I was at the Jump Crypto hackathon during the terra luna depeging. Jump crypto has a unique structure because as part of their investment, they get a chunk of coins to market make with. They have no requirement to be on the long side of the

have you seen the goop that chicken nuggets are made out of? Have you seen the McDonalds chickens and cows? They are estrogen-riddled monstrosities. The chickens can barley stand up because of how giant their breasts are.

Captcha's, rate limiting, slight changes to the way you interact such as changing words, changing positions, etc. This is a solved problem, but these things create friction for the user. And friction is the opposite of what modern tech

so what you're saying is they are not only copying the good parts of Tesla (Electrification) but also the bad parts (lying about future production?). Ford made 30k electric vehicles in 2021, 600k means a growth rate of %1900 in the spa

why do you need math for machine learning? Code first, learn the math as you go. Otherwise, you will learn a bunch of math you don't need when your actual goal is machine learning. Do you know pandas and scikit learn? If not, start the

Every step of the way some armchair comes up and concludes that Elon is broke and this deal won't go through. Why wouldn't he put up more Tesla as collateral? How do you know he can't get more financing? How much BTC, Doge an

It's interesting that people are using this moment to fault Elon, when it's one of his finest moments. Making an 'offer' on what you believe to be good faith. Hidden in your pocket, you know the other party is acting in

letting ordinary people invest in what they please does generate alot of harm for individuals who are indeed too stupid to spend their money wisely. But it also oppresses that class who didn't happen into a $1M. I'm a college educ
