Trade six types of strategies

If you have momentum trades, add in a system for mean-reversion. If you have trend-following trades, add some carry strategies. +5 from one strategy, could be -4 from the other and it'll auto-reduce scale

@Alex_TGH I'm too slick for them, my pricing algo uses the robo vacuum futures too

[Lionel Lightcycle @0xLightcycle]

Oh wow, you can place limit orders for Amazon now

on the flipside, i could see this as useful to overwrite bad memories. unsure of societal implications of good/bad

i think good, if it’s your own memories, you can make them what you want

[Lionel Lightcycle @0xLightcycle]

The reason to not do this is authentication of the lineage (i.e. you know that you took the photo)

It’s common for your brain to invent new memories of a time in the past based on stories.

For example: you don’t have photos of your 8th birthday, and someone tells you about the balloons - even if you don’t remember - your brain will fill in the memory with balloons

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

I said this to @citrini last night, but in the future, will we really need storage?

I take a ton of photos of my kids, and they are on my phone and in a cloud. But in the future, won't I just tell a model "generate a photo from my son's 7th birthday" and it'll be just as good?

Claude Code subsidy is about $0.13/M or ~200x vs full rates

Of course they're going to remove the subsidy over time

Next step is likely "credits - but with rollover"

[Lydia Hallie ✨ @lydiahallie]

To add some clarity: you don't pay extra. It's the same subscription, same price per month.

What's new our sub now covers two separate pools:

· Interactive → sub limits, unchanged
· Programmatic → new $20–$200 included(!!) credit, metered at API rates

[Lionel Lightcycle @0xLightcycle]

The bad thing about this isn't the wording -- because if it resolves as written, you can just lift it and file the lawsuit yourself

Unfortunately, you are actually betting on the counterparty - whether Polymarket will resolve it according to common-sense or not

[Lionel Lightcycle @0xLightcycle]

This is poorly specified - *anybody* can file (just just JPM) - it doesn't have to be accepted

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

🚨 NEW POLYMARKET: Chirayu Rana sued? https://t.co/OxtuMB8XZ5

[Lionel Lightcycle @0xLightcycle]

There is a simple solution to this

First, we create another prediction market whose sole purpose is

to bet on whether or not these ambiguous specs resolve to common-sense or letter-of-law

Then, we create another prediction market for that market.

We can group all of these markets into A, B, C tranches

THEN we just bet on the basket itself

[Lionel Lightcycle @0xLightcycle]

@QuantumHoneybee There used to be a meta that Polymarket vs Kalshi resolves these to "common sense" instead of "letter of law" but it's unpredictable

@fuckyourputs it’s not an American sports drink unless it has food coloring

[Lionel Lightcycle @0xLightcycle]

they had to rebrand “Calpis” to Calpico, because it sounded like “cow piss”

[“paula” @paularambles]

i firmly believe everybody would be drinking this if they rebranded

[Lionel Lightcycle @0xLightcycle]

It’s incredibly hard to change culture at a big co

You have to do stuff like this (seemingly wasteful) to pull it off fast

Easier to steer once the org is pointed the same way

Exclusive: Meta employees are “tokenmaxxing” and competing on an internal leaderboard called “Claudeonomics” for status as a token legend.

Over a recent 30-day period, total usage on the dashboard topped 60 trillion tokens.

@hajime20250823 You’re legally supposed to come to a full stop before making the right turn on red, which no American does

Yandex (Russia's version of google) publishes a bunch of useless stubs to official pypi repo to avoid this shadowing

It's a dumb method because they could have just ordered their package installs

[Lionel Lightcycle @0xLightcycle]

There’s another supply chain attack that can be mitigated by ordering your installs

separate internal packages from public packages and install internal packages first (prevents name shadowing attack)

Maybe paranoid, but free to do, might as well

[banteg @banteg]

claude code uses axios btw. i think the “package managers are evil” guy was right. at this point it makes no sense to use anything but pinned or delayed deps. possibly even vendored.

[Lionel Lightcycle @0xLightcycle]

Example of squatting https://t.co/BuKkVMHjzt

[Clément Dumas @Butanium_]

⚠️ Supply chain attack in progress: someone is squatting Anthropic-internal npm package names targeting people trying to compile the leaked Claude Code source.

`color-diff-napi` and `modifiers-napi` — both registered today, same person, disposable email. Do NOT install them. 🧵

[Lionel Lightcycle @0xLightcycle]

Claude Code works better autonomously if you don't give it focus

Now I make a bare tmux split even if I don't need it just to take focus away from the CLI

[Doug Colkitt @0xdoug]

It’s interesting that Claude Code seems to behave differently depending on if your terminal window is focused or unfocused

[Lionel Lightcycle @0xLightcycle]

I'm using worktrunk and custom CoW (copy-on-write) commands to handle this, will look at migrating to this built in to see how it differs

[Rob Zolkos @robzolkos]

Claude Code can use a .worktreeinclude file in your project root to automatically copy gitignored files (e.g. .env, .env.local, config/secrets.json) when Claude creates a worktree.

[Lionel Lightcycle @0xLightcycle]

LiteLLM got hacked, but it didn't even solve a good problem

It's trivial to make adapters to any provider formats as needed
