I hate it when people obfuscate the fact that organizations are not individual entities. Someone, or a group of people, decided to do this, not some faceless org. Some had to greenlight this.
Semi tangent but I am curious. for those with more experience in python, do you just pass around generic Pandas Dataframes or do you parse each row into an object and write logic that manipulates those instead?
What? Their economy is highly dependent on fossil fuel exports. Just because the oil is being burned somewhere else does not absolve them from having dug it up in the first place. Everyone is living on the same planet
My point is that whatever is working for them is not even remotely applicable to 90% of the other countries. They are better than Saudi Arabia and other rich countries, but that's about it.
I find it hilarious that people applaud Norway, whose economy is heavily driven by exporting petroleum gas and crude oil, for leading the world in clean energy adoption.
People are blaming vibe coding but the real culprit was hiring leetcoders in the first place. I genuinely believe the stark decrease in quality of most products across the industry has been driven by that.
There's definitely room for new math but , at least for banks, the process of getting your fancy model validated by internal model validation teams and regulators is so time and energy consuming that most people don't want to bother with using all the fancy math they could use and instead rely on simplifications and simple extensions.
Okay, literature aside, I've often discussed this with my SO. I feel like Americans are obsessed with heroes/villains. Every single issue that arises and is discussed online, is always viewed from the angle of "who do we support and/or who do we hate". During COVID it was Fauci and Dolly Parton, now it's Bovino and Good. I feel like Americans often have a need to put a single person on a pedestal as if they yearn for a symbol. A true cult of personality, for better or for worse.
It's honestly hilarious how fragile all those checks and balances you keep hearing about are. Americans are the first people to criticise other regimes for being authoritarian but I guess the turns have tabled!
I honestly don't know what code bases you guys are working with, for me I tried it with a large quant library (C++ 97) in an effort to modernize it and so far it's been nothing hit a waste of time. Similarly for a medium sized python quant codebase (3.6) trying to port it to 3.12, and it's also been a headache.
If a user has an IG tag in their description, clicking on it leads to https://anon-viewer.com/?url=. Is this site just a warpper around that website? Hmm
I am genuinely surprised that people still get excited about Google announcing new products/services given their track record. Unless it's core to its businesss model, this will probably get axed in a couple of years.
The best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem would be something that unites pip and conda. Conda is not going anywhere given how many packages depend on non-python binaries, especially in enterprise settings.
