@BuzzMista @rubencristiano9 @atrupar I’m pretty sure they would actually just refer to it in terms of gross and net.
We had a gross return of 400%, the net return was 110%.
Or we had a return of 400% in Q1, but a loss of 72% in Q2 leading to a half year return of 110%.
English

@bigbadabeam @rubencristiano9 @atrupar Give-back: Common in investor meetings. "We had a 400% return on paper, but due to market shifts, we had a 290% give-back."
English

@BuzzMista @rubencristiano9 @atrupar You are correct. One is a 50% reduction, one is a 50% increase
The 50% reduction is 50% of the original price, the 50% increase is 150% of the original price.
It always refers to the new amounts % of the initial figure.
So a reduction can never be over 100%
English

@bigbadabeam @rubencristiano9 @atrupar Depends on how you use percentages. New price is 50% of what it was is not the same as saying the price increased by 50%.
English

@BuzzMista @rubencristiano9 @atrupar And in saying they you would be both factually wrong, and much less clear in your intent.
It reduced by 99%, by saying that you can easily work out that $10 x 100 was the price before reduction.
No matter what trump or RFK want to think, percentages just don’t work that way.
English

@bigbadabeam @rubencristiano9 @atrupar Yeah you can, you can use figure of speech. But you should include the price it recently rose by, "it went down 9900% from a previous increase of 10 000%" meaning it is now up 100%
English

@BuzzMista @rubencristiano9 @atrupar Yep they are correct it’s down 99% from the previous price.
But the customer could also say it’s 100% of the original price, disregarding the increase.
What they can’t say is that it’s down 9900%
English

@bigbadabeam @rubencristiano9 @atrupar Ok, so if a store puts up a t shirt from 10$, to 1000$, a day before black friday. They put up a sign saying it's down 99% now and costs only 10$... They are right aren't they. People look at that sign, wow, down 99% that's so mathmatically correct ill buy it.
English

@BuzzMista @rubencristiano9 @atrupar No, it’s an incorrect application of mathematics used to try and exaggerate a political point.
English

@BuzzMista @rubencristiano9 @atrupar You can’t because 590% of 600% is 354k%
If a price goes up the % is over 100%, if it goes down it’s under. It’s per cent, it’s always of 100, and 100% is always the starting figure. If the price went from 600 to 100 600 is the starting figure.
English

@bigbadabeam @rubencristiano9 @atrupar You can also say "The new price is 600% of what it was" and all of a sudden "The price went down 590% of those 600% so now it's back to 110$ again".
English

@rubencristiano9 @atrupar If the reduction was 600% the price would be -$3600, meaning you would be paid $3000 to take the item.
English

@rubencristiano9 @atrupar It is standardised. Percent means “out of every 100”
So if the price is $100, 1 out of every 100 is 1.
If the price is $600, 1 out of every 100 is 6.
If the price drops from $600 to $100 1% is $6, 6 goes into 500 83.3 times so it’s an 83.3 % reduction.

@EzeTalksSports @craigmck90 Lennox is a top 5 HW of all time. Beat every man he ever fought, including Tyson, Holyfield, Vitali, Rahman and Ruddock. This is like saying Khan has a better legacy than Mayweather.
English

@craigmck90 I think AJ legacy is greater anyway, but also remember this is post 2000
English

@EzeTalksSports The fact that the best of the 4 is the one you consider debatable 😂
English

@Jennnyyyyyy I’d guess 44.
Multiply the top 2 numbers then add them both to the result.
English

@lfcmumble @dbrownblade1 Gonna nitpick and say that year 2000 is not this century

@em3dia These would be amazing if it was possible to make proper gravy south of Birmingham.

@NeverSinkDev I think in the short to medium term, people who can blend the right amount of human input with AI help will be the best performers in most fields, so I say use it, if for no other reason than to trial how it can/can’t help.
English

@NeverSinkDev Current form, it more than likely will play a huge role in all computer based roles in the near future.
I’m a video editor, and while I don’t use it often, I do use it for some small jobs that reduces time/effort in a way that doesn’t affect quality negatively….
English

If you're using my Filters or FilterBlade I need to hear your input.
Lets talk about AI boundaries. So far I have avoided AI-usage in the project.
I have a lot of PoE-specific-knowledge, programming and computer-linguistics skills and replacing them with AI is:
- Major downgrade.
- Breaking the trust of the community
- No fun, I like filter-tinkering.
Further: I do NOT intend to work on the actual filter and algorithmic core of my Filter project with AI.
However, I would like to get to hear the community input on using AI in a LIMITED scope in order to:
- Fix performance issues/vulnerabilities
- Writing 'technical' code like Unit Tests (only used to increase the quality)
- Reviewing existing code to look for quality improvements
I've been using AI in my fulltime job and other projects and I think it would provide a benefit.
I'd like to hear the community input.
Do you actually care?
Would you be OK with the plan above?
English

@NUCLRGOLF All of them, but I’d generally use a 48 or 54 depending on conditions and how high/low I wanted to hit it.

@NiceanRick @TukiFromKL Probably worth noting that employers were much smaller in general for boomers, there was much more onus on the workforce being a team headed by a single business owner rather than a collection of replaceable assets employed by a multi billion dollar company.
English

@TukiFromKL Boomers also treated trade work differently (they liked it) and the didn’t go to college and rack up debt. Those things matter. Sure it is much harder now, but it isn’t because boomers are boomers.
People also want their Starbucks and newer iPhone and endless internet…/1

🚨 Do you understand what this actually means..
Gen Z and millennials aren't burnt out because they're weak.. they did the math..
your dad bought a house at 24 on one salary.. a 40-hour week and a pension waiting at the end..
here's what changed..
in 1970 the median home cost 2x the average annual salary.. today it costs 6x.. and that's before the interest rate..
> Boomers graduated with little to no debt into an economy with employer pensions, cheap housing, and a job market that rewarded loyalty..
> Gen Z graduates with $30,000 in student debt into an economy that replaced pensions with 401ks where YOU bear all the risk.. replaced job security with "freelance opportunities".. and replaced affordable housing with a market that requires two incomes just to rent..
the work ethic didn't change.. the math changed..
> Boomers didn't build that economy.. they inherited it.. built by the Greatest Generation after the war, funded by government programs, subsidized housing, public universities, and infrastructure they didn't pay for..
> they rode the boom, extracted everything, gutted the pensions, made the houses unaffordable, defunded the universities..
and then told the next generation to work harder..
Leading Report@LeadingReport
Gen Z and millennials are burnt out because older generations had much easier lives while working far less hard, per FORTUNE.
