Algorithmic trading is huge and such tools enabling algorithmic trading appear to play a major role for enterprises being active in this domain. But for individuals, assuming that you don’t have millions to invest in such tools, you will either develop your own solutions or live without a solution.

It is an extremely challenging area. I developed my own solution by using Neural Networks, and even made it available in a mobile app.

Apple App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/se/app/investing-stock-market/id16023...

Google Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.loheden.in...

Here is what it does in a nutshell:

- It predicts whether the price of a given common stock will go up or down in the coming month.

- Given predictions are probabilistic. If the prediction is above 50%, it indicates that the price of the stock is expected to go up, otherwise a price decrease is predicted.

- As the prediction gets closer to 100% (or 0%), it indicates a stronger algorithmic expectation on a price increase (or decrease).

- Stocks with highest algorithmic price increase likelihood are short listed in 2 groups: One for Penny Stocks, and one for the Non-Penny Stocks. (Penny stocks happen to be a lot more volatile and some people may prefer to focus on just that ones instead.) For these short listed stocks, beside Buy Target, Sell Target and Stop Loss values are shared as well based on recent volatility of each stock.

- Predictions for stocks are renewed on each market day as more data is collected from markets. Expectedly, each stock’s price increase likelihood for the coming month changes every day with new input data coming from markets. For this reason, predictions from the past week are also made available so that one can follow if the price increase likelihood for a given stock has been - e.g. - increasing in the past week.

- Predictions are indicative. Algorithms aim to predict future price movements by looking at the complex historical trends of stocks, which is not feasible for a pair of human eyes. External & unexpected factors (i.e. wars, natural disasters, political chaos, etc.) may always positively/negatively affect markets (especially in the short term) resulting in unexpected price movements for stocks. Predictions aim to short list stocks for short term trading; and with the aim of making it even a stronger tool, I have also added a strong Stock Screener function. Beside, technical indicators, company financials, dividend history, latest stock specific news from markets, and historical graphs enabling a proper technical analysis are also made available within the app.

Being very interested in stock markets, I have developed it exactly in the way I need it. I wanted to share it here as well in case other people with similar interests would like to try it out.
I think it is dangerous to look at this too much, there are other reasons that Linux got off to a better start not directly related to the license. Such as some rather serious lawsuits against FreeBSD in the past, that hurt adoption in the time Linux was getting up and going.

But yeah it is true that Linux is much more efficient at getting stuff upstreamed, I think Sony has sent more patches to Linux than FreeBSD and the PlayStation runs on it.

To clarify, i dont think that GP is morally wrong or anything (as long as they are upfront about what they are doing, although it can get morally questionable fast if they aren't careful).

The 3.5mm adapters that Apple makes absolutely include a DAC themselves. Not sure where you get the idea that they don't.

Both the USB-C and the Lightning versions are all digital on the port side.

There are very few USB-C analog -> 3.5mm adapters, strictly because there is so many compatible issues (i.e., you need to support the alternate mode, AND you need to map the pins correctly).

Oracle verifies Java licensing tools from Flexera and Lime Software
I've resisted co pilot and auto complete because when interview time comes and you have to write code outside of your toolset, you'll realize you haven't committed things so well to memory. This bit me earlier on in my career after working in visual studios for a long time. I now code almost exclusively in vim.

I'm not saying you shouldn't use it, but before you go into technical parts of interviews I would recommend you do some coding without all the bells and whistles tools.
> The need for anonymity for legal reasons is absolutely not a straw man argument.

That's not really an argument against eSIMs. As you point out getting an anonymous real SIM is also impossible in many countries. What prevents anonymous SIMs (or eSIMs) are legal issues and is not related to the technical implementation. Potentially eSIMS could make the whole process of getting burners much easier, if it wasn't for the legal issues.
I think the very latest I'd put public awareness of the health effects of sugar would be the Atkins diet fad, circa 2004. That diet was a big deal at the time, definitely part of the public discourse, and the premise was that sugar was bad. Note that that book was already 30 years old by then, but something suddenly changed in the culture that made it hit.

Then there were things like Paleo (2002-2013, hard to pin down) and The 4-Hour Body (2010), which were even more explicit about sugar being dangerous.

There's lots of stuff I knew well and then forgot, but can re-learn quickly. For example, nearly all of calculus (useful when dealing with machine learning). Other bits I've retained and never forgotten, such as everything I've seen involving matrices. There are even things which I had conveniently completely "forgotten" but later emerged as suppressed latent memories- for example, set theory. I was so unhappy with the lead-up to Russell's paradox that I actively suppressed thinking about sets, groups, rings, and fields for several decades.

There are even other bits that I was shown, never incorporated into my brain at all, but later recognized as truly important (Taylor series expansions, the central limit theorem, the prime number theorem, etc).
Everything handwaving freakoutery (it's a blog) publishes on egregores I found highly relevant and entertaining.

