total atherosclerotic plaque volume. So it’s a gauge, a dipstick, for the amount of plaque you have in your arteries. It doesn’t tell you about blockage [...] A heart catheterization would tell you stuff like: there’s a blockage halfway down, that’s blocking 70 percent of flow. [...] A heart scan tells you something like this: in this 1 foot long piece of iron pipe, there’s 273.85 cubic millimeters of rust — two different perspectives on the same disease. A heart scan gives you a score, a calcium score. Normal is zero. The higher the score, the more plaque you have, and the more likely it is that can lead to heart attack and abnormal symptoms. There’s no specific cutoff. You can’t say “at a score of 500 you likely have a 70% block”. You can’t say things like that. Though, the higher it does go, it does indeed suggest greater potential for a blockage, that blocks flow."

"Let’s say you have a score of 500, what now? Well, those of you who have been following along my programs, know that all the things that I do: the Wheat Belly Total Health program, the Undoctored Wild-Naked-Unwashed program — all those programs, the prescriptive part of the programs, came from my efforts to reduce heart scan scores, or at least stop them from increasing. If we do nothing, if you have a heart scan score, say, of 500, and you do nothing, the score goes up 25% per year. What if you take a statin drug, an aspirin, and cut the fat in your diet — cut the saturated fat, and exercise? How fast does your heart scan score go up? 25% per yearThose conventional solutions do nothing to prevent plaque from growing. [...] Those strategies that I put together over the years, and we showed that you could reduce heart scan scores, or at least put a stop to the continual rise. [...] You can actually see on the heart scan images, you see can see the plaque has shrunk (at least the calcium part of it has shrunk)." ]

Where else have you seen claims of lifestyle interventions that will stop the growth of calcium buildup/atherosclerotic plaque, or even reduce it, that aren't just backed by argument but by a $150 common proper hospital non-woo test that can show whether it's working or not?
I don't think there's really anything wrong with selling rights or any of these things. When J. R. R. Tolkien sold the film rights in 1968 I think that was fair. The Tolkien estate selling the rights for US$250 million with all sorts of caveats about what they can and can't write about a few years ago? A bit less so.

In short, the root of the problem is really the duration; the rest are just things that flow from that.
No. There was never a legal duty to maximize shareholder returns.

There's a legal duty to not cheat shareholders by idiotic spending, pocketing the investment money, and the like. But there was never a duty to optimize returns to shareholders.

Yes my wording was incomplete. It requires intent, just causing the connection is not enough. What I wanted to say is that it's hard not to leave evidence of one's intent. And be it circumstantial. So while I'm sure a lot of blackmail happens with most cases never reaching the courts, I'm also sure that even people who are smart about it run the risk of a conviction.
