>taking fixed-window averages and comparing them to one another is effectively useless

Is it really that simple? I'll fully admit that most of my understanding of the stock market is based on intuition and reading books with flashy titles. In other words, I'm far above the moving charalatan average in most aspects of my life, and you also sound like you might actually know what you're talking about based on how definitive your answer is. If you also, for example, back-test a moving average strategy it usually ends up terrible I've noticed--either making almost no money or losing money.

Yet, I really like watching the stock market. It's my favorite hobby in fact. It certainly feels like a death cross is going to be a bad time when it happens, but maybe the truth is more complicated then the cryptic silly lines I gain so much joy from.

You might already know this, but the stock market death-crossed around January and then it went down for a long time after that. But it also doesn't always go down so dramatically every time there is a death cross. I'm not keeping accurate tallies on the whole thing, but it seems like it's often bad when those two lines cross and often good when they cross in the opposite direction--the so-called "golden cross". I did actually put a little money on a stock because it golden-crossed recently and it went way up today, which was pretty exciting news. And I'm also avoiding a lot of stocks because they are about to death-crossed or just have recently on the weekly charts, but you know, I can also understand how the language I'm using might be mistaken for a seance organized by a bunch of teenagers dressed like vampires.

Mostly I listen to smart people like Warran Buffet and buy value stocks with good p/e, price-to-book, lots of equity, less debt, good earnings etc. It would be silly not to listen to the richest man in the world about what kind stocks to buy. Yet, it still feels like there's something else there, even if my little hobby is about as realistic as playing a round of magic the gathering. It's, you know, my little hour of make believe, that I put some money into in order to escape my otherwise mundane and factual existence.

Not the OP. My speculation is they justify it internally as defense against scrapers.

What can you do? Dunno
Cravings can be an incredibly helpful indicator that you have an unmet need.

I haven’t had a sweet tooth most of my adult life, but recently started picking up cake or ice cream on grocery runs. I was baffled by this fairly abrupt change in taste. Until I stepped on a scale. Even eating what I thought was voraciously, I'd lost more weight than I wanted. I needed more calories in my diet to maintain body mass, and I craved sugary foods to compensate. Now I know if I crave sugars I don’t have a particular taste for, it’s a good sign I’m not eating enough.

Other people have similar experiences with other cravings, eg red meat when they’re anemic. Pets also eat unusual things when something is missing, or wrong in their digestion.

All of which confirms your point as much as it challenges it. But I’m more inclined to be sympathetic to people whose food cravings indicate negative health circumstances, than to judge them.
And for even longer than that, it was a term describing the technique of keeping a tree-like structure that would gather updates so you could eventually update the actual DOM all in one go because updating the DOM piecemeal was slow.

The term was popularized long before "web components" was a thing, and in fact, that's where they got the name.
Just wanted to say thanks for the many chuckles I've had over your knowing tabloidese headline pastiches over the years. Hope they'll continue to make occasional appearances.
Do you start having to specify measurement temperature? 10°C change can change length measurement in the 4th decimal place for say steel? Or is measurement temperature standardised?
Yeah IIRC most articles were the part of "Microsystems Software" report.

In addition to the pattern-matching rwmj pointed out, for ML I'd add strong static typing (because compilers are bug-prone!) with sum types, statically checked pattern matching, implementations that generate efficient code (because compilers are often slow), automatic memory management (usually GC), and duck typing in the form of higher-order functions. Lisp shares the last two of these.

Both ML and Lisp make it pretty easy to write out complex domain-specific data structures (like ASTs) as part of your code, but I haven't found that as valuable as you might expect when writing toy compilers.

Pattern-matching, though, that's super important. Compilers are full of case analysis of sum types, and not just in the sort of optimization transformations rwmj mentions, though in a sufficiently advanced compiler most of the code will probably be in the optimizer.

(For these purposes Python is basically a slow Lisp.)
Removing downvotes now makes more sense
> he efficient markets hypothesis does not, and has not, stood up to empirical research since it was first invented

Yes it has. In its weak form.

More pointedly all the supposed counter examples turn out to be snake oil. People really want to believe there is some magic that can predict the future....

> the reason that it's a hypothesis, and not a theory, is that it's impossible to disprove

It is an hypothesis. It is impossible to prove it, only disprove it. And....

> because all of evidence that disagrees with it is dismissed as spurious.

All the counter examples turn out to be snake oil. I spend years looking, repeating simulations, back testing algorithms.... Snake oil each and every time

People really want to believe....
And they're allowed to produce a product that gets less miles per gallon, goes bad quickly, breaks engines, is more expensive and energy intensive to transport, and doesn't do what the epa claims in terms of reducing emissions. In other words, the typical government solution.
I don't know what to make of this comment. On the one hand, I've worked with people who technobabble so I wonder if that's what this is. On the other hand, I question if maybe I'm just an idiot who doesn't operate on your level. Either way, I think there is something to be said about communicating succinctly in plain English. This comment reminds me of the joke/quote "Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do."
SD has 860M weights for the main workhorse part. At 16-bit precision that is only 1.6 GB of data, which in some very real sense has condensed the world's total knowledge of art and photography and styles and objects.

