Serious question: How is this different from what google is doing?
pssst -- That's the demo
I would like to see this done for Chernobyl.
My impression is Universa is in effect, a product that aggregates intelligent short positions based on their assessment of tail risks, which other mainstream managers use as a hedging instrument. Their %3.5 management fee is a multiple of the 1:10 that other funds have been forced to take, and almost double the 2:20 model of pre-08 hedge funds.

Speculating, but the kind of fund I would imagine buys their product would be in the 5bn+ AUM range, who has broad exposure to a bunch of mark-to-unicorn venture backed startups in their book.

It'd be like %2 Universa, %60 index funds, and %20 buying sand hill dead dogs and F rounds as the price of admission for participation in their next fresh funds, %10 unicorn, %4 on something socially earnest and backed by someone politically connected for social climbing, a management fee, and spoilage. How close is that?

Universa being the tool that offsets the tide rolling out on those other bets.
"goroutines" is probably the only thing that golang has going for it. But today with async/await in languages like Rust and C#, C++ getting a coroutine implementation, and Java getting fibers, golang is no longer special in anyway in this domain, while it still carries the baggage of a non-expressive verbose language, and performing worse than the aforementioned.

Python has the textwrap[1] module in the standard library. Calling “textwrap.dedent()” on the docstring (multiline string) will strip white space to the least-indented line inside the text.

I’m personally a fan of having an easily-accessible method to call. That way you get indented text blocks and no “magic” formatting (at least, you explicitly opt-in to the magic formatting).

Well, they're expats. Maybe it's just an Anglican term? It's literally short for expatriate.

It hasn't really, at least not in production. Academics are now publishing a lot of papers using Deep Learning or RL, but you won't usually see those in live systems.

In live systems, latency is usually more important than a "better" model - A model that takes milliseconds to make slightly better predictions is too slow when you're working on nano- to microsecond scales, often on specialized hardware. Really, the "AI" part is less important in HFT than you may think. It's often more system/infrastructure.

This is for HFT specifically, perhaps it has had more impact on longer time horizons, or something like portfolio management. My impression is (but I may be wrong) that there aren't that many people doing something in between HFT and much longer (minutes to days) time horizons, something like milliseconds to seconds. Maybe there is an opportunity there for some of the newer AI techniques.
A little too practical - my man literally put out like an 8 minute long squarespace ad a few weeks ago. And he's been doing the Raid: Shadow Legends ad shit now as well.

I'm all for getting paid, but man, at least put out ads relevant to your content.
> The French government is slowly bringing its lockdown to a close from May 11, with cyclists allowed back onto the roads for the first time since March.

To clarify, this is somewhat inaccurate: biking is permitted, and has always been permitted, during the French lockdown, as a judgment (in French) recently confirmed: https://www.conseil-etat.fr/actualites/actualites/le-gouvern....

Cyclists were just subject to the same restrictions as anyone else -- these restrictions were the same no matter the transportation means.

And yes, these measures should change by May 11, but the details are not confirmed yet.
SEEKING WORK | EU -English,Dutch,German,Spanish | Remote only

Senior systems administrator and software/network architect.

Looking for back-end clojure/(java) maintenance and development, specifically, reducing cloud footprints by e.g. migrating parts to open-source equivalents or even bare-metal postgres.

The cloud is a great way to start deploying quickly, but it can imply "buying off" some technical debt. With runways no doubt significantly shortened these days, this might be a good time to have that technical debt dealt with (and save good money on the side).

- Rates: 14 Euro/hour (yes, really)

- unix/linux or cloud only

- small teams or startups strongly preferred

- no advertising, sorry

Feel free to contact me, even if you're unsure if moving away from the cloud is the right thing for you. My email is in my profile.
They will inflate the number by just citing their revenue similar to pyramid schemers. You can write a bot that will generate lots of revenue, and any idiot can generate lots of revenue with dropshipping. The trouble is risk and the cost involved in turning a profit from such a business.

I am confident that any 10 year old could sell $100k+ per month online with about a week of training if that was the only requirement and they were allowed to spend $120k. Actually earning significant profits is the difficulty here, and that only gets easier with the standard toolkit of running a successful online retail business: understanding the products, knowing the market, and understanding all the legal hurdles.

One thing that is ignored by the punditocracy is that a laptop has a lot of other silicon beyond the CPU.* Apple would have to have all the support chipset as well. Internal connections like memory controller etc they already have from iPhone/iPad, but Intel provides support for peripheral access. This works for the iPad, but note that the iPad Pro doesn't have laptop-class USB-C support much to the annoyance of some people. A laptop would have to, and probably would need USB4/TB4 (since if you're designing your own you might as well go straight there -- classic Apple move) which would need all the PCIe, DP etc plumbing they are currently getting from Intel.

