> And yet, he just did the most impressive turn on a economy on the run towards a hyperinflation ever seen.

This is said by no one except Milei. No serious economist has claimed that we were going towards a hyperinflation. I have lived through hyperinflationary periods and that was not it.

It is _trivial_ to disable inflation if you’re willing to wreck an economy.

I’m sorry I have no intention to reply to this because you’re just making stuff up. Milei has not published a single academic paper and has been credibly accused by many of plagiarism. His h-index is 0. His doctorate is from a degree mill. University metrics are easy to game and about as useful as the Top 50 restaurants in the world. While you’re at it tell me where all those famous academics in UB are, because in years of perusing computer science academia in Argentina I literally never ran into one.

This was an experiment to both 1) learn how market making works and 2) figure out what is so hard about it. My main insight from this process is that order management--making sure only the orders you want are placed, and fast, is a pretty complex software problem. The algorithm itself seems to be one of the easier things to implement.
I use marmot which gives me a multi master SQLite.

It uses a simple crdt table structure, and allows me to have many live SQLite instances in all data enters.

A Nat Jetstream server is used as a core with all SQLite DBS connected to it.

It operates off the WAL and is simple to install.

It also replicates all blobs to S3 , with the directory structure in the SQLite db.

With a Cloudflare domain , the users request is automatically sent to the nearest Db.

So it replaces cloudscapes D1 system for free . Just a hetzner 4 euro cos is enough.

Mine is holding about 200 gb of data.

Well, I worked on abuse for a few years and gave a tech talk on it at Twitter. You really do want these things to be fully automated for two reasons.

The first is that spammers automate so if you don't then they're always much faster. By the time your humans are paying attention and have made a decision it's too late, all the spam (scams, frauds, malware sites...) was already delivered. In the next spam run everything will have changed, so, decisions made by that point are useless.

The second is that your suggestion contains an unstated premise that the human evaluators would have somehow more information to work with than an automated system, or would reach a different decision. In reality they don't and wouldn't. URL reputation systems like this are triggered by spam attacks. For a certain window of time there's a high probability that any message containing a specific domain name will be flagged by users as spam, so the system short-circuits that and starts classifying all messages of unknown status containing a link to that domain as spam. This works well because spammers usually want their targets to visit a website.

So the human evaluators in this case will see a message like:

"URL domain signal.me has 67% chance of spam and rising, confirm block? Y/N"

and the humans will always press Y because obviously (a) it means that such a decision is right more often than it's wrong and (b) the domain name is normally meaningless anyway. The block will be removed a bit later once the spammers go away.

In this case, it's tempting to think that some human in a cheap labor country would somehow see this message and think "ah! signal.me! clearly a domain linked to the super cool Signal messenger, which I personally like, so I won't block it even though this might cause a lot of people to be victimized by criminals". But they wouldn't and shouldn't. The domain even looks phishy, it's quite surprising to learn that it's a real Signal linked domain.
That's neat! Now I'm wondering if this could be used to smuggle Signal links through Xitter....

> FBI provocateurs?

There were federal personnel among the rioters, but they weren't, to any evidence, either FBI or provocateurs (there were both active-duty military intelligence personnel and at least one DEI agent arrested and charged.)

"FBI provocateurs" seems to be one of the mutually contradictory stories adopted by the MAGA cult (alongside "it was a violent riot -- but by Antifa", "and it was MAGA, but it was peaceful, no different than tourism".)
Reddit CEO confirms plans to introduce paywalls for exclusive content
Fred Brooks has a whole chapter, 'The Second System Effect', on this in 'The Mythical Man Month.'

"The general tendency is to over-design the second system, using all the ideas and frills that were cautiously sidetracked on the first one."

Brooks reasons that the combined experience of doing the first project well and the second project badly leads to better designs from then on.

"y combinator" -> "many robotic" -> "irony combat"
I disagree, because it's the opposite: the purpose of a system only aligns with what we want the purpose to be if the system works perfectly. Whatever we consider the purpose to be doesn't matter for the effect the system has on the world, because if we choose to keep the system alive as-is, it will keep doing the thing that we apparently don't want it to be doing. It's the same for a program - if you choose not to fix a bug, that bug is part of the functionality. It doesn't really matter to the user whether it's supposed to work differently, unless you actually fix the bug.

I do agree with you in cases where the system is being continually refined, but I don't think the quote talks about changing systems, only about constant ones.
I gave it some cash but in the end, with my risk configuration, it wasn't 'exciting' enough because orders don't really get taken very frequently. I think You'd have to deploy much more cash than I did (> $1000) and trade at least a couple dozen securities to really make it 'fun'.

A major improvement to the software that I didn't get around to was a script to identify which securities offer the best market making opportunities (e.g., maybe by generating a custom YAML file).

25 year old truck. I suppose it's a classic now despite it smelling like dead mice.

My next truck will not be newer than 2008 and will likely have spent time in a mod shop to modernize it minus the digital cruft. It will not have any drive-by-anything, remote-anything, governors, ammonia, etc... but it will have good set of mufflers to make it quiet, dual alternators and a set of comfy seats.
After reading your comment, I was wondering "why do this study in the first place" if researchers are just pouring oil on an engine.

The last sentence basically says that it's too difficult to get new drugs approved, so instead let's try to find new benefits of already widespread drugs. I suppose it's better to pour oil on an engine than to have no oil at all.

> One of the most cost-effective and quickest strategies to develop treatment strategies is repurposing already approved drugs for new conditions. Our study provides sufficient rationale to further explore the therapeutic uses of SSRIs during infection and to reveal new and exciting immunometabolic targets during sepsis.
They could but few people seem to care about SBoM past getting InfoSec to shut up about it. So I imagine return would not be worth the effort.
Where are you getting that they’re releasing the peg? No market instrument has priced that in and every time it gets raised the Minister of Economy moves the bar for when that will happen. They need a capital injection from the IMF that they will never get because Caputo asked for $45 billion loan for the IMF for the same purpose two presidencies ago and it changed nothing.

