I also find it highly unlikely anyone is able to implement 130+ papers in 7 months.

This would require insane productivity, implausible access to pricing and news data resources (which are often not freely available) and expertise in machine learning, natural language processing, finance, and data science.
OP had to implement financial, time-series and linguistic feature engineering pipelines, as well infer the architecture and hyper-parameters used AND train all these models.

He also claims he "web scraped" all the data which is highly unlikely as pricing datasets are often sold for a pretty penny and not publicly available in the detail described in several of these papers.

OP must be a genius to pull this off, all the while being a trader at "a Tier 1 US bank" (in itself that description is ridiculous).

All OP has to show for all this work is a hastily written Reddit post with dubious claims. There is no proof of the work done whatsoever, no code samples, not even result tables or graphs.
And at the end OP chills his cryptotrading bot.

What's worse HN seems to gobble it up naively.
Seemingly because OP is critical of something that is popular to criticize.

Meh, I'm trying to decide if articles like this are just irrelevant or are actively bad.

The problem with this article is that it's describing the world as it should be and not as it is. What it's telling you is wrong.

In my experience, becoming "senior" has nothing to do with anything other than leverage. There is no internal logic, no objectivity, no consistency. There is no SAT of programming skill. There is no way to quantify that can't be gamed.

And even if there WERE an objective measure of programming skill, promotions have very little to do with skill. In my experience managers have a "goal ratio" in mind of senior/junior and try to keep the company at this ratio. They won't promote 3 people at once for example (yet no article ever says this?).
The whole article just seems like an attempt to steal money from uninformed people. He starts by giving vague information about trading strategies in general, then linking to an article about Renaissance Technologies as an example for successful algorithmic trading, then stating that most trading bots aren't successful and that the crucial differentiator for deciding whose bots to trust is the person's professional experience, which is obviously a reasonable thing to do, however the picture at the beginning of the article of him at a trading desk and him repeatedly mentioning his 7 year experience as a trader combined with the complete lack of any actual proof that his bots are actually profitable, make it seem as if he just tries to profit off his previous experience.

He ends the article writing this:

"All you’ll need to get started is:
1. $1000
2. To press a single button to get the bots started"

Furthermore in the reddit comments in response to the following question: "130 papers re-implemented in 7 months? I'm blown away. Write a software engineering book about how you did it so quickly. Then write a self-help book about having enough motivation to see it through." he writes:

"100-hour weeks and a desire for a better life for the ones you love will get you there pretty quickly"

This guy seems like a complete fraud, I find it sort of sad that this has landed on the frontpage of HN with that money upvotes.

Arguably that's not a startup (depending on the rate of growth) and so these "mistakes" are fine. Sitting stagnant at $2 million/month revenue (assuming you have <<$2 million/month costs) is a perfectly fine situation for a business, and is in many ways preferable to having growth prospects but no actual money. But if you don't have growth prospects then the ideas about burning through VC money to hockey-stick-curve your way into realising a huge valuation aren't applicable.

No, because I only have a limited amount of power in this regard. If I was HN the platform and I systematically silenced your comments simply on the basis that they were coming from you (and you were not rude and/or an obvious spammer), then I would be censoring you. While this is not necessarily anti-democratic since HN is not a government institution, it does get unsavoury rather quickly.

Interestingly, the American roots of free speech come from across the Atlantic. Milton's Areopagitica, J. S. Mill, and Voltaire all contributed to the American foundations on this topic. The Constitution was written in light of centuries of European powers using speech restrictions to punish dissent. After the revolution, Americans continued to be influenced by European thinkers, like Kafka and Sartre, or Émile Zola who was punished with criminal libel for exposing antisemitism. We followed with sadness and hope the emergence of samizdat, the attempt to share ideas under yet another authoritarian European regime.

These European thinkers have not always aligned with European policy. You cite Nazi Germany as the result of free speech, but it is an odd example. The Gestapo arrested people for things like "listening to the BBC" or "attending a party where someone made a stray remark about the course of the war."

I take your perspective as, "we must stop Nazis early before they come to power, and limiting public speech is an effective tool to do so."

You probably think of governments restricting speech more along the lines of Germany restricting holocaust denial, but Poland uses the same framework to restrict the acknowledgement of the Polish role during the holocaust.

The US perspective is just that inevitably you're going to get some bad governments, and they will use speech restrictions to suppress counter-speech that is necessary to bring things back to normal. And that driving speech underground isn't really an effective way to stop it.

The question for us is not, "is there some speech you would like to restrict?" But "would you like to allow your political opponents to control your speech?"

You're right that there's a difference in perspective. I know this debate can be frustrating from either side, it draws on intense conviction. But if you're passionate about it, it's worth understanding the roots of it, and knowing that Europe has not been monolithic on this issue.
Please fully read and understand the resource you linked

> Experienced smokers who drive on a set course show almost no functional impairment under the influence of marijuana, except when it is combined with alcohol.

And the conclusion that the lack of functional impairment is due to increased awareness of impairment is merely speculation and is not based on any empirical result.
Someone please explain this to me: You apply for a job, you accept the job, and you work to perform your duties as is expected of you. Options are a perk that some companies offer.

I believe the real reason why China is no longer the largest holder is that, China SPENDS tons of dollars she earns/holds on one-belt-one-road projects.

> Can we easily prove or disprove that property of interest?

