Humanity has a fair history of introducing products that are later shown to have large externalized costs: tetraethyl lead, PVC, etc.

I interpret your point to be that publicly investigating the harm of future products---by the only people who can do so---is a bad idea. What is the alternative? Regulation? (Gasp!)

Perhaps we should start the disinformation campaigns before the products are developed. "If you are arrested on AI-provided evidence, you are guilty. Period."

Exactly. If you're working on a project in Ardour and want to quickly watch a video on YouTube, stopping Jack and starting PulseAudio was a bit of a pain the last time I did that.

Yes, you can configure PulseAudio as a Jack client, but the session handling is also a bit messy. (I used to have a PA -> Jack setup on my work computer just so I could use the Calf equalizer / compressor plugins for listening to music. I dropped it again after a while, because session handling and restoring wasn't always working properly. But that was around 6-7 years ago, maybe it would work better nowadays.)

I tried brave a year ago because I heard good things. I stopped using it within a month. The cryptocurrency and referral stuff told me all I needed to know: their motives are not aligned with the user. If you let your monetization strategy alienate your users then you won’t be getting far. Early adopters need clear messages of trust.

When the messaging is “we’re desperate for money” and I don’t trust you, why would I expect you to value my privacy? I won’t be trying brave again until they at least try to address this.

Very interesting, would likely be useful for general knowledge.

However, when you are learning a very narrow field of study, the app does not create great suggestions. A complicated example, but see the following:

MRI, Melee, Moon, DNA.

Of course, I don't expect it to come up with something amazing for something that GPT-3 or other language models aren't trained on.
The political party is actually legitimate, is in power in Prague (they run the city) and is an indication that he is now acting legally. So yes.
In case anyone is curious, the most aggressive form of regularization is sometimes called L0 regularization or sparse regression. Here, there is a penalty term for every additional parameter used in the model. This allows you to define a cost associated with model complexity (i.e. if an improvement to the fit is not greater than some value, the number of parameters is not increased). Solving for the best set of parameters can be tricky and thus LASSO (or L1 regularization) is often a good substitute.
I've had this problem going back two decades now with a variety of brokerages. The final deadline for all the forms to get out is March 15th, so generally I don't even bother doing taxes until early April.

What's even worse is not what Robinhood is doing, but what other brokerages are doing, which is that they trick you by sending out provisional 1099s in January or February even though the companies/funds whose stock you own aren't finalized yet, you file your taxes, and then you get an amended 1099 in March that requires you to file an amended state and federal tax return at extra hassle and extra cost.

For the 90 day span of January through March I just collect all the tax forms in a drawer, and then in April I get them all out and do taxes. You don't have all the information in before then, not if you trade stocks anyway. If you only have W2 income, then you can file earlier, as the deadline for that is much earlier.
I'd rather we just enact capital gains taxes to lower the overall incentive of financial wizardry to begin with. Force prices of assets back to the value of their dividends. Make it painful to be a growth stock unless your case for valuable future dividends is really compelling.

It's a good point. I'm no expert, so take this with a grain of salt, but assuming that it's just a matter of infrastructure, then Bing wouldn't suck so much. Microsoft has the means, the engineering power and the incentive to crush a direct competitor. And yet, it sucks.

So in practice, the more data you have, the better the engine is. I don't have a theoretical reason for why that is the case, but thing is I don't actually need it.

> Do you mean, this is legal for market makers?

Yes, market makers are allowed to sell short without having a locate.

It should be noted that the market makers will attempt to zero out their total exposure by the end of the trading session.
Prematurely causing companies to go under puts thousands of people out of work. Kind of like how the Fed keeps interest rates low so zombie corporations can keep rolling over the debt --keeping many people employed-- stopping Wall Street from tanking businesses helps middle class people keep their jobs, so the thinking goes.
Where the analogy to a 2D vector starts to diverge is raising something to a complex power. There's no meaning in raising 3 to the [x,y], but Euler clearly defined it for 3^(xi+y).

In San Francisco, there are plenty of people who have the same anecdotes as you, but their story falls apart when you look at the numbers. Yours may as well.
That seems closer to what they did than timing the market, don't you think?

My point was that to "test" if a concentrated stock-picking fund can get that result by luck you don't look at how often the market with such and such return and volatility gets that performance or how often randomly trading the market would you get this performance.

You look at how rare is it that a concentrated portfolio of random stocks has a very good performance. The answer is "not that much".

I understand opposition to hedge funds, but it's not the case that they were all short GameStop. Some were long and made a lot of money by selling into the WSB fervor. Others were not especially interested but must have seen the price grow by 20x and seen a great opportunity to short it.

I have a high school friend who posted that they didn't care if they lost their entire investment, this was about sending a message. I'm not sure what that message was.
This result is still not widely known but a simple equal weighed rule outperforms Markowitz mean variance for most alpha trading strategies i.e. strategies that predict outperformance.

Peter Muller shows this in an original paper in 1993 [1]. Peter Mueller went on to start PDT and make Morgan Stanley billions of dollars in profits.

The same effect can be shown to a limited extent for index portfolios[2] though less scalable because higher cap stocks have more float.

Related is the Kelly Betting criteria - about 50 years old [3] which gives a simple rule for picking and allocating capital to bets.

