You need to stop using price data, it's worthless. Price is non-stationary and non-normal. Look at log returns instead.

But in general, I would advice you to take a more quantitative factor approach and stop looking at black magic technical indicators.

A good introductory book on equity strategies is Active Portfolio Management by Grinold and Khan. I think reading that book will change your entire approach.

Also, I would focus on market neutral factor strategies instead of your long only price analysis.

Not to be harsh, but what you're doing makes very little sense. It's great that you're interested in quantitative finance, but you gotta learn the fundamentals before publishing blog posts.

Writing from SE Asia at the moment. I think we need to recognise that it's not all down to understanding and education. A lot of it is complex cultural interaction and historical development. This is especially true when it comes to authoritarianism. A culture like Japan, Taiwan, or Mongolia is a lot more accepting and unquestioning when it comes to government dictates, unlike the USA or even the UK where people generally speaking don't like being told what to do. I do think that there are large groups of people who don't understand the consequences of going along with their cultural trajectory and can't see how "it's just the flu" or "masks are symbolic of submission" hurt them long term. They just reflexively react based on their cultural influences.
I have to disagree. Homebrew doesn't even come close to what's been available in Linux for decades. Whenever I have to use macOS I'm perpetually frustrated by the state of package management on the OS.

The advantage of descriptive names is that the more you know, the more you can infer despite them being far removed from current language. On the other hand if there isn't a good candidate for a descriptive name, a surname-shaped nonce is better than a misnomer.

One doesn't interpret "self-driving". The definition of self driving is something that drives itself. Period. Adding "full" in front of it makes it emphatic. It's the same as saying something is "free" or "completely free".

I don't consider driving through stop lights a beta feature. Even if only happens one time out of a thousand it's still a threat to life, and a possible class action suit.

There isn't room for a threat-to-life feature to improve incrementally, and it's very curious to see anyone suggest that it's somehow tolerable to risk the lives of customers with not-quite-there-yet-but-we'll-get-back-to-you-soon features.
You’re defining solid-engineering funny.

You need a mass amount of data to train on. How do you get that? Its an engineering or a business problem, depending how how you look at it - how do you get a ton of people driving for you?

Tesla has the better business model here. That leads to more data, which is the most important factor in training.

Now, google is orders of magnitude bigger and had a huge head start, perhaps they brute force their way to the lead. But being more conservative != better engineering. You could philosophically disagree with many things Tesla is doing, but in terms of solving self driving cars I think they have the better strategy that gives their engineers the data they need.

Tesla is in the real world recording every car they sell through vastly more dynamic scenario/terrain. That’s smart engineering.
Listen, your idea is inherently viral, so if you can’t make it work, it’s probably because you’re focusing on solving the wrong part of the problem.

Simplest solution: an app that texts my friends with an invite to an event, and has a link if they want to go that takes them back to my site and gives them a chance to change their mind on the page.

No download required. If people want to make their own events, they have to download your app.

If _that_ doesn’t grow, then you’re just not solving a painful enough problem. It might be painful for _you_, but it’s not painful enough for your friends.
I do care a lot actually as this pandemic's risk is personal to me. But because of where I live the people are not responding they way they are in different states. It's not like the pandemic happened and all the sudden I had this idea. I had this idea before the pandemic, started working on it before the pandemic. Then the pandemic happened. As I have mentioned I don't want people using this app unless they already are going out regularly with their friends.

> I don't have a car. Get rid of the roads.

So you don't have a car. Should you pay for other people's car maintenance? Should you pay for other people's gasoline and the gas tax? You do know that the gas tax pays for the roads right? If you don't have a car or drive, you don't pay to build or maintain the roads. Car owners pay for it via the gas tax.

I don't have a kid, but I have to pay for your kid? Is that the logic? How about people pay for their own kids, cars, homes, etc? Fair?

> I'm not old. Get rid of social security.

People pay for their own social security. You don't pay for my social security, I don't pay for yours.
Maybe at some employers but what I've seen is deadlines moved forward because of Covid and the need to adapt. So not only is there less staffing but more work to do overall in a shorter period of time.

Mind you, I'm not arguing against the status quo here but just looking at both sides.
It really isn't. Access is great for _persistent_ data, but if I have a .csv file and I just need it quickly sorted so I can grab the top 100 entries after multi-column sorting, Access is about as useful as SQL: pointless for what I need.

Is there a chess game which teaches you well known openings as well?

I use to have a java game on my old Nokia phone once. Never found it again. If I made a certain opening, or did a certain move, it use to tell me that I played that particular move.
This seems right about where I expected their real-world capabilities to be today based on their sensor setup and the state of ML for self-driving. i.e. not very good, and nowhere near the Elon hype train or timetable. The real question is how much of this can actually be fixed by software updates alone. Personally, I don't think they can even get to 99% reliability on these use cases, let alone the number of 9s required to be at least as good as the human drivers it's supposed to replace. My money is still solidly on Waymo being the frontrunner for years.
If so, their post sure as hell doesn't make that case. I'm 99% certain it's just a sponsored ad-as-blog-post.
All of Egan's books make me feel stupid, but in the best possible way :) I always feel I'm getting half the picture but would need a PhD in whatever speciality he's focussing on in this book to get the whole thing, yet thoroughly enjoy every book all the same.

