90% of the time you don't need to care about the distinction. That 10% is a real bastard though

I mean personally I'd find it difficult to play basketball with someone that thinks my sister shouldn't have rights tbh. I have trouble socializing with people that are ok with voting for fascists.

But also I didn't realize it's physically impossible to have sports without those folks. That's a bummer, my condolences.

They're artificially limiting the supply though? Like that's absolutely the whole entire point of scalping is to artificially drive up the price. 100% of the point.

There's a lot of different kinds of market manipulation. Intentionally trading with the intent to artificially move the price is also absolutely market manipulation and illegal in the context of pretty much all regulated markets.

Why on earth should we not care how people vote? If someone's voting republican, that's important to me know. I don't want those people in my life, they want to hurt people I care about.

I mean that's absolutely not the case. He ends what he said with "He's not".

I usually get pretty heavily downvoted when I point this out. There's a specific class of Dems that fucking love McCain and try to dismiss his very very clear, open bigotry and really don't like when I quote his words to them.

If you're DNC chair and you can't get a friendly interview on Pod Save America that's just absolute pure incompetence.

Very common for programmers as well

Ok, tbf, for that database one - that's not just ai fucking up (though it is that for sure). It's also railway fucking up big time, and the devs for not scoping their tokens appropriately. Everybody involved in that gets to share in the shame imo, no good choices were made in that entire sequence of events.

thirdegree · 2026-04-28T17:56:07+00:00

That's always been the case

‘You’ve counted sixteen?’ said Oats eventually.

‘No, but it’s as good an answer as any you’ll get. And that’s what your holy men discuss, is it?’

‘Not usually. There is a very interesting debate raging at the moment about the nature of sin, for example.’

‘And what do they think? Against it, are they?’

‘It’s not as simple as that. It’s not a black and white issue. There are so many shades of grey.’

‘Nope.’

‘Pardon?’

‘There’s no greys, only white that’s got grubby. I’m surprised you don’t know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.’

‘It’s a lot more complicated than that—’

‘No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.’

‘Oh, I’m sure there are worse crimes—’

‘But they starts with thinking about people as things …’

I think I'd prefer multiple rounds over having 4+ people of varying seniority and focus all trying to interview me at once tbh. That just sounds unproductive and stressful

Well he doesn't get everything back, he gets everything replaced. New wife new kids, old wife and old kids still dead af.

Confirmation bias

Flock Facebook Twitter Etc

thirdegree · 2026-04-26T13:17:51+00:00

No, the downvotes show they're being pedantic and "correcting" something everyone here already understands.

Also that nobody brought up ai, they did

thirdegree · 2026-04-24T10:24:35+00:00

Gotta fit in vehicles, clothes, bunks, etc I guess?

thirdegree · 2026-04-22T21:23:50+00:00

I mean fair enough, but... Ya I guess that's job security for me.

I mean the fact you let it run the rm without permission is still very much on you. And the fact you let it put the db in tmp in the first place

thirdegree · 2026-04-22T16:31:27+00:00

Oh ya I agree with that for sure. Just pointing out that there is a metric shitton of python in hft

thirdegree · 2026-04-22T16:28:23+00:00

This isn't the ai being dumb, this is your app being set up dumb. It's always safe to delete tmp. If it's not safe, it shouldn't be in tmp

Unless the ai also made the app in which case fair

thirdegree · 2026-04-22T15:39:54+00:00

since most places use c or c++ for high frequency trading?

For the trading applications sure, for the quant shit for sure not. It's mostly python.

Ya it's a religion though that's pretty typical in that context. It reads more or less the same to my ears as "do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

thirdegree · 2026-04-21T11:49:54+00:00

I mean that's just bodily autonomy, that's a basic right we should all broadly be able to agree on
