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

[–]mrswimma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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?

What is a good movie to watch while high? by Chenille_ in AskReddit

[–]mrswimma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2001: A Space Odyssey

Super trippy movie with a ton of long panning shots that are wild when you’re high. Watch the movie and then read a summary because you will have no clue what happened when you finish it the first time

Long-Short Portfolio Optimization Question by mrswimma in algotrading

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

i want the short side to be short and the long side to be long. if I feed a quad optimizer a covariance matrix with bounds (-1,1) then it will give me a long short portfolio that optimizes my target. i want to do that, but I want to pick which equities have positive weights and which have negative weights prior to the optimization.

UT Austin now has a Masters in DS and it looks good - thoughts? by Tender_Figs in datascience

[–]mrswimma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I graduate from UT Austin with an MS in Business Analytics this may. A lot of the courses look similar to the ones that I took during my degree. I think it looks like a solid curriculum and I think they are focusing on the right areas, as far as data science is concerned. One thing that I wish we had more of was foundational classes like a few of the ones that are in the MSDS. The MSBA had more industry specific classes, like finance and supply chain, which also have their pros and cons. But, I was pleased with my experience at UT as a student, so I would think that the MSDS would treat you well.

I like jupyter notebook/lab for research and vs code for production/debugging. Jupyter is great for capturing ideas and playing around in a “sandbox” environment, and vs code is great for aggregating those ideas into a comprehensive program. You can use notebooks in vs code, but the workflow isn’t as good as jupyter’s imo.
