True. juniors dont know their market value and that makes it easy to get them stuck in low-paying jobs
It's a pretty simple concept. Net orderflow moves the price in the direction of the flow. Having foreknowledge of net flows implies knowledge of future price changes. Front-running is just trading on that knowledge.

Here are some ways it happens:

1. A broker-dealer has client orders in its possession and trades ahead of them (classic front running)

2. A hedge fund with 2 portfolios trading correlated signals, one faster than the other (the Medallion-RIEF hypothesis)

3. Anticipate retails flows using behavioral advertising data or network intercepts from a statistically meaningful population (the Robintrack model)

There are more, but they all share the same flavour. I wonder if Robinhood is sending retail orders to anyone running strategy 3.
Vue.js 3.0 Breaking Changes, and Upgrade from Vue 2 to Vue 3
I haven’t done any independent research (other than trying it out in a C128 emulator and concluding that it indeed feels very slow 8) ), but there is a detailed answer here: https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/2361/why-...

The issue does not seem entirely clear cut, but from the looks of it, while apparently the newer CP/M 3.0 used there does seem a bit slower than earlier versions, the majority of the reasons seem indeed pretty specific to the C128.

Ok, I’m sympathetic to that POV. I’m grateful for the credibility revolution in econometrics, but it clearly can become an obsession. Prediction on its own can be worthwhile. I wouldn’t say causation is a myth - maybe rather that it’s overvalued.
No, I don't want do disallow editing. I do want to allow it but protect the content from accidental edits. Every time I publish a Notion page and forget to lock it, it is being accidentally modified. Some people notice it and undo. Some don't. In the combination with useless page history it is very difficult to reason whether the edit was accidental. The page could remain in accidentally modified state for a long time until author notices it.
My understanding is that you move to SF to optimize for money/status, not for livability.

Concentrate on the multiple wonderful things you've experienced in this life.

Recognise that every single one of your ancestors had their life, then it ended just as yours will. Recognize that you are part of a community of all of those millions of lives.

Not a huge amount of hype, but heard really good things about the Back to the Future musical. Thanks Covid.
idk, depends on the neighborhood.

I've lived in North Beach for around a year. Both before and during Covid, I've found people to be super friendly and willing to have a short conversation if it makes sense to have one. A simple "hi" would be welcomed the majority of the time.

On the other hand, I used to love in lower polk, fairly close to the tenderloin (sutter st). No way would I talk to anyone on the street there, and I suspect most people would ignore or become fearful of a "hello".
Speaking of which... how will Covid vaccinations for the general public happen in America?

Do you have to show ID? Passport? Proof citizenship?

What about undocumented immigrants? They're human beings and can infect everyone else too. Has anyone thought of them?
I would have to expect there were at least a few brilliant scientists who worked there and contributed some momentum in this direction, and could be regaining some footing in legitimate operations now.

Theranos was claiming they were already delivering the full spectrum of tests when the promise is still not fullfillable.

Alternatively, realistically focusing on a single miniaturized test or two until you get consistency with the established reference instruments could provide the foundation for a worthwhile investment by comparison.
Very cool. I think it might benefit from some kind of context. If you could select an open piece, it could restrict the available pieces to what's valid at that point.
Londoners are famously brusque, no? Try holding up a queue and wait for the pleasant greetings.
Thanks! My bad - I'm aiming at casuals + semipro.
Initially, my focus is casuals, and slowly towards semipro as well.
I'm not sure about that - if only because it gives a "large target" for insurers. Underwriting based on health conditions (something that is currently banned in the US for health insurance, but allowed for life/disability insurance) is all about the cost/benefit of searching for data. If a lot of people have data with Google, it might make sense to pay to look at it.

Under US law at least, your health data isn't inaccessible to companies. It just requires your consent for release. That consent is basically baked into the process under a checkbox for the terms of whatever you're trying to buy.

That said, this kind of data is probably uninteresting. Diagnoses & prescription drug fills are probably more indicative (and folks like https://www.rxhistories.com/ helpfully aggregate and standardize the data).
Nature’s Antidepressant: The Dog
For me personally such projects are also about having fun, and I
just like implementing some of those elegant algorithms and
maybe understand them at a deeper level. I don't enjoy pushing
data through some intangible neural network and tweaking it
nearly as much. Especially if it involves reading through the
documentation of some library and the coding is just the
boilerplate required to shovel data in.

