There’s a funny amount of beef around using it in art, you have Anish Kapoor who bought exclusive rights to use Vantablack artistically and man of the people Stuart Semple offering his versions Black 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 getting ever blacker.
mikeodds··on Should every baby's DNA be sequenced?

it’s fair to say there would be great advances from such a programme, I’m personally in favour of medical surveillance generally for this reason but you have to be realistic about outcomes

mikeodds··on Tell HN: One Medical Is a Nightmare
Had a bizarre situation for a while where they had physical branches in Texas, could deliver care, but couldn’t take card payments for years. Medical bills could be paid but the actual subscription couldn’t be. They asked for a cheque. Support promised they wouldn’t pursue the charge until they could take card payments. Obviously they reneged (even with the above statement in writing) and sent it to collections.

mikeodds··on America's future could hinge on whether AI slightly disappoints
That’s cumulative liquidity available on the right hand side.

i.e the ~13k shown at 99c and ~12k show at 98c aren’t independent. If the 12k is taken at 98c, only 1k would be left avail at 99c.

You’re right if you wanted to hold the price there it would cost you more, however if there isn’t a straight arb, maybe not instantly, and (some) smart bettors might be wary of such a market going to near 100%

mikeodds··on America's future could hinge on whether AI slightly disappoints