It's not a search engine, it's self-contained and the closest analogy is that it's a very very knowledgable and skilled artist.
I've also been using this one (wasn't sure at first, they just migrated from the /hlky/ namespace on GitHub), but I have no idea at first glance what the differences are.

I will say that this one has had REALLY active development as new features have been coming out, and is pretty polished at this point (albeit I'm using it more as a toy than anything, but it's awesome to have a quick way to use the new features that have been shipping out).

Jokes on both of them: the DL knowledge is also next to useless for most industry cases.
Foobar is more tuned to play large collections. AIMP is much closer to Winamp's original use cases.
> The word "lie" is kinda hysterical, don't you think?

No, I consider it accurate.

I still consider Google to be marginally useful these days, but the quality has slipped and the UX has yet to keep pace.

> What do you expect -- the engine collects all 2 billion and puts them in a queue somewhere, just so that the one person in 500,000 who actually tries to see them all can?

Yes, that is what people expect when someone says "I found a billion hits on what you're looking for, here is the pile." How does this being wholly inaccurate by orders of magnitude to what the user can retrieve benefit the user?

Thanks for posting the link - funny part about his blog is coming across articles multiple times years apart. Had a hunch I'd read this particular one before and when he started talking about the 'fckedString' that was when I knew. Love the persistence of his blog as this was written decades ago.
Gosling's chief skill always was to sound convincing. (Lord knows language design wasn't it.) The contempt he had for Java coders is hard to miss in writings from the time.
I do and it’s quite healthy. Also cream.
It's announced today though.

Fuck it. It isn't because "I did a dumb". You know it, I know it, the microbes on my keyboard know it. Let's not pretend.
I did this in 2017 and it worked great, but the pandemic broke this for many dealerships. With both new and used inventory being so tight they can often sell the car the day it rolls off the truck for MSRP or even more with zero effort. The US is still at least 1-2 million vehicles per year behind replacement and population growth, let alone the backlog from the past two years. The knock-on effect has also dramatically shrunk the used market which causes a feedback loop with the new car market.

Parts shortages are just now clearing up so even in a recession situation it may take a year or two to clear up the backlog and get back to stable inventory levels. As that happens dealerships will go back to being flexible and working to make their sales.

FWIW: our current vehicle is a Tesla. I put an order in on the website, got a simple quote with about 5 optional extras I could click on or not. Waited 3-4 months and the vehicle arrived as described for the quoted price. In other words a completely normal buying experience with no stress or question marks. The one time I needed service I scheduled it in the app with pictures, they quoted me, then a tech showed up and did the work at my house for the price quoted.

I will NEVER EVER go back to the dealership "experience".

That site is effectively continuing the urban legend, but shifting it to be that Disney pays for cups.

In reality, Coca-Cola and Disney's partnership is quite complex, and didn't become exclusive until 1990 (https://www.upi.com/Archives/1990/01/24/Disney-Coke-sign-15-...).

They've never publicly disclosed the terms, but I'm sure they aren't as simple as "we give you free syrup", given the depth of the co-marketing (e.g. giant coca-cola store at WDW, the Star Wars cokes they sell at the park, more examples here - https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2021/09/celebrating-c...).

You (and maybe GP) seem to be assuming that a SINGLE competitor would theoretically try to replace SAP and fail.

But the most likely scenario, I think, is that built-for-purpose competitors will build products that peel away small pockets of SAP's customer base over time.

The irony of course is that a product like SAP is the end result of similar built-for-purpose products being hoovered up and merged together in the first place.

Everything is a pendulum!
Is there a reason this could not be a tiny dot matrix printer? Or would people scoff at the noise?
Dennis Richie reports that the increment operators actually came from B on the PDP-7. It didn't have auto-increment addressing modes, but it did have memory locations which increment when read.

"This feature probably suggested such operators to Thompson; the generalization to make them both prefix and postfix was his own. Indeed, the auto-increment cells were not used directly in implementation of the operators, and a stronger motivation for the innovation was probably his observation that the translation of ++x was smaller than that of x=x+1."

In the realm of illegal recreational drugs price is a poor indicator of quality. What matters is relationships.

The "free market" in that environment spurs deception, and in the very worst cases, poisoning

In the market for legal recreational drugs, such as it is (alcohol and pharmaceuticals mostly) it spurs cultivating and exploiting addicts.

The answer is regulation, and regulated markets. Not free markets
Modern humans generate more brain neurons than Neanderthals
Here's a SO discussion:

https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/15282/quantum-en...

"Collapsing an entangled pair occurs instantaneously but can never be used to transmit information faster than light. If you have an entangled pair of particles, A and B, making a measurement on some entangled property of A will give you a random result and B will have the complementary result. The key point is that you have no control over the state of A, and once you make a measurement you lose entanglement. You can infer the state of B anywhere in the universe by noting that it must be complementary to A.

The no-cloning theorem stops you from employing any sneaky tricks like making a bunch of copies of B and checking if they all have the same state or a mix of states, which would otherwise allow you to send information faster than light by choosing to collapse the entangled state or not."

