Shouldn't this problem self-regulate, though? Ultimately, investors mainly care about the returns and if you can get better returns elsewhere due to these fees, they will switch. If they can charge large amount of fees and still stay c

You are right about Social Security. It only holds Treasuries. But, there are many other pension funds like teachers pension, government workers pensions, etc that manage working class money.

Am I getting this right? - LSD SQL is a way to query a webpage to extract data...sort of like BeautifulSoup - You can "give LSD to Claude" using Claude's model context protocol - Now Claude can use LSD to extract more

YouTube ads generated almost $9B last quarter. I think that should be a viable business on its own?

I've decided that browser extensions are too much of a security/privacy risk. I just stick with 1password extension and an ad blocker extension that uses Safari's Content Blocker API only. And then from time to time I have a

What can go up so quickly can also come down quickly. It's impressive that Nvidia has been delivering explosive growth in their earnings to match their valuation, but it is valid to be concerned whether the world can keep investing in

The new Variant type exists independently of JSON support, so it seems good that they handle it properly.

Thinking about abuse potential, is there such a thing as irreversible finger-printing of media generated like this? So that even bad actors couldn't hide the fact that it was generated by AI.

Elm debugger did something like this, but it's much more limited in scope.

Did not know that. It's an interesting way to keep ownership of the project! What other projects do this?

Alexa is not on a phone or PC. It could only be so useful being available only at home.

With Java, they are executing it pretty well these days. Old code pretty much works out of the box, so you get the improvements for free. Some language-level improvements are significant enough to get people excited (e.g. virtual threads).

Good point, but it is interesting that the computations to render visual worlds in high fidelity is the same computation to "ingest" the data to create a model. Reminds me of how a mic is a speaker and speaker is a mic.

In economics, everything affects everything else, so you are trying to solve for the equilibrium. For example, high unemployment (not the only immediate effect) in turn will reduce consumption either directly due to loss of income or antici

Incidentally, I was in the top 10% in my last half-marathon. My next goal is to be in the top 5% (~1h30m). I expect this to take decent amount of effort and more structured training.

There is some description and link on the page. Personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income (DPI), frequently referred to as "the personal saving rate," is calculated as the ratio of personal saving to DPI.

I used to choose other distros for more updated dependencies, but now I appreciate the stability at OS level a lot more. Containers also solves the problem for running services.

One could argue that fragmentation is a sign of more active development and a cause for excitement. Of course, it comes with less stability/maturity, but it means that everyone is empowered to do their own thing. Huge cultural differen

How about things like IDE and related development tools? Same level of support on Linux?
