Look these guys are clearly scumbags but anyone who reads anonymous twitter posts and invests on that basis without assuming everything is a pump and dump is going to lose all their money one way or another. I would guess that at least 95 p

1. I do respect that freedom of speech is a slippery slope and once lost it is very hard to regain. I wish some of the free speech warriors in the last few days would also recognize that we Jews are not new here. We are a bit touchy by the

Take a look at Stock-Flow consistent models which incorporate some of what you are looking for. Agent based economic models were a really hot idea 15-20 years ago. They had interesting properties but to my knowledge nobody ever could calibr

Although in my defense Macs -especially ones powerful enough to be fun - were unattainable expensive for me from childhood through the late 90s.

In my few (luckily) interactions with American hospitals for serious matters I’m struck by how much the hospital looks like a unified organization from the outside but inside seems little more than common real estate and a joint marketplace

This is true. Also true that because something isn’t of universal applicability that doesn’t mean it isn’t of merit for a specific group. I don’t think the Atlantic pretends it’s readership isn’t overwhelming upper middle class+ highly educ

Evernote is still the only product that meets my workflow needs. Hope they don’t mess it up.

Agree on the value of Sage and the Frankenstein. Sage is amazing and valuable but the value of Mathematica is the cognitive ease of having one unified platform for everything. Sage is a nice integration of multiple specialized tools under a

I love Lisp but the language has the highest ratio of essays to live shipping products of any language.

Same here. I’ve been having fun learning a lot of math from first principles in recent years but it’s 1000 times easier when presented in notation/framework I already have internalized from code. I’ve found some of the work in type the

Would those be the points where he rehashes the same antisemitic tropes which have circulated for hundreds of years and every once in a while leads to the massacres of innocent people? Because if he doesn’t get an out due to mental illness

Great post. I see weird language projects beyond solo/hobby stage go in two directions. The first is the “beating the averages” approach where they double down on the weird to attract higher level programmers attracted by the chance to

"Predicting" markets isn't the challenge. Implementing real world strategies with associated frictions is. Show me a cash p&l or it's just a student project.

AST seems to be heading into a cost of capital war with Elon Musk - not a great position to be in. They have been telling investors for years that direct to cell was some secret sauce of theirs and that appears to be BS.

Love this. As a Lisper I’m always intrigued by Clojure but as someone with no knowLedge of or desire to learn to JVM I stayed away since I figured eventually I’d hit JVM questions/issues I frankly didn’t feel like dealing with. Is it r

Unity is in a decent position to be a world dominant company as ar/vr arrives if it can avoid being just yet another vector of ad spam.

Maybe I’m just projecting my own childhood as a universal case, but for a computer passionate teenager, Turbo Pascal was pretty much the sweet spot between kids tools like Basic (particularly pre qbasic if my memory serves) and C which I ad

I’m a Lisper but I love Forth and Forth people. The only computer subculture as devoted to their weird little secret ancient Jedi art as we parenthesis shufflers.

A AAA game costs how much? A corporation making that investment wants to own all of the brand IP it creates for that money. It isn’t looking to share that value with creators altruistically which would just give the creators more bargaining
