> The assumption of technical analysis is that those with the deeper pockets move the market in certain ways and patterns

If those with deeper pockets had reliably exploitable trading strategies, other teams with equally deep pockets would be exploiting them. You need to simultaneously believe that widely known and understood patterns exist which are profitable to exploit but also that nobody with large sums of money and a financial incentive to profit is interested in taking that easy money.
Something something cells, interlinked.
"you can't fire a state employee for criticizing an elected official" isn't entirely true, though. If the Governor's press secretary gets up to the podium and says "my boss is a corrupt fuckwit", they'll get fired, because of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garcetti_v._Ceballos.
Well sure if you approach the situation with a dictionary definition of family you will be disappointed. And to be honest your definition of family is from a hallmark card. That isn’t most people’s experience.
And I think that's what we are seeing in the video. The eddy current effect isn't permanent like in superconductivity. They have to keep moving the magnet around.
Ah, nice to see a mention of M. I don't see it mentioned a lot on HN and get the feeling most folks here probably don't even really know about it because it's so embedded in PowerQuery and PowerBI. It's actually not a bad language, it's just quite verbose in terms of the keywords.

I actually draw on my experience with M a lot in terms of the input that I give to PRQL because for data munging M is quite a good language.

Until we did the [] to {} syntax swap in 0.9, PRQL actually started to look a lot like M because M is the only other language I know that has [] for tuples.

Is that related to Twitter, I mean X?
A bayesian model will use previous data to calculate probabilities, so using AI to calculate a survey based on previous surveys sounds like a logical evolution no?

That's something you might typically do by hand when running a survey and, say, comparing it to a benchmark.

The problems will be similar to most AI problems I suppose: people who don't really understand the limitations of AI or the results it produces take the output of AI as gospel.

My own thought is: what does it mean to 'simulate' a survey if the outcome is that people treat it as a 'live' or 'empirical' one?
The first this month.
Trinity and Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie (1995)
Included is footage of nuclear tests starting with the May 1945 trial run to Trinity (the first atomic bomb), a 100-ton TNT blast used to scale and calibrate the Trinity device, and ending with the last U.S. atmospheric nuclear detonation (called Tightrope) of the Nike Hercules air defense missile in 1963. Also included are test series in the South Pacific, footage of the firing of the U.S. Army's atomic cannon at the Nevada Test Site in 1953, and color images of multi-megaton high altitude air bursts over Johnston Island just before the limited test ban treaty went into effect (banning all except underground detonations) in 1963.
There are already quite complex language models which can run on a CPU. Outside of the government banning personal LLMs, the chance of there not existing a working fully FOSS and open data rewrite model, if it becomes known that ChatGPT output is marked, seems very low.

The water marking techniques also can not work after some level of sophisticated rewriting. There simply will be no data encoded in the probabilities of the words.
I _think_ Swift did it properly. At least that’s what they claim[1]

[1]: https://www.swift.org/blog/utf8-string/

There were many discussions on how to handle strings in the forums too.
Remarkably, it is not possible to access "abc"[1] as it has unpredictable performance; instead one has to build the index and making this should make the developer realize the operation is costly.
All in all most beginners in Swift hate working with strings because it’s not intuitive at first, but to be fair in almost all languages strings handling is not done properly.
It is not a "fact" that climate change will cause our extinction. Point me to one serious report that says that. Your nonstop doomerism has half the kids believing that absolute lie.
another example, you can still buy lead based solder, even at a local hardware store.
> Something long enough to be a blog post like that isn't what the site is for

It wasn't a blog post on the site; I extended it to a blog post after mods closed it and flagged it for deletion. As a top 0.5% or whatever contributor of SO, believe me, I know what the site is for.

> but it's not some big effortful thing

It doesn't have to be. It's my thing. It sounds like me, it carries my spirit. Nobody else would have written it then. It reflects a period of my life, how I perceived things; and more importantly, its continued existence has an impact on me regardless how it's licensed. Say, if my writing style, or my choice of words, or my tone were associated with a traumatic event in my past, SO's insistence on keeping it up would be explicitly abusive, don't you agree?

Even if no such event had occured, SO's or HN's insistence on keeping my content online against my wishes is also abusive; it deprives me of control over my thoughts and my words. Is it legal? Yes, 100%. But, is it ethical? No, I don't think so. And for what? For keeping the answer for "how can I simulate a click on a DOM element?" online, as if that problem immediately becomes "unsolveable" when that comment, heck, the whole SO web site goes down. What a pretentious excuse to keep your income stream steady.

