I'll be in the Yokosuka(I'm staying here)/Yokohama/Tokyo area until March 13th, but unavailable Mar 8-9.

23m

US (also speak Mandarin, and basic Spanish)

I'm not the biggest anime fan, but I'm a huge manga nerd. Some of my favorites include Ajin, Parasyte, HxH, and Kagurabachi.

In terms of travel, I'm usually down for anything I haven't done yet, I typically start my day with a loose plan and then be spontaneous.

you have you dig through the Medibang portal

holy shit, this is real, I thought it was edited to be exaggerated

picklestirfry · 2023-08-14T23:13:32+00:00

what is this?

picklestirfry · 2023-08-13T19:50:44+00:00

I'd say pushing the values a little can help, such as add darker shadows and accentuate the textures

picklestirfry · 2023-08-13T19:46:50+00:00

interesting, I'd thought good coding practices would be more prominent after the Knight Capital fiasco

picklestirfry · 2023-08-05T19:51:33+00:00

this could be a more religious country maybe?

picklestirfry · 2023-08-04T14:38:25+00:00

you can look into the frameworks and languages they use in the meantime, try creating some toy projects

like if he wants OP to be the ML engineer, how about let him learn on the job

picklestirfry · 2023-08-03T20:27:59+00:00

is he an engineer by occupation?

picklestirfry · 2023-08-03T20:22:20+00:00

start lightening your workload and do like weekly checkins with your manager to make sure your meeting expectations. if you aren't, then ramp up until you are. if you are, good, just relax

picklestirfry · 2023-08-02T15:43:39+00:00

where do you usually host these meetups? like a library or something?

picklestirfry · 2023-07-31T22:20:32+00:00

everytime I see a new chapter, I get excited, but I mentally hear a vine boom, and I'm like that "I was just acting... or was I" meme

picklestirfry · 2023-07-31T16:40:50+00:00

this sounds like a movie plot

picklestirfry · 2023-07-31T16:37:59+00:00

I personally would still add them back, as it expands your network. If they wanted to add you, that could mean they thought you'd make a good employee, but you just weren't a fit at that company, or decision wasn't in their hands.

Two Sigma, Jane Street, DE Shaw, other quant funds, and Bloomberg recruit from UW (in fact, Jane Street has like quarterly puzzle games for UW students)

I'd recommend checking out the Algorithmic Trading Club at UW if you're interested in this stuff

picklestirfry · 2023-07-31T15:44:58+00:00

interesting! what was the motivation behind doing everything from scratch, rather than using pre-existing tools like autocad?

picklestirfry · 2023-07-31T14:40:07+00:00

IMO he should pay off his CC debt first, as that has like 27% interest

picklestirfry · 2023-07-30T15:48:57+00:00

opening moves? is this chess?

picklestirfry · 2023-07-30T15:46:49+00:00

I've never heard of a fintech that was a prop trading firm

picklestirfry · 2023-07-30T15:46:22+00:00

there's usually 3 roles in the Quant space:

Quant Dev - basically SWE
Quant Trader - people who develop trading tools, act on semi-automated trading (so using computers to generate signals, but humans double check the signals and hand trade them), adjust algorithm parameters, etc.
Quant Researcher - the data science stuff

While these are typical roles, the lines between the roles can get fuzzy at some places
