you don't really care... you just adjust the odds you are offering to balance the books with each bet and until you get good or get a nut you put limits on the bet sizes so it's easier to bin pack the bets. This was super common with sports bookies pre just holding the vegas line.

Get a huge bet on paul that you don't have offset? offer better odds on tyson till it balances. as a bookie your goal at the end of the day is to have the most total amount of bets on the book (say 1M in total wagers) where the money placed at the odds completely evens out so that at the end of the day you take 10% of 1 million for providing the market (the vig) and pay one set of betters with the other's money. In fact as the house you're just building creating your own arbitrage by inventing currency exchange rates.
Not possible - the oldest ice we've found on the planet is much less than 10 million years old. Even if some area remained frozen long enough to contain an intact dinosaur, it would be buried deeply enough and under enough pressure to just be a bit more arctic oil by now.

It shouldn't make a difference. The film is illuminated by a blue LED and constantly glows uniformly yellow, which is the same mechanism as the white LEDs in a traditional display (blue emitter illuminates yellow phosphor coating). The LCD filters this to make specific pixels and would be more responsible. I worked for a now defunct QD company.
The better acceleration and faster service almost have to eventually improve ridership, and electrification should improve operation cost, but YoY ridership numbers post-covid are still weird, and I'd like to see finer-grain numbers before claiming this after just a month or two.

Agree. lightweight embedded libs like go-taskflow are used in a much different way compared to distributed workflow systems. Coders should be aware of the pros and cons of those repos or systems.
they were introducing 5 minute delays on some of the clients. I noticed my ipad was always live and the smart tv had a 5 minute delay but you could fast forward to live.
LCD BLUs have a uniformly glowing background which is filtered by the LCD to make pixels. If there is delay in pixels updating, it would be the LCD causing it.

Yep. Rendering dynamic graphs is complicated, cuz dependencies change all the time.
From my limited understanding, the NFL heavily depends on the Netflix Open Connect platform to stream media to edge locations, which is different from live streaming. Probably, they over-pushed the HD contents.
The bay area already had multiple electric trains for quite some time, I think from the 1800s and at scale in the 1920s. I think the train that ran on the lower deck of the bay bridge (before it was switched to car traffic) was also electric as were many other railroads around california. But it was removed after WWII since there was such a rapid switch to personally owned cars. bart is electric, and the muni streetcars (both have been that way for a while).
I wonder how many "environmental studies" they had to do to conclude that electric trains are better then diesel

Yeah, I think it's a pretty nonsense arguement if you've tried running it on constrained hardware. I played Alyx on a 1050ti and it was pretty much flawless for 72hz gameplay. Anything weaker than that outright isn't going to run anything in VR very well.

Also worth noting - you don't need Windows to play Alyx either. SteamVR supports Linux perfectly well, and other games that don't ship native Linux-native builds can still run through Proton. If you own VR in any capacity whatsoever, you should be capable of playing Half Life Alyx; that was Valve's selling point for anyone that had Steam and a headset.

I don’t think the Forbes article is accurate when it suggests that FDA is urging consumers to “toss your butter in the trash” for this recall.

According to FDA: “Recalls are actions taken by a firm to remove a product from the market. Recalls may be conducted on a firm's own initiative, by FDA request, or by FDA order under statutory authority.” [1]

This particular recall [2] was “Voluntary: Firm initiated” and classified as “Class II” meaning low probability of serious adverse health consequences. The mislabeled product will be removed from the shelves, but I don’t think FDA is recommending throwing out the butter as the Forbes article implies.

Is there such thing as an extensible or upgradeable cochlear implant? My understanding as a layman in audiology is that the silia or tiny hairs are essentially emulated or designed manually at specific frequence-reverberations and this results in some quantifiable Resolution of Hearing. My question is, is there a way or maybe a hardware technique where we could, as equipment improves and nano-scale is reached, add more "hairs" to the board? If not, can someone please make?
My performance on computer tasks changes when people watch me. I suddenly forget how to type.
I've been doing a lot of OCR recently, mostly digitising text from family photos. Normal OCR models are terrible at it, LLMs do far better. Gemini Flash came out on top from the models I tested and it wasn't even close. It still had enough failures and hallucinations to make it faster to write it in by hand. Annoying considering how close it feels to working.

This seems worse. Sometimes it replies with just the text, sometimes it replies with a full "The image is a scanned document with handwritten text...". I was hoping for some fine tuning or something for it to beat Gemini Flash, it would save me a lot of time. :(

That sounds counterproductive towards creating the better world you are hoping to create. If you're going to use channels of communication that will be shut down after only a few uses that are contrary to the recipients' interests, they should be saved for issues of real rather than symbolic substance.

It does matter whether or not corporations let people easily delete their profiles and accounts, but that won't be solved by a small number of savvy people getting exceptions without actually convincing anyone that the greater principle is important. It will be solved either through regulations, or through convincing the vast majority of users that failing to fulfill this duty irrevocably damages that company's reputation. Regulators this year are just barely on the side of protecting consumers, and next year they will likely begin dismantling many of these requirements. When it comes to actual consumers, I bet barely 10% of people think it is important, and if they do they are convinced it is an inevitability, rather than the type of product defect that justifies them not using a service or product.

