latent dirichlet allocation sounds like some kind of freudian matrix analysis

sure, substitute "index X minus index Y" in the example instead

not sure i understand what would be different about the future versus now — why wouldn’t the reasons that evaluating comparative efficiency of existing PLs is difficult apply to new PLs?

(& to be clear, the hydrocarbon thing is just an example, i’m not getting into whether this is actually “effective”, just curious about what the reasons are)

for instance, the selection issues you mention seem like more of a problem without a way to compose different indexes, because someone has to make a single global choice twitter.com/steveklabnik/s… twitter.com/steveklabnik/s…

i don’t think this is what i’m referring to: it’s a list of specialized etfs tracking custom “green” indexes rather than some kind of generic composition

i’m curious whether there’s something that prevents traditional financial markets from providing à la crate index funds, e.g., “all stocks minus hydrocarbons”

empirically, blockchain people are able to create software that adds records to a ledger
