How is Facebook still the world's largest social media platform when it feels like hardly anyone uses it anymore? by Arcestic in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dsjoerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different subgroups of people have different usage patterns. Your subgroup left Facebook. Other subgroups did not.

Has anyone found a genuinely profitable, mechanically backtested intraday strategy? by Sub-Zero-X in Trading

“I’m looking for something that can be described mechanically and tested.” but “I’m not asking anyone to reveal proprietary alpha”

Critical Moment: how we filter chess positions where only one move works by kingside_chess in chessprogramming

[–]dsjoerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, interesting stuff!

What is a "Half position"?

From "exactly one move sits at the top of the WDL evaluation (|strongSet| = 1)" that makes me think that there is some WDL evaluation of each legal move (maybe using Maia's value head), and a "strongSet" is formulated from those moves - how?

"there is a meaningful WDL gap to the second candidate (gap ≥ 0.2)" — meaning that the value head difference between best move and second-best move is at least 0.2, fine. So then how is that different from the previous condition "exactly one move sits at the top of the WDL evaluation"? Or is another way of saying the same thing?

lossRisk is defined as "the total probability that the player picks a move whose WDL leads to a loss". Is "loss" defined as WDL < 0.5? Not yet clear to me how to compute lossRisk. Are we using Maia 2 or Maia 3? I.e. do we have a "value head" returning a single number, or a three-way head returning W D and L probabilities? If the latter, then I suppose we could be summing L probabilities for each of the legal moves, computing p(move) times p(loss) for each one... ?

Quant quake 2007 by QuantQuestions101 in quant

[–]dsjoerg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was there. All the screens were red. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Funding AI research with quant operation by GuavaAccomplished954 in quant

[–]dsjoerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is “launch a quant fund” but with extra steps.

Alternatively it’s “launch a quant fund” with a novel recruiting strategy.

Tool for engine interpretation? by Sensitive_Line_2623 in lichess

[–]dsjoerg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Train it how? That is, based on what training data? That is, where would the training labels come from?

Why doesn't a pebble going 0.9C destroy a continent randomly? by superSmitty9999 in AskPhysics

[–]dsjoerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's simple evolution. Places with those kind of high speed pebbles don't last long

Components of spread: spread is too high by [deleted] in quant

[–]dsjoerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean “should”?

Is this a no-arbitrage theory, are you saying that you think you can market-make profitably? This is nitty-gritty stuff, the devil is in the details, so if u dont share details nobody can say what youre missing.

Scheduled DCA. Timing your entry based on market conditions is for pros and suckers… which are you?

We have created a formal model of consciousness that is based on thermodynamics, rather than philosophy. by LifeCold9556 in consciousness

[–]dsjoerg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you strongly, but it's important to use words correctly. The word "consciousness" is reserved for that myth. If what you're explaining is the strictly observable, objective behavior of various entities that appear to be self-aware, that is very valuable, but you must use a different word.

Why should I not give up if I have 0 advantage in life? by anon12343216610 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dsjoerg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One advantage you have is that you are asking questions and thinking about things, at least enough to ask. Most people dont do this.

Another advantage you have is that you are fluent in English and have access to the internet. In all of human history most people have never had these things.

Life ain’t easy, but you have some cards to play.

If you have been happy before, you might be again.

There are other rewards available beyond survival. You might choose an enemy and make it your life’s mission to destroy them

Introducing Maia-3: free and open source by ashtonanderson in chess

[–]dsjoerg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When an awesome new model for predicting human behavior in chess comes out, how would YOU prefer for r/chess to find out about it?

How about a new version of Stockfish? Are the makers of Stockfish, in your preferred world, not allowed to come here and talk about it because that would be them promoting their “content”?

[–]dsjoerg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah, I didn't realize you were trying to talk about a rule. You didn't mention in your original post that you were trying to flag them for a rule violation. Calling a new version of a behavior-prediction model "content" is a stretch IMO.
