Finally, something I was able to hint at in the profile. ![]() (For extra credit, reconcile this observation with the fact that chaotic systems are generally ergodic, though "subject to positive destabilising feedback".)ĥ. The rest of you, go back to the books and revise. "Sir, you can't work out the answer to that question in any statistically reliable manner, sir, because economic processes are nonergodic, sir, because the economy is subject to positive destabilising feedback sir!" When Scholes started talking about how finance needed to embrace non-stationary processes, it was all I could do to not quote D-Squared at him: But when you make a list of all the over-simplifications that go into deriving the formula, you have to ask whether it relying on it is ever a good idea.Ĥ. Presumably somebody has modified it to include a finite risk of default (though estimating that risk would be tricky at best see below). Obviously, the problem is that the Black/Scholes/Merton argument assumes the company you're buying stock in will persist indefinitely into the future. Could she have hedged away the risks of that stock by suplementing it with the right number of WebVan options? The question answers itself stuffing the money under her mattress would've had better risk/return properties. Back in the day, one of my in-laws bough stock in, and has made a return to date of -100% they're so belly-up I can't give you a link. Black-Scholes portfolios, combining stock and options in just the right proportions, are supposed to be riskless. I did not have the gumption to ask what it felt like to lose several billion dollars over a summer, or if it was true that when LTCM was raising capital, he'd respond to skeptics by saying they'd make money "because of fools like you".ģ. He was understandably completely bored by the idea of discussing the origins of the Black-Scholes formula yet again other topics interested him more.Ģ. He's pretty clearly the second most arrogant of the five, though also pretty clearly not the smartest, or even the second smartest. Scholes is the fifth Nobel laureate I've had a chance to talk to at some length. (If you don't know who Scholes is, well, read my piece!) Here then a few reflections which it wouldn't have been appropriate to work in to the profile.ġ. The latest of these came from an editor at Quantitative Finance, and led to my conducting a telephone interview with Myron Scholes and writing a profile of him for QF. ![]() Additionally, as pygmy sloths have become more widely recognized internationally, there is growing interest in collecting them for captivity.I am generally receptive to (legal) propositions which involve my receiving sums on the order of my paycheck in exchange for a few days of work. Ongoing disagreements between the local Ngäbe bugle Comarca, regional politicians, and the Panamanian government are further complicating long-term protection of the island and the pygmy sloths. The current status of the island’s custody is vague a governmental resolution, and thus the protected status of the island, cannot be revoked, but no government staff has been appointed specifically to enforce protection of the island. This includes plans for an eco-lodge, a casino, a marina, and a banking center. Despite having been designated as a protected landscape through a governmental resolution in 2009, a number of domestic and international efforts have been mounted to develop tourism infrastructure on the island. These results highlight the need of a continuous evaluation of the population status, trends, and additional studies considering a possible scenario of endogamic depression if the (already low) population size decreases any further. ![]() However, signs of a more recent population bottleneck were also detected. This is expected, considering the history of species diversification and isolation on the island. Preliminary studies suggest a reduced level of genetic diversity for pygmy sloths compared to its putative population of origin, the common sloth population from mainland Panama. Although the island is uninhabited, there are seasonal visitors (fishermen, campesinos, lobster divers, tourists, and local people) who harvest timber to maintain wooden houses on the island.

4/29/2023 0 Comments Charles falco informant![]() "In preparation for the role, I could contact him at any point. "Right from the start, he was available to me," "Gangland's" star Damon Runyan ("One Starry Christmas," 2014) told TV Media. This, however, doesn't stop him from actively being involved in telling his story - spearheading "Gangland," writing for the show and even appearing before each episode. Now, due to the nature of his past efforts, Falco is in the witness protection program. After being contracted by the ATF to infiltrate the Vagos in 2003 (and later the Mongols and Outlaws), he quickly rose through the ranks of the biker gangs and gathered evidence that led to 62 total arrests. Born and raised in Los Angeles, he saw his life take a turn for the worse that landed him at rock bottom. With only one episode left, it's time to hunker down as "Gangland Undercover" brings the chills and the thrills when the season finale airs Tuesday, March 31, on History.įalco is a fascinating man. In 2013, Falco published a memoir detailing his rise as an undercover agent titled "Vagos, Mongols, and Outlaws: My Infiltration of America's Deadliest Biker Gangs." Now, History has created a six-episode fact-based drama that draws its material from the book and Falco himself, and offers viewers a look inside the life of this zero-turned-hero of sorts. The born-again informant is none other than Charles Falco, a burly man whose exploits as an undercover operator for the DEA and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in three of the most notoriously dangerous biker gangs in SoCal are the stuff of legends. While it may seem almost too good to be true, there's no denying that this story did, in fact, take place. Except, the DEA gives him a choice: go to prison for 22 years with no chance of parole or become an undercover informant. The only direction he's headed is straight to the pen, especially after he's caught in a raid by the Drug Enforcement Agency. A man, fully immersed in the drug culture of Southern California, deals methamphetamine to the tune of more than $500,000 a year.

