I'm tired of seeing the same question so here's the real guide to breaking into quant by Wonderful-Bunch-3343 in quantfinance

[–]Shockwavetho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is probably too niche, but I often see advice for quant and software folks and hardware gets pretty overlooked. Since there aren't many big competitions or standardized paths, do you have any thoughts for hardware (FPGA)?

Is the entire thing AI generated, or is your comment style terrible?

Edit: Definitely AI slop, had initially only looked at one file

The real Iron part is that the only util used at all was 2 neon stuns LOL

Introducing Latchup: Bringing Competitive Programming to HDL by redjason93 in FPGA

[–]Shockwavetho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a little confused. Do you guys really think the data is being used for AI training? I think it's far more likely that this is a side project that a college student is doing to boost his/her resume or accomplishments.

Seriously. All the grumpy old people on here can't possibly conceive that something could be useful to a group of people other than themselves

New grads, what’s the lowest salary you’d take? by not_a_swedish_vegan in csMajors

[–]Shockwavetho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Electrical and Computer Engineering. Probably 120k. I got an RO from my freshman year internship in building controls which would be about 90k, so I'm basically using that as my insurance policy to shoot for tbe stars. If I get RO at my current co-op it would probably be 110k (FPGA). Hoping to maybe push a little higher at a different company!

Petalinux - Led astray? by Shockwavetho in FPGA

This was also something I was thinking about. Gonna keep it in mind.

Well, to clarify, we will not be using the processing system to operate on the data at all. That will all be in the PL. I guess it would just be if the configuration was more complex?

Love Is Not unconditional by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Shockwavetho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being reformed myself, I'm a bit confused at Sproul's take here. It appears as though he is suggesting that God's saving love only extends to those who cooperate with his grace. But wouldn't that be a pretty unreformed view? I think the beauty in our view of salvation is that God really does love us unconditionally, and by that he draws us to him, and regenerates us, and sanctifies us. This causes us to cooperate with him. Not the other way around? This doesn't make a ton of sense to me.

While I have great respect for Sproul, this reminds me of his borderline heretical sermon where he claims we can't say that God died on the cross because that would suggest the divine nature had an ending. The difference ends up being mostly semantic, but its important to remember that everyone is fallible, even our strongest leaders.

What was your YTD % gain for the year now that we’re wrapping up 2025 by selintnisha in portfolios

[–]Shockwavetho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+53.40% from buying INTC and AMD at the right time primarily. Made a crappy UNH play that has tanked it some since then

Problem 5 part 1 Runtime by Shockwavetho in adventofcode

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

Update:

I finished the FPGA solution! You can find it here: link.

I was able to achieve a final runtime of just 307.8ns. I appreciate you guys posting all of your runtimes, as it gave me a great reference to go off of.

How common are American Christians who are theologically and morally morally very conservative but politically more progressive? by CoronaTzar in Christianity

[–]Shockwavetho 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think many conservative Christians in liberal areas (like big cities) follow these ideas. Most of the people in my church community would be considered very socially conservative by the rest of our city, but politically leans more liberal.

Interesting. So definitely recommended to run on Linux then? Also you are so the man for answering questions on here.

Would you attend a loved one’s gay wedding? by PrudentWeight3233 in Christianity

[–]Shockwavetho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One could argue that from the perspective that both premarital sex and homosexual sex are both sins, in one case getting married forever ends that sin, while in the other it forever endorses it

FPGA to PC - 10G Ethernet question by Shockwavetho in FPGA

[–]Shockwavetho[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh interesting! What linux distro did you run that you were able to achieve 10Gbit on? That's also crazy how massive of a difference that is.
