@ApuSabiha @AgustinLebron3 Is the coclusion then that my coffee matter less and less?

@AgustinLebron3 If scientific discovery is so valuable, then why do society pay teachers, PhDs, postdocs, etc so poorly?

[micro giraffe @micro_giraffes]

@AgustinLebron3 This is a crazy suggestion, but what if ... they instead answer to the same laws as everyone else? For example:
- Hacking = Crime
- Stealing IP or Copyright = Crime
- Fake accounting = Crime
- Stealing Math Results = Plagiarism

@AgustinLebron3 Step 7. Collect investor money and try to profit from it all.

@pmddomingos The real problem here is that they will start to gatekeep ALL enterprise software.
Could not convince your boss that AI didn't make you more productive? Then good luck convincing them that you don't need to pay big bucks for a mythos audit.

@ChShersh Many people confuse this problem with the secretary problem (upper bound unknown).
If you draw 100K on your first try, you stop. If you draw X and have N tried left, the probability do draw a higher number is 1 - (X/100K)^N. So, draw if Emax = (100K/2 + X/2)*(1 - (X/100K)^N > X.

@quantymacro 3,4,5,6,7 are hobbies that could actually make you money one lucky day.
Coding up predictors and see them fail in backtest is another.

@leashless "The ability to speak does not make you intelligent",
but for some reason all the AI enthusiasts are convinced otherwise.

@quantymacro Great book, but all theory and very little practice.
