#2Been following signals and threads for a while, and it’s amazing. Have to be in a learning mood, but it gets pretty technical. Podcasts are a tough medium to do that in but if you really zone in, signals and threads is fantastic

#3> In Young Cho thought she was going to be a doctor but fell into a trading internship at Jane Street
Genuinely perplexing how they always try to show each multi-million earning engineer as some normal person and not someone that went to Exeter and Harvard

#4I will eternally find it sad how much talent is wasted on trading. So much money, so much intelligence, so much time and effort, all the provide almost no tangible value to society.

#5Ten years ago, all the $1mn+ earning engineers were in trading. Now they are in LLM/AI. Glad to see this happen, Jane Street has increased their advertising here because of this.

I don't really see a lot of elitism in these circles - there's a chunk of such engineers that did not in fact go to Exeter and Harvard - but what they have in common is they are all to a fault very bright technical people that can produce complicated things quite quickly, and can communicate effectively with people around them - to make sure that what they produce is in fact useful :)

#8I love this podcast but I can’t listen to it while running. It’s too interesting so I risk falling off the treadmill :D

I take the silver lining. Smart people getting rich is better than dumb people getting rich. Hopefully some day they'll do something good with that money.

I agree, how dull and uninspired. I'm very much with Paul Graham, who believes in the creation of wealth (as opposed to the extraction of money).
