The argument that Reddit/WSB users manipulated the market is a more difficult one to make vs. the argument that RH manipulated the market when they restricted their users to only sell GME. If they stopped both buying and selling then G

Reading this article reminds me of an econ classes I took in college, developmental economics, where we studied what metrics are correlated with long-term economic growth. Of course we looked at things like education rates and technological

Whats SRR? I know SSR - server side rendering, but since that’s more-so a React/Vue thing I assume that you’re referring to something else.

Thanks for clarifying that. It makes sense. I figured that it was rarely the driver’s fault.

Since COVID I’ve used DoorDash more than ever. I got the dash pass with my cc and have been ordering a couple times a week. That is until I finally cancelled over some recurring bad experiences: 1. The food is wrong often. Whether it’s the

I agree that AI is very difficult and requires hard work by competent operators to be successful but I think there’s a deeper problem - most business data is irrelevant noise. It won’t matter how talented your DS team is if there is no sign

Maybe this is just an issue with my phone, but I found the embedded demo video frustrating to view because it’s 1) low quality / hard to read and 2) in a loop that can’t be paused. I watched it 3 times trying to read through the code e

I’d guess jb775 saw a clip with a conservative lawmaker or pundit making this point. It’s been floating around the news lately. Take a look at the recent argument between Sen. Rand Paul and Dr. Fauci[0]. Essentially republicans are trying t

Did you even read his book? Calling it “far-left” or “pessimistic” is pretty far off. If you have critiques then present them clearly with evidence.

This is good to see but I’m curious how 2020 will turn out. I would guess that with with the pandemic driven shutdown median household income will drop pretty dramatically. Maybe more than this 6.8% gain.

Congrats! I agree that this is a very important problem to solve. Can you elaborate on some of the specifics of how LTSE will incentive investors to think long-term? I’m imagining some strict trading frequency limits. Like an inventor can o

It’s not fair to critique a film or video game based on its trailer. The phrase “don’t judge a book by its cover” comes to mind. Let’s suspend judgment of Cyberpunk 2077 until it’s released in a couple months. They surprised everyone with h

Bitcoin has a large (100M+) user base (or at least it seems like it) but I can’t think of another blockchain app that has reached that level. Ethereum is more like a framework or platform as I understand it so I don’t think it counts in the

Reading this paper reminds me how important it is for AI to continue to evolve it’s core algorithms. Deep learning models are effectively pattern matching machines that cannot separate causality from correlation. As we throw more compute an

Aren’t companies like google[0] and nvidia[1] already doing this? The paper’s point is that eventually we will reach computing power limits and then we will have to improve the deep learning algorithm’s efficiency to continue to improve. Fr

That’s what it looks like. There’s a comment in this issue calling that out also. [0] Considering how inaccessible it is I’m curious why there’s so much hype around it. Just the cost/benefit of cloud compute resources needed to run the

Like many others in HN, I’m interested in learning more about GPT-3 and experimenting with the model myself but I was surprised to find that it’s not openly available and that the repo was archived, perhaps for the reasons discussed in this

I think that it’s the opposite. This algorithm requires many examples of text on the specific topic. Probably more than most humans would require. > While typically task-agnostic in architecture, this method still requires task-specific

I'm trying to figure out how to run these benchmarks on my own machine and experiment with some tweaks to the implementation, but it's unclear how to run these benchmarks from start to finish. I don't see any instructions for
