Great! We need more things like this!

Similarly, you can replace the clickbait thumbnails on Youtube with just images from the video with a Firefox extension:

Agree! So many great genuine creators, but the algo keeps pushing only clickbaity shit

Aws Gcp Azure have overbuilt, you don't need most of those services to build scalable and reliable infra for large institutions

The bottleneck is having a standardized SAFE for Europe. Global investors must be able to invest without having to understand Italian and Polish corporate law

At some point the US will lose the Dollar, and it will turn out that US productivity is just like everyone else's.

So much American exceptionalism is just the Dollar exceptionalism.

Without the G7 piling up dollars, there is no American exceptionalism.

Just create a new user and setup pip/npm to install locally.

And setup an .env for the project with user/password to access only a dev database.

Did something similar a while back [1], best way to learn neural nets and backprop. Just using Numpy also makes sure you get the math right without having to deal with higher level frameworks or c++ libraries.

Curious, it's probably my favorite video-game experience ever.
Google, Bing, local newspapers, council websites, passed through LLMs
Currrently works in Italy, Germany, France, Spain and UK.

Rest of Europe and USA coming at the end of the month. The search engine is a bit expensive to run, but it's the only thing I've seen that actually finds local events in small towns.

The market is like an ecosystem. There are huge mammals (investment banks, hedge funds) that look at certain type of preys, and there are smaller rodents that only eat very tiny worms.

In high volatility regimes, ie. stocks with low market cap, the market is far from efficient. Hedge funds are not even looking at stocks with 100M market cap.

There are traders that act in these regimes that beat the market, exactly because they play small.

Anyhow most people would be better of by assuming the market is completely efficient.

I think it's just interest rates.

I can easily get 3% per year investing in safe bonds, so I expect at least 3% to put money on any 100% safe bet.

I want to be paid for waiting X months

Not only America will be poorer. Everyone will be poorer
Everyone puts taxes on some sectors. It's economic policy. Trump is not doing economic policy. He's using a simple formula to ideologically reduce trade deficit. No matter the consequences!

Trust the experts: America will be poorer because of these tariffs.

It's typical Empire Hubris: thinking you can get away with anything because you are special.

Trump doesn't really know what he's doing. He surrounded himself with yes-men that know perfectly not to contradict him.

The global Dollar order was built to American advantage. Trump is dismantling it for no reason. If the dollar order crumbles, the US will discover it has much lower productivity.

There is no American exceptionalism: it's just Dollar exceptionalism. No Dollar, no exceptionalism.

Re:Ask HN: Difficulties with Going Back to School on Sunday March 23, 2025 @10:43AM (#43453246)
Degrees from Europe are very transferable. Germany, Italy, France, the nordics etc. all offer engineering degrees in english basically for free (or close) for all EU citizens. I cannot think of any better and cheaper education path. Some of the best engineers (and professors!) in the US actually got their education from minor and major Universities in Europe where they got their education for free.
It doesn't mention a new category: when people generate code FROM unit-tests

For example:
