I'm sorry I don't have anything better on this. There is this fantastic interview of Ray Anderson, the late CEO of 'Interface' (modular carpets) where he describes vividly the kind of damage that industry is wreaking on the planet and what they are trying to do about it and it's depressing that for all that power and insight he managed to do preciously little:

At that level you can make some change that moves the needle. At the low-on-the-totempole level you're not going to be able to do much of anything without dedicating your life to it. Greta Thunberg comes to mind, though I'm not even sure if she is effective though maybe she'll inspire the next generation. Anything else is a token feel good thing that will not actually make a difference.

If you look at COVID and our collective response and realize the magnitude of that challenge versus climate change then the only valid conclusion is that we're in for a very rough ride, just how rough is the open question, possibly rougher than I can imagine hopefully less so.
Never understood the appeal oft mechanical boards. I've tried them often but always come back to low profile rubberdome keyboards. Cheap, disposable, comfy and I can't type faster on anything else
You are confidently incorrect.

Front running is when you take an order from a client and before executing it out your own order in first so you benefit from the bumpe or drop in stock price that the client would cause.

The key here is you have advanced knowledge of the order before it hits the market and you have a legal requirement to execute client orders before your own.

I believe it’s also been ruled to be front running if you get knowledge of the client order in advance of it being sent to the market by a third party.

But having a faster network and computer to allow you to react faster than others is not front running.

Take this is an extreme, if I watch a market ticket and react manually with in 20 minutes to news and you read about the news in the paper the next day, did I front run you by trading before you?

It’s the duty to execute a client order before your own and not tell others abouT the order before it hits the market that is the requirement for front running.
Well normal copper does this in presence of a strong magnet. I don't think we are seeing superconductivity, just regular copper Meissner effect. Super conductive would frame lock the copper. right?
We have recently merged PRQL support into ClickHouse: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/50686

It's currently more like an experiment - I'm not sure if it will be usable or useful. There are some concerns about Rust, although minor: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/52053#issuec...
Assuming the lift is there or the magnets are strong enough, it would be plausible to have an electromagnetic hover skate park where you could pay by the hour, and possibly even future X-game like events where the boards and riders could move in any direction they can get acceleration in.
That's an entitled perspective… not everyone has the ability to easily walk away. There are people who have high medical expenses and can't afford a break in coverage, people on H-1B visas, people who are in roles which are not in high demand.

> Any thoughts on Netflix's degradation over time?

I still have plenty of use for Netflix, but here are my thoughts:

From a creativity/artistic perspective: creativity is one of the things where simply throwing more money at it and/or "optimizing" it is not the solution. I mean, it can be the solution from a purely business perspective, but I'm assuming this isn't satisfying to you (or me), hence the "degradation" you speak of. Creativity, as in "good quality things you can enjoy but are not necessarily mass-produced for everyone to like" is not a "problem" to be "optimized" by whatever algorithms Netflix is using.

From a business perspective I've no idea how they are doing. Given their crackdown on account sharing, I'd say things are not as rosy as they used to be. Also, quite obviously, the competition became harder; Netflix is no longer the only player in town.
Even today we have no way of really answering that question. Climate science is generally aiming for a timeline around 2050-2100.

As an analogy - Imagine I told you that if you ate an extra 3000 calories of junk food every day you'd gain a lot of weight. You disagree, for whatever reason, and we carry out the experiment. If a journalist wrote an article on our experiment, and their editor titled it "Ajmurmann about to be 100kg heavier!", when would we be able to tell if they are correct or not? You might be able to make it a week while still being within normal weight fluctuations, but two weeks? Three weeks? A year? And when would we be able to determine the "correctness" of the 100kg number?

