Our biggest strength? Combining a CPA firm and financial advisery firm under one roof. It’s really hard to overstate the benefits of coordination- especially if you’re in a high income bracket and receive RSUs/options. Our new blog post digs in with a bit more detail.

Most people WANT to do the cool stuff they see with LLMs, but it feels out of reach. If you're the AI-pilled one on your team, teach them to tell the model 3 things: 1. What you want it to do 2. How much effort to spend 3. How it should verify it did the right thing That's it.
I am surprised that people are surprised this is how I prompt Claude. Talk to Claude the way you would a coworker. There's no secret to prompting. There's no need to be overly scaffolded or prescriptive for most tasks -- give Claude a goal, and it will figure it out. Back in the Sonnet 3.5 days, your prompt mattered a lot. Nowadays, it's much more important to communicate to the model: 1. What you want it to do 2. How much effort you want it to spend 3. How it should verify that it did the right thing

Simple way to read this: a 1% move in rates changes the price about 7% either way. The 5% yield gets added on top no matter what. That's how you get +11.9% vs -1.9%. In 2020, with yields at 0.5%, there was almost no cushion. Same 1% move, roughly +8% or -7%.
Will 5.0% be the ceiling for the nominal Treasury yield? Maybe not, but for bond investors the risk-reward math has gotten considerably better. The 5% yield provides such a good cushion that if the 10-year yield were to fall 100 bps, an investor would make 11.9%, while only losing 1.9% if the yield were to rise to 6%.

They definitely didn’t cheat!
A Brown professor gave his students a take-home midterm exam. After suspecting many cheated using AI, he made the final in-person. The orange dots are the midterm scores and the gray dots are the final scores. Looks like all but 3 cheated on the midterm.

Fantastic.
During the press junket for Jurassic World: Evolution, a journalist took their entire interview time with Jeff Goldblum to have him read as Principal Skinner from THE SIMPSONS "Steamed Hams" episode, and it's amazing 😂👏

Merry SpaceX IPO Eve to all those who celebrate.
I’m at the bottom of a multi-layer SPV and am looking forward to the SpaceX IPO in much the same way a golden retriever looks forward to a car ride: - thrilled to be involved - no clue how cars work - unsure if going to the park or getting neutered

What part of the cycle is this?

At some point, a frontier model will get produced that largely satisfies the needs of the majority. Months later, that same model will, presumably, be replicated within a cheaper model- likely one that is open sourced and can be run on device. What happens then? This certainly isn’t a new thought. And it seems like, at our current point in time, the demand for the latest and greatest frontier model is overwhelming and people are more than willing to spend their tokens for this. But how long will that persist?
Citadel, is one of the most significant hedge funds, and they just dropped tokenomics … And it’s not what you would have expected

Without question, Tesla’s rabid shareholder base helped elevate their share price for a loooong time. A high stock price has an interesting trickle down effect because suddenly you can do a lot more- finance acquisitions with equity, raise cash by selling shares…
Replying to @paratroxinator
Elon is one of the best salespeople on the planet, if not the best He sells people on his vision for the future and in return he has raised more capital than anyone on planet earth and its not close

Incredible video.
Liftoff of Starship V3, from the dunes right outside the pad. This is the most insane shockwave action I have ever seen on video. Absolutely mad. 📽️ Me for @WeAreSpaceScout
