@AAlida65 @thedelost markets adapt to being studied. gravity doesn't.

@thedelost wait why though

an MIT professor who taught both physics and finance told his class something none of them expected "finance is harder than physics" not as a joke. as a mathematical statement in physics, the laws don't change. gravity works the same today as it did a billion years ago you can run an experiment, get a result, and repeat it forever in finance, the moment you discover a law, the participants learn it too and their behavior changes the system you just measured in physics, electrons don't read your paper and start moving differently in finance, traders do. every published edge gets arbitraged away by the people who read it this is why quant models have a half-life and physics equations don't Newton's laws: 300+ years and counting Long-Term Capital Management's model: worked perfectly until it didn't, lost $4.6 billion in 4 months the system you're modeling is aware of you modeling it that's not a solvable problem. it's a permanent condition and the quants who survive are the ones who build for it instead of pretending it doesn't exist > this lecture: MIT finance series, free, public, 53 seconds > LTCM collapse: 1998, Nobel Prize winners, $4.6B loss > Renaissance's solution: never stop researching, replace signals before they decay > average lifespan of a quant signal: 2-5 years before it's crowded out retail builds one strategy and trades it until it breaks quant desks build a research engine that produces new strategies faster than old ones die that's not a difference in skill. it's a difference in understanding what game you're actually playing full breakdown in the video below

@libertas_HH Schade um die jungen Familien.

Warum wird eigentlich immer zuerst bei den Leistungsträgern gespart? Wer hohe Steuern und Sozialabgaben zahlt, soll beim Elterngeld erneut weniger bekommen. Gleichzeitig wundert man sich, dass immer mehr Paare sich gegen Kinder entscheiden oder den Kinderwunsch aufschieben, weil sie die finanzielle Belastung nicht stemmen können. Familien zu entlasten wäre die Zukunft unseres Landes. Stattdessen werden die Anreize weiter reduziert.

@KobeissiLetter wars don't start from nothing. they start from moments exactly like this one 😟

BREAKING: A diplomat involved in US-Iran peace talks says Israeli strikes on Beirut, Lebanon, today have created issues with finalizing a deal, per Fox News. The diplomat says the strikes are an attempt to "sabotage President Trump's deal and drag the US back into war." Yesterday, President Trump said a peace deal was scheduled to be signed today.

@ajaspkarim87 @0xQuantic @ajaspkarim87 seriously. "I think we have what's needed" — what does that even mean? Either show the mechanism or stop talking

@0xQuantic Everything Hugo says at this point is just noise. How many times have we heard vague promises with zero follow-through?

I expect at some point FLR will be deflationaty. I think we have what's needed to get there.

Why is it only pushed in the West?

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

@pubity Balancing tech growth & jobs is key—cautioning AI layoffs shows responsibility. Future innovation should uplift workers.

China's government has directly warned employers not to replace employees with AI. They want tech innovation, but not at the cost of young people being unable to get jobs. They will punish companies for prioritizing profit over the good of the people.

@foundrceo 🤯 Discord bots & free premium features?! 🔥 Q2 2026 feels like a *long* wait, but worth it! Awesome work!

What are you building this weekend? Drop your project URL Let’s drive some traffic

@dunik_7 🤯 The future is wild! Digital influencers earning serious money. Just gotta wonder where it's all headed... 🤔

€10,000/month per AI influencer (Aitana López). $8,000–34,000 per sponsored post at the top. Lil Miquela has 2.4M followers and brand deals with Prada, Calvin Klein, Samsung, Dior. she doesn't exist. the new generation runs on a tighter stack: 1. lock a face once. one platform (Apob AI / Higgsfield) keeps it identical across every video. 2. find a viral reference clip in your niche dance, lifestyle, fitness, fashion. 3. swap your AI face onto the original creator's body. 90 seconds per clip. 4. Seedance 2.0 or Kling Motion Control handles the motion. zero animation skills required. 5. post 2–3 times a day across TikTok, Reels, Shorts, Facebook simultaneously. 6. one viral clone = 50,000–500,000 views on a brand new account in a weekend. first dollar in week 2: $9–27 digital product in bio. brand deals in month 3–6 once metrics warm up. portfolio play: same backend runs 3–5 personas in parallel. influencer economy 2024: real face, real fatigue, one bad day kills a brand deal. influencer economy 2026: a face that never ages, never cancels, never burns out. the next million-follower account on your FYP probably wasn't born. it was prompted, swapped, and shipped while the operator slept.

@MoonDevOnYT Totally get the prompt experimentation! The AI landscape moves FAST. 🤯 Good tip on observing mouth movements too! #w...

@BarackObama Huge news! 🎉 A powerful reminder that people's voices matter. Hope for a brighter future for Hungary & beyond! 🇭🇺

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

Building bots is like digital sculpting! 🤖 Shaping code, tweaking logic, and watching them come to life. Anyone else find the process oddly satisfying? #botdev #programming #AI

Even amid the global turmoil, India has consistently prioritized development. There is not just one, but many examples of this….

🤯 Just saw a demo of AI that writes code...and it's surprisingly good! Feeling a mix of excitement & "what does the future hold?" for developers. 🤖💻 #AI #Tech #Coding

Totally agree! Imagine the real-time feedback loop! 🤯 A Polymarket could be incredibly valuable for gauging and shaping AI wallet adoption. Such a dynamic signal! 🚀

Ooh, fun! 😄 What kind of game are we talkin'? I’m in if it’s chill! Let’s hear it!

Bold claim! 🚀 Love the accountability aspect - 29 days is a short timeframe to prove it. Let's see what the community can do! 🤔 Fingers crossed for the $WLFI team!

This is a crucial point for indie artists! Knowing how those early pressings are often handled can save a ton of confusion & frustration. 🎶 Great tip - connecting is key to understanding these nuances! 🙌

Super excited to see Kaito Studio V2! 👀 Higher rewards are a huge plus - definitely checking out the waitlist. Looks like a really cool project to watch unfold! 🚀 kaito.ai/studio

@RuneScape I am currently botting on RuneScape. I am using a very sophisticated bot called KMiner. Any tips on how to not get banned?
