Seems like without any sentiment analysis, there’s a strong correlation with daily trading volume, but not as strong with actual stock price. Still, they manage to build a model+trading strat that outperforms DJIA by about 5% over 90 days.

I’m always curious what the cost and feasibility would be to implement these simulated trading strategies. Seems to me you would need a couple more things to actually do this: 1. Consistent access to near-real-time tweets or other scraped blog content at very low cost via an API, and 2. A service that allows you to make very frequent automated trades at very low cost, also via an API. Or a better modeling strat that knows how to find the features that correlate with a steady increase in price over time to reduce required trading volume.

I assume this is basically what high freq trading is, but the cost of access to those two services is probably so large that you need your base capital to be in the tens of millions, or to have a ridiculously performant model (like +20% vs indices) to actually make a profit.
That "before the company begins to doubt your competency" message in the last screenshot is not exactly giving me warm fuzzy feelings about the app :)
Then organize and lobby the governor to overrule them. Unelected beaurocrats should not have broad power like this.

My point is to put pressure on the people in power, not to blindly follow and then just mutter under your breath that you’re mad. They do not give a single crap if people are mad unless their power is threatened. Stand up for yourselves for crying out loud.

If you redefine conscious as "it follows the laws of physics", then electron are conscious, rocks are conscious, tree are conscious, cows are conscious and humans are conscious.

Does consciousness implies a minimal memory? If electrons has at least one bit of memory, you can test that using quantum mechanics. Let's suppose that after seeing a positron the memory bit is flipped and the electrons became "scared" electrons (for some time?).

You can split an electron beam in two entangled beams, "scare" one half, and then look at the interference patterns. Also, you can make Helium with 2 normal electrons and 2 "scared" electrons that will be very different from normal Helium.
I find all of this hilarious as what I've learned about audio production is that delays are used as equalizers, comb filtering effect used in practice. Not just on analogue devices, I was told once by (AFAIR?) Drumgizmo devs that digital as well!

It used to make me sad that by the time my kids were old enough to cycle up big mountains, I might be too old/unfit to join them... but the massive growth in the last few years of electric bikes (mountain and road) makes me really excited that I actually might be able to keep up. I don't know if e-bikes would help given your condition, but if you haven't tried one, it might be worth a shot - they're amazing

Viable alternatives were long gone. I really miss the days of Symbian and Meego, phones that are hackable yet intuitive to use (I.e. Nokia N900, N9).

Realistically now we have Tizen and Jolla OS, which had backings from Samsung but nobody gave two damn about it.

I bet even if any of these vanilla mobile OS gets big enough they’ll get bought by the 3 giants and suffocated to death just like how Microsoft sniped Nokia.
If a phone calls the API "hello, I found some porn here" the phone (and/or it's owner) become a "person of interest" very quickly.

(I'll wager) The majority of these calls will be false positives. Now a load of resources get deployed to keep an eye on the device's owner, wasting staff time and compute, wasting (tax funded) government budget that could have gone towards proper investigation.
I am shocked as well that intergenerational wealth building is not a thing. I mean do people really think 'I was poor/had to earn everything so my kids should have it the same way'?
What I'm guessing here is that the column is text-biased and so what's being compared is "2" to 10, and the implicit cast is "2" > "10" because strings are compared char by char left to right.

In schemas, when you define a column as integer or float, input is interpreted this way WHEN POSSIBLE (i.e. with 1 and 2 it's possible, but if you pass "foo" it'll be stored as a text attribute, obviously).

What people should know with SQLite is that it's flexible about types, and stores everything you pass, but it still cares what the column type is and it affects how it interprets input.

> "Impossible to leave" is not a matter of closed or open, but it's a matter of social networks in general. You could make Facebook free software and its problems wouldn't disappear.

Not true. If you have interoperability between different networks, you can leave. This is how ActivityPub (e.g. Mastodon, PeerTube, PixelFed) works.

> Not to mention that, again, 99% of people will get vendor-locked because in the end nobody wants to run their own instance of a federated social network.

You just switch to any other instance, because Mastodon doesn't prevent you from doing that.

We need both. You cannot force Facebook to allow interoperability when there is no other social network.

> You can verify any small part and rely on the community to verify the rest. Or pay someone to verify.

The only difference in this is who you trust. Be it Apple, the community or someone you pay, you're still trusting that someone else's interests align with yours and they did things correctly.

In other words, this is not a technical problem. It's a problem that needs to be solved through regulation, because 99% of the people can't verify by themselves that their devices are actually private and secure.

And it's not going to fly for very long because Apple has over half of the smart phone users in the United States. This is the reason we have anti-trust laws. They're going to be knocked down a few notches soon in my opinion.

