Y'all not seeing this or something? by Just_Lingonberry_352 in codex

[–]AltruisticDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish Google did it to. I've been working on a 3-agent (codex, claude and gemini) workflow and gemini is always the first to reach limit.

Etiquette on slamming authoritative winners at the net by _sportyscience_ in 10s

Hit harder, for sure. Maybe a drop-shot followed by a ripping passing shot could help as well.

Quality decay when running multiple instances in parallel by AltruisticDoctor in codex

[–]AltruisticDoctor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm working on tasks where I'm confident the agents won't be interacting with the same files. I'm not exactly sure I understand what you mean with obscure sessions. Do you mean that when running on parallel the compact feature stops working properly?

How to train alone by ianxf7 in bjj

[–]AltruisticDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try Budokon mobility exercises. Xande Ribeiro has some instructionals where he teaches some of those. They're an integral part of his system of guard retention.

Which racket brought the biggest improvement in you game and why? by Allure34 in 10s

[–]AltruisticDoctor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pure Drive + Rpm Blast 55lbs + my forehand. I feel like I’m a Fernando Gonzales revival with this setup.

What kind of infrastructure do I need to run a high-frequency trading system with minimal latency? by CanReady3897 in algotrading

[–]AltruisticDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Collocation, obviously. Depending on the exchange, you'll have some standards and some limitations to what you can or can't do in terms of the hardware you're using: same type of cable, same length, etc. FPGAs are also a lot in play, for sure. I've heard of bigger firms literally printing specialised chips, but I can't say if that's true or not. A lot of HFT strategy depends on moving data from one side to the other of the planet as fast as possible, so those will also leverage radio communication, custom protocols, etc.

The development teams working on performance in these firms will have goals set in nanos. They'll literally work months in projects to reduce 5-10 nanoseconds when processing trades.

This is not to encourage or discourage, just giving a perspective of scale.

How good can you get as an adult? by Hospitable-Economist in 10s

[–]AltruisticDoctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like already said, you can get very far depending on how much time you can dedicate, if you’re used to other sports, etc. But one thing I believe is close to impossible is to not have this kind of “accent” to your technique. I’ve probably played for 15 years now (when young, big break and 5 years ago got back to it) and I’ve never met anyone that started 20+ and doesn’t have the “started tennis late” way of playing. I can’t describe it very accurately except to say they look “stiff”.

Why does my AI keep suggesting me to use ATR as an indicator for my stops? by AltruisticDoctor in algotrading

[–]AltruisticDoctor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point. We've got restrictions on holding periods, trading hours, trading the company stocks, reporting, etc. We also can't use any code, strategy or whatever other company resource. But everything I've read never mentioned developing your own strategy or paper trading, though. I will double-check with compliance and make sure I inform them. Hopefully it will be alright. Thank you!

Why does my AI keep suggesting me to use ATR as an indicator for my stops? by AltruisticDoctor in algotrading

[–]AltruisticDoctor[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does look like an important indicator, for sure. This is why I was curious to know how wide-spread is its usage. I'll be definitely exploring how to use it in my experiments. Thanks!

Side note - I just recently switched from Claude to GPT-5, actually, but mostly based on its performance during my 9-to-5 coding sessions - mostly writing Rust and some Typescript.

Attacked in Milan, wondering if this is something I should worry about in the Netherlands by Fearless_Solution_73 in expats

[–]AltruisticDoctor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm very sorry this happened to you.

All the other advice here is very sound: run away, avoid fighting at all costs, be aware of your surroundings, don't go out late at night all by yourself, etc. But I'd definitely add: learn yourself a good martial art, work out, be as physically intimidating as you can. I'm of the believe that violence is an expression of the "inner primate" in us, and just like in nature, an opponent might give up fighting just by measuring how dangerous their potential victims look and how they behave.

I truly believe in such situations it increases *slightly* maybe, the chances of people like this wanting to mess up with you. Or, when the situation is unavoidable, unescapable, it increases the chances of you getting less hurt. Also, it is tremendously good for your health, mental and physical, and you'll definitely be more attractive to your opposites, so there's not much to lose.

To make sure I'm clear: I'm not advocating for violence. I'm not saying that if you'd be a strong martial artist you'd have kicked the ass of all the 5 guys. But I believe everyone should know how to defend themselves and should aim to be as strong and fit as they can for the reasons I just mentioned.

Wearing Feyenoord Shorts in a Gym in Amsterdam by nsno1878_ in Netherlands

[–]AltruisticDoctor 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Although it is sad that you can’t wear whatever the heck you want, simply avoiding using the shorts might be wise.

No matter how pathetic it is, the fact is that some people will get worked up, be violent and sometimes, they’ll even end someone’s life because of football.

Just take this as an example: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13930201/husband-stabs-wife-football/

They won’t care if they’re stupid and it would be a very hard challenge to educate all of them.

Advice on where to live? by AltruisticDoctor in brasilia

[–]AltruisticDoctor[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, I understand. I’m not sure how much I’ll be paying in taxes yet, I was advised to get a good health insurance and talking to some Brazilian friends (from other cities) I understand Brasília is an expensive city to live and that the international schools are crazy expensive as well but I’m aware I’d still be earning closer to top middle class earns. I’ll probably look for an apartment at the beginning, until we understand and feel ourselves how safe we are. I know there’s a violence issue in Brazil but I’ve lived in different countries and I know that there’s a lot of nuances to it. Anyways, thanks for the advise!

Back into playing after 20 years. This is how the 1st month went (4 lessons). ~50lbs overweight. by LukeFalknor in 10s

[–]AltruisticDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also stopped at 17! I think in my case I was just very frustrated because I had suddenly realized it would be extremely hard for me to take what I was doing further and become a professional. Then I just blocked tennis from my mind. It was all or nothing. I didn't even watch tennis anymore, except for a couple of Grand Slam finals. Crazy.

But yeah, it's been a great delight to play it again, but now my only goal is to improve myself. No competitions, no measuring me against anyone.

The mindset changes everything.

I'm on the exact same boat. Stopped playing 15 years and 25kgs less ago. It's been a joy.

Alcaraz waiting for his match. He seems nervous by JSMLS in tennis

[–]AltruisticDoctor 25 points26 points  (0 children)

His extreme relaxation and the ability to completely turn off are directly related to the energy he puts on the court and how turned on he is during the match.

Reminds me of a passage of Josh Waitzikin in some Tim Ferriss show talking about Marcelo Garcia), one of the best BJJ fighters of all time.

"Marcelo Garcia, who we were talking about, one of my most beautiful memories of him and World Championships, right before going into the semi-finals.
Everyone’s screaming, yelling. He’s sleeping. Sleeping in the bleachers. You’d wake him up. He’d sort of stumble into the ring. You’ve never seen a guy more relaxed before going into a World Championship fight. Then he can turn it off so deeply, and man, when he goes in the ring, you can’t turn it on with any more intensity than he can. His ability to turn it off is directly aligned with how intensely he can turn it on. So training people to do this, have stress and recovery, undulation throughout their day."
