In real life, the time scales are not long enough and the number of N samples in one’s life is too small.

This is why retirees over age 60 are concerned with “sequence risk”. That is, you get unlucky VTI/VOO/S&P returns for 5 years, but you don’t live long enough for the average to come back to 8-10%.

Downside risk becomes more important than average return.
The core concept of semantic web is that a “feature” _doesnt_ correspond to a behavior.

You can’t use emphasis to show italics, because it is used for emphasis- not a specific type of emphasis. And you as the author of a semantic HTML document don’t know how emphasis will work on the final users rendering.
Very innovative approach. As a founder finding a co founder of my match has been the toughest challenge. With tech becoming part of our day to day life it would be really interesting to see how an AI can act as a co-founder. Looking forward to trying it. All the very best.

The Enabler team type is outward looking, evaluating and bringing new tech and concepts into the business and training other teams. They will collaborate with other teams often in order to help train and transfer knowledge.

This is different to platform teams which are meant to mostly build internal services which other teams use with self service, meaning they don't directly interact with members of the platform team (allowing both teams to operate independently). That said, platform teams may occasionally collaborate with steam aligned teams when building out new features or to better understand the problems the stream aligned teams are having.

If I wanted to reach out to the owner, one could just open the phone app on the already unlocked phone and call anyone that seems like a close relative. Hoping for the owner to just randomly stumble into an internet post seems very impractical, considering that the phone likely contains a substantial amount of info about the owner.

Besides, why would the NTSB hold onto the phone for years? It's not part of the aircraft, there's no real reason why they'd need to have it at all. Is it just common with US government agencies?
The first thing that popped into my mind was the old "defragment disk" visualisation. It looked a lot like the later XP version[0].

> It doesn't matter that your accounting of your history is accurate or not.

There's a ridiculously destructive belief if I've ever heard one. Your PHD is an accurate accounting of your research. Your bank account is an accurate accounting of your earnings. I hope your wonderful girlfriend is accurate in her accounting of your relationship, because the alternative is she's cheating on you. See where this is going?

Dismissing accurate accounting of anything, including history, is a recipe for disaster.

Accurate accounting is the #1 skill that has drastically improved my quality of life.

> But nobody is going to make you change. You will either wake up one day and be so tired of your own bullshit that you will start to change.

You seem to be under the false belief that I'm somehow stuck unable to change. Don't know where this is coming from, but it smells of projection. You're dismissing accurate counting of history so hard it's almost like you're afraid to face the truth.

I'm not afraid of an accurate accounting of the truth, on the contrary. We call that wisdom.
Think of the relationship between Erlang->Elixir as that between C->C++. The latter is effectively built on the abstract machine model defined by the former. So whether you prefer Elixir or not you have to know Erlang. This becomes even more true when you have to go outside the Elixir/any other BEAM based language ecosystem but still need the BEAM facilities.

The Erlang System is actually an "Application Operating System (AOS)" (Joe Armstrong's definition) and the "Erlang language" is its "native system language". An analogy is writing Python code running on Linux but making a kernel system call through the C language interface. Here Python is your Elixir, Linux is the Erlang AOS(ERTS+BEAM) and the C language interface is the Erlang language interface.

I honestly feel like technical users would be using the "Never" setting more often than non-technical. When testing an app on the phone, it's really annoying having to re-unlock it because you looked away at a different screen for a while. Checking it on Android, never locking is a developer setting, regular display settings have a maximum of 30 minutes.
hmm:

Where CartaX and the cap table business converge is
if we match a trade in the marketplace, we go to the
company and ask if they will allow it.

Meaning: the company does not give permission or know that CartaX is trading in the company.

Asking the company about a pending trade means that two people who want to make the trade will be very disappointed, and will likely publicly complain that the company is blocking them, throwing doubt on the company.

This in turn forces the company to approve the transaction and permit the market, notwithstanding the adverse incentive effects on options/grants. Any approval of one transaction would raise scrutiny on any denials. Even the opportunity to bail cuts against the notion that people are in the same boat together.

A good company doesn't just "do no evil". A good company ensures its interests are completely aligned with their customers, so there will be no forces pushing them to take advantage of their customers.

I have a similar memory, there's something entrancing about watching a computer do a computationally (in space or time) difficult task with a visualisation about what exactly is actually happening. For defrag it was mostly a progress bar, but still it was fascinating to young me
In general, lots of hardware requires long waits to initialize. As in, program a value then you must wait 50 ms before querying the registers or the hardware will give you non-deterministic garbage with no error indication.

So, it depends on the hardware, though you are unlikely to need more than 1 second on anything other than truly degenerate hardware assuming you are initializing devices in parallel.

Is this really non-C-compatible? Seems like it just needs a libc layer written in rust. Most C programs don't make syscalls directly anyways (on some OSes they aren't even able to). The rest of the question is definitely fair though.

