Oh man, that's an old school name.

I miss cranky geeks, to the point where I've gone back to listen to older episodes.

It's nicely symmetrical, because conversely I prefer my LLM-generated code to have no dependencies.

How do you get your code to the point where it has no dependencies? How do you do any sort of database writing without a library, or web access without sockets from an os library?

What sort of code has no dependencies? I'm now very curious as I can't see how you can do anything without altest including the std lib from your OS to do any file i/o.

Most of this debt will be forgiven or given a significant haircut.

The legal term is odious debt and it has a long history of debt taken out by dictators being forgiven once the dictator has been removed.

The IMF will normally make a ruling on this as to if the debt is odious or not but given how a few big hedge funds that normally go after discounted debt have recently dumped a chuck of Venezuela's debt the writing is on the wall as they say.

I'm not a government credit expert but what analysts are saying to expect 60-75% of the debt to be restructured, not forgiven, in terms of a 50% hair cut.

The debts owed to oil companies secured by oil infrastructure is less likely to be written off as Venezuela will need foreign help to rebuild their oil infrastructure form these same companies, giving them a fair bit of leverage here:)

rats, so this isn't really a viable solution.

How does this work without a phone? I do 99% of my computer work, like now, not on a phone.

Do regular desktop and laptop computers have the same secure enclave feature?

But then he made a tweet that basically just says "I suggested this, some people like it, some hate it". That's super against the rules, because it attracts people to the proposal who otherwise wouldn't have seen it.

How would this in any way be against the rules? Wouldn'tan open and democratic process like wikipedia want as many eyes as possible on a vote or rule change?

That sounds completely backwards from the open and free spirit of wikipedia. If even wikipedia has gone full mob rule then hwo do any projects stay open and free to everyone?

You could be right about the Korean plants. I only relied on google to give me the top 5 nuclear plants active in the world. The Korean plants you mention were not on the list.

The lidar shows me:

- if a car is behind me

- how many cars( I think up to 8) are behind me

- what speed they are coming up on me by way of animation

To answer your question about what to do, mostly yes, yield the road if I'm on a country road and get over to the shoulder if there is a good paved one.

It's a valid question if you've never ridden on a country road with cars. You want all the notification you can get if someone is coming up behind you so you can plan what to do

I mean, Ontario runs the Bruce nuclear plant which is the second largest in the world in terms of the power it generates at 6,610 MW, Japan gets the top nod with a plant that generates 7,965 MW.

I use a Garmin edge bike computer and a Garmin tail light with lidar that shows cars as they come up from behind on you on the computer screen and give audio alert as well.

That works well enough for most road riding. I wonder if having a reverse view mapped onto my glasses would be an improvement or take away from my focus.

Makes alot of sense. Canada has:

- one of the largest uranium reserves

- a well respected and safe nuclear design in CANDU

- experience with building and refurbishing nuclear reactors(Darlington)

and for Ontario itself A need for more baseload to work with the large amount of solar and wind that Ontario has added in the last 10 years.

Saskatchewan also now has a potential need for nuclear for industrial use now that wasn't present before from its existing population.

if the government can clear the red tape by using a well tested reactor design then they could certainly get some of these reactors built in that time frame.

15 seems...ambitions, but if we're going to spend at a federal level this is probably one of the better things to invest in.

Really?

I don't think anyone really holds him responsible for the dotnet crash of 2000 as that was a market issue and irrational exuberance issue and not a monetary one.

And 2008 was similar. The Fed doesn't control or have any responsibility for lower lender standards or ARM mortgages.

Congress was responsible for the GSE's that bought any mortgages and wrote insurance on those mortgages, so you can't blame the FED for that.

Wallstreet are their regulators were responsible for the securitization of mortgages that went bad in 2008, not the FED.

At worst you can say they had the wrong monetary policy but that's an opinion and not something that can be said as a fact.

Can you flesh out how you feel Greenspan is responsible for 2008?

I'd never heard of this. Can you provide a link?

I'd be very interested in reading about this fraud.

Ah, thank you.

"DX tarpits"

Google shows no results for this term so i'm guessing its your own short hand for something hard?

Oh wow. I love mine, so much that I've never been back to the apple laptop eco system since. The two surface laptops I've had are the best laptops I've owned.

The build it rock solid, its trivial to run wsl for a Linux environment and I still get a windows environment for work with excel, etc.

The keys don't come off the keyboard like they do with my old mac chicklet style laptop keys and even my 10 year old can still drive multiple external monitors.

We do all our work samples in person at a our offices as part of the in person interviews. Takes 2-3 hours, never been a problem so far.

If you are going to take a day off to do 3-4 in person interviews at a company then this slots in well.

The technical term is that you must have an “insurable interest” in what you insure.

Yep, we're in full agreement here

being pedantic here but

You aren't allowed to set up a life insurance policy on someone else's life, or a fire insurance policy on someone else's home

This isn't really true. Lots of people take out life insurance on others as a hedge for many reasons, small business partner is one. Same fire insurance, we had a case where someone pledged a building as collateral and we took out separate fire insurance on the building so we'd get paid out immediately.

I'm not sure where this false premise started but alot of people believe it.

I do find it to be true that with coding agents the famous quote from Jurassic Park goes through my head multiple time a day

"our scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they never stopped to ask if they should.

I've now come to the realization that if I'm having an llm work constantly all day writing code for me i'm probably doing something wrong as I'm no longer focusing on the core issue itself.

I may be in a minority here in that I write code to augment my self and not to ship to others so I can tell very quickly if I'm just gold platting something or if i'm actually delivering real value to my trading or risk management.

Is there something similar for the HP 48G calculators that anyone knows of?

How can you make yourself genuinely care about something you don't care about? It sounds as plausible as changing your own sexual orientation.

Most people don't care about the gym but they care about their health and their health as they age so many learn to care about going to the gym even if they don't love every minute of their gym time. I'm one of those people.

I wasn't looking for a gotcha at all. I was wondering what specific individuals are you referring to and what crimes you think they committed.

It's a real problem at this point. People still say "nobody went to jail for the GFC" even though over 200 people did in the US; it's just it took a decade and nobody actually paid attention a decade later when they went to jail.

Did over 200 people in the US go to jail for the GFC? I just tried looking and I only see 1 person in the US. Iceland had about 25.

What were the crimes you believe were committed in 2008 and who do you think committed those crimes?

Nice work.

I remember giving this task to a summer co-op 10-12 years ago. it was alot harder to scrape the edgar site then and gather all for form 4 filings without the new api call first interface and the XBML markup in 10-K and 10-Q filings.

Shades of early twitter.

Early twitter showed the fail whale as often as it showed tweets and yet it was an unstoppable juggernaut that people kept using.

Sad commentary on the modern world where my first thought was, well good for Orban to concede defeat. Not all current world heads of state have that much maturity.

This bodes well for the midterm state of the European union.

That may be true, but capitalism has nothing to do wit betting or prediction markets.

You can have those with any government or market style.

Sure and Google, FaceBook and Twitter support section 230 that gives them cover for hosting others content.

A company backing legislation that takes liability off them is something that they will always do.
