How to Overfit to Quant Interviews
Hey HN!

Last summer I dedicated about ~200 hours to training for quant interviews, which finally got me the internship offer I wanted! At the beginning of this summer, I wrote a guide explaining the resources that I had used to prepare for my interviews. The guide was initially directed at the younger students from my university that are interested in quant, but I thought someone here might find it useful :)

Let me know if you have any feedback or if you find any typos or errors! I am specially aware that some of the information in the guide might contain my own personal biases about the industry, which might not be very accurate. I'm hoping to continuously improve the guide with more information so I will be very happy to hear about any mistakes, missing info or other feedback you may want to see it improved upon.
Others have already pointed out that the TSA is a joke, and US nuclear regulation is so dysfunctional that we've lost all ability to create new reactors, and it's setting back our ability to address global warming by decades.
This should provide a good experiment on the impact of Social media on mental health I imagine.
Ugh, please don't take this stance.

Gas stations don't charge different amounts for gas depending on the type of car, and EV charging stations shouldn't be permitted to do so either.

I don't have an EV, but I agree that Tesla has a much much better reputation for reliable, working charging stations in the US. If people will actually pay more for that experience, then sure, Tesla can charge more than a competing charging company. But they should be required to charge the same amount regardless of vehicle.

The only exception to that, I think, is that they should be able to charge differently based on charging speed, which is related to the type of vehicl. All gas cars will fill up at more or less the same rate, but with EVs it depends on the battery technology and the car's electrical system. Taking up space at a charging station for a longer amount of time to consume the same amount of energy is a cost to the operator (and an annoyance for anyone waiting in line), and it seems reasonable to charge for that. So I think it would be fair to charge $X/kWh + $Y/min.
Google’s patent strategy is to patent everything it sees and hears about. This is a good case of it: https://patentpandas.org/stories/company-patented-my-idea . As long as patent attorneys are on quotas at Google, they will be filing bullshit patents they didn’t invent all the same as the trolls.

Anything sincere about US patents must always be about how they should cost basically nothing to file correctly by inventors themselves. Otherwise it’s just rich people suing other rich people.

Especially software patents. If you are pro startup you are anti software patent. The status quo is a deadweight transfer from investors to patent attorneys.

The more you think and read about this, the more it will piss you off.

What's the toxicity of microglass particulates?
> Well, we've been exposed to microplastics for decades, but what does the evidence say? Afaict, not much.

The revelation that you are likely to have microplastics suffused throughout your body seems far more meaningful than "not much".

The effects of this are unknown, but it seems reasonable to be concerned about potential harm until it's effects are studied in vivo and it's statistically not more harmful than the utility we get out of it. That alone seems like decades of research. You don't need to throw up your hands and act like you can't hypothesize even if the answers are out of your reach.
> The ones who are most hurt by tariffs, most affected by higher prices, are the working class.

Perhaps in the short to medium term, the people who had their livelihoods decimated and partially compensated for the decline in their standard of living by buying cheap imported products, will be most affected.

But tariffs should be a component of a longer term plan of tradeoffs to revitalize the protected industries.

> If you are concerned about the people who got hurt by globalization, maybe the government should collect money from people like us and spend it on people like them.

That idea is past its sell-by date. It's the neoliberal Democrat's response to the economic damage done by globalization: put the losers on welfare indefinitely. IMHO, that money should be

Based on...?
share price matters to a shareholder in the short term, but doesn't come close to telling the whole story. IBM is not performing well.

In 1990, IBM's market cap was $27B and Microsoft's was $5B.

In 1999, IBM's was just under $100B and Microsoft's was just under $400B.

For the last decade+, IBM has hovered (rather wildly) around $160B, while Microsoft has grown from $250B (post dot com crash) to $2,500B.

so yes, IBM really has been a declining giant relative to their market share in the strong technology sector

IBM selling off more and more businesses might be "the right move" for shareholders and props up the share prices, but it shrinks the overall business and in terms of value creation (where wealth comes from) indicates a shortage at IBM
4. Indiscriminate attacks are prohibited. Indiscriminate attacks are:

(a) those which are not directed at a specific military objective;

(b) those which employ a method or means of combat which cannot be directed at a specific military objective; or

(c) those which employ a method or means of combat the effects of which cannot be limited as required by this Protocol;

So far as I can tell, this strike clears all those definitions. I think you may be reading 51(4) to be a prohibition on civilian casualties as collateral to military strikes, but that obviously can't be its meaning --- that would ban virtually all air strikes, for instance, and I'm pretty sure that isn't something the victors of WW2 were going for.