Comparing that situation to the Earth's climate - We're still in the first month of the experiment, and shoveling junk food into our metaphorical mouths as fast we can.
I do not see any rational argument for a Model M. I started on a PC then to XT, then to AT... I had two Model Ms and a clone model M. I had a choice of over 200 keyboards... I chose the G101 -> $31. It has the right feel for me, and its very quiet, I haul it around with my ASUS ROG laptop. At the desktop, I am using a white Dell KB216. Very light, and easy to clean.
Looks great! I've been using Figma to generate invoices, but might switch to this. Was wondering if it might be possible to get add a date column for the line items?
The lithium hypothesis doesn't really much scrutiny. I mean they include Canada, but exclude Norway because it's not a warm arid climate? Also how do they explain obesity in New Zealand (a country that they conveniently forgot when talking about high obesity countries), which had a single refinery which closed 2 years ago.

Also if proximity to oil production would be a reason, maybe don't treat a place like Australia as a single entity. The oil producing places are largely (with the exception of Gipps basin) quite far away from where people live. If that is still close enough, than all of Europe should be affected by e.g. Norwegian oil production.
GP is talking about the current density rather than the temperature.
Maybe you didn't see the more complex examples, but some of the SQL queries it abstracts are very unintuitive to write by hand. PRQL turns it into something more readable and closer to the expected mental model.

For people who can write error-free and complex portable SQL queries by heart this may not be really interesting. From experience, however, that is not a skill most developers have.
How weirdly fragile and vindictive do you have to be to initiate a formal complaint against a guest lecturer for making an observation about public policy you think is off-base? How lame do you have to be to even know how to do that, and to do it so fast that the lecturer heard about it when she got home?
My wife purchased a Bolt a couple of years before COVID (and the supply chain shortages); can confirm- the dealers really didn't seem to want to sell them. Her office is only a few miles away, and she takes occasional weekend 100+ mile journeys to visit family, so the Bolt fit that bill perfectly.

The Bolt has been a great, no-nonsense option. Other than the battery recall, of course. No giant screen, no fart apps. It was the first and at the time, only reasonably priced EV that looked like a regular car, that you could actually take road trips in, and not trapped in a single city due to an impractically small range (Nissan Leaf Gen 1, BMW i3, etc.)
This is probably going to sound ridiculous, but the risk of that happening is exactly why I'm interested in psychedelics. I'm autistic, and I was blessed with some really big pains in the ass, like being unable to lucid dream, having only dreams that mirror reality, and being unable to focus on my imagination even with my eyes closed (even the darkness is distracting). Mainly things relating to fantasy, and being unable to get enough of it to feel fulfilled. :/

As an example, I was wondering if taking psychedelics could teach my brain to be able to tell when something I'm seeing is not real, but after experiencing LSD I don't think that's really possible. Still completely stable and still know for a fact that reality is always real... which means I also "know for a fact" that a dream is "real" whenever I'm inside one. I can only tell dreams apart after they end, and can't even tell whether nested dreams were real or not after a false awakening... so I never really become lucid inside them.

> There may possibly be more subtle medically negative effects that could show up with chronic use, but I can’t really speak to that.

In my experience LSD causes significantly increased bloodflow to the head (for hopefully obvious reasons), chronic use could result in some more permanent cardiovascular changes related to this, but I don't even know how to start searching for a source on this.

I dont know the right words, but creating a plugin for DBT for this would give it a lot of traction I bet.
They should have put in the two weeks at least. Not because the company deserves it, but because the world is smaller that you think. A lot of companies won't even take you up on the notice, but it's best to give it, and give the two weeks if they do take you up on it.
How easily Saudi oil industry could be brought out of its equilibrium?

How easy was it to do that for Kuwaiti oil industry, and how long did it last?

When enough interests are aligned, equilibria stay pretty steady, exactly because there are several powerful interests.
Where did I say they should work harder? In fact, I said I had no issue with them not providing notice.

But I did point out that sometimes in life we need to force ourselves to work. Why? Because we need an income. Some people live a life where they don't need to work but most of us don't. Plenty of us had to go to work in scenarios where we didn't want to. Other half is long-term sick, kid is on school holiday, it's sunny outside, etc.

