  1. How Krakow Became a Financial Hub

    Krakow may not be able to compete on the global stage with cities like Dubai or Singapore, but…

  2. Es ist unfassbar, wie viele compatibility layers man installieren muss, um #Keras in #R zum laufen zu bringen.

    Ich weiß schon, dass manche #Quants #Python nicht mögen, aber c'mon, ich habe gerade ein #JavaSDK installiert, um die #setuptools für den r-Keras-Wrapper aufsetzen zu können. Reeeeeaaaaaly?! 🧐

  6. I know two brilliant recent graduates in applied #maths, one from Stanford, the other from Harvard. I’ve known them since they were pre-teens. Both of them, for years, had expressed the desire to become #quants. They recently interviewed at Jane Street and both were rejected, not because they lack mathematical sophistication—far from it—but because they lack computational (specifically FP of the OCaml persuasion) skills.

    I accept that the pace of work at Jane Street cannot afford train-up time. In any case, this was a loss on the part of Jane Street.

    It is all for the better, though. In a few years, these two kids would have earned their applied maths PhDs, and would have acquired the requisite computing chops, say in Agda or Lean, and they can dive bomb straight into the senior-level quant role, instead of having to work their way up from the bottom with just an undergraduate diplomas.

  11. A new study confirmed that time can flow in "both" directions.
    So, scientifically, I didn't forget anything. I just don't know yet.
    Right?

  28. @0vinz La prof dit dans l'article qu'elle n'enseigne pas la spéculation. Je me demande alors ce qu'elle enseigne. Vous connaîtriez, Michael, des #quants qui travaillent "autrement" ? pour/à/sur la #décroissance (disons à la #sobriété, si le terme est trop polémique) et un rééquilibrage en faveur de l'économie réelle, pae exemple ? Leur expertise pourrait-elle être appliquée à des modèles éthiques, voire #anticapitaliste's (mince, encore un gros mot) ? Bref, peut-on être quant engagé ?

  31. any #quants / #mathematicians familiar with #VPIN ? ref: quantresearch.org/VPIN.pdf
    It's literally a splash of #bayesian probability along with other stuff. Super interesting read for me so far.

    Interestingly, I apply these principles without having known they existed intuitively, so this is a fun read.
