A meaningful driver of heart attacks was older people working manual jobs that stressed their cardiovascular system. Now those same types of people sit in F-150s and use laptops to control heavy machinery. Fitness is worse, but risk for a s

Yeah, I think the (worrying) confusion is that Amazon calls it a seq2seq model, which was the name of a SOTA RNN from Google a while back. Ofc now, seq2seq just means what you said (an encoder/decoder model, which is actually what a “t

The fractions are as follows: [US HQ Public companies / All Public companies] = 60% [US People / All People] = 5% The listing venue doesn't matter (though for obvious reasons, almost no US companies list overseas). The 60% a

The problem everyone seems to miss is that SF is one of the few places that had a recession due to COVID (not necessarily a GDP recessions, but definitely a weak businesses closed en masse recession) and a lot of other places (illogically)

Would you believe that they killed the digital camera because they saw themselves as a film business, not a camera business? The cameras were a loss leader to sell the film. Seriously, here's the 1999 10-k self description (cameras is

No. Regardless of corruption, the market for film tanked.

Eh, the opposite is usually true. Kodak should have laid off every single person working in film development and pivoted hard to digital sensors, but for a variety of reasons, decided that they were done in that market, so they kept paying

Non profits are completely within their right to choose who they offer services to. They can select most at risk populations, etc.

There’s an argument to be made that we should do a much better job of directing those neutrons to make tritium, since fission isn’t even something to discuss until we know how to make abundant tritium.

by RC_ITR 3y ago
Water bombarded with neutrons create tritium, which is it’s own nightmare. The problem is the neutrons, not what they hit.

Like any other company in the history of time has. Get in early, be best-in-class for the important part of the development cycle and make it hard to switch.

It's an interesting chicken and egg problem in America. Have people lost the will to think big because others before them have failed, or do people assume that they will fail because they don't think big. I guess the asset-light s

RDMS are a solved problem, but Oracle is still a quarter-trillion dollar company.

No - why participate in a forum if you fundamentally disagree with the way it's run. There's plenty of places online to do whatever you want, people like it here because we at least sort of try to follow some rules to encourag

I did exactly that and I saw was anecdotes and unsupported claims. This is supposed to be a data-driven discussion forum - people correctly flagging content you like != censorship.

Wait, we recovered almost all of Madoff's money too? Traditional finance has plenty of clawback mechanisms. You're completely straw-manning a world in which traditional finance isn't also mostly done on KYC'ed exchange

Just to be clear, there’s a reason this chart cuts off in mid 2022. What the authors are doing is saying “well the dollar is stronger vs. other currencies. Let’s equate that with those other currencies being worth more in our hypothetical b

What does that have to do with decentralized consensus? You know, the core differentiating feature of cryptocurrency.

> There are 100's of other examples of quite outrageous FTX-style crime. Woah woah woah. FTX (in the most generous telling) didn’t even have its own bank account. Let’s not conflate that with not proactively reaching out to snitch

Well is the unit is the diameter, then why add extra dimensionality at all then? That’s literally what bar charts are for. I can feel a Tufte monologue coming on, even.

He regularly underperforms the Vegas line. He makes bad models. Nate put 2021/22 warriors at 0.5% to win, Vegas was +900. Nate put 2020/21 bucks at 10% to win, Vegas was +550. If you can’t even come close to beating the line, you’

Eh, eye of the beholder. I honestly mostly follow the sports odds and I’d argue that Nate’s models are some of the most biased out there for that.

Simply looking at 538 during election cycles makes it hard to argue they aren’t a horse race tracker (they literally started as a sanitized gambling odds site and Nate’s new book is about gambling). They’re just the guy who went to the stab

Ok let’s play that out. If I’m at the top marginal rate, I effectively gain 40 cents for every untaxed dollar. Loewe then tells me that instead of paying $5k for my calfskin bag today, I can take out a 1 year $1k loan with a 400% APR via s

I would prefer that too. The more people are exposed to the true cost of housing, the more likely they are to care about it. I also don’t think it’s an intrinsic good that people own their homes. Looks what it has done in places like CA whe
