I don't think the finance field needs a better bloomberg, I think the whole interface and everything needs to be rethought. Part of the moat is the data, and data access. But I think we need to completely reimagine the terminal interface and interactions with the introduction of AI. The finance industry probably will be slow to adapt, but I genuinely think someone could completely disrupt 99% of the wall street busin…

A large amount of the value is that you aren't allowed in.

I really wish people would mention their stack when they have these curl install scripts. I'd rather use a real package manager, but I'm not totally against installing a compiled binary this way. I am, 100%, not going to install some Java/Type-script nightmare like this though. How is it resolving the dependencies? Is it installing some version of node, bun... on my machine? How's that working with other versions I h…

I really wish this was not the top comment on HN. It’s a cool project! Maybe try it??! Or just be silent!

You can have any opinion, so long as it’s mine.

Yeah... people aren't paying Bloomberg $31,980 per year for a TUI. They're paying for the data source... and I don't think you have Bloomberg's connections.

> They're paying for the data source Yup. If you want fixed-income data, Bloomberg is the only shop on the street data-wise. If you want other financial data, Bloomberg's fixed entry-point pricing tends to make more sense in terms of bang for buck than its competitors modular price sheets. People saying Bloomberg is just about the chat are simply embarrassing themselves. Look at the price sheets of Eikon, Factset, Ca…

Bloomberg is also a channel for other data providers. You can access your gas pipeline flow data and index prices, which you buy from SP Global, via Bloomberg, for example. It brings data sources into one place.

> What do you mean? It's linked on the Github repo...I think a site that doesn't work properly is a bad one. That's just my opinion. I mean isn't this the point of open source? You can fork the repo and fix the problem instead of complaining?

You can still give constructive criticism of an open source project though, right?

I find it a bit less funny. There is this perception that what finance people do is super important and grown up but following a brief stint in the industry I realised it literally is just a game. We used to trade bits of stationery and trading cards for fun at school. They never stopped. The only difference is people who never consented to any of this are paying for it all, especially when it all goes wrong.

Why would a trader need your consent to make a trade with somebody else?

often they're trading things with externalities

Any "TUI" you've seen in the past few years is 100% vide-coded slop.

Curious what you consider those that aren't 100% 'slop', aside from the common ones. Because I'm starting to see the word 'slop' as a synonym for: "This person may or may not have used AI to build software and I don't like it"

Slop is slop when the author could not have done it without the AI.
