<p>> It is architecturally impossible for an LLM to associate a link or citation that it crawled with a response that comes out the other end.<p>I mean, its not.  Lots of LLM's focused on finance do this already.<p>Bloomberg's own ASKB produces results and provides links back to the source documents or urls that it references so people who care about correctness can verify the results.</p>

<p>yes, monthly returns are expected to be volatile for a fund like this.<p>No in that, no LP wants 2/3rd down months.  That kind of swing is insane.<p>That' means any LP that invested in the past 3 moths is completely wiped out, as in their full investment into the fund is at zero.<p>Now most LP's are probably investors for 6 months or more so they'll be ok.<p>What I'd be worried about is that if its true that he liquidated his entire public portfolio and only holds privates, where are the returns going to come from when anthropic is currently valued at what it is likely to go public at, and where is investor liquidity going to come from when they want to redeem.<p>He looks like he's turning his fund into a venture capital fund, which might be for the best given that he seems good at that and poor at running a hedge fund that invest in public securities.</p>

<p>> let's be clear here - he didn't actually "lose" a ton of money. he was up 439% net in the first half of 2026.<p>He's down 67% on the month.  He most certainly lost alot of money.<p>He'll be fine and i think he'll be successful at raising more money, and he's still up on the year as far as I've been told by LP's, but he sure did lose alot of money this month.</p>

<p>gotcha. I've never heard of 16amp service, in Canada we have 15 amp.<p>But its very common to have many 15amp and 240V lines run in a house in Canada.<p>My kitchen alone has 4 different lines. i don't think your scenario is all that uncommon given that almost all new builds will have the same lines run in their home.</p>

<p>Most North American homes would have 240v and 200Amp service.  A 16Amp fuse seems down right tiny:)<p>We have 50 amp service running a hot tub and another 50 amp service line to charge an electric car.</p>

<p>> It's nicely symmetrical, because conversely I prefer my LLM-generated code to have no dependencies.<p>How do you get your code to the point where it has no dependencies?  How do you do any sort of database writing without a library, or web access without sockets from an os library?<p>What sort of code has no dependencies?  I'm now very curious as I can't see how you can do anything without altest including the std lib from your OS to do any file i/o.</p>

<p>Most of this debt will be forgiven or given a significant haircut.<p>The legal term is odious debt and it has a long history of debt taken out by dictators being forgiven once the dictator has been removed.<p>The IMF will normally make a ruling on this as to if the debt is odious or not but given how a few big hedge funds that normally go after discounted debt have recently dumped a chuck of Venezuela's debt the writing is on the wall as they say.<p>I'm not a government credit expert but what analysts are saying to expect 60-75% of the debt to be restructured, not forgiven, in terms of a 50% hair cut.<p>The debts owed to oil companies secured by oil infrastructure is less likely to be written off as  Venezuela will need foreign help to rebuild their oil infrastructure form these same companies, giving them a fair bit of leverage  here:)</p>

<p>> But then he made a tweet that basically just says "I suggested this, some people like it, some hate it". That's super against the rules, because it attracts people to the proposal who otherwise wouldn't have seen it.<p>How would this in any way be against the rules?  Wouldn'tan open and democratic process like wikipedia want as many eyes as possible on a vote or rule change?<p>That sounds completely backwards from the open and free spirit of wikipedia. If even wikipedia has gone full mob rule then hwo do any projects stay open and free to everyone?</p>

<p>The lidar shows me:<p>- if a car is behind me<p>- how many cars( I think up to 8) are behind me<p>- what speed they are coming up on me by way of animation<p>To answer your question about what to do, mostly yes, yield the road if I'm on  a country road and get over to the shoulder if there is a good paved one.<p>It's a valid question if you've never ridden on a country road  with cars.  You want all the notification you can get if someone is coming up behind you so you can plan what to do</p>

<p>I mean, Ontario runs the Bruce nuclear plant which is the second largest in the world in terms of the power it generates at 6,610 MW, Japan gets the top nod with a plant that generates 7,965 MW.</p>

<p>I use a Garmin edge bike computer and a Garmin tail light with lidar that shows cars as they come up from behind on you on the computer screen and give audio alert as well.<p>That works well enough for most road riding.  I wonder if having a reverse view mapped onto my glasses would be an improvement or take away from my focus.</p>

<p>Makes alot of sense.  Canada has:<p>- one of the largest uranium reserves<p>- a well respected and safe nuclear design in CANDU<p>- experience with building and refurbishing nuclear reactors(Darlington)<p>and for Ontario itself A need for more baseload to work with the large amount of solar and wind that Ontario has added in the last 10 years.<p>Saskatchewan also now has a potential need for nuclear for industrial use now that wasn't present before from its existing population.<p>if the government can clear the red tape by using a well tested reactor design then  they could certainly get some of these reactors built in that time frame.<p>15 seems...ambitions, but if we're going to spend at a federal level this is probably one of the better things to invest in.</p>

<p>Really?<p>I don't think anyone really holds him responsible for the dotnet crash of 2000 as that was a market issue and irrational exuberance issue and not a monetary one.<p>And 2008 was similar.  The Fed doesn't control or have any responsibility for lower lender standards or ARM mortgages.<p>Congress was responsible for the GSE's that bought any mortgages and wrote insurance on those mortgages, so you can't blame the FED for that.<p>Wallstreet are their regulators were responsible for the securitization of mortgages that went bad in 2008, not the FED.<p>At worst you can say they had the wrong monetary policy but that's an opinion and not something that can be said as a fact.<p>Can you flesh out how you feel Greenspan is responsible for 2008?</p>
