  • Using AI for trading

    Jump

  • My understanding is that HFTs - which are highly profitable - likely use some AI-techniques.

    (Though I doubt that they are using LLMs - or at the very least, the ones we are familiar with.)

  • How far back in time could you go with your skills?

    Jump

  • Well-played.

  • but not calculus or set theory

    My computer science curriculum covered calculus - perhaps not as rigorously as the mathematical sciences, but enough for it to be "working" knowledge (personally, I've forgotten 90% of it since graduation).

    Plus, I am sure a computer science teacher should be at least familiar with these topics, or be capable of picking them up.

  • That's basically every trash isekai anime / manga / light novel.

  • computer scientist / CS teacher, probably the 1960's

    I'm not sure how well of a living they've made back then, but surely mathematicians / math teachers were a thing since ancient times.

  • A refugee’s deportation rattles a deeply conservative town: ‘What Trump has done is not Christlike’

    Jump

  • Randall has known Binod for more than 16 years. A self-described conservative constitutionalist Christian, he blames Joe Biden for Binod’s deportation. “Biden was completely responsible for it. Trump wasn’t,” he said. In Randall’s view, Trump was “just fixing the border”, cleaning up after Biden’s failure to control immigration, and Binod was collateral damage.

  • Why do I have to click read more?

    Jump

  • Perhaps to mess with bots that scrape content?

    Maybe some kind of bot detection is done in the background, and humans are able to pass the check easily when they click on the button. Crawlers, on the other hand, would have a harder time getting through.

    I guess this is to prevent others from reposting their content easily.

  • Florida man opens fire during argument over how many eggs a chicken can lay: police

    Jump

  • That's the joke, no? That they are obviously all different people, but we treat them as one person - with the superhero name Floridaman - who's responsible for all the weird shit.

  • Let's get real: What's your favourite Dinosaur? And why?

    Jump

  • Fantail. It is pretty cute.

    If it has to be extinct, then Deinonychus. It is like the Velociraptor, but is actually big enough to mean business.

  • The highlighted division and factions of Lemmy.

    Jump

  • Tribalism. Humankind haven't progress beyond the instincts of having in-groups and out-groups.

    Until that happens, there will be discrimination. People would see things in black and white instead of understanding there are shades of gray between.

  • Pull "Request"

    Jump

  • Software Quality Collapse

    Jump

  • Agree

    Personally, I see this as a variation (superset?) of Conway's Law

  • Discussion between John Ousterhout and Robert Martin ("Uncle Bob") on "A Philosophy of Software Design" and "Clean Code"

    Jump

  • "Not having time for it" is usually faulty thinking.

    It absolutely is.

    The whole point of software design is that any time invested into it pays back multiple times.

    Try telling an unreasonable boss this.

  • Discussion between John Ousterhout and Robert Martin ("Uncle Bob") on "A Philosophy of Software Design" and "Clean Code"

    Jump

  • My take / how I code:

    Method length - when in doubt, and there's no time to do much thinking due to a tight deadline, shorter is better

    (Method length shouldn't be the determining factor that goes into the design IMO. It should be other principles like cohesion. Shorter methods - on average - just happen to be side-effects of good design)

    Comments - generally leave no comment where the code is capable of expressing itself; I do leave comments where it seemed helpful / necessary

    Bundling vs TDD - no strong preference; both can be helpful depending on the situation

    Bonus: the code for the prime number generator is atrocious. I did not bother reading the sections on it.

  • is there any legitimate use of blockchains?

    Jump

  • it's that there aren't even any realistic theoretical applications.

    Here's the neat thing about research: the researcher themselves may not even know the kind of outcomes their research would bring about in the future.

    It is not necessarily a known unknown in which we work towards a theoretical application; it could very well be an unknown unknown.