College education at US community colleges can be had for sort of cheap: you still have tuition in the $1000-2000 range per semester, as well as living costs. Example: Austin Community College, where a local resident (but not all Texans!) would be on the hook for about $1800 for a 15-credit-hour semester. If you have the good fortune of living in an excellent community college district, it can be pretty good; if you don’t… sorry.

College education in Germany and most other EU members is truly cheap: you have semester fees well under 500 EUR (when they were raised to that in Germany, massive protests pushed them back), plus living costs, no matter where in the country you went to high school or your parents live, no matter whether you’re sticking around at Eastern Bavaria University of Applied Sciences (a relatively new institution serving a traditionally less-prosperous part of the state, with enrollment open to anyone who got an Abitur) or managed to win one of the competitive computer science spots at Technische Universität München: both have semester fees around 100 EUR.
The thing is there's no reason why new patterns can't exist, created by the patterns of the HFTs, who could create new profit opportunities for other HFTs or day-traders.

Now, perhaps each new generation of patterns would have diminishing returns over the previous generation. My intuition is that this almost certainly true. But either an argument or evidence has to exist for it and I'm not aware of any.
Yeah, if one could solve the problem of identifying "most interesting ideas," that'd be good.
I am yelling 'Thank you' from the back.
You seem to be confused between descriptive, predictive, and explanatory models.

TA is not predictive. It can't help you anticipate the future. If it was, you could make consistent profits by using it, and no one has. If it's right, it's just as often wrong, in which case it's no better than a coin toss or throwing bones or reading tea leaves.

It's not explanatory. It provides no hypotheses for why the market behaves in certain ways. If it did it might have some hope of being predictive, but alas, as I already mentioned, it's not. And thus it can't teach us anything about market behaviours or their underlying causes.

TA might reasonably be thought of as descriptive, in that it gives a (voodoo) framework for describing observed market behaviours. As you say, we might observe the market is more volatile in the fall. But because it offers no explanatory power, we have no way to know why, and since it has no predictive power, it can't tell us if next year will be the same as this year. You're simply expected to believe that, well, it's always been that way, so I'll assume the future will be the same as the past.

As a result, it's frankly not that useful or interesting.
Clear skies and drier weather should result in reduced cloud cover, which allows more direct sunlight to reach the surface during the day, leading to warmer temperatures.

During the night, the lack of cloud cover also means there is less insulation to trap the heat accumulated during the day.

This can lead to hot days and relatively cooler nights, which can be characteristic of certain climates, like in arid or desert regions.

Does Microsoft have a reputation for good security, adequate security or poor security?

How has this affected sales over the years?

I believe they won the PC wars years ago and there has never been a good replacement system with enough customer incentive that met the same price point. It is this cow they continue to milk.
I have the impression that people don't take philosophy very serious, and I would venture that that is because philosophy has such a meagre empirical record, nor a solid formal base outside of mathematics and logic. This makes it practically impossible to judge the merits of a particular idea.

A somewhat extreme example: does it matter what Heidegger has said about a certain topic for any discussion? Or Žižek, for that matter.
If you hadn't upgraded the computer, would you still be getting software updates? If so, would the new software even run well?

The beauty of CarPlay and Android Auto is that it turns your infotainment system into a dumb terminal for your smartphone. As long as it can decode the video and audio streams, there is no reason it will not continue to get new features indefinitely via phone upgrades and new versions of iOS or Android.

Our phones are perfectly capable of doing all the things these car companies want us to pay extra for.
Interestingly these seem to be the only decreases in revenue:

- Windows OEM revenue decreased 12%

- Devices revenue decreased 20% (down 18% in constant currency)

Clearly from the post pandemic slump in PC shipments.

> when family members need some, they need to pitch how they are going to use it, and the expected returns.

