To prevent royalty. That is literally the reason. To prevent family dynasties.

Anecdotally, both from riding in them and walking/driving next to/around them, this feels obvious. They never get distracted. Sure, they sometimes make mistakes, but the mistakes are never "I didn't see that". Th

There are whole books on this, but the short summary is that there are infinite times when information can change that would affect the value of a company. Anything less than infinite trading is a compromise where the price is no longer re

They do, but for some reason haven't brought them to the van yet. Here's hoping!

This is so unfortunate. I was never a van guy, but my wife insisted we get a van, so I got the Honda. And honestly? I kinda love it. It drives like a car but holds eight people (or four people and a whole bunch of luggage). The way we u

I think we already laid out our argument too. A private company can do whatever they want with your data. They can sell it, exploit it, and block you from accessing it. The government can do none of those things. They can't deplatfo

You know meta keeps a shadow profile on every person who is know to every one of their customers, right? So even if you don't use it, they almost certainly have you in their system. At least when the government is working, there are c

When the government is working as intended, and have not abdicated their duties to the people, the government at least has controls over what they can and cannot do. Yes, they have a monopoly on violence, but they also in theory have lots

Yes. And then they won't want to kill the journalist anymore. Because otherwise they are going to lose all their money.

That wouldn't be enough liquidity, and also wouldn't solve the problem if the auction happened at a specific time. Day traders would all put in their bid at the last possible moment. What solves the day trading problem is doing c

It seems like the easy solution is for polymarket to just unwind the transaction and give everyone their money back, no harm no foul.

This is a very cynical take, and completely wrong. My daughter is at level Z, and some of her peers are level P or Q. It's fine, and encouraged. She just gets different work while they are still working on up-leveling. Only lazy or u

The position of the moon relative to the earth and the sun. The windows are about a month apart.

They don't really have a choice. The launch window is small and they either make it or they don't.

It's both actually. First you have to have good taste, but if you don't execute well, then no one can see it.

It's worse than that though. They are dismantling things that congress has mandated, and also just not making legally mandated payments, and no one is stopping them. Congress has abdicated their duty of checks and balances. In a fu

Wild Moose just made a blog post[0] about this. They found that putting things into foundation models wasn't cutting it, that you had to have small finely-tuned models along with deterministic processes to use AI for RCA. [0] https:&

Those sentence constructions that are "tells" were also learned from good writers though. But here, I'll let you be the judge. This was a comment I wrote 100% myself on reddit, which was both downvoted and I got multiple DM

I'm absolutely 100% for this policy. My only caution is that good writers and LLMs look very similar, because LLMs were trained on a corpus of good writers. Good writers use semicolons and em-dashes. Sometimes we used bulleted lists

It’s a real problem you’re solving but the good news is that it’s already solved! You don’t have to build it yourself. You’re looking for durable execution to solve your problem. If you’re already running Postgres, check out DBOS[0]. It tu

I'm curious what advantages this has over adding durability to an existing language, like DBOS does: https://github.com/dbos-inc/dbos-demo-apps/blob/main/python/...
