He seems to have mastered the art of being unethical in all the right ways SV investors and incubators like. Many embrace his style of business, others hold their nose, not enough reject.

Carter, Reagan, and some hostages, for example.

Not familiar with that. Could you elaborate?

It seems to imply he’s not the only one who’s done something like that. In that case, I totally agree, political figures are masters of political posturing and taking credit

And that goes for any party and probably every country in the world

Look up Iran hostage situation and how unelected presidential candidate undermined an active president.

Can’t you say this about virtually every single closed source binary only release software? Steam, 1Password, etc? Why is Grayjay special here. Just curious.

Correct. I do not use or recommend proprietary tools for any system a user needs to be able to trust. There are always alternatives.

Uhh, no cars are emitting lead anymore? AV gas, maybe, if the field is near an airport that is a potential risk.

You can buy leaded fuel for racing. In theory lead contamination could be an issue near a speedway.

I guess he meant general soot from burned fuel, as much if not more toxic than lead itself.

I would have figured algorithmic trading bots got all the wins there before a human could.

Relatively defined events yes, i.e probably wouldn't try to click through FOMC (is number better/worse than FedWatch) but take something like BTC ETF getting approval:

- you aren't sure where the announcement will come from first, i.e will it leak via journalist

- there will be plenty of false announcements

- the official SEC twitter account got hacked and posted it was approved (Phone number taken over, no 2FA enabled lolol)

- there will be volatility around fake announcements as others are running bots

- LLMs interpretation of "BTC ETF approved" vs "With BTC ETF approval" can cause you to start eating lot of transaction costs

You can still (presently...) come out on top as a bag of meat. Is it worth the hours and cortisol vs half decent tech job? going to say entirely dependent on the scorecard afterwards and if you value doing something with actual purpose.

The fastest way to see news for a binary event is the just watch the stock price of the underlying.

For something like GDP numbers, the price moves within milliseconds of the print, before your browser can even refresh and minutes before the numbers even show up on twitter.

I am going to take advantage of this arbitrage opportunity to start a newspaper :)

Humans can be much smarter than any algo trading bots. The algorithms for trading are really primitive price action stuff - not fundamental information about the business, products, customers...

Wouldn't an LLM be able to do that kind of analysis?

A LLM all by itself? No, I really don't think so. From my personal trading history - I knew to invest into AMD when it was at $5 because I tried their products and am intimately familiar with computers. LLM won't be able to do that for a long time. But - it helps me.

Cloud providers offer productized versions of Redis, so their interest in Valkey should be obvious :)

Yep. It is still a bit ironic that the community rallied behind Big Tech instead of a small startup though. Just saying.

The community rallied around a community fork with an open source licence instead of a VC funded startup with a penchant for changing licences.

Microsoft appears to be the only major player that isn't going with Valkey and established some sort of licensing deal with Redis [0].

Microsoft also last year released their own Redis-client-compatible key-value store, Garnet: https://github.com/microsoft/garnet

The community rallied behind the project that ensures the software they care about remains free and open and available to all without the risk of being blind-sided.

Around competitive prices and terms rather than a monopoly.

That is the thing many young people don’t see until they have a kid and realize how much more difficult urban living is with kids unless you have a lot of money. Cities eat your time when you have kids.

Seems like you would spend an inordinate amount of time chaperoning kids around. Unless of course you can afford a driver.

Similar story here! They are great platforms to create and explore with. Built up CircleMUD 1995-1999 here.

The idea is that it is an incremental process. By default you should be able to make minimal changes to your code and it should mostly just work. Over time you can use features that more tightly couple you to Carbon, such as memory safety. Google's motivation is supporting its massive C++ codebase while providing a path for memory safety and other features. If your use case does not closely mirror that of Google's, namely, that you have 10+ year old code you intend, and have, to maintain, Carbon probably doesn't make sense for you and that is generally made pretty clear for anyone interested in the language.

She was placed in a very difficult situation where she had to try and have her own policies and candidacy but also had to defend Biden.

There was also the difficulty for her campaign that she was not voted for in a primary, just picked.
