At a 3 minute shot, I’d rather use the same time to do a pour over

You might as well play "who can memorize the most openings and lines"

It can get complicated quickly if you're actually using it in a production system. At my prev enterprise saas company we had feature flags that could be turned on per customer / pe…

this is essentially how bindcraft works for drug discovery: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09429-6 (minus the accumulation step) feedback from af2 folding confidence + …

Fish sauce is delicious but had to stop using it since it's high in histamine (gives me a stuffy nose) and potentially carcinogenic due to its high levels of nitrosamines

industrialized overfitting is basically what ML researchers do

should go a bit earlier with word2vec, NMT, seq2seq, attention, self attention

Outliers were removed to get a better measure of the "accuracy" of the price targets. 10 day windows were used to reduce the amount of volatility/noise in a time frame Return horiz…

I will agree that the methodology is not as rigorous as it could be but where can you prove it is "wrong"? My blogpost shows that stock price predictions also show a terrible track…

I probably should have included the outliers when analyzing overall performance but if I recall correctly they did not have a significant effect. The top analysts were determined b…
