Many strategies look solid until the regime actually changes. A common pattern is strong performance in one environment followed by sharp degradation when volatility, correlation, or trend behavior shifts. The original idea is often still valid. The problem is usually that the strategy has no built-in way to recognize when its core assumptions stop working. This is why simple mechanical regime awareness or adaptive overlays tend to separate strategies that survive multiple cycles from those that work well for a while and then break. (whipped up a few charts to show this on QQQ) How are your strategies performing when volatility or correlation regimes shift? Are regime shifts breaking more strategies for you than expected?

If you didn't know about rebal: ETF rebalancing flows have grown more noticeable in recent years. Especially in names with heavy ETF ownership. Larger ETF assets and more concentrated ownership have made these mechanical flows bigger. What used to be relatively small adjustments can now create short-term pressure. This pressure sometimes overrides the signal a strategy is trying to capture. It shows clearly in the few days around major rebalance dates. Momentum strategies can get whipsawed. Factor exposures can drift more than expected. In some cases the rebalancing volume simply swamps the underlying move. Seeing this in both momentum and factor books. The effect is often strongest in the most liquid, high-ETF-ownership names. Worth checking in your own book: how net exposure in high-ETF-ownership names behaves in the 3–5 days before and after rebalances. In some cases the mechanical flow temporarily dominates the edge you’re trying to harvest. (Whipped up a quick chart to show what that typically looks like) Curious, anyone here running systematic strategies, and stress-tested against rebalance calendars? Or are you assuming these effects mostly wash out over longer periods?

@nasscomstartups in Indiranagar had similar ideas. They got started with having 3d printers, shared machines, labs, and a few others if my memory serves me right. Another approach: have so many factories that they are all under utilised, that additional capacity becomes the launchpad for the new generation

If a salaried person wants to build a software application or digital services agency, the entry barrier is virtually zero. They just need a laptop and an internet connection. But if the same person wants to start manufacturing... They need: • Land • Factory space • Expensive machinery • 6-12 months of approvals • Huge upfront capital My suggestion to the Government of India: Build Manufacturing Parks for first-time entrepreneurs. Instead of selling 10-acre plots, create buildings with 500-1,000 sq. ft. ready-to-use factory units. Every unit should come with: • 3-phase electricity already connected • Pollution & fire approvals already cleared • Shared CNC machines, injection moulding, testing labs & warehouses • Common logistics and loading docks • Month-to-month rentals instead of land purchases • Single online portal to book a unit within 7 days Let engineers keep their jobs while testing manufacturing on a small scale. We built co-working spaces for software. It's time we built co-factories for manufacturing. @PMOIndia @PiyushGoyal @minmsme @NITIAayog

gatekeeping this place in koramangala

@benln Would love in! Most productive day of the week, would be nice to talk about those projects :)

Rebooting my X group chat for people building projects on Sundays. One rule: you can only post on Sundays. Reply if you want in.

Added few more stories @AlterMagIndia wants to commission. Please do tag writers! The IMAI vs the RBI in particular is a fantastic story waiting to be told

@phalgooon @JatinHariani Yeah, but I just got the ability to add additional WhatsApp accounts on my iOS WhatsApp. I think this existed in the android version for years 🥲

@JatinHariani Seems android only atm

Refreshed both, the settings page and the app store some 200 times. Nothing for me yet. Anyone?

@shreyansalecha Takes my credit card bills, organises it by category, month by month expense trends, and a report to review + plan the year for investments

friends who have built ai tools/agents to automate their personal finances, could you pls share what you've built/how it works?

Monday is halfway through and the @Zai_org @jietang @ZixuanLi_ team is shipping updates already to GLM Zcode! What a time to be alive 🚀🚀🚀

@ajit_bhaskar 100%

@thenaveeneffect Chugging along ya. Let's catch up on a walk soon!

after two years in BLR, i have made the ultimate “what to do in bangalore” website. 100 of the best spots and activities in the city. check it out at: blr.wiki

This vial contains a new drug called PAC-832, which I recently invented to treat Alzheimer’s disease. It is the world’s first selective GalR1 antagonist. I designed and synthesized PAC-832 in a chemistry lab I built in my garage. (1/16)

@ajit_bhaskar @paarugsethi Biceps are disappearing 🥲 but I’ve been good. How have you been?

@thenaveeneffect @paarugsethi Thanks (biceps) Naveen! How have you been? :)

I opened the notes app, scrolled all the way to the bottom (oldest note in this app is 8 years old), and started reading. It’s such an eye opener. I’ve progressed in every imaginable axis. I’m happy to see how the things I was working on years and years ago are things I still practice and have paid off repeatedly!

Is it me or are people working more hours this summer in the UK? Did a quick check, all data points to a "summer slump" in productivity, and yet I see people in my workspace after 5PM. Someone explain?

@phalgooon @paarugsethi @Pranavarchitect howdu but nange gothilla😅 kindly do the honours @phalgooon? I can only speak about ynk / vpura / malleshwaram / jp / jayanagar

@thenaveeneffect @paarugsethi @Pranavarchitect brother check Nagarbhavi and Vijayanagar lol

Precisely. I would say, established = people who've excelled in their fields. We need hacker houses for e-sports, hacker houses for video editing and animation, hacker houses for circuit building, for 3d printing, for chemistry, for biohacking, for model fine-tuning, for everything! Those who excel at bringing people together can build a blueprint, identify established players in different fields, and setup these monasteries.

@thenaveeneffect @nikhilkamathcio patronage is a beautiful word, and i think more established experienced players need to lean into it both as concept and as label

Founders aren't getting 25% of their own company. They are being paid 25% to be around some of the great minds that modern India has, and that's a massive paycheck! like @nikhilkamathcio and others. Finally, we have a wealthy and influential person trying to build a patronage. This, I hope, brings together many of the nations smart, high agency, and talented people together to build a great many things.

@paarugsethi @ajit_bhaskar You are one step ahead of me, good sir!

@thenaveeneffect @ajit_bhaskar i have his list in the website!
