  • The Limits of Tolerance

    Pain, pain tolerance —

    First, the obvious thought is pain is good. If your body never admitted any sort of pain signals, you would probably die. To experience large doses of pain is certainly terrible, yet when you compare it with the pain of death, even the highest doses of pain is preferable to death. And the good thing with pain is that it never lasts forever… Even the highest dose of pain, sooner or later the pain will subside, or at least lower the degree of pain.

  • In Praise of Vietnamese People

    1. They still care for beauty and aesthetics
    2. Most Americans are fast and ugly and don’t care for clothing, outwards style & appearance. Vietnamese women care for and strive for peak femininity — also the men, maximal male dominance and masculinity
  • What’s Sharpe Ratio?

    High sharpe ratio: get a lot of candy, don’t lose much. Low sharpe ratio: might not get enough candy or you might lose a lot.

    Imagine you have a special piggy bank that can give you extra candy but also sometimes might take candy away. The Sharpe Ratio is like a score that tells you how good that piggy bank is at giving you more candy than it takes away. A higher score means you get a lot of candy and don’t lose much. If the score is low, it means you might not get enough candy, or you might lose a lot.

    Imagine you have a magic piggy bank that can sometimes give you extra candy but also might take some candy away. The Sharpe Ratio is like a score telling you how good that magic piggy bank is at giving you more candy than it takes.

    • If the piggy bank gives you a lot of candy but doesn’t take much away, it has a high score.

    • If it takes away a lot of candy or doesn’t give you much, it has a low score.

    The higher the score, the better the piggy bank is at giving you candy without big ups and downs.

    Simply put, the Sharpe Ratio measures how much return you get for the risk you take. It looks at your investment’s return above the risk-free rate and compares it to the investment’s volatility. A higher Sharpe Ratio means you’re earning more return for each unit of risk you take.

    ..

    The Sharpe Ratio is a commonly used measure in finance to evaluate the risk-adjusted return of an investment or portfolio. It was developed by Nobel laureate William F. Sharpe.

    Definition

    Formally, the Sharpe Ratio is defined as:

    where:

    • is the expected return (or average return) of the investment or portfolio.

    • is the risk-free rate of return (often approximated by returns on U.S. Treasury bills).

    • is the standard deviation of the investment or portfolio’s returns, a measure of volatility (risk).

    Interpretation

    1. High Sharpe Ratio: A higher Sharpe Ratio indicates a better risk-adjusted performance. In other words, for every unit of risk (volatility), the investment or portfolio earns a higher excess return over the risk-free rate.

    2. Low (or Negative) Sharpe Ratio: A lower or negative Sharpe Ratio suggests that the risk isn’t being rewarded adequately by returns.

    Practical Considerations

    • Time Horizon: Typically, you calculate the Sharpe Ratio for a specified period (e.g., annual, monthly). If you’re using monthly data, you might annualize the ratio.

    • Comparison Tool: It’s most valuable when comparing multiple investments or portfolios. For instance, if two portfolios have the same level of return, the one with lower volatility will have a higher Sharpe Ratio.

    • Limitations: The Sharpe Ratio assumes normally distributed returns and can be less meaningful for investments with non-linear risk profiles (e.g., options or strategies with asymmetric returns). In those cases, other risk-adjusted measures like Sortino Ratio or Value at Risk may provide additional insights.

    Overall, the Sharpe Ratio helps investors and portfolio managers compare different investments on a level playing field by factoring in both the return and the volatility (risk) of those returns.

  • Health > Wealth

    After this really really 4 to 5 days of sickness, not sure if it’s a cold or flu… All the bitcoins on the planet don’t make up for it.

  • Travel Ideas

    1. Mask up inside airport, airplane, and also maybe uber and taxi?

    First, it may be annoying but just when at airport and transit, in airplane and airport mask up! About a week and a half in in Vietnam, caught one of the worst clothes in my life which has lasted about 4-5 days. I messed up the entire flight from LAX to Incheon to Saigon, the only time I didn’t wear a mask was when I was at the airport, and also I didn’t wear a face mask in my recent very very short local flight from Saigon to Dalat. What sicknesses, certainly it is impossible to know where it originated from, but after this really really bad sickness cold, I would have psychologically felt better knowing that if I just wore the facemask the entire time, and I still got a cold, then it was just randomness and chance.

    2. Don’t watch the movies

    The problem with watching a movie on a flight is that it is almost always films that you do not actually really want to watch.

    For example, on the flight I watched Mad Max FURIOSA, and I really didn’t enjoy it. In fact, it was a positively bad experience because it invoked thoughts of child pedophilia and stuff like that. Really really revolting.

    Also the problem about watching a flight on the film is that it forces you to stay in the sedentary position, and if you’re on a flight for too long, you know that sitting for too long will cause you major butt and back aches.

    if there is a certain movie film in series that you are really really dying to watch, just download it offline on your iPhone or iPad, and watch it while standing, in the back, and walking around. Hang out with the stewardesses in the back.

    3. Drink a shitload of water

    During the flight while in transit, it’s super annoying to have to pee all the time but maybe it is a good idea to just over hydrate, because at least this will motivate you to stay moving and going to the bathroom?

    And also, it may be better to be overhydrated than underhydrated.

  • Stable etymology

    Etymology of “stable” (adjective)

    • Origin: From the Latin word stabilis meaning “firm,” “steady,” or “steadfast,” which in turn comes from stare, meaning “to stand.”

    • Development: In Old French, it appeared as estable and carried over into Middle English as stable, retaining the sense of “secure,” “unchanging,” or “reliable.”

    Etymology of “stable” (noun)

    • Meaning: A building or enclosure where livestock (especially horses) are kept.

    • Origin: Ultimately from the same Latin root stare (“to stand”), via Late Latin stabulum (“standing place,” “stall”) and Anglo-French estable. In Middle English, stable retained the notion of “a place where animals stand or stay.”
