drk posted:Anyone have a a general rule of thumb for selling appreciated stock gambles? A couple of my 2022 picks are at or near +100%, which seems like as good a time as any to take some profit. Its not a serious amount of money (<$1000 between the two), but they would both be short term gains which does eat up some of the potential profit. reminds me of this q&a https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xIDhM366YM video is so old he refers to walmart as a growth stock

And they *suck* at online. So even though they are a cash machine, it does feel like they are in the "8th or 9th inning".

Forgot Postmark went private -- saw the cash in my account today. Took a bath on that one but nice having my hand forced versus holding the bag. e: also, if this is a safe space -- I still have some $DPZ I bought ages ago. Its dividend currently buys me two pizzas a quarter. It feels like I should exit this / how the gently caress is it worth so much, but at the same time, two pizzas a quarter and my cost-basis is $250. movax fucked around with this message at 20:10 on Jan 9, 2023 |

Sold some April 40p on ALBO today. Getting acquired by Ipssen for 42 plus an untradeable contingent for 10 if their new drug gets FDA approval. Will be done through a tender, expecting to close by end of 1Q. Margin requirement on Etrade is 100% though... maybe that will get adjusted downward a bit. Shouldn't really be any regulatory concerns here. I suppose these days that's a bigger "shouldn't" than it used to be though. I'm more worried about ipssen's financing running into issues if the EU completely melts down in the next 3 months. Relatively small deal, but its not pocket change to Ipssen.

pmchem posted:“Every week I see documents with 100+ editors,” he wrote to the roughly 18,000 people in Reality Labs. ”A meeting with 50+ people that took a month to schedule. Sometimes there is even a ‘pre-meeting’ with its own document. I believe the current situation is untenable.” Like... yes, that's a big issue, but it's hardly unsolvable, and the solution doesn't have to be firing tons of people. My company has over 100k employees and I've never seen a document with 100 editors, that's batshit. The only meetings with 50 people are all-hands, and you loving record the thing so people who weren't available can listen later, you don't have to wait a month to schedule it. Identify key stakeholders, create small working groups, reduce the number of people who have to sign off on anything. Empower low-level employees and their direct managers to make decisions. The poo poo that guy is describing is symptomatic of high level management being obsessed with micromanagement and control, and individuals terrified of making independent decisions. Also, don't stake your social media company's future on a loving VR play, of course. LOL. LMAO. In that interview he's insisting it's at the absolute core and the last thing they can or would cut. Insane.

So basically source #2 on Meta VR being startling inefficient (Carmack left late last year complaining of similar) https://www.theverge.com/2022/12/16/23513622/john-carmack-leaving-meta-virtual-reality-oculus-cto quote:If I am trying to sway others, I would say that an org that has only known inefficiency is ill prepared for the inevitable competition and/or belt tightening, but really, it is the more personal pain of seeing a 5% GPU utilization number in production.

Microsoft just announced they'd be offering ChatGPT* as a product (via an API in their cloud hosting solution, Azure) at a rate of $0.02/~750 words (1000 4 letter credits(-ish)) which roughly translates to $15/chonky fantasy novel so that looks like a ringing endorsement for text-based AI as a product. *Open AI** product **Open AI is anything but open

You can grab open-source chat AI software and run it on a cloud server for pennies too. There's plugins for discord. The big question is whether there's actually a technology moat that can be monetized. I think the actual asset is the big data set, not the bot that mines it and spits out more or less intelligible chunks/generic images based on that data. Every company with big data sets may be looking at licensing AI applications to work on them? The toys we're playing with as consumers aren't the big money I think, I think if there is big money it's the much less fun & sexy but more useful Big Data/Analytics/AI space that is already a relatively mature product category among cloud software vendors.

No promising AI company is going to be raising money from anyone but private investors like VCs, institutional investors, or already-existing trillion dollar companies like microsoft and google.laxbro posted:Microsoft has invested heavily in OpenAI. Between OpenAI and Blizzard they seem to be deploying their cash in seemingly smart ways in comparison to the other tech giants. Don't forget how they bought github and immediately used all the code on it to train a code generation bot. Space Fish posted:https://twitter.com/unusual_whales/status/1615391455270559744?t=WbWrNBVi4MokMB_NL9ieZQ&s=19 Many things have been foreshadowing the decline of USD as single world reserve currency. Idk if the US is going to invade saudi arabia like we did iraq and libya when they tried to sell oil in euros or another currency The most relevant indicator today of the fragmentation of the USD world order has been the lack of success of the sanctions on russia (we effectively cut them off entirely from the dollar system) in destroying their economy.

movax posted:Anyone else playing SiC (silicon carbide) and adjacent industries? It is a technology that has been around for ages (I designed around it about 12 years ago, and it’s been around since the 90s) but the renewed pressure on electrification (non passenger EV… talking construction equipment, newer trains, etc) + compactness have driven the interest to levels I haven’t seen in ages. (Ex: https://www.autonews.com/suppliers/borgwarner-gets-access-650m-silicon-carbide-devices) $AEHR is doing extremely well -- +40% since November. WOLF is over-valued but I've lowered my cost-basis in that.
