Lol this.. I once build a model (btc) that assumes this "we can't know the direction of market so we might as well guess", after spending months reading papers and trying to be "clever"

It starts off picking a random market direction (up/down) places bid (sorry I mean makes a trade). Then based on lots of tuning/backtest decided how long to be in position and what is the stoploss.. Think in the end the most "profitable settings" where something like :

$proft_size = 0.38%
$stop_loss_size = 0.35%

Win-Continue-Direction = 3 rounds (after winning/losing do we change direction)
So it probably in the end was Markov-model with random-start - if we had to label it :)

Oh and for fun it would also "martingale for x rounds" :P

Worked quite well for 3-4 days and was fun implementing it while watching "Billions" on TV in the background :D
I prefer Helidon which also came out with 2.0 release
One theory is that it was possible due to more Oxygen see eg https://www.wired.com/2010/11/huge-dragonflies-oxygen

I think they are superpositions if two types of graph. First the left hand and bottom graphs. The blue graphs are concentrations of 13C isotope from various sources in the ecosystem. The red graphs are estimates of global temperature in degrees centigrade. Both types of graph are shown as deviations from the long term mean.

So what they show is that as 13C isotope levels drop, global temperatures rise. The drop in 13C concentrations is presumably because carbon from fossil fuels has extremely low isotope content because it mostly decayed, so as the proportion of fossil fuel carbon in the ecosystem rises isotope concentrations fall.

For the right hand graph red and blue are both isotope tracks, one is carbon the other is oxygen, which is being used as a proxy for temperature.
I was talking about finding vulnerabilities on end-user systems and servers. I don't know about others, but I don't generally keep compiler tool chains for C, C++, Java, Go and maybe 1-2 others on my systems and on my servers in case I need to rebuild all of my binaries.
The IE monopoly era (with its drawbacks) was in the 00's with the infamous IE6[0]. The lawsuit you mention is unrelated, it was because of the bundling of IE with Windows, notably in Windows 98 a few years before.

> and if you're against free speech, fuck you too.

Free speech advocates keep talking about the need for diversity of opinion, but they don't realise that they're so toxic they drive considerable numbers of people away, creating the very echo chambers they claim to dislike.
Dynamic linking was already common outside UNIX (Amiga, Xerox, Atari, MacOS, MS-DOS overlays and extenders, IBM and Unisys mainframes, Oberon/Lilith) so what does Win32 even have to do with it?
That is one piece of evidence of systemic racism.

The problem with your counterexample ("systemic famine"/"systemic war"/etc.) is that those are one-off events in the past, and thus they don't cumulatively add up and compound to create very unequal outcomes today. A more appropriate hypothetical would be that the last 400 years of one's ancestors all experienced genocide, war, or other similarly "crappy" things.
Unreal’s C++ code (specifically, anything deriving from UObject) is garbage collected as well.
Yes. This is over websockets though, and in all of my testing/profiling (pretty shitty ISP in West Africa, game server is currently hosted in the US) I haven't had an exchange take longer than one second. Also the mandatory wait is just for the die - for picking a move, for instance, the client can go straight into rendering the selected move while sending it to the server.
Have people become less smart? I think more likely you’ve just been exposed to the reality than most people are not as smart as yourself.

I certainly think more people are aware of things they wouldn’t have otherwise been aware of. It’s become more difficult for governments to hide facts from their citizens, and that’s been good.

It’s been a mixed bag and I think we should be careful of judging the Internet by the behaviour of companies like Facebook.

We’re also learning. Ten years ago I can’t imagine anyone quitting social media due to concerns about privacy, manipulation, the undermining of democracy or the amoral behaviour of Facebook’s employees, but that happens a lot now. As PG said, it takes time for us to “develop antibodies” to these things.
I guess all I'm saying is that a strategy that has a worse Sharpe ratio than the market but zero correlation could still be valuable to a lot of investors for the same reason that sometimes it makes sense to add a asset to your portfolio that lowers your expected return. It's possible that that one strategy with the worse Sharpe ratio when combined with your pure beta investments would yield a portfolio with a better Sharpe ratio than either allocation alone.
You might like the Debug Visualizer for VS Code! It's a general purpose visualizer.
However it's not as easy to use as this project.

