@sasuke___420 @idoccor @iavins Even two chars typed reduces the order of magnitude of the filter structure by many orders of magnitude

@sasuke___420 @idoccor @iavins Probably all the usernames fewer than N characters are already taken, and it's possible to then transmit a smaller structure to filter on the suffix of the username after N chars are typed.

so many answers suggest using a bloom filter, but I don't think that's a good fit and a bloom filter alone won't help at scale

@functi0nZer0 NB if your country was, eg. The entire world - you'd need 3 weeks But no real country has the bad properties required to not make this strat work

@functi0nZer0 you can do it with certainty in 2 weeks for any real country. Choose an extremal point of your country for your first guess then you know the direction pretty well. Then choose where the arc intersects a border for your second guess. Should give you the location.

It is 2026, we have exabytes upon exabytes of information available via a few keystrokes and people can’t figure out this gets solved in *exactly* three weeks via triangulation Reopen the schools

@freightmarket @captsingh Not locked in, but raises Asia premiums. That Saudi terminal in red sea can't easily send cargo to Asia anymore

@captsingh I know, but you still can. It's not locked-in volumes unless you also take out the ships and/or the terminals/pipeline.

Houthis launch first missile—Yemen now formally in the war. Bab al-Mandab Strait is now the next chokepoint. 12% of global oil, 8% of LNG flows through it . Hormuz is closed. If Bab al-Mandab closes too, Gulf oil has nowhere to go. The economic cost just doubled. ⚓

@dampedspring @DeepDishEnjoyer Follow on thoughts: The real question is _why do indices fall faster than they rise?_ A secondary effect re existence of skew in market is: Asset managers will get fired if they massive miss benchmark, but usually not if they slightly miss benchmark. Incentivizes buying downside

@dampedspring @DeepDishEnjoyer (it really is that simple. An implied vol is just a price in a different unit, instead of dollars I quote in vol because it's a better scale for options)

Here's a question for options nerds Ignoring if it's "right" or "wrong" whether it's caused by paper flow or some expectations. Is baseline assumption in modern option thinking that each expiries vol skew represents an implied PDF and the vol surface is a stack of those expiries PDF's?

@dampedspring (and without making assumptions about what you know here, remember there's a direct formula to convert European prices into a PDF for that expiration)

@dampedspring Contrived example to reinforce the point: Imagine asset where you have 1 expiration for European calls and Pdf implies +1% or -1% with 50-50 chance. If trading a barrier at +2% with that exp, I need more info than just the PDF (can it go to +2% then back down to +1 before exp?)

@686Prism @jnconkle Yeah you have to be greek to trade shipping cos I believe. Or Chenny FFS.

@jnconkle buy the terminals, shipping equities aren't for most

i think i'm gonna buy this thing finally.

@haydendevs Trained on slop + you're paying per token

my main complaint with these code models is they still tend to over engineer everything. what codex did in 300 lines of unreadable code, I trimmed down to ~100. is this just a prompting skill issue?

@bubbleboi @insane_analyst Buyside not outside

@insane_analyst Why don’t we get tickets

If hypothetically I was in SF, loitering near MS TMT conference, what days would be best to be in the area to meet max number of buyside friends?

@the_P_God @azar47_ Is there a choice of beer or can we assume it's Guinness or get out?

@azar47_ First one to pass out or piss their pants loses

word on the street is that @the_P_God is starting a cheeky pint podcast of his own. except guests will actually pound beers and spit real knowledge.

@elletwocache Some good content but the guy is insufferable these days

this is the best substack, i love his posts from 2009

@veronica_humble Could try Beast Academy? Think it's AoPS stuff for younger kids

Help needed!! 7yo is pretty good at maths, but clearly getting bored of arithmetic (and his year 3 books). I know what to do maths-wise with c10 yo+, but not 7. Any recommendations for books etc? (logic, geometry etc)

@TimTheMM @DeepDishEnjoyer I can tell I need to be short vol based on how much Tim posts instead of makes market

@DeepDishEnjoyer joke is on u p4 u don’t have access to this map, only PATRIOTS do but here’s some intel for u, the USS SHORT VOL is near the area ready to deploy

for anyone that says that trump is gonna move in to iran in the coming days, no he's not because he's a dumbass that moved his gulf carrier group to the carribean

@paxtrader777 @AirExpel Agreed. If JPM were having real issues, sell everything you own and buy a gun.

@AirExpel They are rumors, that is all. They are. HUGE bank, they have been fined, who cares. That are not in trouble.

I am on the Caribbean Ocean right now. I didnt read any of rhe rumors out there but I do know prices action. Do not believe any rumors of JPM being in some sort of trouble with margin in metals. If they were the ES would be limit down for days. Trade what is in front of you-not your opinions or guesses. None of us truly know what is going on with the trillions that controls the market till it’s too late-and even then we don’t know. Trade what is in front of you.
