I've been making the case for bonds. If this cover cannot convince you that it's time for bonds, I cannot help you anymore!! @donnelly_brent https://t.co/v1tYd6DX9G 引用 @biancoresearch:For years, yields were below where the economy said they should be. That is no longer the case. https://t.co/m60E
And then from there, it's easy to see what other items are in the same neighborhood in multi-dimensional space. Like I said, still needs a ton of work. But check it out! https://t.co/sWc2SQJ7CD
My approach too solving this problem is to assemble big lists of items, and then have a model identify the essence of each item outputted in a series of haikus (to constrain the output and force creativity) which are then fed to an embedding model.

There's a lot of worries that AI will take the "fun' out of shopping. IDK, maybe it will, but it doesn't have to. I want people to have fun using @Haiku_Zone to discover things they never would have otherwise come across. 引用 @401Casey:Joe let me beta test this and it’s the most delightful applicati

And there are of course offsetting developments in the financial account -- DRAM dollars now trump petrodollars ... (as an aside, this shock hasn't reduced China's surplus, as it increased both exports and imports similarly)
Write a few 1000 words on adding bonds to a long portfolio. Within say I'm tactically short bonds through 9/30. Cover well. Go max long for alpha a bit above current level using a complicated options strategy recognizing the vol implications of the CTD flip. And people think
And a few other technical points here -- (1) the IMF itself has long indicated it puts the most weight on the "current account" model, which now implies a 21% plus undervaluation (4% surplus is over 3% of GDP higher than the 0.5 to 1 % of GDP norm, each pp of excess surplus is

I've seen some people say that the math solutions are just pre-IPO "hype." Maybe that's true in the sense that they're a signal to investors that in a lot of industries, OpenAI will be in a position to capture some of the really big gains from this technology.
Theoretical math is largely just an intellectual pursuit. But there's a lot of money to be made in areas like pharma or chip design. And it may make sense for OAI and Anth to get out of the token-selling business and just beat everyone else to commercially viable breakthroughs.
THE REAL IMPLICATION OF THE AI MATH BREAKTHROUGHS I wrote about an element of AI that needs to get more discussion. The best public models will always be far behind what the labs can work with internally. Think about what this means for intelligence-intensive industries. https://t.co/CjZYvil3SQ

One reason why exchange rate adjustment is actually vital to bringing more balance to China's global trade. Domestic demand growth doesn't spill over into demand for European -- other other -- goods anymore. Without rising imports, balance has to come from slower export https://t.co/fkbc3D02qv
The complete argument for why exchange rate adjustment does in fact matter, and why it is the right thing for China's trade partners to ask for can be found here. Europe cares more about whether China is moving ever further away from external balance than about how China
China has a problem with internal balance -- which exchange rate adjustment on its own won't solve. And China has a problem with external balance (an unusually large surplus), which is a structural problem of the kind that exchange rate adjustment on its own would address. To
