Palantir's 'Other Worlds' Numbers: A Decade Leap from Government Walls to Commercial Seas

Last Tuesday after market close, I spent a long time staring at Palantir's earnings report. Not because the stock jumped 16%, but because those "otherworldly" commercial revenue numbers—a 135% year-over-year growth—shattered Wall Street's expectations. From a computer vision perspective, it’s like training a model on ImageNet and suddenly realizing it handles all the unlabeled wild images perfectly.
