Copernicus was labelled a heretic for saying the Earth revolved around the sun.

But science proved him right.

Science seems to make people uncomfortable because it lifts the delusion that humans are way further from animals than we actually are. Humans are formed in the image of GOD! And the universe revolves around us!

Not only does science show that the solar system does not revolve around humans, but also shows that men and women have primitive instincts on the dating market to maximize their genetic success...just like animals.

Polygyny, or the harem strategy, is the most successful mating strategy throughout all the mammalian class. One strong male with a group of females. And this pattern is seen repeated throughout many species of mammals.

The harsh truth is that as a male mammal, this is the framework you have to work in. Not being blessed with family resources, or natural good looks, or natural talent, or the ability to make a a baby, makes one disposable by default and having to fight for reproductive success.

There's exceptions to the rule but statistically it seems to be sound.

I don't know why people deny this. They simply have to compare the average guys Tinder to the average girls Tinder to see this mating selection in action. Women and movie stars can literally get casual sex at the push of a button.

People like to delude themselves that theyre better people than they really are I guess. Then they cheat on their spouse with a swimsuit model or a lawyer.
People don't like TurboTax becauseof their advertising and lobbying tactics. They target income levels that can file for free online and spend money 'lobbying' the government to allow the practice to continue. That being said, I use Turbo Tax and love it. The clean UI made filing take 90 minutes despite having several property and other transactions this year.
Point of information: that's a point of information.
Not a problem, you enter dependents into the wizard, and take them out when/if they move out.

No matter the situation, they accept your word for it. If an audit occurs you will have to prove things with documentation and be held liable for mistakes or fraud.

It's basically a five-minute task that you appear to believe should make tax filing take hours?

I did taxes once in NZ, you go to a website where they have all the data ready. Then you go next, next, finish, adding a deduction or dependent here and there. Takes 15-30 mins.

Awesome glad you like the animations. I have made a note of your feedback; I will strip the page animations out of the nested pages. I still want to add a little something with animation and our branding to give the pages a unique feel, but something small and subtle.
With all these big institutions around maybe some of them will get together and push for namespaces in crates.io?

It would be great if e.g. everything under "amazon/" could be trusted to be an official Amazon crate so you don't have to vet every dependency from every tutorial, and this seems like a common need for Amazon, Google and Microsoft.

See e.g. kibwen's comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24445788 "The problem is that crates.io is a free, volunteer-run project with zero full-time employees who could be tasked with the drudgery of intervening in naming disputes or managing an identity layer. [...] Solve the funding issue first, and then you can start solving the rest."
This applies to trading perfectly as well. It's rare that the true math studs are the rainmakers (though it does happen), and instead the street smart players who just try to reasonable end up dominating. By "street smart", I don't mean people who don't do math though, I'm just talking about people who aren't math olympiads or don't have PhDs in theoretical mathematical fields.

80% models take 20% of the work and are usually more robust during market dislocations and highly resistant to noise and uncertainty compared to very mathematical approaches.

Really good point about verifying a model as well. Once your model is complex enough, it becomes highly probably that much of the model is actually hurting you, but you will have an incredibly hard time determining which part is hurting you. With a simple model, things become a lot easier and as such, the chance of success becomes much higher.

Many people have this misconception that sophisticated players like Citadel or Jane Street are using these complex non-linear models to generate profit. This couldn't be further from the truth: linear models dominate the space at the moment and are the most valuable tool you have.

Of course, linear regression isn't going to do a good job at identifying cat pictures or translating text, but that's because those tasks have relatively high signal to noise ratios. The cleaner the data, the less random the data, the better complex models perform. On the other hand with any kind of financial data, the signal is incredibly weak and a complex non-linear model will most likely get confused by the random patterns in the data.
There are whole books writen about mathematical objects that turned out to not have existed.

Non-computable reals are also perfectly capable of modeling "analog reality" (because for all intents and purposes, reality could be discrete and finitely describable very small scales).
this just happens from time to time, it's part of mass psychology for whatever reason. people just have a moral intuition that short selling is bad.

Read about Clarence Saunders and the Great Piggly-Wiggly Corner of 1923. Similar story, populist Main Street guy going up against the short sellers. Except in the 1920s.
Hrm, so that makes Robinhood's situation even more impossible then. There's nothing they could've done to continue to allow people to buy $GME absent coming up with billions of dollars for a few days' worth of deposits.
Ohh, this should be good. Anti-vaxx is essentially a conspiracy theory(about either bill gates, or a cabal of disease-causing doctors), and Colorado has one of the highest rates of anti-vaxxers in the nation.
I generally feel that the Alamo Drafthouse experience is actually pretty terrible for movies other than big action or comedy blockbusters. I don't see how a place that serves popcorn in a giant metal bowl takes quietness seriously. And although they advertise it, they really don't police talking or distractions anymore or even equivalently as other theaters.
Urban human cultures are another story however, because of the near-ubiquitous practice of slavery for most of urban human history.

