Incremental exercise Puns

I have been using hackerrank python exercises, but a lot of the exercises I find difficult are listed as 'easy'. Annoyingly, the solutions suggested on hackerrank seem to not be that reader friendly for a beginner, and don't seem to include the kind of syntax I have learnt. Their solutions seem to jump to a quite advanced way of solving them for example reducing whole exercises into one return line whereas this is too much for me at my current level.I have done a number of courses in python, including codeacademy, youtube videos, and python crash course book.So I am looking for a good resource with exercises that will bridge the gap.

Hi /r/incremental_games!

I am writing this while exercising on a crappy boring machine and wishing there was something better.

What if there was an exercise machine where you play an incremental game that substituted clicking with exercising?

Boss fights like in Clicker Heroes could be your intense 30 second bits, and you grind out your game with longer less intense exercise periods.

And you come back in a few hours or a day to collect your idle loot, but you have to exercise to generate the resources to spend it all.

I dunno, I am really just wondering if there's enough interest to justify kick-starting a device like this, which I might be able to do. A Kickstarter for such a thing is a pretty big endeavor on its own, though, so I'd like to know if it's actually a reasonable idea first.

Hi to all.

Could be possible to edit an increment scheme, so that an exercise increment after a specified number of workout? Not after reaching reps number or set number.

For example, an increment of 2,5 kg every two-three workout.

Is it possible?

Thank you.

Hi,

Wondering if I can get some help with editing workout programmes.

I added some assistance exercises to an existing plan - my default increment is 2.5kg but I've manually changed it to 1.25kg for some.

If I set the exercise as weight based - it will increase the weight for the next time I do that exercise (if I complete all reps) but is doing so by a random number like 1.3 kilos or something like that. If I set the exercise as percentage based, and I complete all reps at a given weight, it doesn't increase the weight next time I'm due to do it at all.

I'm probably going wrong somewhere but not sure where at the moment!

So I've always been in the habit of having pushups and sit-ups in my warmup routine. And recently I've started increasing the number of reps I do of them by 5 every week. I've reached 35 reps each atm. And plan on increasing it another 5 next week. Can anyone tell me what they think about it? I'm focusing more on losing fat than anything else and im working out at home due to Covid. Thanks!

22F, 6', SW: 206 lbs CW: 177.6 lbs, GW( for now) 170 lbs. I'm an EMT, but haven't been working due to knee surgery in december, though it is 95% healed. Wanting to lose weight and get fit so when I do go back to work I can do my best since I'll be immediately thrown into hell with Covid calls all day, plus our usual stuff we deal with.

So, I'm supposed to be eating 1,570 kcal a day for a loss of 1.5 lbs a week. It was going great, until the last 2 pr 3 days. I weighted myseld, 177.2 lbs. Next day 177.4, and now today, 177.6 lbs. I track what I eat relogiously on MFP, and I exercise 45 min to an hour 5-7 days a week depending on how i feel. I'm not even 100% sure why I'm posting. I suppose I'm just nervous/confused about the small increases. I want to know if its normal and in a few days ill drop back down, or if I am doing something wrong. And whatever it is, if I can correct it before it gets bad. Maybe I'm being a little unreasonable for worrying about it, I've just busted ass to get here in the last few months. Any and all advice is appreciated, thank you so much!

update I’ve looked at the option chain for several tickers and large quantities of puts have been placed/added right under max pain this week which I believe are manufacturered dumps through the option market. I think big dumps coming across across the market and OTM the money puts will be ITM by end of day. BIG DUMP. Please don’t trade options on max pain. Option chain gives us a prediction of how the day might play out and looking deeper into the option chains should be done before buying options. I’m not giving financial advice

I’ve spent the last several weeks staring at different stocks in active trader and I believe the entire market is illiquid. EVERY. SINGLE. STOCK. After watching charts and option chains for very high volume tickers like Apple, Tesla and Ford (and others that experience big spikes and drops), all prices move back to “max pain” for the week. Apple max pain this week is 172.50. I’ve watched all week - stock under 172.50 it will move up. Stock above 172.50 it will move back down. Stock will end the week at max pain so the least amount of options trigger. The lower the better, less shares have to be found.

I believe all this is done through the option chain, option creation and execution by market makers algorithms. To keep the market “liquid”. It’s why we see huge swings in Tesla. There are no shares.

