Are there open source examples of this? I'm not treasure hunting, just curious what sort of data they use, etc.
lots of ads on this site that does seem to contain any unique content

In ancient times, such as during the period of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, full-grown cows were significantly smaller than modern cattle. Based on archaeological evidence (bones and remains), historians and archaeozoologists estimate the following sizes:
• Height: Approximately 100–120 cm (3.3–4 feet) at the shoulder.
• Weight: Between 200–400 kg (440–880 lbs), depending on the breed, sex, and regional conditions.
For comparison:
• Modern cattle like Holsteins (dairy cows) stand around 140–150 cm at the shoulder and weigh 700–900 kg.
• Some smaller modern breeds, like Dexter cattle, resemble ancient cattle in stature, with a height of 90–120 cm and weight of 300–450 kg.
Factors Influencing Smaller Size in Ancient Cattle
1. Nutritional Limitations: Grazing conditions were less controlled, and fodder quality was inconsistent.
2. Genetics: Ancient cattle were not selectively bred for size like modern cattle.
3. Purpose: Cattle were primarily used for labor (draught animals) and small-scale milk production, rather than for meat.
Ancient cattle were functional animals suited to the agricultural practices and available resources of their time, so their size reflected these limitations.
Have you had any success using LLMs to rewrite Python to rust?
It's surprising the extent to which the tech community overfits towards classifying intelligent individuals as either exclusively technical or nontechnical. Recruiters are especially weak in this regard, e.g., if you've ever been effective at sales or people leadership, you are likely ineffective at swe or data science or vice versa. The most intelligent folks I've worked with are very diverse in their interests and abilities. You can see this in an elementary school GT classroom. Why does the tech community believe this is always an either/or proposition?
Can you recommend some favorites?
Thank you so much for the detailed response. This makes perfect sense.
1.1B in NOLs. How does this not become a $200MM acquihire by UPS pre-bankruptcy? I’m asking because I would assume that the tax mitigation could be an asset and feel like I am missing something. I am not an accountant, but would love for one to explain why bankruptcy is the best choice.
This…not to mention NOLs, contracts, MSAs, etc. At some level there is a market price for these “assets”. Maybe we need an eBay for near bankrupt startups? The bankers aren’t getting it done.

I have paid for a subscription to the economist for most of my adult life and the authentication scheme for the website is garbage.
ID.me does not have a monopoly on former military in the IDV space. Understand that lots of former military have clearance, relationships, etc., but does not explain the success of such a low quality solution being this ubiquitous in government at both the state and local level.
What was the vendor selection process for ID.me? Their UX, privacy, and security practices seem terrible. What’s the real story on how ID.me became so pervasive in the public sector with such a terrible product?
A hagiography (/ˌhæɡiˈɒɡrəfi/; from Ancient Greek ἅγιος, hagios 'holy', and -γραφία, -graphia 'writing') or vita (from Latin vita, life, which begins the title of most medieval biographies) is a biography of a saint or an ecclesiastical leader, as well as by extension, an adulatory and idealized biography of a founder, saint, monk, nun or icon in any of the world's religions.

Mostly to the bottom, but some remains suspended in a saline dihydrogen monoxide solution.
Specialized non-consumer accessible hardware is a huge stumbling block for these types of solutions.
Privacy issues aside, identity is a huge problem in financial services. Not surprised that investments in this space are going far afield to meet this need. The most problematic aspect here: "crypto startup has one of the more comically rigorous user acquisition flows, licensing their Orb cameras to contractors across the globe who manually go through the person of verifying each and every new user on the network in every city of every country on every continent of the globe". This means a major up front investment in hardware likely to be outdated, damaged, vandalized, etc. very quickly alongside a major investment in physical human resources. Biometrics for identity in finance feels like the right direction, but this doesn't feel like the right answer.
who are they using for ID verification?
At one point Miles asked Apotheker why he hadn't read Autonomy's most recent financial results around the time of the deal, asking incredulously: "You didn't have 30 minutes?" Apotheker responded: "I was running a $125 billion company, sir, and minutes are pretty precious."[1]

This is the subject of a painting by artist Hernan Bas, "The Ornamental Hermit".

The concept raises questions about power, class, voyeurism, contemplation, and loneliness. Reminds me of this story (pardon the source)...
"""As for the contracts, they were usually very rigorous. The most famous arrangement between one such hermit and an aristocrat called Charles Hamilton illustrates the strict conditions under which a hermit was supposed to act:
(A hermit must) continue on the Hermitage seven years, where he shall be provided with a Bible, optical glasses, a mat for his feet, a hassock for his pillow, an hourglass for timepiece, water for his beverage, and food from the house. He must wear a camlet robe, and never, under any circumstances, must he cut his hair, beard, or nails, stray beyond the limits of Mr. Hamilton’s grounds, or exchange one word with the servant.
Unfortunately for Mr. Hamilton, the only known hermit that agreed upon these conditions lasted merely three weeks at his “workplace.” One day, he vanished from the estate and was later seen in a local pub, probably enjoying his freedom with a pint of beer."""

Not that I've used it in several years, but Teradata and AsterData used to run on SUSE. It was extremely stable in my experience.
Barry Ritholtz has a great business and finance podcast called “Masters in Business” and frequently discusses favorite books and book recommendations in context of the dialogue.
“MiB was originally conceived by its creator, Barry Ritholtz, as a deep dive into the minds of the most influential, savvy and successful people in the world of business & finance. The podcast explores how these folks became the professionals they are today: Who their mentors and influences were, what their personal work history is like, what books they read, even what their daily routines and thought processes are like. A listener wrote: “The show is like eavesdropping two very smart market professionals having a deep discussion over a cup of coffee.””

The notation for the indefinite integral was introduced by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in 1675 (Burton 1988, p. 359; Leibniz 1899, p. 154). He adapted the integral symbol, ∫, from the letter ſ (long s), standing for summa (written as ſumma; Latin for "sum" or "total").

Semantics, but “negative cash conversion cycle”, not “negative cash flow cycle”.
What tools do you find useful?
It’s been a while, but Looker provides LookML, something akin to an ORM for dynamically integrating relations, measures, aggregations, etc. into SQL queries on demand as well as a variety of visualization options for the result set. This is somewhat similar to the architected metadata aspects of SAP Business Objects or Microstrategy.
Periscope provides an interface for a developer to manually write a static query and visualize the output similar to Apache Superset.
