You don't have to participate in the Noogler orientation week at all. You can just get straight to work if that's what floats your boat.

I don't have a source, but the current block reward is $275,000 plus another 20% or so in transaction fees, and it stands to reason the energy cost of mining a block should converge to the block reward plus transaction fees. You get ab

Only a given bitcoin fork is inflation proof. Bitcoin itself is infinitely forkable, and if someone greatly improves the experience of creating and trading forks, we're at risk of inflation in a way fiat currencies are not.

US tap water is generally so high in chlorine that to people from Western Europe it smells like pool water, even in places that are proud of their tap water like NYC. Having lived here for ten years now I can no longer smell it when I turn

I don't understand your exact point, but the GNU C library ships with the strverscmp() and versionsort() functions, which do the same thing as `ls -v`.

Just to be clear, I think having to prefix my web searches is not a fix, but rather an even greater inconvenience. I'll either have to type " http:// " dozens of times per day, or "g " a hundred times per

Tens of thousands of people have signed up for this at 1daysooner.org. I didn't even volunteer for any of the ongoing trials myself.

I think the point is that we chose and are still choosing to wait for a hundred people to get infected at random in each efficacy trial, instead of just deliberately infecting a hundred people immediately. The cost of our approach is that r

I was only answering your question, but why can't it be both? Companies like to have celebrities talk to their employees, and rich companies have to pay well. Citadel probably paid way more for their employees to listen than for her to

Forced selling doesn't just happen arbitrarily, but precisely because the price is low. Long positions using borrowed or unsettled funds are similar to shorts in that they can be squeezed, just in the other direction.

by mortehu 6y ago
It applies to any margin position. This can just mean trading with unsettled funds. E.g. you buy a stock, sell it, then use the proceeds to buy another stock (or the same one) before two days have elapsed.

Brokers must often sell customers' positions if they have insufficient margin. Where did he say they wouldn't?

You have to compare to investments with similar risk profiles. For example, 10 year treasury bonds only recoup 11.4% of their cost after 10 years. That doesn't mean nobody will accept that return. Not everyone is in a situation wher

Why are you treating 10 years as if it's infinity? Lots of houses last longer than 10 years.

Plants reflect and diffuse most sunlight, and we can make lamps that only emit wavelengths that are suitable for photosynthesis. Doesn't this complicate the model a bit?

It's only 175 billion parameters, so presumably it can fit on a single computer with 1024 GB RAM.

This doesn't really answer my question. I knew the money was given for reasons. The question is who is really getting it. Note that the same report says that excluding subsidies, farmer net income increased in 2020 over 2019, so I&#x27

What research is this? As far as I've been able to tell, CDC hasn't conducted a single randomized survey on any large group, but has only collected convenience samples. Also keep in mind that due to compounding (keeping these peo

ML is usually better at speed. For example I use a fine tuned GPT-2 for code autocomplete in vim, and even though humans could do better, they can't do it as fast.

Randomization will on average prevent confounding variables from being unbalanced. For known and suspected confounding variables you can use blocking on top of that. For example you can randomly split each age group in half in order to ensu

I don't think the Commissioner's plan of 1811 was made with automobiles in mind. Although there's a highway next to each river, they don't really define traffic in Manhattan. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w

You are right. CDC said in March "You do not need to wear a facemask unless you are caring for someone who is sick (and they are not able to wear a facemask)".

I think a major problem is that "we don't recommend masks" too easily gets interpreted as "we recommend no masks", and we need new clear language to say the former (no position on masks) with no risk of misinterpre
