As of now, no fly can ever know for sure if it is living in a real world or a simulated one. Must be incredibly depressing

Every person that moves to SF goes to a bunch of tech events in the first two weeks and realizes it's a complete waste of time.

in case y’all haven’t seen it, this chapter on utility functions is excellent reading. kelly betting or not, understanding how utility functions work is crucial in many quantitative fields. i’d also posit that having a good sense of your own utility function can be extraordinarily helpful when thinking through major decisions. understanding other people’s (or agents’) utility functions can help you better interact with those around you. a lack of alignment on utility functions, whether internally or vs the rest of the market, can cause companies and societies to collapse.
Replying to @GraceJTang
Amazingly these people don't believe in Kelly betting and wrongly believe in risk neutrality (see the image below). I wrote a whole section of chapter just to explain how wrongheaded the risk neutral position is. aisafetybook.com/textbook/ap…

insane to suggest that going all-in, even when positive EV on a single bet, would be in any way acceptable as an answer for a scenario designed to test overall expectancy in a long-running repeated game… hate to be a spoilsport, but quant firms would ask you to leave an onsite interview early for this! i know the “all-in” theme is for dramatic effect, but perhaps the script writers could have googled the kelly betting criterion ;)
All in. Every time. Julia Garner and Anthony Boyle star as Caroline Ellison and Sam Bankman-Fried in this limited series about the love scorned prodigies behind the FTX scandal. The Altruists premieres November 19.

so it turns out much of the contents of this essay were already discussed in Chapters 6-8 of The Art of Doing Science and Engineering! not sure if this makes Hamming ahead of the times or if it makes me behind, but highly recommend the book nonetheless
