@InBraised If you can trade for free, then your optimal trading strategy (given reasonable return estimates) would be incredibly hyperactive.

You would continuously change portfolio weights according to your latest return estimates.
@InBraised In the real world, this would kill you, because trading frictions would eat away at your PnL.

So, one way to avoid hyperactive rebalancing is to only calculate your return estimates periodically (say once every day, or every week, or something).
@InBraised But this isn't optimal because, if your alpha is good, you want to be calculating it as often as possible. You just only want to be trading when the increase in expected returns from the new position is much better than the old position.

В їдальні всі намагаються черпаком щось знайти в рідині, яка називається супом. Таке тут буває. Коли майже всі в черзі отримали поразку і пішли пити кип'ячену підфарбовану воду, то через деякий час після хвилі жартів (я, наприклад, накидав у рідину хліба

We have been mapping and studying the known flood risks at Camp Mystic.

It turns out that not only was the camp in a flood zone, some cabins were located in areas that local county officials had deemed “extremely hazardous.”

Here is more of what we found.

🧵 1/9
The riskiest areas are known as “floodways,” where rushing waters are expected during flood events.

In Kerr County, like many places, officials put strict limits on development in those areas “to protect human life.”

Story link:

We found that Camp Mystic had 6 cabins in the floodway, including those housing some of the youngest campers. Other camp buildings were also in that part of the flood zone.

(1/🧵) The U.S. Treasury Just FREED Crypto and It’s MASSIVE for DeFi.

No more 1099-DA.
No forced reporting for DeFi.
No surveillance of your transactions.

This is a financial plot twist.
Here’s why 👇 Image
(2/🧵) 🧾 What Was the 1099-DA Rule?

The IRS had planned to enforce new crypto broker rules starting 2025:

— DeFi platforms, DEXs & self-custody apps would be labeled “brokers”

— They’d have to report user activity to the IRS

— Form 1099-DA would track every crypto transaction

— Even non-custodial wallets would’ve been forced into compliance

It was the most aggressive surveillance push in crypto tax history.Image
Image
(3/🧵) But It’s Gone. Repealed. Dead.

Trump signed H.J.Res. 25, nullifying the rule under the Congressional Review Act.

✅ 1099-DA repealed for DeFi
✅ No broker surveillance for non-custodial wallets
✅ Privacy for DeFi users restored
✅ U.S.-based crypto devs spared from compliance nightmare

This is the first real pro-crypto privacy win from any government. Ever.Image

Capitalism survives on dissatisfaction.
If you woke up tomorrow and genuinely liked your face,your body, your home,your clothes the entire industries would collapse. The goal is to convince you that fulfillment is always one purchase away. Lose 10 pounds,buy this serum,get a
promotion,upgrade your phone.
And when you finally do the bar shifts,again. Because if you ever felt enough, you’d stop buying. It teaches you you’re not enough,not pretty enough,not rich enough,not productive enough. If you loved yourself,would you still need to buy ten step
skincare routines for a problem they created? The beauty industry profits off body dysmorphia. It doesn’t just sell products but also invent flaws, rename normal things as defects; It invents flaws,names them(hip dips,strawberry legs,smile lines),then sells you solutions.

How much time do AI coding tools save? @METR_Evals just released a rigorous study with a startling result: developers take 19% longer to complete tasks when using AI!

The result is consistent with the idea that AI tools are most helpful for routine work in small projects, especially for developers working outside their comfort zone. This study covered the opposite scenario: experienced developers in mature codebases with specific, strict style guidelines. It appears that as of Feb-Jun 2025 (notably, before the participants had adopted agents like Claude Code), AI tools were not beneficial.

Another interesting result is that developers were way off in analyzing their own experience: they believed AI had sped up their work by an average of 20%. It appears that self-reports of speedup due to AI should be taken with a grain of salt. (One possible explanation: AI tools may reduce cognitive effort even if they aren't saving time.)

I've written an extensive explanation and analysis of the results – link in 🧵.

(Thanks to @METR_Evals for sharing drafts of this fascinating paper so I could prepare a writeup!)Image

The dam is breaking.

NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s extremist views and skeletons from his past are now LEAPING out of the closet.

