The relationships among common probability distributions through limits, special cases, and transformations.
Examples include the binomial approaching the normal as n → ∞ (μ = np, σ² = np(1 − p)), Poisson as the limit of binomial (λ = np, n → ∞), exponential as gamma(r = 1), uniform as beta(α = 1, β = 1), and Cauchy as t(ν = 1).
These insights guide statisticians in choosing appropriate models and approximations for data analysis in finance, epidemiology, and engineering.

"Learn from your own latents, not tokens: A Sample Complexity Theory"
This paper explains why data2vec and JEPA can learn with much less data.
They showed that when data has hidden hierarchy, token prediction becomes harder as the hierarchy gets deeper. But latent prediction keeps the learning problem simple at every level.
Which suggests that models may learn faster when they stop predicting raw tokens and start predicting their own abstractions.
@a1zhang this shit is so annoying man. 'recursive language models' you mean putting your agent in a for loop. wow. incredible work man. truly groundbreaking. i'm sure you were the first person to think of this
Fuckers in the lecture hall telling me, always on the goddamn CFA forums

He, he, they say ol' Ben just makin' it up
Shut the fuck up
Y'all CFAs ain't know shit
All y'all motherfuckers talkin' about

Net-nets ain't growth
Net-nets a relic"
Shut the fuck up
Y'all don't sit with these tickers

Bhai been compounding quietly since fuckin' Showa era
Motherfucker, stop fuckin' playin' 'em like that
Them DCF savages out there with they terminal growth rates
If I catch another motherfucker talking
sweet about "quality compounders at 40x earnings"
I'm fucking beatin' they ass with Security Analysis
I'm not fucking playin' no more
