A picture’s worth a thousand words.
Now that the new MK8 version of Tetsuo is settling in and self-calibrating, its showing promising numbers, but, with the volatility of the markets these last few years, it would be irresponsible to say it’s not just getting dragged up by alpha yet.
Deployment is automated so adding in new features here or there as they get noticed so I have more knobs to adjust in between it configurating symbols.
The symbols blacklist for UIP was largely carried over from earlier generations, so, now that it rotates out symbols I’m seeing it pick up and re-blacklist the bad ones and forecast on the good ones. I also reduced the accuracy paramters as I’m seeing a strong positive correlation between metrics but not tight enough to justify “everything at 90%” for the filters. This is creating stronger variance and volatility — and higher numbers for results as I adjust it.
So far so good. Typically this is where it has a shit day the next day because I posted that it looks like some kinks were worked out and it may be viable. There isn’t enough data. One can only hope. The numbers currently are whispered promises.
Almost time for a cleaning spree.
The dog is happy. I made a potato soup in the crock pot that turned out well so he’s prowling around the house from the smells. He’s a funny little black labrador that watches me make my coffee every morning and, even though you’re not supposed to give your dog coffee, he will get upset if I don’t give him a treat when it’s that time, so, every time I go to make a latte I give him a single coffee bean. He loves ’em. He follows me around the kitchen whenever I’m in it to help, even though there’s nothing he can really do to help with anything. Luigi is a good boy.
Post-project recovery is going well. Still building up those pullups. Still drinking my premo lattes for now. I’ll really miss the coffee from this era.
Nothing on the job front, yet. Something will open up. The publications related to Tetsuo may help but I really am not well wired for the business of selling myself.
I have some ideas to try out, though. Every little bit helps — we’re in the largest jobs crunch the IT industry has ever faced, and companies are offloading employees by the 10s of thousands a month, so, every gig is flooded with applicants as they’re posted. Any way to stand out helps.
Dark Horse is coming but I have to deliberately delay it again to recover so I don’t do two involved projects back to back without a recovery period.
Eh, whatever. Time to watch movies and eat my potato soup.
