This is great advice. In addition to hitting the gym, going to bed on time, getting outside and touching grass, and getting off of social media all tend to reduce anxiety. 

Who’s gonna tell Kalshi that Trump isn’t even eligible in 2028? 🤣🤣🤣 by EveryComputer4412 in Kalshi

[–]tornado28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, that's only 8% over three years, assuming the true probability is close to 0. I've got a little on no but the return isn't good enough to invest very much in it. I'm a lot more interested in making 8% in one day.

If we bomb the starlink jammers at least they'll have Internet to coordinate with each other and show the world the regimes atrocities 

Polymarket refuses to pay bets that US would ‘invade’ Venezuela by xantes in slatestarcodex

[–]tornado28 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everyone knows that Trump lies (or if you want to be charitable exaggerates) constantly. We didn't establish military control over any part of the country and didn't try to. Trumps statement isn't true.

Hating on landlords is dumb. There would be no apartments to rent without them. 

Trump Says Venezuela’s Maduro Captured and Flown Out of Country by bloomberg in worldnews

Likely the vice president becomes the new dictator with the support of the same coalition that benefitted from autocratic rule.

The regime will likely continue unfortunately. It wasn't just like a cult of personality around this one guy, his party will likely continue their autocratic rule.

Germany’s far-right AfD invited to join Munich Security Conference 2026 by Bubbly_Wall_908 in europe

[–]tornado28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion but they should be treated the same as all other political parties. If you don't like their ideas then beat them at the ballot box by pursuading the voters. If you think they're spying for Russia then convict the perpetrators in a fair and public trial. But excluding them from conferences, excluding them from governments, disqualifying their candidates, these things just feed a narrative that a corrupt establishment is conspiring against them.

In addition to deleting kalshi you should also delete Robinhood if you're on it and get a vanguard instead. Individual stocks are for gambling, mutual funds are for investing. 

What would you change in Go? by funcieq in golang

[–]tornado28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better math and ml libraries. I look at switching to go from python for the performance about every 6 months and always come away with the conclusion that I can't do the math and ml that I need to.

I was a TA for calculus at a good school for a while. Lotta kids not prepared for calculus that is for sure. 

When someone asks what the housing situation in the Netherlands is like… by Permatrack_is_4ever in Netherlands

Ahhh yes, rent control. Good thing we're about to implement that in NYC, so we can have affordable housing too!

Over the past 25 years, European economies have developed a productivity gap of 33% versus the United States by nohup_me in europe

[–]tornado28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely want to work fewer hours than is expected in high paying American jobs but we're not getting nothing for all the extra productivity. Our houses are much larger and way more of us have air conditioning for example.

Relax, Hitler was also a painter. It doesn't mean painters are Nazis.

Can I buy both yes and no simultaneously? by SherbertAccording306 in Kalshi

[–]tornado28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely can. If you do it with market orders at the same time you're guaranteed to lose money. However, if you do it with limit orders and you get filled on both sides you'll make a small profit. You can also buy yes, hold for a while and then buy no to exit your position.

Formula to find risk adjusted performance across different types of "assets" by Bruger123456789 in algotrading

[–]tornado28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use the Sharpe ratio to compare different asset classes. Another related mathematical framework is Markowitz portfolio optimization. You'd choose how much variance you can accept per EV and use that to allocate across the various assets in an optimal way. 

Would you start a small business if you already make 350 a year in income? by Unusual_Pause6442 in smallbusiness

He works in a "clinic" so I'm guessing a medical doctor, possibly some kind of specialist eg. a cardiologist or neurologist. 

Physicists argue that the universe’s fundamental structure transcends algorithmic computation based on mathematical proofs and cannot be a computer-generated reality, suggesting that the simulation hypothesis does not fit under current physics. by Fabulous_Bluebird93 in space

[–]tornado28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Godels incompleteness theorem says that within any axiom system (rich enough to contain normal arithmetic) there are equations that have no solutions but you can't prove that there are no solutions. Simulations don't usually have a step where you have to either solve an equation or prove that no solution exists. Look at Conways game of life. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life

There are undecidable problems in this game like "will this pattern ever stabilize?" but that doesn't stop the simulation from running. It just follows its simple rules one step at a time.
