Not quite. Cisco will probably take this purchase as a signal to produce more unnecessarily large routers. Those people paid to make the unnecessary routers could have used their valuable skills elsewhere. They may convince more people to l

Look for anything that costs +/- 2 standard deviations from the mean.

It uses a different algorithm. Google Predict likely uses a battery of several types of supervised learning algorithms and lets them "vote". Grok uses their Hierarchical Temporal Memory algorithm.

It seems like HTMs would be prone to the same over-fitting problems that other types of neural networks have. I tried to find some comments in the Numenta material about this, but didn't see anything about Grok's strategy to avoid over-fitt

Why not use logistic regression to estimate likelihood of signup rather than clustering the population into 5 groups? I'd imagine the resulting predictive model would not only have more direct methods for measuring prediction error, but als

The market isn't clearing right now. There are "data scientists" without jobs and there are companies without data scientists. Companies who can pay in that range can hire. Data people who can ask for that salary can get jobs. Sorry if that

Let's be a little more helpful: the sample size is small relative to the feature space. We even have more variables than observations. A sample of 43 observations might be reasonable if there were few independent variables and these variabl

Calling state lotteries a regressive tax highlights the irony of the socioeconomic system. The non-lottery-playing cohort tends to have more political control and uses that power (unconsciously, perhaps) to structure the market to induce lo

Often times, enterprise software buyers have a large team working for months (or years!) to evaluate, test, and negotiate the purchase. In those cases, it's good to take it slow and steady with the customer.

It happened to me recently. A large team found that Dropbox made things easier. The program manager told everyone to buy themselves the 50MB subscription and expense it.

Having a higher marginal tax rate is not a penalty. Among other things, progressive taxes balance the regressive nature of disposable income. As the article mentions, people with double the income do not have double the expenses. With a fla

He was not indicating evilness. He was pointing out that the money flows out of the United States. The article is directed at people who are trying to create more US jobs and increase US GDP.

And much of the reason for those low profits is the high levels of debt that non-financial corporations take on. Or in another way of analyzing the corporate world, if you track who owns the shares, you will find that almost everything is o

No, the mistakes were made by the people setting up the rules of finance--government and society more broadly. Many financiers appear to have done quite well despite the crash. A large number lost their jobs, but they weren't the ones engin

He's saying (I believe) that the only positive externality of HFT is a slight reduction in pricing errors. If the pricing errors were very large, then HFT would be providing a valuable service. The implication of the quarter versus dime met

I'm not sure I care for the style, but the point is still valid -- that it's hard to separate skill from luck. There's so much noise in the market. So many people are busy flipping coins, is it too hard to believe that successful people are

To me, causality is less important than simple prediction. Determining cause is a philosophical question somewhat like asking if machines can truly think. If a system behaves as if it contained a causal process (ie. it is predictable), then

Good point. It's very much fun to see more realtime interaction with a forum. You feel less like a lurker and more like a real participant. Still, I think that in itself is good feedback about the product more generally--how you market it--
