Optimal bet size is 2x the coin bias. Dérivation here: https://www.edwardothorp.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/TheK...

I should add something about this, but if a market looks like a drunken bar fight, I'd probably not want to go there. That said: A good market will become crowded quickly in either…

Good point, will add that. Thanks!

Yeah. Also - I use the term "coach" broadly here. Many people react very poorly to the term "therapist", and "coach" is a much broader term encompassing both therapy or just people…

I don't think you need 8 years to build a product people like, Prodfiler got good resonance and we built it in ~18 months, it would probably take 4 months now...

Yes. Usually, the VCs will want you to not take an extravagant salary, but a solid family with which you can keep your family comfortable. And that's normally the right bar. And if…

You don't have a product until there's ~3 customers, with perspective to more. Before that you're essentially a consultant. I'll add that to the next version of the doc, too. The p…

I will add a section. Pay yourself a salary at the very latest the moment you've raised funding. If a VC objects to you doing that, get a different VC. You're in for the long run, …

Definitely - but those are normally called "development partners" in B2B, right?

Good question. I think I did it to indicate that we sold to public companies.

Author here. I'd be curious what went wrong in your case? (Also, happy to soften that advice further if there's strong evidence that people find the advice detrimental).

The readme says that unless you're using vLLM you're largely out of luck with it?

That's a clever and intriguing idea. I have to think through the security implications a bit though - I don't actually know much about how git operates with regards to hooks etc. I…

The old warez cracking scene had an outsize impact on computer security. GRSecurity, Heartbleed vulnerability, most reverse engineering tools for security, etc. etc. etc. There's s…

The privatization of the train system in Germany was a particularly insane disaster that is only now, 30 years later, being undone/repaired. If you look at an org chart of the DB t…

There's been an ongoing issue with North Korean state agents infiltrating SV companies, and this proposal helps them pass the interview process more easily. There's multipronged be…

Xoogler here (2011-2018). It's heartwarming that a core part of Google culture ("for every problem we have 3 solutions: 2 that are deprecated and 1 that is experimental") is alive …

I only remember 2015 TF and I was wondering: why would I use Python to assemble a computational graph when what I really want is to write code and then differentiate through it?

So there's a long intellectual history behind these technologies, and Intel had multiple chances of taking the leadership on this around 2018 - they failed to do so, some of the ta…

I don't know tbh, and I gave that talk when I was in terrible shape, so I'm not upset ;). If people care a lot, I can record a YouTube video on the topic.

With all the negative comments here: This is existing technology on ARM64 (MTE) and on modern iPhones ( https://security.apple.com/blog/memory-integrity-enforcement... ). For a goo…
