What everyone is missing: the biggest advantage of the Euro is debt. Once you can take loans out in Euro, investors can give you lower rates since they’re not worried about a national bank going haywire and debasing the local currency. Also no potentially illiquid currency markets that need to be cleared going in and out of the currency.
Ask a homeowner the difference between a 2% loan (euro price) and 5% (local currency) and you’ll understand why so many countries have opted for the Euro.
Does anyone understand how the Market Expert works? It takes in numerical OHLC data and converts it to embeddings for use by the LLM… but embedding are also numbers so I don’t see how that’s any easier for the LLM to process since it’s a language model.
> The Market Analyst LLM focuses on analyzing historical OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Vol-
ume) data to predict stock movements. However, time series data is inherently continuous and lacks
the discrete token structure that LLMs are designed to process. This misalignment poses a signifi-
cant challenge in effectively utilizing LLMs on time series. To this end, we utilize a reprogramming
mechanism Jin et al. (2024) to reprogram the input financial time series into text prototype repre-
sentations.
This is actually one of the most interesting parts of the Urbit project IMO -- their addressing scheme has 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 address support. The addresses are displayed in memorable terms that fit into an astromoical-styled system.
A /8, an example being "~rel" (one syllable names based out of a bank of 256 memorable 3-letter syllables)-- these are galaxies and are extremely rare (128 galaxies total). Then you have /16 stars which are like "~tabrel", combining two of these syllables -- their are 64,000 stars. And then finally, you have /32 planets like "~sampel-tabrel", which are 4b illion and enough to be valuable and stop spam, but are somewhat disposable kind of like a phone number.
Each one of those planets can spawn billions of /64 moons (sampel-tabrel^dambel-gabnel) which can be used for IoT or family members.This naming scheme draws a good delineation has both human understandable names and memorable addresses you can use for a lifetime -- as well as tremendous scalability to support routing between trillions of addresses.
Created a shell utility in Go, called go-live. The idea is that you start it in a directory, and then those files are immediately hosted on the network.
The core idea is to be as lightweight and performant as possible, and to do one thing only and well - Unix style.
I'm proud to announce the release of an open-source project I've been working on, go-live!
It's a fast, portable Go command line utility that serves a file directory over HTTP. It can be used for local web development, production static-site serving, or as a network file host. By default, go-live serves the directory it is executed in.
It's inspired by JavaScript's famous live-server utility, but way faster and doesn't need Node.js installed. Supports Linux, Windows, and Mac, as well as ARM. It's also 4MB fully compiled, and can be used on an IoT device.
