power law explains the distribution, but the distribution is getting more extreme over the years, likely due to (market structure, macro conditions, tech economics, etc)

Anyone know how they are building this? Is it a fork of chromium?

Tactically pretty interesting - even if they fail or aren't that serious about this, it forces Google to scramble energy and resources into defending their turf. Attention spent defending is attention not spent elsewhere.

SPY is up ~4x since 2012 - maybe a good time to remind folks to reconsider being more passive (at least with their stock picking)

I was wondering why there wasn't a DOJ concern when Amazon Go did the same thing:

> Amazon Go: Early on, Amazon was clear that it was testing “Just Walk Out” tech — and it was known (at least in tech circles) that they had humans reviewing edge cases through video feeds. Some even joked about the “humans behind the AI.” > Their core claim was that eventually the tech would get better, and the human backup was mostly for training data and quality assurance. > They didn’t say, “this is 100% AI with zero human help right now.”

> Nate: Claimed it was already fully automated. > Their CEO explicitly said the AI was doing all the work — “without human intervention” — and only used contractors for rare edge cases. > According to the DOJ, the truth was: humans were doing everything, and AI was just a branding tool. > Investors were told it was a software platform, when it was really a BPO in disguise.

Easy to hate on this, but the existence of these kinds of things is so fascinating. Hundreds (maybe thousands) of people are out there generating AI click bait because people or system somewhere allows / encourages / pays for this market to exist

> Ultimately, investors mainly care about the returns

Not quite. It also matters how and when returns are generated. Some vol funds make 1–3% a year on average, but they still manage billions because when markets crash, they (presumably) crush it — and that’s when investors need them the most

Changed the text color to be white now, so hopefully it is a little easier to read. Let me know if you have any issues or feedback!

Ah, sorry about that! Was trying to keep it on the dark mode side, but I may have gone too far in that direction ha - let me see if I can change the color scheme really quickly to be at least white for the text!

What's your side project (if you don't mind sharing)? Would love to see other projects in this space!
