Starting off light tonight, with a mere one * amuse bouche at Nakazawa before we move into the real heavy hitters
A selection of the greatest hits- smoked mackerel (a revelation), toro, ikura, wagyu. The real meal, however, begins later.
Oh my god

OH MY FUCKING GOD
Superlatives, obvious subject to bottle variation:
Best “young” vintage- 1989
Best value- 1983
Best outperformance of expectation- 1934, drank like a 70’s vintage
Best classic Yquem- Tie, 1937/1945
Best overall- 1928, hands down. Pitch black color, PX flavors, totally flawless.
MONSTROUS DECADENCE
SYBARITIC EXCESS
BABYLONIAN DEBAUCHERY
THE COMBINED TASTES OF THE OTTOMAN SULTANS AND THE AVIGNONIAN POPES COULD NOY EQUAL SUCH FORBIDDEN INDULGENCE

I LONG TOO DIE

I have struck deep into enemy territory for dinner tonight- no longer ensconced in hip hop Spotify playlist small plate (((coastal elite))) restaurants, I am in a massive “steak-house” with antler chandeliers and antique guns on the wall. The menu is just a list of cuts of beef.
Men named “Chip” and “Buddy” mill around me, wearing golf shirts and drinking old fashioneds that look like someone mashed up an orange and poured five shots of bourbon over it. They are doubtless congratulating each other on another record quarter at their used BMW dealership.
Welcome to my new followers just figuring out this account’s Deal. Sit down and have a glass of the 2010 baby Chave:

Spaces desperately needs an audience chat feature like Twitch does so I can call Cohodes a delusional muppet who thinks RH getting a $3bn LOC from Citadel to meet DTCC margin calls was ever on the table
"You know, I'm gonna speculate.
'cause I don't want any hassles, I'll speculate.
That it wouldn't surprise me that Citadel just takes the other side of some of [Robinhood customer's trades]."
...Did Cohodes just imply Citadel was planning to murder him for speaking out? Did I mishear that?

Finally, the product I've been looking for: what if instead of Robinhood, there was a slick app that dropped confetti on you whenever you allocated into a shitty private equity fund-of-funds and underperformed? notboring.co/p/is-that-a-fa…
Ah yes, I'm sure your fund of funds will in fact have a Sharpe ratio of [checks notes] 4, just like in the backtest. God I want the client list for this app so badly, they're all accredited investors too.
Oh my god their investment process is literally SELECT * FROM eurekahedge WHERE 200<aum<500 ORDER BY sharpe DESC

Dear reader, I have just completed as near to a true kaiseki dining experience as is possible outside Japan. Every single plate was handmade by the chef, who would be gravely insulted were his food to be served on another’s pottery.
For the final sake pairing, we selected our own glass, which unbeknownst to us would be wrapped and presented as a gift after dinner.
I suppose the chef got bored making the sushi because we were also given our own brushes to finish with house made soy sauce, which was so good I literally took a sip of it.

Here's a fun "conditional probability" example: Both vaccination rates and hospitalization/deaths are very left skewed, while the US population is right skewed. What effect does this have look at vaccine efficacy, but normalize by current hospitalizations, because you're a hack?
Let's assume for simplicity the weighted average of vaccines is 90% effective, and also flat across age groups. Conditioned *only on dath/hospitalization*, 35% of all deaths will still be fully vaccinated individual, and 24% of hospitalizations will be vaccinated. Not great!
But considered relative to *the entire population*, while deaths are still split evenly between vaxxed and not, there's so many protected in the vulnerable group, the population deathrate dropped by a factor of 7. Consider that graph, with a 0% vaxxed population for comparison:

Alright losers, it’s Krugposting time. I have had nothing but coffee and cigarettes all day in preparation for this meal. Starting off with a sea bass sando w/ green tea, then a grilled maitaake chawanmushi, and then a tuna inari pocket.
A DIY wagyu taco in pickled daikon, plus an action shot; octopus with hijiki seaweed salad, and butter poached white asparagus
Tempura course time. Starting with spring onion and maitake, then salmon and sea add, then shiitake. They also have a shrimp one which I skipped because I Will Not Eat The Bugs.
