High rates don’t impact people without mortgages. There are lots of people who bought in ages ago and move their equity between homes.
At least according to the WSJ and others, there seems to be a decent chunk of investor-owned real estate. Someone probably has a study comparing real estate in countries that restrict ownership by investors to see how much this distorts prices.
well, running the financial system is overpaid work but it's the high-order bit in the current form of capitalism.

it's the operating system, some people might think it's a tax on everything, some people might think it provides the foundation to produce everything of value.

similarly, Google is the high-order-bit in the information or content economy, the creators get underpaid, the people who do ad optimization get overpaid.

no financial markets -> no IPOs -> no VC -> no Google and Silicon Valley as we know it.

the closer you are to the money and the transactions, and the high-order bit, the better the opportunities to redirect and organize to your advantage, and the more you get paid.
It seems to use many signals, at least according to its own explanation. For example it looks at road signs and license plates to identify countries.
I encountered similar prices at a Miami Beach club. Initially the security pressed me because I don't drink alcohol, but apparently buying drinks was required (in addition to the cover). In order to satisfy them, I said I would buy a dance, but wasn't given a price until already up in the "VIP" area

The price was ridiculous, I don't recall exactly, and I declined, saying I would just leave, and the dancer said in a Russian accent, if I did, she would tell security that I robbed her, since we already entered VIP. I think I paid her like $60 in front of the security guard and walked out. Definitely got mob/extortion vibes from the whole experience.

In this example, at least the $50 per 3 minutes or whatever it was, wasn't for anything 'extra' as the VIP area was wide open with no walls, all the victims able to see exactly how scammed everyone was getting.
IIRC there's a theory that blue paint is incredibly expensive in the past.

I disagree, as a native speaker of a language where "bilion" means 10^12, it's clear to me that "billion" means 10^9 when used in English text. So I disagree that is ambiguous. But maybe that's wiem that way to make sure foreigners with poor understanding of English don't read it incorrectly, because I guess it gets confusing (even journalists sometimes make a mistake of translating that wrong).
Because in the US and Ireland financing for housing collapsed on 2008 and never recovered (so there are no more small and medium sized residential developers in most of the US).

In Israel's case there's literally no space (it's the same size and population as the Bay Area)

Hello Tim,

This sounds fun to build. I have dropped you an email with my profile.
Cheers!
I'm taking this opportunity to once again ask for the widespread adoption of the Name Constraints extension in x509, and subsequent roll-out of constrained intermediate CA certs signed by a publicly trusted root.

Would be so convenient to have an intermediate CA cert constrained to *.my-name.com to avoid situations like this. Being forced to either use a private PKI infrastructure or using wildcards to not leak host names is so annoying.
This is neither of those, therefore it is on topic. QED.
They're not that good at arb. Real arb doesn't even really exist anymore. Even when it does, it's not JS that closes it. They market make, which is different.

There is this tool from Facebook.

Lack of nuance, and taking things too personal, was why I also left fedi back in 2022. Had been running an instance since 2017.

But in the past 2 years I've realized that you should just ignore the haters. They're on youtube too and I don't get involved with them there, so why do I focus on them elsewhere?

No need.

So I'm actually going to return with a personal instance, simply because I enjoy having somewhere to post random pics and stuff when I'm not by a computer, using my phone. I don't care if anyone follows.
I disagree with your first sentence. People should be able to post about watching paint dry, or whatever else they want to mention. Strangers disagreeing with your choice of wall paint shouldn't turn into real-world anxiety/stress.

It's effectively impossible to post anything or do anything online (or even IRL) where someone won't disagree with you; there will always be someone (that's me toward you in this case), and that's fine.

What's not fine is the escalation from "I disagree, here's why" to "I disagree, and I'm going to make you miserable". Add to that death threats and you've got a cocktail for being unhappy. Add to that people doxxing you and harassing your real life for their perceived justices, and it makes you very unhappy.

Self-induced outrage seems to be a popular thing now. Where no real problem exists, create one, and manufacture outrage. Find next topic, repeat.

You don't make 10B returns on HFT alone.

The characteristics of short prediction horizon strategies like in HFT give you an amazing sharpe, but you're predicting small returns.

To scale returns you need to invest more, which means higher market impact, which means longer prediction horizon, on larger price moves.

Same as how they gained the market share in the first place - deals with sellers, businesses, governments. In some places, it was more expensive to not bundle Windows with a new laptop than to bundle it. Governments were given deals, support and bribes to build their infra on Microsoft products, including teaching Windows, Office in schools. And in the meantime, competition was stifled by any means necessary.

That phrase doesn't appear in the linked article, but to answer your question:

"Recommender system", e.g. <https://www.trulia.com/blog/tech/recommender-engine/>, <https://github.com/microsoft/RecAI>, etc.

Even if there were no consensus for an alternative, that wouldn't make "recommendation algorithm" acceptable, because it fails to meet the criteria to be an algorithm. The word means something.

Who knew? But that article indicates America has used the short scale (base ten) forever and the UK has used it since 1974, so let's just assume that FT (an English language paper) is not worried about confusion regarding the meaning of 'billion' and there's a different norm at work here.
SWE will probably make between 250-500k. Quants who can come up with profitable trading strategies can make a lot more. Managers of trading teams can make over 1MM and sometime a lot over 1MM depending on how profitable their teams perform.

