I use to scoff at gold investors, I was one of those 'only the sp500 is the right asset class, it always beats every other asset class over the long run' type people. then in 2019, I saw a chart of asset prices over the last 20 ye

I was doing an ml thing trying to teach the algorithm how to sort trash: recycling, compost, trash. I wanted to add some additional labeled data so I thought I would start out with an item like 'strawberry' and google image search

"They have enough cash for operations and investments" I dont think they do; I dont think they have enough to finance producing 10 million cars a year with the money they have on hand + selling their current cars. Eventually they

there is no doubt covid-19 is a mild pandemic compared to spanish flu and certainly plagues like the Justinian plague. Note spanish flu consensus prior to the outbreak of covid19 was 20% mortality. After march 2000, a few thousand edits p

I dont like how they didnt back up their claim with data. they never showed that people in the suburbs were actually more unhappy than people in the cities. I only saw anecdotes on commutes. And hey, I feel them. I myself only choose pl

I generally dont worry about inflation, I roll my eyes when certain financial people talk about the inflation boogieman that hasnt existed for 40 years. however, we are in a unique situation that has the potential for causing hyper inflatio

I'm in favor of getting high powered compute in everyone's hands, so this is great to me.

It doesnt matter the impact of amateur astrophotography's work, starlink doesn't have the right to take that from them. I do think we need to evaluate whether these costs are worth it. I go further. I myself think we need to take

No, most companies actually do think in long term. Problem is, most people/companies are wrong about most things they think long term on. The problem with ip6, if there was only just 1, is that they cared more about the engineering th

the papers make a lot of specific arguments. if you have evidence against those arguments, you can say this point is wrong, here is the evidence against it, therefore that claim is likely wrong. Thats science. Your method comes off as: th

I remember when I saw a headline that said gene researchers say there is no way the virus was made in a lab. I'm like oh this should be interesting, they must have done some sort of dating on the mutations. maybe there are markings bi

No. Housing should be an asset. If all housing and land were liabilities, then they would all be owned by the government (we tried that, most people didn't like it). The fact that homes are assets are not stopping people from owning

i disagree. we have treatments that have been shown to be helpful for a given disease. its not perfect but giving out random cocktails is not the norm. estrogen is not a treatment for that disease, which is why this is a headline and tha

the problem is, so much is based on circular assumptions of theories, most of which is bullocks. cosmology was convinced that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic (the universe is about the same everywhere). they we learn that the rot

That's interesting, I didn't know of these limitations. I wonder if we could end up doing something like we do with farming and pay farmers not to grow crops

i try not to stick too religiously to coefficient interpretation unless its a very simple and known problem. one missing variable could change the coefficients sign.
