This is what I’m grasping at.

Are the challenges of writing a KDB system for back testing derivatives data which needs to work in tandem with a rust pricing library substantially different from a KDB engineered for back testing spot data.

One has complex and specific math and one doesn’t.
> It also sort of lines up with C and C++ syntax of putting the result on the left.

The article also discussed this argument, and I find it weird, because higher level languages also put the operation on the right side.

Maybe I just prefer having the operation and the target close together?
Having `abs(x) = y` put the absolute value of y into x, would be extremly weird to me in C++.

> I might be biased as an Intel-syntax-loving assembly-writing heathen.

I guess the world is on your side, and I just avoid assembly where possible :D (although, not really because of the syntax part, I can live with either syntax decision in the end after getting used to it)
Whenever my daughter puts on recent pop music, I can tell instantly. Every pop song singer seems to have their voices artificially boosted into one or two higher harmonics. It's hard to describe in words but instead of the singer singing a single note, it's as if she (and it's very evident with female singers) has some very, very high pitched harmony automatically added, which lasts the whole song.

It's not like a single frequency buzz or carrier wave. It changes along with the pitch of the lyrics and clearly some kind of filtering they're doing to the voices. Either that or I'm paranoid and hearing things.

Telegram and discord webhooks are 100% signs of an unsophisticated attacker and they are a very common sight in malware samples. Github is full of skiddie "info stealer" projects that use telegram api / discord webhook to deliver the stolen data. They make no sense to use since anybody can spam that webhook endpoint. Not 100% sure about discord, but at least in the case of telegram anybody can even read and download all the data that has been sent to it.
Also you mention rust - https://docs.rs/kdb/latest/kdb/

The old style of kdb integration you could compile a .so and load it in to extend the language. Now people use PyKx to load in python modules. I have a guy doing this on my team to load a Python wrapped Rust lib.

It looks like you have a few options with Rust as per the link above.

Note this allows you to do the "move the code to the data" trick I mentioned.

They're half of voters. They haven't won the popular vote in how many years? 40? They're an obnoxiously loud minority.

Probably not all, but nearly all. The maga tariffs and then subsequent bailouts of farmers harmed comes to mind. reagan's austerity is another easy example.

Funny you should say it when I just finished developing four rolls of medium format film...

Modern sensors are indeed challenging the resolution of film, but only because we stopped developing scanning technology as well as chemical film formulations. A 60mp full frame sensor is more or less equivalent to a standard colour 35mm film frame, but all those photos taken on sensors with lower resolution are stuck at 24mp, 20mp, 12mp, 10mp, and less. But even a 60mp sensor can't match the resolution of https://www.adox.de/Photo/films/cms20ii-en/ so we have a long way to go in the digital realm. The largest digital sensor you can buy or (more realistically) rent is a 150mp from Phase One and that's only 6x4.5cm, the smallest medium format frame. Digital can't currently match anything above 6x4.5 and that's what will keep film going for a while.

Another issue with digital is the lack of latitude. It was pitched against colour positive slide film when film was still popular, because that was the pinnacle of colour reproduction (and still is) but it suffers from the same issues as colour positive film--you really have to nail your exposure. However, when you see a well-lit, sharp, properly developed 8x10 colour slide film, you really don't care for digital the amount of detail beats the crap out of the highest rest sensor. I shoot Fuji GFX100 and while it is an excellent camera, it cannot easily do what I can do with my 4x5 camera in terms of movements unless I buy a Cambo Actus.

I really wish camera manufacturers kept making film cameras, because both technologies, digital and film have their uses and there is no need to abandon one for the other, they can happily exist together. We don't argue that watercolour should be ditched for oils or vice versa, why not keep making both digital and film cameras?

I'd recommend replacing an unset title with an abbreviation of the start of the content.

Not sure what that means. Why are you marking those as "quotes".

The last actions brought so many returns. And it's unknown what the exact effect would be in adding more modalities, training data, optimisations and even just plain parameters.

Text as training data can only get you so far. Giving real time sensory data from many fields could allow LLM like system to control robots and get even more data from real life. E.g. robot hand movements, object tracking data, all of that to be fed into LLMs, and see how it would work.

Half of this story seems to be about the ScarJo "Her" voice story, which was more or less debunked by the Washington Post --- OpenAI hired several voice actors, months before reaching out to ScarJo, and the voice suspected to be a clone or performance of ScarJo's own voice was the natural speaking voice of one of those actors, who was not instructed to mimic ScarJo or given any reference to "Her". †

The rest of it is about "safety" whistleblowers. That's something that seems like it could be a real problem for OpenAI, if you believe that transformer models are something that raise genuine safety issues, or if you take seriously OpenAI's founding commitments to be something more like a monastic society than a company.

For some time now, I've mentally bucketed OpenAI in with all the other tech companies, and I find that perspective pretty refreshing; there's just not much to think about here, apart from the technology, because, to my eyes, it's not reasonable to expect a lot more of OpenAI than I would from Apple or Google. Is OpenAI becoming less and less like a religion and more like a hyper-rational technology business? To me: that's a good thing. It is fine that we disagree.

† I anticipate many responses about the subtle angles of this silly voice actor story that I am not capturing, like Altman's professed love for the movie "Her", and to all that I'll preemptively respond: you do you, we (again) can simply disagree, I would have delighted in a news cycle where a giant tech company actually gets shredded by Rebecca from Ghost World, but I found the WaPo story dispositive.

