Bayesian statistics you’ve likely encountered MCMC. While the rest of the world is fixated on the latest LLM hype, Markov Chain Monte Carlo remains the quiet workhorse of high-end quantitative finance and risk management. It is the tool of choice when “guessing” isn’t enough and you need to rigorously map out uncertainty. Despite the intimidating …

an interesting library the other day that I hadn’t heard of before.  PythoC is a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) compiler that allows developers to write C programs using standard Python syntax. It takes a statically-typed subset of Python code and compiles it directly down to native machine code via LLVM IR (Low Level Virtual Machine Intermediate …
