logicslave··on Are the New M1 Macbooks Any Good for Deep Learning?
Most likely there is a bunch of middle management that blocks the innovation. Its a refusal.
logicslave··on Are the New M1 Macbooks Any Good for Deep Learning?
M1 chip is a classic case of some big old monopoly (intel) that refuses to innovate. Probably all the execs over there will get wildly rich while they loot the company and drive it into the ground.
logicslave··on Who Should Stop Unethical A.I.?
A good way to gain notoriety and press coverage is to demonize machine learning. Its a bad feedback loop caused by clickbait
logicslave··on Ask HN: Where do you think retail investing is heading?
I used to work on machine learning data to cleanse and productize data sets for hedge funds. I understand the information access really well. It used to be industry only knowledge that the FED QE will pump the market. Now every retail trader knows it. Alot of things that we are taking for granted now, weren't widespread knowledge previously. Hedge funds have less of an information edge than you think. The insider credit card information they trade off of quickly loses alpha. All of the funds own the same data sets and essentially compete away the profits. Alot of their returns come from pure momentum and trend following, which honestly, doesn't take a rocket scientist. We are only at the beginning of the proliferation of information.
logicslave··on Ask HN: Where do you think retail investing is heading?
Traditionally hedge funds have an information advantage. Retail investors will eat that edge as the internet gives everyone huge amounts of information at their fingertips. We will see the rise of extremely wealthy reddit traders

logicslave··on Ask HN: What is the best way to spend $1000 to improve your productivity?
I would spend it all on one monitor
logicslave··on Ask HN: Should I leave my job at a FAANG to pursue a PhD?
I would move into a research engineer position at a well respected company. Like FAANG. From there you can move into more industrial research oriented roles. Avoid a PhD unless you have gotten into a top program, or you have a specific research goal already in mind.
logicslave··on Ask HN: Where to go after becoming a senior dev?
Alot of the people hired at FAANG arent that talented. They just studied hard for the interviews. Its a myth. The long term payout is worth the months of study
logicslave··on Ask HN: Where to go after becoming a senior dev?
FAANG -> retire
logicslave··on How did Twitter become a politically relevant platform?
Trumps campaign put twitter on the map.
logicslave··on What Google recruiters look for in a technical resume
ALL. THAT. MATTERS. IS. LEETCODE.

logicslave··on Me and ADHD
Yes but they interact with the same customers over long periods of time. I hate to tell you, but people can come to conclusions about the world. Its not a walled garden. I can see with my own two eyes what happens.

Go ahead and take legal cocaine though, hope your post helps you sleep at night

logicslave··on Me and ADHD
I personally took it for a long time, have a few pharmacists in my family. General life experience along with many examples witnessed around me lead me to believe that there is no free lunch. The focus you get comes at a price
logicslave··on Me and ADHD
How long have you been taking it? The cracks will show years down the road, not initially.

logicslave··on Ask HN: What field has the most objective, quantitative evaluation of skill?

logicslave··on The nihilism of r/wallstreetbets
Wall street bets is just exposing the facade of wallstreet. As more information about investing becomes available, hedge funds and investors will look increasingly less sophisticated. Platforms like Robinhood will erode their edge by increasing liquidity, lowering transaction costs, and providing access to more exotic investments and financial derivatives.
logicslave··on r/wallstreetbets set to private after increased media coverage
WSB has been a fountain of wealth for me. They actually do move the market, everyone who has taken notice and jumped on the hype train has done extremely well for themselves. I hope it continues, then I can leave my job forever
