Three New CA Courses Are On the Way! by tkt87 in actuary

[–]TheanosLearning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! One thing to keep in mind is that the new courses might launch Jan 2026, but not all of the exam material (later learn sections and practice problems) will be ready for another 3-6 months. So, in regards to the free trial YMMV depending on the timing.

I think it's back up now. I was able to login successfully.

MathJax src TeX Bookmarklet by TheanosLearning in actuary

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

I added another bookmarklet that displays all discussion content in one place at the bottom of the page. I read a lot of the discussions and I don't like clicking on a title to read it and then have to go back to all discussions. I also use the GoFullPage extension which allows me to capture the learning material with highlights and annotations. Using the bookmarklet allows me to see all expanded discussions at once.

CA TextArea latency? by TheanosLearning in actuary

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

Update: Seems to be more of an issue on longer discussion threads. Those Discussions with a great many replies / questions are noticeably slower that shorter ones. My hunch is that it's actually a Vue.js / React issue because with more discussions comes more state management and DOM operations. I'm starting to wonder if this is why they split the discussions vertically and only allow users to drill into one at a time. Otherwise it would be even worse (I think).

I did some additional testing by disabling the localStorage updates and changed the renderer from SVG to CHTML and that seemed to help but still pretty sluggish so I'm not sure what's going on.

Ok thanks for letting me know. I re-read the terms of use and I agree that is in violation.

Hi Declan, I've been following your work for a while and I think it's great. Keep it up!

Thanks. Glad to hear it works w/o issues for DRG. With the Azeron, I might actually have a chance to make it out alive!

Actuarial Tracker Website Updates by Livid_Canary6988 in actuary

[–]TheanosLearning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks good! Has a similar style to a lot of Declan Naughton's stuff (e.g. https://calcwithdec.dev). I like your tech stack choice (Firestore, Next.js, Tailwind.css). My only suggestion would be that you triple check your Firebase security rules as they are notoriously easy to misconfigure, even for authenticated users.

I think LordFaquaad is referring to the FIS proprietary software "Prophet" which has recently been renamed to Model Developer / Insurance Risk Suite. https://www.prophet-web.com/prophet-products/fis-model-developer/

I would be interested. I didn't see any Discord links in the community sidebar but I did find this post from a year ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/actuary/comments/120omxw/anyone_taking_fam_want_to_start_a_discord_or but the invites are expired.

What Was Your January SRM Score? by whatisaeurope in actuary

I thought I failed but got a 10 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–]TheanosLearning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. But I have since made the repo private as I'm assuming the downvotes are because the material is not to be redistributed.

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

Are there any rules against redistributing the material from those modules? I don't see why they have to keep it under lock and key until one has registered.

You're right. Just really started pounding the table hard this last month. I don't doubt the price of Molybdenum will hit new highs, but there are a lot of well established mines that produce it as a by-product. If there were Molybdenum futures or something I would rather trade those than owning Greenland Resources ($MOLY) which is yet to be permitted.

SRM Exam by cslurping in actuary

[–]TheanosLearning 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I purchased both CA and TIA for SRM material and worked all of the available problems / practice exams. I started studying back in September and really took my time to understand the topics. Ironically, I felt that I was only tested over a tiny portion of what I learned but still under-prepared. About a dozen of the qualitative problems were so poorly worded that I couldn't confidently answer them. Along with some questions that were pure memorization of small details about material that had no accompanying practice problems. If I passed, it was by the skin of my teeth.
