Having worked in hedge funds for the last decade, this seems to miss the mark. Firstly we often reward skillstacking ie a technical person later becoming a trader. The more one person knows the better. These people are rare though hence the

Bret Victor is a real visionary in the field, and everyone should check out his website worrydream.com, for his interesting presentations on interactive programming. Saying that, I can't see how this dynamicland is going to work practi

Property law is abysmal in the UK, the fact that the squatters stuck up a sign on the wall naming their rights to occupy, just shows what a joke it is. I dont agree with property being left empty, but there is due process to these things,

I have to say, watching this car crash in real time has ironically made me browse reddit more, just to watch the drama unfold. It's the same with twitter, these community sites have become so big, that the actions they take themselves

It looks like they took a profiler to the training process of today's largest AI models. Firstly it'll be a universal low level software layer, that can run on top of any cloud hardware, which can then be developed against to enab

It's poor thinking on them to only provide a talking interface. I don't think I've encountered that personally, there is always a way to use the keypad - which I will always use anyway, even though they understand my voice,

Not at all. This means we are no long tying production quality of a game to how much money the developers have access to. It enables real creativity. Right now do you not think the AAA market is satured with yet another first person shooter

There is a lot of content in games. The AAA games can have single artists work on one character for the whole game. The author even says it saved him 5 days, and look how small the scene is he's talking about! AI has the ability to s

There is a simple explanation for why humans tend to say how things could be 'better', when you ask them how things could be 'different'. It's even one of the core beliefs of buddhism: life is suffering. To unpack t

The issue is we have to pre bake decisions into the application, and until the application is literally an AI this is as good as it gets. When building a program 'errors' occur all the time, but we make design decisions to handle

Psychology has always been part of the market, and this event can be explained by Soros' theory of reflexivity - that the stock market leads the fundementals, not the other way around. Once you forgo the efficient market hypothesis (an

As a .Net developer I've.. never seen people write code at work like this. This looks like a hefty amount of boilerplate to achieve practically nothing. I'm guessing this guy learned Asp.Net first.

People forget the stock market is just a device to turn money into more money, which creates (and requires) sustained bubbles. There will be a blow off the top from time to time, but this just gives you a chance to buy at lower prices and s
