Finance SWE here, sorry if what I say is wrong. Please correct me if that's the case. >And yet UPRO (3X SPY) has significantly outperformed 3X the S&P 500 since inception (since June 2009 UPRO is +8000% vs SPY +700%. Isn't

Anecdotally (can't say how I know), many firms did very well in the 2020-2021 Covid crash, also its quite cheap to say buy 50 million in far OTM puts to guard against black swan events. It's far more likely that a slow slide in SP

That's a really bad idea, those rebalance daily, so you are basically betting against short-term volatility (if spy goes down 10% in a day then up 10% the next, you are down 1% on spy, on a 2x levered etf you are down 4% or 4x the loss

You didn't actually argue against the point though. How is it obvious that raising the minimum wage benefits all Americans? The people making wage already don't "have any money" yet the economy is fine anyways since they

This is straight up an unfair characterization. It's not "slaves making nothing at all", its fair value for their labor as decided by supply and demand. The issue you're highlighting shouldn't be solved by trying to

Why is this the case? It's well known that ML models are almost always gameable if you know the weights. What right do you have to their algo? Why not? The contractors know before directly accepting a contract it's value, they can

But the worker knows exactly what the job is worth at the point of acceptance. Did you actually read the article? The issue is that the offered amount is decided algorithmically through an opaque process not that the worker doesn't kno

You are bounded by the fact that the statement is provable. Let a statement M be provable with a proof length K. By contradiction, if K is non finite, the statement must not be provable. Thus, there must be some positive integer K s.t. the

I was curious as to how it works, so I implemented here: turingmachine.io/?import-gist=c862f28918f3d889f964797694d28fcc If you run it for a bit you see what's going on, State B turns 0's into 2's and 1's into 1&#x27

Since that's nearly certainly less efficient at population expansion compared to physical violence. Conservatively, modern humans seem to settle at having 2~4 children per woman but historically it was not uncommon to have families of

The idea is that due to exponential growth, amortized over long enough times, the utility of a person's happiness right now is 0 compared to the utility of filling the planet with lets say hundreds of billions of people with barely ali

by casercaramel144 2y ago
So by the tyranny of exponential growth, we should just start building massive breeding factories and forceably enslaving people randomly matching them to have children? Because this could actually be the optimal policy if we take your view

by casercaramel144 2y ago
I mean yeah. Not existing has a utility value of 0. You can make the same argument for people who don't exist yet. Is it infinite utility to go around as a government and force people to pump out 100 babies a year? Since not existing i

Except everyone else also works for a living? Wealth transfer is a great descriptor of what that type of policy making leads to since it is in fact exactly taking money from delivery app users and giving to delivery app drivers. Do you disa

by casercaramel144 2y ago
Good, this is exactly what we wanted. Service worker classification is straight up wealth transfer from delivery users to drivers since competition is so tight and everyone ie being squeezed. The needs of the many outweigh the entitlement o

It's camel. How do you do matrix vector attention without keeping the full matrix in cache, surely you don't just load unload it a million times
19.
by casercaramel144 3y ago
Huh? I thought the issue before ringattention is the memory requirement of the softmax layer, since you have to load the whole matrix in at once? It's O(s^2) no? Also hi horace.

wdym by cross check each others work? Surely just reporting the final loss is good enough if that's the intention. The final end goal is lower loss anyways so it's not even a bad metric.

I'm sorry, I don't understand the exact contribution here? There's many tutorials on how to train a language model. If it's a repository of SOTA techniques for training, this will be outdated in at max 3 months, and anyw

Surely this is fine yes? I haven't met a single person that hasn't ever wished death upon someone. Emotionality is fine, we just have some ridiculous high standards for Garry since he's YC CEO.

Except it can. The way it does that is by printing and taxing. Both can be used to pay debt and are "taking income streams" / "seizing property" in disguise.
