I think in a true efficient market there would be no arbitrage between renting and buying. There would just be oscillations around an equilibrium. I would suspect permits/zoning and whatnot that cause inefficiency to the markets cause

I think this is a real problem in the West. Consider how much brain power and resources have been spent on quant finance and crypto now in the past 20 years. Imagine if all those resources had been spent on something more productive.

I am still remote but I think you are spot on. I hate the office but I will be back in as many days as possible as soon as possible. I am not going to be part of an out-group to an in-group that contains the people who decide promotions. I

Instead of "AI Warfare" what if we come back to reality and say machine learning driven warfare? It is a lot of nothing. You have to conflate science fiction with reality because reality is a non-story here. I worry we have become

What proof is there that I am generally intelligent in the same context we want computers to be in order for AGI to be true? Imagine how much farther the field would be if we stopped wasting resources on this fantasy land nonsense. All inte

Yea this article sounds like a good strategy on how to get correct answers on a test of things you don't understand. I just think the categorization of "textbook" is nonsense to start with. Of course you want a book with text

Isn't the problem though that any time you introduce a threshold the threshold gets gamed? A tax on people making $400k a year causes a giant spike in people making $399k a year. I think no matter what you do, bad unintended consequenc

No doubt. I love it so much. I turn off all the desktop effects but translucency and then it is just instantly responsive and beautiful. I can't even imagine using anything else at this point.

How can wanting to know the origins of this pandemic not be scientific? The idea of not wanting to know is just bizarre to me. I feel like people are so wrapped up in the political sport/game that it is almost like people who lean Demo

China was already way past this by the late 90s. This is old thinking. Same battlefield with different technology. The war that changed everything was the 1st Gulf War. 20 years ago they could see how stupid it was to use weapons to blow th