That said, everyone has their own preferences and as long as you
are motivated to spend a long time with it you can learn
something from it, even if the improvement isn't noticeable
immediately.
My experience too. In Chicago, saying “hi” is super common. Took me a long time to lose the habit in the Bay Area, and I feel poorer for it.
Well now I'm super curious to know if you read Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. What did you think of it?
As a Tokyo resident I have to disagree with you on both points. Rent is cheap (just don't live right next to Shibuya crossing) and people are incredibly welcoming. Sure, they'll politely ignore you on the train, but that's the same as any big city in the states.
Does QR include some kind of error correction code? That would be far more sophisticated than a checksum, and lead to more salvageable results from bad scans.
In some species at least, it’s not really suicide, more of an all-in reproductive strategy. In these species, a female will stop eating so that she can spend 100% of her life tending to the egg mass, protecting it from predators as well as using her arms to circulate water around the eggs for proper oxygenation (the mass is stationary, usually adhered to rock or an otherwise sheltered crevice).

Unlike fish eggs, octopus eggs generally take several weeks to hatch once fertilized. Going this long without food basically starves the brood mother to death (or makes it exceedingly unlikely that she will be able to recuperate on her own).

I realize you still could describe this as suicide with extra steps, per your comment.
I once wrote a "chess engine" when I was much younger, however as I'm not much of a chess player, it wasn't very good. I encoded all the movement rules for each piece and then programmed the opponent to choose random valid moves. It would pick a random piece, pick a random square to move it to, and if it was considered valid, it would make the move, or pick another square. I think later I reprogrammed it to select 10 random valid moves, and select the one that allowed it to capture the highest value piece.

The great thing was that it worked, and it could "play chess". The sad thing was, I am such a bad chess player that it could still actually beat me around 50% of the time by choosing random moves.
We live only once. Could this uniqueness meant some of life decision must be done without repeating the case billion of time, which obviously s impossible.

I read qm. But does this actually useful for partial info. This is also another life situation where you never have full information.

I still wonder about the intelligence.
> believe it or not despite lack of type checking, big python apps have much less bugs then a comparable c++ app

Despite the lack of static typing, python has memory safety and a GIL; eliminating a much larger class of bugs, so it's not that hard to believe.
Yes terrible place. In fact the whole state bad.
What's funny is that my strategy for chess is randomly moving pieces as well, given I play a little defense when things get close with the queen or rooks.

> not that reasonable in Tokyo

It depends on which part of the 23 wards of Tokyo you refer to. Central Tokyo, yes, it can be expensive, close to Manhattan rents. But farther outside of central Tokyo, you can get very reasonable rents. And there's a lot more options in Tokyo when you factor in reliable public transport and a much larger metro area than the 5 boroughs of NYC.
Difference Between Ref() and Reactive() in Vue 3 Composition API
I hope this gets into ESPhome - that project is amazing.
Other than the insane rents and housing prices (and obviously tempered this year by the pandemic), SF is a very livable city. Tons of stuff within walk distance, great weather all year, lots of interesting distinct neighborhoods, much better than average public transit for the US (still garbage by world standards), lots of restaurant choices, all sorts of "cultural" stuff happening all the time, plenty of neighborhood festivals of one kind of another, etc.

There are certainly some people very concerned about money/status (as you will find anywhere), but SF is also chock full of weird people doing their own thing, much more than most places in the USA.

I say hi to people on San Francisco, but I don’t get discouraged if some don’t respond. There are all sorts of people with wildly divergent circumstances. I’m not or rushing to reach a conclusion about others (or about the overall fate of the city) just because some people don’t say “hi” back.
Very well put, and I feel you expressed my views on this subject more articulately than I could have.
If it’s anything like COVID tests, they will ask for insurance and if you don’t have that they’ll just give you your doses for free. Might depend on the state, however.
I'm pretty sure fire wasn't invented. More likely it was observed (lightning strike/ forest fire/ or similar) and then "kept alive".

