Strawman. Suppose you are market maker and never have to pay a dime in fees. Morover, anything lost on spread is immediately refunded.

If you have strategy that very quickly loses money in this harsh conditions, you have a winner.
I know nothing about trading, so forgive me in advance - but I assumed the point of the article is to break it down a bit more specifically. What causes you to lose money quickly, what's the program doing - how do you stop it from doing those things?

If you start to remove the roads to failure you're kind of forced onto the road to success - or at least a place where you're not falling into the places you're planning around.
EUV is the unknown here. It helps skip a lot of density doubling steps, so we might see a quick catch-up.
HN loves this idea of thinking in reverse. Is anyone here actually doing it? What problem did you solve?
> oftentimes you can use the “opposite“ of that strategy, so to speak, to make money

The opposite of Robinhooding might be buying a smattering of stocks and holding until infinity. It’s better than constantly trading options, a consistently losing strategy. But I wouldn’t call it a winner.

That's surprising and fascinating. Is there a formal body of work on nostalgia in business?
Ask HN: Is there an ideal day of the week to apply for a job?
Started applying for roles recently and was wondering about this.

Friday seems less ideal to me, being the end of the work week and perhaps managers/hr aren't too keen to open such emails.

There is the risk that notifications and emails will get buried over the weekend in other communications.

By this logic I feel Monday morning is the best time. Anyone agree/disagree?

EDIT: Am I over thinking this?

I used to keep a seperate windows desktop but that was a long time ago, now I have a new gaming rig (Linux) which is also my workstation, and my old windows desktop is now an htpc running fedora.

I'm assuming you need to unplug the battery to set the "true" time? Else you might be adjusting the "I'm in my +10 minutes phase" (for early clock, f.ex), turning it into late clock. (?)
Since the "nm" numbers are just marketing anyway, I think they don't mean much in regards to how small we can go. We can go small until the actual smallest feature size hits physical limitations, which is so decoupled from the nm number that we can't possibly tell how close "7nm" is (well, I mean, we can, there's a cool youtube video showing the transistors and measuring feature size with a scanning electron microscope, but I mean we can't tell just from the naming/marketing).

Out of curiosity I just ran some counts using `jq` on our metadata[0]:
We seem to have published 48 articles overall[1], of which 22 list at least one of our editors as an author. 10 of those list an editor as the first author. That leaves 26 articles entirely from outside the editorial team. Those are indeed predominantly from the more recent years; I'll try to perform an aggregation to quantify that.

[0] I'm sure there are more elegant ways to form these queries: https://gist.github.com/ludwigschubert/cd2bc4686e3fc6c8202c8...

[1] excluding editorial updates; if that still seems high: this includes every individual article in a "thread"; check out the [Differentiable Self-organizing Systems](https://distill.pub/2020/selforg/) thread, the [Circuits](https://distill.pub/2020/circuits/) thread, or the [Discussion of Adversarial Examples Are Not Bugs, They Are Features](https://distill.pub/2019/advex-bugs-discussion/).
"Standing army" used to be an epithet, a sign that a society had lost its way. The best military we've ever had was the one we built from scratch for WWII. They curbstomped two actual "evil empires". Everything we've had since has been a pale imitation, not fit to wear the same uniform. That's because in WWII we were trying to win, and ever since then we've been trying to spend money.

If we demobilized, we'd probably never really need to remobilize. (What, are the Nazis going to rise again?) But if we did, we could.
I understand and respect your position, and think there are some merits to it, but I personally believe it's unnecessary. Typically the 'public persons' within public orgs are their senior / high-ranking officials (e.g. chief of police; director of engineering), and often are directly elected (e.g. county sheriff). If there are grievances to be had within some public sector, we as citizens can and should demand responses from the leaders of those organizations. I don't think making it easy to harass low ranking public employees is a good tradeoff for whatever is gained by requiring them to have a public profile. I think most public servants (mid/low-level employees) should be entitled to the same level of privacy as everyone else.
I have a hunch that it would be much greater than 50% if the software was recompiled to take advantage of the newer instruction sets. Then again, you won't be comparing exact binary copies of software, which some people might say invalidates it as a benchmark/comparison.

