Dalio is a perfect example of just how much finance has evolved over the last 30-40 years. Risk parity today is a turbo vanilla strategy that every systematic shop can offer and that a master student in fin. eng. can probably build, and yet in like 1990 this was the forefront of systematic investing and got you paid. Bridgewater today is still riding on the fact that they "invented" risk parity.

Private doesn't beat public "massively" but probably comes out around 2:1. I'd say that's "solidly" but certainly not all the way to "massively". Further, that's a lot of public money, and there are plenty of private drugs that came out of that money.

Oh huh, he actually lives there. I'm so curious as to why.
The absolute magnitude of crime it catches is completely irrelevant. The earlier poster is incorrect saying is useless because

> It recovers 100x less than its compliance cost.

The proportion of crime that it catches is of interest to criminals and is what will have the deterrence effect, but whether it catches 10% or 90% is difficult to know as a layperson.
I get a notification on my phone when any money is deposited or withdrawn from my account. If its not something I've just done or an unexpected amount, then its probably fraud and I can tell my bank.

So am I reading this correctly that the raspberry pis and macbooks use the same wireless chipset and therefore driver, so development effort on the one is benefiting the other?
Catch what? Why would you do something so silly
> Because in both cases unless you biff it spectacularly the police is not going to catch you red-handed.

The barriers for police have also gotten lower over the time. The thing where a lot of criminals get caught is dragnet surveillance - just subpoena Google, Apple and the operators of cellphone towers for a list of everyone who was in the proximity of where a crime happened, and they have no choice but to deliver the data you yourself collected to the police.

This is also getting worse because it's just a matter of time until states with abortion bans subpoena Google, Microsoft and Apple for which persons that are regularly in that state have visited known abortion providers in another state in a timeframe consistent with an abortion visit, or who have searched about abortions on the Internet.
It works quite well for OLTP too. It's just that a lot of engineering effort went into features to make it workable for olap, which admittedly means that those hours didn't go towards further improving OLTP features. Overall though it's quite commonly used for both.
You can just search for it, you know.

Should also note that "wide angle" is very much relative and in this case means "about the apparent size of a full Moon in the sky" – so vastly different from what a photographer would mean by "wide angle" =)
Missing context:

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been friends with Dallas billionaire Harlan Crow for 27 years. Crow said that he and his wife have been friends with Thomas and his wife Ginni since 1996.

Is there proof they were bribes as opposed to the innocent explanation that they are just family friends, and it's not unusual for billionaires to offer a free ride to their non-billionaire friends on vacation?
This is clearly not true. Why else do organizations involved in large scale ML move to locations with more lax AML regimes? E.g. crypto in eastern Europe. If the risk of being caught was no deterrent, ML activity would be dependent on 'amount of launderable funds' and independent of AML regime - can you offer an argument showing this is true?
>it is really hard to figure out if the exception is really needed, or it is just a bad programmer being lazy at the expense of quality

That's exactly why you have (in self respecting companies) a sane internal standard for exceptions with workshops and trainings, and experienced senior devs review the exception requests, precisely to make sure it's never a lazy dev or junior.

This is a piece I was missing in my hypothesizing. It didn't even occur to me that Treasury needs the Fed in order to transact in this way.

I kept thinking about the Fed doing maneuvers as "one possible path", and the Treasury doing maneuvers as "another path", but they're kinda the same.

Thanks.
We were there over a decade ago with Euphoria, but I think they've stopped selling/developing it? GTA 4 used it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HauN98naZ9U
It really isn't so simple. My views on this are informed by https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/money-laundering-and-..., so you might want to read that.

First, there are widely known techniques to beat AML. Criminals use them. Using them imposes costs. So you can reduce the profitability of crime, and therefore its frequency, without catching much crime directly.

Secondly, one of the goals of AML regulations is to make it easy to construct a money laundering case against a criminal caught another way. This is kind of like putting Al Capone in jail for tax evasion. Tax evasion isn't why you want him in jail, it is just the thing you can convict him of. Prosecutors see value in these easy convictions.

