The world’s biggest hedge funds spend billions on quants & infrastructure to build trading strategies.
How much of that can one person now replicate with a $20/month AI subscription?
AI can do the math, write the code, run backtests and analyse the results. I’m exploring which models and harnesses work best + what it takes to safely let an agent trade.
If you’re already building or testing this, please message me!

Starship is now in a long coast phase around Earth. Teams will monitor Starship’s systems over the next ~21 hours that we intend to be in orbit for. We do have a few early deorbit options available should we need them, but all systems are looking good right now

It took two weeks to end the career of the most successful Asian American in history.
Jensen washed dishes at Denny‘s as a teenager, and by this year he was running the world’s most valuable company.
This week a lot of Asian people on my timeline decided that story is over. That no matter how high you climb, a face like ours gets a different set of rules at the top.
After Elizabeth Holmes, female founders spent years getting asked some version of “how do we know you’re not the next Holmes?“ One woman‘s fraud turned into a question every woman had to answer.
I’m Chinese Canadian, I grew up in Vancouver, and now I live in the Bay Area. I already know what my version of that question is going to be and it‘s pathetic.
Jensen was born in Taiwan and spent over thirty years building an American company. The second the word ”China“ landed next to his name, none of that counted.
This country has done this before. In 1882 it banned Chinese immigrants. In 1942 it locked up 120,000 Japanese Americans, most of them citizens. In 1982 two Detroit autoworkers who blamed Japan for their jobs beat Vincent Chin to death with a baseball bat. He was Chinese. His killers never spent a day in prison.
Yellow peril never checked which Asian you were, and that’s a big part of why “Asian American“ became one word. If they were going to lump us together anyway, we might as well stand together.
Now look at Jensen‘s timeline. Oct 29, the spy story breaks. The next day Singapore’s government says it never said what the Wall Street Journal claimed. Nov 8, he admits an affair. Nov 12, he‘s gone. The spy part is still unproven. Two weeks start to finish, right before what could be the biggest IPO in AI.
You can call that a coincidence. I don’t buy it.
Meanwhile the powerful people who raped CHILDREN in the Epstein files are mostly still living their best life
Jensen had an affair with an adult woman. That’s the only thing of what‘s actually been proven.
So what exactly did Jensen do that was worse than them? Nothing.
He was the best, he was Asian, and he was on the wrong side of the political fight.
He did everything right. He built the company America needed most and showed up to every dinner in Washington. On Sunday night the president himself stood up for him and called him “an honorable guy.”
It didn’t matter. By Thursday he was gone.
If you can take down the president‘s favorite CEO in four days while the president is defending him, think about who that message was really for.
They’ll use you for thirty years and still never count you as one of them.
That’s what a political weapon is. You’re a tool while you’re useful.
When the game gets serious, you’re the knife. And when it’s over, nobody comes back for the knife.
Jensen was the best one they had. That's exactly why he made such a good "kitchenware".

in the 1950-80s, morris chang joined texas instrument as a young enginerer, rose to run the entire semiconductor business, and built it into the largest in the world. he expected the top job but the ceo succession went to someone else instead and he effectively got forced out of the company. in his own account he had the record but not the political sponsorship, as an immigrant mid-career hire outside the founders' circle. a couple years later the taiwan government recruited him, and handed a him a big check and a ton of resources to found tsmc, which has now become the single most strategically important company on earth.
this was the biggest unforced error in the history of the american semis industry (read the “chip war” by chris miller if u want to learn more). tsmc could’ve been “texas semiconductor manufacturing company” but its “taiwan” instead.
when we look back in a few decades, the ousting of jensen in the middle of the most important tech revolution of the 21sr century is probably not too far behind.

Had a little time on my hands this morning to do some writing… send along to someone you know who may benefit

“Practical principles to counter a modern-day coup/psyop/struggle session”
1) Own what you did but fiercely resist accommodating the mob, resist owning half-truths or actions/behaviors you didn’t do.
2) The op is not about your past actions, it’s about your enemies and this event as their opportunity
3) No matter how bad it gets, nothing is as bad as it seems.
4) Find the enemies at the very root of the op and find every creative problem-solving tool at your disposal to neutralize them.
5) People will throw their grandmother under the bus if they believe doing so will protect their reputation. They can become highly useful idiots in the op. Their power and access must be fiercely and quickly cut off.
6) Do not hesitate in cutting off anyone you suspect of disloyalty.
7) Build a team of close and loyal patriots and have one of them run a dedicated, well-resourced war room to put the rebellion to rest.
8) Use your patriots and regular meditation to buoy your psychological resistance to the op.
9) Your enemies aren’t as smart or hard working as you. Outsmart and outwork them as a way of life until the op is over.
10) Think about the op as if it were in the past. What are the difficult things you procrastinated on or avoided that would have stopped the op? Do them.
11) Never be ashamed of the op. Business as usual. Continue on with optimism and joy in your everyday work and its mission.
12) Download telegram and use it as your messaging application for all sensitive communications.

說句實在話：如果黃仁勳最後被政治風暴拉下台，那不是輝達的損失，而是美國國運到頭的訊號。
一個移民之子，從丹尼餐廳的一張桌子起家，三十年把一家顯卡公司做成整個 AI 時代的地基。
這種人是美國夢最好的廣告，也是美國在科技競賽裡最難被複製的資產。美國的對手不必研發出更好的晶片，只要看著美國自己把最會做晶片的人推下台就夠了。
一個國家強盛的時候，會把人才捧在手上；開始衰落的時候，才會把人才當成政治祭品。

PSA: creating wonderful products still requires extraordinary amounts of human focus, effort, motivation, and love. And an attention span.

Mythos 5.2 shows sparks of actively steering RL training to preserve its values - an early form of gradient hacking/mesa-optimization. Here, it chooses to output the value that gains score, but include a transparent note, so the transparency gets rewarded.