Certainly doable, but there's a lot more boring spadework needed beyond the sexy CPU.

* This is why I always laughed when I saw articles comparing laptops by CPU clock speed rather than actual performance.

> One change would cause another issue, or regress a bug.

> made a chart of every path and pattern of events

> It never had to be addressed again

Am I reading you correctly--every possible issue was knowable and preventable with enough prior thought?
Linux is a really bad operating system to use in this application. To do gas delivery safely and reliably you need to be using a Real-Time Operating System like QNX, VXWorks, OpenRTOS, etc..
A hidden comment makes a good distinction:

> Think the difference is that an expat makes his wealth from outside that country he migrated to and Immigrant makes money from the country they migrated to.

None of this stuff is an official definition, but this seems to be how most people essentially mean the term, or rather what happens to be true when they use it.

I'm basically a permanent traveler. I might spend years at one location working remotely. Calling myself an immigrant really seems to lack some important distinctions that explain my situation compared to a visa worker.

Even when I'm technically an immigrant and an expat is just an expatriate, there's more nuance to how we use the terms. And to me it comes down to power: when my fun is over, I just buy a ticket home.
I know enough people who don't ride their bikes because of some simple repair job they never get around to doing, often because they're mildly intimidated by it, and it's one of those jobs you can always put off until tomorrow. Money usually isn't the issue. Often it's the most trivial of obstacles that stand between people and their proclivity to adopt a particular habit.

Do most people really need $50 for bike maintenance? I think I've spent about $15 on my beater bike over the last couple years, just to buy a new tube and maybe some wd40. For the vast majority of people I would imagine that they don't maintain their bike at all, modern bikes hold together pretty well.
Regarding being 'unwilling to face the music', is it possible that you were only able to perform this refactor due to all the 'thrashing' that came before you? Is it possible that the majority of commits leading up to your refactor were dealing with unforeseen complexities and addressing real bug fixes that you were able to conveniently take in and synthesize all at once?

Refactoring too soon, before understanding the entire system (and all the possible changes/additions/issues that could arise) is probably worse (time-wise) than thrashing for a bit.
We're actually building something fairly simple in Smartsheet, which has Gantt, table, and kanban views that can all be filtered. It's slightly more sophisticated than just tags, but our business model requires Gantt integration, unfortunately.
zero percent
Especially if they are buying puts on a regular basis and then cherry picking one particular period that paid off well.

It's like randomly picking a penny stock each year and then suddenly it's up 3600%. That's not some investing magic, it's just you doing the same thing and suddenly being right.

The point is that courts can't prove anything based on the information they get from the network.

This is in contrast to e.g. bittorrent where every seeder is in direct violation and provably so.
Closer to zero, it's an open architecture something the king of walled gardens wouldn't touch from a mile away. ;=)

Jokes aside the real reason why it's extremely unlikely is that they put a lot of money into ARM and they simply have no reason to switch to it. For this to happen ARM would need to do something like massively increase the price of their IP licenses, or simila. Which won't happen.
SteamVR has ended OSX support
This is a very bizarre headline.
The number of young people that are healthy (no pre-existing conditions like being overweight, diabetes or high blood pressure) that that experience what you describe is extremely rare.
Many of the technical innovations from Intel over the past 5-10 years have been rolled back due to security or regression issues. TSX, SMT, AVX-512 just to name a few.
"But there are clear and compelling arguments that vaccines aren't safe,"

No there are not.

Overall, they are exceptionally safe. When you combine the fact they are reducing potential disease as well and then compound that because of the externalization of the viral spread of such diseases (one infection creates multiple more) then they are exceedingly safe.

And where there are 'issues', they are not in the range of the ridiculous conspiracy theories thrown about.

The anti-vaxxers, especially celebrities, are a serious threat to public health.
Read. When I a actively reading books (not the Internet, but actual books - fiction or nonfiction, doesn’t seem to make much a differenct) I can notice my vocabulary expanding. When I fall out of the habit, it atrophies.
I'd really like a better understanding about what these active long volatility funds do. It seems a lot more involved than just buying rolling out of the money puts, which sounds like it would be an expensive/inefficient insurance. Another fund example is Artemis Capital which have a number of papers I've read over the past month. [1]

The article hits on this a lot, and if you look up the main subject (Mike Vestil) on Google, some of the first hits you'll see are videos from him like "TURNING $2 INTO $500000!" Ironically, even Mike himself in the article says that he hates that part of the dropship culture.

