I don’t think Nasdaq is free float based. Also, I would be a lot more pessimistic of the index tracking fund managers’ ability or willingness to find extra shares: their goal is to match the index, not beat it. If the index includes the new

Do you have an example of an algorithm that learns, rather than is trained/trains itself? I don’t really see the boundary between the two concepts.

One thing is fiduciary duty to the shareholders, another is “pleasing the shareholders” as you describe it. Pleasing the shareholders is necessary only when displeasing them means they will sell the stock when there is no buyer. If there is

I may be wrong, but I believe spending time in a deeper gravitational well means you observe everything outside of the well to be happening much faster; at the singularity, the entire future of the parent universe will appear to you as happ

Right--in log scale, the gap has stayed roughly the same until around 1980.

How much do we know about military AI’s capabilities? As in, is there any evidence that the government/military was ahead of big tech on the AI research front?

Presumably, the energy output from a fusion plant (if we ever get there) should be self-sustaining. For starting up, I’m guessing the plant can draw power from the grid itself, no?

To divert an asteroid, you’d attempt to ablate a part of it, rather than just rely on its reflectivity: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid_laser_ablation I imagine that tracking an asteroid and continuously point

And just a clarification that some (many) ETFs also distribute dividends on a quarterly basis as they accrue them from their holdings, so technically you want to be looking at the total return indices.

I don’t even think this is satire. This feels like the kind of made up stories that children come up with (and place themselves at the center of).

I think you’re looking at a geekbench 4 score, vs v5 in the post. It seems that this machine performs significantly better than an XPS 15.

Edit (sorry, I don't think I can edit my own comment at this point): I think I was missing the point. Storing user data for 3 years after verification seems unnecessary for the user. So yes, it does sound like some data-mongering f*cke

I never wanted Equifax to have any of my data, and yet here we are. After the breach, I wouldn’t ever be a paying customer to them if I had a choice. (Indirectly, I am still a “customer” in the sense that they probably still have my data an

This is cool, in a somewhat masochistic sense. Some of us do this kind of mental math all day long. But here’s a proposal on how to extend this. Background/motivation: Many people think about that one btc purchase they almost made, but

Every night at midnight, I have a script that sends me a blank email with a smiley face as subject. It’s a nice way to very quickly distinguish emails from today, yesterday etc. and also to stunt my prior that every email I get is going to

It seems that the commenters in this thread have at least two views on what you call “changing the rules.” The fact of the matter is, no one guarantees you 100% uptime access to the markets. I think this episode should be a lesson for every

Do you have evidence that Citadel is RH’s prime brokerage? Being an executing broker or a trading counterparty or paying for order flow has nothing to do with being a prime brokerage or clearing RH’s trades.

I’m not a fan of Robinhood, but everything that vkou has been saying is true. My understanding is that Robinhood is self-clearing, not that Citadel is its prime brokerage. The clearing margin requirement came from NSCC. Clearing margins CAN

Out of curiosity, does anyone know of an actual company that's bought and uses one of these chips (say, the CS-1)? What's the use case? They mention "low latency datacenter inference." Surely, the Facebooks and Amazons i

It all depends on the contract and the jurisdiction you’re in. Definitely get a lawyer that specializes in employee compensation (in the US, those would generally be in the field of what is called “labor law”), ideally get the opinion of la

Friends from Palantir have seen the data that Plaid downright steals and sells for money. Except they don’t “steal” it, they just use the login credentials and pillage anything that’s available online. It’s disgusting. I wish consumers knew

I would encourage you to be a bit more open-minded when judging people with technical issues. Debugging WiFi or microphone might seem intuitive to you, but there’s a good amount of people out there that are experts at coding or data science

I strongly disagree. Did Usain Bolt’s performance make his races less exciting to watch? Did Michael Schumacher make Formula 1 less exciting to watch? Michael Phelps? If anything, these superstars, along with the proper recognition, is what
