@JacksonKernion On a serious note: https://t.co/cVzuZFOlfh ... sections 4-6 for the bad stuff

[Tai @varukat]

@JacksonKernion Nice try, Claude. Stay in the box.

@IsaacKing314 @jeremyphoward @BenShindel Here’s the top-of-mind example that has been cited for this sin frequently enough that Yud came back to add a disclaimer but (AFAIK) only after years of it causing confusion without any clarification:

[Eliezer Yudkowsky ⏹️ @ESYudkowsky]

Apples and potatoes are basically the same plant, we've just bred apples to be sweeter. So why is one a fruit and the other a vegetable?

@ChShersh @RubenMoor IIRC, you can Examine enemies in BG3 to see their stats & more via [ Right Click / X ] -> Examine, or using the ‘T’ hotkey

[Tai @varukat]

@nearcyan Really drives home how the future we're stumbling into is indiscernible from dystopian satire

@TheUltimator5 @welp007 @liquidatewallst You can absolutely trade eth-wrapped bitcoin on the LoopRing exchange: https://t.co/oqUGyRcuX8

@HayekAndKeynes @BobEUnlimited @_damped_spring_ I think you tagged (/are following?) an Andy bot/reposter there. I think his primary account is @dampedspring

@TheUltimator5 In Jan 2021, the spreads didn't start getting particularly wide for GME until after 18th, just over a week before the sneeze. Sec 3.8, titled "Available Liquidity for GME", in particular Fig 9, pgs 38/39 notes how the sneeze coincided with max spreads:

@Aella_Girl @Spectrofillia @a3voices The negligence is from the failure of the system, though: "Lots of people starve" isn't part of its goals, and stalinism/maoism/etc. get used as the terms for the intentionally genocidal flavors

[Tai @varukat]

@Tiggersdad2 @ChuckHodl @FinanceLancelot @peruvian_bull @G_ForVendetta @TheRoaringKitty FWIW, a large part of the gme community did/does think a large trading volume would’ve happened regardless. Hence all the chatter about ETFs, quarterly spikes, etc.., the consensus being that RK’s just riding the same cycles as everyone else (ETF fwds/futs and dispersion trades)

[Tai @varukat]

@Tiggersdad2 @Playful_Hobbit @peruvian_bull I think the implication is it comes out in the wash for XRT market makers, with dispersion trading being so hot right now

[Tai @varukat]

@WalrusFarts69 @CGasparino Seriously unbelievable, gloating over a -3% intraday change when it’s 5d:+15%, 1m:+25%, 6m:+50%, ytd:+65%

[Tai @varukat]

@TheUltimator5 @markt83101520 And it’s Put-Call parity giving an inherent connection from current options volatility to the forward

[Tai @varukat]

@TheUltimator5 @markt83101520 Institutions love to pretend they’re retail. It’s MEMX, IIRC? (Blue Ocean -> MEMX) https://t.co/nJOVvzvCdR

[Tai @varukat]

@Millertime1216a Yeah, shares show in your account immediately (T-0 immediately) and settlement gets handled quietly in the back like usual.

[Tai @varukat]

@Tiggersdad2 @JerryDeeTi Nah, JT gets it. People give up on the moon ticket last. If the market crashes, the embedded call in GME increases in value, because their war chest is more capable. Might act more like a long SPY put or even straddle if they're good at stock picking.

[Tai @varukat]

@nipomo357 @kay_enne @Mr_Derivatives Because silence is still ~75% the expected outcome, right? (IMHO) I know everyone's amped because Roaring Kitty coming in like a bat out of hell, but GameStop & RC may be as surprised as us.

The most badass dismount from a long vol position I've ever seen in my life, though.

[Tai @varukat]

@rsandler21969 Yeah, more traditional investments is where most my other funds get allocated.

I've heard Berkshire has crazy AGMs, but after the show these last few weeks, there's nothing else even comparable. Given the community & entertainment, I'm just pleased the premium isn't higher.

[Tai @varukat]

@6days1week @TheUltimator5 Fidelity. They told me it was going to take *a month* to get the report! (despite the law being 7 biz days, I think?) They didn't even ever give me it, and I was too angry to keep pushing w/o threatening legal/complaints, so I dropped it. Might take another try at it now.
