I disagree with this bc the math I see LLMs generate (Putnam answers, overworked derivations, subtle wrongness) is about on par with its flat, artless prose

need the diehard french-haters out there to really commit to the bit and start using exclusively pre-Norman vocabulary

with some pleasantly hand-wavy math, you can show fractional kelly (i.e. betting a portion of what the kelly criterion tells you to) shrinks with your uncertainty stmorse.github.io/journal/odds4.…

I'm writing up a blog post about Markdown streaming, because I think it is an interesting topic. I reckon there will be almost a dozen people who agree with me!

i follow cremieux but this is the well-actually trap of being a scientist. it spoils life. superstitions and old wives tales, when employed at arms length, are full of value. maybe you think smelling a potato prevents sea sickness - if it works it works!

got a PC at home with a big GPU on it you only use for gaming ? why not convert it into a personal ML dev machine and remote into it from your laptop ?? had fun doing this and wrote a little blog post: stmorse.github.io/journal/home-d…

gerrymandering is interesting in a math sense bc it is surprisingly hard to define the objective func. we think the obj is like, "districts don't look snakey" (gerry + salamander). but a math approach is to compare vote dists over the space of possible maps, and avoid outliers
