After a long break, I'm working on writing about Japan things I find interesting: https://onefromnippon.com/ I'm hoping Japanese vending machines will be an interesting topic for the next post.

#332My primary project the past couple weeks has been applying the AI interpretability technique from Anthropic's famous paper this past summer (you know, the Golden Gate Claude one) to single-cell RNA-seq data. What works on one huge, inscrutible vector space ought to work on another, right? In either case, a fun way to keep in practice, both for comp bio and deep learning. My side-project, in essence, the bash '&' oper…
I may be misunderstanding what you're trying to achieve, but you can simulate the bash '&' operator for a running process by pressing ctrl-Z to suspend the process and send it to the background, then running 'bg' to continue the process in the background.

#333Very testing and production focused. Biggest competitor is ROS though there’s some others popping up now. Our first public release is going to be within a month, I’m excited.

The few times I built TUIs with ncurses I wondered: why do I have to program so much by myself? ncurses is so basic, I didn't have too much fun building UIs with it (more than once). Is there a wrapper or a more modern alternative out there that provides containers and widgets like most GUI frameworks do?

#336I learned how to weld (MIG) and built a giant mushroom to house a mannequin I dubbed "the mushroom man" over about 100 hours in the last 4 weeks. I covered the outside with thick foam panels cut to size, cementing them in place with copious amounts of spray foam. I shaved the outside to a nice shape with a sawzall and the inside I covered in chicken-fenced, then attached a painters tarp to that (so it could be painte…

#339Building algorithmic trading models. So far results continue to be good with every model outperforming the market on both absolute and risk-adjusted basis since going live. Since launching https://grizzlybulls.com in January 2022: Model | Return | Max drawdown ------------------- S&P 500 (benchmark) | 21.51% | -27.56% VIX TA Macro MP Extreme | 64.21% | -16.48% VIX TA Macro Advanced| 59.13% | -19.12% VIX TA Advanced |…
If so good why are you selling it as a service ?
The models are not HFT. Swing-trading the most liquid instrument in the world (ES futures) has extremely high strategy capacity, well into the billions or perhaps 10s of billions, so selling signals does not (currently) in any way negatively impact my own returns.
The alternative would be to start a hedge fund, but that's an expensive and highly regulated endeavor that appeals to a different audience.

I've been curious about doing algotrading for both the data engineering aspect and the quant. Do you have suggestions about books or others sources to get inspiration from ? Is this a one man venture or do you have a group discussing edges ?
Grizzly Bulls is currently a one man (and wife) venture :)
