absolutely not a sign that private equity is a bubble built on a pyramid scheme!
Until very recently, the industry was growing so fast that funds were able to pay out investor withdrawals with cash from new investors, as opposed to having to sell down investment portfolios or otherwise tap the proceeds of their loans.

That is no longer possible, as investors overall are now pulling more money from the industry than they are putting in.

Ok, this is fycking DARK Why do you not just cancel all the bets when someone dies?
“We don’t list markets directly tied to death. When there are markets where potential outcomes involve death, we design the rules to prevent people from profiting from death,” he wrote. He then posted the underlying rules of the bet, which read “If <leader> leaves solely because they have died, the associated market will resolve and the Exchange will determine the payouts to the holders of long and short positions based upon the last traded price (prior to the death).”

Trans friendly underwear brand Tomboy X got a letter from the FDA warning them that chest binders are considered medical equipment. This is more BS from this anti trans administration.

Y.T.’s mom pulls up the new memo, checks the time, and starts reading it. The estimated reading time is 15.62 minutes. Later, when Marietta [her boss] does her end-of-day statistical roundup, sitting in her private office at 9:00 P.M., she will see the name of each employee and next to it, the amount of time spent reading this memo, and her reaction, based on the time spent, will go something like this

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. Meta and crowdstrike should be embarrassed by this #ai #cybersecurity paper ai.meta.com/research/pub... Somehow an LLM correctly answering some CISSP multiple choice questions (developed by another LLM!) equals “reasoning” 🙄

This Nexar write up by @404media.co is frightening. I had no idea that so many people’s dashcans are just broadcasting video to their cloud for data mining and resale But this bit is really chilling
One organization with access to Virtual Cam data is listed as “IDF,” according to the document. It says this organization has access to data inside Israel. Fernandez-Ruiz said “We do not work with the Israeli Defense Forces.” The Israel Defense Forces did not respond to a request for comment. Nexar is headquartered in Tel Aviv and New York.