Proof of Stake requires that what you are staking has value. The future I'm looking forward to is POS taking over by leveraging the existing Proof of Work already invested in Bitcoin and Ethereum. So, Bitcoin will slowly go away by being burned to transmute it into the foundational value of new POS coins. During that process, the total supply of unburned coins will decrease. Eventually the market cap will decrease. Less POW mining will be necessary. And, eventually it will drop off to effectively zero.

Why mix concepts of Linear Algebra/Physics with basic Arithmetics for no good reason?

The multiplication, that is just repeated addition, is very possible in dimensional analysis and is called scalar multiplication:

The outright worst part is this weird complication:

2 baskets × 3 apples per basket = 6 apples

of 2 x 3 apples = 6 apples.

Just why? This is just a scalar operation.

Staying in strictly mathematical concepts, the operation described in OP are closer to the cross product of orthogonal vectors, then multiplication in my opinion.

[4 0 0] × [0 3 0] = [0 0 12]

Is it that groups of people are inherently stupid, or is there some facet of corporations that makes them in particular stupid?
There's a Stage 2 proposal before TC-39 to add immutable Record and Tuple types [1] which would be structurally compared and perfect for complex Map keys.

It's also easy enough to find or write quick simple Map wrappers that use a hash function on an object as keys when provided (either piggy-backing on the existing Object.prototype.valueOf, which always exists on every object and easily falls back to the reference-based current behavior, and expecting classes to have custom overrides for that, or using a Symbol named function of their own to avoid polluting own-property-keys/name clashes with other libraries).

The ecosystem the bison were a part of sequestered carbon. They moved over a huge area and grazed just enough for the soil to store carbon. Intensive farming depletes the soil, actually releasing co2 into the air. I don't know why most people replying to you have failed to point this out. Game meat is generally CO2e neutral.

You can of course still find cow meat that comes from farming that sequester enough co2 to mitigate or offset the emissions, but that kind of production would not sustain current consumption levels.

In my home country, very few areas are suitable for intensive grazing from a sequesterin POW. Only about 10% of the current land used for grazing animals sequester any meaningful amount of CO2.

The employer tax withholding does not account for any other source of income you may have (sell stocks, rental income, make money on Twitch/Youtube/ebay/etc, withdrawal from tax free investment, interest, etc) so you may need to pay more taxes than they withheld and at the same time it doesn't account for all the possible deductions you may have that year so it may withhold more than you need to pay (usually that's the "desired" case).

So at the end of each year you need to go through all the income sources of that year, subtract all deductions and compute how much actual tax you own. And pay or receive the difference to/from IRS.

Even if you have an extremely simple income situation (only one wage, no other income), depending on the state you live in you may still qualify for deductions that the employer is not aware of so it can be in your advantage to do the taxes.
Without the distributive property you have two magmas in general for the same set that don't see each other. I'm not sure what your point is. When you have two binary operations you need some sort of distributive property to build a structure.

All this is trivial, if you consider a ring, you get a·0=0 as a property, if your starting point is the Peano axioms for the arithmetic of natural numbers that's one of them, for the latter seeing it as "repeated addition" makes no sense, for the former, well you have a ring, you have two binary operations, not one, and of course you have some form of distributive property or else you'd be studying this set with just one binary operation at a time.

I'd like to see how "repeated addition" works in polynomial rings.
> This is why we want large key spaces,

This is a subset of what I'm talking about. Encryption/decryption times aren't linear with key space sizes. Force the number of required parallel instances to exceed the number of atoms on Earth, and bruit force time rapidly diverges from being linear with encryption/decryption time.
I'd also expect that this would provide some leverage in renegotiating expensive leases, particularly given the hit commercial real estate has taken during the pandemic. I'd bet many landlords are willing to take a lower paying tenant already in a space, vs trying to fill that space in a low demand market.

I'm sorry, but what are you talking about? Everything you say is a denial of reality.

> Nobody would expect anyone to behave that way. Hedge funds have clients and need to reassure them that they aren't going to lose all their money. Any rational investor knows that Melvin could be opening up new short positions after GME had skyrocketed.

I don't care what people expected. I'm telling you what happened. And Melvin lost money. Obviously some hedge funds made money too, but you are specifically defending Melvin's position wrt GME.

> Hedge funds may not be smart enough be beat the market, but they're certainly smarter than a group of people who learned what a "short" is, after the squeeze.

