1) are you going to sell your trade flow to Citadel / market makers like Robinhood and your competitors do? That's the dirty secret way of making money that you seem to have completely excluded. The reality is that adds up to substantial "invisible" fees that the investor has no transparency over because you sell your trade flows to them and they make a higher than normal spread. And the whole "doesn't matter if we sell your trade flows, the rules require you to get best execution" is a farce and everyone in the industry knows this - otherwise there is no reason why Citadel or Virtu would bid billions of dollars to just buy the trade flow.

2) Are you going to rebate your borrow fees back to investors? This is the other dirty secret way of making money. Many people don't realize that you can earn lending fees by lending your shares out for people looking to short stocks, and those add up to substantial amounts over time for a scaled asset manager. Do you keep this instead of rebating it fully back to your customers?

3) If the answer is no, you don't sell trade flows and yes, you will rebate your borrow fees, can you make a lifetime commitment that you won't go back on your word? Many people who start in this industry say they won't sell trade flows and then after they reach scale they change the footnotes and agreements and starting selling trade flows.
We charge $1/month.

Longer term, we think there are additional revenue streams we can enable that are similar to existing broker-dealers like Robinhood, Fidelity and Schwab. That means things like cash float, margin lending, stock lending and payment for order flow. Currently we are not a broker-dealer.
Everyone is a "potential terrorist". Actual criminals are people who are tried and convicted of crimes. Everyone else is, by definition, innocent.
We're deep, deep into speculation here. I'd wager that as the profile of the case goes up, so too does the dilligence and carefulness of the evidence chain of custody.
I can only speak for the weather models (since it is in my domain). The answer is that the issues are much more engineering and scaling/infra issues than theoretical issues, and google is good at engineering (or attracts people that are).

Do you manage the portfolio of each customer individually? How closely will this match the target portfolio for smaller investment sizes? I see that there are minimum investment sizes. Do I need to buy at least one share of each member of the SP500 for instance?

How do transaction fees compare with expense ratios of, say, Vanguard? I see that you account for them in your backtest, but it would be helpful to represent that in terms of an expense ratio.
This is a bit ridiculous, because part of the reason that providers are overcharging you is that they need huge finance departments to get their cash back from you or your insurer, which wouldn't be necessary if you had a single government insurer.

Also, the quote from the Courtney Barnett song about Australian healthcare only applies if you somehow end up in a private emergency department, which is extraordinary unlikely since they're often underprepared for critical emergencies and for non-critical stuff you can ask to be taken to a public hospital in the ambulance. You're likely to get charged a couple of thousand dollars for the ambulance ride (depends on state; in mine, membership of the ambulance org is $53 a year and automatically covers you for any ambulance trip Australia-wide, no denials; others are free), plus a few hundred for the consultation. I believe Medicare will pay for some private care in an emergency department.

She's talking about calling 000 because of an asthma attack but also alludes to a panic attack, which means she's not rationally discussing how much it will cost. It's not a scenario where she will have actual crippling debt like it would be in the US. A non-artistic non-panic-attack analysis of the situation is that she'd pay literally nothing as a public patient in a public hospital, and would pay a few thousand in the unlikely possibility she got admitted to a private hospital. Which, yes, would suck, but her worst case is an order of magnitude or two away from the expected cost in the US.

How are you tied back into the financial markets? Are you yourself an exchange member? Or are you going through a traditional brokerage? Or are there other middlemen?

I’m really worried about putting my money into any startup after the Synapse collapse, where a middleman for lots of tech-forward not-a-bank companies collapsed, stranding customer money.
I suppose it follows that they'd remove a feature that virtually nobody respects.
The feature was being used to track people because of how low usage was
Thanks OskarS

Tech is a very powerful tool that can automate the most mundane tasks and also automate harm like mass surveillance and erosion of ownership rights of your devices. The sheer ability to create new markets and replace inefficient non-automated markets leads to huge $$$ making opportunities which people may mistake as being good in itself (good for economy / GDP = good for humanity)
Well it never worked, nothing of value was lost. Although, a little concerning in the light of many Mozilla's recent recruitment decisions and especially AI shilling focus
I saw the "Your Money is Secure" section, but after things like the Synapse fiasco, I would like to get confirmation from you.

