While you may know the guy better, notice this Druck comment comes at a time when the long term buy-and-hold thinking is at its weakest point. A slightly respectable guru saying th…

This is the best comment in all. HN folks don't understand the purpose of this article. You think Druckenmiller is so bearish? for the next 30 yrs? Not a chance. He must have a hug…

I heard this so many times. These goddamn CEOs are so myopic; all they care is next quarter's earnings. After the fall of every megacap, tech or otherwise (recently GE), someone al…

Bravo!

To rephrase the famous quote attributed to G. Box, `All languages are wrong, some are useful.` And R is one of them.

Bravo! This is exactly right.

I went to this really nice talk by Ghahramani on Bayesian Nonparametrics at 2011 NIPS. Worth seeing polya urn model in action. http://mlg.eng.cam.ac.uk/zoubin/

I used to cringe whenever I see a prompt to upgrade driver. But it's getting better. Version 460.39 hasn't caused any pain so far.

When a product originates from China, it must be full of spyware. Let's don't even question whether that's true or even reasonable. Then imagine one day, China's scientists invente…

Title is totally misleading. I use Rstudio, which is an IDE, and there's none of those "terrible" features in Copilet. Does it make my code terrible?

I wonder if the site is down because of the interest from folks on HN?!

I'm stunned why this comment is downvoted. It's exactly what's happening in US relationship with China.

The view expressed in this blog and many of the comments on HN is a prime example of survivorship bias[1]. In 1921, you did not know DJI would have done so well over the next 100 y…

there are at least three books on this period, Lefevre, E. (2004). Reminiscences of a stock operator (Vol. 175). John Wiley & Sons. Kramer, C. (2000). " Devil Take the Hindmost: A …

WSJ has a link to its digital archive, which only goes back to May 1996. And unfortunately it doesn't have API so getting articles out of site for NLP is a pain. Let me know if you…

I just bought two yubikeys; a month later, I returned both. Here is a (major) problem. On a ubuntu box, I installed `libpam-u2f` and set it up for one user account. Turns out it br…

I just realized Vitalik never finished college. That's even more impressive for what he's done.

See my link to his ICML talk above.

See my link to his 2013 ICML talk above. There's a very nice photo of L'Avion III de Clement Ader, a plane modeled as a bird.

I found the source. He and Ranzato gave a talk at ICML 2013 https://cilvr.nyu.edu/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=deeplearning:2... Slide #9 Let's be inspired by nature, but not too much I…

The better/faster part is my embellishment :) See my link to his ICML 2013 presentation above.

While Hinton's view need to be noted, I heard a quote attributed to Yann LeCun, something like, "If you want to learn flying by modeling the biology of birds, you're doing it wrong…

....and they are Chinese!

What you said about daily data is precisely what makes stock mkt so interesting and challenging : nonstationarity. "outliers and events outside of the data, news" : these are preci…

Ther are plenty of free datasets out there. You can get upward of 10 yrs of daily OHLC stock data on yahoo finance. The amazing thing is yf has S&P 500 index since 1927. Free! Quan…
