How bootstrapped works
tldr - Percentile based confidence intervals based on bootstrap re-sampling with replacement.

---

MIT OCW 18.05 has this to say about the technique:

https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-05-introduction-t...

The bootstrap percentile method is appealing due to its simplicity. However it depends on the bootstrap distribution of mean(x') based on a particular sample being a good approximation to the true distribution of mean(x). Rice says of the percentile method, “Although this direct equation of quantiles of the bootstrap sampling distribution with confidence limits may seem initially appealing, it’s rationale is somewhat obscure.”

In short, don’t use it.

Use the empirical bootstrap instead (we have explained both in the hopes that you won’t confuse the empirical bootstrap for the percentile bootstrap).

> When the Roman Empire collapsed, technology took 1000 years to get back to what they had.

No, it didn't; overall, the cutting edge of technology continued to advance from the Roman period during the 1000 years after its fall (wherever in the typical 117 CE to 476 CE period you want to mark as the "fall"), even in the region where Rome had been dominant, although the distribution of some technologies and techniques suffered.
Minor point in case someone asks: he mentions "Werner’s granular meclosis". I think he might be thinking of a transient mention he heard once of Wegener's granulomatosis, but he's probably just making something up. Sort of like George Lucas might have been naming midichlorians after mitochondria, and misremembered the word, but it didn't really matter, and it's probably better this way in both cases.

https://www.dynadot.com/domain/grace_deletion.html has some info about it. I'm only familiar with Dynadot because I use them, but other providers that offer this should have similar information and times.

As these planets are most probably TIDALLY LOCKED, making it hard for LIFE to thrive.

> All seven of TRAPPIST-1's planets orbit much closer than Earth orbits the Sun. A year on the closest planet passes in only 1.5 Earth days, while the sixth planet's year passes in only 12.3 days

>Tidally locked planets likely have very large differences in temperature between their permanently lit day sides and their permanently dark night sides, which could produce very strong winds circling the planets, while making the best places for life close to the mild twilight regions between the two sides.

> Another important consideration is that red dwarf stars are subject to frequent, intense flares that are likely to have stripped away the atmospheres of any planets in such close orbits.

Is there any reason to accelerate to the half way point? Accelerating to .99c is much faster and would use much less fuel. It also wouldn't make the travel time much different, to the outside observers anyway.
Sure. But a setting that said "always on mobile" and another one where they schedule it for me based on my airline emails makes uptake faster.

The word planet comes from the ancient Greek word for "wanderer" which they used to refer to the wandering stars, the only stars that moved across the sky in relation the all other stars, only five of them visible, assigned to the gods and one goddess: Hermes, Aphrodite, Ares, Zeus and Cronus. Since then, the definition of the planet had to be modified as there are a lot of bodies orbiting the Sun known today. According to the latest precise definition, even Pluto isn't a planet anymore (but a dwarf planet).

In this light, I don't see the problem in making the difference between the planets (orbiting our Sun) and the exoplanets (orbiting other stars, see my other post here).

These guys however would like to remove the International
Astronomical Union's definition from 2006 and to introduce the new with which even the moons(!) of the planets would be called "planets":

https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/02/how-positively-peeve...

As the reporter cleverly summarized, their definition could be simpler stated as, "round objects in space that are smaller than stars." Then there would be around 110 such "planets" around the Sun, and the exoplanets would also be, of course, just "planets."

Their reasoning:

"In the mind of the public, the word
“planet” carries a significance lacking in other words
used to describe planetary bodies. In the decade following
the supposed “demotion” of Pluto by the International
Astronomical Union (IAU) [1], many members
of the public, in our experience, assume that alleged
“non-planets” cease to be interesting enough to
warrant scientific exploration, though the IAU did not
intend this consequence [1]. To wit: a common question
we receive is, “Why did you send New Horizons
to Pluto if it’s not a planet anymore?” To mitigate this
unfortunate perception, we propose a new definition of
planet, which has historical precedence [e.g., 2,3]. In
keeping with both sound scientific classification and
peoples’ intuition, we propose a geophysically-based
definition of “planet” that importantly emphasizes a
body’s intrinsic physical properties over its extrinsic
orbital properties."
>One of the principles of open source is meritocracy — the best idea wins, the most commits wins, the most passing tests wins, the best implementation wins, etc.

Talk to customers. Who is the customer? Talk to them. Ask them how they do it now. Ask them to describe how it would ideally work. Ask them how much they would be willing to pay, and tell them your question is not to bottom line them but to figure out how they perceive what it would be worth. Ask them if they are willing to commit to pay that if you are able to meet A, B and C minimum viable functionality. Ask them to put it in writing.

I think LinkedIn is good for information gathering, but you should ideally cold email people with an ask for 10 minutes on the phone and then schedule as many phone calls a day as you can. These are called discovery calls. Your goal is to discover what the priorities and needs of the business are in the area you intend to tackle to figure out if there is even a business there in the first place.

