I have preferred rust for many years now, but we’ll be using models spitting out 500-1500 or more tokens/sec soon and rust compile times are glacially slow (while go is almost instantaneous).

j/c but why are we still maxing out at 1gb ethernet connections? why have the speeds essentially not progressed in 20 years? you can get a 40gb connection by just using usb-c on modern machines. what's going on? (curious about why

Typically I like to read HN comments for insightful discourse focused on details of the topic at hand by relevant experts. It is a terrible failing of HN that this useless comment is promoted to the top. It is like if there were a detailed

I once had a fender bender in a Tesla that cost 20k to fix (back in 2016). Downside of not having 3rd parties making the parts.

Most of the losses were from earnings multiples reverting back to historical norms… which is healthy.

Not just the democrats. Republicans, Bahamian officials, members of the media, regulators, etc. The most recent New York Times piece did not mention fraud or criminality a single time, painting SBF as someone who simply got in over his head

Yes, it was fractional (in the sense there wasn’t enough gold to redeem), but the peg held. Economies grow much faster than gold reserves! The US still has the most gold in the word by a vast margin.

the ironic thing is that the US did tons of direct check-type helicopter money and yet our growth is healthier and more robust than anyone else in the world (and the dollar has also outperformed). given other countries did not undergo sim

When I hear it from business leaders, there are three logical reasons 1) exposure to the housing market 2) poor performance by the company (its the economy's fault!) or 3) an excuse to trim fat from a high-margin company that's aw

I generally agree that no one that isnt a professional devops person (or has spent months tuning IAM and route53 policies) should be using AWS. That said, GCP is so much easier to use and easily usable by a novice because it has a lot of go

Sam Walton was about 45 when he started walmart. I've made career pivots several times, most recently this year, at age ~39. Just do whatever you're interested in... major pivots require the willingness and stamina to drink from a

so far as distribution, 25% to early investors and founding employees seems pretty close to market. a "pump and dump" would insinuate that founders/other management sold significant holdings during the run-up and made fraudul

They would be paying CP issuers with USD out of a bank account (the same USD used for creation/redemption of USDT).

and btw there are liquid tether credit risk products you can trade if you believe that tether is going to collapse that cost around 20bp / month (so something like 40x payout on annualized premium if tether goes to 0).

You deposit USDC as collateral into dydx (or another derivatives exchange) and then you go short the perpetual (kind of like a future). I made 150% on my account equity shorting Luna when UST fell under 0.95.
