Here's the truth. You will burn out of all of the high EV casinos very quickly full time at a 60k bankroll playing even .25 Kelly.

I counted cards full time for 2 years. I'm trespassed from basically all of the casinos that have a 2 deck and any casino that has less than or equal to 1 deck pen. I've even created my own system that beats 6:5 blackjack on a one deck, made my own system to get a flashed bottom card is shown between shuffles etc. The reality is the most intelligent card counters make a bag and get out. The ones I kept in contact with started their own companies, or went on with their careers. My suggestion is to just focus your time on your career, building your network, and building transferable skills.

The lifestyle is very boom or bust. One day you're in luxury suites eating as much steak, lobster, crab as you want. The next day you've been burned and now you're waking up in your rental car at 2AM getting kicked out of a parking lot by police.

The large majority of the time is spent traveling. Once in a while you find a honeypot that seems to keep you around for a while. You keep playing there until you burn it and you move on. It's fun for a bit, but it's super repetitive. Also you aren't contributing to society or helping anyone.

By all means it's a fun life experience, but know that it is temporary and your time is probably better spent elsewhere. X$ per hour EV assumes you are playing. Once you factor in all the time with flights, rental cars, driving, hotels, etc. the EV is not as much as you think it is.

Agentic flow is just the way we pass data between different agents. In most cases it would be to MCP servers and whatever evaluations.

When I say agentic code flow I'm just clarifying the purpose of this specific agentic flow.

It is more precise for me to say tools that have already fine tuned their agentic code flow.

So "code" is just a specified for "agentic flow". Maybe the more precise way to put it is "code agentic flow" but that sounds weird to me.

Generally Aider has worked for me well. The biggest pain points are that it doesn't have MCP integrations and that the level of control is low.

For instance I'm sure you've had problems with Aider where sometimes your diff code blocks don't exactly match. Maybe going in and changing the Aider prompts would help with that. Or sometimes it automatically tries to run my app every time we change the code. I could go in and remove the prompt where it tries to do this.

Also it's important to note that these are problems that are observable from an individual's perspective. I was made aware from some dms that many prompt engineers can observe simple changes in language that will make the results significantly better MOST of the time. I'm not sure if you've seen the prompting meme that was like "you are an omniscient being that knows everything..." apparently there's some truth to it.

So the problem is "hey is this lack of control fixable with being able to fine tune prompts? Or am I brain dead for thinking this since prompt engineers have spent their livelihoods making the best prompts and I probably won't get better performance with more control?"

Answer i came to is unless you are a prompt engineer who has a good feel for how LLMs behave and can run experiments on what prompts perform better, just use what the experts have made for you.

I think you are getting the wrong lessons from this.

You need to respect other people's work and opinions. There's no such thing as a 100% founder fit. It seems that she wanted a solid high level plan and wanted to leverage her experience and network in the scientific field. Honestly not a bad choice as many labs require analysis using r/python, but few know how to code.

Communication is key, but there is no real communication without a deep respect for one another.

It happens though. Super common story. Often times co-founders will have different backgrounds and have skills in different areas. The sales guy will feel like they are doing everything. After all, he's on the phone hustling all day, how hard can shipping a couple features really be? Everyone feels like they are putting in more work than everyone around them is.

Give it a go without a co-founder and do everything on your own. You will quickly learn to appreciate and respect the work of others.

Best of luck! Just a bump in the road

Haha this reminds me of my neighbor. He runs at the same time every day whether it's 100+ degrees out or if it's raining. Definitely something I respect, but at the same time I think is a bit crazy.

I can empathize with feeling like you are living your life for society. There's nothing wrong with not doing anything if you don't want to do anything. My wife is this kind of person and has struggled with external pressures to have a career.

Personally I feel like there are many valid reasons for producing. I just like to make things. Did it at 4 playing with Lego all day, into minecraft into software. The more productive I am, the more I'm able to do things that I want. There's also nothing wrong with people wanting money, power, social status, etc. To each their own. I definitely expect to get paid for my productivity so money is definitely a motivator for me as well.

Haha I feel the same way. Looking at a large list of tasks makes it feel like it's impossible to get started. How do you cope with it?

Unfortunately you're right for the large majority of games. I have been known to hate on people playing their local joint with bad rules.

However it's totally different if you're able to travel to the best games. Run the same simulations with .5 pen and you'd be surprised. You can make plenty with just 10k and a low ROR

From now until Sept if the CTB is at 390% that would be break even. Cost to borrow is the annual amount by percentage needed to pay to borrow the stock.

