this Stanford paper is f*cking insane
it's about as close to peeking inside a real HFT desk as I've ever seen in public.
14 pages, elite-level signal combination, a complete statistical framework.
the exact same framework I laid out in 11 steps in the article below: serial demeaning, cross-sectional normalization, residual weighting, empirical Kelly.
the crazy part is most people correctly call market direction and still lose money, purely because they never crossed paths with these 14 pages.
read the paper first, then the article.
bookmark it before this thread gets buried.
We'll be spending a lot more time trying to understand the outputs of language models. A few thoughts, tips & tricks:
Writing. Something I've had success with: Ask your LLM to explain something in ASD-STE100, it's a controlled language specification originally developed for aerospace maintenance documentation. LLMs well-versed in this language and it comes with heavy constraints on clean writing style that I often find a lot more readable. Sometimes I've tried to soften it a bit e.g. ask for "80% of the way to ASD-STE100" because the spec is quite stringent. But even better:
Diagrams / images. Instead of writing, ask your LLM to create a diagram. These can be a lot easier to process, parse, and understand. But even better:
Web pages. Ask for output "in HTML" to get a beautiful, interactive webpage. LLMs are getting really good at frontend and can create beautiful experiences, animations, etc. But even better:
Explainer videos. The output format I am most bullish on is fully custom / bespoke explainer videos generated on any arbitrary topic. Experiment with things like "Create a 3b1b style video explainer on X. Use my ElevenLabs API key for audio narration". (you'd need an API key for the latter or you can ask your LLM to find you decent free alternatives that use your local compute). This is actually starting to work!
In summary:
- As LLMs get better, they will do more and more of the legwork autonomously, and a lot more of our work will rise up the abstractions into oversight and understanding.
- Luckily, LLMs can help here too because as intelligence and code are increasingly abundant, you can ask for large, custom, discardable software artifacts (e.g. web apps, video explainers) that would have never made sense to create before. Push the boundaries here and you'll be surprised.

we likely will never have time (ever again) to play ourselves, but hope the that the community goes WILD (and makes me look like a naive idiot)
Anthropic engineer (ex-Google):
"I spent 14 years at Google and built 24 reusable skills for agents that I can use with any AI model
So I stopped prompting my agents from scratch. The repo has already reached ~100K stars on GitHub"
In a 40-min masterclass, Addy Osmani showed exactly how he uses his skills (~100K stars on GitHub) for his 24/7 multi-agent system
His workflow and this workshop will replace 15 hours of other paid videos on agent engineering
Watch it today, copy the GitHub repo - then read below how to use these skills for graphs ↓
SpaceXAI engineer, Lauren Tan:
"GrokBot is the most powerful agentic tool we have ever built, but only 1% of users use it correctly
right now I'm running a team of 20+ GrokBot agents. I have a Chief of Staff agent, 3 managers and 16 workers - that's how the team looks like"
In a 1-hour workshop, a SpaceXAI engineer reveals how to use Grok agents at 100% of their potential
worth more than a $500 agent engineering course on the internet
Skip Netflix and watch today, it will change the way you use GrokBot forever, then read the article below
@Blue_Benchmark Enzo is a snake, why would we want to keep and force a guy to play who doesn’t want us? His racist antics etc are just not a good look. I’ll miss parts of him but the net is negative on him. Might as well cash in and profit
Uhm Guys… Mythos (Fable) is AGI.
On the left is the ACTUAL Lovable Mobile App.
On the right is my Lovable version I built with Mythos in 2 prompts.
My version SMOKED it.
Your Obsidian vault is probably dead.
Not empty.
Dead.
Because saving information is not the same thing as building intelligence.
Right now millions of people are spending hours building “second brains” that never think back.
Beautiful folders.
Perfect tags.
Endless highlights.
And absolutely zero cognitive leverage.
The scary part?
AI is about to make this gap brutally obvious.
Most people will use AI like a smarter Google:
ask question → get answer → forget answer.
But a small group is building something way more dangerous:
AI connected to years of personal context.
Their notes.
Their ideas.
Their unfinished thoughts.
Their reading history.
Their obsessions.
Their patterns.
At that point AI stops acting like a chatbot.
And starts acting like a cognitive extension of the person using it.
That changes everything.
Because the biggest advantage in the AI era will not be prompts.
It will be accumulated context.
People with connected knowledge systems are going to think faster, write better, learn quicker, and spot opportunities earlier than everyone else.
Not because they’re smarter.
Because they stopped starting from zero every day.
Most vaults are storage systems.
The best ones become intelligence systems.

@perplexity_ai charging me $20 for an account with them I can't access from a former employer.. and then using their AI support bot to respond saying theres nothing they can do to refund me. pretty petty stuff, I must stay.