It says my money would be SIPC insured, which means if anything goes missing (obviously not through loss of equity value, but through missing funds or a ledger bug), I get my money back, up to the SIPC limit, right? I just want to ensure this isn't the same situation with fintechs that say your money is "FDIC insured", but that only protects you if the bank fails, not if the fintech goes bankrupt.

I'm just really, really wary of new fintech products to save like .3% on fees when I hear all these horror stories of people trusting fintech startups with their money any then losing 95% of their deposits like the Yotta customers.
You could have said the same thing about photo shop... Some people will learn to spot BS and think critically even if they can't quite put their finger on it and the video is very good (What, Trump fought a T-Rex, AND WON?), some people could be fooled by anything, and there is a lot in between.
On the one side you have a mass murderer that’s part of the politically untouchable class, and on the other, one of his permanently injured victims managed to survive and deal out frontier-style justice.

It makes for a good story. We’ve all seen that movie 100 times.

I wonder if the shooter will survive long enough to make it to jury trial. That’s when the real circus will begin.

(All I know about this story is that United Health has one of the highest incorrect claim rejection rates in the industry. I know nothing about the CEO, but we’re way past 140 characters at this point, so these things don’t matter to social media.)
As I said, using HTMX isn't "minimal to no JS". I agree that HTMX can be fast - but that's not what we're talking about. Even in the video of converting a React app to HTMX you linked the presenter literally says - "no JavaScript, just HTMX" - but HTMX is written in guess what? Very dishonest.
Was it anything but another bit for identification?
> it's not so scary when it's something you do so frequently

Yeah, I've found this to be the trick for ongoing hassle-free maintenance too. Make tearing stuff down and up frequent enough and you'll feel confident and safe when you're required to do so to recover from something.

Scariest are applications/services/servers that has been running for years but never restarted nor ever restored. Those scare me.
> they make a higher than normal spread

Is this known for sure? I thought the value of this order flow to them was the lack of adverse selection.
> And I can't help but be saddened about OpenAI's decisions to unload a lot of this before recognizing the results of unleashing this to humanity

Yeah, and it's especially hypocrite coming from them who said they'd refuse to disclose anything about GPT-3 because they said it was dangerous. And then a few years latter: “Hey remember about this thing we told you it was too dangerous before? Now we have a monetization strategy so we're giving access to everyone, today.”
this would require a cookie banner.
> The "type of calorie" theory is generally proposed by popular psuedo science articles that appeal primarily to overweight people who are looking for easy answers that don't require them to do something challenging.

"Pseudo science" like a guy who got an OBE for his research? That's a first one.

By "something challenging", are you referring to physical activity? Physical activity is good and must be done whether or not you need to lose weight. The point is that physical activity alone is not enough.
Corn syrup isn't about corn subsidies, it is about sugar. Sugar has large tariffs which makes core syrup cheaper in the US.
You should see the rules about discussing SARs you are asked to respond to, as an employee of a bank, with your colleagues and managers...
That sounds like more of a tech lead role than EM. Nothing wrong with that, it's good that you found a way to balance it.

If you want to continue on the manager path, I'd suggest leaning into that area of weakness and trying to improve it as much as you can. At Director+ levels, these skills are non-negotiable.
It should be noted that it is a preprint of a paper that is not peer reviewed. I would wait a bit for a peer reviewed paper.
If you're the coder/hacker type you might like Typst. It's a typesetting tool but it can create presentations too and I like it better than Powerpoint where I have to manually edit and align everything on every page to ensure a consistent style.
This looks like a case of "suicide by revolution". Various media reports (including this one) suggest that he had a back injury in 2023, has not worked since 2023, started losing touch with friends in 2023, has been reading books about back injuries and chronic pain, etc. If you've ever known someone dealing with chronic pain, it can easily make you decide that you're better off dead than continuing to live. Likely he's been seeking medical treatment for his injury, his insurer is United Health, they've done nothing but "delay, deny, defend", he's already decided that he's better off dead, and he might as well take the CEO of the health insurer with him.

