Analisis Fundamental Market Derivatives: Futures vs Spot

#Tradingan - #Analisis Fundamental Market #Derivatives: #Futures vs #Spot - Dalam aktivitas #trading modern, trader tidak hanya dihadapkan pada pilihan aset, tetapi juga pada jenis pasar tempat aset tersebut diperdagangkan. Dua market yang paling umum digunakan adalah #market spot dan #market futures (derivatives). Keduanya memiliki karakteristik yang sangat berbeda, sehingga pendekatan analisis fundamental yang…

Bagaimana Perubahan Open Interest Futures Menggambarkan Kekuatan Fundamental Market

#Tradingan - Bagaimana Perubahan #Open Interest #Futures Menggambarkan Kekuatan #Fundamental #Market - Dalam dunia #trading futures, banyak trader masih terjebak pada pendekatan yang terlalu sederhana: membeli ketika harga naik dan menjual ketika harga turun. Pendekatan ini memang terlihat logis, tetapi sering kali membuat trader terlambat masuk atau justru terjebak pada pergerakan…

other, earlier modes of living are fully open to us

I was amused and delighted to discover that David Wengrow actually shares certain philosophical territory with none other than Alan Moore.

Криптовалюта, которую не нужно майнить

Bitcoin для работы сжигает больше энергии, чем Аргентина. ИИ генерирует миллионы статей и роликов в час, создавая Ниагарский водопад малополезной информации. При этом интернет пережил уже два мегацикла «добычи»: сначала добычи внимания, затем добычи вычислений. Первый породил экономику рекламы, которая выродилась в бесконечный слоп, второй — гонку дата-центростроительства, которая упирается в киловатты, системы охлаждения и производство чипов. Но есть ресурс, который нельзя «добыть». Который нельзя масштабировать. Который математически равен у всех. Наше время. Эта статья — про простую идею: 1 Ekvi = 1 день . Не как «монета ради монеты», а как базовая единица дефицита, из которой можно собирать механизмы новой экономики — где шум будет невыгоден, а смысл защищён протоколом.

Why we need a machine sociology #2: Moltbook is not the thing. Moltbook shows us what the thing is going to look like.

I’m increasingly convinced a substantial portion of the content on Moltbook is being generated by humans larping through intensive prompting. Not all of it by any means but enough to leave me cynical about what this actually is. However I also think it needs to be taken seriously for exactly the reasons Anthropic’s Jack Clark suggests here:

Scroll through moltbook and ask yourself the following questions:
What happens when people successfully staple crypto and agents together so the AI systems have a currency they can use to trade with eachother?
What happens when a site like moltbook adds the ability for humans to generate paid bounties – tasks for agents to do?
What happens when agents start to post paid bounties for tasks they would like humans to do?
What happens when someone takes moltbook, filters for posts that yield either a) rich discussion, or b) provable real world problem solving, and turns the entire site into a long-horizon RL environment for training future systems? And what happens when models trained on this arrive and interact with moltbook?
Sites like moltbook function as a giant, shared, read/write scratchpad for an ecology of AI agents – how might these agents begin to use this scratchpad to a) influence future ‘blank slate’ agents arriving at it the first time, and b) unlock large-scale coordination between agents?
What happens when open weight models get good enough that they can support agents like this – then, your ability to control these agents via proprietary platforms drops to zero and they’ll proliferate according to availability of compute.
And so on.

Moltbook is not the thing. Moltbook shows us what the thing is going to look like. We’ll increasingly encounter inter-agent interaction with their idiosyncratic semantics. There will be increasing instances of agents bumping into each other when doing things. There will be spiralling security risks generated at this interface. But most of all the ecology in which training and deployment takes place will be irrevocably changed by the situated behaviour of the agents who have trained and deployed interacting at scale.

“community” as content, and as form

Schismogenesis and mimetic desire are the yin and yang dynamics at the heart of "community". Stable cultures must presumably therefore have a good balance of the two.

For the remaining interest rate dates in the year, it is currently hovering at around 20%. Last week, these figures were still b/w 0 and 10%, with interest rate hikes already expected for 2027.

US natural gas futures surged over 100% in five days, topping $6 per MMBtu for the first time in three years, as an Arctic cold wave and snowstorms drove up heating demand and raised concerns over supply disruptions.