The creation of fire with friction or flint spark would be an achievement, but not a terrible surprise for a person already familiar with the fire concept.

> You do not live in a video game. There are no pop-up warnings if you’re about to do something foolish, or if you’ve been going in the wrong direction for too long.

In the good old times most video games weren't like that.

It's a pity that those times are gone, to the point video games are now used as such a comparison point!
Thanks! Just curious if there's something you'd like done faster or something that Vegas doesn't properly offer.

I think async was inevitable for Rust, for better or for worse. My experience is that just using OS-provided threads isn't good enough for say a high performance webserver—compare the pre-tokio hyper benchmark results to the post-tokio ones for example. And Go-like green threads aren't really possible in Rust given the choice to have no runtime. (Having a stack for every coroutine also probably isn't as good for squeezing out that last bit of performance. Every stack/guard page means more TLB pressure, for example, and programs can spend a lot of time on TLB cache misses.) Rust aims to be suitable for high-performance, low-level environments, so here we are.

I agree async has usability problems. Hopefully they'll get better over time; I'm looking forward to eventually having generators rather than dealing with futures::stream::StreamExt and the like.

I don't think everyone needs to use async all the time. Take a web app, for example. If the webserver is directly Internet-facing, it has to deal with lots of keepalive connections, so the core webserver logic (hyper or equivalent) should be async. But if you're not dealing with too many active requests and don't care about the performance difference, I don't think there's any reason you shouldn't have all your request handling just use threads, sending replies to hyper with a channel and blocking when necessary.

Last I checked I couldn't find an ergonomic and efficient "half-async" bounded channel implementation. By which I mean one that allows you to treat the sender as blocking and the receiver as async, or vice versa. That'd be really useful for writing synchronous programs that use async libraries. I certainly don't see any reason one couldn't exist. Maybe it already does and I missed it.

I noticed no difference whatsoever between the two cities regarding how likely strangers on the street are to say hello.
Being pro-democracy can be neutral one year and not the next if a facist leaning president gets elected. ACLU is neutral as in pro-democracy and pro-human rights. Changing political landscapes being for or against what the ACLU stands for has nothing to do with it suddenly not being neutral. Neutral doesn't mean "in the middle of the political spectrum".

Today we have a president that is firmly against the core set of ideals you speak of. That doesn't mean the ACLU should suddenly change their ideals.

>organizations like the ACLU, FSF, and EFF are really only useful if they defend a core set of ideals rather than towing the ever-shifting partisan line

Which are exactly what they are doing. Trump is against those core set of ideals.
I think this is the same for every major american city. I don't know how is Chicago, or LA, but in NYC for sure nobody is saying hi to random folks.
The only time you say hi is to old neighbors (which are few, as people move in and out often), and to the coffee place/restaurant/bar you frequent often.

NYC does have plenty of homeless as well, but the cold clears them up pretty quick. By late November, NYC is too cold, and during the summer it can get too hot.

SF definitely has other major problems. It is just too lenient on crime. NYC has seen somme uptick as well, since last year (pre-covid), and the culprit might be the no-bail reform. While might seen progressive in nature, it is letting out folks that have done multiple crimes back to back, and they return doing the same. SF has implemented this earlier and the uptick in crime is reflecting it:

There was a guy that got arrested 14 times in the last 18 months for car theft. And he is still free:
https://twitter.com/SFPDTenderloin/status/133728051660988416...

When you have car-thieves/robbers running free around, immagine all other lower level of criminals. They know they can operate with impunity and they act accordingly.

Ps. (I lived in SF for 7 years, and now in NYC for 6 years. NYC folks are less friendly in general, and more direct. SF-ers are more polite, but also more flakey).

>I want to see the galaxy and the universe. I want to know what it’s like to be a professional athlete. An ship captain. A state leader. A chef. I don’t want this to end.

I know that feeling. It's like getting invited to a banquet with 5000 dishes from all over and getting to pick 2 or 3.

I was always thinking: wow, if I lived a thousand years, I could spend 50 years on this thing I really like, then 50 on that thing I really like. BUT: we get one of those. And any choice means discarding all the rest. HOW DO YOU PICK?

