Opulence

Some have it. Some dream about it. Others will make commercials featuring it. Funny commercials featuring russian oligarchs, extremely beautiful ladies and giraffes. Like this:

but opulence will also blind you in more ways than one. For example: have you seen the poker playing dogs from the beginning of the commercial ?! :) ).

The return of Uncle Benon

So the war in Uganda is calming down (according to: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/war/uganda.htm). Since they aren’t fighting I assume they need some other thing to do. This naturally leads to movies. The following is one of their productions (The Return of Uncle Benon an “action packed movie”). Enjoy and don’t forget to get your copy now!.

Wall Street, Mathematics and statistics.

Found a very interesting movie on Sam’s blog. It’s a movie about the quants and the financial models used on Wall Street to model and in the end trade risk. Very very interesting.

There a particularly interesting part (somewhere between 28:00 and 31:00 mark) about a “quant’s manifesto”. People like simplicity and beauty in their models of world too much. Beauty and simplicity is very good in a working theory but if the theory doesn’t work when simple then forcing simplicity will not really work.

Watch it below:
