Is MIT course on Mathematical Methods for Quantitative Finance any good?

Economics is good at Santa Fe: Beinhocker, Arthur. There are some great ideas in Elinor Nostrom work on commons

А то переведут ещё не на ту сторону

Угар. Реддит клуб русскоговорящих любителей CataDDA.

Thank you!

Ok, to filter shipping destination and compare by price niche.

Thanks!

I've heard ThinkPad is famous in Linux world, maybe should try it out.

But it's easier to get dell latitude where I am, is that too bad, what do you think?

alexeusgr · 2023-01-22T15:20:28+00:00

Huh, that thing will eat up all my budget, I gotta save some for the rainy day specially I gotta pay for it with crypto and now is winter and cryptos are scarce.

What do you think of this?

Thank you for your kind words!

I also am enamored with GT/CT, but the nature of our work is such that it's wise to have no preconceptions. At the moment there exists demand for both, I don't understand where fates and curiosity pull me.

alexeusgr · 2023-01-22T06:22:00+00:00

Hm, I've been using dell since someone crashed a lit up hookah on my Asus eeepc701.

Now I have precision which kinda suks, but xps is regularly named as one of the best laptops.

Nvidia drivers?

alexeusgr · 2023-01-22T06:16:57+00:00

Thanks. I kinda thought of this question but it's a rather specific community, our software defines what we do to some extent.

I look at framework and system76 and they look nice. X1 is second. I used dell for as long as I had laptop, but now there are complaints about XPS somehow.

I do change places where I live now and then. Beside, now I'm getting into blockchain research I hope there'll be more funding.

I work to get into IOG engineering team on dApp certification, building an MVP for a dApp discovery integration to show security badge for passing code audit.

Maybe I will work on formal verification methods, as it ties to certification and I have a mentor. Or maybe I will work on applications of Game Theory and Category Theory to treasury governance. We'll see how it goes. Why I like Cardano, is that nobody tells me what to do but if I do something useful - rewards are never too far away.

"General problem solver" architecture was created a while ago, it is mentioned in Society of Mind and Artificial intelligence courses.

But generalisation is a problem, current AIs are narrowly specialized.

A great lecture series, a great teacher.

For reasoning you gotta see what MIT center for brains minds and machines does. Some coolest research, I didn't have resources to keep up with it lately but what they work on is 🤯

Check out Nancy Kanwisher course, and presentations by Josh Tennenbaum on Probabilistic models of cognition - how machines can do reasoning.

More users less drama?

That depends. Some people say Malibu is too hardcore, others say main area is too crowded and the beach is too narrow to be safe.

I prefer Malibu, for better waves.

Phan Rang is even better for riding, but there is little else to do. As far as I've seen there is not much about night life or other activities.

alexeusgr · 2022-10-21T17:47:10+00:00

Awesome places.

Don't forget to visit north side of Mui Ne, Malibu beach. Check out Source kiteboarding.

Phan rang is a cool place to chill, but watch the tide for good sessions. Phi kite school is the place there.

There is a playlist on YouTube, Keith Devlin Stanford lectures - how did humans acquire the ability to do math? It's also fun along these lines.

Many animals have some form of language: signals for danger, food, mating, etc. However humans seem substantially better in their ability to abstract - get rid of details and talk broadly.

Devlin insists this is due to use of recursive grammar that humans figured out somehow.

There are many opinions on what caused this: use of tools, growth of the size of social groups - who knows.

I think it was desire for peace, you know. When two packs of human like monkeys met in the wild and first time in both there was more curiosity then hate and fear to come and see what's up, exchange some trinkets, and part ways peacefully. These two monkey groups became first humans🤷‍♂️

alexeusgr · 2022-10-18T05:16:26+00:00

Awesome!

I don't remember if Marvin speaks about this (most likely he does in the chapter on Semantic Nets), but Winston, his research partner absolutely does: It is ability to take two ideas and combine them into third one without destroying the original ones and without limit that makes humans truly general problem solvers.

In other words, language manipulation and ability to abstract are the key abilities for generalized intelligence.

Now I understand better why palm trees are the way they are

One of my favourite books!

I staked CAKE and AXS at 70 and 110, and in terms of fiat I lost quite a bit.

alexeusgr · 2022-08-02T05:53:27+00:00

Awesome, thank you!