This is a simplified version of the truth. There is a lot of information that you can safely share because the number of people that will know where to look for it, know how to implement it, what to even do with it, how not to make any one of 100possible stupid mistakes while implementing it - is very low.

Example in point: Warren Buffet. All of his process is public knowledge, he constantly writes and talks about it. And yet somehow it didn't make him lose his edge.
Why would it be impossible to have >1 chip access the SDRAM? Like Amiga did.

Especially if the GPU already had custom silicon for it.

Whether it would be good engineering (cost, time to market, risks) is of course another issue.
I'm trying to make sense of it all.

Social media is necessarily going to have racism, idiocy, profanity, conspiracy theories and everything else. If you start having editorial standards, it's not social media anymore.

Is Coca-Cola genuinely worried that their ads might appear alongside a rant about immigrants from your right-wing uncle? I think there is an ulterior motive but I'm not sure I can figure it out. Perhaps they sense that controlling the "woke" narrative works in their interests as long as it prevents people from going toward genuine radical and leftist, anti-corporation ideas that might question how Coca-Cola is addicting people to sugar and causing diabetes, how it treats trade unionists in Latin America, and things like that. So Black Lives Matter, as long as they drink coke, and we want to make sure they die of diabetes and not by police abuse.
Never used gitbook so I have the following question: in terms of content creation, how does it stack up compared to sphinx?
Rise of the Citizen Data Scientist
Graal is a lot of work on some libraries, I had to use an xsd to pojo mapper, and it was a lot of profiling with the tracing agent that save the reflection and ressources used, when using spark java micro framework. But micronaut has a facility to automatically handling the mapping lib, so it is less work if it is supported.
When porting the tracing agent and a lot of integration tests that test all the code branches is key.
There are so many bad modals in mainstream desktop software. Is there any good reason that an open file dialog completely disables all other interaction? What if I quickly have to task switch, or a piece of info relating to which file i wanna open is just off screen?

A personal favourite is osx Preview and the rename and move file drawer you can get from the status bar of an open file. That guy can't even be moved, and perfectly covers up the portion of a document likely to contain info relevant to a filename.
why don’t they protect their neighborhoods from murder/drugs/fraud on a daily basis?
Nearly all products, markets and human interactions operate on specific model which makes some assumptions, those assumptions often end up as rule - so that the model stay predictable for the people governing it.

By not following those assumptions (rules) you can make a new better model which might have better accuracy at representative real world problem than the existing model.

It doesn't mean that it's unethical or morally wrong. It doesn't have to be.
Facebook is not a person.
From personal experience, it really does actually work that way. Not all quant firms are running traditional market neutral factor portfolios though.
There’s now 2 incentive to support ARM better - Apple’s move to ARM on the desktop and cheaper cloud bills if you’re willing to use ARM instances. Either one wouldn’t be enough of an incentive, but together it will cause a shift in the next 3-5 years.

Developers will become more aware of the differences between the architectures, tool chains will accommodate both better, people and software will stop assuming they are running on x86 as default. ARM won’t “win” the desktop or the server market, but it will become a viable alternative, squeezing the profits of companies who depend on x86.
Personally I'd call myself a "hybrid consumer." I'll pirate a game as an offline demo if the only way to purchase it doesn't allow refunds. I'll also pirate a game if I already paid for it on a different platform. There are quite a few PC games still in their plastic wrap on my shelf because they required obnoxious add-on software like uPlay and pirating something I already bought was preferable to installing it.
> I have always found it odd that an interest in privacy would coincide with an interest in tech.

