The Boer's during the Boer war were able to using a sniping attack against the British because they had smokeless gunpowder, so I would imagine flashless is also an advantage. I remember seeing artillery and tanks having something on

The ones I remember had a red tinted window that would reveal the hidden word. If you tried to photocopy it using a black and white photocopier the words wouldn't be visible anymore. Now in hindsight, I guess you could have photocopi

The strategy worked, Netscape is no more. Eventually Google did the same to Microsoft though. I wonder if any lessons can be taken from the browser wars to how things will play out with AI models.

I recently saw that my local supermarket had replaced most of the paper price tags with eink displays. I guess they can be updated dynamically from head office. Seems like you can buy them now on ebay for not much per unit. https:/

My son watches this YouTuber, it's Eystreem. My guess is that he uses the Bible as a prop to add drama to his videos. Another video he was marketing Prime energy drinks. Maybe I should download a whole bunch of 80's TV shows lin

I worked with some folks like that. They emphasized always do same day sale, don't sit on the stock after exercising. They had massive tax bills, because they exercised when the stock was flying high, but didn't have enough cash

One benefit I've seen is that commission free trades wouldn't be possible without payment for order flow. I remember the old days when it cost a lot to do a trade. Also the stock price tick increments used to be higher. That&#x

I watched an Andrej Karpathy video recently. He said that hallucination was because in the training data there were no examples where the answer is, "I don't know". Maybe I'm misinterpreting what he was saying though.

It's not really high frequency trading in the sense of day trading, it's a bit of a misnomer. I would say it's actually low latency trading, the number of trades isn't huge. It ensures that linkages in the market opera
