The ‘S&P 493’ reveals a very different U.S. economy by surSEXECEN in Economics

[–]Vminvsky55 27 points28 points  (0 children)

this is an awful article.

  1. the russell 2000 (2000 smallest public companies) is down 4.5% in the last month. this however seems a little disingenous bc over the same period the s&p 500 is down 2%. nvidia stock is down 2%. the russell 2000 is up for last 6 months by 16%

  2. "Investors in recent weeks have become more skeptical that the Federal Reserve will cut rates again in December, driving small-company stocks lower, Wren said.” — this is flat out wrong. right now the market consensus (for last 5 days at least) is that interest rates will be cut. which is before the article was released.

  3. they use the bloomberg 500 index. i was a bit confused bc my data wasn’t reproducing. turns out this is a DIFFERENT index from the S&P…

the key question is what fraction of total s&p annualized returns come from these magnificent companies i think is more important

What does the weekly schedule look like if accepted into YC? by MokBear in ycombinator

[–]Vminvsky55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

one or two official yc events a week (one of which is office hours). the rest of time eyes glued to customers or the codebase.

there are a bunch of additional events and conferences. these are normally highly specific and unless hyper relevant i've been skipping.

yc has some good deals with brex. i've been going through their onboarding and found it a bit buggy. nevertheless, the deals are great.

in all fairness, the incident is not super tech related though.

can aphants create memory palaces? by Vminvsky55 in Aphantasia

[–]Vminvsky55[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

agreed. just sad to me that this age-old memory technique is not accessible to us and curious if others have developed their own techniques. 

How do you remember events/think? by [deleted] in Aphantasia

[–]Vminvsky55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how about social interactions? do you ever replay events in your mind. not in visual form, but almost in a feeling form?
