This is indeed impressive, I personally haven't accomplished anywhere near as much in the same timeframe. This is great PR here, and this is what would have been accomplished with a relatively meager spend on A PUBLIC RELATIONS DEPARTM

That screen saver ate some serious CPU time! My first job was writing software designed to be run by primitive RF handheld devices via a telnet session to a Windows NT Server (running MSSQL). It was a light weight enough application, writte

For all the CNC machining videos I watch (its a thing - check it out), If a person made a series of chill videos explaining the finer points of a well curated washer collection I'd watch it.

In all the MS Recall drama, I've yet to hear or read one single person utter something to the effect of "Wow - great!!! - I've been waiting for something like this for years! This will solve at least one of the major issues I

The bill wont strictly "mandate buying a Google Kids Watch" but it will stipulate a ban on smart phones (iPhones being the dominant device) in schools. The Google Kiddie Crack watch is $200, the Apple Watch can't compete at t

So just yesterday I'm reading here about the Google "Kids Watch" and how its benefit it that kids "don't need a phone anymore". Now I see this and I can't help but think some Google lobbyist authored a bil

If edge is the browser you use for downloading Chrome, maybe Windows is the OS you use to get and install Linux? I feel sorry for people who's employers mandate Windows or are dependent on some Windows only critical software. I know it

Some days I think the Microsoft personal computing team is just a division of the Apple marketing department where their main charge is to help sell more Macs. About 1x/year I get frustrated with the depth of my lock-in to the Apple Ec

That hypothetical person or organization already has an advisor in charge of their money at the smaller end or an entire private RIA on the Family Office side of things. This approach is a fools errand.

Seems like the money here would be building a shiny, public facing version of the tool behind a robust paywall and build a relationship with a few Broker Dealer firms who can make this product available to the Financial Advisors in their ne

Absolutely correct - and more over - when you do sit someone down (in my case, someone with a "superior education" in finance compared to my CS degree) and explain things to them, they simply don't understand it at all and as

Speaking for myself and likely others with similar motivations, yes we can "figure it out" and publish something to show our work and expand the field of endeavor with our findings - OR - we can figure something profitable out on

In terms of hardware issues, Ive had a single EC2 instance running application servers and MySQL (YUP - ran a decently traffic intensive site like this). All software was run on a virtual instance. I configured all the necessary things to r

Thanks for the metric - I wouldn't have naively assumed that kind of through put was possible on such a setup.

In my experience and at this point in my career ark I can say that "coding" itself hasn't been the hardest part of the job in ... 20 years? Coding was never difficult. Understanding the rats nest of code that comprises a prod

Im aware of several AI assistance tools and using LLMs to generate (hopefully) runnable code but has anyone used the available tools to significant impact? I mean can I delegate a sprint ticket to an AI yet? I can see us getting there. A su

Regulations, deposits, compliance, contracts, fees etc. The pain of making any financial arrangement at such a scale is bound to be non-trivial.

If we're going to build any of these we're going to really need to do some testing too. That means we need a suitably reliable generator of numbers known to be positive or negative.

Oh yeah, Imma do the most Hacker News I can think of and re-impl both packages in Rust. Better yet I might fire up PyTorch and develop some ML solution to recognize even/oddness. There really are more choices for this than I though at
