cool kids these days use AGI to find HFT features but I'm just a washed unc using moving averages to sell vol back when unc was interning at RenTech's vol desk, Jim Simons told unc "if you sell vol, it's ok to blow up tomorrow. just don't blow up today" no crying in the casino

your signals: negative alpha, donation to market makers, random-math-probability decisions my signals: huge alpha, 15m/year, AGI-level decisions

For those who still didn't understand what Jev from @typesafeai can do, here is the example. Jev can read dozens of structured trading signals and then show intelligent decisions. It's time to make your system actually alive. What a time!

not many people know this, but everytime you ask claude to code something up its basically this guy writing all the code himself at the back. when they say API is down it actually means he’s on toilet break. look it up it’s 100% true

to students who are looking to break into quant trading but have no internship this summer, I highly recommend this elite program. as we all know trading is more or less similar to fighting in the streets of Kabul. I’m very close to the hiring manager so DM for more details

quant brainteaser: Anprotic released a new AI model Bafle - Tymhos with safeguards. time goes by, and no major disaster happened caused by the model. which one is more likely: 1) Tymhos had no groundbreaking capabilities in the first place 2) Safeguards were well designed

back when I was based in Long Island working for RenTech, we had a super talented quant named Jay first few years he made so much money. that got into his head. he started hosting lavish parties to seduce our HR Daisy. didn’t end well since then Jim only hired married quants

this is extremely huge because J in JD Vance actually stands for JP Morgan. few people know this. thanks Rick for bringing this to attention

Just heard a wild rumor from someone I trust that works at JPM. The buzz is that Trump has been exploring ways to force Vice President Vance out of office. He cannot fire him legally. Unless Vance resigns, the only way for him to be removed is to be impeached by the House with 2/3rds Senate voting to remove!

was watching a video of how some ppl got affected by psychosis caused by AI chatbots. like these ppl became actually crazy. I’m sympathetic but at the same time I can’t help but to think this all could be solved if they take one linear algebra class

when I was at RenTech, we hired a lot of physicists, bcs a lot of groundbreaking concepts in finance came from physics. momentum. overextension. volatility is like a trampoline. Jim once said to me during post-lunch vape break: “study physics, and you will solve quant finance”

some have asked me about my time in Renaissance Technologies. although I’m retired I can’t really say much due to NDA, but I have an unseen interview snippet from my ex-colleague Nick (hope the kids are doing well mate) that I’m comfortable to share. a lot of alpha in there

I find the quality of content on QuantTwitter disappointing. so in the next few weeks, I will be sharing novel stories about practitioners/legends, resources, anecdotes & many more to kickstart this initiative I would like to share one of the most valuable websites for quant:
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The attached screenshot has been edited to insert anachronistic references to "gstack", "Mythos", and "GPT5.4", which did not exist in 2019; the original Hacker News post quotes Nick Patterson discussing simple regression. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=190652… robohub.org/talking-machin…

to continue on this, today I’ll share a very useful AI tool that my HFT team has been using for the last 6m. recently we combined it with Mythos and immediately received an email from CME that our alpha is too high hence exposes exchange vulnerabilities. so DYOR.
