Any ideas about how to bet on Polymarket's own demise on Ploymarket? The challenge is how to collect.. perhaps bets on things, indicators, that it's on the way to ruin.

Agree. The process is not unlike on-boarding a junior programmer on the team. You guide and nurture them on their path to becoming more effective contributors.

Presently using Claude for my 1st real Quarkus project. We both read Quarkus in Action but my "junior programmer" has better memory than I.

I worry cuz he's a bully with the business acumen of a mafia boss, the emotional intelligence of a toddler, and now that scotus has taken away the tariffs he's been wielding as weapon, he's prone to act out ("hit twice as hard," he likes to say) with little regard for cost or consequence

Masterful.

@zhitzig.bsky.social re how to deal w/ AI, I think knowing who (or what) created a piece of content (and when) can help. I've been working on a commitment scheme (and easy-to-use software SDK) for journals and ledgers. Can double as an attribution engine. More info linked from my profile.

No, I can't reproduce what I was seeing on mobile (maybe I hadn't toggled the "expand-all" button).

But while there, I noticed a possible unrelated improvement and submitted an issue. Not much really.. a shorthand that uses the API requirement that Stream.toList() *must* return an immutable List.

Crickets on the other side of the pond

Sure, assuming I remember ;)

I don't see them (mobile).

Nice work! In the Collections category.. I think you ought to also include the new static List methods

Give the guy a break, it musta been accidental. His one job is to warm the toilet seat before the president sits on it to tweet. You can easily imagine a mix up during the handoff.. prez handing him his phone to free his hands while he unzips

From a short seller's perspective, there's little time left to milk the juice: bears are in control and the bulls have no legs to stand on.

Next prediction:

As crypto sours, Trump's fellow grifters turn on him.

"Technology executives will assume direct criminal liability.. The era of hiding behind servers is over."

Fuck yea 👍

Its leaking of meta data is a big deal. Why Iran does not block the app, perhaps.

He's a fake, more worried about keeping his job than putting up a real fight when it matters. The Schumer Jeffries types must be primaried out.

I want a real Democrat. You're a fake. You're not rising to the moment. Go away and make room for a younger generation. Even the Bailey's understand you're a fake

My position on LLMs is that they are viruses to [the structure of] language. More of this please.. antibodies to kill them.

JBang 🙃

I get your point. So is there a solution to achieve something similar for java? My 1st thought is runtime resolution thru say some type of local maven ClassLoader..

Yes, a variety release flavors and via maven central, also ;)

I guess what I'm stressing is it's better if the CLI has no external deps. I actually prefer shipping along a jlinked VM to native compiled.

Let's!

I think whenever possible, any java library that might conceivably have a use case from the command line ought to have 1 or more (well designed) native-compiled CLIs.

For my own OS projects, I've made it a goal to make CLIs before other UIs.

100% accurate. 120, 160, in some cases 1000% accurate

Me thinks 1 time wealth tax not good policy (I favor taxing short term capital gains agressively, for eg). Regardless, these tech bros are under the impression they can drag the ecosystem that supports them to another state. They should know better but are surrounded by yes men. Let them try, I say.

Indian IT industry, a window into how AI fails to deliver enterprise applications. And not for a lack of enthusiasm for throwing money at it.

PS sloplord is apt-- added to my vocab.

The irony is that this sloptech depends on consuming *human output: when it consumes its own slop, it's like it's eaten its own shit. It already does and will only get worse, if they succeed. It's all unimaginably stupid

You have no idea what the real cost of healthcare is. No one does. The system is so rigged and obfuscated that not even the providers can tell what anything really costs. One very real reason the Soviets collapsed was because they couldn't price things. So too we will because we can't

Do not be disturbed. Such age discrepancies are always deliberate, a kind of homage to epics like the Odyssey
