SOC-2 auditing, which both Anthropic and OpenAI have done does provide some verification

Even if bank execs went to jail CZ is still wealthier

And AI is a way to enable better UX and cleaner data...

I think the point isn't so much that gun advertising is expanding and increasing demand of weapons, more that the style has changed and has impacted the culture and aesthetic within the firearms enthusiast community.

The issue is that if one launches a non-token app someone will just fork the project and add on a token and out compete by offering airdrops and other incentives. Definitely an unfortunate part of the crypto ecosystem.

Most US Gov debt is fixed rate debt, however the government issues new debt all the time, which is issued at a yield that is set by a Dutch Auction [0]

That's BlackStone, not BlackRock. They are totally different entities.

NASA post Apollo 1 fire immediately comes to mind, not quite sure what Naval is on about.

https://earthquake.usgs.gov/data/dyfi/ USGS' "Did you Feel it Program" helps USGS figure out how seismic waves travel through the crust, which isn't uniform in density. Useful beyond seismographs.

Given the massive progress seen in image generation and synthesis with NNs, I'd imagine it will only be a matter of time until the production of CP doesn't require a child. Get ready, because the situation is about to get a whole lot more complicated.

As a survivor of child abuse, one of the major obstacles to recovery is to identify and let go of this generalized fear that goes with you everywhere you go. I find it extremely ironic that, under the pretense of "saving the children," one would implement technologies that subject the general population to that same type of overbearing fear.

In my mind its not about figuring out the edge cases, its more about building a framework in which tradeoffs can be analyzed, debated, and mindfully considered before drafting legislation. In order to do this there might need to be a few conversations that some may consider pedantic.

I will say that given the text based medium of HN, it can be hard to gauge whether one wants to have a mindful discussion or if one is just trying to mindlessly ding a poster.

Yes, but tech monopolies != Space Exploration

How many of Meituan's customers are internet constrained. Not many would be my guess...

A list of holdings leaves me scratching my head: - JD.com? - Netflix? - Meituan? (Chinese Food Delivery) - John Deere?

Either these are some very forward looking plays, or there weren't enough public securities to fill a diversified, thematic basket.

Yes. Take a look at https://twitter.com/SnailBotIO

Now the Reddit website is down. Is this related?

"As of March 2010, the total value of released Swiss coins and banknotes was 49.6640 billion Swiss francs" Last I checked coins and banknotes don't exclusively make up the money supply.

EDIT: Crux of the issue here is that circulation is the wrong metric to use (money supply would be far more accurate).

I'm confused... Are you saying the ongoing MAPS FDA Phase 3 trials [0] are more about safety than efficacy? The whole point of Phase 3 trials is to prove efficacy.

Additionally, earlier studies [1] measured the participant's CAPS (Clinician Administered PTSD Scale) pre and post treatment which showed pretty significant results.

Top of the line card (90HX) is 86 MH/s @ 320W whereas 3090 is 106 MH/s @ 350W [0]. Am I interpreting this wrong? Doesn't seem more efficient to me...

13Fs (reports that show what certain funds are holding) are filed quarterly. While you can see who owned GME as of 12/31/2020 the flows of the past few weeks is not public knowledge yet.

Many hedge fund's run a factor neutral (market + other risk factors are hedged out of the portfolio) long short book. If done right (and thats the catch) there should be low correlation to S&P.

T-bills are the performance benchmark for hedge funds but not the risk benchmark (which is generally something riskier). This can sound counterintuitive as T-bills are a very low hurdle to clear. However, in a downturn scenario generally causes rates to fall, increasing t-bill return when the rest of the market goes down. In that case its a very difficult hurdle to clear.

That is true, but its easy to centralize private ASIC designs or in a more extreme case the underlying chip fabs. If TSMC wanted to control the Bitcoin network they'd have a fair shot given they have by far and away the best fabrication technology for high performance chips

Not sure if you are claiming that BTC currently solves the "more wealth -> more power in system" problem but it clearly doesn't. The current state of affairs is more wealth -> more ASICS R&D and infrastructure budget -> more hash power -> more power in the system.

They claim (via formal verification, I cannot speak to their threat model with much accuracy) that they are able to achieve the same or better security properties as ETH 2.0 without lockups (staked funds earning income are like demand deposits) or slashing (penalties for bad behavior / bad network performance).

The project as a whole (Cardano) has some other notable advantages. Personally, it has a built in governance system which actively funds projects / improvement proposals paid for by some of the block rewards & fees. Cardano just had their first round of voting and funding which gave in aggregate $250k to a variety of projects [0]. Funding batch sizes are expected to grow to $10 million dollars a year in 2021 (at current prices). This is where I'd draw the largest difference between ETH 2.0 and Cardano (the project which developed and uses Ouroboros)

I can assure you that most folks on wall street (speaking about most of the multi-manager hedge funds specifically) have significantly tighter risk limits than anyone on WSB. Frequently drawdowns of even 5-10% can get your sized reduce or get you fired. The YOLO attitude that WSB has is closer to the film "the wolf of wall street" than what actually happens.

While Billions is one of the more realistic shows about finance, it is far from accurate enough to be compared to real life.

disregard for the value of human life

While the deaths were sad, I don't think that's the main reason people are concerned.

Seems to have spread beyond just BTC
