I think this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/31734725/5141328 by one of Julia's creators fits here. The TLDR is that homoiconicity is a mix of two separate things: how willing a language is to represent itself, and how close the syntax for code is to the syntax for the data-structure representing that code. Julia meets the first of these, but not the second. Whether this matters depends on why you care about homoiconicity. The biggest difference between Julia and Python here is that Julia has syntactic macros and python doesn't (although see https://peps.python.org/pep-0638/)

Feel free to contact me if you want to know more about my experiences and knowledge
No. Here is an example:

I have 1 BTC, worth $27,000 today.

I lend that 1 BTC. I'm getting 1% on it. This is better than the pet rock that it otherwise is.

I can then borrow safely 50% of the value of that BTC, so $13,500 worth of goods. Now, I've magically given myself an additional $13,500, that I didn't have before.

The price of BTC would have to drop 50% before I'd be liquidated (some of my BTC would be automatically sold to cove the loan). Certainly, BTC can drop 50% in value... but if you are paying attention, you should have more than enough time to pay back that loan or add more BTC. In practice, BTC drops that much slowly over time (like a month or two), not in one go. It also works the other way, if BTC gains in value, you have less to worry about.

Let's say I pick to borrow ETH ($1800). I can now borrow 7.5 ETH at 3%. I can then lend that 7.5 ETH at 5%. I can then take those 5% earnings and sell those or even restake them.

Money legos. None of this requires permission or credit reports, just transactions on a blockchain. If you use a chain that has far lower fees (like Polygon, Arbitrium, Avalanche), then the fees are a rounding error in the cost of operations.
I think the greater worry is that the gap in quality and finances between any second tier and the NBA or NFL would be so enormous that you're virtually guaranteed to bankrupt any relegated team (decreased TV money, sponsorship, merch, gate receipts) and to completely crush any newly promoted team. That is unless you dumped a huge amount of capital into building or subsidising the second tier for a few seasons at least.

I don't think an MLS second tier would be too far behind in terms of quality, and the defacto second tier - the USL Championship - currently has attendance roughly double that of the Scottish second tier[0] which is ample to sustain a professional league, and that'd surely improve if there was the possibility of promotion to the MLS on the line. But if I understand it correctly there's some weird system where the MLS organization itself owns the teams, so presumably they would be resistant to any of them being relegated, unless they also owned those in the second tier.

But in reality promotion and relegation isn't a thing in US professional sport, and it's not structured such that it's really feasible or desirable. That's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just different.

[0] - 5,061/game on average over the 27 USL teams in the regular season (rising to 7,841 in the post-season) vs 2,237/game in the mostly-pro Scottish Championship
I found other impactful and more recent papers via MirrorThink.ai that discuss various aspects of quantitative finance, trading, optimal execution, energy prices, GARCH, option valuation, portfolio selection, Kelly Criterion, Capital Asset Pricing Model, optimal trading signals, Efficient Market Hypothesis, Black-Scholes model, and market overreaction. Here are some key findings from these papers:

1. Portfolio Optimization-Based Stock Prediction Using Long-Short Term Memory Network in Quantitative Trading (Published on 2020-01-07) - This paper discusses the use of Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks in quantitative trading to minimize risk and maximize return based on historical performance. It highlights the benefits of quantitative trading, such as lower commissions, anonymity, control, discipline, transparency, access, competition, and reduced transaction costs.

2. A Markov-Switching VSTOXX Trading Algorithm for Enhancing EUR Stock Portfolio Performance (Published on 2021-05-02) - This paper presents a Markov-switching trading algorithm that uses the VSTOXX index to enhance the performance of a EUR stock portfolio. The algorithm is based on the mean-variance portfolio selection, which aims to maximize the Sharpe ratio.

3. Price discovery in the cryptocurrency option market: A univariate GARCH approach (Published on 2020-08-31) - This paper applies two different GARCH processes to Bitcoin and CRIX, showing that the GARCH(1,1) option pricing model provides realistic price discovery within the bid-ask prices suggested by the market.

4. The Capital Asset Pricing Model (Published on 2021-09-03) - This paper discusses the evolution of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and its connection to behavioral accounts of evolutionary asset pricing, segmented markets, multifractality, and the fractal market hypothesis. It highlights the importance of considering heterogeneity among investors and the implications for the efficient market hypothesis.

Wow! an actual case of "life imitates art". It sounds similar to the plot of the 2005 movie "Stealth":

"In the near future, the Navy develops a fighter jet piloted by an artificial intelligence computer. The jet is placed on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific to learn combat maneuvers from the human pilots aboard. But when the computer develops a mind of its own, it's the humans who are charged with stopping it before it incites a war..."