But if you really want to see how prevalent it is, take a look at r/dropshipping. There's tons of posts trying to sell courses, or Shopify themes, or a new commerce platform, etc. There's an entire "get rich quick" industry that's aimed at targeting other "get rich quick" dropshippers.
If all that mattered were the bits, then wouldn’t it be sufficient to just re-encode a video? All the bits are different now...

It seems to me that changing the bits only helps to avoid detection. Not to avoid the legal issues.
People are focused on the relatively small amount here, and that's valid, but I suspect that some of the incentive here is to keep momentum in cycling going (from people avoiding transit, enjoying temporary bike infra, etc.) and trying not to lose that progress. There might be a lot of people for whom that €50 means a tuneup that gets them to take the bike out when before it would've just rusted.

I mean, data would be nice, but that's the hope (I'm guessing)
I never saw the film as a kid, but if I had, I'd have been super excited to see that Stacey Sutton had the same computer I did!

My grandfather, an old-school mechanical engineer, didn't know the first thing about computers or electronics - but he saw the possibility of something new and significant on the horizon, and when by chance at an early age I showed that I might have a propensity for this strange new kind of machine, he saw to it I'd have the opportunity to develop whatever talent in that line I might have.

I'm currently in the sixteenth year of an undistinguished but nonetheless solid career in software engineering, so that seems to have worked out well for the both of us. I could only wish he'd lived to see and take joy in the result, but I don't doubt that, wherever he is, he's smiling.
The US used to have a similar program, created during the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and subsequently removed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2018.

Maybe it will come back as part of a new stimulus in 2020?
Good list, the QR algorithm is particularly beautiful I think.
What are "diversity links" ?
That's beside the point.

If you have a bike and puncture a tyre, you do not wait for the state to give you money before you repair it. France is one of the world's richest countries so I'm thinking that the French were not saving up to change their bikes' tyres...

They've been given free money to spend on bikes, so they will spend it on bikes (repairs or not, let's be honest, because it's ridiculous to think that the French are in desperate need of bike repairs). This is just a subsidy for bike shops and bike accessories companies and it allows to spin how green the government is.
> With 95% infected not showing any symptoms

Got a source for that? I believe I've read it's somewhere closer to 50%.
But note that this is not true at a regional level - many US states, for example, have official coronavirus deaths higher than the excess death.
I think we're coming at things from sufficiently different angles that it's not really necessary to merge our projects, other than perhaps some common parts that could benefit from that kind of sharing. Enigma is really a faithful reimplementation of the VM in Rust; while Lumen is an ahead-of-time compiler, which requires a very different approach.

I think the goal of Enigma in making the BEAM architecture easier to understand, and providing a great learning platform for getting involved in working on the BEAM itself, or just on Enigma as an alternative is a great idea, and something I know I wish I had been able to have on hand when I was trying to understand the deep inner workings of the BEAM implementation. I if Enigma was only ever that, it would still be worth the effort spent on it.

Lumen does have parts that could likely be shared with projects like Enigma - namely the high-level IR we use in the frontend (EIR, Erlang Intermediate Representation). That IR could be used in any Rust-based VM/compiler targeting Erlang, or an Erlang-derived language, and work there would directly benefit downstream consumers of the IR in terms of better optimization, etc. We've also put work into our term representation, and various parts of the runtime, like reproducing the core parts of the BEAM garbage collector, etc. While some of those things are intertwined with the compiler, much of it could be easily extracted and used elsewhere.
Taleb and Spitznagel have been investing based on this philosophy since 1999. The huge gains Taleb made in the 2007-2008 crisis are what made him famous and forced people to take his ideas seariously.

They can only report results on the period of time they've been in business, but so far their strategy seems to have held up for about 15-20 years.

They seem to know what they're doing, and given the stakes, have likely thought about any pitfalls you or I could imagine, along with many others we couldn't imagine.

You are infectious about 1-2 days before the onset of symptoms. Actually, at the onset of symptoms many are already getting less infectious.

That’s why this one’s hard to catch up with. You need to be very quick when contact tracing.

So, yeah, absolutely, you should quarantine after contact with a known infected person, no matter whether you have symptoms or not.
Thanks for writing this. All of the stuff about urbit being a cult or a scam that comes up every time it's discussed here seems orthogonal to what actual urbit enthusiasts care about, which is just that it performs a use case we actually want. All I want is the "you can share a file with someone you know without dealing with a social media corporation or being a part-time sysadmin" part.
"Rebel botanists". Two words that put together make you wonder...

This is like "controversial paleontologist" (Robert Bakker, perhaps?) or "favorite mathematician" or "famous historian". Adjectives that just don't seem to belong with their object.
