Your reasoning is correct if you think about negotiating options, or going all in on a trade, but its not quite right for stocks. The borrowing rates for MSFT and NVDA - even for a retail investor - are less than 1%…
That's a very out of the money view! If you are right you could make some very good money!
It is a very complex phenomenon, with no single driving force. The usual culprit is uncertainty, which itself can have a ton of root causes (say, tariffs changing every few weeks, or higher inflation due to government…
That was a very fun recap, thanks for sharing. It's easy to forget how much better these things have gotten. And this was in just six months! Crazy!
Markets are supposed to be decision makers, and having pricing information be public helps firms and other allocators take better decisions. The question at hand is if the flow of information today is so fast that it…
Oh! It's been a good while since I've worked in noise cancelling. I didn't know current tech was at the point where we could do direct reproduction of the outside noise, instead of just using mic arrays! That's very…
Does anyone understand why they are taking the difference between transformers instead of the sum? It seems to me that in a noise reducing solution we would be more interested in the sum, as random noise would cancel…
Makes sense! My impression that phase matters from audio comes from when editing audio in a DAW or anything like that. We are very sensitive to sudden phase changes (which would be kind of like teleporting very fast…
Intuitively, audio is way more sensitive to phase and persistence because of the time domain. So maybe audio models look more like video models instead of image models? I'm not really sure how current video generating…
But Swift is just a messaging protocol, right? It doesn't handle trust at all - like you said, you need an awful lot of documents for a single transfer. I think what could be gained with a zkp protocol would be…
Imagine you are Goldman Sachs and a client wants to make a 100mm USD wire transfer to one of their accounts at Citibank. How does citibank know that the account at GS has the money to cover this transfer? Right now, the…
