A batch of the best highlights from what Tristan's read, .
Emotion is so pervasive and helpful that asking a human to describe what he feels like in a given moment can be a bit akin to asking a fish what it feels like to be wet. And yet, learning to recognize and label emotion is crucial for the behavioral investor because emotions so dramatically impact the way that we evaluate risk, think about money and experience time tradeoffs.

Good software developers learn to limit what they expose at the interfaces of their classes and modules. The fewer methods a class has, the better. The fewer variables a function knows about, the better. The fewer instance variables a class has, the better.

Similarly, if you give GPT-3 a task that's too complex to do in the time it takes to calculate its next token, it may confabulate an incorrect guess. Yet, akin to humans, that doesn't necessarily mean the model is incapable of the task. With some time and space to reason things out, the model still may be able to answer reliably.
