Working in the field too - I tend to think now that for quite a lot of this strategies, it's not really the genius idea behind that is worth money, it's all the accumulated knowledge about what could kill you that's getting incorporated into the system. Usually boring, tedious stuff create the best moat for the business.
How do you make sure your ticker database is up to date, how do you make sure the dividends calendars are up to date, that you are trading the ticker you want to trade, and not the same name but on a different exchange and with a different fiscality, etc.

It's a bit like the saying about startups - the ideas are worthless about execution.
This is mostly correct, except that there is only one model. This model takes an fMRI and predicts 2 outputs. The first is specialized for retrieval and the second can be fed into a diffusion model to reconstruct images.

You can see the comparison in performance between LAION-5B retrieval and actual reconstructions in the paper. When retrieving from a large enough database like LAION-5B, we can get images that are quite similar to the seen images in terms of high level content, but not so similar in low-level details (relative position of objects, colors, texture, etc). Reconstruction with diffusion models does much better in terms of low-level metrics.
In the past I could only get 3d acceleration working in VMware. Had so many issues on virtualbox.
They tested themselves both on retrieval and reconstruction.

"Thinking about" probably won't do them much good. Seeing them on a regular basis, on the other hand, has great effects on many grandparents. Obviously, this requires that children don't move far away from parents, but many family-oriented parents stay close.
Chrome OS is a desktop operating system built on top of Chrome, using the Linux kernel to jungle Chrome processes.

I was thinking about the learning part, as I’m investing a lot of part learning the phoenix/elixir ecosystem. On the one hand I feel it may be going slower than before, but I’m not sure if it’s because some mental decline or I just know a lot more now and every time I learn some new mechanism I run through a bunch of scenarios in my head from previous experience and have to integrate it with existing knowledge to make it stick.

I can no longer just learn the syntax for how the pubsub works, I have to stop and think how to build an architecture around it, how to create an abstraction for my use case, can it be integrated with Postgres triggers etc.
The alternative is to say, "knowing who we are now, we are going in together. Fifty fifty. Egalitarian. If someday in the future we split, we both walk away with half."

Holding on to the idea that somehow anything is "mine" or "yours" rather than "ours" is a waste, imo. You can try and protect "mine" with a prenup, or you can accept the "ours" nature and make peace with that. I find the latter to be simpler, more elegant.

Couldn't disagree more. All software runs in VMs. The Admin VM never goes to the Internet or runs anything. Therefore it's less necessary to update and reboot it: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/supported-releases/#note-on-dom...

All VMs are easy to backup/restore in a few clicks; cloning for testing and upgrading are amazingly smooth. All this with a great GUI.

Let's agree that it was slop ... but it was slop that made bank for Disney.

You can program in scratch, javascript, python and even c++. You can even change firmware to Zephyr RTOS if you want to do some low level stuff.

IR35 is an absolute clusterfuck and I'm glad I left the UK and contract in Australia now.

It's a huge financial risk being held over your head at every turn. If HMRC decide to investigate that can cost you and you're likely to be on the hook for all sorts of legal fees to fight them.

If the courts side with them and decide that you are, in fact, caught by the legislation, they don't seem to work out liabilities based on what you paid in corporation tax, dividend tax etc, and what would have been owed under PAYE and NI, no, you get sicced with the whole lot again AFAICT. Neither does your determination as an employee entitle you to the employment benefits you would have had - pension contributions, paid time off etc - under that status. The whole thing is a big "fuck you" to the contractor.

IMHO it only exists because of the imbalance in taxes in the UK between earned and invested income. The system is broken and in response, instead of fixing it, they decided to fuck over small players by putting them in jeopardy.

I'm 42, don't have to work any more really and haven't been for some time now, and the innate creativity is not calling me at all. Perhaps I was always a bit dull, lol.

Anyway, people should be seriously prepared for the possibility that their dreams of pursuing projects "once have the time" were just an escape fantasy to help cope with suckiness of work. Lots of people who retire early return back to their previous line of work, because they can't really find meaning in anything, and structured and organized work within some company at least gives a little bit of it. The lesson from that is - don't burn your bridges.

> assumption that everything about our physical universe is described by computational rules

If you understand "physical" to mean "stuff that physics studies" then the assumption is not so surprising - physics itself is the discovery and application of models to correctly predict or retrodict (i.e. compute) the simple measurable behavior of matter, so it is intrinsically unable to study anything unamenable to computation.

In fact Wolfram is engaged in an attempt (as he sees it) to enlarge the computational paradigm of physics from models consisting largely of differential equations to a "multicomputational" paradigm (see [1]).

I think your statement is much more defensible if you drop the word "physical": The assumption that everything about our universe is described by computational rules is not a given. A classic example might be our inability to sufficiently specify "qualia". If our experiences were fully describable by computational rules I suspect we would by now have discovered how to specify them so that we could agree (or disagree) that 'the red I see' looks like 'the red you see', but our inability to do this is notorious. Nonetheless my (and your) experience of red is part of the universe.

What reasons are there to think that the reversed Flynn effect comes from a lack of memorization of rote knowledge like phone numbers, as opposed to attention-sucking social media apps?
I understood that to mean not that OSM can't record that information, just that it doesn't - I assume people tend not to include that level of detail when contributing to OSM. So the benefit of this site is that it focuses contributor's attention on the inscription and prompts them to include it.

It's a cool idea - I wonder if they feed the data back up to OSM. If not they (or someone) presumably could easily enough.

So emerging market investing is quite different from normal developed market investing, simply because each dollar goes for a lot more in an emerging market.

