> the hedge fund industry's goal is not necessarily to beat the market, it is to provide the highest level of return per unit of risk.

So basically you are saying a hedge fund is just optimizing for sharpe.

That is not true. Sharpe is just one way to compare performance at the same level of vol. It's a useful metric but very limited. It tell you nothing about exposure, risk and distribution.

I discussed how hedge funds position themselves here:

Hmm? A recent Ford F-150 won't fit in any parking space you can find in the EU.
indeed. i use our pi for pi-hole and homebridge (single source for all of our wifi smart things). works amazingly; rock solid uptime too.
A lot of the "inflation" is straight up corporate profiteering at this point. How else do you explain the record profits many companies experienced during and after the pandemic before the threat of rate hikes?

The answer to the why of all of this is super easy: greed.
It sounds like their software is very polished. Also, it might be possible to emulate the device on an old phone.

I bought an all-in-one PC with a touchscreen in part to experiment with using it in a similar fashion, but haven't made much progress yet.
I read fairy tales to my kids a lot from older books. They can be so brutal that i feel the need to skip or modify words while reading.

The disney movie pinoccio is grim and the book was even grimmer. But the disney one is also a true piece of art much in the sense of the original as it speaks to the children directly.

Could you provide a basis for that claim? I haven't heard it from the many people I know in those professions, who appear to respect their licensing bodies.
Everything is a trade off, you are correct that something like screws/tabs etc would indeed make things bulkier - but how much bulkier would be determined by the design.

I am confident that the designers at Apple could figure out a compromise to make self repair much easier - not necessarily tool-less! - while keeping the phone pretty damn close to current proportions.
To answer your question: You could buy WD Red, to save a little noise and power.

BUT:
You should always consider, that optimizing Power Consumption would mean to buy new hardware. I hardly ever do this. Buying new hardware in many cases is vastly more expensive than keeping your old hw, even if it consumes more power.

I'll try to give you an example:

- My Dell T20 consumes 33W Idle

- There is HW out there, that consumes 14W - diff (19W)

- Let's say my Dell costs 150$ vs 600$ (for new hardware) - diff: 450$

- How long can I run my Dell T20 for 450$, without investing in new hardware

Calculation:

- Dell additional power per year: 0,019kW * 24h * 365 = 166kWh

- Estimated cost per year (in germany): 166kWh * 0,30$ = 49,80$

- Means I can run it about 9 years to the break even point

Advice: Buy a newer cheap used server consuming 12W in 5 years, and you save a ton of money. AND buying used hardware is better for the environment...

I like to think of it simpler - if everyone in a society contributes something helpful, however it's organized / monetized - we all win.
This doesn't preclude using a low-code platform to do it, unless you assume low-code means producing software without developers.
The article might have been better served by using Hawk-eye as an example.

The technology behind Hawk-eye started out as television gimmick, back in 2001, to show cricket fans the ball trajectory for a LBW call.

Now it is being used for challenging line calls in tennis and checking goals in football. It has evolved into a useful case for other sports. While in cricket it still leads to some controversial umpiring in instances called "umpires call" where Hawk-eye prediction falls in a 50-50 probability range.
What's the data or reasoning behind your claim? Inflation in Europe also started an upward trajectory early last year and became unusually high well before the war in Ukraine.

There were also very few COVID lockdowns in China in 2021, most were in early 2020 and then some major ones occurred in 2022 but those, like Ukraine, were well after inflation started to rise in USA and Europe. Not to say the early 2020 China lockdowns could not have caused later inflation, but is that what you are claiming?
Monthly payments exist and some people use them to pay for a flagship phone but most people understand this is just diguised credit and they'd rather have a cheaper subscription.

Also I've seen people do that drop/lose/get their expensive phone stolen and then pay for almost 2 years for a device they don't use. The replacement is usually a lot cheaper and they realize their life is not that different with a cheaper smartphone and don't repeat the experience unless they are social status show offs.
AOL was definitely a trash heap and as you describe with the ads, but it was ridiculed for being that way. I can definitely remember using the web pre-walled garden and pre-advertising. Back when the primary way to log on was through a shell account it was definitely this way. Gopher was similar. Even when I got my first PPP dial up account and could properly browse without Lynx the web was very enthusiast driven. Companies just weren’t there yet.

