I take quiet satisfaction imagining that I say really smart stuff I read elsewhere, get dismissed by morons, and then the morons 3 years later read the exact same idea from a reputable source and go "hold on a second, that's what

Suppose to have an idiotic model like for example "investing is flipping a coin". Then you calculate how many coin flips waiting a certain amount of time corresponds to. Then you conclude, see, these N people are the lucky coin fl

There's nothing new in what you described. Saying "they arb and use lots of data" contains exactly as much information as saying "they buy low and sell high". The implementation details are everything .

More or less OT. I keep hearing about both Zig and D as interesting C-like low level languages with better satefies/ergonomics. I wonder if someone who's familiar with both would like to discuss the main differences...?

Ok fine. My strong reaction was really due to the use of the word "simulator". But if you say model - yeah, central banks do that. I'm not really familiar how public their models are. I would bet you that they intentionally d

What's the use case here? For a quick look up you're not going to write that monster command. And for a more ongoing repeated use, you're not going to download and uncompress the file every time you want to query it... I get

And NATO are at fault. They forced him to invade a country and bomb its cities. Like, he had literally no choice. The Russians are the real victims here.

I'm not saying these are good or bad. But I note that every time a company becomes "hot", people start mindlessly copying its quirks, as if those are the things that make the company. They might be, or they might not. Reminds

What "barrier" are you talking about? Surely in a developing country having a human code instead of using a no-code tool, is more likely than in a developed country, as humans are more expensive the in latter??

If you're in that situation, buying USD on the black market is still better than Bitcoin. Argentina has been living like this for decades, so don't tell me this is a crazy notion. And unlike Venezuela, Argentina isn't a faile

I don't think I've ever updated the julia extension. Is that something that has to be done manually? I'm on v1.51.2 Update: I just saw that the last release is from 2023-08-31, so I guess it's been updating automatically