> I wouldn't care about it that much

You would if you were me.
It's not accounting magic at all.

A $1000 server with a 4 year life span is expensed at $250 a year.

A $1000 server with a 6 year life span is expensed at $167 a year.

You convert your server lifespan from the former to the latter you get $83, or 33%, savings a year.

If you (intend to) keep your servers for 6 years and do not make this adjustment, then you're doing a false accounting, not the other way around.
They've said in the past its an enterprise/business version with collaboration features and such.
We’ve built an open-source tool, called Packj [1], to offer developers more insights into packages, such as risky install hooks, embedded binary blobs, and other malicious/risky packages. It performs static/dynamic/metadata analysis to look for "suspicious” attributes.

Arc is pretty good. The vertical tabs are great, and the same tab list appears in all other windows you have open. For someone who easily loses track of tabs, this helps dramatically, and prevents the situation where you have multiple windows open, each with similar tabs.

The other great feature is the "Little Arc" window that appears when opening links in other apps. This lets you check something out, close the window, and resume what you were doing, preventing you from getting sucked into the Web and away from the conversation you were having.

I don't find much else compelling, but these are both really nice. For some reason, I don't care at all about the tiling system or the Boosts feature (modifying pages to remove elements, change fonts, etc) even though people talk about those a lot. If they can think of one or two more really useful features (and communicate them properly on the website) then they'll gain a lot of users.

At least, they'll gain a lot of users on the Mac. The biggest downside is the lack of Windows and Linux support. They're working on Windows. I don't see them doing Linux at all, but who knows.
I'm confused as to why package signing isn't standard for all package managers.

Didn't Pypi just remove signing too?

> Extending a function to accept null, under dynamic typing, can break a program which depends on the documented behavior of that function having thrown an exception for that case.

This just means that the preconditions are “the value is not null” even if there are no types to capture that precondition. I was pretty careful not to use the word “type” in the comment you’re replying to.
I’d be down. Shoot me an email: hn@valine.io
By lower-end I meant that the Airs are quite low-end in general (compared to Pro/Studio). I have the maxed-out 24gb, but 16gb may be more common among people who might use an Air for this kind of thing.
Hmm, maybe the atomic bomb? The wright brothers's first flight took place about 120 years ago, so it doesn't qualify. However, in both cases, people knew it was a matter of time before someone figured the proper recipe. Room temperature/pressure semiconductors? That was still science fiction yesterday.

In short, you are probably right, with the sibling commenting on (BJT) transistors.
I'd extend the definition to

They almost certainly meant September 2019.
It is already in use in WebEx.
What enforcement mechanism does the government use in this plan?

The answer is none. That’s why it’s not government censorship. It’s a completely voluntary. There’s not even a stick nor a treat involved.
> As a result, it really tells us — and everyone else — nothing about you. All it does is stop you from being able to sign up again.

Which means it tells them something about you.

What about this scheme prevents identification through somebody scanning your iris to get your hash on the pretext of a legitimate purpose, then connecting your hash to your actual identity and passing it on?

This seems like a large risk, considering how many companies exist entirely to compile data from disparate databases into a single record. The existence of those sorts of businesses is why there is no such thing as an anonymous unique identifier.
From what I recall the problem was on some devices it was rendered as a “sci-fi zapper” or squirtgun and on others it was a fairly realistic depiction of a gun. Leading to some misunderstandings…
> fundamental best practice to always wash your hands thoroughly with soap if you handle leaded solder

But people don't, particularly students, and sometimes they also let their irons run too hot at which point fumes become an issue. Also, there is an easy alternative, so why not.

If the choice is lead superconductor or not, nobody is going to pause on a use case because there is lead. If they do, and if this is real, please let me know--I'd love to have them as competition.

> might want to read more in the links I shared about the harmful effects of lead before "whatabouting" to other problems of electronics recycling/waste

The point is, whether a RTP superconductor does or doesn't contain lead is irrelevant to its adoption. The advantages are too large. What current directives say are, similarly, irrelevant.
I ask follow up questions and get at what the person really wants, confirm it, and help them with it. I'm sorry if I am making troubleshooting harder -- I think that the answerer of the questions should be obligated to solve the problem or they shouldn't be helping.