We also see huge swings in the morning, afternoon or other random times in the entire market. It shoots straight up, why? It’s dipping too low and too close to the danger zone which would trigger a high volume, rapid sell off bc a high volume of puts will begin to auto exercise (dumping the price lower and loss of paper collateral). Shoots straight down? Calls begin auto exercising through algos shooting the price higher and higher. Can’t have that bc there are no shares available to deliver.

Some additional thoughts:

Maybe the algos were turned up during the pandemic crash bc if it didn’t another world economic crash. It’s why it just keeps climbing and climbing? Using leverage through options to prop the stock market back up?

We might see AH price moves based on close price in relation to “max pain”. Maybe they are covering or rebalancing/creating new options.

Any outside influence/news/buying shares throws option algos off and huge swings start. We are seeing this more and more in individual stocks and across the market. The market becomes more sensitive with any outside influence and cr

With the eyes of the world fixated on Russia’s border with Ukraine, Moscow is beginning to make major moves 7500km to the East on the Russian Pacific coast. Most major powers have already begun their pivot to Asia, and now Russia is scrambling to reassert itself into the struggle unfolding right in its own backyard. Will Russia be able to become a regional leader, or will they be forced to take a back seat to an ascendant China in this theatre?

With its heartland west of the Ural Mountains, Russia has long been tightly Europe-focused; but as geopolitical focal points continue to move toward the Indo-Pacific, Moscow is forced to pay attention to its long-neglected far eastern regions. These regions have seen little to no investment since some way into the Soviet Era, and aside from hosting Russia’s nuclear-armed submarine fleet in Vladivostok, the far-east has been of diminished military relevance to the leadership in Moscow since much of Nuclear forces were redeployed to Kola.
At present Vladivostok is a 6-7 day train ride from the heartland, making any deployments or logistics networks extremely challenging, raising old anxieties in the Kremlin about an inability to control its furthest regions in the event of an invasion or uprising. The Russian Vostok exercises were somewhat successful in proving Russia could rapidly deploy forces to the Pacific, but still left a lot to desire in the minds of Kremlin planners. The exercises were in perfect conditions, with time to prepare and even then the rapid deployment was less than smooth. The Russian forces have been a predominately Western focused force, and that stokes fears that the Russian forces are lagging increasing behind in logistical capabilities as the Pacific front continues to gain importance.

To try and combat this Putin set in motion his own Pivot to Asia a few years ago, which outlined plans to improve infrastructure & investment in the region, and to substantially increase the military capacity in the Russian far-east. Little of this has come to pass though, and much of the infrastructure in Kamchatka is in worse shape than when the plan was first proposed.

This issue goes beyond just infrastructure though, as this lack of refurbishing and reinvesting is also rampant in Russian surface fleets. With 5 fleets to modernise, Russia’s Pacific fleet has taken a back seat to its Baltic, Northern, and even Black Sea fleets meaning that Vladivostok continues to receive the Russian navies l

Inputting data directly into an app - such as in the example of a fitness app where you enter sets/reps - is a real friction point, especially if the UI throws up any roadblocks. Have you seen good practices out in the wild for this function?

Thinking of the design but also the UX I suppose.

Buy/sell ratio is not an accurate indicator on how the price should move. Numerous Twitter/Reddit accounts are saying "buy orders are higher! Manipulation!" thats now how it works.

-First of all the image always being linked is Fidelity only. That means orders through Fidelity specifically.

-Second if 1000 Apes place and order for 10 shares that is 10000 shares. If 10 institutions place and order for 2000 each thats 20000

so the buy order will be higher, but the amount of shares being bought/sold is what matters

Another thing that needs to be addressed. Every time an institution buys shares everyone hypes it up....literally just saw on Twitter the Goldmand Sachs 13F being circulated "iTs buLlIsH! tHeY'Re BuYinG fOr sQuEeZE!"

no.....not at all..... institutions have been buying tons of shares, because where do you think the lendable shares have been coming from? They have made millions in 2021 off lending shares. Another reason they buy shares is to bring down the price. By owning shares of a company it allows Puts to be exercised to sell 100 shares per contract at the strike price.

THAT is how they bring down the price. Notice all of those pictures that get posted all the time showing the sell orders of GME/AMC at increments of 100?

