Thanks for finding a steel‑man way to interpret it. That is such a bizarre narrative choice I didn't even consider it. So they used that arrow notation consistantly to refer to the headings, representing the order of magnitude of money

Yeah you get "Like and Subscribe!" or "Thank you." or even chinese back from the API if you send pure silence (or I guess it's white noise to the model once its volume normalized). I think humans hallucinate in whit

I mean the quotes contradict each other, is $1M HNWI threshold ↑6 or is it ↑7?
64.
by geor9e 11mo ago
Is ↑7 a typo? "A person with lower ↑6 wealth is a “high-net-worth individual” (HNWI, $1m)" "About 16 million people (↑7) are designated as HNWI."

I find this comment non-sequitur. We may have a mismatched understanding of how options work.

I can find extreme Nvidia puts on robinhood for 2 cents right now. So risking ~$2 of actual money gets you ~$20,000 notional 13F value. So the claim "$187.6 million in puts on Nvidia" potentially means "Burry risked a total o

by geor9e 1y ago
You are misunderstanding. It's not I don't want Windows 11. For example, I have a pretty good gaming PC that plays Grand Theft Auto V at 4K and Elden Ring on low settings. It no longer gets security updates. Microsoft has made the

There is a movement to cryptographically sign images in order to prove that they are real raw photographs, by selling hardware in which the cryptographic key is placed close to the camera sensor to prevent tampering. This is one attempt.
