Wanted: Arguments for and against making corporate tax more progressive based on profit margin. Low margin companies (big employers) pay a low corp tax while those running 20, 40, 70% margins progressively pay a higher rate od tax like individuals.@RachelReevesMP@MelJStride
@dampedspring@DannyDayan5 They are generally about -0.5 short (+\~1 scale). They were still selling to get short until yesterday and are now stable at that level.
@citrinowicz Hi. Loving your commentary for the last month. Out of interest, do you have direct contacts in Iran to draw conclusions on their position? And don’t you think the US via Défense Intelligence or CIA have similar information so should know? Is it then just that this isn’t believed?
Lots of hot takes on whether it's possible that DeepSeek made training 45x more efficient, but @doodlestein wrote a very clear explanation of how they did it. Once someone breaks it down, it's not hard to understand. Rough summary:
* Use 8 bit instead of 32 bit floating point numbers, which gives massive memory savings
* Compress the key-value indices which eat up much of the VRAM; they get 93% compression ratios
* Do multi-token prediction instead of single-token prediction which effectively doubles inference speed
* Mixture of Experts model decomposes a big model into small models that can run on consumer-grade GPUs
This is by far the best article I've read on Deepseek, written by a value investor @doodlestein, who walks through Deepseek's main technical innovations and their implications for training and inference usage.
Also walks through HW/SW threats for $NVDA

@FrankLuntz Ridiculous post… the VAST majority lost money with a negative skew to how much they made. The ones who made money and especially those ‘60’ with massive profits? Very likely the insiders tipped off early or involved in this fraud.
@schneiderhome You’re an idiot. They leave and take their tax payments away from UK. They don’t sell their assets…. And if they do, they don’t get taxed on them.