Example:

AMC sell price 20.00 100 shares

Sell price 19.00 100 shares

etc. thats what it is and that is how they're bringing the price down. Everyone needs to seriously learn how this all works and stop blindly following/agreeing these "influencers". They have zero clue

thank you to everyone who left me a comment :D

day 2 I really small space to play but only punched the door once lol

To start off, I'm not sure how I identify my economic beliefs anymore. I used to think I was socialist, until I was banned from r/socialism for not being socialist-y enough. And talking to anyone on the right, I'm a full-blown communist. So I'm just avoiding labels for now I guess, but anyway the reason I'm saying this is to preface the post by pointing out that I mostly hold pretty left-leaning views.

Now that said, we live in a system controlled by capitalists. That's just a fact. Workers have probably the least amount of power they've ever had (it seems to me at least), although lately that's FINALLY been changing to the good with the rise of r/antiwork and the unionization pushes across the country at various large corporations. I'm all for continuing to push things to left and IMO one of those things is implementing land value taxes. I believe that LVT would drive down one of the major sources of rent-seeking behavior and help any wage gains made by workers stay in the hands of workers, rather than going to increases in rent.

Someone commented on one of my posts about this and said that it's not a good policy because it's not revolutionary enough. If you hold that view, my question is why do some socialists/communists/hard-left leaning people think this isn't a policy worth implementing just because it isn't left enough? If it worked, it would improve workers' material conditions, thereby increasing their economic power and allowing them to further exercise that increased power. This improved worker freedom would likely even create snowballing gains for the left.

Are you guys just accelerationists or is there something I'm not understanding about why we must always go "full 100% revolution" and never move in steps? Or maybe are you guys just traumatized by the past faux-incrementalism of our current politicians? Honestly sometimes it feels like there are people on the left who just want to be obstructionist.

I guess the concept didn't work

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

How the TFSA works

Revised January 25, 2022

(My original post from my old account, re-posted and updated for 2021 under my new account)

Background

You may have heard about off-shore tax havens of questionable legality where wealthy people invest their money in legal "grey zones" and don't pay any tax, as featured for example, in Netflix's drama, The Laundromat.

The reality is that the Government of Canada offers 100% tax-free investing throughout your life, with unlimited withdrawals of your contributions and profits, and no limits on how much you can make tax-free. There is also nothing to report to the Canada Revenue Agency. Although Britain has a comparable program, Canada is the only country in the world that offers tax-free investing with this level of power and flexibility.

This includes stocks and options

As a Gen-Xer, I wrote this post with Millennials in mind, many of whom are getting interested in investing in ETFs, individual stocks, and also my personal favourite, options. Your generation is uniquely positioned to take advantage of this extremely powerful program at a relatively young age. But whether you're in your 20's or your 90's, read on!

Are TFSAs important? In 2021 Canadians had almost 1 trillion dollars saved up in their TFSAs, so if that doesn't prove that pennies add up to dollars, I don't know what does. The TFSA truly is the Great Canadian Tax Shelter.

I will periodically be checking this and adding issues as they arise, to this post. I really appreciate that people are finding this useful. As this post is now fairly complete from a basic mechanics point of view, and some questions are already answered in this post, please be advised that at this stage I cannot respond to questions that are already covered here. If I do not respond to your post, check this post as I may have added the answer to the FAQs at the bottom.

How to Invest in Stocks

A lot of people get really excited - for good reason - when they discover that the TFSA allows you to invest in stocks, tax free. I get questions about which stocks to buy.

I have made some comments about that throughout this post, however; I can't comprehensively answer that question. Having said that, though, if you're interested in picking your own stocks and want to learn how, I recommend starting with the following videos:

The first is by Peter Lynch, a famous American investor in the 80's who wrote some well-respected books for the general public, like "One Up o

Greetings Yachties,

As a rule, I don't invest much in the Canadian market. I've found that compared to the US market there really isn't much in terms of wild innovation or growth. The strongest performers are typically in finance, real estate, communications, and natural resources. Sure, there are the odd strong performers outside those bubbles that sit in my port - SHOP, BB, LAC, and IPO.TO - to name a few, but by and large, I aim for the US whenever possible to get the aggressive returns I want.

