A hedge fund is named such because they (traditionally) hedge against risk. Thus, whether the stock goes up or down, the hedge fund can make money (and lose money if it stays flat).

This fund clearly failed on the hedging. No point in using a hedge fund at that point, might as well have just bought the stock (or options if you're crazy).

The expensive part is the training, once the NNs are trained, they are significantly cheaper to run (and there are a lot of optimizations you can do to make them a LOT more efficient).

> Tacking them on where?

Annual or registration fees. An extra $150-$200 per period in many states, with some of them charging more based on weight.

For example, New Jersey charges an additional $1080 to register a battery electric vehicle, which is four years worth of the $270/yr fee they will start charging you on year five and beyond.

> I've been thinking about swapping a worn out ICE in a classic car with a Tesla crate motor.

Tesla doesn't do crate motors, and Tesla drivetrains are traverse axles which are not drop-in replacements for classic cars. What you may be thinking of is some third party solution?

The Martian flower formation is pretty cool.

It should be illegal.

There are two ways sanctions work:

1: They are a negative economic factor. Over the long term, growth will be slower, meaning their army will grow relatively weaker and weaker. Biden tried to use this method of sanctions. The obvious example is North Korea.

2: An outright blockade. This can severely damage the economy, which is what happened in Gaza and Trump is trying to do in Iran (with apparent success, although it's hard to untangle the various factors there).

When the dictator controls the press, there is no way to avoid that.

Packet filtering is a different problem than red team hacking.

While your points are true, they've also committed crimes that have drawn the attention of the FBI. It's reasonable for them to be scared at this point, even if they are using the opportunity to do what they do.

I appreciate the defense of art, and the need for human communication and touch through music, but we're talking about pop music. It doesn't communicate much.

China has attacked most of its neighbors, but can you possibly justify their ongoing military incursion into Bhutan? Do you think it was to protect national security?

You have a very strong emotional opinion for an admitted ignoramus. If you calm down, I'll be happy to discuss this point with you rationally, otherwise I'll just leave you stewing in your emotional ignorance.

China sees taking Taiwan as in their interests, and indeed, controlling the entire first island chain to be in their interests.

Currently the US is involved in two different wars. The US weapon supply is depleted, but it will be rebuilt, stronger than before. If China does not move militarily now, then they will not have another window of opportunity like this one for a long, long time.

The first one you mean? Weird minority opinion, but you're entitled to it.

The one and only thing that matters to the mainstream modern media outlet is reactions, because people don't care about news any more, they just want to feel something.

Why would you doubt it? China has never been reticent to enter war in any way, and certainly has been provoking for the last couple decades.

In the Chinese worldview, peace can only come though the sword of the emperor.