I remember many, many years ago my PC couldn't run the latest adobe software as I was missing SSE2 instructions on my then current CPU. I believe there was some hidden compatability mode, but the software ran extremely poorly vs. the version of software that was out before that didn't require SSE2.
> the way to do that is just to churn my book a lot and pay costs and spreads

Iterate the question. Assuming a limited number of trades per quarter and a cap on spreads and commissions, how would one maximally lose money?
I read on HN that flow is achieved when work is only upto a certain level of difficulty for you. Flow is achieved because you can create comfortably and still feel like working through a challenge. If it's easier it doesn't feel like a challenge anymore, more difficult and it puts you out of the zone.

Isn’t this basically just a failure mode and effects analysis?
I used to use steam on linux, it was great, the wndows compatibility of proton was fantastic - I would often get better perf than on Windows! I dropped my dual boot and all was good.

Unfortunately I had to help my partner debug some code using CUDA and had to move to the 64 bit only drivers for whatever compatibility. Steam requires 32-bit still, too much hassle to get them both running. As such I've basically dropped my gaming habit, throwing £50/mo elsewhere now!
So basically, you think that destroying lives of millions people as a training exercise is a good idea and makes America somehow noble?
I’d also like some evidence for this. If moderna or biontech researcher were specifically using knowledge from gain of function research that would shift my view on the cost/benefit analysis.

So far all I’ve seen is a bunch of handwaving about “advancing the science.”
> anything lost on spread is immediately refunded

This is unrealistic and produces fantasy strategies. Capping spreads over a unit of time is more realistic. That said, this way of thinking, iterated with discipline, does lead to a decent portfolio strategy. (Though not necessarily an outperforming one.)

Many PC motherboards have a TPM header either dedicated or sometimes shared with the USB 3.0 header.

You can buy a 20 pin TPM module for about £3 which can plug into the standard header and for about £7-8 for those snowflakes like ASUS that use the same 20 pin interface but with a slightly modified pin out.

The only question would be the BIOS initialization, but many OEMs have already released new BIOS revisions with added/better external TPM support or have announced their intention to do so.

For those system who don’t have a TPM header, Intel PTT and AMD’s PSP fTPM would provide the required compatibility.

And this is a good thing if this was still optional it would not put pressure on manufacturers to add TPM support as a standard feature.

Windows 10 will be supported to at least 2025 with feature updates and probably longer with critical security updates.

The fact that people complain about this is ridiculous.
It was interesting working at microsoft next to some folks that were around in the Itanium days and worked on it. Hearing their stories and theories was really cool. I wonder if now is the time of alternative ISAs given that JIT and other technologies have gotten so good
My own personal experience (with a server that has SPF/DKIM/DMARC all set up, and not listed on public RBLs) has been that GMail, Hotmail, Comcast, and Charter have not been problems.

On the other hand, AT&T is most definitely a problem. They run their own internal RBL, and the best I can guess is that they're blocking Linode. Any mail I send to an AT&T customer gets bounced, and forwarding that bounce to the address they indicate it should be sent to to get delisted accomplishes nothing.
Vue has vuex, so there's a need for actions and reducers. React state has become much simpler with packages like zustand and it works wonderfully with typescript.

It's not really that big of a deal to have another import. Vue's directive's (not sure if that's the correct term) are a mix bag of magic strings that tie to functions somehow. Why can't they just be a function variable like in React? The answer of course is there are smart people and smart users behind both projects and those are the trade-offs we tolerate.
What's the best Linux laptop option these days? Are there any with decent build quality, solidness, aesthetics, and reliability compared to recent Macs?