To give an example, the RJR Nabisco takeover cost KKR north of $30B in the 80s. Massively leveraged takeover that ended up flopping so hard because of the amount of debt that KKR loaded up Nabisco with. But if a PE firm were to seek a similar Emerging Market equivalent opportunity, say Ulker Biskuvi in Turkey, it would only cost it $500 million. The PE firm does not need to load the company with debt - they can simply cut costs in the company, increase cash flow and make pay from that, eventually listing/selling off the asset on the local market (on the other hand, a Nabisco relisting would have been a nightmare for banks).

A similar thing is happening in India currently - Blackstone is buying up commercial real estate by the boatload in India. Expensive for local PE firms, but relatively much cheaper for Blackstone compared to buying stuff in Europe for instance.
Separate account transactions can't accidentally cause a critical bill payment to fail from the bills account (joint or individually managed). They de-risk the effect of small purchases, which it's fine for one person to keep to themselves, on the bill payments which affect all partners.

Purchases might cause insufficient funds for topping up the bills account later, but that's on a longer time cycle, and someone will know about it. So it doesn't eliminate the need to communicate about large purchases (or the sum total of many small ones), but it does eliminate the need to "check in" before individual purchase decisions, and eliminates showing each other the fine details of all your personal transactions when each of you sees the statements of your joint account(s).

E.g. some people are happier buying a bagel every day for lunch, or maybe an ice cream, or trying something else, when their partner is not posted an electronic trail that shows each bagel or ice cream purchase every day, exactly what time of day the transaction occurred, and price accurate enough to infer number of fillings.
I have always wondered to what extent GDP (price-adjusted or not) reflects standard of living. By different sources, GDP per capita for Britain is only 60% that of the US, but visiting these two countries I don't see much of a difference in standard of living.
> But hey, at least they retracted their opinion on generics.

No, we really didn't.

Generics were acceptable to the community only because they are fully backwards compatible with existing code, and can be safely ignored if you don't need them.

Which, not at all surprising, is what most golang code still does. Because as it turns out, outside of "collections" of one sort or another, practical use cases for generics are not that easy to find. Most code written never gets to see more than one type to begin with, and more than 2 is already a stretch.

If anything, the addition of generics showcased to the larger community, how little many of the vaunted features!!!!! that people keep demanding and labeling as "essential" are actually needed for a widely accepted and excellent language.
I found that the lack of pollution at the beginning of lockdown increased air quality and my sense of smell became more noticeable and sensitive. Particularly in many walks around gardens and the countryside which was in spring. Or perhaps my perceptions of the smells increased rather than being able to smell more things.

Even three years later i've still a good smell sense. I love it.

It's possible that I had an early infection that triggered this response.
I lost my sense of smell temporarily because of a Covid infection, and it was gone completely - I could stick my nose into a jar of ground coffee and not smell a thing. Funnily enough, they say that if you can't smell, your sense of taste is also impaired, but I could taste food just fine...

Rolling updates mean that I have to carefully choose what to install in order to keep the maintenance costs down. This has the side effect of reducing the attack surface.

“Multiplexing” the three channels by playing short and different sounds on an individual channel, makes it seem there are more tracks.

I have never seen a good reason why they rushed to launch without the plate. "Because we want to" isn't a good reason.

"Our funding agency demands we meet KPI or we lose 2024 budget" is plausible. It's a reason I can understand if I don't like it.

And, "fuck engineering concerns, do it my way" i can believe as well. Because the owner has that in him (A terrible reason)

Lots of people will doubtless say this is hindsight talk, and it may well be. But, what was the specific reason to launch without a mitigation which was in planning? If they had planning for the plate they knew risks existed the plate was designed to prevent.

"We thought it would be ok" is (-sorry) pretty bad reasoning. It's two holes of the cheese grater away from killing people. NASA doesn't like people dying, they know how it affects them, longterm

Hi, I'm the first author of the paper and I read your blog post. The reason I chose k=2 is because it's recommended to use n^{1/2} and I wanted to pick a k that's compatible with 5-shot setting. But you are right this is a bit odd. As I mentioned in both the paper and the twitter, different values of k will affect the result and I reported the _max_ result we can get so it does mean an ideal situation when the guess is always right. I also use this strategy for W2V and SentBERT. But it doesn't make the result top2 accuracy. As far as I know, top2 accuracy means in the top2 predicted classes, either one is correct, we score. However, as you mentioned, in knn when k=2, there is a situation when the 2 nearest neighbours point to the same class - we are missing another class candidate if reporting top2 accuracy. But I would love to add results for different strategies and different k values when I upload newest version to arxiv when I have time. The strategy of "decrement" you mentioned in the blog is really nice and I would love to add it to the repo if you want.
I apologize for the short and late reply; I haven't checked the repo yet. I'm preparing for tomorrow's thesis defence and will reply & resolve the issue when I finish.
They don’t all notice a long time pattern at exactly the same time. Alpha decays over time as more people notice and exploit it, or the market slowly changes.

When alpha disappears overnight, it’s almost surely for reasons unrelated to other statistical event players - e.g. a tectonic shift caused by some bankruptcy, interest change, political decision, etc.

However, many traders do not know how to properly model and backtest. It works on backtest, fails in the real world, and they explain that “alpha is gone” when in reality it wasn’t there to begin with - it’s just that their backtest was bad - usually overfit or unrealistic assumptions.
I think this kind of analysis basically exemplifies the MBA disease Hollywood has. They think that as long as they can show a profit, things are going fine. But in the meantime fans are catching on and goodwill is being burnt. The fanboys become less fanatical and the performance of future movies begins to suffer.
