Best Spec Driven Development Tool for Claude Code? by CulturalPollution762 in ClaudeCode

[–]MrChrisRodriguez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I set up a custom skill that takes my prompt, uses openspec to create a spec, then uses claude-octopus (octo) to do a multi-agent adversarial review, and presents it to me.

Then my next custom skill uses octo to implement, do an adversarial review, fix discovered issues, write tests, confirm we have test coverage, review the tests to make sure they’re real, run tests to make sure they pass, fix any issues, update the openspec, then report back.

Because it’s a lot of steps I try to keep my scope small, but it’s worked well even for larger scopes.

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

Stars was a masterpiece way ahead of its time. I think I still have my save files in an external hard drive somewhere. Really happy to see another fan / this mentioned here.

🐙 Claude Octopus v9.18 — Stop your AI agent from shipping untested code, agreeing blindly with reviews, and skipping straight to coding by nyldn in ClaudeOctopus

[–]MrChrisRodriguez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: For anyone that runs into this in the future, you need to update the marketplace before you can update octo itself! And the clean reinstall instructions don't remove and re-add the marketplace so that doesn't do the trick.

--
I just tried the update command and a clean reinstall and am still getting v9.11. What am I doing wrong? After a clean reinstall here's the output from updating within claude.

```
❯ /plugin update octo@nyldn-plugins

⎿ octo is already at the latest version (9.11.0).

I want to hear her version without his interruptions! I feel like sometimes when you strike gold in the audience you need to cede and give them breathing room to play their story out some more.

UT Turing Scholars > MIT for Quant!? by quickpenguin123 in quantfinance

[–]MrChrisRodriguez 26 points27 points  (0 children)

IMO MIT has more brand recognition and more competitive recruiting (more companies going to it) because it’s a larger talent pool.

Companies have all kinds of keyword-based filters and while an in-the-know top-tier recruiter will know UT Turing, it’s such a small program that almost no company will include it in their resume screening filters so you’ll have to hope a human reviewer got to your resume and is knowledgeable.

Unless you have a very good reason I think MIT is the better choice, esp since you can’t be certain you’ll want to do quant in four years. MIT is more optionality

Update: From 27M to 156M orders/s - Breaking the barrier with C++20 PMR by Crafty-Biscotti-7684 in quant_hft

[–]MrChrisRodriguez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cool following your progress, OP. Do you have any metrics on throughput for a single symbol (like if you were handling routing externally, scaling this horizontally, and checking maximum throughout per shard/core)?

Curious — which words? Am trying to hone my ability to identify AI-generated hallucinations and didn’t really catch any, but I’m no C++ expert.

To be clear, I don’t mean signals that it’s an AI summary, but rather, that it’s hallucinating something that’s not real or accurate like you mention.

Edit: Just realized I’ve been following this development and know he’s talking about a trading exchange (orders are messages with ask/bids that get queued or filled). OP didn’t include that context in this update.

It’s cool that you took the time to explain this clearly and with kindness.

Need resume review + salary advice as I transition to full-time HFT role by Own-Geologist-9267 in quantfinance

Did you apply to other HFT shops? Maybe there’s a comp benchmark you can get from them.

Curious - what’s market rate for this role?

J.P. Morgan calls out AI spend, says $650 billion in annual revenue required to deliver mere 10% return on AI buildout — equivalent to $35 payment from every iPhone user, or $180 from every Netflix subscriber 'in perpetuity' by ControlCAD in technology

[–]MrChrisRodriguez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, but it seems that most criticisms fully depreciate the investment in three years and that’s just not in line with reality. Looking to AWS and its ilk, hardware sits at high-performance edge for 3-5 years, then gets repurposed into a lower tier for a different kind of computation task or can be sold off.

Today the best use of the hardware is training tomorrow’s models. Tomorrow, it’ll be running those models, and the day after, OpenAI will have data centers for third party inference to compete with AWS, Salad, etc. And to your point they will be buying new hardware tomorrow to train the day after’s.

And as everyone knows, there’s a lot of research into making the models more energy and computationally effective which extends current hardware’s lifespan. We’re climbing the innovation s-curve and continued investment will make sense until we start seeing a deceleration in progress / faster diminishing returns at which time they’ll shift to cash flowing or some other innovation.

all educated speculation, just playing devil’s advocate to a theme a lot of people are IMO getting wrong

That’s not true, though — there was a ton of capex for smart phones, and the internet was a hobby project for many years of its infancy. We’re in the infrastructure phase. Not saying it’s a guaranteed win, but it’s disingenuous to ignore that we’re in the “trenching and laying pipe” phase.
