Super lame that people upvoted this story. Way off topic for HN.

What would your strategy be to get that 5%?
7.
by jmillerinc 16y ago
That's different. The security is: if a programmer implements the code correctly, but the market turns against the strategy and the strategy loses money, the programmer generally won't lose his job.

"Prove the algorithm correct" - gosh, if only that were true.

Of course, but the traders are taking risks in the sense that they can get fired for losing money. Programmers generally won't. They have a lower-risk, more secure job.

I have a feeling this article confused the creators of the trading algorithms, which is what makes the money, with pure programmers, who are hired to implement someone else's pre-existing algorithms. Sometimes these are the same person, but

Gosh, I had to upvote this just for the crustacean research citation alone.

I just made a bunch of regular expressions that capture phrases like " http://twitter.com/foobar or "I'm @foobar on twitter", etc.

Agreed, but I don't think there's much to worry about as it stands. PG said newsyc currently gets 60,000 unique visitors per day, and the # of ppl following these twitter feeds is barely 1% of that.

I question whether SVD would yield good recommendations. In any case, co-voting data is not scrape-able from the public HN site, so I think using keywords and urls is really the only realistic filtering option at this point.

You can implement what you want with simple keyword & url filtering.

The Readability parse is a good idea, but implementing that would need more time than I can spare right now. If anyone wants to do the legwork on that, please contact me and I'll be happy to put it in the feed.
