Some of them do beat the market. They are also producing returns that are more robust to a downturn. So even if they dont match the S&P performance, in a downturn they dont lose as…

This kind of thing sounds great, any suggestions for area of businesses that you would look at starting? Part of the challenge is that the range of things that you could do is mass…

This completely misses the point of my argument.

Selection bias, if you're starting a company at age 43, you are risking your career and monetary stability. The type of person who can afford this is probably already part of an el…

is this by design or it just doesnt matter having bad code?

Good luck getting a good engineer

I would consider myself an amateur neuroscientist, in the sense that I frequently read blogs on the newest publications and findings, have a decent background in pharmacology liter…

The problem with neuroscience is that they know nothing. For instance, it was considered true that neurons in the brain dont change and adapt, and then the concept of nueroplastici…

Scala is useful in big data and ML, apache spark is written in it. It works very well for data transformations

more marketing from fast.ai. Its in every single ML thread

But can they get the huge volumes of data they have tagged out? The real time pipelines and internal tools? The community of people they will be working with?

FB and Google are the only ones pushing the industry forward. The huge amount of data and computing power is what brings these researchers, its not all about money. In the long run…

I love NYC

still more marketing from fast.ai on hacker news

Why is this in the comments section of every AI article?

Yeah its funny, I still read outrage about those greedy "HFT players", as if HFT was still highly relevant. It was a blip in time of the financial markets when no one had high spee…

This used to be true. Small HFT firms can find a niche thats profitable, but thats because there isnt enough money to be made by the big firms in those niches. In the last few year…
