Well yeah they just cut $1B/yr of spending from their books.
Direct indexing is WAY more valuable to US citizens living in the EU than US citizens living in the USA because of the painful intersection of MiFID II rules and US tax law (PFIC tax cancer makes buying EU domiciled funds a non-starter). Brokers will not sell US domiciled ETFs to US citizens living in the EU unless they can opt out of the consumer disclosure rules (e.g. by becoming an elective professional client of their broker under MiFID II rules). So these 2 million US expats have no choice but to manage a portfolio of individual stocks or pay exorbitant AUM fees. The first half-way decent direct indexing product that accepts US expats residing in the EU will make a killing!

Got it! I'm not sure if that was what OP was asking, but it's a really interesting question.

We don't currently support launching a workflow atomically from within an existing database transaction. I'd love to learn about the use case for that!

We do support calling a database transaction as a workflow step, which executes entirely atomically and exactly-once: https://docs.dbos.dev/python/tutorials/transaction-tutorial
How about we wait till they have given a single public ride before crowning them winners? At the moment Tesla's effort is nothing more than a marketing campaign.
I could do a undergrad essay on how the dealership model is bad for the manufacturers, which would boil down to how Indian motorcycles failed (which was also due to mismanagement). However, the VW scouts are an absolute abomination that should be cleansed from the earth.

They aren't going to be any good as an off-road vehicle, the approach/departure angles are horrible. They will also be way too heavy, just as a function of being an EV. Plus, the styling is absolute garbage. I've owned a scout 80 for 18 years, it was my first vehicle. I owned an OH scout for longer than they have been collectible. This new scout doesn't have any styling cues to any prior vehicle, it just looks like if you asked an AI to generate an off-road truck. And they even had a better example, the new broncos absolutely hit it out of the park. Line I E if those up next to a mid 60s bronco and you can see the resemblance, which is why Ford did that in their marketing. These new VW scouts, if you park them next to either an 800 or a scout 2, don't even look like the same lineage. They are just an abomination, and the only car company I'd trust less with shepherding the scout brand would be stellantis2. We've seen how poor of a job they've done with the jeep.

And the stupid part is,most people don't and have never understood why the original scout was good. They were an overly heavy, underpowered, and expensive vehicle. But, they were a tremendously capable off-road vehicle, my stock scout 80 has gone places a modern Rubicon with lockers couldn't go. It's down to a very fortunate suspension design and stupidly low gearing.

PFOF does two things and you're only focusing on half of it.

1. It segments the counterparty they trade with.

2. They get dibs on new orders arriving.

You're only talking about 1. I'm talking about 2.

1 is also bad because this segmentation also gives them inforamtion no-one else can get. But the chain of reasoning to concretely show why its bad (for someone getting their orders PFOF'd) is less obvious and longer.

> Imagine you are a market maker: you offer 2 APIs.

This is so wildly different from how market works. You'll have to clarify what you mean. If the only way to trade is through the API, then you'll offer infinite spread on both. If normal markets exist alongside, then I don't bother using either.

Should we also assume that Mercedes cars can fly better than a plane, because we have not yet seen them fly?

Right.

Google acquired Kaggle in 2017, and also Appen acquired Figure Eight (formerly CrowdFlower) in 2019, both of which used to be open-source-friendly places to post datasets for useful comments/analyses/crowdsourced hacking, in general without heavy and restrictive license terms. (There is also still the UC Irvine Machine Learning Repository, https://archive.ics.uci.edu/). Kaggle still may be, just beware of the following:

Kaggle at some point began silently disappearing some (commercial) datasets from useful old competitions (such as dunnhumby's Shopping Challenge 2011 [0], even though it was anonymized and only had three features). So you can't rely on the more commercial datasets being around to cite and for replicability.

Also, according to [1] "you can be banned on Kaggle without any warnings or reasons, all your kernels and datasets will became inaccessible even for downloading for yourself and support will not answer you for weeks (if ever)".
Usually IME I'd heard it's on (AI-based) suspicion of cheating (or using multiple accounts to bypass submission limits, or collusion between teams on submissions), or post-2018 gaming and account-warming/transfer to boost rankings. But the AI might do false-positives, and it's reportedly nearly impossible to reach live human support.

