I didn't know that. How does that work?

The buyer of your short sale would lose money to you. Remember options are contracts between two parties.

Shorters are selling to willing buyers at the current fair market price. So that they may survive.

I broke it by only responding "Thinking..." Very fun!

“I don’t translate, I interpret” - Ahmed the best interpreter there ever was

Driving a Jaaaaag but not being able to bring women/men home seems like a special kind of hell.

How can you compare if you have only iPhone?

Highly suggest you read 1984.

Thanks for your contribution to this problem. Keen to see what you come up with next!

I request an official statement from Anthropic explaining how they're going to limit outages in the future. Elevated errors almost always means its down for me and I can't be that unlucky statistically speaking. It seems that Anthropic does not have a good grip on the ops side of things.

Never join a startup for the money. It’s meaningless to even compare your current comp. Will you learn a lot? Will it be fun and do you enjoy working with tight deadlines? You probably won’t learn a lot of technical skills since the other two are non-technical but you could learn sales which is arguably more important.

It’s not clear to me. What makes you sure it’s AI assisted?

Why not a credit card charge back? That’s what it’s for (assuming he paid with one)

Pedestrian traffic deaths are going down again after peaking in 2022. Accidents are less survivable in the US due to bigger cars and higher hoods.

Quote from CDC

During 2013–2022, U.S. traffic-related death rates increased a relative 50.0% for pedestrians and 22.5% overall, compared with those in 27 other high-income countries, where they declined a median of 24.7% and 19.4%, respectively. Across countries, U.S. pedestrian death rates were highest overall and among persons aged 15–24 and 25–64 years.

Better a drone be shot down than a crewed P-8 no?

Business idea - Iran Bitcoin fee intermediary. Realistically the CIA will handle this for US companies and maybe allies until they figure something out.

98% uptime is not great. Our eng department is thinking about going half half with Codex but of course there’s a switching cost.

Apple has to make it annoying to use a non-Apple device with your Apple device. That sort of friction probably nets them 2% in keyboard sales per year.

I answered 8/10 correctly but mostly on instinct, for example betting that the Trump tweet is misleading. Opus 4.6 got 9/10 correct. You might need an internal time limit (don't show the user) and some strawberry questions.

In the case of Iraq, they lied on purpose to support the invasion. In the case of Iran, Trump just ignored the intelligence. I do think the intelligence community is capable. For example, they warned of the Russian invasion weeks before it happened when all other European countries said it wouldn’t.

I think also the actual Chernobyl fallout might have something to do with it. They just declared wild mushrooms safe to eat last year, 40 years later.

Of course I agree with you though. This fear based approach doesn’t matter when France, Switzerland and Belgium have tens of reactors on the border.

It’s a tale as old as time: start a war to support the military industrial complex. Imagine a $4 billion investment into public transportation or parks. Every 10 years we can invest into a new city instead of bombing some kids overseas (whose siblings, fueled by hatred, then commit terror attacks on the west).

I doubt that good looking IMAX quality astrophotography is just a prompt away.

The United States is a bully in a China shop and that China shop is the world. It constantly destabilizes the Middle East under false pretenses and lets Europe pick up the refugees. It brain drains and takes innovation to be commercialized. It makes money on the hard labor of others. So yes probably for the best for Europe to do what China is doing and decouple.

Specific examples: Francis Lowell stealing British Loom designs in 1800.

Bessemer steel process replicas. Bell vs European Telephone patents.

Radio: Marconi was initially backed in the US then Bell filed the patents.

Operation Paperclip and all that entails (thousands of German patents invalidated and filed in the US).

They are reprogramming a US built drone to the German datalink equivalent with some AI sprinkled on top. Unfortunately far away from a real industry.

At this point purchasing Google services/products is a real risk for business continuity.

Here take your pick:

Antibiotics, Potassium bromate, aspartame, Red 40, rBGH/rBST, Chlorpyrifos, Atrazine and many more

It was the same detector that imploded. Mark 2 was then reinforced so it didn’t happen again.

It’s objectively easier to build a frontend now and therefore that moat is disappearing. What you can argue is the moat is in incumbent advantage at the UI layer, not the UI itself.

some of OSS if you search for it:

Free sites steal your data. Besides people don't care about the tool, they care about the result. People don't want a faster horse. I strongly believe that this will democratize "doing things" with computers where the tool doesn't matter anymore.