Perhaps knowledge of tech makes you aware of how easily it can be (ab)used to track you and invade your privacy.
Although sometimes I like playing the keyboard warrior as I did just here in my previous comment. I also feel there are good people that are in the movement of BLM. I sympathize and empathize with those that are hurting right now. I also believe BLM is not fully responsible for the rioting really I don’t know who to blame for that but regardless lawlessness is not cool. I believe in BLM the concept but not the movement. BLM the concept to me is that BLM because some black people feel and at times, if not very often are discriminated against who get nasty looks anything really. I don’t back down with what I said though. Just as there are people in BLM that do the following there are also people in ALM that are being intolerant, anti Semitic possibly racist and the like. I think they too should be treated with intolerance to an extent. They should not feel welcome making those comments, because they should make a change. I still agree that we should defend The right to free speech that we disagree with, but that just means to me that the government shouldn’t infringe on those rights. We have the freedom to speak our words from possible government intervention, but not a freedom to choose the social consequences. I think people forget that part of the Republican platform in America is standing for individual liberty. As I’ve been told recently if we are color blind that may be bad if we are unaware of our own personal things that make us an individual that’s also bad. Individual liberty to me means standing up for everyone including the little guy but you can’t stand up for the little guy at large expense of the group just as you can’t stand up for the group at the large expense of the minority. That principle I learned from the book Economics in One Lesson and also Our Republican Constitution. If BLM the organization donation’s list goes through ActBlue can you really say it’s a bipartisan movement? I believe the Republican Party still aligns with the principle of BLM the concept but the organization and it’s movement seems to me to drift to partisan politics.

I think you could find lots of stuff on Reddit that could go on page 3
Suppose you have two polarized filters at 90 degrees to each other. These block out all the light so you could say that this setup is a form of measurement, since it provides knowledge that zero light is passing through.

In classical mechanics, adding a 3rd filter between the two would have no effect since already no light is getting through.

However with quantum putting a 3rd filter between your two original filters at 45 degrees will allow half of the photons to pass through all 3 filters. This is where things get strange and measurement is not very well defined. Are any of the 3 filters now performing a measurement? We know that half the photons will pass through but have no way of determining which will and which won't.

This experiment works with polarized sunglasses btw, quantum in the palm of your hands.
King county has 0.953% property tax per [2].

Austin currently has 1.803% property taxes [1],
and could potentially have property taxes of 2.25%
if [3] a plan to increase property taxes by 25% for a public transit plan.
(In which case property taxes for homes half the price in Austin will be greater than a home costing 2x more in King County)

It helps that in C and C++ worlds we gladly use binary dependencies, which isn't the case for Rust and cargo based builds, unless you throw something like scache into the process.
> The only way to do this is to have one chip (It's always the GPU. The GPU needs more memory bandwidth) connected directly to the dram, and the second chip (CPU) has to send memory requests to the second chip.

I don't think thats true, in embedded architectures its not uncommon to have dual-port RAM.
A Bug Bounty comes to mind.

This sort of stuff could be crowd sourced better even without a bounty.

Why not dump part of the billions $ spent for the visually impaired on web design instead into long lasting solutions like better text-to-speech.

I guess less opportunists to virtual signal is the real answer.

So you'd need a way to allow people to virtual signal to fix this, which also possible, and in fact might be also a way to earn $.

Ask HN: What is your stance on the GMO vs. non GMO debate?
Asking here because this is an audience that hopefully knows what it is talking about. Even though i personally bend towards the benefits (only worried about IP monopolies) i am eager to hear about well researched and serious issues that do not amount to fear mongering. With CRISPR applications in agriculture opening up many new possibilities i am really wondering if we could actually have drought resistant, higher yielding, pesticide free and tastier versions of crops available in gluten free version year round.

I don't understand restaurant delivery. Just cook for yourself. You get something cheaper, faster, healthier, possibly better, and the satisfaction of doing something useful with your hands.
Payoneer is a joke company. Sometime back we were using epsyments to pay the salaries of our post Soviet nation based contractors, they were better but I think now it doesn't work anymore?

