Technically HFT is a subset of algorithmic trading. Algorithmic trading can be done on both the buy (IE hedge fund) and sell (Investment bank) side, but does not need to be high frequency. High Frequency also means low latency- sub millisecond, and I have never seen an algo trading system of any sort that deals in latencies that are not in the millisecond range, though this isn't really a requirement.

Does this help?
The pension thing has become a talking point, but it's a red herring. I agree with you that the USPS needs to be defended, but we degrade the discourse when talking past each other with hyperbolic points.

Most private businesses no longer operate with defined benefit pensions, because businesses have moved on to defined contribution retirement plans (eg 401k) which are inherently prefunded. Funding retirement obligations at the time they are accrued is a good thing, and we should push for more of it rather than silently indebting future generations.

If the USPS was partially compensating workers by promising them a pension out of some future budget, then they were only profitable as long as their assumptions about growth held. We can accept this while still acknowledging USPS as a public service entitled to public funding, especially as needed to get through this accounting change.
In general, the primary data is the control flow. Edge profiling or path profiling e.g. https://era.library.ualberta.ca/items/2ff4f1c2-9664-43cf-8d7...

For the instrumentation based profiling, there are other extra information collected, like frequent indirect branch targets (e.g. virtual calls in C++, to support speculative devirtualization which again enables inlining), specific values for certain arithmetic operations that can be sped up if you know the typical value (e.g. a particular division in the code only or mostly handles power-of-2, it can be optimized to use shift if the target cpu has particularly slow division, etc, etc), or values of certain function calls (e.g. length of memcpy) that can be optimized if you know the typical value (inline/unroll memcpy instead of doing a call), etc.

Clang has what they call context-sensitive profile:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D54175
which partially achieves what you're asking.

Clang also supports sampling profiler - https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#using-sampling-... which gives you somewhat similar control flow profile.

I stopped playing gaming as well except for simple logic games (chess, board games, word games, puzzles etc), but did play with some younger friends a few games a while back and while fun they got boring pretty fast and didn't feel compelled to play again. We played a game called Halo, it's a very immersive game and it is well made but it did not engage creatively at all. You have to shoot one another, that is the main premise of the game but it surely gets complex, you have some missions, etc. The patters of the game is the same with other modern action games - the shoot to kill type of game only what's changed is the decorum, weapons, characters, but it's the same recycled idea over and over. I found games that break that paradigm rarer. Anyways I'm not willing to sink hours into video games, life is short after all

> it’s not arbitrary

No, they justify ruining some developers based on some criteria that they then justify with the logic that (a) the developer wouldn’t have had any money if it weren’t for Apple to begin with and (b) they “care so deeply” for the Apple “users” that they can’t allow the developer’s life work (or livelihood) to exist and make any kind of unpleasantness available for consumers to choose.
There are companies who do this well, sure.

Are you seriously suggesting that this applies 80% of the companies out there trying to apply ML methods?

If so, it really doesn't match my experience in this and related fields. Of course we'll both have sampling bias here, so I could be missing the big picture; it's not like I've studied it industry(ies) wide.

There were people calling him out in 2014 for not knowing Scots. He said that he's read articles written by actual speakers, and he can't tell the difference between those articles and his, so it's the same.

His first mistake, which should be treated with graciousness and care, was a case of reach exceeding grasp.

His second and bigger mistake was continuing astride for years even after several people expressed concern, told him he doesn't know the language, and explained that his editing was doing real damage to perception of the language.

It's not right to treat him like a vandal, but the second mistake is good cause for being a little bit more forceful and public with the rebuke.

“after an hour it goes 'ding'”

Most modern hard disks are too large/too slow for that. A write speed of 200MB/s translates to 12GB/minute, or 720GB/hour.

So, a 2TB hard disk (‘small’ for today) already would take 2½ hours to fill, and that assumes you hit 200MB/s continuously.

For a 12TB disk, “after a _day_ it goes 'ding'” would be closer to the truth.

I also think that, for most consumers, storage in the cloud is a better option than a “consumer-grade NAS”.
If it looks crazy, it might just be the most optimized route.

Like how google tells you to drive on a dike and then over some one lane dirt roads through a hill to get there 10 minutes faster.
Don’t use edge cases or niche anything. Expect a senior to provide original solutions to problems.

