On what data? That's the problem you seemed to have glossed over and why physics-based modeling is never going away. It's not the physics and our ability to accurately model the phenomena, it's obtaining and processing the vast amounts of data. It's a granularity problem, like modeling solid objects in CAE software, the size of the mesh determines the precision of the output, but using a finer mesh requires an exponential increase in the number of equations that need to be solved. Machine learning isn't going to solve what is fundamentally a hardware problem.
Yes and no. Software right now is what is helping to move Infrastructue (server and storage) technology capabilities forward despite the diminishing returns/ending of Moore’s law. Go look at IBM technology...hell, look at what Intel/AMD/NVidia is having to manipulate for their gains. It’s software and GPU’s that are driving AI/ML/DL and and it’s why infrastructure technology matters.
However, you’re right in that current classical based High Performance Computing (HPC and GPU) + AI/ML and Current SW Dev have their limitations (which we’re still not hitting - yet) . That is until quantum computing is unleashed in scale to the market ...which is 3-5 years away from being commercially available to all enterprise companies outside of just a handful that are in private bleeding edge partnerships with the few (less than three) tech companies who actually have Quantum h/w up and going today.

I have to agree with you there BB. It's cases like this where I have to use the end all be all supreme decision tree analysis tool. Brought to you by the NCAA:

I think TCU beats them by 17. UT better be "good"...outside of OU and TCU, they should have no excuse to not win 7/8 games with their eyes closed. But you always have the secret weapon/factor of M. Brown.
I really hope they tank and finally go out and get the coach they need.

Courtesy from the boys at ShaggyBevo...God bless 'em for still having to put up with Mack Brown. I'd be drawing in MS paint as well by now since UT will be lucky to win 8 games.
I hope you all get a good kick out of it...especially the JFF/sumlin portions.

re: Suggested % to contribute to youy 401K?
Posted by toddts on 1/3/13 at 2:17 pm to GoCrazyAuburn
My $.02 is that each and every person should put a min. of 8% in to not only get your company match (if you have one), but to also get used to not "missing" that money.
I personally believe that everyone should max out their 401K...and do it as early as you can possibly afford to. If you are able to contribute to a Roth (ie. don't make too much money where you're not allowed to), I would nail that down and then Trad. IRA next as folks have already discussed in diversifying your taxable vs. non-taxable retirement income.
I also think that we're not too many years away from companies dramatically changing the way they "match" their employees 401K contributions on a large scale. If you look at a recent announcement from a very large US company in December re: the way they changed their 401K match (once a year lump sum in December), you'll see what I mean.

re: Personal Rate of Return from 01/01/2012 to 12/31/2012 is 16.8%
Posted by toddts on 1/3/13 at 2:10 pm to StrangeBrew
My ROR in my 401K this year was part of my long term aggressive growth strategy (I have not changed it much at all over the past 2.5 - 3 yrs). Outside of 2008/2009, I averaged just under 20% yty returns in my 401 K since 2004. I have no bonds or individual stocks in my 401K (those are in my personal and IRA accts) - rather I have a choice mixture of domestic and international growth MF's mixed with large cap based funds (60% or so) then the rest with Mid-Cap (some small-cap) and foreign real estate MF's.
Additionally I've been focusing on "smart" old school buy/hold stocks (see Warren Buffett) that are large stable companies with strong fundamentals at cheap prices - see IBM, Apple (prior to mid-pt 2012), XOM, CVX, Coke and other large/fast growing IT and Healthcare companies. Since I'm 5 months into my International EMBA (@ UNC), I'm also being exposed to a number of other growth oppty's which I plan on taking advantage of in 2013 and beyond (bio-tech, Big Agriculture, small finance).
My background: I'm 31 and been working for a Fort. 15 company for 8 yrs out of LSU. Oh, and I'm a big Money Board lurker and enjoy reading all of you guys' posts - good, bad and the ugly. ;)

Long time TD reader and Money Board fan....here's mine below for the year:
Personal Rate of Return from 01/01/2012 to 12/31/2012 is 21.1%
All with Fidelity - it was a good year in my 401K (above) and matched that growth in my stock portfolio as well led IBM, Apple, XOM and CVX.

