my experience of trading and speculation has been the opposite. very little profit (or zero or negative profit) in return for an extraordinary amount of effort and expertise. see Acura/Honda NSX trading.

Oh wow, I read this story as evidence that neural nets are not the future back when I was an undergrad studying machine learning. Maybe I should have followed my instincts back then because even then neural nets seemed intuitively very inte

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that's not a thing. Lying to the court is a routine part of litigation, and there is no penalty or sanction for it - especially not against the lawyers themselves.

That is a LOT of words dedicated to something that the author thinks is "ridiculous." People like this never pause to ask why they spend so much time thinking about things that they say are ridiculous fictions. I can say this beca

TLDR: Lobbyists are going to use AI to ply their nefarious trade more effectively. In order to stop them, Congress needs to stop passing "monolithic, multi-thousand-page omnibus bills voted on under deadline" and instead a bill sh

They're being generous by saying it was merely a lack of competence. If they were in another mood, they could say that their aircraft was deliberately attacked in an act of war.

How bank runs were historically handled in the US is that the depositors lost all of their money. Banks runs are a recurring problem that have a history going back hundreds of years. That's changing now though, the SVB depositors will

Yes. I learned that the VC industry, at the company management level and even at the venture capital management level, had a very poor understanding of banking. Some crazy percentage of VCs used one particular small regional bank for their

Oh right, I forget, they merely announced that they had liquidated their entire AFS book at a $2 billion realized loss? That makes more sense, the accountants wouldn't have allowed to sell the HTM securities. That doesn't make it
