There is a really good explanation of "volatility drag" about 30 minutes in that is well worth it if you don't want to listen to the whole thing. But I enjoyed the whole thing.

I read an article that stated that Microsoft lost an anti-trust court case against the EU in which the EU mandated that they allow third party competitors to provide this service. Microsoft has its own solution called Windows Defender. htt

Not to be that guy but this is the sort of thing I could imagine might benefit from an AI also. Train an AI to recognize drowning, and sound an alarm just in case the lifeguard misses it...

"Students tend to understand objects better" -> I actually a disagree. A problem is mutability. Consider: "Is-a list of triangles a list of shapes?". Most inexperienced people, using their intuition, would answer &quo

I feel like the whole article is an allegory of LLM development (as a critic would write it: devoting a stupendous amount of resources and 'training data' to 'memorize' the solution). I wonder if this was the author&#x27

I think this is too pessimistic. One always gains some information, even from a single event. If you're catching the bus one and shows up literally the minute that you arrive at the bus stop, yes, you may have been very fortunate a

ah and I get it now - the author has associations with the alt-right. For those who had heard of him (I had not), they were already inclined to view his statements uncharitably, even though I think this particular essay does not have any re

right on thanks for making this point - "Also, IIRC, the predictions made by heliocentric model were less accurate than geocentric ones." - that was my recollection also: the epi-cycles had greater predictive power and accuracy.

I thought this was a quite insightful article - and was surprised to find so much criticism in the comments. e.g. those who are attacking his parable on the grounds that "actually the odds aren't actual 50-50 in chess" or &qu
