@bennpeifert Some bonuses are paid out directly from the pass through. So in bad times, the variable cost is lower. Helps smooth returns and mother ship keeps more.

Cool to see @perplexity_ai packaged together with @Singtel here in Singapore. Actually made me think about switching back for a bit.

@bennpeifert To me the real question is why aren't they not in textbooks? Maybe because too many are written by financial math people without proper finance industry exposure? Also how we got some of the big blowups in the first place?

@bennpeifert Specifically for short dated opts, hearsay is they're hard to hedge so may cause price distortions in the underlying. Wnat to understand market maker considerations

Firms struggle to forecast, often making over-optimistic inaccurate forecasts. Running a 5-year 6,000 firm experiment finds that simple data interventions can yield large improvements, from @I_Am_NickBloom, @m_codreanu, and Robert A. Fletcher

That's new. But likely because R1 already has chain of thought well integrated, and that it's CoT is probably superior to what users input.

Deepseek prompting tip from their paper: “Few-shot prompting consistently degrades its performance. Therefore, we recommend users directly describe the problem and specify the output format…” Better to use a comprehensive single prompt then multiple (chain-of-thought) prompts.

@_KarenHao I think about missing piece in this argument also is that convincing everyone you need lots of chips helps to create the mirage of a moat...since anyone who can't afford 80bn in Capex get disincentivized to try. Inherently anticompetitive. Tot agree on the neg externalities.