Eventually, all of this stuff like gets in your bones, and you end up developing your own style with influences of everything and everyone you ever listened to. In the case of the guitar you should practice them in multiple positions on the fretboard. The next step is to extract phrases that you like and practice them in all keys. Ideally, you will practice the solo until it you had it down, could replay it in your mind, sing it, feel it, and so on. That being said, you would never go on a gig and play someone else’s solo note for note. ![]() Do you use the solos by the masters in performance, or just in practice?īoth. Keep in mind that even if you are using a written transcription, it is imperative to listen to the recording of the transcription to be able to better understand the player’s feel, articulation, nuances, etc. In that case, using written transcriptions is a very good tool to use until your ear is developed enough to hear everything on your own. However, some people’s ears are not up to the level to do that yet. That way, you get all of the nuances of the player. Transcribing by ear is always the better way to go. What are the benefits of studying written transcriptions vs. Therefore, guitarists, and all instrumentalists should learn transcribed solos by the masters of their instrument in whatever style of music they are interested in. ![]() Michael: Because music is a language and the natural way to learn a language is by copying others who speak the language fluently. Jonathan: Why should guitarists learn solos by master guitarists? Here’s my interview with Michael about the art of transcription and its proper place in the education of any guitarist or musician. He just released the book Contemporary Jazz Guitar Solos (Berklee Press), a follow-up to his first book Bebop Guitar Solos. Both contain meticulously notated jazz solos. Michael Kaplan is a guitarist, writer, and the director of the American Guitar Academy in Tokyo, Japan. Being able to transcribe recordings and performances is an important aspect of learning musicianship and gaining command over your technique. 4/29/2023 0 Comments Apache lucene windows installOn Linux, a patch to setuptools needs to be appliedįirst.

The user experience of P圜harm looks more like an app for coding whereas VSCode offers multiple views for writing code. There are out of box plugins available for P圜harm as well but the community is smaller than VS Code. ![]() Python support is not native in VSCode, You have to install Python – Plugin in VSCode for it to support Python As of writing the article, the plugin is downloaded 39M times from the marketplace. Literally, there are multiple plugins available to achieve a single task. VSCode capability can be extended using plugins available through the marketplace. ![]() It takes time to settle at the startup and consumes a lot of memory and CPU time. P圜harm on the other hand relies on heavy graphical elements to display its features which makes it not suitable for PCs with low configuration. Compared to P圜harm, VSCode is a lightweight editor with extremely responsive UI allowing you to edit multiple files at the same time. Over time as the project grows, P圜harm eats more memory and slows down. Depending upon the project size, it can easily consume at least 1 GB whereas VS Code is less memory intensive and consumes RAM in MBs. While running a Python project in P圜harm, I noticed that it consumes a good amount of RAM. ![]() Syntax highlighting and parentheses matching: Syntax highlighting and parentheses set matching makes it easy for programmers to tell which are opening and closing.Īutopep8 support and code formatting: Autopep8 allows coders not only to input text without worrying about whether it will produce any errors but also save time by avoiding tedious hand-coding schemes from scratchĬommand-line tool: Integrated terminal, makes it easy to work with command-line tools and execute build commands on the fly without having to open a separate application or go through the trouble of switching between the windows. Both VS Code and P圜harm support gits like Github and Bitbucket. Git integration: Git allows team members to work on their part individually while still being able to share changes. The resources are very helpful at the time of creating custom code snippets.Ĭode inspection and debugging: This feature allows you to quickly navigate to either an imported module or a function/method definition with just one click.Ĭode linting/ Static Code Analysis: Static code analysis makes it easy to find compile time or even run time bugs in the code before delivering it to production. User code-defined code snippets: Both have an integrated snippet library that will come in handy when you have to search for snippets. Regexes support in code search: Find in files, rename class or function (or variables), extract a method from the whole class with a single click. You can also view documentation for each definition, variable, class, etc. Hovering over any identifier will enable Intellisense (autocomplete) capability.

