I think it's happening already. Chat GPT was able to connect my name to my project based on chess.com profile and one Hacker News post for example. It's not that hard to imagine that it learns a solution to a rare problem based on

They might optimize learning to weight novel/unexpected parts more in the future. The better the models become (the more the expect) the more value they will get from unexpected/new ideas.

What about implementing text algorithms like prefix search or a suffix tree to mention the simplest ones? Don't you need a string length at various points there?

Wow, that's fantastic. I may consider Croatia as the base for retirement in the future if that stays. Nothing annoys me more about EU countries' tax system as giving all the tax breaks to real estate investors and punishing stock

Croatia is beautiful, well connected and has low taxes. Capital gain tax is 12%. It's a very important consideration although some other countries in the area are even more attractive tax wise but then there are trade-offs (more remote

Or the pension fund has positions marked at given value which aren't updated to current reality (commercial real estate, private equity shares etc.) so they try to off-load it to some poor sucker before it blows up.

Isn't it because Israel does propaganda at state level while pro-Palestinian groups do it via other channels? On my FB wall Israel is losing. I see several pro-Palestinians posts every day and I am yet to see one pro Israel one. Not a

The whole point is that it isn't. Liquidity availability is big part of finance. In your specific example of other side - yes - just because someone who needs to sell a chunk for reasons like an emergency, retirement or consumption ne

Yes but it assumes the whole thing. Just because someone is willing to buy a chunk for X doesn't mean there are enough buyers for all chunks at this price.

Why does it matter if I believe if my company is going to be profitable or not? I have no idea what happens. It may be more profitable, it might be less profitable, it might go bankrupt. It's impossible to predict. This is especially t

My point was that is that even without any economic growth stock indexes grow quickly because they are cumulative (that is include profits of companies by either dividend paid or stock buybacks). Some indexes are not fully cumulative but th

I am sure the point must be more sophisticated as even with 0% growth there would still be significant return on capital (risk free rate + acceptable risk premium). That is to say the world where return on capital is not greater than econom

There are many ways to make consumption taxes not regressive. You can implement refunds up to certain threshold. You can use the revenue to fund services used by lower income families. You can tax luxury good at higher rates. EU countries a

Democracy in most EU countries is messed up. People don't get to vote on stuff. There are usually 2-3 major parties that campaign on this or other hot issue. There is nothing that can be done about most issues even if vast majority of
