Dumb people aren't going to be doing the work of the smart people ever, no matter how tech evolves. The actual implication of AI being on the level of sentient beings instead of hy…

Why don't they just pass the time into the RNG in order to randomize it instead of using fixed seeds?

Yes, this is what I mean. It's not that talent doesn't exist, but it's never the case that people on the top of their domain work less hard than others. In fact, it's the opposite.…

> Probably one of the most ego-crushing realizations (if you're a nerd) is to discover that there are people out there MUCH more talented and higher performing than what you'll eve…

I made this replay simulator desktop app as a part of the Building The Trading Edge playlist on Youtube. It's my first commercial product. I needed a replay simulator that could do…

The job market is somewhat of a crapshot. A dice roll if you will. I got rejected from all kinds of place before I got a highly paid one from a Reddit post of all places. I got rej…

> My impression is that LLM users are the kind of people that HATED that their questions on StackOverflow got closed because it was duplicated. Lol, who doesn't hate that?

One takeaway from the book is that trend following strategies are really difficult to follow. Jesse Livermore had a 3 yearlong losing streak from 2011 - 2014 despite him following …

Can't find it either.

The strengths and weaknesses of the algorithmic niche that artificial NNs are in hasn't changed a bit since a decade ago. They are still bad at anything I'd want to actually use th…

To me, the current LLMs aren't qualitatively different from the char RNNs that Karpathy showcased all the way back in 2015. They've gotten a lot more useful, but that is about it. …

I've thought about adding record row polymorphism to Spiral, but I am not familiar with it and couldn't figure out how to make it work well in the presence of generics.

What's a Net/60 basis? I am having trouble understanding how often you were paid. Every month or so? Edit: Nwm, I saw you worked for 90 days without pay. Ack.

Yes.

NNs for example are (mostly) a sequence of matrix multiplication operations, and GPUs are very good at those. Much better than CPUs. AI is hot at the moment, and Nvidia is producin…

Never tried those, so I couldn't say. I guess it would. Even so, creating all the abstractions needed to implement even regular matrix multiplication in Spiral in a generic fashion…

For a deep dive, maybe take a look at the Spiral matrix multiplication playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL04PGV4cTuIWT_NXvvZsn... I spent 2 months implementing a mat…

> Groq sells their dev kit for $20k even though a single LPU is useless. I find this a very questionable business decision.
