The way to tell signal from noise is with enough statistics. That’s one benefit HFT has over “traditional” trading - it gives you thousands of data points per day. The other way to quickly get thousands of data points per day is to trade slowly but across many assets (which is a much harder game, granted).

Either way, if you know what you are doing, your backtest should also give you a good idea of the variance, and that should tell you if a 3 week loss is statistically probable or not. Personally, I guess I’d stay away from such strategies - I’d prefer a much lower alpha with much lower variance - so that I have effective feedback from the market.

Some firms, e.g. RenTech and Virtu , manage to have very consistent alpha. You haven’t seen a good argument because people who make money don’t care to convince you.
It’s an artifact, you’re right.

Also, in the GINI table on the wiki page, Netherlands and Sweden have more wealth inequality than the US.

Also, I find the GINI formula quite flawed as it puts India as being more equal than many EU states which I find hard to believe.

To me wealth inequality is how much of the country's wealth the top % own versus the bottom %, and at least in Germany and Austria it's pretty bad.

Linux is just one piece, and also quite old; by your logic we should really just call it a GNU system. In fact, from a user perspective, a GNU/HURD or Debian GNU/kFreeBSD system far more closely resembles what you're calling Linux than, say, Android which literally uses the Linux kernel.
Maybe. I don't recommend it for the typical user of this site (probably could have phrased that one better — I believe `EVa5I7bHFq9mnYK` should use 9.9.9.9 instead of Google or Cloudflare, not that they should implement my parallel bullshit).

It makes sense here because of bad peering: 8.8.8.8 may be responding in 90 ms right now, but could very well start taking 200 ms a few hours later. So I use multiple services as a backup of sorts.
Same. Recently I tried Brave because of all the praise but turns out the browser can only display around 80 tabs on the tab bar and every further tab simply never shows up even if it's in the foreground. I've seen mobile browsers handle many tabs better. I'm staying with Firefox, though I think Brave is probably still a good recommendation for users that don't want to go through the effort of installing an ad blocker.

Edit: so I just looked and it turns out you can enable tab bar scrolling on chrome://flags/#scrollable-tabstrip. Why is that even disabled by default?
Republic by Plato, translated by Paul Shorey
I'll confess the adventure game looks promising. Exciting to see the entry using something other than an FPS to get into the field.

That said, the cynic in me thinks it has low odds of commercial success. Last I looked, the FPS cut of the market was obscenely dominant.
I believe it differs dramatically for each person. What works for me may not work for anyone else. Here's what is working well for me:

* Taking long walks on trails, without my phone or podcasts.

* Tending my little garden.

* Meditating. Not some prescribed formula, but something I sort of "fell into." However, some common meditative tools have proved very useful: body scans and breath work.

* Being deeply curious about myself. Why did/do I want X? Do the reasons feel right? Why did Y make me angry/sad/happy?

* Practicing acceptance and letting go of things that don't serve me.

The tricky part is that I don't believe any of this would work for someone else if they just tried to go through the motions of it.

I do believe, though, that being deeply curious about yourself is the way to start in figuring out what you need to connect.

Question your motives. Question your emotional responses. Dig until you understand. Dig harder when half your brain is screaming at you in pain to _stop_ digging.
Ah, a thread on the Lobs has pointed me at the "DATA stage" documentation which mentions SpamAssassin and rspamd support. Be nice if it supported the rspamd socket rather than spawning rspamc for each delivery but it'd work in a pinch.

Agreed! Also, while i think i used it once and then never again (for no real reason), i remember there used to be some scripts, or rather a suite of scripts named, like, Greasemonkey or GreaseScripts or something...that allowed you to block certain actions from happenineg on websites, as well as customize many other elements of your experience on websites...conceptually like web extensions can provide ad blocking nowadays...anyway, as i recall, some of these scripts/functions allowed for semi-blocking blink and other features that users might have found annoying...like i noted, i used it once since blink and other banner add-like things didn't bother me too much...but this and your comments here reminded me of that suite of scripts - and how much power they granted users within their browser and browsing experience.

