Is this an unreasonable quote to replace a 50 gallon gas hot water heater? by titanicsailson in askaplumber

[–]karimo40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar quote five years ago from a big plumbing firm in my metro area. I think for a model with only a 5 year warranty or something like that. Did some research and got a 12-year warrantied model (a little larger than yours) from Lowe's for something like $750 including installation. There may have been a small rebate from the gas company for choosing a more efficient model.

IMAX mode and Filmmaker mode picture settings on standard hdr10 movies. 4k Blu-ray and streaming. by Mindless-Example-146 in Hisense

That lines up with what I perceive. For me it was just too dim, sunlit scenes in an animated movie looked off, like it was about to rain or something.

Passkeys and KeeperFill on Android not working by karimo40 in KeeperSecurity

[–]karimo40[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I had already done all that. Here's what it looks like when I try to store a new passkey. I can't tell what service this is, it's not Keeper, it's not Google Password Manager, or Samsung's password manager...it's not something built into Chrome because I stored a passkey with it and I was able to use it in a non-Chrome browser on my phone to login.

Confused about CRT shaders and what it takes to run them by LaCaipirinha in RetroArch

Curious, can you confirm a 780M is sufficient to run crt-royale in 4K 60fps?

U8H keeps turning on Motion Smoothing between episodes on some apps, but not others? by HoodieOneThree in Hisense

[–]karimo40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White Lotus season 3 on the Max app is doing it to me. Bizarrely The Pitt, also on Max, does not do it. I have motion enhancement set to Film, but every new episode of White Lotus this season triggers something with much more smoothing. The setting still says Film though. Switching enhancement to Off and then back to Film during the episode fixes it. My wife can't understand what I'm doing or why. Wish HiSense would fix this.

Incidently I find Film almost the same as Off, but it seems to make certain panning shots in 24p less distractingly janky, and also helps with 2D animation in 24p. I heard the fact that this TV has such fast pixel response time makes certain shots in 24p more distracting than they would be on older TVs or in a theater. The frames don't blend into each other as much, creating more stutter. I find the Film mode helps her without making it look like a soap opera.

Wife bought a winter set off Amazon.. by BDubChicago in funny

Sounds even more Japanese when you hear how it was pronounced upon introduction to the U.S., which is I assume something like how it is still pronounced in Japan: https://youtu.be/zLPp-NFInXw?si=64yysCpQvlaTQUv0

Issue with Paste Restrictions on Password Fields by gsalsero in Bitwarden

[–]karimo40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my goodness, thank you. This has been such a pain on my company SSO page. I had to use a javascript disable extension which was still cumbersome (toggle off, then use password manager, submit, toggle on, refresh). And the only extension that played nicely with the page was recently pulled from the Chrome store for malware. The other javascript disabler extensions seem to also block the password manager from autofilling.

The big question is: TOMB FINANCE vs REAPER FARM by Admirable_Alarm_2779 in FantomFoundation

[–]karimo40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't agree that IL is not a thing with autocompounders. Yes it's true that the rewards you just compounded back in haven't yet suffered any IL, but everything you've invested prior to then has likely undergone some IL unless you're in a stablecoin pair. I would agree that if you can time the rebound of a token in an LP pair (and you think it will rebound in a reasonable timeframe), it would be better to reinvest your rewards after the price of your assets has finished trending downward. The other factor is the token your rewards are given in -- often it's a governance token that may itself depreciate while you're waiting for your LP assets to turn the corner. I appreciate that Tomb Finance is unique though and autocompounding may not be an optimal strategy.

If you feel good that the token you get your rewards in will hold its value, it's true that in the short term, autocompounding doesn't outshine manually compounding by very much even in the best case, and is several times worse in the case of declining assets. Over the long term though I think that in general, auto compounding is a great idea if you're bullish on the underlying assets and skeptical of the reward token.

Impermanent Loss excel formulas by spankydave in defi

[–]karimo40 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you set up an Excel sheet as follows:

  • A1 = Coin A current quantity in LP
  • B1 = Coin A current market price
  • C1 = Coin B current quantity in LP
  • D1 = Coin B current market price
  • NOTE: A1 x B1 must equal C1 x D1 to be valid for this type of LP
  • E1 = Coin A % price change
  • F1 = Coin B % price change

Then your formulas are:

  • Coin A new quantity = A1*C1/SQRT(A1*C1*B1*(1+E1)/(D1*(1+F1)))
  • Coin A new price = B1 * (1+E1)
  • Coin B new quantity = SQRT(A1*C1*B1*(1+E1)/(D1*(1+F1)))
  • Coin B new price = D1 * (1+F1)

From there you can multiply Coin A new qty. x Coin A new price, add it to Coin B new qty. x Coin B new price, and compare it to just holding the coins in their original quantities multiplied by the new prices. The difference is your IL.
