  1. Es ist unfassbar, wie viele compatibility layers man installieren muss, um #Keras in #R zum laufen zu bringen.

    Ich weiß schon, dass manche #Quants #Python nicht mögen, aber c'mon, ich habe gerade ein #JavaSDK installiert, um die #setuptools für den r-Keras-Wrapper aufsetzen zu können. Reeeeeaaaaaly?! 🧐

  2. I know two brilliant recent graduates in applied #maths, one from Stanford, the other from Harvard. I’ve known them since they were pre-teens. Both of them, for years, had expressed the desire to become #quants. They recently interviewed at Jane Street and both were rejected, not because they lack mathematical sophistication—far from it—but because they lack computational (specifically FP of the OCaml persuasion) skills.

    I accept that the pace of work at Jane Street cannot afford train-up time. In any case, this was a loss on the part of Jane Street.

    It is all for the better, though. In a few years, these two kids would have earned their applied maths PhDs, and would have acquired the requisite computing chops, say in Agda or Lean, and they can dive bomb straight into the senior-level quant role, instead of having to work their way up from the bottom with just an undergraduate diplomas.

  4. A new study confirmed that time can flow in "both" directions.
    So, scientifically, I didn't forget anything. I just don't know yet.
    Right?

  6. @jerry do (diy) index funds of emerging tech to get diversity but also risk management, get another opinion, ask ai with discerning and concerned affect - probably the odd man out esp since it is not real time - that should change eventually. bonds, cds, money mkt funds will not do much for you but could be hedge strategies along with vix. stay away from gamestop #stonks #rip jim simons #quants

  10. my other rant is about ai and how great it is but also at the same time how pathetic it is - real time ai will totally change the game and it needs to happen #trends #mkt sentiment #latest news #quants

  13. any #quants / #mathematicians familiar with #VPIN ? ref: quantresearch.org/VPIN.pdf
    It's literally a splash of #bayesian probability along with other stuff. Super interesting read for me so far.

    Interestingly, I apply these principles without having known they existed intuitively, so this is a fun read.
