Evals saturating faster is interesting. Do you think this is an indication of RL or training pipelines getting better over time at the labs, or is this primarily an indication of the data / RL-environment industry scaling up over time?

Providing API for building applications that have transactions and help with idempotent producing is really exciting. This will help lower a lot of pains associated with building stream processing systems. Doing it with very little performa

You dont get taxed until you sell. The performance shown here is for a buy and hold strategy.

People expect this market to grow rapidly which is accounted for in the higher valuation.

It may be a non parametric estimate. My guess is that they used loess ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_regression ).

Mining bitcoins may be non profitable, but I recovered my investment in less than 3 months of alt coin mining.

I think even those who are not worried about their next meal are not going to protest this. India has seen so many terror attacks labeled as intelligence failure that any move to beef up the intelligence infrastructure may even be welcomed.

I dont know if bitcoins will ever stabilize or go down to zero but I also believe that no one can be so sure about how a free market is going to behave to just write it off at this moment.

Bitcoins slipped into speculative realm a couple of weeks ago and probably after the crash the speculators will exit the market. A stable bitcoin can easily serve the three functions you listed above. As I said in my first comment this vola

If we get down to the basics I think anything that is a medium of exchange is a currency. So in some circles cigarettes and Tide work as currency. Though these "currencies" are not legal tender.

Given the volatility you may doubt the longevity of bitcoin as a currency, but since you can exchange it for some goods and services it looks like Real Money to me (at least right now).

I think the volume/unit time during the crash is generally higher than during the bubble phase. This can be seen in the steeper slope of price-time graph during declining phase compared to the rising phase of most bubbles. I guess fear is a

I agree that Bitcoins were designed as an instrument to facilitate transfer of value and not as store of wealth. But the example of a transaction you just gave in your post is not how people spend currency. No one converts a currency (100$)

I dont know a lot about Thatcher but when Indira Gandhi's election was overturned by the courts on ground of election fraud she proceeded to suspend elections and civil liberties. I hope that you are correct and we would never see anyone li

This is exactly the same algorithm as the standard one we use : Multiply all possible combinations of digits and appropriately combine the results. This is just the graphical version of writing down numbers.

I read an article today which pointed out how Feynman went around cracking safes during the Manhattan Project. Something fundamental has changed in the society ... Imagine the present if people like Jobs/Woz would have been locked up for ph

As a society we do agree to follow the law and punish those who break them. But remember that the law of the land is not some God given set of laws. Several people broke segregation laws during the civil rights movement and in my view they

Someone who could have contributed very positively to the society just killed himself. We can't reverse that, the best we can do now is to learn from this incidence and try to minimize it in the future. Explaining it away in the name of ins

I genuinely want to know how a conspiracy theorist thinks. I can understand the though process behind believing a vaccine having side effects like autism, or adverse effect on the immune system. But the line of thought that leads one to bel

Are you serious? I think he is a very strong man. He rose above petty concerns, like how his masculinity will be judged in a public forum, to forgive his wife and then share the fact.

It may be paid for by some hotel lobby, that does not invalidate the story. (Assuming that the facts and the stories reported are true)

These regulations are definitely not stupid. Hotels keep detailed records of who checked in and out which can be used by law enforcement. If people are allowed to sublease their places they would have to build a similar infrastructure else