SWE who have deep subject matter experience are super valuable to these firms. Folks who understand how to write low latency code, FPGA work and other stuff like that. But the real money is in figuring how "how and what" to trade. Once that's done, the SWEs can bang out the code.

@redbell If you do go into a profession having to do with "charity" - what is more often referred to as non-profit (or not-for-profit) - please go in with open eyes. I don't want to dissuade you from looking into such careers; simply research things as one might be expected to do whenever looking at a new job/career. I spent 1 year at a well-known non-profit (similar tech leader job to what i've had in corporate world), and it was quite annoying from the perspective that it was the same (or worse!) bureacracy as compared to the corporate world, but with less pay. On the other hand, there were 2 medium-sized projects that i participated (and some portions led) in which have been the absolute best, most fulfilling thing i have ever done professionally in my almost 30 year career. While most of the co-workers were nice and had genuine desire to help their fellow humans, everything else about non-profit work (except for those 2 amazing projects!) was the same crap as corporate work (but again, less pay)! Again, i'm not saying you should not pursue a career in non-profit; simply do your due diligence in research. Goodness knows, we need non-profits to be more effective! Cheers!
I downvoted you. Your whole post is a thinly veiled marketing post that is only tangentially related to the topic at hand, as others have noted. Beyond that, your tone is annoying and your additional posts only serve to justify my initial impression.

You can set up your own certificate transparency listener, and get notified of every certificate created, in realtime, assuming you can handle the load. In my company we do this to scan new domains for potential phishing domains, to take them down before they become active.

Until a few decades ago, the term 'billion' actually meant one million million (1e12) in the UK, rather than the now commonly-accepted meaning of one thousand million (1e9). As a British paper, the FT may simply be trying to avoid the ambiguity.

It wouldn't be different at all. Mostly we did use units of twelve for everything. Why do you think there are twelve inches in a foot and twelve pence in a shilling?

Asking what the historical difference would be if we wrote our numbers in base 12 instead of, variously, 10, 12, or 20 (all historically common, and 60 is prominent too), is like asking what the historical difference would be if we wrote our words in Greek letters instead of Roman letters.

Note that it was common for people to count dozens on their hands; each hand has four non-thumb fingers with three knuckles each.

The Algorithm(TM) tends to make it worse, in that it greatly increases the risk that weird cranks will see your posts, but "the internet is full of arseholes, some of whom will probably reply-guy you" is a problem as old as Usenet.

Personally, I've generally had far more positive interaction on Mastodon than I used to on Twitter, but I've got about 300 followers. I think the author of the article had many thousands, and at that level you're going to be exposed to weird cranks at a much greater rate; the advantage of not having The Algorithm(TM) is likely diminished.
Fair enough!

At least I appreciate the explanation !
I think OCaml is more of symptom of the people who they hire. Most companies don't want to hire OCaml and Haskellers. They fear they would be too expensive, and requires clear thinking so you can't hire bottom of the bucket devs.

If you want to hire the best and willing to pay that is no longer a concern
Back in the 90s/00s the CSFB quant team went with F#. Immutable and functional is reasonable choice. Just not popular.

> Instead of whining we should start jamming Glonass in retaliation

What a ridiculous comment!

All GNSS use similar frequencies for civilian signals. 1575 MHz for Galileo, 1600 MHz for Glonass etc. Since jammers primarily work by sweeping a strong signal across the relevant band (more effective than spot frequency jamming), practically all crude attempts to jam one constellation can just as well jam the lot. (You need to be rather more precise just to jam one).

e.g. A cheap COTS "GPS" jammer will typically work on all four GNSS constelations.

>and it assumes there's a Self, which is a metaphysical concept, not susceptible to scientific invetigation.

I don't think this is correct.

Not only because metaphysical concepts can still be suscpeptible to scientific investigation (as can e.g. time, reality, and so on. For example for reality "do we live in a simulation" could be something some scientists do try to determine), and because some metaphysical concepts just turned into practical concepts this way.

But also because self-awareness and the concept of self can be defined in quite practical terms too (e.g. a higher level loop on top of regular thinking referencing the lower level, or similar ideas like in Hofstadter).

A Full Stack generalist who launched 20+ products as "indie-hacker", the largest had 1.3M daily users.

I love the work pace of the startup:

Learn in a month how to make your own AI model - ok.

Figure out a new stack - ok.

Find an expert and consult where knowledge is lacking - ok.

Call users to understand the problem - ok.

Cut corners to release a product in a day/week - ok.

Plans have changed, redo 70% of the product - ok.
Do you consider only US-based candidates?
Arguments will be formulated by AI with another AI attempting to poke holes. You get a government appointed AI if you cannot afford one. This will kick off an arms race between plaintiffs and defendants. Legal companies then build moats around their bespoke AIs and it all boils down to a judge/jury voting based on a generated slideshow presentation (hopefully avoiding a miscarriage of justice /s).
That's a new use of the word "conscious" for me. How do you personally define consciousness?
