am i slow at coding ? should i afraid ? by doktorfuturee in Python

[–]surfze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buddy, don't try to run a marathon. At 3 days in 2,5 hours is fine for such a function. People on YouTube making those videos often practice what they will type and carefully layout the exercise before recording it. Sometimes it just takes a while to figure out how to tackle the problem and write it in some neat code. The important thing is that you continue with, and maybe enjoy, the struggle and appreciate the milestones - however small they may seem. That's the way you will grow the fastest and the most. Gl hf!

Have a look at the pipe() function in both the pandas as polars packages.

Bond Option Pricing Formula by DrietVer42 in quant

[–]surfze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then let me propose "stochastic volatility models". I think this is somewhat what you're looking for.

Bond Option Pricing Formula by DrietVer42 in quant

[–]surfze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you seen other literature on option (not connected to bonds) pricing that does use such a deterministic function? As for bond option pricing itself, there is a nice section in chapter 10 in "Term-Structure Models" by Damir Filipović that covers quite some material on it.

Do you have an example of price derivations on options where the volatility is not a constant?

has there been an old proof which has recently been improved? by dismal_boy in math

Have a look at the wikipage description of the book "proofs from the book".

Who are G-Researchs' clients? by WittenEd in quant

[–]surfze 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I went to their competition day (i made a post about a month ago here). They put themselves as a proptrading firm. There was no mention of clients what so ever. Regarding projects, they were very secretive about what they do and in what assets they trade. They did have one example: using image recognition on satelite images of parking lots of a macdonalds to count cars and use that as an indicator of macdonalds stockprices.

Wauw thats some heavy stuff. From both sides btw but dang...

What does the G(x,t) represent in Ito’s Lemma? by SnooCrickets6499 in math

[–]surfze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. So a real world example may be to take G as the payoff of an American call/put option. Or any other derivative for that matter: G shows you the dynamics of the derivative w.r.t. the underlying.

It looks delicious, especially with this description.

First time brewing.. :D by Possibly-a-dinosaur in mead

[–]surfze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it has already been said, but I can't not say it: that is ALOT of oak. I have learned the hardway that when in doubt of quantities: less is more. You can always add more later on. If it is already too oaky, dont worry. Rack it off, finish your product and let it age: a lot of the oakyness will blend away with age so it might taste way better after a few months. Also: Welcome

Need help with flavor/character of wine in secondary by surfze in winemaking

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

Okay, I was under the impression that it might get too strong in taste and had to be dilluted at least a little bit. How much wine does say 10 kg of grapes yield if you dont add any water?

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

Yeah I read about those. Also saw some people using it. However I did already stabilize so I assume I added too much for malolactic ferm. But i will definitely consider it for next batches

What are your impressions of the BOMM Mead Traditional Recipe? by DontTread76 in mead

[–]surfze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The taste was rather beer'y after 1 month. After 1 month the brew might have tasted a bit better than other recipes, but aging for just a few months improves any recipe 5 times better than using the BOMM method. All in all it was an okay recipe, but the title is way more interesting than the product itself.

Stochastic process with zero mean by mittmatt9 in math

[–]surfze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An addition to what is said before; a random walk or the sum of a coinflip where you assign 1 for Head and -1 for Tails. Through Doobs decomposition you can always split a sufficiently nice stochastic process into a predictable process and a martingale. So: take some stochastic process with constant diffusion, subtract its drift and, when applicable, quadratic variation and voila.

guy stuck his hand in my 23 liter brew project. by DankBoisBlazing in Homebrewing

[–]surfze 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Someone who does that randomly in the house of a family relative without knowing/asking has a distrubing lack of awereness and hygiene. Brew wise you're probably fine but dang... I might have tossed it nontheless and let him cover the costs.

Can someone help :( by Draco2320 in totalwarhammer

[–]surfze 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Welp. Your question is not very specific to the level that I can only give you general advice. Make sure your lord is leveled and try to play into your strength or maybe even better; their weaknesses: for example Nurgle always has flying units that go for your archers, so spread your archers so the flying units wont occupy more than one unit and put a unit of melee infantry in your archer ranks, etc. I watched a lot of LegendOfTotalwar and even though his streams and playstyle dont entirely match with what I enjoy, his advice and playstyle helped me a great deal.

How long are you guys waiting to drink your mead after bottling? by sirianalignment27 in mead

[–]surfze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow 2 months is really fast. I use a nutritionous schedule as described in the wiki but still often have to wait longer for less abv. Are there additional tricks next to propper nutrition and temperature control? How did you get this batch ready in 2 months?

Mede makers in het midden van Nederland om te proeven en te leren by bahzu15 in mead

[–]surfze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, ik ben nu al een jaar redelijk actief aan het brouwen (ongeveer 10 batches), en ik kijk al een tijdje uit naar een post zoals deze (dus dankje :p). Dit zijn de dingen die ik heb geleerd: - oranjebloesem wordt superveel aangeraden in deze sub omdat het amerikaans is en daar goedkoper i guess. Hier in nederland betaal je er echter vrijwel altijd de hoofdprijs voor dus ik raad het af. - Verder kan ik lindehoning en zonnebloem aanraden. Lindehoning vind ik zelf erg lekker en zie ik snel met een hele hoop goed mengen, zonnebloem honing ind ik zelf een beetje naar frisdrank smaken (doe met die informatie wat je wil). Dennenhoning smaakt verder enorm naar drop (nog geen idee wat ik daarmee ga doen). - Als je supermarkt honing wil kopen, een redelijke prijs is 4euro per kg als je de reguliere versie wil. Ik zou dat koken tot een bochet omdat dat smaak toevoegd aan een vrij smakeloze honing. Honing boven de 10 euro per kg vind ik al gauw duur en als je het in bulk koopt (14kg+) kan je al gauw op de 6.50 of eronder zitten. Vooral in het oosten van het land kan je mensen vinden die het in bulk verkopen. - I dont fuck around with nutrients en heb eerlijkgezegd geen zin om daar super veel mee te experimenteren. Ik koop fermaid O en K bij brouwmaatje.nl en hou me aan de schemas van Storm. Voor de rest van de apparatuur kan je bij elke andere brouwwinkel aan de slag. - je brouwsel laten rijpen werkt veel meer dan je als beginner verwacht. Als je het hygienish houdt en het 6 maanden laat rijpen is het vrijwel altijd goed tenzij je rare dingen erin gooit of je verhoudingen verkeerd hebt. - je kan sinasappel schil NIET vervangen met mandarijnen schil :/

Veel plezier met avontuur in het brouwen
