> Surely all the HFTs have enough money to short it and earn money off of it.

They asked their shareholders to disable short loans (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-18/trump-med...).

Before that, everyone was already shorting to the point of 500% fees. https://www.morningstar.com/news/marketwatch/20240406227/why...

"Based on that data, to short 100 shares of Trump Media & Technology Group at the current price, it would cost between $24,895 and $29,874 a year. That means the stock would have to fall about 1.4% a day just to cover the cost of shorting it. And if the short were held for a year, the bet would still lose about $20,000 to $25,000, even if the stock price fell to $1."
Millbrae or Milpitas?
Do we need a specific law for this? If it's bad for the companies involved, shouldn't that be something their board take care of? If the directors are failing in their supervisory duty, isn't that something a shareholder lawsuit can address?
> when people become too old to walk without assistance, you wouldn't say that they have a walking disease.

Why not? We have some peculiar cultural memes related to accepting the inevitable end of life, which we perhaps should revisit. I see no reason to not consider aging itself as a slow-burn disease, one we'll hopefully cure at some point too.
In this case I would assume it is from someone who has never looked at an actual slide or slide projector or knows that the software terminology is rooted in things that came before it.
There was no "Crisis". Market cost structure changed. So did the incentives. The market balanced itself.
My favorite takeaway was when I said "Man, this sounds great! You really can hear the warmth from the analog tape." His response: "I have no idea what you're talking about." He just stared, waiting for me to respond. As a young man of 29 years I had never felt so stupid in my life. He timed it well though, and followed up with an explanation of the mics he was using and his disdain for ProTools.
I knew an entire custom manufacturing company with 40 employees run with one main engineer, who worked 50-60 hours to complete his work so the employees in the shop could run the machines and do assembly.

He died one day suddenly at 50 years old. He had been the sole engineer for 10 years.

A week later I was training his replacement on how to use the PM tool I provide for his company. Same office, same chair.
If they aren’t giving a company their full attention, then surely that’s seen the companies performance and share price?

I've been here a hot minute and I agree with you. Lots of good faith. Lots of personal anecdotes presumably anchored in experience. Some jokes are really funny, just not reddit-style. Similarly, no slashdot quips generally, such as "first post" or "i, for one, welcome our new HN sentiment mapping robot overlords." Sometimes things get downvoted that shouldn't, but most of the flags I see are well deserved, and I vouch for ones that I think are not flag-worthy
Or any of those nature preserves, eh? We could develop even just one of them and pocket a cool trillion!

For an EV, they could be useful in stopping/starting. Rather than having regen go to the battery you could first send it to a capacitor which then trickle charges the battery (reducing wear). And rather than pulling directly from the battery, you could pull from a capacitor first to get to cruising speed. That would allow the battery to slowly discharge into the capacitor rather than going directly into the motor at full force.

You'd play to capacitors high cycle life and fast charging/discharging capabilities rather than their density.
Thing is it doesn't need to be super dense, people just need to stop kicking and screaming about every development that's going to "bring riff-raff" into the neighborhood and make it "hard to park". Stop looking skittish every time you see a person not like you and stop buying urban assault vehicles and dumping them on the street like that's your birthright.

raises, throws, & exits. rescue vs catch. as for binary vs charlist, some dependencies wanted binary, others wanted charlist. faced with the choice of re-write the dependency to use binaries, or wrap it with pre/post converters, we chose the latter. after the third or fourth global search-and-replace thanks to elixir's renaming of built-ins just for the hell of it, we re-wrote it in go, and never looked back.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has had awful luck with that IntelliJ Elixir plug-in. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it just doesn't work for me.

I've been using emacs + elixir-mode + alchemist since Elixir came out and I have zero complaints, it all works beautifully complete with autocomplete, jump to definition and documentation popups. But obviously emacs isn't for everyone.

Stack Overflow suspension for "improving" a question
That is pretty horrible, on the level of "junior engineer" who has no idea of good industry practices and needs careful code review. I would hate to see the system as presented on any of my projects.

Summary: The point of summary is to tell "why" the change was made and highlight unusual/non-trivial parts.. and examples absolutely fails there. To look at first one:

- Why was "generate" result type updated? Was it customer request or general cleanup or prep for some ongoing work?

