    • LCH’s annual list of hedge fund perf has citadel at #1, estimating >16B in profit. This is the largest ever, by any fund. And it was in 2022 when most were red.
    • Google lays off ~12k. Big.
    • Duck is ~$20/lb.
    • Got a ticket for Meet the Breeds on sunday.
    • You can nest defaultdicts in python, of course.
    • Matt Levine posted about Elon today! What a shocker!
    • Opening vegas lines are chiefs -1.5 eagles -2.5. I’m picking niners bengals.
      • So far, I have gotten every wild card round and divisional round pick correct except vikings (9 out of 10).
      • And then niners over bengals in superbowl (simply cannot bet against).
      • So if the remaining 3 matches hit, I’ll be 12/13 for NFL postseason.
      • And if you count standard bracket points exponentially (1 for wild card winner correct, 2 for divisional winner correct, 4 for conf winner correct, 8 for superbowl winner correct), then that’s 13/14 points right now, and would be 29/30 points if niners beat bengals in superbowl.
    • Uninstalled the rainbow brackets extension, it’s built into vscode natively now.
    • Tilde version requirements: “3.8.*” is the same as “~3.8” – it will allow everything up to 3.9. (whereas “^3.1234514325.5412315” just means up to the next version of the leftmost nonzero digit, so anything up until major version 4).
    • Looked into making the supercontest leaderboard tables sortable. Using bootstrap 4, can do with datatables. Will just require a little bit of an upgrade. I’ll probably create another ticket for this.
    • SBSC. Created the alltime leaderboard: https://gitlab.com/bmahlstedt/supercontest/-/issues/170.
