So I want to write a gamble bot for the forex market and the books that im reading are all about Ergodic theory which I dont understand so I thought maybe I should read a look about measure theory first but I dont understand them either, they are too abstract right from the beginning.
So I tried cross reading f.e. if I don't understand a Notation I looked it up somewhere else but the introduction books are all to easy and don't have that complex notation. There seems to be a big difficulty gap between those topics.
What do?

Get a math education.
You cannot just into advanced MSc level math without a sound mathematical foundation.
Basically, just give up.

Hmm. Ok so just to fill you in on trading algorithms. It's all pretty much shit at the moment. They're moving towards more scientific approaches at the moment, and attempting to use machine learning algorithms.
Which in my opinion are more or less just formalizing what some traders did, but automating it.
You will need a foundation in math, and definitely MSc level.
If you were to create something, it would have to be a detailed agent based model. Since trading is influenced by other traders, and in addition to that consumer behavior. So, unless you can optimize those sorts of factors, a small section of the market place, you're dealing with insane data sets.
The models I run generate about 30 mil data points over several hours. And it took me a year to develop and validate. The system i examined is magnitudes smaller than the forex market. You'd be hard pressed to predict the market.
And in all honesty, anyone that says they can... Well, I'd call bullshit. More like inside knowledge and power plays, than anything numerical.

ok... I have a BSc in comp sci but I guess its shit for this kind of stuff

Guess I will go with machine learning algos then. I think I may be able to handle them better.
thanks

If universe is expanding, are we expanding too? In a lower scale.

Can light and sound interfere with wifi signals?

No.
>>
>>9070932
air is pretty much lossless and transparent to wifi, so sound doesn't really fuck with it. if it wasn't so transparent, conceivably sound could set up standing waves which light could refract off.
wifi devices may use Surface Acoustic Wave SAW devices, but the wavelengths would be incredibly short in a solid caused by high frequency deformations induced by rapidly changing electric fields. Moreover, the impedance mismatch between air and solids is very bad, so very little external sound energy can be transfered to the SAW.
visible light is an electromagnetic phenomenon like wifi. visible light has wavelengths on the order of hundreds of nanometers, while wifi has wavelengths on the order of 10s of centimeters. Because the wavelengths are so different, and because neither band really interacts much with air, they don't really interact with each other.
TL;DR no

What if I just really like math and want to advance my education a bit and I don't give a shit about money or contributing to society?
How do I just game an institution into letting me just complete a master's in pure math and then.. just stop there? Nobody wants that sort of thing from what I understand but that's about where I care to take the business, for myself. That way, I'm just good enough so as to not have a pretense of being a crank!

Why not just self-teach yourself the math? Why do you need some bureaucratic institution to spoonfeed it to you?
>>
>>9070917
I'm already doing that, of course. I just also like the idea of a modicum of non-crank respectability without putting in phd tier work.
>>
>>9070935
Earn respect by contributing to the field, then.
You just sound like you want to call yourself a mathematician without actually becoming a mathematician.

There are people on Mars and they run the world, Russian/American cross-breed, which are also my greatest enemy because of genetics. I basically give up, the word virus parasite in my mind is too harsh; I'd rather die, or give away what I know in full.
Things to know about my condition:
It's a word-virus parasite but it easily confuses me with images of girls or boys, when it is simply of no gender and one entity, not multple entities.
Help is the only option, the only way to suppress the parasite is assume help, that help is coming or that help is with you; otherwise you are alone, and they prey on the word 'alone'...
I'm straight to the common idea of sexuality, but my knowledge of sexuality is different than the common person; where 'gay' is friendly, and 'straight' is normal, in a quad sphere-with-spiral shape.
No advantage can be gained from word-virus parasite; it has to leave before I can gain any advantage.
If I think that good is to be gained form the word virus parasite, then it feeds on my good pledge; that is, if anything good is thought to exist in that realm (complex illusion); hard to acheive in a word world.
My imagination is so restrict it's causing me to overheat and harm myself to the point of blindness.
Old fashioned ways to exit universe include:
Face Jigsaw; change the appearence of your face through visual abstraction, using the nose and cheeks.
Simulate Death; where you imagine death by creating a scene using maleficent sensory.
Sensory Pain Threshold imagining stacked frame after frame of sensory mutation; sensory pain threshold.
Great Turn; flipping the eyelids round with eye movement, aiming for a distant, rushed observer.
Circuit Board where you cause a triple jump with your eyes (which is a bottle shape with bottle cap; 1 blink set, 2 blink set and 3rd blink set linked); if you finish the triple jump at any location, it can be theorized that you land in an abstract circuit board.

What the fuck happens if we harness it? Ichigo Kakusake says we use it to create a new universe and leave this one in endgame civilization. Some physics professor said it would definitively prove whether or not we lived in a false vacuum, primarily by destroying everything in the universe at the speed of light.

Start with the Greeks.

>>9070799
Yes, at the very least for historical purposes, plus it's just good bedside reading and pretty aesthetically pleasing to derive a lot of nice, visual results some from basic axioms and clever constructions.
>>
>>9070799
I do, yes.
It's actually fairly easy to read once you really get into it, and the whole thought process is not fundamentally different from how the rest of math actually works. Which is the whole point.
I went through about 20 props about two weeks ago, went up and down them, backwards and forwards, re-constructed my own understandings of them, got the general thrust of the proofs as intended. You should do it if you have a certain historical interest, but that is NOT the only reason. The other point is to know and understand that mathematical truth doesn't change.

Ok, /sci/...
The other day i came to the realisation that most of your body is derived from the assimilation of other organisms into your own flesh.
A lot like one of those sci-fi aliens, as you absorb and consume animals, plants and the atmosphere, you grow in size.
Take your weight (in kg), minus 3.5 (av. baby weight in kg) and that is pretty much all animal, plant and oxygen that has been turned into your body.
Also, consider the fact you were an embryo that came from two gametes to form one cell, and all other cells came from your mother that also used animal and plant molecules to grow you...
that makes you about 99.999999999997312% cow, lamb, pig, chicken, turkey, potato, water, apple, etc.

Every part of you was derived from some other living thing. You metabolize oxygen from the atmosphere. Only algae and plants create living tissue from carbon dioxide and water. Your other cells came from division and nutrition (proteins, fats, carbos) provided by mom. You want an existential crisis? Remember that you are mostly water and need to drink almost daily to survive.....
>>
>>9070792
This is my point. That fact that we are sentient emotive beings with a frankenstein of a body derived from pieces other organisms. Our intelligence, our memory, our existence is held together inside a mesh of various parts of origins so different to our own being.

Aye. In the US, there are even some products that they don't allow to have actual sugar in them. It's why some soft drinks taste different in America.

I have some calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate prills that I've been using for hydroponics. Instead of making stock solutions I've been using small dry quantities and as a result they have caked very badly making accurate measurement impossible. Is there a good way to dehydrate them at home?

A very low power induction oven at around 80℃. They are salts, but nitrates get unstable at high temperatures.

Are mental disorders just what happens when our brain receives training data (environment during childhood) outside the typical parameters we have evolved for (abusive, negligent), which it then over-fits, rendering us incapable of responding correctly to normal training data (healthy relationships) until we receive enough new training data in controlled environments like therapy (re-training the neural net by adding new training data and trying to snip away bad data) to balance us again...?

No, it's much more complex than that. You have to include other stuff like genetics, stress on your parents when you weren't even born yet (what is epigenetics?), and probably other stuff we don't even suspect (intestinal biota?).
Not saying what you said is wrong but that it is incomplete.
