I think stock market is a vague term. It depends on what "market" you're trading in. If you're trading highly liquid stocks with large market caps you'll be in against large hedge funds employing hundreds of people.

Not myself, but I know someone who was making a living from sports betting a few years back. It's not that different from "gambling" in the stock market. The same principles apply. You need some kind of egde, which often is 1

I'm one of the people who started using emacs just for org-mode about a year ago. I've been using it daily to manage my schedule, TODOs and projects. It's nice, but IMO overhyped by a very vocal religious minority. I've

Wow. I actually agree with dhh on this one, but the way he responded to this, freaked out, and made childish accusations and Bitcoin jokes does not speak well for him. This really changed my image of dhh and his companies. This is beyond un

I'm sorry that this is off-topic, but we can we please ban Medium links? I cannot read the article because of the paywall and I have no interest in spending my time hacking around it.

It's not so unusual in my experience. I used to do research in this area and we ran side-by-side human evals with our experiments. Yes, huge jumps in BLEU typically imply better human ratings, but the variance is big. Many times, signi

By using tools for this you will inevitably spend additional time organizing, tagging, and summarizing notes, most of which is probably a waste of time. The article has a pretty good example of this > I find watching how this knowledge g

This seems to be a new trend now. I'm skeptical. Many of the most successful people I know don't have complicated systems like this - instead of spending time on optimizing note taking, they actually get stuff done. In fact, many

Where do you draw the line between "generating" and "copy-pasting from its vast memory"? Why do you think what humans do is not copy & pasting different snippets of information they have come across in the past? Isn&

No. At least not through the normal application process. I have worked with many brilliant Indian people, and some of my favorite colleagues were Indian. However, there is so much "noise" in India's talent pool [1] - bad comm

I use postgres for pretty much everything these days, sometimes with Hasura if I need GraphQL. There was a short period of time (1-2 years or so?) where I did my projects with Mongo, but right now I don't see what it can offer over som

There is Prometheus [1]. It has bindings for pretty much all languages and integrates nicely with Grafana [2], which is used to plot Prometheus queries onto nice-looking dashboards. I have been using Prometheus for many projects and couldn&

That's a good point and it makes sense, but couldn't you hedge the inventory risk?

by gas9S9zw3P9c 6y ago
To me, MM is the activity of providing liquidity with passive buy and sell orders - profiting from the spread while taking on inventory risk. That's also how exchanges define it, paying (or giving discounts to) traders whose orders are

Oh yeah, when I said "lower profits" I didn't mean per roundtrip, but overall lower profits over a longer period of time due to fewer trades happening at wider quotes. HFT almost always quotes minimum spreads, so my question

by gas9S9zw3P9c 6y ago
Hm, maybe I'm fundamentally misunderstanding something. Let's just say the price is a random walk. It's not directly relevant to the argument, but for simplicity. An HFT MM will make money by continuously quoting ask/bid

by gas9S9zw3P9c 6y ago
Out of curiosity, why do MMs have to operate on HFT time horizons? Couldn't they operate on a somewhat lower frequencies by quoting wider? Sure, they won't see the same profits, but why is it impossible?

How do you deal with multiline data? For example, what if I wanted to add a multiline code snippet?

Exactly. This thread describes perfectly how humans love making up stories in their own mind to get the illusion they "understand" something. There's nothing to understand here, and no single simple reason, except that a larg

For me, yes. These days, pretty much all my searches are prefixed with specific domains, such as `site:news.ycombinator.com`. It's a small whitelist of domains like, reddit, HN, stackoverflow, twitter, wikipedia, etc. If I don't d

I had the exact same thought. I would suggest to take out the .ai because it IMO makes you look disingenuous. If your name is already clear marketing BS, then someone may extrapolate that to the rest of your product. That happened to me, yo

I used to write everything in Golang, but recently ported many things to Rust, so I feel like I have a good idea here. I'd consider myself quite proficient in both. I see Go and Rust as almost opposites. Go is "easy" and make

First, you should be clear what your goal is. "Learning Japanese" is ambiguous. For example, I know many people who passed the JLPT N1 exam, but cannot have a simple conversation with a native and have a horrible accent nobody can

This is a great question. I spent the last ~10 years hopping around jobs, working at both FAANG and small startups, but I never stayed anywhere more than 1-2 years. I also moved around a lot. My biggest mistake was focusing too much on sala