Yes. It's just not very well thought out. And unfortunately the "critical" ecosystem on youtube and social media makes this even worse, when films are torn apart by people who can't read subtext and misinterpret the views of a character for the views of a writer.

Doing "wokeness" by box-ticking also has counterproductive effects when writers try to get too many things into one film, resulting in lots of one-dimensional characters. It works a lot better when the diversity originates from somewhere slightly outside the system but intrinsic to the film, such as Everything Everywhere All At Once.
It also, in some situations, returns a *string" that doesn't have the null terminator, which means it is giving the caller something that literally isn't a string.

Transmission lines and storage are costly. When these costs are factored in, solar is possibly much more expensive than nuclear:

"True cost of using wind and solar to meet demand was $272 and $472 per MWh"

https://web.archive.org/web/20220916003958/https://files.ame...

Current mass deployment of solar could prove to be very beneficial in the long run though, as 1. it leads to advances in the mass-manufucturing of solar panels which in turn produce reductions in per unit costs, and 2. it encourages research into energy storage, like methane production from CO2 and solar energy.
Congratulations! Very interesting project !
I have been running my own servers with ISPConfig with PostFix and Dovecot for many years, but this modern all-in-one solution seems better integrated and complete.
As others have commented, rspamd integration would be a great addition, although I think using Proxmox Mail Gateway instead would give more control with more ease. Proxmox doesn't need any special integration. It works like a firewall for mail.
But it isn't different. People have been using things like Markov chains to experiment with NPC dialogue for well over a decade.

It just never got widespread adoption because it's just not interesting, and LLMs are no different here. The dialogue is still empty, despite being deeper and more grammatically complex than previous attempts.

If every farmer in an RPG hands out the same "collect 20 bear asses" quest it doesn't matter if they all have "detailed" randomly generated backstories and can opine about the game world, real world philosophy, or the 2024 US elections.
I think value-based care is the only real incentive on this. Otherwise, there is simply no reason for anyone to care enough. Even the insurers, they found a way to make money by making sure their premiums factor in these things. In the expense of the patient. As long as the drug doesn't kill people, who cares if it works if I make money off it as a pharma? Unfortunately, value-based care can only be pushed top-down. Patients are not in a position of power against pharma companies on this matter.

Ask HN: Startup for RISC-V?
I think I'm in a good position to start a startup. I have a family member that is good with business management stuff and legal aspects of all of this, I'm very young (19), have some disposable income but I would need to get some more for a startup and I have no expenses (living with family).

SiFive has been pretty successful but I it's not a realistic goal to compete with them. Is there something involving RISC-V that could be made profitable without an upfront investment that is > 100'000 EUR? From what I understand, Mikrotik, a company from my home country Latvia, became successful because they didn't limit their devices behind a license. I just don't know how to find opportunities like that to take advantage of. Why I'm asking about RISC-V specifically? Because it's something that interests me, the benefits of that ISA look promising and I assume there's less competition.

In summary, how do I find problems that could be solved by or technologies, services that could be improved upon by using RISC-V?

Unsure why he needs to adopt the unnecessary axiom of calling existing models "human-aligned". If they were trained from random noise, fresh deep neural nets are the closest things we have to blank slates, which are utterly alien to us and the animal world. Every neural net in nature comes with a bevy of pre-baked patterns that form in the womb and, for humans, continue forming outside of it.
But then you get duplicates, since Mozilla made it a pain to disable the main tab bar. I'm using a Chromium offshoot (Arc) but I also like how Vivaldi handles vertical tabs. Firefox doesn't just compete with Chromium itself, but the entire ecosystem.

