alternative data is cool

[Federico Puddu @federicodoing]

Palantir and xAI are collaborating on a financial services project.

I built an AI-native Bloomberg Terminal that scales across all alternative data, extending beyond financial and market data.

@elonmusk and @PalantirTech, want to chat?

@Etched great work!

@fdotinc really cool!

Literally just having a delusional golden retriever mindset measurably changes outcomes and physiology.

Sleep badly? Convince yourself you're well rested.
Stressful day? Convince yourself it's fuel.
Failed? Convince yourself it's useful data.

@ashwingop deep networks + adam structurally lead to low rank, but using just a fraction of available capacity feels inherently inefficient. we're here because deep + adam converge and achieve undeniably great results, but maybe we're just compensating for a bad optimizer by going deeper

[Federico Puddu @federicodoing]

@ashwingop great work Ashwin! perfectly coherent with the structural low-rank nature of these models. beautifully put.
what do you think of low-rank itself though? I can't fully get past whether it's truly optimal.

STATE OF THE PRODUCT JOB MARKET IN EARLY 2026

In spite of the headlines about layoffs and AI taking jobs, we’re actually seeing a lot of promising signs in tech hiring, and some interesting new trends:
1. PM openings are at the highest levels we’ve seen in over three years
2. AI hasn’t slowed the demand for software engineers (at least not yet)
3. AI roles in general are absolutely exploding
4. Design roles have plateaued
5. The Bay Area is increasing in importance
6. Remote work opportunities continue to decline
7. Despite ongoing layoffs, the overall number of tech jobs continues to grow

The hard part isn't solving the puzzle. It's noticing there is a puzzle.

[Federico Puddu @federicodoing]

@mignano Agreed. I think the most valuable data will still be internal to organizations, but leveraged far more effectively across teams.

There are strong incentives against expanding the data and learnings beyond organizational borders.