Now, there have already been streams of DD for some of the tickers I mentioned above. Surely, most everyone knows about SHOP by now with its 2000% run over the past 5 years. Last year, BB got lumped in with the rest of the BANG gang as a meme stock with some sudden, unexpected spikes (most notably last June). LAC and Lithium as a whole have recently been gaining traction in the past few weeks, and IPO.TO is just a good old-fashioned Alberta Oil energy play which in the past year alone shot a 748% return (much more upside expected to come this year).

Today though, I want to discuss a different kind of energy play with Cielo Waste Solutions Corp ($CWSFF). It is perhaps one of the few extremely high conviction plays I have and feel strongly about seeing succeed as a company. I'd like to share it with you all in hopes you see the value I do, speculative though it may be.

Who They Are & What They Do

Cielo Waste Solutions Corporation is a company coming out of infancy and moving into the growth phase of small businesses. They have an ambitious goal of becoming Canada's leading waste-to-fuel company. And, when they say "waste-to-fuel", what they mean is they literally have a patented process and have built facilities capable of turning garbage/some recyclables into diesel, kerosene (aquatic and airline), and naphtha. They basically have created the Back to the Future 2's Mr. Fusion concept IRL.

More specifically, their patented process allows them to turn waste wood, organic materials, landfill garbage, tires/rubber, plastics, and paper into the different fuels. I've tried reading further about this process and suffice it to say it's some warlock-alchemy shit. They somehow use their patented catalyst combined with molecules of the liquified, slow-heated garbage and run it through a series of distillation procedures which convert it to whatever fuel they want to produce. It's highly efficient and has an extremely low impact on the environment as the heat le

Hi all,

In the fall we had a whole new geothermal system installed in our 3600sqft, 100 year old house in MA. This is comprised of 2 W2A units with ductwork (3 ton ClimateMaster TEV038 package and 4 ton ClimateMaster TES049 split) connected to a vertical closed loop (2 x 450ft). The package unit downstairs is not zoned, and the split unit for the upstairs is zoned with a damper and a bypass. This system replaced the hydronic baseboard heat powered by a natural gas boiler, which was 25+ years old, inefficient, and barely made it through last winter, and the new system will provide AC which this house has never had beyond window units. So far the comfort is great, just some rebalancing to do on the ductwork to even out the temperatures throughout the house.

So far though, our utility costs (gas + electric) have gone significantly up since last year (50%!), whereas I expected the total to save us at least a little bit per month – and this takes into account adjusting last year's usage to this year's prices, as both gas and electricity have gone up of course. The gas now is almost zero (customer charge + gas fireplace + stove usage), and the electric bill has gone up by more than we ever paid for gas last year. In December we used about 100kWh per day, compared to last December using 28 kWh per day. January is shaping up to be significantly worse, the last 24 hours we used 143 kWh. It is difficult to compare exactly year to year, as last year with the gas we were setting back our thermostat when sleeping or for unoccupied zones, but this year with the geo we are keeping a consistent temperature in each zone. In addition, this fall we also had Mass Save in to do air sealing and add a bunch of insulation, most importantly sealing and insulating our basement rim joists, sealing wall plates in the attic, and adding 13" of cellulose on top of our existing 5" of fiberglass insulation in the attic. In my mind, the setpoint differences and the weatherization improvements should mostly cancel each other out.

I would love some guidance on how to investigate this, as our installer is so far focused on us doing further weatherization improvements to close the gap (can that really make a 50% difference even after the low hanging fruit has already been done?), and his system diagnostics seem to be limited to making sure that the systems are running according to factory specifications (which of course at startup they were, but I don't know how in depth that is). At a high

🔵 Overfitting 🔵

🧐 Overfitting is a common phenomenon the machine learning community tries to avoid like the plague. This is because when a model overfits it performs extremely well on the training data that it is provided but performs poorly and fails to generalize on unseen data.

💾 You can imagine overfitting with an analogy. When one assumes that the questions in the exercise session of a lecture are exactly what will be asked in the exam and end up memorizing them. During the exam, they realize that this rote-learning would not be of any help in answering unseen questions.

😮 Overfitting can be avoided in many ways. 5 common ways to do so is by (1) regularization of the model parameters using L1 or L2 norm for example (see previous posts for more details), (2) gathering more training data to let the model cut through the noise, (3) early stopping by monitoring the training and validation error curves, (4) reducing the number of features by selecting better features and (5) by performing data augmentation.