Also how's hardware support? Last time I used Linux on a desktop, admittedly a few years ago, I still had to futz around with wireless and video drivers routinely.
I was in the same boat regarding polluting my development environment - nowadays Steam's Wine/Proton stuff is completely containerized and just works ("Steam Runtime").
Congrats, you are reinventing part of VueJS, in a non standard, untested, undocumented, less readable way. But wait, you need another lambda to pass arguments to foo() should it change. And another wrapper for stopPropagation. And so on, and so on.

And now you have to install and manage deps, import them, while your blob is still less readable because you have maps+lambda+&& to understand before even reaching what DOM element you are manipulating.

The premise of React is that composing primitives is better than having a high level tool to do the job: it's supposed to be more generic, more flexible, easier to learn.

In in my experience, it's true only in the case you don't have a well defined problem. But with frontend UI, we do. We know very well the problem to solve. Give me helpers. Give me wrappers. That's the only case where I welcome a DSL.

I don't want to have to think in functions and workflow in my template.
For every couple "just works" cases there is a corresponding "doesn't work at all". Given the diversity of the PC as a hardware platform there are going to be edge cases. There is no avoiding that. I'm fairly certain there are cases where hardware "just works" on Linux but doesn't do so on Windows either because there is no driver any more, or because the driver is borked, or any other reason. And here's my anecdote: the wifi on a windows laptop I had once kept dying or dropping packets randomly. Turned out the shitty Killer wifi driver was doing some kind of "optimisation" <insert hand-waving here> to improve throughput. It took a lot of google-fu to find out what the problem was. And this is where I believe you are wrong wrt the command line. The command line is a powerful diagnostic tool and having text files as configuration is much more accessible than delving into a 13-level deep registry chain.

Now, I'm not claiming that everything is smooth sailing on Linux, because it isn't, but the "I've spend hours trying to debug something" argument can be said for both sides and if it comes to that the mythical "average user" won't be able to sort it out by themselves in either case, command line or not.
Would you rather have a government agency assign credit scores? The abuses would be rampant. Right now there is one party openly pushing to restrict voting access to people who are likely to vote for the other party, and a few years ago that same party enacted a new tax code that almost surgically penalized the residents of states that supported the other party; do you really trust such politicians to set up a fair credit rating system? I can see the headlines already: "SCOTUS rules 6-3 in favor of GOP effort to depress credit scores in Democrat-leaning cities," or perhaps, "Northeast states fear wave of foreclosures following GOP overhaul of credit score bureau," or maybe, "Whistleblower: President pressured credit rating agency to attack CNN, NYT reporters."

Equifax and the other ratings agencies have plenty of problems, but none of those problems are solved by having the government run things and many new problems would be introduced.

On a small scale I find this way of thinking useful in software development.

Say that you are implementing a role-based access control system.

And then ask yourself how can my RBAC system fail?

Well one way it could fail is if someone without the necessary role can operate on something that they ought not have access to.

So then create roles A, B, and C, and create a resource and say that group A can rw, and group B can r this resource. Then create a user and give that user role C. And then try to use this user in that role and try to read the resource. If it can, fail the test. Then another test where you try to write using such a user. If the resource was modified, fail the test.

This is as opposed to only thinking about what you want to happen, in which case you might be writing tests that only ensure that those that should be able to read/write can do so. And of course you want to test that too. But ensuring that those that should not be able to access a resource cannot is the more important thing to be sure of, and also the type of thing that might slip by unnoticed.

A system where those that should be able to access resources cannot, this will be detected in normal operation anyway, by way of users performing their usual tasks. But accessing resources you should not is the most critical and could go by unnoticed for a long time.

And that is why the tests that are written in the backwards thinking fashion are the most important ones.
To everyone reading this who feels uneasy about this, has broader concerns about the direction of desktop computing generally and Microsoft Windows specifically I say this: "give Linux a go".

You may not like it, you may go back to Windows and decide that the dark patterns are worth the cost of things 'just working' etc, but I implore you to at least give it a go. Burn a Live USB. Boot it up and have a look around. If you're coming from Windows 10, try Linux mint or anything with the 'Cinnamon' Desktop.