If you want to be very specific determine the level of hand holding the developer requires.

* Can they do the job without a giant framework and a billion build tools?

* Can they interpret and refactor other peoples code?

* Can they write documentation?

* Can they objectively consider evidence based approaches to code decisions?

* Can they distinguish product quality from developer convenience?

Consider that a good mid level developer is at the top of the bell curve. They know all the latest trends and fashions. They have probably mastered things important to beginners. A good senior has learned to leave all that nonsense behind to produce simpler code more productively.
This relies on OpenOFDM for much of the "Physical" layer of WiFi, which has some INCREDIBLE documentation that is really worth checking out if you want to understand how modern radios go from a radio signal to packets:

(Modern) WiFi shares a lot of similarities to the physical layers of LTE/5G NR in their more basic modes, so this is useful well beyond WiFi.
> If it is so unpopular, how come Firefox hasn’t axed it?
Because I don't think it's quite unpopular. I'm a Pocket subscriber and use it very heavily, even before it joined Mozilla and got integrated into FF).

It provides some revenue stream into Mozilla and it's a genuinely useful service.

> How come only popular things like advanced extension support gets axed?

There was a very detailed blog post about it recently. It boils down the architecture being a roadblock and being very open to operational abuse in terms of security and privacy of the users.

Sometimes, the most elegant and useful code gets the axe because, it genuinely blocks something further down the road. It's painful but, it sometimes needs to happen like this. Firefox is a very old code base. It's every part has been changed over time but, these changes were always gradual and connected to previous iterations so, the evolution kinda had a forced path out from some states.

> Why are they spending time and resources on horrific products like Pocket when they could be literally improving their browser. Why is it pushed so aggressively and shamelessly?

You might be thinking some service/product to be horrific but, I personally like to be able to read some stuff distraction free and being able store its permanent copies with my annotations on it very convenient from a knowledge base perspective. Looks like I'm not the only one so, the service's still alive.

BASIC is great. Neat project! I'm just not a fan of line numbers.
It's an activation pattern, but it's not "just an activation pattern". The face activation relies on previous layers, the detection of each component. We can conjecture probably fair to say human brain object recognition (and other subconscious processes) use similar principles. All the components required to efficiently "understand", say a face, are there (not the shown visualization and architecture is for AlexNet, by now a very old and primitive model). I don't think we can ask for much more.

What transformers do differently from CNNs is attention/recurrence. They have modifiable internal state, while feedforward models just have the feedforward state that can't temporally be reused (which is what we mean by 'algorithm'). This is a feature of logical thinking (and our own logical thinking), but I suspect most of what is meant by understanding the world is already contained in the internal structure captured by those models. Most of I understanding, as far as I can tell, comes from both this structural, intuitive inference (that CNNs and language models do), allied with our ability to think -- that is, talk to ourselves -- and thus build explanations and models on the fly, still reliant on the structural, intuitive understanding that comes from just very large networks generating abstract representations, classifications, etc.

okd4 came ~1yr after ocp4 was there.
Can it be trusted it won't have such delays in the future ? What about security fixes, features, will they always lag behind as an incentive to get the paid version?
In k8s, even if you maintain iy yourself, there is a huge community and you can always get your fixes. How does okd community compare? okd was on k8s 1.11 till few weeks back, 8 releases behind! Imagine the security issues okd had for such a long period...
(ps: even centos seems to be lagging behing badly, centos 7.7 took many months after rhel 7.7).

as for ocp/okd tools like s2i, ansible for replacing helm, routes, deployment configs, etc -> they never took off, community did not agree. Those that did not take care to stay away from stuff that is not pure k8s suffer from beying disconnected from the rest of industry and have to invest to redo everything...
not to mention their impossibility to switch to cloud providers solutions like eka,aks,pks,etc...
> they send links in Gmail through a redirect to protect referrer info

The iOS Gmail app does this as well -- is it really to protect the referrer? What's the referrer in the case of a webview? I had thought that it was so they could track what people click on, but they must get that information with even higher fidelity from the native app...

