You suspect not, but you'd be wrong :) Those things do require a ticket. We can't install our own equipment, only IT is allowed to do that. Pretty strict about connecting periphera…

Have you read the GPT-3 paper? The authors are pretty forthright about how the GPT techniques likely won't scale much beyond 175B parameters.

How does that work at a large company that's already bureaucratic? Where I work, I still have to open tickets for everything. I still have to wait a long time for new equipment. Ho…

Switzerland. As an American, I wanted to move there after zipping around the country on their buses and trains. That was such a good experience, even the tickrt app brought me joy.…

> I could have done that, but I didn't - because I'm not sufficiently full of shit. It sounds like you're disparaging the art (and in fact the artists for producing it) because you…

That's fair. Do you think I am causing one with this comment?

I appreciate the cogency of your broader point, but please reconsider using the terminology "virtue signaling." When one person accuses another of virtue signaling, even implicitly…

Two Sigma regularly pays people 12 - 24 months to do nothing after they leave in lieu of them taking an offer with anothing trading firm, if they were working in strategy or resear…

What does this comment mean?

Read the SEC documentation on insider trading directly. Barring that, Matt Levine gives accessible (and entertaining) which is informative for a lay audience.

That is because the actual stipulation is for there to be a confidentiality or fiduciary agreement. As shorthand, "illicitly obtained" could therefore be replaced with, "illicitly …

No, material and nonpublic is necessary but insufficient for the trading to be illegal. It must also break a confidentiality agreement, fiduciary duty or specific law pertaining to…

That strikes me as a short tolerance for feeling something is ruined. He appropriately highlighted the real time estimate of the more involved work in a footnote. He didn't literal…

Given: - the context that the author already has a very successful career as a well-known developer - the humility he evidences in most posts on his blog - the fact that he explici…

Dan Luu is not "fresh out of academia."

The study hasn't been published, so what's the story doing here? Tell me when I can read an actual paper.

These are the requirements for an existing employee to move to full-time remote, according to the all-hands today: 1. Level IC5 or higher (this is what most would call "senior"). 2…

No it isn't, I just like calculus/analysis. I don't work in trading, my job is developing simulations in operations research.

It's probably getting downvoted because it's not actually relevant. I'm not sure why there are so many comments here talking about refusing to interview or "rejecting" recruiter ad…

I was offered significantly more money from a non-FAANG than any of my (three) FAANG offers were willing to give me, with better liquidity. At the end of the day, that's all I care…

Note: The author monetizes this by selling web traffic from the Chrome extension.

Which firms are broadly considered to the top ones?

I’m aware of what the central limit theorem is, but I’m confused as to what you mean here. Do you mind clarifying? It sounds like you’re saying the CLT leads to deanonymization. I …

This is an incorrect interpretation of the report. Or at least, the way it's stated is misleading. We have not "gotten rid of" 60% of wildlife on Earth. What has actually happened …

To give you an answer focused on the crypto itself, because the way they explained the TLS properties doesn't make this clear: 1. Integrity is redundant with authentication, so rea…
