Jane Street just showed the inside of their AI training data center in Texas. 4,032 GPUs. 56 racks. 8,000 km of fiber. liquid cooling running through every server because air cooling can't handle the heat anymore. but the part that got me was the origin story. Ron Minsky, who co-heads their technology group. said their first compute cluster was literally six Dell boxes stacked on top of each other at the end of a desk row. they called it "the hive." the trading systems sat out in the room with the traders because they wanted to be able to unplug them if something went wrong. at one point, someone vacuuming the office unplugged a live trading system in the middle of the day. from six Dell boxes and a vacuum cleaner incident to a liquid-cooled GPU data center processing trades in under 100 nanoseconds. that's a 20-year arc.

Ken Griffin on the single factor he looks for when hiring at Citadel: "show me an athlete who did well academically." "an athlete because they know what it takes to win and they've had to experience loss." talent is everywhere. what's rare is someone who knows how to lose, recover, and still perform at a high level. same thing separates profitable traders from everyone else.

the greatest energy trader of all time on what being the best actually costs you: "i would sit there from six in the morning to 6 at night staring at the screen. go out with people from the industry that night. dream about the industry. in the shower in the morning i'd be thinking about it. after doing that for 17 years, at some point i just had to step back." nobody tells you this part. the people who become the best in the world at one thing are almost never the best at anything else while they're doing it.

Druckenmiller: 30% annualized returns. zero losing years from 1981 to 2010. his take on contrarianism: "it's overrated." "Soros used to say the crowd's right 80% of the time. you just can't be caught in the other 20%." "i don't care if a trade is crowded if the thesis is right and the trend is with me." most retail traders try to be contrarian on every trade. the best macro investor alive says stop doing that.

Agustin Lebron, former Jane Street trader, on a trait he looked for when hiring: "i would love to talk to the person who is the third best player in the world at some weird obscure chess variant." "that tells me they have the willingness to grind and get really good at something, not because there's a pot of gold, but because they find inherent enjoyment in it." they're motivated by the puzzle. the money is just the scoreboard.

in 1985, someone filmed what it actually looked like to trade billions of dollars in currencies across London, New York, and Hong Kong in a single day. a 24-year-old in Hong Kong trading on pure instinct. a London dealer "bashing" the pound for profit. a New York speculator running 100% pure speculation for wealthy clients. this is one of the rarest trading documentaries ever made. bookmark it.
