I don't think there's a single mark place nowadays that isn't a complete shit show and a travesty of what they set out to be.
If by “meme stock” you mean “a stock that is bought for fun instead of financial or political gain”, then IMO the article is right on. That’s basically the textbook definition of maniacal/irrational behavior - like a poker strategy unrelated to the cards dealt.
I can consistently give myself sleep paralysis in that position 90% of the time. I am tall, but I don't have any symptoms of hEDS. They'll figure it out someday. I thought more people got sleep paralysis, and just never clued it to it being a certain position (which I believe pinches the neck in a certain angle).
The Brits are doing way worse things. There's no way to limit porn sites to adults without demanding intrusive information. Most people want privacy when looking at porn, for good reason, and that's incompatible with age limits.

If you ask me, this is just a warmup to a broad attack on internet anonymity. Politicians want it to be literally impossible to be anonymous on the internet, so they can harrass their opposition.
I think that it probably goes like: 0/0, 30/0, 0/25, 30/25, 0/50, 30/50, 0/75, so that one in emptying into the other fast enough to avoid overslothing, assuming 5% goes to making the sloth fatter. This allows for a minimum "neither tummy nor turd" 20% sloth floor value.

If that were increased, we would instead see a series with smaller and smaller non-zero values for fullness as we approach maximum sloth fecalness.
Seems that a significant cause of college students struggling to pass remedial compulsory math classes is that colleges are often woefully bad at teaching. Are they really offering a 'class', or is it just a vaguely enumerated syllabus, delivered with the patronizing assumption that if prodded, students will remember the stuff they were supposed to learn in high school?

This is so weird.. my experience doesn't match with this data at all.
> You don't know what that number is? Then you don't intimately know the value of the company.

Unless he's an insider. (Which he admitted)

Exactly. Everyone's an expert in a bull market or when the stock runs without a down turn.

HN is an indicator to be bearish when euphoric posts like this are around. We'll start to see the short term dumping of $NVDA when we hit higher prices and the increased geo-political risk with China and Taiwan or a surprise declaration of war.
My final offer is 3 Coke bottle caps and 1 paper clip.
Quite interesting indeed. From Gamestop's recent Form 10-K (Q4 2023) SEC filing:

> "As of March 20, 2024 [...] approximately 75.3 million shares of our Class A common stock were held by registered holders with our transfer agent (or approximately 25% of our outstanding shares)."

I've never seen anything like this. It seems absolutely unprecedented.

Recently Ian Carroll posted an overview [2] on X where he attempts to untangle the mess of the chaos surrounding Gamestop and its stock. I'm not going to pretend to understand the (dys?)function of our financial markets or everything that he shared, but my eyes are peeled.

> Trauma everywhere, in what fashion? Perhaps because more people are talking about it, more people are getting the courage to talk about it.

Social contagion is a thing. Just because more people are taking about something doesn't mean it's true

> Eventually, the damaged start damaging others, people put their hands over the ears pretending nothing's happening, and the cycle continues.

It doesn't take therapy or a bunch of trauma ideology to know that hurting people is wrong. Someone could have a perfect upbringing and still be a piece of shit. Alternatively someone could have a shitty upbringing and be a good person. The latter case doesn't require the person to "come to terms with their trauma" in the methodology that gets dictated to them by this decade's version of psychology

What model did you buy? How complicated was the install? How did you buy it online - I understood Fujitsu to sell through distributors / installers? Where are you located?
Good. The first S in S3 is simple, despite nobody in software appreciating simplicity anymore.

Adding features makes documentation more complicated, makes the tech harder to learn, makes libraries bigger, likely harms performance a bit, increases bug surface area, etc.

When it gets too out of hand, people will paper it over with a new, simpler abstraction layer, and the process starts again, only with a layer of garbage spaghetti underneath.

Show your age and be proud, Simple Storage Service.
I think complexity should be seen in proportion to the challenge at the time. Yes, the main feat has been repeated - later. For their time, the Voyager probes are state of the art devices, and their design has clearly proven durable and forward-thinking. (Not an entirely empty opinion, either - a couple of months ago I went on a bender and read journal write-ups of bugs they fixed over time, etc.)

Sure, with this line of thinking perhaps you'd have to compare them more with the Pyramids or Antikythera-type devices, and I think I'd be comfortable with that.
> ultimately charge outrageous fees to consumers

By and large, it is the venues and promoters that set large fees. The reason they like TM is because TM will take the blame for charging those fees when in reality, they're kicked back.

Of course, the problem is that in many cases now, Live Nation owns the venues and acts as the promoters, so those kickbacks started going, ultimately, to the company charging them.
If you like these puzzles, you might also enjoy the minitorch [1] teaching library by the same author, which is a course where you implement a simplified version of the pytorch library from scratch.

Completing that course and understanding the differences between the simplified and full versions has been the most useful deep learning teaching resource for me to date.

