spend more time on twitter. nyt is just twitter 16 hours late

Imagining that hurricane prediction cone they put on maps, Twitter encompasses the entire cone and then some. Someone on Twitter is gonna be right, but rarely the same person consistently.

I think you misunderstand. His comment about futures markets is equivalent to your comment about twitter. Neither of you are getting your news from NYT.

Futures are sometimes informed hours earlier than Twitter was the point

everyone is assuming this is americans but what if it iranians or israelis or pakistan people . is not just white house cabinet in these rooms

hmm, if i give customer refund i can make less paperclips

if i target tomahawk missiles the government will give me money and i can make more paperclips

effective paperclipism strikes again

why dont UK start enforcing the Marine Insurance Act 1745 to combat this or the Life insurance act maybe 1775

this law literally make it illegal to gamble on marine risk that you do not have direct economic interest in

Are they? Is there a prediction market available in the UK which allows you to place these bets? They're regulated like gambling there.

Bookmakers and betting exchanges regulated in the UK have always been pretty careful about not adding unlawful markets.

Anything that relies directly or indirectly on the death of a real person is covered outlawed by the Life Assurance Act, so you've never been able to bet on things like fatal crashes in an F1 race or the date of the start of the next monarch's reign.

The Marine Insurance Act is a new one on me, but I've never seen anything which would obviously violate that. There's plenty of spread betting on oil, but mostly on prices and volumes, not the fate of individual cargoes.

by this logic investing in SAFEs is obscene gambling with perverse incentives and we should shut down the venture capital industry

yeah man these boys were definitely doing bayesian probability and gaussian distributions to operate their sea shell based barter economy

your kernel is not isolate and if you accidentally run the wrong command in sudo you will nuke your computer lol

or just have a linux vps and ssh in for $5 a month

> if you accidentally run the wrong command in sudo

I'm not seeing your point. Are you saying that I shouldn't use sudo because I might accidentally "run the wrong command"?

I know all the commands that I run and what they do.

> your kernel is not isolate

Am I more afraid of an npm package exploiting a zero day kernel vulnerability on my mac? Or just stealing my AWS keys and installing a crypto miner? Sudo suits my threat model just fine.

My m3 MacBook pro is a million times more powerful dev machine than a cheap $5 vps. Why would I waste my time with that.

yes you right, i assume you using claude code which can in fact accidentally run the wrong command

My Claude runs as a limited user account, which I invoke using sudo.

Claude can run whatever commands it wants and the only harm it can do is nuke its own home directory. That's the whole point.

They weren't getting that sudo was just your mechanism for changing user.

price of gold dropped from $5500 to $4600 in the last few weeks then came back. all is possible

Then they didn't make money as a result of the price rising, which is what the original commenter and article claimed.

there is mild irony founder is wearing a Casio F-91W while installing solar powered smart collar on cow

google is worst because normal people with no tech experience can accidentally get banned from the only email account they ever had since 2005 which has all their insurance tax resumes family photo etc , never even understand how it happened , or fix it

I'm one such person among the billions worldwide, that is a minority on this forum.

Had my workspace account blocked, too. It was an early google account (long before they offered email with it) on a free tier they stopped offering in 2012 - in 2022 they made all free tiers pay. I thought I would get downgraded to the free tier, but nope, all was gone and blocked. Not even google keep (note taking).
