Well, not anymore because it is against the law...but I think it is acknowledged that it is still going on (it is very hard to prove because you have to prove what someone's intention was when they entered the order). But the speed at which they can trade is obviously an issue by itself.

Afaik though, human traders have been spoofing on Eurex since the late-90s (Paul Rotter most infamously). And no-one looked at the order book and assumes it is bona fide because humans understand human reasoning, the issue was HFTs who use that as an input to their pricing model. You have iceberg orders, they are basically reverse spoofing, and it is how most institutions execute large trades...they don't put a huge order in one go because it will get picked off by HFTs, they break up the order into lots of 100 shares or whatever, so no-one uses the order book now anyway because HFTs will pick you off if you do (again, that is why spoofing was made illegal, the only way HFTs can pick you off is if a regulator has banned false bid/offers).

And how is that different from spoofing? If I know I need 100k shares but I am bidding 100 lots at a time then I am hiding my intention just like a spoofer (and btw, doing this will get you fined in some OTC markets...if you tell your broker I need 10k shares and you take his offer, and you then say you need another 10k shares then you get reported...at least it is totally clear in that instance that the rules exist to stop brokers losing money). Again, the market is run by HFTs who are just trying to make the most money by doing the least amount of work, part of which is tilting the rules in their favour so no-one can hide their intention from their algos.

The Five Whys are a great as a tool for personal introspection, but in business it seems to become an exercise in chaotic story telling, with the final "answer" highly dependent on the initial assumptions.

Let's take this in a different direction:

> "Why did our code break?" "Because we habitually ship things without thoroughly testing them."

.... or "Because Bob didn't write proper tests for his patch, so the bug it introduced went undetected"

It obviously would suck to be Bob here, but the point is there is no single right answer to any of the whys and each choice along the way will lead us down very different narrative paths.

You can't achieve greater certainly simply by chaining multiple uncertain statements together.

This paper the article refers to is fantastic! I think it's a work most in ML research should become familiar with. And if you believe in the power of benchmarks and data, then this holds even more true. Investing in diversity in datasets is likely an impactful way to make progress in AI/ML.

Minor typo in this article...

ARTICLE: Among their findings – based on core data from the Facebook-led community project Papers With Code (PWC) – the authors contend that ‘widely-used datasets are introduced by only a handful of elite institutions’, and that this ‘consolidation’ has increased to 80% in recent years.

...but right after, they quote the paper and clearly it is 50% not 80%. See the quote from the paper:

PAPER: ‘[We] find that there is increasing inequality in dataset usage globally, and that more than 50% of all dataset usages in our sample of 43,140 corresponded to datasets introduced by twelve elite, primarily Western, institutions.’

...and the article is leaving out this relevant quote from the paper:

PAPER: Moreover, this concentration on elite institutions as measured through Gini has increased to over 0.80 in recent years (Figure 3 right red). This trend is also observed in Gini concentration on datasets in PWC more generally (Figure 3 right black).

...and in general the article is right that inequality is increasing over time, but Gini is a specific metric to measure inequality, and 0.80 is not the same as 80% inequality.
OK. The reason all this happening is that Bitcoin really did go to the moon. That's what powers all this speculation. If the price of Bitcoin had been stable for a decade, and it worked reliably, it would be a useful medium of exchange, but nobody would care. This is all about MAKE MONEY FAST.

Bitcoin found some early use cases. Drugs first. Then getting money out of China. Money laundering. Tax evasion. Scams. Bitcoin is the scammers dream - remote, anonymous, irreversible transactions. Much less risk of the mark coming for the scammer with a baseball bat.

Then China cracked down on cryptocurrency, shut down all the miners, and arrested a few hundred of them. Financial regulators in the more legit countries started regulating Bitcoin exchanges, so the operators couldn't just steal the money. Know Your Customer became a thing. In the US, the IRS, FinCen, the FBI, and the SEC all started paying attention to what was happening on blockchains. Cryptocurrency crime was no longer risk-free for the crooks.

But by now, sheer momentum kept Bitcoin going up. That's a powerful force. It's not forever, though. Check out meme stocks a few years later. Remember, all this stuff is zero-sum. For every winner, there has to be a loser.

That's what provides the engine behind "Web3", NFTs, DAOs, and whatnot. It's not the technology.
Bloomberg had a video about this, one of their journalists wrote a book about him. The conclusion of that book was that Sarao didn't break the markets, and it was probably not necessary to throw the book at someone who was mentally disabled because some incompetent prosecutors needed a scapegoat. If you only read about Sarao within the context of the Flash crash, you will get the wrong idea.
This is still the strongest apple advantage: design, engineering and build quality.

Recently I wanted to buy a second notebook so I could leave my MBPro at home in trips where I didn't want to work, but still had a machine that run linux and windows for some quick idea or even some light gaming.