Are they worthwhile? That's above my paygrade. Certainly patio11 makes a case that they might not be. But both of the things that I just mentioned show that the rules are valued for reasons other than routinely catching a lot of crime.
I honestly think that MISRA ends up creating worse code that's less reliable because it forces programmers into contortions to get even simple stuff done. It's like programming with one hand tied behind your back - and a lot of it seems to be for no good reason.

I'm thoroughly convinced that MISRA was invented by someone who hates programmers and just wants to see them suffer for no reason.

Can't use size_t because it's a variable sized type? Yeah, that's not a win.

Can't do early returns to keep code clean and clear? Now we have to do a heap of flags and nesting, resulting in less maintainable code. I'm so grateful to have my code improved this way.

Even the experts say that "deviations" are sensible and necessary. So what that really means is you shouldn't ever fully comply with MISRA because it's against common sense. And what does that tell you about companies which require MISRA compliance?
Of course there is more to it than just the phone.

If I gave you a 100k Alexa camera, could you make the apple event without all the other gadgets?

Sure the camera is capable, but there’s so much more around it. I think this tech allows the currently 18 year old next Spielberg to shot some cool video with relatively low budget.

For 99% of people buying this phone they were not even thinking of making a film of the keynotes quality to start. So talking about the extra gear is a moot point.

For the few that want to accomplish something like that, know they can buy a 1.5K phone, and film something that will look decent. Maybe not like the keynote, but good enough to be comparable with the quality of a movie shot 10 years ago. Which is pretty good especially if you’re not projecting it on a huge screen.

The other thing that will be coming in the not too distant future is ai enhanced filming. You film in questionable quality, and you feed that to the machine model to spit out something in higher resolution( both pixels per inch, but also color/light depth) in which case this phone quality will be plenty.
What about routine credit card transactions that you don’t tip on? Isn’t that the bulk of purchases ?
A range appropriate for the stated level is reasonable, but a range that (apparantely) encompasses their entire set of levels doesn't make sense. I would seriously wonder if the 100-700k part of the post was a mistake, because that would probably turn off a lot of candidates (preventing them from even applying).

Thomas joined the court in 1991, so I'm not sure that the 1996 friendship date helps him much.
> Anonymously load AI videos of that person jerking off in public or some other thing that would shatter their reputation, or worse have them confessing to crimes.

The former is more effective. The latter won't get very far if you deny it and stick to your story.

Most modern psyops avoid the legal system since there are actual consequences for lying. Before social media, public trials were the only way to get enough national attention to defame someone, which required putting some skin in the game. Now you can just tell your "truth" on social media and the accusation is as good as a conviction. Faith-based systems are easily exploited.
Exactly, and so there are a few outliers that don’t follow the spirit or good faith of the law. Guess what? You can ignore them! Nobody says you have to apply. There are plenty of other companies that are publishing informative salary ranges
I wonder how effective this is compared to the old and tired "diet, plenty of exercise, plenty of sunlight, and time with people who enjoy you and love you".
The money they spend on sales and marketing won't include the $263 million they spent bribing law makers (they have three lobbyists for every member of Congress) or the dark money they're spending on bribes we're not even allowed to know about.

They also spend money making tiny tweaks to existing drugs that work just fine for the sole purpose of extending their patents and keeping drug prices as high as possible (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evergreening)
What about 'neo banks'? I am with Revolut free tier and I know why they have a free tier/basic tier, because I know they monetize my bank statements and purchase habits for 'market research' and other insights.
The anxious depression that lasts for days is my main reason too. Btw I think you'd really enjoy the alcohol explained book I mentioned. The thing I took away from it was drinking is pointless because the relaxing feeling after first drink disappears and leaves an anxious feeling unless you drink more. This because your body releases a stimulant to counteract the depressive effect of alcohol. This stimulant lingers for while and is part of the reason many of us wake up early after drinking feeling anxious and not able to sleep. I'm going to check out that app. Thanks

No matter how big these funds are, liquid global markets are gigantic.
They are in equities, rates, fx, all sorts of derivatives thereof.