Maybe we could answer that affordably, albeit with some probability, using fast probabilistic primality tests (I don't know how high they can practically go). But can we easily prove what the result of sorting a particular list with a 10^10^10 elements is? Maybe not, but I don't think it's as much a property of interest as "does this program ever crash." In other words, for every algorithm with some non-trivial complexity, the question of what the result would be for some very large input is hard to answer, but I don't think that is a common property of interest.

But if I get your meaning, you are correct that sometimes, if our focus is on an algorithm rather than on a working system, we forget that all systems can, at best, be shown correct only with some probability (because the hardware only does what it's told with probability), and at some point, there are algorithmic bugs that can occur in practice with a probability that's lower than that of a hardware glitch.

> How do you easily show that "forall m. bar m == True" is equivalent to Euclid's theorem?

By proving that bar is, indeed, a primality test, which is not hard. I.e. you prove that bar n = TRUE iff ∀ m ∈ ℕ . 1 < m < n ⇒ n % m ≠ 0. This is usually proven by induction.
Neat! Maybe out of place but is there something similar where a virtual machine is spun up rather than docker?
I'd wager that it would be easy to argue that the majority of people who work super extra hard to become rich and successful have some sort of childhood trauma that they never recovered from.

So maybe the answer is simply that intelligent people can figure out why they feel a yearning for success, and then solve the root issues instead of joining the rat race like everyone else.

As a practical example, some guys work super hard to buy expensive cars to impress the ladies. But if you're a great conversationalist with a witty humor, you can probably skip the car, so you don't have the need for working hard.
A lot of papers use data from a few sources which are typically available to universities. Also a surprising (maybe not?) scrape data themselves.

I have a running debate with one of my friends about the future outlook of these markets. We both agree that perfect replication of many physical collectibles (e.g. mtg cards, comic books) will become possible over the next few decades. My belief is that this will cause authentic values to decline. His belief is that this will cause authentic values - confirmed by certificates and the like - to skyrocket. I still prefer my position (and it’s fed into a growing sense of anti-materialism) but truthfully could foresee either outcome.
For me, the main advantage of tracing is dynamically instrumenting systems, including production, without significant overhead when instrumentation is not attached.

Absolutely. Aside from quite a bit of work travel which inevitably blurs the boundaries between personal time and work time (as does the fact that otherwise I mostly work from home), I generally keep work to work hours.

However, as you suggest, I also generally will do a bit of work here and there if something comes up and tend to checkin on email now and then at home. Conversely, I'll run out and do a few errands on weekdays if I need to pickup groceries, etc. I know a lot of people have trouble setting boundaries for various reasons (with faults on both employer and employee sides) but overall I find flexibility can be a better deal for everyone.

If the whole world reaches Mumbai's density (75k/sq mile), we would host 15 trillion people. Now, no matter what projections you hear from anyone, you never hear a peak population of more than 50 billion, so you are off by a factor of 300.

The idea of using a DSL to get around constraints in an upstream language you don't control is indeed a nice one, and one I've used before to a good degree.

I'm sure I'm going to get downvoted for this, but the use of Racket is a smell here. Why not use whatever language you were using before to turn the input DSL into the output OpenAPI spec? Sooner or later, another engineer is going to have to maintain that. You already have another language you're using for other things, and you're introducing an entirely new language and ecosystem to do one small thing. Is this something that couldn't be done in your existing stack?

Generally, this technique can work for adding any kind of pet tech to your work stack:

- identify an isolated, low-risk need.

- develop a solution in your tech (usually on your own time).

- introduce to your boss/company as already developed.

> Germany specifically has very high electricity prices, it’s a poor comparison to the rest of Europe even excluding France.

It's actually a great comparison, because Germany has put a lot of money into renewables, especially wind. Remember, we're comparing nuclear to renewables.

Earlier, you made the claim that renewables are so much cheaper than nuclear and that the only reason that nuclear is competitive is massive subsidies.

If that's true, Germany should at least be competitive. Which it would be, if you took out the taxes. The problem is, it's those taxes that pay for the renewables subsidies:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Renewable_Energy_Source...

> Frances electricity prices are 0.01 euro’s lower than Great Britten a comparable economy, but France is still higher than much of Europe.

"Much of Europe" is countries with far lower incomes and little to no taxes on electricity[1]. Among comparable countries, France is among the cheapest, despite not having any geological advantages.

Anyway, the point is not that nuclear is so much cheaper. It really isn't, coal is both cheaper and can support a grid just as well. In this sense, Germany got the worst of both worlds: Lots of toxic coal but also high prices.

> Wind production in a single country on it’s own is extremely variable.

Well yes, that's the issue.

> Low solar power and low wind power days are inversely correlated.

Perhaps, but solar also is far less viable economically.

> Further, variability decreases over larger geographic areas.

So does loss due to transmission.

> After doing that you can back fill with imports and hydro generation which is dispatch able over time.

Well, where do these imports come from? Germany is not exactly a small country, how big of an area do you need to have a stable supply of renewable energy?

Remember, your claim is that renewables are cheaper, yet they need all this infrastructure and an electrical grid spanning vast areas of different countries.

You haven't done the math, you haven't provided a source, so what actually supports this claim?

> Finally, on extremely unusual situations you ask some consumers to cut demand and finally use backup generators.
