And the relative values of those stocks will shift requiring rebalancing. You might be able to do that with new dollars for a while but hopefully, eventually, the swings are much m…

Value is tied to how people assess value. They used to assess it on the performance or potential of the company whose ownership you were taking a part of. Now speculation plays a m…

Tesla is currently 2.2% of S&P 500. If it halves, losing $800,000,000,000 usd market cap, the index will go down by 1.1%. What big risk?

How about every value appears 0 mod n times except one which appears 1 mod n times? :) Solution: xor is just addition mod 2. Write the numbers in base n and do digit-wise addition …

You assume the goal is to dominate the EV market. It seems pretty clear that this hasn't been Teslas revealed preference for a long time. The goal is to keep raising the stock pric…

All of us trained our human "LLM" in the same environment (a human baby body) so it's easy for us to agree. I think once we have LLM-like entities that are always on and output a c…

The stateless/timeless nature of LLMs comes from the rigid prompt-response structure. But I don't see why we cant in theory decouple the response from the prompt, and have them con…

This is a critique of basketed index funds not total stock market index funds like FSKAX. When that observation is applied to FSKAX it reads like this "An index fund, by its nature…

Seems more of a 'how' than 'why.' Good stated reason that lets you keep the actual reason private.

Math is a purely logical tool. None of it "exists." That makes no sense. Some of it can be used to model reality. We call such math "physics." And I think physics is significantly …

This phone has the highest screen area to weight ratio except for the Galaxy S25 Edge.

https://www.scottaaronson.com/papers/bb.pdf This paper contains many conjectures around BB that could be interesting to some.

This is naive. The problem is that there are enough people with enough power who want house prices to keep going up. The solution must involve making them upset that they cannot ge…

To me #3 sort of looks similar, but everybody else is clearly not close to similar.

Point is, there is flexibility in how different brands implement it. I think it will be the same as eco mode / sports mode / track mode.

I bet that when this tech is in normal cars some will have it tuned to drive much more aggressively and/or simply have that be a setting. I suspect that would be a big selling poin…

There is money in them doing this nasty nonsense. The cost of something like a cellular connection will only keep dropping. Therefore, it is just a matter of time before such devic…

The real nerds celebrate Tau day on 6/28.

An insane amount of money was donated by pro-crypto lobbies to the campaigns, and they will make it all back.

Meta needs VR to hit big with normies and what you describe will never hit with a billion normies. So it's not surprising they aren't focusing on it.

TLDR: Do an experiment, then move 10 meters to the left (or rotate 90 degrees, or wait a few days) and do it again. The results don’t change, because the laws of physics don’t chan…

Humanity was fine living in an environment much closer to what our bodies evolved for. But now tempting things are evolving faster than our biological countermeasures so we need so…

Are you implying that this somehow explains the full price? Those same few places are also the best places to buy investment properties, and this fake demand (not buying to live th…
