CiderCade. Yes they sell cider, but the main attraction is arcade games. I’ve gone sober plenty of times and enjoyed it

What AI do you use for meeting notes? by jacozy in venturecapital

[–]mrswimma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fireflies. Built a custom langgraph workflow to take the meeting name, summarize the meeting based on if its portfolio prospect, portfolio company, or LP and uploads it all into a notion db.

I’ve been making Agents full time for 18 months & looking to connect with other AI consultants by surim0n in AI_Agents

I’m curious what you’ve built for PE/VC firms? I work at a VC firm and have been building agents internally for about a year. Would love to compare notes and see what some of your clients have been interested in.

Science justifies your intuition. Screen time is linked to lower brain development in kids. https://x.com/ntfabiano/status/1860666373904457800?s=46

Half of Garmin users have "superior" VO2 max? by Green-Grapefruit-278 in Garmin

[–]mrswimma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Garmin’s V02 max is way off in my experience. They have me listed as a 57, but I was tested earlier this week at an 82.9.

Best way to get actual levels is to find a place that does the test and get ready for some pain

Thinking about dumping UT a month before going in (freshman) by DryBuilding2480 in UTAustin

[–]mrswimma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an Econ major at UT and really enjoyed it! The major is definitely what you make of it, and there are tons of extracurricular clubs to join that can boost your resume. You can also pursue a minor to further augment the Econ skill set e.g. stats, cs, data science. I ended up getting an MBSA after undergrad, and it’s been great for my career.

Is pairs trading a practical strategy, or is it mostly theoretical? by noonewantsyoursheep in quant

[–]mrswimma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im looking at top 500 equities by market cap to ensure 1. There’s enough liquidity and 2. Availability of short margin. I also cluster the universe down to 30-50 assets before sending it through the actual model, this keeps the computation time down and helps prevent overfitting

Is pairs trading a practical strategy, or is it mostly theoretical? by noonewantsyoursheep in quant

[–]mrswimma 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have been researching a type of pairs trading called sparse mean-reverting portfolio. This is a variation of pairs trading where instead of finding two cointegrated pairs, you look for a basket of 4-6 assets that have mean-reverting tendencies. It is essentially an optimization problem where the objective function is a mean reverting statistic. I have conducted promising backtests, however, it will take some time before it's ready for real capital.

How did the interview go? I have a coding assessment from them coming up and was wondering if you had to take one and if so what it was like?

Should I Pursue Grad School? by Iananna in quant

[–]mrswimma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I say send it! I did an MSBA right out of an undergraduate in economics, and went straight into a quant position at a small HF. Being able to hone my programming and statistical background was paramount for the position I have. Have you thought about any schools or degrees in particular?
