My favorite answers:

How do you mix quantitative asset allocation with qualitative views?

Empirical or theoretical insights that have shaped your thinking

Why is the first principal component a proxy for the market portfolio?

How do I graphically represent the evolution of a covariance matrix over time?

Which approach dominates? Mathematical modelling or data mining?

comment Reference request: Survey article on GPU in Finance
GPU is used for problems that can be solved in parallel. A genetic algo, GRRN network, and some optimization problems can benefit from a GPU (1000x speed-up).

comment Use of AI in portfolio optimization
Most of us could rattle off dozens of such funds. AI is a broadly used term. Stylistically, I would be wary of an approach that states "There are no systems that are completely bad or completely good. If you have such a system that hits wrong every time, you just turn it around," he says. Suggests that the trades are not grounded in a hypothesis.

comment How can I use Entropy-pooling of Atillio Meucci to constuct a portfolio?
Fair enough. I think Meucci was demonstrating that - unlike Black-Litterman - he can deal with assets that have non-linear payoffs, take views on factors that are statistically related to the assets in question but not a part of the asset pricing function (ex: 10-year spread in his Butterfly trading example), including partial views on aspects of the distribution rather than simply views on relative or absolute return expectations. So he set a high bar to clear to demonstrate the power of entropy pooling.

comment Sanity check - How to price callables
The code above has no commenting and the variables are not well defined. You should at a minimum be using pseudocode if you want any feedback. This algo seems to be missing the recursive dynamic I describe but since the variables are not defined no one can evaluate this.
