With $1 Trillion or so in assets between VTI and VTSAX, that 0.1% is a guaranteed purchase order of $1 Billion in SpaceX stock purchases. A sizable minority of the current float. This is important because Anthropic and OpenAI (and likely fu

And the Bogleheads who bought into VTI and Vanguard Total Admiral Funds?

SPY (top S&P500 fund) has $700B assets under management. VTI (Vanguard Total ETF) is $600B + VTSAX (Vanguard Total Index Admiral) is $489B. QQQ is another $480B AUM. So we're easily talking about $Trillion++ for funds that are desc

VTI and Nasdaq played along. VTI arguably because they must play along, being a "total market fund". Nasdaq changed their rules and then force bought 3x more than usual. These are NOT small funds. Rather significant parts of the U

Have you tried looking for a French Beginner Discord voice chat? Or a similar local club for an in person meeting in your area? Tutors are not necessary. But this is a humanity / language arts problem. Communication with humans is lite

German learner here. Most of the German discord group is mostly annoyed at how awful LLM explanations and hallucinations are. Communication and teaching is something that teachers and tutors are far better at than LLMs. In fact, most seem t

We started this by assassinating IRGC leaders (and also other leaders who could have served as moderates or counter-balances to them). All of this is basically the full of shitty planning. Further continuation of the war will likely only fr

I mean, the stock market is idiotic if that's what you mean and I agree. But I will perpetually trust and hope in the peace process. Not much to do but offer my support for the end of this war. No matter how unlikely it is. -------- No

So we are pretending that we care about Iranian civilians today? The Iranian civilians would never back a US / Israeli backed coup of their government. They distrust us because of the Shah / 1960s.

I know Iran likely has a fractured government, but more assassinations vs various Iranian leadership won't exactly solve that issue. (Indeed, it's incredibly stupid that we assassinated so many leaders to the point that the peace

A bad peace will be better than this war. I know people want to stick this into some kind of winners vs losers discussion but I for one would be happy if it reliably ended. It's very difficult for me to think of such a terrible peace a

Switchers in the 80s were only 80% efficient at best. The chips just weren't fast enough for much better. Switching from maybe 70% efficient linear to 80% efficient switcher means only a 30% reduction to copper or transformers. -------

Well yeah, that's what the blogpost is talking about. We are entering the age of forced AI usage or quit the field entirely.

My boss came up to me and said a coworker using LLM tools has shipped more customer solutions in a week than basically what I've done in 3 months. The bosses are out to force people like you to use AI. And have been for months. Maybe n

I can now elaborate on my comment above a bit more... Ingo Wegener's "Branching Programs and Binary Decision Diagrams" copyright year 2000, is considered the introductory work on all BDD related matters. On the front cover ar

What? Reduced Ordered BDDs are likely not as succinct as an arbitrary BDD. The famous Hidden Weight Bit problem can be more succinctly expressed in arbitrary BDDs (changing the order and revisiting nodes), but are provably EXPSPACE in ROBDD

Have you heard of the "Radeon Pro SSG" ?? It must have failed because I never heard of an update to this GPU. But AMD definitely made a GPU with 4x NVMe SSDs attached to the GPU.

Remember how 16GBs used to be an enterprise level database mainframe? Well, GPUs also have stupid amounts of compute on them. I have to imagine that there is some kind of database format that's useful with GPU compute attached. Since t

Why would that pop the bubble? Robber Barrons existed from like 1860 through 1915 and extracted the wealth of many people, including Native American tribe lands. Like this shit can keep going until we decide enough is enough and actually ch

It's a fun rabbit hole indeed. All in all, it IMO just sets up the importance of the Council of Nicaea as well as the development of the Nicene creed.

Then he can fire the customer. By simply closing the issue.

Yes. That's called firing the customer in my line of work. This doesn't seem egregious enough to fire the customer.

Well in my professional setting, I deal with non-paying customers all the time. They're still customers and I'm still expected to listen to them. It was better when a dedicated PM was shielding me from this crap but here we are. D

You've never had a customer in your professional setting who didn't pay money for goods and/or services? Yet it was very important for your boss (and therefore you, as a programmer) to service their every whim? Customers are
