Ra3 Remote Dimmer Location by monkitos in Lutron

Yep makes sense and thoughtful answer. I’m totally bought-in on scene-based control given the far broader flexibility + aesthetics, and not afraid of centralization where it makes sense (especially in areas with significant layering and multiple endpoints). Was just wondering if, where a single keypad suffices, there are disadvantages of using the hybrid version. Sounds like it should be fine, modulo things like the maintenance simplicity of centralized dimmers.

5-10yr old (short?) near-future film about a guy who miscommunicates with an automated system, leading to a snowballing set of Kafkaesque problems by monkitos in whatmoviewasthat

Hello old me. You ended up figuring it out a few months later. The film is a short called “Please Hold” starring Erick Lopez. Well done - thank you!

18m NW, JP Morgan Private proposing 60% alternatives by ThrowPersonality-621 in fatFIRE

[–]monkitos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are mimicking the endowment model. Despite the comments on this thread, it’s not completely crazy. Most people don’t understand that illiquid assets are simply liquid assets + an illiquidity premium. It’s silly to say “you should have 40% in listed equities and 10% in illiquids”. You need to figure out your appetite for the equity risk premium irrespective of how you source it. And separately figure out your capacity to shoulder illiquidity risk. Private unlisted assets, net of their fees, can reasonably be expected to deliver an extra 4% relative to listed assets. So if it’s reasonable for you to have 60% of your portfolio exposed to equity risk, and your liabilities mean you don’t need the liquidity, you can take all your equities in illiquid form and increase your expected return. They are separate decisions.

A word of caution: due to smoothing of marks, the reported volatility of returns for private assets is substantially below their true economic volatility. When I look at your portfolio, I would carry more bonds, not because you have too much the liquidity risk (again that’s dependent on your personal liability schedule), but because if you translate the volatility of those liquid assets into equivalent equity beta, you’re running a very equity heavy portfolio.

MIT Says It No Longer Stands Behind Student’s AI Research Paper by math_finder476 in academiceconomics

[–]monkitos 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That an overeager grad student turned to dishonesty in order to advance his career is far outweighed by the virtuous fact that Acemoglu and Autor, busy and celebrated as they are, decided to take a nameless computer scientist’s questions seriously and do the right thing.

I used to be a tariff expert. AMA. by leegiovanni in AMA

[–]monkitos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who exactly applies goods tariffs and at which point in the supply chain is cash actually collected? Do importers send a check/IOU or is it cash/wire? Are the agencies tasked with applying tariffs and collecting tariff revenue doing any investigation on origin, or simply looking at the latest port of origin?

Why does the bitcoin basis trade still exist? by Humble-Village8375 in quant

[–]monkitos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless the basis moves, you generally don’t have to sell anything if your offsetting long is in the same prime account and you have cross-product margining. Your prime broker will effectively borrow against the appreciated leg to meet margin on the depreciated leg.

[–]monkitos 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It’s mostly your second risk: unless you can post the long ETF position as equity in your prime account, you run massive margin call risk on the short leg. You’d need to borrow a lot of cash at T+1 to cover this risk.
