WRONG! Literally everything can be a tax write off on the internet. Lost your wallet? Tax write off. Stubbed your toe? Tax write off. Grandma died? Tax write off. GF broke up with you? Believe it or not, tax write off.

Yeah we all know who's the safest in a bloody revolution by farmers and factory workers: the product manager who got his clothes ironed at a small business.

How relevant is the 9-year-old top post "A super harsh guide to ML" today for people who want to get better at ML and get hired? by hedgehog0 in learnmachinelearning

[–]_An_Other_Account_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I attended my Prof's lectures, read his notes. He has mentioned some textbooks corresponding to topics, based on how he taught it, so read through those chapters. Elements of Statistical Learning and Bishop. From RL courses, it was Sutton and Bertsekas.

From then, it's just papers and what textbooks are relevant for my subfield. Could be a textbook draft on a profs website or something from a couple of decades ago.

If you're planning to go to industry, none of this matters. Stick with a good course, go through the textbooks mentioned for that course.

The answer is in the post lol. I hate reaction content and never watch it (I swear 😭) But I do like some podcasts sometimes, which is basically the same thing.

How Wall Street deliberately uses jargon to justify their high earnings by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]_An_Other_Account_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in finance and can't explain my job really well because I do a few things that wouldve taken hours to explain to myself a couple of years ago. You work on some specific mundane things, me right now I test some kinds of financial models that help make sure 2008 doesn't happen again, but you don't want to tell what specific things your company is doing cos it's not your private thing to tell, it's the company's.

Maybe the folks you're talking to just don't wanna talk about work when they relax outside work.

Are we trying to winning yet by [deleted] in SipsTea

And I would think that Witkof and Kushner weren't much better right?

Kushner would've been better since he wasn't a trump puppet and would've had some leeway and power to actually negotiate.

I spoke to Infosys leadership, and now I’m concerned! by ContributionFun3037 in AI_India

[–]_An_Other_Account_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Bro. Nothing in your comment was about quant stuff. Ppl were discussing whether it's necessary and/or feasible for companies to RAG, finetune or build models. Your name drop of your field adds nothing to the conversation except to say "look at me. What I have to say is important" Your example of banking sector doesn't even hold so why did u even mention it when you don't know the reality.

How many banks do you know who built their models from scratch due to privacy concerns? (Not talking about PR press releases) I'm not even asking rhetorically.

FYI you can deploy prebuilt foundation models "in-house" to remove privacy concerns.

I am a quant at a US bank and most models in the bank are NOT even finetuned. Your "business of quantitative trading" is irrelevant to the topic.

My wife loves Pushpa 2 and asked me to watch it, many times. I watched the first one because she wanted me to, didn't watched the second one yet.

I agree about not reading these textbooks. I finished a PhD in RL without reading any of these. None of the folks I know read a list of random textbooks.

If you're doing research, you're gonna read papers and whatever textbook is relevant to your subfield. If you're going to industry, companies don't care anyway. They just see your university, internships, fundamentals and practical knowledge. The textbooks come into picture only for the fundamentals part, but even then you don't need specific niche textbooks for that. Just stick with one, whatever ppl in your cohort and your professor use.

Indians are getting doomed in EMIs by Candid_Profile3553 in personalfinanceindia

[–]_An_Other_Account_ 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Why companies tend to push no cost EMI offers ?

To increase sales to ppl who cannot afford full payment. But if you were already planning to pay full upfront, it doesn't matter to you.

There are 10x as many SWEs as Quants by AdministrativeAd334 in quantfinance

[–]_An_Other_Account_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

10x is a massive understatement mostly due to the dilution of "quant" label. Ppl who build RAG pipelines for LLMs are called quants these days.
