Sure, that line of thinking makes sense, but I do not understand the alternative. Are you saying that if we (the users) got new legislation (e.g., requiring warrants), then big tech wouldn't do mass surveillance anymore?
I'd get a Magic Mouse if they'd move the port. It doesn't even need to be an actual port, it could be a magnetic charger, I'd be good with that too. Just something where I can plug it in while I'm thinking of it, keep working, and unplug it when I notice it's at 100% again. Having a magnet would actually be kind of cool. It could be left up near the top of the mouse pad and you could just swing your mouse up near it when it gets low for it to snap on and start charging.

The GB200 is specifically called out by the linked article - I didn't pick it at random.

"The researchers point out that the weight of Nvidia's latest Blackwell platform in a rack system — designed for intensive LLM inference, training and data processing tasks — tips the scales at 1.36 tons, demonstrating how material-intensive GenAI can be"

While I certainly agree that old Xeons are selling for 1% of their original MSRP, it doesn't really seem like this disagrees with what I'm saying - if someone's buying it for 40$, that's not e-waste (yet). I do agree that eventually things can become e-waste if the initial savings are significantly offset by running costs. However it's not clear how much longer we're going to continue to see such large generational improvements in power efficiency or whether these GB200s will be entirely obsolete when such improvements eventually stop happening.
I can’t imagine using Flutter for desktop development if only because like most newer UI frameworks, it’s mobile focused and doesn’t come with important desktop widgets like tableviews/datagrids and treeviews.

The stack is indeed very similar to Posthog. The biggest difference is that we don't come with all the feature bloat (Session Recordings, Feature Flags, Surveys, etc.) and instead provide a very minimal and easy to use backend + API that is applicable to a ton of use cases.

We (Frigade.com) actually use Posthog as well as Trench in production. Posthog powers all our website analytics. Trench powers our own SDK and tracking scripts we ship to our own customers.

I actually tried to spin up Posthog originally before building Trench, but there was just way too much overhead and "junk" we didn't need. I would need to strip out so many features of their Python app, it would eventually be faster to build a clean solution in Typescript ourselves.

This totally depends on the asset and is nowhere near as straightforward as you make it seem.
For example, companies who mainly sell to consumers and require constant capex will generally be negatively impacted by inflation.

Your idea that the government will hold up the stock market just doesn't up to historical data.

I have wanted an electric motorcycle so badly for so long that I actually spent months of effort and a fair bit of money twelve years ago trying to convert one - alas, without success - but I'm still waiting for a machine I'd want to ride at a price I'd be comfortable paying. In the meantime, I've moved closer to the city center, and e-bikes have gotten much better - better even than a motorcycle would be, for many of the shorter trips. For longer trips, it's not clear how much range we will ever be able to fit into a bike, given the limits of battery power density; thus I am no longer certain there is an electric motorcycle in my future at all. Alas!
Well, iMacs used to be fairly common in music/video production. Given the move towards more casual use-cases by Apple, I would say there aren't many anymore, but if they were to put pro chips in there, I'm sure there would be more.
Finstruments is an instrument definition library, meaning that you can build the specifications of an instrument. Currently, this library is primarily useful for serialization and deserialization to and from JSON, but it can also be used for backtesting, option payoffs, tracking portfolio P&L, risk management, API integration, and document storage.

Regarding the Portfolio class, I opted to distinguish trades from positions. This is useful for tracking and organizational purposes. For example, if you enter into a straddle, it's useful to combine the put and call into one "trade" instead of just a bunch of random positions.

This is a very early work-in-progress, so I would suggest checking back in over the coming weeks for additional instruments and usage details.
The nice thing about Python is that because it's so pervasive as a teaching language, there are many tools for it that specifically cater to this niche. In particular, https://thonny.org is very nice for explaining basic programming concepts like expression evaluation and function calls.

And yeah, turtle graphics is the time-honored method of teaching things like loops, recursion, and parametrization via functions step by step in a way that is visually intuitive. Things like polygons, stars, spirals, and eventually basic fractals like snowflakes and ferns.

Your comment makes it absolutely worth it.
I'm not responsible for people's media literacy/competency. I'm also not going to take advantage of them myself, or promote people who do. Rhonda Patrick is probably one of the .01% of influences who, as far as I know, doesn't take advertisement money and is 100% merch + premium content including her online Genetic Report[0], which takes raw SNP data from companies like 23 and Me and provides you an extremely comprehensive report for all the SNPs in your report with every journal article publically available on that SNP and health outcomes associated. You can generate this report yourself if you know how with other genetics tools, but her tool is two clicks and much more value add than actual genetic companies like My23andMe's premium subscription. She routinely criticizes companies like Athlete Greens and other supplement companies, this is rare in the health-influencer sphere. Not to glaze her but I've only heard her mention brand names on the basis of their purity/lab testing and always points out when pop science studies are funded by these companies or other conflicts of interest that may distort the headline making journal articles. In fact, my journal comprehension has gotten better by listening to this podcast.

Personally find it extremely easy to detect scams. You also don't need a degree or much more than a HS degree to check sources, this was taught to most of us in high school.

