@yenwod_ Stopgap solution to scale markets. Automation for rebalancing is probably in the pipe.

Sharding a matching engine by symbol is fine, but what made Kalshi decide to ask traders to manually move collateral and route orders between shards? It's not obvious what problem this design would be a good solution for. Is there a regulatory consideration I'm missing?

@kaledora It's definitely segregated. I've never met another person like this in finance besides the rare ex-USA/USMC officer.

@0xdumah yes, it does, but it is offshored and relegated to a segregated caste of society that the educated class no longer sees or even knows about the difference is that these jobs used to be ubiquitous - a far larger proportion of society was required to contend with reality

dangerous jobs early in life used to be the norm. if you ask almost anyone over the age of 70 about their early 20s, they’ll tell you about the time they jumped out of planes as a paratrooper, spent months at sea as a merchant marine, or worked a summer on an oil rig. for most of human history, there was an implicit social contract: young men had testosterone and a desire for adventure, and society needed someone to do the dangerous things that kept the world running. we now live in a much safer world, which is good, and those same instincts are now otherwise channeled, but I think we’ve probably lost something in the quiet evaporation of that social contract

you should be micro-dosing AI psychosis right now to vaccinate against mythos scaled models tbh
