The CPUs that handle 86% of all credit card transactions for example (in the various mainframes IBM builds). Pretty nice modern architecture still capable of executing 60 year old code.

Well the book certainly makes it look much more mundane, Simons appears to be more of a skilled people manager and the heavy lifting was apparently done by others for the most part.

This is compatible in so far as you need to estimate parameters to calibrate any such strategy. In the simplified model that is explained in the lecture notes I linked to, you would start with eq. 6.6 on page 25 as an Ansatz for the transit

The assertions you make are not necessarily in contradiction to what I am saying. In discretised form most of the formulas I'm talking about boil down to simple linear algebra with unknown parameters. You can then use essentially linea

My long standing hypothesis on Medallion is that they figured out how to apply gauge theoretic techniques to financial markets. This fits with Simons work that he did before he founded the fund. The fact that gauge theory is applicable to f

As a slight counterpoint (I haven't looked into the claims of the patents too much): There is the well known Kerr-Newman solution of a rotating, charged black hole. It is well known that a relativistic rotating charged disk approximate

Which is probably one of the reasons why Julia takes ages to do a simple plot.

I don't know how that relates to EU projects. I'm not alleging corruption, just stating facts. The flagship projects were promised 1 billion in funding over 10 years. A lot of that money was spend in Switzerland, which isn't

Well other big European projects like the HBP turned out less than ideal. If any of the past track record is an indication any EU led project will be a huge political mess, with ~20% going to administrative overhead and only 1/10th of

In science as in pretty much any other discipline you should always weigh someones opinion by their believability / credibility. The credibility of someones opinion on something is a function of their knowledge / experience of the

This is not a very original recommendation. In fact a major selling point of String Theory is that one can manage to derive both Einstein's Field equations and quantum field theory scattering amplitudes from its equations. This approac

I don't know where you get the idea from that France had bad institutions, but I can not disagree more. They have a long track record of stellar institutions, most of the continental law tradition was modelled after the French 'co

That also seems like a great way of some more bomb testing coming your way.

I think it entirely depends on how you use tools. Where I currently work people decided that it would be a great idea to extend waf (another niche build system) with all kinds of features. If you ever worked with waf you can probably imagin

Just to be clear, if you were in China and made these kinds of comments about Chinese police online, more likely then not you would end up in a much worse situation, if you didn't use appropriate counter measures.

There is a nice derivation of Newton’s law from quantum field theory in Zee‘s book „Quantum Field theory in a nutshell“. You can also arrive at Einstein’s field equations by deriving the beta function of bosonic string theory and (2-2 scatt
