Japan used 15.4 trillion yen to support its currency between July 30 and August 26. The yen’s decline has also heightened the risk of a carry trade reversal: if investors who financed positions with yen are forced to close those positions because the yen appreciates, they may also sell risk assets such as Bitcoin.

YC founder Paul Graham: At 17, train an LLM from scratch instead of rushing to start a company

Y Combinator founder Paul Graham posted on X that if he were 17 again, he would learn how to build a large language model (LLM) from scratch and use whatever hardware was available to train the most capable model possible, rather than trying to start a startup.
