People who're familiar with Newton's method might be surprised at the convergence rate. 1/k^2 is slower than the textbook rate for Newton's method with line search, which is 2^{-2^k}, basically implying convergence in a

A strange thing about your comment, beyond it making easily verifiable claims without substantiating them, is that you focus on the gender of the spectators. You could have focused on their age, their posture, that they look at only constru

Can you explain why you prefer TQQQ over buying LEAPs on QQQ? The spread on the latter seem ok, the leverage factor is under your control, and volatility drag does not reduce your returns (though implied volatility causes fluctuations). I d

Unrelated to chess, but I find it fascinating that you wake up at 3am regularly. This might just be biphasic sleep [1], and throughout history, it was believed people were more effective between their first and second sleep [2]. [1] https:

> Money is a 'first derivative' of success Does that mean that even if my success stagnates at “quite successful”, I make no money at all? That doesn’t make sense to me. How would that work?

Imagine using this to build a balzingly fast serialization library that you’d use like protobufs. Or to explore lots of configurations of your code to search for the variant that runs fastest. Or to write a linear algebra library that doesn

The page uses the phrase "revolutionary structure". It's a fascinating pun to make about a wheel. I wonder if it's intentional.
