I'm very naive about all of this, can I ask what this means?

Evergrande has been ordered to liquidate, on paper this means that the Chinese subsidiary Hengda must also liquidate, but China's just... not going to liquidate Hengda? So instead of Evergrande's creditors dividing up Evergrande+Hengda's assets only Evergrande's assets are going to be liquidated? If that's right, how does that work? Does Hengda get bought and the purchase price distributed to creditors? Does China just tell Evergrande's creditors "too bad"?

I had Roborock with a camera and it had more privacy protections that I've seen in Roomba - the camera remote access was locked out, when cameras was on it had a loud "recording" warning, the API worked locally from app to the vac (which is not the case for iRobot), the map was stored on the robot itself, etc.

Kind of surprising, but it also got me thinking about how many of those options aren't available in western products.
I don’t use local LLMs for CoPilot-like functionality, but I have toyed with the concept.

There are a few things to keep in mind: no programmer that I know is sitting there typing code for hours at a time without stopping. There’s a lot more to being a developer than just typing, whether it is debugging, thinking, JIRA, Slack, or whatever else. These CoPilot-like tools will only activate after you type something, then stop for a defined timeout period. While you’re typing, they do nothing. After they generate, they do nothing.

I would honestly be surprised if the GPU active time was more than 10% averaged over an hour. When actively working on a large LLM, the RTX 3090 is drawing close to 400W in my desktop. At a 10% duty cycle (active time), that would be 40W on average, which would be 320Wh over the course of a full 8-hour day of crazy productivity. My electric rate is about 15¢/kWh, so that would be about 5¢ per day. It is absolutely not running at a 100% duty cycle, and it’s absurd to even do the math for that, but we can multiply by 10 and say that if you’re somehow a mythical “10x developer” then it would be 50¢/day in electricity here. I think 5¢/day to 10¢/day is closer to reality. Either way, the cost is marginal at the scale of a software developer’s salary.

In the minds of conservatives and some leftists, the concept that Kamala being unpopular is so ingrained that they cannot believe that she would be the nominee no matter what the circumstances. In reality she's not much more unpopular than her President and would likely see a massive approval bump if the worst happens to the current POTUS.

Even without that, she's the odds-on favorite to be the nominee in 2028 by incumbency alone. Basically anyone that follows politics understands this, but the silly conspiracies are based on motivated reasoning.
In my experience, some financial institutions have a very good understanding of risk.

They are able to identify, and most importantly, quantify risk in a way that many businesses cannot.

Consequently, they're able to take risks with new hardware/software that other companies shy away from.

> You can't tell me with a straight face that means privacy.

Given that I use roughly the same number of cloud and government services as other people, and live in a city, to me this is privacy. Without cameras or microphones it falls within my tolerance for information that third parties know about me given the risk of those third parties abusing that data (either directly or via hackers).

Sorry to break the bad news to you but your personal standard for privacy is way out of line with what the vast vast majority of people consider privacy nowadays. Up to you if you want to spend your life living in anger at that or not.

A lot of newer technologies solve problems that only very large companies face— mostly to do with scaling multiple systems and synchronising their state.

It’s in these companys’ best interest to recommend these technologies to all developers and companies, because it increases their pool of available hiring talent.

That’s how you get startups writing from the ground up, a micro-service backed SPA with layers of abstraction for the data to pass through; when honestly, a SSR monolith backed by MySQL would be better for them.
Hey jamager, thanks for the kind comments.

Totally agree, Asmodee has basically prevented a real competitor from entering the market. We have an idea in mind that doesn't involve going up against BGA, but instead looks at more smaller games from indie publishers. Not sure how viable that is, but not sure what else someone is supposed to do.

Copying my comment from the dead zzzeek post:

Long shot bets are almost always overpriced on PredictIt.

PredictIt specifically encourages these long shots to be over weighted thanks to their $850 risk limit in any given market. If one long-shot bettor places a max buy order for YES at 10c per share, the order book has 8500 buys at that price point. I can come along, see that what they're betting on is absolutely nuts and max out NO... but at 90c per share I can only fill 944 of those orders before I'm maxed out at my $850 risk limit. I might be supremely confident and WANT to bet $7,650 on this but I simply am not allowed to. So it takes eight more people like me to come along and plunk that money down before we're moving the needle on the order book.

In the 2020 election they somewhat mitigated this by making a dozen markets that were all basically the same question: Is Trump going to succeed at overturning this? They had markets for each state, plus combo markets they added like "Will Trump win any of AZ, GA, PA", plus the electoral college markets, the margin-of-victory markets, etc. But it was still way more effort to go in with a big chunk of change and manage spreading your bets out across all those different markets to max your $850 caps as efficiently as possible.

This is in addition to the other factors, that it is simply more FUN for people to gamble on long odds because it's like buying lottery tickets (who wouldn't want a 10:1 return?). And that, when you factor in fees, opportunity cost (I could have this money in the S&P 500), and counterparty risk (how long will my money be tied up if PredictIt gets shut down), it's really not very attractive to put money in shares in the $0.90-0.99 range unless A. you already have the cash sitting in your PredictIt balance and B. the end date of the market is known and approaching rapidly.

