This is only true for arb opportunities on exchanges that offer colocation (which leaves almost all crypto exchanges as fair game). But if you can't get colocation, there isn't much point in having the FPGA anyway since the networ

The reason for this is that chemical reaction rates are temperature dependent, and cold blooded animals need different systems of chemicals/proteins to keep them operating over significantly different temperatures. I wonder to what deg

Homeowners still make up the majority of voters by a pretty significant margin [0]. And one could argue that immigration is related, which is a serious problem in Canada, whereas there are much better solutions than curbing immigration in t

Individuals can and do make non-financially motivated decisions. But in larger groups, especially a large corporation like J&J, you can apply the law of large numbers and determine that decisions are a result of incentives (primarily mo

I used it in production for a while, but it caused instability with pandas and often froze so I had to take it out. It does have some serious speed benefits for simple / pure-Python without compiled libraries.

For most places, it makes sense that there needs to be shelter spaces available in order to relocate a person. But in reality, there are certain homeless meccas that are much more attractive to homeless people, where the local government ca

You could say the same thing about most HN users' software jobs, but then upon deeper inspection, you would realize: oh, there's a value here (however slight), which is why people are getting paid for it. Impacts of HFT on society

Couldn't find anything in the article about whether these still require gel (or if the gel is an absolute requirement for the conventional ones). Anyone know?

This is probably largely accurate -- not to mention the fact that Apple has been using efficiency cores longer than x86 competitors.

Steens mountain is one of my favorite places I've visited. I found it when I was young by just looking at maps for what seemed like the most remote area I could drive to. Unfortunately it was humid in the summer when I went and the sta

I always thought Saylor's liquidation would be the perfect reversal signal during the last bear market, but alas, it was FTX, and Saylor survived. Of course, it's plausible that he'll take out some massive loans to buy Bitcoi

Not sure why you're being downvoted, but a carbon tax is a little too elegant to expect from a modern politician. This is far messier and more arbitrary. And just one of numerous proposed changes (the linked page is only tangentially a

Not from the UK, but such bullying stereotypes seem to be overblown in US media. I'm not saying they don't happen, but Hollywood seems to show some violent bullying happening to virtually every male teen protagonist. During my chi

While I'd agree that the article itself is mediocre, it does list all its sources, which seem perfectly valid. This is just a shallow dismissal and an appeal to authority. It irks me how some people think it's impossible to have e

My mom found an old portrait painting in an antique shop decades ago that looks similar to these. It's definitely a great painting, and it's signed Rembrandt, but of course there are hundreds of fakes out there for every real pain

Even ignoring the possibility of intentional jamming, I wonder if the increase in radar-equipped cars will start causing significant interference in other cars' operations. Every once in a while I get a phantom "brake!" signa

You could probably answer all of your own questions pretty easily and recognize that I'm not talking about a bleach injection. Maybe your gripes make more sense in a socialized medicine country. Sure, they have to sacrifice people at t

The point that some people miss here is that it doesn't matter. If you are going to die from ALS in 2 years, are you going to feel satisfied when the FDA says "we won't let you try this; it probably won't cure you"?

Someone close to me has ALS and their only options seem to be in Mexico and China, not anywhere in the US. From their research, it definitely seems like the FDA is the big bad not only in preventing treatments as a default, but also by disi

Interesting, do you have a good source for this? Based on personal experience, it does seem somewhat intuitive that psychedelics would make you be more comfortable being "you", regardless of who you really are.

IMO the problem is not that ads are better targeted, but the fact that they exist at all on the OS (let alone an OS I paid money for). Microsoft is truly cancer.

As with all gig economy services, do your due diligence with the user ratings, etc. Whether it is cheaper depends on the area, but that definitely isn't the selling point for me. The selling point is not having to stand in line at the

Strongly recommend Turo. I tried it recently after a similarly terrible experience with Hertz. Never going to turn back to traditional car rental companies -- it's so much easier, saves you significant time, and is (sometimes) cheaper.

Relatively so. This is essentially a much smaller version of what a search engine does (since their sources are curated).

While I imagine building knowledge of sources into the model itself is no trivial task, it would be so easy to search the training data against the output of the model to generate references.
