That’s compelling as a demonstration of Julia’s expressiveness. My next thought is: what would it look like in Python? With and without a deep learning library. I suspect it would be much shorter with and slightly longer without but I am no

It sounds like these companies are providing frequency modulation, and smoothing our the renewable power signals with the batteries. So the user still enjoys - and pays for - the storage component while the utility enjoys and pays for the f

okay, that is in theory. Here is the syllabus: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/bs-in-artificial-intelligence/curricu... Do you think any part of that is unreasonable or putting the cart before the horse?

That was a response to your statement that the relevant research has been done. I don't think it has. We still have to figure out ways to lower the cost of storage. You're saying it is cheap enough that we can now mandate it? It s

Well, storage is still too expensive. There is a role for regulation but a carbon tax is the way to go.

If the government had mandated that everyone had to buy an ENIAC, would that have made computers smaller and faster? Rather, the government should invest in research so solar + storage (let's call it green energy) becomes cheap enough

But 20-25% of the time it is more than 3x as volatile. Taleb built his career on this.

List prices are meaningless but Medicare prices are probably the most meaningful. Insurance prices are benchmarked off them.

There are a few things to watch out for: 1. Systematic trading doesn't necessarily require an algorithm. For instance this rule might work (over a 5 year horizon, don't try it monthly): "buy very large cap stocks if their P&#

I am not sure I understand this. It takes just as much skill to guess if volatility will go up or go down as it does to guess if prices will. The best models we know of (say GARCH) will still pace the information in the option prices.

Yes, but please read the article I was responding to.

One useful test of science if the property of falsifiability: what would it take to demonstrate this theory is incorrect? Without that attempt to prove the theory false, I don't think it should be considered scientific. So, for instanc

The theory is controversial, and there are many details that are argued about. I certainly don't have a view as to which is correct, but I do think the debate is complicated by the definition of "autism." I do agree with peop

There is some philosophical context here that perhaps everyone reading this is not aware of. It has been argued that people have an innate Theory of Mind. They use it to theorize about perhaps the most important thing we theorize about: oth

I have a graduate degree in computer science and know some graph theory, but I really liked this. I thought it was interesting, reminded me of a lot of theory, and taught me some more. I really appreciated the voice and tone. I am very surp

You need the map because you want to know where to go, not in order to avoid debris. Pick two points in your town: say your home and your office. Imagine a stranger had to get from one to the other, and they know how to drive. The map if fo

A lot of the comments here are skeptical of the claims in the article. (This is how comments should, and do, function). However, for all the reasons that the article may be wrong - the shortage is temporary - the shortage is overblown - the

That is an interesting question. Digital "currency" is unregulated so the question is which law is violated. If, in purchasing a tether, there is some underlying contract that says the tether is backed by a dollar, then you might

My understanding from the article is that the problem isn't that the price was propped but that they created fake tether to do so. By fake, I don't mean the tether wasn't real, but that it was not tied to dollars. So they cla

This is true. 40% of the time, options prices move in the opposite direction of the earnings surprise . For those who are skeptical, this is not magic. The reasons for it are all the reasons you might expect: the biggest investors may no

I wonder if the mood disorders are causal. For instance, the largest mood disorder was anxiety. Let me recast anxiety as "overly caring". An anxious person may work 3x as hard at a presentation or an exam. I don't want to gla

I agree with your first statement to the point of disagreeing with your second. i.e. even the magic stuff is just incremental progress that people were not paying attention to. (Self driving cars have been wowing people since the 90s, objec

There are three issues I have with this: 1. "Quality" for management decisions are notoriously ill defined for the same reason that we never know if we did the right thing with the economy: the experiments can never be repeated. 2

For those worried about the inflation risk: it depends on how the money is generated. Theoretically, if it is created by, for instance, taxation (redistribution over people) or bonds (which is redistribution over time), you shouldn't r
