The CAPM model and APT imho is what portfolio management theory is based on: valuing equities or other instruments relative to each other. Useful for pairs trading, alpha, beta, and really all risk management. His portfolio theory textbooks are good too I think.

Most serious trading strategies can be summarized by highlighting a sentence in Hull’s book. That’s how it was in the 00s anyway. It’s all just innovation was execution and not just speed. It relationships and little bits of edge on top of existing old strategies.

Stephen Ross actually seemed to provide the first real theory for risk management though. I wouldn’t be surprised if most prop trading firms are still based on that.
CapRover!? I’m pretty excited to try most things that are shown off around here, but I’m even more excited when it’s as easy as using CapRover. Looking forward to it!
Ok, then keep it away from vultures and other animals. Not the best reason to discontinue if it brings relief to people
I wonder what autopilot versions this applies to.

Email: zamudio.e13@gmail.com

Hey! I'm Edwin, a software engineer with 2 years of experience. In my most recent role as a Data Engineer, I specialized in writing Python and SQL pipelines for big data analytics on data center components, supporting manufacturing engineers. I have a solid track record of optimizing pipeline performance and improving data analysis capabilities.

Before my data engineering role, I worked as a software engineer at Cox Automotive, where I focused on infrastructure-as-code solutions using technologies like Terraform, Python (including Boto3), and AWS. Notably, I developed an internal tool that processed large volumes of AWS data, resulting in a 50% reduction in the time required to detect cloud cost and usage anomalies and contributing to significant cost savings.

I'm passionate about back-end and data engineering, and I'm excited to continue making an impact in this field.
What a terrible thing that is, but fortunately I happen to reside in one of handful of states where balance billing is illegal.
> Are these tracts actually being sold by the government?

If you say "It is illegal for me, ajross, to purchase stale2002's house".

And then I respond by saying "No, it is not illegal for you to do that. All you have to do is get me to agree to sell you the house"

And then your response to this is by saying "But you aren't selling your house!"

This final response by you, does not prove the first statement you made to be true.

It continues to be legal for you to purchase my house, if I agree to it. Just like it continues to be legal for a rancher to purchase land from the government, if they agree to it.

Just because you are not very good at convincing the government/state legislator to sell you that land, does not make it illegal for you to purchase the land from them, if they choose to sell it to you.

What would happen if I try to run a program contains AVX instruction on a system that does not have it? Do I need to recompile the program?
I'm baffled by this comment. For one thing, this is literally not how vehicle regulation has worked in any western country for at least half a century, probably longer. There are already legally mandated systems that take away driver control in certain circumstances, notably ABS.

For another, the NPRM being discussed assumes that essentially 100% of new vehicles will eventually come with AEB systems in the near future. The proposed rulemaking is just formalizing that situation and setting performance standards.
I hate to say it, but this reads to me almost exactly like Homestuck dialogue... so not so far off from FYAD.
It's worse than that. The ranch owner was essentially trying to lay claim to BLM property. If he is the only one with access, he has effectively stolen it from everyone else
Never even heard from anyone on those posts. Stopped posting.
It’s unfortunate that debt must be seen in the United States as a precursor to getting healthy. Most of the western world has long ago moved past such notions, and the concept of any kind of medical debt is foreign in many European countries, for example.
Also like that they often get pretty annoyed when you accidentally kick the seat. Don't think it's a problem to recline your seat as long you don't do it during feeding time or the whole 14 hour flight (had that happen).

I can't complain much. I am the person who can't sleep on planes so will wander around the plane; talk to the staff; or have the light on the whole flight etc
During the pandemic response weren't the Australians imprisoning those who refused to get vaccinated or broke curfew laws and similar? Is the idea here that draconian measures were justified and the US should have implemented similar camps as well?
What’s most concerning is that this might be a negative spiral. I think one reason young people these days get so squeezed financially is that proportionately more retirees/near retirees in the population means that, structurally, economic output needs to be taxed or otherwise transferred (from rents, dividends, capital gains) from those who are working to those who are retired. If this squeezing causes people to reduce their birthdates, it continues the age pyramid inversion and necessitates even more squeezing later on.

Suggesting we treat housing as a good (which should be easily accessible and inexpensive) rather than an investment would surely help and isn’t controversial here. But it does pose a systemic problem as many current and upcoming retirements at present hinge on housing prices, which is how we got into this mess.

Perhaps a more controversial suggestion: fund retirements based on taxes or other forms of “cash flow” rather than through investments. Tax policy has directly incentivized investment as a way of funding retirement. At a societal level increasing the capital base probably makes us more efficient but we are shifting so much more economic output/returns from labor to capital that you can easily be much, much wealthier in retirement than as a worker. And people wouldn’t need to save and invest so much if they knew they’d get a reasonable pension.

