📢Alert: Seasonality Strategy (With Code) Santa Claus Rally 🎅 Is a well known and documented effect in indices across the globe. Rules: Long 5 Days before End of Year. Exit 2 Days into Jan. Here I explore multiple combinations of entry exit on NIFTY/BANKNIFTY 👇

It happens slowly, then all at once.

@Comrade_inn How? I hold 100 million barrels worth futures. I sold 10 mn barrels worth. It’s a large order and thus moved market. I don’t care about the price impact as I have other agenda (why else would I hold that big size) ? Is it manipulation?

@Ankit_Quant Yesterday it was a market manipulation

This is market manipulation…. Because…..??? I got smoked on my leveraged longs after the war broke out?

SUMMARY OF THE INCIDENTS TARGETING INDIANS IN WEMBLEY - Three men from Daman and Diu beaten up in toilets of Target Wembley - Manek Chowk restaurant smashed up in random attack twice - Indian man hit with bottle on head who tries to intervene in Manek Chowk attack; taken to hospital - Panesar Foor and wine store attacked - Four men, one Gujarati, stabbed on Ealing Road on Monday night; all taken to hospital This follows the attack on the Holi event in Harrow last week. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/uk/india…

@aryansss2718 Evident? How?

@Ankit_Quant It was pretty evident seeing the price action

@faangtofno Certainly. The argument that now anyone without any coding knowledge can code their way into a super useful software has fallen fairly quickly. It writes slop, but you can make it useful with sufficient experience and iterations.

@Ankit_Quant as time passes: the slop feels predictable though. once you know which patterns it defaults to, you stop accepting the first output and start treating it like a first draft. the real problem is people are shipping the first draft.

AI does Slop Slop Slop 🙄

Claude code writes the code then reviews it for $20 then finds critical issues then Claude code fixes those issues. Only for Claude code to review it again for $20. AGI

Quiet focus. Ruthless execution. Capital in motion as Melbourne paints the horizon.

Had those tourists been White poeple, the reel wouldn’t have generated any outrage. Meanwhile White People .....

@pranavvk My expectations have been driven by what’s been promised by the creators of those models. Sure some marketing hype is discounted for. But in my experience, there is a wide gap between what’s being claimed and what’s ground reality. This doesn’t mean they aren’t useful.

@Ankit_Quant But that's because you are expecting more out of it. If you accept the limitations, you can work within them in a far more efficient way. I've actually had complex functions be rotated from chatgot to gemini to grok to claude... Each one refining it.

It’s not just me who thinks AI writes a bunch of slop code. It aims for plausible correctness. Anyone worth their salt is coming to this conclusion. Need for software devs is going ⬆️ Need for great software devs is going to 🚀🚀

@pranavvk My point being, if I drive an autonomous car and at every turn need to manually maneuver it, the utility of autonomous car is diminished greatly. If I have to keep cross checking my agentic code with other agents, I get into this perpetual loop. Nothing philosophical about it

@Ankit_Quant How? It's a productivity enhancer .. Tools exist for you to use them, not to be philosophical about how you use them.

@pranavvk Defeats using agentic AI?

@Ankit_Quant I've actually never had code spat out that is "slop". maybe again because I keep the blast reladius really really small. If anything, take the code one ai gives you, run it through a second... Will tune it even better.

@pranavvk That’s why I said need for great devs is going to sky rocket. Because AI writes slop and needs a lot of intervention. It is great for me if I have to code in Java as I don’t know the language. I’ll use whatever slop it generates. OTOH for Py, I need to micro manage it .

@Ankit_Quant So you control for those... Don't give them massive scope...use them as a scalpel .. They are a force multiplier, not a replacement .

@pranavvk They write codes that - - usually work and get the job done - are inefficient - as the scope grows, are not backward compatible or breakdown

@Ankit_Quant I'm going to disagree... lLMs write fantastic code... Just give them small snippets to do Codex, implement this function that does xyz, with a method signature and don't touch anything else. My most commonly used prompt

Just found out that the deceased, Tarun, was a Dalit. As usual, there is pin-drop silence from the neo-Ambedkarites. Ordinary Hindus are standing in solidarity with the family, both online and on the ground. Dalit organizations and leaders are missing. We all know why.

Citadel Securities published this graph showing a strange phenomenon. Job postings for software engineers are actually seeing a massive spike. Classic example of the Jevons paradox. When AI makes coding cheaper, companies actually may need a lot more software engineers, not fewer. When software is cheaper to build, companies naturally want to build a lot more of it. Businesses are now putting software into industries and tools where it was simply too expensive before. --- Chart from citadelsecurities .com/news-and-insights/2026-global-intelligence-crisis/

I am a proud US citizen and founder of a successful startup that employs 94 employees in the US and 180+ employees globally. I was in Dubai on a business trip meeting with financial institutions to help them fight financial fraud in the region, but now I am stranded. I expected the @usgov to do something to get US citizens out but I haven't seen any meaningful action. After 4 days of adrenalin and constant fear, I feel demoralised and abandoned by our government. It’s difficult watching other countries – UK, Israel, Spain, Italy and India – repatriate their citizens or ensure that commercial flights continue operating to bring them home. I became a naturalized US citizen because I believe in the American dream, and the idea that in a crisis, America never leaves its citizens behind. I see that American dream being shattered not just for me, but for tens of thousands of other Americans left stranded. I have 3 requests of our government: 1. Can the @usgov ensure the commercial airlines don't cancel US bound flights? I've booked a dozen flights to leave Dubai and ALL of them got canceled, even as flights to other countries continue operating. 2. If that is not possible, can the USG organize planes, commercial or military, to evacuate Americans out of Dubai and the surrounding region? I saw a very hopeful note from the Assistant Secretary of State for Global Public Affairs which states, “the US State Dept is in touch with 3,000 Americans and that we should call 1-202-501-4444 for assistance with departure options.” But that is unfortunately not accurate. I am enrolled in Step and have only received generic messages. Further, on calling that number, the message you get is: "Please don't rely on the USG for assisted departure or evacuation at this point. There are currently no evacuation flights at this time." 3. With funding cuts to the US consulates and with attacks on US embassies in the region, there’s no one that Americans can reach out to in the broader GCC region. Can we set up an emergency hotline within the US that actually works, and that has someone who is taking down more details? @SecRubio just stated that there are 1500 Americans who have contacted asking for assistance to evacuate. How did they do that because I am completely at a loss on who to call? I called up 1-202-501-4444 and all I got is a generic message. Myself and other Americans need help getting back home.

I thought this was parody. I was right. Liberalism in India is a parody. Dictators who have massacred lakhs of their own citizens, who don't give basic freedom to women and children, who have unleashed the worst kind of religious conservatism - are celebrated as "beacons of resistance". And these same people will also tell you that Modi is a fascist dictator who needs to be resisted at all cost. Imagine publicly stating in the same breath that - "Khamenei is a beacon of resistance and Modi if a fascist." I would be embarrassed of appearing in public if I held both these views at the same time. But they see no duality or hypocrisy in their shamelessness. Thankfully, ordinary Indians do. Which is why they have become irrelevant in the country.
