I've said it before, and I will say it again: I regularly read theses. Maybe I am insane, but I find them rather enticing when they're really, really good. OK, only one thesis every 100 years can be as monumental as Shannon's thesis, but th

I was criticizing the title, not the post. It's hard to name blog posts, but some names are more inflamatory than others. I was not attacking the thesis.

That would be (sigh) depressingly accurate :-(

No one will ever read your thesis... if it sucks. I have read many, many theses. In fact, I prefer to read theses than conference papers, because a thesis does not have as many editorial constraints. This kind of generalization is dumb. "No

I like violin, cello and piano. No singing. I can't work when listening to opera, for instance. Italian opera is almost OK, but German opera is too distracting. Classical composers other than Bach would probably work, but since most of the

No need for references. Probability was started by a bunch of bored french aristocrats who wanted to understand risk and uncertainty. Read what they wrote. They're the original thinkers. Last but not least: in the late 1990s, Lehman Brother

I think you're painting things with a very, very broad brush... Algorithmic trading is NOT the same as high-frequency trading. What is algorithmic trading, actually? Using algorithms to support trading decisions? Or to execute the trades? Y

So, what is the solution? Destroy the financial industry? Good luck. Taleb is an anti-intellectual. He believes that all models are wrong and useless. To make it worse, he advocates that no further knowledge can be attained. The only knowle

"Taleb's position (and argument in this paper) is that we need to recognize instances where we don't know the answer instead of making decisions based on assumptions that we do." Have you ever worked at an investment bank? I suspect you h

Same here :-( I would need a 1000 years to learn all the things and work on all the projects I would like to. Since I only have 50 years or so left (if I am lucky) on this 3rd rock from the Sun, I will have to choose the top 2% of cool thin
