Data structures is where I learned how to write test code. It was the best way to actually get the algorithms correct. If we had git back then.. I remember one bug that took 6 hours to find, finally found it at 8am before the 10am class. Wa

Git would have been helpful to me in my very first intro to programming course. It fixes those situations of: "arg, I changed one thing - it no longer works, and I'm not even sure anymore what that one thing was!" Second, a s

VCS is something that is interacted with multiple times a day in any codebase. It is a basic tool, not too far apart from being able to traverse a file system. The next step after viewing files, is being able to commit to and view the histo

Indeed, I agree. That "actually incredibly good advice" was more a case of a broken clock being correct than anything else IMO. Nonetheless, buying anything over AMC or GME at the time were good moves. The advice to not buy garbag

Interesting! First response from Chat GPT is not bad. The decision of a long leg that is ATM or ITM and short leg OTM is interesting. Both strikes could easily be chosen to be OTM, the location of the strikes is really based on personal con

I'm curious about: alpha go, Watson, and the AI that "conquered" chess. Are those outliers, or part of a larger story? It feels to me a contemporary history of AI would mention those milestones.

For anyone with Chat GPT - I would be curious what it would say if asked: - I want a bearish trade strategy with bounded max loss and a profit or loss realization time frame of approximately 6 to 12 months. Do not consider stop losses as a

Answering the question most directly, of what strategy would you want given a thesis that we are at peak AI. I do like thinking about the greeks [1] when designing a position. First, let's clarify, we want to take advantage of price dr

I'm glad you found some value. I spent a bit too long on Reddit to really want to give a lot more investment tutorials anymore though. I'll entertain doing so at an hourly rate to teach you all about it though! (slightly tongue in

If we ignore air resistance, then weight and time are the only variables needed to determine the power needed for a given acceleration. Force is related to mass through "F=ma", and power is effectively force over time. Though, neg

While a heavier vehicle at times needs more energy - trains are a counter example to consider. Magnitudes heavier, but do not need magnitudes more fuel. Which comes to Newton's laws of motion, the two concepts of inertia and Newton&#x2

Last thought, when others disagree with me - I do spend a bit more time on the subject to double check my thinking and to assess their opinion in greater detail. Finding places where oneself was incorrect is a good way to grow. Unfortunatel

Not triggered, just pointing out anecdata. Your previous statements were unsupported. The reference I cited gave some examples of how those statements were inaccurate.

Burden of proof is for you to find specific examples, quote them, link them, then find data that those items did not come to pass. Following that, find more quotes that are similar, enough so that it's a persistent and significant perc