- The other 3 points - are they logic fallout of output type update, or are those separate changes? For latter case, you really want to list the changes ("Updated examples to use more recent gpt-4 model" for example)

- What's the point of just saying "updating X in Y" if you don't say how? this is just visual noise duplicating "file changes" tab in the PR.

Suggested changes: those are even worse - like https://github.com/relari-ai/continuous-eval/pull/38#discuss...

- This is an example file and you know where the "dataset" comes from. Why would you have non-serializeable records to begin with?

- This changes semantics from "let programmer know in case of error" to "produce corrupted/truncated data file in case of error" - which generally makes debugging harder and gives people nasty surprises when their file is somehow missing records. Sure, sometimes this is needed, but in that particular file it's all downsides. This should not have been proposed at all.

- Even if you do want the check somehow, it's pretty terrible as written - the message does not include original error text nor bad object nor even line number. What is one supposed to do if they see it?

I generally agree. However, some kids of rich people turn out spoiled or lazy.
Especially, when the CEO's very confrontational public opinions has soured potential customer from wanting to be seen driving a Tesla. There is a political divide for those interested in green energy and those who are not. It has become a tribalist identity issue in US politics. Liberals are generally those buying EVs, while conservatives are more inclined to buy IC vehicles. It is a dumb issue to be politically divided on, but here we are. When Elon says things liberals don't like, liberals do not want to associate with him or Tesla.

If Tesla's plan is to sell more EVs, they should find a new CEO.

Personally, I don't think ChatGPT will start running ads in the next ten years. However, let's assume that it does.

Lmsys is for research, I suspect if it runs ads it will be like godbolt (a small ad from a relevant sponsor).

Llama 2 and 3 can always be run locally without ads. I make no claims about future versions.
Even if it was lightning-fast, it never was a game changer, as it has very low quality of output.
I agree with the meaning and the premise of your question, but, pedantically, it is not always a good idea to go out and admit how effective a secret program is. Think about it in the context of national security and foreign policy - e.g. "we have broken 86% of other governments' encryption" - is not a stat you'd share. Maybe more pointed to the discussion here, by sharing how the program is successful, it would be a powerful indicator about what kinds of crimes criminals should focus on with the lowest risks.

The brain is good at re-mapping things where it can make a distinction, but it seems to only learn distinctions in so-called "critical periods". See doi:10.1038/228477a0 for a famous 1970s experiment on the subject.
I do really feel your frustration, but at the same time, the network and ease of use of gas refueling has just had so much more time to grow and become ingrained in society.

Irrelevant. If you're taking on the incumbent you better have done your homework and made the experience as frictionless as possible. There's no technological reason recharging an EV has to be as difficult as it is, but companies are completely addicted to building a walled garden around you and selling your data.

This implies one's being upper class is a reflection of having better habits than the poor, which is incorrect. They just have more money. Rich people could not survive poverty.
People are going to keep living their lives approximately according to local solar time, which means that the meaning of X time in practical terms ("is this a good time to call?") is going to be different from place to place, so people would need some way of looking up the normal schedule of a particular location. And now we've re-invented time zones but probably with slightly different details, meaning that we can't just re-use the old time zone tracking infrastructure as is.

The way humans do it is via curiosity/boredom/surprise. If we can't predict some thing well (i.e. we're "surprised" by it) then that both acts as learning trigger to predict better next time, as well as retains our interest to explore it.

Eventually AGI's will need to learn by experimentation as we do, but in the meantime ability to well predict a potential training sample could be used to decide whether to add it to training set or not. At the moment it seems the main emphasis is on a combination of multi-modality (esp. video) and synthetic data where one generation of LLM generates tailored training samples for the next generation. I guess this synthetic data allows a more selective acquisition of knowledge than just adding surprising texts found in the wild.

Americans also consume way more per capita than Europeans. For future trade deal deliberations, EU must demand US pay for its pollution. Carbon credits, but not for goods, but individuals. Tax the carbon of imports, too.

