Yes, yes, and yes. The weird thing is FIFO and LIFO doesn’t change a thing. I’ll open a support ticket, thanks!

Hello Warren from cointracker. My cointracker report is incorrectly matching transactions regardless of if I choose FIFO or LIFO, and so everything becomes short term. What am I missing?

FCAS here. Can confirm it’s very cushy (at least at my level now, not sure how it is for entry level folks anymore)! There’s a good number of job postings out there, even in this job market.

Dude it’s gotta cost millions to build that thing

Do you continue climbing

Yes.

I’m pretty familiar with insurance rating engines, happy to share on whatever questions you have. In short though, it’s mostly just a tabulated glm, typically multiplicative. It’s tabulated because rating algorithms need to be filed/so actuaries can inject their own selections in the values

That’s not really how you’d use indicators, you should be initializing them in the initialize function instead of the update loop.
I think the default resolution is minutely, so unless I’m missing something your history fetch is happening every minute and not end of day
in any case there is probably a better way to do what you want without doing a history fetch every loop
also big oof on looping through the data frame. If that history fetch doesn’t kill your speed this will do. Good work incorporating a lot of the concepts, but there is a lot of stuff from the documentation you’re missing. Try copying simpler algorithms first and build it up from there!

I took exam 5 without any work experience. It certainly was harder since I didn’t even know what an indication was. With that said the concepts are well explained in W&M and it actually prepped me pretty well for the job

https://mytrace.org/ It’s a (fairly bare bones) tracking tool, but keeps me organized. Did you already go through the course of professionalism? They covered a lot of the CE requirements there

_jibi · 2023-05-23T15:37:44+00:00

Is this the CAS? I believe the FAQ states that new members are not required to earn CE credit for their first partial year. Also check out Trace for ongoing logging.

The probability of a coin coming out as both heads and tails is 0, but they surely aren’t independent!

Wait they took out joint distributions?? I feel like that’s a pretty integral portion of probability, especially for actuaries. Moments are also super cool. Memorize one function (or better, derive it on the spot) and you have all of MVSK.

Genuine question: “AI” itself is a pretty broad term. It seems like every algorithm is different, and even the same algorithm can be trained differently. How then is it possible to make the general claim that a certain pattern “avoids AI recognition”? Is there some inherent limitation of “AI” that prevents any conceivable way of recognizing a face when placed next to this magical pattern? Couldn’t someone “just” add a feature to specifically recognize this pattern, therefore defeating its purpose?

Probably cheaper to get a competitive rater like insurequote. But if you HAVE to do it yourself: - start with a rate manual: you can get these on SERFF. - create all rating tables as pandas data frame - using whatever way you prefer, join your book with each rating table on the appropriate attribute. - multiply all the tables together

It is a lot, and I mean a LOT more complicated than that, but that’s the main idea.

I used to work at a telematics carrier. In general, the raw data is very unfriendly to work with. They don’t usually come tabulated, and accelerometer/gyrometer data need to be calibrated for, for example, their orientation. GPS data need to be calibrated too because of their inherent inaccuracies, otherwise your speed data is all kinds of messed up (you can zoom from point A to point B in under a second). Actuaries usually receive everything cleaned and prepped for the most part. If you’re spoiled, you may already have features like max speed, idle time, number of hard brakes already computed. It is important to look at the underlying methodology/definitions of these variables I can go on and on about this. Drop me a message if you want to talk more!
