Addiction Markets 9 months ago

They absolutely let you withdraw earnings. I place around 20 wagers a day. Pinnacle and Circa are used as measures of what the market is actually pricing in. You can devig lines to arrive at event likelihoods. From there you can line shop such that your expected value is positive over the long run.

Addiction Markets 9 months ago

It’s not that hard to look at lines at Pinnacle and Circa and make estimates about the fair value of a wager. Open accounts at every book and line shop and maximize expected value.

Also you are ignoring platforms like Novig which are like the polymarket for sports betting.

For HTML it's markup tags...h1's, page title, meta keywords, meta descriptions.

My retriever functions will typically use metadata in combination with the similarity search to do impart some sort of influence or for reranking.

Cool! Does this assume the unstructured data already has a corresponding metadata file?

My most common use cases involve getting PDFs or HTML files and I have to parse the metadata to store along with the embedding.

Would I have to run a process to extract file metadata into JSONs for every embedding/chunk? Would keys created based off document be title+chunk_no?

Very interested in this because documents from clients are subject to random changes and I don’t have very robust systems in place.

It's not super clear to me how this interacts with data. If I have am using ADLS to store delta tables, and I cannot pull prod to my local can I still use this? Is there a point if I can just look at delta log to switch between past versions?

Existence is a funny term in Buddhism. The end goal of development stage practice is the recognition that the deity is inseparable from one’s self because the nature of any given deity is equal to our own in an absolute sense. After all, everything is empty of inherent existence and are all self arisen manifestations from a primordial ground of being, hence no you and no I as separate.

So some people do see them as external things to ask things of but others see them as mind created and used as supports for meditation to realize our own true nature. Depends on lineage and teacher.

Science consists of predictions based on measurements of our perception as mediated by our senses or tools that augment them. Dualism (or idealism for that matter) doesn't require religious beliefs. You can arrive at them analytically. Science is great for explaining the conventional reality of things as they appear though. But until I read a convincing explanation for consciousness and subjective experience that doesn't reduce to "neural correlates" I can't get on board with physicalism.

The fact that we're not all unconscious automatons that just evolved from one long cause-effect chain stemming from the big bang to now continues to bewilder me. "Mind" may play an "of the gaps" game here but it's the only reasonable explanation that currently makes some semblance of sense to me.

So currently I agree with the religious on your last point. Machines or AI cannot be conscious. Maybe if they were infused with some sort of biological material though I would say maybe. If our subjective experience is a localization of a thing called "consciousness" and certain forms (humans, animals) localize it to produce a sense of self then why not.

A lot of people quick to try to reduce consciousness to what we can observe about brain functions.

While this explains what happens in the brain as things happen it doesn’t explain why it is like something to be you which is the core of the hard problem of consciousness.

The thought experiment of a philosophical zombie that has all of the same cause-effect reactions to externalities as myself seems to require that it isn’t pure information processing giving rise to consciousness.

I quite like the idea of certain panpsychism arguments that consciousness is itself a thing existing on a continuum inherent across the universe. At a certain point, “what it’s like” to be a certain thing becomes difficult to demarcate. And from the moment of the Big Bang the particles necessary for the construction of conscious beings expanded outward in one giant entanglement. The particles that make us up are the same as everything else in existence however it feels like something to be a person, a deer, possibly a plant, etc.

This is interesting. Jumping into Warzone after everybody has memorized every corner of the map and knows where to look is a pain and something like this could help.

As a former CS player (1.6, CZ, Source, Go) I had these maps committed to memory. Now that I am far removed from school (and the maps got way bigger) this isn't super possible so I find I just get obliterated quickly then just peace out. Not sure if this could help with that as it might border on violating some sort of t&c.

I'll keep a look out for more games! Very cool.

Just a couple of thoughts on this.

- trying to break knee by kicking where it breaks.

Oblique kicks are allowed in MMA.

- attacking your throat and trying to cause injury there,

90's UFC had no rule about this. Currently, while no direct strikes allowed you can trachea crush if you want to force a submission (ezekiel).

perhaps im misunderstanding but just pushing someones knees apart when you are in their closed guard just wouldn't work. and given the presence of the electric chair and the twister i'm not sure that any approach to passing guard would necessarily be disallowed unless you are striking.

I recently discovered Logseq and have been loving the experience of networked notes and markdown. I feel like this is something that has been missing from my workflow that I never realized.

File format is compatible with Obsidian as well so you can move your life anywhere. And you can back up to a private github repo so you can use multiple machines. I like Logseq so much I feel compelled to donate since its main competitor is outrageously priced.

The comments here prove their marketing could use work. SN Extended is basically a completely different app than the free version. Nested folders, smart tags (i organized a workflow with untagged notes going to an inbox folder, notes with due:yyyy-mm-dd being pulled into a Next Items folder etc..)

Also there is a markdown editor, an editor that encrypts and stores attachments in an S3/webdav/drive/dropbox folder. There is a simple spreadsheet editor as well that I use for simple personal sheets.

None of this you would really internalize on a cursory view of the homepage or by really even downloading the free app.

So I googled "can cats eat blueberries" and I see the Purina rich snippet which is my first hint that "yes".

Then I scroll down the page and see multiple other sources confirming this.

So I leave and have my answer without ever having clicked into one of these sites.

Regardless of whether that is beneficial to the publisher, I, as the user, should be thrilled. I don't understand this person's issue. The results for that query appear to be pretty conclusive and all I have to do to see that is look at the descriptions of the results.

Well also, on pretty much every brokerage, if you get assigned a leg of a spread while your position is ITM then your balance drops through the floor far beyond what your max loss is. But that's just temporary until you close the position fully.

I would hope that isn't what happened here because he could have just closed the other side of the assigned leg and accepted a much more modest loss.

edit: this is where a standard brokerage shines. when this first happened to me i called TDA and they walked me through how to get out of my shitty position. Not sure you can do the same with RH.

I just started using Cryptomator for sensitive files on a self-hosted NextCloud (since i access it via internet). The photos thing was an issue so I just sync those unencrypted and use Cryptomator for non-media files - i suppose if I had a photo that I wouldn't want exposed i'd just move it individually over.
