I love this topic, but this article is literally just "there exists a paper" without any useful information about the paper aside from the inputs they consider in their model.

The issue isn't even that Cruise was involved in an incident. They were not at fault for the collision and were only involved after a (human) driver launched the victim into the Cruise vehicle. Cruise had their permit suspended because

Not sure if there is a significant benefit, but I think its sort of Andrej's specialty as an educator to build things out from first principles. He has a habit of sharing his "from-scratch" version of important papers/me

It seems like an interesting topic, but this is the academic equivalent of turning a 30 second youtube video into a 15 minute presentation with intro, requets for engagement, outro, journal of feelings and learning, etc. The result is an av

As a former employee, I think this is exactly what happened. A handful of people made out big while keeping up appearances. The closer you get to the executive-level, the faster the turnover rate. I've never seen that before in ~10 com

So who is the primary benefactor of this Pork? Seems like this hasn't already been done is because it isn't profitable or scaleable like software is. It's not like there is a shortage of investors in technology.

My Dyson vacuum cleaner has a mechanism that can steer in pretty much every angle that isn't gimbal locked. If we're still talking about things you could do without regard to practicality, it could steer in 360 degrees in a RWD.

A professor of mathematics noticed that his kitchen sink at his home leaked. He called a plumber. The plumber came the next day and sealed a few screws, and everything was working as before. The professor was delighted. However, when the pl

I would be a lot more interested in a technical article than hearing about the history of Netflix.

How did you transition your email address? I've wanted to get off, but I can't do that without wiping all of my previous conversations or losing contact with many people.

Seems kind of rudimentary. Namely > (sign(delta(volume, 1)) * (-1 * delta(close, 1))) That's crazy. Would be interesting to see WTF a "mega-alpha" actually does using these strategies.

I think getting your source file into Github and having it go through peer-review is the best way to avoid these types of issues. Also changing the diff format from 'diff-by-line' to 'diff-by-word' improves readability a

Its weird because the only people who are going to respond to this type of criticism are people who were so invested in Infinite Jest that they will read this lengthy critique. So its going always going to be extremely biased and poorly rec

Think you're putting too much focus on the shoe. I've had a $40 pair of shoes for nearly 8 years without a resole for when I want comfort. Climbing V6 without issues (at least not because of my feet).

Fat chance, there’s hundreds of papers and tens of thousands of attendees at NeurIPS every year. Less than 5% of these people will make 7 figures yearly.

Yamaha (and probably others) sell pianos with light up displays and keys to help people learn to play piano. Probably most snobs will tell you it’s a terrible way to learn and you’re not going to sound any good playing the piano like guitar

I mean heaps of money is relative to a college student fresh out of high school. Everyone I personally know who went that route seriously regrets it and hit a glass ceiling within 3 years of working. Their careers tanked before the rest of

Back in my day, almost exactly 10 years ago, relatively few college freshman had significant experience coding, beyond understanding basic syntax (probably <10%). Most of the most blatantly experienced coders were bored for the first cou

Kind of disappointed everyone in that field ended up at Facebook. Seems like they aren't even working on this kind of stuff anymore.

The real story here is incredibly aggressive guerilla marketing on forums written by snobs for entry-level enthusiasts. Schiit bombarded a bunch of subreddits with posts and comments and eventually hit some kind of critical mass.
