I remember reading on here that the breakup fee is only applicable in very narrow cases, basically only if the US govt blocks the deal. If it's not applicable then he's on the hook for the whole ~40billy. Does he still come out ah

Central bank interest rates are negative but consumer savings accounts are not negative. A quick google search shows that savings accounts are offering either zero or nominally positive rates (0.02%). I agree that interest rates are super l

Putting money under the mattress is an awful outcome. If people want to save then they should put their money in to a _bank account_ where they can earn interest and their money can be put to use productively. Not only does this mean they’l

Sure, the monetary system is flawed (in the sense that all systems are flawed and the current one seems to be doing particularly poorly _at the moment_) but we also had a trustless central banking system before called the Gold Standard and

I feel like react-rails ( https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails ) is basically perfect for this. You just make the photo upload its own react component and render it as normal from your rails view. You basically encapsu

T notes don't store value wrt inflation, which is what precious metals are supposed to hedge against. Earlier chat about metals holding value when equities/bonds are selling off is misleading, imo.

They didn't "learn", SpiceDAO was just a straight up scam. They raised like $8m dollars, spent $3m on a book, (100x expected auction value) and then decided to pay themselves $30k a month from the remaining proceeds and presu

My favorite part of this story is that they DAO has actually raised ~$8m, spent $3m on the book (10x the expected auction price), then the "core team" has started paying themselves ~$30k a month[0]. Also, how is this "decentr

It's a reference to Bored Ape Yacht Club a popular - at least with Crypto people - series of NFTs. If you use Twitter and follow any Crypto people/VCs you might have seen them as profile pictures. One of these sold for $200k. It&#

How do you manage cuda versions of pytorch? At the moment I'm using poethepoet to install them separately but it feels very suboptimal.

Overly pedantic but I think i^i is actually not well-defined (and in general exponentiation of complex numbers is not well defined) since e^(2 * pi * i) = 1 so for instance we would have i = e^(0.5 * pi * i) = e^(2.5 * pi * i) and then i^i

I'd be interested in hearing a designer's view on this sort of tool? It seems really appealing for me as a developer (and I've thought about building something like this in the past) but I wonder where it fits in the designer

The restrictions are: no reference types, manually manage your memory. My previous job was basically writing loads of burst code and it was so ergonomic and fun to write, and (as the GP says) you basically get 200x speed up for free.