I say this mostly because the Hackernews crowd is generally pro-Linux as a concept, but sceptical of Linux as a daily driver. Those that do use it as a daily driver will (in my anecdotal experience) have been using it for 5-10 years or more and will have been used to making a good deal of compromises, or are tech savvy enough to have been able to fix things in the bad times.

But in the last few years desktops have gotten really good. You will likely find one that you like out of the latest versions of Cinnamon, KDE or Gnome. Or MATE/XFCE/LMQT if you want to go back for a lightning-quick old school feel.

Since 2018, thousands of games now work. It's now 'good enough' for pretty much all single player games. I ask people who haven't tried Linux since before then to have another try (or at the very least to look up the games they play on ProtonDB to see if they would work nowadays).

In short, a larger (albeit probably still small) number of people who would have jumped the Windows ship in 2015 instead of going to 10 will actually be able to do so now instead of upgrading to Windows 11.

Dark table is incredibly impressive for free open source software.
And despite this, most companies are trying to get senior software developers for the AppSec programs but can't because they don't want to pay senior software developer salaries, or even software developer salaries. So the positions remain open, month after month, sometimes year after year.

I've been told several times this is because AppSec is considered by higher management to be mostly a clerical type position or at best, Application Support. Which would be fine if that were the level of experience and bundle of skills they were trying to hire, but it's not. What makes things even more difficult is that many companies have a policy of only hiring citizens and permanent residents for these positions but have outsource rates floating in their heads.

If you want to have an AppSec group populated with people who can explain (and often argue) security vulnerabilities in the code of others, you're going to have to pay for someone with enough experience to do so credibly (or you'll lose buy-in from developers) and knowledgably (so you're not wasting developer time with false positives).
In the case of trading, removing the known roads to failure is no guarantee that you are now on the road to success. There are many MANY ways to fail in finance and more are being invented every day.

I suspect (but cannot prove) that this is because financial markets are "PvP" instead of "PvE", you trade against intelligent humans who can and do adapt their strategies to what they observe to be the strategy of other players in the market. If there is any form of rock-paper-scissors dynamic, this means that there will never be a stable strategy that keeps winning and so the method from the article will not work.

In most engineering problems OTOH, you are basically fighting against the environment. This can still be very difficult (see rocket science for example) but at least the laws of physics don't change from day to day. So, any progress in solving the problem you made yesterday will remain.

Successful application of the TRIZ method requires that the problem remains relatively stable, so that the options you "chip away" remain poor options forever. The markets are not like this and neither, I think, is career design.
oh. That's a bit disappointing.

I was envisioning a clock where the second hand dragged the others every time it passed over. So the minute hand would only move when swept over by the minute hand, for as far as it needed to revolve. Similarly, the hour hand.

I would be nice if the minute hand moved the hour hand, but that would be noticeably inaccurate.

I didn't, I specifically wrote "appears to" to prevent doing that.

But where do you get this idea from that nobody is allowed to have any kind of opinion on past events, when that opinion is colored by modern day standards? This is not an objective historical essay we are writing here, it's just random comments on the internet.

Nobody is "fighting" anything, the Romans are long gone. Also, nobody is "offended" by what they did. As I admitted in another reply, that was not the correct word to use.

It is a bit confusing to me what the point is that you are trying to make, if it is not what I assumed it was.
> Microsoft does allow you many, many options to guard your privacy within Windows 10—but it’s also betting you won’t bother.

I think this sums up the issues I have with most of the discussions where "consumer choice" or "personal responsibility" are touted.

Yes, those are valid and important concepts - but if a company is emphasizing "choice" while at the same time having a vital interest that people "choose" against their own interests (or even manipulating people to that effect), the argument becomes obvious bullshit.

It's like food companies emphasizing "consumer choice" whenever stricter regulations are on the table, yet at the same time opposing anything that would actually allow consumers to make an informed choice (like easy to understand nutrition labels).
Ah, yes, thank you, I was a bit unsure about that word!
