Jim Simons agreed to do exactly one long-form interview about his life in math, codebreaking for the NSA, and building Renaissance Technologies. The Simons Foundation filmed it and dumped it on their website behind a Vimeo player nobody could find. Two hours and 40 minutes. Someone reuploaded it to... show more

Jim Simons made 66%/YEAR for thirty years at Renaissance and never let an outside dollar through the door. Andrew Lo runs the MIT Laboratory for Financial Engineering and trained half the senior quants at Citadel, AQR, and Two Sigma. In 2019 they sat down at MIT for one hour and 28 minutes. The only time Simons ever talked publicly about money with someone who understood the math. Sitting on the Finance at MIT channel. Almost nobody outside academia has watched it through.

In 2014 a quant at Two Sigma quit his job, waited two months, then hacked back into their network and walked out with the trading algorithms that had made the fund billions. He planned to start his own hedge fund with them. Two Sigma manages $52 billion and was founded by the math PhD who sat next to Jeff Bezos at D.E. Shaw. They almost lost the formula to a former employee with a laptop. The full story is on a YouTube channel almost no one in finance reads. Bookmark it tonight. Then read the article below.

MIT put the full derivation of the Black-Scholes formula. The formula made Long-Term Capital Management $4 billion in five years. Then the same formula blew the fund up so badly the Federal Reserve had to bail it out in 1998 to stop the global financial system from collapsing. Two of the men who wrote it won the Nobel Prize the year before the crash. 50 minutes. Almost nobody in finance has watched it through. Bookmark it tonight. Then read the article below.

I watched Simon Dixon on What Bitcoin Did, and then I watched it again. “Brilliant” is so cliche but that’s exactly what this is. (Find it on YouTube.) He could hardly have made it more clear that the protest and the protection is one thing: Bitcoin in self-custody. 🧡

Jim Simons, the founder of Renaissance, used to break Soviet codes at a classified defense institute under the Pentagon. Then he wrote a letter to the New York Times against the Vietnam War. His boss called a general, and Simons was fired the same day. He left and built Medallion. The best performing fund in Wall Street history. In 1988 he made the decision that changed everything: trade by the models only. Blindly. No matter what you think in the moment.

jim simons spent 30 years building the most profitable fund in history. a guy just rebuilt the engine behind it with claude code in an afternoon. hidden markov models. 7 market states. the regime math renaissance ran on. knowing which game the market is playing is the whole edge. the strategy just rides on top. worth the time👇

Alan Oppenheim, MIT professor: "Jump Trading pays quants $650K to pull one real signal out of market noise. I wrote the textbook on that exact math and taught it for free." this free MIT lecture is the math the whole "quant edge" is built on, and almost nobody selling you a course will name it. the man teaching it wrote the signal-processing textbook every engineer on earth learned from, and he put the lectures online for nothing. here is the idea. a price chart is a signal buried in noise. most of what you see is random static, and hidden inside is a faint, repeating pattern with real mathematics for pulling it out. that is not a metaphor. jim simons was a codebreaker who did exactly this to enemy transmissions, then pointed the same math at the market and made a hundred billion dollars. none of it is new. oppenheim taught this in 1987, the math is older, and every lecture is free. same story i told in the article above. the edge was never a secret formula. it was knowing a market is a noisy signal, and having the tools to read it. here is what the gurus skip. the math to separate signal from noise is free and everyone has it. the edge is cleaner data than the next desk, and the discipline to trust a faint signal across thousands of trades instead of chasing the static. the filter is free. the patience to use it is not.
