Militia Capital is hiring a quantitative engineer in Austin.
AI is probably going to eat discretionary investing in the next 10 years.
We want to create AI tools and trading systems that distill and improve the judgment of our portfolio managers. We're not a HFT/MFT shop and don't expect to compete there; we're trying something different, which is to automate and trade on superior qualitative forecasts over weeks, months and maybe years.
We're looking for exceptional statistics/ML, problem-solving and engineering ability. Finance experience is optional. Exceptional graduates and candidates from other technical fields are welcome.
Pay: $275K base, $300K-$500K target bonus, depending mostly on your contribution to profits.
Email sam@militiacapital.com with your resume and a short description of your hardest technical project (research, open-source work, etc.), ideally with a link to it.
I can't reply to everyone, and I apologize for that.

Dems have been completely coopted and corrupted by this crazy nonsense right at time when we need rule-of-law leadership based on first principle thinking and freedoms.
I cannot emphasize strongly enough that this is a cancer eating our country.

Extended interview: Former Nebraska senator Ben Sasse has metastatic pancreatic cancer. He spoke with 60 Minutes' Scott Pelley about where America has been and where it could still go.
Let’s go! 🇺🇸
We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1jxXgeyMk…

In December 2025, former US Senator @BenSasse announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. That's the primary topic for this @UncKnowledge conversation about mortality, faith, and what truly matters when time is short.
Talking to host @P_M_Robinson, Sasse reflects on "redeeming the time"—holding ambition lightly, loving family more deliberately, and resisting the urge to make politics or professional success the center of life.
The discussion also covers Sasse's thoughts on the failures of Congress; the dangers of a fragmented, attention-starved republic; the crisis of higher education; and the moral challenges of technological abundance.
He speaks candidly and movingly about regret, forgiveness, prayer, and suffering—arguing that while death is a real enemy, it does not get the final word. Watch the full conversation on X:
“It’s just one more step, that’s all”

This was great.
Dave Ricks has been at @EliLillyandCo for 20% of its 150-year history. He came to the pub, poured his own Guinness, and gave us a 2-hour state of the pharma union: drug prices, clinical trials, patent clocks, the rise of generics, Chinese peptides, compounding pharmacies, the US healthcare system, and how the broad success of GLP-1s have transformed Lilly's business. If you've never heard Dave speak before, you're in for a treat.