Decided for a Samsung Galaxy Book Pro. Expensive machine, but slightly cheaper than a MacBook Air. good i7 11gen processor, excellent battery life, very light but with surprisingly good thermals, 1tb SSD, but unfortunately no option to have it with more than 16GB RAM.

Anyway, was very satisfied with it, and it was so light that I was even booting it with linux and doing some programming on it.

But, one day I just opened the lid by the sides, heard a crack, and the gorgeous OLED screen had cracked.

Of course I didnt abuse it, I just opened it, without excessive force or speed. But the screen is very fragile, the lid is paper thin, but not rigid enough, it seems, to avoid this problem.

And of course, Samsung says it was my fault, and I will have to pay the fix.

And yes, I know people have plenty of complaints about apple, but I never had encountered such an obvious problem with an Apple product. Have they not stress-tested this stuff?
You pay with your wasted time and energy, and potential loss of focus as to what you came to the site to actually read.

>Grand Duchy of Moscow pushing Crimean Tatars out of Kyiv? What?

i said nothing of sort.

>"The process" where Russia entered the game was actually massive (and successful) Kozak rebellion against Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in lands that you are alleging were "mostly unpopulated" at the time.

The Kozaks - runaway serves, criminals, and just various "free will" people - were there precisely because it was wild unpopulated area.

For the language - i stated my personal opinion. You have different, and as a person and as a country you're naturally entitled to speak whatever way you like and think whatever you like about it. Anyway in a few generations the divide will grow large and deep enough that the question will become moot. Enjoy a bit of humor (while about Ukranian, it is naturally applies to almost any language in use by large population) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukonBMs0WM0

>Anyway, Moscow was an insignificant outpost during Mongol invasion and Grand Duchy of Moscow is what eventually became Tsardom of Russia, not Novgorod.

It is the first time i see somebody excludes Novgorod from Russian history.

> Doesn't mean I doubt Vladimir the Great existed.

Sounds to me like you'd be ok if that dynasty was called "Vladimirovichi" (or "Svyatoslavichi" or "Igorevichi" for the Rurik's grandson or son) instead of "Rurikovichi". I don't see what is the difference though.
How does proof of stake help defend end users against nation states? It sounds like it does the complete opposite.
Love to see it on the top of HN. To Popper!

"Popper has argued (I think successfully) that a scientific idea can never be proven true, because no matter how many observations seem to agree with it, it may still be wrong. On the other hand, a single contrary experiment can prove a theory forever false."

But then how do we decide which theory is worth taking the time to criticize?--I think this is where David Deutsch comes in. Redefining scientific progress in therms of "hard-to-vary explanations". No need to eat a pound of grass to test if it cures the common cold, because it's an easy-to-vary and doesn't _explain why_ it works (eg why not a pound of rosemary or a pint of beer)? Seems like a pretty obvious thing, perhaps, but then why is homeopathy such a huge industry?

What percentage come from right turns? Is it less than a third of ledt turns, and thus three right turns is safer than one left? Probably more efficient: should map software offer a “limit left turns” option?
Actually ISO mentions both. (Of course they don't define it because the standard unit would for volume would be m³.) So maybe usage really depends on country, I have lived and worked in several European countries, all of them use a small letter.

What you're skipping is that it was a tiny fine. $3 per incident! Small amounts of money can be really distorting that way. Paying a full day's salary for the consultation is not the same, and it's pretty likely it would increase the company's respect of their time.
Hmm I stopped watching football because it was only the rich teams winning everything. I'm not sure if it's great entertainment though. Watching 2 hours to see your team lose (or worse, get 0-0) is not a good feeling. I normally only watch the German national team because they win big and lose big.
The guards are most of the concern here.
As of Dec 6, 2021, no changes for me, I'm still seeing dislike thumbs-down on youtube (and its count), I can click it and see the increment. They might only be removing it for individuals they don't want clicking dislike? Evidently that would be many of you.
Why am I still allowed? I'll take a guess ...

They like my dislikes since I frequently 'dislike' videos I actually like as a strategy, I do so specifically for truth-tellers that I figure youtube doesn't like, for two reasons:

(1) I write algorithms and thus know it causes pain for YT algorithm writers, going ... crud, the pattern is not as easy as expected so now I have to write another exception/condition. Each one makes their code more complex of course and a little bit less maintainable.
(2) To help protect the content creator from rising to top of the list for getting canceled as the higher the views combined with the ratio of likes/dislikes the more likely humans in the office will be talking about them and drool over dropping the axe.

I'm subscribed to over 200 channels but many are truth-tellers. Others are science/engineering/computing but some are even lefties, and of those, when they are pushing the official narrative bull, sometimes I upvote (the opposite of what I really think).