Victor Davis Hanson drops three of the most disturbing ones that have been recently uncovered.

Then he delivered this stunning prediction:

“I guarantee you more will come out every day because he's a pampered, privileged, angry, young socialist-communist.”

🧵 THREADImage
Victor Davis Hanson says the façade is cracking around New York’s radical socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, and the revelations aren’t pretty.

He lays out a portrait of a candidate who, despite a carefully managed public image, has a record steeped in hard-left ideology and contradictions that are starting to catch up with him.

“We've talked before about the front runner in the New York mayoral race, Zohran Mamdani,” he reminded viewers, setting the stage for what he described as a necessary unmasking.

Mamdani’s history of openly embracing Marxist ideas, Hanson argues, is not some youthful indiscretion but a core part of his politics.

“And we've mentioned before that he talked about seizing the means of production, which comes out right out of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels ‘Das Kapital,’ ‘The Communist Manifesto.’”

It’s an approach that extends beyond slogans.

Hanson pointed to a pattern of denying inconvenient truths, like Mamdani’s insistence he never supported defunding the police....even with clear evidence to the contrary.

“We talked about his claims that he never advocated defunding the police, even though there was an extensive social media trail where he advocates just that.”

And there’s the question of targeted taxation. Mamdani’s proposal to focus tax hikes specifically on “Whiter” neighborhoods isn’t just about class....it’s about exploiting racial division, Hanson says.

“He talked about going into richer and Whiter areas and taxing them specifically at a higher rate,” he explained, pointing out the selective language that conveniently skipped over the fact that Indian Americans....like Mamdani’s own family....are statistically among the nation’s highest earners.

“He didn't say, in other words, richer and Indian American. He just use the word white because he was trying to cater himself to the African-American vote.”
That silver-spoon background, Hanson argues, has insulated Mamdani from facing the consequences of these ideas.

He has never needed to find a job or face public scrutiny.

“He has an extensive left wing record and now that he's in the public realm, everything is starting to come out.”

This sense of ideological immunity, he suggests, isn’t just Mamdani’s own making but has roots in the world he grew up in.

He recounted an academic discussion where Mamdani’s father offered an extraordinary historical comparison that Hanson found revealing.

“His father was in a, discussion of, you know, a conference discussion and said that Adolf Hitler's idea for the final solution and many of his, policies toward the Jews came from Abraham Lincoln, the way Lincoln supposedly created or treated Indians on reservations.”

“That's that's crazy.”

It’s these kinds of statements, Hanson suggests, that help explain where Mamdani’s own comfort with extremist rhetoric comes from.

Important Thread: How They Still Try to Colonise Bharat – This Time Through Seeds

1. The New Empire: Monsanto, Cargill, Bayer, Syngenta
500 years ago, Columbus came with a Papal Bull to colonise land. Today, biotech giants like Monsanto (now Bayer), Cargill, Syngenta, and DuPont come to colonise life itself, via GM seeds, patent laws, and WTO trade pressure. Same script. New tools.Image
2. US Wants India’s Soil for Its Frankenfoods
The US is pushing India to open its markets to genetically-modified corn and soy, crops already banned here. They call it “agricultural trade.” We call it biopiracy. The intent: patent our food, hijack our farmers, and turn Bharat into a dumping ground.
3. 1998–Bt Cotton: The Trojan Horse
Monsanto introduced Bt Cotton in India in 1998. Price per packet rose from ₹7 to ₹1700. Within a decade, 200,000 farmers committed suicide, crushed by debt and crop failure. This was not technology. This was economic terrorism

🚨 A global scientific scandal is brewing.

Millions of fake research papers are flooding the world’s top journals — and it’s killing people.

It’s worse than you think. A thread 🧵👇 Image
2/ We’re told to “trust the science.”

But a growing share of that “science” is fake — AI-generated, unverifiable, or outright fabricated.

And it's being published in real journals, then echoed by media and used to shape public policy.

theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
3/ Example: Spanish journalists created a fake paper called “The Description of Algebraic Classes.” It was authored by Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappé & Vinícius Jr.

No one read it.

Multiple journals published it.

Some called it “novel and valuable.” Image