In my life time, we've gone from having no imagery of the outer planets to what we have now. For people born after Hubble, this is probably hard to understand how fast we've moved in imaging our own solar system. With all of the data available now at the click of a button, it is sometimes even hard for me to remember that the Voyager crafts were the first images and were essentially "hot off the press" when I was seeing them in school.
The Linux kernel for example is filled with code that is at the limit of cleverness of the people who came up with it (e.g. RCU or intrusive linked lists). Turns out that once a concept is introduced, people can absorb it and become smarter. It’s just simply categorically not true that something written at the limit of your cleverness at one time prevents you from being able to debug it because cleverness is not something fixed and static.
Millennials are 'quiet vacationing' rather than asking their boss for PTO
This was not what was being discussed. The question was not about this war in particular. It was about all Gazans (or Palestinians in general) laying down all arms or other resistance to the Israeli occupation. The poster before was ridiculously claiming that Israel would end its oppression of Palestinians if they only submitted, and I was responding to that.

Even still, I do not agree at all that if Hamas stops fighting, Israel would immediately stop hostilities. I think they have proven very clearly, through words and actions, that they are seeking to break the spirit of Palestinians (or at least of Gazans), and to punish them for October 7th. If Hamas surrendered, Israel would just claim that they didn't, that it's either a ruse or that only a handful of the terrorists have surrendered and they need to continue the killing until they can confirm.

Mandates of any kind tend to have inertia: once the mandate is in place, the government/corporate apparatus is in place (and usually generating cash flows), it's often a similar amount of effort to get it removed and restore the status quo. That's part of the "slipperiness" of the slope.

The other part that may or may not be the case, is a tendency to expand the scope of a mandate. This is in part because the companies that derive cash flows will always want to increase them. It's also because the existence of the apparatus is attractive; it's an existing solution that can be coopted to new or expanded ends more easily than coming up with a new solution. And the ease is not just in implementation; it's also that the precedent is set so the opposition may be less powerful.

In this case, I think the recent trend in school board elections and local library funding of banning minors (or everyone) from materials on sex education, sex positivity, LGBTQ stories or discourse, etc. suggests how any age verification program might find public pressure to increase in scope.

Where it gets more dubious is the possibility of expanding the scope beyond minors (to identifying or simply banning everyone) or beyond materials of some (potentially alternative) sexual nature, i.e. to political, religious, foreign or technical subjects.
Or it means that earnings are lagging the price increase. They just announced a 629% increase in earnings from a year ago (461% non-gaap) and it seems to be accelerating.

Interesting read. Thanks for sharing.
Maybe it is by lack of experience, but I always treat tarballs like a loaded gun. I extract then inside an empty subdirectory in my home first just to be sure and then move the data as required.
It is no fun having to cleanup the mess left by an incorrect extraction.
> Millennials in particular have found workarounds to play hooky. Nearly 4 in 10 say they’ve taken time off without communicating it to their manager.

> Similar shares say they “move their mouse” to show they’re still active on their company’s messaging platforms (like Slack or Microsoft Teams) when they’re not really working, and they’ve scheduled a message to send outside of regular hours to give the impression they’re working overtime.

> “There’s a giant workaround culture at play,” Rodney says. While Gen Zers tend to be more vocal about workplaces that shame people for wanting to ask off work, millennials would rather take matters into their own hands but under the radar.

I'm surprised anyone got fired. Surely the tabloid publisher must have considered 200,000 € an acceptable risk in their cost/benefit analysis for a cover feature to boost sales? Or does this specific tabloid not fake interviews, contrary to others for whatever reason? I must be missing some kind of context here. Anne Hoffmann was the chief editor as well.
> it could start to mutate into something that spreads human to human.

The number of things that could mutate into a human pandemic is quite large. I'm still not worried. The current hype is over dairy farm workers being exposed to it, but as someone who used to work in a large poultry operation (100K birds at a time), I can assure you that the viral load (and thus mutation possibilities) of bird flu is far higher in an infected poultry operation than any dairy farmer will ever experience.
You would assume that, yes, we will learn lots from the only spacecraft that is continually travelling further and further into unexplored space...
Applying std::reduce to floats would be a similarly bad idea for having the compiler do it, except people will write it without thinking. Of course, people always struggle with writing correct floating point so I doubt it makes things better or worse, but it’s conceptually the library equivalent of -fast-math (which coincidentally would also auto-vectorize the loop but can impact more than just that).
Complete protein vs just protein. Animal protein contains all amino acids, and that is hard to find with non-animal protein.
Until graphite dust shorts the emergency hatch release switch. I do agree though that making a sensor and datalink that lasts half a century outside the magnetosphere and can even get updates over that time is extremely impressive and might not be replicable with today's mindset.
Pretty sure this is the stupidest thing I've ever read.

Edit: OP deleted it now, and I wish I saved it, but he originally posted a long spiel on how math is undemocratic because anyone can prove anyone else wrong.
Even if you think you know the topic, if you haven't seen the video, you probably don't know all of the topic.

