Quant finance alpha forecasting with alt data and LLMs


What kind of alt data?


As an update to this, what about more institutional websites like [1] [1] https://www.institutionalinvestor.com/


HN is dope, but wanted to know if there's more "finance-ish" kinds of boards out there, that have such a huge following like HN.


Oh, for sure, and I should have caveat'd this, but I'm not looking for that reason, it's more just "interesting stuff about finance", like the other day someone posted [1] and I that was the catalyst in my mind.

For sure, I agree, HN is a great spot for bringing up any topic, that's what I love about it, but was thinking maybe there's something like this for Finance since it's such a deep space. I haven't heard of these, and I'll check them out. Thanks!


Nice! Thank you.


curating the right follows on Twitter (FinTwit) is the closest thing you will find. You could follow people like @CliffordAsness (a well known and outspoken quant) and just choose some of his follows. The toughest part is disentangling the good accounts from the promoters. valueinvestorsclub.com is great. If you get Bloomberg, there are industry/interest specific anonymous chats that are useful as well.


Would “AS OF SYSTEM TIME” from SQL:2011[0] standard do the trick?

I’ve recently put together an awesome list about temporality, including: soft delete, time travel, slowly changing dimensions, and bitemporality. https://github.com/daefresh/awesome-data-temporality


"travel & outdoors" > I do the same thing, Google Maps stars for me.


True.

Yet so many ORM's come with "soft-delete" built-in:

- [Golang Bun](https://bun.uptrace.dev/guide/soft-deletes.html#introduction) Lightweight Golang ORM for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, and SQLite

- [Golang GORM](https://gorm.io/docs/delete.html#Soft-Delete) The fantastic ORM library for Golang

- [Typescript DeepKit](https://docs.deepkit.io/english/database.html#_plugins) High performance typescript framework

- [Java Spring](https://www.baeldung.com/spring-jpa-soft-delete) How to Implement a Soft Delete with Spring JPA

- [Typescript TypeOrm](https://doug-martin.github.io/nestjs-query/docs/persistence/...) Easy CRUD for GraphQL

- [Typescript Sequalize](https://sequelize.org/docs/v6/core-concepts/paranoid/) Sequelize is a modern TypeScript and Node.js ORM for Oracle, Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite and SQL Server, and more.

- [Typescript Prisma](https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/components/prisma-client...) Next-generation Node.js and TypeScript ORM

- [Rust](https://docs.rs/diesel-softdelete/latest/diesel_softdelete/) Diesel query builder

- [Python Django](https://github.com/scoursen/django-softdelete) Soft delete for Django ORM, with support for undelete

GDPR is a good point. Also, do people really go back and delete?
