Rust gets a lot easier when you realize the borrow checker is just a compile-time garbage collector.
Anthropic is doing another recruiting social targeted at the quant trading industry, in London this time! The last one went really well and people tended to enjoy learning about AI and Anthropic even if they didn't plan to join. Signup link in the thread!

Basecamp did 5,250 req/sec at peak yesterday. Mean response time was 90ms. So call that needing 500 cores at max load. If you skipped redundancy, you could probably do that with 3 boxes each running a Z5 192-core AMD chip with room to spare. Servers have gotten crazy fast!