Kaggle added DOIs in 2019 [2], at least for academic datasets, not by default.

BrainDump: Apple Notes + VoiceMemos + ChatGpt in 1.

What is it?
- Apple Eco-system based voice note taking/journal.
- Tried various note taking apps. Nothing stuck like Apple Notes.
- Writing by hand was the best way to get clarity but seemed high friction. Talking about ideas with friends/colleagues was the second best to thought clarity.
- Basically combined it. Voice -> Transcribe (whisper accuracy locally) -> Rewrite with COT LLMs.
- Helped me maintain journal now ( life events, ideas, anxiety days etc ). Added some prompts to help me. ( researched what experts in the field recommend; as an example - How do I start? And what do i say if i want to gratitude journal ).

Since launch, more than 50% end up using it for meeting notes.

That's kind of interesting because the limited understanding I had based off an interview I watched was the code talkers were not actually using Navajo as some form of steganography. Even a direct translation to Japanese by an expert in both languages would give you a seemingly meaningless sentence. I specifically remember the guy saying "potato" was used to refer to hand grenades for example.
I'm not going to argue further on this line, I think we could see approximately where we'd end up agreeing. However, on this:

That's part of the story.

The real reason why this is a domain where AI models can thrive is actually because we already have extremely complex, well-developed, physics-based simulations of the atmosphere which can take all of these observations and do useful things with them. So the task we currently ask AI models to do with regards to weather forecasting is actually much, much simpler than what you're proposing - we're simply asking the AI models to emulate what these existing models are capable of doing.

Actually doing useful things with the observations alone is a different story altogether. It's the fact that we've been developing computer simulations of the weather and climate since the 1950's that is the key enabler here.
Possible minor bug: I searched for "New York, NY, USA" and it showed 41 maps of only Staten Island. I had to search for "Manhattan, New York, NY, USA" to get the maps I was looking for.

The number of near-miss incidents like this, combined with the fact that we're still here standing, makes a pretty strong case for some kind of many-worlds "anthropic principle" / "quantum immortality" effect, IMO.

Tesla is not "dominating" Waymo, they provide completely different offerings. Waymo provides a taxi service (like Uber) with autonomous vehicles. Tesla sells cars that offer a driving assistant feature, but the system is not able to operate safely without human supervision.

Freshwater shortage and how to fix it
Why is that? Does it lack features for real life usage? Or is it too expensive?
Best practice (for many reasons) is to separate scraping (and OCR) and store the rawtext or raw HTML/JS, and also the parsed intermediate result (cleaned scraped text or HTML, with all the useless parts/tags removed). This is then the input to the rest of the pipeline. You really want to separate those, both for minimizing costs, and preventing breakage when site format changes, anti-scraping heuristics change, etc. And not exposing garbage tags to AI saves you time/money.
You're coming into a market where most providers make much more money, and you're undercutting and selling for $1/month. $1/month is below even most cheap B2C services, and many customers are likely to want a product like this to manage a large number of assets.

With what other product, service, arbitrage, float, or other mechanism do you intend to make more substantial amounts of money? Knowing what this is would help potential users trust you more. "Ah, that model makes sense" is a more comfortable reaction than "I'm skeptical that this will continue to exist as a going concern that meets anyone's expectations".
Compared to Celery, DBOS provides a similar queuing abstraction (Docs: https://docs.dbos.dev/python/tutorials/queue-tutorial) DBOS tries to spread out queued tasks among all workers (on DBOS Cloud, the workers autoscale with load), but there isn't yet support for running specific tasks on specific workers. Would love to learn more about that use case!

Compared to Dagster (or Prefect or Airflow), exactly like you said, a DBOS workflow is basically a more flexible and lightweight DAG. The visualization piece is something we're actively developing leveraging OpenTelemetry--look for some cool new viz features by the end of the month! I'm interested in the "retry step 2 only" or "retry from step 2" use cases--would love to learn more about them--we don't currently support them but easily could (because it's all just Postgres tables under the hood). If you're building in this space please reach out, would love to chat!
… our brains are physical systems which themselves can be modeled by mathematics..

How do you know this? What is the model? Can an AI come up with the Incompleteness Theorems? It can be proven ZFC that PA is consistent. Can an AI or Turing Machine or whatever do the same?

