Stock market hits all-time high as Dow closes above 50,000
The U.S. stock market ended a bumpy week with a bang,
as the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 50,000 for the first time.

The Dow crossed the threshold
— an important psychological barrier
— earlier Friday before retreating
and then surging again to close at 50,115.67.

That was a jump of 2.47 percent, more than 1,200 points for the day.

The rally extended to the S&P 500 and the …

Tech jobs are highly cyclical and lots of the gen AI stuff is ridiculously overhyped, and I’m hopeful that the wheel will keep turning and the professional prospects of software developers will improve again…assuming human civilization survives, that is.
But what I said above applies regardless. We should all be doing this meaning-making work all the time, even in the best job markets. In fact, that work is a part of •making• human civilization survive.

After hitting $115 this night, the oil price is now at $103 per barrel, up from around $65 before the US-Israeli attack on Iran.
Big impact on the world economy, and hopefully on the energy transition too.

Expected to be usually ~0.5/50%. How does one calculate the probability for a given length n that it's above or below a certain value, i.e. <=40% or >=60%?

What the company had to say - #Starlink satellite incident: "On Sunday, March 29, Starlink satellite 34343 experienced an anomaly on-orbit, resulting in loss of communications with the satellite at ~560 km above Earth.
Latest analysis shows the event poses no new risk to the @Space_Station, its crew, or to the upcoming launch of NASA’s Artemis II mission. We will continue to monitor the satellite along with any trackable debris and coordinate with @NASA and the @USSpaceForce.
The event also posed no new risk to this morning’s Transporter-16 mission, which was designed to avoid Starlink with payload deploys well above or well below the constellation. The SpaceX and Starlink teams are actively working to determine root cause and will rapidly implement any necessary corrective actions."

My solution is so simple, neat, and tidy…

#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #Photography

View a large rock tower behind another lower mountain peak near a pass with a small chapel (good for appreciating the scale). The mountain nearest to the pass has visible tunnel openings at its base above the talus fields. These are remnants of the frontline from world war I. Massive cumulus clouds are forming in the background, above them clear blue sky. The entire scene is bathed in warm late afternoon light of October. All the grass patches have turned into a rich coffee brown.

#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

Photo of a dramatic cloud forming from the dense rising fog near the steep slopes of the Zugspitze (its summit visible in a gap between the clouds). The cloud is illuminated by pink/orange pastel early morning light. A massive single red-white mast for a cable car is towering above the forest in the foreground, some nearby trees also catching the light of the rising sun. In the background, glimpses of talus fields through the clouds.
