If you can read and understand bergomi's book you basically understand financial math

No. Because to train the sentiment model you need estimable distributions.

By being an indispensable, well-researched, source of information! That's how. I catch every bit of content from this person. I can't believe they choose to operate in China, I'd love an entire video just on that. Wish them t

My heart goes out to this author, but you can tell even by his first table that he doesn't quite understand the mathematics of financial markets, the purpose of a hedge fund, how they grow etc. 1) It's plain by quickly looking at

It's actually the tax write offs for vacancy which have shelled out American cities. I wouldn't expect them to go away anytime soon though.

Its really a false dichotomy that freely available information deprived creative people from making a living.

Anything I've ever done is freely available! I have several homes. So yeah.

It boggles my mind that people can only mention that this resource is illegal without pointing out it's the best library humanity has ever made. It has been the goal of the Google cofounders, Carnegie, and great civilizations since ant

Excellent piece. Definitely a better than average think piece site too. Cheers to exolymph.

You're right.

100% agree with this. Although mini-batch SGD is much more parallel than most problems. the scientific codes which parallelize poorly often parallelize poorly because they are written in ancient languages with support for whatever supercomp

Well put. Of course Anton's Force field isn't accurate enough to correctly predict conformational equilibria of proteins ;P although it does scale!

If your pde has spatial locality, parallelization works. I suspect you might be talking about multidimensional diffusions such as occur in finance. These decompose locally in price space. If the pde is nonlocal there is very little that wor

If you understood anything about how literally every chemistry problem scales non-linearly, and requires exponential amount of sampling to yield any predictive meaning you wouldn't talk about things you don't understand lol. Peta=

I have my Ph.D. in this exact field from UC Berkeley. My thesis was about polynomial scaling algorithms for quantum molecular systems. I was a postdoc at Harvard. I received an NSF career award. I know exactly what I'm talking about

by alpineidyll3 4y ago
This is exactly like if you were to ask: what can exascale do for larger scale quantum simulation. Not much! These devices are vanity projects and prey upon people's intellectual blindness in the face of giant numbers.

It's funny, in areas I deal with daily these second order effects feel obvious and make me scream daily. I had to read your good comment 2x though. Perhaps I'm under slept, or perhaps this is a sadly durable failure of the human m

I'll get downvoted into oblivion for this, but dozens of my old academic friends from Harvard are in on this grift. My old advisors own some of the largest enterprises in this 'sector', and all all these people (in private) r

Well done little app. I assume it's a project for funsies? source?

This dude has been saying this, literally forever. This type of financial press exploits the same human Cassandra bias as any other doomsayer. He doesn't know the future better than anyone else.

That's sad because grant panels approve based on political and personal relationships, not the content of the grant. Lol this is like complaining about mafia talking about cannoli....

People often think of AGI as an AI which can learn to complete arbitrary tasks better than humans. Given that we already can produce "an" AI which beats humans at almost every task we come up with (besides synthesis of broad abstr

I hate the pop sci ill-defined notion of AGI. As soon as a task is defined, an AI is developed which completes the task from real world data with superhuman success. The work of making the superhuman model isn't even conceptual usuall

Monkeypox (like COVID) causes undeniable, obvious symptoms. How many less obvious virii are circulating at all times? How many are causing fatalities? How should we estimate that and what should we do about them... Media impact and counter-

If error correction can be made to work they would revolutionize human life by allowing the microscopic world to be predictable. The recent result about error correction in surface codes from the Google group is encouraging, but still sever

Pairs trades are amongst the most common elementary quant strategies, which is why all equities are so damn correlated and which destroys the apparent arb described in the article.

Yeah... I mean the author is blatantly biased, but his low level discussion is cogent.