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382992/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8...

Stealth is a pretty good movie with a "Top Gun meets Michael Crichton" vibe, but who would have guessed that some similar could be real!?!
Kagi’s Orion browser also has this. I like it.

If you were going to post in a new group it was customary to read the FAQ and/or lurk for a while.

But it's also true that Usenet worked best with A) a lower volume of posts, and B) posters who put effort into proper threading and quoting.

In an ideal world, every new poster would read the FAQ and lurk for a while, then make their best effort to fit into community norms when they start posting. Usenet was born in that idealized "first age" of the internet. But now we are in the Eternal September age (and the age of highly automated spam). We really need highly sophisticated tools of moderation and norm enforcement.

We also need it to be as easy as possible for new, unsophisticated users to get up to speed so they can start contributing. Installing an app from one of the official app stores is just about the most you can ask of new users before you risk bouncing them out the door. News readers (and potentially other tools for managing killfiles, distributed moderation, etc.) are a very big ask. You'd essentially be restricting the community to hard core, tech-savvy folks. And that's a real shame, because some of my favourite subreddits are for non-tech hobbies, where I'd find it unusual for users to have a lot of tech knowledge.

The Black Scholes paper is actually pretty difficult, and not terribly rewarding with respect to developing intuition. To develop the intuition, get a full handle on put-call parity, the construction of replicating portfolios, and then risk-neutral pricing. Additionally, always have an eye on the intrinsic value, time value and insurance value of options and how they move with respect to the options characteristics.
also we are very close to moving Julia's parsing (but not lowering) to pure Julia as well.

Seems like a good move from skimming the article, but I think we should try to achieve these sorts of things by weakening the existing laws that allow companies to do this instead of adding additional laws. The former adds overhead, the latter removes it. Specifically this could be addressed by weakening and shortening IP protections, and if we're going to mandate things, let's mandate the open sourcing/bequeathing to the commons of the relevant intellectual property after a certain amount of time with no provisions for extending the "protections"
By this, do you mean 'the second most intelligent thing' after humans?
FFS.

The graph shown, UK house prices change gives the impression housing price is falling back to normal. When in reality it is not since it is Year-on-year percentage, and they are not even back to Pre COVID 2019 level, which were extremely high already. Had they actually shown with absolute price, the 3.4% decrease is nothing more than a rounding error.
The creative / interesting part with the WH40k content is that you can't just take a chunk of text from some book and drop it into the voice synthesizer.

In order to get the Attenborough feel, it is necessary to use the proper vocabulary and word order along with punctation hints for pausing and phrases.

Without that work you get something closer to the Joe Rogan fake podcast where things just feel "off".
Ah I see, thanks for your answer!
A legit incredible journey! Well done.
Yes, but it's not quite the same, because both the collateral and the asset being borrowed belong in the same asset class. It's as if you're renting a car but you have to put up the same car that you're renting (only in a different colour) as collateral. It seems a little pointless. Usually, people want to rent a car because they don't have a car. Likewise, they want to borrow money, because they don't have money.
Hi there! I'm the author of the article.If you have a programming skills and a mathematics background, it is possible to break into the industry. Even better if your current role is as a data scientist of machine learning engineer.

I work as a quant on a second tier hedge fund. The pool of potential firms is actually pretty big, but most people think that the only shops out there are citadel, two sigma or rentech. That is definitely not the case, and the salaries are still excellent (comparable to FAANG).
Interesting, they forbid to 'breed' it but that's apparently not really how it works for these particular animals. A single individual will be happy to reproduce without any breeding taking place and there isn't much that you could do to stop it short of killing the creature.

Essentially NY City is making short term rentals (rentals < 30 days) illegal for most renters. The only exception is a room without a lock, for up to 2 people, in a residence that has shared living space and is occupied by the owner.
As someone more familiar with HIPAA than the average lay person (but far from an expert).

There's a lot that HIPAA does to both restrict access to data and ensure that's it's shared freely among institutions. It's kind of this weird open-secret system that works because people get fired for even minor offense.

I don't know what life was like before HIPAA, but after HIPAA it creates a lot of risk aversion. These seems to come out in two ways:

* Risk of identifiable information leaking via a published report. Anonymizing data is much harder than most people anticipate.