You're right though, there's a billions and billions of dollars in marketing and misinformation aimed at the people who skipped that class in school (especially in the health space).

--- It was actually this report that highlighted that I might have a high likelihood for a weird genetic issue that causes you to have extremely low vitamin D. This caused me to go get testing for this as I would get bad seasonal depression in the winters. At the age of 27 my doctor told me that it was the lowest levels of Vitamin D she's ever seen including her elderly patients. This isn't something any of common mainstream genetic reports provide and they charge 10X more. You would need to generate a report manually through one of the databases to find those studies or manually look up individuals SNPs
That’s actually something you don’t want nowadays. A random app like xeyes should not be able to know mouse position at all times, for privacy reasons. (Unless you very explicitly gave xeyes super-extra permission to do that.)

We’ve long stopped living in a world where you should need to fully trust every piece software that you run as your user on your computer. And even probably trustworthy software can go bad at an update due to supply-chain attacks.
> Killing a bunch of random Danes

We don't really know much but supposedly they were mainly enemy combatants (and their affiliates, possibly including their families in a less generous interpretation. Although considering that the slave trade was a alive and well in Anglo-Saxon Britain killing women and children might not have been practical).

"Random" Danes have been violently terrorizing Britain for centuries, of course indiscriminate murder is always horrible but I wouldn't say it's necessarily comparable to what Nazi Germany was doing (maybe closer to what the Soviets did to Germans when they got the upper hand).

Existing welfare schemes do a lot to approximate a UBI scheme, just with a lot more overhead, paperwork, moral grandstanding, various other inefficiencies that lower the useful amounts, and stress for all involved. Still, if a UBI scheme were implemented today instead, I don't think much would change from the current status quo. It would probably provide for living comfortably enough, but not enough to buy whatever desired luxury or experience at any given moment. That's sufficient for a market to form. Whether labor activities like fixing toilets or cleaning yachts survive depends on the market price for such labor. Some activities will go away (like a well-swept shop) because the price floor is too high and automation hasn't caught up or been made cheap enough, some will just become more expensive, more and more will get automated over time.

X11 is far more inclined towards the idea of clean separation of policy and mechanism, which I think is becoming more and more evidently correct across the board of programming. When you start talking about libraries and layers, a policy/mechanism split is part of how to write layered code correctly:

base mechanisms that interpret the raw problem correctly (e.g. pixels on a screen, mouse position)
-> some policy that is in some ways mechanism with slightly more abstraction (e.g. drawing shapes)
-> some more policy-mechanism abstraction (e.g. windows)
...

until you get to your desired layer of abstraction to work at. This goes along with modularity, composition, code reuse. X11 itself has many design flaws, but Wayland's design is untenable.

More specifically: Nadella under Ballmer laid the groundwork for those things.

Dan lists three big wins for Ballmer: Bing, Azure, Office365.

Nadella led Bing and Azure. Not sure where Office365 sat in the org chart, but even if he wasn't managing it a _lot_ of services at Microsoft at that time relied on technology that was developed in Bing and Azure.

He was promoted for good reason.

I'm surprised the article and non of the comments I've seen in this thread mention effective altruism, which in the framing of the article is an attempt to scale caring in some sense.

The article helped me realize why so many people in the startup/tech/software engineering scene are drawn to effective altruism, it's a way to scale helping humanity in the best way possible. The effective altruism argument is that it's more productive to by mosquito nets in Africa than to volunteer at a food shelter because buying mosquito nets will save more lives.

But this article helps explain why I don't personally feel drawn to or buy into effective altruism. Because caring doesn't scale, you can only really care about a handful of people close to you. And to me that altruism feels better and seems like it goes further than donating money to help more people that I can't truly care for.
> No, that's just investing.

Yes. Investing is passive income. If you have $20M and your lifestyle requires no more than $800K/yr of income taxed a waaaaay lower rates than the working stiffs pay on the same, then a 4% return more than suffices to live off of income that is waaaaay more passive than most passive income frauds even come close to promising.

The difference between "investing" and "passive income" is mostly just the difference between blue blood and the new rich. A tale as old as time.

Working men of the world uniting would be an utter disaster, so instead they're persuaded at any cost to choose sides in this absurd dichotomy between two sets of do-nothings.

That rings true. I chalk that up into "lack of autonomy" category.

I feel like modern kids have their life path set out on steel rails. The whole system is set up to see who can grind away hardest so that someday they can be an obedient and hard working corporate cog.

In the 90's and early 00's, we didn't even have homework and could get into top tier colleges. The kids in my family are now doing 4 hours of busywork a day.

The incentives of education today care very little about talent and are one big struggle session.
Polymarket, as mentioned in the article, isn't either of those. The amount bet on Trump/Kamala is $2.59bn, amazingly enough. It's all done via crypto on the polygon network so anyone with access to that can bet. In theory some countries are blocked but if you just turn on a VPN you are unblocked. There's no KYC - it's decentralized.

With that sort of money you could see some sort of rig the election scheme be an issue.
