My understanding is that HFTs - which are highly profitable - likely use some AI-techniques.

(Though I doubt that they are using LLMs - or at the very least, the ones we are familiar with.)

Well-played.

but not calculus or set theory

My computer science curriculum covered calculus - perhaps not as rigorously as the mathematical sciences, but enough for it to be “working” knowledge (personally, I’ve forgotten 90% of it since graduation).

Plus, I am sure a computer science teacher should be at least familiar with these topics, or be capable of picking them up.

That’s basically every trash isekai anime / manga / light novel.

computer scientist / CS teacher, probably the 1960’s

I’m not sure how well of a living they’ve made back then, but surely mathematicians / math teachers were a thing since ancient times.

Randall has known Binod for more than 16 years. A self-described conservative constitutionalist Christian, he blames Joe Biden for Binod’s deportation. “Biden was completely responsible for it. Trump wasn’t,” he said. In Randall’s view, Trump was “just fixing the border”, cleaning up after Biden’s failure to control immigration, and Binod was collateral damage.

Perhaps to mess with bots that scrape content?

Maybe some kind of bot detection is done in the background, and humans are able to pass the check easily when they click on the button. Crawlers, on the other hand, would have a harder time getting through.

I guess this is to prevent others from reposting their content easily.

That’s the joke, no? That they are obviously all different people, but we treat them as one person - with the superhero name Floridaman - who’s responsible for all the weird shit.

I thought the general concensus is that there’s a tech bubble. The only issue is that the market can stay irrational for a long time. I guess Burry is confident that the bubble would be popping in the near future then?

IMO Tesla is another one that’s overvalued.

Fantail. It is pretty cute.

If it has to be extinct, then Deinonychus. It is like the Velociraptor, but is actually big enough to mean business.

Tribalism. Humankind haven’t progress beyond the instincts of having in-groups and out-groups.

Until that happens, there will be discrimination. People would see things in black and white instead of understanding there are shades of gray between.

Agree

Personally, I see this as a variation (superset?) of Conway’s Law

They keep breaking our beautiful games and optimizing the fun out of them!

Or when you are swimming.

Isn’t there a term for them already? “terminally online”

it’s that there aren’t even any realistic theoretical applications.

Here’s the neat thing about research: the researcher themselves may not even know the kind of outcomes their research would bring about in the future.

It is not necessarily a known unknown in which we work towards a theoretical application; it could very well be an unknown unknown.