Am I misunderstanding the argument you're making? It's not unlikely that I could have!

I'm not sure how that would imply anything about the past. We as a society have spent decades defanging the public school system through changing school to be test score driven, tying a schools funding to the local property value, making them less effective and less safe, choking them out financially etc... it should be no surprise that children are not equipped to navigate modern life. I've been though these systems, they are deeply flawed.
Hey everyone, I have been working on this for the past month or so and would love some feedback on the idea. I ran into a situation where I needed to do some data preparation and realized all the available options are geared towards enterprise users and an insane price point.

I’ve been driving EVs for six years now and I do not have the ability to charge at home or work. It’s been a non-issue. I charge late at night and it’s about $0.18/kWh which is still way less than gas.

Obviously it’s more convenient if you can charge at home or work, but I disagree that such a thing is mandatory to own an EV.

I've seen it used for a company with way, way in excess of a million users. We used it for a system with 100M+ users for our login systems and in general all of our main account systems relied on it. Most of the brokers were always running at 15k to 25k messages per second.

I loved it and the only issues we had were due to our fuckups.

The escalation is the point. Continuing war keeps Netanyahu and his right-wing cabinet in power. It may also draw the US into the conflict, which would, among other side effects, hurt the Dems chances of winning the presidency in November. (Netanyahu and friends prefer Trump over Harris.)

They do not. China sometimes — though not always — endorses and enforces Security Council sanctions against North Korea, and acts as a moderating force in its contacts with North Korean leadership. Substantial differences of opinion between the U.S. and the U.K., not to mention actual policy antagonism, is very rare.
I think they should have some control over their manufacturing. It’s not so much that the yogurt company has a counter intelligence division, it’s that the yogurt company didn’t detect someone putting poison into a few hundred truckloads.

I expect brands to have quality control procedures in place.
Tesla version 3 superchargers already use CCS for communication between car and charger for 2019 and later vehicles.

Version 2 superchargers do not speak CCS and won't ever be opened to non-Tesla vehicles and there are certain routes where that's quite annoying. My most common road trip has 5 supercharger locations along the way with 3 of them being V2, including the most isolated charger. Even once the NACS changeover happens taking a non-tesla on that journey will be a real pain.

Tesla has not put any resources into converting V2 sites into V3s. Some of the locations have been expanded with the new additions being V3, but I haven't seen much in the way of switchover.
What role do TLS errors play in de-anonymizing onion traffic?
Just reduce the time horizon you keep the logs until you can afford it. Also, as he mentioned, once a system is getting bugs infrequently, you can lower the log level. My standard is to have a log msg for each branch in the code. In C, I would use macros to also have a count of all the fmt strings the log package encountered (so I still got a sort of profile of the logic flows encountered, but not have the sprintf expense), but I haven't figured out an efficient way to do that in Go yet (i.e. not using introspection).
But you can already see it with Delve. Mistral uses "delve" more than baseline, because it was trained on GPT.

So it's classic positive feedback. LLM uses delve more, delve appears in training data more, LLM uses delve more...

Who knows what other semantic quirks are being amplified like this. It could be something much more subtle, like cadence or sentence structure. I already notice that GPT has a "tone" and Claude has a "tone" and they're all sort of "GPT-like." I've read comments online that stop and make me question whether they're coming from a bot, just because their word choice and structure echoes GPT. It will sink into human writing too, since everyone is learning in high school and college that the way you write is by asking GPT for a first draft and then tweaking it (or not).

Unfortunately, I think human and machine generated text are entirely miscible. There is no "baseline" outside the machines, other than from pre-2022 text. Like pre-atomic steel.
Fascinating, thanks! One of the things I love about D&D is that there's so much historical density to it.

Please... DO NOT BUY A LECTRON ADAPTER mentioned in this article. This company is shady and has absolutely horrendous customer service, along with products that do not work and are not authorized at Tesla Super Chargers.

How do I know? I bought one. The first issue I had was they claimed the unit was available to ship when I purchased, but did not ship even though they sent me a tracking number that simply stated "package hasn't been dropped off at UPS" when looked up. When I inquired they said it would be shipping "this week" for 3 weeks. I had also paid for expedited shipping and the company refused to refund this. After collecting screenshots I told them I would be reversing the charge through my CC company. That same day the product was shipped.