These 2 ideas - equal weighted portfolios and fractional betting would put a lot of quants out of business.

I believe I underestimated animal intelligence, and as an extension of that, animal consciousness. I have no proof that animals are intelligent or sentient or whatever. I do however have no reason to assume otherwise. As a result I’ve stopped eating meat almost entirely, and I suspect I’ll eliminate it entirely eventually. I still eat fish and shellfish.

I struggle to understand how I disregarded animal minds for decades, but I suspect it can be reduced to arrogance, convenience, and gluttony. It has been a difficult revelation in some ways. Cooking meat has almost been a part of my way of life; it’s something I took pride in and always did to the best of my ability. Now I don’t really have much interest in food at all.

I was talking about matrix/matrix composition (rather than multiplication) at first. Then I talked about matrix application.

A matrix is a function. Not all functions can be represented by matrices (although all smooth functions can be represented by a Taylor series that sums over matrices (and "the sum C=A+B" really means "the function C such that Cx = Ax+Bx for all x in the range of both A and B"))

Over the past year, our team experienced how difficult it was to discover data first hand in our last roles. Data was stored in siloed warehouses, visualized in multiple BI tools and only a few employees knew what data was trustworthy or even what different tables/columns meant.

There was a real appetite for data driven decision making across the company, but there was no good way to share tribal knowledge that had been built up over time, so people's intentions fell short. We realized that other mid sized tech companies were also creating a tremendous amount of data (we had over 500 different tables, visualizations and reports across the company of 25 people), but they didn't have a great way to make all that data accessible. This problem was so frustrating that we decided to leave our roles to solve this problem for other companies.

Secoda's product is an automated and collaborative data discovery platform that breaks down data silos within an organization and makes it easy to find, understand and use data. The product integrates with a company's existing data stack, such as Snowflake, Big Query, Redshift, Mode, Airflow, and builds up a graph of metadata that can be easily searched by employees in the organization.

We are building collaborative documentation tools such as discussions, tagging, and Slack integrations to make it simple to build up a knowledge base around company data.

In the central bank cantiollionaire system, there are three classes of citizens:

2) the ~60% of citizens with assets (e.g. stonks, real estate) that get pumped along with the money printer
3) everyone else

What do you think happens to "third class" citizens?

The rules are NOT the same for everyone under the central banking system.

No brokerage is under any obligation to use their own funds as collateral in order to allow you to trade using unsettled funds or margin on highly volatile securities. A brokerage could be left holding a huge bag here if they put up their own funds to allow someone to buy GME, then the incoming unsettled funds from the customer bounce, and now the brokerage is left holding shares of GME worth $100 or whatever and they've incurred a huge loss.

You are NOT entitled to trading with a brokerage's funds as if they were your own.

I'd avoid calling complex numbers "numbers" personally. In the context of plain english (and not currently in the context of mathematics) I think of the word "number" as saying that this is somehow a measure of a quantity (We have "a number" of brands of cereal in the store). Complex numbers are not a measure of a quantity.

I'd probably replace the "numbers" part with "field". I don't have a good replacement for the "complex" part, but I think that should change also (because telling people things are complex is almost as bad as telling them that they are imaginary). If no one proposed something better and I was king of the universe I guess I'd just name them after whoever discovered them.

They want to see hedge funds lose money, and some have lost billions while others made billions, so what exactly was acomplished?
Yeah it’s called a sim.
Also nothing wrong with bringing an irrationally high price down to something more rational... ordinary citizens that are sellers get hurt, but citizens who are ordinary buyers are helped.

The company is hurt if it wants to do a secondary stock offering, but is helped if it wants to do a stock buyback.

Also, short selling increases the amount of money going into the dividend pool. If some stock has 140% short interest and issues 10 million dollars in dividends, short sellers have to pony up 14 million dollars, and the long position holders share those 24 million dollars.

Disclosure: never sold short, but I am in the financial services industry. I do not speak for my employer.

> How have short sellers been ripping off regular investors?

Not short sellers. The set of people who have been ripping off regular investors happen to encompass the majority of short sellers. Think the organized pump and dump that happen on CNBC every day. Those are the real target of the retail rage. They just can't articulate it well and since short sellers bet against the typical retail bet and since most of short sellers are the members of the 'special rules for us' group, short sellers are the target.

P.S. I'm short GME.

It's not really "incorrect", it's just ambiguous to the point that an average native English speaker would interpret it incorrectly.

The problem is the word "wanted" in that sentence can either signify present tense passive voice (e.g. "Google (is) no longer wanted to sponsor..."), which is actually the desired interpretation here, or past tense active voice (which is how I think most native speakers would interpret it).

Two basic ideas come to mind. We want suspects not have their life destroyed if they are found not guilty. And after you have done your sentence, you should be free to have a normal life again.

For some people and some cases this is not possible. Sometimes there is a publicly known person involved, like the case of Keith Bakker which is in the Dutch news today. He has been a lot on TV in the past. Another case was the killing of Pim Fortuyn, a well-known politician, where everybody knows the name of the killer and he is now somewhat forced to live in another country. Mostly the news talk about Jos B. or similar semi-private namings. People closely involved know who it is about, but it doesn't need to be on TV or in the newspaper.