You can set defaults for all books. Simply long press on the option you want to be a global default. That said, it can still be fiddly since different books respond in different ways. Most of that seems to be due to differences in how publishers handle formatting, but I'm fairly certain that some of it is due to how the renderer handles things.

So, your comment here is moving the goalpost:

> What makes you so sure that IP blocking countries will have any effect, when anyone can buy a no-log VPN for $5/month?

If it's malicious activity behind VPNs in foreign countries, then see previous comment about blocking foreign countries. Block foreign countries at the interconnect until they enact and enforce laws which address the malicious activity.

If it's malicious activity behind VPNs in your own country then you need only convince your law enforcement to enforce existing computer crime laws. Renting a server for $5/mo requires payment and payment provides a name & address to prosecute. All you need is to demonstrate that the malicious activity originated from the rented IP address and during the rental period.

> Missing out on gains in every macroeconomic environment, QE, ZIRP, NIRP, rate hikes, deflation

People who had 10% of their wealth in gold before 1929 only lost at most 30% of their wealth, something insane like that (losing 30% when nearly everybody loses all their savings is quite a feat).

I don't know if goldbugs and gold permabulls are literally only stockpiling gold coins and gold bars.

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if most gold permabulls only had 10% of their wealth in gold.

And if anything I've noticed when talking to people that most who like gold actually consider the USD and EUR to be toilet paper: it's not so much that they're goldbugs, but they're "anything that's not toilet paper bugs".

So from what I've seen those who bought gold overlap a lot with those who bought digital gold (aka Bitcoin).

I'm not sure who missed on gains here.
Interesting. Different types of failures require different strategies to get the most value from them. Example: "good" failures help steer the team to future successes.

Rescue treatments are symptomatic. Which makes a lot of sense, if you consider what (medically) constitutes "sepsis."

Any ED resident on their first week on the job should know how to diagnose sepsis: Temp >38°C (100.4°F) or <36°C (96.8°F), Heart rate >90, Respiratory rate >20 or PaCO₂ <32 mm Hg, WBC >12,000/mm³, <4,000/mm³, or >10% bands, Infection (suspected or present).

Double down on the blood work, take liquor, empirically give antibiotics (less and less useful, given resistances), drop temperature (paracetamol), add fluids (drops heart rate, ups blood pressure), wait for labs.

It's not hard, and I am so very sorry someone with sepsis signs was sent home. Sepsis is also a fast bastard. Meaning, from pathogen entering the blood stream to organ damage and conclusively death can be less than half an hour. That's the ones we can't catch. The guy with the ulcer, the person who injects things, the girl who didn't see a dentist about her developing abscess, the man who stopped his HIV meds... that's the ones I didn't in the past three weeks. I got them too late, or didn't see them until the ambulance unloaded a dead person.

Sepsis is a bitch. A total and utter bad player, something we drill into every resident from day one. Sometimes Mrs. Goodforall comes in with a light chest tightness and leaves on a hearse, sometimes Mr. Bluebird presents with nausea and crashes into a full on septic shock minutes later. Any one of those I can prevent, I will. I am, however, not God. Just a ED jockey with an infectious disease background. I'm probably the best hope my patients have, which isn't much, but it's something.

Not even half. Only about 1/3 of eligible voters voted for Trump. And many of them are feeling a little dismayed or betrayed at current behaviors (presumably because they are rubes and got scammed).

A little over 1/3 didn't vote at all.

A motived pushed back from virtually any part of the electorate -- they have the 2nd Amendment for a reason guys -- or a small push from established military officers could easily topple Trump.

Arguably the real risk is social media, since they're all in bed together now, and have a stated aim of owning the system. If you're gonna topple trump, you'd better have a go at the zuck, theil, and larry ellison, etc

And Singapore executes ~3.5 times more of it's population than the US. Singapore is a heavily policed state. They still cane people there.

There is a _huge_ difference between how crime is handled in the US and how it is handled in Singapore.

> If you have the money to imprison the homeless you could use that very same money to just build more affordable housing and that would give you more in terms of results per dollar spent.

I'm not talking about the homeless. The people I lived next to had homes (that were unfortunately adjacent to mine). They would constantly commit crime and face 0 repercussions for it. I knew of someone in the building that was on their 5th DUI somehow. They were still driving, still causing problems nearly every week.
I’m sorry but opinion polls I this country are worth the paper they’re written on. Menem’s political program wrecked the Argentinian economy the same way this program is doing and the man got reelected with some of the highest increases in poverty during that period.

The important thing is that outsiders are falsely believing that the problem with this country is high inflation instead of low economic productivity. The country has dealt with high inflation for a century and during that time has the highest standard of living of Latin America and a solid middle class.

What Milei is doing is literally regressing in the public infrastructure needed to develop industry while keeping structural costs artificially high. Mark my words: very little will have been accomplished inflation wise but industrial activity will drop permanently as factories that cannot handle high costs leave.

Believe in Something
Support for USB controllers in DOS and Win3.1 is, of course, basically nonexistent. However, with the correct BIOS settings, a USB storage volume can be treated as a conventional hard drive (naturally requiring a traditional, non-GPT partition table, and will only mount sub-2GB FAT16 partitions).

I've got a bootalble thumbdrive, in fact, set up with Syslinux, and an option to boot a DOS 6.22 drive image (with Win3.1 installed) via memdisk. It works, but on modern hardware, can typically only use standard VGA or VESA video modes, and modern HDA audio devices are usually not AC97 or SB compatible, so usually no audio but PC speaker.
