How much do you pay for this?

Yup this absolutely echoes my own experience and thoughts on this

Hmm. i think you need a universe at least 10bn+ years for intelligent life as you need to have had cycle of earlier stars going supernovae to create the heavier elements.

That aside, 13bn years old is young. literally an instantaneous flash in the context of all time until heat death of the universe.

Lots of moaning about this in the comments but no real explanation as to what the objection is beyond vague references to "privacy". What is the actual risk to me as an innocent person going about their daily business? If it helps identify perpetrators of crime what's the issue?

Comments here seem like an ideological kneejerk response.

What do their gold deliveries have anything to do with their financial situation? That'll just be settling GC contracts, and there will be clients on the other side.

Can you train this on say Wikipedia and have it generate semi-sensible responses?

High frequency is the domain of market makers. They are not taking positions in anything (well, only momentarily), they are just matching buyers with sellers. Actual investors move the market, and can be split into "fast money" and "real money". Fast money is basically hedge funds, holding periods typically hours - months depending on the strategy. Real money is the traditional investor base: asset managers, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurers. These guys are much slower: e.g. the investment committee might meet once a quarter, and investment strategy (e.g "we're gonna get a bit longer UK real rates", or "dial US equity allocation down 5%") is often only updated annually.
Markets are not as efficient as the textbooks would have you believe. Investors typically rely on a fairly small set of analysts for market news and views. It might take those guys a while to think about stuff, write a note etc. The deepseek crash last year lagged by several days as well.
Re:Data centers in space makes no sense on Tuesday February 03, 2026 @05:21PM (#46878171)
It's lala land nonsense.

- Data centres need a lot of power = giant vast solar panels

- Data centres need a lot of cooling. That's some almighty heatsinks you're going need

- They will need to be radiation-hardened to avoid memory corruption = even more mass

- The hardware will be redundant in like 2 years tops and will need replacing to stay competitive

- Data centres are about 100x bigger (not including solar panels and heat sinks) than the biggest thing we've ever put in space

Tesla is losing market share (and rank increasingly poorly against alternatives), his robots are gonna fail, this datacentre ambition needs to break the laws of physics, grok/twitter is a fake news pedo-loving cesspit that's gonna be regulated into oblivion. Its only down from here on out.

The calendly thing is interesting. I get a fair amount of prospecting outreach on LI, and if anyone asks me to book a slot myself, it's an instant no. I feel like you can't be bothered to actually engage with me, that you are not prepared to do this tiny bit of work. It almost feels disrespectful?

Am I alone in this?

Anyway, is not an approach I would take.

unless you already have the gear and a subscription, not sure how an Iranian citizen can get starlink set up: starlink doesn't ship there, so needs to be individually imported, plus will need to be paid for by a debit/credit card from a non-sanctioned country
yah but not sure how someone in Iran can actually get the hardware shipped to them (I just tried Tehran as delivery, and starlink website said "no"), and also would need a bank or credit card from a non-sanctioned country to be able to actually pay for it
Yeah I never understood the watertight arguments. Just about any law can be circumvented or violated, that doesn't invalid having the law.

As I updated my thinkpad to 32 GB of RAM this morning (£150) I remembered my £2k (corporate) thinkpad in 1999, running Windows 98, had 32 MB of RAM. And it ran full Office and Lotus notes just fine :)

Tell HN: MS's integration of OneDrive into Windows is a total mess

These are the issues I am experiencing:- Multiple different paths that actually point to the same location- Files visible in an application explorer (e.g. Excel), but NOT windows explorer- Stuff randomly stored only in the cloud, and not local + cloud- System folders (e.g. Documents) that point to DIFFERENT locationsIn short, I have no idea where anything is.</rant>