They are generally making millions and millions of smaller trades.
So sure they have $100B AUM and maybe 5x levered to $500B.
But across a million positions that's .. an average $500K position size.

Few if any of these funds ever have like $10B sitting in a single trade.

And even if they did, consider the result of a quick google search "Average daily trading volume of U.S. treasury securities 2000-2018. In 2018, the average total volume of treasury securities traded per day was over 547 billion U.S. dollars."
> If you have an iPhone you too can make such a video

You can though.

What it showed was that the real limitation to making high quality content is skill and knowledge. You can get away with just your iPhone, iPad and cheap lighting from AliExpress for 99% of the shots.

Having expensive equipment simply allows you to deliver that quality fast and at a consistent level. Which is what commercial clients demand.
We were doing it so well that we had to come up with memory safe languages :-)
> Please no. The beginner does not discover places where the form needs improvement. The beginner simply fails to lift after increasing the weight. The beginner injures themselves when they thought they could lift but they did not.

This assertion is contradicted by the hundreds of thousands of people (myself included) who have progressed beyond the beginner stage after starting out with the 20kg bar and without ever requiring the intervention of a human coach.

That said, I would have benefited from one. I had to completely deload and relearn my squat form because I was consistently leaning forward and de-emphasizing my posterior chain (now it's my best lift).

Speaking from experience, it's really pretty difficult to cause yourself an acute injury (i.e., worse than a nasty bruise) with 20kg if your form even resembles the squat, bench, or deadlift.

Granted, 20kg can be a big starting weight for overhead press, and if you're a petite woman you may initially need an alternative to the Olympic barbell even for the others.

Also, deadlifts are kind of tricky: a bare bar on the floor is a deficit deadlift. But a couple of blocks can solve this issue.
Yes, but when I deposit $100 with @Bank (ie, effectively lending $100 to the bank), they aren't loaning out $10 to a couple people, they're lending out $100 to a couple people, because they did the math and figured that they can get most of those people to pay them back before I ask them for my $100 back. This is all well and good, but they really are creating money out of thin air when they're loaning out more money than they actually have on hand.
Conflict will happen if it's a truly honest system. If there's no conflict, people are not telling the truth about things that cause conflict. Does it happen, and how does the system handle it?
That's the thing. The rationale sounds good. But where is the evidence?

The code base followed all the rules, yet it was worse and had more bugs than any non-conformant code base I have ever seen.

And teaching beginners to strictly follow rules instead of mercilessly rewriting and testing code until it is sufficiently clean and correct is the worst you can do, IMHO.

In the communist Eastern Europe where I grew up the nomenklatura formed the ruling class. And the only distribution of surplus was to themselves. The rest of us was starving. Common theme to all the “proletarian revolutions” I know.

All that changed dramatically with the switch to capitalist, market driven economy in the 90s leading to the amazing wealth and prosperity we are currently enjoying.

Meanwhile I am still waiting to hear about any communist success story…

I have met or value relationships with plenty STEM BW alums, but they tend to speak about it as a funky place, seemed to color their views about buy side jobs and suggest that you know what you’re getting into with a job there.

Seems anecdotally that it’s used as a stepping stone into leadership or used to bank savings.

Several tech leaders I know are out of BW.

An SRE I knew there was at ~$600 TC and got a retention offer at ~$900 when they left to do a passion job.
It's sometimes useful for areas with a bit of hair, but not enough hair to protect the skin from the sun. However, if you do use spray sunscreen, also make sure to do it outside or other very well ventilated area.

BACK IN MY DAY.. the flip phone, t9 input, 320x200 screens were pinnacle of mobile tech, and I longed for a future which started in 2006 with the release of the iPhone. Now, as a dad of a 15 year old girl, I am crushed that the ecosystem our generations helped build - with good intentions - rules her and her friends life from waking hour to doomscrolling pre-bed ritual.

