Investors get real-time view of UK bond market activity for the first time

Investors get real-time view of UK bond market activity for the first time

๐Ÿ’ฅ Explore this trending post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ“Œ **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Until now, data on bond trades was scattered across multiple sources, making it difficult to get a clear and complete picture of market activity. The new service brings it all together in one place.The launch builds on changes to the UK's bond market transparency rules that came into force in December 2025. Those changes have already made a real difference. The share of corporate bond trades reported in real time rose from under 5% to over 75%, and for government bonds from around 30% to…

GLM-5.2 vs Claude Opus | Tech Stackups

๐Ÿš€ Explore this must-read post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: โœ… **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: GLM-5.2 just came out, and it's another step forward for what open models can do. The internet promptly freaked out, and it's hard to tell what's real and what's hype. So we ran it head-to-head against Claude Opus 4.8: same one-shot prompt, build a 3D platformer in raw WebGL from scratch. Here's our take after running the test and digging through the benchmarks and the buzz. We're not switching our main off Opus. In our test Opus was faster and shipped a cleaner, more correct…

Codex SQLite feedback logs can write ~640 TB/year and rapidly consume SSD endurance ยท Issue #28224 ยท openai/codex ยท GitHub

๐Ÿ’ฅ Check out this trending post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Issue Codex is continuously writing a large amount of data to the local SQLite feedback log database: ~/.codex/logs_2.sqlite ~/.codex/logs_2.sqlite-wal ~/.codex/logs_2.sqlite-shm On my machine, after about 21 days of uptime, the main SSD has written about 37 TB. Process/file-level checks show Codex SQLite logs are the main continuous writer. That extrapolates to roughly 640 TB/year. On a 1 TB SSD, that is about 640 full-drive writes per year. Some consumer SSDs are rated around 600 TBW, so this could consume roughly a full drive's warranted…

The output is a redistributable binary that bundles your code, the Deno runtime, and a web rendering engine into one bundle per platform. Coming in Deno 2.9 deno desktop ships in Deno v2.9.0 and is not in a stable release yet. To try it now, run deno upgrade canary to install the canary build. The command, configuration keys, and TypeScript APIs may still change…

Fine Tuning a Local LLM to Categorize Questions

๐Ÿš€ Discover this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: โœ… **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: As a fun personal project, I have been working on a chatbot for answering general questions about my household on anything from maintenance questions to doctorโ€™s appointments. The general idea is that the chatbot will get its household knowledge through RAG from querying a vector database, but for better results I have made the vector searches metadata aware. Basically, I am running questions through a pre-processing step to categorize questions into known metadata categories (e.g. pool, car, hvac, cooking). The main goal…

The Curious Case of the Commodore Phones: A Canadian-Only Tech Oddity In the early days of home computing, the VICModem was Commodoreโ€™s answer to getting users online.

To get around strict telecom regulations and technical limitations, Commodore did something unique: they bundled the modem with a rotary dial telephone made by Northern Telecomโ€”specially branded and only ever sold in Canada. Hereโ€™s the strange-but-true story behind one of the rarest pieces of Commodore…

The doom justifies the valuation

๐Ÿ”ฅ Read this must-read post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Iโ€™ve been in Berkeley for the last 2 weeks. I havenโ€™t really been back here for a while, and itโ€™s worse than you can believe. This is a cult of atheistic hedonists needing AI doom to be true to justify their life choices. Or acceleration. Or something. They need to make impact. I mean, narcissism of small differences to an extent, but I stopped long before these people did. If San Francisco was nuked tomorrow, the world would feel a weight off their shoulders. ๅ†…ๅท…