Yeah, I saw that; the OO person in the replied mentioning the $100 price as well, so either something changed in the meanwhile (possibly as a response to the feedback?), the poster was mistaken, or I'm not understanding their pricing page correctly. As far as I can see for personal usage the "home server" plan should be grand.
Yes, because it is FFI you have to use unsafe to do so.

Evaluating Schwarz–Christoffel Maps in Pie Slices
I recently took and passed the AWS Certified Cloud Professional exam, based on the training material from https://acloud.guru/ and my personal experience (30+ years as a SysAdmin/DevOps Engineer, overlapping with 7+ years as a cloud consultant, including working extensively with AWS). I’m now going through the acloud.guru training material for the AWS Certifies Solutions Architect. And I’ve got several more AWS certifications planned.

The acloud.guru site is not the only training facility out there — I think there may be better material from certain teachers on Udemy.com, but acloud.guru is free for us thanks to an arrangement with my employer, so that’s the primary service I’m using.

In the years since I graduated from university and went into the professional field in 1989, I haven’t seen very many certificates that I felt had a lot of value. Netware certificates actually meant something. As did Cisco certs. But I’ve found very few other certificates that do. So far, I have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of stuff I’ve learned in pursuit of my AWS certificates. Sure, there’s lots of stuff I already knew, but then there were also a surprising amount of gaps in my knowledge that I would have never known about, had I not gone through this training.

That said, just going for the certificates is not useful. You have to get your hands dirty. You have to actually build stuff with the material you’re learning. You can use a free account, or the “sandbox” type systems that are provided through acloud.guru, or other training facilities.

If you want to learn AWS, I recommend you actually do stuff with AWS. You’ll learn it as you build and break various things. And doing the certifications as you go may help you learn more than you could have learned on your own.
Most lucid defense of anarchy I've read so far. Thank you!
I think they would be violating the terms of the sale if they don't fix the issues present and roll out all the features described in FSD. Granted, that's no guarantee they will either.

So far they have made significant fixes and rolled out new features. As long as they keep that up they'll eventually deliver something reliable with all the features listed.

As to when, it'll probably be next season. No clue on which year though... :P
Sure, that’s almost certain. Not even Microsoft gets it completely correct between versions of Office. But I think he’ll eventually find that his new favourite Office suite will also have compatibility issues.

I’m fine with completion, but I’m looking for specific issues. It’s really far too vague to know what they are talking about.
No, I didn't. The article is about how it's better than OpenOffice and friends. And all of those are cross-platform software. In the same way they're all open source, so listing that as somehow a reason it's better is just nonsense.
There is no conflict.

Ryan, you've fallen into a trap a lot of younger engineers do... a complete lack of empathy. Code is rigid and logical, but the reasons we write code never are.

Ignoring COVID, you don't seem to be able to see this from anyone's perceptive but your own. Your app offers nothing to the user they can't get in a thousand other places, better. The quality is very low compared to what people expect, the usecase is one nobody has ever asked for, yet you still have this vibe of believing people owe you an audience. Rather than making something good that people want, you're looking for growth hacks.

People are telling you directly and indirectly that this was a swing and a miss. Add on COVID, and your responses just kinda make you seem like you don't care. Don't say "the risk is personal," as though that's a magic wand that exculpates you... it just makes it worse.

Find something to work on that won't endanger people, and stop justifying building a meetup app during a pandemic. I get it, things changed since you started in November and that sucks... but they did change. Now you have to.

Ryan, if you pivot into something that helps people rather than hurts, I'd be more than happy to help you get your first users. My email's in my profile.
That's the one. I thought it was great -- it's not unusual when reading an "epic era" Stephenson book to spend a lot of time wondering what story is being told.

But he's a great writer and if you enjoy his style, you usually are rewarded with two or three books of story by the time you run out of pages.
The thrust of the original article's point is that more descriptive names for theorems and definitions is better. "Steiner curvature centroid" is more descriptive than "Steiner Point", and by the metric of being able to Google for relevant information, it is indeed better.

I see now, rereading, that you were in fact making two points. First, that understanding the definition dwarfs learning the name. (I'd argue that a better name won't make you instantly understand a definition, but it can help but the very example of Steiner point vs Steiner curvature centroid.) Second, that sometimes multiple defintions and theorems are named for the same person, which causes confusion. So you were making a for-and-against argument.
> But being more conservative != better engineering.

Isn't being conservative better when your technology can kill people?
Yup, it can happen. I’m just curious what the issues specifically were.

Do you have an example document? The LO team are always looking at compatibility issues.

$10/mo isn't bad for a 'professional' service. Basic manicures are ~$20 and last 7-10 days; they are common with in-person sales and marketing jobs.
Yes, you're quite right. I should have limited that claim further. Not all modern American evangelicals are ashamed of sex.

Befriending someone does not in any way require that you approve of their choices, though.

