What about this? Consider a toy system: everyone gets issued a UUID, everyone can see how every UUID voted, but only you know which one is your vote. This is of course flawed because a person can be coerced to share their ID. In which case

Shameless plug: https://www.supyagent.com - we basically want to give away the integrations for free. For Claude users you just need to run `supyagent skills generate` and you get all the integrations. Works well with cursor and

What a bunch of nonsense. I really urge you to look into more contemporary research on it. By which measure were they less advanced? Tenochtitlan had a population of north of 200k when the Spanish arrived - bigger than most European cities

I'm building https://www.ergodic.ai - and we are using a graphs as the primary objects in which the intelligence operates. I don't think every graph needs a graph database. For 99% of use-cases a relational database is

Lol, considering that the entire pricing and risk system of the company runs on a proprietary programming language, I'm pretty sure this is just publicity

Not only that. I have an agent product and I’m currently blocked from using their reasoning models on Azure for having asked for a chain of thought, which apparently is against the ToS. The customer service itself was surreal enough that it

Yes, (ergodic.ai) working on causal inference applied to process mining and event logs. Basically: something happened, why did it happen and how can I avoid it/get more of it?

Why? Replace the context and not having that property is now called a hallucination. Overall the model is tra

It's a question of timelines. While I agree with Amazon, we know pretty well the periods in which Rome and London have been inhabited, but the question is more about understanding pre ice-age human settlements, of which we know nothing

Not sure about squids in particular, but the easiest way isn't necessarily to find remains, but to see negative prints on sediments.

Also a type of collider bias in causal inference, which generates all sorts of Simpsons paradoxes

When it comes to the Americas, the entropy of the entire field of Archaeology is way too high. Up until 5 years believing that humans were there more than 12k years ago was heresy. Today 30k is the accepted number, while some people are pus

Actually upon further reading I realize that the author actually goes deeper into what I thought, so it's not nonsense, it's actually a simplified version of what I tried to write. But I don't particularly like the whole &quo

It's nonsense. The fact that the particle is massive is a direct cause of the fact that the interactions are short ranged. The nuance is this: Naturally, in a field theory the word "particle" is ill-defined, thus the only tru

As a physicist, the moment when everything just clicked was when I realised that connected Feynman diagrams were basically the cumulants of that distribution. Then almost everything in physics is about "what is the characteristic&#x2F

And it's usually discouraged by regulators because it can lead to p-hacking. I.e., with a good enough choice of control I can get anything down to 5% The fundamental problem is the lack of embrace of causal inference techniques - i.e.,

Entropy is a measure, it doesn't create anything. This is highly misleading.

One thing is true about what you said: you're definitely not an expert.

Most of the hard work is actually feature construction rather than monolithic models. And afaik gradient boosting still rules the world

Nope, all critical internal models for pricing and risk management are written on top of SecDB in a language called slang. This package is something so that hedge funds can access GS data APIs

Potential energy is twice the kinetic energy in a stable orbit. Changing the orbit by epsilon/r would require roughly U*epsilon/r energy. Which means that a tsar bomb would only move the moon distance to earth by 10^-10

I'm working on this problem now. It's possible in some sources - whenever the HTML structure is enough that you map it to the feature of interest - but it could also happen that the information is hidden within the text, which mak
