I think in a true efficient market there would be no arbitrage between renting and buying. There would just be oscillations around an equilibrium. I would suspect permits/zoning and whatnot that cause inefficiency to…
I think this is a real problem in the West. Consider how much brain power and resources have been spent on quant finance and crypto now in the past 20 years. Imagine if all those resources had been spent on something…
I am still remote but I think you are spot on. I hate the office but I will be back in as many days as possible as soon as possible. I am not going to be part of an out-group to an in-group that contains the people who…
Instead of "AI Warfare" what if we come back to reality and say machine learning driven warfare? It is a lot of nothing. You have to conflate science fiction with reality because reality is a non-story here. I worry we…
What proof is there that I am generally intelligent in the same context we want computers to be in order for AGI to be true? Imagine how much farther the field would be if we stopped wasting resources on this fantasy…
Exactly. The irony to me is no one really wants price discovery in order for volatility to be reduced so that crypto can actually function as money. Function as money in the sense of signing a year long apartment lease…
To me the easiest way to understand social media is to read Freud's Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego. It is a brilliant book as it is really just Freud commentating on The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind…
Yea this article sounds like a good strategy on how to get correct answers on a test of things you don't understand. I just think the categorization of "textbook" is nonsense to start with. Of course you want a book…
I think the main problem is we think that power laws are not natural and that nature distributes everything on a normal distribution. That is true for the height of humans. Most other things with humans, not so much.
Isn't the problem though that any time you introduce a threshold the threshold gets gamed? A tax on people making $400k a year causes a giant spike in people making $399k a year. I think no matter what you do, bad…
No doubt. I love it so much. I turn off all the desktop effects but translucency and then it is just instantly responsive and beautiful. I can't even imagine using anything else at this point.
How can wanting to know the origins of this pandemic not be scientific? The idea of not wanting to know is just bizarre to me. I feel like people are so wrapped up in the political sport/game that it is almost like…
China was already way past this by the late 90s. This is old thinking. Same battlefield with different technology. The war that changed everything was the 1st Gulf War. 20 years ago they could see how stupid it was to…
