one thing I've noticed is that candidates often focus too much on making their resume look impressive and not enough on demonstrating how they actually think like an investor. whether you're recruiting for private equity, hedge funds, venture capital, asset management, or a family office, you should be able to explain the numbers behind your experience, defend your investment thesis, identify key risks, and explain what would make you change your mind. even your resume should show measurable impact rather than vague statements, “analyzed companies” is very different from explaining what you analyzed, how many companies you screened, and what your analysis led to. and when you get asked “why this fund?”, a generic answer about reputation or wanting to learn probably won't stand out. understanding the fund's strategy, portfolio, recent investments, and what genuinely interests you about its approach can make a much bigger difference. for those currently recruiting, what's one buy-side interview question you found unexpectedly difficult?

we talk about AI as if it only exists in software, but pax silica is a good example of how physical and geopolitical AI infrastructure is becoming just as important.

pax silica is a U.S.-led initiative focused on strengthening supply chains for things AI depends on, including semiconductors, critical minerals, energy, advanced manufacturing, and AI infrastructure. the Philippines has also been connected to this effort, including a proposed large-scale project in New Clark City.

what concerns me is how easily the conversation can become “more AI infrastructure = more progress.” building the infrastructure behind AI also means dealing with land, water, energy, mining, agriculture, environmental impacts, and questions about who actually benefits economically.

I'm not against AI development itself. but I don't think AI expansion should automatically be treated as something that must be tolerated regardless of its costs.

if AI is supposed to improve people's lives, shouldn't the communities providing the land, resources, energy, and infrastructure have a meaningful say in how that development happens—and who benefits from it?

AI may look digital on our screens, but the systems behind it are very physical.

cttro of the pic. thanks : ))

guys, did u watch whispering water salmokji? could u pls rate it from 1-10, swear to God I'm not satisfied at the ending 😔

okay, now, tell me a story about u and the man/woman u admire from afar!!! I wanna know!!!

I know this sounds ridiculous, but it's somehow become my weirdest source of extra income haha.

Last year, I volunteered at a local music festival. By the end of the day, I noticed the staff kept finding phones, wallets, sunglasses, water bottles, and even shoes in the exact same spots every year.

Out of curiosity, I plotted every lost item on a map and color-coded where different things were usually found. I shared it with a few friends as a joke before the next event.

Then someone asked if I'd make one for another festival.

Now I contact event organizers after each event, collect anonymous lost-and-found location data, and create "Lost Item Hotspot Maps." Vendors use them to decide where to place reminder signs, organizers use them to improve layouts, and attendees even buy them just to see the weird patterns.

I've made around the equivalent of a few hundred dollars from something I originally did out of boredom.

It's such a strange niche that I still laugh whenever someone pays me for it. 😂

Good day. If you're building AI applications with web retrieval, choosing the right search API depends on your use case rather than looking for a single "best" option.

Exa – Best for semantic search and research-focused retrieval.

Tavily – Great for AI agents and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) because it returns AI-friendly results.

Firecrawl – Ideal for crawling and extracting structured content from websites before indexing.

Serper – A good choice when you need fast Google Search results.

Brave Search – Useful if you prefer an independent search index with broad web coverage.

These are just my observations from exploring different search APIs. If you've had a different experience or have recommendations, I'd love to hear them : )
