Not sure. I'm guessing interest rate stuff will mess with anything with bond holdings, so that probably had stuff to do with it. Other than that.. I don't know if I can convey a big enough shrug in text form.

They likely were using a full retirement fund, like VTINX or Vanguard Target 2030 or something like that. All of them tanked in the end of 2021 up to target 2060. Even my shares in the Total Bond Index tanked then, and those are supposed to be as low risk as possible, literally.

But did Das Boo Schitt get a Michael Bay adaptation? Also... Why does Michael Bay own the rights to skibidi toilet now? What timeline did I wake up in?

Our cats use it to beg for treats. Very rarely do I see them on it and not meowing for attention.

Which end? The main story is just a narrative device, in fact you shouldn't really obey the narrator at all. Calling any end "The End" doesn't make sense in the context of the game, really. Unless you just broke out of the mind control facility three times then called it quits? That end is supposed to be non enticing so that you try literally anything else before putting it down. I think the going insane end sticks with me the most. Although the game dev commentary in the recent release is fun.

This is why the machine learning community will go through ArXiv for pretty much everything. We value open and honest communication and abhor knowledge being locked down. This is why he views things this way. Because he's involved in a community that values real science.

ArXiv is free and all modern science should be open. There were reasons for publications in the past, since knowledge dissemination was hard, and they facilitated it. Now the publications just gatekeep.

Yeah. Definitely fair on the probably not pure intentions part as well, but I'm frequently too quick to give the benefit of the doubt, even after all this time.

I'm sorry if this conversation is rough for you.

The term AI is older than the idea of machine learning. AI is a rectangle where machine learning is a square. And deep learning is a unit square.

Please, don't muddy the waters. That's what caused the AI winter of 1960. But do go after the liars. I'm all for that.

/prəˈrɒgətɪv/ Huh. I guess usually when a schwa and a rhotic is involved, my dialect drops it. I pronounce it /prˈrɒgətɪv/ which could be romanized to pur-ROH-guh-tiv. But there's no actual separation between the u and the r there.

As a cat owner, can confirm cats are always bad. The best bad decisions I've made, are my two little fuzz balls. And I hope they're happy with me as well.

They are the reason we don't have a Christmas tree anymore.

From my experience with YYZ, they won't start boarding the next flight until around the time you're scheduled to land (or at least not until after the plane was supposed to leave), and they WON'T declare a delay or tell anyone waiting at the gates what is going on.

Oh and don't ask the customs people any questions or they might try to find a way to punish you. They refused to tell us that we were waiting fifteen minutes in customs because they failed to warm up the machine before telling people to get in line for that machine.

Never again YYZ. I thought America had bad airports...
