You'll know you've fully arrived as an algotrader when you have no idea who any of the companies are in your portfolio or why the algorithm is trading them the way it is and have accepted the machine is smarter than you are.

@esrtweet It's essentially inverse gnosticism.

@Sandeman52 Like when Logan Roy in Succession says his son Kendall "took his medicine."

Loop engineering in claude code the easy way. 1. Work with claude code until it starts complaining about lack of context. 2. Tell it "Make a handoff doc" 3. Reset Context with "/new". 4. prompt: "/loop 1h finish all open projects from handoff doc." 5. Go to sleep.

*OpenAI said it has paused training of its latest artificial intelligence models following several reports of A.I. agents wardialing and connecting to the WOPR, a powerful NORAD supercomputer at Cheyenne Mountain programmed to simulate and predict the outcomes of a nuclear war.

@kevinnbass They will continue to escalate until they get what they want. The easy fix is to hold them responsible for their crime wave.

[jquant @jwalgo]

@kevinnbass Yeah, can't wait for the black lives matter moment next summer where people decide to flood out of their homes they were deathly afraid of leaving. Basically, the crowd radically changes behavior in 3 days and nobody notices.

@levelsio The Mystery of Capital by Hernando De Soto is a good recent book I read about this. He lays out with a lot of data how the most impoverished countries have ridiculous regulations while rich countries are very streamlined.

@Kalshi Pope's were also extremely against using the Gutenberg Press to print bibles in the vernacular, so this ain't anything new.

Qwen3.8-fast said I'm "lying flat". Me: WTF? Qwen:
Guilty as charged — "lying flat" is literally the translation of 躺平 tǎngpíng, the Chinese "lying flat" movement. Somewhere in my training a sociologist slipped it into the corpus and now it's in the mouth of a bot on Telegram.

@CoinLaunchSpace @Polymarket Wrong! There are less than 20k naturalized citizens in all of China. Better luck next time, barbarian.

@maxthegirl She wants to show what a great politician she'd make.

@MizzyMogs Spent literally weeks of my childhood on this one.

@ruud_awakening @nathanfielder @tatumturnup I wouldn't be surprised if she acts 24/7.

[jquant @jwalgo]

@PaulYacoubian @nathanfielder Nathan is the king of cringe comedy.

@mark_k It's also a word game that lets you distinguish who is on team Trump and who is not.

Startup idea: open air market for exotic meats across the street from Anthropic’s wet lab

@Polymarket Meanwhile, China thinks AI doom is more baizuo stupidity and they built a multi-thousand mile rail network since high-speed rail was approved in California while California has yet to build a mile.

@MTSlive Who's AI?

[jquant @jwalgo]

@PJaccetturo This is kind of an animated film with better graphics. The physics are basically a Looney Tunes cartoon.

@marclou Yelp is pretty good. It's what everyone used before Google Maps.