Actually, everything contemporary mentioning egregores is probably relevant - they're also called 'AI autocults', but the concept existed long before group communication became enmeshed with computer infrastructure - though the dynamics are different now than in enlightenment-era Europe, and the pre-Newtonian assumptions of the older publications throws most modern readers off.
Just to be clear, risking of stating the obvious, when I wrote "overloaded", I was talking about operator overloading.

In both C++ and Python, == can be overloaded, so if you need to be sure you are not dealing with an overloaded equality, "is" is convenient in Python. I'm not sure what I would do in C++, and I could imagine a world where "is" in C++ was like "==", but guaranteed to not be overloaded.

Of course, Python can't reserve "to be".
Ryzen 7600X and 7950X review: Zen 4 starts off expensive but impressive
This is all beside the point at hand, but I suppose it's still about epistemology, so I'd like to stand up for my old position, even though I understand it looks foolish in retrospect.

The fact that so much was unknown was part of the reason I thought testing might have a different effect than the flu. Well into the pandemic, the vast majority of people feared COVID much more than the flu, so it seemed they would be much more likely to take precautions to avoid getting it or spreading it. But that fear attenuated over time, especially as people lost trust in the alarmist if-it-bleeds-it-leads coverage.

Finally, your hostility is unwarranted: I am and have been a strong proponent of vaccines and I was fully on board to "flatten the curve", even for a short period of lockdowns. But I am not and never have been in favor of permanent midnight.
It's basically several moves for the price of one. Given that you operate on multiple values at once, being able to shuffle or duplicate values comes up all the time.

For example if you're filtering four image lines at a time using a 1D filter kernel, you'll want to replicate the filter coefficient to each SIMD element, so that you can multiply each of the four pixel values with the same coefficient. Shuffle lets you replicate a single coefficient value into all the elements of a register in one instruction.

OMG I frikkin hate McMaster's navigation and comparison options. Their standardization is even quite sloppy, i.e. some screw vendors apparently include the head height in the length spec, and you don't find this out until your box of #2-56's show up for your precision fixture and are ~1mm too short.

I always tolerated McMaster's crappy UX as just a symptom of how MEs are willing to tolerate more shaggery than CS types.
Curious about this as well. What’s the difference of 2 years of experience, vs. 2.5, vs. a full 3 years? Sure, everyone can agree 4 years, a fully vested tenure is commitment by this industry’s standards. But where is the line between 2-3?

I wonder how much of that 59% gain comes from the 512bit registers/instructions themselves, and how much comes from the new instructions and modes that come with AVX-512, and can still be used with the narrower 256bit and 128bit registers.

Would be interesting to modify some of the benchmarks to be limited to 256bit AVX-512 and see how they compare.

This is a CEO admitting they essentially learned nothing, will not admit they made a wrong choice in light of data, and typically means they will do it again.

They could have seen the writing on the wall about how people were angry about crypto emissions and that proof of stake was being bandied about as a solution (and that Cardano already had it, so it's not just a theory).
Thanks for the suggestion! I've actually read TFS, and I would even consider myself a "fan" of psychology, I definitely don't think it's mumbo jumbo. But in my opinion the book was quite shallow, only scratching on the surface of the matter.

Edit: To clarify, shallow is maybe the wrong word. I think the book gets its main point across very well, and it's a good point. But the majority of the book is just further evidence supporting that main point. Which is fine, but I wish it would develop this main point a bit further. The book could be summarized in a short paper and wouldn't lose too much of its value, in my opinion.
"We are born with some sort of immutable value locked inside of us"

I think I agree with it. Most people have a natural intelligence or artistic capability or instinctive talent or natural athleticism that cannot be learned and cannot be taught, but that can be acquired by diligent perseverance in practice and effort.

Naturally strong people often do now realize how strong they are compared to the standard. Naturally smart people often mistakenly assume that everyone else is equally as intelligent and that their intelligence is nothing special.

Our brains tend to normalize our everyday experience so that the extraordinary stands out more against the background of life.

Nothing is impossible for anyone, but some things will be easier or harder for you because of how they fit with your natural inclinations, abilities, or skills.

I definitely agree that this is in fact the motivation for a lot of people, but I don't think that should be encouraged. In the Empty Chair exercise, there isn't another human on the other end. When you're posting on the internet, there is. The rant into the void affects no one but yourself. The rant on the message board is indistinguishable from a sincere attempt at communication (cf. Poe's Law), and triggers who-knows-what reaction. (Exhibit A: Twitter.)

I'm also reminded of the half-serious proposition that "90% of what you see on the internet is written by insane people" -- wouldn't it be better if less of what you read was people hashing out their internal emotional state in public?

> In school I learned about inheritance, not composition.

And that's perfectly fine, provided that students learn that trying to do downcasts like casting an animal instance to a dog instance is something that in general never made any sense, and more often than not reflects ignorance.

> This way of doing things necessitates downcasting;

Not true. That way of doing things necessitates ignorance of basic concepts across many domains, including basic OO programming in general and C++ in particular. You can't blame the tool of your choice for problems you create out of ignorance and failing to think things through.
That sounds absolutely bizarre. Why do stock the first year at all? I have never heard of anyone trying that before.

edit: That setup is basically saying "you don't benefit from the increase in share value for the first year of employement", which is pretty employee-hostile. I bet a company that was doing this before stopped doing it this year, when their stock value fell by a lot. :)
We all choose different careers for many different reasons, but the 2 biggest ones are probably these...

> A - making enough money to live acceptably well

> B - to feel fulfilled and have satisfaction and enjoyment with what we do with our time

Now think about making a career choice when it comes to living in a poor country versus living in a rich country.

If you live in a richer country, you can have a decent standard of living almost no matter what career you put effort into, so reason A isn't as much of a motivator. People in rich countries are much more likely to take advice like "do what you love" and go into lower paid fields like social work, or many art related fields, simply because they love it.

However, if you live in a poorer country, you need to focus on reason A to have an acceptable living standard. Having a job you personally enjoy and feel satisfaction from isn't as important to you as simply having a decent lifestyle first. You're much more likely to tolerate spending your time doing the most boring, monotonous, headache-inducing work that you hate in a poorer country if it means that you have a path to elevate your lifestyle.
I have a software project that I am considering open sourcing. I have people tell me all the time 'just open source it!' as if money just magically appears in your bank account after doing so. Making good software is hard. Making it profitable is also hard and open source is not some magic bullet. Most advocates for it are also realistic, but there are enough out there who seem convinced that it somehow is.

> SIM is not secure and will never be.

That's just nonsense. You need to explain what you mean by that, because otherwise you sound like someone who doesn't know what they are talking about. If you mean SIM swap attack, then that's basically 'social engineering' with a help of identity theft targeting providers and has nothing to do with SIM cards themselves.
At one time, there were rules for joining the Euro, things like debt-to-GDP, controls on government spending and so on. Germany and France, in particular, pressed for the southern countries to be admitted, despite the well-known fact that they didn't meet those conditions.

They had large pension and state-payroll obligations, and they couldn't cut that spending and stay in power. Greece tried to cut it's spending, and the government was ejected. The new socialist government was then destroyed by German bankers and politicians.
> 500,000 people are in a similar position to me.

Do not despair; watch for hints of a coming bailout. Bankrupting half a million voters has to look like poison to elected officials.

One more economically rational option in future, for example, would be imposing a principal "haircut" on lenders, down to some assessment of the by that time reduced market prices of comparable homes.

I would not view being a contractor in the way you describe as a yellow flag, but that's not OP's situation. OP looks like they were relatively inexperienced, had never held a job for 2 years. Even if OP didn't mention they were trying to convert to FTE in these roles and it didn't happen, the descriptions of them tell me that's probably what's happening.

The article kind of led with Crypto, but could have easily started and ended with Crypto. Full Stop.

Overlay Ethereum-USD and Nvidia charts for the past 5 years and what does that tell you? My take is both Nvidia's stock price and Ethereum-USD price were products of helicopter money. Sure some gamers bought cards, but not on the scale to which miners acquired them.

Analysis of mining hash rate post-merge bears this out[0]. With some estimates being $5 to $20 Billion(USD) in newer GPU's that are no longer "profitable."[1] The 'chip' shortage meant Nvidia could not satisfy demand for their products. I posit no amount of chips would have satisfied demand. They, along with many other companies, made record profits during the pandemic. There was just soooo much 'extra' money flowing around with stimulus, overly generous unemployment, PPP, and more.

I can't tell you how many people were YOLO'ing every cent of their stimulus into Crypto and WSB stonks. It was an enormous cohort of people based on the explosion of Robinhood and Coinbase use mentioned in WSB subreddit. Mooning and Diamond hands FTW, eh?

Mining crypto with gainz from a roulette spin with Robinhood options? Yeah, while we are at it, lets buy 4 mining rigs because mining Ethereum is very, very profitable during this time. The thinking that one can literally turn electricity to heat while making money (even while one sleeps no less) and trade options while one is awake. It may look crazy right now, but the subreddits were non-stop talk like this.

There are mining rigs all over my Facebook marketplace and local craigslist now. Crypto winter is here (for who knows how long) and Nvidia is not going to make those types of returns for the extreme foreseeable future. Reality check 101.

It's hard for me to square Searle talking about Trump at length, and Searle being indifferent to Trump. The two claims seem to contradict, cancelling out and leaving me with no firm impression about what Searle did or didn't think about Trump. Perhaps the point was to put Searle and Trump's names together in the same sentences, as a way of smearing Searle while not actually claiming anything of substance.