A lot of scientific research code is execute-once-throw-away code. Once the code obtains a result you can put into your research paper, it has served its purpose and it'll never be used again. There is no need for any kind of abstraction, software design, architecture or development best practices. You're not going to be supporting this code or extending it in the future. If you're a software developer, the way researchers write code rubs you the wrong way. But you have to accept the reality. Applying software development principles to scientific code is just a waste of time.
I think I understand the point you’re trying to make - as in, compare apples to apples.

However, if you’re trying to assess “Tesla has double the margin because they don’t use dealers” it’s not about the type of car.

Does Tesla have double the margin of xyz car brand that does use dealers.

But I may be a tad pedantic there.

Now I agree it would be interesting to know if they have double the margin in luxury sedans, but not in suvs.

Isomorphic Labs, an independent entity under Alphabet's umbrella, has embarked on research collaborations with pharmaceutical titans Eli Lilly and Novartis. These deals are to leverage Isomorphic's cutting-edge AI technologies, particularly the latest iteration of DeepMind's revolutionary AlphaFold protein folding software, in the pursuit of identifying and designing small molecule therapies targeting various disease segments.

The strategic agreement with Eli Lilly sees Isomorphic receiving an upfront payment of $45 million, with potential milestone payments reaching up to $1.7 billion, excluding royalties. This collaboration aims to discover treatments across undisclosed therapeutic domains, tapping into Isomorphic's AI capabilities.
I don’t disagree with you. Where I grew up there was a steel grated metal bridge. It would flood. Constantly someone in a truck would try to drive over, get swept against the guard rail, and have to be rescued by the local fire department. Eventually they just started sitting there in a truck whenever it flooded to prevent people from trying it.
(It was a rural area… drive around those bridge closed signs ).

Risk appetite and tolerance changes dramatically once you hit many commas and zeros in your net liquid assets. Hedge funds offer to "hedge" enough risk to make rich people feel more comfortable about their money (making rich people feel comfy about their money is a huge business in of itself).

Chasing an extra 2-3% in gains in return for exposing yourself to more draw down risk starts feeling very different when you have $200mm in liquid cash and even a modest +5% a year is $10mm.

On the other hand, sometimes you want above-average returns and are willing to pay the fee to potentially nab it.

> A "good" shutter count varies depending on the camera model. Entry-level and mid-range DSLR cameras typically have a shutter count rating between 100,000 and 200,000, while professional-grade cameras can range between 400,000 and 500,000. When purchasing a second-hand camera, it's best to choose one with shutter count well below its rating.

My sister's phone fell out of a bike basket and was repeatedly run over by cars. We used the "find my" feature and found it in the gutter, screen pulverized, in the shape of a banana but still operational and communicative over USB.

Company towns had their problems, paying workers in company scrip for example to buy necessities at the company store (a practice which has been outlawed) among other things, but conceptually they were more like planned developments intended to house enough workers and support staff to engage in whatever land-based enterprise the company was engaged in, where previously there wasn’t a town to house them all before.

They’re a bit outmoded now, since with the advent of modern transportation technology it’s usually possible to get enough people to live in or work from some nearby community that you don’t need to build a whole bloody town yourself. Also logging and mining aren’t quite the growth industries they used to be in the US.

Speaking of kibbutz’s though, if you want a rabbit hole to fall into, there’s all kinds of intentional communities out there. Probably most famously Amish communities, but there’s all kinds.

The crazy thing about the 9x defrag was that it required that no other program access the disk while it was working. When anything else wrote to disk, it would say "disk contents changed, starting over..."

You were expected to close down all programs and little utilities that hid in the systray (sorry, notification area). The OS itself was just the OS, there was no indexing happening, no update check, no random nonsense nobody understands. You could be absolutely sure nothing would access the disk on a cleanly booted win9x.

This does not surprise me at all. WINE under Linux through Yabridge runs perfectly some very old (20+ years) but still excellent audio plugins from the Win98/XP era that have problems or don't work at all on newer Windows versions. Gaming also benefits from this incredibly faithful level of emulation (WINE Is Not an Emulator), and as of today many Windows games, including newer ones, can be installed in a transparent way under Linux using WINE.

I've probably said this before on HN, but something that tickles me about this entire story is that Buffett himself did not get to where he is by just holding the SP500. But yet this story gets trotted out at the water cooler every once in a while as if this is the source of his wealth, and that it'd behoove us to do the same.

Except Buffett and Munger made their money on picking individual stocks and making WSB-style-yolo-bets on them. Or doing classic acquisition/PE stuff (Geico, See's, etc).

The other thing that always catches me off guard about this story (as a late millennial) is how Index/ETF investing was not a common thing when this bet was made!

Not really. You can get quite far in Elixir without knowing any Erlang.

Eventually you probably should learn to read Erlang docs (but not necessarily code) and maybe you might need to be able to read Erlang code, but this is truly rare.