The TL;DR is that the people involved have gotten to the point where they believe that a) the short squeeze hasn't happened yet, b) when it happens, it will take down the entire financial system, and c) everyone who holds Gamestop stock at the time will become fabulously wealthy.
Well, in this case, you have the CEO saying basically they didn’t know about it until about a month ago and then Vox brings receipts with docs signed by Altman and Friends showing he and others signed off on the policy originally (or at least as of the date of the doc, which is about a year ago for one of them). And we have several layers of evidence from several different directions accumulating and indicating that Altman is (and this is a considered choice of words) a malicious shitbag. That seems to qualify as a pretty solid exception to the general rule that you cite of not attributing to malice etc.
Append would allow to build a lot of other systems. I mean, the only functional difference between S3 and GFS is append operation. Google build BigTable, Megastore and who knows what more over GFS. You can't do the same with S3 (without having to implement the append somewhere else yourself).
They’ve been swinging around a bat a while lot, I haven’t seen them hit the ball much less knock out of the park. At most they’re scaring the pitcher with erratic behaviour.
Over the last two decades we did a huge social experiment where porn availability went from occasional access to highly restricted printed material to every imaginable flavor being anonymously available 24/7 on a handheld device people carry with them every day. If it "causes cancer", so to speak, we should have unquestionable evidence at this point.
> trying to understand what's happening in code is even harder

It's different in Lisp because you basically program a thing from the inside out, meaning that you don't just read the code from top to bottom. Instead, you constantly evaluate expressions and expand macros while going through it. It's practically like playing a game, and there's a good amount of fun. People often dismiss Lisps (Clojure, CL, Fennel, Racket, etc.) after reading Lisp code without any connected REPL and often don't even grasp what makes it so awesome. It's like disliking food after seeing it for the first time in a cooking show on TV. Good talk of relevance: "Stop Writing Dead Programs by Jack Rusher" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ab3ArE8W3s

S3 has had read-after-write strong consistency since 2020, so... yeah, I guess that's still 'recently', given that S3 existed for 14 years prior to that with eventual consistency.
The high net worth helps you push through things that are unpopular. The lack of it suggests there was existing and measurable popular social support for the idea.
Nicely written paper. Only big issue I see is that the 2020 dataset they used renders the discussion of verified Twitter accounts moot, since the rules on verification have completely changed since then, and verified accounts now also have financial incentives to maximize engagement.

Aggravating not to be able to apply the finding directly, since access to the streaming API now requires a $5000/month subscription.

I think it's kind of sad. Roaring Kitty started off doing pretty deep analysis of Gamestop. He was an early contrarian who confidently and politely disputed critics on r/wallstreetbets, bringing data to show the company was undervalued. Now it seems he's just decided to be one of those guys who tweets a meme, sets off a gambling frenzy, and (presumably) makes bank. It's no different from a pyramid scheme.
Perhaps ask for consent first
There are regional differences to that sort of behaviour.

Sure. Selectively preventing sales isn't. But it's not uncommon to have blanket prohibitions. You're right, though.

Isn't it an open secret that large venues contracted Ticketmaster expressly to do price fixing? It's collusion as much as monopolism. They run operations and absorb all the bad press.
My argument doesn't depend on the premise of Israel ending hostilities if Hamas surrenders. I don't think they will. The argument is simply that Hamas's continued hostilities will increase Gazan civilian casualties, which is difficult to argue against.
The immoral part is how badly many elementary through high schools teach math.

As a math-adjacent (CS) professor, it was painful to watch my daughter's math experience at her first elementary school. Part of the reason she's not there any more, in fact.

One of the nurses at the high school I teach at only emails SHOUTY-STYLE. She’s been there 26 years.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but this seems straightforward: the first link goes to an email that went out announcing a change, which seems pretty deliberate; nobody writes an announcement that they're introducing a bug. The second change doesn't seem to have been announced, which leaves open the possibility that it's accidental.

Although I suppose someone could claim the email was sent by mistake, and some deliberate changes aren't announced.
Note I said like being choked, not choking others.

The article has three headings which I'd paraphrase as:

1. With their poor eyesight, if they were fast they'd half-blindly get into trouble and fall to their deaths or whatever, so it's kinda-sorta beneficial given that other constraint.

2. Being slow-by-design reduces calorie needs, meaning they can survive eating a smaller amount of stuff and stuff that other animals also don't want as much. This lets them fit into a low-competition niche.

3. Most nearby predators are looking for fast-moving targets, so being slow helps them avoid being detected.

Because the Mercedes solution works, today, with legal guarantees, under quite precisely specified conditions. It allows you, in those specified and advertised conditions, to play a game or read a book or take a nap while driving.

In contrast, Tesla only has promises. In practice, you can't do anything with FSD that you couldn't do without it, because you have to pay exactly as much attention when it's engaged as when it's disengaged, and you can't take your hands off the wheel or it full-on disengages.

Mercedes has an excellent base to build up from. Tesla has next to nothing.
