I like this idea! There might be an increased danger of a battery explosion: it’ll be near bright sunlight, away from where people will see it, with an old battery. I wonder if there are battery diagnostics that could provide an early warning?
I’m sure most of us have a fistful of old phones somewhere, the idea of using them for something is appealing.
Noticing a lot of similarities with vi! Happy to have had that tour, though I’m not sure I’ve encountered a system without vi or nano yet.
E: I have since discovered that the default mail program accepts ed commands as described here, such as p$ to print the last mail
i’d settle for more sidewalks in my town
on some streets they just paint a line down the road and call it a sidewalk - one of these is on a road touching an elementary school
I’d probably do this for a hobby project
but financial software? no way in heck!
Their entire worldview is an anxiety buffet; they’ve got something for everyone, all they need to bring is unmanaged fear
This is not answering your question (I can’t argue for my current SWR, it’s the trinity study minus a random fudge factor), but I’ve implemented an idea that I think others would benefit from.
I’ve been tracking my current withdrawal rate through time, based on my periodic calculation of baseline expenses. I suppose I could use actual expenses, but that’s remarkably volatile, so instead I take the 6 month average of recurring costs.
The benefit is a nice time series graph I can watch. I can plot a horizontal line for my current expected return on capital, and another for my safe withdrawal rate.
The net result is a lot of information condensed nicely. You can see at a glance if you’re trending towards safety, or away from it.
I’m not saying there isn’t a backdoor, but I can comfortably say that the user who posted that is nuts.

RBC has increased their prime rate to 7.2%; was 6.7% in May
That’ll cost about a million dollars in savings to sustain long term, assuming you’re invested in the stock market and you withdraw 4% a year (“safe withdrawal rate”)
Good luck everybody 😕
I spent a lot of time learning from traders, and learning statistics. Most folks in trading use misleading profit and loss metrics to see if something is worth trading. I used the same kind of backtests, but I layered Bayesian inferencing on top of it.
I studied machine learning with Andrew Ng’s courses, studied deep learning with Ian Goodfellow’s book. Most importantly I took a course run by university professor and researcher in anthropology, Richard McElreath. I did my best to faithfully apply what I learned, though I am sure I strayed from academic standards.
At that point I had been doing this for years, for countless hours. It was my only hobby, and I dive hard into hobbies.
I tried my damnedest to be predictive every which way. I kept meticulous records to avoid fooling myself. Sometimes my models fooled me, and sometimes they combined with luck for my records to fool me. Long term, it’s pretty clear. No evidence of any edge, ever, for any approach taken.
At the end of all of this toil and labour, I have the skills I learned along the way: statistical skepticism, a hands-on understanding of fat tails, an appreciation for the experience of randomness and the highs and lows of gambling. I think that’s worth a lot - but I also think you can learn that a lot easier some other way.
I have done very well with buy and hold, it’s fantastic. There’s some bullshit in how you assign your portfolio - what proportions of what exposures - but its very profitable and exceptionally low stress compared to trading. It definitely has a better Sharpe/sortino/ulcer metric.
“The Lemmy Overseer” as I understand it is a backend service that gives us an API to use.
There is an open-source script for interacting with it. However, it does not tell you how that backend service works, exactly. It’s a black box with well defined interfaces, best case, as I understand it.
Important question; author kind of answers here:

If I were to rely on this for my instance, I would require that it be completely transparent and open source. It doesn’t look like this is; you have to trust that it is making good selections, and give it power over your federation status. It’s a dangerous tool, IMO, but I can understand why it would have appeal right now.
they look really great!
My mom threw a massive tantrum at my school when they suggested I might benefit from medication. To be fair, it was a bad school and their specific recommendations were dubious, but something was certainly “up”. My sibling learned they were diagnosed with ADHD in childhood about a year ago, and they’re in their forties now.
Mental health stigma is really damaging.
