Similar principle applies to open source or any other creative endeavor put in the public domain.

I'd argue the trust was always relative. Witness what happens when you are hired to untangle the buggy mess that was left by the previous "senior" engineer. Sure there was trust when they were in charge, but based on the code they wrote, they didn't actually understand anything they were doing.

In the future that class will control the guillotines in the form of Boston Dynamics guard dogs.

Impressive work. Curious to how many hours of labor what the development path was. Several man-years possibly?

Improving trend day detection signals.

Clarify?

Are you building a Google Trends like tool?

I've been using / testing out such tools lately for market research + discovering new ideas etc.

Trading markets.

> That is gambling, not investing. And you can lose lots of money by gambling.

Most trading professionals would not call it gambling if you have positive expectation and a process.

Positive expectation properly and repeatedly executed over time is a business.

Would you say a casino is gambling by offering table games to customers?

Most gamblers have a positive expectation and a process.

For the uninformed, bypassnro was how you installed Windows 11 (anonymously?) and with full local control without a Microsoft account. To save a Ctrl-F:

    [Other]

    We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11. This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account.

Note that they indicate they're removing the script, not the registry value the script sets. This means bypassnro should continue to work.

I've come up with two possible conclusions:

1. Microsoft doesn't want me as a customer - despite being a developer in their ecosystem for 20+ years - because I don't want a Copilot-powered PC, don't buy their services and won't push my computer to a subscription model they own.

2. MS is a really big company and the parts that are still doing good dev-centric work have been crowded out by the consumer-oriented business, where the OS is just a means to pushing AI and cloud everything.

The reality doesn't really matter as I don't see how I can buy another windows machine when the desktop I'm using becomes unsupported in a few months, despite running triple-A games fine and being my development driver every day. I can't believe this was the goal and I'd bet their are people inside MS who are really disappointed with their direction, but hey - everyone is getting rich, so YOLO!

> Microsoft doesn't want me as a customer

Well, assuming you're right, when do you walk away?

We always come upon this inflection point where profits are prioritized over user experience. And users always threaten to leave, but never actually have any leverage. The Windows users are all invested in their Valorant and Microsoft Store purchases the same way Apple pundits can't threaten to walk away with $1,000+ invested in the software ecosystem. Microsoft doesn't want you, but you sure seem to want Microsoft.

If we accept that commercialized operating systems objectively suck, we can skip this whinging. There aren't any engineers at Microsoft waiting for their pager to light up so they can stop making bad software.

> Microsoft doesn't want me as a customer

You're right. The main customers are companies. Your employer will buy it for you!

At least one person at Microsoft either doesn't know what "user experience" means or they are being dishonest about it.

Everyone can say things that sound smart. When it comes to markets the only thing that matters is if your portfolio was green or red.

Since when gambling on a RNG output makes you smart?

It seems to me like both of you are saying same thing.

My entry into Nvidia is 2016, my portfolio has never been red since then.

No, the only thing that matters is if the portfolio delivers returns in excess of your cost of capital.

If your portfolio is green, you can still be a poor performer.

Take up trading, it will give you something to do, and afterwards you won't need to worry about being rich!

I became debt free about a year ago and thought I should get into investing. It turned out that it's incredibly boring to me and because of that I haven't been able to learn it properly. I also thought that if I became really good at it, I would just have more money that I don't know how to spend.

Or more likely lose it all and have to work again.

Depends how much money you are prepared to spend.
