>Isn’t it futile as an individual? HFT is, more or less... but algo trading in general can be as simple as executing strategies you would otherwise manually perform. I believe there's still enough alpha out there.

Yep! It was a total game changer for me.

I like to get things "out of my head" and just on to "paper." Once I do that, I can sort them out better. I have an app called UpNote which works really well. For things with deadlines, I use ClickUp. I personally thin

Ah, I see what you mean. Yes, it will be hard to get much from Simons. I think he is a man that knows his strengths and weaknesses and I feel he keeps to his domain. He doesn't even talk much about that though, haha.

Well, not sure how else to say it but there's 0 benefit in Simons saying _anything_ that might give insight into how Rentec operates. He's been secretive about it his entire life. Imo, there is no "secret." There is ju

Could they shoot down the ISS, if they wanted? Isn't that thing moving insanely fast? haha. Not a space guy but always found it interesting.

Seeing what "low-code" people can accomplish with WordPress is both horrifying and amazing.

This sounds like terribly "old-fashioned" thinking... at the same time, not everything new is good. I'm afraid you're right though. Seems short form is destroying attention spans across the board. I even notice it in

What happened to Google? Third story in a short time I've seen about an employee doing something incredibly stupid (and) if not outright criminal.

Well, IMO its certainly better than emails. I think the main problem is people think they can just search for context when they forget it... but then you eventually forget what you need to remember :) I find wikis to be pretty useful.

I was actually trying to be _less_ polarizing in my phrasing. The issue isn't that ppl are under the impression they got to take these items home. The issue is that there is 0 reason on earth for schools to be introducing kids to butt

This should 100% be a required teaching for any CS program at universities. Being able to glide through your code is a wonderful thing and I feel many never experience it until much later in their career.

Yea. I was actually shocked at how many people use Windows for development work. I could sorta see it if you're frontend but backend... tooling has been so much smoother in POSIX. It's funny how I see some devs stuck in WSL for

Something like this is always posted whenever Project Veritas comes up. I agree they're mostly finding things for outrage culture and are generally annoying... sometimes they uncover legitimately concerning things though. That said, h

Yep. Destroying an autonomous fleet would be easy with a couple million $ and a missile... but it could also be done for nearly $0 with some intuition (and depending on how easy they are to fool)

This is already happening in this small community I made on reddit, lol https://robswc.substack.com/p/chatgpt-is-inadvertently-spamm... On a _much_ smaller scale though.

I've noticed (now even with personal experience) that with Chinese projects its usually form over function. You pull back the curtain and its vaporware. I know this can be said for a lot of projects in the western world too... China

Is there much of a market, given that they already use the tools mentioned? Genuinely curious. I've always hated sales but would love to work on making existing solutions better.

Reddit mods, for the most part, don't need money. I imagine there's tons that would even pay money to "remain" as a mod if they could. Many reddit mods are motivated by nothing more than some semblance of power over oth

That is one of my biggest issues with Reddit. One big gaslighting operation. Even if you agree with 9/10 opinions, If you disagree with one, you are made out to be an “other” and an adversary. Just look at how dis-functional it can be

Not that taking some ideas from Europe is a good or bad thing... but I would be hesitant to emulate Europe's approach to tech. The difference in salaries for high-skilled labor has been diverging for decades and in a lot of cases resul

Not directly related to Unions... but look at salaries for SDEs in Europe compared to the US. You can almost 2x-3x a salary for the same job. A large factor is that European companies don't take risks. At least, compared to the US.
