@JamesWilbur @VertigoWarrior This is the type of tweet that gives bad rep to Christians. I only agree with your first sentence and that’s about it. The rest is unwise, inconsiderate and theologically inaccurate

@VertigoWarrior God works in mysterious ways. All who have rejected God the Father, and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ will see trying and painful times. No one desires to see pain and death in the world, but mankind have made their destiny apparent.

Here's my philosophy/approach for teaching math to my kids.
I. The Problem with Current Math Curricula
1. Failing to Support All Students
In most math programs, some kids grasp the basic skills quickly and do well, while others struggle and fall behind. The material often moves too fast and doesn't provide enough repetition for those who need it. There's also a lack of "sweet spot" learning, where the material is matched to the child's current level. As a result, many kids end up struggling with concepts that are too hard for them.
2. The Consequences of a Weak Foundation
Math is a subject where new skills and knowledge build upon what you've previously learned. If you don't have a good foundation, everything that comes later will be more difficult. Kids who fall behind in math often feel frustrated and like they're not good at the subject. This feeling can persist for years as math continues to get harder. Falling behind in math can also affect a child's self-esteem, especially when they compare themselves to others in the classroom.
II. The Solution
1. Focusing on the Basics
The core of math skills comes down to addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division. If you can master these basics, you'll be able to layer on more advanced skills later on. For example, you should be able to answer 7+8, 9+7, or 11+13 within a second or two for addition. For multiplication, you should know 7x8, 9x9, 6x7, and 11x12 just as quickly. These basic skills should become second nature, so you don't even have to think about them.
2. Personalized Learning at the Right Level
To help kids succeed, we need to match them with material that's appropriate for their current skill level. If a child is struggling with a problem like 4+8, we should focus on that level and even slightly below it. We can provide a series of equations and problems around the child's level and gradually increase the difficulty as they master and become familiar with the previous level.
3. Progressive Levels and Competency-Based Advancement
An effective math system should have numerous progressive levels, with students tackling one level at a time. Before allowing a student to move on to the next level, their competency should be evaluated to ensure they're ready. This approach ensures that students have a solid grasp of the material before moving on to more challenging concepts.
4. The Role of Daily, Repetitive Practice
The brain learns best with daily, repetitive practice. Just 10-20 minutes of practice each day, focusing on equations and problems at the child's level, can make a big difference. Consistent practice strengthens neural pathways and prepares the child for the next level of difficulty. The more they practice, the more automatic these skills become.
Summary
Math education should focus on developing a strong foundation in basic math skills. It should emphasize repetition and quick recall, aiming for students to answer basic problems within seconds. The material should be designed to be challenging but within the child's "sweet spot," just slightly above their current level. Content should be comprehensible and digestible, encouraging daily practice for a minimum of 10 minutes per day. This will allow the student to continuously building skills one level at a time, creating a robust foundation in basic math skills.

@pakpakchicken What do you think of DFI? Is that still a moonshot for you?

@EmmetPeppers @AUS_TeslaAddict I'd love you to talk more about that individual 🤨
English

Thanks
it’s funny how people like my reasoned thoughts about stuff like this and investing on here, but if I try to post what I think are similarly well reasoned thoughts about what really happened ~2000 years ago with the most influential individual to ever live, which might just be infinitely more important, I get very different responses

I don’t know Sam Altman personally so I really don’t know but this is how I think about it:
1)I do feel that I have a good beat on Elon and Elon calling Sam out repeatedly since they parted ways has been a pink flag.
1a)Elon has also talked up Ilya who apparently is a big part of initiating this ousting of Sam
2)the very sudden board agreement to fire him is another serious pink flag. Those board members are no slouches and wouldn’t agree to the scrutiny they know they’d get without a serious reason/concern IMO
Conclusion: I can excuse 1 pink flag for benefit of the doubt, but 2 major pink flags above signals high probability that something is off with the person.
I can’t know for sure bc I don’t know Sam personally and I’m sure never will,
but I significantly lean towards a relatively high probability that Sam getting ousted from OpenAI is a good thing for humanity given the power he was on the cusp of getting with AGI

@GregDuncan_ @Deepvue Thanks Greg! Do you know if they provide RS rating relative to other companies within the same sector too (not only relative to the whole database)?