If those calls go well and a few people are willing to put in writing an intention to purchase it if you are able to deliver, build the A, B and C functionality as fast as possible and then call them back and ask them to pay for it. Assume half of those never actually intended to pay for it. Assume the other half will email you constantly complaining that you are missing D, E and F. Call a bunch of new people who you think might be customers and ask how critical D, E and F are.

If they are critical, ask those new customers if they would commit in writing to purchase such a solution. A few more will be willing to than before if you are on to something. Build D, E and F to appease the initial customers (they will be happy) and close the next customers. Carefully reflect on what the potential market is now that you have ABCDEF. Try as much as possible to sell that to new customers until you have a critical mass. At that point you should be nearing product/market fit.

Then ask yourself what you are best at? Try to use customer money to fund hiring everything that is not that thing. Continue to repeat this process through increasingly large and complex markets and layers of abstration below you in the organization heirarchy.

uhhhhh to anyone reading this: the above is a terrible idea
Yes, I have had similar experiences and it's very off-putting to have "jew haters" muddy the waters of open exchange of ideas. What I am left with is this though: if there's no evidence other than eye witness accounts and a confession from Hoess extracted under torture, then it's a matter of choosing what to believe in. And if I have a choice, why would I choose to believe something so horrifying? Especially after so many things that once were accepted as true are officially no longer so: It was supposed to be 4.5 million at Auschwitz and now around 1 million and finally the guy running Auschwitz admitted on camera that what is shown to tourists (the gas chambers) have been build after the war to what it likely was before, since the Germans converted the building into an air raid shelter. And that's only the tip of the iceberg. I know it's hard getting into this topic because of it's gruesome nature and the implication that not believing in the official Holocaust means that somehow that makes you a Nazi or a Nazi defender in the eye of the public.
Definitely not something any sane money manager would recommend.

I accept the risk. I could go to zero and crawl my way back pretty quickly.
I only skimmed the article but I didn't see the word "coordinate" mentioned.

When you say "coordinate-free" do you mean "independent of any fixed frame of reference"?

Because AIUI coordinate-free actually means something else, it's really just a mathematical detail: the choice to work with vectors as first-class objects rather than arrays of coordinates. It's a question of elegance rather that meaning.

Given the date of this article, the history of the Technocracy movement may be relevant to those who find these ideas appealing.

Is there any plan for the ability to discard previously used idempotency keys, so that a request with all the same parameters can actually be duplicated? Sometimes a payment will fail because a customer's card is declined (e.g. because of fraud detection or insufficient funds), and after the customer sorts it out, we'd like to try recharging their card, and not just receive the same error message. Our current workaround is to wait 24 hours for the idempotency key to expire, but it would be nice to be able to retry the request sooner without maintaining state on our side to generate a different idempotency key for the same payment.

I was similarly disappointed when I read this, but upon further reflection I still like this paper. It is very plausible that both of these problems could be fixed, it would just take a lot more time/power to train, and the resulting system would likely not run in real time making it impossible to test against real humans.

Further advancement in this area will require huge leaps in hardware performance. Luckily in the next few years I expect that the pace of improvement in specialized hardware for neural nets will far outpace Moore's Law.

Yes, that's true, it's entirely possible to host the start of authority (SOA) authoritative DNS for a domain on the same IP that is also an httpd or hosting a myriad of other services. But if that information was captured at least it would be known that was the configuration at the time the cert was issued.

edit: there are a number of shady black market things that use very short TTLs and "fast flux DNS" for phishing and scam traffic relay/proxy purposes. In the event that a large number of spurious domains were registered and part of a larger botnet, it's valuable data to know that fast flux is indeed in use, or rule it out.

I'm not a big fan of the percentile bootstrap, but that reference is a little too cavalier with material that deserves to be treated more rigorously. Chapter 8 of Wasserman's "All of Statistics" is much more careful about outlining the conditions under which the percentile bootstrap will work. Moreover, he works through a specific example that demonstrates that the percentile bootstrap does not generate results that are profoundly different from other methods.

That doesn't necessarily mean shorting a company just because it uses non-GAAP numbers is a good idea though.

That would be an interesting investing thesis to test. You are correct, non-GAAP numbers don't mean a company is hiding something, but it does make you ask why they felt the need to use non-standard accounting principles (the answer is it makes them look better).

Worth mentioning for simplicity's sake, a "subdomain" is a domain, same for a "top-level domain". The period marks simply add another level of terms to a namespace on its left-hand side, usually in an already existing domain's namespace. A domain can have any number of terms that someone wants; it only needs a reachable nameserver, which ultimately the root-level operator controls. To illustrate this, you used to be able to go to http://to/ with the help of any up-to-date ICANN DNS record keeper, but that record got deleted or something (though @to email would still work, as shown in your terminal with `dig to` vs `dig mx to` or `dig any to`).
