Reddit is a swamp of filth wrt economics comments. Basically all the subreddits except /r/academiceconomics, /r/badeconomics, /r/econpapers are awful. I'm friends with the mods of /r/economics an

Limiting your queries to ~12gb, the max ram on one GPU, (beyond which PCIe I/O becomes a bottleneck) will be a problem for business use, I'd think

How do you gather the data? You could learn scraping in python, for example. If you manually input the data, a simple spreadsheet is fine for that. If you have the data in a non csv format and use excel to transform it into csv, python and

Yes, because things are going so well in Italy and Spain and forcing them to use the same monetary policy as Germany and France is a superb idea

I imagine it's because the dialogue format flows naturally compared to the traditional monologue paradigm in books.

Sorry about the ad homs; the reviewer used moral/philosophical instead of technical reasons to argue against (except that point on simulations), so I assumed he was a riled up layperson. I read his review too fast, I guess. The reviewe

It's a legitimate criticism, but he's arguing a strawman. First off, the reviewer's coinflip analogy is deeply flawed. If you take a million draws from a binomial distribution, it's not going to end up the same as a mill

Read Success and Luck by Robert Frank instead

I'll read this thanks.

Fooled by randomness is his best book, but it's probably getting replaced by Robert Frank's book "Success and Luck" on my recommendation list for that topic. It's just a good reminder that you might be luckier than

I don't particularly care about his position on GMOs. In fact I sort of agree with it; his point can be reduced to "we're not exactly sure what we're doing here, perhaps we should try to avoid scalable disasters" wh

The wildest conspiracy theories you've heard are also "the outcome of inductive reasoning based on many observations". Empirical testing is supposed to be statistical, not subject to human bias.

Nitpicking: he's an asset allocation/market expert, not an economics expert. His PhD is in finance, not economics. There's a significant difference.

Are his theories formulated in a rigidly defined and testable manner, and empirically tested? No, they're "rules of thumb". Rules of thumbs can be great to make complex decisions (like in trading, as he does), but coming up w

None of his theories are scientific. They're nice mental models to keep of the world, but they certainly don't justify his level of arrogance, especially not towards others who actually follow the scientific process to postulate t

For someone calling out vanguards of science, he's light on science himself. He pulled all his "theories" out of his ass, with no empirical support or mathematical deduction. Fooled by randomness was nice and all, and Black S
