Interesting. That's been one of my main issues with my normal 8 Pro. Sometimes I'm tempted to go caseless but the damn thing is so slick.

The issue with repairability is always the conflict between water resistance, thickness and feel vs the compromises to that needed to make removable batteries or back cases work. There are ways around it but the vast majority of the market

Yeah I don't have the time or the patience to try to pick and think about long term choices beyond some sector or tailored mutual funds/ETFs. Doesn't help my job comes with pretty heavy trade restrictions so I have to get pre

On the other hand if you remove the gains from AI related companies the bull market basically disappears. [0] It makes up a small part of the market over all but if the market had been trading sideways for 3+ months people would be feeling

They still hold a fairly large amount of money in index funds "about 19.2 percent for public pension plans and 11.2 percent for corporate plans" [0 (2015)] That's a significant sum of money that will be forced into purchasing

It was much safer before the indexes decided to throw off all the safety hurdles designed to make sure stocks were relatively healthy and the price was reasonably well settled before they were included. And the core idea that a random inves

The idea that companies can corner entire markets has been proven false time and time again. Every "tech" unicorn has their valuation propped up by the idea they'll be the "primary gate holder" to some billion or tr

In my limited experience with using agents to create tests it tends to code the tests to the existing code instead of ensuring the correctness from a spec. Great for regression testing but still limited in effectiveness for catching existin

I've been thinking that for years about various sources and the bubble stubbornly refuses to pop on a convenient timeline so I'm falling back on the adage "time in the market beats trying to time the market". Index funds

It's not like equities markets are unregulated, be serious.

IMO that's down to how you personally feel about the two sides of the process. For me the initial writing is super tedious and I've never gotten great at the voice of technical documentation but checking it for errors and correcti

It's the thing people don't get when they see odd studies being funded and try to judge if they're worthy of being funded. Either it's just they don't understand where the study fits into a larger problem or simply

...Yes. I didn't say fire and forget but it can handle a lot of rote recitation of library flags and functions perfectly well. The kind of stuff that's autogenerated with javadocs, inputs, outputs and effects that are all in the c

There's two major types of documentation "why is this like this" documentation and then there's "here's the features of this library/tool" documentation. LLM stuff is fine for the latter as long as yo

At least that nominally creates some value at the end of the day. Documentation is the thing everyone wants but no one has time/desire to create. My most recent token heavy task was having an agent write unit tests for coverage on a li

Labor is not the only cost in that equation though, there's business regulations, the cost of the operators/repair that troubleshoot and repair the bots when they break, etc. a lot of which could be cheaper still than the price of

This pattern of acquiring a company via debt financed on the value of the company is a leveraged buyout, is far from new and it's definitely quite corrosive to the finances of the new company. The pattern that plays out time and time a

Amazon's return policy is also getting pretty bad. There's a lot more third party sellers on the platform and occasionally users sent incorrect items get their refund refused because "item not returned" which is extremel

It acts like it is now but it used to act like it was one team and was an alternative assistant trigger, or you could even type to the assistant if you couldn't/didn't want to speak. Now that's basically only available v

Plus the random decision to split Google Assistant functions off from the bottom search bar. I still randomly try to tap that bar with it's mic button to ask the assistant to do something only to have it try to do a Google search. That

Yeah my main point was it's a complete pain in the ass to deal with if you want to do it properly in a way that actually prevents fraud on either side. eBay has kind of just erred one side or the other for most of it's existence a

The $20B letter from TB is the leveraged part of the buy out and the math still doesn't add up even if you for some reason allow GME to dispose of all their cash in the deal without taking a hit to their stock price.

by rtkwe 5mo ago
The biggest headache has always been fraud, eBay gets if from both sides and it's a pretty intractable problem to solve as the middle man.

He gets money every $10B of market cap anyways so even if it never grows this acquisition makes RC money.

TD didn't commit to $20B their letter only says they're "highly confident" they could raise that much. Very important distinction between the two.

by rtkwe 5mo ago
The math doesn't actually math. Even if you're not discounting the cash on hand from GME's value all of GME's market value, plus their cash on hand, plus the "highly confident" $20B still doesn't add up to
