cs702, fantastic comment. I am sorta poking around this area too. I'd be curious what benchmark you're using to evaluate performance amongst these repos? If you're up for it, shoot me an email -- my email is in my profile.

Would turning off iMessage protect from this? Or would the iPhone still process the GIF through SMS somehow...?

Related, are there better representations for music than standard notation (or MIDI)?

I'm wondering what the higher convolution levels could look like, if this was a CNN analyzing an image. Something between a the complete Ableton/Logic export and a MIDI file. Being able to capture the "feel" of a song (or a section within a song) strikes me as an important milestone towards designing really good generative music.

Interesting.

How do you think about backtesting? There are a few short-only shops that specialize in finding frauds. If you get their historical 13-Fs, how would you score against them in terms of precision/recall?

And I guess more broadly, how does alpha with your system compare to a portfolio that holds all short positions by big long/short funds (ex thematic shorts)? Meaning, those guys have full-time humans that focus on this... can you beat them? Very interesting if so.

Anki is paid too. ($25 for the mobile app.)

Very true. I would gladly pay for a feed of financial news, but instead of "clicks" it optimizes on market movement. News articles from sources that, in the past, have predicted market activity.

I.e. "this blog mentioned NYSE:TEVA, and the next day the stock moved materially, therefore site_ranking++". (You'd probably have some TF/IDF saliency metric too, so that a site that mentions all stocks is penalized.)

That’s interesting. Can you make something that’s higher end than the most high end consumer TV?

(If Tesla had to be “a better car that’s also electric”, I think this would need to be “a better TV that’s also private”.)

You could expand the cutoff date by modeling lookalike audiences. A 2018 account that votes on similar things to a 2008 account might be admitted. This affords the moderator an easy “exploration” spigot they can tune up or down.
