The stats are abysmal. What's the MDD compared to S&P 500. What is the Sortino? What are the confidence intervals for all the stats? Number of trades? So many questions....
Sure - I guess what I was asking is how to make sure everything is okay in the unstructured -> structured conversion.
"My name is John and I'm 40 years old" -> {name:"John", age:40}
How can you gain confidence that the AI doesn't spit out {name:"John", age:41}
The only thing I do currently is have a massive test suite to gain some statistical confidence it works, but I worry about situations like a person having a rare unicode character in their name (not to even speak of people intentionally trying to trick the system)
Don't have the AI do the data parsing. Have the AI write a parser and have the parser do the parsing. Think about how a person would parse vasts amounts of data. They write a parser to do it. Devil is of course in the details.
I agree about the importance of that use case, but how do you confirm that the AI doesn't modify the data in some unwarranted manner during the process?
Great question! Don't use AI to process the data, especially when a computer can do the work :-). AI is good at taking unstructured data and structuring it. Computers are great at computing.
Here is an example of Google's AI failing

ChatGPT also fails: https://imgur.com/a/mb3rRgZ
and here is the ThetaEdge result: https://imgur.com/a/ZAZZgiR
This is really cool! I always believed one valuable use case for AI is to take unstructured data and structure it.
I am building ThetaEdge (https://thetaedge.ai) which is in Beta now. We built a similar feature but specific to investing and markets. You get notified when certain market things you care about happen like 'Alert me when nvidia releases a new product' or 'tell me when a 20 delta call for Apple is more than $1'.
The challenge of building something like this is consistency and accuracy which is important in finance.
Awesome to see a clean focused product like YesNotice with a very clear utility.
I've been using blender since at least 2010; it's so exciting to see how much progress it's making.
I'm very excited to see the addition of structs and closures/higher-order functions to blender nodes! (I've also glanced at the shader compiler they're using to lower it to GLSL; neat stuff!) Not only is this practically going to be helpful, the PL researcher in me is tickled by seeing these features get added to a graphical programming language.
If you haven't heard of Blender before, or if you think AI will replace all the work done in it, fair enough. But I'd still strongly suggest looking into what it is and how it works.
I've used blender since 1999. It's my favorite open source software. Simply amazing
SailfishOS and the Jolla One were good (awesome usability) But the integration of Android was a horribly failure. It is like WINE, half working applications preventing native ports of quality. I left the boat.
After that Jolla failed with the tablet. Then they didn’t deliver a successor device for Jolla One and provided SailfishOS only as aftermarket OS. You remember the Android problem from above? The hardware of others, without official support? That is calling for problems.
And to make everything worse Jolla started a cooperation with Russia in 2015. According to Wikipedia they quit it in 2021.
Hint about compatibility and APIs
Never try to be compatible to an environment which doesn’t want to maintain interoperability with you.
The android support improved a lot such that all the apps I used worked there.
Seems to correlate with the increase and decline of lead poisoning. I guess the plus side of lead poisoning was an interesting world. We need more deviants than ever now, given the authoritarian push we are seeing. Too many obey.

I'm personally boycotting Israeli companies for obvious reasons.
There's not really an equivalent with most service industries. Software engineers don't even need to be around for the programs to keep running.