Since our time is so limited, we need to choose wisely. Realizing that, we have avoided the terrible loss we'd feel later. So you've rediscovered what you've been hiding from and faced it - to your advantage.

A while back I realized that, even if I could buy a jet and throw hundred-dollar bills out the window, I could never visit all the amazing places on Earth for long enough to really absorb them. So hey, I might as well start visiting them on Youtube. That's going well.

Everyone on Earth is in the same boat. In fact, each one of them is very much like another you. Suppose you were reborn without any memory of the self you now call you. Would that be you? Hmmm. Anyway, 'you' would have to ... gather new memories. Make or do or experience new things.

Admitting the truth, we can focus on what's important, making things or doing things or experiencing things. Every artist, nurse, baker, fisherwoman needs an audience. I don't mind just appreciating Nature - the best inventor of them all.

Birds, deer, fish, trees, insects, they're born into a much smaller, less mobile feast. They too die. Did they even have a 'you'? Do they have the luxury of choice?

It could be wrong to say, but at times it seems like some people - even people who 'have everything' - die without having truly lived. What does that mean? We have to decide. What does it mean to live a meaningful life? What's right or wrong, who decides? Enjoy? Raise a family? Help others to a better place? Tend to the sick?

However we ask that question and make that decision and carry through ... then for sure, at the end, we'll know we've made, done, experienced what was within our reach. Time for a new you?
Livability also includes traffic, how much space you have, cleanliness, and safety of public transit.

Is it really the city to start or raise a family in?
- A lot of people watch it with no background knowledge and subsequently don’t quite understand the “best film ever” label, but Citizen Kane is indeed a fantastic film. Just read about Orson Welles first.

- Most religious books that have stood the test of time have lived up to the hype. The Bible (especially certain books like Ecclesiastes or Proverbs), The Quran, The Upanishads, to name a few. Again, don’t just go in blind, or you’ll walk away thinking none of it makes any sense.

- Lifting weights is indeed worth the hype, and its benefits are more diffuse than just “being able to lift heavy things.”

- In terms of old books that are made into modern sci-fi films, I’ve found Philip K. Dick to be absolutely worth the hype. Don’t think I’ve read a bad story by him.

Not sure why too many haven't chimed in here but damn this is a awesome platform! Thanks for providing it open src!

I wrote you a separate email .....

Some features that would be great for mediaCMS:

-OpenCV for facial and object recognition for auto identification and categorizing

-Read image/video metadata to auto title generation instead of IMG_12324_433.jpg

-A.I. to group and create a story from pics/vids based on time/location/faces etc...

and/or make it extensiveable so one could create plugins? You could create your own app store for your platform. Great way to monetize.

I like when people say « Apple products are way overpriced! » – That is the price point when the company sells the raw iPhone with no partnerships inside. In 2006 most phones were feature phones, locked-in with the phone operator. Apple’s strategy has always been to be independent. It costs more to the end-user, but the end-user is the sole buyer. Their strategy is the same with Facebook: Thanks to their independence, Apple can decide in favor of the consumer.
I've been amused to watch how Rust now does a simple blocking HTTP request. A few years ago, you used the "hyper" crate, which was a convenient wrapper around the "http" crate. Now, you're supposed to use "reqwest", which is a convenient wrapper around the "hyper" crate.

"Reqwest" uses the Tokio machinery, even for a blocking request.
If you turn on "Trace" level logging, you can watch it start up a thread pool and go through a 35-step process, using all the async and futures machinery, to do one synchronous request. Log messages include "handshake complete, spawning background dispatcher task" and "signaled close for runtime thread (ThreadId(2))"

This seems excessive.
> San Francisco is functionally divided into a set of groups that, as far as I can tell, rarely talk to each other. [...] SF has all the pieces of a kaleidoscopically diverse city, and yet the pieces don’t talk to each other. They walk the same streets but they live in parallel, non-interacting universes.

This reminds me of how LA is often described, to bring up a rival city that us NorCal denizens might bristle at being compared to. LA County is a hugely diverse area, but each distinct ethnic and immigrant group has its own enclave, its own self-sustaining community. So the need for them to intermingle is lessened.
