Indeed what I do as well; gives me apps for Youtube, Netflix, etc. The only downside is that you have to login if you do not use the "app" for a while. Would Electron get around this?
Suppose you have a liberal mindset and work there, you must bend the knee and practice anticipatory obedience, or why else would you tell the world that the rocket will be ”dropping into the Gulf of America?“
I’m a liberal and I have absolutely zero opinion about what we call various bodies of water. The hands wringing over such inconsequential monikers makes me embarrassed sometimes to be part of this party.
That's very healthy, but in this case it feels more like building things for people you disagree with, and who ultimately don't want you to disagree with them.
While I agree with your general point, as an outsider what struck me the most about Trump ordering the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America" was the pettieness of it, and as such I don't really care.
I mean, I live in Germany now, and the German name for Germany isn't Germany (except when it is because Denglish is surprisingly also used in political posters), and likewise has a different name in French (Allemagne), Dutch (Duitsland), Danish (Tyskland), Polish (Niemcy), and Czech (Německo).
Or how the body of water separating Great Britain from mainland Europe is "The English Channel" or "La Manche" (literally "the sleeve", but also name of a department of Normandy).
Seems to me that having your name localised into other languages shows a degree of respect (or at least familiarity). Pity also the French, Franzozerinen; the Anglais, Grossbritannierinen; or the Dutch.
Exonyms definitely aren't always positive — Niemcy and Německo are both from Proto-Slavic "němъ": unclear/incomprehensible speaker; muttering; mute/unable to speak.
It‘s still a stark abuse of power and borderline extortion by Google to use a private sentencing mechanism rather than dragging the purpetrator to public court over advertising and/or encouraging criminal activity, which may or may not have happened if Google Ads and Youtube were not part of the same monopolistic entity.
Did they use the online Deepseek Chat or the open source model. If you ask either about the Tianenmen Square you get very different answers, which may be true for response quality as well.
Not sure about that. It depending on how the model is abliterated, different questions will be unscensored, also keep in mind that Deepseek is NOT trained with certain information.
I made that same experience. You can get individual people to install it, sure, you may even get a group to do this if you start it, but good luck convincing the other parents of your kid‘s sports team group, which btw you must be part of.
Unfortunately, we living beings tend to go with what costs the least amount of energy - this being thinking and going through extra efforts to achieve a goal. Hence, we‘re stuck with WhatsApp by a law of nature.
I would argue that not spending money on it and showing to upper mgmt that the folks they hired can actually get the job done often contributes to an external contractor not getting hired.
You might want to question, why didn‘t you ask the guys for money before starting to work for them. True, but I guess they were of the kind, show me results and then maybe we move on. On the other side, a 30-40k pilot project in this area is not difficult to negotiate if you‘re patient.
It takes so much more to running a business than lower cost with clever math that this step often comes at a later stage when larger companies look for ways to stay competitive, which is when they start to take a look at their accounts and figure that certain cost really stack up. Then you come in. The only real power you would have gotten over that company would have been for those guys getting fired and replaced by a vendor - ideally that‘s you!
Assuming you add all the annoying details that algo trade execution brings, the algorithm still provides the answer on which position to take within a few microseconds, which is what you want if you trade in a limit order book.
true, you want microsecond decisions at the core, no doubt ; but that’s only half the game. an ideal action in clean memory isn’t the same once it hits fragmented liquidity, stale quotes, partial fills. if the algo doesn’t account for execution drift or book pressure post-placement, the microsecond edge fades fast. so yeah, fast compute’s necessary but not sufficient without modelling the messy tail end too
This is also why we make the strong argument of why this method is useful mainly for backtesting new parametrizations or forecasts. Actually trading live below the second-mark, currently does not seem to be very beneficial on the continuous intraday market (even in a sterile backtesting scenario).
There‘s still a lot of work left to do to go from an academic prototype to live trading: real-time data, market access, SCADA, compliance & legal, security, … Also you must be a physical player that owns the battery and/or right to use it and not just do paper trading.
There is "virtual" (paper) trading in the day ahead markets in the US, but it's just for amounts of energy. You can't make a fake battery for the grid operator to optimize.