Then I experienced the design issues with the product first hand that everyone has now beaten to death on the Internet. Next I spent another two weeks trying to get the company to refund my money and take back their product. I ended up reversing the charge and only after I did that did they issue me an RMA to send the unit back, because now they wanted it back since my CC company reviewed all of my screenshots of their claims and reversed the charge.

Do not waste your time with Lectron!

How do you know that if the only thing you see on the receiving side is an IP address, which is marked as Iranian?
For any tasks that depend on it. If I need you to do something and I can’t start until you’re done, it’s useful to know if you think you’ll be done tomorrow or next week. That lets me plan my upcoming days.

If you jailbreak your phone then you are able to remove certificate pinning. If you just want to do this for research purposes then you can buy an old iPhone6s, iPhone8 or iPhoneX and use checkra1n which uses a bug early in the bootchain in order to jailbreak the phone. I think palera1n is based on checkra1n and might have better support for newer iOS versions: https://palera.in/
Exactly - this is a failed alignment but they released anyway
No compatibility break as far as I know. I believe V3 superchargers speak CCS to 2019 and newer cars and fallback to the older Tesla-proprietary communication if necessary.
Considering how Intel doesn't tend to hold grudge-matches with their customers, I seriously doubt there was any risk in the first place. If TSMC yields were too low to mass-produce Apple Silicon, they could easily ship out another copy-paste Macbook iteration with Magic Keyboard and nobody would care what chip it had inside.

With the benefit of hindsight, it feels more like Intel and Apple were in a race to see who would outsource the Mac chip first. Since Apple already had the supply chain set up for the iPhone, cutting Intel out of the equation was mostly just a matter of designing an SOC. They took the opportunity, and now we're seeing Intel glumly admit that they too can be energy-efficient if they swallow their pride and pay TSMC.

Looking at this picture (assuming it's of one of the actual radios):

https://static.independent.co.uk/2024/09/18/17/walkie-talkie...

and a picture of the main board on page 5 of the Icom service manual:

https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/icom-v82-service-manual...

I'd guess the explosives were inside the "VCO can": the metal shielding around the VCO circuit. The picture of the radio shows the radio's metal casing bent away from the PCB, suggesting the blast came from that direction rather than the battery. The VCO can would have air-space inside it and is unlikely to be opened, even by a service tech. There will be an SPI serial bus running from the CPU into the VCO can, to allow programming of the VCO, which could be used as a conduit for a trigger command.
On Amazon, you used to be able to search the reviews and Q&A section via a search box. This was immensely useful. Now, that search box first routes your search to an LLM, which makes you wait 10-15 seconds while it searches for you. Then it presents its unhelpful summary, saying "some reviews said such and such", and I can finally click the button to show me the actual reviews and questions with the term I searched.

This is going to be the thing that makes me quit Amazon. If I'm missing something and there's still a way to to a direct search, please tell me.
There is a balance there. You can have 1000 trivial commits making it hard to see the fact you just have 10 features, and ten mind-breaking commits making it hard to see what each feature entails. (Then there's the 50 commits "try this" where you are fighting CI or CD and can't test without going thru a git commit/push.)
Yes, a command converter as you described (that supports converting all the pip flags and command parameters) would be very useful. At the end of the day, you need a (readable) single source of truth somewhere (i.e. not the lockfile, the lockfile is fine for deployment and operations but not for developers). As a developer, I don't want the `uv pip` commands to mess up my environment, but at the same time, 90% of the Python world assumes dependency management is done with pip, and when I am installing dependencies, I don't really have time to chase down the exact flags that I should be using to add it to the Pipfile and to ensure uv compatibility.
The problem was not that it was not evolving. The problem was that they decided they had trapped all the users of other networks they could trap.

Who said I have a solution? The violence will continue, I just want my country (America) to stop involving itself by providing material/financial/etc support to Israel. I think this is likely to happen once baby boomers are fully aged out of the political process (because the synthesis of christianity and zionism are far less popular with younger generations.) I do not propose a resolution to the conflict but do anticipate America distancing itself from the conflict.
I'm not really sure, probably far away. Most of the genomic analysis showed very weak correlations. I was more on software side of things.
Sometimes.

Sometimes it is one or more programs writing to a queue or topic, and other programs reading from that topic.
