I don’t think Nasdaq is free float based. Also, I would be a lot more pessimistic of the index tracking fund managers’ ability or willingness to find extra shares: their goal is to…

Do you have an example of an algorithm that learns, rather than is trained/trains itself? I don’t really see the boundary between the two concepts.

I think people were asking you to explain what kind of strategies people run at sharpe 4

One thing is fiduciary duty to the shareholders, another is “pleasing the shareholders” as you describe it. Pleasing the shareholders is necessary only when displeasing them means …

If a friend doesn’t give you 4% of their net worth, how can you be certain you are one of their 25 closest friends?

I believe theirs was to deliver internet

I may be wrong, but I believe spending time in a deeper gravitational well means you observe everything outside of the well to be happening much faster; at the singularity, the ent…

Right--in log scale, the gap has stayed roughly the same until around 1980.

How much do we know about military AI’s capabilities? As in, is there any evidence that the government/military was ahead of big tech on the AI research front?

Presumably, the energy output from a fusion plant (if we ever get there) should be self-sustaining. For starting up, I’m guessing the plant can draw power from the grid itself, no?…

To divert an asteroid, you’d attempt to ablate a part of it, rather than just rely on its reflectivity: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid_laser_ablation I imagine that track…

So his one eye goes through his face and you see it from both sides. Wonderful

And just a clarification that some (many) ETFs also distribute dividends on a quarterly basis as they accrue them from their holdings, so technically you want to be looking at the …

Being willing to use them is not the same as being willing to use them first.

I don’t even think this is satire. This feels like the kind of made up stories that children come up with (and place themselves at the center of).

I think you’re looking at a geekbench 4 score, vs v5 in the post. It seems that this machine performs significantly better than an XPS 15.

Edit (sorry, I don't think I can edit my own comment at this point): I think I was missing the point. Storing user data for 3 years after verification seems unnecessary for the use…

I never wanted Equifax to have any of my data, and yet here we are. After the breach, I wouldn’t ever be a paying customer to them if I had a choice. (Indirectly, I am still a “cus…

This is cool, in a somewhat masochistic sense. Some of us do this kind of mental math all day long. But here’s a proposal on how to extend this. Background/motivation: Many people …

Every night at midnight, I have a script that sends me a blank email with a smiley face as subject. It’s a nice way to very quickly distinguish emails from today, yesterday etc. an…

It seems that the commenters in this thread have at least two views on what you call “changing the rules.” The fact of the matter is, no one guarantees you 100% uptime access to th…

Do you have evidence that Citadel is RH’s prime brokerage? Being an executing broker or a trading counterparty or paying for order flow has nothing to do with being a prime brokera…

I’m not a fan of Robinhood, but everything that vkou has been saying is true. My understanding is that Robinhood is self-clearing, not that Citadel is its prime brokerage. The clea…

At 1:51 of this video, you can see them fitting it to what looks like a giant heatsink, to be plugged into some very large pipes: https://youtu.be/qSqAxEXtZY0?t=111

Out of curiosity, does anyone know of an actual company that's bought and uses one of these chips (say, the CS-1)? What's the use case? They mention "low latency datacenter inferen…
