This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) disclosed that co-founder Peter Thiel plans to sell up to 2 million shares of the company's stock, valued at about $280 million, according to a Monday regulatory filing. The filing indicates the proposed sale would be executed under a pre-arranged trading plan, a mechanism commonly used by executives and major shareholders to sell shares over time while complying with insider trading rules. Such plans are typically established in advance to avoid conflicts related to material nonpublic information. Thiel is among the company's largest shareholders, based on publicly available ownership data. The transaction, if completed in full, would represent a portion of his overall holdings in the artificial intelligence and data analytics firm, which provides software platforms used by government and commercial customers. The disclosure comes amid broader investor focus on insider transactions at high-growth technology companies, particularly those operating in defense and AI-related markets.

Singaporean fashion photographer and former model Chuando Tan has turned 60, and his birthday photos are once again fuelling disbelief online over the youthful appearance that first made him a social media sensation nearly a decade ago. Tan shared a reflective message alongside photos posted to Instagram on Tuesday to mark the milestone, quickly attracting hundreds of thousands of likes and a wave of comments from followers marvelling at how little he appears to have aged. “Today, on my 60th birthday, I am reminded that time is the only real wealth. Each sunrise arrives as an inheritance, not a guarantee,” Tan wrote in the post. “The wiser path now is simple: Return daily to nature and sunlight and align myself with what endures. I wish for peace on earth,” he wrote in the caption to the post. “60 and looking 35! Truly remarkable,” wrote one commenter, adding a shocked face emoji. Advertisement Another wrote: “I know he’s a vampire, but I can’t just prove it.” The celebrity, who is single, has built a global following partly because of that enduring fascination with his looks, which many online commenters say make him appear decades younger than his actual age. Advertisement Tan first attracted international attention in 2017 when images from his Instagram account circulated widely online, prompting media outlets around the world to spotlight the Singaporean creative whose sharply defined physique and youthful features contrasted strikingly with his age at the time at 51.

(RTTNews) - Despite rising tensions in the Middle East, German stocks moved higher on Wednesday, due largely to some bargain hunting after two successive days of sharp declines. U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement that the U.S. Navy would escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz to safeguard maritime trade in the Gulf and help stabilize surging global energy prices, is aiding sentiment a bit. The U.S. Development Finance Corporation (DFC) has confirmed its readiness to extend political risk insurance and guarantees for energy shipments passing through the Gulf. The benchmark DAX was up 369.98 points or 1.56% at 24,123.00 slightly past noon. Infineon Technologies and Daimler Truck Holding are up 4.4% and 4.2%, respectively. Rheinmetall, Siemens Energy, Siemens Healthineers and Siemens are up 2.3%-2.5%. BASF, Deutsche Post, Munich RE, Henkel, Merck, Volkswagen, Allianz, Zalando, SAP, Hannover Rueck, Deutsche Bank, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche Automobil Holding and Gea group are gaining 1%-2.2%. Adidas is plunging 7.4% after announcing changes in its supervisory board. Bayer is declining by nearly 2%. Brenntag is down 1.1%. The German flavors and fragrances maker Symrise is down 1.4% after forecasting a low single-digit decline in first-quarter organic sales. Data from S&P Global showed the HCOB Germany Composite PMI was revised slightly higher to 53.2 in February 2026 from a preliminary of 53.1, and above 52.1 in January. It is the highest reading in four months, amid faster increases in activity in both the manufacturing and service sectors. The HCOB Germany Services PMI was revised slightly higher to a four-month high of 53.5 in February 2026 from a preliminary of 53.4, and compared to 52.4 in January, final figures showed.

AMD's VP of AI Software, Anush Elangovan, has used Claude Code to help craft a pure-Python AMD GPU user-space driver. This Python user-space driver is currently being created to help exercise other ROCm code and for debugging in passing through the ROCm/HIP user-space stack.Anush was inspired by Tinygrad's user-space AMD GPU driver implementation and with Claude AI has created a user-space driver for stress testing of SDMA and compute/communications overlap debug. Anush posted on X : "I didn't open the editor once. [AI] Agents are the great equalizer in software. And Speed is the moat."With further work, the user-space driver has also been working on compute bound kernel support too. "Add pure-Python AMD GPU userspace driver A standalone Python driver that talks directly to /dev/kfd and /dev/dri/renderD* via ctypes ioctls, bypassing the ROCm/HIP userspace stack. Supports KFD backend with pluggable architecture for future bare-metal PCI (AM) backend. Features: - KFD ioctl bindings (queue, memory, events) - GPU family registry (RDNA2/3/4, CDNA2/3) - SDMA copy engine with linear copy and fence packets - PM4 compute packet builder (dispatch, release_mem, etc.) - Timeline semaphore for GPU-CPU synchronization - Topology parser for /sys/devices/virtual/kfd/kfd - ELF code object parser for kernel loading - 130 tests passing (unit + integration on MI300X/gfx942) Co-Authored-By: Claude (claude-opus-4-6)" This user-space driver is currently being developed via this GitHub branch . The initial commit explains as of the first features in place:Over the past two days this pure-Python AMD user-space driver has been extended to include multi-GPU support, compute-bound kernels, and other functionality. It will be interesting to see where work on this Python-based AMD GPU user-space driver leads.

imaginima/E+ via Getty Images Global portfolio strategist James Kostohryz is warning investors that the ongoing conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran may last far longer than markets anticipate—with potentially severe consequences for oil prices and the global economy. According to Kostohryz, who runs the Successful Portfolio Strategy investing group on Seeking Alpha, current market pricing reflects dangerous complacency. With Brent crude hovering around $70 and the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) still within 5% of all-time highs, investors appear to be betting on a swift resolution. “The market is still greatly underappreciating, greatly underestimating the risks that this poses to markets,” Kostohryz said in a recent podcast interview. He noted that the strategic objectives of both the U.S. and Israel—including eliminating Iran’s nuclear capabilities and missile production—cannot be achieved quickly, pointing to a four-to-six-week timeline as a best-case scenario. If the conflict drags on beyond one month, oil prices could surge above $100 per barrel. A disruption lasting two to three months could push prices toward $200, triggering a global recession and equity market declines of 20% or more. Kostohryz highlighted the vulnerability of private credit markets, warning that a recession would hit at “exactly the wrong time” given rising default rates and redemption pressures in that sector. For positioning, the strategist recommends overweighting Brent crude through ETFs like BNO while underweighting U.S. and Canadian oil equities due to potential export ban risks. He views gold as overbought and vulnerable despite the crisis environment, instead favoring Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) for inflation protection. “I haven’t seen people this complacent in my entire career,” Kostohryz warned investors.
