Right, sure, and that game is not lifting the market, generally speaking.

The author only said they took classes in nuclear engineering.

I think it’s unreasonable to classify someone as an expert because they took a few courses in the curriculum for a related discipline.

Sylvia Plath was publishing complex poetry at 8 and was already showing the intense and dark themes she's become an icon for at 14.

If you haven't dealt with what Plath or this woman has, or are some credentialed authority on early childhood development of exceptional children (or poetry), I can't understand why your speculation on this is worth listening to.

This is a myopic take on both Levine's writing and the external impact that stupidity can have on other market participants, positioned in entirely different assets.

snakedoctor, you have borderline traits and should try to work with a therapist to gain insight into the dissonance between how you see yourself and how others see you. It is not realistic for you to achieve your goals without working on your mental health first.

Sure, it's regulated, but which regulation states they have a fiduciary duty to you?

Given they are currently arguing in court they have no such duty, but only to act in their customers best interest, perhaps this isn't sufficiently clear to them.

Most of this is misdirection intended to confuse the case around his recent pumping.

Perhaps Chamath had reflected on why a celebrity shouldn't be pumping a derivatives trade on Twitter.

A MM expects to make pennies for selling an option.

If there is a sufficient squeeze, and GME doesn't issue new shares, each of those options (especially those purchased earlier) will result in tens or hundreds of dollars of profit to the holder.

What's your math for asserting that Citadel is making "the most money" "by a huge margin"?

Yes, they actually exist in the West as research reactors, since there has been no demonstration or certification of their suitability for long-term operation.

These examples provide your answer - digging just past the surface, they're not better at giving people what they want.

The vaneless ion generator is >5x less efficient.

Molten Salt Reactors, on the surface, sound quite safe, but nuclear power's primary problem is economics, and this is an unproven technology operating over the long time scales needed to amortize reactor construction costs. Nuclear power systems present novel failure mechanisms that don't exist in everyday technology, such as the corrosion mechanisms caused by coupling of mechanical, thermal, chemical, and radiological stresses, and MSR's present a new set of these that are poorly understood. Additionally, MSR's exhibit thermal shocks in normal operations orders of magnitude above what may be produced in a water-cooled reactor.

It's just not that simple - it looks simple to you.

Monte Carlo is a class of algorithms, just like FFT isn't a code or a specific algorithm but a class of algorithms.

Is "worthwhile science" a jab at nuclear applications?

MC was developed by and used for the Manhattan Project - almost the entire computer architecture we are using to communicate resulted from military research related to strategy concerning weapons that could not have been made without MC, and this remade not only our relationship with technology but the geopolitics of the entire world.

I would say that, more broadly, the omission is the lack of any mention of the use of random sampling, including MC and random methods in machine learning.