If we're talking about money for investment purposes (you mentioned expected returns) then this is what's know as a "family office"

It's not really an old money thing. It's common for ultra high net worth families to establish a Family Office as a privately held company to manage their assets.

The Family Office runs like a business with a goal of maintaining and growing the assets under management. They may have full-time employees who are not members of the family at all, such as a CFO.

This isn't really related to family dynamics, though. Family members would have ownership stakes in the company and, therefore, proportional ownership of the Family Office's assets. If they wanted money they could sell some of their ownership to another family member (within the various stipulations, of course), but family members can't bypass the business and treat the family office like a piggy bank where they can ignore ownership structures and extract wealth for themselves.

This isn't really related to the "we are family" concept that that companies talk about at all. It's just a business structure that happens to be used by families to manage their wealth like a business. Individual's wealth is still their own to deal with as they please.

Sweet, it looks like the language M should have been (or should become)!

Granted, M would massively benefit from better tooling too.

I was an idiot and held out for too long. I’ve been out of work for a very long time, much longer than six months. I never experienced a market like this, even when I was trying to enter the market as a teenager with no real experience it took me three months. Now I have six years of experience apparently worth nothing. I should have taken a on site role a long time ago, but I was trying to avoid moving. I figured my luck would turn around for the better at some point. Idiotic optimism.

Now my lease is up and I’m fucked. My savings have been beaten from month and months of attrition and emergency expenses, including somehow owing money on my taxes this year. The rental market is so bad where I am, with people asking more money for fucking rooms than some of the apartments out here, I assume because most of the apartments have 6+ month waiting lists.
Adding tables doesn’t sound like a solution at all and views come with operational overheads that you need to be aware of.

Congrats on the launch! The sandbox is a lot of fun.

I played around with it, and one weakness I saw immediately was mixing real survey answers with imagined ones. For example: https://roundtable.ai/sandbox/609f54304935736c8e61816dea780e...

I find it hard to believe that so many people would prefer carbon emissions over free beer, massages, or being the pilot. If I condition this data on being male or female, the results change dramatically too.
I couldn't find that example right now but there is a similar line in the main example on the prql-lang.org homepage:

aggregate {
average total,
...
}

I can't definitively say why it is there, other than perhaps just to show that you can specify aggregations without having to give them an alias. The column name won't be pretty but if you're just interactively trying something out and want to see the results then you probably won't care.

Does that help?
Most people you ask aren't going to have an opinion that is worth voicing even if they do happen to voice it. People love to think in binary, yes/no situations, but reality isn't kind enough to present many of those in complex situations. Instead most systems live in a gradient. Sorties paradox becomes our primary means of argument and not a varying set of classification systems that break down the different pieces that belong to systems that have intelligence.

Myself, I consider both examples intelligent, but one has vastly more capabilities.
I try not to read these inevitable rebuttals as:

1.) You don’t get it.

2.) Let me explain.

3.) Science and maths.

4.) I’m no expert I believe in 3 though.

5.) Nothing is 100% accurate.

6.) Full Deepak Chopra.

But it’s hard to do that when something disproves its own validity so utterly.

If someone has a strategy to predict any amount of value from the market, it would be automated immediately (we’re mostly programmers here so that part’s kind of our bag), and so doing abstract that value away to a machine housed at JP Morgan or Citigroup.

tldr; It’s astrology for finance bros.

At least the crypto hype has died down again for another while. They perfected the above during Covid.
I can't tell if this is satire or not. It is so... Well, to be polite, sounds so much like an uninformed stock trader, that I find it hard to believe this isn't some sort of meta commentary on hacker News conversations.

There are plenty examples of where the technology can eventually lead in terms of entertainment, impact on society and news, knowledge work, and so on. It doesn't have to happen immediately. But to handwave The myriad articles about the subject away and just say " I don't believe any of it, what else you got" is a bit annoying.