Unfortunately I had no idea about the perverse incentives for question answering and the terrible moderator practices on SO, so I walked into a minefield giving an answer here that I thought was helpful based on my experience as a hands on technician working directly with people -- but it turned out to be a lightning rod for people's frustrations on these issues.
As a physicist, it's not a red flag... It's a red klaxon blaring out an alarm.

I have only met a few physicists who don't write papers in latex. They are all 65+ and generally work with younger scientists/grad students who prepare the paper in latex for final drafts and submissions.
All of this is due to a) ACA, b) the whole HMO craze in the 90s, and c) long before that, ERISA, oh and also: lack of pricing transparency, and lack of incentives to users to check pricing, and so on and on.

We don't have a free market in health care unless you have no coverage, then you can actually negotiate prices. What we have is a monster, and the monster we have today is way way worse than the monster we had in the early 90s.

Not that it helps to say these things. Most of you are either a) bigtech employees with nice healthcare plans and maybe don't care that much (until you're no longer bigtech), or b) fintech employees (same), or c) too young to remember what 80%/20% plans were like back in the day (or never had a non-$WORK plan) and therefore all too willing to demand and/or accept any purported solution that isn't. I hope it helps to say these things here.

Meanwhile we've had a lot of factors pushing up inflation in medical services, so when you add it all up it sucks, but it sucks for all sorts of artificial reasons.
Yeah, I just mentioned in another comment that there already exist exemptions such as server/networking hardware:

"Lead in solders for servers, storage and storage array systems, network infrastructure equipment for switching, signalling, transmission, and network management for telecommunications"

What you’re describing is accounts receivable. As you say, it’s a separate function relative to invoice generation and payment.

It’s not an overly complex problem to solve in the general sense but it is very easy to underestimate the complexity, and this often leads to half baked systems.

Indeed, it sounds like you have what's called fine tuned data (given an input, here's the output), there's loads of info both here on HN about fine tuning and on youtube's huggingface channels

Note if you have sufficient data, look into existing models on huggingface, you may find a smaller, faster and more open (licencing-wise) model that you can fine tune to get the results you want - Llama is hot, but not a catch-all for all tasks (as no model should be)

Happy inferring!

Yeah, I don't think the public claim to every person's evidence vindicates dragnet surveillance! I think these are complicated issues, we can make our own policy decisions and we can find a right to privacy even if one didn't exist at the time of the founders.

I'm just reacting to the notion that we've departed from the principles of the founders by giving law enforcement access to evidence. My impression, from the bit of reading I've done, is that wouldn't have shocked the conscience of the founders at all.
Beware that even though Matrix is supporting MLS, currently it's incompatible with the completely decentralized character of Matrix. MLS in its current shape relies on a centralized component – which is not a part of the Matrix protocol.
So... a lot of smug comments on both sides claiming what technical analysis is and isn't. Let's get something straight, there are only two ways of analysing markets: fundamentally or technically.

I've been actively trading nearly every day for the past 6 months and can tell you there are people who extract profits from the market every single day (I'm not one of them yet, but I'm at least modestly profitable the past few months). Being profitable every day can ONLY be done using technical analysis. You're not going to profit every single day doing intraday trades on fundamentals. People think 'technical analysis' is as simple as what this blog post mentions - using something as rudimentary as SMAs. Unfortunately, this is case for most people. Come back when:

- you know what auction market theory is (AMT)

- you know what one time framing is (OTF)

- you know what delta divergence is

- you know what poor market structure / single prints / excess all are

- you know what low / high volume reversals are

All these are NOT fancy indicators or contrived signals but are quite literally real structures and residuals of actual BUYERS and SELLERS in a market (i.e. exactly what a market is, NOT astrology!) that can help show where the markets MAY go (of course the future is never certain)

Further more, you have to synthesize the context of all of these things in real time as the session unfolds and block out any of the emotions or psychology of putting money on the table entails! To get to this top tier (being profitable nearly every day) is as hard and takes as much time as any other performance profession (athletes, sales, etc.)

Of course you're going to have an extremely bad time if you try and implement something like a SMA crossover!

