Depends what the market rate was at the time and how the exchange handled the error. People unfamiliar with markets are often surprised how often there are serious issues. It’s not uncommon for trades from a specific time period to be inval

I’ll believe this when I see an AI model become as good as someone with just ten years experience in any field. As a programmer I’m using chatgpt as often as I can but it still completely fails to be of any use and often proves to be a wast

Totally understand. I definitely took issue with a lot of the article and wondered what this person does for a job but a lot of the comments are fighting a narrative that only existed in the headline.

I think more people in these comments should read the whole article before responding. The author intentionally takes several turns to arrive at a nuanced view, with a final statement that I think most here would agree with: "Hacking i

Multiprocessing is not a real solution, it’s a break-glass procedure when you just need to throw some cores at something without any hope for reliability. Unless something has changed since I used python, it is essentially a wrapper on Fork

I think there’s a meaningful difference between sota LLM tech and crypto. I’ve not yet seen a real problem which was better solved by crypto beyond just being not official money. I’ve already used the openai api to automate several genuinel

Here in Japan, every big electronics store sells 8k televisions from a number of Japanese brands. NHK also broadcastsl some (all?) of its content in 8k. I don’t know much about the technical aspects so I can’t attest to whether it is “true”

I ran Manjaro as my main Linux environment for three years. I don’t recommend it. It’s actually much more difficult to debug any issues than just setting up Arch.

Very cool to see researchers moving the needle on something as fundamental as PCA. A few caveats for the "impact" in finance: PCA is an oft-used tool during the initial research phase, however, once a model, whether on the alpha o

This aligns well with my personal experience using gpt-4. The model provides surprisingly good responses on topics which I know are readily available online while being potentially troublesome to find the exact information I want. I have ev

Yellen folded? What does this really mean? The “market” will test her how? The market is only interested in pnl. Insolvent banks are a great place to make a trade. Hardline central bank policy (Japan) would be a place to make a trade. Treas

You said you don’t want to “crap on python” which I never said you were. I’m simply pointing out that what you’re “shocked by” makes complete sense if you look at what can be gained by people “bikeshed and optimize and compile python”

A lot of effort is dedicated to trying to improve the speed because python is so widely used that improving performance could have a massive beneficial impact. Migrating to a new language is not easy when you have millions of lines of code.

What compliance issues are there? Copilot is already being adopted at the enterprise level. Microsoft is not going to miss out on enterprise by trying to ship data out.

Just note that the FDIC provides deposit insurance up to $250k per named individual on the account. So joint accounts with married couples would be $500k. You can add children to increase as well.
