For 4 vs 3, you’re saying the same thing.

Edit: after upgrading the software, it works

Agreed, not worth making a huge effort toward an advanced system for measuring an ATS until you’ve really built out at scale

Yeah definitely. Don’t want to have an algo that makes money when times are slow but then blows up/does nothing when market volume is 10x

Re:Bybit sees over $4B 'bank run' after crypto's biggest hack on Sunday February 23, 2025 @03:53PM (#43153113)
The amount of BTC in circulation is increasing per year as well. There’s a finite amount of gold on Earth.

Real estate is definitely not “infinite”. Especially if you consider arable land and weather patterns.

Finite amount of gold as well. Finite amount of bitcoin cash as well. Finite amount of real estate as well.

Re:US Mint sheets of uncut currency on Monday January 06, 2025 @09:37AM (#42610874)
First part of your comment is right, but your reasoning is wrong. A couple years ago, YouTube changed the visibility of negative comments, such that positive comments are prioritized (can’t like a comment if you don’t even see it).

This was also around the time they removed the thumbs up/down count.

This was to prevent creator burnout; imagine if every video you put out had some snarky diss against you in the comments.

I’m still not sure what Apple Intelligence does
