rrnechmech··on We built a crypto-reloadable virtual card: no KYC, 3-year validity, $100K/month
Congrats. Hope it goes well.

Q: How can you really do no KYC, when - if not now, at some point - card networks (ie. VISA) are heavily KYC-bound by regulation? They will shut you down or - worse - transfer the hassle to your end user.

rrnechmech··on Diffusion models are real-time game engines
> To mitigate auto-regressive drift during inference, we corrupt context frames by adding Gaussian noise to encoded frames during training. This allows the network to correct information sampled in previous frames, and we found it to be critical for preserving visual stability over long time periods.

I get this (mostly). But would any kind soul care to elaborate on this? What is this "drift" they are trying to avoid and how does (AFAIU) adding noise help?

Fascinating to think about if and when FSD is perfected (or heaven forbid before) what a world with cars moving about with near zero reaction time would look like. That is to say, completely removing reaction time out of the equation at scale

Kudos, sir, and all due respect.

rrnechmech··on Ask HN: Seeking a Self-Hosted Disposable Email Solution
Sure.-

(But do not discard Zulip as an interface. Heck, it might even serve you well putting your whole family on it. I can see Zulip (straight Zulip) working great with extended family ...)

rrnechmech··on Ask HN: Seeking a Self-Hosted Disposable Email Solution
I know this was just a crude crude hack but I once implemented something akin to what you describe using a bunch of domains on Namecheap and their "wildcard redirect" feature, where they would redirect allusernames@foo.bar (a catch all), forwarding all email, per domain, out of all places to a self-hosted Zulip instance, so each domain would forward to a Zulip channel (each Zulip channel gets an email address you can activate and forward messages to). Worked well. Pretty neat. Of course in this particular case only cared for the incoming mails, which may or may not be your case

Nicely broken up, thanks for the time spent. Really appreciate how well explained
rrnechmech··on 296,163 crypto traders have been liquidated in the last 24 hours
Indeed. It is a huge problem IMHO for crypto.

(Some outfits are letting you "auto add" margin rather than being liquidated. Not sure if that would help.

Would really appreciate an ELI5 by someone knowledgeable on whence - as a risk calculation by exchanges - does liquidation come from

and if there are (or not) any mild-leverage alternatives *without* liquidation