This is the real reason for low/no broker fees. Don't believe any broker that says they will input orders without taking their cut otherwise they (automated or not) would not exist.
Same here bro/sis, eating only beef was transformative for autoimmune issues I had for years. There was simply no alternative that would give me a good quality of life, just heavy medication with awful side effects.
As a web developer i don't think i have ever supported this feature, but only because i never remembered to. It's a pretty easy feature to add, but unless browsers can force it, you're better off with uBLock.
Your account is in your name at Apex Clearing - they are our Custodian and Broker Dealer. They power a lot of modern brokerage products like WeBull, TastyTrade, Composer, SoFi.

It’s funny how we treat these things. Kill a bunch of people by putting lead in their drinking water and it’s a shrug. Occasionally you might lose your job over it. In extremely rare and egregious cases you might end up with a minor criminal conviction.

Kill one person by putting lead in their heart at high speed and now it’s a serious crime. If the victim is Important then you get a massive manhunt and national news coverage.
I'm not super well versed in how investing stuff works, so sorry if I get some words wrong. This isn't a fund I'd be able to purchase from my existing brokerage/retirement accounts, right? I would have to actually give my real money to you (via "Apex Clearing," who I've also never heard of & doesn't even have a Wikipedia page) to hold & manage? Even in the best of times, it'd take quite some convincing for me to give a significant amount of money to a brand new company, and the reputation of recent finance startups is uhhhhhh not fantastic. How are you going to convince me you won't take my money to go buy some property in the Bahamas?

Same is true for vegetables too... many small animals are killed when preparing the earth (mice, snakes,...) then many more with pesticides and other chemicals.

Eating grass fed cows probably kills less animals per calorie than many vegetables.

Super cool.

With the recent paper that apparently shows that ternary data used for AI can be faster and more energy efficient, I am intrigued that someone is experimenting with ternary in hardware.

I am a layman — can a conventional computer architecture be taken and ternary data and instructions grafted on to it? Or does the whole architecture need to be rebuilt from the ground up?

I guess I don't see, for example, any advantage to ternary addressing, only ternary data and operations.

Nobody has any clue what is AI stuff these days. Apart from the obvious ones, no one can tell a generative AI apart from 3D rendered stuff or low-res photos. Put image compression on top and it's definitely impossible.
I understand but the problem is that we need bots or someone will have to do it manually, and believe me we deal with a lot of layers, daily.

There are other methods to limit bad behavior like having usage limits and issuing a 429 too many requests in case of not respecting it.

For other countries to not access data, they could issue a api key or create a geofence to block external IP´s.

There are developer friendly ways to do it all, but it seems they are moving to a pattern to have massive amount of real people downloading the data instead of analyzing it, what a waste!

Talking long convolutions, on parallel architectures, through FFT there's a lot of performance to gain from Overlap-and-Add or Overlap-and-Save schemes, especially on GPUs with cuFFTDx which brings a whole new set of device primitives to the table and looking at (or getting inspiration from) tcFFT which allows using Tensor Cores for FFT and actually increases throughput on lots of convolution workloads.
I appreciate the sentiment, and I agree, but this really matters. There have been so many stories of fintechs collapsing recently, where people were really just trying to make an extra few percentage points of yield, and then people lost all of their savings.

I also like to root for the little guy, but the trust barrier will be the largest hurdle I think that this company needs to overcome, and so it's fair to discuss it.

It's clearly Japanese amateur content publishing economy that they are after. They're leaving professional comic/porn sections of same websites as-is, while cutting off multiple amateur bookstore chains[1] altogether. This is not even double standards.

Their intent is undoubtedly to throw wrenches into Japanese manga ecosystem that incubate and train authors rather effectively through out-of-economy feedback mechanisms in social media and self publishing, massively supercharged in the past decade through Twitter; it had proved immune to foreign replication attempts, financial incentives, leverages, even generative AI tools[2]. Those tools don't do much, other than raising barrier to entry by raising expectations and bolstering Japanese dominance.

Some crazy person somewhere must be on a cultural crusade trying to "solve" that problem, not understanding that trying to deny financial incentives just widens the cost-performance gap between Japan and the rest of the West by suppressing market valuation of Japanese manga and anime, allowing it to be more heavily subsidized by authors' dayjobs. They never made money in manga. Introducing money to disinterested then refusing it achieves nothing. Otherwise it makes no sense.

