That's because home ownership in the US is (was?) really the primary path for the middle class to accumulate wealth. The US home mortgage as a financial instrument is phenomenal for this. So, it was generally expected that most people

Well, to be fair, by the time 'everyone knew' it was too late to hedge.

This is exactly right. It's cheap, but not as cheap as people think. Conversations get exponentially more expensive with message length.

Good god. This is absurd. Congrats!

I feel like asking people to compile it to have fewer options would be a lot more complicated than just having them run it with the options they need, no?

I made a retirement simulator: https://thetortoise.io I was frustrated by the simplicity black-box style of other tools, so I built this as a hobby and then decided to publish it. I think The Tortoise gives users the most contro

We do this manually along with a pydantic as a middleman between Django and TS. Works pretty well and is not a major inconvenience to keep things aligned.

So, I made a raspberry pi into a smart thermostat with remote sensors all over my house which allowed me to do all kinds of targetted heating, averages, etc. Turns out that Ecobee makes one, and it's quite good. Been happily using them

It wouldn’t need to be cash per say, just cash or very liquid and low risk assets like USTs. The yield on treasuries isn’t high, but given the volumes at play it’d generate a lot of cashflow.

Not quite sure what you mean, wouldn't an A/B test be able to answer questions like these pretty easily?

Something I just realized here is that ChatGPT seems to be the first time that users are able to "teach" the model in a similar way that we teach other people. Maybe "teach" isn't the right word, as the model isn&#x

Lots of talk about the financials here, so I thought people might be interested in this financial simulator I've been working on. Here's a very simple scenario that I set up to forecast Tarn and Zach's windfall: https:/

Ah, I can totally see how that can happen. Thanks for the insight!

Does anyone have experience working within a matrix team? It seems like an interesting idea.

I'll just address your last point, which I think is actually fairly important to think about. It's easy to assume that other people have the same knowledge/skillset as you do, or to think that things that are trivial for you

Yeah, I don't personally think twitter is the best place either, but it's unambiguously easier to type a few sentances and click "post" than it is to make a webpage of any kind.

> can't be troubled to run a website Yes, that's right. They have more important things to do than worry about hosting a website. They rightly use third party applications to disseminate information.

Yes, at the largest scales there are large structures composed of galaxies with voids between them. At smaller scales, we can observer large clusters of galaxies. See, for example, Galactic Filaments [0] Really cool stuff! [0] https:/

IIRC this is correct, but the model got a bit tripped on "unobservable" vs "observable" Kind of interesting (or maybe not) that the content is good, but that kind of detail is not. Question: What is size of the universe?

It would just be a question as to whether the reinvestment would be expected to yield a high enough return. Theoretically, at least, if the dividend is being repurposed for investment and the market believes that that reinvestment will dr

I'm not sure I see what you're describing, but it's unlikely to be gravitational lensing. That requires truly massive gravitational fields and distances to have a noticable effect (eg. large clusters of galaxies). It's p

That's a fair criticism. On the other hand, I do find it useful to be able to construct an API where `PUT /object/1` will create an object, and `DELETE /object/1` will destroy it. It helps me keep things a bit more

I'd think that that depends on the density of the rail network and sparsity of the destinations.

I think you and I have different concepts of realistic, ha. How do you propose people travel from rural place A to rural place B? Public transportation? That would be extremely expensive to implement, and would operate at a massive loss to