This is why hedge funds lost money in the first place. Your denial is the fuel that continues to make /r/wsb successful, so honestly I find it refreshing. You want to believe you/they are smarter. That's it. You have no data to back up your claim. If you were right, GME would never have popped a second time and it would be trading for less than 1/10 its current price. You can call it irrational all you want, this opportunity is making people money that reject your thesis.

I'll continue to bet my money on my thesis and so far I have been ridiculously successful (far more than I was making at FAANG). I've already pocketed enough to retire so I'm not concerned about volatility. I encourage you to invest your money however you see fit. I'll do the same. So far it's working great for me.
My firm is all-in Microsoft and I have to say it's not working. Power BI licenses are limited, Azure cloud cost are through the roof, anything you'd have run on a

As a non-developer but technically inclined person I've tried to find courses in non-obvious MS-software but couldn't find anything worthwhile. The pushback I receive for suggesting R or Python for modellong, stitching and automation is intense even though all juniors learn these tools in university. Microsoft lock-in is just crippling.
With apologies to Sinclair: it is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his dinner plate depends on his not understanding it.

Not an expert in this. In some fundamental way, icons have a specific function. To convey action, or status, etc in a small compact graphical form. Semiologically, photoshop tools palette icons and app icons are functionally the same. They are both used to perform an action whether that’s to select a tool or launch an app.

Edit: one key thing I forgot about iconography - familiarity. The floppy disk icon is ubiquitously understood for historic reasons.

ohduran probably means that there is no a priori logical reason for the two to go together. In theory they could be separated. However, it is far too enticing of a profit opportunity to use aggregated data if one has it en masse to sell personalized data.

I happen to disagree; almost any for-profit business is going to be doing some sort of aggregated usage data. I mean at the most basic level they've got to be tracking the number of customers they have. That doesn't mean all for-profit businesses ultimately devolve into data selling businesses.

Although perhaps ohduran is advancing a more nuanced argument. In particular perhaps the more detailed usage data you track, the more likely the siren call of selling that data is to be attractive. In order to compete with Google on search quality, perhaps you do need sufficiently detailed usage data that the call becomes irresistible.

I'm still not convinced that's true, but I could see how it plays out.
1. Claus-Peter Schnorr, a well-established and reputable cryptographer, publishes a paper and claims he found a new algorithm for integer factorization, which is faster than the best known algorithm today (Number Field Sieve).

2. If it's all the paper says, it probably won't attract that much attention, at best it leads to a new wave of RSA keysize upgrade (or transition to ECC). But today, this paper appeared on the Cryptology ePrint Archive, and its abstract reads "This destroys the RSA cryptosystem", the use of strong language is extraordinary, a reader may interpret it as "the speedup is significant and all RSA keys can be broken." Researchers usually don't make such claims.

3. Meanwhile, it's also very suspicious for two reasons. First, this claim didn't appear in the actual paper, only the ePrint Archive web page, and it also includes an embarrassing typo. Also, the submitted paper wasn't even the latest version, which is available at Schnorr's web page, but an old version from 2019. Many people suspected that the paper was submitted by someone else, who happened to see an earlier version on the web and got too excited about it, and added the "destroys RSA" claim.

4. But now, personal communication with Schnorr confirmed the paper was indeed submitted by him, and he indeed makes the "destroys RSA" claim. Schnorr also said he uploaded the wrong file.

5. About 10 minutes ago, an updated preprint was published, that includes the sentence, "This destroys the RSA cryptosystem".
About 10 minutes ago an updated preprint was published with a much more succinct and understandable abstract, that includes the sentence, "This destroys the RSA cryptosystem".

Bill Gates thinks he's saving the world - presumably his ego and idea of a personal legacy are wrapped up in this.
In that case, let’s look at the differences. In the case of ML researchers, careers are built on publications. I imagine a hacker who discovers a big vulnerability in their employer probably would be burning bridges if they published the vulnerability before the employer could fix it. In AI ethics, or at least the most notorious recent case, it seemed like publishing was the primary function and change was secondary.

Then there’s the ease of changing things. In security, I’d imagine fixing a vulnerability might require lots of work, but rarely novel research. In ML that’s not the case. and after all that research, the finding might be a way to improve the worst cases by worsening the average cases, lowering revenue. And then there’s the clarity of what even is an issue. If someone shouldn’t be able to access a file, but they can, it’s clear. The goal then is convincing stakeholders that the problem should be prioritized. In AI ethics, you have to convince them that the problem even is a problem, convince them to allocate research, then convince them that the technique is worth lowering revenue for, and only then get to the question of allocating resources to implement the fix. Convincing stakeholders to prioritize fixes is a wholly different game.

I like your analogy, and there are surely lessons to be learned (e.g. maybe the ethics researchers’ primary job shouldn’t be publishing papers), but the differences are strong enough that the lessons might not extend too far.