I would guess Ruth did not approve of Larry's choice to produce pornography, as it's the antithesis of the traditional (approving) Christian view of sex, where sex is deeply interpersonal and sacred, so much so that it can only function as it's meant to in a long-term, committed monogamous relationship, a.k.a. marriage. Pornography turns an individual's sexuality into a performative falsehood that's then commoditized - few approaches to sex could be more opposed.
While I like Tcl, which I have used to write substantial portions of a shipping product, the author does make a good point about the difficulty of creating a language that is simultaneously a good programming language and a good scripting language: I love IPython dearly, but I've never seriously considered using it as a bash replacement (nor bash as a substitute for anything but the simplest Python scripts).

As an aside, I have to praise one particular, easily overlooked aspect of Tcl: its comm facility is, from a (non-Tcl) client implementation perspective, the easiest "foreign function interface"[1] I've ever worked with by far, due almost entirely to the simplicity and consistency of Tcl syntax.

[1] Technically, comm was designed as a remote execution facility, but it works just as well locally to run Tcl code from within a non-Tcl program without the hassle of embedding an interpreter.
This is the correct answer. Optimizing for the user is optimizing for the conglomerate. By giving each user the path of least resistance, the highest systemic throughput is achieved.

> You say that, but from my experience medication is the first line treatment. Often there isn't even any other type of treatment that comes with it. You just try a whole bunch of different ones and hope for the best.

I should have expanded on that particular point. It's widely understood in the research side that medicine should be a back up, but the practicing side of psychiatry is often completely detached from the current research, so it takes far too long for the body of knowledge to propagate into the practicing side. The impact of research on application is a far cry from where it should.

> Considering what happened the last time psychiatrists fiddled with people's brains I find it fascinating that anyone is willing to try this. Lobotomies were done for years by actual physicians, yet it was pretty much the worst possible horror show imaginable. Did they get it right this time?

The safety of TMS has been studied for a few decades now and its safety (and efficacy) is also being further understood with scanning someone with fMRI while simultaneously stimulating with TMS, which is pretty difficult since you're blasting a magnetic pulse at the same time that you're imaging using magnetism.

As with most medical interventions, there is a risk. More specifically, there are two primary risks: triggering a seizure from an epileptic patient by using too high of a pulse near the motor cortex or exacerbating a patient's current hypomanic/manic symptoms. It's much less invasive and much safer than things like ECT and DBS. Once again, this is a last resort and used for people things like treatment-resistant depression or PTSD. It's used after trying multiple medications, not because it's riskier, but rather because its effects tend to be acute in lasting anywhere from a few months to a few days after a session.

> I think the greatest problem with it is its adjacency to psychology and patient care. It removes some of the rigor from the treatment that the patient gets, because most of the time the patient is not interacting with doctors or even nurses. It'll be social workers of some form that may or may not have some training in trying to help people with mental health issues.

I agree that this where a lot of work needs to be done. In my opinion and in terms of widespread issues like depression and anxiety, psychiatric treatment should sought or referred after clinical psychologists have exhausted most or all of their options and should be taking on the brunt of those problems, not social workers and counselors. Too much rides on the latter's shoulders due to the barriers a lot of people face getting access to effective mental health professionals like clinical psychologists and psychiatrists. It doesn't help that a lot of general physicians will try to play the role of psychiatrist as well.

It's a slide from a presentation given at the RISC-V Global Forum, held online on September 3.
Building machines to make N95 masks quickly is extremely difficult and the masks themselves don’t last for that long. Scaling production to cover just medical professionals within 6 months didn’t happen, let alone the general public.

However, we could scale N95 capacity for the next pandemic relatively cheaply. The fact nobody is talking in those terms suggests it’s simply not going to happen, and arguably the real reason why why we don’t have them for this pandemic.
I was a young adult when the TI-99/4A hit the market. I worked in the digital communications industry and considered getting one, but I ended up waiting for something better and comparably priced. I put together a Ferguson Big Board II a few years later. Many of you might say the TI was "better", and you would be right about the CPU and the color graphics, but not about the software availability. CP/M was the best "business" OS of the day until MS-DOS eventually overtook it.

At first glance, it does some like an unnecessarily gratuitous instance of undefined behavior. However... what could you actually meaningfully do with a pointer to freed memory anyways? You clearly can't dereference it. The only pointers you can compare it to are other pointers to the now-freed object (cross-object pointer comparisons are UB in C) and NULL. But if you were going to compare it to NULL, it's presumably to guard against a dereference, so you'd end up UB anyways if you didn't overwrite it to NULL in the first place, at which point it's not being compared with anything anymore.
Interesting article but I am not sure if this is satire or not. There are many projects the country could or should take on but making an effort to massively increase population seems just lunacy to me. There are already problems with pollution and water resources. Why make these things much worse?

The closest GIT gets to being relevant is that some mathematical universes exist (or 'exist') that cannot be proven to exist. Alternatively - since Godel's Incompleteness Theorm is the same thing thing as the Halting Problem - some simulations that can't be proven valid (ie that each step of the simulation halts) are nonetheless valid.
That's pretty much why they require the driver to be paying attention with their hands on the wheel at all times. Any user who treats it otherwise is asking for trouble.