I agree that we can’t remake the 90s, but there was definitely a point where the internet was very much like a worldwide computer club or mega BBS.
Nah, it’s nothing to do with Chromium. These things can break in any environment, and you can deliberately break these things in any browser, even if Chromium may not have first-class support for the concept; in uBlock Origin, for example, the rule “no-remote-fonts: * true” (or the filter “$font”) kills web fonts, and, well, I guess you can uninstall all your local fonts or something.

Icon fonts are pretty much an obsolete technique: they were the pragmatic choice for a few years when SVG support was insufficient (most notably for old versions of IE), but they were known* to have accessibility problems, and so now that SVG support is adequate, the icon font technique should be replaced in all cases.

For font-family declarations lacking an appropriate generic fallback family, that’s simple developer error because they don’t know how things are supposed to be done, and that all other families are unreliable—it’s not just people that deliberately disable them like us, but also that not all systems will have a font of a given name, and that web fonts may fail to load because networks are unreliable.
Self-reference causes a lot of issues. Sometimes I wonder if it should just be prohibited, forcing everything to be a directed acyclic graph.

If a language has only immutable data structures, it is easy to make it so that self-reference becomes impossible, just by making sure your primitives for constructing values don't permit cycles to be constructed.

Even if you allow mutable data structures, it is still possible. For mutable compound heap objects (i.e. heap objects which possibly container pointers to other heap objects), they can have a back-pointer pointing to their parent. If you think about it, you can flesh out some rules about how to manipulate these objects which will make cyclic references impossible. When the rules are violated, rather than failing the operation, you could just add a pointer to a deep copy instead. (Not completely deep, you can still share rather than copy non-compound heap objects, such as strings–sharing non-compound objects can't produce cycles.)

Banning direct self-reference doesn't mean nothing can ever refer to itself, just not directly. So, you couldn't have #1='(employee :name "Frank Smith" :supervisor #1#). But you could have something like '(employee :id 1 :name "Frank Smith" :supervisor (ref :to employee :id 1)). At a physical level there is no self-reference, but at a logical level there still is.

Similarly, one would want to allow cyclic references via a symbol, so a symbol can occur in its own binding. So not completely banning self-reference, just limiting it, in the hope that limiting it will limit the issues it causes. I think, using the strategies I've outlined above, reference counting will work as a garbage collection strategy, without the possibility of memory leaks from cyclic references. (Allowing a symbol's binding to refer to itself will not leak memory, since a bound symbol should still exist even if nobody refers to it; to deallocate it, you have to explicitly unbind it, which will remove the binding, breaking the self-reference and allowing the reference count to fall to zero.)
Agreed. These are a lot more space efficient than the Sheffield stand.
Haha, nice try, can't login to skype since 2011, old login info I was using it with was just gone prompting me to create new MS account with the same email, no message history or contacts preserved whatsoeever
Any resources that you could recommend on this? Was thinking of trying to put mine up to a similar use.
And they'll end up with 300 microservices instead of 30.
I like staying in a city as I rely on all the people around me to pay towards the costs of garbage collection, water pumping, electricity distribution costs and supermarket logistics chains of getting food from factories to where I am.

Society requires everyone to produce more than they cost. The government invests in you in terms of free education and in some countries free healthcare.

Work is the resource that is renewable. Everyone is forced into a grind to raise enough to pay for everyone else's costs and your own due to the recursive relationship of costs.
I love clicking through 90s internet on websites I barely remember from those times on the internet archive.

One of the earliest websites on the net was deoxy.org emerging from a mailing list that started in the 1980s, there was a big community around it that changed my life for the better. Here's a mirror [1]

Here's an even older one [2]

I'm of the opinion that this website is of archaeological significance. Glad there's mirrors out there.

Rumor has it that guy who ran it got a job at Apple and was compelled to get rid of the thing. Wild.

No it's not, it's many worlds. It's completely local and says nothing about free will or causality.

Step 1) Entangle pair. Parts of wavefunction with up-down and down-up exist.

Step 2) Lab A interacts with pair, they either get entangled with the up-down pair or the down-up pair, or any other subset of the wavefunction.

Step 3) Lab B interacts with any part of the Lab A+pair wavefunction. When they do, they find that, astonishingly, the part of the wavefunction they find themselves entangled with when they speak to Lab A is the same part of the wave function they find themselves entangled with based on their measurements.