It's astonishing how much impunity US gets on not doing anything of value in regards to the Climate crisis. China leads in solar rollout, China leads in EVs. China leads in HSR. EU leads in building codes/insulation/heat pump adoption (you can't import most of the heat pumps into US because uhh scary refrigerant is being used!).
So when Tesla sold cars in China, then Beijing prevented Tesla from getting the proceeds of those sales out of the country, Tesla said, "oh, well," and kept selling cars in China; is that your speculation on what happened?

It might happen in the future, but it's worth considering that a powerful prosthetic limb or exoskeleton that is superior to the biological version in every way makes both the disabled person and the perfectly healthy person equally superhuman.

Personally I think we don't need to screw the Bay further, and it would be taking away marsh habitat from birds and other animals whereis building in the ocean would create new habitat underwater and a new overwater place for the birds (kind of micro-Faralon). And I also think that building a large foundation in 100-200ft deep ocean is easier and more feasible than dealing with all the issues wrt. truly large development in Bay Area.
Many of the top level comments here are made by people who are fetishizing doom through intelligent-sounding but mostly unfounded and entirely speculative scenarios that they love to talk about as if they knew what they're talking about.

It's common on this site on many topics way outside of tech and if you add in the popularity of making the worst out of climate change, it's only magnified for that subject among a certain social subset that predominate here.

Many of the completely despondent, "we're fucked" opinions here don't even reflect the actual latest scientific consensus on what climate change will likely do, and some HN comment opinions are outright irrational on claiming apocalyptic scenarios.

Nobody who is serious about the good science around the effects of climate change should take them seriously.
Well, it seems like if I was bullish on tesla and believed their growth story I’d be extremely interested in making sure that elon gets what he wants, because it seems he is basically threatening to gut parts of the company if he doesn’t. Cannot imagine how this is legal or tolerable, but lots of stuff he does I think this is the case and nothing seems to really matter and number go up.
It was called a deck in Neuromancer. Maybe that is the origin of that usage?
Lol what a typical comment for today's HN. Condescending ("just plain wrong") with a jab ("this isn't a hugbox") placed in just to remind you that not only are you perceived to be wrong but you've provoked anger. No proof to provoke the jab, no feedback to help fix what you perceive as wrong sentiment analysis. Just thoughtless condescension and anger. Why is the sentiment wrong? Is this a data analysis trap the OP fell into? Nah let's insult the OP instead.

In my experience having run a bunch of different sentiment models on HN comments, HN comments tend to place around neutral to slightly negative as a whole, even when I perceive the thread to be okay. However I've noticed a huge bump in negative sentiment on large HN threads. I generally find that absolute sentiment doesn't work in most corpuses because the model reflects its training set's sentiment labels. I generally find relative sentiment to be a lot more useful. I have yet to do a temporal sentiment analysis on HN but I have a suspicion that it's gotten more negative over time. I agree with another poster that I think HN needs to be careful to not become so negative that it just becomes an anger echo.

Relative sentiment on this site between topics is something I've done and the obvious results show. Crypto threads are by-and-large negative, most political and news related threads are also highly negative.

> The "well-regulated" part means that the citizens themselves are supposed to regulate their own and each other's use of arms so that they are not used to promote tyranny instead of resist it.

This trips up a certain segment of the populace, though, if we take your explanation at face value.

In many states and locales, the citizens have regulated their own and each other's use of arms (I disagree with your limitation of 'not used to promote tyranny' - that is not a limitation present in the wording). They've delegated that regulation to their state or locale, by means of voting and legislation.

And then they get told they can't.

So it's "well-regulated", but "not that way"?
I loved Blade Runner when it came out, cheesy voice over and all. At the time, I was a regular at showings of film noir that popped up at my local film center so I understood the vibe created by Ridley Scott. And I loved the Sci-Fi fusion. I remember watching later with my brother on pay-per-view and he was bored out of his gourd.

I really didn't consider the philosophy of deeper meaning contained within, so the contradictions this article points out never bothered me. They still don't. Yet I agree that the discussions around this movie that have taken place for 40 years, and its revival after box office failure continue to amaze. I do love Ridley's "Final Cut" version and the sequel as well which cements Deckard's replicant status.
