0b01··on The Battle of GameStop
In fact, Citadel Securities has gained a lot money from the $GME event.

Citadel Securities pays tens of millions of dollars for Robinhood order flow.

0b01··on The Battle of GameStop
Citadel can see 80% of retail orderflow such as Robinhood and is massively long since last Friday as can be seen from the calls they are selling.

Now it is likely the steam has run out(gamma cascade) so they are placing their bets on the opposite side by taking over Melvin which is massively short without causing too much market impact.

0b01··on The Weirdness of Kentucky Route Zero (2016)
While I have not played the game this review is beyond useless with its postmodern Pynchonesque gibberish on entropy.
0b01··on Genetic correlation of various human qualities
Reported for trying to start a flamewar.
0b01··on The Guy I Almost Was (1998)
Reminds me of this guy who graduated from Harvard Law School but ended up homeless: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/social-issues/the-homel...
0b01··on Tribes of Programming (2017)
I'm firmly in tribe 2. Programming for its own sake. Having tribe 1 and tribe 3 would be nice but not necessary :)
0b01··on Great Hacker != Great Hire (2004)
Having an encouraging manager is 80% of job satisfaction according to some survey
0b01··on First release of quantum operating system, Deltaflow
Question for those with active imagination: how would quantum computing change Human Computer Interaction? If it doesn't then a kernel driver module for the quantum computing hardware chip would suffice.
0b01··on eBPF Is Awesome
Thankfully all of this native API is abstracted away in C#.
0b01··on eBPF Is Awesome
Technically it's JITted not AOT compiled.
0b01··on eBPF Is Awesome
LLVM also has a BPF backend so you can compile any C++/C program to run on BPF.
0b01··on eBPF Is Awesome
If you program on Windows you should check out Event Tracing for Windows(ETW). Similar to eBPF, ETW is a logging framework inside Windows kernal. Microsoft.Diagnostics.Tracing.TraceEvent[0] is a nice nuget package for logging and analyzing ETL files.

0b01··on Autism and Invention Are Connected
There's an entire field (although a small one) dedicated to this called Evolutionary Psychopathology. The idea is that mental illnesses are failure modes of adaptive phenotypes. For example high functioning autistic couple could produce a severely autistic child.
0b01··on Video game lets you do nothing in particular in a suburban Russian tower block
Reminds me of the movie The Death of Mr. Lazarescu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_of_Mr._Lazarescu
0b01··on A word for a value between 0 and 1 (inclusive)
Normalized could also imply demeaned.
0b01··on Ask HN: What is the most beautiful piece of code you've ever read?
This may be an elegant piece of code at first glance except the niceties of quicksort such as cache locality and stability come entirely from the in-placeness of the partition procedure.
0b01··on Overwatch's Mei Is Becoming a Symbol of the Hong Kong Resistance
This is in fact free publicity for Overwatch. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a boost in sales in the next quarter. I have no problem with it since it's one of the greatest games ever made.
0b01··on Autocompletion with Deep Learning
I think the tokens are simply one hot encoded. Though some sort of word2vec embedding is also situationally plausible
0b01··on Autocompletion with Deep Learning
Greatest autocompletion tool ever created just got better!
0b01··on How Discount Brokerages Make Money
Then all the liquidity would aggregate within the last millisecond of that 10 minute interval
0b01··on Explaining Sex Rate Changes
Funny thing you mentioned it. While I personally think nobody should read his works, Houellebecq is the writer to peruse after contracting a terminal case of spiritual malaise. One thing I want to add is that Houellebecq's body of work is an assortment of potential solutions to this modern day problem which has become more pronounced in the US lately.

The Extension of the Domain of the Struggle (Whatever) is his first novel. The motif is that similar to economic inequality, due to sexual liberation, the sociosexual arena has become more winner-take-all, hence the extension in the title. The plot chronicles the disillusionment of a sexless programmer in denial after going on a road trip with a similarly dysfunctional co-worker who ended up commiting suicide. The story ends the protagonist going postal but offers no practical solution.

His next book The Elementary Particles follows two half-brothers who were dysfunctional in opposite ways. One was a complete sex addict who failed to individuate and the other became a monk like molecular biologist responsible for making sexual reproduction obsolete.

His next novel Platform is an in-depth analysis of the discontentment of sex tourism from the perspective of his alter ego, which is clearly formed by his own lived experience in Indonesia. I think it's his least coherent work FWIW.

The Possibility of an Island arguably follows the timeline of Atomised and describes the nature of love through the narrative of three clones of the same person from the hedonistic present, totalitarian future and hunter-gatherer post-apocalytic future.

Submission is about the return to traditionalism after a Muslim party won the election in France. The effect is complex but nominal as we all know there is no going back.

I am waiting for the English translation of Serotonin which should be released before end of next year.

0b01··on Microsoft Bing not only shows child pornography, it suggests it

0b01··on Ask HN: Best robust laptop for everyday software development
Surprised nobody mentioned Lenovo yoga 910 yet. I got it last year, run Ubuntu with i3 on it, haven't charged in 2 days with on and off usage.

0b01··on Ripple co-founder fifth richest person in US, rivaling Zuckerberg
Ripple is a scam to round up as many Bitcoins and Ethers as they can. When bitcoin is $200,000, Ripple will still be $2-3.
