@systematicls JCC?

Retarded take. Spent a lifetime chewing glass in the military, in martial arts and my career and consistently found that the ones who have the most fun and are the most light-hearted about things last the longest. Life, your career and your business is longer than any marathon, trek or expedition you can do. It is going to be tough for everyone, and the suffering will last for far longer than any analogy you can come up with. A 42km marathon is nothing compared to your life's work. Ask me how I know, I spent years of my life where I've spent weeks trekking through the jungle for hundreds of kilometres, deprived of food, water and sleep. Yet the pain of difficulty of building a team and business demands far more endurance than that. Smile and have a good time anyway.

Codex and Claude Code are literally unusable in areas where you want to do defensive security analysis. Every small request is being flagged as a cybersecurity request. In my opinion, this is a generational mistake and will only serve as the stepping stone for users to try open-sourced models.

@tcoste110 Bingo

@systematicls I've never understood why the Dunning-Kruger effect is so pronounced in trading when it's all but non-existent in other technical fields. No one is out there telling doctors they're wrong and treating their cancer with leaches or bleeding.

Don’t want to be dancing on graves but new comers to investing rarely end well no matter how hyped things look at the beginning. One interesting phenomenon about careers with high variance is that it attracts a lot of people who are not trained for it but believe they can do it anyway. You won’t see an amateur glove up with confidence to fight a world champion boxer, but people seem willing at any given point in time to go head to head with the best firms in trading/investing. It is a high variance game, so you can look like a genius betting the house on a coin flip but it is a matter of time before it goes the wrong way, and then the house of cards will come crashing down. As it has for many hyped funds since the history of industrialised fund management.

My new nemesis

@thsottiaux @thsottiaux The security/cyber trigger is too sensitive. It should be smarter (e.g. knowing I am operating entirely within the sandbox of my repository, etc); right now it tells me every 5 minutes that I need to apply for cyber access.

Here you are! Thinking I am about to announce a reset. But no. I’m just scrolling twitter and looking for feedback on ChatGPT Work. What should we improve?

Elijah and Daniel are both sharp as a razor and its well worth getting to know them.

@__paleologo @BottleofDaniel Completely makes sense then. Would you continue with Wiley going forward now that circumstances has changed?

@systematicls @BottleofDaniel Yes, I’d say legitimacy and reach. Recall that I signed with Wiley sometime late 2019 when I was a complete unknown. I think it worked out well.

Just got this book from AMZN. Self-published, 450pp, don’t know the author. It has a bit of everything: techniques, asset classes, horizons. I haven’t read carefully but it seems to have at least something for everyone and to be very rich in concepts. Should be fun to read.

@__paleologo @BottleofDaniel @__paleologo What do you optimize for by publishing with Wiley? Legitimacy? Your name alone should command that by now? Reach? I doubt wiley is doing much for you in that regard.

@BottleofDaniel very much. If I were optimizing for money, I would have done it.

@cornd0gman They're gaining steam in Singapore, we just had a fair and I saw like 4 stores selling Korean corndogs.

@systematicls Korean corndogs so hot rn

In the age of AI, you either do something that gets better as AI gets better, or you do something completely orthogonal to AI. Never felt like a better time to start a boxing gym.

@Eremeyen3 I never doubted that once in my life 😎

@systematicls Ur act a smart guy lol

i am trying to figure out how GPT 5.6 cost less and is more token efficient than 5.5 ever was... but kills our usage limits on our plans much faster.. how does that make any sense.

@0xinternetchild You don't run at 100km/hr? permanent underclass

@systematicls just run 1% faster everyday until you reach 100km/h theory

The most important thing to being good at something is to show up daily and allowing yourself to improve. If you improve 1% a day, by the end of a year you are ~40x better, and it you improve 2% a day, by the end of a year you are ~1400x better. To be exceptional is to have consistency for compounding whilst everyone else succumbs to entropic decline.

Whatever my failings are today Tomorrow is an opportunity for me to wake up and try again And one day those failings will cease to be

@TertiusRP Thank you, I really appreciate this. I don't have a process. I've been told I write like I talk, and I talk like I write. I suppose I just pen down whatever goes on in my mind.

@systematicls I really like your writing, if I have to summarize it in one word, it's effective. What is your writing process, if you have one you can articulate? (other than, of course, actually knowing the stuff you are writing about)

@pingpongsniping Much appreciated

@systematicls god sent
