You probably misunderstood what they're doing. They are not fitting data with a model; that's what economists and statisticians do. They show that a simple mechanism, with very few assumptions about real world behavior could repro

Albert Einstein did much of his greatest work in isolation, and he was quite proud, too.

I think you're a bit burnt out from physics, thus this rather cynical view of physicists' approach to an important economic problem. The mathematical models you find in the works of many highly regarded economists are even more si

His point No. 5, 11, 12 are particularly important to people trading financial markets. It's such a common occurrence that when bad news hit the wire, market goes up afterward. The investing proverb says, buy on rumor and sell on news.

This is absolutely the best advice I've come across in a long time. In this day and age where news are used predominantly to manipulate our political views by the major media, this piece is particularly relevant.

This is a great debugging tool for deep learning. Often your code might have been running for 20 hrs on 16 GPUs and you just don't want to restart from scratch again.

Looks interesting so I jumped to the experiments. The bouncing balls example as in Fig 3 looks rather unconvincing. When collision occurred in +12, LSTM has no problem learning the bounce-off, its trajectory is a little off compared with RI

I have to mention this book again. There was another thread on HN about Bill Benter who used statistics to win horse races, which almost went without mention of this book. The Perfect Bet: How Science and Math Are Taking the Luck Out of Gam

What is considered to have "worked". What kind of variance and drawdowns. How do you know it's not just luck -- just want to be provocative here.

More on Bill Benter. From what I heard, his model had worked well for a while, then faltered. It suffered large drawdowns, which is typical of machine learning models on behavioral data with feedbacks. The betting patterns could/have c

Since there's a lot of machine learning folks reading this, let me mention not too long ago, there was a kaggle competition on horse racing. The dataset is from Hong Kong Jockey Club, which is still available here https://ww

After more than a hundred comments, I'm surprised no one mentioned this wonderful book by Adam Kucharski. The Perfect Bet, How Science and Math are taking the Luck out of Gambling, Basic Books, 2016 I learned about his book after watch

I don't why this point is not emphasized more often. What this torrent of protests has done is destroying the very home of the protesters. Sure, some chinese interests are hurt. A lot of underground money is parked in HK real estates.

I believe there's a huge literature on methods to generate pseudo-random numbers. Experts on HN please jump in. One approach, which I thought is quite ingenious, is to observe cosmic radiation and extract randomness from this data.

this's cool, injecting life into dry programming exercise. But you know, in real world, there're many random forces at work, like traffic congestion, road construction (e.g. midtown Manhattan), or just some unexpected and pleasan

On the topic of scaling (or more appropriately down-scaling) the Chinese model, I'd love to read some serious academic/scholarly papers about that. Like Western capitalism currently in practice here (i mean US), the Chinese model

Oh, I agree. Media like NYTimes and Bloomberg have enormous influence over the sphere of finance and investments. They have and will continue to exert equal and probably more influence on how US money is invested overseas. But that does n
