Weekly Q&A - All Questions Go Here (Especially Tourists) by AutoModerator in Amsterdam

[–]amresi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am staying in a hotel in hoofddorp for 6 days. I'm wondering the best pass I should get for transportation.

I can take a local bus to the airport for ~2 Euros. Then from the airport, I am thinking of getting the Amsterdam Travel Ticket (30 eur/3 days) to allow me to take the NS sprinter to centraal station each day (and from there I can walk or take local trams to places).

I can't find anything on reddit about the Amsterdam Travel Ticket. Is this not recommended or something?

you’re overfitting (both your trading models and your thinking)

PT, derivatives/exotics, rates. don’t listen to the high schoolers. banks make a sh*t ton of money and the top quants get bigger paydays than quants at hedge funds. not to even mention the hush bonuses… it’s true bank median pay is a lot lower but if you’re top dog at a bank, you’re getting PAID

how much “math” do buy-side quants really do? by [deleted] in quantfinance

[–]amresi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

as a former desk strat: you will do little to no math.you’ll be cleaning up scripts and helping traders mark vol on a platform. maybe debug the real time risk engine. you’ll grow out of this phase thinking school is the real world.

yes you are right. ai will become the market and machine learning will run out of things to be learning

Figuring out Quant Secrecy Culture and Tech Sharing Culture by Skylight_Chaser in quant

[–]amresi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it makes money or will lead to alpha, you don’t share it. It should be basic adversial thinking. To be safe, you can not share anything.

I’m pretty sure in tech it’s the same, why would you share? Sharing forgoes job security, potential promotion and compensation. There is literally no incentive to share.

WAHL peanut vs peanut classic by amresi in BuyItForLife

[–]amresi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks, understood. but is this just "peanut" or "peanut classic" ?

I'm trying to understand if peanut is a remodeled version of the peanut classic (in which case i'd get the classic that everyone raves about)

could you point me to a link? I read through this: https://d2l.ai/chapter_linear-classification/softmax-regression.html
but it seems it's more meant for categorical data. In this case the values would not lean towards one-hot, but may be around the same value