In the case of Microsoft, becoming an absurd squeaky wheel seems like a personally risky thing to do.

I did a round of netflix interviews, didn't get an offer (but passed the technical coding rounds) they absolutely had the best interview process of any company I've interviewed at my entire career.

They do make you code but the questions were
1. Not on hacker rank or leetcode
2. Pratical coding questions that didn't require anything more than basic hashmaps/lists/loops/recursion if you want. Some string parsing, etc.

They were still hard, you had to code a fast, but no tricky algorithms required. It also felt very collaborative, it felt like you were driving pair programming. Highly recommended even though didn't get an offer!

Is it just the generic, non-descriptive naming, or what do you think is the root of your distaste for pandas?

Like if we have a dataclass:

obj.thing == value

Or SQL:

SELECT * FROM table WHERE thing = ‘value’

We don’t know what the types are, either, without looking it up.

The fact the dataframe often changes halfway through the program is, I think, more to do with the task at hand, that often pandas is being used to perform data transformation (the T in ETL), where some raw data is read in, and the goal is literally to change the structure to clean it up and normalize it, so the data can be ingested into a SQL table in a consistent form with other data points.

But if transformation is not what you are doing, then yes, that might not be the right use of dataframes.
I think why I will remember about this fight is not the (small) streaming issue I encountered as much as the poor quality of the fight itself. For me that was the reputational loss. Netflix was touting “NFL is coming to Netflix”. This fight did not really make me want to watch that.

There are a lot of different forms of Fama EMH, but even under very weak versions of it an uninformed speculator has the uniform geometric Brownian motion of holding an equity pretty much pegged at 0.5, expected value is par in the absence of an arbitrage opportunity. This is eliding fees and other friction, and eliding the market microstructure in a stand price-time precedence setting.

People (uninformed speculators) routinely think they have alpha by virtue of knowledge that was priced into a Citadel regression days, weeks, or months before they obtained it.

Uninformed speculators are almost by definition gamblers, and it’s pretty much a set cover between gamblers and arbitrageurs.

I wasn’t making fun of arbitrageurs.

P.S. Equities on Island and ARCA are decimalized on the consolidated tape, lit venues can’t have a spread less than one penny.

> How would you write, in Chinese, the words thingamajibber, gizmosity, or half the things that come out of AvE's mouth?

With Chinese characters, of course. Why wouldn’t you be able to?

In English “thing”, “a”, and “ma” are already words, and “jibber” would presumably be the first character in “gibberish”. So you could write that made-up word by combining those four characters.

> But how do you write it down without a phonetic alphabet?

In general to write a newly coined word you would repurpose characters that sound the same as the newly coined word.

Every syllable that can possibly be uttered according to mandarin phonology is represented by some character (usually many), so this is always possible.

---

Regardless, to reiterate the original point: I'm not claiming Chinese characters are better or more flexible than alphabetic writing. They're not. I'm simply claiming that there's no inherent property of Japanese that makes it more amenable to representation with Chinese characters than English is (other than the fact that a lot of its vocabulary comes from Chinese, but that's not a real counterpoint given that there is lots of native, non-Chinese-derived vocabulary that's still written with kanji).

It would be possible to write Japanese entirely in the Latin alphabet, or English entirely with some system similar to Chinese characters, with minimal to no change to the structure of the language.

I don't think it counts as arbitrage, strictly speaking, because from what I can tell, the authors are not making offsetting bets with different bookies to expose themselves only to the difference in odds.

They are, however, finding opportunities where one bookie has odds much longer than others for the same outcome, and betting on that. This means they expose themselves both to the difference in odds and the outcome of the event, but opportunities are plentiful enough that on average it is possible to show a reliable profit in a few months, apparently.

What surprises me about this is that some bookies still offer odds out of line with others. The article mentions that they might do this to counterbalance the risk of large amounts of bets on another outcome, which makes sense. But! I was under the impression bookies placed bets with each other to even out those risks, specifically to avoid creating arb opportunities.

How linear types control the future and prevent bugs [video]
You don't need a frequency sweep. You take three broad spectrum lights and ask people to adjust their brightnesses to match a selection of reference lights. The tool that does this is called an anomaloscope and it was invented before things like lasers in order to study how color vision worked. That work became the basis of CIE (and other standards) that now define how your screen renders accurate colors.

This setup is straightforward to adjust to different types of color vision too. They use 3 lights because that's how many opsins normal humans use for color vision. If you're testing di- or tetrachromats you can use 2 or 4 lights respectively, or 12 if you're testing intelligent mantis shrimp.

Can I ask what you do for version control of SQL?

I ask this sincerely, as I’ve seen many scenarios over the years where a tool like Django is used to manage a Postgres database, solely that the schema migrations are captured in version control. A .sql file can be in version control, but rolling back a git commit is not the same as being able to roll back a schema migration in the actual database.

dumbness is ranking intelligence, which is a positive trait, dumbness is just a metric for how often intelligence fails.

Example - the manager who started this sub-thread may be a pretty smart guy and able to accurately rate the intelligence of the engineers at his organization - but he had a minor momentary failing of intelligence to post on HN calling those engineers fucking morons.

You've got to rank how often the intelligence fails in someone to be able to figure out how reliable their intelligence is.
