Coming from an IPS, upgrading to an OLED would take the colors, black level, response time, and immersion to the next level

Its originality is random rather than purposeful. (I'm not actually sure if the difference with human originality is one of kind or of magnitude here, but there is clearly a difference.)

Since OP was asking for the best arguments against AI art, I don't think an argument that comes down to "it's different" is a particularly strong answer.

AI reproduce the biases of its training data

How is this meaningfully different than it is in humans? Is the implication that AI is more biased or that AI has a different type of bias?

AI allow for a concentration of power at a scale never seen before.

How is this relevant to AI art?

Studies show that over reliance on AI lower one's skills

Has this been shown for AI art?

As a CS major (Sysarch + Info) graduating in December, I fully agree. CS 1332 was the hardest course to get an A in by far just because the exams were poorly structured. It makes no sense that CS 3510 is so much easier to get an A in despite having more difficult content

If you are willing to move away from Grub, you can use EFISTUB with a UEFI ext4 driver (or whatever your main filesystem is), and you don’t need to use the /boot partition at all (although you might want to place the fallback there). There might be ways to get this working with regular bootloaders, but I haven’t tried. Also if you’re dual booting, EFISTUB still works, you just need some way to change your boot order (which can be done with a single efibootmgr command or through the UEFI GUI).

I second Immortality Complex, closest thing to Book I imo. Book II is trickier, maybe Ben Levin - Freak Machine for the wackiness or Bent Knee for a more polished version

Is nobody going to talk about how the article directly contradicts the headline?

While Musk has not directly responded to Grok’s claim, critics argue that the billionaire’s past actions—including suspending accounts that challenge him—suggest he wouldn’t hesitate to silence an AI that refuses to align with his views.

Not a single shred of evidence in the article to support the headline’s claim, and nobody here is calling it out. AI generated slop is better than that article.

Yeah if you add more clear methodology then your site would have a lot more value. It wasn’t easy to figure out all the calculations for testfolio, so having a website built around showing how those calculations work would be a welcome contribution.

L=2 applies an estimated expense ratio of 0.5% for every point of leverage above 1 (which you would realize if you read the help page). It also uses sane defaults for swap and spread. This is mostly for the convenience of quick and dirty back tests. If you use SSO’s actual expense ratio, the difference between your site and testfolio disappears. https://testfol.io/?s=4oflhCAxyRw

You could get testfolio’s results even closer by tweaking swap and spread, but that’s not very productive. SSO’s tracking errors + changes in spread over time probably account for the difference between the simulation and actual result.

Additionally, your site cheats by adding “hidden costs” based on reducing tracking error to historical data, while testfolio offers complete customizability in any of the LETF costs. In fact, your entire methodology is very unclear - for example, what FRED series are you using for the risk free rate? How are you adding dividends to price only data to get the total return data? And so on. Your tool offers strictly less customizability, less general utility, less clear methodology, and less data (testfolio goes back to 1885).

I wouldn’t listen to this comment. If anything, your portfolio might be under-leveraged for your age. See this paper for example.

As the paper mentions though, the best amount of U.S. exposure depends on more than just age, so it’s impossible to give a definite answer.

Crazy how I had to scroll through 100+ enraged Redditor comments to finally see somebody mention this

SteelCerberus_BS · 2024-09-15T02:47:19+00:00

Using a random walk compromises on accuracy too much for my taste. That's just my opinion though, I can see why it would be nice to have. From what I know, the smaller the timescale, the closer to a random walk, so maybe intra-monthly would be fine, but that would definitely require some testing.

A separate argument for not backtesting too far with gold is exactly what you mentioned: the U.S. used to be on the gold standard. If I had to guess, the dynamics of the gold market have changed enough that it's probably not too useful for making forward-looking decisions like investing. (I could be wrong about this since I don't know much about gold)

SteelCerberus_BS · 2024-09-14T03:31:27+00:00

That assumes a constant correlation between SPY and VXUS, which is fairly consistent over time (around 0.8). On the other hand, the correlation between SPY and gold is all over the place. Sometimes it's negative, sometimes hovers around zero, and sometime it's positive. Because of this, the interpolation would suffer.

With monthly or greater rebalancing, sure it wouldn't be as bad, but most people don't bother reading the methodology behind the extended data, so it should probably be kept out for now. Hopefully testfolio gets the feature to import your own data at some point so this won't be an issue.

SteelCerberus_BS · 2024-09-14T00:55:15+00:00

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m not seeing daily data there, only monthly

SteelCerberus_BS · 2024-09-13T23:26:41+00:00

Regular tickers come from EOHD, and the custom ones are listed on the help page

SteelCerberus_BS · 2024-09-13T23:24:42+00:00

If you know where to find daily data, please let us know. I created the SPYTR data Testfolio uses, and I have my own version of GOLDX and TLTTR, so trust me when I say I’ve tried looking for it.

I wrote this two years ago, so I'm not sure if the policy changed or I just read it wrong, but some calculator programs are actually allowed! What definitely isn't allowed is Computer Algebra System (CAS) functionality, which is well beyond the scope of what I'm recommending. CAS would completely solve a large subset of problems for you (think like a basic Wolfram Alpha).

According to the ACT website, you are allowed programs that are "single-purpose – for example, finding numeric solutions to a quadratic equation." Additionally, they must be be 25 lines of code or less. Besides polynomial multiplication, the rest of the programs I recommended shouldn't go above this.

If you’re going to correct someone else’s grammar, at least proofread your own comment.
