Full autonomous is conflict with Tesla's business model: selling cars. I think Tesla's real goal is to build the easiest driving massive production car. Massive production means the car always need a person to baby sit. For full autonomous, they don't need massive production (>10M units) to build the service network.
I have noticed that as well. I have tried to optimize the scheduler and all but I could not get the performance up to a reasonable level. The worst part was that I could not figure out why.

Let me know how it goes! One of the cool things about Dash is that if you need to fallback on React code for building components, you can. Here are the docs on building your own components: https://plot.ly/dash/plugins.

Cool! I develop APIs using Flask so that's good news for me. I want to keep the API as lean as possible. I also try to cache everything I can or simply render stuff into static data if possible. I.e., some data are updated on a regular basis but do not change so rapidly and thus I can just use a Jinja2 template with some {% raw %} blocks to render my jinja2 templates with much less stuff to do, or even static html when I can.

Has anyone seen any returns for Numerai? They've been around for a while and I wish they would "put up or shut up" as the saying goes. I see that they have paid out money to developers but its not clear if the fund itself is generating alpha above their benchmark index or not.

One of my jobs is to review people who claim to have created algos that can generate alpha. Sadly it's very common for people to talk a big game about the returns they can generate, but then are unable to show any reliable track record when pressed.

Some of reasons I've heard:

- well we weren't actually trading, this is just all theoretical results

- well we didn't include the first 6 months of the year as we weren't profitable yet

- yes if you don't include theses particular trades we were profitable.

- yes we made money, its just that the market itself made more with less volatility.

I really would like Numerai to succeed, mostly because I'm interested in if the idea of mixing 1000's of models together and letting people vote on their weightings can succeed.

Thanks! I came here to ask the "How do I Erlang?" question. Erlang has been on my radar for a long time but I've never taken the time to dig in. 85% of my code output is obscure protocol stacks in Python+Twisted, the other 15% is real-time embedded C over an RTOS. Even if I can't use Erlang in production, I'm sure I'd find food for thought in the concepts.
Two things, I think.

First, I was a long time power user of Anki and don't mean to disparage it, but I think CleverDeck has a much better user experience and design.

Second, we've spent a tremendous amount of time putting together high quality frequency lists (mostly for languages right now) that incorporate professional imagery, native-speaker audio, transliterations (where relevant), and example sentences. Usually, making or piecing together your own decks and cards is the most time-consuming part of using an SRS - and user content is often of dubious quality.

In terms of the spaced repetition, though, CleverDeck and Anki actually use the same algorithm.

But every culture lives differently, some people see the world that isn't represented in Western society or technologies. Just by introducing our technologies and economy, we bend these people towards our ideals and history, we erase whole languages and people, leaving a shell of economic contributors. These nations may be able to contribute from time to time, but with new immigration policies forming, we will suck up the best and brightest, leaving societies totally reliant on the Western powers for technology and economy.

First of all, consumers get lower prices at Walmart, it doesn't just have the effect of higher profits.

Second, the real danger in both cases (though people only see it in one, hence my point) is that you're killing off the OEMs this way. No one wants to bring innovative new products to market if some monopsonist will just force them down to the mandated n% profits.

The rest of that comment in nonsensical. No one can know for sure the fate of either currency- the speculative component is too large.
First I've heard about Plaid and Quovo. These services seem to be targeted at a developer interested in developing products for others.

I really wish someone would come out with an API service targeted towards someone who would like to manage and query their portfolio of accounts with code. I have tried time and time again to use things like Mint or Quicken to have a consolidated view of my accounts, but invariably I find things that really suck about the service. I'd rather hack together a set of scripts and do it that way, but where to go for the actual access (aside from manually downloading .obx files).

Talking about average is again big problem. Because by average measure US GDP is growing, education/healthcare infrastructure is getting better. But the benefits of it are only accruing to top 10% or so.

I see in India income gains are only for top 5-10% of population but those beneficiaries have caused heavy air pollution, traffic woes with their cars, ACs etc. Excessive water shortages and increasing travel times and so on which has caused much more suffering to poor in comparison to benefits which were hogged by IT/ITES and other few sectors.

