Actually doing the material (as opposed to sitting in a lecture) is the way to learn, but that could be done in class.

The fact that Black-Scholes has only one unknowable parameter makes it quite usable, more so than more complicated option pricing models. You can work backwards from the market price to solve for the implied volatility, treating it as a gen

Most prescribed drugs are generics that will cost you a couple bucks. The drugs advertised on TV are precisely the ones with high margins that support expensive customer acquisition efforts.

The gradient we want is the gradient with respect to the process which generated the dataset. The gradient we get is an estimate based on only a handful of samples from that process at a time. The analogy holds up fine.

The encoder is a neural network which is a nonlinear and highly expressive function family. The encoder function is optimized to produce a set of "factors" which are designed to be linearly comparable. If the "factors" a

The purely algorithmic way to do it is the Wigner-Ville distribution, but it isn't practical for complex sounds due to the quadratic explosion of interactions between all time-frequency components. For a small number of well-separated

I bought a set of conventional lockpicks to try out the hobby, but it ended up being so easy it wasn't interesting! I was able to reach competence in a few hours and at that point I didn't want to spend a lot of money to find hard

If your list includes "get lunch" it's not a quick charge. A 1 hour charge time can be planned around but it is still quite constraining.

The one thing I totally don't understand about this architecture is the meager 40GB of RAM. I understand it's SRAM and the high memory bandwidth allows for reduced replication, but almost every workload I can imagine this addressi

Yep, they've existed for decades. Look up "RNN" (recurrent neural network) and "LSTM" (long stort-term memory). They were the standard for neural-network based time-series processing for a while until recently suppl

The IC engines used for lawn tools have significant weight and cost constraints and less regulation compared to the IC engines used in transportation which makes them much more polluting. Similarly, motorcycle engines are more polluting tha

Integer factoring is in a fairly sparse in-between zone between polynomial and NP Hard problems. This is why quantum computers can have a near exponential speedup from them (disregarding this claimed result) and only a polynomial speedup fo

It's an interview that would have been an onsite in non-pandemic times. In other words it means you're past the screens and you're now doing a full panel of interviews, possibly including members of your prospective team.

The tax function is continuous. There are steps in the _incremental_ tax rates, which results in the overall tax rate increasing smoothly with income. The bigger problem is that the rules are written to apply effectively to wage earners but