No new entities are posited, no new mechanism is posited, no assertions are made about wavefunctions vanishing upon interaction. It's the simplest possible claim. The only effect it has on whether or not you can do reproducible experiments is the entropy in the subset of the wavefunction you can potentially interact with went up.
Interesting that the Elgato Stream Deck came out a year after their patent expired.
How "unGoogled" is your phone OS? Do you have GAPPS installed?
userContent.css is frightfully inconvenient, since you have to restart the browser for it to take effect. I recommend (and use) the extension Stylus instead, which uses an inferior technique (the injected styles aren’t prioritised correctly as user styles), but can be tweaked more easily and as you go.
I, for one, consider Clojure a lisp. And I have a physical copy of The Art of the Metaobject Protocol!
Interesting idea! Reminds me of a podcast I was listening to:

>...if we want to understand the economic geography and political paths and political stability of a country, we need to understand what commodities they started out with. What this led me to do, and how I got started on the path of studying war, actually, is by realizing that some commodities are just hugely volatile in price for various circumstances, and some are not.

>So, if we wanted to understand long-term paths of development and why some places weren’t prosperous, it’s because they lost the commodity lottery, and they got a volatile commodity rather than a stable one.

https://conversationswithtyler.com/episodes/chris-blattman-w...

When I heard this, I immediately thought: "Why don't countries selling volatile commodities just hedge?" I wonder if "commodity hedging for the masses" could be one of those things like mobile money which has a transformative effect on the global poor.

(Of course, you could also imagine the government of a country that exports something volatile hedge that commodity and buy the production of its people in lean times in order to keep things stable)
The hard part is NOT building such a site. The hard part is getting users.

It's almost impossible to get funding for something like this without first demonstrating that you can get users where "demonstrating" means "already has a lot of users and, more important, growth in users". (There are a few people who could get funding for this project before such a demonstration but those people wouldn't be asking this question on hacker news.)
I agree with the fact that there is no "real" cricket but it is not as simple as different rules and duration. T20 relies on momentum, a bit of luck and different set of skills compared to Test matches. That is why you often see teams like West Indies or Afghanistan which can compete with any big teams in a T20 match struggle in Tests.
Side note, since it's probably a niche use-case, but using NVMe's in Z1 was both pretty effective with VMs and cheap enough on usable capacity (4×1TB for ~3TB usable).

I feel SSDs are in a totally different category that makes Z1 an actual option, whereas I don't trust it for spinners. Key difference being that a failed SSD can usually be read (only) whereas a failed spinner is usually as good as bricked.
> Stop crying "cherry picking". The 10 hottest years on record for the entire planet have all been in the 21st century. The avalanche of record-breaking heat incidents is overwhelming. If anything, the public needs to have its brains positively bashed in 24/7 with this before attitudes shift.

This article is about one month in one state.

Your metaphor is entirely wrong.

> Stop crying

> I don't know why you jumped in hot for an argument.

Don't tell me my state of mind.

> Despite what you might think you are arguing, holding the line for truth or whatever, you're just creating doubt and muddying the waters, shifting the narrative away, propping up the holdouts, and sometimes, deniers.

I'm not propping up the deniers. I'm denying them the argument of, "it's a cold month in Georgia, climate change is bogus." I have to deny that argument when it agrees with the theory of global warming. Ooh, I used the word "theory" -- it must mean it's not fact. I use the word theory as "theory of gravity" here.

I'm not shifting a narrative away unless you mean everyone should toe the line and accept global warming as dogma and recite it blindly. The argument for that is just as strong as denying that.

It's not recursion because the earth is not a closed system.

Farmers don't have to pay for the energy used to grow wheat. The Sun provides that for free. Same with the oxygen, and much of the water. Value is created, it's not a zero-sum game (except from the perspective of universal entropy.)

In a healthy economy, most of the value should be created rather than extracted from others. But ownership of fixed resources like land led to serfs and sharecroppers, which led to landlords and industrialists accumulating capital, which led to exploitation. That's Marx's whole thing.

How would you characterize the degree of explainability of large language models (e.g. gpt3)? Anything surprising or non-intuitive there?
does your code lead to profit?
I'll share an example, as I suspect some people haven't felt excluded by language before. It's tough to understand if you haven't.

