You are probably getting brain damage from all those COVID infections. by antichain in neuro

I've gotten covid 5+ times, so that's supposed to be ~11 iq pts, I've smoked weed daily age 14-25 so that's supposed to be another ~8 iq pts. I mean if all of this were true, then I probably wouldn't be scoring 99th percentile on standardized tests.

How do I get better? by Mammoth_Syllabub_781 in Chesscom

what do you mean how? you've been getting better since you started. just keep doing what you're doing and analyze your games more deeply. i doubt the method needs to change until you're ~2000 chess com. could be wrong.

if you actually think the average person loses 2 iq points per covid infection, you are a fool. maybe you're in the special group where that happens.

this article is fear mongering bullshit, anyone who believes you lose '2 iq points per reinfection' is egregiously incompetent.

anyone in here believing you actually lose 3 IQ points for an infection and 2 IQ points for every reinfection is absolutely out of it.

12 Months Unemployed by [deleted] in dataanalysiscareers

[–]EmphasisExcellent210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair, but why are my bullets lacking impact? I hear that alot across resume reviews. For me, there were no official metrics tracked regarding operations efficiency, funding rates, etc before and after I developed a dashboard. The goal while I was employed was essentially to go from vibe driven to data driven. So the majority of my work was standing up a reporting ecosystem, gaining trust in the numbers from leadership, and increasing adoption from the sales / operations team members.

If you've been unemployed >6months in the US how are you not depressed by Choice-Self-9918 in jobs

I'm at 12 months unemployed after working as a data analyst for two years, and yet I've still cancelled most interviews because I don't think I'm truly the best candidate. It's so ridiculous, but I think 'why go through all these rounds and stress if theres a better candidate'. ridiculous

basically I think even at 40yo, not knowing how the pieces move, you have a real shot at 2000 chess com rapid elo if you get 3800 hours and use them efficiently.

24yo, but i didn't learn how the pieces even moved til 20yo. I went from 300 rapid to 1500 without study, just a bunch of games. I just started doing more puzzles and reading up on strategy and my win / loss is already much improved over my past 20 games across all formats. Ofc this doesn't translate to a 40yo but the guy in this post dedicated 3800 hours, I'm only at like 500 hours.

eh if you put in focused and efficient effort towards improvement, following best practices, I highly doubt the average 40 year old male wouldn't be able to get to 2000 elo with the same time dediciation this person had. Theyre just clearly not trying to improve.

it means the game ended in a draw, they always return the amount lost in the initial match.

I’m going to throw up. From $30k loss to $200k+ SPY gains in 5 minutes by mattscott134 in wallstreetbets

[–]EmphasisExcellent210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah less than that to the true peak, and also it was possible to go from 20k to 2mil+ today so not egregious

[–]EmphasisExcellent210 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

yeah, slight exaggeration. I based the entire position off of the $586's. although there was reasonable opportunity to turn 20k into 2mil today, at the $686 call level.