If it requires explicitly allocating memory, then it is low level to most contemporary programmers.
Yeah, ChromeOS is actually pretty good for nearly everyone. Perhaps most importantly, they're incredibly popular in schools right now and have been for a few years. Google has definitely been working towards a long play with shifting the younger generations mindshare towards ChromeOS and away from Windows for productivity. It's interesting because it does actually have some of the necessary holes punched through to allow for serious power/dev usage, but is also secure by default and as usable as the websites you go to.

A short explanation as to how this works:

The voice can be modeled using two main components. The vocal chords are a periodic source of sound, which is then filtered by the mouth and tongue to produce vowel sounds [0]. The filter can be modeled as a set of band-pass filters, each of which let through a specific band of frequencies — these are called ‘formants’ in acoustic phonetics. Different vowel sounds are produced by combining formants at different pitches in a systematic way [1]. You can hear this yourself by very slowly moving your mouth from saying an ‘eeeee’ sound to an ‘ooooo’ sound: if you listen carefully, you can hear one formant changing pitch while the others stay the same. (I like [2] as an intro to this kind of stuff.)

The ‘voder’ works by having one key for each possible frequency band-pass filter. Pressing multiple keys adds the resulting sounds, producing an output sound with distinct formants. If you use the right formants, the resulting sound is very similar to that produced by a human mouth saying a specific vowel! Software such as the vowel editor in Praat [3] take it further, by allowing selection of formants from a standard vowel chart.

[0] Consonantal sounds are a bit more complicated, since they tend to involve various different noise sources and transient disturbances of the sound. For instance, /ʃ/ (the ‘sh’ sound) is noise of a lower frequency than /s/. I can’t work out how Harper produced the difference between those two sounds in the video — it seems to be impossible to do this with the live demo. In fact, any sort of pitch control seems to be impossible in the demo.

[1] This is how overtone singing and throat singing works! Selectively amplifying one formant gives the impression that you’re singing that note as the same time as the ‘base’ pitch. In fact, if you do that, your vocal cords are producing a pitch plus all its overtones, while your mouth is enhancing one overtone while filtering out all the others.

Not OP, but personally I'm using Tab Center Reborn with a bit of custom browser CSS to make it slide out on hover (so there are only favicons visible until hovered). It's just a vertical UI for tabs with handy filtering entry box, rather than a complex tab management thing like TST. The only thing I'm missing is filtering/jumping to the tabs that play sounds - it's easy to miss a tiny icon when you have thousands of tabs open :P
You would have to compare prices for Costco's Kirkland brand to HEB's proprietary brand. Also, Costco's goal is not to be the lowest price. Their goal is to be the lowest price relative to the quality, and their claim is they do the due diligence of providing a minimum level of quality for their products such that the customer will be more likely to be satisfied with the product than at other stores.
Could just offer it to the user. They might have said only drivers of 4.5 or greater. So the first one would be shown, but have the cheaper $26 one to the left and the $35 4.9 star one to the right. Let the user decide which they want.
Sorry for the confusion. I was using “family” to emphasize that these were unrelated people in the same house. The idea being that the car-sharing dynamic is different between multiple families (or unrelated individuals) than within one family.

I agree with the author here, and quite frankly as much as I like GNU/Linux it is a long way from being a usable operating system for my parents and other non-technically inclined people (to the point that I'm writing this on a Mac because I'm in uni and I don't have time to deal with getting the some of the software I have to use to work) I personally hate Chrome OS, but it is a Linux desktop. Now do we want a FOSS GNU/Linux desktop? Yes, and this isn't it. But it is a Linux desktop and should be credited as such.

If you'd been paying attention to what the writers and actors on strike right now are saying—including some of the A-list ones who are genuinely quite rich and famous—you'd see that, at least as a class, they do not, in fact, snub their noses at the working class.

The idea that Hollywood actors and writers are arrogant elitists who look down on "regular" working folks is, to a large extent, propaganda, specifically intended to destroy solidarity in moments like these.
