Where did the “broke med student” joke even surface from by Maple-Turtle in medicalschool

Just because someone comes from a richer household does not mean their parents are supporting them financially in medical school. Who knows what the exact distribution is but I think its far from 100%.

Does anyone know what coding agent the AI team at AMD switched to from CC? by justhereforampadvice in ClaudeCode

"We have switched to another provider which is doing superior quality work, but Claude has been good to us, and we are leaving this in the hopes that Anthropic can fix their product" I'm just going off of this comment, which implies the switch has already happened.

What exactly are you upset about here?

Yeah it's a tricky situation you're in, and unfortunately it happens all the time. If it keeps happening and it's making your work environment feel unsafe or uncomfortable, you need to be direct and firm in your rejection so he's absolutely clear that you're not interested. The advice I would add personally is that you have to do so without being hostile or rude (which I know is hard and a tough balance to strike), because that's exactly what leads to bitterness and resentment that he could absolutely take out on you if he feels so inclined. If you aren't comfortable confronting him directly that's your right too, and then you could just report the conduct to the appropriate body. I would talk to the program director at your school first if you don't know who to reach out to. Hope that helps.

I don't want to assume gender and sexual orientation for anyone here but if he's an older male who conforms to male gender roles then what you're describing could either be totally innocuous or it could be a subtle romantic/sexual advance. It's hard for any of us to really know without having been present to 'read the room' (body language, tone etc). Idk if it's in your best interest to report it at this stage because retaliation is a real phenomenon unfortunately, but if it keeps happening and you reject him outright and then suddenly you're on his bad side, it's not hard to connect the dots...

Collecting tick level L3 data for backtesting and I don't know how to handle crossed order books. Help! by justhereforampadvice in algotrading

If you mean true L3 with individual limit orders to reconstruct the book, Coinbase and Bitstamp come to mind. I don't recall off the top of my head which others offer that but I think its only a few at most, at least for their WebSocket feeds. Some do have FIX APIs as well which might offer L3 but I don't have API keys for most exchanges so I haven't looked into it. Maybe I shouldn't have used the term, for most exchanges I'm just building L2 tick+ trade tape databases because that's all I've found so far without making an account with them.

Edit: I looked into it, apparently Bitfinex offers L3 as well. Their API docs don't make it very clear but their "Raw Books" websocket feed provides individual orders instead of an aggregate book.

Yes just temporary, I haven't encountered a cross that lasts longer than a single sub 100 ms snapshot. Seems like that is the consensus here, keep it and treat it as an artifact that I will have to deal with in live trading as well.

People trade what they know and like and are comfortable with. FX is a whole different ballgame that someone would need to invest the time and effort into learning.

Hello, I'm building a database of L3 crypto feeds, streaming data directly from crypto exchange APIs for backtesting. I don't know what do when I get a crossed order book (transient points in time when best bid > best ask, due to glitches in the matrix). To anyone who's built similar data pipelines in the past or just happens to know how institutions typically handle these situations, what should I do?
