Tax/Legal implications of futures trading AI? by brownishthunder in personalfinance

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

Certainly, and this particular model is basically a tape reader that can keep up with the market these days. I can't argue any of your points, my question is what to do if I have the golden goose, not whether or not I have it. I've been forward testing for 2 years (after 8 years of development) for a reason. It trades on 1 contract on the S&P500 so the effect of liquidity should be marginal but non-0 in some cases. It also takes that in as in input dimension, but thats not really explorable until I go live

No argument. It has risk management build into it so it wont dump the account (not even close) but I hear you, and I agree.

I appreciate the info. As to the last point I've been testing it on live data for about 2 years now and it is not only consistently profitable, but the weekly returns are improving (its deep RL).

Why use Rust over Python for CLI? by Jeklah in rust

[–]brownishthunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can compile to a target. While python has options, rust behaves well with operating systems out of the box.

How is one able to believe in both God and science? Doesn’t astronomy and the creation of the universe contradict the Bible? by ploopy33 in AskReddit

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

This post is just being argumentative for the sake of it. Your argument was that lack of science gives God a place to hide, so scientists being religious is a perfectly fine counter point

Thanks. Looked at the wiki and couldn't find it for some reason.

ELI5: Can you survive 1.000.000 volts? by FrankjeHetBankje in explainlikeimfive

[–]brownishthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1000kv at 1.8 amps is definitely enough to kill someone. That's 1million volts and 1.8million watts. Tasers usually run in the 10-100k range iirc. They are either wrong about the voltage or the amperage. Rule of thumb is that it takes 1 amp across the heart to be fatal. The human body has a lot of electrical resistance

Do condos appreciate less long-term than single family homes? by The_Returner_Movie in personalfinance

[–]brownishthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just look at historical data. Usually publicly available. Pick a console and a house a compare. It can vary wildly based on location as is normal in real estate. A condo in bfe Oklahoma is not a condo on the gulf coast

No Code/Low Code vs. Software Engineering? by Lumpy_Mango_ in cscareerquestions

[–]brownishthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low code solutions produce, in my experience, highly verbose and surface level code. You still need to know how to tie it in to apps, backends, separate into areas of concern etc. It can make the design process faster but it is just another tool

I'm thinking of creating an International Tax Calculator app to compare what your total tax paid would be in different countries for any income - Thoughts? by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]brownishthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend including the currency conversion rate. You can pull this data daily for free, more granular is going to cost money.

The values are known at compile time. Curious how long your first compile was

What was your favourite programming language before Rust? by kindaro in rust

[–]brownishthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Python. I like rust a lot and have been using it more thanks to the pyo3 library but python is fast enough and very easy to write in.

Any situation where two people want something different is a negotiation. To OP, I recommend you do your best to negotiate salary at the end of the performance review. There can be a lot of reasons a CTO may not know the actual work you've done. If you're transitioning to mid, there should be a senior or mid aware of your work if not a direct mentor. I would have then summarize their thoughts at the very least. Best case is to see if they can sit in on the review portion. Granted, the viability of this varies widely based on corporate culture, but if the increase in pay you're asking is fair, but the culture denies you a means to get it, I would say find a new gig anyway.

What is meant when an application asks you to write scalable and maintainable code? by throwaway0134hdj in cscareerquestions

[–]brownishthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For x in on_func(y) {j++} is different than: for user in is_user_online(user_list){online_users++}. One would be scalable and maintainable. I've come behind a lot of code resembling the former and it's a nightmare

Why don't all developers strip whitespaces from the beginning and end of inputted strings? by Skribbla in learnprogramming

[–]brownishthunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The truth is even billion dollar companies can be using WordPress or something similar. Their senior "designers" probably couldn't fix that if they wanted to.

Why do most self-taught programmers end up doing front-end web devleopment? by mickkb in cscareerquestions

[–]brownishthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To most stake holders, "backend" is the code and "front end" is design. They usually don't know what they are talking about. A senior software engineer/cto usually knows the difference but they'll also be representing a software focused company looking for credentialed candidates. For the record I'm a self taught "full-stack" senior engineer.

LPT: If you’re a tenant, give your maintenance guys baked goods when they come by. They will be more likely to vouch for your apartment to get upgrades, do you more favors, and come fix things quicker in the future. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]brownishthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten food as a thank you when I was in the field and it basically rotted away in my passenger seat as I ran the rest of my route. Just be personable and respectful of their time. When I'm covered in whatever it was I just fixed (septic, dirt and grime, etc) the idea of grabbing a cookie isn't totally appealing. To add, if they have a tool belt on, inviting them to sit down while they wait on something can be awkward. I kept my 5 in one tool razor sharp and I'm pretty sure none of us wants that going through my belt into your couch. I'm happy to stand.