I have been studying and practicing Machine Learning and Computer Vision for 7+ years. As time has passed I have realized more and more the power of data-driven decision-making. Seeing firsthand what ML is capable of I have personally felt that it can be a great inter-disciplinary tool to automate workflows. I will bring up different topics of ML in the form of short notes which can be of interest to existing practitioners and fresh enthusiasts alike.

The posts will cover topics like statistics, linear algebra, probability, data representation, modeling, computer vision among other things. I want this to be an incremental journey, starting from the basics and building up to more complex ideas.

If you like such content and would like to steer the topics I cover, feel free to suggest topics you would like to know more about in the comments.

This is a ban, not on 80% kits specifically, but a ban on the concept of exercising your right to build your own firearm. Which is a legal right every American has enjoyed since before the founding of this country.

Because you cease to be able to exercise that right when it is gated by the requirement to go through a governmentally licensed manufacturer.

You might say, "so what, we think that should be banned because we believe every firearm should be registered and tracked from creation to transfer."

But you must understand that something ceases to be a constitutional right by definition if it can only be exercised by explicit permission of the state. Which is what you do when you require a federal manufacturing license as a prerequisite for every firearm to be owned.

In order to understand why, let us apply this same standard to the areas of journalism, book publishing, running a church, being secure in your person and papers, and growing your own food (not an explicitly constitutional right, but we can agree an essential basic human right required to live and therefore implied when it says we have the right to life).

What if it was illegal to buy a home book printing and binding kit without a federal license and serial number attached to each book you created.

Which is essentially what England did prior to the revolution with the tax stamp act. No piece of paper could be created without a stamp put on it and a tax paid for it. This would have effectively stifled free speech by allowing every single piece of political writing against the crown to be traced back to it's author and the shop which facilitated it's printing.

Could you have a reasonable expectation of being able to exercise your first amendment rights under such conditions? No. Because your freedom of speech is designed to keep the government in check, any power the government has to gatekeep your exercise of that right, or make you fear exercising that right by robbing you of anonymity (therefore intimidating you into silence by fear of retribution), gives the government power over you rather than you having power over the government. The later is required for our system of government to continue functioning properly.

Would we have a reasonable expectation of freedom of religion if churches had to register to be legal to exist like they do in China?

You might say, "sure, I don't see how registration by itself harms anything". Until you realize that once the standard is set that you

Given all of the tumult among this movement over the past couple days, I believe it’s become apparent that we lack organization. Despite what some delusional mods may think, we have no true leadership among us. This is not an attempt to establish leadership, but rather an attempt to add some organization to our movement without the need for leadership.

Most formal leadership and governments today work under a document of some sort (a constitution, a charter, etc.). While I don’t believe something of this level is necessary or helpful at this point, I did see another person commenting that a manifesto of sorts would be helpful. I believe having a written document of sorts would help to focus our movement, and provide a place of reference for people unfamiliar with the movement when they start to look into what’s going on. The benefit of something written like this over specific leadership is that it can be collectively owned by the group, rather than risking (ahem) some rogue mods trying to claim the movement as their own.

I made an attempt at a manifesto here. This is a first draft, and I would like to get peoples’ opinions as far as the language I’m using, how well it’s written, what important topics I may have left out, etc. I’d also like to get opinions on whether having this written out is useful, and if not, are there changes that can be made to make this useful, or if you just want me to fuck off. I based this somewhat loosely off of the US’s Declaration of Independence, and this is fairly US-centric (because I’m American, and that’s what I know), but I believe that this can serve as a framework for people from other countries.

Without further ado:

It has been said that all people have an unalienable Right to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. In a society where only a select few can truly exercise this Right, it becomes just and proper for the people to come together and alter or abolish the system which has taken from them their wealth, their rights, and their lives.

We hold it an undeniable truth that all people, regardless of circumstances of birth or trials of life, are deserving of the wealth and prosperity of the society which they shape. The working class of this world are systematically denied these rights through the economic system which they are forced to support, by means of forced reliance. In an advanced society, all people should be able to afford food, water, shelter, health care, and other basic need

Oh the meta outside is frightful,

but the comp is so delightful

and if you want to stun your foes,

make 'em slow, make 'em slow, make 'em slow!

