A 3bn fire sale is going to have a price effect no matter the reasoning behind it.

Interesting that you cite BRK, who famously have been sitting on ~150bn in cash recently. Professional investors absolutely sit on cash all the time.

Price targets and investment research reports have nothing to do with the PR department.

Noobs deserve to be laughed at when they start taking capital from retail investors.

Why?

Of course it’s not the first case. Police have been involved in crypto cases for years.

What does a standard programming language being unsound even imply? It’s not being used for theorem proving, so how is it of consequence?

Yet another pseudoscientific application of Gödel’s incompleteness, which makes very specific guarantees about logical systems of a certain strength and their ability to prove theorems. I’ve no idea how you could twist it into what you sugg

The fact it is an all cash offer should finally put an end to the ludicrous claim so often made that billionaires can’t access liquidity.

For him though, obviously. He is attempting to take the company private.

The tail end of programming will be the last thing to be replaced, maybe. I don’t see why CRUD apps get to hide under the umbrella of programming ultra-advanced AI.

I don’t see why banking shouldn’t be on a cloud platform, you’re not really giving any reason why we should question it either. As to your second point, security through obscurity is generally believed to not be worthwhile.

I think if Excel macros were banned in finance, trading volume would drop by several hundred billion dollars per day.

Of course it’s surprising. How many other elite athletes can you name that retired at (or more likely, before) their physical and competitive peak? It doesn’t appear irrational either, but it’s certainly far from the norm.

I’m not sure when they were ever distinct things? The history of types in mathematics and programming is incredibly interwoven. Also, it has been shown time and time again that in an expressive enough type system in a programming context, t

The untyped lambda calculus is inconsistent as a logic, hence you need some notion of types. Type theory is indeed building mathematics from lambdas, though.

Pull this thread far enough and it turns out the Y-combinator is a lambda encoding of Russell’s paradox.

What do you mean flow info? Generally selling flow means letting market makers fill orders for a fee. How much is just the info worth, especially in FX?

It was perfectly enjoyable but am I the only one who found this much easier than Wordle? Perhaps it’s just todays puzzle.

That’s the same as Haskell.

Medallion makes those returns and is capped at 10bn. The rest is more traditional fund management (and performance isn’t great). Also from what I understand Medallion is HFT in one sense (fast trading with short hold times) but not to the p

It’s an incredibly interesting story, symbolic of the mass influx of retail investors into the market, and also a fascinating example of cultish mass delusion. The short squeeze is blatantly over in the eyes of basically every investment pr

Some small hedge funds no one had heard of had a bad year, while market makers like Citadel who thrive on volatility and high volume made a fortune.

Why do you think not a single institutional investor has rallied behind this cause? Hedge funds love fucking each other over and would embrace popularity with the public. Why hasn’t some firm with a few billion under management taken up thi

What IO capabilities does the lambda calculus have?
