Slightly off-topic, but can anyone comment on the quality of the EV charging infrastructure in the EU? Outside of owning an EV and charging it at home/work, are fast chargers reliable and abundant enough for road trips?…
Yes, but also this particular company has the means to justify the expense. I think there's enough opportunity at scale in the industry to really change the business landscape. Aside from that (and assuming a large…
What's different this time around? The author made compelling points regarding capex cycles and supply/demand imbalances. So how does NVDA continue to deliver these returns over the next 10 years? Are the 4 firms…
Pretty neat suite of visuals there! What's the helix intended to represent?
> By the way, this post was totally built with the help of another language model which is not Claude! Was an LLM really necessary to write this article? The LLM fluff glosses over a few interesting points/questions: -…
As someone who hasn't yet jumped into working with multiple agents simultaneously, where does a tool like gastown help you the most?
The exception rather than the norm, yeah but IMO his takes are refreshing/insightful.
Gappy is one of the more decorated, public figures in the space. That PDF gives a candid overview of what it's like to interview/work in the industry.
Custom schema wrapper or some package you'd recommend from pypi?
Interesting article, but about halfway through what was a convincing analysis of an ongoing diesel shortage turned into a fear piece on the US/China relations and a corresponding economic collapse. Diesel production…
Start small and invest where you have an edge. No edge? Buy the market and keep some gunpowder on the side when an opportunity comes up. Small players have advantages the big guys don't have at scale and vice versa. The…
My use case isn't IOT, but about once a month I get a massive data dump from a vendor. Think tens of millions of rows and 100+ columns. Cleaning, ingesting and querying this data via standard RDBMS is a slow and brittle…
Exciting project and definitely something I'd like to explore using. I particularly like the look of the API ergonomics. A few questions: - is the schema inferred from the data? - can/does the schema evolve? - are…
I don't think Spotify and streaming killed the music subculture, it's still very much alive but requires more intention to find. Back in the day how did you find new music? Pre-2000s it was likely MTV/radio for…
I'd love to see a production grade release of this package with async and BCP support. MSSQL has always been a second class citizen (and rightfully so) amongst its open source peers and now it's nice to see MS…
I think the Catholic church's actions could be rationalized through the lens of preserving influence. Descartes' ideas could be viewed as fostering a mindset of self-reliance and independence which is antithetical to a…
This is a great resource, thank you for putting this together
In other more heavily regulated industries, whistleblowers are fortunately compensated and protected for raising such ethical issues. I wonder how far tech can go before we start to see similar government agencies and…
What's the net benefit to the taxpayer/government for divesting from Fannie/Freddie?
This whole comment is a bit too sensational for me, however I want to highlight one fragment: > When you have so many people alive, who can do nothing in exchange for food [...] AI, for now, only exists in the digital…
Yeah I see what you mean, you can always disable specific features, but I think that's a habit mypy tries to enforce. They consider redefining a variable bad practice. Even in rust you have to be explicit about doing…
If using python with type annotations, linters like ruff and mypy do a great job at identifying issues. It's no substitute for tests and nor will it give you the same guarantees that rust will at compile time. But I…
Adding to this, stochastic calculus matters more for modeling volatility/interest rates/derivatives. As you mention, Python/ML are more than suitable for many other areas within quant finance like optimization, algo…
I have a couple use cases in mind and am excited to give it a whirl. Thanks for creating this!
This is a really exciting development. Can anyone currently using this chime in on working with pyodide/dependency management in this setting? I imagine that this reduces the iteration time for developing excel…