And Payoneer was always very difficult to sign up to.

“No, we can’t use leading cloud providers to store this data. What if someone unauthorised looks at it?”

This attitude leaves the victim paying millions in ransom. Look, Microsoft and Amazon probably have a better handle on security than your IT dept which is two people who also have to fix any issues like the WiFi not working or software not updating.
Bullshit, "toxic" speech is solved by exposing it and then allowing MORE free speech to counter it, and this is granting the giant fallacy that "toxic" speech is a thing, which it really isn't. That label plus many others are just tools for justifying censorship. You slap a label on someone and BAM, you don't need to process those ideas anymore.

Isn't it possible to hold an idea in your head without allowing that idea to take over your mind? I can't imagine how much people live in fear thinking that you might accidentally read something and then somehow it changes you completely without you noticing. What a horrible existence that is.

> Albums are big statements. Some of the most iconic releases in popular music have been albums.

On the contrary, most of the greatest contemporary hits was singles. I can't remember really bold and moving statements in the form of albums, except maybe "The Wall". Classic composers never wrote albums,their large forms were symfonies and opera - whole pieces of separate parts.

Albums was invented by vinyl/CD music industry and will die with them.
Possibly because nobody who actually reads scientific articles recreationally or for work will read the comments or at least won't consider them a serious discussion. However, leaving the comments off would likely cause those disagreeing to claim it's an "echo chamber" and push them to spread the article with quote tweets about how bad it is, causing much more of a storm. Letting people air their crazy theories is easier than having to deal with them getting built up until your publication is flooded with letters asking to stop whatever perceived malicious agenda you've got.
Is HN "very-moderated" though? I've got my share of unpopular opinions but nobody has ever tried to shut me down over them - something that I've seen happen to myself and others relatively frequently on IRC.

Why vegan junk food may be even worse for your health
Amazing work! It's something we knew would come at some point, but I didn't expect it to be that good so early!

Since some of the authors are in this thread answering questions, I have one: I wonder if such project requires Google-scale infrastructure or if it's something that can easily be replicated. For instance, how big is the training set? And how much compute was necessary to train the model?
> It actually does handle errors properly

IMO if a website displays a loading message indefinitely then this isn’t error handling.

I’d say that showing accurate feedback is part of proper error handling; like the one you suggested:

> I suppose I could have added a "it seems we can't reach Reddit" kind of message,

Not that a hobby project needs error handling, it’s cool even without it.

I'm assuming that you're asking about Boardgame Lab (from the other comment).

The basic version just uses Monte Carlo Tree Search and the game's victory condition to play the game. This won't result in a very strong bot for most games, but is a reasonable opponent to play your game against (which is very useful when designing a game).

Options to make the bot stronger involve giving it hints and shorter term objectives.
the term “systemic racism”, to me, sounds like parts of the system are actively racist. your argument is true (black people are economically disadvantaged given history), but aren’t poor white people/latino people too?

how is a poor black person any worse off than a poor white person?
Law is a field that at least in a place like India is intentionally kept opaque and unnecessarily complex and if we follow the 80-20 rule then 80% of cases are needlessly taking much longer than needed. The spirit of the law gets killed because at the end of the day the rich and powerful can get away and for an average person it is always the case of justice delayed is justice denied.

If we have algorithmic definitions and every edge case covered (mostly hypothetical based on first principle definitions) a lot of this can be cleared.

However whenever subjectivity creeps in, which is what 90% of law thrives on, the powers that be will not let it be simplified for per them Human interpretations will always be paramount.

Indian SC judges have a fetish for English language and sometimes write judgements with 1000s of pages, 900 of which are actually unnecessary.
We have the technology even with chemical rockets to get to Mars in 30-100 days depending on deltaV and payload. That's on par with the time required to sail across the ocean. Our track record of humans surviving space journeys is also much better than the survival probability of those early ocean voyages.

Sailing across the ocean seems trivial now because we did it often and perfected the technology. We can do the same with space travel.