EDIT: I’m equating “our brians” with consciousness.
> That's actually quite a long time for an AI model.

Sure, but it's several orders of magnitudes smaller than the parent, physics-based weather model it's emulating, which may take 2-3 hours of wallclock time on an HPC system with a few thousand cores allocated to running it.

> I should probably read the paper to find out why but does anyone know? Is the model predicting the weather in 10 minutes time and just run iteratively 2000 times for a 14 day forecast?

Basically, yes. It's run autoregressively but in 6-hour forecast intervals. The added complexity is the iterative nature of the diffusion process used to generate each of those forecast intervals.

Now that’s a two sentence horror story I haven’t heard before.
>> waste prosecuted (criminally)

As a taxpayer I hate waste. As a long-serving business owner I accept that some level of waste is a cost of doing business.

There are several problems with the concept of "waste".

firstly it's most obvious in hindsight. It's much less obvious in foresight. We spend money with an objective in mind, and in some number of times we fail to meet that objective.

Take marketing as an example. It costs money to attend an event. Will we get a return? sometimes no.

Of course the easiest way to avoid waste is simply not to take risks, not to spend anything. If we prioritize "avoid waste" we create an environment where "nothing is attempted".

Your suggestion to criminalize this with personal accountability makes things worse. What you'll get is no money spent at all, because the risk of spending -any- money could see you in jail.

Secondly, in order to criminalize waste you need to detect it, measure it, prosecute it, defend it, and so on. None of that comes cheap. So you spend money to save money?

Of course we already do this to some extent. We keep books. We have audits. If we detect waste we might examine it, consider alternatives, learn lessons to avoid it. But that's a long long way from the costs of criminal prosecution.

Thirdly you create perverse incentives for bad actors. Don't like a teacher? Accuse them of waste. You can probably find some cause. Your competitor got a contract at a local school? Be sure to loudly proclaim that as waste because you "would have done it cheaper". Sure you would do a crap job that may have failed in 2 years instead of 20, but who's to say?

Send a few teachers to jail - does that increase or decrease the likelihood of people growing up wanting to be teachers?

So yeah, I dislike waste. But preventing waste comes with a price, not just in money. Be careful in what you choose to optimize.
You're basically talking about Sapir-Whorf here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity

>The hypothesis is in dispute, with many different variations throughout its history.[2] The strong hypothesis of linguistic relativity, now referred to as linguistic determinism, is that language determines thought and that linguistic categories limit and restrict cognitive categories. This was a claim by some earlier linguists pre-World War II;[3] since then it has fallen out of acceptance by contemporary linguists.
If this (charter schools pushing students out) is true it's terrible, and I agree it would be great if the threat of legal action could eliminate it.

Sadly, when the risk of enforcement is low, many administrators will ignore the law. (This applies to government-run orgs as well.)

Brad Templeton's Robotaxi Timeline[1] (October 2024) shows a dozen milestones that Waymo has achieved over nearly 15 years from "Make a nice video" to "100,000 Rides per week."

It is absurd to call this license change stealing when the previous work is still available under the original license. This is more like someone who is giving to the community, still continuing to give, but with a slightly more strict license. Do you expect someone who is doing philantropic work, gets contributions from others, but later becomes less philantropic to change their name?

> NEVER NEVER NEVER have had the traction

There is plenty of even closed source software which has traction in many domains, let alone software released under a license which as anti-rez points out allows the users to freely run their websites on redis, modify and redistribute code etc.(with the exception of running hosting services like Amazon).

For instance, it would be amazing and a great improvement if there was a top-quality CAD program with a similar license to Redis.
How close would this be to native performance? Will it use any hardware features to reduce the emulation overhead if both the host and the guest use the same architecture?
Tesla has lots of showrooms with cars, test drives, and sales people. If you're there and want to buy a car, they direct you to a computer with an Internet connection.
You hit it on the nail, the driver didn't have to intervene but they had to be ready to take over at any time. If FSD could safely operate where you had 10 seconds to take over for level 3, why doesn't Tesla go get it certified for L3 driving. FSD isn't even approved for being a drivers aid(hands off, eyes on) in EU and China because Tesla has not demonstrated that it is safe. Even Blue cruise is approved in EU for comparison. And it isn't because Tesla isn't trying to get ADAS certification in these markets.
