These are puts, you buy them, they have a fixed expiration date at which point they will be worthless if the price is above the strike price. Fixed down side, upside is $100 per contract per dollar the stock is below the strike at expiry. Y

I’m not asking if it makes sense, I’m simply pointing out that by that measure this is much less extreme than 2000. As I stated, I think we’re in a bubble, so valuations won’t make much sense. If you have a better measure, share it. I trust

More money is lost by bears fighting a bull market, than in actual bear market crashes. I’ve made that mistake already. I’m nervous about the economic data and the sky high valuations, but I’ll invest with the trend until the trend changes.

Nvidia has a trailing PE of 50. Cisco was 200 At the height of the dotcom bubble. Nowhere near that level. There’s real demand and real revenue this time. It won’t grow as fast as investors expect, which makes it a bubble if I’m right about

If we’re both willing to pay that in a free market economy, then we both leave the deal happy. Things are worth what people are willing to pay for them. And that can change over time. Sentiment matters more than fundamental value in the sho

The same way the stock market invents a trillion dollars of fake wealth on a strong up day? That's capital markets working as intended. It's not necessarily doomed to end in a fiery crash, although corrections along the way are a

The founders came from ScyllaDb, I wouldn't be so quick to count them out. The repo has a lot of contributors and traction. As long as the company survives, I think it has a bright future.

Could also be an outcome. It is MIT open-source though.

It's a ground up rewrite. It's not an official rewrite, if that's what you mean. Words are hard.

This is ignoring the elephant in the room: SQLite is being rewritten in Rust and it's going quite well. https://github.com/tursodatabase/turso It has async I/O support on Linux with io_uring, vector support,

Until the politicians want to come after you for posts you make on HN, or any other infraction they decide is now an issue. History is littered with the literal bones of people who thought they had nothing to fear from the state. The state

It’s going to be pretty easy to embed instructions to Claude in a malicious website telling it to submit sensitive things (and not report that is doing it.) Then all you have to do is get Claude to visit it. I’m sure people will find hundre

If one conversation goes in a bad direction, it's often best to just start over. The bad context often poisons the existing session.

I think we might also be limited by energy.

In the case they gain access to my account, I agree with how you presented it. If someone emptied my account with info about me they could find in data breaches, that shouldn’t be on me. If they gave a loan or a credit card to someone prete

That's not true at all. The historic genocides I listed were apparent while in progress. The fact that after two years no genocide is apparent should make it obvious that no genocide is in progress. That doesn't rule out one happe

That was hilarious, thanks for sharing!

All these endless data breaches could be reduced if we fixed the incentives, but that's difficult. We could never stop it, because humans make mistakes, and big groups of humans make lots of mistakes. That doesn't mean we shouldn&

You mean like your opinion? Do you understand fog of war? Both sides say things that are false or exaggerated, and it's difficult to discern the truth because information is censored and journalists are restricted in their movement and

It might actually help with financing the things. I guess it is almost carbon neutral. Zero efficient though.

It has to be the most ineptly executed genocide in history - or it’s not a genocide. There are really only those two options.

I actually agree with this, which is why I don’t think Israel will let starvation happen in Gaza. They’ll do what they have to do, because the can’t afford to have their few remaining allies turn on them. Time will tell. But they’re not tha

Are you telling me with a straight face that it’s a genocide because it doesn’t look like a genocide to trick people into believing it’s not a genocide?

I’m wondering exactly the same thing. How do people fall for the propaganda of Hamas, but here we are…

We both know people would burn graphite pellets. That’s what we do with wood pellets today.

Huh, video proof that they do: https://nypost.com/2024/10/10/world-news/hamas-steals-humani... Again how widespread that was is lost to the fog of war. I don't trust what anyone is saying about the