It doesn't help being in a shared custody situation. Where my voice was ignored when it came to introducing the device to her in the first place (aware of some of the dangers that lurked at that time). My ex (her mom) are in a very amicable post-relationship, but we just couldn't agree on the "own phone" thing. Too early. After she's driving age. If she can't legally enlist she shouldn't be connected to the hyperverse. She can't decide what's right and smart, just what she thinks is right and smart.

One very important thought is to remember that these low life-experience minors just don't have the experience and mental faculty to deal with low quality bait the same way as those who have come before her and grew up seeing the dastardly intentions of people. They are still very naive, and the power imbalance of bullshit detection.

Anyway, I don't think I have a point here except to say I am ashamed for my role in bringing the pervasive mobile device reality to fruition, no matter how small a role I may have played in it. At least how it stands, now. At this point I wish there were alternatives to "the internet" that work alongside and identically to it, but with more controls and regulation to protect minors.

That's not to say there shouldn't be a regular internet coexisting, but one where our devices can choose what network to operate near identically on, but has more accountability.

More than one kid in our large district has been catfished and had their nudes leak and criminal investigations that lead nowhere.

No. If you have title, it's presumed that the land has been lawfully transferred. If someone/.gov wants to claim otherwise, they need to prove that. The entire mortgage market is predicated on that. Can someone cite an instance where someone who "inherited property had to prove their parents acquired it legally because their funds were frozen after a sale" because I'd be very interested in seeing that. I'd be a LOT more willing to believe that a sale fell through because the BUYERS couldn't verify the parent's title, but that's not what's described here.

Do buyers here not do a title exam?
Well I wasn't specifically thinking about Epic the publisher there, because yes I agree that is dumb and I didn't actually know that Epic was the publisher here. I thought it was just another dumb exclusivity thing.
Yeah, that's true. He's clearly been successful and the biography parts of the book were interesting.
It's hard to get right, and merely having a culture of openness is not sufficient - it is easy to abuse - intentionally or otherwise. A common theme I see is "X criticizes/scrutinizes Y more often than he does Z because of some bias X has against Y" (could be an implicit bias). Most teams I've been in are incapable of handling such behavior (i.e. recognizing that X is the problem and not Y).
Yes, it is definitely an older generation thing where people cared very much about style. It was necessary, because of the socioeconomic conditions of their time. To be financially secure, you needed to have patrons, and to lock in your patrons, you had to make yourself distinct by creating a particular style. Moreover, the lack of recordings before the 1950s, meant that people couldn't easily copy you.

Today, there are many more ways of making money as a player, and everything is recorded and ready to be copies, so people care less about style.

But I do care about it a little bit. My Ustaad had a very clear style of playing, where he made every note clear and distinct. So now, I don't like listening to some of the super fast rough styles that some players have. It is a legitimate style, but I have been trained to not like it.

Anyway, very nice to meet a fellow player on HN.
Not quite. From Marcan on Mastodon:

> So apparently WPA3 is just outright broken on Raspberry Pi: https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2023/11/06/wpa3/ [This is a link to the last article by Rachel, preceding the TFA]

> Good for me, means I can re-send our patch that rips out the (now confirmed useless and non-functional) Cypress WPA3 support and replaces it with the Broadcom WPA3 support that does actually work on Broadcom chips in Apple machines.

> We've had WPA3 in Asahi Linux since forever, the only reason it's not upstream yet is because the Broadcom maintainer guy was worried that ripping out the Cypress thing (that nobody knows about, and Cypress guys gave us the silent treatment when we sent them emails asking) would break Cypress. Looks like Cypress is already broken, so there.

https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/111367559488387627

So my understanding is that Broadcom (on Mac) and Cypress (on Raspberry Pi) are not the same chipset but maybe they previously shared a driver? Or something like that.

Now that they know Cypress is broken anyway, they can go ahead and fix Broadcom.
