Banach spaces and fix theorem were kind useful definition/tool but I always struggled to understand practical applications.

Thanks for sharing the article

Without being to self-centred here but since I have been using LLM heavily I have always challenged the results given

The post seems to propose the following vector:

I only know Cramer from the fun and others meme is been the originator. But that statistics should be taken with caution. Being long equity since 2008 was not really a proof of creating a alpha ( aka adding superior return than the market). That's the long term low interest rates environment that incentivize W Buffet to make his famous 10 years long sp500 won't be beaten by any HF.

The current system requires more workers ( with decent salary) than number of retirers... Given the population if getting older this creates an a very prévisible imbalance...
