We pay very competitive on the cash side (over 200k for exceptional engineers), and have offer options that are 10x more competitive on company stake side than other companies (up to 20% for exceptional engineers, but with lower cash as a t

(fetchfox CEO here) I have a few pragmatic reasons why I want to use a crypto token, instead of traditional instruments. The first one is liquidity timing. With a crypto token, you can have 24/7 trading and liquidity from basically day

I checked the code and found the issue. It's a result of Gemini's larger context window. Basically, the Foxtrot scraping library sends the page in chunks. The chunk size is capped at the max context length of each model, which for