For 1+ years I've been saving my comments to be able to prove in court some day that I am civil yet often shadow-banned (2.48 MB today). Anyone can sue via the Sherman Antitrust Act etc etc in Federal court for collusion and so on.

(YT likes people trying to viciously tear each other's throats out, good times, but posting intelligent informative content does not serve to create a wonderfully dumb underclass. Yesterday for example, someone had asked how to really understand voltage, was asking for help and my reply was deleted immediately).
Ah, if kentonv can't delete his comment due to replies, he's already doxx'd, so yeah, no point.

Thanks for clarifying that!
I wonder if someone has drawn a graph for the collapse based on tweets.
It really depends on what you view as safe! I agree that 2% seems really low for locking money into a risky asset. But the fact is that everything with more yield than that right now has an unknown level of risk attached to it. Here's an interesting podcast from today that essentially argues for just holding cash right now: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-12-06/richard-b...
> Here in Poland it is illegal to drive your car with the vision from the rear view mirror obstructed. That only makes sense if the side mirrors are not supposed to cover same angles as rear view mirror.

It's physically impossible for your side mirrors to show exactly what your rear view mirror does (since there's a whole car in the way...), so no matter how your side mirrors are adjusted, your rear view mirror is serving a function and shouldn't be obscured.

And the mirrors work the opposite of how you think:

If you point your side mirrors and your rear mirror at the road behind you, they will show you different views, not the same: https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/attachments/road-safety/14154...

If you point your side mirror so they show you the side of your car, they will show you an overlapping view of what your rear view mirror does on top of significantly reducing what you see on either side of your car: https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/attachments/road-safety/14154...

In the EU the driver's side mirror is allowed to be convex which is all the more reason to not waste a large portion of the view on looking at the side of your car. There should be just barely any of your car visible in your driver side mirror
It has been proven in lots of European countries with the ticket system (X times you do something deemed bad enough inside Y years you have to get another expensive drivers license). I'd bet that you could likely pick any EU country and see the difference before and after the system got implemented. Of course a lot of people in the US sees driving a car as a right, not a privilege. Without the risk of loosing your license and it being at least semi expensive and hard to get any system is pretty useless.
SIMD support is almost complete. The documentation is still lacking, and some functions are still missing.
Never written a book, but I have written a few reports in Latex, and I would say it is a miserable experience. Slow build times, horrible error messages, and so much markup for everything.

I have taken the stance that all writing should happen in Markdown/Asciidoc/Pandoc/whatever minimal flavor you like and once content is complete, then port everything to Latex if necessary. Pandoc can spit out a reasonable .tex file you can then massage into a final product.
In the northern hemisphere? My theory is in spring/summer/fall people are hanging out outside, and as winter comes they think "I've been fine socializing the last few months, hanging out inside will be safe." and socialize indoors, where the lack of fresh air means the virus will spread...

> Killing or injuring someone is not an externality.

I specifically mentioned the mortality rate, not the actual event of a driver being involved in an incident.

Peoples driving habits aren’t changed by a statistic (mortality rate) even though unsafe driving directly contributes to that number.
You're implying that he did something wrong.

But the title of the post validates his opinion and his claim about fastly and cold starts can literally be found anywhere in their blog and the compute@edge landing page.

I think it's a valid and valuable comment.
> This is dead-on, but just to add to this, none of your investors are investing in your company for a 7 percent yearly return.

Great point.

Also remember that your investors are investing specifically in your business, not giving you the money to re-invest in something else.

If you take investment money from someone to run a business then turn around and flip it into stocks or Bitcoin or something, you're going to have a serious problem if the value goes down. You might even have a problem if the value goes up. Investors don't take kindly to someone losing their money on something that wasn't agreed upon.
that’s BS, it’s almost entirely single-family zoning and NIMBYs
So is Bitcoin no longer being pushed as a currency? Is that “official”?
So did he sign a transaction to prove he owns these bitcoin? Or was the jury duped into believing his claims without any evidence?
Impressed by the headline then I read they amplified it to 350W. Less impressive.
First, in case it's not clear, these are (indirect measurements of) concentrations not volumes. There is a strong seasonal effect here, but it also tells other stories based on variations outside of that. Still, the seasonal bit is not unexpected, but hugely significant.

Most respiratory viruses, like influenza and colds have greater prevalence during the local winter. We'd expect COVID to behave similarly. The reasons for that are still debated.

In wastewater collection system, I&I (Inflow & Infiltration) is a constant problem where excess water from the environment enters the waste treatment pipeline. It's costly because all that otherwise clean water has to get the full treatment. So, it's interesting to me, that, unless they have normalized for I&I somehow which is not apparent in their raw data, the true seasonal variation in concentration is actually understated.
