baobabKoodaa··on Morningstar values SpaceX at $780B, half its IPO target
If a bear craps in the woods and nobody is around to interview it, is the bear still bearish?

You're repeating tired quotes without even understanding what they mean. The quote "longer than you can stay solvent" refers to short selling. Here you are using it in the opposite context: to describe a long position. It makes no sense. How exactly would a non leveraged long position get margin called?
baobabKoodaa··on Meta repeatedly snubs EU body over Facebook and Instagram user bans
The one consistent moderation policy of all these platforms appear to be that they are pro-violence. Posting graphic images of extreme violence so that the images get seen by people who very much DO NOT want to see violence is for some reason a-okay.
baobabKoodaa··on Angry devs vow to flee GitHub Copilot as metered billing takes hold
I cancelled my autopilot subscription because Microsoft communicated to me that I would have to pay metered use in addition to the flat rate which I already pay. You're telling me this was misinfo? Microsoft actually is not starting to meter usage of autocomplete by GitHub Copilot? Why did they send this message then?

I'm guessing this is just LLM-enabled mass spam not particularly targeted at unemployed people

baobabKoodaa··on Can the stockmarket swallow Anthropic, SpaceX and OpenAI?
"Best in class" is a broad definition. Anthropic can easily charge a large premium for their "best in small class" and "best in medium class" models, for any given definition of "small" and "medium"

Can someone recommend good alternatives that work in VSCode? I just want autocomplete, I don't want any agent bs.

Anthropic is not MoviePass. Its unit economics will be fine after it decides to optimize for profitability.

That's not what arbitrage means

Normal people generally won't be able to beat professionals in the "market timing game". So when Joe Sixpack decides to sell off his index funds with intent to buy back in at a lower price, he's usually making a mistake. Staying invested in the market is a better choice for most investors because being in cash is about -2%/year EV whereas being in stocks is about +6%/year EV.

Games often have inherent technical complexity. Big tech has mountains of unnecessary complexity just to get to "hello world", as you said. These are different things in nature.

Okay, I reread your comment and I still don't understand what you were trying to say, sorry.

Regarding that second question:

> You also think smacking children is inherently bad. What makes you believe so?

Are you asking me why something is "inherently" bad or good? That question doesn't make sense, because if there was some external reason, then it wouldn't be "inherently" bad or good.

I don't think there's much point in continuing this discussion, because we've now gone several times back and forth where each time I have no idea what you're trying to say.

*edit: maybe you were looking for an answer like this: each person has their own moral foundation (or, most people do, at least). it's shaped by a combination of their genes and cultural influence, and later in life, possibly re-shaped by some introspective moments. some person might feel very strongly that "truth" is valuable in and of itself. another person might feel very strongly that all forms of "violence" are wrong. a third person might not care much about either of those things. everybody has a different set of morals. i don't know what specific causes caused my morals to think "violence against children is wrong", but some combination of genes and cultural influence I guess.

"blocks" is a generous way of putting it. it puts you into an infinite recaptcha loop. i would rather just see a message saying i am blocked.

So now you're trying to say that "smacking" is not violence? At least where I live, in Finland, smacking someone in the head is considered to be a violent crime (battery). If I smacked you in the head, you could file a criminal complaint, a prosecutor would sue me, and you would win the lawsuit. You want to argue that smacking is not violence? I don't really get this line of arguing.