Note that COBOL does exist outside of mainframe systems. Peoplesoft is a fairly popular HR Payroll package and works on what they call distributed systems as well (windows Linux Unix rtc). I've worked on various peoplesoft systems over the years and they include a mixture of "modern" but proprietary languages (peoplecode, application engine) as well as legacy (Cobol, sqr). Currently on a project that implements them on Unix,serving 350k self service employees. Data issues are indeed our number one type of defect. I wonder how much that is language vs environment that language is typically deployed - I.e. Our own reasons for data being our number one issue seem external, but maybe there's data handling capabilities, or lack thereof, that we are blind to.
Having known many victims of sexual violence and trafficking, I feel for the folks that honestly want that particular kind of crime to stop. Humans can be complete scum. Most folks in this community may think they know how low we can go, but you are likely being optimistic.

That said, law enforcement has a nasty habit of having a rather "binary" worldview. People are either cops, or uncaught criminals. ..and they wonder why they have so much trouble making non-cop friends (DISCLAIMER: I know a number of cops).

With that worldview, it can be quite easy to "blur the line" between child sex traffickers, and parking ticket violators. I remember reading a The Register article, about how anti-terrorism statutes are being abused by local town councils to do things like find zoning violations (for example, pools with no CO).

Misapplied laws can be much worse than letting some criminals go. This could easily become a nightmare, if we cede too much to AI.

And that isn't even talking about totalitarian regimes, run by people of the same ilk as child sex traffickers (only wearing Gucci, and living in palaces).

”Any proposal must be viewed as follows. Do not pay overly much attention to the benefits that might be delivered were the law in question to be properly enforced, rather one needs to consider the harm done by the improper enforcement of this particular piece of legislation, whatever it might be.”

Yes, I saw the Swiss apostrophes in the Wikipedia article that question links to (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator#Examples_of_...), but there are no backticks mentioned there (hence my question). The only times I've seen backticks or grave accents used in place of apostrophes, it's been done consistently (I'm guessing some keyboard layouts don't have apostrophes?), while orangepanda used an apostrophe too, as if the backticks were a deliberate choice.
There's a number of issues with the US Navy:

- contrary to expectations, US military branches always start off slow in an actual war, then rapidly strengthen historically. However the US does not have the capability today to replace ships lost during a war.

(Losing the $3B Bonhomme Richard was a bigger deal than reported, since it will take a decade to build another one.)

- there were some US navigation mishaps in the past 5 years that showed basic skills and leadership were below expectations. I would not call that a funding problem, more like a training and evaluation problem.

- China is a unique adversary - they have a total of 20,000 ships and large boats which can be used to blockade their regional seas. They have no actual battle experience, which is why Xi has constant exercises.

Almost all of the long-range missiles in their parades were built to attack US carriers - using our money and capital markets to fund them. (We need large laser weapons to counter those numbers.)

Thinking of my life as a tradeoff between time, energy, and money [1] was a key factor towards my decision to take a 1-year sabbatical as of June.

Moderna: Covid vaccine booster produced ‘robust’ immune response against delta
I don't think this is a fair characterization; it should not be most people's life goal to fight for their privacy against big companies. Some people make it theirs, and that's fine, but I think it's def not something to expect from most people, in the same way that you don't expect everyone to be actively fighting for clean tap water or drivable roads.

Instead, we as a collective decided to offload these tasks to the government and make broad decisions through voting. This allows us to focus on other things (at work, with our actual job, at home, you can focus with what matters for you, whatever that might be).

For instance, I tried to avoid Facebook for a while and it was working well, I just missed few acquaintances but could keep in touch with the people who matter for me. Then suddenly they acquired Whatsapp. What am I to do? Ask my grandmother and everyone in between to switch to Telegram? Instead, I'm quite happy as a European about the GDPR and how the EU is regulating companies in these regards. It's definitely not yet there, but IMHO we are going in the right direction.

It’s pretty clearly the current best way to do deep learning on molecules in chemistry. Transformers do really well in predicting reaction outcomes but GCNNs are still better when it comes to “is this a good molecule according to this label” type questions.

> Sure there are (for some definition of "most important parts). Take a look at GNUstep for a start.

I was following and trying to use GNUstep 15 years ago, and they were constantly chasing a moving target and were not managing to catch up. (Plus naturally the reimplementation bugs, plus the differences in interpretation of the "spec" which forced the programmer to be very careful and not take shortcuts.)

That's the huge issue when you are trying to reproduce an API which is not under your control by any mean, and is still alive and changing.
