Trend Engine: AI-Powered News & Trends

With the rise of Google’s SGE and other AI-driven search engines, feeding LLMs clean, structured content directly is becoming more important. The emerging llms.txt standard is a way to do just that.

Manually creating these files is a nightmare. LLMsTxt Generator Chrome Extension lets you point it at your sitemap.xml, and it will crawl your site, convert every page to clean Markdown, and package it all into a zip file. It generates a main llms.txt file and individual llms-full.txt files for each page.

How this helps with SEO/LEO/AI Mentions:

Control Your Narrative: You provide a “canonical” text version of your content specifically for LLMs, free from navbars, ads, and scripts.

Easy Content Audits: Get a clean, text-only version of your entire site in minutes. Great for checking internal linking, keyword density, and content structure.

Future-Proofing: By providing llms.txt files and linking to them with link rel alternative tag, you’re sending a strong signal to crawlers that you have an AI-ready version of your content. The extension even provides the exact HTML tags you need to add.

It’s 100% local (no privacy concerns) and open-source. I’m looking for feedback from the SEO community on how to make it more useful for our workflows.

Give it a try and let me know what you think.

What are your thoughts on the llms.txt initiative? Is this something you’re planning for?

How to actually confirm whether an order was filled during backtesting in case the buy order price is exactly at the top of the bid?

Example:
Lets say an asset pair has bid and ask at 0.8001/0.8002 for long time periods; how to know or assume when a buy order at 0.8001 is filled if the price oscillates between them for a prolonged time period?

If this question is due to obvious misunderstandings on my side, please do enlighten me.

Any help on this seemingly obvious beginner question is appreciated.

I was in industry, then academia and I want to go back to industry, but outside the US. Unfortunately, I lack personal connections other than a handful of former students. Has anyone left the US and made it into non-US funds and any suggestions on making that transition? I am preferring to believe that my ignorance is oceanic rather than believe that I can find all of the legal, cultural, immigration issues that are created. If you’ve left the US, what warnings/suggestions for an experienced person would you give? Do you have any suggested professional associations? Any reading?

NEW PAPER: Unifying Probabilistic Learning in Transformers

What if attention, diffusion, reasoning and training were all the same thing?

Our paper proposes a novel, unified way of understanding AI — and it looks a lot like quantum mechanics.

Intelligent models should not be a melting pot of different structures. This work aims to take a first step in unifying those ideas — next-token prediction, diffusion, attention, reasoning, test-time training… Can these objects which all seem so different all arise from the same framework? The paper includes **a novel, exact derivation and explanation of attention**. More interesting still, however, is that the framework (and so AI) appears to be an approximation of a **quantum system**.

What do you think about the work? Please let me know I’m eager for thoughts on the content or ideas!

I’ve seen some web3 domain names saying they’re applying for ICANN. Web3 currently is a lifetime ownership of that web3 domain. Browsers like Brave allow you to use some of the web3 domain names.

.brave is applying for ICANN too. If I got a domain name from them would I then have to pay yearly once they’re approved by ICANN? If I don’t what happens to the domain I own and will it conflict?

• Forecasted Risk: VaR, CVaR, multi-horizon EWMA/GARCH/EGARCH vol forecasts, marginal & forecast risk contributions. Suitable for fat tails.

• Realized Risk: max drawdown, VaR, CVaR, up/down captures, tracking error, rolling metrics, correlation matrix, vol contribution.

• Factor Exposure: traditional factors like quality/value/size, and custom themtic factor decomposition (via proxy construction & regression)

• Position Sizing: Volatility-based position sizing with forward-looking risk constraints. Can add whatever sizing methodology you wish (like risk parity).

Built using Cursor + Claude Sonnet (state of the art AI coding platform) to accelerate development—AI handled code scaffolding and test harnesses, I provided direction and owned the math and investment logic.

My 4 younger brothers and I are planning to take a 10-day international trip in May of 2026 (I’m 28, my brothers are 22, 21, 18, and 14). I’m looking for advice as to where we should go. Any input is welcome!

We’re trying to keep lodging and food relatively cheap and most likely wanting to head to the Middle East, something like Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, etc.

I’ve been out of the country a handful of times but none of my brothers have, especially not to a place where the culture will be significantly different from back home (we’re American). But that’s what we want, someplace that’s very much culturally different but also has amazing scenery and such.

Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! We’re trying to get this thing planned ASAP so we can buy plane tickets soon.

Thank you!

Hey everyone, following up on my last post, I found a workaround for the current bug. After finishing a voice message transcription, select all the generated text and cut it. You can paste it elsewhere to save a copy or just keep it in your clipboard. Then, start another dictation to continue your message. When the composer fills up again, paste your earlier text back in wherever you want. Repeat this as needed. Just select, copy, and keep building your message. It’s definitely more cumbersome, but it works until the interface bug gets fixed.
