I was really impressed with how successful RC is at maintaining an environment where people can learn and grow. Part of that is certainly selection effects- the point of center is self directed growth around programming, and there's an interview process that I assume filters especially hostile people.
But I think the social rules do a lot too, and have been trying to pay attention to the effects on others when someone breaks them at work. No Feigned Surprise is a particularly important one around people who are trying to learn and already a little insecure. It's great when they've learned a new thing, and you want to celebrate that, not meet it with denigration!
How do prediction markets account for interest rates? I feel like I should be willing to pay no more than ~96 cents for a contract that will definitely resolve to a dollar in a year. Who puts up the other 4 cents?
I'm sincerely unclear- is the analysis here that smaller samples (fewer ballots processed by a tabulator) have a higher relative standard deviation than larger samples?
My hunch is that they aren't tailored toward ridiculous images exactly, but if they demonstrated "a woman sitting in a chair reading", it would be really hard to tell if the result was a small modification of an image in the training data. If they demonstrate "A snake made out of corn", I have less concern about the model having a very close training example.
I'm going through Understanding Software Dynamics by Richard Sites now, and it's the first book I've read that covers the practical performance implications of some of these new features, even if briefly.