This grasps at why I’m finding KDB so hard to use. I’ve written a pricing and risk library in Rust. Historical data really needs to be taken processed in Rust rather than KDB.
I think there are two legitimate reasons to use Intel syntax:

1. It matches the manual. AMD and Intel’s manuals agree about operand order, and IMO there is no justification whatsoever for an assembly syntax to fail to match the documentation. This is especially true for 3-address instructions and for two-input instructions like CMP.

All these arguments about mathematical notation or linguistics are nonsense in my book. The correct order for the operands of ADD is what the corresponding manual says.

2. Intel address syntax is so much better than AT&T’s that it’s not even funny.

The actual argument there is that most instructions with explicit, specified output registers have exactly one output register (which is mutated) where as most have multiple, non-mutated input registers. Of the instructions with multiple mutated output registers, most encode 1 or 0 (I am just going by memory here) output registers with the remaining being implicit.

The point is people are already unconsciously putting themselves in buckets- being conscious of it is the first step towards actually moving past it. By being conscious of exactly how you are doing this, you can also begin to explore and accept the parts of yourself that don't fit into those buckets (what Carl Jung calls the shadow).

The "buckets" themselves (archetypes) are simply explaining different aspects of human experience and personalities, but absolutely nobody fits into them neatly, and they are limitless- you could probably come up with hundreds of them if you wanted to. Which you think are important and worth talking about is really a matter of opinion or personal values and goals.

These ideas are widely misunderstood and misused in both popular culture and the social sciences, but that isn't the fault of the concepts themselves. For example, the categories in the popular Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) are from Carl Jung's archetypes, but people use them exactly like you said- to essentially justify their own behaviors, when the point is to explore the parts of yourself that are the opposite of that. This idea often horrifies people that are fans of MBTI and use it like you are implying.

I'm sure you would agree that people already have different personalities, and see themselves a certain way, and often dislike traits in themselves and others that are somewhat opposite traits to those. For example a person might see themselves as an analytical logical person, and look down on people who seem to be guided mostly by emotions. It can be hugely valuable for a person like this to start to understand and accept the emotional part of themselves and others, but that likely won't change the fact that they are still a person that prioritizes "thinking" over "feeling."

People often mistakenly call this Carl Jung stuff "pseudoscience" because they are misunderstanding it as trying to be science. It is not- it is a tool or technology for personal growth, and is not attempting to be a literal explanation for how the human brain works or anything like that. It would be more accurate to relate it to religious or spiritual practices like meditation.

The fact is that introverted people are quite rare compared to extroverted people, and extroverted people do tend to see it as a bad thing and want to do things like "help teach introverts to be less extroverted" but may be horrified by the idea of the opposite- learning about and accepting their own introverted aspects.
> I can’t speak for you, but that isn’t at all accurate as far as I know.

> I’m not intimately familiar with actual existing accommodations for ADHD and other conditions under the FMLA and other disability discrimination laws and regulations in the US or other countries.

Why are you saying it's inaccurate if you don't understand the laws and regulations?

The FMLA that you cited and linked is for emergency medical leave, not for ADHD accommodations.

You're also making a mistake that I see a lot: Getting an ADHD diagnosis is not the same as having a disability. It is possible to qualify as having a disability due to an ADHD diagnosis, but it's a substantially more difficult standard to achieve and prove. The average ADHD patient will not and cannot qualify as being disabled due to ADHD.

This is exactly what I was talking about: There has been an explosion of over-confident opinions about how ADHD and other mental health conditions intersect the workplace that have no basis in reality. The amount of incorrect ADHD information circulating on places like Reddit and TikTok is leading people in the wrong direction in large numbers.
> you do not want a solution (in any language/tech) that involves pulling an entire day of market data off disk, across the wire and over to your process for analysis.

Honest question - why? An entire day of market data for busy option series will be in low hundreds of gigabytes with proper wire format, maybe with some compression it'd be tens of gigabytes. Even with 10 Gbit/s networking (which is kinda slow - I believe you can get at least 40 Gbit/s for Amazon EC2<->EBS) the whole day of data will be transferred in a few minutes, which means your bottleneck will be compute, not IO/network. And compute can be parallelized pretty easily.
At this point we could diagnose basically everyone on the planet with some flavour of neurodivergence. I’m sure there’s one that makes people good at sales, one that makes people ruthless CEOs, one that makes people programmers, etc.

But I just don’t see the point of diagnosing people with things unless it causes some kind of actual disability and dysfunction.

> NJ to Brooklyn route

Your route is decent - as a route. But it costs almost $30 in tolls!

For example Holland Tunnel to Manhattan bridge and Brooklyn Bridge without paying congestion pricing is a route that should exist. I think those are like half the price of your route (not 100% sure of the price).

> there are no highways through central Manhattan's city grid, and there never will be

There should be a direct connection, with no exits to city roads, between the Lincoln Tunnel and FDR Dr. Same with the Holland tunnel - that should be directly connected to the two coastal freeways, without going in city streets.

From looking at a map those are the biggest gaps in regards to congestion pricing.

If you want wondering how to do it, add an elevated express roadway above Canal street. Because it has no connection to city roads in Manhattan - it would go directly in the air to the Manhattan bridge, it would not be unfeasibly complex to build.

See, they added the "annoyance" first, and didn't also connect it with any improvements, and I think that was their biggest mistake.

I've noticed this very frequently with transit advocates - they only want to harm car driving, but give zero thought to making travel better for people. They forget the goal: Make travel better. The goal is not getting rid of cars.
