In the AI era, more modern-day Da Vincis will emerge. People driven by relentless curiosity and an obsession with learning are no longer limited by time or access to knowledge. AI amplifies their ability to explore disciplines, master new skills, and turn ambitious ideas into reality at an unprecedented pace. The gap between curiosity and … Continue reading The Age of the Modern Da Vinci

Mixed precision means different parts of a model's computation use different numeric formats — e.g., weights stored in FP16/BF16, but certain ops (like accumulation) done in FP32 to avoid numerical instability. It's a speed/memory vs. accuracy tradeoff. This is a property of how you execute, not what the weights are. Native precision: the format the … Continue reading Terminology of LLM 01

If you know what you want and what you value, life gets simple. Not easy — simple. Naval said happiness is a skill. Skills require knowledge. Knowledge requires non-ambiguity. You can't master something you're vague about — and most people are vague about themselves. Ask anyone what they actually want, not the LinkedIn version. Most … Continue reading Remove Ambiguity Live a Simple Life

provided by claude itself: General tips for effective prompting 1. Be clear and specific Clearly state your task or question at the beginning of your message. Provide context and details to help Claude understand your needs. Break complex tasks into smaller, manageable steps. Bad prompt: <prompt> "Help me with a presentation." </prompt> Good prompt: <prompt> … Continue reading Claude Prompting Guide

Using the same MCP server I created across different AI platforms, such as a coding assistant and Claude Desktop, I've noticed that the responses vary significantly, particularly when it comes to "finding alpha signals using RBICS data." Claude consistently provides stronger answers to finance-related questions. The primary reason for this difference lies in the MCP … Continue reading Same MCP Server, Different AI Can Give Different Answer and Claude is Strong in Finance

Fifteen days ago, SpaceX completed the largest initial public offering in financial history, raising $75 billion at a $1.77 trillion valuation. On its first day of trading, the stock blew past $160. Within 48 hours it had nearly reached $225. Then, just as quickly, it fell — shedding more than 30% in a week, settling … Continue reading SpaceX at $153: Three Companies, One Stock, and a $1.2 Trillion Question

With 29 tools in my MCP server, it's still just a collection of tool execution. User experience is not good.
