    Is there a way to Find what video card is installed in my comp?

    I doubt 3 degrees difference would do much. I've got stuff running much hotter without any problems. Did combo fix print out a clean bill of health? You need to be patient and let it run for a while till it is fully done. Also, run it on safe mode AFTER maleware bytes was also run on safe...

    Is there a way to Find what video card is installed in my comp?

    If you think heating is an issue 1) See if you can monitor it for a while in BIOS. If I recall correctly, it updates in real time. While you're at it, check the voltages. There's also a free heat/fan monitoring program called speedfan that looks at this stuff on the desktop (although I don't...

    Is there a way to Find what video card is installed in my comp?

    No questions are dumb. Hard to say exactly without seeing the system. I haven't done too many restores, so I'm not certain how far it rolls back, nor how clean it is (as far as I would hazard a guess, nothing is guaranteed fully clean aside from reformatting the drive). I'm sure you'll get a...

    Is there a way to Find what video card is installed in my comp?

    Try Start/control panel/System/Hardware tab/Device Manager/ and look under the display adapters icon. You could try rollback driver or update driver, assuming it finds the card you have correctly. Freezing certainly sounds like a virus. Get malewarebytes from a USB stick on another...

    FlashCrash Report

    "Looking for the cause of the xFlash Crash using one-minute snapshot data is like trying to find the Higgs boson with a 10x microscope." They reserve the atomic force and quantum tunneling microscopes for retail trader violation forensics (that and currency counterfeiting).:D

    My Computer Expoded - Have $2k budget for new computer

    I would say the sound of a 'pop' is most definitely associated with a capacitor(s). The good thing about caps is that you can open up the unit and inspect for black charred burn marks where the pops took place. And usually, the larger the pop, the larger the cap. They are typically, blue or...

    172 mil in taxes-ouch

    It is a very ridiculous policy to only report sales to IRS, when they often have all the information available to send net gains. How much easier would it be for them to simply calculate FIFO, sale_price*(nshares_sold) -purchase_price*(nshares_purchased), along with any of the peripheral calcs...

    Economics of A startup Company Looking For Money.

    Just to reiterate, the title is "Extraordinary Measures," with Harrison Ford. http://www.amazon.com/Extraordinary-Measures-Harrison-Ford/dp/B002ZG97J2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1279173232&sr=8-1 Having been through several startups, it brings back strong memories of the entire process...

    Economics of A startup Company Looking For Money.

    Not really an expert in that area, most of my experience has been in VCs offering to take a certain amount of ownership of the company in terms of options equity in exchange for funding. As time drags on and the money runs thin, often secondary infusions are needed which dilute the existing...

    Economics of A startup Company Looking For Money.

    One of the better movies I've seen in recent years that truly captures much of the startup process is Extraordinary Measures. If you want to get an idea of what the entire process from inception to pitching to VCs is like, I suggest taking a look at this film. Again, very close to capturing...

    What are common methods for pre-processing indicators for machine learning algos?

    You can talk as much about software as you like, that's what we are all here for, to exchange ideas. It's just that when you disparage something, and simultaneously promote it elsewhere, it seems a bit odd to me. Just wanted to make sure you understood what ML was, before disparaging it. I see...

    What are common methods for pre-processing indicators for machine learning algos?

    Maybe, but James Simons, who ran Renaissance Technologies, which was mentioned in the same post, did pretty well also. Ok, Ok, I slipped on that one, but I"m sure you understood my message; I'm up in Tahoe at the moment, and shouldn't even be on the internet much. :)

    What are common methods for pre-processing indicators for machine learning algos?

    And I believe Reneissance, ed thorp, and several other successful appliers of ML have also been around for some time. While the term may be 'in vogue' at the moment, that does not diminish the underlying methods from making one successful. The way I see it, it adds a heck of a lot more...

    What are common methods for pre-processing indicators for machine learning algos?

    So by your argument, anyone who ever stumbled upon statistical arbitrage should have abandoned it immediately since it could not provide an edge of any sort. Ok. Before you argue that the relationship has nothing to do with machine learning, on the contrary such a relationship could be...

    What are common methods for pre-processing indicators for machine learning algos?

    Depending on what type of learner you plan to use, it's often common to normalize the values so as not to over-saturate the learner. I find VIX is a good input for various learners. Some examples are shown here with a J48 classifier...

    So how come they allow this front run bs?

    I hope you realize the onion is a political parody. Before you feel less intelligent, I'll admit I read it the first time in a restaurant regarding a mayonnaise epidemic and actually bought into it for a few minutes. I was more shocked that they distributed the newsprint masquerading as a...

    Random Trading

    Right, I should have also clarified... the longer the length of the sample window, the more likely the bias will be up. If you are somehow sampling from a smaller time frame it should reflect the bias of the prevailing trend in that window. If you have access to statistical tools (R is free...
