If someone is interested in all this, I would strongly recommend looking into Ed Thorp, he discovered pretty much the same thing earlier, but instead of publishing, he made money with the knowledge...
Great book about all this, 2017 Autobiography:
"A Man for All Markets: From Las Vegas to Wall Street, How I Beat the Dealer and the Market"
This is great, I am also running my own AI investment robots and this is the future and I believe you can absolutely beat the market and even thinking to use similar approach to other structured data sets and create a startup around the idea...
“If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.”
― Warren Buffett
I heard about it when it was about $30 and it looked expensive to me back then and even if I bought some, I wold have sold them long time ago at 2,3,5x as I much prefer the stock market (and even real estate) for investing...
I held on to them for so long because my old laptop’s motherboard died and I had the wallet there. I forgot about them till around 2014, when I looked for them and surprisingly managed to extract them from the hard disk as everything was dead in that laptop not just the motherboard. Then I secured them and forgot about them again until Covid time, when they skyrocketed in value. So I don’t deserve all the credit for holding them, but rather my poor laptop and memory.
Buying bitcoin in 2010 absolutely wasn't inaction, it was a painful process. The problem is identifying when not to do anything. Tell me one thing to do once in 2024 and then forget about it until 2038. Subscription to an AI service? Nah...
if everyone who wish they had bought had bought , the price would have been 50k long ago and crashed to $5 probably equally fast. People missing out is why the price has gone up for as long as it has.
Except at this point, that won't ever happen. I certainly wouldn't ever sell. If it starts heading to zero, I would just start buying as much as I could. I know I'm not the only one.
Hindsight is rough. I wanted to buy some when I was in college living of student loans, they were at $600… I should have use my student loans to buy bitcoin instead of the hobbies I had in college…
True. I have no idea, not even a clue where to start looking for such thing. It seems to me that the best one can do is just diversify, acquire a bunch of stuff that might grow and hold them for 20 years.
Same here, I actually started to buy some at $30 for the heck of it, but the process to buy then was so involved that I gave up and wanted to get back to it later, and never did.
Yep, already got rejected couple of times, even before the AI boom, with my company which clearly falls under "Using Machine Learning to simulate the physical world" and "Explainable A.I." and have the potential to fall under most of the rest...
A lot of YC's material about their selection process centers around the founders instead of the idea. They openly admit that they choose a team and expect you to pivot a few times.
Obviously I don't know anything about you or your ideas and I don't mean to offend but I've typically assumed that a YC rejection means they disqualified the candidate for one reason or another.
Do they give feedback in their rejection? I'm considering applying.
They give zero feedback, so there are way better places to apply if that's all you're looking for.
The truth is the applicants have to have a story that resonates with whoever reviews your submission. Sometimes people jive over a shared problem space, sometimes they just like people who remind them of themselves or who come from "trust networks" they respect. The latter cases are where the bias keeps seeping in.
And just because they don't pick you for an interview doesn't mean you were disqualified forever. A lot of people reapply and have success. There are just so few slots compared to applicants that most don't hear anything.
They sell those, but broadly speaking they're both illegal and ineffective.
The way ALPR systems typically work is that there's a camera running OCR against rectangular objects in frame. What you're asking is whether there's a way for a only human eyes to be able to see the plate. That doesn't exist for obvious reasons. Products that attempt to do this anyway usually try to reduce viewing angles or blur things, but these aren't very effective strategies.
Furthermore, obscuring your license plate for any reason is illegal in every jurisdiction.