Basically you know a that since they are complements, you know the value of the other after you measure one. No information was transmitted at all.

IANAQP. At all. Not one bit.

I started by putting stuff on my professional website. Too much overhead and styling kept me from writing:

https://lancebachmeier.com/other.html

Then I moved to GH pages and a simple theme, so that I could type directly in the browser on any device:

https://bachmeil.github.io/online-writing/

There was still too much styling on that page for my taste. The full CSS for my new site is

body { max-width: 950px; margin: auto; padding: 8px;}
pre { border: 1px solid gray; border-radius: 6px; padding: 8px; }

That feels more natural to me. Site here:

> Isn't it convenient that he doesn't think interracial marriage should be re-examined, you know, considering that he's married to a white woman and all.

This particular meme takes the cake for both being kind of racist, and also ignorant about the Constitution. There’s an amendment specifically adopted after a bitter civil war to specifically address racial discrimination. Bans on interracial marriage fall easily within its very broad plain terms.
I found channels with 10k-100k subscribers to be extremely high in quality and... bespoke. Just these days, I am learning a lot about OpenWRT while I wait for my router to arrive, and there was one channel with near 30k subscribers run by an amazing person, as he shares quite detailed information about routers, even the ones that are less exciting.

This was such a fresh breath from Linus Tech Tips style "we upgraded to 100 Gbps network" kind of content, because most of us are just tinkering around with consumer hardware, and geek out on minor details.

That, and they don't shove merchandise and minute long sponsored contents to you.
Kapton is a great example of the spinoff racket. You take something that was USED in the space program (but not invented by NASA; Kapton came from Dupont), you carefully blur the story, and now you claim it was the RESULT of the space program. It doesn't help that the marketing of these things often used the space program, calling them "Space Age", trying to mooch off the glamour Apollo had at the time. Integrated circuits, teflon, velcro, glass ceramics are other examples.
Another problem is the same C++ training ad would be served on every one of my site's pages. Magazines don't run the same ad on every page.

Instead, I now run affiliate ads for quality programming books from a list I curated. Ads I would like to see myself when browsing those pages. Ads that probably add value to the page, rather than subtract. No more Batman or C++ training ads.
I'm confused, how is this different than adding a 5$ membership program? Why is allowing the creator to sell video content users want a bad thing? Yes Youtube gets a cut, but that's literally how every single platform works.
Notesnook is not open source (you cannot self-host it, you must pay them). FWIW, Standard Notes is also very difficult to self host, though if you dig deep enough you can actually find the server and some outdated documentation.

Oh that’s a clever thought. I didn’t consider that angle.

> don't tell me that the woman is the hero, and the stationary shop is the journey.

Why not? Journeys can be of the mind. That is, after all, what reading is. A classic Danish story is the Brothers Lionheart about two brothers, one of which has cancer and the other trying to comfort him with stories about what happens when you die, conquering your fear of death and such… but wait, they’re two boys, one of which is always in bed, so there’s no journey. Similarly, The Kite Runner is about a boy who plays with a kite in the same limited area of a desert. Hardly a journey if you keep going forth and back like you perpetually lost your keys. ;-)
"Brain damages in ketamine addicts as revealed by magnetic resonance imaging"

No. I will not take that seriously. "magnetic resonance imaging" of brains has very little value (not none) yet. I would pay attention to behavioural studies.

I hate ketamine. I hate its effects on me, and I really hate its effects on my friends. Makes them blithering boring idiots. I would not be devastated if there were serious health effects of moderate ketamine use (as there are for alcohol)

But this is bullshit anti drug propaganda. Just because the drug it is attacking is IMO a horrible drug, does not make it better
The slide on V8 seems to give the impression that V8 just changed "IRs", but in reality, all of the compilers over the years are so different from each other that they really are totally different systems. V8 has been a microcosm of execution strategies and has completely revamped itself multiple times.
Interesting point. It's not conclusive, but if you do a quick search for the longest living animal species, the vast majority of them do live (all or part of their life) in water. So maybe?
Presumably thinking of virtual methods, in the context of C++ ? At least that used to make your code very slightly slower. Might be measurable in a tight loop?
I think that we may be shifting away from is a particular form of design pattern fetishism: abusing design patterns from the "gang of four", by their name, usually in Java.

For example, you will find plenty of classes with names like "StuffFactory", implementing the "factory" design pattern, even though you may not need a factory in the first place.

Design patterns still exist, and will always exist, but there I feel there is less of a tendency to use mindlessly use everything from the book.
I hear ya.

This thread has made me realize what I don't like about the ad model Google uses (as well as others) beyond the noise.

It totally disconnects the user, such that the user is not actually cared about.

I got that academically but reading the vociferous defense of the fake "how many results you get" figure, I now see that it is inherent. That bit of information benefits no one. It doesn't serve the user. So why keep it? Branding. But its a lie. It's a little lie in terms of who it hurts, but it's common lie. So what else does Google not care about due to the model it uses?
I want people who don't wish they worked with more people like Graydon to read the slides anyway instead of replying to my comment with "well actually Graydon is the kind of person who..."

I'm glad to hear you got along well.
