Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

EDIT:
I'm removing the image (keeping the original text for posterity), but I just completely got had by someone straight up lying.
It's quite embarrasing, I should've been way more skeptical of someone posting an image without sourcing the original paper. Turns out not only is it not a recent paper at all (published June 2025), not only is that table not saying what he claims it's saying, but the authors have since removed that table altogether from revised versions of the paper!
That's what you get from reposting someone who has "The Finance Newsletter" in his fucking username, couldn't have gone well for me.

Historians definitely stood out to me, but also data scientists. The glorified grammar auto-complete that can’t do math is expected to do statistical analysis??
Most of the routine data analysis has already been "vendorized", AI won't make a difference. Why run an A/B test manually when you can drop Optimizely on to your page and let it run. I mean, /I/ know why I would, but I doubt a PM would.