Also there is literally no mention of any performance tuning in the article, so it's a misleading title as well. This entire article is a thinly veiled attempt at advertising some emulation software that isn't even necessary for the goal they claim to achieve.

> The cheaper rates in NYC which are extremely high compared with the rest of the USA were because there was no $125 / 12 hour lease fee because there were no medallions.

As explained elsewhere in the thread, Uber does not and has not ever competed with medallion taxis for their main product (Uber X/Uber Black) in New York City. Uber's direct counterpart would be the for-hire cabs which are also regulated by the TLC, and are not required to have medallions.

Uber is already subject to the exact same requirements of the TLC that their predecessors were - Uber drivers in NYC have to have a valid TLC license. So there is literally no difference in supply-side regulatory cost there.
As mentioned before, C++ compatibility is not 100% yet. My comments are purely what works now; which by describing to D what is in a c/c++ .o file so you can link it in. In your .d file that describes the C/C++ you want to use, sometimes you will have to describe the template to D by creating D template of the C++ template.

Also if your "library" is all templates, it's not a library, it's a framework that uses other libraries. There still has to be at some point tangible code that is compiled to an object file to be linked. You will have to find all of the dependancies and make sure that they are also described in a .d file.

This might mean you have a bunch of work that you need to do in order use the c++ code you want to bring in into D. But then again, if it's a public/open source library, and you go down that rabbit hole and make it work, you just made D even better.

Forgot they used to do that. The receipt emails also fail to mention the time limit policy, causing many more people to miss their chance. For one-off handmade products, reviews are more important than most other marketplaces.

No more than easy contempt is an excuse for refusing honest and charitable engagement.

The argument isn't that the world, or the government, owes working-class people a living. The argument is that a government whose policies increasingly preclude the working class even a fair shot at earning a living is a government which fails its responsibility to those whom it rules - and, moreover, sows the seeds of its own downfall in so doing, which latter contention I should think no one with even a cursory grasp of history can find controversial.

To be honest, I like that this article tries to perform simple analyses, but find their rationale pretty confusing.

This kind of data is commonly modeled using item response theory (IRT). I suspect that even in data generated by a unidimensional IRT model (which they are arguing against), you might get the results they report, depending on the level of measurement error in the model.

Measurement error is the key here, but is not considered in the article. That + setting an unjustified margin of 20% around the average is very strange. An analogous situation would be criticizing a simple regression, by looking at how many points fall X units above/below the fitted line, without explaining your choice of X.
The "dream" scenario would be to leave training and mentoring to the actual companies. I understand a 5 person startup does not have the bandwidth to teach, but larger companies do yet most reject smart graduates because they don't happen to know Framework X.
Keep in mind that the Postgres hammer is a non-standard hammer.

Cool project,

You should make it open source (to grow your bank catalog by the community) with some premium Plan (to earn money of it)

Opensource + Premium is the way to go!
DynamoDB was a constant source of anxiety for me and my team. We fit the usage pattern perfectly, so the author's points didn't apply to us.

Our primary problem was having to constantly manage and change our provisioned capacity so that we could respond to usage spikes and keep our bill from becoming stratospheric. Worse, anytime we'd add new functionality -- such as nighttime analytics jobs that scanned the table or daily backups, it meant revisiting the parameters for our auto-scaling or risk getting throttled and having our application randomly start spewing errors.

DynamoDB's billing and provisioning model is awful to deal with. When your team is having serious conversations about the repercussions of your data values going from 4kb to 8kb, you very quickly begin questioning your decision to use DynamoDB in the first place.
Well, I never mentioned it to anyone until now ...

Do I think that education surrounding general health has diminished. I feel very strongly about this. There should not be as large of a chasm between my knowledge or ability to diagnose (i.e. is something serious enough to go to the doctor for) and the knowledge of a doctor/PA etc.

But yes, the average person deals with market economics every day and they're certainly smart enough to make decisions there.
