It's tricky because if you take the view that rightsholders licenses are necessary for training, it's not clear that the labels hold those rights. If you need the music producer rights, for instance, it's a lot more decentral

I think my comment come of as too literal. It wasn't meant to imply that there is nothing of value to the club experience, but rather that a busy and loud environment like a club may over-highlight the stimulant aspects of the drug and

It's really wasted on clubbers. Much better to be shared on a beautiful quiet day with a loved one. From what I hear.

Agreed. In theory you can claim it back, but it's a major pain in the ass. Some ETF issued outside the US and holding US stocks will do it. Other strategies to avoid this annoyance include: 1. selling on the ex-dividend date and buying

The reason to hold stock is that they return value to shareholders. Stock buy backs are functionally dividends but they are taxed more fairly. They also work better for foreign investors, and are a much cleaner and simpler mechanism than di

This is very plausible. Dividends are silly in a world where you can achieve the same result and save everyone 20% tax by doing stock buybacks instead. It's also silly to strongly differentiate between dividend paying stocks and non di

But it takes an entire network of human neurons to simulate the behavior of an artificial one. There's overhead in translation, but that doesn't by itself mean one is superior to the other as a basic unit.

I wonder if there's any value in picking not one but a couple random directions, and then finding the update in their span. Increases memory consumption but reduces the noise. It could be that the trade-off is best when picking a singl

I skimmed the paper, so I'm not sure I got this right, but my understanding is the following: 1. pick a random direction 2. compute the derivative along that direction using forward-mode differentiation 3. update the parameters along t

One solution which should be on the table is to not prevent it, at which point people stop looking at order book imbalance or volume as a signal. The fundamental question is what is lost if there's no signal in order book data. Does it