The blows show no sign of stopping,

As the meter bars keep dropping,

Their speed is turned way down low,

Make 'em slow, make 'em slow, make 'em slow!

When we finally get to fight,

As our leadership helps us to swarm,

As the enemies feel frostbite,

and all the month long we'll be scorned!

Oh the Barda is slowly dying,

while the debuffs keep applying,

as long as the fight can go,

make 'em slow, make 'em slow, make 'em slow!

Happy holidays everyone! With his recent rework, Captain Cold finally delivers a white Christmas for DC Legends! The leader of the Flash's rogues gallery, he was long overdue for an upgrade as his low health and damage didn't let him survive the rapidly scaling meta around him! However, will he be the gift that keeps on giving, or a lump of coal? Lets get to the basics!

====== Basics ======

- Captain Cold is an energy based villain who specializes in meter control and speed downs. He has a unique mechanic in cooldown increasing, and helps his allies jump into the fray when the enemy is attacking!

- Captain cold is reasonably fast at 115 speed. While this won't be helping him blitz the competition, it is still respectable enough to let him get a leg up over a fair amount of enemies (especially once the speed downs start coming in!)

- Captain cold is a leader character, where he gets the most value thanks to his ability to generate out-of-turn value for his allies. He mainly focuses on control aspects (meter drain, speed drain, stun, cooldown increase), though he does also have some supportive attributes as well (Purge, assist call, ect)

======

As one can see, Captain Cold is a somewhat narrow character overall in how he operates: Slow the enemies, lock them down, so on. He is similar to Dr. Freeze in a lot of ways, though the two differ in approach quite a bit (and they happen to pair well together). Whereas Dr. Freeze is focused more on chunks of speed downs and incremental speed bumps, Captain cold is more focused on outright denying turns to a single enemy. As we go through the abilities, it can be easy to draw lines between them, but keep in mind they are functionally different characters!

====== Abilities ======

Basic - Cold Shot

Captain Cold blasts his opponents with his freeze gun, dishing out some met

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

Do your worst!

How are you currently mitigating life risks, or thinking about mitigating, to reduce various risks for you and your family? Think 'estate plan' but beyond that, what do extremely wealthy people do? Would also love to hear unconventional things regardless of whether it's cheap or costly.

I can start (NW $8M). I've done many of the following:

• Health
  • Whole body MRI to catch potential cancers while it's early and more treatable. Just had my closest childhood friend ($100M+ NW and in early 30s) diagnosed with late stage cancer, devastating. Podcast from Dr. Peter Attia
  • VO2 max test since there is a crazy strong correlation (and likely causation) between VO2max and all-cause mortality. Podcast from Dr. Peter Attia
  • Getting a safe car - for youngish people car accidents are one of the highest probabilities of death
  • All the standard stuff: standard blood panels yearly, good nutrition, 8 hrs of sleep
• General risk reduction strategies
  • Get a second permanent residence/citizenship outside of the U.S. Haven't done this one but been musing about it, who has done it here?
  • Estate plan
  • Emergency water and other supplies for 2 weeks
• Finance risk reduction
  • Umbrella insurance
    • Question: Are other non-home/auto insurances worthwhile when you are $5M? If so, which ones?
  • 529 college savings plan & education savings account when my son was born (this is less of a risk reduction but more of a hack that few know about)

Edit 1:

a) Thanks all for your own ideas and comments. The goal of this thread was to really hear from you all to see what other "financially sophisticated" folks are doing since only in the past year did I do 90% of what I mentioned above. In other words, I still feel like I don't know what I don't know in certain areas especially in things like tax havens. If you are fatFIRE, or just have a solid idea to add, please contribute below on what sort of unconventional, but wise, things you would do or consider.

b) I saw a lot of comments about exercise and my lack of mentioning in my original post. I had only mentioned things that I thought were incremental $ and/or unusual but worthwhile things to consider. Exercise is a must and I completely agree you should be doing it before considering a VO2max test. I do 3 hrs of zone 2 cardio training and 0.5 hrs of high intensity interval training per week. In addition, I do p

Mathematical puns makes me number

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

They were cooked in Greece.