VS Code is best suited for those who need an easy-to-use cross-platform code editor with built-in python-support. You might want to consider P圜harm if you are a python developer who needs an IDE with code intelligence features and integrated debugging capabilities. Once you are familiar with IDLE and Python Syntax, you can also try Atom for Python with Plugin installed. Which is not a bad option for someone who has just started learning Python. Most programmers when they start learning Python, they consider using Python IDLE. It is available in two editions community edition which is the freely available and professional edition which costs $89 per year license.

If they could still see you past this point, there would be additional red from the inside of you clouding up the view. Your friend would see you redden and dim as you approach, but never quite reach, the event horizon of the black hole. So as you approached the black hole you would appear more and more reddish, and your image would appear dimmer and dimmer. As you fall towards it, gravity would cause any light coming from you to be redshifted. ![]() Why won’t you ever listen?Ī friend watching you fall toward a black hole would never see you reach the black hole. You wouldn’t survive falling toward a black hole because you wouldn’t listen. I’ve made up some other names for it, such as My Own Private String Cheese Incident, “the soft-serve effect” and “AAAHHHHH AHHHH MY LEGS MY LEGS!!!”. This effect of tidal stretching is sometimes boringly referred to as spaghettification. Eventually the tidal forces would become so strong that they would rip you apart. Because of the tidal forces it would feel as if you are being stretched head to toe, while your sides would feel like they are being pushed inward. These differences in forces are called tidal forces. As you got closer, your feet would feel a stronger force than your head, for example. Suppose you were falling feet first toward a black hole. Technically this is always true, but you wouldn’t notice it… at least at first. As you get closer, the gravitational forces on various parts of your and your dragon’s body would be different. But, as we’ve agreed, you’re ignoring my advice and flying dragon first into this physics nightmare. The gravity of a black hole is just like the gravity of any other large mass, as long as you don’t get too close. If you were falling toward a black hole, most of the time you would simply feel weightless, just as if you were playing Bowie songs and floating in a most peculiar way in the International Space Station. 4/28/2023 0 Comments Fragger overwatch![]() So while s1mple will toil as the games most divisive superstar, and Niko and rain will continue to climb their shoulders, rain and fer will pay their toll as the entries. The symbiotic relationship of the builder and resident can’t be overlooked, and especially not underappreciated. Each pantheon that houses deities has to be built by someone. S1mple could be the so outstanding a star that not even the low function cost of a fer/rain could enable his skill.įer and rain will likely never enter the trifecta these Gods, but that’s not to say they should be left out of the conversation. However, it might very well be that the resources s1mple requires to function at this level are too much for nearly any combination of players to handle. S1mple is forced to carry inferior players and a different configuration of talent would lead to a lesser load to heave and a higher return on his skill. Most people put this down to his teammates. While he remains one the most incredible players of all-time, no roster has been able to put him in a comfort zone while maintaining the balance of the team. However, the difference between s1mple and everyone else is that he has no big results to claim. S1mple can at once create the opening in the round with an AWP pick, find a rifle, spray down two players and then close with a clutch one-deag. This speaks to a resolute mindset, unfathomable raw talent, and selfless focus within a team structure. They have both somehow managed to enter the realm of uncertainty and inconsistency and found a pay-streak of success. For while both the Bosnian and Brazilian round-closers are geared towards statistical stardom, fer and rain are forced to contend from a far more tumultuous position. In many ways, this is actually more impressive than the likes of Coldzera or Niko doing the same. Consistent dominance as entries.īoth fer and rain have, until recently, managed to manifest tournament-to-tournament, near MVP-level performances for over a year. But they do have something equally as awe-inspiring. To perform at a world-class level in the pinnacle of competition month-to-month, not tournament-to-tournament, inspires awe and a characterisation as a ‘God’.įer and rain do not have the same deifying regular 1.2+ event ratings as any of the Gods. The best players of all-time are considered the best because of their consistency. Generally speaking, on player rankings, it’s very hard for entries to be slotted deep in the list for these reasons. |
