The Algorithm Behind Jim Simons's Success

Jim Simons, the legendary quant and founder of hedge fund Renaissance
Technologies, passed away this past week. “In every field, there’s
only one person whose competitive advantage is 'I’m smarter than
everyone else,” Morgan Housel once mused. “In finance, for the
last 20 or 30 years, that person has been James Simons.”

Unless you’re a quant, the valuable lessons are about how Simons did
what he did (and why), not what he did specifically. While a book
containing Renaissance’s secretive algorithms would be an instant
bestseller, its value would vanish almost immediately as a horde of
competitors exploit the same inefficiencies.

People have a pretty intuitive sense of what is healthy – standing
is better than sitting, exercise is great for overall health, and
getting good sleep is imperative.

However, if exercise in the evening may disrupt our sleep or make us
feel the need to be more sedentary to recover, a key question emerges
– what is the best way to balance our 24 hours to optimize our
health?

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=5463&nl=daily]
My thesis here is that an obsession with easy, “intuitive” and
perhaps even efficient user interfaces is creating a layer of soft
tyranny. This layer is not unlike what I might create were I a
dictator, seeking to soften up the public prior to an immense abuse of
liberty in the future, by getting them so used to comical restrictions
on their use of things that such bullying becomes normalized.

A note of clarification: I am not a trained user interface designer. I
am just a user with opinions. I don’t write the following from the
perspective of someone who thinks that they could do better; my
father, a talented programmer, taught me early on that everyone thinks
that they could build a good user interface, but very few actually
have the talent and the attitude to do so.

Are Fish Oil Supplements Too Good To Be True? Here's What a New Study

A recent cohort study looked at the long-term effects of regular use
of the supplements and its association with cardiovascular disease.

Fish oil supplements are a daily staple for millions of Americans,
with the US market for them currently worth billions of dollars. These
products are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which the body needs for
muscle activity and cell growth. Some research has also suggested
these dietary supplements could prevent cardiovascular disease. But a
recent cohort study looked at the long-term effects of regular use of
the supplements and its association with cardiovascular disease. The
results suggest it could increase the risk of first time heart
disease, at least among those who have good heart health.

Some people have seasonal allergies so bad they wouldn’t wish them
on their worst enemy. So it might be devastating to learn that our
sweet pets can get seasonal allergies, too. But they don’t get itchy
eyes and a runny nose.

Indeed, dogs can have overactive immune systems that flare up at
certain times of year. These symptoms can be hard to distinguish from
everyday behaviors because it mostly involves scratching, but just in
the same way you can distinguish allergy symptoms from a cold in
humans, you can do the same in dogs to help them get some relief.

Parenting makes the heart grow fonder, and the brain grow … smaller?
Several studies have revealed that the brain loses volume across the
transition to parenthood. But researchers like me are still figuring
out what these changes mean for parents.

In a new study that looked at brain change in first-time fathers, my
colleagues and I found that brain volume loss was linked with more
engagement in parenting but also more sleep problems and mental health
symptoms. These results might point to a cost of caregiving,
traditionally shouldered by women but increasingly borne by men also.

A ghost is haunting our universe. This has been known in astronomy and

despite decades of searching, scientists have come up short. Now, our

The world is about to end. At least, that’s what four disparate
strangers who come together after experiencing a series of shared
visions say. They believe the apocalypse can be stopped, but it will
require a sacrifice, and that sacrifice must come from a certain
family.

While based on a Paul G. Tremblay novel, Knock at the Cabin is, in
every way, a typical M. Night Shyamalan horror. It’s unnerving, full
of striking performances (particularly by Dave Bautista), earnest and
a bit cheesy, and messy as hell. It’s a glimpse into the ultimate
nightmare scenario, but also a tender ode to family. It would crush a
Shyamalan bingo card.

Ottawa’s recent rejection of the City of Toronto’s request to
decriminalize possession of controlled drugs is the latest shoe to
drop in the resurgence of conservative anti-drug sentiment sweeping
the country, and backtracking on reforms achieved in other
jurisdictions.

The announcement, citing concern for public safety, follows much the
same script as that of the British Columbia government, which —
after decriminalizing in 2023 — recently retreated to ban use in
public places due to complaints of rampant drug use and continuing
high rates of overdose.

— high food prices are a major threat to food security for many
Canadians. Understanding why food prices are so high and why they are
changing is critical to the well-being of our society.

Unfortunately, consensus on why food price are so high is in short
supply. Explanations given in reports like Canada’s Food Price
Report and the news media range widely, from the war in Ukraine to
supply chain issues to the carbon tax.

The government of British Columbia recently introduced a bill to ban

prohibit those found not criminally responsible due to mental disorder
from changing their name.

The government announced the move after media reports that Allan
Schoenborn legally changed his name to Ken Johnson. Schoenborn was
found not criminally responsible for the deaths of his children in
2010 because of a delusional disorder, and was placed at a psychiatric

Electoral gender quotas in Uganda – first introduced in 1989 –
have increased women’s numbers in Uganda’s parliament to 34%.
Today there are 189 women out of 557 members of parliament.

But women politicians in Uganda continue to be restricted to minority
representation. They are constantly battling stereotypes that seek to
maintain the status quo of male dominance in political spaces. The
electorate has additionally grown accustomed to believing that since
women have seats reserved for them, they should stay out of the race
for open seats.

73 Years Ago, J.R.R. Tolkien Changed Gollum Canon Forever -- It's

In 2026, the story of the Hobbit formerly known as Sméagol will get
twistier and stranger than ever before. Shocking fans of Middle-earth,
it's been revealed that Peter Jackson and Andy Serkis are working on a
new Lord of the Rings motion picture called The Hunt for Gollum. But
what is this movie actually about? Who is hunting for Gollum and why?
And more importantly, will The Hunt for Gollum end up retconning both
The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings? Well, even if it does, here’s
the thing: Gollum basically lives to be retconned.

For a week since the announcement, Tolkien-heads have already spent
several second breakfasts pondering questions about the movie. And
with details scarce, it’s hard to come up with convincing answers.
Back in 2009, a fan film with the exact same title followed Strider as
he tried to locate Gollum, prior to meeting Frodo in The Fellowship of
the Ring. The new film is almost certainly not a big-screen remake of
that story, but, then again, it has to be a prequel to The Lord of the
Rings trilogy because Gollum is very much alive. (Unless the movie is
about the hunt for Gollum’s ghost, which seems unlikely, but vaguely
possible? Middle-earth Ghostbusters?)

Kaltenegger and her colleagues study how different species and
combinations of bacteria, plants, and fungi change the chemistry of
the air around them. They then program all of that data into computer
simulations that model how the whole atmosphere of a planet changes as
life evolves. She then translates those model atmospheres into the
spectrum of light astronomers might see through a telescope like the
James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

It was the kind of task any competent seamstress has completed
hundreds of times before: altering denim jeans and jerseys. But there
was something different about this piece of work. Though our team of
scientists were paying for it, we weren’t her ultimate customers –
the clothes were to be worn by dead pigs.

We found, overall, that winter-season clothing delayed decomposition.
Summer-season clothing accelerated the process. Carcass weight loss
was directly affected by the scavenging of the Cape grey mongoose
(Galerella pulverulenta), which accelerated the decomposition rate.
And single carcasses within the same habitat decomposed faster than
when two or more carcasses are dumped together.
