Okay, this is the best one I have seen. Thank you.

Voluntas | Remote | Full Time | Software Engineer

Voluntas is a trading firm written 100% in Rust. We run systematic strategies, currently specializing in prediction markets, looking to expand our systems more broadly.

We're looking for someone passionate about data collection, clean abstractions, and processing trillions of rows of data. We care about the quality of the code we write, and we prioritize time for our engineers to properly build their systems, instead of pressuring them to churn out AI generated code.

If you're interested, send an email to jobs@voluntas.io with a little bit about yourself. We'll respond with a link to our engineering challenge (in Rust).

Not to be too pedantic, but with some napkin math, I don't think this is true. Looking for clarification!!

I downloaded Binance's self published market data (https://data.binance.vision/), calculated spot and futures volume for the past year, and then applied their *highest fee tier* on both sides of the volume (for every $1 traded, they generate a fee on the taker and the maker. the fee rate is asymmetrical).

Spot revenue worked out to $7.6B USD, perps revenue worked out to $13.8B

This is an upper bound on the fees charged on volume. Binance also scams their users with a b-book, has DMM deals, etc.

I don't want to get into all that today.

But the final result is that they print somewhere in the range of $20B per year on fees. I guess CZ also has huge stockpiles of BTC and stuff. A 1% rise in BTC price probably means more for them than their actual fees, LOL.

All this to say, I think $5.6B significantly hurts.

See Google's stock price today. Their ads business slowed down a bit, and their stock tanked 10%. If binance was publicly traded, I imagine a similar affect would be demonstrated on their price.

I climb the mountains because I am proud of myself, and I am proud of my own development. Not because I want someone to pat me on the back.

My outlook on life is that it is an experiment where you see how you can develop yourself throughout it. This growth is difficult and beautiful.

I am proud of myself, and the person I have become. I surround myself with people on the same mission.

This article describes a future like WALL-E. It sounds very lonely. I'll be sure to be in the pocket of people who are like minded, and set on their own pursuits.

I am actively choosing an existence where I don't get everything I want. It's the effort that makes it mean something to me, and it's the restrictions that make life worth living.

It might be useful to know that I programmed for >50% of my life, starting when I was 12. It was a huge part of my identity for most of my life. I was known to be extremely good at it. Think: newspaper articles, CEOs flying me out, etc.

Overcoming this entanglement of identity, ego, and competence was one of my proudest achievements in the past 5 years.

I am mostly at peace now, always trying to go further. I hope people like the author can find peace as well.

This take seems shortsighted. There's something to be said for doing things because they are enjoyable. People cook for themselves because they enjoy the process, not just the meal. I climb mountains because it makes me feel good -- I wouldn't take a gondola to the top even if it existed. The 100m race is not run by motorcycles.

There's more to life. Perhaps we will value eachother on an even *more* human level, based on how kind and interesting someone is, rather than their economically useful skills and their bank account.

I'm keeping this short but I have more to say to corroborate these points.

Yeah I'll have to figure out opencode, never used it before.

I care the most about quality. It can be more expensive, and slower. My problems with the AIs are always intelligence related/effort related.

So I'm not sure if those smaller models you listed will be effective, given that I am having to turn to chatgpt.com's Pro to get quality answers.

Interested in Kimi & DS

Ah good point on the open weights. I'll certainly be poking into deepseek soon. Any preference with the Chinese models? Tips?

I've been working on building up my AGENTS.md file over time. It has certainly improved things. My core point is that even without these advantages, chatgpt.com provides deeper insights with their $200/mo ai...

Something is up.

Thanks for the response! I like the idea of pitting the various model families against eachother.

A bit token expensive, though. Especially when it isn't part of the subscription.

This is good, thank you

Why is this at the top of hackernews?

They posted on X about supporting this when someone was spamming them with requests