My sources are from real estate agents in China.

Not sure why anyone would actually trust official numbers from China. China still claimed 5% gdp growth last year. pretty laughable.

Also, you can just watch what multinationals are doing. They have retail numbers from their Chinese stores. And it's pretty clear Japanese and Taiwanese and South Korean and American and European multinationals are all withdrawing.
I made pretty good returns (e.g. 40% annualized) during the 2020 election on predictit.

I even found a pure arbitrage opportunity.

But you can't really scale up to make it worthwhile on PredictIt due to bet size limitations.
Yotascale is in many ways similar to Vantage, so a similar answer to this one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39178753#39181486) applies.

When we were originally researching to see if anyone had done something like Dashdive already (i.e., specifically applying observability tools / high volume event ingestion to cloud costs), I did manage to find a Yotascale video in which they mentioned defining custom usage events in Kubernetes for a specific customer. It seemed more like a custom feature than a generally available part of their product, but I could be mistaken.

> Livestock cannot talk to us about their symptoms, and eat all sorts of crap, so there's some important difference there.

My understanding is that parasite eggs can live outside the host for months if not longer (surviving long winters, etc) and can be smaller than the eye can see. They’re effectively unavoidable and that a healthy immune system keeps them in check.

> they'd go see a doctor who might investigate for parasites if the symptoms point to it.

I am really struggling to see any interest in the subject and very little data. From what I’ve seen doctors are fairly dismissive even when the patient brings it up (although this appears to be mostly hearsay but again to little data on what would seem to be a fascinating subject for researchers).

Anyway, thanks for your time.

I guess the wildcard is price.

AWS's pricing model works kinda at their OMG eyewatering scale - aka all the custom hardware they design is highly cost optimized, but just doing custom hardware has a notable cost. This is easily covered by their scale, to make for their famous margins. [during their low scale times, they did use a good bit of HP/Dell, etc]

Oxide seems to be no different (super custom hardware) only major difference being the "in your datacenter" part. Since you own the cost of your datacenter, Oxide has to come in a lot cheaper to even compete with AWS, but how do you do that with low volume [and from the look of it not-cost optimized, but instead fairly tank-like] bespoke hardware? Feels like the pricing / customer fundamentals are going to be pretty rough here outside perhaps a few verticals.

This type of structure creates risks around ability to pay which a well advised seller would try to avoid. You could design something which would mitigate that but it would likely end up costing more for the buyer to set up and run anyway.

In private deals (one where the company being sold is not directly listed), the traditional way to solve this problem is via earn-outs.

In both public and private deals, using the purchasers' stock as the acquisition currency is also relatively common.

Is it possible to appeal Google Workspace spam blocks?
I have an email/domain that I've had but haven't used much for the past few years and I'm trying to start using it on Google Workspace. When I get to the end of the signup flow I get a message informing my that they won't let me sign up because they believe the domain will be used for spam[0] (which it emphatically will not be).

I don't see any support options, is there anything reasonable I can do or am I just SOL and not allowed to pay for Google's tools?

Google works hard to keep spammers from using Google Workspace. As part of this effort, we refuse to create domains that we believe will be used for spam. Unfortunately, we may sometimes refuse legitimate signups. If you've been stopped in error, we're sorry for the inconvenience.

Google weighs several factors when evaluating registration attempts, including the number of domains that have been created from that location and whether the domains have just been created or have a good reputation on the internet. Users trying to create a lot of domains, who are using shared computers or computers infected with malware; or signing up for low reputation domains may hit this limit.

I'm not very good at physics, but I know enough to state confidently that FTL will never be possible. Anyone who has studied physics will agree with me: while there is a lot we don't know, every possible answer to them still needs to fit with what we already know and you can't explain several things we know while also allowing for FTL.

OK. The only communist "world power" at the time was USSR (Soviet Union) that was factually dominated and controlled by Russia. They had from the very beginning (revolution in Russia) dreamed about the world domination. They tried already right after the revolution to overtake Europe but were stopped by Poland. Next attempt was during WW2 but they were first stopped by Germany and then by US (partially, as even part of Germany was occupied by them).

USSR had very wide spy network and they had considerably infiltrated US.

China was also overtaken by communists and had some influence among some naive Western intellectuals but I don't know about direct influence in US (maybe it existed, I'm just not aware of it).

These days of course both Russia and China are actively attempting to extend their influence through spy networks or by manipulations in social media (and yes, there are also obvious shill accounts here).
I don't even want the blacklist idea floated.

In a few states, you'll imminently see any information about LGBTQ+ people, include mental health resources, on that blacklist. (This has already been the case for decades in various school districts.)

> Assuming the market uses real money, then on paper someone should be able to make a roughly 2% return by betting that the event won't occur. However, if this market isn't closing for a while (for example for an election at the end of the year), then no-one is incentivised to take the bet and correct the market, because they'll get a much better risk free return just by putting their money in a term deposit and collecting the interesting. And so the market remains un-corrected. Basically prediction markets have an accuracy upper bound determined by the current risk free return.

What if the deposited USD automatically earned interest at the current risk free return (think something like USDC on Aave in crypto land)?
