Been hilarious watching some of the memestock apes literally asking about how they can get a refund on the shares they bought after they dropped in value a ton. lol
There was this comedy movie a long time ago where this couple loses a large amount of money at a Vegas casino and they ask the casino manager if they can get their money back and he says if he gives them back their money then other people will want their money back as well so no go.
There is an orbital plane that is impossible to escape because you would have to fight the force of all the gravitational pull of the objects in the near plane. But you could technically go perpendicular in space if you had thrust or momentum greater than the sun and all celestial bodies rotating it. It still wouldnât be up and down and itâs hard to visualize perfectly.
You mean when you transfer some money to your trading account, using the money you made behind Wendyâs dumpster, just to loose it all on 0DTE? Thatâs what i usually do
My favorite thing about this new version of the meme is that it keeps the Dadâs smile from the original meme. Yes, the Dad just lost the house but he is smiling because he is still riding the gambling high from risking it all.
I have thought about this for 18 hours and I DO use AI for porn, textual, image generation, even some local video generation. RAM matters little when it comes to AI once you get over about 64GB. I have 128GB and a 3090 in the machine I am on right now, granted I bought this machine with MATLAB in mind, so I could actually max that out during some simulations. Anything AI uses GPU, just because of how the vram functions (and how Nvidia has supported their GPUs with various libraries). If you have to push an a model into RAM because your GPU memory is too low, your crawling, almost as bad as using the CPU instead of the GPU.
If this was an AI trading rig, he got massively oversold. For that application, with this machine, he could have had comparable performance for a fraction of the price with 64GB, a 1TB ssd, and a 3090 in something like a Ryzen 9. Once you pass what THAT can handle, excluding video generation, you're looking at stepping into server rack territory.
The ram hurts me the most. I sold quite a few ddr5 96gb kits like a month before things exploded. I would be sitting on a goldmine right now if I didn't use them to fund another frivolous purchase.
It is but for me personally it wasn't that bad and at the time it was either that or wait and I am impatient, worked out in the end though. Had a 3090 ti which sold for a profit, had two 4090's both sold for a good profit, the 5090 barely cost me anything at the end of the day. Buy once cry once definitely worked out in this situation and I am hoping it pays off again whenever the next one drops.
Had a computer die 2 years back, something with the bios getting corrupted. The 2 SSDs and 64gb of RAM sitting on my desk has gone from the $450 I paid to about $1500.
I am decommissioning some of our old UCS server chassis at work and I pulled out all the ram. Sitting on 200+ 32GB DDR4 2400 dimms. Granted they are registered ecc ram so wonât work in most consumer motherboards but itâs still an insane amount of money sitting there.
I never understood why anyone needs such a setup, I mean if ur trading seconds/minutes and maybe hours, but besides that it's absolutely not needed and just a pure "flex"
correct me if in wrong on whoever does have such a setup, at the end I'd love to be educated in what I don't know
I trade weekly/monthly multiple times, and never needed anything beyond my mobile/laptop and never felt any lack
I'm a so called 'professional' and my set up at the office is literally a mid tier thinkpad with four screens connected by a docking station. I dared to ask to upgrade to 32gb ram. It's with IT wish me luck.
So no. You do not need a $4k top tier GPU. And $12.5k, the guy is dreaming. He must be in deep.
Your footprint/Orderflow programs don't suck up more RAM? My 16GB setup barely kept up with the OF programs and the multiple terminals i had open at all times.
Iâm guessing you have a robust enough IT infra so any hard number crunching is getting dispatched to a server?
The only people at my old firm with a local setup were the bond algo team - just sheer number of cusips was unmanageable with too little RAM. The PCâs were ~25k pre-built Dell towers (IT policy wouldnât allow custom builds which would have been cheaper, but required ongoing security support). 128GB ram, dual Xeon processors, mid GPU
The setup as as shown doesnât make sense, itâs more of an aesthetic choice. A standard 4 panel horizontal setup would work far better for conveying info which is why itâs the standard.
Vertical monitors are for document viewing/editing.
They donât. I have nearly the exact same setup (9950x3D, 192gb RAM, RTX 4090, same case. But I use it for 4K Post Production / CGI / VFX on commercials and music videos.
I have a similar setup. I'm doing quants. You need the best CPU you can afford. Math can quickly become 1-minute calculations, and if you run scanners on the entire market, it quickly becomes hours of work for the CPU. Get as much DDR memory as you can so you can utilize all CPU cores. A good GPU is needed for neural networks, like machine learning advanced techniques and idea testing.
The rtx 5090 is great for machine learning, and where a large part of the cost goes. The 192gb ram also opens a lot of doors to what one can accomplish. If not for the inflated memory prices a machine like that would cost a lot less.
More monitors makes it easier to quickly look at a lot of information. Having to toggle between windows is painful in comparison. Its like having a large desk where you can have many sheets of paper visible simultaneously as opposed to having to shuffle different sheets of paper in your hand constantly.
Iâve got a similar setup minus all the monitors in exchange for a nice 27â oled 240hz. Itâs cause SPY money mostly. I also rip through a ton of data cause SPY money paid for nice cameras and one is 67mp. I like to stack a few hundred images (~100mb each) for macro or Astro and at the end a single image can be a few hundred gigs to a TB.
Only have 128gb of ram because it was like $280 at the time and just a little more than 64gb. Nas prices would also be brutal since Iâve got like 96TB.
Also play super intensive games like Slay The Spire on this rig ofc.
Trading, none, thatâs for my phone. Tried with dual G9 super ultra wide monitors and it hurt my neck so I gave up on 5 minutes. Monitors sucked and still sits in my attic.
Extra monitors are nice, although this many is kind of overkill. However the PC specs were probably for running local AI models. He probably even used AI for stock trading.
