100% agree. Time series forecasting is really bad and there are some theorems that say it is *impossible for large class of series to be forecasted by more than a small number of steps..turning into a straight-line, meanwhile if you have say a handful of important day indicators of the same signal that are proxies, you can recover pretty much exact curve. Better to spend compute in my opinion or variable learning approximate Xt -> yt mapping than the X_t-4..n -> X_t mapping...

I think the thing is.. sorry Grant, but "motivated understanding" won't come from videos, but writing. Solving things too, but a video can only go so far.

""But I also promised several other things to EPSRC: firstly, that I would be making pull requests to Lean’s mathematics library, adding fundamental objects from modern number theory; this is ongoing. And secondly, and perhaps most importantly, that I would be creating a dynamic document enabling humans to explore the modern proof. My guess is that it is unlikely that Anthropic are going to do this; they will feel that their job is done with the formalization (and they did not formalize the modern proof anyway)."" lol if you say so buddy...

OCR makes sense, but it is another asking for a summary. It is not there yet, gave a lot of incorrect details.

My personal opinion is that the procrastination the guy is experiencing is due to an underlying mental health challenge

We need this lawsuit against X, formerly known as Twitter. That's where it's really bad.

Though, the saddest thing is that it seems like the U.S citizens, (i.e ANY of tiktoks 160 MILLION US users) have absolutely no say in the operations,a yet we actually interact with the app not these old people in Congress. The fact that Biden so swiftly signed the bill too makes me frustrated as I want to vote for him, but he keeps doing or okaying things that are counter to my values.

The algorithm's novelty and recommendation accuracy is so far beyond what other competitors like Google, Snapchat, and Meta have that this seems like a coordinated effort by the private sector to push forth their mediocre products and centralize social media service which I absolutely DETEST.