As good as it is for people in their 50s and beyond, I think turning everybody into an investor has created inherent age-based inequality which becomes especially impactful in the prices of housing (and probably other markets that are expected to retain value, even if not investments, like art).
Sometimes I hold events, and I want to put a little map on the flyer. It's a real pain to manually deal with some SVG of a larger map area, and clip it and style it to fit the space. Does anyone know of any solutions like this for this kind of problem?
Corner crossing being illegal is supreme court precedent for what it's worth. It was not at all a foregone conclusion that the hunters would win here.
It looks like ipinfo works in a fascinating problem space. I see that you had a few “Who is Hiring” posts earlier this year, but none in the May or June threads. Do you have a sense of whether you’ll be looking for more engineers in the near future?
Same here.

I tried a Quest Pro for 30 days, but returned for various reasons - too heavy, poor battery time, rigid support, no top strap, no prescription lenses (at the time), etc. I was expecting Quest 3 to come at a much more reasonable price tag, and incorporate similar specs.

Jury still out, but it seems to be the case. Looking forward to testing it.

Not really. If your building is up to code it should get by just fine, and it's not uncommon to see places that are getting bowled. People here prefer moving into a place that's brand new. The land you purchase will retain its value though, assuming you're in one of the main centers.

When I lived in the United States, the annual deductible was in the many thousands, even with a fairly good health insurance plan, you could easily end up with a bill for $10,000 if you spent a few nights in the hospital. This was also the fact that the insurance would only cover up to a certain percentage of the total bill, so even if you are left owing five or 10%, that could still be quite a lot of money when the hospital is charging well into the six figures.
I got a few good freelancing clients off the “seeking freelancer” thread back when I was contracting. The last one ended up being $100 / hour for a long term gig lasting over a year, which was great money for me at the time.

The "I Expect You to Die" games are really good, there's a third one coming out soon (if I had to guess as a launch title for the 3).

Pistol Whip is an evolution of Beat Saber-esque rhythm games. Very fun, probably my most-played title.

The Last Clockwinder is a brilliant puzzle/action game that would probably be impossible to implement outside of VR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUVjNLc_X2M
~10 years ago I was living in Iran and was hired as a contractor in a US company.I was being paid using Bitcoins (due to sanctions).
No, according to the Inclosures act of 1885.
In 2018 I was hired as full-timer number 13 from an HN thread. I stayed there for 4 years.

The company was 90-some people when I left. We posted in the HN threads every month, but as far as I know, I was the only one hired from HN. One time I asked someone from HR about it, and they told me that we only got a very small number of responses from the HN threads, but that they were generally high-quality candidates, and that it just never worked out. In at least one of the cases we tried to hire the person, but he ended up ghosting us (I remember that one because I interviewed him... and now often notice his username in the comments).
I'm not GP, but here are the ones I've played the most:

- Walkabout mini golf (20h). Great for unwinding and the ball physics are nearly perfect.

- I Expect You To Die, 1 & 2 (15h). If you like puzzle games, these are fantastic. Super addicting the first time you play, but little replay value.

- Demeo. Like D&D-lite (10h). Can play co-op with other Quest users or with Steam on PC.

- Half Life 2 VR mod and Half-Life: Alyx (10h). I loved HL2 when it first came out so there's a massive nostalgia bonus, but Alyx is widely acclaimed.

- Pistol Whip (2h, but getting into it). This is a spiritual successor to beat saber.

I’ve to read twice to make sure they talked about brain simulations and not real humans. Although they said there were a remarkable synchronicity between brain models and their human counterpart, I wonder how realistic the simulation could be, given the stand of the sciences and technologies we have at hand. Sadly, they didn’t describe the tasks they let the simulations solve in details, thus we cannot know more about it.

But I guess they let humans solve the problems, measures the times and brains’ activities and then they use the simulations to explain the reason behind the differences: aka the waiting for gathering enough informations before jumping to conclusion.

Will love it if anyone could shed more light on the matter.

The table size optimization came from a wide keyed table with a single value as data. The proposed solution was simple (wide key, date, data). I showed that storing data as an array with start_date for indexing (one value per day in the array) reduces storage by 40x, and is also faster even with many years worth of data in the array.

The code size optimization used the standard dead code elimination, constant propagation and folding, peephole ASM optimizations. I also found that the hidden test suite had a defect where some valid code could be eliminated and it’s associated tests wouldn’t catch it, but forget the details. I informed them but they let me keep the savings.

I know how to send compiler errors in Racket IDEs using a macro (static code checks). I also made a macro which reads DB table column names and creates variables based on them, so the code would break based on typo checking against the actual table name.

The graphQL optimization came from suspiciously high serialization costs in python Apollo graphQL server. Something like 70% of time handling request in serialization. Someone else figured out a change to help here, it took some prodding them to keep looking for the right fix as 70% time in serialization seemed absolutely nuts.

