What it does

Correlated uncovers surprising connections between seemingly unrelated things, and you can help by answering the weekly poll. At the end of the week, we'll tally up all the poll responses and compare the results to all of the previous polls. Check back to see which answers have the strongest correlation. I would like to get, or I have gotten, laser hair removal treatments. "Pretty much the best website ever."

    Find the 10 highest and 10 lowest correlations to any stock2022 · betagainst.fun · ▲217

    During the start of the year I was thinking how could I bet against certain stocks (in my case mainly Tesla) without using derivatives and the risks that come with them. After I had success betting on the oil price with a highly correlated investment fond, I came to the conclusion that negative correlations could be used to bet against the price of other assets. Unfortunately, it is not easy to find correlations between assets if you don't know which assets to compare in the first place. So I created a website where you can find the 10 highest and 10 lowest correlations of certain assets.

    I recently found myself computing the similarity between lots of very high dimensional vectors (i.e., sentence embedding vectors from LLMs), and I wanted to try some more powerful measures of similarity/dependency than just Cosine similarity, which seems to be the default for everything nowadays because of its computational efficiency. There are many other more involved measures that can detect more subtle relationships, but the problem is that some of them are quite slow to compute, especially if you're trying to do it in Python. For my favorite measure of statistical dependency,…
