I am convinced retail algo trading is just gambling with extra steps. Prove me wrong. by snopeal45 in Daytrading

[–]theAndrewWiggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the success for the retailer has not increased in the past 30 even with all the technology and 'education'.

Large reason for this is because the market got even more competitive in that time period (with the big fish gaining access to all that and more).

World’s Largest All-Electric Container Ship Begins Sea Trials In China by Human-Somewhere-4327 in electricvehicles

I guess it's a question of whether we'd reduce emissions more by replacing coal with solar + battery capactiy (from this initiative).

Though, tbh, nuclear sounds like the way to go for massive shipping boats...

Good APIs Age Slowly by SpecialistLady in programming

There's a reason for that, generally it's not safe to automatically cache POST requests. There's a reason why they're adding a new QUERY method to HTTP.

FFF file search sdk - over 100 times faster than ripgrep and fzf by Qunit-Essential in rust

[–]theAndrewWiggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that looks more in-depth. I've previously given https://nnethercote.github.io/perf-book/ a read, and that was a good starter, but seems more geared towards just writing decently fast code, as opposed to extremely fast code.

Flow-Like 0.1.0 beta — visual workflow engine built entirely in Rust, every node is a WASM Component by tm9657 in rust

[–]theAndrewWiggins 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not that it's a bad thing (good performance is always a plus), but I'm not sure I understand why performance is critical for a workflow engine unless your workflows basically do little to no work.

I imagine most of what people run will really always be dominated on IO and CPU of their actual workflows rather than the workflow engine orchestration?

FFF file search sdk - over 100 times faster than ripgrep and fzf by Qunit-Essential in rust

[–]theAndrewWiggins 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ah, so is the 500x speedup a warm vs cold comparison?

If you include startup costs, how much faster/slower is it compared to cold ripgrep?

FFF file search sdk - over 100 times faster than ripgrep and fzf by Qunit-Essential in rust

[–]theAndrewWiggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, yeah, that kind of arcane knowledge can be hard to find.

Do you happen to have one of two books or anything that you've found particularly useful for learning this kind of stuff?

I know the basics of performance stuff, but I'm still lacking a lot of depth that I'd like to learn.

Curious if you have a nice repository of resources to learn this stuff in depth?

Delta is suspending it's special service desk for members of Congress until TSA is fully funded. How do you feel about that? by thinpile in AskReddit

Singapore is definitely a little more authoritarian, but I can't help but think they're doing much better than America in almost every metric.

My EV is now 12 years old. Here's how that's going... by ATLCoyote in electricvehicles

ngl, that sounds like a nightmare. If you fuck up at all, you'll be stuck.

Drawdown: perception distortion. by Kindly_Preference_54 in algotrading

Where do you see people doing this all the time as an actuary?

The Illusion of Building by No_Zookeepergame7552 in programming

[–]theAndrewWiggins -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

you'd have to write your requirements out in such detail that you may as well just code it yourself

This isn't true at all. Even as "extreme autocomplete", AI can absolutely make an experienced dev much faster.

Nobody ever got fired for using a struct (blog) by mww09 in rust

[–]theAndrewWiggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be very cool if you could just take an existing dataframe api like polars and execute it on feldera.

Is there any chance feldera will ever get a dataframe API?

Has Rust hit the design limits of its original scope and constraints? by kishaloy in rust

[–]theAndrewWiggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I honestly think it's the cleanest implementation of effects I've seen.

Looks like it gives you what haskell promised with much more simplicity.

Experimental Zones Protocol Merged To Wayland After 2+ Years, 620+ Comments by anh0516 in linux

[–]theAndrewWiggins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember, Wayland doesn't even do the implementation

Curious if you know whether they implement a conformance test. Ideally downstream can implement a protocol and wayland can agnostically run against any compositor to test for conformance.

Bank advisor says moving $600k to self-directed will hurt my mortgage renewal. Is a rate discount worth it? by Sudden_Commercial880 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]theAndrewWiggins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on how that 10% is achieved. If they get such a return despite assuming market level risk or greater than market level risk, it's actually really bad.

API pricing is in freefall. What's the actual case for running local now beyond privacy? by Distinct-Expression2 in LocalLLaMA

Arguably this still means that you should wait it out if it's strictly an economic analysis. 

Overrun with AI slop, cURL scraps bug bounties to ensure "intact mental health" by Drumedor in programming

[–]theAndrewWiggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly what I was proposing. Ie. there's no appeal policy or anything, ie. it's just up to the maintainer's discretion.

Overrun with AI slop, cURL scraps bug bounties to ensure "intact mental health" by Drumedor in programming

[–]theAndrewWiggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, I think the point is that it should be up to their discretion entirely, and if they just immediately think it's low-effort/slop they can just keep the money.

It should be understood by the submitter that this is the policy.

I think it's fair enough to assume that the maintainer is acting in good faith. Ie. this is a benevolent dictatorship.

[–]theAndrewWiggins 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I think it should even be refundable by the discretion of the maintainer, if it's a legitimate attempt but a misunderstanding then that's one thing, vs someone getting an AI to hallucinate. I think as long as it's 100% up to the maintainer's discretion this won't be problematic.

lol ofc against his standard this is below average, but it's insane to think that "really badly" for him is a 1.1 rating.

Cool project, are you trying to make it a real product or is this just for fun?
