I haven't used zed specifically, but were you using your own API key for Claude? If so, you were probably running into the Anthropic API rate limits [1]. You can either a) deposit more funds to move your way up the tier list, or instead access Claude via something like OpenRouter, which will give you much higher limits.
Is there any sort of dynamic range compression available with Apple Podcasts? I've looked around, but can't seem to find anything. I find it especially necessary when listening in the car, so I've been using Overcast...
Somewhat OT - but from their FAQ they say they're targeting a price of $200M for the Overture. I'm certainly no expert, but this feels to some extent a bargain given the capability. Capacity 55-75 passengers. A few data points for comparison (all of these approximate of course, with multiple variants available of each):
Airbus A220 - $90M
Airbus A320neo - $110M
Boeing 787 - $140M
Boeing 777 - $320M
Airbus A350 - $325M
Gulfstream G700 - $75M
All of these can of course carry more passengers (except the Gulfstream), but assuming it's somewhat efficient from a fuel perspective, and assuming an airline could sell ~60 business class seats on each leg, I'm optimistic for them - cutting your trip time in half is certainly something to brag about.
For reference, as an example, a British Airways 787-9 used for transatlantic routes seats 8 first, 42 business, 39 premium economy, and 127 economy.
The Concorde was a thing of beauty. Massively expensive to produce and run, and fuel inefficient, it was a passenger airliner that could outrun fighter jets. Fighter jets of that era could get to mach 2 using afterburner, but that's especially fuel inefficient so they could only keep up for 15 minutes or so. The money that went into the program (which is estimated in the neighborhood of $10.3 billion) was later recouped in the form of expertise that went into building Airbus.
A lot of time has passed since 1965 when the Concorde was first produced, and the improvements in technology (especially for materials) since, will hopefully allow the economics to work out better this time around. But with the rise of lie-flat seats and personal entertainment systems, flying business class is "good enough" compared to the surcharge that flights on the Concorde cost, so I'm cautiously optimistic.
Taking 3 hours instead of 6 is better, but still not low enough. Add getting to/from the airport, and checking into the hotel and all that, you're still out the better part of the day.
The really pie-in-the-sky way to travel is if a certain reusable rocket company ran (exorbitantly expensive) passenger service. Moscow to New York in 30 mins, or Moscow to London in 15.
<=3 hour flight time kind of sucks, because you're spending additional 1-2 hours at the departure airport and at least 30 minutes at the arrival airport. Then there are the trips from and to airport which are often 1-2h. Then there's scheduling slack, which translates to additional ~20% wait time. When flight time is 3h, you're expecting to spend 7-12 hours. Usually closer to 12, because you'd rather wait longer than run the risk of missing one of the transports.
One of my great travel-related discoveries has been that if I can find a train that takes even about the same amount of time, it will always be much more pleasant and less energy-draining than air travel.
All so true. The actual flight time is a non issue for me given the hassle of the airport. But I’m guessing this is for higher end travel, where skipping lines is the norm.
I once had the opportunity to fly a business-only airplane. There was no line skipping. There was a whole dedicated terminal for these airplanes. As soon as you entered the terminal someone would welcome you like at some luxury resort. The passport and ticket thing was a breeze, then they would guide you to the lounge, if you were early. If you timed your trip accurately, I guess you could find yourself from the terminal door to sitting in your comfy seat within 15 minutes. Champagne glass on the tray in front of you, of course.
>I'm optimistic for them - cutting your trip time in half is certainly something to brag about.
I wonder how the economics works out. We know consumers are willing to give up a lot of things for cheaper tickets. And for that market it is now a volume business.
Business Expenses and trip could certainly paid for super fast airline. But this could cut out business trips revenue from normal operation, so it means flight price would have to go up to compensate for the loss of business class?
Although I am pretty sure they will sell well for as a private jet. Most super rich has way too much money and too little time.
I don't think it will cut much revenue from regular business class, rather, it will cut from "first class" (which is on its way out for most routes) and from last minute tickets.
Additionally, if you cut your trip time in half you double the number of trips you can take. This is why the metric is Available Seat Miles. In a way it's like making a plane with a capacity of 110-150 pax.
Leveraged index funds generally work as expected on an intraday basis - but they're not intended for longer term holds. You can of course try it, but things will not turn out as you'd hope. Here's an article describing what happens:
Outside of tracking error and expense fees, there is a more fundamental issue. When the market goes down X%, you need it to go back up Y = 1/(1-x)-1 to break even. So the market goes down 10.0% one day and then up 11.1% the next, an investor in the normal 1x is back to where they started. A 2x investor is still down and a 3x investor is down even more. So the average daily noise of the market kills you.
> So the market goes down 10.0% one day and then up 11.1% the next, an investor in the normal 1x is back to where they started. A 2x investor is still down and a 3x investor is down even more.
Can you explain why that is? I would have expected that your gain or loss from the leverage funds relates only to the difference in price between when you purchased and when you sold (multiplied by the leverage).
Because of the triple leverage, a 33.33% drop would entirely wipe out the fund. Back to $0.
A 33% drop in a single day has never happened (1987 Black Monday was 22%) but it definitely does happen if you consider a longer time frame.
Hence why it's reset daily, as the other two responses explain.
And in case it's not been made clear enough: it's the very opposite of a sound investment. It's very much a risk management / trading instrument. It's something you would trade as a hedge or leg of a complex trade; not something you want to hold by itself.
the leverage amounts typically "reset" daily (not always; read the prospectus) so if you lose 10% (say $100 => $80) at 2x your day 2 base is $80; a 10% gain that day would average out to 0 on net but you would gain 20% of $80 => $96
FYI, 1Password doesn’t force you to use their cloud service. Even if you subscribe (as opposed to standalone), you still don’t have to actually use it. I switched from an older standalone version to the current subscription version, but I’m not using their cloud service to sync my vault.
Can you point me to some documentation that describes how to get rid of the subscription cloud service? I just want a one time fee to purchase 1P and then I want to just iCloud sync my 1P vaults.
Purely out of curiosity - and you may not be able to, or may not want to answer - but how does a company like Stripe structure this sort of business? Are you making loans right out of your working capital, or do you have separate debt obligations of your own to cover these, or something else? I would imagine this sort of thing is regulated somehow, but I don’t really know... would love to hear whatever you can share!
Surprisingly, this is a totally unregulated industry on the federal level. Legally, they aren't loans; it's a purchase of future receivables. Google "merchant cash advance regulation" and have your mind blown.
California has light regulation in the form of disclosures similar to those for consumer credit. CA is also the only state that requires any licensing but the license is for the company, not for any of the brokers, and is super easy to obtain.
We’re working with banking partners to originate the loans. We’ll fund some of these loans ourselves, and we’ll also work with investors to help us extend even more capital.
Not always ;). As someone with experience managing mongo at scale, this really speaks volumes to the amount of effort needed to make it not do the wrong thing. And even then, there are unknown unknowns like this that can pop up at any time.
