Classy of him to refrain from pointing out that he probably had trouble getting people to take his ideas seriously at least partly because he was black.

I have. He's a fraud.

All a rise means today is that the markets had priced in a higher hike than the Fed posted.

If you read further in the thread, you'll see that Rose created a false impression with [2].

What are some of the most surprising complexities?

Surely that's not true until someone achieves human-level performance with their entry.

How is it that in the 2:1 environment developers aren't held accountable when problems turn up in code they're responsible for?

Video was cut off after 2 minutes for me, with a message saying "You are previewing this course."

Yeah, you could just pump CO2 into the atmosphere for a couple of centuries until greenhouse effects make it uninhabitable.

I think he means he'd like to be able to irretrievably destroy all records of an email.

At the end of Lemma 2, "[9, Th. 8, (39)]" seems to be referring to corollary 1 of Theorem 8 on page 70 of [1], equation (3.30). Maybe "(39)" is meant to be "(30)".

Their argument for Theorem 1 seems not-crazy, and quite accessible.

From a purely scientific perspective the rational response would be to assume it's a yet-to-be-accounted-for experimental artifact, but no one in the reporting chain has an economic incentive to approach it that way.

Good to see someone getting some press for a negative result.

If I was a VC assessing a firm, I would love to get a look at their git repository, and not just for due diligence. I would know where their demos are inadequate, which would be very useful for bargaining.

It's fascinating to me that many startups put their crown jewels on github, a company with an inexplicably high valuation due to investments from some of the most successful VC companies. Don't they worry about exactly the kind of insider trading you're talking about, or worse?

Same goes for slack.

I doubt they're dead since the last entry in the chronicle is less than a month old, though this article may kill them.

In case anyone else is interested in the source code, it's here: https://github.com/wiki-ai/ores

Yes, it's absolutely horrendous on mobile. On my laptop it's fine.

Why wouldn't I want to hear that?

This was not its reputation BITD.

The only plausible presidential candidate who'll put a stop to these kinds of abuses is Bernie Sanders. Be sure to vote for him in your Democratic Primary.

Thanks for linking this. Much better source than the OP.

You should file a bug report.

Isn't that what control rods do?

Who mandates that the APIs are written in python? It sounds like no one else develops them. Could you start writing them in Haskell or something?

> a p-value is the probability of getting your experimental results given that your hypothesis is wrong.

That's a common misconception. Actually it's the probability of getting your experimental results given that your null hypothesis is right.

Be nice to have some citations.

Man, that is a such a beautiful result. Ugly implications, but I love the analysis.
