What is the optimal tick size in an orderbook? Ticks are the minimum price increment on an orderbook. When ticks are too large, quoted spreads widen. Takers pay more, sophisticated queue-jumping games arise for makers, and ultimately off-exchange venues undercut the lit book by…

We will see the "super-app-ification" of all platforms. Every platform will have native chats, every platform will have payments, every platform will have a social feed. As the cost of software generation falls, all platforms will competitively converge upon each other.

Why do LLMs insert so many emojis into code documentation? Who in the training data was enumerating with 1⃣, 2⃣, 3⃣, 4⃣ and throwing fire emojis in readme's?

In some sense bitcoin mining is also a form of alchemy where coal is turned into digital gold

What’s the opposite of meditation? I don’t want to quiet my mind, I want a loud mind. I don’t want to clear away my thoughts, I want my thoughts to be clear. I don’t want non-attachment, I want to care deeply. Meditation makes me feel more dead, when I want to feel more alive.

YouTube's a $500b business. Why is their search bar design so bad? Is beautiful design a free lunch like @patrickc suggests? Or does design just not matter at all? It's a deep mystery to me. What users demand gets built. Why is it bland private equity slop and not cathedrals?

In PoF, Ilinski models arbitrage as the lattice-curvature in a gauge field, where "no arbitrage" conditions literally mean zero curvature. Starting from a linear plaquette action and taking the continuum limit, the gauge-invariant action collapses to Geometric Brownian Motion…

So much is going to change in the coming years. But what’s not going to change? In our business, users are always going to want lower prices, faster delivery, wider asset selection, better analytics, and more automation. Even in a post-AGI world this will always be true.

So much of early mathematics was born from cartography and astronomy. Before reading the answer, give this question a think by yourself!

Early internet markets often start as transgressive hobbyist outlets. Reddit was mostly NSFW content, Craigslist had erotic services, Uber was illegal taxis, PayPal was mostly beanie baby escrow and online gambling. Dismissing onchain capital markets as primarily memecoin…

Aggregators will dominate single-venue markets. Users start by trading through the UI of the market pioneer, and then as competitors roll in aggregators become a superior UX. Kinetic/Jupiter > Raydium/Orca/Meteora Kinetic/Axiom/Photon > Pump/Launchlab ? > Polymarket/Kalshi