@GregDuncan_ Only upwards from here for you with such honest reflection 🥳

I've seen on X that a bunch of people are having career years.
While it would be amazing to sit here and say I've experienced the same –– it isn't the truth.
2023 has been my worst year yet.
I'm still negative YTD after experiencing a 10% equity loss overnight in February.
The worst part?
I made everything back and then some in the rally from April-June, but gave it all back in the days, weeks, and months following.
I can come up with a ton of difference excuses as to why I let this happen –– but the reality is this:
I've been my own worst enemy.
So what needs to change?
In terms of trading specific improvements, the main area of emphasis will be on tighter sell rules.
· 1/3 at 5%
· 1/3 at 10%
· Trailing stop 10EMA on the last 1/3 if we get that far
I will also be focused on initiating the full position right at point of entry, instead of looking to buy a little here, add a little there, and then next thing you know my average price is all f*cked up.
These improvements will be a good start, ensuring I get out of my own way in terms of the X's and O's.
But my issues run deeper than that.
In all honesty, I need to get a handle on my greed.
Every time I have a big up swing, I overstay my welcome.
At the highs of these moves, my focus subconsciously shifts from 'Process Oriented' to 'Squeeze this sh*t for every last cent'.
Feels dumb to write it out, but it's true. Greed gets the best of me as I try to make back what I lost.
(Which, from my experience, is one of the worst possible mindsets to embody in the market.)
So again, what needs to change?
First, my mentality. How I approach the market.
Going forward, there will be less emphasis on:
· Catching every last tick of the move
· Trying to get back to where I was
And more emphasis around:
· Adopting an abundance mindset
· Following my sell rules to a T
· Living with higher lows in EC
The best part is this: after taking a deep and honest look at my results, I've already started making improvements.
If today's gap up would have happened 3 months ago, I'd be adding exposure, letting greed take control of my decision-making.
But instead, I reframed how I viewed today's action.
Less greed, more abundance.
So I sold about 25% of my total exposure into today's gap, ensuring I make a new short-term realized gains EC high & reducing drawdown at the same time.
Feels good to write that out, that's for sure.
Anyways, the main takeaway is this:
The only person you need to compare yourself to is your past self.
We all struggle. And yeah, trading is really hard.
Social media makes it seem like if you aren't hitting account highs every other week you're the worst trader out there.
But at the end of the day, the only person you need to compare yourself to is your past self.
You're your best benchmark.
If you're better today than you were yesterday, a month ago, or even a year ago, you're on the right track.
After all, trading is a long game.
The longer you can focus on incremental improvement, the better you'll be.
So here's your sign to take a deep dive into what's holding you back in the market.
Start by analyzing your trades, but don't be afraid to take a look at what's holding you back psychologically.
Because let's be real –– trading is 99% mental and 1% pressing buttons.
My performance in 2023 is a great representation of that.
Good luck, and if you've read this far thank you for your time!
Hope you found some value and came away with actionable takeaways. 👍

I think my friend @FinallyFoolin understands how my investing strategy works. I appreciate his work & do follow him if you haven't 😊
I do like $SNOW and have a position. Databricks is doing very well. $GOOG plans to go on their own, so Snowflake forging a partnership with them looks very remote.
I think among the newer positions, I like $CFLT & felt sorry to have sold $HCP recently ( plan to buy back a small position again sometime).

I think you are very good at identifying the clear leaders and when there are potentially multiples in a category, your confidence isn't as high. Methinks a part of your overall success is to hitch your wagon to the obvious pure play leaders. Leaders gonna lead. ZS, TSLA, CRWD, NVDA, MDB, DDOG... All leaders in their categories. SNOW & Databricks are more co-leaders, hence why I suspect your conviction is slightly lower there.

$PLTR has position in Physical Gold
Yes, it's relatively small compared to its total cash
No, I'm not a goldbug

@goinglongtessla @TroyTeslike @TeslaBoomerMama I hear you.
1st para - fact
2nd para - conjecture (his opinion)
People should learn to distinguish the two
But my point is why people get mad when Troy made an opinion? We can disagree with his opinion. But imagine having people getting mad at you for giving an opinion
English

@heyadopted @TroyTeslike @TeslaBoomerMama 1st paragraph is info
2nd paragraph is conjecture
Troy over the past year has gotten into more conjecture over fact.
Troy has great info.
I can see why people would choose to unfollow due to him changing what he is doing.
If Troy doesn't like drama then 2nd para not needed