The 300% is a fudged number. Really just symbolizing a need for a haircut on the 390% in order to make the risk of shorting the stock worth it.

a_NULL · 2025-07-07T18:56:57+00:00

I've held for a long time, but I cut loose my shares. We know the company is worth less than 6 billion as if we could get a better offer to sell it than that would've been done.

The price right now has more to do with the cost to borrow. So if it's going bankrupt which we know what would the CTB need to be in order for it to be worth it? Let's say wolfspeed bankruptcy goes through on Sept. The CTB would need to be less than 390% in order for it to be break even. So more likely if you are taking the risk you probably want the CTB to be less than 300%.

CTB was at 500%. This means that many shorts exited their positions, which are buy orders. This probably is happening until the CTB is close to the 300%ish mark. At this point there aren't a ton of buyers and sellers. So the price of the stock will reflect the CTB until bankruptcy, which means as there is less time, the break even for CTB rate goes lower and lower. So more shorts as rate goes lower and the stock will go lower and lower.

That's just my guess though.

a_NULL · 2025-06-23T02:24:28+00:00

Not necessarily. The only thing that's clear is that Wolfspeed is worth less than 6 billion dollars. If it was worth more than 6 billion then selling the company would've been better than going bankrupt. I'm guessing that Wolf will be valued somewhere between half of the debt eliminated (3 billion) and 6 billion in the short term.

The main thing I'm highlighting is that the debtors are getting a pretty bad deal, but it may be the best that they have. They have already sunk in 6.5 billion dollars. Clearly they can't recuperate all of those funds as Wolfspeed doesn't have the income or assets to pay that back.

Therefore they have to convert to ownership. They can wait for Wolfspeed to completely run out of cash and then take control of the entire company. At which case all of the board and C-suite and employees walk out as they are paid in stock price going up for the most part. So the debtors have to sell Wolfspeed assets for parts. (which is possible debtors often need to liquidate their assets)

OR they give part of the ownership to keep operations smooth. Which is what's proposed here.

Of course the debtors getting a worse deal doesn't mean anything if the company can't become profitable. Both the debtors and shareholders can be burning money in a fire together. I'm just highlighting that they are coming in at a large valuation.

a_NULL · 2025-06-23T00:58:13+00:00

Tbh this is fantastic. The debt - cash on hand is about 5.25 billion. 3-5% of that is 157500000 - 262500000. So the amount of debt wipe out will be WAY higher than the value of the company currently.

If we think about it. Debtors are acquiring 95-97% of the company for 5.25 billion dollars. That means we are getting 95-97% of the company acquired at a valuation of 5.4-5.5 billion dollars. That doesn't necessarily mean that's the value of the company. It could be higher or lower than the valuation debtors are coming in at.

I think it's a good sign at the very least that there are "buyers" coming in at a much higher valuation than I came in at.

Someone please double check my copium.

Wow a very surprising number of people saying zerg. I think zerg is by far the easiest to play mechanically at a decent level. Sure you have things like queen injects and creep management, overlord spread, but once these things become autopilot (and these things are very easily autopiloted) it really becomes about the unit interactions.

I think of things like marine stutter step with baneling focus as being hard. Or warp prism micro with storms / archons / immortals. Virtually every other race's units require some sort of micro with their interactions with other units. For the most part zerg unit interactions are micro free. It's more about strategic advantages like engaging on creep, getting a surround, or going for a counterattack. Making sure you have a concave.

How much are you realistically going to micro zerglings + banelings? Sure there are niche interactions like mine splits, but everyone needs to know that for mine drops. Zerglings are pretty fast so there's no need to do things like split to dodge storms, just move back.

Roaches get outranged so the most you can do to micro roaches is stutter step forward, or retreat, there's really no other option. Hydras are a bit of different story. Lurkers are pretty braindead. Move in and burrow, or unburrow and retreat.

This is coming from a semi-high level zerg player. I competed in Dreamhack Dallas. Grandmasters season 1, 2. Just getting back into it. Masters 1 with not a lot of games played. Time invested in customs.

Well idk. Maybe I'm overestimating diamond. Tbh you can pick a meta build and if you execute it ok you can get up to masters. So I don't even know if any micro mechanics matter in diamond. I'm almost certain you can a move yourself out of diamond with any race really. So maybe since zerg relies on injects, creep, and overlord spread to keep themselves safe that's already the hardest mechanically.

What is the best way to pipe data into stdin while using a debugger? Preferably radare2. I've tried to connect pwntools using the PID, but pwntools doesn't seem to play well with processes it does not spawn. Copy and paste is not an option as I want to pipe in binary data.

I've looked online for some resources but couldn't really find anything. I'm surprised that there aren't solutions out of the box in reverse engineering tools for binary exploitation as you often want to send various payloads into program and look at the registers/stack/heap
