The quants came back with a vengeance.

宽客们报复性地回来了。

And it's so funny because I kind of see it even today with quants.

这很有趣，因为即使在今天， 我在宽客身上也看到了这一点。

There was a time when everyone thought the quants had figured it out.

曾经有一段时间，每个人都认为宽客们已经弄明白了。

Quantum quants hope their machines will boost profits by speeding up asset pricing, digging up better-performing portfolios and making machine-learning algorithms more accurate.

有量子计算加持的量化投资机构希望通过加速资产定价、挖掘表现更好的投资组合、提高机器学习算法的准确性来提升利润。

Most quants underperformed the markets, as well as human hedge funds, in 2020 and early 2021. aqr closed a handful of funds after persistent outflows.

在 2020 年和 2021 年初，大多数量化分析师的表现都逊于市场以及人类对冲基金。在持续资金外流后，aqr 关闭了少数基金。

First came the " quants" , or quantitative investors, who use data and algorithms to pick stocks and place short-term bets on which assets will rise and fall.

首先出现的是“宽客” ，即量化投资者，他们使用数据和算法来挑选股票， 并对资产的涨跌进行短期押注。

Like, he was apparently like a big wine guy, (Ethan laughs) and I know a bunch of quants who are really into wine and, like, trading wine and, like, it's so funny to see these kinds of parallels, like, decades later.

就像，他显然就像一个葡萄酒大佬，（伊森笑）， 我认识一群真正喜欢葡萄酒的宽客，比如，交易葡萄酒， 比如，看到这些类似的东西很有趣，比如，几十年之后。