I don’t buy the hypothesis that it’s simply lack of means driving the lack of fertility. Poorer countries and poorer times both came hand in hand with higher fertility than we see today.

My hypothesis isn’t that it’s not affordable, it’s that people don’t stand to personally benefit from having kids, and birth control is available, so they don’t. If you‘re willing to tolerate any quality of life, well you might just be able to afford kids.

I also think our attitude towards education specifically is a key driver of low fertility. We have invented a system where we literally take the horniest most fertile members of the population and we have them compete in a boundless contest to accumulate more and more prestigious, time consuming, and necessarily more irrelevant accreditations.

There are no constraints preventing population from growing other than people not wanting to have kids.

Yes, *near* perfect is the correct word. Anecdotally, in a 2021 Hyundai, I do get random AEB warnings in the city mostly when merging into fast-flowing traffic.

Thankfully it is possible to have the system set to beep only as slamming on the brakes while merging is an experience everyone wants to avoid.

Also, it sometimes panics when coming to a stop on an incline with a car ahead. I guess it is unable to account for the fact that the car will stop by itself just because the road is going uphill?
True, there is a reason why many international health insurance plans will cover services anywhere in the world except the United States. The US is quite an outlier on what it charges for healthcare compared to most of the rest of the world. And the odd thing is that the care is not justified by the price, it’s not like it’s significantly different than what you get in most European nations.
I moved to an external touchpad years ago on macOS and haven't looked back.

I can just rest my wrist on my table and move my fingers, it's also (IMO, YMMV) easier to find with my hand without looking.

With a mouse, the movement comes all the way from my shoulder and elbow, it's not practical to move it just with your wrist -> neck pain (again, for me, YMMV).

I do have a mouse I connect for gaming and 3D work, those are a huge pain for touchpads, mostly because they often require right-clicking + panning, which isn't really something a touchpad can do. A trackball might work, though?

Janet might be a good contender for games. It is very easy to write C modules for the performance-critical bits.
Basically the issue for the owner here is the most valuable land is the mountain, which is wholly on the public portion. If corner crossing is allowed then he can't sell hunting rights to that mountain for as much because you can just go for free. But if corner crossing isn't allowed he can continue to use the public land while keeping everyone else off.
Tort reform is a red herring here in that most insurance companies do things that they deserve to be sued over as a matter of routine, and they like to talk about ways to statutorily limit your right to sue them like having a system of complaints with a commissioner who has no time to process complaints. I think healthcare costs are a result of lots of different insane things that snowball rather than something simple like too many lawsuits.
"90+% of drug discovery research money is spent at universities"

Afaik this is simply not true, and even if it was, this would be misleading if you consider that most costs are made during clinical trials, which test the effectiveness of the drug.

This example shows that Clojure list comprehensions (the for... syntax) have much of the expressive power of logic programming (the first... syntax).

List comprehensions support a bundle of features including producing multiple values, and filtering them by testing and potentially failing.

Logic programming is that plus some more flexibility (more compositional forms of multiple value production) and some new features (such as using unification to solve for unknowns).

We should expect mainstream languages to evolve to support more logic features, since they provide a more general and more compositional way to do many things. Pattern matching expressions in most languages are a limited special case of logic programming that would benefit from using the more general case. Same with casting constructs, null propagation operators, boolean and/or/not, and the internal compiler logic supporting features like Haskell typeclasses and Rust traits. If we can replace lots of special-case language features a few general constructs, programming will be simpler as Niklaus Wirth advocates for.
Microsoft invested $10 billion in Generative AI (that we know about). As far as we know, they invested nothing in NFTs. Google has been using Generative AI for years, and rewrote their entire Google I/O keynote to talk about it. They've spent billions on it. As far as I know, they spent nothing on blockchain. Amazon has already pre-announced support for Generative AI in AWS. They actually do have a blockchain product, but they certainly don't hype it like they do their AI product. And since they've announced they are building their own foundational model (Titan), you know they are spending at least a billion dollars building it.

So sure, maybe it's all hype, but the big tech companies with the money are certainly putting their money behind AI in a way they did never did with blockchain.
Because the population decline isn’t evenly distributed, it’s happening as the article points out, to rich people. Who of course complain the problem is that they simply don’t have enough money and that’s why they don’t have more kids.
> As the article points out, having a choice, and not being pressured by society into having kids one doesn't want, certainly is a good thing.

Why? If elevating individual “choice” and doing what you “want” results in a society that literally cannot perpetuate itself, I struggle to see how that’s a “good thing” much less “certainly” so. To me, it sounds like the sign of an evolutionary dead end—one that’s sustainable in the short term only by arbitraging a world order where wealth inequalities drive many people to leave their homelands for these otherwise terminal places.
