I don't think thats necessarily true, they aren't really capacity constrained in practice (they might be behind the scenes and adjust training on the fly, but thats speculation), so wasting tokens effectively helps utilize their (potentially idle) inference GPU's

They add Claude Code to the pro plan yesterday: https://x.com/_catwu/status/1930307574387363948

How much do language models memorize?

New comment by mhmmmmmm in "TradeExpert, a trading framework that employs Mixture of Expert LLMs"

mhmmmmmm — Mon, 02 Jun 2025 14:43:39 +0000

Removing the "Market expert" which uses OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) also drops the sharpee from 5.01 to 1.88 while also increasing the max draw down to 13.29% (v.s. 9.70% for the index). I'd be very surprised if the pre training of the base model was the only source of leakage...

They certainly do, and also offer the tooling to the public: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/prompt-...

They also recommend to use it to iterate on your own prompts when using Claude Code for example

There is https://www.rwkv.com/ which is an LLM based on RNN's, thus having "infinite" context length, it comes with its own tradebacks though. (Notably that its impossible to actually store infinite information in the network, so it prunes based on which information it finds more important.)

Bybit was quite literally using Gnosis Safe for the compromised wallet.

> This is not something you can just log in on Binance and buy with cash in a single click.

You would've definitely been able to buy it with cash and a few clicks, for example using moonshot. (And I'm sure a couple other / similar platforms)

Is reliably detecting if code has any infinite loops feasible? Sounds like the halting problem.

So now I probabilistically spam a ton of different orders to on average get my desired fill... This just turns it into a "whoever is best at DoS'ing the exchange" game. As the orderbook fills with competitor orders it makes sense for yourself to also spam orders so each of your orders maintains the same probability of being filled

Taiwan Stock Exchange used to have quantized trading times (read "frequent batch auction"), but it led to worse price discovery and a bigger bid ask spread: https://focus.world-exchanges.org/articles/citadel-trading-a...

> Our analysis of the TWSE’s transition clearly demonstrates that continuous trading results in better liquidity provision, lower bid-ask spreads, more stable prices and enhanced price discovery, as well as higher trading volumes.

CLOB's force market participants to compete on pricing (which is only indirectly related to latency, since you can quote tighter if you know your orders won't get picked off by other, faster, traders) Taiwan used to have Batching style auction and it ultimately led to worse prices: https://focus.world-exchanges.org/articles/citadel-trading-a... > Our analysis of the TWSE’s transition clearly demonstrates that continuous trading results in better liquidity provision, lower bid-ask spreads, more stable prices and enhanced price discovery, as well as higher trading volumes.

Inflation incentivizes spending, money sitting in a bank account doesn't make the charts go up.

I mean a generation of bees takes atleast a year since only the queen is really reproducing, the worker bees themselves aren't exposed to any evolutionary pressure since they can't reproduce. (I guess they are by proxy, once their queen dies so does their lineage)