Thank you my friend! I'm getting married in Italy and trying to find locations to catch a game or two next month. We have a bunch of tiger fans along with us and they will appreciate this info as well.

re: Stocks...
Posted by toddts on 5/20/10 at 9:55 am to wegotdatwood
To all of the XOM fans out there...so, I bought in a bit at $63 and I'm planning to continue to buy as the price drops. My question is - should I continue to buy every few days/weeks for dollar cost average, or should I just watch this stock's (and industry overall)value drop and wait to get back in (possibly in the low to mid $50's?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Redstick - are you still a buy on LPIH right now at $2.69 +/-?? Or would you wait for it to go down below the $2.50 mark??
Reading your comments in your posted threads, very intriguing and looks like a good find here. Thanks in advance for your insight.
Also, to give you a research project on a company that you may/may not find interesting, check out IRLD. Let me know what you think...

Yes absolutely. I used one and it worked this last year. You have to be able to back up everything on paper but it gets your foot in the door.
Carlsoda - who did you use if you don't mind me asking?
Also guys, did your experiences yield a 1 or 2 page resume as well as a "free cover letter" thrown in as well? Thanks again for the help!
Resume Writing Services - Can they actually help you make more $$?
Posted by toddts on 3/11/10 at 8:47 am
To the Money Talk board gurus and all others, have you all ever used/paid for a professional resume writing service to help you update/clean up your resume at any point in your career? If you did - was it worth it?
Furthermore, whom did you use and how much did you pay? I'm doing my research on if this is/would be worth a $200 - $400 investment at this point in my career (5 very successful consultative selling yrs. at a Fortune 15 company). My goal is to not only clean up my resume, but to have it assist me as I try to jump into my first management position (by clearly articulating my achievements/capabilities/documented successes etc.). This becoming harder for me to do in a concise way on my resume - and frankly, I'm running out of ideas and need some good outside perspective.
Thanks in advance for the insight!

Zilla - looking long term ie. hoping this company can explode if/when cell phone companies adopt this into their products. Iphone having the ability to have a projector (for presentations/movies etc.) would be amazing.
However, I would like to hold off if there is going to be a drop back to the $2 range (or below). Wouldn't that be wishful thinking...
Also, for the XOM fans...is $65 - $68 still a "steal" entry price? What do you guys consider the cealing for buying in? Thanks for the insight guys!

Zilla and MVIS supporters - I've been watching mvis for over a year now and have held off purchasing (even when it was sub $1 range). I'm thinking of taking the plunge now, but is the $2.56 range to highg right now for a plunge or should I wait for it to get down closer to $2? With the success of its technology gaining some press, is $5 the the route this is moving rather than back down to $2?
I know that it's speculation at this point, but thanks in advance for the insight...

Ben was a great guy...was an old friend whom I saw when I came in once a year for a home game. I also had no idea that he posted on TD. His family is great and its just a shame to loose someone tragically like this. Prayers for you Ben and for your family - Live ever Die never...
Who sold off and who bought in w/ CHK over the past 2 weeks?
Posted by toddts on 7/25/08 at 4:26 pm
So, I invested in CHK 12 years ago at around $10 per share. I sold half of my shares at $55 last week and am now waiting for it to go down into the lower $40's before I buy again. Fyi, the reason I did not sell at $74 was because I had my limit at $80 (to bad but it happens).
Did anyone do the same, or have you folks continued to keep buying and are now waiting until CHK goes back to the mid 70's again to sell? Interested in what all you nat. gas guru's will have to say here...thanks for the insight.

I think this will be another great buying opportunity at south of $23 (if it makes it that far again). Like one of the folks said above, I to wish that I did not talk myself out of buying a good chunk at $19 per.
Like Tirebiter said, I think this will definitely continue to be a volatile stock, I just hope it gets down enough again.

BAC still a no-go...?
Posted by toddts on 7/22/08 at 3:15 pm
Two weeks back I asked the board's opinion on buying into BAC. It was around $22 or so then and got down to $18/$19 range last week (btw, I did not pull the trigger). Today, on falling oil prices, its up over 10% to $31 currently (at 4:00 p.m. EST). What is your call now...buy (at current price or wait for it to pull back on oil surge) or are you still suggesting the "don't touch financial markets" position? I have $2K to spend on something...still looking at BAC as a long term investment buy.
Thank you in advance for the insight and opinions!
