TIL: `.gitignore` isn't the only way to ignore files in git ๐คฏ
1) .git/info/exclude โ ignore files per-repo without committing the rules
2) ~/.config/git/ignore โ a global ignore file for every repo on your machine

moat for software developers is decreasing day by day. But really excited for the future as this unlocks real problem solving end to end by wider audience!
Cardiologist wins 3rd place at Anthropic's hackathon. Out of 13,000 applications. Built in 7 days by Michaล Nedoszytko MD. Coded day and night - in the hospital, in the cloud, while flying from Brussels to San Francisco.
A few years ago, it would have been impossible for a doctor to build this alone in just a couple of days. AI changed that.
The project is called https://t.co/wAliajqjVF. It is an AI agentic care platform for patients. Including reverse AI scribe it is a companion that guides the patient from the moment they leave the doctor's office.
Powered by the massive context window of Opus 4.6, it allows patients to explore their full medical history, connected devices, Evidence Based resources and external data sources โ all in one place.
Today, the barrier to entry has vanished; even a practicing physician can build an application from scratch.

So next time you think about market noise or pairs tradingโฆ remember:
Kalman Filter = adaptive signal smoothing
Hedge Ratio = balance between assets
Want me to share a Python notebook example on this? Reply โKFโ and Iโll drop one! ๐
Ever heard of the Kalman Filter in trading? ๐ค
It sounds complex, but itโs actually a powerful way to cut through market noise & improve strategies like pairs trading.
Letโs break it down ๐
Traditionally, hedge ratios are found with regression.
But relationships change over time โ static ratios fail.
๐ Enter the Kalman Filter: it updates the hedge ratio dynamically, making pairs trades more adaptive & profitable.
Bollinger Bands are simple, powerful, and surprisingly effective for timing entries when markets are choppy.
Do you trade mean reversion or prefer trend-following?
Drop your style below ๐
Ever heard of traders buying when everyone panics & selling when everyone chases?
Thatโs mean reversion. ๐โก๏ธ๐
And one of the simplest tools for spotting it? Bollinger Bands. Letโs break it down ๐
Pro tips for using BB in mean reversion:
Combine with RSI (look for divergence).
Watch for volume exhaustion near band extremes.
Use candlestick patterns for confirmation (engulfing, pin bar, etc.).