I've been pretty consistent with bodyweight fitness + running 4-6 days a week for the past ~16 months. Lost 20 pounds of fat, got stronger. Can run farther and faster. Sleep better, have more energy.

But. I'm basically out of motivation to keep improving. I've used the Recommended Routine, Begin Bodyweight by FitnessFAQs, and Mobility by Cali Move. But I get bored with each of them. They have good, hard routines, but I feel like I'm just going through the motions. I miss a day or two, and it doesn't matter, because, what's the point?

I have vague goals like "do a front lever", but I need goals with incremental steps. I'm going through the programs above, but they all include many exercises, and I don't get a sense of measurable progress in any particular area when I'm doing so many different things. So I get bored and lose my motivation.

Does anyone have examples of goals/programs they have used to make progress? To break out of the doldrums? Tips for not getting bogged down?

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

With the eyes of the world fixated on Russia’s border with Ukraine, Moscow is beginning to make major moves 7500km to the East on the Russian Pacific coast. Most major powers have already begun their pivot to Asia, and now Russia is scrambling to reassert itself into the struggle unfolding right in its own backyard. Will Russia be able to become a regional leader, or will they be forced to take a back seat to an ascendant China in this theatre?

With its heartland west of the Ural Mountains, Russia has long been tightly Europe-focused; but as geopolitical focal points continue to move toward the Indo-Pacific, Moscow is forced to pay attention to its long-neglected far eastern regions. These regions have seen little to no investment since some way into the Soviet Era, and aside from hosting Russia’s nuclear-armed submarine fleet in Vladivostok, the far-east has been of diminished military relevance to the leadership in Moscow since much of Nuclear forces were redeployed to Kola.
At present Vladivostok is a 6-7 day train ride from the heartland, making any deployments or logistics networks extremely challenging, raising old anxieties in the Kremlin about an inability to control its furthest regions in the event of an invasion or uprising. The Russian Vostok exercises were somewhat successful in proving Russia could rapidly deploy forces to the Pacific, but still left a lot to desire in the minds of Kremlin planners. The exercises were in perfect conditions, with time to prepare and even then the rapid deployment was less than smooth. The Russian forces have been a predominately Western focused force, and that stokes fears that the Russian forces are lagging increasing behind in logistical capabilities as the Pacific front continues to gain importance.

To try and combat this Putin set in motion his own Pivot to Asia a few years ago, which outlined plans to improve infrastructure & investment in the region, and to substantially increase the military capacity in the Russian far-east. Little of this has come to pass though, and much of the infrastructure in Kamchatka is in worse shape than when the plan was first proposed.

This issue goes beyond just infrastructure though, as this lack of refurbishing and reinvesting is also rampant in Russian surface fleets. With 5 fleets to modernise, Russia’s Pacific fleet has taken a back seat to its Baltic, Northern, and even Black Sea fleets meaning that Vladivostok continues to receive the Russian navies l

🔵 Overfitting 🔵

🧐 Overfitting is a common phenomenon the machine learning community tries to avoid like the plague. This is because when a model overfits it performs extremely well on the training data that it is provided but performs poorly and fails to generalize on unseen data.

💾 You can imagine overfitting with an analogy. When one assumes that the questions in the exercise session of a lecture are exactly what will be asked in the exam and end up memorizing them. During the exam, they realize that this rote-learning would not be of any help in answering unseen questions.

😮 Overfitting can be avoided in many ways. 5 common ways to do so is by (1) regularization of the model parameters using L1 or L2 norm for example (see previous posts for more details), (2) gathering more training data to let the model cut through the noise, (3) early stopping by monitoring the training and validation error curves, (4) reducing the number of features by selecting better features and (5) by performing data augmentation.

This is the first post and hopefully the first of many to come. I have been studying and practicing Machine Learning and Computer Vision for 7+ years. As time has passed I have realized more and more the power of data-driven decision-making. Seeing firsthand what ML is capable of I have personally felt that it can be a great inter-disciplinary tool to automate workflows. I will bring up different topics of ML in the form of short notes which can be of interest to existing practitioners and fresh enthusiasts alike.

The posts will cover topics like statistics, linear algebra, probability, data representation, modeling, computer vision among other things. I want this to be an incremental journey, starting from the basics and building up to more complex ideas.

If you like such content and would like to steer the topics I cover, feel free to suggest topics you would like to know more about in the comments.
