Barely two weeks after Stable Diffusion release, we use SD as its acronym? That's fast.

Off-topic: in the order book updates example, the top of the book is updated using one field per message:

echo '{ "symbol": "AAPL", "bidPrice": 174.1 }' | rpk topic produce book-updates echo '{ "symbol": "AAPL", "bidVolume": 1000 }' | rpk topic produce book-updates echo '{ "symbol": "AAPL", "askPrice": 174.2 }' | rpk topic produce book-updates echo '{ "symbol": "AAPL", "askVolume": 2000 }' | rpk topic produce book-updates echo '{ "symbol": "AAPL", "bidPrice": 174.0 }' | rpk topic produce book-updates

However some top of the book update can result in an entire level disappearing. In that case, both price and volume changed actually at the same time, yet according to this example it will be broken down into two messages? This will lead to inconsistent state of the book when I read it between two messages. Or did the example just happen to show one field per message, and multiple fields per message are possible too?

Back in the day `aws ec2 get-console-output --instance-id $ID` used to contain the public key that can be extracted using regex. Not sure if this still works.

> Ukraine is bleeding them as fast as Russia

Proportionally maybe yes. But count-wise Russians are losing more soldiers than Ukrainians.

That maybe true (do we really have precise enough numbers for that?), but they are of the same magnitude order, which is the problem.

Off-topic. What's up with that giant meaningless Ethereum logo image occupying 90% of my screen. Why are websites doing this?

Are you using NoScript or an adblocker? It is probably blocking a third-party script from loading that the site needs to render the rest of the page.

I get this too for the same reason, ad/script blocking.

It really tickles me to imagine the bewilderment of seeing a webdesign trend of starting every page with a giant static logo.

Yup I use ad blocker.

I don't understand where N-1.1111 comes from. Isn't it enough for all the shares to add up to less than N-1 for there to be a profitable bet?

If all no shares add up to S < N-1, then gross winnings will be N-1-S > 0, which when multiplied by 0.9 to get net winnings will still be positive.

From the fees. 90% of a $1.1111 profit is $1.

Notably, you don't need to post $N to make this bet. PredictIt calculates your worst case scenario and holds only that money. A set of "No" shares worth N-1.12, if it existed, would be literally free to hold. Fees are included in that calculation, but also fees are based on the difference between that cost to hold and the return. So yes, profits mean different things in different parts of that calculation in this degenerate case.

A full set of Nos worth N-1 would be a guaranteed loss of $0.10 per share from fees. PredictIt would hold that 10¢ and you would never see it again.

What is tabular data precisely?

I can represent an image as a table of RGB values. I can represent hierarchical data as a table of unnested values.

https://ground.news reports news and their left/center/right coverage. I guess you can extract some right-leaning news sources from there.

On a similar note: respectively. Stop using it. "To variables a and b assign values 1 and 2, respectively".

Who ever is getting confused here if "respectively" is left out?

It's suppose to be clarifying between a=1 b=2 and a = [1,2] b = [1,2]

For example "Give the cookies and brownies to Angie and Bob" could mean both Angie and Bob get both cookies and brownies. "Give the cookies and brownies to Angie and Bob, respectively" clarifies that the cookies go to Angie, and the brownies go to Bob.

Thanks, I learned something new.

The charts in the article are PNG images. Yet the text in the charts is separate and is superimposed on the chart in precise position.

How is this done? Is the journalist manually CSS-positioning the text? Is there a library? An internal Economist tool?
