"The faster the price discovery, the shorter the validity time. This means a more accurate price."

A continuous market price is an illusion; let's not forget that. Every market is made up of trades, which are discrete, and every price has an unstated amount of uncertainty, which may be large by any standards. You can't know from first principles whether a change in quoted price is even a change in the market, because it could be within the +/- range that's implicit. Apple is quoted to the nearest penny, at least, but the idea that the current price is accurate to within 0.004% is ridiculous.

Edit:

"Fischer Black famously defined an efficient market as “one in which price is within a factor of 2 of value, i.e., the price is more than half of value and less than twice value,”

...I hadn't heard this before Matt Levine mentioned it, but I was like "yeah, obviously, why haven't most people gotten the message?"

But:
"BNP Paribas...said [Saudi] Aramco was worth exactly $1.424394 trillion."

I wonder which particular millisecond that held for.

Edit Edit:
The market has a whole (mostly) unseen dimension other than uncertainty, which is depth. You can only buy or sell so many shares at the instantaneous market price. Further away, there may be orders, but the price of the whole company is going to be way outside of that. The shorter the timescale, the shallower the "market" so you can't just say we're making progress by doing things faster. It's like when research lasers are said to make unbelievable power, but it's like for a femtosecond or something. Liquidity, in my mind, requires depth, just as with water.

Also if you root your Android phone, wireshark their app, trace the traffic, and check the Manifest you'll see they are sending user's personal identifiers (non-resettable hardware IDs) to servers in China. There's absolutely no way why uploading this data (or reading it in the first place) would be in any way necessary to provide the app's functionality.

And they dump/read files in shared storage spaces to cross-tracking with other Chinese apps. If you try to install it into Secure Folder on Samsung it gets disabled.

Does Software Understand Complexity? (2018)
Scott Alexander wrote a great piece about counter-signaling; for instance, when expensive clothes become too accessible to the middle class, the wealthy can swerve by wearing cheap clothes as a counter-signal: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/9kcTNWopvXFncXgPy/intellectu...

Signaling comes in many forms, and not all of it is bad; arguably, signaling eco-consciousness with a Prius or a Tesla can be a net win, even if it's just a proxy for socioeconomics. Rather, I would posit that extremes of Veblen goods (where cost and/or effort are abnormally high and positive social externalities are low) are more akin to market failure, or the Dutch tulip craze.

I own a braille display and use the 93-volume trigonometry textbook from high school and the logic around it with respect to making sure the right chapter was in the classroom with me as an analogy when explaining CPU caches to people. In the long run I discovered that incredibly fast speech rates scale better than braille for most tasks outside educational settings, but if it works for you, by all means use it. And before someone inevitably makes the "but braille is important for literacy and brain development" point: it is, and I advocate learning it.

However, putting the burden on site developers to support text-based browsers for this use case is O(sites) but putting it on the screen reader developers is O(1). In other words only the latter scales. Braille isn't a very good argument for site authors supporting text-based browsers from any practical perspective, and in all honesty I think most of them would find this off-putting. It's already hard enough to get people to do accessibility; if we make the bar as high as that and go around claiming that it's necessary for accessibility, no one will ever bother.
GPL has had decades of reasoned consideration, and v3 in particular is one of that few holdouts in an era of tivoization that puts the user in a prison. It is inevitably the users who suffer, and in greater numbers. Tivoization is fatal in the sense of freedom of the user, which is the most important freedom in many peoples eyes.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. BSD is about freedom for the devs. GPL is about freedom for the user. Not all users are devs, but all devs are users, and users should take precedence. Proprietary doesn't give a crap about either, and its defenders are the ones most closely resembling religious zealotry... as in false in almost every way but clung to mostly because it benefits it's pushers.

I like to solve problems at work with openly available tools. I will often file patches or add comments to tickets or StackOverflow so that when I am at a new place all of that information is still documented somewhere I can get at it.

In house tools are a siren's call. And the fact of the matter is that if you wrote a tool because you had a need for it before anyone else did, that eventually others will want it too, and there will absolutely come a day when their version eclipses yours. You have to have a way to run your systems without tying them that tightly to a specific tool. And you have to accept that the 4 years of utility you got out of that tool was money well spent and you can retire it now with a clean conscience.

So you're defining "AI" to be anything that we can currently program a computer to do, and "I" to be anything we can't yet? That doesn't seem like a useful distinction to me. Unless you're using "I" to mean general (artificial) intelligence, in which case you should probably use the more well-known term.

We obviously can have liquidity on in-between timescales, because we had it before modern HFT trading, right?

The average person may be overly paranoid about HFT, but it doesn't make sense to say they benefit from it, because they are not going to be in a position where they benefit from an execution in a fraction of a second.

Price improvement of fractions of a penny has gotten silly too. It's easy to think of it as more significant than it is, until you figure it as a percentage (or the spread for that matter).

