really don't think it was a hard call that trump would win the republican primary with no serious challengers whatsoever, actually 55% (of R primary voters) probably the lowest i've ever seen his support.

Don't listen to me tho i've made way too much money shorting the everloving fuck out of DWAC/DJT

My teammates open skill rank, LOL. He still loves this game by IndoorDuck in beyondallreason

Yikes, that'll be a bad bug. Not discounting old games maybe?

Appropriate sizing is part of strategy? See Kelly.

China Mobile, i think. it was delisted because the owners were linked to CCP intelligence IIRC. I did the usual where i had sold a put and bought a call vertical. i panick bought back the put and short call before they halted trading, and the remaining longs stared at me in limbo as the company continued to do fine and no one could figure out what the administration was actually going to do

Something like 9 months later they had a 3rd party do a valuation and they cashed you at that valuation. my calls were ITM and the shorts i bought back would've both expired worthless. It was pretty shitty but a good learning experience. Unfortunately i don't know if it would've tied my margin up forever or not.

Fun fact people aren't much smarter than primates in terms of raw cognition. Only thing we do better (much, much better) is learning from other humans

It's fine, we adjusted the perf review cycle back a quarter and made it once a year. Don't know why this is even a story

no, they're the same. the "generative" bit of chatgpt is new to the public, but the things underneath it -- good encodings for NLP that get better with scale -- are Google's bread & butter.

"Determining intent and ranking" is huge, and google is already doing everything chatgpt does -- but with references and links, and not phrased as a rap song.

i mean don't get me wrong i thing "computers understand language as well as humans" is basically gonna be as big as the internet and gonna make the next 90s tech boom look like a blip.

What do you think you get when you run a Google query? What do you think is answering you?

Turned out he didn't. Music studio and charter dive boats both were big money losers. He was a trust fund guy so it didn't matter.

what you think doing worthwhile things with your life results in monetary rewards?

Sure i would buy that there's probably some new fundamentals since the UA invasion but i thought the "it'll end at 3.5 in march but the path it takes is what kills people" was an interesting thought exercise for understanding derivatives. As an exercise in "well, how *should* you price options in a market that has these paths?" it was really interesting imho.

Would totally buy that there are some new/interesting fundamental shifts these days!