Think of it this way: any automated technical strategy you can think up within even a few days of effort have been done over 1000 times by every financial firm on the planet - and you can guess they don't work - if they did there would be a lot more billionaires on the planet! Most of the automated strategies that are actually profitable are designed by engineers with the help of decades+ traders who have been consistently profitable. Even then, you'll be lucky if in a raw win/loss ratio is over 50% (but this gets into expected value of the trade, etc. too long to post about here, you can be profitable with just a 30% win rate, for example if you're reward to risk is 2:1)

Anyway, thats my 2 cents from someone who trades with real money on the line. It's probably pretty easy to say that TA is made up and use it as a scapegoat when you YOLOed a bunch of money on GME and lost it a few years back.
> HFTs generally consider shorter timescales than human TA would lean on

This just further emphasizes the point that retail investors relying on TA are having their lunch eaten. HFTs are picking the minute opportunities because that's all that exists. If there were longer-term strategies that were reliably profitable, do you think they simply ignore them?
This strategy doesn't make any sense to me. As the article points out, many (most?) recruiter software platforms aren't going to show a human your original Word or PDF file. They're first going to show a human the contents that were extracted from your resume, and converted into the same canonical format as all other candidates.

In that scenario, your Lorem Ipsum-esque paragraph of buzzwords will stand out like a sore thumb with the font taken out of the equation. Using invisible metadata for SEO is only effective when it truly stays invisible.
Hm, I can't say I really understand most of the paper, so I'm not sure if the paper actually implies this, but even then, I find this unconvincing.

Quantum mechanics allow for many things to happen at a macro level, such as magnetism. If you start from pure quantum mechanics, and try to predict something like that emerging, you'd have to be pretty lucky to find the correct initial conditions to lead to such a phenomenon. But that does not mean that it is impossible to predict it at all.

Another take on this might be that understanding phenomena at different levels requires different abstractions and different modes of understanding. In that sense, the knowledge at one level often does not help us to understand things at a higher level. But I think that says more about our limited intelligence than about the phenomena and emergence in themselves.

This kind of concerns me because you could use this to bias surveys in different directions. This obviously already happens, so maybe it just part of the status quo.
This is an old trick. Surprisingly, it seemingly still worked 5 years ago. Wouldn't be surprised if it still does.
That looks nice but it's a shame that it uses its own proprietary language (not PlatUML or MermaidJS) and the code isn't even available. So if you use it then you have to cross your fingers that the website continues to be available otherwise your diagrams will suddenly become unmaintainable.
But that also means they’d be cheaper.

Advertisers don’t buy ads unless they have measurable ROI. It doesn’t matter if it’s 1000 impressions for $1 for 1 conversion, or 10 video views for $1 for 1 conversion, or a million impressions for $1 for 1 conversion. It’s just money spent vs money gained.
Well, tech workers here don’t make up a significant voting block in state-wide races. Not to mention we mostly got the conservative tech bros from NYC and Cali anyway, so they’re not really bothered.

That said, Williamson County flipped blue last election which was surprising. A lot of the wealthier, slightly older suburban tech/business Austin crowd lives there.

That is super cool!

That said, I'm enough of a layman not to be able to connect this explanation to what I saw in the video.

Are you saying because it wasn't moving in "slow motion," we can rule out non-ferrous metals? Or are you saying the alternating movement/stillness of the magnet shows this?
True, but the word "currency" pops up 53 times in this report [1], mostly in regards to managing "foreign exchange risk", so they seem to be taking deliberate measures to stay on the inflation trajectory of the dollar.

Oh, sure. You could have just said that then. You instead originally said something about "no one licks the insides of the computers", which isn't the reason lead in electronics/PCBs/etc. is restricted, and what I was pointing out.

According to https://rethinkresearch.biz/articles/chinas-uhv-transmission..., they will be at 105 GW by 2025 (the article is dated 2022). 50% of the power on these lines will be from renewables by 2025 (right now at 43%).

The more I use this stuff, the more misguided this approach seems to be.

The current goal seems to be: eliminate anything that might be objectionable to anyone, ever. The approach is: expose underpaid drones to every instance of objectionable content conceivable. To do this to people in Africa is especially unconscionable, considering how much of this stuff hasn't been that far removed from reality for them and their neighbors in recent history.

Why are queries being policed at all? This makes no sense. It's creepy voyeurism leading to complaints about trauma from seeing something you wish you hadn't.

Just review the responses people complain about. If someone asks for obscene content and receives it, why is that even a problem worth reviewing? If someone asks for brownie recipes and gets fetish erotica, that's more of a problem needing review, and the reason why is undeniably clear. There is a point to exposing unwitting moderators to it, and their suffering through it at least serves a purpose.

If the goal was total moral purity, don't train on "bad" inputs indiscriminately. Train on NPR.org and ignore the rest of the internet. Everything about this seems so backward.
Wow, if true this would be absolutely huge!