* Internal auditing and appropriate use. "Opening" a patient's record has to either be (1) for their care (2) an explicitly permitted use from the patient (research). That means while an institution must be a steward of their patient's data, they cannot simply use it however they want. This isn't much different AWS's handling of customer databases. While AWS keeps all of the data on their servers, they don't really have access to it.
In my case, I've been suffering from disc herniation induced sciatica for 5 months

When I say suffering, I mean it - I haven't been able to stand, sit, lie down, walk, do anything without constant and extreme pain. For months on end now.

There is a gold standard study called SPORT that proves more or less beyond all doubt that, in the long run, there is no difference in outcomes for patients who get disc herniations surgically removed vs those who don't. Disc herniations eventually heal themselves, all surgery does is fix them sooner than they otherwise would have.

So the tax-funded public health care system in Sweden and other similar countries do not surgically remove disc herniations other than in extreme cases. (loss of bowel control etc)

Thankfully, in the States, I'm able to have the surgery, so I will.

I couldn't care less if in the long run there is no difference in the aggreggate - I don't want to wait another year or two or more for the herniation to heal itself.

I'm not a statistic, I'm a human being lol.

I use ghost and have had a good experience, but more competition is great.
Indeed. What're you thinking that its inclusion in the training set will do here?
My guess as to why there aren’t more in-store demo units is because of the need for space and staff onsite for a smooth demo. Unlike Apple, meta only has one storefront. The issue of cleanliness also calls for the need for onsite staff

The best they could do is subsidize the cost which they have done multiple times in the past. The lowest price for a Quest 2 that I’ve seen is $229
So no then

> They are optimising for financial independence.

And WHY exactly would someone do that? So that they don't _have to_ work. Optimizing for rest does not mean resting 100% of the time. That will also lead to depression. IMO, optimizing for rest means having the freedom to work or rest as much as you need to be happy. Financial freedom provides that because one can choose to work or rest whenever they desire.

Perhaps this is a dispute over the definition of rest.

On the other hand there are thousands of things that will make my life easier and you're right I will not spend 30,000 dollars a month to make my life easier.

At any rate I'm not sure if I think this thing would actually make my life easier. Arguments:

1. For all the whining CSS is actually one of the easiest parts of the stack, when there is a CSS bug it is generally something like - a thing is slightly off position on this screen size or the color is a bit wrong not it is possible to access another customer's account if you know what day they signed up and their email (not real bug that I've ever encountered)

2. I'm relatively good at CSS so probably this will produce worse CSS than I would do myself - although nowadays the libraries that are most popular tend to hide the 'complexity' of CSS in a JavaScript layer that produces the actual crap CSS for you so whatever.

3. I have to click and point on things etc. I hate that. That makes things slower for me. I write text in files. quick.

This is actually probably not for a developer - but for a designer who can have a design view of what the developer did and tweak a few things with this tool, hopefully make a PR and so forth.

Yes it should be bought by a company because then - tax deductible and designer is using with developer so on team.

I think a key underlying differentiator here is the class of account: in old world bank accounts I expect a lot more diligence in transfers out of a Savings Account than say a Checking Account, and this Apple account is entirely branded and labeled a Savings Account, so this all tracks with my understanding of how the account is supposed to work.

(And yeah, even if you are the one initiating the transfer for your own accounts, it might still be a coerced action and an attempt at fraud. Some due diligence there isn't the worst thing for what is intended to be an infrequently withdrawn account by account type.)
that’s inappropriate and reminds me of the stereotype that “marketing is all about profit”. There are tons of marketing papers talking about ethical things useful to consumers.
I can say that none of Oracle, Sybase, or Microsoft Sql Server really aim at conforming to the standard. While they will often try to use standard syntax for new features if such syntax exists, there is tons of old non-conforming syntax that there seems to be no real effort in addressing, even by adding new options, etc. Some of these mean really common features deviate significantly from what the standard requires.

PostgreSQL does mostly aim at conforming to the standard. They will invent new syntax when needed, But compared to the those previously mentioned, Postgres seems to prefer to stick closer to the standard whenever possible, including adding standard syntax for existing features whenever possible.

PostgreSQL does have some places where there is deliberate non-conformance (beyond just incompletely implemented features). They document many deliberate deviations (other than unimplemented or partially implemented features) and if they think they can be fixed in the future or not: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_vs_SQL_Standard . Looking at the list I'd say only one especially likely to bite a developer is the default escape character for LIKE clauses, or the non-standard trailing space behavior for character(n) datatypes (but who used fixed length character datatypes instead of varchar or text?). And obviously not yet implemented features could bite people, but many such features are optional to implement anyway, so...

I cannot speak about MySQL or MariaDB, due to insufficient familiarity.
