Hermits, who live alone, in the wild, are some of the most introverted yet resilient people alive.
The article also confuses living on a couch with introversion.
Who is less of a couch potato, the introvert mountain biking by themselves, or those dudes pictured sitting at a pub?
I am a huge proponent of pushing yourself outside your comfort zone, but this article does a poor job of articulating what and why.
LLMs will be important for Meta's AR/VR tech.
So perhaps they are using open source crowd to perfect their LLM tech?
They have all the data they need to train the LLM on, and hardware capacity to spare.
So perhaps this is their first foray into selling LLM as a PaaS?

This doesn't work.
The log change intuitively shows this.... log (0.5) = -0.3 & log (2) = 0.3
If you lose three quarters of your wealth, you have to quadruple your wealth to get back to where you where.
Again, log intuitively shows this.... log (0.25) = -0.6 & log (4) =0.6

...then eventually, you need a bigger house to keep all those things in.
VCs can be wildly successful making 999 losing bets, as long as one bet is a 100 bagger. VCs are running off imperfect information, they don't know which horse will be a winner, so they spread their bets. The more bets the better.
Short hedge funds are betting that they know more than Mr Market, one of the most efficient pricing mechanism known to man. A long fund can be no smarter than a monkey throwing darts, and it still does well. A short fund needs to be the smartest person in the room. They go deep, to find an edge that no one else but them has spotted. So they are highly concentrated, because you just can't go that deep on more than a handful of companies.
To say a short sellers insight is not worth anything because they just got lucky once is incredibly... short sighted?
A traditional hedge fund is the opposite of a VC. VC's want huge gains, which means huge volatility. Traditionally hedge funds minimize volatility rather than maximize returns. Traditional hedge funds are for those who care more about wealth retention during down times than increasing wealth during uptimes.
The maximum theoretical gain from shorting is 100%. A stock can only go to zero. If only 10% of your shorts are wildly correct and go to zero, you just made 10% on that one bet.
The maximum theoretical loss from shorting is infinite. Any one of the other shorts could blow up your fund if it went up 10x. Of course, this is a hedge fund, with risk management that would either hedge the risk or exit the position before it blew up the fund.
But shorting costs money. Especially if it's a popular short or if it pays a healthy dividend. Even if your stars align, and all the other 90% of short/long pairs just went sideways, neither generating a profit nor a loss, you are unbelievably lucky if you come anywhere close to the 8% a traditional index ETF returns over the long haul, with a 10% win rate on shorts.
Shorts perform significantly more analysis than longs, as they have to have great timing in addition to being directionally correct.
In the article, Bleecker are not making any specific predictions, just explaining their reasoning for shorting this stock.
Their one prediction is "This is not a contained event…. I don’t know what happens."
Yellen has said she is monitoring a small number of unprofitable banks carefully.
From a market perspective, short interest in the regional bank ETF KRE has been rising steadily for a while now.
Looking at unprofitable banks with high implied volatility, the market seems to think First Republic Bank FRC is under some duress.
It is exceptionally costly to short FRC right now, but I imagine anyone with more than $250k in a single account is moving money out right now. Which is the definition of a bank run.

Just writing it out was therapeutic, it helped me see the absurd humor in the situation. Then someone responded with a link to an LA reporter who had written about similar situations.
I contacted him, he wrote a story about me, and all the bureaucratic problems just went away.
I wrote my story up here...
For those in the bay area with parking tickets.... I've had hundreds of parking tickets in California. I would always lose the first round of dispute, because it is adjudicated by the city/county that gets the revenue. The second level of dispute is reviewed by an independent party who actually looks at what you state and makes an impartial decision, and the third level is reviewed by the courts. I disputed hundreds of tickets, and only once did I almost get to the third level.
Clarify what is important (not just urgent) and why it's important. Present progress on key items, as your manager should be able to identify things you had not thought of. That should not require a deep dive. Highlight potential escalations. If you have a problem that requires your managers attention, also present a potential solution, then listen and hopefully learn.
Each quarter it's a good idea to revisit your yearly objectives, and progression towards these goals, which is the perfect time to also blow your own trumpet and ask for feedback on what you could do better.
Promotions and pay raises are often more about relationships with both your manager and his peers, so ask how you can increase your visibility across the organization. What problems can you help solve outside your day job?
If you aren't getting anything valuable out of the meeting, it's OK to just chat about personal stuff, or be silent and let the manager drive. Some managers are fantastic, and some managers are frankly in the wrong job.

I still have issues receiving emails. Especially from financial institutions. (Wells Fargo emails just... stopped. So I gave up and setup a gmail just for them.)
I have issues sending emails from my custom domain.
IRL I always have to explain that yes, my email address is YourCompany@MyDomain.com, but no, I don't actually work for YourCompany.
Over two decades, I have played whack a mole with a number of problems. Switching to a hosting provider that does not allow me to forward <any>@customdomain.com helped. It only allows explicitly forwarded email accounts, and setting up the email address explicitly passes most email validation tests, and I suspect the underlying IP is less likely to be blacklisted by fin tech that is extra careful about who they email.
