Huge fan of Ava multilingual and hopefully there are many other others with similar taste, so my feedback might shape things towards a halfway decent direction at least for some.
btw, use case is most often to listen to news/articles.
Yes, for the time being the final report should probably come from us (but endless opportunity along the way to clarify thinking and understand industry standard terms).
Was I a sucker for believing that Kalshi was going to [e.g.] help farmers hedge against drought years or is the problem just morally bankrupt selection of events?
If they said that and you believed it kinda. There are already markets and insurance schemes to allow farmers to do that though through crop insurance, it's a very old and even government subsidized to keep the prices down in many countries. Farmers in need of that can already insure their crops to make $XXX amount of money to make sure they break even on the crop for the year for example there's no real need to bet on the amount of rain to reach that same goal.
Yep Kalshi is at best only shrinking the scale of things a farmer could bet on instead of getting proper old style crop insurance (either yield or revenue). It's just cloaking a weather slot machine in "we're helping farmers" language. Agri-washing their betting market if you will.
I came to the comments dissatisfied with the writing.
Or maybe more specifically the structure, idk not much of a writer, but many of the sentences are solid journalist quality yet the right background is not being set nor the right transitions being given etc.
My dissatisfaction mode used to be boring high school newspaper sentences but the kids still seem to _assemble_ the details a tiny bit better.
Age verification kind of disgusts me and your kid will probably be fine
Isis did manage to recruit young men in the UK via telegram (OK, you just said “in all likelihood“, maybe I’m tossing you the exception that proves the rule)
>I'm in so deep that Claude Code can predict the stock market.
“What?”, more polite than “yeah right” :)
(oh I guess obviously it would have a chance at nailing it for weeks in a row, and have more good years than bad—since actively managed funds can pull that off until, universally, they can’t [beat the market])