1: as in small videogame-shop-like franchises that specialize in casual self-published books - yes, that's a thing in Japan.

2: AI is completely useless in manga, I mean, there's no way copyright flamewar and watermarking movement existed if it worked. Pornographic voice drama authors[3] are loving it for generating cover arts for free. But even they don't look interested in AI content generation, they just love free covers.

3: yes, it's a thing in Japanese language, seem to be steadily growing even among English speakers. They're picking up Japanese fast. The hardest language on Earth, not anymore.
An obvious solution would be to turn it on by default
Diet and exercise killed diet and exercise by providing a huge body of evidence to show that it doesn't work for weight loss over the long term in the modern environment.

Case in point --- Oprah Winfrey bought Weight Watchers, a long term promoter of diet and exercise. In 2023, she quit the board and revealed she was taking a weight loss drug --- most likely Ozempic/Wegovy.

Ozempic is a hormonal blocker that does work by making it easy to eat less.
In my unpopular opinion it was a silly cart before the horse idea to begin with. I do not believe I need to be a lawyer to suggest there would first need to be a set of laws with some serious consequences if a company does not respect the header and can not prove it has respected the header when a court, legal team or the individual request proof. And that is only useful if the company is in a country that must respect such laws. Each country would need their own corresponding laws. And of course the devious companies would move their headquarters to some island nation.

By consequences I mean a percentage of their revenue vs profit which can be waved away by accountants is seized, donated to people affected by shady companies and all the leaders of the company must be marched through cities by shame nuns whilst citizens are permitted to throw rotten food and excrement at them. Anything short of this would just be the cost of doing business.

You’ve stipulated that the debanking was ok but that not disclosing why was problematic?

How about this:

1. Corporations are highly regulated legal constructs. Being given an extraordinary right (immunity for shareholders) they should be expected to return significant value to society. I propose that value should be “lack of freedom of association” - eg I don’t think corporations should be allowed to stop doing business with, or refuse to do business with, anyone citizen, except after conviction in a court of law for behavior directly related to that business.

2. Government should not be able to use their secret monitoring to prevent anyone from doing anything. No lists, secret orders, etc. If government wants someone debanked, take it to court.

Finally, if corporations can’t debank people, how do they handle unusual cost/risk? With pricing, of course. If porn and crypto transactions pose extraordinary financial risk, then allow pricing based on actual financial risk.
For 1 — dude, please back off the “[the rules] are a farce”.

Citadel and friends pay to trade with you because they think you’re dumb and they can make money off you. They’re giving you or your broker a better deal because they think they’re smarter than you. That’s all it is. They’d rather trade with you than with the median person on the market. Because they think you’re dumb.

You’re welcome to be insulted by that. It’s an insulting thing. But it’s not some grand conspiracy.
This is truly inspiring! Writing a 25k-line Neovim plugin entirely on a phone and touchscreen shows incredible dedication and adaptability. It makes me curious about the tools or workflows they used to achieve this. What motivated them to stick with this unconventional approach?
I understand that many people here have a bad taste of Mozilla's recent actions in many aspects. But the reality here is that this is at worst removing something that almost nobody respected. It was based on honor system and even in Switzerland they do have random inspections for honor system. Browsers never had any enforcement of this feature. And ironically it was used as additional data point of tracking privacy aware people who went out of the way to enable it.
AI voices have gotten scarily good. They are easy to recognize because most creators use the same voices with the same intonations and don't care to cut out the mistakes. But if you don't recognize the voice it takes a couple sentences to discern that it's AI even with an ear trained on the difference.

But it is funny to see how much stuff gets uploaded with zero quality control and still gets traction. These models really don't deal will with "innocent" letter substitutions, Iike using I instead of l.
It is already scary, many governments mandate that large purchases are only made through the banking system. Not to mention the private-sector pressure (how do you get paid for work?).
The F117 is weird. Unless you already know what it looks like, any single view from any particular angle is quite hard even for a human to extrapolate from. If it wasn't in its dataset then I can forgive it that, particularly because the angular nature of it means that it could easily be tripped up into thinking it's not looking at an aircraft at all.

I'm not saying anything about the quality of the model here - just that the F117 is almost certainly going to be an unfair test.
