Is there any benchmarks for these chips doing like regular 'data-sciency' CPU grunt work? Dataframe-wrangling, inverting matrices, doing large matrix, factorisations, fitting decision tree's, etc? I'm very keen on one of

Yes. I've seen lots of twitter/X posts lately about how Gravity is not actually a force. But how can that be true if there is a force carrying "gravity" particle? Or is the word 'force' being used loosely here?

Radiologists will not be replaced. They will just have better tools.

What part about the genuine statistical arguments made in the article would make you believe it is satire? I've found the reaction to this article can be pretty intense. We read this in a journal club many years ago and one of the math

I'd say Moneyball made statistics kind of cool for a bit. It would have inspired a lot of people to get in to sports analytics.

Because then you couldn't use a pretrained LLM to give you the embeddings. If you added these numerics as extra dimensions, you would need to train a new model that somehow learns the meaning of those extra dimensions based on some me

I had heavily pondered investing in Nvidia in 2014 when I thought deep learning was really becoming interesting (90+% of my other investments are in index funds) in some sense, I had some expert knowledge of the field. However, I thought th

Why would you expect anything to work well for economic forecasting :p

by dcl 3y ago
Understood, thank you. There are certainly applications in demand sensing/demand forecasting where things like recent order information, recent sales, CRM inputs are quite predictive of near-term outcomes, but become useless for longer

What does 'any-variate' forecasting mean? Can you use this pre-trained model to produce forecasts when there exists useful covariates/features/predictors? Is this something the other TS foundation models can/cannot

Regression targets where extrapolation may be needed. Decision tree methods cannot extrapolate, the predictions are have to be a mean of a subgroup of the data. Consider: Predicting how much a customer might pay by end of month, with inform

In 2014, I managed to get a fairly good job at a large institutional bank, without a formal interview process because the person hiring (who would be my boss) liked a blog I had written on quant sports betting during my PhD.

I use the word 'plot'. Graph is overloaded in the maths/stats/comp sci/ML/etc space.

It's been that way for years, but with data-science and machine learning.
