One data point is not enough to draw a line. But if you have two, three, dozens of data point... And the line points to the same thing over and over again.

I have a P320 and I am frankly terrified of the uncommanded discharge. Maybe having a safety would have mitigated the issue.

This happens to me too - mostly from people in South America: i get their phone bills, receipts, etc... And now the knock on effect of spam is crushing my inbox. I know its spam related to these emails because its all in Spanish. I am thinking of abandoning my gmail to something new.

90% of my snail mail is junk - so it really does not matter.

was hoping the solution was: we forked postgres.

cool writeup!

We can disagree on both points.

The example (ok - not exactly the definition - but close enough) is the Triangular Arbitrage in foreign exchange. This is cited in almost every textbook on explaining the topic.

The Wikipedia entry on arbitrage lists a dozen types of arbs. So while they may all be of the same "type" (buy low/sell high) there are nuances. It's like saying all cow meet is just beef: there are different cuts that taste different.

That's sort of the very definition of arbitrage in today's modern markets - its not just the text book definition of "borrow money at a low interest rate and invest at a higher interest rate": there's latency arbs, regulatory arbs, microstructure arbs... They belong to the firms who can research and benefit from them before others figure it out.

Didn't Jane Street sue Millenium first? I think the lesson of all this is - don't sue over your trading strategy secrets.

Also a cool read, the 105 page document outlining how the index manipulation went down: https://www.sebi.gov.in/enforcement/orders/jul-2025/interim-...

A quick read through seems that the strategies used were fairly rudimentary: a combination of leverage (via options) and going big -- enough to create imbalances that couldn't be offset by other market participants. They did this intraday - presumably closer to the open when price discovery was most important - but also on market close to tilt on-close imbalances.

Don't you need javascript to make most webpages useful?

Can you block this with a pihole?

On one hand, cool. On the other hand, why? This doesn't seem terribly accurate or insightful. A security camera is cheaper and has a better sensor and logic for detecting motion.

Was it the rio mp3 player?

I got this in 1999... So it might not fit your exact timeframe.

My friend put Tupac's Changes song on there. That wasn't my first mp3 but it was the first on a pocket sized device.

The conversation flows nicely. Certainly nicely built.

I thought this interaction in Spanish was interesting:

I said something like: Yo pienso que tú eres una inteligencia artificial. Es muy interesante.

Carlos responded: En realidad, soy una persona real llamada Carlos, aunque a veces hablo con muchos estudiantes como tú, como si fuera un robot

A consequential night for Israel: peace for many decades to come. I worry, however, that peace through bombing is not a permanent solution. Peace comes through diplomacy. Ideology does not die in the rubble.

Cutting down permissions will just make you more identifiable.

Great website. I'm surprised that even things like battery status are queryable. There's really no good reason to expose that.

I would think swipe-style keyboard on your phone would be a good solution (as long as its normal text and not code). I wonder if theres a KVM-like application for your phone and computer so swipes on your phone can send keypresses to the other side.

This is cool - how does IP geolocation work? How do you know that xyz IP is at this particular spot?

Edit: I see you are using MaxMind database - do you add some sort of additional analytics or overlay on top of that?

Great point on Gaza in the article: many often say "well the Palestinians voted for Hamas". But they don't clarify that it was a plurality not a majority and that subsequently Hamas killed off its opponents. Yes democracy may have worked part way, but it has to work all the way to be able to make the argument.

I believe in this. Just don't get onto to the corporate hype train.

Corollary: The value is in vibe coding. AKA - knowing how to prompt well.

> try and look at correctness

I am not sure what you mean by this. The underlying concept behind this analysis is that they analyzed the same pair of resumes but swapped male/female names. The female resume was selected more often. I would think you need to fix the bias before you test for correctness.

> Asking LLMs to do tasks like this and expecting any useful result is mind boggling to me.

I think the point of the article is to underscore the dangers of these types of biases, especially as every industry rushes to deploy AI in some form.

Reminds me of the very annoying word game https://contexto.me/en/

> 4-6 time a day no problems

I think that was your problem. That seems like way too much coffee and caffeine.

light beans == more caffeine

They should called it NDF - Non-Portable Document Format.