As a parent my role has shifted to be more involved with my kindergarten aged kid. The parents like to organize events and socialize. However, the language used is often "mom" instead of "parent". My understanding is that they aren't intending to exclude "dad", as they are using "mom" as shorthand for "most active parent". My involvement in the group has been lower as a result, it's tough to feel like you may not be included.

Certain language, to varying degrees, can offend or exclude your reader. You don't need to care, but it does impact the reader and could detract from the effectiveness of your docs.
If you’re going to be pedantic, at least make sure to be right. Linux is a kernel!
Is that kernel module open source? One of the advantages of what TrueNAS did is that I can patch it into my own kernels if I'd need to. Plus being compatible to the NFSv4 ACL binary format, so it works via NFS too. Also handling Active Directory would be important there.
Well, the question is, what are your real needs and what part of you is asking for MORE POWER? :-)

I personally think, that the Dell T20 is more than enough for a ONLY NAS Server and even for a small homelab.

You could go for something similar to this (ebay) but I had MUCH more success in looking at "garage sale" websites (I don't know, what sites to use in the US):

https://www.ebay.com/itm/175291934211?hash=item28d036a603:g:...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/284831417242?hash=item425146839a:g:...

Dell T20 - but I would not invest more than 150$ incl. >= 16GB ECC RAM.

HP Microserver Gen8 is more expensive, but not more than 350$ incl. >= 16GB ECC RAM.

You could also consider FUJITSU PRIMERGY TX1310 M3 and better. More modern Machines include the DELL T40, but it is much more expensive.

I'm not sure what you mean by an "island small enough" - is this metaphor or literal?
You make it more important to be eventually right than initially right.

Allow tests to be continuously regraded as the things students get wrong are corrected.

Automation would go a long way towards making that more feasible (i.e. easier for a multiple choice test than a written one).

But the emphasis on being right initially as the only thing that matters is unhealthy, and certainly in part what leads to the majority of people doubling down on confirmation bias rather than admitting being wrong and learning/incorporating the knowledge for the future.

Yes, there are practical issues with improving the system. But I've had a few select teachers that had that policy in some form years ago, and it was often the best teachers that did. We'd benefit from a widespread adoption of similar and it might lower the inventive for trying to cheat to be right the first time, as to the kids being brought up in these systems and reflecting these systems, that's the only thing that matters.
I'm not sure - if you're willing to tolerate more gunk on the edge of the pages. say the book is cut +/- 2.5 mm - each page has .5 of print on the edges, and each page image shifted by .01 mm (or whatever is appropriate). cut the edge wherever, it'll work out.

Glued edge registration needs to be super consistent though - micron accuracy. Maybe you mean the page on the binding/glue needs to be super accurate. I guess, yeah, if pages shift in binding all bets are off. So if there is a shift, or different pages expand or contract under binding differently than their neighbors, that would make it super hard.

another approach might be printing right on the edge of the cut pages, let the ink diffuse into the side, then apply the gilt over that to hide the picture.

Neat problem to armchair. I'm not really willing to put in the time or money or both to figure it out. So ultimately, I'll take your word.

I need to pay the farmer indirectly through supermarket food, the electricity company, the water company, the gas company, my phone manufacturer, my computer manufacturer, my rent for my landlord or my mortgage to the bank.

The farmer doesn't pay the sun but they still have to pay other costs ad infinitum. There is no last cost.

Each of those people also have the same problem

I'm not arguing for zero sum. I'm just saying that the problem of costs is recursive, you need to produce more than you cost. As each of those people has the same costs that I do. So it can only grow in size and costs can only inflate.
Yes, exactly. DNS settings on router makes that easy, just give each pihole a static address and point DNS to them. The address are listed in priority.
Grants are for claiming. Why leave money on the table? Your competitors won't.
It’s not that easy and having money isn’t the problem here. If we could pay off the homeless to stop being homeless, you have to believe that we’d have already done that.

SF spends ~60k per homeless person per year (maybe more now). It’s clearly not money that is the limiting factor here.
Congratulations on that domain.

Can you add two more rings and some example sites? It's difficult to evaluate if there is no content to use.

Have you considered introducing social features? Webrings are a form of a community. It would be helpful if there were the option to link to a community chat channel and wiki.

What I would love to see in a webring service would be comments and voting on each ring element, preferably with ActivityPub technology.

The cherry on top would be an rss feed for sites that are newly added to the ring.

Anyway, good luck for your site. The clean design is nice.
