This isn't a very fair assessment. All evidence we've gathered so far seems to indicate that they do. Of course you're technically right to say that "they may not", but that's true of any physical theory, so it

Spending hundreds of dollars on mobile games doesn't make someone a whale imo. More like thousands or tens of thousands over years.

How is PCA the same as least squares? I've always understood it as the eigendecomposition of the covariance matrix.

I assume that when you come across one of these novel moves, plug it into the computer, and give it time to search, it ultimately decides that it's superior? Relatedly, can you give some examples of novel non-engine lines that turned o

Very little in terms of day-to-day, unless a board director decides to make it his/her mission to change something at that very low level. The board meets typically quarterly (monthly depending on the circumstances?) and is generally f

I can see how it'd be interpreted that way at first glance. My read was always that it meant "full of fits", in the way that a child throws a fit or tantrum. So if your sleep is doing that, it's not good.

The market dictates your price for the value you provide. You can't charge $1B/hour and get away with it. There is an optimal profit-maximizing price for your services, regardless of whether or not you acknowledge that fact. Yes

Surely you realize that your current compensation is already decided based on market forces and not some inherent "value".

by vecter 6y ago
This is basic supply and demand. Compensation isn't based on "worth" or "value", it's based on market competition. This is the way that your compensation is currently decided, and it's the way that most go
