Quote of the Day
"While both humans and algorithms can perform poorly, that should not obscure the inherent advantages of algorithms in certain situations. Rather, we should acknowledge that they have an incredible amount to offer, and embrace them where they are fit for purpose."
(David Siegel, co-chairman of Two Sigma)
