It's data, then loss, and then, finally, architecture. And including some additional conditioning or metadata to help prediction will often have higher value than an architecture change...

There's no synchronized refresh in the retina though. Imagine pixels being randomly updated continuously in time, but each individual pixel has a refresh rate of 60Hz. The overall perceived 'frame rate' for this parallel rand

Unfortunately, only a few people - the hedge fund folks - need to adopt class warfare for it to be a reality. There's piles of evidence that companies have been using the fears of recession and cover of inflation to increase prices sim
