The rules of the lottery are a bit sparse, but it sounds like a guaranteed pool. The lottery worked like this: (1) If you have Hotel de Ville bonds you can participate (if not for the lottery, these were almost free since no one thought the

Hi, Great post. A little typo I found was in the covariance equation (copy pasted when you copy-pasted the equation), there's an extra bracket at the end. I loved the sentiment at the end: A Gaussian Process might be useful for you. Bu

It's a shame because of the topic seems fascinating but I couldn't read past the first paragraph. Maybe it's because I'm on my phone and somewhat distracted but the article seems very badly written.

I didn't know about SHAP graphs that's pretty cool. I'd love to be corrected but it just seems like an ensemble model of LightGBM, Gradient Boosting and Random Forest with 12 features is just overkill. Why ensemble and not ju

I'm not convinced. If you only cared about the short term then yes you would do as you described. But both Bloomberg and the author are pursuing long term strategies. If you publish misleading/inaccurate articles consistently, the

Interesting article. I'm a little surprised on how abruptly the article just seems to end, the author suggests possible solutions to the problem, but doesn't argue them just presents them.

Not sure how relevant those results are for CCTV. Looking at the pictures in the dataset ( http://megaface.cs.washington.edu/dataset/subset.html#facesb... ), these are nowhere close to what CCTV looks like.

"Some 56 per cent of British adults admitted to watching pornography in a 2014 study carried out by The Observer." Looks like 44% of British adults are liars.

I don't think the point of the video is suggesting that soccer commentary is better. It's simply pointing to the reality of watching NFL sport commentary where we're constantly bombarded with stats, and graphics.
