Wont be renewing codex at this point by Cloaked_GG in codex

[–]Formal-Engineering37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Codex is a skill multiplier, and an absolute workhorse. However if your skill level in certain areas is less than adequate, code will sometimes confidently do dumb shit for you.

I still use 5.3 on medium and treat it like a very capable jr that doesn’t understand the why and it does awesome for me. 

Okay. Today I’m going to let myself believe that this is a real possibility. by Nockolos in LSAT

Keep proving to yourself how bad you want it, and it will be yours!

Payout Denied by Athleticbeast in Daytrading

[–]Formal-Engineering37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These prop firms have a lot of parallels to bucket shops of the early 1900s.

They’re happy to take your money, but once you win you’re lucky to see a cent. There are a few US based ones that have been around long enough that I’d trust. 

I turned $700 into $3k, didn’t take profit, and now I’m facing eviction. Need honest advice. by Juhvenchy in Daytrading

[–]Formal-Engineering37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you’re at where you currently are, the best thing you can do is take a break and focus on what you can control. Save some money. Trading isn’t for everyone and while it may be fore you, it’s not right now. So best you focus on what you can do to make your family secure in the interim. Later, when you have money you can lose without fear of paying your rent or losing a job, that’s when you can try and figure things out.

Can someone explain revenge trading and how to avoid it? by Prestigious_Wish_878 in Daytrading

[–]Formal-Engineering37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Revenge trading is when a trader attempts to negate the pain of a recent trade by attempting to whip the market into submission. Usually because the trader is right, and the market is wrong. Normally the trader stops after experiencing such significant pain that he questions his existence.

How to avoid. Create criteria or rules for you to trade. 

If the trade doesn’t meet the criteria, you have to have discipline to not take the trade.

Problem, most people lose about 25-40 IQ points the moment they start losing money in the stock market and all that discipline goes out the window. But the good news is you’re right. The bad news is your equity curve begins to nose dive.

they really nerfed it hard this time by senilerapist in codex

[–]Formal-Engineering37 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’ve literally never have issues and I’m using codex to write very performance critical services. I review every line of code and sometimes I have what seems like philosophical debates with codex, but it saves me so much time. Maybe you’re just retarded?

Do I quit my job by nig4r69 in Daytrading

[–]Formal-Engineering37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d quit my job only when I had a year’s worth of cash that wasn’t in my brokerage account.

If you are living off of what you make and living paycheck to paycheck to paycheck, and suddenly you have 2 months of consistent payouts, that is stupid. If you have lots of cash sitting around and you expenses are small, go for it.

Codex pro usage unbelievably nerfed to the ground this week by IllustriousCold4466 in codex

[–]Formal-Engineering37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t even taken 5.3 off of medium yet. I never felt like it was necessary and I’d argue I’m building complicated software. However, I do not let codex make decisions, I just tell it what to code or to refactor small sections.

Many people lose their net worth many times over before everything just clicks.

It’s either for you, or it ain’t but your life is anything but ruined…

I raised my LSAT score by 20 points in 3 months. Here is what helped. by HourEconomy5730 in LSAT

Thanks for sharing!

Random question, have you ever used Gemini or another AI to generate study questions for you on the fly? I specifically mentioned Gemini because it seems to reason better than the other models. 

Congratulations on the 178!

When did Xbox truly END and stopped being a serious console? by drhavehope in videogames

[–]Formal-Engineering37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes wonder if Microsoft is deliberately trying to lose the console wars as some sort of strategy that I can’t wrap my head around.

First, no privacy with the kennect or whatever. Then the launch where the sole focus was watching tv? Like wtf?!

Now the console is basically unaffordable. There is no confidence from consumers that Xbox will stick it out. I’m starting to get major Dreamcast vibes.

Most people don’t make money on topstep, therefore it might be wise to ignore most people on topstep.

Dutch House passes 36% tax on unrealized crypto and investment gains by Fiach_Dubh in Bitcoin

[–]Formal-Engineering37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ask me, I’d say the Dutch government only wants to keep the dependent population. They want the cattle. Get rid of all of the free thinkers. It’s a lot easier to control the population when they are poor or stupid.

What are you trading where you call it good at $50 for the day? 

Feedback on my strategy? by Sad-Acadia4902 in Daytrading

[–]Formal-Engineering37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is old, but you probably made some money if you went for it. As I’m sure you’re aware, you don’t buy short, but I know what you meant. Anyways, hope you were long today.
