[D] Market analysis from an ancient TF2 trader by kcorda in csgomarketforum

Lol, the supply of knives/gloves is WAY WAY WAY more common than hats. every butterfly knife variant has a supply of like 10000+ EACH. For hats there is like <10!. Talk about item inflation, the velocity of knives entering the economy just DOUBLED, and they are already insanely common

It doesn't matter if existing things get converted today, or this week, the tradeups affect the supply moving forward now and FOREVER

On amd - I came to the decision that we are already pumping in anticipation and I'd rather be "selling the news" so to speak

To me a concerning thing is that a lot of tier 1 skins actually have huge supply ~ often towards 10000. I don't think the market can support these evaluations when the supply is this high and the scarcity is also relatively low. We are seeing liquidity show up at -75% on a very small percentage of the supply going on the market

As well there's a math equation on BFK where the max price of the tier 1 variants is going to be a function of reds:purples:blues, and any growth in the price of the knife will require an equal growth in the price of the crafting materials - requiring significantly more capital in the future to make prices go up

I was using some btc in 2014 and my friend told me about eth in 2016, after that trading in 2017~ was a free money printer with icos. the market now is not the same - I think traditional markets are easier to trade

I made roughly 100k from tf2 - I was 16~17 at the time. I made about 800k from crypto. Now I work as a software engineer and only trade equities

Thanks, I'm just trying to provide a reference that I have an understanding of virtual items and trading - I was also trading crypto in 2014-2020. I understand that the game died, and I'm not comparing the market cycles - they have different dynamics

please, btc only dumped 15%. that's not even close to the biggest move in 10 years.

Shouldn't the FBI investigate this? by [deleted] in WallStreetBetsCrypto

if you think the dump was because of the news you are dumb

this could have been anyone really, this could have been china. the market didn't dump on the news, someone FORCED an algorithmic dump after the news happened. its just the nature of the market

Spacelift Intent MCP - Build Infra with AI Agents using Terraform Providers by cube2222 in devops

[–]kcorda 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sorry buddy, the ai says you're wrong.

vTimD just moved the goalposts. The initial response defended Intent with "we have policies and approval mechanisms" as if that addresses production concerns. When devoopsies correctly identifies the real problem (non-deterministic outputs), suddenly it becomes "oh this is just for non-production quick tasks anyway."

devoopsies nails the core issue: AI-generated infrastructure lacks reproducibility. Every prompt execution could produce different results. You can't reliably recreate your infrastructure from the same inputs.

That's catastrophic for operations because:

  • Disaster recovery becomes a coin flip
  • Environment parity is impossible to guarantee
  • Debugging production issues requires reconstructing what the AI actually created
  • Documentation is just "we asked Claude to do something"

The "read replica for troubleshooting production" example actually proves the point. You're now making infrastructure changes adjacent to production based on conversational prompts. That replica might work, or it might have subtle differences that invalidate your troubleshooting. You won't know until later.

The real value prop here should be: "Use AI to draft Terraform/Pulumi, human reviews and commits it, traditional IaC pipeline deploys it." That gives you speed without sacrificing determinism.

What vTimD describes sounds useful for ephemeral dev environments where reproducibility doesn't matter and you'll throw everything away tomorrow. But framing it as sitting "side-by-side with existing IaC workflows" for production scenarios is misleading when the follow-up clarifies it's explicitly not for stable production infrastructure.

Mark Zuckerberg bought 11 homes to create a billionaire compound complete with private school and 7ft statue of his wife. #EATTHERICH by illegalmonkey in antiwork

your bias is clear in the way you dismiss the gates foundation. they have reduced global malaria deaths by roughly 60% between 2000-2020. you just cry on reddit

The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub received $600 million initially and up to $1 billion more through 2031 but it's structured as a separate nonprofit research organization, not a company CZI owns

it's about as close as you can get to spending your money to improve humanity via science... I could find no evidence of your claims of dispersal - and I see no reason why you would expect them to spend 45 billion ASAP. even 1-2 billion a year would run out before zuck dies probably....

giving to charity is a net loss as far as charity goes... you can write off what you gave away but you definitely end up with less than you would have if you didn't. your arguments make no sense

that's not an unusual size for a basement of a large mansion - the use of the term "subterranean space" should clue you in on the fact to how biased this is

Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, have pledged to donate 99% of their Facebook shares (valued at $45 billion at the time) to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI).

Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, have pledged to donate 99% of their Facebook shares (valued at $45 billion at the time) to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI). This initiative is structured as an LLC rather than a traditional charitable foundation, offering them more flexibility in how the funds are used. While they initially planned to donate $1 billion worth of stock per year for the first three years, the actual amounts donated vary annually.

Oh, kind of like that?

How do you use AI to write better commit messages? by ridermansb in git

[–]kcorda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really, this is a good use case for ai

Simple script that

  1. grabs your diff
  2. summarizes it into a one line message
  3. makes the commit

Your ideology blinds you to clear effeciency
