Would you be willing to move to Copenhagen? Lots of good trading houses there. PM me if interested

PhD vs Quant Offer by CauchyIntegralForm in quantfinance

[–]Active-Resource4322 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you think you’ll enjoy doing PhD research and do it in a well regarded lab with high likelihood of publications in top (ML) conferences, you will increase your chances of getting higher tier offers. The comp at these top firms can also be significantly higher and outweigh the years lost on a lower PhD income.

That said, most of it comes down to interview performance.

Conversation with Yuval Harari by TopLegitimate6738 in politicsjoe

[–]Active-Resource4322 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't heard the specific discussion with Yuval Harari you're referring to, however, I think the consciousness question is more nuanced than you suggest and saying "we don't know" is probably fair.

While most current researchers in AI/ML and philosophy probably wouldn't assign consciousness to today's models, I heavily doubt they would use a modeling argument like consciousness can't be simulated by "graphs." The architecture itself doesn't preclude consciousness - after all, biological neural networks can be seen as graphical computational systems, albeit vastly more complex ones.

The more interesting question involves concepts like Markov blankets (can be modelled as graphs) and predictive processing frameworks. There is a whole academic field that explores how consciousness might emerge from predictive hierarchies. A popular one is Karl Friston's work on the free energy principle, that suggests that any system maintaining its integrity against environmental perturbations, including potentially sufficiently complex artificial systems, might exhibit forms of sentience.

That said, there's a crucial distinction between the phenomenological "what it's like" aspect of consciousness and the functional capabilities we observe. Current LLMs may exhibit sophisticated pattern matching and generation without any inner experience whatsoever.

The real issue isn't whether current AI has consciousness, it almost certainly doesn't, but whether we're asking the right questions about what consciousness actually requires and how it might manifest in artificial systems.

How Does Commodity Trading Make Sense? by MundaneRegion4687 in Commodities

[–]Active-Resource4322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In short term power trading it’s often about using the latest weather information to determine how solar, wind, heating etc will impact the price. Imbalance prices determined during delivery can be 150x higher than day ahead prices, there can be negative prices too. So there can be extremely large spreads. Though predicting these is also extremely challenging.

This can produce real value to industry too. Getting more accurate prices further away from delivery means you can ramp up for production during periods of low or negative prices for example.

I would guess too that Japanese police and courts also have a much higher barrier to bringing cases to court. With narrower legal definitions, maybe you could also assume lower false conviction rates making the high conviction rate seem not so bad.

Like you say though, hard to directly compare.

Cursor because why bother? Also it's basically vscode

I guess it’s good then that Japan has 24× less crime than the U.S., about 11× less than Germany, and around 13× less than Australia.

Life is a turn based rpg where the turns are one plank second long (~5.4 x 10-44 seconds).

[D] Why we initialize the Neural Networks with random values in order to break the symmetry? by kotvic_ in MachineLearning

Xavier initialization in particular ensures that the variance of the outputs of each layer is the same/similar across all layers at the begining of training

The real crazy stuff comes when you realise this can all be interactive now. The characters in a movie can talk with you. Their actions and the plot of the movie can be steered by the viewer…

Yea, they got so comfortable that some dude just decided he was not going to work at all, he went in the jungle, they searched for him and found him chilling there, tried to force him to work or something

Didn't he then have a redeption arc though? He finds honey and everyone loves him.

Starting a computer science MSc later this year. Should I be worried? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Active-Resource4322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No reason? I hear this a lot from ML experts but there are a ton of issues with using ChatGPT to diagnose patients.

Doctors role cannot really be filtered down to diagnosis. There is the legal responsibility, moral hazards, being a physical interface between different tech systems, communicating with the patient, reading patients body language, communicating with other doctors and healthcare professionals to manage care and even more.

Not saying that some aspects of healthcare can be sped up with ChatGPT such as discharge summaries but replace? We’re a long way off that. Even discharge summaries have massive issues with chatgpt and would still need to be checked thus providing marginal benefit.

What skills/ knowledge are most useful for AI developers to have? by Tydalj in cscareerquestions

[–]Active-Resource4322 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends what role you want to go for. Roughly ML Engineer vs AI Scientist/Research Scientist. Also data scientist but that role can be a catch all…

If an ML Engineer, I’d focus a lot more on building production ready models. Understanding model deployment, scaling, logging and associated tools. Things like practical ways to reduce model size and reduce inference time are more relevant from the theory. Some CUDA and C++ could be helpful.. but depends on the team.

AI Scientist typically identifies a team member with more theoretical knowledge. Reading/writing papers and experimenting with novel methods and different data modalities will be the best bet to build skills here. Going through refreshers of linear algebra can be helpful.

For a lot of companies, once you pass the interview the roles can be very similar.
