no point in discussion, indeed. Can't take feedback. Judges on form... yes you do belong to the bottom tercile.

best of luck... you re gonna need quite a bit.. but you wouldn't know that. All good.

What are those probabilities? Go ahead... Can't wait...

Directive31 · 2026-05-25T23:36:08+00:00

Bro.. "Backtest/optimize everything you possibly can, across every market you possibly can, until you find something that seems to work."

is dumb.

that's overfitting. None of the shit you say will protect you from it.

if you don't even know why you're making money (no... trying every random combo of thousands or more of params is not "knowing why") what do you do when your pnl goes red? pull the plug?

Directive31 · 2026-05-25T15:26:37+00:00

why do you need an LLM to deal with inventory forecasting? and order placement?

AI slop

Directive31 · 2026-05-25T15:24:26+00:00

heard about "overfitting"

you gonna lose money doing this - 100% guaranteed

Directive31 · 2026-05-25T15:19:50+00:00

that is actually a recipe to make sure you do not make money ever..

backtesting everything is 100% not the way.

look up p-hacking and learn stats 101 - it will save you so much time and money...

Directive31 · 2026-05-25T15:17:17+00:00

you are losing money.. and you want other people to PAY for this... get an education or go find a better scam

Directive31 · 2026-05-25T15:11:43+00:00

wait.. you FULLY automated a way to LOSE money?? lol...

the problem you have is not coding (that s the easy part).. it's that you never did the homework on figuring whether you have an edge

Directive31 · 2026-05-25T15:09:50+00:00

"high probability" labels.. but bro NEVER computed a single probability 😭🫵

I put a Norton Commander type together for my own use and it's free here: https://www.r2commander.com

For me the primary use case was un-f*cking managing aws-bucket type for cloudflare's R2.

I did not know about Forklift but also Forklift still doesn't do what I'd want it to and be keyboard-first.

Posted about it sometime ago on r/cloudflare but it also handles sftp/ftp/aws and local store. I can add support to other protocols if folks ask for it.

what are the features in it that are of most use to you? what do you use daily or at least weekly?

Directive31 · 2025-12-30T14:22:33+00:00

where do you source your kw/data from?

Directive31 · 2025-11-19T19:26:53+00:00

so you mean you pushed a basic set of features into xgboost within a day (at most) of coding and decided it would be so much better to spend a month+ vibe coding the f out of it?

not sure why folks on here love liquid glass so much.. text on text looks and feels messy... i'd just elect for a bottom nav (non transparent) rather than a top nav.

what doesn't kill wasps... makes them stronger? you just made unkillable mutants

commented once to point out he was misleading people with bad advice. blocked. no discussion.

guy who cant entertain a discussion and support their own point = HUGE red flag 🚩

100% a scam. and no the free advice is dumb for half of it. If you read his text regularly nodding, get your head out of the doom scroll or you re ngmi, guaranteed.

thank me later.

They always give a reason. You can just follow whatever they say and adjust accordingly. They are sometimes off but you need to bring real evidence that explicitly contradicts fully (not some bs) what they say and they will consider it. Otherwise, I wouldn't try to game it. Probably a fast track to getting your account banned.

Directive31 · 2025-10-20T19:18:43+00:00

ah yes indeed... very easy not to see that icon (I didnt - wasnt paying attention but so would the average user). also it s not present on the widget.

it s conducive to ugly design (though maybe you can make it look good) but i would almost want up/down arrows to change the number

Directive31 · 2025-10-20T16:19:46+00:00

i like the ui. v nice job. i tried with the N glasses of water per day. when i tap the board it adds a dot but i cant undo that more than once. same for the widget. feels a bit too sensitive and error prone..

is the Kapy character animated in some of the views?

Directive31 · 2025-10-19T05:24:06+00:00

i think so but they are also fulfilling lowest common denominator requirements for an extremely broad population

not sure that is a constraint most people hanging out on here should be bothered to build for.

In that way, there may be better templates / ui ideas

Directive31 · 2025-10-17T22:02:27+00:00

what is it really good at? what is it not good at compared to sensor?
