Would be interested in strategic value add versus cedardb (although cedar is closed source in a way that at the moment I think may kill it)

The noun to verb ratio is too high. This is a normative statement but it's one I'm willing to make that you apparently can't detect.

It's a product of an era of OOP when the idea of a program fitting in a developers head was a dangerous reactionary idea. They have in fairness fixed a lot of the worst aspects of this by adding basically a second language to it but e.

C# is a pretty bad language when you take away the stack it sits atop of. I do mostly like the async but developers put up with a lot of shit to e.g. use the msft networking stack and containers

It doesn't feel nice to say but hearing from people I know who work in politics just how much the prospect of having to disclose something changes behaviour (in what people say but also where they say it) I'd be in favour of some

Almost definitely Id think - I think we have to treat it something like power tools / chairs and a gym. AI makes me massively more productive as a quant, and more creative in the sense that it can often find calculations I don't k

Yes but there is Hans, 25, of Wiesbaden who is the telephone-pole-material guy who catalogues these things.

Honestly I don't find most adjustments that complicated as long as you think about it economically rather than pulling a formula out thin air e.g. think about how you arbitrage it if it wasn't adjusted.

I read somewhere that Apple even uses Linux kernels to bring up new hardware but I don't know if it's actually/still true.

"Trading and exchanges" is the classic one everyone reads for listed markets, I should add.

Equities and (listed) commodities are relatively easy to get a handle on but it genuinely takes months / years even at the frontline to understand how fixed income and FX works because its still almost entirely an OTC market. There is

People turning up in hedge funds (i.e. much smaller) and trying to rewrite the bit of a bank they used to work in's equivalent of this article is so annoying.

Lamport phrases this as "Thinking doesn't guarantee we will be right; not thinking guarantees we will be wrong" - specifications are for reasoning about systems in the deepest sense

AISI is basically the crown jewel of the British government at this point in that its actually pretty good.

So I think one of the main failure modes of vibe coding is that unless you have a very aggressive approach the onus is pretty much solely on the developer for the code to be good. The volume of code, addiction to said volume of code, and fa

I increasingly agree with the spirit of this. I'm not even convinced that they'll never be able to "program" I just find that these tools are to midwits what flame is to a moth and destroy the systems-thinking that drive

One canary I have for Linux vs Windows is whether Bloomberg ever support Linux natively on the terminal. You can actually use the API from inside WSL quite easily already.

If it was the most expensive it wouldn't transact at that price, the price clears roughly to minimise excess demand i.e. gas is often the energy you can actually at a given time.

So what if it's a cold night with no wind? I'm not saying renewables aren't cheap, I'm saying that you can't fully construct a grid on them and that this has not been communicated. Our energy is expensive and volati

> logic and experience This is patronising drivel. We burn gas when there is no wind & sun. We do this because there no alternative other than the lights going out. You are not seeing the whole.

We have already done that. Do you know why gas often sets the price?

Can't imagine that slop is going to save them. Gitlab is a totally directionless, beyond self-hosting which I think is commendable, shoddily implemented product. I don't hate it, in that it is at least predictable, but the lack of