One problem with plain writing using simple sentence structure, common words and conversational grammar is that it's boring. It has its place: technical writing where facts need to be presented completely and unambiguously as well as writing for non-native speakers are two examples. However, if your goal is to educate, entertain, convince, communicate with passion, or simply express yourself in a way that permits subtlety or complexity, then it's tremendously constraining---and even more boring to write than it is to read.
The songs are like that, I didn't make any of the music myself.
There is a benefit, though. If there was competition between app stores on the iPhone, the quality and quantity of apps available to iPhone users would increase substantially. App stores would compete on fees, attracting developers, protecting consumers, and so on. Fees would drop, developers would face less cost and friction bringing their apps to the market, app stores would have to innovate to keep protecting consumers. Monopolies cause consumer harm.

The biggest irony of all this is that consumers don't seem to realize the harm Apple is doing, because Apple is busy pulling the wool over their eyes by telling them they are protecting their security and privacy. iOS is a nanny state. Apple maintains a culture of fear among consumers to achieve its business goal, which is to maintain its monopoly position.
There is also the implicit assumption of "superior goodness" of those in power, who will "benevolently assure our security". If anything, power corrupts. Trusting a certain small group to be ethically superior is insanity. If anything, history proves that, on average, those with more money are _less_ethical_. They often got the money by being that way, then convince everyone to give them more power.

Most electronic design work is done outside of the US so the opportunities are still limited. You can become trapped in a job or unemployable if you have specialized in something that isn't in demand. Most regions have few concentrations of employers that you can shift between so changing jobs usually means moving. The economic realities of making things and the limited labor competition suppresses salaries.
Yes. It's at the point where it can strong-arm large chunks of the economy. That's too much power in the hands of a single for-profit entity.

Compare the output of an inflation calculator vs the price of health insurance, collage, or the average new home in 1960’s USA vs now. Different prices don’t move in lockstep with inflation.

So, inflation as calculated on a basket of goods divorced from living expenses gives inaccurate comparisons. Yes wholesale food prices for example got really cheap, but overall food is still a significant fraction of people’s budgets.

They even give pilots a pistol or a sub-machine gun in case they eject over enemy territory. It's probably dead weight, but if it can save someone once, why not? I wouldn't go without it even if intellectually I know I'm not going to take down the whole enemy army with a 15 shots pistol.

> Also it's pretty much impossible to grow a zfs pool and there are no consistency check tools or repair tools.

This is flat out wrong. First you can trivially grow a zpool by adding another vdev to it. If you can't do that, you can grow a vdev, and hence the zpool using that vdev, by swapping the disks for larger disks one at a time. Once all the physical disks in the vdev are of the new, larger size, the new space will become available automatically.

Also there's absolutely a consistency check and repair tool built in. ZFS computes and stores checksums for all blocks, even when you use a single disk!. It also verifies the checksums when reading blocks. In addition you can trigger a verification of all the blocks by running a scrub command, which simply issues a read for all the blocks.

> So when you actually do get corruption, you lose it all.

Hardly. Not only does ZFS have the above, it also stores multiple copies of important metadata blocks (three copies by default), and it even takes effort to spread those blocks out on the physical disks to reduce the chance of them getting corrupted as much as possible.

I'm not saying ZFS is the perfect filesystem. But it's definitely one of the better if you care about your data.
Deletion is typically specified by an immutable finalizer on the resource. For example, you can create a StorageClass that saves your PersistentVolume when you delete the PersistentVolumeClaim, and you can't change the class of a claim, so even if your templating goes haywire and deletes your volume claim, the actual data is safe and can be recovered. I have to imagine that any API that lets you create things like RDS instances would have similar protection. (You might think that the k8s world is very mutable, but there are some immutable things hanging around. For cases exactly like this.)

I don't use AWS so I didn't look into this thoroughly, but the word "finalizer" does show up in the code frequently:

// MarkManaged places the supplied resource under the management of ACK.
// What this typically means is that the resource manager will decorate the
// underlying custom resource (CR) with a finalizer that indicates ACK is
// managing the resource and the underlying CR may not be deleted until ACK
// is finished cleaning up any backend AWS service resources associated
// with the CR.

I dunno how good it is, but clearly they've thought about it. Test it before you invest billions of dollars into it, though.