I tried out Ubuntu the other day and couldn't figure out how to make a text file from the GUI. I googled it and it looks like you have to create an empty file in the templates folder in order to get that option when you right click.

Which website can I reverse engineer for you?
I'm creating a series of articles that reverse engineer your favorite websites. With a focus on fundamentals like messaging, sales copy, how they demonstrate the value of their product and build trust.

The goal is to make it easier for you to see their underlying persuasion principles, so you don't have to copy their copy.

Who would you like me to reverse engineer? It could be a leading competitor. Or a site that never fails to inspire you. There should be little doubt about their success.

Let me know, I'll pick half a dozen and publish them over the next few weeks.

It doesn't have to be like Kanye's album at that point in time to be a paradigm shift, though. If 1 artist didn't get big or some genre blow up then it would have just been filled by an infinite amount of others that we never heard. Even considering a single artist hitting it big there are how many that are never heard of? An AI could produce an equal number of artists and only has to win once every month/year/etc. I think this is similar to the million monkeys at a typewriter thing.

I'm not super on board with that disclaimer, as I think it weakens the argument that widely reselling PII is a socially unacceptable action. There are some rational reasons to resell PII to a different party (usually inter-subsidiary data sharing) but I am absolutely on board with reinforcing the liability.

Maybe the law needs to be shifted to a point where if a company collects some PII information from a user and that information is found in a breach then it is incumbent on the company to prove they were not the source of the breach to avoid being legally exposed.

I think it'd be nice if we all started viewing PII as dangerous, companies could invest the risk in collecting data on users, but it should be the default that companies try and avoid collecting as much data as possible.
Depends on which null hypothesis you're testing. He told us that he rarely had a down day, and based on Bitcoin's volatility I'd say it's reasonable to assume the probability of it going up or down on any given day is a coin toss (regardless of the longer-term trend and independent of other days). Thus the probability that he's a day-trading monkey is 0.5^n, where n is the number of up days he had in a row. (since he had a few down days it's actually a binomial coefficient but the value is < 1e-80 anyway, far less than a conventional p-value of 0.05)

On the other hand, if we wanted to test his 3900% yearly return, we might assume that monkey returns are equal in distribution to Bitcoin's price and then test the hypothesis that he's a monkey via something like a paired t-test. The problem here is that we only have one data point so p-value is undefined, and due to high variance it would probably take about n=10 points to get something significant. The upside of this approach is that you can get a confidence interval for how much better he is than a monkey, instead of just a yes/no answer.

In any case, since the author has at least 365 data points, he probably has an extremely good idea of both a) whether he's a monkey, and b) how much better he is than a monkey.

What we call procrastination might not be a bad thing. It makes you relax and gain energy for a task. I did however have to quit Facebook... With HN I get energized and inspired, while Facebook was just a time killer, and often made me feel bad about myself. I do however feel bad when I get downvoted - sometimes when I think my comment was the most constructive comment on the topic. I think instead of downvoting arrow there should be a select list with several options like "I don't agree", "this is spam", "you are trolling", etc, in order to give some feedback both for the poster but also for fine-tuning HN algorithms and polices. Upvoting should also be a select box with options like "I agree", "helpful", "interesting", "save for later", etc.

Despite this, I find it quite difficult to say that Valve values profits and nothing else. Why? Values are not binary, and they are not applied equally in all situations. And like any company, they’ve made their share of bad moves. Yet a profit-first Valve would be far different than the company we see today.

Still, I’m sorry to hear of that situation.

Not really. The real-world value of Google (or any other company) doesn't change meaningfully on a millisecond basis.
Sadly the screen readers do actually do a not-so-good job of this, but I think that may in practice be more a function of poor UI for switching indicators on and off. You get 80 cells at most, and even the most conservatively unambiguous abbreviations for controls are going to use 2-3 letters of that. Hit a line with a few links and half your display is gone. I'm not enough of a braille user to know how to go about fixing this for sure, but there is definitely an inefficiency. Ending up in a "but my favorite text-based browser is more efficient" position because it turns a bunch of this off, or because it's configurable in a way your favorite screen reader isn't, or etc is something I can see happening, but nonetheless the real issue there is that screen readers need to be fixed, not that we should go ask all the sighted people to support Lynx.

NVDA's flow for deciding which formatting you care about is to tab through a list of 30 checkboxes. They have hotkeys when the dialog is open but it's still less than ideal if, as I suspect, braille users need to change them more often. And there is also a potential education problem around teaching braille users that the way they get more efficiency is to change them around all the time.

My solution in the world of infinite resources would be to make the cells 5 or 6 dots high so that you can put the formatting in line with the characters it's for. That's something I thought would be useful for a long time. But sadly we live in the world where good braille displays will forever be expensive and thus doubling the price isn't doable.
