I work at a trading firm. RIP to the GOAT, the god of quants.Reading about him and RenTec, back in high school, was one of the first things that got me attracted to the field.

Any good resources to learn about that?

Hope they fire SVB UK's head of risk assessment. They definitely don't want total wokesters like her running things.

What does my post have to do with Hindus having/not having a land of their own?
5.
by 22SAS 4y ago
Not all of us Indians are Hindus and have some caste assigned to us.

Most immigration to the US was white based till 1965.

by 22SAS 4y ago
The issue is that Americans with half-baked knowledge think that all Indians have a caste assigned to them, or that India has a national level caste allocation policy. For Americans who hate India, this gives them more ammo to hate us.

Thanks for sharing that with me. I'd like to respond to this OP (don't have a Twitter account): https://twitter.com/mSanterre/status/1622015664042164224 I actually have done one of those things. I work i

My bad! Should've said "water is wet" or maybe run my response through ChatGPT, maybe that'd have caught it and offered a replacement!

My point exactly. If I interpret OP's statement correctly, that chatGPT can build complex systems from scratch in 10 years. Then according to that statement, the only adaptation is to choose a new career because it has made almost all

So, a LLM, trained extensively on StackOverflow and other data (possibly the plethora of LC solutions out there), is fed a bunch of LC questions and spits out the correct solutions? In other news, water is blue. It is one thing to train an

I work in the HFT space. Jane Street in not an HFT, they are not trading in a very latency sensitive asset class.

by 22SAS 4y ago
Both. If one is on a competitive exchange or a latency-sensitive asset class, need to be both smart and fast. Also, strategies change all the time and are mostly the domain of quants and traders. What they did a year ago, could very well be

I work at an HFT. I am expecting most of the major firms, especially Citadel Securities, lobby hard against this. While non-competes on our side are paid, they're a pain in the ass to navigate if one is a visa worker (my case). So, I a

I work for a market maker. Have a maximum possible one year NC. Thinking of doing something similar in case my firm slams me with NC > 6 months, when I resign.

I write low latency C++ for a living. Read "A Tour of C++", focusing on the STL and the basics of the language, basics of templates. Anything else related to STL, look at cppreference.

by 22SAS 4y ago
Not all of them do it that way. The HFT I work with, pays the greater of base salary or 75% of base+bonus averaged over the last two years.

One of the best quant firms, TGS, is located in CA and enforces non-competes no problem. They had an employee sue, his NC got waived but he had to pay 7-figures to TGS.

This! Tech influencers on YouTube are using these bad examples, to scare people into believing that ChatGPT will take over programming jobs. The day when AI technology can fix bugs in a multi-million line codebase, make improvements to it;

If it is 8.5 billion light years away and was traveling at the speed of light (100% instead of 99.99%) wouldn't it take 8.5 billion light years? Wonder how you got to the 850K years figure.

If they're going to stick in trading then that doesn't matter because non-competes are standard in the industry, so everyone will understand. Some take it as a way to get some paid downtime. A friend of mine, who joined my firm, w

A lot of the stuff in trading firms is proprietary and pretty secretive like trading strategies, how their systems achieve some level of latency, if they have FPGA/HW teams then what are their capabilities like. When an employee resign

>While I'm sure no one will care to enforce it Pretty right. In the HFT world, we have people going on non-competes all the time. During that time, most firms do not pull their visa petition from USCIS, pay continues every two weeks

Currently on Emacs 28, on my personal machines. I see that there is a Emacs 29 pretest version available, for Windows. Are all Linux users building Emacs 29 from source?

That is incredibly funny.

I work in HFT, and have seen lots of people from India, China, who are traders and quants, do just that. If they're good, they get big bonuses, save them for a few years and apply for an EB-5. With devs it's a longer path to get t
